Last year, the imperial court intended to transfer Sima Zhen to return to Fengjing to serve as the left servant of the Ministry of War, but was rejected by Sima Zhen, in his original words, what a high-ranking official Houlu, for a dying old man, it is all a passing cloud, Sima Zhen stayed in Wuzhou for two years, far away from the Central Plains, Li Xun trusted him, the entire governor's mansion, are very respectful to him, this atmosphere, Sima Zhen very enjoyed, although the official position is much lower than the former deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu, Jinyang stayed, but here to do things freely, There are not so many constraints, where is it like when he was in Jinyang before, he was controlled by people everywhere and was at the mercy of others, if he really went to Fengjing to serve as the left waiter of the military department, in terms of Sima Xin's character, he would feel very uncomfortable, Sima Zhen felt that he was already old, and he could live for a few years, it was better to stay here in Wuzhou, and do practical things for the country for a few years, which was far more interesting than pension in a prosperous place such as Beijing.

It is also Sima Zhen's personality and character that has won the respect and admiration of Li Xun, Fan Zhongyun and other entire governors, and everyone.

Zhao Wei shook his head and said: "Senior Sima, he is not old-hearted, he is inspecting the deployment situation on the riverbank, let us come back first and report the details to you." ”

Fan Zhongyun smiled slightly, did not speak, Sima Zhen was born in the army, his qualifications are much older than Li Zhong, even Wang Renzi, who is in charge of Longyou, saw him, he had to give three points, and Yang Daosi, Liu Wei and other figures of the same era, after Li Xun left, the political situation in the land of Longyou West Road Sanzhou became very delicate, although Fan Zhongyun is the actual helmsman, but he himself has been dismissed, and there is no official position, to put it bluntly, he is a white people, Shan Qiu and others are willing to obey his orders, one is to admire Fan Zhongyun's ability and wisdom, In is to give Li Xun face, and as the governor of Longyou Dao, Wang Renzi, there are not so many scruples, many things, after Li Xun left, the coordination of all aspects of the two sides, from time to time problems, whenever this time, it is Sima Zhen who personally comes forward to find Wang Renzi, and the matter can be properly solved.

But this is not a long-term solution.

"Mr. Fan, Yu Yanhui didn't come."

Zhao Wei said that Yu Yanhui, the governor of Shazhou.

Shan Qiu said: "I sent someone to inform Yu Yanhui, who refused to lead the troops to Wuzhou on the grounds that Xiazhou's troops were exhausted, if Shazhou was also unguarded, and the rear was uneasy. ”

Fan Zhongyun said lightly: "Reply to Yu Yanhui, agree that he will not move, and hand over the defense of Xiazhou to him, if something happens, he will be severely punished." ”

Fan Zhongyun's face was calm, and he didn't feel any anger because of Yu Yanhui's disobedience, Yu Yanhui is the governor of Shazhou, and he is at the same level as the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion, but he is just controlled by Li Xun, and now that Li Xun is not here, he can really ignore the orders here, besides, he really doesn't want to come, there are too many excuses, why bother to force people?

Zhao Wei said worriedly: "After Li Xun left, Yu Yanhui always kept a certain distance from us, and his attitude was not as humble as before, Xiazhou is close to Wuzhou, if he..."

Fan Zhongyun smiled coldly: "Don't worry too much, Basel has been defeated, Dashi will never give up in China, the army will enter the Western Regions, it will be a matter of time, Zhan Bai looks aggressive, in fact, it is a paper tiger, scare and scare us, if you really want to fight, we have nearly 20,000 soldiers in Wuzhou, how can he fight in a short time, when the army of the Dashi Empire enters the Western Regions, what will he do to resist?" ”

Zhao Wei was puzzled: "Then why does he still have to do this useless work?" ”

Shan Qiu frowned and said, "Maybe it's some kind of temptation for us?" ”

"What General Shan said is very good."

Fan Zhongyun glanced at Shan Qiu appreciatively.

Zhao Wei was still puzzled: "Temptation? What tempt us? ”

Fan Zhongyun smiled and said lightly: "The two countries of Dajin and Dashi are in good alliance, and now the Dashi Empire has been defeated in the Western Regions, and important figures such as Basel and Hammer have fled to Wuzhou, and for political reasons, we can't hand over these people, which gives Zhan Bai a concern, or an illusion, thinking that our Dajin will stand on the side of Dashi, and Chen Bing Xizhou is also to prevent our side from attacking." ”

"Joke, what does Dashi's life and death have to do with us?"

Zhao Wei sneered.

Fan Zhongyun nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, so we have to make it clear and show our attitude." ”

"Let Li Cunxiao go, in the past two years, he has learned a lot of the language of the Western Regions and Dashi, and if he understands the language, he will understand everything."

Shan Qiu recommends Li Cunxiao.

Fan Zhongyun thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, bring him here, and I will explain the specific matters in person." ”

The words are to be explained, but they can't be said too bluntly, after all, Dashi and Dajin are on good terms, and the situation in the Western Regions is not yet clear, it is not good to offend either side, and maintaining neutrality is the best policy, as far as Fan Zhongyun guessed, this is probably what Zhan Bai wants to see the most.

In fact, even if Fan Zhongyun didn't send someone to come, Zhan Bai was also ready to leave, he had already received exact news, the fiasco of Basel had caused the whole country of Dashi to be shocked, and the emperor of the Dashi Empire had issued a general military mobilization, gathering 200,000 elite troops, with the imperial prince Mehdi as the commander of the three armies, marching into the Western Regions, time was pressing, Zhan Bai could not have been entangled with the Jin Dynasty here, and there were more important things waiting for him to do.

Zhan Bai's sudden rebellion, in fact, is just his personal behavior, he once persuaded his father Wang Dieriga to rebel against the Dashi Empire, but was refused, and almost lost the crown prince, suffered this blow, Zhan Bai did not give up, but changed his attitude, on the surface to Dashi more and more respectful, secretly, but is accumulating strength, looking for an opportunity.

This time, the Chen Kingdom and other seven countries rebelled, and the Xiyue Kingdom could not be attacked for a long time, and Basel finally let Zhan Bai lead the army alone in order to end the war as soon as possible.

Zhan Bai finally found an opportunity to secretly contact Prince Xi Dan of Xiyue Kingdom, get his affirmative answer, and then persuade the commander of Bilan's army, Emperor Bilan's younger brother Zhesha, to join forces in the incident.

"Jamber, the army has been assembled."

A middle-aged man in his forties walked in majestically, this person is King Bilan's younger brother Zhesha, because King Bilan is over 50 years old, frail and sickly, and has no son, so according to tradition, his younger brother Zhesha is the crown prince and his heir.

Jesha has a violent personality and is very brutal and ruthless, but at the same time, he has good military command skills, and he is even more brave in battle.

Zhesha lived in Marmaha for many years as a proton in his early years, and his first wife, the woman he loved, was plundered by a powerful man of the Dashi Empire, and finally died tragically.
