Enough, all of the people present are astute people, since Yang Chong didn't think that Wei Xuan would die in battle, Wei Xuan was nothing more than surrendering and fleeing, Wei Jie and other officials in Chang'an immediately thought of Yang Chong's recommendation of Li Jing; Li Weijie gasped, Yang Chong recommended Li Jinghe to help him, in fact, it meant to hold Chang'an, could it be that after Yang Xuangan and Xiang Haiming were defeated, there would still be people who would attack Chang'an, and they would definitely make a good deal with the third brother Li Jing when they went back.

Gu Yi and Yin Shi Shi were stunned for a while, Wei Jie and the others looked strange, and Yang Yu, the acting king, opened his eyes wide and swept around on the faces of Zhuge Ying and Wei Xuan; Surrendering and escaping are not glorious things, especially being so despised by a junior and an opponent, Wei Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "That's slander, no one will believe it." ”

Zhuge Ying laughed and said, "Gong Wei, a joke, aren't you afraid of people's words?" ”

It's really a dog that bites people and doesn't bark, Zhuge Ying can write articles at the age of eight, and at the age of fifteen he became the military officer of Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling in the Liang Dynasty. Wei Xuan, you said earlier that people are terrible, and now you are not afraid, at least it shows that you are a different person; Acting Wang Yang Yu almost laughed, this was the first time in several years that someone dared to tease Wei Xuan in person, and he was so successful.

However, Zhuge Ying's age and qualifications are there, and Wei Xuan can't get angry yet; Wei Jie and the others thought deeper, Yang Chong may not have written this in the letter, but after Zhuge Ying let out a bad breath, he saved some face for Wei Xuan, so he changed his words and said that it was a joke, so as not to turn the dinner into a dead end.

Li Weijie took the opportunity to finish Yu Zhongwen's secret letter in one go: "General Yu's meaning, only when the Central Plains is pacified, can Yang Chong's problem be solved, and now Yang Chong should be allowed to hold the west and continuously provide Chang'an with war horses and steel; General Yu resigned voluntarily, one is to bear the consequences of the trade war, and the other is to reassure Yang Chong, he estimates that if Yang Chong goes all out, the steel output in Hexi and the Western Regions can reach one million catties per year, or even higher. ”

Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment and asked Wei Xuan: "Duke Wei, Zhang Jin, they should only see the method of military training, but not the complete secret letter?" ”

Wei Xuan nodded and said, "No, there are some things that I am also very embarrassed about. The father and son of the Yu family do not approve of us obtaining Yang Chong's technology, and from another point of view, Yu Zhongwen also thinks a lot about Yang Chong. ”

Everyone disagreed, you Wei Xuan was just talking in Chang'an, Yu Zhongwen had to fight for Yang Chong's interests in the Western Regions, but also win over his generals and the aliens in various counties to attack Tuyuhun, and the expenses paid by Chang'an were only equivalent to the expenses of the counties of Longyou and peacetime; Yu Zhongwen didn't think about Yang Chong, and Yang Chong might turn his face with him. Yu Shinan asked, "If Yang Chong didn't control Hexi, how would you make Hexi work?" ”

"Use the method left by Yang Chong to select capable officials to govern." Wei Xuan didn't expect that it was Yu Shinan who asked such a question, and his answer was a little awkward; Yu Shinan thought about it and said: "I heard Lord He Chou guess that only Yang Chong has this kind of technology or equipment in Yang Chong's iron factory, so the output of Gaochang's iron factory fell immediately after Yang Chong let it out, and the output and quality of Yiwu's iron factory were not very good. According to the information of the household department, Hexi originally had to invest millions of yuan every year. ”

The more honest people talk, the more hurtful they are, Yu Shinan said to the point, Yang Chong's terrible lies in steel, Yang Chong's good situation is also in steel, replace Yang Chong, without steel, Hexi is still the original Hexi. The increase in food will sooner or later return to saturation with the migration of the population, and if it is not well governed, everything will be restored to its original state; The reason why Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, was still willing to test Yang Chong was because when the Central Plains was in turmoil, Hexi could no longer become a bottomless pit that devoured manpower and material resources.

Zhang Yuan agreed: "No matter what Yang Chong said, he still greatly supported the Holy Son of Heaven and Chang'an financially, and even took the initiative to bear part of the cost of attacking Tuyuhun, not to mention the resettlement of tens of thousands of displaced people. Wei Gong, do you have a plan that can be better than Yang Chong, otherwise once you take it, it will become a burden in Chang'an within a year, and as in the past, you need to take money to fill it continuously. ”

Wei Xuan was silent, the endgame of the trade war had not yet been resolved, no matter what, he didn't dare to say anything better than Yang Chong's governance in front of these people in front of him. Acting King Yang Yu gave Zhuge Ying another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhuge , please tell Chief Yang that this king believes in him and is willing to vouch for him, as long as he has no intention of rebelling." ”

Acting Wang Yang Yu's mother is the daughter of Wei Shou, the fourth son of Wei Xiaokuan, Wei Yuanzhao, the son of the third Wei Zong, and is now Yang Chong's subordinate and the county guard of the last county, and is most likely to succeed Yu Zhongwen as the deputy governor; Zhuge Ying drank the wine in the cup and said with a smile: "Yang Chong once talked about the prince and said that the prince has an extraordinary bearing, which is true. I will bring this sentence to Yang Chong, I hope he can surprise the prince. ”

Wei Jie and Wei Jin were overjoyed in their hearts, if Yang Chong could support Yang Yu, the acting king, even if Yang Guang, the son of heaven, was helpless to oppose it, and the big deal was to start a war; Zhang Yuan and Wei Xuan were frightened, Yang Chong now not only occupies Hexi and the Western Regions, but also has strong strength, and the mystery of his life experience came out with the five questions and answers of Lou Guan Dao, and countless versions were deduced out of thin air, which made people feel heart-wrenching and made more than a group of people unable to sleep at night.

Many people speculate that Yang Chong's identity is not simple. If Yang Chong is a child with no background, why should Zhuge He secretly adopt him, Zhuge He has no heirs himself, so he can take Yang Chong home, or let Yang Chong change his surname to Zhuge to teach what he has learned and pass on the ancestry; Zhuge He didn't do this, it was nothing more than Yang Chong's original identity, which made Zhuge He dispel his thoughts.

Zhuge He, as Zhuge Ying's eldest brother, it seems strange that he did not rely on his family background to be an official, but it is even more worth pondering if he has not married a wife and had children in his life, unless it is to keep a certain secret. There are only a handful of Yang surnames in the Great Sui who can make Zhuge He scruples, and Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, can't be counted, how confident Zhuge He is that he dares to accept Yu Wenkai as a disciple as a cloth cloth, and the most likely ones are Yang Yong and Yang Guang.

According to the time calculation, when Yang Chong was born, Yang Yong was in the middle of the day, and there was no need to consider leaving a back hand for himself, but Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was preparing to take the heir, and he may not leave a way out; The attitude of Yang Guang, the son of heaven, towards Yang Chong is also abnormal, why should he let a young man of unknown origin naturalize the Hongnong Yang family, and rise to the top in the officialdom step by step, resulting in the current situation.

Everyone was pondering separately, and an old man floated in, a scholar in cloth clothes, free and elegant; Zhuge Ying saw it and shouted: "Liu Xuan." ”
