Chapter 5 Let the country
The lord and the mistress will soon return to Anxi. With the documents and post horses coming out from Anxi Military Mansion, with the endless stream of caravans and the mouths of the peddlers and pawns, this news is like the wind on the grassland Gobi, blowing from Lingzhou to the Western Regions without any cover.
"You are the elites selected among the tens of thousands of robes of the Cavalry Army. This time, when you enter the Lord of the Guard, you must not fall behind in the attack on the thieves. You should pay more attention to keeping your army neat. Dunhuang teaches the Rong army to train the garrison, and never let others laugh at it. The face of the Cavalry Army!" Xin Gu, commander of the Cavalry Army, casually reminded Feng Bo. Feng Bo is the chief lieutenant of the Cavalry Army. This time, he led 500 cavalry to defend Dunhuang. He followed Chen De's general order. Each army selected a battalion of elite troops and formed the Ya Army, the Ya Army, the Ya Army, the name of the Longya Army.
Commanders from various armies went to Dunhuang to meet Chen De and asked for various matters. In the past year, nearly 10,000 cavalry troops had accumulated. Xin Gu passed by Chen De in the military letter. According to Chen De's rule that only 5,000 soldiers were set up, a new army was established. The Western Regions had newly conquered the leaders of the four towns of Anxi, and Chen Zaili, the general of Yizhou, also wanted to pay homage to Chen De, the governor of Anxi. Luo Youtong led the Jinfan army of the Hunting Army and Lin Hong to suppress the Tubo forces in Qingtang City, and wanted to give Chen De advice to remove Qingtang City in one fell swoop and drive the Tubo forces back to the plateau.
In recent years, the army has expanded its territory, and the army commanders are all in charge, and there are few opportunities to meet on weekdays. Take this opportunity to invite everyone to meet. Even Yu Furengui, the commander of the Baiyu Army who led a brigade to deal with the five states of Dingnan, led 500 cavalry to Dunhuang because of escorting Chen De. This trip was a rare time when the generals of Anxi were gathered together. In secret, there was no news from where the wind came from. Now that Anxi's foundation is consolidated, the soldiers are rising up, Chen De also returns to Hexi. Taking advantage of everyone in Dunhuang, he asked the lord to wear a yellow robe. This merit of support is also divided, from the army to the soldiers, and everyone is a founding hero.
This wind was released from unknown places, but it was pretended to be mysterious. The officers above the military captains of Anxi all knew about this in a mysterious way. Many enthusiasts took advantage of the drunken and nonsense to let the commander of the army convey his loyalty to the lord. This was the eve of the creation of the world, but no definite news came from the lord Chen De. This made the commander of the army who rushed to Dunhuang from all over the place feel a little nervous. A major change is about to begin. Those who plan for the country should not see the power of the dragon. Even if they are a little soft, one will make mistakes or hesitate, and the end will be a death, a tribe will be destroyed, and the destruction will be devastated for thousands of years.
"Chen De, do you really want to be the emperor?" Looking at the towering city gate in Dunhuang, Xin Gu, commander of the Cavalry Army, thought to himself. After ordering the soldiers to go straight to the city and build a military camp for the Longya Army. Xin Gu is no longer a low-ranking Ameng in Wu. He has been in a high position for a long time and has been on horseback and on horseback. Although he has subordinates to help hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, he can conquer and drive hundreds of thousands of tribes in the north of the border. Just in terms of the tribes and regions under his control, the Cavalry Army has already had several powerful forces on the grassland. Even if the commander Xin Gu himself had a vague attitude towards Chen De's name as emperor
Exclusion, and even intentionally avoided the support of the matter, many cavalry captains also intentionally or unintentionally imply that they would make great contributions. As the leading forces in Anxi army, how could they fail? Chen De ordered the army to select elite troops to form the Dragon Ya personal army. The military name contained the word dragon in it, which was also regarded by the captains as a signal that the lord was about to put on the yellow robe. They all recommended the most elite and reliable warriors under their command to the Dragon Ya Army. There were even many lofty ten men who gave up their official positions and were willing to be a basic soldier in the Dragon Ya Army and become a "long-follower."
Unlike the generals and the lieutenant who are full of thoughts, for the return of the lord Chen De, whether it is the knowledgeable rural school teachers, the warriors in the battlefield who fight for life, or the peddlers who work hard all day long, the soldiers and people of the Anxi prefectures have only a long-lost determination and down-to-earth attitude, and the joy that comes with it. The strong and united Anxi army brings the expected long-lasting peace, the honorable status and generous treatment of the soldiers, and the people of the people who regard it as valuable as life, all of them are tied to the lord. For millions of scholars and people in the Anxi army, everyone is in their hearts.
It was vaguely felt that the lord Chen De would not return for a day, or even become the true lord of all people for a day, and the life that was greatly improved at present was like a fortress built on a beach, extremely uneasy. God knew whether the generals of the six armies would suddenly attack and kill each other, God knew whether the aristocratic families would invade the land, God knew whether the brutal barbarians would make a comeback, and God knew whether the east-west trade routes would be cut off again. Fortunately, with the news of Chen De's return to Anxi, these hazes that faintly enveloped the hearts of the soldiers and people of Anxi could finally clear the clouds and fog.
The people of Dunhuang are now experiencing a trend of striking the lord and the mistress Mrs. Huang. Everyone is enthusiastically calculating the day when the lord returns. The vendors plan to occupy a good seat along the street that day. Just selling some sugar and tea soup is better than doing a month's business.
It seemed that he was intentionally avoiding the noisy scene where the viewers were blocked. After Chen De arrived in Dunhuang in early August, he placed three armies of traya, flower hat and iron bone in the military camp outside the city. He met Xin Gu and Xiao Jiu and other generals in the camp. He inspected the Longya Army battalions that had been stationed in the camp. Until it was dark, he sent Huang Wen back to the Jieduan's Mansion to rest under the escort of more than a hundred Longya Army guards. That night, countless Dunhuang people claimed that they had heard the sound of horse hooves obtained by the heroes under the lord's command.
"Where is the Longxi County Public Resident?" Chen De had no time to remove his wife, so he asked Zhang Zhongyao. "General Xiao was worried that the identity of Longxi County Public Resident should not be disclosed for the time being. He liked the quiet nature, so he set up a mansion in the east of the city, which was close to the temple and Buddhist cave on the mountain in the southeast." "Oh? It was not too late, so I was not busy going back to the mansion. Let me go to see Longxi County Public Resident first." Chen De nodded and pondered for a moment. This arrangement of the mansion was in line with Li Yu's temperament. Xiao Jiu was also considerate, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to have no intention.
Zhang Zhongyao was slightly stunned and then arranged for the guards to go to the east of the city. The Longya Army was Chen De's personal army, and he himself served as the commander of the Longya Army. However, from the way back to the west of Youzhou, Zhang Zhongyao has always coordinated the troops to return to the west to arrange Chen De's daily life. Now that the Longya Army was first established, Chen De was not very familiar with the lieutenant of the camps of each battalion. Before appointing others, Zhongyao still played the role of the lieutenant of the Ya military camp.
The house chosen by Xiao Jiu was originally quite clean, and he even tried to search for various treasures from the painters of the previous generation. The magnificent place was not inferior to that of Jiangnan. Li Yu was watching a Buddha statue in the meditation room. Suddenly, he heard that the Anxi Jiedushi Chen De came to visit, so he sighed, threw the image aside, and went out to meet. Chen De was dressed in military uniform, followed by his confidant general Zhang Zhongyao, and bowed and said, "After leaving Jiangnan, the king lived in Bianliang. He was forced by Zhao Jiong. He had been in trouble and frost. Chen De couldn't rescue him. He apologized to the king!" Li Yu looked up at him and bowed, waved his hand, and sighed, "Forget it." Facing Chen De, he really didn't know where to start. Calling him "Chen Qing" seemed a bit sarcastic. He called him "General Chen" also felt bitter, and he felt that everything was bleak and did not want to talk to him more.
Seeing that Li Yu's face was bleak and his attitude was also cold, Chen De was stunned. He laughed dryly and said, "The climate in the northern border is extremely hot and cold, and the wind and sand are strong. There are even barbarians in Dunhuang, which are mixed places such as peddlers and barbarians. Is the king still used to living?" After a while, Li Yu replied, "It's still good." Then he stopped talking again.
Chen De couldn't, and after saying a few words, he looked at Li Yu, and finally said in a deep voice: "De relied on his soldiers to use his life to manage Anxi. Now all the people in the Western Regions are unruly. The king of the country is a noble family in the Tang Dynasty. De wants to support the king of the country as emperor, expand his territory, restore the country for thousands of miles, and recreate the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. I wonder if the king of the country agrees?"
Even though Li Yu was ashamed, he was shocked when he heard this. He looked up at Chen De. He was on guard outside the door and accidentally heard the words of the two people, Zhang Zhongyao's face darkened, his eyebrows trembled slightly, he turned around and stared at the figure of Li Yu that appeared on the window edge paper, and his hand unconsciously placed on the horizontal hilt behind him, fearing that he would say the word "good". The three of them held their breath. For a moment, the fragrance of Buddhism was burning silently, and these wisps of Zen fragrance that were calming in the heart could not stop the heartbeat and heartbeat inside and outside.
Chen De thought about this for a long time, but it was the most calm among the three. Li Yu's mood seemed to be thrown from the bottom of the valley to the peak of the waves, and then rushing and undulating, almost unable to think about it, and just murmured: "How can this be called emperor and established a country?" Yu said again, "I don't want my descendants to be born in the imperial family again." After a long time, I calmed down my heart. Looking at Chen De, I seemed to see his true face clearly, and said in a deep voice: "General Chen, General Chen,"
Is this a discussion not to be spent by me, and to give in to the prime minister of the country with different surnames, which has never been heard of by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Since the previous dynasty, the army has been accustomed to supporting the generals to ascend the throne. Even if General Gao Yi, how could your subordinates agree? Furthermore, I inherited the foundation of my ancestors, but the country's destiny in the Song Dynasty. The general raised up in vain. Now he has a thousand miles of land and tens of thousands of powerful soldiers. If we are in charge of governing the country, we will make a judgment with the general. How could we hear that the wise give in to the fool?”
Outside the window, Zhang Zhongyao heard Li Yu's advice and refused to accept it. He put down half of his heart, walked away quietly, and called out soldiers, and instructed: "Go quickly to invite General Xiao Jiu of the Lianrui Army and General Li Si of the Jiarong Army to come, and he said that there is a big matter of 100,000 urgent here!" Seeing the soldiers galloping away, he walked back to the window of the quiet room to find out the situation.
But Chen De said in a deep voice: "As long as the king is willing, virtue has its own arrangements, and it can convince the army. Before ascending the throne, the king only needs to make an oath with the generals. If the generals have not agreed to pass, the emperor shall not arbitrarily hold the incumbent or resigned generals and shall not infringe on their private property. If it is to conquer foreign countries, the majority of the military lieutenants can declare war. If new taxes are to be added, the civil guards must be discussed and agreed with the civil guards before they can be implemented. In addition, the emperor is arrogant and only represents the country and enjoys the respect of the subjects. The lieutenants elect the Duke of the National Guards to take charge of military and political affairs. The Duke of the National Guards appoints a prime minister among the civil guards.
In the Prime Minister's Civil Affairs, whenever there is a major national event, the lord only needs to add jade seals to the memorials of the Duke of the People and the Prime Minister. In this way, the generals, lieutenants and the civil guards who represent the people can all be relieved of their worries, and they support the lords ascend the throne to the throne." Chen De first explained his grand idea, and then carefully explained to Li Yu the various systems he considered, and finally said: "The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and all people cannot be without a lord for a day. The Zhao family secretly occupied the throne, which is not a real dragon. Although the previous dynasty was destroyed by the hands of traitors, there were many scholars and people in the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions and Guanzhong. If the lord ascends the throne, there will be less wars and killings in these two places in the future, which is also a great deed."
Li Yu was fashionable and a little moved, but the more he heard Chen De's remark, the more his face turned pale. Until Chen De finished speaking, he looked at Chen De's expectant face and asked coldly: "I don't know which one is the position of the Duke of the State and the Prime Minister?" Chen De didn't expect to have it, nor was he modest, and said: "Chen is not talented, good at commanding military operations, and is lazy in managing the people. With the support of the soldiers, it's good to just do this Duke of the State and protecting the country. Among the generals, Xiao Jiu, Li Si and Zhang Zhongyao were meticulous and knew the law, and they would be the Prime Minister in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu stood up and said in a deep voice: "Thank you General Chen for your kindness. The Tang Dynasty has its own Taoist throne. The general wants to be Cao Mengde, but Chongguang cannot be Emperor Xian of Han." This was a resounding voice. After saying that, he looked at Chen De with a serious expression and said that this was supported by all the people in Anxi. He was still talking about it. The Anxi Jiedushi looked embarrassed on his face.
