646. The Handover Storm (Part 1)
Jing Wen and Yuriko came to the commander's office of the governor of the Western Army in Lanzhou, and then showed his succession imperial edict and military talismans, and then asked to see Changsun Shunde, the governor of the Western Army in the process of leaving. The soldiers there quickly went to inform, but the soldiers came out soon.
"Our Jieshou invites you in!" said the soldier.
Jing Wen and Yuriko entered the tent of the governor of the Western Army, preparing to hand over to Changsun Shunde. As long as the handover is completed, they can officially take over the Western Army, so that they can become the temporary military governor of the Western Army. As for Changsun Shunde, they naturally have to go back to Chang'an and wait for the emperor's disposal. Jing Wen knew that Changsun Shunde would be skinned even if he did not die, because the situation has become corrupt today, which is inseparable from his idea of not seeking merit but not seeking nothing. The reason why the Tubo people dared to be so arrogant was that it had a lot to do with him being timid and not daring to send troops in time. Therefore, Jing Wen knew that Changsun Shunde would be idle, and a general with such no courage would be impossible to be a good general. Maybe he was a good general before, but now it is no longer possible.
"Hahahaha, I really didn't expect that the famous Jing Wen was here. I was so glorious!" said Changsun Shunde.
Then, Changsun Shunde invited Jing Wen to the banquet as a welcome to Jing Wen. Looking at the dishes on the table, Jing Wen was obviously a little unhappy.
"General Changsun, do you still have the heart to eat these? Don't you know that the people in Liangzhou ahead are bleeding, and you still have the leisure to eat these? Are you eating tightly in front and tightly in the back?" Jing Wen said unhappily.
Who knows what will happen in the occupied area ahead? However, Changsun Shunde actually ate here with big fish and meat, which made Jing Wen very unhappy. Although Jing Wen is not a professional general, he also knows that doing this is very bad. Moreover, all this is done by Changsun Shunde. You actually have the face to enjoy it here. Is there any reason for this? Therefore, it is already very rare for Jing Wen to be able to resist scolding. If he had the **silk personality in his previous life, he would have been scolding a lot.
"General Changsun, let's hand over it quickly!" Jing Wen said.
"Don't worry, don't worry! Let's eat first. General Jing Wen probably came here from Chang'an. He slept in the open for half a month, but he probably didn't eat well! So, let's eat first!" Changsun Shunde said.
When Jing Wen saw Changsun Shunde, he was so patient. It was not his home court yet, and the handover had not been held yet, so Changsun Shunde was still the governor of the Western Army. However, Jing Wen had decided that as long as the handover was completed, he would definitely be driven away and he would not be allowed to stay for a day. This guy was too annoying and unacceptable. This guy had no sense of responsibility at all. He had become an old official. How could such a person lead a good soldier? Even Jing Wen knew very well.
The two sat down, and Yuriko nodded. It means that this dish can be eaten, and there is no problem. Yuriko has used a special method to check it out and then told Jingwen that it can be eaten after confirming that there is no poison. This is not Jingwen is cautious, but that he must be careful. Jingwen and Changsun Wuji now have an irreconcilable conflict. Changsun Wuji is Changsun Shunde, so who knows whether Changsun Wuji will let Changsun Shunde assassinate him? Therefore, you should be careful and must be careful to make sure there is no problem.
Jing Wen tasted a few bites next, and then he finished it. Changsun Shunde didn't seem to care about Jing Wen, but instead ate here with relish, obviously not in a hurry. Jing Wen was very unhappy, but there was no way. This was at most a moral issue, not a discipline issue. Can Jing Wen say anything else? Don't say that Jing Wen has not handed over to him yet. Anyway, this guy is actually rushing here, and Jing Wen has no good idea.
After finally finishing the meal, Jing Wen immediately said, "General Changsun, we can hand over it!"
Changsun Shunde looked out the window and said, "It's too late now. General Jingwen will talk about it tomorrow! It's too late, and it's not convenient for me to leave after the handover! You can't let me sleep on the streets after the handover, right? So, let's wait for tomorrow!"
"Have you finished the tour?" Jing Wen finally couldn't help asking in an angry tone.
"General Jing Wen, why are you anxious? The situation is like this now. Is there any problem with delaying for a few more days? Anyway, the Tubo people cannot attack in the city of Lanzhou. Moreover, the Tubo people only occupied Liangzhou and did not intend to continue attacking Liangzhou. They just occupied Liangzhou Guazhou." Changsun Shunde said.
Jing Wen continued: "Do you know? If the Silk Road is opened one day later, will our Tang Dynasty lose much? So many merchants are stuck in Lanzhou and cannot continue to do business. Do you know, how much losses will this bring to my Tang Dynasty?"
Jing Wen was already questioning, and obviously his anger was very obvious. The Silk Road was already about the road of trade, and Jing Wen could also know that the first caravan he sent a year ago should have almost come back. But this group of Tubo people came to cause trouble at this time. What if his caravan was robbed by the Tubo people at that time? Therefore, Jing Wen was also very anxious. Every day, merchants gathered in Lanzhou, then gathered in various ways to become caravans, and then set off to do business in the Western Regions. This can bring a lot of taxes and a lot of benefits to the Tang Dynasty. There are also cultural exchanges between the East and the West, and the income is even more unmeasurable. However, Changsun Shunde was so careless, which made Jing Wen very annoyed.
"These lowly merchants will lose their losses. What are the losses? As for the financial losses, what can we get back by adding taxes! As long as one cent of tax is added nationwide, can we get it back?" Changsun Shunde said.
"Boom!"
