Chapter 39: The Reason for Rebellion
Shuofang!
The governor of Shuofang was still Wang Junshi.
As the first general under Guo Zhiyun in the past, Guo Zhiyun chose Pei Min to inherit the Longyou Jiedushi, and Wang Junwei recommended him as the Shuofang Jiedushi.
Wang Junxian has worked in Shuofang for more than ten years. He is brave and good at riding and shooting, and has a great prestige in Shuofang.
However, time has not forgiven others, Wang Jun is in his early fifties this year.
In terms of age, it is indeed not very big, but when fighting against Tubo in the past, his lungs were severely damaged and the disease was rooted.
I didn't feel it yet, but as I got older, my breathing has become less and less smooth in recent years. It's okay if I don't exercise on weekdays. If I do some physical work, my breath will not keep up with it, and I feel like I'm angry and backward.
After the doctor's treatment, I learned that Wang Junxian can only rest now and have spent his old age. It is impossible to continue on the battlefield.
Today, Wang Junxian also felt the helplessness of his old boss Guo Zhiyun. As a frontier general, he was unable to wear a body, but because of his physical reasons, he had to withdraw from the front line. The feeling of unwillingness was really crazy.
"Director Wang Jie!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Wang Jun was shocked and smiled and said, "It's Sishun, come in quickly. Tell me what's going on around you? Is there something strange?"
The one who strode into the house was An Sishun, a Turkic tribe, a native of Anguo, the Western Regions. His father was Anbozhu, the general of the Right Yulin. He served in the Tang Dynasty at the age of sixteen. He has been without any regrets and has been highly valued by Wang Junwei.
An Sishun said: "What else can be done? All peace is nothing special except for some friction between the Uighurs and Li Xianzhong tribe. Whether it is the Uighurs or the Turkic tribe, we are respectful."
"Yes!" Wang Jun smiled bitterly and said, "I, the governor of Shuofang, can be said to be the most leisurely person in history. Duke Pei... No, now he should be changed to the prince. A battle broke the backbone of the Turks, and the Uighurs respected him like a god."
Today, the only two tribes of the Uighurs and Turks are in the north of the Tang Dynasty.
The Uighurs established a royal court on the northern grasslands and had unified the northern desert grasslands. The Turks were severely damaged by annihilation of 100,000 Pei Min.
Either he annexed the Uighurs or asked for surrender to the Tang Dynasty and became a vassal.
Apart from some grassland horse bandits and bandits in the north, there are no more soldiers.
After Wang Junxian succeeded as the Jiedushi, except for fighting several battles with the Turks in the past few years, most of them bullied local bandits and bandits in the next ten years.
This border is naturally a good thing for the country.
But for a side coach like Wang Junshi, it may not be possible.
Therefore, Wang Jun said this with a bit of self-mockery.
An Sishun was also feeling something. In the past, Pei Min promoted the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs. He forced the Uighur Khan to kill the Turkic envoys and the anti-Tang clan leader among the 100,000 Uighurs with one sword. This heroic deed worthy of writing has long been spread all over the world. In fact, there was also a Geshuhan, but under Pei Min's glory that was beyond the reach of the world, Geshuhan's presence was infinitely lowered, so no one cared about it.
Wang Jun sighed a few times and said, "I plan to resign from Your Majesty, report my illness and return to the court, and go to Chang'an to recuperate."
"Jingduan..." An Sishun was reluctant to leave.
Wang Jun waved his hand and said, "My body should have retreated a long time ago, but I have been reluctant to let it go. Now I figured it out that the world is your generation after all. I have stated that you are the governor of Shuofang. If there is no accident, the future of Shuofang will be left to you. Don't be careless. No matter how comfortable we are in the rear, as the commander of the border, you must be vigilant no matter what. Beware of danger in times of peace and danger, so that you can prevent it before it happens."
An Sishun nodded and obeyed the order: "I will remember the teachings of the Jiedu in the end."
Wang Junxian said again: "What do you think of Li Guangbi?"
An Sishun paused and said, "It's a talent, no, it can't be described as talent. The military ability he showed is terrible. In time, I dare not say that he can compare with Prince Pei, at least it will not be inferior to Wang Zhongsi and the governor of the king. It's just..." He wanted to speak but stopped.
Wang Junxian said: "A person with high talent must have a high mindset. He is not familiar with human nature and has a variety of military affairs, but he is particularly rigid in dealing with things. He is not obeying control and is unruly!"
An Sishun nodded.
An Sishun is also considered the second-rate figure in Shuofang Army. He is quite good at playing games and can also show off his achievements.
As a rising star, Li Guangbi should respect and cooperate with him, but this is not the case.
Li Guangbi didn't take his kindness seriously, and he flatly refused to invite him many times, and refused to obey the control.
This made An Sishun look a little bad. In fact, he still valued Li Guangbi very much.
Wang Jun sighed, "Don't say it's you, even me, I can't control him. It's just that I have the kindness of supporting him that he respects me. If it weren't for this relationship, we wouldn't be better..." He shook his head and said, "It's actually no wonder that he is. When I was in Longyou, my old boss always regarded me as the successor of Longyou to train me. Later, he chose Prince Pei. In addition to Prince Pei, there was another point that he explained to me later. He was afraid that I would be bullied. If I succeeded as the governor of Longyou at that time, the fate would inevitably be excluded."
"I have had contacts with Prince Pei and learned that Prince is not that kind of person, so I wonder why my old boss would say it. It was not until Li Guangbi became more and more outstanding that I understood this truth. Many things may not be intentional. Li Guangbi may not be really rebellious, but his personal ability level is too strong and we can't suppress him."
"If I had taken over as the governor of Longyou, Prince Pei would have been my subordinate, maybe he would not have made any trouble with me, but at that time, was it me who listened to him or him who listened to me? I was the governor of Longyou, how could I let my subordinates turn against each other? Contradictions and frictions will surely arise, and they may be able to bear it once or twice. Once more times, it is not the enemy or the enemy. Do you think if you really want to fight, is it me or Prince Pei win?"
An Sishun smiled embarrassedly and stopped talking.
Wang Junxian said, "So, my old boss is still very accurate. I guess he has the feeling that he can't suppress the prince. However, on the one hand, he is not feeling well, and on the other hand, he is old and looks more open than us. Li Guangbi is most likely to do the same..."
"I'll give you a trick. Don't you have a daughter who is not married yet? Li Guangbi is also unmarried. I'm sure if he can match it. If he marry your daughter, you will be his father-in-law. No matter how rebellious he is, he can still disrespect his father-in-law?"
An Sishun suddenly felt reasonable. His precious daughter wanted to be beautiful, but she was not as weak as the Central Plains women and skilled in martial arts. Li Guangbi was a member of the Khitan tribe, and there was no reason not to like it.
