After capturing Meizhou and Pengshan, the Thunderbolt army reported the situation of the battle to Yu Xing as soon as possible. Although Yu Xing led his army to fight in the direction of Chongqing, this urgent official document would soon be delivered to him from Jiading Mansion. The reason why he sent someone to deliver the letter at the first time was because the war in Chongqing was stalemate, and the recapture of the two cities this time could boost morale, at least let a part of the Song army discourage the idea of surrendering. As for whether the imperial court would reward the Thunderbolts for this battle, he didn't care. In fact, the rewards of the imperial court are often lip service but not real, and the Thunderbolt army is not uncommon. Ouyang Xuan's only interest was in the official position, not because he was an official fan, but because he had a reputation that could better integrate the places that were taken back from the Mongols.

In this letter, Ouyang Xuan ordered someone to give a detailed account of the situation of the plague, and the purpose of this was to dispel Yu Xing's idea of recovering Pengshan City. The geographical location of Pengshan City is too important, even if there is a plague, even if Yu Xing wants to force it to go back, the Thunderbolt Army will never give up. It's just that Ouyang Xuan didn't want to turn his face with Yu Xing as a last resort, so he was ready to return Meizhou City to Yu Xing in exchange for Yu Xing's acquiescence that Pengshan belonged to the Thunderbolt Army.

In fact, there was opposition to the return of Meizhou within the Perak Army, and in the eyes of the opponents, this Meizhou city was taken from the Mongols by the soldiers with blood, so why should it be returned to Yu Xing. For this reason, Ouyang Xuan did a lot of persuasion to suppress the objections, in his opinion, Meizhou was too close to Jiading, if it was occupied by the Thunderbolt army, Yu Xing would obviously not agree. Although Yu Xing was helpless to take the Thunderbolt army militarily, as Ouyang Xuan's nominal superior, he would have many bad moves, and he would even cut off the trade route of the Thunderbolt army to the south. The city of Meizhou has long been withered under the rule of the Mongols, and the gains and losses of this city have turned against him, whether from a political or economic point of view, the gains outweigh the losses.

Another reason why Ouyang Xuan did this was to seek Yu Xing's support and obtain the right to Sichuan affairs. Although Yu Xing's actual control territory was only Jiading Mansion, he was also the deputy envoy of Sichuan and the deputy envoy of Chengdu pacification, and was nominally responsible for the affairs of Weimao in the north and the Jiezhou and Yibo regions in the south. It's just that over the years, he has been tired of dealing with the Mongolian army, and he has no energy to manage the affairs of the riverside. Although these Yibo regions were poor, their geographical location was quite important, as evidenced by the repeated invasions of Western Sichuan by the Mongol army from the Songzhou grassland and other Yibo regions.

In Yu Xing's view, the affairs of the river are a chore. The people in the Yibo area are fierce, and the affairs of the border of the Sichuan are wasted on money and food, not to mention, and they must always prevent these barbarians from causing chaos, so he regards this affairs as a hot potato, and he wants to throw it out. The affairs of Yibo in Diao and Yanzhou were good, and he was forced to Cao Zhizhou in Yazhou. But to leave the affairs of the two states of Weimao to the Thunderbolt army made him hesitate in his heart, because the Thunderbolt army has always listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement. After Ouyang Xuan was appointed as the governor of Yongkang, he also wrote a letter to try it, but Ouyang Xuan made a request in his reply: if the Perak army wants to deal with the affairs of the Sichuan, it must include all the affairs of Yibo, including Diao, Yanzhou and Weimao, otherwise they will not be able to obey.

Yu Xing hadn't replied to Ouyang Xuan's request, but Cao Zhizhou didn't agree. On the one hand, Cao Zhizhou already regarded Ouyang Xuan as an enemy in his heart, and he must oppose what the Thunderbolt Army did, and never let go of every opportunity to disgust Ouyang Xuan. On the other hand, if Ouyang Xuan obtained the right to deal with the affairs of the Sichuan side, the Thunderbolt army would be able to do business in the Yibo region more freely, and would be able to pass through the Yazhou border in a justifiable manner, which Cao Zhizhou obviously could not tolerate. For this reason, Cao Zhizhou also wrote to Yu Xing, asking him to grant him the authority to do the entire Sichuanbian affairs. He wants to return his body in the way of others, disgusting and disgusting Ouyang Xuan.

Yu Xing saw that Cao Zhizhou's opposition was so resolute, and he hesitated for a while. How did he not know the reason for Cao Zhizhou's opposition, just as he also knew before that Cao Zhizhou used the Sichuan affairs as an excuse to take the opportunity to bargain over money and grain taxes, but in fact, he scraped the money of many Yibo merchants. Seeing that this Sichuanbian affair power had become a sweet and sweet again, Yu Xing put the matter on hold again, on the one hand, he moved the mind of waiting for the price and selling, and was ready to take this opportunity to make a fortune; On the other hand, the power of Sichuanbian affairs was originally the authority of Chengdu's deputy envoy to pacify, and it was illegal to entrust others to handle it. Cao Zhizhou also has a backer in the court, and if he uses this matter to join Yu Xing's book, it will really make him feel bad.

Ouyang Xuan was determined to get the right to deal with the affairs of the river, including the direction of Jieyan Prefecture. Militarily, it was to prevent the Mongols from invading western Sichuan from the archery furnace side. Zelang's people will definitely not be able to stop the Mongol invasion, and Yazhou will not be reliable. Let's not talk about whether Cao Zhizhou's wall grass will fall to the Mongols, even if he doesn't lure the wolf into the room, those low-powered Xiang troops in Yazhou are by no means the opponents of the Mongolian army. Economically, the region is currently the main trading object of the Perak Army, which not only provides a large amount of profits for the Perak Army, but also provides strategic resources such as fire, copper, mercury, and horses, and has even become an important source of troops. The soldiers recruited here are extremely physical, hard-working and extremely tenacious, and they are elite soldiers after rigorous training.

In addition to hinting in his letter to Yu Xing, Ouyang Xuan hinted that Meizhou City would be exchanged for the right to handle Sichuanbian affairs, and he also sent someone to Lin'an to inform Li Kaipeng that he would do his best to handle the matter. Of course, it will cost Li Kaipeng a lot of money to promote this, but it will not be too difficult to think about it. Because whether the Thunderbolt Army completely annihilated the Mongolian army and the cavalry of the Colored Eyes at the Widow's Cliff in Maozhou, or the heavy damage to the Mongolian army to capture the two cities of Yazhou and Pengshan this time, this is a heavy military feat, and it is particularly eye-catching in the erosive Sichuan battlefield. Ouyang Xuan also told Li Kaipeng that when he tried to explain the reasons for this matter, he could imply that if the Thunderbolt army obtained the right to deal with the affairs of Yibo on the Sichuan border, it would definitely boost its morale, and then slowly plan for strategic locations such as Chengdu and Genting City.

The journey to Lin'an was long and difficult, so Ouyang Xuan asked Dong Hu to select ten people from the special forces as messengers. Although the Song and Mongolian armies were fighting in Chongqing at the moment, and this section of the river was already forbidden, the lightly armed messenger team could disembark from Luzhou, then detour to Fuzhou through the path, and then take the boat south to Lin'an. If the direction of Chongqing is really impassable, then detour Banzhou and Sizhou from the direction of Luzhou, enter Baojing Prefecture or Yuanzhou and Chenzhou on Hubei Road, and then enter the Yangtze River along the river. Some time ago, when the Perak Army caravan was opening up trade routes, it had made a special trip to visit the Banzhou Yang clan according to Ouyang Xuan's wishes, and the merchants of the two sides had reached a business agreement. It is not a problem to use Banzhou and ask it to send people to guide and escort it.

On the surface, Ouyang Xuan's exchange of Meizhou for the right to Yibo affairs on the Sichuan border was just to prevent the Mongolian army's "Han belly" plot and obtain commercial benefits, but in fact, it was for the benign operation of the Perak army's financial and taxation system. At the beginning of the rise of Liuliba, the Perak Army raised the slogan of not levying grain in order to win the support of the people, and now in order to attract the population and restore agricultural production, it still adheres to this policy, and has achieved excellent results. It's just that this policy has put great pressure on the Thunderbolts' fiscal and tax system. At present, the Thunderbolt Army relied on industries and trades such as salt and iron to obtain super-profits, and a large number of prisoners of war were used as free labor to maintain their daily operations. "As soon as the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold", once there is a large-scale war, the financial and taxation system of the Thunderbolt army will cause a huge deficit. By obtaining the right to manage the affairs of the Sichuan border, and then through the large-scale sale of industrial products, not only the Yibo area such as Jieyan Weimao, but also the entire western Sichuan, including Yazhou, Meizhou, Jiading, and even the Mongol-occupied areas, can be incorporated into the economic system of the Perak Army, and then obtain a steady stream of funds.
