Wang Huaqiang hooked the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "Hmph, this Yu Qingze is not hooking up with the wealthy businessmen in Guzang." The emperor asked him to come over to guard the border passes, and by the way, to deter these illegal profiteers in Liangzhou, he was good, and there was a nest of snakes and rats. ”

Changsun Sheng's brows also frowned slightly: "Yu Qingze also once sent an envoy to the Turks, when he forced Princess Dayi to change her name to her current name and canonized Sha Bolu Khan, he was the main envoy, I was the deputy envoy, at that time he was the right servant of Shangshu, in my impression, he was also a person dedicated to state affairs, I didn't expect him to accept bribes from these Guzang businessmen in Liangzhou and connived at their smuggling." ”

Wang Huaqiang said hatefully: "General Changsun, I am soft-spoken, and I can't speak in front of Gao Servant, this time after the incident, I will trouble you to go and talk to Gao Servant, you can't let this guy continue to stay in Liangzhou, otherwise something will happen sooner or later." ”

Changsun Sheng sighed: "Maybe Chief Yu was transferred from the position of prime minister to this side of Yuanliangzhou, and he was dissatisfied in his heart, I heard that the emperor was quite jealous of him, and this southern expedition did not let him lead troops to make meritorious contributions, so it is natural for him to have resentment in his heart."

Since there is no hope for the official career, it is normal for people to make more money for their children and grandchildren, after all, this is the Silk Road, and it is fat, as long as there is no big mess in the border defense, few people in the successive governors of Liangzhou can resist the bribes of the four major families. ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded, and suddenly thought of the agreement between Han Baohu and his own partnership, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, according to the agreement, after his 500,000 shares were shared, half of his business income would be shared with him, this time he went to the Turks, and he got more than 10 million at once, Han Baohu would know sooner or later that if he came to the door and asked for half of the money, he would have to lose a large piece of meat, which was a huge sum of five million!

Even if his 500,000 yuan has not yet been handed over to him, and he doesn't want more than 10 million yuan for the time being, but after his luxury manor is opened, his annual income will only be in the millions, and with the properties he has opened in other places, he seems to be losing a lot.

Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang's intestines were about to regret it, after He Ruobi and Han Baohu had a quarrel at the celebration night banquet, they were not rewarded for any position, and went home with the false titles of the two Shangzhu countries, but Wang Shiji was named the governor of Jingzhou and took office early.

I heard that there is now a slang leader Wang Zhongxuan in Lingnan who is making trouble, Wang Shiji has led the troops to pacify, it seems that the promotion of the official is just around the corner, although he has made meritorious contributions this time, but he wants to be promoted to revenge, I don't know when I have to wait, and I don't know if Han Baohu can continue to help him resist Wang Shiji's open guns and arrows after he retires and goes home.

Changsun Sheng saw Wang Huaqiang's silent appearance and asked, "Huaqiang, what did you think of again?" ”

Wang Huaqiang has been going back and forth between the Turks and Guzang in the past few months, and he can't even take care of his family's business, and he doesn't know anything about the recent situation in Daxing City. Is there anything big in the court? Chen Shubao and those ministers of Chen State, what news is there? ”

Changsun Sheng also knew that Wang Huaqiang had been closed to domestic news recently, so he smiled and said: "After General He and General Han destroyed Chen, their original positions of Wuzhou Governor and Luzhou Governor were also cancelled along with Marshal Zhengnan's Xingtai, and these two places were merged into the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion and under the jurisdiction of Yang Jun, the King of Qin.

The marshal of Zhengnan, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, still went back to his governor's mansion of Bingzhou, Huaqiang, we are brothers, you might as well tell sù you, the emperor originally intended to let the king of Jin be in charge of Yangzhou, but Gao Servant secretly participated in him, saying that as soon as he entered Jiankang, he wanted to get Zhang Lihua, the demon concubine of the country, so Long Yan was furious, and he did not have any reward for him, so he let him go back to Bingzhou as a punishment.

By the way, Hua Qiang, I remember that Zhang Lihua was killed by you. ”

Wang Huaqiang remembered the situation when he killed Zhang Lihua, and his heart was desolate: "Yes, I killed it with my own hands, what a poor woman." ”

Changsun Sheng shook his head: "Hongyan and trouble, this woman fascinated Chen Shubao, you must not enter my Great Sui, don't say that Lord Gao, it is Queen Dugu, she will kill her sooner or later, Hua Qiang doesn't have to feel guilty and sad about this matter, if it weren't for you killing Zhang Lihua with your own hands and gaining the trust of Gao Fujiao, it must not be possible for him to be regarded as a confidant and let you engage in such an important task." ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart moved, it seems that Gao Xi did not mention the matter of establishing the prince to Changsun Sheng, maybe in Gao Xi's eyes, Changsun Sheng's relationship with the Turks is too close, and he is also guarded against him, and he did not entrust the core secrets to this person, but a smile appeared on his face: "It's all for the country, it should be." Any other news? ”

Changsun Sheng thought for a while and said: "The Lingnan region of Chen State was still in trouble for a while, most of the local slang bureaucrats lived in caves, and they did not accept the king, and Chen Guo only made a wish to the leaders of these slang bureaucrats to make a wish to achieve nominal rule.

After the fall of the Chen State, the most powerful local leader of the Luozhou slang people, the former Luozhou Thorn Shi, a descendant of the Northern Yan royal family, and the wife of the Han Feng Bao, Mrs. Xian Tai, became the most famous person in Lingnan. When Jiankang fell, Mrs. Xian did not know that Chen Guo was dead, and organized a mixed army of tens of thousands of people of various ethnic groups to prepare to go north to King Qin.

At that time, more than 20,000 troops of our army recruited from the south, and under the leadership of Wei Huan, the prince of Xiangyang, they also marched to Lingnan, set up camp, and held on to the south ridge across the ridge, but did not take the initiative to attack, and that was still a matter when we went to the Turks.

Two months ago, I heard the news that Chen Shubao's letter of surrender and the Funan rhino staff that Mrs. Xian paid tribute to Chen Baxian that year were brought to Lingnan, so that Mrs. Xian could see it, and Mrs. Xian cried in the direction of Jiankang, and then surrendered to our army.

After Wei Xun's army entered Lingnan, the main force returned to the division, but Wang Zhongxuan, the slang leader of Panyu, saw that our army left, and he had a heart of disobedience, and heard that the army rebelled last month, Wang Shiji had transferred Jingzhou troops to the south, and I don't know what the current situation is. ”

When Wang Huaqiang heard this, he secretly scolded this Wei Xun in his heart for going back too early and too quickly, and did not leave a strong force to defend Lingnan, which caused the barbarians to have a rebellious heart, and gave Wang Shiji a chance to quell the rebellion, he said hatefully: "Wei Huan's army doesn't know why it is so urgent, can't it be left for half a year, not to mention that even if this army leaves Lingnan, it is always closer than Wang Shiji who is far away in Jingzhou, why not return on the spot?" ”

Changsun Sheng smiled slightly: "Brother, it seems that you don't know anything about Lingnan, where there is a miasma, if the soldiers in the Central Plains are in the past, it has always been difficult to adapt, and the exile in Lingnan has been used as a means of punishing criminal officials in successive dynasties, and the officials who go there rarely come back alive after five years of term, which shows that it is terrible."

So compared with the natural danger of Nanling, this miasma is the most terrible place in Lingnan, judging from Wei Huan's rapid withdrawal of troops, I estimate that his army has also been hit by miasma and has lost its combat effectiveness, otherwise it is impossible to send Wang Shiji to transfer troops south, and that Wang Zhongxuan may also know the news, so he dared to rebel. ”

Wang Huaqiang was nervous for a while: "Jingzhou and Lingnan are thousands of miles apart, and when Wang Shiji transfers troops south, even if he doesn't consider the water and soil, the miasma in the middle will take at least a month or two, and the traitor is afraid that he has already occupied Lingnan and blocked the mountain road to the south." ”

Changsun Sheng nodded heavily: "Yes, now we can only count on Lingnan's Madame Xian to stand on our side of the Great Sui and call for a rebellion with her lofty influence in the local area, if Madame Xian remains neutral or falls to the rebels, then Lingnan will fall into the hands of traitors, and now that the army has been disbanded, relying on Wang Shiji's Jingzhou soldiers alone, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to capture Lingnan, and the shape is not optimistic." ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded and smiled slightly: "But with the emperor's wisdom, this matter must be solved sooner or later, after all, Lingnan is vast and sparsely populated, not the land of the king, even Nanchen has been destroyed, are you still afraid of this corner of Lingnan?" ”
