After Lu Xun and Sun Tai were defeated from Huiji, they had to flee to Lingnan to avoid being pursued by the Beifu soldiers.

At the beginning, Sun Tai adopted Xu Daofu's suggestion and sent troops to attack Lingnan, originally to seek a way out for the Heavenly Master, but now it is just being used.

Xu Daofu lived up to expectations, and his troops first captured Panyu and held on to Wu Yinzhi, the assassin of Guangzhou.

Later, he sent troops to attack the state of Sixing (now south of Shaoguan, Guangdong), and invaded the city, detaining the prime minister of Sixing.

By the time Sun Tai and Lu Xun fled, Xu Daofu had almost occupied the entire Guangzhou.

In view of the fiasco in the southeast and the heavy losses of the Heavenly Master Dao, after Sun Tai came to Guangzhou, he discussed with Lu Xun and Xu Dao.

Everyone unanimously decided to endure the humiliation and wait for the opportunity.

Next, the Heavenly Master Dao only cares about recuperating and recuperating, and does not conflict with Beifu for the time being.

At this time, the top and bottom of Beifu were also rested due to the war, and Liu Yu was busy rectifying the order in the southeast, and he had no energy to take care of the rebels of the Heavenly Master Dao.

As a result, the Heavenly Master Dao unexpectedly got a chance to survive and develop in Lingnan.

Just when the heavenly master was hiding in Lingnan and carefully accumulating strength, the imperial court summoned the holy decree to Guangzhou.

In Panyu City, Sun Tai, Lu Xun, and Xu Daofu all twisted their eyebrows slightly, and their eyes all fell on the holy decree on the case.

Huan Xuan acted very generously, not only appointing Sun Tai as the assassin of Guangzhou, but also making Lu Xun the prime minister of Shixing, and Xu Dao as the governor of Nanhai County.

And the reason why the three of them were moved was not because they had obtained these official positions, but because the situation forced them to accept the appeasement.

However, Sun Tai did not know how to explain it to the believers, for fear that it would cause confusion in the minds of the believers.

After a long time, Xu Daofu sighed helplessly: "Since ancient times, those who can compromise and endure humiliation are all husbands. ”

"Right now, we have a firm foothold, so we have to bow to Huan Xuan."

"But in the future, we will prove to all believers that today's compromises are all for a better tomorrow."

Lu Xun nodded and agreed: "What Dao Fu said is very true, Huan Xuan appeased me and others, and it was clearly to deal with Liu Yu. ”

"But for the Heavenly Master Dao, isn't it a chance to recuperate?"

"With this official position, you and I can be regarded as ministers in the same palace as Liu Yu."

"As long as we don't take the initiative to cause trouble, the Beifu soldiers can't come over to fight us."

As for how to explain it to believers...... It's up to the Heavenly Master, your old man, to come out personally. ”

"Okay, leave this matter to the poor road." Sun Taiqiang said energetically.

"Next, as long as we firmly occupy Guangzhou, with the Lingnan Mountains, it will not be so easy for outsiders to break in."

"After making peace with the imperial court, we can use local specialties to purchase materials from outside to develop and strengthen ourselves."

"And Poor Dao thinks that Huan Xuan is ambitious and will definitely not be satisfied with the status quo, and he will definitely follow his father's actions of practicing Zen."

"And Liu Yu is also ambitious, and the day when Nanjun Gong performs Zen will be the time for Liu Yu to raise his army."

"If the situation really develops like that in the future, we will simply respond to Liu Yu."

"While Liu Yu went north to Jiankang and Huan Xuan to fight for power, we sent troops to take Xiangzhou first, and then attack Jingjiang Erzhou."

"After Liu Yu pacifies Huan Xuan, I am afraid that you and I will occupy half of Jiangdong, and then we will fight Liu Yu to the death to avenge the shame of the defeat of Huiji."

"Hahaha, what the Tao said is insightful!"

Sun Tai, Xu Daofu, and Lu Xun suddenly laughed, and finally swept away the haze of grievances recently.

……

At Liu Muzhi's suggestion, Wei Shuo decided to lease Yuzhou Island to the imperial court to facilitate the landing of sailors and communicate with Yizhou Island.

In November, not long after the imperial court issued an order to reward the generals of Beifu, King Yong entered Jiankang.

Bian Fanzhi and Huan Qian didn't dare to specialize, so they had to be sent to their aunts for disposal.

On the Nanjun Mansion, Huan Xuan reclined on the seat, holding the Hexi Song fold in his hand, and looked at Wang Mi and the others with wide eyes.

"Lease Yuju Island? What does Naogen want to do? ”

"This ...... Nanjun Gong knows that Hexi has a fleet of sailors overseas? Wang Mi asked thoughtfully.

"Know! Didn't he help Liu Yu cross the bay at the beginning, so that the Beifu surprise attack on Yuyao was successful. ”

"But Nanjun Gong probably doesn't know that Hexi has occupied Yizhou Island overseas."

"What? Occupy Yizhou Island? When was this? Huan Xuan said with a shocked face.

"No one knows exactly when it happened, but for now it is said that Hexi has established itself on the island."

"But what does this lease Yuzhou have to do with it?" Huan Xuan was puzzled.

To be honest, Huan Xuan doesn't care about Yizhou Island or not.

Of course, not only Huan Xuan, but also other courtiers didn't care.

But Yuzhou Island is different, Yuzhou Island belongs to the territory under the rule of the imperial court, and there are people living on it.

Historically, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, each Southern Dynasties also had state and county offices on Yuzhou Island.

Without a valid reason, who would dare to easily lease the imperial court's territory to foreign vassal forces?

"Taiwei doesn't know that Yizhou is isolated overseas, and there is no direct connection with Hexi."

"I think King Yong was worried about changes over time, so he proposed to the imperial court to lease Yuzhou, so as to communicate with Yizhou."

"Hmm~ I see!"

Huan Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Then wait and say, should the imperial court rent it to Hexi?" ”

"This ......"

The ministers stared at each other with wide eyes, and no one made a statement lightly.

Leasing land is unheard of, and it is difficult to predict what the pros and cons will be.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Huan Xuan frowned and was about to get angry, but he saw Yin Zhongwen secretly winking at him.

Huan Xuan comprehended, forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and waved his hand: "Except for Zhongwen, you all go down." ”

After everyone left, Huan Xuan asked, "Say, what did you mean just now?" ”

"Hey, hey! Weichen has a few private words that he wants to tell the captain. ”

"Don't beat around the bush and get straight to the point."

"No!"

Yin Zhongwen hurriedly put away his smiling face and said solemnly: "The minister thinks that renting Yuzhou to Hexi is beneficial to you. ”

"Oh? Is it? How? ”

"Look, my lord, let's not mention the 50,000 yuan lease fee that year, just the location of Yuzhou is very crucial."

"It happens to be located in the east of Xuzhou, and Taiwei said, if there is Yuzhou in Hexi, who is the most nervous?"

"Liu Yu?" Huan Xuan said uncertainly.

"The captain is really wise, in a word." Yin Zhongwen flattered.

"Xuzhou is not only the old nest of Beifu, but also the hometown of Liu Yu."

"Whether it is the generals of Beifu or Liu Yu himself, he definitely does not want outsiders to interfere in Xuzhou."

"And you lease Yuzhou to Hexi, which is equivalent to burying hidden dangers between Hexi and Beifu."

"I may not see much now, but it's hard to say in the future."

"In addition, you also get 50,000 yuan in rent for nothing, where can you find such a good thing?"

"50,000 guan is not too much, less is not too much, and it can solve big problems if it is used well."

"Well, that's a good point!"

"What if it's criticized by the outside world?" Huan Xuan said worriedly.

"Simple! Before you lease Yuzhou to Hexi, you might as well ask Liu Yu, the pastor of Xuzhou, first. ”

"As long as Liu Yu has no opinion, what can others do?"

"That's right! Yuzhou Island is under the jurisdiction of Liu Yu, as long as he has no opinion, others naturally don't need to pay attention to it. ”

"In this way, even if Liu Yu is dissatisfied, he will only go to King Yong, and it has nothing to do with his father."

"Wonderful! Wonderful! It's wonderful! ”

The more Huan Xuan pondered, the more excited he became, and immediately ordered Yin Zhongwen to go southeast and ask Liu Yu's opinion.

As Yin Zhongwen expected, Liu Yu was full of wariness of Hexi's lease of Yuzhou Island, but he did not dare to publicly refuse.

At present, Liu Yu is busy rectifying the southeast and urgently needs to trade with Hexi.

If you make King Yong unhappy because of this, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.

However, Liu Yu knew that Hexi's lease of Yuzhou Island would pose a great threat to Xuzhou, because he knew that the Hexi Naval Division was powerful.

After thinking about it, Liu Yusi finally agreed to Hexi's request, but he immediately ordered the formation of the Beifu Water Division.

The successful rental of Yuzhou Island made Wei Shuo very happy.

He immediately sent men to the island to prepare for the construction of a pier and a port.

At the same time, Wei Shuo also gave an order to the sailor to send a fleet to Yuzhou to station.

Hexi leased Yuzhou Island, not only Liu Yu felt threatened, but even Nanyan Murong De was restless.

Because Hexi had also discussed with Nanyan about leasing the port before, but was sternly rejected by Murong De.

Originally, he thought that this matter was over, but unexpectedly, Hexi rented it from Jiangdong to Yuzhou.

In this way, Nanyan will be directly threatened by Hexi, which is very unfavorable to Murong De's uncle and nephew.

But now it was too late to say anything, and Murong De had no choice but to strengthen the defense along the southeast coast.
