Zhang Zhenzhou went north after spending the New Year in Yong'an County, and stayed in his hometown of Tong'an County for more than a month before entering Beijing. When the ten-mile pavilion greets Zhang Zhenzhou, it is already fireworks in March, as far as the eye can see, the inside and outside of the pavilion, the two sides of the road are full of flowers, and the gorgeous and dazzling butterflies flutter among them, sometimes flying, sometimes staying; Birds are flying, singing countless songs, standing on the branches that give off new shoots with enthusiasm.

Du Yan smiled and said to Zhang Zhenzhou: "The Duke of Min has worked hard all the way, and the king of Yue has specially ordered the officials to wait here." ”

Du Yan This is a polite remark, the Ministry of Criminal Rites is still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the Duke of Shen, and his status is no worse than that of Zhang Zhenzhou, not to mention that among all the bigwigs, Du Yan and Yang Chong have the best personal relationship. Zhang Zhenzhou hurriedly said politely: "Lord Du is trying to kill me, Zhen Zhou has entered the dynasty and is not familiar with many things, and I hope that King Yue and Lord Du will give me more advice in the future." ”

Du Yan smiled and bowed his head, and said in a low voice: "Today happens to be the departure of Yang Zhengdao, the king of Qi, from Chang'an, so Master Cui Zhizhi Cui and they went to the north gate to see them off. ”

Zhang Zhenzhou knew that Chang'an had fought hard for Yang Zhengdao's matter, and he was stranded in his hometown to avoid it, but he didn't expect that Yang Zhengdao would leave when he arrived in Chang'an; Zhang Zhenzhou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't need to worry about this. Seeing Du Yan smiling meaningfully, Zhang Zhen thought that he didn't have a chance to annoy himself, as soon as he left from Tong'an County, he quickly reported to Chang'an, and the date of arrival could already be determined by the Ministry of Rites, Yang Zhengdao deliberately chose this day to go.

Zhang Zhenzhou asked knowingly: "Empress Xiao left together." ”

Du Yan shook his head and said: "Empress Xiao is old, I hope to be lively, I live in the Chu Palace, and Yang Ciyou accompanies Yang Zhengdao." ”

Zhang Zhenzhou had a trace of doubt in his heart, and discussed this matter with Zhuge Jiahui in Yong'an County, throughout the ages, the easiest way for this kind of thing is that Yang Chong directly called the emperor to change the dynasty, and Yang Zhengdao and others naturally became ordinary people. But Yang Chong completely did the opposite, and let Yang Zhengdao become the king, which increased the uncertain factor in the future, could it be that Yang Chong was really like the legend, and finally wanted to end the Shi clan, so he didn't care about jumping up and down in front of him.

Zhang Zhenzhou smiled and said: "In this way, the political hall has decided not to establish an emperor for the time being?" ”

"Exactly." Du Yan laughed and said: "How many people sigh for this, but King Yue has already decided that when Yang Zhengdao arrives in Yulin City and the court seals the king of Qi, another forty-six princes will be sealed, and twenty-four people will enter the Lingyan Pavilion." ”

Zhang Zhenzhou's heart moved, Yang Chong's move showed that the country name would not change again, and the world could rest assured, but this matter should not be determined at this time; The sun shone on the pavilion and on everyone, and a few geese swept through the sky, and the chirping of geese spread far away. Zhang Zhenzhou and Du Yan joined hands in Chang'an, and when they arrived at the political hall, they learned that Tan Dian, Feng Xuan, and Ning Daoming had killed Ning Chun, the county guard of Hepu County, and united in raising troops. With the cooperation of Ning Ju, Chen Longshu and others, Han Shige and Chen Zhiluo sent troops to attack in two ways.

Yang Chong set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Zhenzhou and said: "The battle of Lingnan is inevitable, this battle lies in the recovery of Jiapu County, if it goes well, the result can be obtained in a month." ”

Zhang Zhenzhou is also a battlefield general, so he naturally understands what Yang Chong means, if he doesn't go to war all the time, Feng Ang is likely to drag it out and not express his position, but as long as the fight starts, regardless of victory or defeat, Feng An's situation is like walking on thin ice. Han Shige won, and Hepu County will no longer be Feng An's; If Han Shige loses, Chang'an may send more troops.

Zhang Zhenzhou heard that Li Gongyan and Wei Shuhuan originally went to Lingnan to appease, but they were replaced by Zhang Yuan and Lin Du halfway through, that is, Ling Jing and Wang Xiong had the heart to make meritorious contributions, and they were not afraid of not fighting, but they were afraid that they would not fight. Zhang Zhenzhou wanted to persuade Yang Chong that it was useless to occupy the barren land in Lingnan, but thinking of the changes around Yong'an County, Zhang Zhenzhou still hid his words in his stomach.

In twenty days, the war in Lingnan has undergone fundamental changes, and the problem lies with Pang Xiaotai; For the benefit of the clansmen and Bentong, Pang Xiaotai did an undercover agent in Chang'an, and when Han Shige and Chen Zhiluo came to kill, he turned against him, Ning Daoming died in battle, Tan Dian, Feng Xuan were defeated, and lost four counties in a row.

Han Shige directly announced the establishment of Nanfu County, with Chen Longshu as the county guard; Nanning County was established, and Hongda was the county guard; Bailiang County was established, and Pang Xiaotai was the county guard; Songshou County was established, and Ning was appointed as the county guard. Ling Jing and Li Xizhi respectively sent letters urging Feng Ang to quell the rebellion, and the armies of Wang Xiongdan, Li Guangdu, and Murong Xixiong had been assembled; Feng Ang finally made a statement, escorted Yang Gongren, Yang Tong, Li Shenfu, Li Daoyan and others out of the country, handed them over to Wang Xiongdan, and sent his son Feng Zhidai to accompany Zhang Yuan to Chang'an to appeal the reason.

Rao is like this, Feng Ang is still a step slower, Li Guangdu took the opportunity to capture Yulin, Huaize, Yishan, Chaoshui and other places, contact Han Shige, and set up Yulin County; Ling Jing wrote to the imperial court and set up the Lingnan South Road Governor's Office in Nanfu, Nanning, Bailiang, Songshou, Yulin, and Shi'an counties. Fortunately, Han Shige and Wang Xiongdan agreed to strike the war, and everything waited for Chang'an's opinion; Before Li Xiaocha, Li Daoyan and others were all killed, Yang Gongren and Yang Tongli were sent to Beijing.

Feng Zhidai and Zhang Yuan did not dare to delay, and directly followed the 800-mile fast horse into Beijing, Wang Xiongdan and Ling Jing dared to kill prisoners and take risks, indicating that the Sui army was in a hurry, and only by getting the will of Chang'an one day earlier, could Lingnan be peaceful again. Feng Zhidai and the others hurriedly talked about the situation in the Ministry of Rites, and accompanied by Du Yan, they went to the Yue Palace, and the four bigwigs from the Privy Council and the Ministry of War were there, which made the Feng Zhiji brothers feel a little comforted.

Yang Chong is not to blame Wang Xiongtan for killing Li Xiaocha, Li Daoyan and others, even if he doesn't fight, this is also a prisoner forced by Wang Xiongdan's army, how to use it, Wang Xiongtan has absolute power. Yang Chong's headache was the six counties, to be honest, only Nanfu County and Shi'an County had made plans, and the others were not considered at all; But Han Shige had already announced that Yang Chong had to wipe his buttocks, and asked Zhang Zhenzhou and Meng Zhen to accompany the Feng Zhiji brothers to sit in the side hall for a while, and transfer all kinds of filings to see if they could come up with ideas.

Feng Zhidai was very strange, Feng Zhiqi smiled and said: "King Yue is not a person who is happy with his achievements, they need to make a deduction of the prospects of the six counties, you and Kuaiqi enter Beijing together, King Yue only thinks about it on the spot." ”

Fortunately, there are plans for Lingnan itself, and Ning's territory is close to the sea, including the later Qinzhou Port, where the original harbor for Feng Ang was located, except that the owner has changed, and the plan does not need to be moved; Bailiang County is on the edge of Songshou County, and the place is not big, so they will plan together. According to Zhang Yuanyuan, it is difficult to deal with the goods of Hongda and Li Guangdu, Yang Chong simply asked them to grow sugarcane, and Feng Ang didn't do it, so it was a big deal to open a sugar mill in Guangzhou.
