The "your third uncle" in Yang Wenchang's words is actually not his brother, and the two are not related by blood, but in terms of intimacy, they are not much worse than siblings.

Without him, it is because they both belong to the same line as Yang Fuguang and Yang Fugong.

Yang Wenchang and Yang Chengfang should be the next generation of the Yang brothers' righteous sons, the conditions of the places where they can settle are not too good, and these places in the Central Plains and Jianghuai are not their turn, and only remote states and counties such as Jinshang and Fengliang are their place to stay.

However, these Yang clans entrenched in the mountainous areas of Shannan Xidao still survived extremely tenaciously, and they were no longer looking for an opportunity to break out of the cage all the time, and now they have finally waited for the opportunity.

Yang Wenchang fought to the death with the Tubo people in the west to strengthen his strength, while Yang Chengfang, who was quiet and obscure, was silent in the mountains of the two states of gold and commerce, just waiting for an opportunity.

Even if Yang Wenchang had quietly joined forces with the party members, not only defeated the Tubo people, but also controlled most of the entire Shannan West Road, Yang Chengfang still stood still, in order to prevent Nanyang from being overly vigilant about himself, and even facing each other with swords.

Yang Chengfang knows very well that his current strength is not enough to compete with Nanyang, Nanyang can make himself sit unstable here as long as he puts a little effort, because of this, he must endure humiliation and burden, even if Nanyang has to mediate for the party and the court last year, and he wants to lead the army through Shangzhou in a big way, Yang Chengfang also gave way to the road pass without complaint, which made Nanyang also very satisfied.

The location of the gold merchant is too important, and this is the throat of Guanzhong into Jingxiang.

The Central Plains is now occupied by the Shatuo people, and the Yang clan does not yet have the strength to compete with the Shatuo people, so the only wish is to control Guanzhong and Chang'an, and only by swallowing these two places can the Yang clan really come out.

Now that the clouds have finally cleared, Nanyang now has no energy to take care of the gold merchants, the Shatuo people are fighting in the north, and the south is about to go, all of Nanyang's energy must be focused on the prevention of the north, and this is also an opportunity for the Yang family.

Of course, Yang Wenchang is not stupid enough to jump out and go to the imperial court, he doesn't want to bear this infamy, there is a black thug like a party member, seeing Shatuo people showing off their power in the Central Plains, how long can the party people endure it?

"It's a pity that I can't bite Nanyang, I'm afraid the third uncle is also sorry, right?"

Naturally being called Da Lang is Yang Wenchang's eldest son Yang Gongyan, and it can be seen from the essence revealed between his eyebrows that this person has advanced to the level of the small heaven, and the early stage of the Ning Dan period has been stable, and he is impacting the middle stage.

"Well, there must be some regrets, but the future is long, and we still have a chance. Yang Wenchang's eyes were a little more gloomy, "The world thinks that the strength of the Shatuo people is unparalleled, especially after defeating the Great Liang, it has reached the peak, Li Cunhou does have some capable people under his hands, Shi Jingjiao, Liu Zhiyuan, Guo's father and son, Fu Yanqing and An Chongrong, are all a generation of heroes, and Feng Dao and He Ning in Wenchen are also characters, if Li Cunqiao or Li Siyuan is there, a certain person would not dare to hit the idea of Jingxiang in the Central Plains, but Li Cunhou, hehe, he checked some, whether he can control these people, a certain has to take a good look. ”

Yang Gongyan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask: "Father, can't the Shatuo people destroy Nanyang in one fell swoop? Nanyang is much worse than Daliang." ”

"How do you look at this, Daliang looks like a behemoth, but for so many years, especially when Zhu Yun was in office, almost all his energy was spent on how to balance the internal contradictions, and he had no intention of anything else. Yang Wenchang shook his head, "To say that Nanyang also has weaknesses, they haven't fought much, but their magic strength is strong, and there are Funiu Mountain and Fangcheng Mountain are steep to defend, and there are even mountain barbarians to help, if they stick to the line from Luyang Pass to Fangcheng Mountain, the Shatuo people may not be able to take much advantage." ”

"Who is more beneficial to lose both?" Yang Gongyan suddenly asked.

"That's a good question, Da Lang, if Shatuo and Nanyang hold each other, who is more beneficial?" Yang Wenchang looked at the other party and said: "If the two sides hold each other, it will drag the strength of both sides and win time for others, and those who need time will be the most advantageous." ”

"Xuzhou, Caizhou, and us, and maybe the Khitans?" Yang Gongyan hesitated.

"Well, in my opinion, the biggest gainers should be Xuzhou and us, followed by Caizhou, the Khitan side, we don't know very well what the strength of the Khitan under the rule of Yelu Deguang and Shu Luping is, it seems that they can suppress Lulong Town, but Liu Shouguang is not good at stubble, so time is not the most urgent for the Khitans, I am worried that Xuzhou is planning a lot, will it attack Hebei?" Yang Wenchang's sense was very keen.

"Hebei, why not Chu Yang and Jiangnan?" Yang Gongyan seemed to disbelieve, "Jiang Feng has already achieved Yanyun and Pinglu, and the northern land is a burden to him, and his current situation has suppressed the Central Plains controlled by the Shatuo people, and there is no need to march into the dilapidated Hebei again!"

"Logically, if Jiang Feng is a shoucheng, he will take Jiangnan, but if this person wants to seek the world, he must take Hebei. Yang Wenchang's eyes were like eagles, "In the past, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and obtained the land of Hebei, laying the foundation of the Wei and Jin dynasties to win the world. ”

"Father, I think the times are different, and I'm afraid I can't generalize. Yang Gongyan disagreed with his father's point of view, "In the past, the south has not been developed, and the land of Jianghuai is far less populated than the Central Plains of Hebei, and the south of the Yangtze River is mostly a wild land, of course, it is not of much value, but only since the Wei and Jin dynasties, especially in the Tang Dynasty, the development of the south has been greatly promoted, and Runchang, Suzhou and Hangzhou are all anointed places, and the rich side is not comparable to the land of Hebei at all, as long as Jiang Feng is not stupid, he will not choose Hebei." ”

"Da Lang, you only see Qian Yin on this point, that's right, on wealth, Jiangnan is definitely better than Hebei, but Hebei is the best place in the world, you should note that the Hu people are all from the north, if only the south, then against the Hu people will always be on the defensive, especially the Hu people are all cavalry-based, this kind of high and difficult mobility and impact, the southern army is difficult to bear, if you can't find a way to maintain the balance of power as much as possible in the battle with the Hu people, then it will always be in a state of passive beating, the disadvantages of Shu Han and Wu in the face of Wei and Jin can be seen, and the Hu cavalry is even worse。 ”

Yang Wenchang's words are not unreasonable, but Yang Gongyan still feels that this alone is difficult to convince people.

Hebei is dilapidated, and Liu Shouguang of Lulong Town is not an idle person, if Jiang Feng just wants to gain a foothold in Hebei, what is the point?

Is it really going to be impossible to compete with the Khitans on the Hebei Plain? The question is what if the Khitans are defeated? Can they still kill all the way to Raole and Bohai?

In contrast, the benefits of taking Jiangnan are too many, and with Jiang Feng's current strength, he also has the ability to conquer Jiangnan.

Knowing that his son is still a little unenlightened, Yang Wenchang didn't say much, Xuzhou is not yet his turn to think about it, for his own side, what he should consider is how to use the Shatuo people and Nanyang during the war to swallow Guanzhong and Chang'an, which no one cares about.

Without Nanyang's support, now the Shatuo people have no respect for Guanzhong, or the imperial court has no meaning for the Shatuo people, the Liang has been destroyed, Li Cunhou has entered the Central Plains, Bianluo is in hand, and it can also be called a lonely widow.

"Da Lang, whether Xuzhou will enter Hebei, we can wait and see who is right. What we have to worry about now is Guanzhong. Yang Wenchang hesitated for a moment, "The party members are not angry, maybe we can invite the Uighurs to play a game?"

"Ganzhou Uighurs?" Yang Gongyan had a headache, he found that his father especially liked to play this kind of chaotic war, stirring up more forces to bring in, so as to profit from the chaos, if it was only a corner of Fengliang before, it would be fine, but now he almost monopolizes the Shannan West Road, and even the Tubo people have been driven away by his own side, even if it is a party member, he is not afraid, and now he will pull the Ganzhou Uighurs in, what is the point?

"Father, what is the significance of the Uighurs from Lagan Prefecture? They have always been at odds with the party members, and they also have to guard against the Guiyi army in the west, where can they draw out how much strength?" Yang Gongyan said with a frown.

"It is precisely because they have bad relations with the party members that they can be used by us. Yang Wenchang showed a sinister smile on his face, "Dalang, you should know that the situation of the Uighurs in Ganzhou is not very good, after the Tubo people were defeated by us, the Uighurs lost their helpers, and the Dangxiang people are getting more and more powerful, and they are also restless, if we show them a way, they are still not grateful to follow them? ”

"I'm afraid the Ganzhou Uighurs are not so easy to go south, right?" Yang Gongyan still felt a little unreliable, the Ganzhou Uighurs had settled in Ganzhou and Suzhou for decades, although the situation was difficult, but this had to go south into Guanzhong, trek thousands of miles, how could it be so easy?

"Da Lang, don't underestimate these Uighurs, the Guiyi army on the sandbank has changed hands, and the attitude of the Guiyi army towards the Uighurs in the next step is not clear, they are also panicking now, if they are caught between the Guiyi army and the party people, it is not clear whether they can hold on, we will show him the way now, why don't he hurry up and explore?" Yang Wenchang smiled and said: "Look at it, if the Ganzhou Uighurs come in, the party members will have to be much more obedient, otherwise they will ......"

Yang Gongyan suddenly realized that his father was using the Ganzhou Uighurs to beat the party members, and this hand was quite exquisite.
