After Wu Yanyi and his entourage arrived in Dayu County, they were still warmly received by the local county officials. From then on, go up the mountain and cross the Dayu Ridge, and naturally arrive at Lingnan.

At that time, many Lingnan people who wanted independence used heavy troops to blockade Wuling (Yuecheng Ridge, Du Pang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge, Qitian Ridge, and Da Yu Ridge) and turned Lingnan into an independent kingdom. It can be seen that the topography of Wuling is very dangerous.

Those officials told Wu Yanzhi. During this time, the three families of Feng, Wei, and Mai were preparing to fight for the copper resources near Cen Shui! They must be careful.

Although Yao Kuan and Yufei were strong in martial arts, they were a little worried when they heard that they each had a team of thousands of people!

Wu Yanzhi asked: "Li County Order, isn't the Feng family's power in Gaozhou, Luozhou, and Yazhou south of Nanhai County?" Why did it expand to Shaozhou, which is close to the mainland? ”

Because before he came, he had inquired a long time ago and learned that the territory occupied by the Feng family (Feng An's descendants), the largest wealthy family in Lingnan, had nothing to do with Shaozhou, they were in more than a dozen states south of Guangzhou, including the entire territory of Hainan Island. Of course, this force is huge!

"Wu Shaoqing doesn't know! This is the marriage between the Feng family and the Mai family, a local wang family in Shaozhou, the year before last, and Feng Zichang was invited by the Mai family to Shaozhou to resist the power of the Wei family, but later the daughter of the Feng family died not long after marrying the Mai family.

The cause of death is very peculiar, Mai Jia said that he died of a sudden illness; And the Feng family suspected that it was Na Maxwen who was forced to die. So they were very dissatisfied, and turned to attack the Mai family, killing dozens of people in their family. A large copper mine was also robbed.

This led to the reuniting of the Mai and Wei families, who were originally enemies! Because they came, they were afraid that all the territory would be robbed by the Feng family! "Li County ordered the current situation of the three families.

The crowd shook their heads. Even Jiang Shipeng was reborn with anger when he heard it. He hurriedly said: "What about the history of the assassination?" And what about the governor of Guangzhou? It is his duty to crack down on local heroes, why does he turn a blind eye? Let the local heroes attack and let them sit big? ”

"Zheng Gong is a literati, indecisive, and cowardly, how dare he go against the three of them! As for the prince of Guangzhou, he is currently busy dealing with the rebellion of more than 20 indigenous families in Rongzhou, and this Feng family has no name of rebellion, so he naturally can't control it.

Besides, I heard that Zheng Gong actually has a very good relationship with the Wei family and the Mai family! ”

Li Xian Ling said this, and the others stopped talking. Most of them looked at Wu Yanzhi with their eyes, not knowing what his opinion was.

Because it is said that nine out of ten of the officials who come to Lingnan are greedy, and many of them are demeaning officials. Their main goal is to accumulate wealth, where will they think about the court and the common people?

When Wu Yanyi heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Maybe Zheng Tingshi is also an expedient measure!" Many officials dare not be enemies of the wealthy family! The wealthy families in Lingnan are especially different and have great influence. I'll find out more when I talk to him about it! ”

……

In the evening, Wu Yanzhi discussed with Qi Xuan and Jiang Shipeng about the relationship between the three families.

Jiang Shipeng said: "According to the humble position, this Feng family actually expanded its power to Shaozhou, and it must be severely cracked down on and ordered to retreat to the original place.

For the Wei family and the Mai family, they can't be soft, they must demarcate the territory, and they must not be exceeded! Otherwise, it will be punished severely! ”

Jiang Shipeng had already seen Wu Yanzhi's way of doing things, and he also began to suggest the use of thunderbolt methods.

Wu Yanzhi asked Qi Xuan's opinion again.

Qi Xuan said: "I generally agree with Secretary Jiang's opinion!" However, he still thought that it would be difficult to fully estimate the difficulty of ordering Feng to return to Gaozhou! I heard that this Feng Zichang is extremely cunning, greedy, and very killing!

Wang Fangqing, the governor of Guangzhou, wanted to deal with him a lot, but he escaped. Now that the prince is far away in Rongzhou, he is naturally beyond the reach of the whip. In addition, he is about to leave office, so he can't control many things here.

Lingnan is so powerful that the Feng family is so powerful that he suggests finding a way to find a reason to arrest and kill him in order to deter Lingnan. Although the Lingnan Feng family is powerful, it is expected that they will not dare to be enemies of the Great Zhou. In this way, not only Lingnan is at peace, but also the prestige of Duke Wu in the imperial court will also increase several times in an instant! ”

"Slash? How easy is it to say? He brought more than 3,000 people with him! Do we have any soldiers here! It was half of the garrison in Guangzhou, and it was also transferred to Rongzhou by Wang Dudu.

The rest of the people still have to maintain order in Guangzhou! There are 150,000 foreigners there alone, and without a few thousand garrisons, it is difficult to stabilize the situation! Jiang Shipeng said gloomily.

"What's so hard about that? We can first adopt a policy of contempt and high-pressure against all three of them, and try our best to suppress them! Kill him three families and a group of lawbreakers.

Then, according to the situation, give the Wei family or the Mai family a little benefit to them, and they will definitely be grateful to Duke Wu, and they will try their best to obey Duke Wu's dispatch.

We ask them to fight Feng again! In this way, they will lose both! We can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Then demarcate the red line range for their Wei and Mai families, and demarcate them in a certain area, so that Shaozhou will be safe. The copper, lead, zinc and other things here are bound to all belong to the imperial court. ”

"Good! Both of you agree with me. I think that at the end of this plan, there is another article, which is to use Feng Zichang to obtain the greatest benefits......" Wu Yanzhi said slowly.

"Wu Gong's plan is excellent!" The two of them listened to Wu Yanzhi's introduction and agreed with this suggestion very much!

Wu Yanyi thought, although he only has more than thirty people, he is not their opponent? However, as long as they make an example of a hundred and capture the thief and the king, none of them dare or have the ability to confront their own Qincha!

……

Early in the morning of the second day, bidding farewell to Li County, who was ten miles away, everyone slowly climbed up the rugged Dayu Mountain along the official road.

The path they took was, of course, the traditional Yuling Fortress, which was built by General Yusheng during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was also named after him.

The road was rough, and the people walked very hard. Fortunately, there was a post station in the mountain, and everyone rested in the mountain for a night before leaving the mountain.

Wu Yanzhi thought, the road to this big Yu Mountain is too difficult to walk. We had to find a way to get some money from the local big families and get people to build a wider road. It shouldn't be long, if the mountain is opened, it is estimated that thirty or fifty days will be enough, and there is no need to go around a hundred miles like now.

After walking for more than three hours, it was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that I arrived at a very large wine shop twenty miles away from Zhenchang County.

The big man in the wine shop came to see him, and although he was a little late, he was still busy making lunch.

But he said that the group had just sat down to rest for less than a quarter of an hour, and the meal was far from being ready, and a team of more than 50 people came outside.

At the head was a stout man in his forties with a full beard, dressed in leather armor, and there was another person in leather armor behind his expression.

The people who followed were all dressed in blue. Wu Yanzhi thought in his heart, these people don't know which family's private soldiers they are?

However, this liquor shop of this scale must have been opened by a big family in this county, and they must be very familiar with each other. Wu Yanzhi suddenly remembered one thing, and said to Jiang Shipeng: "Secretary Jiang, go, go to the house and talk about something!" ”

And they went into the house.

After the man came in, he called Zhang Song, the person in charge of the wine shop, over: "Zhang Song, isn't Mai Saburo here today?" ”

Zhang Song took a look, how did this black evil star come? Didn't you say that you were sent to Sixing County to run a copper field?
