It was a sunny evening, Han Qian and Xi Ying walked back to the South Garden of Jinhua Building, and saw the afterglow of the sunset shining on the main building of the East Garden, the eaves paved with glazed tiles were shining, and they looked up and could see several people looking over the main building by the railing.

"It's really annoying, I can't wait for a person and an arrow to fall down," Xi Ying gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "It's said that there is no obstacle, but it's not good to let people stare at it all day long......"

Han Qian glanced up at the main building again, and walked towards his temporary residence with Xi Ying.

"After we left, you stayed in the Changxiang Hou Mansion, what did you talk about, and you came back so late?" Feng Yi saw Han Qian and walked over from afar and asked curiously.

"You have made a great contribution today, I will discuss with Changxiang Hou how to give you credit." Han Qian said jokingly.

However, Feng Yi did play a big role today, if he hadn't heard that Concubine Changxiang's piano skills were in the same vein as Su Hongyu, Han Qian would not have been able to find a breakthrough, and he would not have been able to find out so much useful information when Changxiang Hou was in chaos.

"How did Lord Guo talk with the officials of Honglu Temple and Zongzheng Temple?" Han Qian asked again.

"What else, not by the rules?" Feng Yi couldn't help but yawn when he thought of staring at Guo Rong and discussing with the officials of Shu State in the afternoon.

"Is there anything in particular that deserves attention?" Han Qian asked.

"In the afternoon, two elders from the palace came over, saying that Concubine Zhao Hui asked her to come over to ask about the details of the wedding, and asked the officials of Zongzheng Temple not to lose the etiquette of Dashu when preparing for the makeup ceremony - isn't Concubine Zhao Hui the mother of the Marquis of Qingjiang, is there anything wrong with being so enthusiastic?" Feng Yi said.

"Concubine Zhao Hui is the lord of the first palace, and she should be asked about this matter." Han Qian said lightly, but he knew in his heart that the Shu Kingdom had risen on the basis of the Shence Army and the Shenling Division and dominated the two rivers, and he believed that there would never be only three or five people in the Shu Kingdom who knew the existence of the Shenling Division.

At this time, Guo Rong came over, and Han Qian asked about some things that he had been contacted in the afternoon.

Although Wei Qun, the secretary of Honglu Temple, is an idle official, but as one of the nine qing, his rank is equivalent to that of the Shangshu of all departments, he was ordered to go out of the city to greet Han Qian yesterday, but he did not show up again for the specific daily reception and negotiation of the marriage of relatives, and was in charge of a general secretary named Song Hongzhong.

There is nothing to say about the marriage, after all, Shu took the initiative to put it forward, and Da Chu also paid enough attention to it, and the focus of the negotiation was to set up tribute halls and markets for each other, as well as to reduce the garrisons of both sides in Yiling and Jingzhou.

The timing of Shu lord Wang Jian's control of Dongchuan was quite early, and he preempted Dachu to control the Xuanling of Kipzhou at the eastern foot of Wushan Mountain.

Although the two sides of Chu and Shu have not officially started a war so far, Kipzhou is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and has the advantage of being commanded from a high position and condescending, and Shu has more than 10,000 elite Zhenjiang troops stationed in Yiling, Kipzhou, which makes Chu extremely uncomfortable and has to station elite heavy troops in Jingzhou for defense.

In the early stage of the preparation for the war to cut the domain, the Shu State increased the number of soldiers and horses stationed in Yiling, Kipzhou to 20,000, and Jinling was worried that the Shu army would send troops to intervene at any time, and many people even advocated softening the posture towards Tanzhou.

During the war of cutting the domain, Zhang Feng led the elite combat forces stationed in Jingzhou, but did not play any role in the early and middle periods, and waited until the Changxiang Marquis made Chu, and then Zhang Feng, the son of Zhang Feng, led an elite army to cross the river to the south to fight.

The two sides really need to work together to reduce the number of troops stationed in Kipzhou and Jingzhou, so that both sides can reduce the investment of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan of national funds every year.

The establishment of tribute halls and the stationing of officials to facilitate communication, and the exchange of markets to facilitate trade between the two sides, are all signs that the cooperation between the two sides has entered a more substantive stage.

Shu Chu is willing to promote these things, and the main thing to negotiate is the specific way and the degree of progress.

Han Qian generally understood the details of today's negotiation, so he returned to the house and continued to study the information collected by Jinyun Tower during this time.

In addition to the contradictions between the princes of Shu and the courtiers of Shu, the information collected also includes the current army faced by Shu

political situation.

In addition to the news from Jinyunlou's secret agents, there are also a large number of classics, local chronicles, and literati notes and articles that record the customs and customs of Sichuan and Shu, which are far from being completely digested by Han Qian day and night.

Although Han Qian has always deliberately strengthened the cultivation of talents within Jinyun Tower, there are still too few people who are really capable of handling this information.

This can't be blamed on Han Qian for having to do a lot of things himself, judging by the standards of future generations, the talents who are really capable of intelligence retrieval and analysis are all rare talents in the world, even if Han Qian has a few in his hands, they are all alone.

Han Qian had studied a lot of information when he was in Tanzhou, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to send an envoy to Shu, let alone that he would have to give advice to Changxiang Hou today to compete for favor in Shu, and he didn't have the time or energy to study too deeply before.

However, if he does not have a comprehensive grasp and understanding of the situation in Shu now, he will casually give advice to Changxiang Hou Wang Yong, which will only be full of flaws, and it will be impossible to gain the trust of Changxiang Hou Wang Yong.

Although the Marquis of Changxiang and the Lord of Qingyang are easier to bluff, he can't forget that behind Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, there is an old fox like Jing Qiongwen.

There was no condition to make a large sand table in the South Garden of Jinhua Building, so Han Qian asked Xi Ying to spread the rice paper all over the bookcase, take a special quill, draw the mountains and rivers of Shu, and mark important information directly on the topographic map, so that he could have an intuitive understanding of the situation in Shu.

Regardless of whether there were any gaps in the intelligence collected by Jinyun Tower, Han Qian's method of intelligence classification and analysis did not know how many times he had to throw off the so-called heroes in the world - this also benefited all the people who served by his side.

In addition to the border between Liang and Chu, Shu was disturbed by Qiangrong in the northwest, and its southern Sichuan region was mainly controlled by local indigenous people.

In order to enhance its strength and expand the depth of its territory, the main choice was to expand more to the southern Sichuan region, so as to eliminate the threat of the southern Sichuan people to Yuzhou, Luzhou, Rongzhou, Yanzhou and other places on both sides of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, in the past few years, in addition to resisting the invasion of the Qiangrong forces in the northwest, Shu's foreign wars were mainly to suppress the rebellion of the native barbarians in the south.

Marquis Wang Xiaoxian has made outstanding achievements in recent years, mainly participating in the suppression of the rebellion of the southern Sichuan bureaucratic forces.

In order to restore the rule of the previous dynasty over Yanzhou and other regions, the Shu State set up the Luzhou Governor's Office, and the Youzhenjiang Army was deployed in Luzhou, specializing in the suppression and rule of the people entrenched in Yanzhou and the mountainous areas in the south of Rongzhou.

The bureaucrats are an ethnic group that took advantage of the chaos in Shu during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and moved north from the Nanzhao region.

They have been in Yanrong and other states for hundreds of years, violently driving out the aborigines, and now they have fully controlled the mountains of northern Guizhou and southern Sichuan, claiming to be in charge of the mountains, which means "the general is in charge", and their people are extremely strong, men have vertebrae, or their hair, wear double blades left and right, like to fight and kill, and are brave to die lightly.

Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, only controlled the Lu, Rong and Chongqing prefectures in the south of Shu around four or five years after Tianyou, and during this period, the bureaucrats also tried to go out of the mountains to control the two states of Lu and Rong, and Wang Jian's troops fought fiercely several times, losing thousands of elites before being repulsed, and then formed a blood feud, and gathered out of the mountains to attack the prefectures and counties every three or five times.

Don't look at the outstanding achievements of the Marquis of Wei Xiaoxian in recent years, and the heads won in each battle are also hundreds or thousands, but the wingmen are extremely strong, and they have never succumbed to the pressure of force, so that Shu has not been able to effectively rule Yanzhou and the southern region of Rongzhou at this time.

In the Banan area along the Wujiang River (Qianjiang) in the south of Yuzhou, the passage through which Sichuan Shujing salt was smuggled through Sizhou to Chenxuzhou is also mainly under the control of the Wu bureaucrats next to the bureaucracy.

Great Chu can adopt a policy of proper restraint on Chenxu and other states, and has no intention of directly incorporating these areas into direct rule, but Shu has no way to be so calm about the posture of the southern Sichuan bureaucrats, after all, the connivance of the Shu state is too limited, threatened by the bureaucrats, and its unification of more than 30 counties in southern Sichuan

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Governance is difficult to consolidate.

Compared with the threat of the Liang army, the southern Sichuan people can be said to be a big trouble in the heart of Shu.

Song Hongzhong, the general secretary, set up a banquet in the main building at night, Han Qian didn't have time to waste on these entertainments, he went to socialize with Guo Rong, Feng Xu, Zhou and others, he just ate something in the house, and found Xi Fa'er and Guo Ke to ask for information about the southern Sichuan bureaucrats.

The smuggler salt dealers in the convict soldiers had very close contact with the Wu people on both sides of the Qianjiang River in Banan, and there were even many Wu people directly involved in this salt road; Xi Fa'er has been trafficked to northern Qianbei as a slave for many years, and there are many cottages in northern Qianbei controlled by bureaucrats, and he is also familiar with the relevant situation.

"You have been investigating the news of the Zhangdu of the Southern Sichuan Mountains for the past few days, the more detailed and detailed the information, the better, and the Shudu side will also spend a lot of effort to cultivate informants......" Han Qian instructed Guo Ke and Xi Fa'er, and let them go down to rest first.

"What are you doing researching at this critical juncture?" Xi Ying asked curiously.

"The Marquis of Changxiang wants me to give advice to compete for favor before the Shu lord Wang Jian, but if there is no certain excellent thing, just a few whirlwind cannon patterns, do you think this can easily enter Wang Jian's eyes?" Han Qian shook his head and asked.

It may not be difficult to separate the relationship between the Marquis of Qingjiang and the Lord of Shu Wang Jian, but the Lord of Shu Wang Jian does not trust the Marquis of Qingjiang, but it is not necessarily the Marquis of Changxiang, in addition to the Marquis of Qingjiang and the Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, has three sons.

If he wants to think of a strategy that can really convince the Marquis of Changxiang and entrust him with the power of the Marquis of Changxiang, he still has to put a lot of effort into doing some homework, and he has to make a fuss from the current troubles of Shu to have enough weight.

"The southern Sichuan people are indeed the big trouble for the Lord of Shu, but you have to come up with a plan, and when you really help them solve this big problem, you have to wait until the year of the donkey and the month of the horse?" Xi Ying asked, she suspected that Han Qian was paying attention to the people in southern Sichuan, and it was difficult to quench the thirst of the distant water.

Moreover, others have some misunderstandings about Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son, thinking that the Han family father and son had already thought of a comprehensive plan at the beginning of many things, and mistakenly thought that the Han family father and son had unpredictable and unpredictable strategies, but Xi Ying has been by Han Qian's side in the past few years, and knows that Han Qian is mainly improvisable most of the time.

What Han Qian is really strong about is that he always has a way to solve practical problems that are difficult for others to solve.

If Han Qian could lead the Shu army and go to conquer the southern Sichuan bureaucrats, Xi Ying believed that he would be able to overcome the difficulties encountered one by one and finally achieve good results.

However, Xi Ying didn't think that Han Qian would be able to come up with a plan for Shu now that could comprehensively solve the problem of rebellion in southern Sichuan without missing anything.

There is no such person in the world.

"Okay, don't say it, the key is to get the approval of Wang Jian, the lord of Shu - besides, if my father and son can gain a foothold in Xuzhou, they will already make Wang Jian look sideways, right?" Han Qian's plot was mainly to help the chief townsman compete for favor and power in front of Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, and said with a confident smile, "If you can't do anything, you can still say that the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky!" ”

Xi Ying thinks about it, only because the father and son of the Han family can gain a foothold in Xuzhou, where the native Fanhu is very powerful, and even completely control the situation in Xuzhou, and thus lay the foundation for the victory of Dachu against Tanzhou, and he does have the right to speak beyond the reach of others in the affairs of the Southern Sichuan Ping.

It's just that thinking of this, Xi Ying fell into silence again, since ancient times, he has been a family, and he has always been a victim of the southward expansion of the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty......

Han Qian could guess what Xi Ying was thinking, as a descendant of Shanyue, out of the psychology of the same hatred and hatred, most of the people in his heart sympathized with the southern Sichuan bureaucrats, stared at her eyes, and asked: "Don't talk about other places, let's say that this southern Sichuan, Han Yi has lived together for thousands of years, but to this day there are still bloody disputes, I don't know how many people have died in the chaos." Do you hope that I can come up with a way to quell the chaos and stop the bloody things from now on, or do you hope that this place will continue to toss for thousands of years so that the bloody dispute will never end? ”

Xi Ying fell into complete silence, facing Han Qian's question, she was confused, and she didn't know how to answer it at all......
