Chapter 1214: Helong

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "If they think like this, they are really too careful, Qiao Yan went for Cai Wenwen's business, after all, the people of the Cai family will come back from Baizhou one after another in the future, listening to what Liang Xun said, those people have lost nothing, even the business that Xu Shenweng took care of in Yangzhou has disappeared after many lootings, Cai Wenrou plans to hand over his business to Cai Suitian." So I will gradually ignore the business in the future, as for Wu Song is ready to return to the vulgar, I hope he will not have to mix in the army in the future, so that he can gain some experience as an official. ”

One Qiao Yan can help Cai Suitian, then what else do you want Yang Zhi and Liang Xun to do, Shi Mojie shook his head and said, "Don't blame them for being suspicious, it's really you acting weird." Li Qiong went to Hengshan Mansion and thought that you would be a little embarrassed, but who knew that you promoted Guo Hao and a group of Guanzhong people, but you ended up with a benefit. With Wu Song and Qiao Yan's Wu Song ability, no one can doubt that you will make some trouble in Xining Prefecture and Beihui Prefecture, do you want my people to cooperate?"

Yang Zhi couldn't tell Shi Mojie that Wu Song was really in trouble, and Qiao Yan was just a trick; Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Use the amount of talent, I don't have a plan in two places, you just need to pay attention." Let's still talk about Hebei, take advantage of this opportunity, you quickly arrange people from Henan to enter the Jin country, let them sink, and wait until the future war is launched. ”

Shi Mojie was more able to conclude that Yang Zhi had moved, and said with a smile: "Yang Shuai, I heard that Guo Hao and Tian Sheng are both old acquaintances of yours?"

"Yes. Yang Zhi did not hide it: "Guo Hao is the son of the famous general Guo Cheng, Guo Cheng was my father's top boss, and Guo Hao and I are of the same generation; By the way, I don't know what happened to Yelulei in Taiyuan?"

After the Dingbei army occupied Youzhou, Yelu Dashi sent Yelu Lei as an envoy to come, and went to Taiyuan two days ago to discuss with Zhao Kai about joining forces to attack Western Xia, and by the way to carry out trade with Hedong; Yelu Dashi was preparing to attack the Western Regions, and when the Uighur countries were divided, the biggest opponent of Northern Liao in the Western Regions was Western Xia, and now that Western Xia was disabled, it was a good time for Yelu Dashi to suppress his opponent. Yelu Dashi hoped that the Dingbei Army could continue to maintain the offensive, and even asked Yelu Lei to bring a plan, if the Western Xia was to destroy the country, the two states of Gua and Sha would be bounded by the places west and south of the country, and the Northern Liao would not want any state of the Western Xia, and the Great Song Dynasty would no longer expand to the Western Regions.

This idea is very much in line with the mind of Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, he has no time to conquer the Western Regions, as long as he destroys the Western Xia, he can turn back and go all out to deal with the Jin State and compete for the unification; Zhao Kai didn't ask Yang Zhi for advice, and took the initiative to ask because the relationship between Yang Zhi and the Yelu Dashi brothers was really bad, but Shi Mojie would definitely have no problem inquiring about the news.

Shi Mojie shook his head and said: "King Yun means to hang you up and make you feel sorry to ask about it, but Yelulei's guy is very proud in Taiyuan, and he sends him to usher in every day and buys drunk in the restaurant." He takes care of your business very well, almost all the meals are fresh in fish and sheep, and it is estimated that if you eat it again, you will eat all the dishes that can be made. ”

Yang Zhi groaned: "It's not that simple, Yelulei is not a qualified diplomat, for Yelu Dashi, when he goes to the Western Regions, he needs Yelulei to sit in Blackwater City, even if Yelulei is not good at fighting, but maintaining a stable transmission of news should be Yelulei's forte." ”

Shi Mojie is a person who has been immersed in conspiracy all day long, and after drinking two sips of tea, he thought of what Yang Zhi was guessing: "Do you think Yelu Dashi deliberately let Yelu Lei come to Taiyuan, so that Ye Lu Lei faded out of the sight of the Northern Liao military and civilians." But that's right, Yelu Dashi is the emperor, so he naturally hopes that his son will succeed him in the future. ”

"That's the problem. Yang Zhi looked at Shi Mojie and said: "Yelu Dashi can be regarded as a generation of male masters, such a person, and he did not wait for the bird to hide the bow; Yelulei is my sworn brother, and if something happens in Taiyuan, the drudgery of avenging him will fall on my head. ”

Shi Mojie saw through Yang Zhi's intentions and said: "But it is inconvenient for you to contact Yelulei now, and it is impossible to tell Yelulei that you guess that Yelu Dashi is going to be unfavorable to him; ”

Shi Mojie said vaguely, Zhao Kai's people stared at Ye Lu Lei, maybe not to protect Ye Lu Lei, but to check whether Yang Zhi was in contact with Ye Lu Lei; Yang Zhi thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "What you said is that the spring is going to be farming, and I want to pay attention to the Helong area." ”

The Helong area includes part of Xihe Road and Qinfeng Road, and the most important ones are Hezhou and Longzhou, and Hezhou is mainly the local Tubo ethnic groups, even if it is farming, Yang Zhi can only hope for Liu Qi's prestige and ability. But Longzhou is different, the current Longzhou is Shangzhou, leading the four counties of Huangyuan, Huangyang, Wushan, and Long'an, and the level is higher than the base camp of Qinzhou, so at the beginning, Yang Zhi arranged for the four battalions in the Longyou camp to be stationed in Longzhou and completely controlled that place.

Longzhou is located in the triangular beach of the confluence of the thousand rivers and the North River, in terms of area, Longzhou City has the largest area in the provinces of Shaanxi, the terrain is flat, the water source is sufficient, which is lacking in Fengxiang and other state cities. The Guanshan grassland between Qinzhou and Longzhou is concentrated in the valley bottom slope, continuous distribution, high quality and quantity, magnificent, the Sui and Tang dynasties set up the Longyou horse herding supervisor, and the private herding of Wang Hou Xiang is also more stocked here.

Yang Zhi's ideal was to restore the Tang Dynasty's Tuntian to benefit the military prince, that is, the military tun; in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, there were 326 tuntians in Hexi and Longyou, and the Yuli handed over every year was transferred to Lingzhou, Caoxia Yellow River, and entered Taiyuan Cang, not to mention the wealth of Longzhou, which can be compared with Puzhou, so that it can be Shangzhou from the Tang Dynasty.

However, after hundreds of years of climate change and the Tang Dynasty's indulgence of various ethnic groups into Longyou, the current Hexi Corridor is incomplete, even though there is still a large amount of farmland in Hexi and other places, but the yield is quite low, especially after the introduction of Zhancheng rice in the Great Song Dynasty, only Yongxing Military Road in Guanzhong still relies on grain, like the farming of Qinfeng Road is dispensable. The crux of the matter is that Yang Zhi cannot allow this situation to continue, and doing so is tantamount to handing over his fate to others.
