On the ninth day of the twelfth month, Shen Nianfan, the chief of the Liugu Tribe, the patriarch of Yangfei Valley, and the deputy envoy of the Hexi Yanei Army, sent his younger brother Shen Panruo, the assassin of Changzhou, to Guzang to report the results of the war against the Qiang tribes in the Snow Mountain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Nianban attacked with 8,000 elite cavalry of the Liugu Division, swept the snow-capped Qiang in the area of the Great Snow Mountain in the southwest of the state to the Dadou Ba Valley, and wantonly cleaned it and swallowed it up as the people of the Liugu Division.

And the leader of the Snow Mountain Qiang Tuoba Naji has first killed the Chishui Military City, resulting in no one in charge of the Snow Mountain Qiang tribes, and the Jiashi can not be rescued, and finally can only sigh and sigh, and order his eldest son Liangzhou Thorn Shi Zhi Zhi to come to Guzang, on the grounds that Baiting Haisu refused to pay taxes to the Liangzhou Prefecture Ya, and has sent troops to severely punish and ask for merit.

The two people arrived in the afternoon of the same day, and Shen Shihou was relieved to receive the report, and immediately asked Zhang Yue to come to the back hall of the Shuaifu to discuss: how to report these battles to Tokyo.

Zhang Yue had already received the news in advance, so the result was expected, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's very simple!" They just came to talk to us. As for Shen Panruo, he came forward on behalf of Shen Nian, wanting to officially take the pastures of the Qiang Department of the Snow Mountain as his own, and at present, this is what we like to see, their contradictions have intensified, and Liangzhou is safer! ”

"It's better to govern their own territory with their existing territory, but I'm afraid that there will be disputes in formal interviews." Shen Shihou looked a little absent-minded, and his face was tired.

"That's for sure, Shen Nian's attack on Snow Mountain Qiang also needs an excuse, since the Zhe Kui clan uses Su on the grounds that Ah Bo does not pay taxes, then we also use Tuoba Naji as an excuse that he does not pay taxes, and he can't say anything to deny it. Then there is the transfer of Liangzhou officials, and there is no other good way for the time being, but the position of Liangzhou Assassin must be handed over! Zhang Yue said categorically.

"I'm afraid that it's inappropriate, and I won't agree to it." Shen Shihou said disapprovingly.

"If they don't agree, then they have to hand over Ming Weishu or Xiu Tu City, this is the northern barrier of the state, we must choose one of the three, otherwise Liangzhou is too dangerous." Zhang Yue has always been reluctant to act passively, and if he does not take this opportunity to bargain, it will still be difficult for the new marshal to take office in the future.

"Alas...... It's time to go back to Tokyo this time! Shen Shihou sighed and asked tentatively. Originally, he didn't want to return to the dynasty, but this incident failed with Shen Nian's marriage, and he lost his eldest son, his foundation in Liangzhou was lost, and he didn't want to stay longer.

"I'm afraid that Shen Dashuai will not be able to leave for a while, it is advisable to wait for the news from the DPRK and China before making a decision, otherwise Liangzhou will regenerate, and Dashuai will give up his previous efforts, please consider carefully! Contrarily...... If he returns to Beijing at the behest of the DPRK, he will be a hero, and he will definitely be of great use if he returns in style. Zhang Yue was kind and comforting and enlightened, but Shen Shihou still looked decadent and listless.

The next day, Liangzhou Marshal's Mansion Counsellor, Zhang Yue sat on the side seat as a guest provincial envoy, led and participated in the whole process, and finally made an oral contract, the two sides divided the administrative units according to the existing jurisdiction, obeyed the dispatch of the Marshal's Mansion, and never had another incident!

It can only be a verbal contract, because both sides are considered officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and at the same time they are both leaders of tribal forces, and the Liangzhou Marshal's Mansion is only a nominal arbitration institution here, coordinating the relationship between Liangzhou and Tokyo, and has no real power.

Unwilling to give up Ming Weishu and Xiu Tu Juncheng, after a verbal argument, he finally relieved Liangzhou of the post of assassin, but he also led the Hexi Jiedu Envoy, in charge of money and food, in fact, they could only manage their own, only a nominal official position.

Shen Nianru was promoted to the position of Liangzhou Thorn History, and relieved himself of the duties and powers of the deputy envoy of the internal army; Cui Huxin was promoted to the judge of Hexi Jiedu, and he was also the commander of Guzang County and Chishui Army.

The overlapping Liangzhou defense chief and deputy envoys were dismissed and revoked, with Wang Tinghan and Zhou Jianzhang as the chief and deputy envoys of the Yanai Army.

These official positions are very strange and completely out of line with the Central Plains regulations, but this is not a place where the rules are spoken, and everything is based on stability. Other positions, such as the envoy of the Baiting Army, the envoy of the Tonggu Army under the Great Snow Mountain, and the envoy of the Dadou Army, were appointed and dismissed by the Zhe Kui clan and the Liugu Ministry themselves.

In this Liangzhou incident, only the Zhe clan had gains and losses. And the biggest profit is, of course, Da Zhou, which has increased security and tightened control. The second is the Liugu Division, Shen Nianlike has obtained tens of thousands of people, the number of troops will increase by thousands, and the strength will grow rapidly, reaching the strength to contain the Zhe Kui clan. In the end, it is Cui Huxin, who has won the territory and population of Chishui Military City, which can be regarded as making a lot of money.

After these things are dealt with, Zhang Yue has nothing to do, and the Ya Shen Hou said goodbye to Shen Shihou, planning to return to Huizhou in a few days, where it is still a mess.

That night, when I went back to my lodgings to rest, the soldiers began to pack up. Zhang Yue remembered that the affairs of Huizhou were still a mess, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered: The detailed map of Liangzhou has not been drawn yet, the stallion and the sweaty horse have not been found, and the eagle slave also needs one, so it seems that Cui Huxin can inquire about these.

The next day, Zhang Yue went to the Shuaifu to receive the official documents, and in the name of inspecting the place, he sent Hao Tianying and Chen Jia to visit the Nanshan Mountains in Guzang and the area of the Daxue Mountain in the southwest of the state, and made a draft, and then synthesized the map of the Shuaifu when he returned, and drew a detailed military map.

After sending the two of them, Zhang Yue found Cui Huxin and asked, but Cui Huxin was surprised and said: "There are no sweat and blood horses in the entire Hexi, if the Hequ horses are breeded, the best in Yangfei Valley, and the eagle slaves are only them, I can take you to see Shen Panruo, maybe there is hope." ”

Shen Banruo is about forty years old, like his brother Shen Nian, not like Cui Huxin's Fan cake face, the appearance of the Han people is obvious, the chin has three elegant black beards, but the skin is slightly dark, and the cheeks have a wind-blown plateau red. When he heard that Zhang Yue and Cui Huxin were visiting, he personally greeted him with a very enthusiastic attitude, which made Zhang Yue see hope.

The three of them sat down in the hall, and Zhang Yue opened the door to see each other and directly explained his intentions. I didn't want Shen Banruo to be stunned when he heard this, his face showed hesitation, and he replied after a long silence: "It's not a big problem if you say a stallion, but don't reveal the news, otherwise there will be an accident on the road!" The eagle slave can give you one, and then hand it over to you in Anguo Town, it's not convenient to hide here. ”

"I don't know how much it costs? I know a lot of caravans, if you bring a large number of goods to Liangzhou for trading, what is the market price? Zhang Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, thought about it and asked.

"According to the price between our people, the price of the stallion is three times the price, but this time General Zhang has made a big effort, and our Yangfei Valley has not thanked him properly, so he can sell it to General Zhang at a low price. In addition, our clan has adult war horses, cattle and sheep and raw hides, soft felts and blankets and other items, cordyceps and snow lotus and other precious medicinal materials, if General Zhang is interested, he can deliver them in Anguo Town. ”

When Cui Huxin heard this, he also said with bright eyes: "We also have these goods in our clan, but they can be sent together, and next year General Zhang can pay for them with equivalent goods!" ”
