    (.) In Longyou in February, the wind is still biting and chilling.  Located in the upper reaches of the Suirong Gorge, Suirong City seems to have been blown away by the long winter wind and is huddled quietly in the upper reaches of the Huangshui River.  In such a season, even the cold-resistant Tubo people have stopped. They hid in Fuqi City to the west of Qinghai Lake, drinking sour horse milk wine and waiting for the birth of a new batch of dragon colts on Longju Island.  The hundreds of miles around Qinghai Lake is really a good place with rich water and grass. Since Tubo annexed Tuyuhun, not only did we get a vast pasture, but we also got Longju Island, which is rich in green horses and Longju horses. It can be said to be a harvest.  huge.  Since Tubo seized the territory of Tuyu Hunchu, it extended its outpost right under the nose of the Tang army stationed in Longyou.  If the two countries had not reached an alliance under Chiling a few years ago, and Tubo was willing to regard Datang as its superior state and pay tribute every year, then the upper reaches of the Huangshui River would have become the most intense place for soldiers from both sides to fight.  Nowadays, Tubo is gathering troops in the Congling area, preparing to attack Bolu, a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, there is a temporary peaceful situation in the Chiling area, and the borders drawn by the two peoples in previous years are limited.  Trading near the border is fine.  On this day, the originally peaceful Suirong City suddenly heard a wailing call for troops. For a moment, the soldiers living in the city hurriedly gathered towards the main campus.  After the three-way drum sounded, Zhang Shiping, the envoy of Suirong City, stood on the high commanding platform and shouted to the nearly two thousand officers and soldiers in the square: "Brothers, today is the last time that I, Zhang, will serve in Suirong."  All the soldiers were gathered in the city. Two hours later, the new Suirong envoy, General Zhou, came into the city to hand over to me. Everyone took advantage of the arrival of the new envoy to clean the barracks and wipe down the soldiers, armor and weapons. Don't fall into my trap.  The reputation of the Rongjun!" After Zhang Shiping finished speaking, a middle-level officer in the audience asked loudly: "May I ask General Zhang, what is the background of this new Zhoucheng envoy? General, where will you go after hearing this?  , suddenly showed a happy smile, waved his big hand towards the soldiers, and then said: "Of course I want to be promoted! After the handover is completed today, I will go to the Heyuan Army to serve as deputy commander. As for the new arrivals  Zhou Chengshi, in fact, everyone should have heard of it. He overthrew Xiao Jiong's old bastard Chang'an Yilang in order to collect military funds for our Shanzhou armies! Hahaha" It seems that Zhang Shiping  He was in a good mood indeed, and Jingran cursed the former Minister of Household Affairs, Xiao Jiong, for being an old bastard in front of the soldiers.  But I feel happy to have changed my mind.  This week, Erlang of the Zhou family wanted to come to Suirong City to endure hardships, but he did not do that kind of thing to grab someone else's job. Instead, he tried to find a way to promote his predecessor, and then logically made an empty position for himself. Who could join him like this?  dislike?  When all the soldiers in the audience heard that the city envoy they wanted was Zhou Chengye, they all looked happy and seemed to be looking forward to the "God of Wealth" coming to Suirong City as soon as possible.  In the second half of last year, Tuesday brought hundreds of carts to Shanzhou. As a result, the officers and soldiers of each army received a gift of condolence. Before the Chinese New Year, Tuesday also won a bonus for the officers and soldiers of Shanzhou to improve their living conditions and treatment.  Allocating funds, the officers and soldiers of the Shanzhou army now remembered the Erlang of the Zhou family who sincerely served everyone.  Especially when the gossip spread in Chang'an City that the Zhou family and his son had the Minister of Household Affairs arrested because of military expenditures, everyone admired this Tuesday even more.  Now that the soldiers heard that the super "second generation officials" and "second generation rich" in Chang'an City were coming to Suirong City to serve, they were naturally very happy.  Not to mention anything else, with a boss who spends a lot of money and is extremely rich, at least everyone's military salary will not be misappropriated and deducted, not to mention that this Tuesday seems to be a good habit of giving out money everywhere, as long as  If we can please him, won't everyone have a good time?  "You bastards, stop talking and hurry back to your respective camps to get busy. In two hours, everyone will follow me out of the city to welcome the arrival of the new city envoy!" Zhang Shiping stood on the stage and gave the last order, and then the soldiers in the square  The crash dispersed, and in an instant he had a clear view.  So only Zhang Shiping and two lieutenants were left on the general stage.  "These bastards are really moving away so fast! They are so disrespectful to me!" Zhang Shiping complained with some annoyance.  "General Zhang, it's too unethical for you to just leave like this and leave us two in Suirong City?" Lieutenant General Lu Dayong said a little depressed.  "That kid who was still a hairless boy on Tuesday came to Suirong City. How can he convince the brothers?" Lieutenant General Jia Erlong complained.  Zhang Shiping turned around and patted the two of them hardThe deputy's shoulder, and then said with emotion: "I'm not a brother, I don't want to help you! You two also know that if you want to be promoted quickly in this army now, you must either rely on actual military exploits or rely on someone from above.  Enter. It has been almost ten years since the war between Tang Dynasty and Tibet was carried out on the front line of Chiling. Naturally, we had no military exploits this time. If I hadn¡¯t asked the Ministry of War for this hard job that Tuesday, I wouldn¡¯t have stayed in Suirong City.  I still don¡¯t know when I will be promoted to a higher position!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t feel unhappy, thinking that coming here on Tuesday has robbed you of your opportunity. I think that coming to Suirong City on Tuesday is your real opportunity.  What a great opportunity! Think about it, with such a big background on Tuesday, how many years can he stay in Suirong City? As long as you help him well, I will help you two when the sky is clear.  I even envy you two!" Lu Dayong and Jia Erlong felt that it made sense after hearing their old boss's advice, so they stopped worrying and returned to the camp to urge their subordinates to hurry up and prepare.  At noon, a well-dressed team, led by the general Zhang Shiping, drove out of Suirong City in high spirits, drove ten miles east, and then listened and waited quietly on both sides of the official road.  The arrival of the new city envoy.  On a mountain ridge ten miles away from here, Zhang Xingzheng, dressed in smart attire, held a telescope and carefully observed the troops coming out of Suirong City.  "Second brother, report to Erlang immediately, saying that eight hundred troops were dispatched in Suirong City, and now they have stopped ten miles away!" Zhang Xiu on the side nodded and ran down the mountain like a tiger down the mountain.  "General, eight hundred troops have been dispatched in Suirong City. They are now stationed ten miles away from the city. They seem to be waiting for the arrival of the general!" "Yes, I understand!" "The messenger, please notify the rear team immediately to speed up.  Traveling speed, everyone must appear in Suirong City in an hour!" Since Zhou Chengye left Chang'an City, his military qualities that had been hidden for two lifetimes have completely exploded. Along the way, the Zhou family guards felt that he seemed to have completely changed.  Got an entry.  Shi Qiu Mingjie, the governor of Shanzhou who accompanied Zhou Chengye to Suirong City, looked at Zhang Xiu who had left, and said with some hesitation: "Erlang, before leaving, Governor Guo repeatedly told Zaixia that he would get married from Erlang no matter what.  The two young soldiers, Yi and Chengren, were brought back. Do you want to discuss it and let me take at least one of them back? Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to explain to Governor Guo." Zhou Chengye looked back in a good mood.  Qiu Changshi looked bitter, then shook his head resolutely and said: "Old Qiu, everything else is easy to discuss, but Chengren and Chengyi are the book boys of my Zhou family. We agreed at the beginning that they would only stay temporarily.  With Governor Guo, now that I have come to Shanzhou, they will naturally come back to me. Besides, it seems that Governor Guo didn't like them at the beginning? " Qiu Mingjie knew that this was Tuesday's attempt to flatter himself.  , had to smile bitterly and said: "Erlang, you are teasing me again. Didn't Governor Guo not realize the power of these two little book boys in your family? To tell you the truth, now Governor Guo always carries these two with him when he goes out.  This little guy is so easy to use, I really can¡¯t bear to let him go.¡± Zhou Chengye smiled proudly, and then said, ¡°Hey, I don¡¯t want to take them back this time no matter what you say.  Well, in order not to make things difficult for you, after I train some smarter staff officers in the Suirong Army, I will definitely send a few to Governor Guo. What do you think? " What can Lao Qiu say?  The book boy was the first person in the Tang Dynasty who "couldn't afford to offend" the Zhou family. He couldn't steal it openly, so he had no choice but to nod with a grimace.  Half an hour later, Tuesday¡¯s team arrived in front of Zhang Shiping¡¯s welcoming team.  Tuesday turned over and dismounted, saluted Zhang Shiping, who was already standing on the ground, and said loudly: "Zhou Chengzhi was ordered by the Ministry of War to take over the post of General Zhang as the envoy of Suirong City. This is the official appointment document of the Ministry of War!" After saying this, Tuesday  A dark-faced young man walked out from beside him and presented an official document from the court to Zhang Shiping.  Zhang Shiping solemnly checked the appointment documents of the Ministry of War, then clasped his fists and said in return: "Please follow me into the city to hand over, General Zhou!" The two groups of horses then joined together and marched into Suirong City in a mighty manner.  An hour later, gongs and drums were beating at the top of Suirong City, and the soldiers left behind were beating gongs and drums with faces full of joy to welcome the arrival of the new city envoy.  On Tuesday, he whispered to Zhang Shiping next to him: "Old Zhang, this is a bit too much. How can I let my brother go out of the city to greet me in the cold and make a loud noise at the top of the city!" Zhang Shiping haha ??"  Smirking, he shook his head and said, "But, but! General Zhou deserves so much respect and support from his brothers!"Just because you dare to fight for military pay for everyone, you are a true man and a good man in the eyes of nearly 100,000 brothers in Shanzhou!  " A moment later, the newly arrived "real man" and "good man" of the Tang Dynasty stood on the general stage. On his left stood Shi Qiu Mingjie, the governor of Shanzhou, and on his right stood Zhang Shiping, deputy commander of the Heyuan Army. "  Brothers, Zhou is very grateful to everyone for your warm welcome today!  In order to express your gratitude, please accept some small benefits brought by Zhou!  "As soon as Zhou Chengye finished speaking, he saw a long motorcade entering the campus. "Every soldier in Suirong City will be given a leather jacket, a pair of leather boots, a high-quality dagger, and a high-quality Cheng'en special gift.  A jar!  " "Wow!  "When the soldiers in the audience heard this, they immediately exploded. Qiu Changshi, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, still couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw this scene. He muttered in his heart: "What the hell.  Money!  There are more than two thousand altars for special offerings, which is almost one hundred thousand guan!  " Zhang Shiping swallowed his saliva, and then Xiaoshen asked Zhou Chengye: "Brother, do you have my share?  " Zhou Chengye laughed and replied loudly: "Enough!  ¡± It is said that when a new leader comes, there will be a show of force. I really like this tone this Tuesday, but the show of force he pulled off is really so damn cool!</dd>
