Liangzhou, like Yizhou and Yongzhou, is a relatively closed area surrounded by mountains.

Although it was closed, it also created a military advantage, as long as a few dangerous passes and passages were held, then the attack of hostile forces could be blocked.

Compared with the three states, Yongzhou is densely populated, followed by Yizhou, and Liangzhou is sparsely populated, although it has a wide area.

Most of the castles were scattered like pearls, controlled by the various military chiefs. In addition, in addition to the millions of people of the Great Zhou registered in the Liangzhou government, there are also many Yi people and even barbarians from the Hehuang grassland.

The middle section of Liangzhou is long and narrow, and the two ends are extensive. The end point of the west end is the absolute pass of the world, the absolute pass of Yang, separated by a pass, connecting the wasteland and Liangzhou, and also blocking the tide of brute beasts from entering the hinterland of Liangzhou. In addition, although Fuyu Mountain can lead to the wasteland, it is controlled by the Demon Extreme Sect, where the realm has been established, and the brute beasts are extinct, let alone pedestrians.

The area controlled by Zhu Zi is the long and narrow river valley in the middle section. This section of the terrain is relatively flat, can be cultivated, can be grazing, gathered a large number of people in Liangzhou, barbarians, Yi people. Zhu Zi controlled the largest grain production area, the largest number of cities and trade channels in Liangzhou, and the most elite 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry under his command were stationed near Wuwei, the capital of Liangzhou.

The eastern region of Liangzhou is not as mountainous and barren as the western region. In fact, the vast majority of the military leaders in Liangzhou were gathered in the Eastern Regions, each with its own division of power, and the situation was very complicated.

Among them, the richest Chengji County is in the hands of the Qin family. Qin Feng originally had 8,000 Xiliang Iron Horsemen under his command, and he could support it by relying on Chengji County alone.

The eastern region of Liangzhou is not like the western section, there is only one hole outside, and there are three main passages. The northwest passage leads to the land of Hehuang, the Yuting to the east leads to Yongzhou, and the Longdao connected to Chengji County leads to Wuping County in Yizhou.

Qin Yuan stood in the middle of the Fuzhong Garden, looking at the clear sky, his face a little lost.

Qin Yuan's family education is extremely strict, and he uses almost the same method of training soldiers in the army for his sons. What a pity! Even though Qin Yuan is a strict father, Qin Feng and the others are not filial sons.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but sigh, thinking of this matter, there was always a nameless fire in his heart. At the beginning, Qin Feng swore in front of him, and not only abducted the three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but also abducted his two sons.

Because of this incident, Qin Yuan was already suspicious of Zhu Zi. Of course, as long as it is a normal monarch, it is impossible not to be suspicious. Even, Zhu Zi is unexpectedly magnanimous.

Zhu Zi is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and he no longer trusts Qin Yuan as much as he used to.

Although Qin Yuan was snubbed, he couldn't blame Zhu Zi or his three sons, and finally a wave of resentment was sprinkled on Yang Xian's body.

But Yang Xian is like kraft candy, no matter what kind of cold face Qin Yuan shows, he can finally paste it.

Even if Qin Yuan wanted to sever the relationship, he couldn't do it.

The 3,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry abducted by Yang Xian were usually stationed in Wuping County, not far from Chengji County. Although the three thousand Xiliang Tieqi are surnamed Yang and belong to the Shu Kingdom, they are all from Liangzhou, and their parents, brothers, and friends are all in Chengji County.

Shu's influence on Liangzhou is increasing day by day, and what worries Qin Yuan even more is the situation in Liangzhou at the moment.

The Liangzhou army captured the magic city, opened up the wasteland, and knew how to divide and dredge the tide of barbarian beasts.

In the past, the tide of barbarian beasts was related to the safety of Liangzhou and even the whole world, and it was able to gather all the people of Liangzhou and even the barbarians and the people of Yimin together to unite as one.

Because they knew that if the Yang Absolute Pass was broken, then they would also be reduced to the food in the mouth of the hungry brute beast.

But now, the common threat of everyone is gone, and coupled with the existence of the military head system, the internal contradictions are more tense than ever.

The Liangzhou army occupied the magic city and opened up the wasteland. In the past few years, it has already changed the impression of the barren and barren wilderness and the rampant beasts in the ancient book descriptions.

In fact, the Demon Domain controlled by the Demon Race in the past and the area where the Beast Tide passed through was only a small part of the Wasteland, and there were still many races around, and the Kua Father Clan was one of them.

Some of these races are branches of barbarians and demons, some are demons, some are razors, and some are strange races that do not resemble human forms.

They have been isolated from the world for a long time, have a unique culture, tame the brute beasts, establish a city to live in, and there are many special products that are not available in the Great Zhou.

These special products include daily necessities, military supplies, and materials urgently needed by the monks, as well as many strange items that the Liangzhou army did not understand.

In the past few years, the Liangzhou army has gone out on a large scale several times, hunting brute beasts, obtaining furs and materials needed by monks, and also trying to trade with these races, and has also gained a little.

Nowadays, the three kingdoms of Shu, Wu and Chu have opened up the sea area, and the Liangzhou army has opened up the wasteland, and the special products with obvious regional colors obtained are popular in the Central Plains and even outside the Saiwai. In a few years, the income from commerce and trade will become a non-negligible part of Liangzhou.

It's just that, after all, this is a superficial prosperity, but the deep internal crisis has been lurking.

A few days ago, Zhu Zi agreed to the request of Huanwu to communicate with the city, and a large number of merchants from the Central Plains entered Liangzhou, among which the dragons and snakes were mixed, and many Liang army visits took advantage of the situation to enter Liangzhou, some spying on intelligence, and some tried to secretly contact those military leaders.

Many small army leaders in the Liangzhou Army are half-hearted, and they have contacts with Huan Wu and Yang Xian, and they are basically grass on the wall, but they have to be guarded against.

"Sir, let's have some refreshments!"

Qin Yuan's old servant approached Qin Yuan with a tray with three small plates and a cup of hot tea in it.

Qin Yuan nodded, took a look, and found that in addition to the daily pastries, there were also stacks of granular golden items in the three small plates.

Qin Yuan picked it up and took a look, this thing had scales on the outside, crystal clear in the sun, and it was very good-looking.

"What is this?"

"This is the sucrose produced in Shu that Lie Gongzi and Tie Gongzi brought to the general when they came back last time, and it is now very popular in the county. Many children, adults, and even sergeants in the army love cane sugar. Tie Gongzi also said that the cane sugar he brought was a high-quality product, and even the county could not buy it. ”

Originally, when he heard that this thing belonged to the Shu Kingdom, Qin Yuan's face sank. But after all, this was Qin Lie and Qin Tie's intentions, and he still took one and tasted it.

The taste is good, and it has a mellow feeling, not like ordinary caramel candy. There is no shortage of salt in Liangzhou, but there is a shortage of sugar. This sugar is not like a seasoning, and it can even be considered a snack.

"My lord, there has been a situation on the border recently, and there have been frequent changes on the side of Shu."

The soldiers in the mansion hurriedly walked over and reported the news to Qin Yuan.

"If Yang Xian doesn't move, then it's not Yang Xian."

Qin Yuan chewed the candy, but it was not a big deal.

"But just now there is a Shu army, under the leadership of Tie Gongzi, it has passed the defense."

Qin Yuan's action of chewing candy stopped, his eyes widened, and his anger rushed to Guozi's face, and his beard trembled.

"What do you say? How many people are in this Shu army? ”

"Six hundred!"

"These rebels!"
