Han Daochang came over this time, in addition to bringing Han Qian's holy decree to participate in political affairs, there was also one thing to discuss with Han Qian, that is, it involved the placement of the Wen clan.

At present, the imperial court has accepted the letter of state submitted by Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, and after Wen Bo was surrendered, he led the new right Shenwu army to be the first to enter Liangzhou, that is, there is no fault, and it is a great merit, then the court will consider completely pardoning the Wen clansmen for the crime of rebellion back then, and naturally some people will think of moving the Wen clansmen from Donghu to settle in Gyeonggi.

"They want to think that when the time comes, Wen Duqiao and Wen Zhanyu will write a letter requesting to stay in Donghu and settle down, and they can still be dragged across the river?" Han Qian pursed his lips, not thinking that there was anything to worry about in this matter.

Seeing Han Qian say this, Han Daochang knew that he had already eaten the Wen clan, or that Wen Duqiao, Wen Zhanyu and others had already indicated that they wanted to stay in East Lake, so there was really nothing to worry about.

Besides, many princes and ministers in the court also understood in their hearts that after Wen Bo was surrendered, he led the new right Shenwu army to enter Liangzhou after arriving in Canglang, and it was planned by Han Qian from beginning to end, and Han Qian just hid behind the scenes.

Even if the Wen clan is really moved to Gyeonggi to settle down now, after the Right Shenwu Army completes the established combat mission in Liangzhou, who is willing to accept it and who dares to accept it if it is transferred to any place other than Huaixi and Xuzhou to garrison?

In the end, don't you have to stuff it into Huaixi?

Han Daochang stayed in Huaixi for more than 20 days this time, on the one hand, to see the operation of the counties in the party, and on the other hand, to stay by Han Qian's side, to know about the changes in the war in Liangzhou earlier and more prepared than in Jinling.

It should be the large-scale westward advance of the Xiangbei Army to contain the intention of Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian to counterattack, as of the end of March, although there are a large number of Shu troops before and after the southern return through the Qinling South, but mainly stay in the south entrance of the Baochuan Road and Chencang Road, according to the dangerous terrain, control the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, but there is no sign of directly and massively entering the Hanzhong Basin in a short period of time.

In addition to Zhou Shu's left guard army stationed in Suizhou and Yingzhou, almost half of the troops stayed in Huangxian, Wusheng, and Pingjing, which are located in the passes between Tongbai Mountain and Huaiyang Mountain, to maintain vigilance against Tangyi (Huaixi) and draw a clear line between the two sides.

At present, the whole Xiangbei, Wuguan is located in a dangerous place, and for the time being, there is no extravagant hope to seek the land of Shangluo and Shangluo counties in the north, and it is enough to garrison three or four thousand elites in Wuguan and Jingzikou and other places.

To the north of Dengzhou (Nanyang Basin), the Shouzhou Army and Caizhou soldiers and horses were flawless to protect themselves, and they did not have the strength to attack the Fangcheng defense line in the north of Nanyang, and they only needed to put three or five thousand elite garrisons there.

This means that Li Zhihe and Li Changfeng can transfer up to 50,000 elites to fight in Liangzhou.

In this case, whoever is Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian does not dare to easily lead their troops to counterattack Liangzhou.

Theoretically, Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian can also directly attack Shuzhong from the Yīn Ping Road west of Liangzhou, but that road is more treacherous, in disrepair, and it is easy to be intercepted along the way, and there is no guarantee of grain and materials, especially the north entrance of the Yīn Ping Road is still under the control of the Pingxia people, at least for the time being, there is no sign that Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian led their troops from Fengzhou and Qizhou to the west and took the Yīn Ping Road.

Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian's troops were isolated, and the Chu army had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses entering Liangzhou, and the psychological catalytic effect on the monarchs and ministers of Shu and local prefectures and counties was extremely complicated.

Without 30,000 Chu troops inserting into Liangzhou, even if Wang Hongyi, Zhao Weisheng and others were executed, their henchmen all over the Shu government and opposition might still think that after welcoming Zhao Mengji and Weihou Wang Xiaoxian back, they could serve Weihou Wang Xiaoxian as the master.

And from the beginning of the recklessness, the old ministers and veterans who followed the Shu lord Wang Jian to establish the Shu State may still have it in their hearts

The idea of rescuing the Shu lord Wang Jian from the secluded Shu Palace.

In any case, without more than 30,000 Chu troops inserting into Liangzhou, Zhao Mengji and Weihou Wang Xiaoxian led 70,000 elites back to Shuzhong, and it is really difficult to say who will kill the deer.

Even if they have nothing to do with the prince Wang Hongyi and have no sense of the fate of the Shu lord Wang Jian, the Sichuan and Shu neutral faction clan forces, they will choose to wait and see the situation as much as possible, and they will never be able to wait and fall into the arms of the new lord Wang Yong.

This is also the root of Han Qian's initial conclusion that Wang Yong's chances of success are extremely small.

In the end, people's hearts still have to be mastered by strength.

Now more than 30,000 Chu troops were inserted into Liangzhou, and Cao Gan was rectifying the defense in Lizhou (Jianmen Pass) south of Liangzhou, and Wang Yong also sent his descendants to take over the defense of Jiangyouguan in the south of Yiīn Pingdao, and the return of Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian became far away, but it was impossible for the courtiers of the Shu court and the clan lords in Shu to delay without expressing their position.

They must consider now whether they will continue to delay Xiayun, and once the new lord stabilizes the situation, will they be liquidated and purged as the henchmen of Wang Hongyi, the prince of the world.

When it comes to neutral forces, the choice is the easiest.

Whoever has the power to throw it to whom, and whose chance of success is to whom.

Seeing that Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian had no possibility of returning in the short term, they asked three or five or more than a dozen people to run to Jing Qiongwen and Qi every day to show their loyalty to the new master.

After Wang Yong launched a mutiny, he controlled Shudu with 30,000 soldiers and horses, which far from means that his position is secure.

Every day, he had to issue a large number of personnel and military transfer orders, adjust and transfer the appointment of officials in central Shu, southern Sichuan, northern Shu, eastern Sichuan, and western Sichuan, and also recruit Ding Zhuang from prefectures and counties to supplement the forbidden army.

In the first month, there were only a handful of respondents.

Even if there is a response, it is prevarication and prevarication.

Even if there are some officials who have been friends with Wang Yong before, they are also pinned on by Wang Yong, and this time they want to push them to local posts, but there are still some people who are worried that they will be purged after the failure of the incident, so they find excuses to resign and delay.

At that moment, Wang Yong really realized that he was too optimistic about some issues in advance.

However, this situation quickly changed in late February, after the monarchs and ministers of Shu saw more and more Chu troops entering Liangzhou, but Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian did not react.

More and more of the decrees issued by Wang Yong have received timely and positive responses.

The officials he appointed went to their posts one by one in high spirits, and the local authorities no longer shirked their responsibilities, no longer delayed the handover, and the requisitioned Ding Zhuang, Qian and Liang all embarked on the road to Shu one after another, which shows that the situation in Shu is really changing in his favor.

Of course, there is another very key reason for this, that is, there are still a group of far-sighted generals in Shu, who are worried that the situation in Shu will continue to be turbulent, and in the end, not only will they not be able to welcome back Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian to quell the rebellion of Changxianghou, but it is very likely that the ill-intentioned Chu army will benefit and finally seek Shu land.

The lesser of two evils.

Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian were alone and could not return to Shu, at this time, they continued to remain silent, and even secretly added fuel to the fire, so that the situation in Shu continued to be turbulent, and in the end it was very likely that the Chu army would take advantage of it, or support the new lord Wang Yong, so that the situation could be stabilized again, and the ambitions that the Chu army might have, was not difficult to make a decision in front of these pragmatists in Shu.

These generals are basically veterans who follow the Shu lord Wang Jian, and have basically been squeezed out of the core of the Shu court by Wang Jian in the past ten years, but there is no doubt that their influence in Shu is extremely far-reaching and huge.

Although these people may be more loyal to Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, but at the same time they are also pragmatic, Jing Qiongwen and Cao Gan finally persuaded Wang Yong to use this group of old ministers or their heirs to replace the henchmen of the prince Wang Hongyi.

to fill the vacancies in the army, the court, and the local prefectures and counties, so as to control the situation more quickly in their hands.

In addition to Han Qian writing a letter to Chen Jingzhou, hoping that Chen Jingzhou would secretly discuss some things with Wang Yong, the new lord of Shu, on behalf of Tangyi, Wang Zhe would also travel with him.

They arrived in Chengdu, the capital of Shu, in early March, and stayed in Shudu for a month to discuss the borrowing of troops, the transfer of the two prefectures of Kip and Liang, and the tribute - Han Qian also expressed to Wang Yong through Chen Jingzhou that he hoped to appoint as much as possible the veteran generals and officials who led Wang Jian to lay down the rivers and mountains of Sichuan and Shu to stabilize the situation in Sichuan and Shu as soon as possible, and even suggested that Wang Yong should not purge Wang Hongyi's henchmen, and also hoped that he could treat Zhao Mengji, Wang Xiaoxian and the families of the main generals in his hands well.

At the same time, Han Qian would ask Wen Bo and Tan Yuliang to hand over some of the Huangtou army generals and more than 4,000 prisoners they had seized in Liangzhou City to Cao Gan to take over.

At this time, Wang Yong was still able to follow the advice, and he also readily agreed to cede Yantian Port, the southernmost part of Yuzhou, into Wuchuan County in order to offset the annual tribute.

Wang Yong had just mastered the Shu capital, and the finances of Shu were in chaos, but he needed to take a large amount of money and food to comfort people, to settle the affairs of Shu and local prefectures and counties, and also needed to immediately expand the new forbidden army under his personal control.

Except for the kindness shown by Han Qian, with so many soldiers and horses of the Chu army stationed on the side of the couch, blocking the counterattack of Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian's soldiers and horses for them, Wang Yong would never say that he would tear up his previous promise now.

Although the southernmost Yantian port in Yuzhou was ceded, although that area was more than 120 miles deep along the Qianjiang River, and the peaks and ridges extending to the two wings were even deeper and wider, this area was full of deep mountains and old forests, steep peaks, and there may not be tens of thousands of acres of flat fields in total.

Yantian Port, also known as Yanzhai or Yanzhai, has been regarded as a place with abundant well salt resources in the Banan area since ancient times.

However, the problem is that the well salt resources in other parts of Shu are more sufficient, and there is no shortage of salt fields.

Because the salt of Chu and Shu is extremely strict and even cruel and the corresponding penal system, even if Yantian Port is included in Wuchuan County, Wang Yong also knows that Tangyi has more sophisticated means of mining well salt, and after obtaining Yantian Port, it will increase the production of well salt on a large scale, but he does not have to worry about infringing on Shu's own salt profits - after all, the output of well salt under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou has increased greatly, and the transportation to the central Guizhou region or to Huaixi has nothing to do with Shu.

Therefore, no matter from the interests of Shu, or because Han Qian helped him so much this time, he had to give corresponding returns, and at this time, ceding Yantian Port, and having Xuzhou or Tangyi bear the annual tribute of 200,000 yuan on behalf of Shu, it is a very cost-effective deal.

In addition, even if Han Qian, Li Zhihe, and Chai Jianmi's agreement to exchange Liangzhou in Gwangju will not be made public, Wang Yong is not blind.

At present, although Wen Bo's department and Tan Yuliang's department are still in Liangzhou, it is an indisputable fact that Liangzhou's military deployment has been completely dominated by Li Zhihe and Li Changfeng.

Regardless of whether Han Qian made concessions under tremendous pressure, or whether he didn't think about seeking Liangzhou from the beginning, the fact in front of Wang Yong was that what Shu would have to guard against in the future was the ambition of Li Zhihe and Chai Jian for Shu.

And the sweet and close relationship between Shu and Tangyi will continue to be maintained, and even hope that Tangyi will suppress the ambitions of Li Zhihe, Chai Jian and others in Shu within Great Chu.

This is obviously also in line with Tangyi's internal interests in Dachu.

Even though Xuzhou of Tangyi borders Yuzhou through the Qianjiang River on the southern route, Xuzhou is narrow and sparsely populated after all, and the surrounding situation is relatively complicated, but Wang Yong will not be too worried.
