When Yang Fan looked at the horses, several people from the Taifu Temple had already greeted them, presumably the pro-soldiers next to them had already pointed them out, and several people from the Taifu Temple directly greeted Yang Fan, and one of them was tall and thin and arched his hand and said: "General Yang, Bai Yiding of the Taifu Temple" A person next to him immediately stepped forward: "Niu Mu" The two of them said in unison: "I have seen General Yang" Seeing that the attitude of the two of them was extremely respectful, but Yang Fan was immune to this kind of respect, and after listening to the three words Bai Yiding, Yang Fan's heart moved, and asked: "Bai Yiding Bai Siqing is your person" Taifu Siqing's name is Bai Yishou, and the difference between this Bai Yiding is only one word, so Yang Fan has this question.
Bai Yiding replied respectfully: "It's my brother."
Yang Fan said: "I don't know what position I hold in Taifu Temple" Bai Yiding said: "I am in the Taifu Temple and I am a doctor of veterinary medicine."
He stretched out his hand and pointed to Niu Mu next to him, and said, "This is a cattle veterinarian" Niu Mu nodded humbly to Yang Fan.
Since the Tang Dynasty, Ma Zheng has been extremely important, and in addition to the administrative officials in charge of Ma Zheng, there are four veterinarians and six hundred veterinarians, but don't underestimate these veterinarians, because Ma Zheng is related to the strength of the Tang Dynasty's military, these veterinarians who are good at raising horses and doctors are very important in Taifu Temple, and senior veterinarians are hung with a title in Taifu Hospital to improve their status and wealth.
Yang Fan heard that these two people were veterinarians, and he noticed that there was something strange about them, even if Taifu Temple had the intention to embarrass him, they should be administrative officials, such as Shaoqing, Sicheng, the main bookkeeper, the record, etc., what is the reason for sending two veterinarians.
Without waiting for Yang Fan to ask, Bai Yiding took the initiative to explain: "General Yang, my brother promised to transfer all the war horses needed for the thousand horses within three days, but there are not enough horses in the racecourse in the suburbs of Beijing, so they need to be transferred from other horse farms nearby.
Unexpectedly, Anfeng Racecourse, which is closest to Luoyang, suddenly had a horse epidemic, and in order to prevent the spread of the disease, a horse did not dare to be transferred before the horse epidemic disappeared. ” Yang Fan's heart sank: "If what he said is true, it is reasonable to delay the delivery of horses, and it has nothing to do with deliberately making things difficult for thousands of horses, but is what he said true or false, it is really such a coincidence, I want to use horses here, and there is a horse plague in him."
Bai Yiding said: "My brother was afraid of provoking General Yang's misunderstanding, so he sent him and Veterinarian Lu to explain the situation to General Yang." ” Yang Fan asked: "There is not even a single healthy horse in the racecourse in the suburbs of Beijing, even if it can't be fully allocated, at least some emergency can be allocated."
Niu Mou said: "Don't hide it from General Yang, a few days ago, General Zuo Jinwu Weiwu just transferred all the healthy horses from Taifu Temple, saying that the Kyoto Tun army needs horses for training cavalry, and it is because the Beijing suburban horse farm really doesn't even have a strong horse now, general, please see, these we brought here, either old or young, and there are only such horses in the Beijing suburban horse farm at the moment."
Bai Yiding took out an official letter from his arms and handed it over, saying, "This is an urgent report of the horse plague in Anfeng Horse Farm, please General Yang take a look." ” Yang Fan didn't take it, and it was not easy for Taifu Temple to forge a copy, and this thing must be seamless.
Bai Yiding smiled bitterly: "It's really not that my Taifu Temple deliberately embarrassed the general, the two things were rushed together, and my brother was helpless."
My brother and Feng Chenling have always been friends, Feng Chenling once told my brother about General Yang, and he favored the general, and Feng Chenling also said that the saint attaches great importance to thousands of horses, general, you think, is to borrow a hundred courage from my Taifu Temple, and how dare you deliberately embarrass the general. ” Bai Yishou became friends with Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong Yang Fan glanced at him suddenly, vaguely, as if he felt that he had captured some key, and he asked: "Brother Ling and Feng Chenling are friends."
Bai Yiding replied: "Yes, my brother is also good at singing and dancing, and he has always been good friends with Zhang Fengchen.
During the banquet, there was a left leader Wei Lu Lang who longed for the thousand horses, and wanted to be transferred to the thousand horses to serve the emperor and serve the country, and wanted to ask Zhang Fengchen to say a word to the general.
Zhang Fengchen sternly refused, talking about the importance of a thousand horsemen, His Majesty's attention, during which he mentioned the general, saying that the general you have always been selfless and impartial, if Lu Lang is interested in joining the thousand horses, he can recommend himself to the general Mao Sui, if he is asked to come forward, he will be rejected by the general, so he is unwilling to say something for him. ” Yang Fan finally understood when he heard this, he didn't know why the ordnance supervisor was embarrassed with him, but the purpose of the Taifu Temple was finally clear after such a big circle.
It turned out that the backstage of Taifu Temple turned out to be Zhang Yizhi's brother, and Zhang Yizhi's brother wanted to insert his hand into the "Thousand Horses".
However, the formation of "Thousand Horses" attracted too much attention from all parties, and the Zhang brothers were unwilling to take risks with their status as Zhongtian, so they tactfully put pressure on him through the Taifu Temple.
That Lu Lang will already be a Lang general in the left leading guard, if he is transferred to the "Thousand Cavalry", there is absolutely no reason to be demoted and transferred, then he can only be given a Thousand Cavalry General, so that the Thousand Cavalry will be divided into five points in the world, and at least one of them will belong to the Zhang brothers.
Yang Fan's mind was like lightning, and after a moment of effort, he figured out the cause and effect, and a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Zhang Fengchen serves in front of the emperor, so it is inevitable to be cautious."
In fact, in the general's view, it is the duty of people and ministers to raise their relatives internally and not to avoid enemies externally, so why be so restrained.
Since this Lu Lang will serve as a Lang general in the left leading army guard, why can't he be a thousand cavalry generals under the command of this general, there should be a five Lang general under this general, and now there is still a vacancy, this is not a long-term solution, this general is the time to seek talent, if this Lu Lang will be willing to join my thousand cavalry, this general is welcome As soon as Bai Yiding heard this, a smile appeared on his thin face, and this time he smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Oh, this is really good news, I am also familiar with General Lu Lang, and I said that I know with him, hehe, I knew that the general was so thirsty, why did General Lu Lang go to Zhang Fengchen to touch the nails." ” Yang Fan smiled and said: "I don't know if this Lu Lang will be a big name, General Ben wants to meet him, if he is really willing to come to my Qianqi, General Ben will immediately lead the army to the left and transfer Lu Lang over."
Bai Yiding hurriedly said: "General Lu Lang's name is Mao Feng, and he also asked General Yang to remember, and on the way back, he sent someone to bring him a letter, telling him to come to visit the general immediately." ” Yang Fan bowed his head and said: "It's just this horse" Bai Yiding immediately said: "These old horses and young horses are not in the supply army, but they are just brought to corroborate what they say.
The time for the general's training and drill was delayed, and my brother was also very uneasy, and my brother sent him to the next to give an explanation to the general, and sent someone to Anyi Horse Farm to recruit high-grade healthy horses from there, but he still needed to ask General Yang for a few days. ” Yang Fan said: "The horse plague is a natural disaster, and it is not the fault of the Taifu Temple, even if Yang is in a hurry to train the new army, he can't let the Taifu Temple create something out of nothing, and conjure a thousand horses for me. ” The atmosphere at the scene quickly became harmonious, and Bai Yiding promised Yang Fan that at most, he would definitely recruit a thousand good horses from the Western Regions and deliver them to a thousand horses, and then he ordered people to drive away the old and young horses that were used as evidence.
In fact, the old team of thousands of horses are all horses, and the Taifu Temple gives another thousand horses, then there are 100 more horses, it is said that this is the compensation made by the Taifu Temple in order to delay the delivery of horses, and the military horses always have when they are sick and disabled, and they are ready to replace them in time.
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, Yang Fan and sent Bai Yiding and Niu Mu away kindly, and Xu Liang snorted coldly: "They are obviously coercing each other with horses, and they are asking the general for a position, if the general does not agree, I am afraid that the thousands of horses in this Anyi horse farm will also suffer from horse plague as expected." ” Yang Fan smiled and said, "I know, but I suddenly understood a truth." ” Xu Liang asked, "What's the truth?"
Yang Fan said: "Since the current saint ascended the throne, the court battles again and again, no matter what the reason, are all for the emperor's throne in the final analysis.
Some people want it to be surnamed Li, and some people want it to be surnamed Wu.
So, whether it is the emperor or the princes, princes, ministers, and powerful ministers below, they are fighting endlessly.
Groups of people are in prison, groups of people are in different places, and now it can be said that it is the most critical moment to decide the ownership of the country, so many people have died, so much blood has been shed, all of them are for today, those people will really sit back and watch Qianqi, a force that does not belong to them at all, thrive because of the emperor's jealousy."
Yang Fan turned his head, glanced at Xu Liang deeply, and said, "This is just the beginning.
Even if they don't do it now, when the emperor no longer sets his sights on Qianqi after a while, they will definitely do everything possible to intervene in it, and the difficulties we encounter at that time are probably a hundred times more arduous than a batch of rusted swords and guns, and a batch of old and sick war horses, what should we do then?"
Xu Liang was silent.
Yang Fan sighed and said leisurely: "I could have not accepted Zhang Yizhi's request, because if the method I thought of could be successfully implemented, then I would be able to solve the problem of armor weapons and this batch of military horses." ” Xu Liang asked, "Then why do you still agree to let Zhang Yizhi's people in?"
Yang Fan said: "Because this is our shield, our original idea was too naïve, thinking that no party would interfere and build a force that completely belongs to us behind closed doors, hehe, how easy it is to say."
Now Zhang Yizhi's intention to intervene is a big opportunity for us, the Zhang brothers intervene, which is the easiest for the emperor to accept, and at the same time, if we accept Zhang Yizhi, we can use Zhang Yizhi as our strongest shield to resist the erosion of any other party."
Yang Fan patted Xu Liang on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "It's better to see a person surnamed Lu than for all forces to intervene one after another.
At the end of the month, we sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets To be continued
