Chapter 72 Target Lingnan
"Sure enough, young people are impulsive!" Shen Chengping didn't look at Bai Fenghan's corpse, but shook his head and sighed.
"Poof, you little thief, why do you always talk so old-fashioned sometimes!" Although Shang Xiuxun was also a little surprised by Shen Cheng's square performance, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw his movements, after all, he was young now, but he spoke as if he was an old guy who was dozens of years old, so he was a little disobedient.
However, the people around them didn't think about anything that violated the harmony, they all lowered their heads at this time and didn't dare to gnaw, for fear of attracting Shen Chengping's attention, but Shang Peng and Shang Zhen even wondered if Shen Chengping was really an old guy, and Wanwan even joked next to him: "Husband, you can't really be an old monster who has lived for decades!" ”
The corners of his eyes twitched, and Shen Chengping glared at Wanwan angrily: "Yes, I am an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, and at your age, it is too young to be my granddaughter!" ”
"Hee-hee-......" Wanwan naturally didn't know that Shen Chengping had inadvertently told part of the truth, but she grew up with Shen Chengping in this life, so she naturally knew that Shen Chengping was really no more than twenty years old at this time.
Such a thing happened in the restaurant, which naturally alarmed the patrol team of Longhumen, and as a last resort, Shen Chengping had no choice but to reveal his identity in advance, and at the same time, he was also received by Zhao Qing, the person in charge of Longhumen in Xiangyang.
Zhao Qing is only thirty years old, but he is calm and talented, Shen Chengping also has a deep impression of him, because when Longhumen was first built, some people were specially screened for guidance, this Zhao Qing is also one of them, and he is extremely studious, is the best performer, and later his performance is also quite outstanding, in government affairs and military level is not low, and now he is the backbone of Longhumen, otherwise he will not be arranged to be in charge of Xiangyang, the most important city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
Shen Chengping asked about the situation in Xiangyang, Zhao Qing also answered fluently, and knew all kinds of situations well, although there were still many flaws, but it was only that the Dragon and Tiger Gate occupied a lack of time, overall, Shen Chengping was very satisfied.
After sending Zhao Qing away, Shen Chengping sighed softly, but was heard by Yun Yuzhen next to him, and asked: "Why, I see that person is doing a very good job, the situation in Xiangyang City along the way is much more stable, and Xiangyang can stabilize so quickly, it can be seen that it has worked hard." ”
"I sighed but it wasn't because there was a problem with the situation in Xiangyang, in fact, Zhao Qing did a very good job, and I sighed only because the big clans in the south of the Yangtze River are now mostly yin and yang for the Dragon and Tiger Gate, and they surrender on the surface, but in fact they are still going their own way, and now the Dragon Tiger Gate soldiers are flourishing, if there is a slight setback in the future, I am afraid that these people will have a different mind!" Shen Chengping said.
"Then the young master has a way?" Zhenzhen couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"Hmph, I've seen a lot of these big clans, they are all cheap bones, if you please them, most of them will not know their own weight, they have to inch in, or they have to suppress it strongly, let them know who is in charge, and then dispose of a batch, collect a batch, but these guys are all local snakes, quite difficult, if not, I have an army of 200,000 in Longhumen, why can I only barely make up 60,000 at most to crusade against Bashu."
A cold light flashed in Shen Chengping's eyes, recently, because Longhumen has been expanding externally, the local clans have not had time to clean up, as a result, many towns and towns now nominally belong to Longhumen, but in fact they do their own thing, which is unbearable for Shen Chengping, which is why Shen Chengping arranged for Xu Ziling to patrol all parts of the Yangtze River, in addition to dealing with those bandits, there is also the meaning of cleaning up a group of local tyrants.
"Okay, don't say these disappointing words, I'm going to Lingnan in a few days, Wanwan, you will go to Yangzhou first during this time, help me sit in Longhumen, and they will discuss it when they encounter things, Xiuxun has promised that the war horses of Pegasus Ranch will only supply us in the future, but in terms of price, don't let the ranch suffer any losses, after all, Xiuxun still needs to take care of the ideas of his subordinates."
"Hehe, I really need to worry about it now, but when you bring Sister Xiuxun into the room, won't the price be negotiable?" Wanwan smiled and quipped to Shen Chengping: "At that time, the entire Pegasus Ranch will be Sister Xiuxun's dowry, and you can still get Sister Xiuxun, a beautiful woman with a beautiful country, don't you want this kind of good husband?" ”
"You girl is here to keep her mouth open, this matter is not a matter of one or two sentences, just to supply our dragon and tiger gate war horses, Xiuxun spent a lot of effort to suppress the opinions of the people below, plus I am still busy here, so I still need to wait for the cooperation to stabilize before I talk about others." Shen Chengping pinched Wanwan's nose and said with a smile: "And my Wan'er, aren't you worried that Xiuxun will enter the door and compete with you for the position of the eldest woman?" ”
Hearing this, Wanwan suddenly frowned slightly, revealing a drooping expression, and said softly: "Is the husband tired of Wan'er?" Wan'er is just a weak woman......"
"Smack!!" Shen Chengping couldn't help crying and laughing when he saw this, slapped one hand on the curling buttocks, and said, "You little girl, do everything here!" ”
After staying in Xiangyang for only two days, Shen Chengping said goodbye to Shang Xiuxun, took Wanwan, Yuzhen and Zhenzhen down the river, returned directly to Yangzhou, left them all in Yangzhou, and boarded the boat at the dock in Yangzhou, and the destination was Lingnan.
Not long ago, there was news that Yang Guang was going to come to Jiangnan along the canal, which made Shen Chengping know that before Yang Guang died, the fall of the Sui Dynasty would only take more than half a year, and once Yang Guang died, Li Guan would never sit back and watch this opportunity slip away, and would definitely raise troops to seize Guanzhong.
"Calculated in this way, at that time, Longhumen was probably still competing with the mountains and mountains in Bashu, with the speed of Li Valve's attack on Guanzhong, it is impossible to compete with Li Valu for Chang'an, and now I can only try to seize Hanzhong and occupy this bridgehead to attack Chang'an!" Shen Chengping silently summed up in his heart, and at the same time looked forward to the next trip to Lingnan.
This trip to Lingnan, it was Shen Chengping who had already given Song Que a post half a year ago, but it was not until a month ago that Song Que responded, inviting Shen Chengping to Lingnan and his party, and the news reached Shen Chengping's hands for only half a month, and Shen Chengping's next plan is to use Song Valve, at this time, it is natural that he will not rub the shelf, Jiangnan at this time is only the beginning of prosperity, Lingnan is still a wild place, the road goes south, Shen Chengping takes a sea boat along the coast, and the speed is much faster than taking the land route.
