Chapter 405

It was nearly night, except for the direction of Jiguan mountain, there were still a few animal roars, and the world fell into a dark silence. But in the main hall of the commander-in-chief's mansion in longpanshan, there were still candles flashing. It was not the sound of looking through the paper files and the sound of slight conversation coming from the room.

The weather in winter in southern Xinjiang is cold and humid. In addition, there is abundant Danshui not far away, and the Shicheng mountain village is located at the top of Longpan mountain. Therefore, at the turn of the day and the night, people will feel that the temperature is much colder than during the day. So at this time, the door of the main hall was closed, and three charcoal stoves were placed in the main hall. In order to prevent carbon gas, the high-quality animal gold charcoal was burned inside.

In the middle of the three charcoal stoves, there is a soft and smooth fur cloak. Xiaobai is lying there quietly. Except for the occasional shaking of his ears, which proves that he is not fully asleep, the rest is no different from a sleeping civet cat.

At this time, there were three people sitting in the main hall. Lu que, the first one, was looking at the military newspapers coming from all over southern Xinjiang, while Gu Qingcheng on the left and Zhuge Yan on the right were helping him deal with the myriad military affairs. Zhuge Yan had been walking in the outer Pavilion for more than half a year, and he was very familiar with these things with his intelligence. Gu Qingcheng was originally the top group of students in Fengming Academy. In the past half a year, she personally led the army to fight everywhere. She even knew more about this trivial military affairs than Lu Que and Zhuge Yan.

However, Zhuge Yan seemed to be absent-minded at this time. From time to time, he looked up at Xiaobai, the spirit beast lying in the middle of three braziers. In any case, he could not believe that this little thing, just like a civet cat, was a spirit beast that left a lot of ink and color in all kinds of literature and historical materials of the human race. However, Zhuge Yan's mind was quite good, and he reluctantly accepted the fact after his initial surprise.

But when he looked at the fiery red cloak on which the beast was crawling, the corners of his mouth twitched again. Da Qian established the country for more than 250 years, and the etiquette system has been extremely mature. There are detailed regulations for all kinds of goods and duties, which can not be overstepped without emperor Jiaen.

Now, like ordinary animal skin mattress, the red Blazer on the blue stone floor is made from the skin of an adult Wenyan beast through many processes. Wenyan beast generally lives in the place where geothermal gas accumulates. Because of its nature of fire, the fur cloak made of Wenyan animal skin is the best product to protect against wind and cold in winter.

However, because the number of warm burning beast is rare, and the living environment is extremely bad for human beings, its fur is also extremely valuable, and the whole skin that can be made into a cloak like this is hard to find. And even if someone has such a perfect cloak without any arrow holes or knife marks, they dare not make it into clothes to wear.

According to the law of Daqian, only one grade or one grade military position is qualified to wear a cloak made of warm and burning animal skin. In today's Daqian military, only five people are qualified to wear such a cloak. They are the military Prime Minister of Zhongyang King Yu Yuanpu, the military Prime Minister of the Marshal's government leading the northern Xinjiang governor Lu Chun, and the military Prime Minister of the government Gu Huairen, As well as Bai Yi, the former commander-in-chief of Northern Xinjiang, and Lu que, the current commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang.

The cloak, which was the dream of countless famous generals and generals, was spread on the ground as a resting place for a small beast. Even though the little beast was a god beast, Zhuge Yan still felt that his heart was a little unnatural. As a child, he lived in Daqian. Even though he was out of character and uninhibited, such a fast-paced rule had already taken root in his heart. When he was young, he thought that he would one day be able to stand on the top of a military general and have such a cloak to represent his status and power.

At this time, Lu que, after reading a biography of the flying eagle, put the silk full of words on the military affairs dossier beside him, and looked at Xiaobai who seemed to be asleep. He could not help but smile. Now the situation is very similar to the situation in the cave of buguishan Lake Island a few years ago, and Xiaobai was sleeping on the animal skin beside the fire, Such a scene made him feel extremely peaceful.

However, when he saw the three charcoal stoves placed around Xiaobai's body and smelled the smell of animal gold floating from the charcoal stoves, his brow was slightly wrinkled, and he didn't know what he thought. His eyes were dazed by the aroma of the charcoal stoves.

"Lu que, what's the matter with you? Is there anything urgent Gu Qingcheng just finished annotating an official document and moved his wrist slightly. Just as he was going to see the next one, he found Lu Que in a daze. He could not help asking strangely. Now the war in zhennanguan has stopped for the time being. Except for some minor things, there should be nothing that can make Lu que show such an expression.

And Zhuge Yan put down his brush and looked at Lu que, waiting for his reply.

Lu que could feel Gu Qingcheng's and Zhuge Yan's strange eyes, but his eyes did not move. He still looked at the charcoal stove and said, "sister Qingcheng, Zhuge, both of you have lived in the capital since childhood, and both of you were born in the mansion of a prominent state. You should know what is burning in the charcoal stove."

"Isn't this animal gold charcoal?" Zhuge Yan was a little strange and puzzled, and said, "the charcoal of animal gold is burning with a strange fragrance and burning for a long time. Every winter, the inner court department will send some to the mansion of the important minister Xun GUI. It may be rare among the people, but it is not so rare for us. You are now a commander-in-chief of Yipin Southern Xinjiang and the son of Wei. It's not too good to light a few heats of such charcoal. And even if it's over, no one will say anything about it, and there's nothing to worry about. "

"I'm not worried about overstepping." Lu que shook his head and said, "as you just said, animal gold charcoal is very rare among the people. Only the official residence can use it. So where is the charcoal burning in the furnace now?"

"Before we led the Changqing army here, our logistics had been transferred from the southern warehouse of Qingquan city. Liu Xiang must have done it himself." Zhuge Yan thought about it and said.

"Sister Qingcheng, what do you think?" Lu que Wen Yan nodded and looked at Gu Qingcheng.

"Although animal gold charcoal is nothing among the three of us, it's also a luxury. Now it's wartime, everything should be simplified as soon as possible. It's reasonable to say that such things should not appear here at all. If Liu Xiang did it on purpose, he can notice this in the list of thousands of military funds, which is really worth pondering. " Gu Qingcheng naturally understood Lu Que's meaning and could not help showing his thinking expression.

"Lu que, what do you mean?" Zhuge Yan's eyes flashed and asked Lu que.

"It is said that Liu Xiang is meticulous and meticulous. No matter how complicated things are, they will be dealt with in an orderly way when they are handed over to him. I don't believe in such a person with no details, if he didn't do it specially. But the more Liu Xiang is like this, the more worried I am. " He took out a map of the counties in the south of Daqian and spread it on the table. He looked at the location of Qingquan city on the map and said nothing.

"Do you think Liu Xiang is trying to please you, or is there some purpose behind it?" Zhuge Yan picked his eyebrows, shook his head and continued, "it's unnecessary to worry about this. Let's not say that you are the son of Princess Chang and Duke Wei. Even your current status is enough to use this beast gold charcoal. Liu Xiang should not be so unwise. He wants to use this as a reference. It's obviously impossible to succeed. Why did he do that? "

"Lu que doesn't mean that, and he's not doubting Liu Xiang." Without waiting for Lu Qian to speak, Gu Qingcheng said, "the so-called person who has no details must be cautious in nature. At present, the nanjingcang in Qingquan City reserves the military resources of all the legions in southern Xinjiang. Although there is no material transportation between us and the king of Zhongyang, we can persist in more than three months, but the 400000 troops in zhennanguan still rely on the material transportation of nanjingcang. At this time, almost all the aristocratic families of the twelve side counties in southern Xinjiang gathered in Qingquan city. As the first person in Qingquan City, he must have the power to deal with it decisively so as to frighten the situation. "

Lu que felt a slight movement in his heart when he heard that Gu Qingcheng was the one who knew him best. What he thought and thought happened to coincide with him. What Gu Qingcheng said was exactly what he was most worried about.

Hearing this, Zhuge Yan frowned and said, "didn't your majesty grant Liu Xiang the right to make a decision? What's more, Lu que also left the three battalions of Yan Zheng and Changqing army there, plus several Phoenix guards and the upcoming Wu'an Hou Bai Yi, who has the courage to make a second attempt there? "

"The problem is that Marquis Wu'an has not yet arrived in Qingquan city to take over military power." Lu que raised his head, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he rubbed his eyebrows wearily and said, "Liu Xiang came from a family. Even though his majesty and I believe in his conduct, he will inevitably have some worries when he really faces a family. I'm afraid that when he makes a decision, he still has a lot of worries. "

"Your consideration is not unreasonable." Gu Qingcheng nodded. "As far as I know, Liu Xiang's official voice has been very good all the way from county magistrate to county government, and then to the Ministry Pavilion. Moreover, there are few political enemies in the court when he ascends the position of sub prime minister. People who can do this are either good at dancing with long sleeves, or deep in mind, or know how to protect themselves, or ~ is a real good old man. If it's the last one, it's really worrying. "

Hearing Gu Qingcheng's words, Zhuge Yan also recalled the life of Prime Minister Liu Buyi, nodded and said, "in this case, fly eagle to spread a message to Yanzheng. There are 36000 people in the third world war camp of Changqing army. As long as brother Yan is sensitive and careful enough, these people are enough to frighten the situation and delay the time until the arrival of Wu'an marquis."

"It can only be so, Zhuge. You will write a passage in the name of dushuifu in southern Xinjiang. In the name of wartime, you will temporarily add a seal saying that you are the Deputy military commander of the inspection School of dushuifu in southern Xinjiang, and order the left and right honghuwei who has arrived at this time to be transferred to his command for the time being." Lu que thought for a while and made a decision.

"The Deputy military division of the commander-in-chief's office in southern Xinjiang?" At the same time, Gu Qingcheng and Zhuge Yan exclaimed that the four generals of Xinjiang were all from the first rank. Generally, the second rank generals and military advisers were appointed as the second rank generals. Although the second rank generals were not more powerful than the first three, their positions were also between the third rank and the second rank. Yan Zheng was just a junior official in the East Palace, even if he was only in a hurry, So the speed of promotion is also very eye-catching.

You know, in the Hongxi Dynasty, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng were the two people who moved the most quickly. But both of them had solid military achievements. How can we convince people that they could not make any contribution at this time? What's more, the leaders of the left and right Honghu guards were all second-class military positions. In case of any disagreement, it's not a bad thing.

"Sister Qingcheng and Zhuge, I heard that Wu Meng, commander of left Honghu Wei, once served as Deputy General of Gu Xiang, while Ma Yuanjue, commander of right Honghu Wei, once served as deputy commander of Zhuge. He has a lot to do with your two families. I hope you can write a private letter to them to elaborate on this matter and let them cooperate as much as possible."

"No problem." Zhuge Yan nodded. Ma Yuanjue was his father's deputy general. It can be said that without Zhuge family, Ma Yuanjue might not be able to be the leader of Yiwei. After all, there were too many generals in the previous generation. Since the relationship between the two families is almost clear, he has nothing to avoid.

"Although Uncle Wu is bold and bold in appearance, he is a man of reason. I will write this letter. He does not care about power and position. I think he will cooperate." Gu Qingcheng also nodded.

Lu que finally let go when he heard that Yan Zheng had 100000 troops in his hands if he could get the cooperation of the left and right Honghu guards and the Third Battalion of Changqing. With such forces, he could suppress all the unruly men in Qingquan city. As for whether Yan Zheng could command so many troops, Lu Que never worried, If the best of the last generation is the three heroes of the poor family, ye Zhiqiu is the same as Ji Zhiheng in the younger generation. Their talent is not weaker than him, just different.

"By the way, Lu que." Seeing that Lu que had made a decision, Gu Qingcheng and Zhuge Yan didn't say much. When Gu Qingcheng saw that Lu que had picked up another volume to review, he suddenly said.

"Sister Qingcheng, what's the matter?" Lu que raised his just lowered head again and asked in a puzzled way.

"This is the flying eagle biography of the king of Heyang. Now the Jing Navy is still under the control of the commander-in-chief's office in southern Xinjiang, so the king of Heyang asks you how to deal with the former Tianxing navy fleet. Is it a direct acquisition or a separate army after the breakup and reorganization to maintain the stability of the southern Xinjiang sea area? " Gu Qingcheng said, stood up and spread a roll of silk on the table in front of Lu que.
