Don't look at what Yang Jianting said lightly when he was the leader of other departments before, as if he didn't take the Yuzhou Yue Army seriously at all. But in fact, he was already worried, surprised, and playing drums in his heart.

No matter what kind of conspiracy and trickery was used, it only took a few thousand people to take Hezhou, and the five parts of the bear were greatly injured, but they were all real achievements. He asked himself that he was a soldier of Banzhou, and he couldn't do these two things, he could deceive others, but he couldn't deceive himself.

But soon, Yang Jianting adjusted his mood again and said calmly: "Your Excellency wants to use this matter to threaten me with Banzhou, if I don't cooperate with the Vietnamese army, I will end up like Hezhou?" ”

Zhuge Qingyun hurriedly shook his head: "Patriarch Yang misunderstood, I don't mean to threaten you in the slightest, I just state a fact."

"After all, Banzhou is different from Hezhou, compared to the dispersion of the five departments of the bear, the Yang family has been operating here for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for people to be divided in a few words. And Banzhou's defense is even stronger than Hezhou, where even the city walls have been demolished. ”

"Hmph, it's good that you know."

"However, what I said before Xia was by no means alarmist, if Banzhou really wanted to be an enemy of the imperial court, the fate of the entire Yang family would only be worse than that of the five departments of Cangxiong. They can still hide in the mountains now and survive, but you, once you lose, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Jianting's eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a hint of threat.

Zhuge Qingyun didn't feel flustered, just continued to look at him and said, "Patriarch Yang, the wealth of Banzhou should be ten times that of Hezhou, right?" The population is about the same? ”

Yang Jianting snorted, expressing his disdain to answer this obvious question.

In terms of financial power, the Banzhou Yang clan is the best among the barbarians of all ethnic groups in southern Sichuan, and even in the entire Sichuan and Shu, it is also in the top five, and how can it be compared with the five cangxiong departments?

"Over the years, there should have been many forces that coveted the wealth of Banzhou that had thought about you, and even made a move. It's just that there is no suitable reason, and second, there is a lack of strength, so he finally misses. ”

Zhuge Qingyun smiled and said: "It can be said that your Banzhou Yang clan has already made a lot of foreign enemies, and they are just one less chance."

"And once you go to war with the court, have you ever wondered what the outcome will be?

"The Yang family is bound to suffer huge losses, not only because of the casualties of the children, but also because of the consumption of their own money, food, and other strength, but also because of your own lack of righteousness.

"In the final analysis, if no one in all parties has really stood on their own feet today, the world is still more than the world, and there is only one emperor in the world!

"And you, who were sealed by the imperial court at the beginning, do not think about serving the country now, but are enemies of the imperial court, that is, rebellion and rebellion, and everyone will be punished!

"Patriarch Yang, you said, if those forces of Sichuan and Shu who covet the rich land of Banzhou take advantage of the situation to send troops after your strength is greatly damaged, how long can you hold on?"

Yang Jianting's expression changed again, which was the key issue he was most worried about, and it was also the reason why he wavered.

Zhuge Qingyun didn't wait for him to speak, and said: "The Yang family has relied on the left and right sources over the years, not only to occupy Banzhou, but also to make a fortune. But such a good day will not last forever, when the current situation appears, you can only throw to the side, you can no longer be like before, otherwise you will become the enemy of both sides, and the first to be destroyed is your Banzhou Yang clan!

"As for the Sichuan and Shu tribes you invited, if things go well, they will naturally cooperate with you, but once the war is unfavorable and threatens their own survival, your alliance is not as good as the five cangxiong tribes, just a few words from the imperial court, and some people will help us like the two gray bows of Cangshan."

Looking at the other party with a stiff expression and a flickering gaze, Zhuge Qingyun said as if he had thought of something: "By the way, I almost forgot that you still want to rely on the forces of all parties in northern Sichuan."

"But does Patriarch Yang really think they can be trusted? I'm afraid their appetite will only be greater than that of the southern Sichuan tribes, right?

"False Dao strategy, Patriarch Yang should also understand, no matter whether they can take my Yuzhou or not, once they wait for their real army to overwhelm the border, your Banzhou is afraid that it will become their meal.

"As for the promise of the Tang Sect, it is even less worth mentioning. Patriarch Yang has always said that Han people cannot be trusted, but don't forget, in fact, the Tang Sect is also Han people, and their status is far inferior to that of the imperial court, and their promises are even worse than those of His Majesty.

"Which is true and which is false, who is more credible, I think with the wisdom of Patriarch Yang, he should be able to make a judgment easily!"

If Yang Jianting still had some expectations for the Tang Sect and the forces in northern Sichuan before this, then now, there is really only a strong fear left.

He wants to eat both ends, left and right, but think about it carefully, in the current situation, if he really does this, he is afraid that he will become the target of everyone, and he will really die on a greedy word.

At this time, Zhuge Qingyun softened his tone again, and said sincerely: "Patriarch Yang, your Banzhou Yang clan is still very different from other tribes, you have long moved into the city and lived like Han people, so His Majesty the Emperor will attach great importance to you and hope to pull you into the imperial army."

"In the future, after taking Sichuan and Shu, the imperial court will definitely not treat you badly. Your Majesty said before I came, as long as the Yang family stands on the side of the imperial court and makes contributions, you can let the Yang family Yongzhen Banzhou, and in the future, when Your Majesty returns to the Central Plains and revives the Great Echi, he will seal the entire Sichuan and Shu to you, and let you be the real Sichuan and Shu Tusi, wouldn't it be much more promising than nesting in a small Banzhou?

"Patriarch Yang, after all, Your Majesty is the lord of the world, the king of a country, and his promise is much more weighty than others, you don't think that Your Majesty will do something to destroy his reputation for the sake of this place of restraint, right?"

Yang Jianting is really tempted now, the Yang family has been in Banzhou for hundreds of years, and has not expanded its influence beyond Banzhou, and now the emperor promises that this opportunity is really in front of him.

And compared with the little benefits that Tang Men promised to himself, what the imperial court gave was the real generosity.

His eyes flickered, and he muttered for a long time before he raised his eyes to look at the other party: "What you said is true, aren't you lying to me with big words?" ”

"I don't dare to falsely preach the holy decree. If Patriarch Yang doesn't believe it, he can send someone to Yuzhou to ask His Majesty in person...... "Zhuge Qingyun has a big package, although he has never received such a promise from Sun Ning, but at this time, he does not hesitate at all.

After staring at him for a long time, Yang Jianting finally slapped the table: "Okay, I believe you." Then you say, how should I cooperate with the court? ”
