In the end, what kind of accident can make the three roads in Youbei, which were originally dedicated to the development of the economy and are working hard, re-enter the state of emergency preparedness? Just like the reason for the closure of the East Customs Market, it is the uneasy grassland neighbor who is getting more and more fierce!

The shamanism of the Mobei grassland has fallen into a chaotic situation of self-care under the concerted efforts of many grassland tribes; Without these magic sticks as a hindrance, the entire Mobei grassland has completely entered a chaotic era of separation.

Those small tribes who were not qualified to sit on the stage, and even small leaders who were born as slaves, after losing their restraints, have pulled up their own teams and participated in the struggle for the Golden Horde of the Khan; In the beginning, it was just the unconscious sons of King Bormu Khan, who killed each other; But shamanism was in chaos, and the entire Mobei grassland became a pot of hot porridge.

From the Eastern Front Alliance bordering Youbei Third Road, to the Mobei Wangcheng Yunzhong, and then to Zhangye County bordering Western Xinjiang and Northern Yan, the raging war stretched for thousands of miles of borders; As long as you set foot on the grassland of Mobei, you can see a group of cavalry with their own masters, wielding elegant sabers and carrying colorful flags......

Just a few days ago, a defeated Mobei army helped the old and the young, and entered the territory of Youbei in the name of visiting their nephews. Don't look at this group of defeated soldiers who were beaten so that there were not even a few war horses left, but they kept saying that they were envoys who came to pay tribute to the Emperor of Youbei! At that time, Fu Yi, the governor of Zhongshan Road, happened to run away in a bad mood, and Zhang De, the deputy commander of the governor's army, after getting the news of the "foreign envoy tribute", was really afraid that these defeated soldiers might really be the uncle of his own mixed-blood emperor, so he assigned a team of men and horses to escort them to Fengjing.

The people who really influence the direction of history are often small people. Don't look at Zhang De, the deputy commander, who is not famous, but after he handled it so carefully, what was originally just Mobei's own mess immediately became a matter between Mobei and Youbei!

Strictly speaking, Yan Qinghong's Xianci Lan Concubine Niangniang has a very high rank among the Mobei ethnic groups; Therefore, according to the customs of the Mobei grassland, every grassland man who is not a slave is a distant relative of the Xingping Emperor in Youbei. Now the "King of Suhe Khan", who was killed and collapsed, and Yan Qinghong are such a so-called kinship. In fact, Yan Qinghong has never even heard his name!

Faced with this defeated army who had no skin and no face to recognize his relatives, King Khan and Yan Qinghong planned to give him a few taels of silver casually, and then send him back to the grassland. However, after meeting in person, it was found that all of them were injured one by one, and Yan Qinghong was also moved by compassion, allowing them to recuperate in Fengjing and return to Mobei after they healed, and regain the ASEAN grassland that belonged to him.

However, the reason why King Suhehan, who was originally a prince, fell to this step of the field must have been done by someone......

It turned out that the person who defeated the Suhe Department in one fell swoop was the most powerful tribe in the entire Mobei Grassland near ASEAN. This tribe uses the shamanic totem pole as the battle flag pattern, claiming to be inspired by the soul of the previous great shaman, and is ordered to lead the people of Mobei through the baptism of wildfire and live a stable life again. The name of the leader of these people is Chaolu, which means stone in the ancient Mobei language.

In fact, from this name alone, it can be seen that the most powerful Khan king in Mobei ASEAN was born as a slave with a life as cheap as grass mustard.

In fact, it was this slave-born Chaolu Khan King who secretly united with other tribes and secretly stabbed to death the common mother of the children of the steppe, the great shaman; It was also this king of Chaolu Khan, with his huge advantages in weapons and food, that he collected a large number of slaves in a short period of time, and promised them countless cattle, sheep and horses, and extremely fat pasture oases, turning these lowly slaves who were originally inferior to pigs and dogs into brave and fierce steppe iron horses.

When you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart. I don't know where the slave-born King Chaolu Khan collected a large amount of gold, silver and equipment, and in a short period of time, he took a group of slaves who couldn't even use a saber to gain a firm foothold in the chaotic Mobei grassland, and developed extremely rapidly.

For the chaos of shamanism, he took the lead in remembering the king of Lu Khan; However, through the direction of public opinion, he successfully blamed the seven princes for this incident, and personally planned and assassinated two of them based on the grassland of ASEAN; Then he repeated the trick and splashed dirty water on another clan leader.

And this unlucky leader is named Su He.

On the third day of the mourning dog Su He and the tribute of Fengjing, Shuangshan Village, where Zhongshan Road and Mobei Grassland communicate most frequently, was killed by a group of iron horsemen under the banner of shamanism, and no men, women and children were left. After this time, King Chaolu Khan sent a so-called foreign envoy to Fengjing City to accuse the Youbei Grassland of not medling in the private affairs of the Mobei Grassland.

He told the official of the Ministry of Rites in charge of the reception that if the Youbei side intended to form an alliance with the Shenshi tribe under the command of King Chaolu Khan, they should hand over Suhe and his remnants as soon as possible; If they still insist on going their own way and shielding the traitor Su He who killed the two princes, then their Shenshi tribe will immediately move south and slaughter the entire Youbei Three Roads.

It can be seen from the attitude of this envoy to negotiate that even though the slave-born Chaolu has now become a climate, he does not know how to conduct normal diplomatic negotiations with other countries for the time being.

In fact, Yan Qinghong had no interest in the melee that occurred in the Mobei grassland. After all, the people of Youbei have always relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water, and most of them are hunters or fishermen; Most of those immigrants are farmers, and there are very few herders who rely on livestock for their livelihood. Under such circumstances, he can be considered to be able to take a huge piece of the territory of the Mobei grassland into his pocket, but what can he do?

It's one thing to not need to, it's another thing to be threatened by someone knocking on your door. Now the threat of being pointed at the tip of his nose with a saber still touches the bottom line in Yan Qinghong's heart. After listening to the report of the Ministry of Rites, if it weren't for Prime Minister Wan Cheng, who had been temporarily living in the Dongnuan Pavilion, he stopped Emperor Xingping in time who had lost his mind; Maybe Yan Chongwu has already led the Flying Bear Army under his command and set foot on the Mobei grassland!

However, it is also as Wan Changning said at the time: under the current chaotic situation of the division of the Mobei group, no matter who intentionally puts their hands into the Mobei grassland, they will inevitably chop off a few fingers!

Although the time for revenge can be postponed, the Shuangshan Village, which has been burned to ruins, has made Youbei Third Road smell the smell of war again.

Today's small meeting in the Dongnuan Pavilion was also held because of the fall of Shuangshan Village......

After Li Zilin was ordered to leave the palace, Yan Qinghong asked Wan Changning, who seemed to be in a good mood:

"Shi'an, Gu Hui's knowledge is acceptable, but his real talent and experience in governance are all mediocre! Since you are the head of the imperial court, how can you not know this person's catties? ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Gu Hui, whom Zilin recommended on the surface, is actually just a disguise! Just like the allusion to the purchase of the pearl, the person who is really capable of taking charge of the handsome seal of Zhongshan Road is the lady of the palm seal of the inner hall of the Gu Governor's Mansion, the Huang family! “

Gu Hui has a lot of real talent and learning, and he can't hide the eyes of people with a heart at all. However, few people know that Mrs. Huang, the tigress in Lord Gu's house, although her appearance is extremely ordinary, and her speech and demeanor are no different from that of a shrew in the market, she is actually a very rare handsome talent.

Take Jincheng under Gu Hui's rule as an example, if he relied on Lord Gu's true talent and learning to govern a major commercial and military town, then even if he did not die under Yan Chongwu's military law, he would have died at the hands of those secret spies and spies who infested the vicinity of the Eastern Customs.

But now the border fortress, Jincheng, has just undergone a small expansion; Whether it is the caravan coming and going or the garrison of the Flying Bear Army, they have achieved each other without disturbing each other; Even those spies from all over the world, Haibei, and all of them have been clearly touched by "Gu Hui", and they have been compiled and compiled by category, and they are still under the porcelain pillow of Wan Changning!

As for Wan Changning, who stayed at home, how did he know that this move was done by the Huang woman? The reason is also very simple, although Master Gu is mediocre, after all, he is also a serious literati with a background of 800 years, and he has practiced Confucianism since childhood, which can really be described as smooth; But looking at this booklet that records all the secret spies in the vicinity of the East China Sea Pipe, the font is very similar to that of a newly enlightened child, and there are even dots of ink in some places, which looks extremely indecent.

After having such questions in his heart, Wan Changning got the answer from Yan Chongwu, and naturally paid a little more attention to this virtuous helper of the Gu family.

Just now, after he heard Li Zilin recommend Gu Hui to take charge, he immediately remembered the heroine of the Gu family in his heart.

However, throughout the ages, there has never been a precedent for a woman in charge in the Huayu Continent; In addition, although Gu Hui's identity is not high, he is also from a scholarly family; Whether it is out of order to maintain the dignity of the court in the three roads of Youbei, or to sympathize with Lord Gu's husband who has always been sluggish, there must be a saying on the scene that makes each other passable.

After listening to Wan Changning's confession and reading the childish but clear-thinking secret spy booklet with his own eyes, Yan Qinghong completely relieved himself:

In this way, this Huang woman really has some ability. Okay, then we'll put this to an end first. Then the grain officer recommended by Zilin is called ......"

"Ding Shuo!"

"Yes, Ding Shuo. Where did he come from? ”

Regarding this question, Wan Changning really tilted his head and thought about it for a long time; After making sure that he was not impressed, he called a little eunuch, fetched three rosters for him, and began to investigate them carefully.

At the same time, the foreign envoy of the Shenshi tribe also happened to return to the tribe's residence and had just been summoned to the Great Tent of the Khan......
