After a pause, Yang Su sighed: "Li Xinchen can see through it, obviously Xu Ling and Wu Mingche, these old thieves, have also seen through it later, so they are now moving closer to Li Xinchen, but there are still many people who themselves carry the label of the royal family, so they can only continue to pretend to be confused, hoping that the last day will come later······"

In this troubled world, how fast the change of people in power, everyone knows in their hearts, Nanchen has only been a short twenty years since Chen Baxian opened the country, the emperor has changed several and not to mention, the officials in the court are even more like a marquee, from the beginning of Hou Andu, Xu Du and others to Wu Mingche and Xu Ling and others, and then to the current Donggong Jiang and Kong Fan, perhaps no one thought that in just 20 years, several generations have passed, and the time for each generation to really hold power is only a short three or four years.

And in order to get to this peak, they spent almost half of their lives.

Perhaps because of this, at least for the ministers of the Eastern Palace who now control Nan Chen, it is obviously more important to enjoy the taste of the current power than to worry about whether Li Xinchen will come to the door one day. So at least now, Yang Su hadn't heard of Nan Chen's intention to take the initiative to attack or even strengthen his defense.

After the Battle of Xiangyang, Xiao Maha has rarely appeared in public, obviously the Battle of Xiangyang has dealt a great blow to him, and the Nanchen army has also begun to shrink its defenses, and even the cities such as Xinzhou, which had been re-rested in order to facilitate Li Xinchen's entry into Shu, have been abandoned again. The fact that these fortresses guarding the entrance to the Three Gorges were easily abandoned, which shows that Xiao Maha actually doesn't have much intention of fighting with Li Xinchen now.

Everyone is tired and wants to soak in the peace that has rarely been seen after the turmoil of the past few years.

"Brother Chudao?" Li Yuan asked tentatively, Yang Su had been in a daze for a while.

Yang Su came back to his senses and said in a low voice: "It is conceivable that the goal of the Marquis of Hanzhong will definitely be transferred to the Chen people, and if Jingzhou and Jiangnan are not pacified, the Marquis of Hanzhong only relies on the current Bashu and Xiangyang and other places, and it is difficult to support the battle of attacking Guanzhong and the Central Plains." Especially now that the territory in the northwest has been added, it is not a big arm for him, but more like an obstacle. ”

Li Yuan bowed slightly, although his ancestor Li Hu was only registered in the Li clan in Longxi, but after the continuous integration of three generations, and the Li clan in Longxi originally had the intention of moving closer to Guanzhong, the two families have reached the point of joining forces, at least Li Yuan is now the real patriarch of the Li clan in Longxi.

The relationship between Li Yuan and the Li family in Longxi is already very close, so he still knows a lot about the situation in Longxi and the entire northwest, the threat of Tuyuhun and the Turks has caused the population of the northwest to be lost, and a large area of land has been barren, and because the focus of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been on the war against the Northern Qi and Southern Chen over the years, and the northwest and Bashu and other places have also been negligent in management, otherwise Li Xinchen would not have been given such an opportunity, but this also means that Li Xinchen wants to develop in the northwest, rather than become his own burden, It will definitely take manpower and material resources.

Although Yang Su is not very clear about Li Xinchen's development plan, he can also see that the vitality of Bashu has not yet recovered, and Li Xinchen has no ability to rebuild the northwest at all. What's more, fundamentally speaking, the reason why the northwest is declining is because the Silk Road was cut off, without the Silk Road, the northwest will naturally become a pool of stagnant water, if Li Xinchen wants to let the water in the pool flow, the Silk Road must be opened.

But now the Western Regions is already full of small countries and the situation is chaotic, not to mention that there are Tuyuhun and Turks on the road, plus no one knows what the situation is in Daqin in the west, so except for the road, which may be ready-made, everything on the road is unknown, how easy it is!

Therefore, Yang Su does not think that Li Xinchen's center of gravity will shift to the northwest, I am afraid that this is why Li Xinchen is so anxious to negotiate with the Northern Zhou Dynasty this time.

At least this is not bad news for the Hongnong Yang clan and the Longxi Li clan in Chang'an City now. Li Xinchen does not focus on the northwest, which means that he will not attack Guanzhong in a short time, and there will not be too many contradictions and conflicts with Yang Jian. And in order not to start a war on both sides, Yang Jian will definitely not be stupid to find trouble with Li Xinchen, so that once the hostile relationship between the two sides begins to ease, the room for activity of the Hongnong Yang clan and the Longxi Li clan will naturally be much larger.

In Yang Su's positioning, Hongnong Yang's identity should be Li Xinchen's envoy and spokesperson in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, not the current hostage.

Now that the two sides have room for relaxation, Yang Su can't lie high at home and wait for Yang Jian to say something. He was never one to wait for an opportunity to come to his door.

"Prepare for the name, and I want to visit the Duke of Suiguo." Yang Suhuo Ran got up, straightened his clothes, and looked at the surprised Li Yuan with a smile, "Do you want to go with a certain person?" ”

Li Yuan couldn't help laughing: "If Brother Chu wants to take the little brother to open his eyes, the little brother will naturally not refuse!" ”

——————————————————-

Yang Jian was very surprised by Yang Su's visit, especially since he had been overwhelmed by the battle reports of Pusaka and Xiao Guan.

Wei Xiaokuan was in a hurry, and Yu Yi was completely defeated, Yang Jian never felt that his life would be so difficult. As a son of a poor family, he climbed to today's position step by step, and he didn't know how much effort he had spent and how many smiling faces he had accompanied. Especially after the death of Dugu Xin, the weakening of the Dugu family and the long-term suspicion and suspicion of the first emperor Yuwen Yong made Yang Jian lose his biggest arm and at the same time, he had to be careful with every step, which also made him even dilute it in the Northern Zhou court for many years.

Perhaps it was because he took a fancy to Yang Jian's low-key and wanted to stabilize this chaotic minister and thief in many people's mouths, that Yu Wenyong would set up a marriage with the Yang family for Yu Wenyun, who was the crown prince. It's just that I'm afraid Yu Wenyong didn't expect that his son would be so ridiculous in the future, and he forcibly set up five queens for himself. Of course, because of the war with Yu Wenxian, Yu Wenyun in this time and space did not take draft girls on a large scale - in fact, the only territory he can really control is Guanzhong, and there are not many people for him to choose, so Yu Wenyun actually only has two queens now.

However, because in addition to his wife Yang Lihua, the other queen Zhu Manyue is from a civilian background, and she is much older than Yu Wenyun, if she hadn't given birth to Yu Wenyun's only son, Yu Wenyun, it would be difficult to enjoy such a status. However, Zhu Manyue has never competed with Yang Lihua, and he also obeys Yang Lihua in everything, so Yang Jian's identity as a relative is still very stable.
