Zhuge Qingyun sat in the side hall of the Yang family in Banzhou, completely leisurely and relaxed, completely without a few pairs of guard eyes full of vigilance and hostility in the accident.

After the Vietnamese army completely took the entire territory of Hezhou, how to deal with the other departments became a major issue that Sun Ning and they needed to put on their agenda.

So Sun Ning took this opportunity to reorganize and drill his subordinates' soldiers and horses and some of the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou to prepare for the next possible battle.

People like Shen Zhou, who are good at dealing with many logistics chores, also began to get busy, allocating grain and grass to appease the people everywhere, and they were all very busy anyway.

However, Zhuge Qingyun, although he has considerable vision and an outstanding mind, he is not interested in many affairs in the army and the government, and he cannot contribute to the imperial court.

So he simply took the initiative to ask Sun Ning for help, planning to go to the barbarian departments as a lobbyist, and use his three-inch incorruptible tongue to add some help to the next major events of the imperial court.

Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it can create suspicion among the barbarian tribes.

For his request, Sun Ning was still a little worried at first, not because he was worried about his ability, but because he was worried about his safety.

But at Zhuge Qingyun's insistence, and with the success of Hezhou in front, Sun Ning finally nodded. He also promised him that as long as he could persuade the ministries to submit to the court, he could make his own decisions on any reasonable terms.

And in order to ensure his safety all the way, Sun Ning even sent Yang Xuan, the guard beside him, to protect Zhuge Qingyun.

This kind of trust and care is enough to make Zhuge Qingyun very moved, and he only thinks that he is a liver and brain, and he also wants to do something for His Majesty the Emperor to lobby all ethnic groups in southern Sichuan.

It's just that the situation after that was very unexpected to him, after he went to several southern Sichuan tribes in a row, he got the same explanation, that is, since the patriarch of the family left their respective stations early in the morning and went to Banzhou, which made Zhuge Qingyun run away continuously.

In the end, he could only venture a little bit and go straight to Banshu.

After all, in terms of strength, the Banzhou Yang clan is much stronger than the other ministries, and it is much more difficult to persuade them to submit to the imperial court.

Moreover, it may not be difficult to convince a single one, but when these ten parts are gathered together, if you want to impress them with words, whether it is a benefit or a threat, the effect will obviously be greatly reduced.

But Zhuge Qingyun still entered Banzhou City and showed his identity to see the head of the Yang family.

Yang Jianting watched outside the door as this scholar-like guy sat there drinking tea without fear, the smile on his face flashed, and then he walked into the hall with the following of several guards.

"You're from Yuzhou?"

After entering the door, he looked Zhuge Qingyun up and down very rudely, looking up and down to salute, with a posture that he didn't want to talk to the other party in detail.

Zhuge Qingyun didn't think it was wrong, and said with a smile: "Under Zhuge Qingyun, I am now the waiter of the Central Rite Department of the Dayue Dynasty......

After taking Hezhou, Sun Ning immediately sealed a large number of officials, such as Yanhu, who had meritorious combat skills, and they were all given the title of generals such as left and right, and Xiao Changyong and a group of Yuzhou officials were directly promoted to high positions such as the Six Ministries and Jiuqing.

Since the Dayue Imperial Court was served by the rebels a few years ago, Sun Ning, the emperor, started a new business in Sichuan and Shu, so he would naturally give out the important positions in the court first.

Although there are some copycats and informal, at least the name is there, and it also makes the officials and others in Yuzhou more willing to work hard after receiving the reward.

Zhuge Qingyun, as a meritorious minister, naturally cannot be treated badly, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites can be regarded as a very important high-level official in the DPRK.

For his title, Yang Jianting just pouted disdainfully, even the territory was only left in the imperial court of two states, how many people would take it seriously, no matter how big the official was?

Zhuge Qingyun didn't dwell on this, and after reporting his name and identity, he directly explained his intentions: "Don't hide it from Patriarch Yang, here, there is a major matter related to the life and death of your Yang family to talk to you." ”

"Life and death?" Yang Jianting sat down, but did not invite the other party to sit down, his face was full of ridicule, "Your Excellency is really alarmist." ”

Then his face sank suddenly: "You know that now that our two sides have become fire and water, you still dare to send it to the door, aren't you afraid that I will order you to kill you?" ”

As soon as he said this, the guards on the left and right quickly stepped forward, drew the sword at their waists, and looked like they would split Zhuge Qingyun's body on the spot at any time, with a murderous aura.

Zhuge Qingyun's body shook slightly, but the panic in his eyes flashed away, and then he laughed: "Patriarch Yang is scaring you." If you really want to kill me, you don't have to let me into your house, just a word, and I'll be in a different place when I'm outside! ”

As soon as he said this, Yang Jianting's face stiffened and he felt a little embarrassed, so he had to wave his hand and signal those guards to retreat first: "I let you in, just to hear what you can say." I just didn't expect it to be such a ......"

"What you are saying below is by no means alarmist, Patriarch Yang is wise, can't you see how dangerous your Yang family is facing now?"

Zhuge Qingyun shook his spirits and said solemnly: "The current Sichuan and Shu can be regarded as being in the midst of great changes that are difficult to have in a thousand years, a decision mistake, not to mention your Banzhou Yang family, even the Long family Mu family, will also suffer from the catastrophe!" ”

The Long family Mu family, which is a huge ethnic family in the southwest, spanning the three southwestern provinces, is a real thousand-year-old Tusi, far from being comparable to the Banzhou Yang family.

It's just that this still can't be believed, Yang Jianting only sneered back: "Really? I'd like to hear about it. ”

Zhuge Qingyun was waiting for this sentence, and immediately said: "Carefully calculated, since the former Song Dynasty broke through Hou Shu, I have not heard the sound of soldiers in the land of Sichuan and Shu for hundreds of years.

"Of course, this has allowed the people of Sichuan and Shu and the family Tusi to live a peaceful and good life, but it has also caused all ethnic groups and tribes to neglect the war, and their strength has long been inferior to the beginning.

"Maybe within Sichuan and Shu, there can still be a fight between the various departments, but if you really have to encounter a strong enemy from outside, such as the elite soldiers specially created by the imperial court this time, do you think you can still have a chance of winning, patriarch?

"You know, the one who captured Hezhou City was only 5,000 soldiers. Even if there is a reason for his internal turmoil, he can't do anything to break tens of thousands of bears' soldiers and horses outside Lianzikou!

"I only have 4,000 elite soldiers in the imperial court, and I can break ten times the enemy in one battle, dare to ask Patriarch Yang, do you have such elite warriors in Banzhou?"

This moment suddenly made Yang Jianting speechless, and the arrogance on his face quickly subsided......
