Liu Yong didn't expect that he would come to Xuzhou to act as an envoy.

But the severity of the situation can no longer tolerate all kinds of dirty things caused by the internal filth in Nanyang, and if we don't reach an agreement with Caizhou and Xuzhou, maybe Nanyang's future will be very dangerous.

Liu Yong is actually very confident in his own family, although it is huge, Nanyang seems to be far from Nanyang, and the beams are all wiped out under the iron hooves of the Shatuo Iron Rider, it seems that Nanyang is even more unlikely to be able to resist the blade of the Shatuo people, but Liu Yong does not think so.

Liu Yong naturally has reasons for such a view, the first is geographical reasons.

Although Nanyang theoretically also belongs to the Central Plains, but separated from Funiu Mountain and Fangcheng Mountain, in fact, the Nanyang Basin is more like isolated from the Central Plains Bianluo land, and it is a family of its own.

Of course, if the Shatuo Iron Cavalry wants to get rid of the entanglement with the infantry and magicians in Nanyang in Fangcheng Mountain and Funiu Mountain, it can theoretically go south and then eastward from the west line of Xuzhou to Caizhou, but if the Shatuo people want to borrow the road, will the Yuan family dare?

That will directly endanger the core area of Caizhou, the matter of false road cutting is not unheard of in history, Liu Yong does not believe that Yuan Changhe has the courage, Caizhou is bound to not agree, this is Liu Yong's understanding.

And this time Liu Yong came to Xuzhou, that is, to persuade Xuzhou to form an alliance, and at the same time to prevent Caizhou from being forced by the pressure of the Shatuo people to really borrow the Wuyang-Xiping-Wufang line, which must not be allowed.

Really want to attack and defend a city and a place, Nanyang is not afraid of the Shatuo people, Nanyang's infantry is not a simple infantry, from the mountains in Funiu Mountain and Tongbai Mountain, and the magic soldiers mixed with the foot soldiers will become the biggest nightmare of the Shatuo people.

After a few years, Liu Yong never imagined that he would step into Xuzhou with such an attitude, which is difficult to express.

"Big brother, this is Xuzhou City? Riding a horse, a man with a slightly thin figure like Liu Yong rode alongside Liu Yong, observing the business travelers coming and going outside the city gate with some curiosity, thoughtfully.

"Oh, what's the difference?" Liu Yong didn't pay much attention, his eyes lingering up and down the city gate.

Sure enough, it is a majestic city in the world, compared to Nanyang, even a few points taller, looking at the land of Huaibei, there is a bit of self-respecting momentum, no wonder Jiang Feng can't wait to abandon Shouzhou, and take this place as his big governor's mansion, from a geographical point of view, this is the well-deserved center of Jiang Feng's territory.

In fact, he is not small, but compared with his brother Liu Yong, he looks a lot thinner, but he can still see that he is a mother and compatriot with Liu Yong, but Liu Yong is a majestic and heroic hair, and he has a little more bright eyes and good taste.

"More prosperous than imagined, I remember that last year's news came back from the fine work that although Xuzhou City was not looted by ant thieves, but after years of drought, the people are still struggling to make a living, and passers-by are all with vegetables, but today it is completely different, look at the prosperity of this business travel, more than our Nanyang, how to explain?"

"Little sister, what do you want to say?" Liu Yong frowned.

"Well, this Jiang Feng is also an interesting person, with a small and broad, such a world, don't you and your father want me to marry him to strengthen the connection between the Liu family and Xuzhou? I don't object, but there are conditions, he has to be in my eyes, and since I can't marry him as a wife, well, I don't have the heart to fight with Li Jin's girl, I will be a flat wife, but my other condition is that he can't take care of my affairs. ”

The man with a light tone on the horse is undoubtedly Liu Yong's little sister Liu Ji, it is said that in Nanyang is also a person who sees the head and does not see the tail, it is rumored that she was born with a full house of lush atmosphere, within one day, a golden lotus outside the window blooms and bears fruit, deducing the atmosphere of prosperity and decline, but except for the maids and loved ones who have served her since the Liu family was a child, it is said that after the age of twelve, no one has seen her true appearance.

"Can't take care of your business?" Liu Yong's eyebrows were a little more dissatisfied, "Why do you say this?"

"Big brother is relieved, I said that I don't care about my business, it's not that I want to do anything unethical, I just think that my own fate doesn't necessarily have to be tied to someone, right? Liu Jue's eyebrows were a little more agile, and he said shallowly.

"Hmph, no matter how broad-minded a man is, it is impossible for him to be generous in this regard, little sister, what are you thinking?" Liu Yong said with some distress and vigilance: "Since you promised your father and brother, do you still have to find fault and regret it?"

"What kind of regret? It's just wishful thinking on your part, I heard that Jiang Feng doesn't like women, and there is a lack of people in the middle so far, isn't there a hidden disease, or is it a good man?" Liu Ji smiled and said: "Isn't Liu Luo and Liu Jia also in the boudoir? Isn't the uncle also interested in marrying the two of them? Marriage with Jiang Feng is better than marrying the Hu people, right? Or does the uncle want the two of them to marry the children of the royal family?"

"Hmph, I don't know what my uncle thinks, but does it still make sense to marry the royal family? Liu Yong shook his head contemptuously, "It's not clear how long the Li Tang royal family can last, the party members are so stimulated by the Shatuo people, if they go south to Guanzhong again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to send away, and that Yang Wenchang, the wolf's ambition, is obvious, he thinks that others can't see that he is fanning the flames behind the party members, and wants to use the party people to do Liu Yuan's things? The idea of reaping the benefits is good, but the party people are not stupid, you treat the party people as knives, but once the knife has an idea, what should you do?" Cutting your own hand is light, and maybe even your wrist will be cut off. ”

"Liu Luo and Liu Jia's two girls are regarded as the pearls of the palm by their uncles, I am afraid that they are a little reluctant to marry Hu Ren, the current situation is so embarrassing, why should we make sacrifices, and their one should sit back and enjoy its success?" Liu Jue said stupidly: "Anyway, I am the request, if you want me to marry, even if it doesn't matter if you are a concubine, but I have to have autonomy, he can't interfere in my affairs." ”

"Alright, little sister, you don't have a problem. Liu Yong said with a straight face: "How can our Liu family's concubines be concubines? As for what you said, people will not agree, of course, if you have the ability to persuade Jiang Feng, that is also your ability." ”

"That's okay, I'll go to Jiang Feng myself and say that I will abide by women's morality, but I also need my own life. Liu Ji had a little indescribable expectation between his eyebrows, and seemed to have some understanding, "Life is as lonely as snow, I hope that someone can come to dye Danqing." ”

Liu Yong glanced at his little sister helplessly, and said that his little sister was very wise, but she always liked this kind of gratuitous hypocrisy, sad autumn and spring, maybe it was the disease of a little girl like them?

"I didn't expect Xuzhou's shipping to be so developed, I thought Shouzhou was the shipping center of Xuzhou, but it was shocked in Suzhou, and now to Pengcheng, but I feel that the scale is larger, and the water transportation in Huaibei is not lost in Huainan Jiangnan, no wonder Jiang Feng will choose here. Liu Ji's eyes fell back on the wharf outside the city, which is the confluence of Surabaya and Gubian River, where a large number of iron materials can be boarded, which can be traced back to Yanzhou, and more is to go south to Sizhou and even enter Huaishui, take the canal to Chuzhou and Yangzhou, and even enter the river to reach Jiangning, Jiangzhou, and Ezhou.

"Little sister, did you see the ox cart that was so crushed that the ruts on the ground were deep? It is said that after Jiang Feng took Xuzhou, vigorously rectify the Xuzhou iron smelting industry, Xuzhou iron smelting industry has a new weather, iron output ten times more than in the past, and the output and quality of steel have also increased several times, the original Nanyang and Xuzhou are known as the two major iron production areas in the Middle Earth, but in fact we Nanyang has steadily suppressed Xuzhou, but now Xuzhou has in turn surpassed us Nanyang a lot, in addition to some special grades of steel and our Nanyang still have a gap, other pig iron and steel have greatly exceeded us a lot, now not only the Central Plains marketing Xuzhou iron, ironware, Jiangnan has squeezed our Nanyang iron market a lot, and my uncle is also troubled by it. ”

Liu Yong has also been paying attention to the iron on the wharf is being loaded, hundreds of steps of ox carts will be full of dock line, these are ready to load the iron materials, the wharf is also sweating like rain, carefully stacking pieces of iron, and then lifting it onto the ship, only to see that the waterline of the ship slowly sinks, and soon reaches the limit.

It's terrifying to think about it, there are so many iron materials shipped out every day, so I don't know how big the iron-smelting center in Xuzhou is? How many iron-smelting furnaces are working day and night?

"This Jiang Feng also really has some skills, you say that he is just a good person to be promoted, it is nothing more than a better martial arts talent, we have a lot of talents like Nanyang, why are you so specialized in magic?" Liu Ji's eyebrows were picturesque, and he was wearing a scholar's uniform on his body, with a little more graceful and suave atmosphere, "What is even more rare is that these spells seem to be not only used in the military, but can also be used in people's livelihood, which is incredible, I really want to see this guy more and more, and see what kind of person this guy is." ”

Liu Yong snorted softly, he was also complicated about his little sister's performance.

The little sister was unwilling to accept such a marriage, and he had to worry that the relationship between Nanyang and Xuzhou could not be closer, but the little sister showed a good impression and interest in Jiang Feng, which made him a little sour and jealous in his brother's heart.

Jiang Feng gave this guy how could he marry Li Jin, and here he also asked his little sister to be his wife, you must know that a few years ago, this guy was still in Nanyang and was kicked off, and almost became a prisoner.
