Section 267 Southern Tour

At the height of the Uighur population in Ganzhou, there were about 300,000 people, distributed in the two prefectures of Gansu and Suzhou, that is, between the sandbanks of the Guiyi army and the Lingzhou of the Dangxiang people, and in the north, there were also the Zhubu (Dadan) people whose power rose and fell from time to time, and they were also looking at this fertile land.

This area itself is the intersection of several forces, originally it has always been controlled by the Tubo people, and the Tubo people are respected, but with the intensification of the internal struggle of the Tubo people, the decline of power, and then by Yang Wenchang in one fell swoop, the power of the Tubo people has been greatly reduced, and the dominant power has been gradually handed over to Yang Wenchang, who controls almost the entire Shannan West Road and extends the power into the hands of Yang Wenchang, who has the right road in Longyou.

The current Yang Wenchang is indeed qualified to give orders to the Ganzhou Uighurs, of course, simply giving orders can have a great effect, but if things are tempted again, then in this era, no one can resist them, and the Ganzhou Uighurs are no exception.

For the Ganzhou Uighurs, in order to survive among the Guiyi army and the increasingly powerful party members, then they had to rely on a more powerful force, and Yang Wenchang was undoubtedly the best choice.

There is no one who does not yearn for the Central Plains of the Hu people who live in the bitter cold land of the north, and the people who have been brought to them by the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years are too many fantastic legends and dreams, cattle and sheep everywhere, silk and gold that are more precious than gold are available everywhere, not to mention the unification of the four seas brought by the noble Heavenly Khan so that they can also bathe in the glory of the Celestial Empire.

This is also the time when there were so many alien sons and daughters who sacrificed their lives and died to fight for this Tang Dynasty, and the appeal and attraction brought by this kind of Heavenly Empire are too powerful.

"Father, the strength of the Dangxiang people is much stronger than that of the Ganzhou Uighurs, but it is necessary to prevent the Dangxiang people from poisoning the Ganzhou Uighurs. Of course, Yang Gongyan hoped that relations between the two sides would deteriorate, but he also had to prevent the party members from using superior forces to suppress the Ganzhou Uighurs.

"Well, I also know this, and I will show the Uighurs a way south, so that they will be next to us and under our command. Yang Wenchang smiled and said: "The land of Guanzhong, we can't be the only ones who come to sing, the party members are here, and the Uighurs can of course also come, Li Tang should have withdrawn from this stage a long time ago, but he still can't go, so what should the people who should have appeared on the stage do? ”

"Are we standing behind the scenes?" Yang Gongyan also laughed: "Isn't that the fattest prey that can't be harvested?"

"Hehe, strength is respected, the party and the Uighurs are not stupid, they understand the reason why we let them into the game, I believe everyone can find a reasonable distribution plan. Yang Wenchang turned over and dismounted, holding the horsewhip in his hand, "By the way, Da Lang, has it been arranged in Chang'an City?"

"It's already been arranged, now the people in Chang'an City are panicking, and the Nine Gongqing is also constantly fighting internally, all of them are looking for their own way out, although the army can still control it, but the morale is low, now their food can still be supplied, and it will be delayed for another two months, as long as the food price rises, I think they can still survive?" Yang Gongyan's white cheeks showed a touch of hideousness, "The Nine Gongqing family, these are thousands of people, and they have accumulated hundreds of years of people's fat and people's ointment, and it is time for us to enjoy it." ”

"Well, your third uncle's side, the gold business road must be guarded, I estimate that there must be smart people in the Jiugongqing family, maybe the child will have to evacuate in advance, people can leave, but the property is never allowed to withdraw the gold business. Yang Wenchang gritted his teeth and said: "Time is still too long for Chang'an, I have been worried about this, Jin Shangdao must be guarded, Chang'an can still go to Tongguan, I have to remind Li Cunhou." ”

Yang Gongyan hesitated for a moment, "There is news from Chang'an, Jiang Feng has proposed to the imperial court, asking to marry Princess Jin,......"

"What's the matter, Da Lang also has a crush on Princess Jin?" Yang Wenchang laughed, "But Li Jin is indeed worthy of my family's Da Lang, why don't I send an envoy to ask the Li family for marriage?" ”

"My father laughed, I don't have much interest in Li Jin. Yang Gongyan shook his head, "Women, as long as we take Chang'an, whether it is the royal family or the Jiugongqing family, when they are reduced to civilians and have nothing, they will know how illusory what they rely on, and at that time we will be at will." ”

"Hehe, Da Lang can see so far, he is very comforted by his father's heart, how can a woman be a woman? It's just a succession, now we still need to observe, Jiang Feng's marriage to Li Jin is actually an intention, the court is a little flustered, and wants to win over foreign vassals, but Jiang Feng is a woman who can win over?" Yang Wenchang showed a rare cautious look on his face, "Jiang Feng's guy can jump up in just a few years, and make Shi Xuan, Zhu Mao and Wang Shouzhong have been beaten down, their pattern is unusually big, not to mention a princess, you are plus the concubines of each family of the Nine Dukes, they may not be able to influence his intentions, relying on women's pomegranate skirts to make a living, at most it is just throwing you a little leftovers. ”

"Hehe, father, they won't dislike the current court, they won't dislike the leftovers, after all, they only pay one woman. Yang Gongyan saw it more clearly, "But Xuzhou is indeed not to be underestimated, and it must be dealt with seriously." ”

"We can't take care of that side for the time being, our top priority now is to take Guanzhong and make Guanzhong our fundamental place. Yang Wenchang's tone was full of strong interest, "In the past, the Qin State was able to win the Six Kingdoms only if it had Guanzhong, but now the world is strife, and we are competing for it!"

Jiang Feng and his entourage left Xuzhou on 15 June.

Go south from Xuzhou and follow the official road to Tongqiao.

Tongqiao has been officially established as a county and has become the seat of Suzhou state, and it is also a busy scene, and a large number of gentry and merchants from the Daliang side have chosen this new place as a place to settle.

Most of these businessmen and gentry are not wealthy families, but ordinary small and medium-sized gentry merchants, and in their opinion, they may have to face the competition and squeeze of the big families who have withdrawn from Bianliang and Luoyang, so they feel that there will be more opportunities in the newly established Suzhou.

The bridge is located at the intersection of Xuzhou's southbound official road and canal, and its superior geographical location also makes it the most important land and water wharf, which can be described as unlimited business opportunities.

Jiang Feng and his entourage got off the train from Suzhou and took a boat, went straight down to Sizhou through the canal, and then went west from Sizhou to Shouzhou.

For more than a year, Jiang Feng almost stayed in the north, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and then went to Yunzhou and Caozhou, and spent more time on the northern war situation.

Now that the war situation in the Central Plains is slowing down, the situation of the Shatuo people's battle against Nanyang is gradually forming, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief, while the north's strategy against Hebei is advancing in an orderly manner, and with Wang Miao in charge, Jiang Feng is still relatively relieved.

He needs to go back to Shouzhou and Huzhou, these two places are the starting places, the foundation is located, and it is necessary to ensure the absolute stability of the situation in these two places.

At present, the Shouzhou Thorn History is served by Melo launched by the Mei family, and the Huzhou Thorn History is held by Zhang Fang of the Zhang family, although both of them are born with big surnames, but they are both side branches of the big surname, and their status in the family is not high, but they are quite prestigious.

Because of this, after investigation, Jiang Feng promoted the two to the position of assassin in these two states.

Of course, there is a more important task in Shouzhou, which is to visit his child who has been four months old but has not been able to see him.

The reason why Zhou Rui did not come to Xuzhou with his children was that Jiang Feng also considered that he was running around in the north and did not spend much time in Xuzhou, and Zhou Rui with a young child may not be able to adapt to life in the north, and the mortality rate of infants and young children in this era is very high.

As for Xu Ning, Jiang Feng didn't care too much, Xu Ning was a very realistic girl, she knew very well that the Xu family and herself had been tied together, and Zhou Rui and her had no direct conflict of interest.

What she needs to deal with is a family of women such as Liu Ji and Yu Chi Yanshan, and Jiang Feng also absolutely believes that Xu Ning already knew that Yu Chi Yanshan and Liu Ji appeared beside her, and she also understood the hidden meaning.

Therefore, if Xu Ning is smart enough, she may deliberately befriend Zhou Rui and pull this woman who is unlikely to pose any threat to her to the side of her own camp and form a united front, which is a wise move.

With a child, Jiang Feng's mentality has also changed somewhat.

I was really worried about whether my special background would have any impact before, but now it seems that Zhou Rui has given him a comfort and proof, so as long as he works hard, there will always be output in these fertile fields.

For the subordinates, an heir is absolutely not enough, and no one can guarantee whether this single seedling can grow into an adult smoothly, and it is customary to die in this era, and it is rare for a single seedling to grow into an adult smoothly.

"King Jun, there is Linhuai City in front, and over there in Sizhou, Lord Thorn Shi and Lord Changshi have already greeted them on the dock. Gu Tao cautiously entered the cabin and reported.

"Didn't they ask them not to pick it up?" Jiang Feng was a little displeased, he didn't plan to stay in Sizhou, because the time was too tight, and there were not too many urgent matters in Sizhou, and this kind of ushering and sending was the least pleasing to him.

Gu Tao naturally couldn't answer this kind of topic, so he could only stand aside awkwardly, waiting for instructions.

Jiang Feng naturally knows that this kind of thing is not to blame, Jiang Feng has never been to Sizhou since he took over Xuzhou, and now he is finally passing by, and he has to stay in Sizhou for one night.
