Besides, Yang Tingfeng was already for military affairs, which made him feel irritable.

However, at this juncture, there was another incident, and the anger did not come to one place.

He glanced at the local officials behind him, looked at He Ruobi, and scolded loudly: "When is it?" This Bo Xi barbarian, not to mention sharing the big things with the captain, is in the mood to fight in a group! ”

He Ruobi saw that his face was full of unhappiness, so he stepped forward and leaned close to his ear and said, "My lord, the knives have been moved on both sides, and they have seen red, and they have injuries, but fortunately there are no dead." The local Imperial Guards are hurrying to this place, and I heard from the local soldiers that he is also a young general with a very deep background, not much inferior to the adult's family......"

Yang Tingfeng snorted and said disdainfully: "He Ruobi, if you kid has something to say, just say it!" ”

He Ruobi looked around, pulled Yang Tingfeng aside, and said in a very low voice: "My lord, what I mean here is that after all, they are all officers and soldiers, and they all have backers behind them; In addition, we are fighting as a guest army, in other people's territory. As the saying goes, 'a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake on the ground', at this time, it is better for adults to turn big things into small things, and it is better to turn small things into small things; otherwise, when it comes to the court, the faces of both parties are not good-looking. ”

Listening to He Ruobi's words in the clouds, Yang Tingfeng already hated Bo Xi and the others for not being angry, and the things came one by one, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he said coldly: "Gather the crowd to fight privately, no matter what the cause is, according to the law of the Great Zhou, the participating soldiers will each hit forty military sticks, and the leading officer will have eighty canes, in order to set an example, the sergeants on both sides are human witnesses, I don't believe that the adult will favor his own soldiers." If that is the case, the court military camp has its own opinion! ”

As he spoke, he took out a waist card from his body and threw it to He Ruobi, "Detain the sergeants who participated in the brawl from our side first, pass the pass, heal the wounds that should be healed, and then make a plan when the steward over there comes." ”

Listening to Yang Tingfeng's meaning, it seems that this time he plans to act according to the law and will not tolerate it?

When He Ruobi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little confident in his heart, so he answered loudly: "My lord, since you want to bring it to justice and arrest people, the people over there have also moved, and even moved the knife first, are they also detained?" ”

When Yang Tingfeng heard this, he muttered in his heart for a long time: "Damn, bullying Lao Tzu's soldiers, you still dare to use a knife?" In the hands of your Yang Ye, don't you break your skin and flesh? ”

However, he thought so in his heart, but said in his mouth: "That's it, it's not our people, it's not appropriate to catch it, it's better to let those over there, do it yourself, you can't run anyway." ”

He Ruobi wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw Yang Tingfeng waving his hand at him, he shook his head, so he had to retire first.

Back in the camp, Yang Tingfeng first went to visit the wounded sergeant, asked what had happened, and then returned to his camp.

At this time, Xiao Wolf had also returned to Jiaocha, seeing that Yang Tingfeng was silent, he sat down on the wooden chair, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "The matter has passed, and Brother Yang has also known, the people on both sides have only suffered some minor injuries, and no one has died, so why bother so much?" ”

Yang Tingfeng pinched the bridge of his nose, whether it was physical or mental, he was too tired during this time, so he said weakly: "Old Xiao, the matter has not passed." I've figured this out, Bo Xi beat that person hard, his name is Li Min, his father is the local guard, called Li Chong, from Longxi Chengji. ”

Xiao Wolf was puzzled and asked: "This Chengji Li family, Xiao has heard a little, claiming to be the descendant of the Han general Li Ling, but Li Ling has no genealogy to find after entering the Xiongnu, which is doubtful." The ancestor was in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but he served as a general of Hengye, although he was also a wealthy family, but he was not the Li family in Longxi; If you talk about the background, the adult is a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family, so there is no need to be afraid of him at all. ”

Yang Tingfeng smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Afraid? I can't talk about it, it's just that Li Min has a grandfather named Li Xian. Qualifications, quite old, are the elders of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty and the three dynasties of this dynasty; The official position is not very big, and he became a hussar general during his lifetime, and the prince of Hexi County...... After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of General of the Pillar State, the Governor of the Great Metropolis, the Military of the Ten Prefectures such as Jingyuan Qin, and the Assassin of the Yuan Prefecture. Also, his two uncles, Li Yuan and Li Mu, are the third dukes, the two uncles are thorns, and the two uncles are county dukes..... Lao Xiao, you say that this thing is so easy to pull down? ”

Xiao Wolf was curious: "What else do they want?" We can't just condemn our soldiers and let their men go unpunished. ”

"Quite possibly!" Yang Tingfeng was not without worries: "Not only that, their Li family is the head snake of the Yongliang land, the ancestors have been guarding here for generations, resisting Rong Di, fighting against Rouran and Tuyuhun, we are stationed here, in the future, we will have to deal with their family more." If only ........"

"Xiao understood, although this Chengji Li clan is not as noble as the one in Longxi, it is not something that can be dealt with at will." Xiao Wolf sighed and whispered, "If it is not handled properly today, I am afraid that it will be difficult to say that there will be worries in the future." ”

"What worries?" Suddenly, outside the camp, someone asked in a long voice.

The two of them were taken aback, and when they looked up, they saw Pei Ju leading the horse and pacing in slowly, followed by four people, all of whom also led the horses.

Yang Tingfeng raised his eyes and looked:

The first person was a middle-aged man with a slightly yellow complexion and wearing Shu brocade, with three locks of black beard fluttering in the wind.

Next to him, he was a tall and thin young man dressed in colorful clothes, shaped like a bamboo pole, and slightly with the appearance of Wuxi Man in Shuzhong, seeing Yang Tingfeng, his expression was quite arrogant.

The third person, about thirty years old, was born like a crown of jade, with delicate eyebrows, handsome and unmatched, extremely energetic, saw Yang Tingfeng, nodded slightly, and said hello.

The last one is an old man, about fifty years old, with a childish face and a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, which is very eye-catching.

Seeing that Pei Ju and the guests had arrived, Xiao Wolf hurriedly got up, boiled water to make tea, and instructed the guards to go to the town to find a wine shop and book good wine and food.

Yang Tingfeng was full of smiles, and hurriedly greeted: Everyone, it's been hard all the way, please, please.......

Half an hour later, there was a wine shop in the city of Yurong.

It is said to be a liquor store, but in fact it is just a very crude shop, but the store has also put a lot of thought into it, bricks, tiles, and wood.

Outside the door of the store, a bare poplar pole was erected, swaying in the wind, and the word "wine" was written on the pole, which was full of style.

Because of the arrival of guests, the men specially covered the fur of snow-white animals, and on the copper fruit bowl, there were seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as a lamb roasted and oily, and several jars of fine wine.

According to Pei Ju, they are the Zhou family in Langzhong, the Gou family in Hanchang, the Gong family in Anhan, and the representatives of the Du family in Shu County.

The wealthy families in Shu are naturally more than these, but most of them have no intention of going out, they just want to guard their own one-third of an acre, hug their concubines, live their own small lives, and be a soil emperor.

Only these four seem to have shown strong interest, but they have not explicitly expressed their support for Yang Tingfeng.

This time, they just took this opportunity to deliberately send people to follow Pei Ju to the land of Yongliang to inspect and inspect and take a look at random.

Even so, Yang Tingfeng was still warmly received and courteous. No, Captain Yang pointed to the roasted whole sheep and smiled at the four of them: "This is freshly slaughtered, freshly roasted local lamb, everyone, try something new?" ”

As he spoke, he picked up a knife, cut off a large piece of mutton, stuffed it into his mouth, and praised: "This roast lamb is different from Zisai Bianguan, it is very dry, crispy, and there is no smell, not bad." ”

The representative of the Langzhong Zhou clan interrupted him, "Lord Yang, I came here with Mr. Pei, I just want to know as soon as possible that the real intention of the adults to invite us here is not to eat some roast sheep!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Pei Ju immediately smiled, and said, "You have come here from afar, so you should eat first and then ......."

"Forget it." The tall and thin young man got up and said, "So, I still retired from below." With that, he straightened up, arched his hand towards the other three party representatives, turned and left.

Yang Tingfeng hurriedly got up, took a step forward, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "This brother, don't be impatient." With that, he grabbed the man's wrist, and suddenly, the young man felt a strong force coming from his palm, and in a moment, he couldn't break free, so he could only re-sit down.

"Hmm." Yang Tingfeng raised his head, his eyes swept sharply on the faces of several people, and he said straight to the point: "Okay, that's the case, Yang said it directly." I have invited you to come here to borrow food, money, and troops from you. ”

Although several deputies had already expected the matter of borrowing grain, Yang Tingfeng was surprised when he suddenly proposed a new treaty on borrowing money and borrowing troops.

Pei Ju was stunned, and hurriedly gave Yang Tingfeng a look, as if asking: My lord, this seems to be different from what was said at the beginning?

Yang Tingfeng picked up the wine bowl, saluted everyone, drank it all, and said with a slight smile: "Several, this lieutenant came in a hurry, and the preparation was not sufficient, resulting in insufficient grain and grass, old arrows, and the source of reserve troops and many other aspects are difficult to implement, if you can help, Yang will repay him heavily!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was silence.

The faces of the wealthy families in Shu have different expressions, some are arrogant, some are calm, some are smiling, and some are contemplative, but they can't hide the greedy light in their eyes.

For thousands of years, the sphere of influence of the wealthy clan in Shuzhong could only shrink in the small land of Yizhou.

In the territory of the Central Plains of China, Shu, Man, and Yi have always existed, and they are as old as the Han people, and they are also the descendants of the Huaxia people.

However, because of its remote location, it was not really included in the control system of the Central Plains Dynasty, and at the same time, it was also an area where the government control was relatively weak.

Because of the marginality of the region, it was far away from the dynasties that had the north as the political and cultural center at that time

Although Shu was briefly included in the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, it was not really included in the dynastic ruling system, so it still has to be called "the land outside the country".

Since the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, there have been continuous civil wars in the Central Plains.

Under the condition that the ruling power of the dynasty was getting weaker and weaker, the "borderlandization" of the wealthy forces of Bashu gradually developed into an independent force, a country within a country.

In addition, the Shu road is difficult, and there are often mixed places of different ethnic groups in such areas, and the local wealthy forces often have a very close connection with the local barbarian forces, and form an intricate relationship of interests, which makes the geopolitics of the wealthy people even stronger - outsiders can't get in, and they can't get out

In a word, the wealthy people of Shudi, due to the existence of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, do not lack soldiers, horses, money and food, but also because of their embarrassing geographical location, hindering their development.

Although Yongliang is said to be a bitter cold place, no matter what, it is also the first step for them to get out of Shuzhong.

Finally, the fifty-year-old man spoke: "The old man appreciates Lord Yang's straightforwardness very much, and this attitude will be the basis for our future cooperation." But what the old man wants to know is, if the Du family of Shu County borrows money and grain or even lends you soldiers, what is the return that the adult is talking about?"

Yang Tingfeng laughed, grabbed a handful of loess from the ground, and said with a smile: "Land, isn't the land in the Western Regions the best return...... Of course, if you are old, you can open some of the military sources of Shu to Yang; I will also repay you in other aspects, such as the exemption from the three taxes on the Silk Road, the provision of escorts for caravans, the purchase of war horses and weapons in the Western Regions, etc......"

"The Silk Road...... What a tempting condition. At this time, the handsome middle-aged man with a face like a crown of jade, showed strong interest, he tore off a piece of mutton, put it in his mouth, and said slightly: "However, Lord Yang, this Silk Road, I also have one in Shu, and even, it is a thousand years earlier than the Silk Road you said......
