Song Xuan's treasure naturally refers to coal, others may not know how rich the local resources are, isn't Wei Shuo still unclear?

Later, the news of spontaneous combustion of coalfields has been reported on the Internet many times, which shows how rich the local coal resources are. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The coal near Gaochang not only has many coal seams, large thickness and complete varieties, but also is shallow and easy to mine, which can be said to be another source of wealth given to Gaochang by God.

As soon as the coal was discovered, Wei Shuo immediately declared it officially owned in the name of the Taishou Mansion, and then sold most of it to major merchants through auction.

In October, with the harvest of kapok, cotton cloth began to flow into the market in large quantities, coupled with unique commodities such as roasted tea, briquettes, iron furnaces, etc., which made Gaochang attract frequent attention from the outside world, and many businessmen gathered in Gaochang.

However, Gaochang, who was getting better and better, gradually attracted the covetousness of the outside world, and in order to further befriend and appease Lu Guang, Wei Shuo had to go to Guzang again.

This time, he went specifically to give gifts, and hired more than a dozen carriages for this purpose, all loaded with gifts for Lu Guang and even his subordinates.

In order not to expose Gaochang's strength, Wei Shuo only brought 200 'veteran weak brigades' to escort Kang Long. Fortunately, he had already greeted Lu Guang before, and the government sent soldiers and horses to escort him along the way, otherwise he might not be able to send the gift to Guzang safely.

As soon as he entered the Yumen Pass, Wei Shuo clearly felt that people from all over Liangzhou were panicked, and they had not really surrendered to Lu Guang.

Even in June, Lü Guangqin led a large army to kill Zhang Dayu and quelled the rebellion of the remnants of Qianliang! However, the situation in Liangzhou has not stabilized because of this, but still gives people a sense of urgency that the storm is about to come.

Under the city of Dunhuang, Wei Shuo was warmly greeted by Meng Min, the Taishou of Dunhuang, Guo Qian, the protector of the army, and Suo Xian of Shazhou Zhizhong, and the three people in front of him were either officials appointed by the former Qin Dynasty, or they were born in a family, so they naturally did not like Lu Guang either.

After Lü Guang took charge of Liangzhou, except for a few county taishou close to Guzang who were replaced by his subordinates, the officials of the other remote counties had not yet had time to adjust. And this has caused the current dark tide to surge in various parts of Liangzhou, and a little Mars may cause violent turmoil.

After talking with Meng Min, Guo Qian, and Suo Xian, Wei Shuo also learned that the rebellion set off by Zhang Dayu had not been completely quelled, and the remnants of Wang Mu had fled to Jiankang County, east of Jiuquan County.

Knowing that Wang Mu was entrenched in Jiankang County, Wei Shuo said that he didn't dare to continue eastward, otherwise with the two hundred veterans in his hands, how could the weak brigade be the opponent of thousands of rebels? Gao Chang took great pains to raise these gifts, but he couldn't afford to cheapen a bunch of rebels.

Meng Min, Guo Qian and others also suggested that he wait for Zhang Ye Taishou Peng Huang to send a large army to meet him before setting off, so Wei Shuo lingered in Dunhuang for several days. During this period, although Wei Shuo had a very pleasant conversation with Meng Min, Guo Qian and others, because he was not from a big family, everyone seemed to be very enthusiastic about him, but they didn't take him to heart.

waited until the arrival of the Zhangye garrison that Wei Shuo said goodbye to the civil and military forces of Dunhuang and set foot on the road to the east again.

This time, with the protection of the army, there was almost no harassment along the way, and even the chaotic Jiuquan and Jiankang counties passed without danger.

It wasn't until he entered Zhangye Weishuo's hanging heart that he let go, and after Zhangye, he arrived in the core area of Liangzhou, which was a place controlled by Lu Guang, so he didn't have to worry about bandits and rebels.

In Zhangye, Wei Shuo met with the new Taishou Peng Huang, who was different from Meng Min and others before, who was one of the generals of the former Qin Western Expeditionary Army and had assisted Lü Guang in pacifying the Western Regions.

After seizing Liangzhou, Lü Guang rewarded his meritorious deeds and entrusted all his general-level subordinates such as Du Jin, Peng Huang, Jiang Fei, and Kang Sheng to important posts as a reward. Among them, Du Jin was appointed as Wuwei Taishou, Peng Huang was appointed as Zhangye Taishou, Kangsheng Brothers was appointed as Xiping Taishou, Jiang Fei was out of Jincheng, and the rest of the generals had their own rewards.

But after coming to Zhangye, Peng Huang's heart has obviously become bigger, and he is no longer satisfied with being a little Taishou, but is ambitious to replace Lu Guang.

Especially after the news of the death of the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian came in September, Lü Guangsui proclaimed himself the envoy, the servant, the governor of the Chinese and foreign capitals, the military of Longyou Hexi, the general, the pastor of Liangzhou, and the prince of Jiuquan!

This incident suddenly stimulated Peng Huang and made his ambition infinitely expand.

In his opinion, Lu Guang's achievements today are just the advantage of the Western Expeditionary Army, and he can capture Liangzhou like Peng Huang, and he is called a lonely widow.

Peng Huang stood at the head of the city, looking at the convoy that was gradually moving away, his eyes were hot, and he said secretly: "Hmph! Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will have to enter Guzang City, and let Gao Chang also pay some tribute, which is at least twice as large as Lu Guang. ”

After Zhangye Weishuo thanked Zhangye for guarding Peng Huang, he hurried to Guzang with the guards. It's just that he walked too hastily, but he didn't notice Peng Huang's greedy and eager eyes behind him.

After Zhangye, as it gets closer and closer to Guzang, the security is getting better and better!

And the local government knew that the carriage was loaded with gifts for the governor, so the local government sent elite escorts everywhere along the way.

It wasn't until mid-September that Wei Shuo finally arrived safely in Guzang, where he saw his teacher Du Jin and a young man of his twenties, seven or eight years old, standing by the city gate.

"Meet the teacher!" Wei Shuo quickly turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Du Jin, and fell to the ground.

"Naoyuan, please get up!"

Du Jin stepped forward to help Wei Shuo up, looked up and down again, and then smiled: "Well, yes, I'm energetic again!" ”

"General Du, isn't this brother in front of you the Wei Langjun that you and your father often talk about?"

When Wei Shuo was busy greeting Du Jin, the young man next to him suddenly interjected.

Wei Shuo turned his head and looked at the other party carefully, only to see that this person was very tall, with a square face, and was very burly, especially the slender and long eyes that shone finely, making people feel rough and shrewd.

"Isn't it Wei Shuo, I don't know who Your Excellency is?"

"Oh, sure enough, it's Wei Langjun, I heard that General Du accepted a young Junyan as an apprentice, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation! In Xia Lu Su, I saw Wei Langjun. ”

Lu Su! Wei Shuo's heart moved, but he replied quietly: "I don't deserve Lu Langjun's praise so much, it's just because of Du Shi's thin noodles that he has a little fame." ”

In history, Lu Su was not an ordinary person, he was the eldest son of Lu Guangshu, and he was also the most talented among Lu Guang's sons. When Lu Su was young, he was skilled in bowing and horses, liked eagles and hunting dogs, and did not like to read, but he was dedicated to making friends with princes and indulging in vocal music.

After the defeat of the Battle of Fujian and Weishui, Lü Su went west to Shangbang in the first year of Tai'an (386), transferred to Guzang, and defected to his father Lü Guang. Lü Guang was called the queen, and she was worshiped as the general of Wu Ben Zhonglang and was named the Duke of Taiyuan.

Later, Lü Guang was seriously ill, and Lü Su was appointed as a lieutenant and commanded the six armies to assist the prince Lü Shao.

However, soon after Lü Shao succeeded to the throne, Lü Su usurped the throne and became the monarch of Houliang by himself.

After becoming the monarch, Lü Su no longer lost his previous wisdom and wisdom, but indulged in hunting, indulged in alcohol, and was finally killed due to a coup d'état.

"Come on, let the teacher introduce you! This is the eldest son of the governor, who has just defected from Guanzhong. ”

Wei Shuo said solemnly: "It turns out that the son of Lord Dudu, Shuo is rude!" ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Su waved his hand indifferently and said: "Wei Langjun doesn't need to be polite, Master Du and his father are friends in the same roa, and they have been fighting together in the Western Regions and Liangzhou for many years. You and I should imitate our fathers, and we should be brothers in the future. ”

"Shuo Yijie is a poor family, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to be a brother and sister with such a noble son as Gongzi today, which really moved Shuo! Brother is above, please be worshiped by the younger brother! ”

Looking at Wei Shuo, who was 'sincerely' bowing to the ground, the smile on Lu Su's face became more and more cordial. Today, he asked for the important task of welcoming the envoy of Gaochang from his father, wasn't it just to win over Du Jin and Wei Shuo's apprentices?

It turned out that with the recent defection of more and more children of the Lu family to Lu Guang, there was a fierce struggle for power. Among them, Lü Su was the most ambitious, he was bent on mastering military power, and then made contributions on the battlefield to prepare for taking over Lü Guang's position in the future.

However, at present, most of the military power in Liangzhou is concentrated in the hands of Lü Guang and his subordinates, and even if Lü Su is Lü Guang's son, if there is no justifiable reason or credit, Lü Guang cannot forcibly grant military power to his son.

As a last resort, Lu Su put down his figure, so he had to keep forgetting to win over and show favor to the generals of the former Western Expeditionary Army, such as Du Jin, Jiang Fei, Kang Sheng, etc., hoping that the generals could make some concessions.

However, in view of the fact that the generals attached great importance to military power and were unwilling to allow others to get involved, Lü Su's wooing was not successful.
