When Han Daoxun and his son first arrived in Xuzhou, they used the strategy of scaring the snake to induce the four surnames to hastily connivance with the state prison howling, Han Daoxun and his son suppressed the howling trouble overnight, and scared the children of the four surnames to escape from Qianyang City in a hurry, so that Qianyang City completely fell into the hands of Han Daoxun and his son, and the four surnames were also forced to agree to establish commerce and trade at this time, and maintain the status quo with Han Daoxun and his son - at present, the situation in Xuzhou is still complex and abnormal, but this is also a better situation that the central government can control Xuzhou since the establishment of Qianyang and the establishment of Wushui for hundreds of years. At this time, the news that there is no longer a scout of the division in Xuzhou has come out, and it must have been expelled by Han Daoxun and his son, or has already suffered heavy damage......"

In the Sima Mansion in Langzhou, Tanzhou Jiedu made the prince Ma Xun sit behind the main case; And Sima Ma Rong of Langzhou, who was in charge of the Caozhou battalion and the state prison, was Ma Xun's cousin, and at this time, according to the internal order of Tanzhou, he could only sit at the head of the prince Ma Xun, and watched Wen Ruilin, the guest secretary of the world, stand in front of the hall and make a generous speech.

The various conditions that have occurred in Xuzhou in the past month have been unexpected by everyone, and they have almost made the mountains in southwest Hunan that have been calm for many years seem to be boiling day and night.

Many officials of the Tanzhou Jiedu Envoys, headed by Ma Xun, the prince of the world, had to gather at the mouth of the river where Yuanshui flows into Dongting Lake, in Hanshou City, where the Langzhou Prefecture is located, to inspect the situation of the displaced people crossing the border on the spot to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as Ma Xun arrived in Hanshou City, they planted their eyeliner in Qianyang City, and there was news that Han Daoxun was collecting money on both sides of the Yuanshui River and lifting the ban.

Wen Ruilin naturally strongly suggested closing the passage for displaced people to enter the south through Yuanshui, and even more so to prevent the people in Tanlangyue and other places from being misled by rumors and pouring into Xuzhou, ignoring the news deliberately released by Han Daoxun's father and son.

It was originally the duty of the prefecture and county to prohibit the displaced people from crossing the border, and it was even possible to strengthen the interrogation of merchant ships and caravans, and detain all the people who crossed the border without a test, so that no matter what calculations Han Daoxun and his son had, they would all fall into the void.

On the big side, in Wen Ruilin's view, Tanzhou should try its best to urge the southern Hunan states to maintain the status quo and wait for the development of the situation in Jinling.

As long as the situation in Jinling becomes chaotic, the native Fanmin of the southern Hunan prefectures are actually extremely scattered, and even if all the villages are easy to defend and difficult to attack, the officials sent by the Jinling are detained and the local Fanmin surname is maintained as the status quo, and the situation in the southern Hunan prefectures can be quickly stabilized.

"In order to accumulate wealth, Han Daoxun lifted the land ban, and did not restrict the displaced people from cultivating land to live in the village, isn't this a good opportunity for us to fully infiltrate and control Xuzhou?" Although the prince Ma Xun attaches great importance to Wen Ruilin's opinion, but in the hall of Sima Mansion in Langzhou today, not everyone thinks that Wen Ruilin is reasonable, Ma Yuanheng, who sits under Ma Rong, served as the assassin of Xuzhou thirteen years ago, and was driven out of Xuzhou by the four surnames after leading the remnants to defect to the same clan Ma Yin.

Ma Yuanheng still remembered the humiliating history of the dog being expelled from Xuzhou by the four surnames back then, and thought that if he followed Wen Ruilin's plan, even if he could coexist peacefully with the native surname in the future, it would only be nominally to include the Xiangnan Prefectures under the rule of Tanzhou, but the goal of hoping that the Xiangnan Prefectures would become the rear of Tanzhou's stability was still unachievable.

And the balance of power in Xuzhou was broken by Han Daoxun and his son, and Han Daoxun, in order to collect money, took advantage of the retreat of the four surnames into the mountains and forests to release the land ban on both sides of the Yuanshui, they didn't take the opportunity to intervene in a big way, but when?

"Do you know that Han Daoxun's father and son lured me into a muddy pond in Tanzhou?" Wen Ruilin asked.

"How do you know that this is not the intention of Han Daoxun and his son to show favor to Tanzhou?" Ma Yuanheng asked rhetorically, "I see that Mr. Wen sometimes ponders Huang Lao's technique, and he thinks too much, and he always feels that everyone is as unfathomable as Mr. Wen is foolish. I think this matter is very simple, Han Daoxun's father and son are loyal to the three princes, but as long as they are selfish, they will not consider whether the three princes will stay after they lose power! ”

Everyone thinks that Ma Yuanheng's words are reasonable, Jinling is very strict with Tanzhou in front of him, and the officials who come out of Jinling will not easily befriend Tanzhou, at least not publicly, but Han Daoxun's father and son secretly left such a big hole in Tanzhou, and they are still timid, so they are a little too timid.

Wen Ruilin saw that the prince was already moved by Ma Yuanheng's words, and still didn't give an inch, and said: "Han Daoxun and his son really want to show favor to Tanzhou, so they won't leave the Xi daughter by their side." ”

"You!" Ma Yuanheng saw that Wen Ruilin was relying on the favor of the prince, and he poked his scar without any scruples, so angry that his white beard trembled, patted the desk and said, "Wen Ruilin, you are defending the east and the west, but you can't say what Han Daoxun's father and son are plotting today, who do you want to support you in blocking the waterway?" Even if the prince listens to your instigation, but in the end, the lord still has a decision, do you want to even the son of the world to be reprimanded by the lord? ”

Tanzhou Jiedu made Ma Yin to give his son Ma Xun experience and handed over the relevant affairs in the southwest to him to deal with, but Ma Yuanheng or Ma Rong and others really wanted to strongly oppose it, and finally handed the matter to Jiedu to make Ma Yin decide.

"Han Daoxun's father and son are deeply scheming, and it is not easy to snoop, but they are the Marquis of Linjiang to plot the Dragon Bird Army, and they can hide from the sky and the sea under the nose of Anning Palace, based on this calculation alone, we can't overestimate his father and son,"

Wen Ruilin has lived in Qianyang secretly for more than half a month, although the intentions of Han Daoxun, Han Qian's father and son in Xuzhou are clear, and it seems to be the same as what they said when they met in Yuezhou Waijiang, but when Wen Ruilin wanted to see the overall situation, he found a sea of clouds, mountains and fog.

This made Wen Ruilin, who thought highly of himself, also feel frightened step by step.

No matter what the attitude of Ma Yuanheng, Ma Rong and others, he insisted on his own views from the beginning and persuaded the son of Ma to follow the path.

"Do you want to guard against Han Daoxun, Han Qian's father and son?"

"Chestnut in the fire? Is Mr. Wen saying that Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son have the intention of separating Xuzhou? ”

Ma Yuanheng couldn't help laughing and said,

"Since ancient times, who can deliberately stir up the situation so much and then go to the fire? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Han Daoxun's father and son keep the Xi family daughter by their side, they have the intention of gathering the remnants of the Xi clan, and the four surnames have no intention of stopping it, but two or three thousand Xi clan remnants, but three or five hundred brave, why should they be in front of Tanzhou, which has two million Dingkou? ”

"Do you know that Han Daoxun's father and son were not ordered by Yang Mi to lure Tanzhou to go to Tibet?" Wen Ruilin said-for-tat.

Wen Ruilin said this, and Ma Yuanheng was also speechless, which was difficult to refute.

"It is true that the Han family father and son may have ambitions, but they are really like the smart people that Mr. Wen said, they should know that without the corresponding strength, excessive ambition is just a way to bring about their own destruction—as for whether it will be Jinling's intention to make Han Daoxun's father and son set a trap, there is no need to worry too much. The situation facing Jinling is already chaotic enough, so why bother to make a branch in the west? Ma Rong cleared his throat and said.

Ma Rong is not only a core member of the Ma family, as Sima of Langzhou, he is in charge of Langzhou Bingcao, the state camp and the state prison, etc., and he really wants to block the passage from Yuanshui to Xuzhou, and he will implement it, but he also feels that Wen Ruilin is a little frightened by the enemy at this time.

Whether Han Daoxun's father and son have ambitions, Ma Rong is hard to say, but he thinks that as long as they are people, it is normal to be ambitious, and anyone here, who does not have a little ambition and extravagance, is it difficult that they can't be used?

As for whether it was deliberately designed by Jinling, Ma Rong also felt that Wen Ruilin was too worried, Jinling at this time should be on guard against chaos here, how could he do everything possible to lure this side into chaos?

Could it be that the situation in Jinling has been controlled in other directions, and the internal disputes are all fake, so at this time can we free up our hands to solve the problem in Tanzhou?

If this is the case, then no matter what, if Tanzhou doesn't want everyone to obediently accept Jinling's arrangement, and the military and political power is completely taken over by Jinling, it will have to struggle for a while.

Ma Rong continued:

"There is no fear of the enemy's strength in the world, and the truth of cutting off one's siblings, not to mention that the Han family's father and son are friends and enemies, it is too early to say. More importantly, even if there will be chaos in Jinling, it is likely that the timing will not last long, and we cannot afford to forge ahead now. ”

In addition to Ma Xun, the prince of the world, Ma Rong and Ma Yuanheng were the most important, they all said so, Wen Ruilin thought to himself that the prince might not hand this matter to the Jiedu envoy, and he would make a decision, right?

Wen Ruilin thought in his heart, maybe it's too complicated for himself, if he can't understand it, maybe the simplest and most direct is the truth?

"What should we do as my uncle sees it?" Ma Xun looked at Ma Rong and asked.

"In the name of the Qianjiang Inn, I will lend five hundred cakes of gold to Han Qian, and see if he dares to issue a receipt and accept the money," Ma Rong made a suggestion to Ma Xun, looked at Wen Ruilin again, and asked, "What does Mr. Wen think?" ”

Wen Ruilin knew that Ma Rong was born as a military general, and he had enterprising ambitions, and he didn't like to shrink his head and didn't dare to do anything, but he also had to admit that it was more prudent to test it with gold cakes first.

Five hundred loaves of gold, which is equivalent to six million denarii.

A restaurant inn that accommodates the peddlers' pawns to rest, if they take out this huge amount of money and hand it over to Han Qian in the name of a loan, in exchange for the convenience of building an embankment outside Qianyang City, the ghost can guess where the money comes from.

After Han Daoxun, Han Qian's father and son received this money, if there was no movement on the Jinling side, and the Chu soldiers east of Yuezhou were not mobilized, and Han Daoxun and his son really acquiesced to sending hundreds or even thousands of soldiers and some of their families to Xuzhou, in the name of reclamation, on the bank of Yuanshui, choose two or three key places, and settle down first, then at least there is no need to worry about this being a trap set by Jinling.

And in the future, they will be able to have two or three thousand directly controlled forces in the heart of Xuzhou, and they are really not afraid that Xuzhou will be able to fly out of the palm of their hands, and Chenzhou, which is sandwiched between Langzhou and Xuzhou, how can they be alone and get out of the control of Tanzhou?

In this way, it will open up a deep hinterland of six or seven hundred miles along the Yuanshui River and to the southwest for Tanzhou, and it will be better to extend its influence to the old county of Qianzhong through Xuzhou, which is definitely better than waiting for the change in Jinling to solve the problem of Chenxu Prefecture.

Even if the time comes, it is very likely that the forces of the native surname will choose to wait and see and will not threaten the flank of Tanzhou, but Tanzhou should not think of being able to draw manpower and material resources from these places in a hurry.

How long does the Jinling chaos last, Tanzhou can still calmly rectify the southern Hunan states, if the time of the Jinling chaos is very short, and even after the death of Emperor Tianyou, his son succeeds to the throne, and the foreign relative Xu is in peace and keeps to himself, or is it that the foreign relative Xu is determined to solve the threat of Tanzhou before the change of dynasty, Tanzhou does not have a stable, deep rear, and then it will not be stupid?

However, what Wen Ruilin is worried about, even if Han Daoxun's father and son are selfish, they are so deployed in Xuzhou, but the deployment of Han Daoxun's father and son, even if they can hide from Jinling, Anning Palace and their relatives Xu's family, can they hide from Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, who jointly supported the three princes with them?

At that time, what will Han Daoxun and his son do to persuade the rest of the Linjiang Hou family to support them to do this in Xuzhou?

Or maybe the three princes can sacrifice the interests west of Jinghu Lake in order to compete for succession?

This is what Wen Ruilin can't understand the most, but he also knows that in the eyes of Ma Rong, Ma Yuanheng and others, Han Daoxun's father and son may be very powerful, but at this time, they are not qualified to become their key opponents......
