Gu Yanzhang is on a business errand, naturally living in the post station in Yongzhou City, he had the heart to ask, worried that he would see the post station, and he would keep silent about the convenience, so he simply let Rosin give the silver money first, and under the pretext of going back to find someone to move, let the vendor move the persimmons and taro aside, go to a vacant place, and chat with the other party.

He first asked about the specialties of Guizhou and Yongzhou, and Ziyun came here from the north to prepare for the liberation exam, and said that he would bring them back to his hometown in the future.

Guangnan West Road is used to weak literary atmosphere, Yongzhou students are famous for a few, back to the capital to take the spring examination, nine times out of ten to run back, is to even if there is a miasma here, there are still from time to time to meet students from other states who are not afraid of death for a Jinshi background to take the exam, take advantage.

As soon as he heard Gu Yanzhang speak, he immediately understood, thinking that this was a person who couldn't get mixed up in his hometown and came to Yongzhou to rub the quota, so he smiled and complimented: "The guest officer must be in high school this time!" ”

Hearing that Gu Yanzhang was going to return to his hometown from Guangnan with local products, he was even more busy: "If the guest officer wants to bring local things, I have a lot of them at home, if you are free, you might as well come and take a look!" Guizhou, Yongzhou, Pennsylvania, I have the goods, if you want, I can also help you get some medicinal materials and agarwood from Guangyuan Prefecture and Jiaozhi! There are also horns, compared to buying them in those markets in Yongzhou City, I don't know how much more cost-effective! ”

Blowing the goods in his house to the sky, almost squirting out saliva.

Gu Yanzhang took the opportunity to talk to him, and took advantage of this to ask about the vendor's past business in the field, and then asked where the other party lived, and decided to send someone to his home to choose local products in two days.

He had bought so many things, and he was a man who seemed to have money in his hands, and the peddler was bent on his business, so naturally he answered every question he had.

After several back-and-forths, Gu Yanzhang soon learned about the "merits" of recruiting brave soldiers in Yuzhou City since Wu Yi came to Yongzhou, performing martial arts at the border, and then banning mutual markets and rejecting the field.

The peddler saw that there was no one left and right, and he didn't shy away from speaking, but said: "The guest officer is a foreigner, you should not know, since the former Yang Pingzhang repelled Jiaozhi, Yongzhou has been easy to stabilize these years, in fact, everyone doesn't want to be chaotic anymore, if it is chaotic, how can the business be done, and how can the fields be planted?" If you're unlucky, you have to take your life. ”

"Now Wu Zhizhou is here, our business everywhere is doing well, but he just gave him the field, don't let the mutual market forget it, I heard that he also recruited brave martial arts, and every day in the place near Guangyuan Prefecture staged martial arts demonstrations, I used to have a few acquaintances in Jiaozhi, all said that the Jiaozhi Emperor, surnamed Li, a while ago I also wanted to go to the court to write, and wanted Yongzhou to reopen the field, but the book was intercepted by our Zhizhou halfway, and someone passed it on privately, and the book was burned directly, and it was not sent to the capital!"

"Isn't this just a call to Jiaozhi to fight?!"

The peddler squatted on the ground and sighed: "Last month, a letter came from the capital, Yang Pingzhang actually went, you said that without Yang Pingzhang's pressure, what are you afraid of?" Say it's a hit! There are tens of thousands of soldiers in Jiaozhi, as well as Guangyuan Prefecture, I heard that because of the dismissal, the field was also picked up by Jiaozhi and followed the fight, seeing that Qinzhou is not far from Yongzhou, I can't say when I will fight over, a good day, but you said that 'mistaken' Zhizhou, what is the picture? ! ”

Gu Yanzhang knew that the hawker's words could not be fully believed, but the information that could be revealed from the other party's mouth was a bit amazing.

He just didn't believe it and asked, "Don't you have that statement?" Wu Zhizhou intercepted the upper table of Jiaozhi, wouldn't others go to him? ”

The peddler sneered and said: "The guest official is really a scholar, you don't be an official, where do you know the way to be an official, Wu Zhizhou is the official from the capital, I heard that although he was demoted, but the status is very high, the people in the Manchurian Yali combined, they can't compare to him and have a lot of weight in his words, that is, the Zhizhou in Guizhou City, our Guangnan West Road strategy, can not match him." ”

He said, "Besides, why are you going to participate?" Jiaozhi didn't fight at that time, he only said that Jiaozhi looked unstable, in order to recruit some soldiers, and then close the field, so as not to let the other party come nonsense, do you still fight with him? Besides, does he have face in front of the Son of Heaven, or do you have face in front of the Son of Heaven, you are a big official, and you have done many powerful things before, does the Holy One listen to him or you? Who is impatient to touch this moldy head, and see that he will be hated by the officials! Do you want to be an official in the future?! ”

Again: "Look, now that Jiaozhi has really come over, Qinzhou has not been defended, and Pennsylvania has not been defended, if you come to Yongzhou, how can you fight?" Yang Pingzhang is gone, the new Chen Jiedu used to be a fierce general, who had fought Jiaozhi, we all knew it, but unfortunately he was sick, and he had been invited to a doctor in Yongzhou City for a month or two, and he couldn't get up - we all said in private that the Jiaozhi people must have buried spies in Yongzhou City, and they all know everything, if they really fight, Chen Jiedu can't do anything, just relying on that Zhizhou who is a civil official, I don't know what it looks like! ”

"Iniquity!" The peddler let out a long sigh, and sure enough, he looked worried.

Gu Yanzhang listened to a lot of words from the hawker, returned to the state office, and looked at the orders issued by Wu Yi after he arrived in Yongzhou.

There has been a lot of friction between the two sides, and there has been a constant war for a hundred years, Wu Yi's approach is like adding fuel to the fire, and it may be able to hold it down for a few years, but if someone else comes, maybe it will be safe and stable, but he is in his hand, and there is no fire to be ignited, not to mention that there is still fire.

It's just that the wood is already in the boat, and it's useless to think about it anymore, so I can only wait for the news from Qinzhou to come back.

Although there are only 6,000 reinforcements, they can only hope that Zhang Dingya can save Qinzhou and Pennsylvania.

***

Gu Yanzhang is just a transfer with the army, and has no power to meddle in local military affairs, Chen Hao is the commander-in-chief of the military, but unfortunately he is bedridden at the moment, according to the rules of the DPRK and China, the person who takes over is Wu Yi. In desperation, he had to first count the armaments, baggage, and grain in Yongzhou City, and went to the city wall many times, and went back to the state government to find a way to persuade Wu Yi to at least move the people outside the city first.

He had something hanging in his heart, and he only mentioned two times in the letter to Ji Qingling, and attached a lot of Guangnan specialties to the letter, which he used to eat and play, and never mentioned it again.

Guangnan is thousands of miles away from the capital, and his letters have been sent out, and it has not been long since Ji Qingling received the last letter home.
