"Your Majesty, Guazhou is really rich, this money village has only been opened for less than half a month, and Guazhou money village has returned more than 100,000 taels of gold and more than 500,000 taels of silver, which is this a small border town? have caught up with the original Central Plains province. In the Chang'an Imperial Palace, Cen Tianshi held up the report sent back by Tuoba Sizhi and laughed, this is still most of the merchants have not accepted Tang coins, if Tang coins are fully rolled out, then I am afraid there are more gold and silver to dig up. This is undoubtedly even more important for those who are already planning to build a larger circle of Tang coin users.

"I heard that the Yelu family did a good job this time, and that Yeluqi seems to be a manufacturable material." Li Xuanqing looked at the political report sent from the northwest and said with a smile: "However, this time, all the methods for dealing with religion in Guazhou have been sent back, and your cabinet should carefully study it to provide a reference for carrying out similar actions in the mainland in the future." ”

"The emperor can rest assured, I have arranged for the cabinet commissioner to conduct research, and then after the New Year, the Guanzhong region will be promoted and piloted, which is an important place in Gyeonggi, and there is a strong suppression by the central guard force, and more importantly, the emperor is in charge of Chang'an, which will inevitably make the major religious elements dare not make any changes." Cen Tianshi's words were interrupted by Li Xuanqing before he finished speaking, "Mr. Cen has also begun to learn to brag and flatter?" ”

"I heard that Xiao Si is already preparing to act? It's almost the end of the year, and he doesn't plan to go to the Western Regions, right? Cen Tianshi took back the information sent back from the northwest in his hand, and said with a smile: "I plan to let him be a matchmaker for Tiancheng and them with me during the Chinese New Year this year, he can't run away, I heard that Hou Yong, the stinky boy, has also found a partner." ”

This incident surprised Li Xuanqing very much, and said with a smile: "This matter is a good thing, Xiao Si will not go to the northwest, but the northwest side is estimated to be divided before the year, we have been there for so long, if we can't complete this task, Xuan Yingwei's face will be lost." ”

Cen Tianshi nodded, he also knew a lot about things in the northwest, Xuan Yingwei arranged a complete funeral for the Guiyi army, but the power of the Han people in the northwest was at the last moment, but whether it could perfectly withdraw from the historical stage depends on the choice of the sandbank. Some people have some things that they can't make decisions from the perspective of spectators.

However, when Li Xuanqing and Cen Tianshi in Chang'an were discussing the Guiyi Army, Zhao Si, who was in the center of the Guiyi Army in Shazhou, also completed the last link, and when he informed Su Xiaohu to postpone his trip to Shazhou, he had already changed his original intention and the strategy he adopted began to change.

"Go and inform it, let Xuan Yingwei act immediately, we should also send a New Year's gift to the emperor, and give the Guiyi Army a proper funeral." Zhao Si waved his hand to make the dragon group standing by behind him immediately dispatch, and the sky on the sandbank also began to change from this moment.

However, the situation in Shazhou at this time has indeed reached the most delicate moment, under the persuasion of Li Yichang, Zhang Chaofeng released Cao Rengui's family, but for some reason, the surveillance of the Cao family has been strengthened, although Cao Rengui's position has been restored, but Li Yichang found that these two people have not been in the same state since this incident. Zhang Chaofeng's actions Li Yichang is naturally clear, but what he doesn't understand is why Zhang Chaofeng is doing this, although he sent a large number of spies to Guazhou, but the news brought back by these spies is either insignificant, or the Guazhou side has already taken the lead when the news arrives on the sandbank, and the new household registration plan implemented in Guazhou is too convenient for the screening of outsiders, and there is no dead end at all. Even the news brought back by the Shazhou spies Li Yichang thought that it was deliberately put to himself.

However, Li Yichang's energy is not on the side of Guazhou now, since he knows the general action of Guazhou's reform, he understands the other party's thoughts, this is using a soft knife to cut meat, Guazhou's various policies are only afraid that it has now extended to the side of the sandbank, and the other party's intelligence organization must have established countless strongholds all over the sandbar now, affecting the people's hearts of the sandbar all the time. At this time, the Guiyi army was suspicious and fearful, and the disaster of breaking the door was just around the corner. After thinking of this, Li Yichang thought about what Cao Rengui had done since he came out, and he was suddenly surprised. After Cao Rengui came out, he ignored the surveillance of his family, and single-mindedly began to win over the surrounding Uighurs and Tibetans, preparing for them to send troops to assist the Guiyi army to deal with the pressing of the Tiance army. But if these things are not a problem in normal times, Cao Rengui was doing these things before, but if Cao Rengui and Zhang Chaofeng are not in harmony at this time, then Cao Rengui's move is too big a threat to Zhang Chaofeng, which is equivalent to holding the largest reinforcement of the Guiyi Army in Cao Rengui's hands.

This made Li Yichang almost restless during this time, but he had no way to break this matter to Zhang Chaofeng, if Zhang Chaofeng had this kind of thought about Cao Rengui again, then the Guiyi Army was afraid that it would fall apart in an instant. It's just that what Li Yichang doesn't know is that he is not the only one who has seen these things, and a group of people are also staring at this, and even in this case, they are still manipulating it many times, an invisible net was successfully laid on the sandbar by Zhao Si for nearly two months, and with the entry of Su Xiaohu's Flying Eagle Brigade, the time to close the net is approaching. When Su Xiaohu arrived at Shazhou, the first task he received was to provoke Zhang Chaofeng's nerves and help Zhang Chaofeng understand what Cao Rengui had done during this time.

In fact, I am very curious about Cao Rengui and Zhao Si, this is a typical character in troubled times, with means and scheming, if there is anything missing, it is that military talent is relatively poor, and he is not very good at fighting. However, this also depends on who to fight, and if you fight with the group of ruffians of the Tiance Army who almost have a complete military training system, you will naturally not be able to beat it, but it is not much of a problem to deal with Zhang Chaofeng and other generals of the Guiyi Army. However, what Zhao Si was most curious about was that Cao Rengui had dealings with almost all the tribes around the sandbank, and the previous Gaochang Uighurs were also invited by Cao Rengui to deal with the Tiance army. This time, the Guiyi army was defeated in Guazhou, and after Cao Rengui was released from prison, he contacted the two Uighurs of Gaochang and Anxi again, and according to the news heard by the secret guards placed by Xuanyingwei in their mission, the Anxi Uighurs, who had not moved before, were also persuaded this time. It's just that according to the secret guard, the Anxi Uighurs were only afraid that they were not persuaded to come to help the Guiyi army, and there was even news that they were involved in interfering in the internal affairs of the Guiyi army. And what Zhao Si did at this time was to stab this matter to Zhang Chaofeng.

Zhao Si's plan is basically one ring after another, after Su Xiaohu received the plan to start arranging the people who leaked the news to Zhang Chaofeng in Datun City, Zhao Si's side arranged for the rest of the Flying Eagle Brigade to arrange a tight net in Shazhou City, and along this big net, Zhao Si even summoned the Guazhou side, ordering the Anxi Battalion to secretly lurk on the border of the two states, to respond at any time, and let Tuoba Siji and Wan Yi prepare for the Shazhou coup, which is also the reason why Wan Yi secretly returned after the religious incident in Guazhou was quelled.

However, Zhao Si didn't have a good way to deal with Li Yichang, he understood Cao Rengui's movements, but he didn't tell Zhang Chaofeng that it was naturally for the sake of the future of the Guiyi Army, but in Zhao Si's plan, this became his fatal weakness, according to Zhang Chaofeng's current mentality, in addition to the Zhang clan, the most trusted is Li Yichang's teacher, if he knew that his mentor knew that his courtiers had not been subordinate but did not report to himself, Then the truth in this, according to Zhang Chaofeng's thinking, I am afraid that he will immediately turn his face with Li Yichang.

This is the reason why Zhao Si can't make up his mind, in Zhao Si's opinion, Li Yichang is actually very capable, the current grim situation of Shazhou is not so much that Zhang Chaofeng is at the helm but that Li Yichang is working hard, after the defeat of the Guiyi Army in Guazhou, it will be a large-scale sign of young and middle-aged people joining the army, and heavy taxes will be levied, and the people will not be able to make a living, in fact, Shazhou is now a tight string, and this string is Li Yichang is trying to maintain. If Li Yichang has an accident or does not return to the Tang Dynasty like Zhao Si, then the people who want to clean up this sandbar will only need to make great efforts.

However, with Su Xiaohu in place and the secret guards arranged by Datun City leaking the news to Zhang Chaofeng's people, Zhao Si had no time to hesitate, so almost at the same time that Zhao Si asked the people of the Long Group to inform Zhang Chaofeng of this matter, Zhang Chaofeng's eyeliner on the Datun City side also rushed back to the sandbank to pass the news back.

However, Zhao Si belongs to the same type of person as Hu Xiaosi, and once the order is issued, he will have no distractions, so after the news on both sides is released, he immediately followed the third step, and the eyeliner arranged by Cao Rengui also appeared in his sight at the right time. The reason why the news on Cao Rengui's side is a little earlier is because Cao Rengui's current family is still under Zhang Chaofeng's monitoring, and if he is not given time, then he will not be able to compete with Zhang Chaofeng, who holds the power of the Guiyi Army, which is not in line with Zhao Si's plan.

It can be said that the purpose of Zhao Si's plan is to provoke the infighting and mutual suspicion of the three major figures in power in the Guiyi Army, designed from the perspective of people's hearts, there is no way to crack it, and even at this moment Zhao Si took the initiative to send this plan to Zhang Chaofeng, I am afraid that Zhang Chaofeng will not believe Cao Rengui and Li Yichang, many times people can not see their hearts clearly even if they see the situation clearly, once the suspicion is formed in their hearts, it will not linger for so long. This is the most powerful trick that Zhao Si has learned from Hu Xiaosi over the years. If you start from the heart of a person, then it is useless to conspire or conspiracy.

It's just that Zhao Si may not have discovered that the largest group in Shazhou began to drift towards the Tang Dynasty at the moment of the reform of Guazhou, and a large number of people in Guazhou were allocated fields and livestock when the Guiyi Army was rampant and grabbed strong men, even if there were no these, those big merchants in the city were also named by the policies of the Assassin's Mansion, and under the coercion, a large number of low-level slaves and miscellaneous servants became free people and signed a new employment contract with them under the supervision of the Assassin's Mansion. All benefits are also mandatory to be formulated in accordance with Datang's labor usage. Just by that, these people's treatment has jumped to the point where they can support themselves and support their families. The hope of this new life made these people not only become loyal supporters of the Tang Empire, but also spread the news to the people around them, and in two months, the news was even everywhere on the sandbank.

These have already made the hearts of the huge people at the bottom have long been in the heart of the Tang Empire, and they are even looking forward to the Guazhou side on the side to call as soon as possible. Zhao Si didn't take these things into account, although their Xuan Yingwei was also responsible for promoting the benefits of the Tang Empire to the people here on a daily basis, but the Xuanying Wei, who lived in the dark all year round, basically didn't consider this part without a formal order.

However, at present, although Zhao Si did not pay attention to this piece, but it did not affect the overall situation, with an order from Zhao Si's side, Cao Rengui's side almost did not hesitate to deploy a plan to protect his family after learning the news, and at the same time, Cao Rengui began to quickly send a message to the Anxi Uighurs, so that they could send troops as soon as possible, and even send light cavalry to meet them as soon as possible.

Cao Rengui's side almost did not hesitate to begin to arrange countermeasures, which also shows that Zhang Chaofeng was actually right in guessing, Cao Rengui was indeed prepared there, and the military generals who were originally interested in him also began to receive Cao Rengui's instructions one after another, secretly on guard, ready to break with Zhang Chaofeng at any time. And when Cao Rengui's side had finished making preparations, Zhang Chaofeng's side also received the news, and sure enough, Zhang Chaofeng was furious at the news of Cao Rengui's rebellion, but he did not hesitate at all, he was already suspicious of Cao Rengui, and this information was just a confirmation of what he thought, but then the information sent by the internal guard made him unable to hold back anymore, the information about Li Yichang.

Next, no matter how Zhang Chaofeng reacted, all of this had all fallen into Zhao Si's plan, and the three giants of the Guiyi Army were destined to turn against each other on the first day of the eleventh month of the third year of the Apocalypse. Zhang Chaofeng directly ordered Li Yichang to be put in prison, and arrested all Li Yichang's family members, and at the same time sent people to the Cao family's mansion to prepare for the arrest of the Cao family, and issued martial law to the Guiyi army.

Li Yichang was arrested so that Zhang Chaofeng had no doubt, but Cao Rengui and Cao's family accidentally slipped through the net, which brought the situation in Shazhou to the point of imminence. At this time, Zhao Si also issued the last order, all the arrangements of Xuan Yingwei in the city were also opened, and the Anxi camp also successfully sneaked into the city of Shazhou from the vicinity of the two states.
