When the will of the imperial court center was transmitted to Liangxiang, Yu Kuang specially organized a small banquet for Xu Beiyou to celebrate, and there were not many people at the banquet, except for Xu Beiyou and Yu Kuang, and then Qian Muzhai, Zhao Qing, Zhang Yuping, Li Shentong and others, just filled a table, Bingchen did not go to the banquet because he did not like such occasions.

Although the two Xiang have been besieged for many days at this time, Yu Kuang, as the person with the highest status in the two Xiang, wants to hold a banquet is not difficult, in addition to a jar of thirty-year-old Huadiao daughter red that has just been taken out of the cellar, there are exquisite four meat and four vegetarian hot and cold dishes, and the staple food is glutinous millet, fine noodles, fine buckwheat, glutinous rice and other thick and thin collocation, omnivorous treasures, very exquisite.

The chopsticks are white ivory chopsticks, and the wine glass is the blue glaze of the Dachu official kiln, which can be seen to be luxurious.

Yu Kuang, as the local host of this banquet, never thought that Xu Beiyou would be promoted so quickly, in just a few days, he jumped from an idle position of the governor to the left governor of the Chinese army with the seal of the general of Pingyu, according to the law system of the Great Qi, now Xu Beiyou has the power to control the generals of the south of the Yangtze River, of course, including him, the left governor of the rear army of Jiangnan.

The jar of thirty years of aging was placed in front of Yu Kuang at this time, there was no attendant at this banquet, he personally picked up the wine jar, slowly got up from his seat, and said with a smile: "This jar of wine is the cellar of the fourteenth year of Taiping, when Emperor Taizu was still in power, thirty years passed in a blink of an eye, a generation of new people replaced the old, and the year of returning to the south was not enough to wear the seal of the general, and the hero was a teenager, so I used this jar of wine to pay tribute to the south." ”

After speaking, Yu Kuang first poured a full glass for Xu Beiyou, and then poured wine for himself and others, but it was only eight points full.

Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand and twisted the wine glass, and said with a smile: "With the strength of the good wind, send me to the blue sky." Xu thanked Governor Yudu. ”

The two toasted each other, and then each drank it all.

However, the two of them are sitting and standing together, just like the status of the two now, which has been completely reversed.

At the beginning, Yu Kuang took office as the governor of the left capital of the Jiangnan Army, and the spring breeze was proud, and Xu Beiyou at that time had to take refuge in him, the king of Jiangnan, but today, it has become Yu Kuang to use the power of Xu Beiyou to defend the two Xiang, after this will came down, it is to make Xu Beiyou become Yu Kuang's top boss, and I can't help but let the "flying bear" in the four handsome people think of an old saying that has been said rotten by countless people, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth. In fact, then again, where is it necessary to use thirty years, just three years is enough.

In this banquet, there is Qian Muzhai, a great Confucian in the world, and Zhao Qing, an old man who has experienced several ups and downs, plus the exquisite Zhang Yuping and the gag Li Shentong, which are quite enjoyable.

After the joy was gone, everyone got up and left, only Xu Beiyou and Yu Kuang remained in place.

Yu Kuang smelled of wine, but he didn't want to drink, and said: "Nangui, so far, I have to say some things." ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Governor Yudu, please speak." ”

"Now that you are returning to the south, you are already wearing the seal of the general of Pinglu, and you are the governor of the left capital of the Chinese army, I can still call you Nangui by relying on the old and selling the old, if it is according to the unwritten rules of officialdom, I should call you Nanshuai. Yu Kuang folded his hands and said in a heavy tone: "Nan...... Shuai, looking at the imperial court means that you will be in charge of the overall situation in the southeast, I Yu Kuang is a general of the defeated army, and I should do my best to assist, but today's Jiangnan dilemma is not a hundred thousand Tianzi pro-army can be solved, after all, Xiao Jin's army has not lost its vitality, Dajiang is still blocked by the Wei army, and even Liangxiang is already in danger, the top priority is to solve the siege of Liangxiang and the Huzhou dilemma. ”

Xu Beiyou nodded and asked, "How to solve this dilemma?"

Yu Kuang got up and took a map of the army, spread it out in front of Xu Beiyou, and then leaned over and stretched out his hand in the direction of the White Emperor City and knocked lightly, "The key is still Sun Shaotang in Shuzhou, if the Shu army wants to go out of Shu, Xiao Jin can't stop it, and there is no way to stop it, but there is a key premise for the Shu army to go out of Shu, that is, Shuzhou is safe, and it is said that the world is not chaotic in Shu first, this time there is no chaos in Shuzhou, it is commendable, and it must not be allowed to be chaotic because of Jiangnan." ”

Xu Beiyou looked at Shuzhou on the map, "Where is the disaster in Shuzhou?"

Yu Kuang straightened up and said: "There are two disasters in Shuzhou, one is from Shaanxi to Shu, when Emperor Taizu entered Shu, he took this road, but there is a dangerous sword pavilion here, and there is a northwest army in Shaanxi, which can be put aside for the time being, and now the key lies in the second place, that is, southern Xinjiang, presumably Nan Shuai also knows that there was a lot of trouble here back then, forcing Wen Shuai to personally lead the Shuzhou front army to conquer the barbarians in southern Xinjiang, and even the first emperor was sent by Emperor Taizong Wen. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Kuang sighed a little, "If Wen Shuai hadn't fallen ill during the conquest of Southern Xinjiang, he would not have died in Xiao Shen's hands." ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "I remember that before Wen Shuai returned to the dynasty, he had recovered the Seven Prefectures of Nanzhong, forcing the rebellious barbarians of Southern Xinjiang to retreat into the 100,000 mountains. ”

Yu Kuang shook his head and said: "Nan Shuai has already said, the barbarians in Southern Xinjiang only retreated into the 100,000 mountains, not all of them were exterminated by Wen Shuai, there is still a witch cult in southern Xinjiang, and the witch sect also has a great elder Zhu Jiuyin, as the so-called wildfire burns inexhaustibly, the spring breeze blows and grows, with the support of the witch cult, these barbarians can resurrect at any time, and then retake the seven mansions in Nanzhong that they have been thinking about." ”

Xu Beiyou said slowly: "I know a little bit about the public case of the Seven Prefectures in Nanzhong. ”

Yu Kuang said: "This is also the evil fruit planted during the first southern expedition, when Emperor Taizu conquered Shuzhou in the south, set up the Sword Pavilion camp, and Lin Han served as the seal officer of the camp, and was in charge of the military and political power of Shuzhou. Lin Han is a person who is brutal and greedy by nature, exploits excessively, and repeatedly uses the barbarians to exploit the major Shuzhou families from the beginning, but the fake drama is really done, forcing the major Shuzhou families to secretly rebel with the barbarians and seize Jincheng, the capital of Shuzhou. ”

"That time, Lin Han almost died in the chaos of Jincheng, after Lin Han fled back to the Sword Pavilion from Jincheng, he decisively raised troops to suppress it, and recaptured Jincheng within one day. Then the army of the Sword Pavilion swept away the four mansions, and then Lin Han issued an order for the Sword Pavilion to camp and surrender. ”

"I still remember that payment clearly: 'In the sixteen prefectures of Shuzhou, anyone who participated in the rebellion will be immediately beheaded. Whoever arrests the leader of the rebels will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to one level. For a time, the whole Shuzhou was exposed, slandered, and attacked, and the whole Shuzhou was full of miasma. Then, Lin Han's army approached Nanzhong again. Although the barbarians are brave, but they do not pass the military array, ten people and hundreds of people fight, the barbarians have a greater chance of winning, but if there are more than a thousand people, in the face of the fierce battle array of the Sword Pavilion army, the barbarians will no longer have the possibility of victory. ”

So Lin Han's army went all the way south, destroyed when it met the village, killed when it met the barbarians, and killed no less than 20 large and small barbarian tribes in the south, often after the army, only the children who were less than the height of the wheels and a group of old and weak women and children, the adult men were all killed, and the tribes who dared to resist ended up even more tragically, often regardless of men, women and children, all were killed, and the village was burned. For a time, the entire Nanzhong and even Shuzhou were in the news, and the Nanzhong barbarians even called Lin Han the Shura general. ”

Yu Kuang sighed and said: "Until many years later, the four characters of General Shura can still stop children crying at night in southern Xinjiang, which shows how fierce and profound Lin Han's bloody methods in Nanzhong were at that time." It is precisely because of this that the barbarians in Nanzhong rebelled repeatedly, and even in the Chengping period, most of Shuzhou was endangered, which made Wen Shuai have to lead the army to conquer in person. ”

Xu Beiyou was silent for a long time and said, "After a while, I will go to Shuzhou." ”
