When Ashinaguti took that step, the two Tang soldiers beside him immediately became wary. They pulled out half of their swords and leaned towards Ashinaguti. They are two of the eight strongest people who were selected from the Shuofang Army scout camp after a ring battle. One is Wang Ruolan, and the other is Cui Li. He is a descendant of the Boling Cui family, but he does not want to rely on He used the nepotism in his family to find an official position. The reason is very simple. He is the same kind of hot-blooded Tang Dynasty man as Ye Qingcheng. All day long, he was indoctrinated by his friends like "Why don't men bring Wu hooks and collect the border officials from Guanshan and Fifty States?" The poem made him finally leave one day without saying goodbye and secretly ran to Shuofang to join the army.
Although they said they were leaving without saying goodbye, the power of the Cui family was unimaginable to ordinary people. It didn't take them long to find Cui Li's whereabouts and know his ambitions. In desperation, they had no choice but to ask Shuofang Jie at the time. The envoy Wei Guangcheng greeted Cui Li and asked him to take a good look at Cui Li. And Wei Guangcheng is also a smart person. He knows that if you want to protect someone, the best way is to prevent him from being promoted. So, even though Cui Li worked hard to train himself and even squeezed into the scout camp, he arrived In the end, he was just a small team leader, which made him quite unconvinced.
However, because of this, Cui Licai avoided all kinds of dangerous actions without attracting attention, and no one knew that he was a child of the Cui family.
But this was limited to when Wei Guangcheng was still in office. Because of Li Longji's suspicion, the term of any governor in the Tang Dynasty was basically two years. When the time limit expired, those who performed poorly would be transferred internally. , I was assigned a vacant position in the palace. Those who perform better will be transferred, that is, the garrison of the Jiedushi will be changed. You are the Jiedushi of Shuofang this year, and you may not be the Jiedushi of Longyou or Hexi Jiedushi in two years.
It is not difficult to imagine that the reason for this is that Li Longji did not trust the military governors under him and was afraid that they would support their own troops and rebel. This setting of his will completely dispel his worries, because if this is done, even the most talented Jiedushi will be unable to do anything. The two-year time limit is actually only enough for ordinary people to stabilize in a strange land. It's just a heel, let alone developing its own power and recruiting a private army. If you really want to rebel, your subordinates will not follow you, because the two-year time limit is not enough to completely close the distance between the officers and soldiers, let alone rebel. This is against justice, let alone People in the Tang Dynasty had a centripetal spirit, and it was impossible for anyone to respond. Although Li Longji's approach made these Jiedu envoys very unhappy, it was very effective. However, this is only relatively speaking. Recently, someone has appeared who broke this rule, and that is An Lushan. He cleverly colluded with the Xi Qi Department. When they joined in, he exaggerated his own Political achievements, when they were strong and independent, he could only subdue them. Using this as an excuse, he asked Li Longji to withdraw his transfer order many times, so that he could develop his own Hu people's power with peace of mind. Yes, it is the power of the Hu people. He has already begun to replace the Han soldiers and Han generals in his station with Hu soldiers and Hu generals, because he knows well that the centripetal force of these guys will not respond to his rebellion. If he wants to raise an army, he can only rely on these profit-seeking barbarians, even though he himself is also such a barbarian.
Unlike An Lushan, this was Wang Zhongsi's first time serving as a governor in Shuofang, and he received such a heavy responsibility just after he took office. How could he control the children of high-ranking officials and nobles under his command? So Cui Li was forgotten like this, but he liked this feeling very much. No one was paying attention to him at any time. For fear that something would happen to him, he didn't even dare to send him out on missions, even though he was quite skilled. Not bad, but useless. It was not until Li Zheng served as the captain of the scout camp that he began to be sent out to perform tasks. It was not that no one told Li Zheng about his background of the Boling Cui family, but Li Zheng regarded him as regardless of his identity on the battlefield. The words of noble and humble were blocked. What he wanted was this kind of fair and strict boss, so that he could truly stand out. After seeing Ye Qingcheng's skills and deeds, Cui Li, who was not on the same team as Ye Qingcheng and had a lot of words for him, soon became Ye Qingcheng's loyal subordinate like other brothers. This time the ring battle was even more fierce. Using all his strength, he followed Ye Qingcheng all the way to Bathymi's tent. He felt that he was not following the wrong person, so he really wanted to express himself. He knew that Wang Ruanlan was originally Ye Qingcheng's deployment, and he also performed well during the battle of Sanggan River. Therefore, in addition to Huanchenyu and Baiquan, Ye Qingcheng was also close to and trusting Wang Ruanlan. This made him a little dissatisfied, so before entering During this time in Mobei, he had been actively expressing himself, and finally attracted Ye Qingcheng's attention. It could be said that if he wanted to evaluate the best performer among these eight people, it would naturally be Cui Li. However, with Ye Qingcheng's ability to infer, he could certainly see that Wang Rao was deliberately trying to make Cui Li perform. When they burned down Xicang, they sacrificed their brothers from the fifth team, and they all performed well. Although The canonization and rewards haven't been announced yet, but promotion should be a certainty, so Wang Rao wanted to give Cui Li the opportunity to perform. He, Ye Qingcheng, could see through it, but he wouldn't say it because there was nothing wrong with it. Although the other six people were not in his original team, they were all determined to follow him. Being able to stand out from so many brothers in the scout camp showed that they were not cowards. Even though Cui Li had stolen the limelight now, But they will also not be convinced. Only with competition can there be motivation. This is a truth that has existed since ancient times.
With Ashinaguti's skills, he naturally noticed the behavior of these two people. He snorted coldly, retracted the foot he stepped out and said, "Why are you two so nervous? Ashina Shi died. It's a good thing for any of us. How could I do anything? Not to mention, if I really want to do something, can you two stop me?"
His words reminded Cui Li and Wang Rao of the strength gap between them. Yes, in the previous confrontation, except for Ye Qingcheng and the other three, the other members of the mission were at most as close as those black men from Ashina Kudi. Yi's subordinates were able to hit him 64 times, but he himself would never be able to defeat him. This was not their personal experience, but the intuition of a strong person. chapter;
