Chapter 52: Naren's Situation (6) The Way of Being an Official (1)

This time, Fu Meng Lingcha met Sun Xiurong as soon as possible.

It was not because he made shocking contributions in Hunu Town and Naren Basin, so the death of Larudoji and Geshuliwei was not worth mentioning for Fumeng Lingcha. He would not look at it directly when the entire Xiangxiong tribe and Naren tribe were destroyed. What shocked him was that Sun Xiurong was able to make these achievements at a young age.

For most Tang Dynasty border generals like Fumeng Lingcha, the surrounding tribes are nothing more than their walking merits and treasures.

But it is different for people like Sun Xiurong. Although the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to official positions, each type of official was extremely strict. Generally speaking, it was absolutely better to have nothing than to be abusive. It was rare for officials from the ninth rank or above who could "enter the rank" from the ninth rank or above to be "entered". Although it is easier to advance in the army, it is rare for Sun Xiurong to be in the sixth rank and the Sima position in the sixth rank and the sixth rank in the age of nearly two years.

Such people cannot be treated like ordinary fangs.

Early in the morning, Humeng Lingcha came to the university and rarely presided over the morning exercises of the Tang army in Shule Town.

After returning to the mansion, he soon received a message from his confidant Bi Sichen.

Humeng Lingcha was a little hesitant.

For a person like him with a high position and power, a mere Sun Xiurong is not worthy of his investment in dealing with it. Now he doesn't even take it seriously as the deputy envoy of the Yutian Town, who has already emerged and Gao Xianzhi, who is actually exercising power, let alone others?

Looking at the entire Anxi, the two major protectors in Beiting, the only ones that really made him afraid of were the Jiedushi Gai Jiayun, the military supervisor Li Fuguo, Bian Lingcheng, and the two Jiedushi judges. Since the chief of the Jiedushi administration was also led by high-ranking officials in China, Sima has been vacant, and Chief Judge Dugu Jun also made him a little cautious. Others have not yet reached the point where he can cheer up and deal with it.

"Does such people suppress or reuse them?"

When thinking about important things, Meng Lingcha was accustomed to locking a person in the study and contemplating.

Although he is a highly Chinese Dangxiang Qiang native, his habit of eating Hu cakes with milk tea in the morning is still retained - tea leaves have appeared at this time, but using them on milk is one of its main ways. There is no word "tea" yet, and "Tu" (boutique leaves) is its current name.

He frowned while thinking. After a while, a large bowl of hot bowls were soaked in the milk tea. After finishing the chopped cakes, Fu Meng Lingcha's thoughts also came to fruition.

He immediately summoned Wang Tao, an in-depth officer and judge.

For Fu Meng Lingcha, he only had two aspects to examine whether a person could be used. One was naturally loyal to him and was capable on this basis. As for the character and ethics, it was not particularly important for senior officials who were far away from the local area in the seven towns in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and to some extent, they were like a "local emperor" in a certain way.

This way of becoming an official is not only a practice by Hu Meng Lingcha, but also by almost all senior officials in charge of Anxi. Of course, being loyal to the Tang Dynasty is their bottom line, and everything is easy to say.

After Wang Tao came in, Meng Lingcha sat on the carpet, but he was thinking in his heart: "Wang Tao was born as a Jinshi and was able to condescend to me as a judge and an expert. Although he was a little out of place with most officials, he had a higher ability and knowledge after all. Even if he didn't work with me, he would make a name for himself sooner or later. Feng Changqing had outstanding abilities, but unfortunately his background was too low and he could achieve his full official position at the moment, unless he changed to a military position."

"Sun Lang is back"

Regarding Wang Tao, Fu Meng Lingcha made a straight attack.

"oh"

"He brought a team of cavalry"

"I saw it too, they were all furry children around fifteen years old."

"Oh? What do you think?"

"The guard commander, Sun Xiurong, this vocational department, has also carefully considered that he can gain a foothold in Hunu Town lies in killing people and establishing his authority. Otherwise, the old soldiers in Hunu Town can listen to him? But when they reach the territory of Hu people, it will not work. He is a teenager after all, and recruiting younger than him is easier to control. Furthermore, Sun Xiurong has a strong martial arts skills and has become famous after killing the fierce chief Shuliweiwei. The strong people have always been respected on the grassland, let alone those young men who have not grown all their hair? Combining the two, Sun Lang will succeed."

"Do you really think so?"

Wang Tao's face showed a look of surprise, "Guardian, this..."

Humeng Lingcha laughed loudly, "Wang Xuanyi, this town is joking, don't take it to heart. What you are saying is exactly what I want to say, but since this boy is within the scope of the town's control, it is not a good thing to promote too quickly. You must beat it well. By the way, all the autumn grains will be put into the warehouse in a few days?"

"Ten days at most"

"Okay, you go back and call Sun Xiurong in."

"yes"

Not long after, Sun Xiurong came in. Since he stepped into the gate of the garrison envoy, he met Yang Shouyu, Li Fei Shouyu, the housekeeper and others one after another. After leaving Yang Shouyu, he maintained the "innocent" humble smile of the young man. This was even more so after he arrived at the study of Hu Meng Lingcha, and he was obviously a little nervous.

Fu Meng Lingcha couldn't help but smile and said, "Sun Lang, when you came to me before, you looked quite energetic, but now you are a little nervous. Why is that?"

Sun Xiurong said: "Reported to the garrison commander, there was a soldier under his back, and one person was full, and the whole family was not hungry. There was not much to worry about. Naturally, his expression was relaxed, but now it is different. In any case, he had thousands of military forces under his command. The south side of the jurisdiction was Bahan, the Shi Kingdom on the west side, and the Tuqi Shi on the north side. With more than a thousand military forces, if you want to deal with it calmly, how can you keep it easy?"

"Hahaha," Fu Meng Lingcha smiled and said, "Sun Lang, is this your truth?"

"I am only nineteen years old. Although I have some achievements, they have all been achieved on the battlefield. It is the first time I really control one side, so I feel naturally..."

"Well, Sun Lang must not belittle himself. In history, the champion Hou led his army to fight against Mobei at the age of 18. He won the championship just now. Sun Lang must take the champion Hou as an example."

"The guards are joking, how can I compare with the champion Hou? His uncle is a general and has been favored by the emperor since he was a child, but he..."

"Okay", Fu Meng Lingcha put away the smile on his face, and waved his hand, and the person behind him opened the map hanging on the wall again.

"Sun Lang, I just received the news from Jiedu. According to the information provided by our army's secret spy in Saiye City, the thunder cavalry, Shifushen Tuhuoxian could no longer stay in the city. It has been two days since we left the city to fight our army to the death. With the plan of Gaijiedu, it is only a matter of time before it can be defeated or even captured the Jiedu."

"But the Tuqishi tribe occupied too much, from the west to the Aral Sea, from the Pearl River to the south to the Yili River Valley, from the east to the Yibo Sea, from the north to the Yibo Sea, and from the nomadic areas of their black surnames, most of their black surnames live in the area from Talas City to Suye City, and from the Huang surname, live in the Yili River Valley. The Huang surname is friendly with our country, so it's better not to mention it."

"The black tribe occupies most of the pastures, but most of the noble chiefs live in the city. At present, the fire-spiking immortal in Suoye City is already a turtle in the urn of the Gaijiedu. His only chance to win is to fight in the wild, but there are almost no opponents in the wild war against the Tang Dynasty."

"But another great hero Weitler is the eldest son of Ye Husulu, the former Tuqi Shi, the city of Talas, which he entrenched, is taller than the city of Saiye. It can station 20,000 troops and store 200,000 stones of grain. If the defense is severe, it can last for two years."

"So, we can surround Suye City, but not Talas City, because we are not strong enough, and there are many cavalrymen. There is also a cavalry camp outside the city. Even if you have sufficient military power, you can carry out siege battles, but when you attack the city, the cavalry camp outside the city will definitely come out to attack the siege troops."

"I have received the order of the Gage Du Jun, asking us to dispatch a large army to attack Talas within ten days after the autumn harvest!"

"Surprise attack?" Sun Xiurong's face showed a rare solemn expression. Although he had been thinking about it for a long time and had known that the Tang army would take the surprise attack, he still showed an extremely surprised expression after facing this incident.

This expression was exactly what Fu Meng Lingcha wanted to see.

"Haha, Sun Lang, don't worry, the Tang army has its own laws in the field to fight. Once the enemy fails to hit a blow, they will face a fatal blow. Now it is not worrying about being hit by the light cavalry during the march, but two problems."

"One is how the gods sneaked to the vicinity of Talas without knowing it"

"The second is to let Erweitler and Dumodu go out of the city to fight. However, if our army is powerful, they are afraid of the solemn military strength of the Tang Dynasty and will never go out of the city to fight. So they can only lure the enemy, and there should not be too many vanguard troops to lure the enemy to sneak in, and the military appearance should not be too solemn."

Now Sun Xiurong fully understood.

Although the Turks were inferior to the Tang Dynasty, compared with the Turkish cavalry that inherited the Western Turks, other nomadic tribes were not enough. It is estimated that after the two tribes of Geshu were unified, Geshu, the two tribes of the Southern Bow were immediately sent by the Tang Dynasty as a vassal state of Bakhanna to fight at the city of Talas.

Geshuliwei's pasture is located on the snow-capped mountains (Kyrgyz Mountains), and is only one mountain away from Talas City. Crossing the snow-capped mountains is the Talas River. Geshuliwei must have a secret passage to arrive there. After arriving, Erweitle and Dumodu in Talas City have mostly observed for a few days and increased their investigations around. After learning that there were no other reinforcements nearby, they immediately dispatched a large army to attack Geshuliwei.

But the problem is also here. No matter how strong Geshuliwei is, it cannot stop the cavalry attack that has an absolute advantage in numbers. Even if there are only 10,000 people in Talas City and 10,000 people outside the city, either side can send Geshuliwei to the point of no matter how hard he was defeated in history?

There is only one possible reason. After Gai Jiayun defeated the Tsukushi Immortal, he also sent a small number of troops to march westward, restraining the cavalry camp outside the city, and the only one who left the city was Erweitler!

But the question arises again, why didn’t the cavalry camp outside the city go out to attack Geshuliwei, and insisted on the main force in the city go out?

There are probably two reasons. One is that if the cavalry camp outside the city is destroyed, the city of Talas will become an isolated city, which is something Erweitler doesn't want to see.

Second, Erweitler, the eldest son of the monk, was pushed to power by Dumodu, and his prestige was not high among the tribes of the Hei family. The cavalry camp outside the city might not obey his orders, and in order to establish his authority, he had to go out by himself.

But Erweitler, who was in the city, had no reason to attack Geshuliwei's mere troops unless he had a last resort.

Thinking of this, Sun Xiurong said: "Can the guards know the arrangement of the thunder cavalry and the generals in the city of Thunderbolts and the situation of the generals?"

Fumlingsa said, "You have been in Naren for so long and don't know these news?"

Sun Xiurong smiled and said, "We are all busy training troops, and we don't care about it. Besides, with Naren's military strength, we are a little reluctant to protect ourselves. We have no energy to think about the outside world, so we didn't think about those things at all."

Fu Meng Lingcha nodded. He believed Sun Xiurong's words, "Well, according to the information provided by the Jiedu Mansion, Mohedagan's ranch was near Rehai, and Dumodu's military strength and Sulu's core tribe were in the Suye City basin. It was originally Mohedagan. Dumodu and the two joined forces to kill Sulu, and then they fought for power."

"Because Mohedagan killed Sulu, Dumodu supported the Tuhuoxian. If Mohedagan did not ask for help from our country, our country would be happy to see one less of them. But Mohedagan came to Kucha in person to ask for help from Gaijiedu, so our country would have to worry about it."

"But with Mohedagan's request for help, there was also a change within Tuqishi. Erweitler, who was originally incompatible, united with Tuhuoxian..."

Hearing this, Sun Xiurong felt a stern and said to himself: "So that's it. It seems that I remembered it wrong. The Tuhuo Immortal was originally supported by Dumodu, but this time Dumodu still ran away. According to historical records, after the Tang army defeated the Tuhuo Immortal and Erweitler, Mohedagan rose. In order to differentiate Mohedagan's power, the Tang Dynasty also appointed Dumodu as a high-ranking official. It seems that even in the Shattered Yechuan, Dumodu still ran away."

"Who supported Erweitler?"

"Oh? He is Sulu's eldest son, and he was originally with his eldest son Gu Chuo. Oh, that is, Tuhuo Immortal. After Dumodu supported Tuhuo Immortal, he became a Khan himself, and no one supported him."

"ah?!"
