"What did that guy do?" In Bi Sichen's military tent, Zheng Dequan spoke before Bi Sichen, but Bi Sichen smiled and said nothing. "It's still the same as before. During the day, I wandered around Qiuci, talking to the traders, and stayed at the inn at night. There was nothing strange." "Have you had any contact with people in the army?" "He sent that king Yang'er came into contact with people in the army, but he was ignored by the general. " "Hahahaha" Hearing the news, Zheng Dequan laughed with an arrogant expression. Bi Sichen looked slightly hesitant, but still didn't say anything. Zheng Dequan turned his face and said to Bi Sichen: "General Bi, I have all done this for you. Ye Chang has never been in Anxi. If he comes here to give orders, isn't it a big joke that we have no soldiers and no soldiers? I Let¡¯s see how he ends up. When brother¡¯s victory comes, General Bi¡¯s contribution will not be missing.¡± The words were originally good words, but Zheng Dequan¡¯s expression and attitude made people unhappy no matter what. Bi Sichen forced a smile, stood up and said, "I'm going to pay a visit to Deputy Protector Cheng." "Keep an eye on Cheng Qianli and don't let Cheng Qianli get into trouble," Zheng Dequan said. His commanding tone made Bi Sichen stop and look back at him, but Zheng Dequan didn't know it. Seeing Cheng Qianli leaving, Zheng Dequan thought that nothing happened, so he went out with others. Qiuci is now the place where the Anxi Protectorate is stationed. Zheng Dequan can be said to be unscrupulous here, and everyone avoids him wherever he goes. Ye Chang was in the restaurant. Someone pointed at Zheng Dequan from a distance and said: "This person is Zheng Dequan. He was originally the son of Ambassador Gao's wet nurse. Ambassador Gao called him as his younger brother and relied on him as his confidant. He originally went with Ambassador Gao. Shi Guo, but on the day Ye Zhongcheng came, he and Bi Sichen stayed again, presumably to deal with Ye Zhongcheng. "Ye Chang smiled and said: "I see I think this behavior is really domineering, Brother Li said. "Yes, he is indeed an opportunity to take advantage of." "I wonder how the ambassador wants to deal with him?" Brother Li asked. He was indeed curious. His brother respected the young man in front of him very much, and the young man in front of him was indeed famous. His current high official position and power were all obtained by his great achievements in the border areas. This brother Li, whose name is Wan, is Li Bai's clan brother. He is interested in border affairs and joined the army in Anxi. He is now a civil servant in the army. Before that, Ye Chang knew about the situation in Anxi, and Li Bai had introduced his clan brother to him. Ye Chang came to Anxi and was unfamiliar with the place, so he thought of this person. Fortunately, he did not go out with the army, so he was secretly found by Ye Chang. On the surface, Wang Yanger went to contact the army officers, but in fact, Ye Chang summoned Li Wan to get together through local merchants. Hearing Li Wan ask this, Ye Changshen smiled and said: "Brother Li, what do you think?" He first came to Anxi and was short of people. Li Wan has Li Bai's relationship. If he can really get him to help, it would be a lot. An available person. "In my opinion, the overall situation is the most important thing. The ambassador will wait until the military information from the front is received before making a decision." Li Wan said seriously. Ye Chang nodded, his evaluation of Li Wan higher in his heart. He didn't do what he wanted, and was eager to provoke himself into a fight with Gao Xianzhi, which proved that this person still had a sense of the overall situation, was also very cautious, and was the kind of person who could do whatever he wanted. "I have been out of camp for a long time, and now I have to return to camp to avoid" Li Wan was about to leave, when Ye Chang suddenly waved his hand: "There's no rush, please sit back and watch the fun." Li Wan was shocked: What's there to see here? Looking along Ye Chang's gaze, he saw two camels approaching slowly towards Zheng Dequan and his party. Seeing the arrogance of Zheng Dequan and others, Hu Shang, who was holding the camel, hurriedly got out of the way, but in his haste, a cloth bag fell off the camel. The bag's pocket was not securely tied, and a string of beads rolled out of it. This is a bead chain made of glass beads. Under the sunlight, it is crystal clear and reflects the golden brilliance. When Zheng Dequan saw it, his eyes suddenly widened. Glassware is not uncommon in the Western Regions, and some glassware even came here from distant Europe. But the craftsmanship that can produce such a string of beads is unique. Zheng Dequan had stayed in Anxi for a long time and had some knowledge. He immediately saw the origin of this string of beads: "Glass beads from the Aolai country." Glass beads from the Aolai country were in Chang'an and Luoyang. A string like this Beads can be sold for hundreds of dollars at least. If they are taken to remote and remote places where such things have never been seen, their value will be immeasurable. "Ah!" When the businessman saw the bag falling and the beads rolling out, he hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up. When he was picking up things, he loosened the reins of the camel. For some reason, the camel took a few steps forward and almost hit Zheng Dequan's horse. Zheng Dequan whipped it and hit it on the linen bag on the camel. There was a crisp "dang" sound, and he winked at his subordinates. Someone from his subordinates suddenly stepped forward and pushed the businessman away: "How dare you hit our general, are you looking for death?" The passers-by and traders around him all looked at the Hu businessman with sympathy. ?Gao Xianzhi was greedy and cruel, and Zheng Dequan was his minions. Although they had not openly done anything about directly killing people and stealing goods, they did not rarely do things like plundering and plundering. When Hu Shang's treasure is exposed, he will inevitably lose money and eliminate disaster. The Hu merchant staggered back, and the man who came up took advantage of the heat and went to Luo Qian. He cut open the bag with a knife and said, "Looking at you, you must be a man-eating spy. Otherwise, there would be no merchants at this time Let me Check, what you brought is" "There is a wooden box in the bag. As he spoke, he opened the lock on the wooden box, lifted the lid and took a look, and then the words got stuck in his throat and turned into a gulp. Voice. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt dazzled when he saw this set of exquisite glass wine sets. "It is indeed a cannibal spy. Take him back to the camp and interrogate him in detail." Zheng Dequan from behind also saw this, his face changed, and then he ordered. Knowing that Ye Chang was in Qiuci City, he did not dare to do some things in the street, but if this Hu businessman was brought back to the military camp, would he be asked to make any confession? Hu Shang's expression changed drastically and he knelt down: "I am not a spy, I am a good citizen. I brought this goods from Chang'an to you. I have the customs clearance documents along the way as proof General" "Bring the goods in from Chang'an." "Let's go" Zheng Dequan said sternly. Suddenly, someone came forward to silence Hu Shang, tie him up and take him away. At this moment, Ye Chang raised his voice from upstairs: "Wait a minute." Zheng Dequan was furious when he heard this voice. He had already planned that a set of such glass wine sets might be worth thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Judging from the luggage of this Hu merchant, he must have carried more than one set of glassware. Give one set to Gao Xianzhi as a gift, and the rest can be named Zheng. This can be said to be a huge fortune, and anyone who tries to stop him will fall out. Therefore, he turned around and yelled: "Where did you come from?" Then he saw Ye Chang looking calm in the restaurant. "Ye Chang?" His heart trembled, and he woke up a little from the confusion that he had just seen the money. He did not think at this time that this Hu Chamber of Commerce was a trap set by Ye Chang. The purpose was to accuse him, or in other words, to fish for law enforcement. Therefore, he just cursed his bad luck secretly, and then said with a smile on his face: "It turns out to be Ye Zhongcheng. Ye Zhongcheng is not enjoying the blessings in Chang'an. Why is it more valuable to come to our sand pile?" "Let that Hu Shang say it." "No, this is not the case. He is a Da Shi spy. If he is allowed to talk nonsense and spread the news about our military situation in Anxi Town, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the army." "How can you decide whether he is a spy or not?" "Zhong Cheng has never stayed in Anxi. , so it¡¯s hard to tell whether he is a spy or not. The general has been in Anxi for many years. You can tell whether he is a spy at a glance. " "What did you say?" "I said you are talking nonsense. Yunnan has seen tens of thousands of warriors on the frontier, but this is the first time that you talk nonsense like this. "Ye Chang deliberately angered the other party and spoke rudely. Zheng Dequan was furious after hearing this, thinking of Feng Changqing's words when he said goodbye. He ordered, and then suppressed his anger: Now that Bi Sichen is not around, no one can speak in front of Ye Chang. This is not the time for a head-on confrontation. "This is a matter for me in Anxi Town. Ambassador Gao has ordered that it is better for the outsiders to stay away from it." He said coldly, and then turned to the Hu Shang: "Take it away." Under such circumstances, he was still reluctant to part with it. You can imagine that if you don't give up your greed for two camels' property, you will lose sight and control on weekdays. Ye Chang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gestured to the left and right. Immediately, Shanzhi jumped down from the building, dragged Zheng Dequan straight off his horse, and knocked him to the ground with one punch. Although Zheng Dequan had followers around him and was somewhat brave, he never expected that Ye Chang would dare to fall out with only a few people. He was in confusion and couldn't help shouting: "Little thief, how dare you" "Little thief?" Ye Chang laughed: "Read it." A person next to Ye Chang stepped forward and opened a roll of paper in his hand: " Granted Ye Chang the general control of the Anxi Rear Army. His subordinates are: Guqi Zhongjun, Marshal Xiong Zhuan, also a military minister. Yin Qingguanglu, Zuo Wuwei, General Jiannan Dao, Deputy Ambassador Zhijiedu. In fact, Ye Chang, the founder of Qingyuan County, was a poor student in economics and had the ability to master military strategies. He defeated the captives and conquered Liaodong. He suppressed the barbarians for a long time and settled in Yunnan. In Yunlin City, it is advisable to garrison the Xiliu Camp in order to serve as Gaolan's spirit. We will recruit 20,000 Longyou Dao troops and cavalry, and 10,000 Shuofang Jian'er crossbowmen. Ye Chang, the deputy envoy of Longyou Dadu regiment training, will serve as the rear of the Anxi Army. The Commander-in-Chief of the Army and the Chief Protector of Anxi remain as before, and the orders will be implemented according to the regulations. "This is the appointment document issued by the Menxia Province. When it was announced, Zheng Dequan's expression changed. Although Ye Chang did not make a specific transfer of power with Gao Xianzhi, as the general manager of the rear army and the governor of Anxi, the Qiuci City happened to be under Ye Chang's jurisdiction. "If you are disrespectful to your superior, hit me first." Ye Chang ordered. How can Shanzhi be polite? He raised his fist and hit her hard.Go. He had followed Ye Chang for so long, so he naturally knew what Ye Chang was thinking, so he hit Zheng Dequan on the mouth, knocking back all Zheng Dequan's curses, begging for mercy or crying, and seven or eight of his big bloody teeth fell out. , the whole mouth was swollen to the point of disfigurement. "As the general manager of the Anxi rear army, and Ambassador Gao is not here, I will be responsible for enforcing the military discipline of the rear army. This guy has no officials, so he is just a punishment If there are any illegal things among the soldiers and civilians here, they want to report them. "You can tell me," Ye Chang said again in the restaurant. Li Wan¡¯s complexion also changed, she shrank back and complained secretly. He just advised Ye Chang to be prudent, but he never thought that Ye Chang didn't take it to heart at all. This opening was clearly intended to punish Zheng Dequan to death. However, Zheng Dequan has been in Anxi for a long time, and both the army and the people know that he is Gao Xianzhi's confidant. Who dares to testify? Ye Chang's move was of no use except to frighten the enemy. He winked desperately at Ye Chang from the side, but Ye Chang still smiled and just ignored him. Li Wan was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone crying outside: "Can the manager really punish this guy?" "Yes" "This guy led someone to take away my village half a month ago" The man shouted, and he Things were said. Unlike the Central Plains people who think the Western Region is desolate, the land north of the Tianshan Mountains under Anxi's rule is not all Gobi desert, but there are many places suitable for farming and grazing. The generals in the army often seize the farms of local people, and even high-ranking officials seize the fields of minor officials. Before Gao Xianzhi became the Jiedushi envoy, Bi Sichen relied on his own power to seize Gao Xianzhi's farm in the east of the city with an annual output of thousands of stones of grain. The man raised his head, and others spoke one after another, explaining how they were bullied by Zheng Dequan. Some even accused Zheng Dequan of seeking money and killing people. Each of these crimes became more serious, and Ye Chang's expression gradually became serious. "How dare you be so lawless? I don't know who gave you such courage." Ye Chang snorted coldly: "Since I am here, I have to uphold military law to calm the people. Come here, bring me a stick and give me seventy blows." At this time, Shanzhi had stopped. Zheng Dequan, who was staring at each other angrily on the ground, suddenly raised his head and said sternly: "Little thief, you dare to kill me? "Seventy sticks are meant to kill him." "Yang'er, it seems these sergeants are unwilling to do it. Go and execute him." "Ye Chang ordered Wang Yang'er. Wang Yang'er laughed twice and took the door bolt of the restaurant without a stick. The restaurant owner dared to stop him. He could only watch Wang Yang'er swinging the stick. It hit Zheng Dequan on the buttocks, and the sound of bone cracking was heard. "Stop, stop." Wang Yang'er was about to hit him again, when suddenly a cry came from the distance, and then more than ten riders came galloping towards him. , but it was Bi Sichen. Just then, Zheng Dequan saw that the situation was not good, so he winked and asked someone to find Bi Sichen. When Bi Sichen saw Zheng Dequan being pinned to the ground and screaming, his face changed drastically, he reined in his horse and looked towards the restaurant. Ye Chang was still standing tall, leaning against the window and looking at him calmly. "Ye Zhongcheng, please give me some face. Zheng Dequan has been punished for being disrespectful to me" "Disrespect to me is nothing." What. Ye Chang said: "It is a serious crime to be cruel to the people and corrupt to the soldiers." " "This Zhongcheng, he is Ambassador Gao's brother-in-law. Zhongcheng must save some face for Ambassador Gao" "There is one thing, Anxi is too far away from Chang'an, and it has not been reported yet. When I was in Chang'an, Wang Zhun, the son of the Imperial Censor and the Shaoqing of the Guard, also brutalized the people and broke my legs in the street. Ye Chang sneered: "I can hit the son of the imperial censor doctor without fail. How much more Kaiyuan Tongbao is worth the ambassador Gao's face?" "
