The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 872
"Going to Southern Border is not a problem. I have traveled all over the world, but I have never been to Southern Border and Western Regions. But I always feel that behind these recent incidents, there is the shadow of Prince Zhao's Mansion. Have you Jin Yiwei checked it?!"

Yang Qingyuan has always been on guard against Zhao Wang's Mansion, even though Six Doors is an organization specializing in Jianghu affairs, they have been collecting information about Zhao Wang's Mansion and Youzhou.

When Qinglong saw that Yang Qingyuan mentioned Zhao Wang's mansion, Qinglong's expression also became serious.

Now that the world is peaceful and the world is in prosperity, it is already a rare way to rule the world, and Zhao Wangfu is currently the biggest factor of instability in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zhao Wang is ambitious, which is the consensus of the high-level court.

However, the middle and lower officials still have a good impression of this King Sai who sits in Yancheng and has made great military exploits.

Even when Yang Qingyuan abolished Zhu Zhankun to discuss the candidate for the new emperor, many officials proposed that "brothers will end up with younger brothers" and welcome Zhao Wang Zhu Kai to Beijing to inherit the throne.

Judging from the heir to the throne at that time alone, King Zhao was indeed an excellent candidate.

But this choice is inconsistent with the etiquette and law. The first emperor still has heirs, and Xizong still has brothers, so it is not Zhao Wang's turn to succeed anyway.

This proposal was rejected at first, but it can also be seen from the prestige of this King Zhao in the hearts of middle and lower officials.

Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang remained courteous.

This is Schrödinger's treason.

Before he rebelled, no one knew whether he really wanted to rebel or was trying to protect himself.

Not only Yang Qingyuan, but also Jin Yiwei were on guard against King Zhao.

Xuanwu, the commander of Beizhen Fusi, is now focusing his energy on Prince Zhao's Mansion in Yancheng, Youzhou.

In the original Northern Territory, Fusi Beizhen was in charge of intelligence on Beigan, while Fusi Beizhen and Fusi Dongzhen worked together on information on Houjin.

But now that the Houjin has been destroyed, although there are still Jurchen tribes remaining, it will be difficult to achieve success within a hundred years. Beizhen Fusi no longer needs to pay more attention to the land of Houjin.

As for Beigan, now Liangwang Mansion occupies the original Wokuotai Khanate, Liangwang also holds military power, and wants to fight against the central government and support the bandits.

If anyone in Beigan didn't want the Great Zhou to weaken, it must be the King Liang lineage.

At least until they have a firm foothold and have the power to completely fight against the center, Liang Wang is the best barrier and ally of Da Zhou.

Based on this, most of Beizhen Fusi's energy can be put on Zhao Wangfu.

"According to the information from the Beizhen Fusi, the troops under the command of King Zhao's Mansion are full of soldiers and horses. Especially the young men who were recruited by King Zhao from the Houjin tribes. They were originally a family of fishing and hunting. They are tough and good at fighting, and they are good at riding. Shooting. Now after being trained by King Zhao, his combat power is even better than before. His individual combat power has even surpassed the elite cavalry of Tiance Army."

Yang Qingyuan nodded. He also knew about this matter. After the battle of Jinyang, Yang Qingyuan knew the movements of King Zhao's Mansion.

King Zhao's move was indeed beyond Yang Qingyuan's expectation.

At that time, Yang Qingyuan had actually thought about luring King Zhao to raise his troops. Even when Yang Qingyuan raised troops to kill the faint emperor, he was also intentionally or unintentionally luring King Zhao to attack.

But King Zhao, he is too steady!

He chose a path that is absolutely calm and maximizes benefits.

This made Yang Qingyuan's show of weakness to the enemy completely in vain!
Although Zhao Wang is still regretting that he didn't make a move at that time, from Yang Qingyuan's perspective, Zhao Wang was really too calm, and he couldn't make such a calm judgment in a different place.

Zhao Wang really has two brushes, he is worthy of being a veteran in the battlefield.

"King Zhao's power is expanding like a blow at the moment. He has nearly 30 soldiers and horses. He has a huge popularity in Youzhou and is deeply loved by the people in Youzhou. He is in Yancheng, peeping at the Central Plains, saying There will be trouble at any time."

After being told by Yang Qingyuan, Qinglong was also a little uncertain. King Zhao now has the ability to rebel, he can threaten Guanzhong when he enters, and defend Youzhou when he retreats.There is only one chance to raise troops. If Yang Qingyuan goes to the southern border at this time, it will not be a good thing.

Originally, Qinglong thought that Yang Qingyuan would go to southern Xinjiang to preside over the extermination of the Blood River Sect, but now that he thinks about it, Yang Qingyuan can't leave at this time!Among the great generals in the court, the only ones who could defeat King Zhao and Zhu Kai were Li Cheng'en, Governor of the Tiance Army, and Yang Qingyuan, Marquis of Wuxiang.Although Tang Shengtan, the commander of the Shenwu Army, and Wang Chengsi, the commander of the Shence Army, are also good at fighting, but it is impossible for one to control the southern border and the other to deter the Western Regions.

Moreover, the time limit for changing defenses stipulated by the imperial court is coming soon, and there are many things to do, and there is no way to get out.

At this time, Yang Qingyuan couldn't leave anymore!
"Yang Hou, if the matter in the south of the Yangtze River is really done by Zhao Wang, then Yang Hou can't go to the southern border!" The more Qinglong thought about it, the more he felt that this might be the time when Zhao Wang arranged to transfer the tiger away from the mountain.

Yang Qingyuan shook his head when he heard the words, and then took out an investigation file from his sleeve.

"I have been asking people from the Guangwen Department to conduct surveys on the people's livelihood in Youzhou and nearby states over the years. Prince Zhao's Mansion does not have the power to directly collect taxes. Although he is in Youzhou, the taxes in Youzhou are still assigned by the imperial court. The governor’s mansion of Youzhou confiscated it. Although Zhao Wang’s mansion secretly detained nearly half of it, it’s only a drop in the bucket for what Zhao Wang needs to raise troops.”

In this survey, there is information about a large number of grain transactions in Youzhou in recent years.

The most important thing for King Zhao to raise soldiers is money and food.

For money, King Zhao should be able to barely make ends meet.

Zhao Wangfu almost monopolized most of the business with the various ministries of the Houjin Dynasty.

Houjin's leather goods, wild ginseng, and Dongzhu are all sought after by the Central Plains, and the profit margins are extremely high, which is why King Zhao can afford such a large army.

No business, more profitable than a monopoly!
However, Yang Qingyuan reckoned that King Zhao's financial situation was just average, otherwise they wouldn't have come to fight Feihongjian, even though it was to fight a rabbit.

After money, the problem of food and grass is the most difficult to solve.

There are more than 40 soldiers and horses, nearly [-] people. People eat horses and chews. Even if they are stationed for training, the consumption is an astronomical figure. Once Zhao Wang wants to raise troops, food will become his biggest constraint.

Yang Qingyuan checked, last year and this year, there was no extra large amount of food falling into Zhao Wangfu's hands, it was still the same as usual.

There is a shortage of food and grass in Zhao Wang's mansion. According to Yang Qingyuan's estimation, it will be enough for Zhao Wang to use it for one and a half months after he raised his troops!
With Zhao Wang's steady personality, unless he was in a desperate situation, it would be impossible to do such a desperate thing.

At least for a short period of time, King Zhao will not raise troops.

"By the way! You should bring this investigation report back to the court for reference by the cabinet and the governor's office of the six armies, but this is just my personal opinion. You must not relax your vigilance against King Zhao."

"Yes!"

Combined with Qinglong's information, Yang Qingyuan came to the final conclusion.He decided to go to southern Xinjiang.

In Yang Qingyuan's view, the danger of the Blood River Sect is much greater than that of Prince Zhao's Mansion.

King Zhao rebelled, and when the war started, it was true that people were devastated, but in the final analysis, it was just the Zhu family's own struggle for the throne, and it was impossible to smash the world to pieces.After the result of the separation, the world will still restore order.

But if you sit back and watch the Blood River Sect grow, it will be different!

The Blood River Sect is an existence that ignores the rules. They are only selfish, plundering, and bloodthirsty. Once the Blood River Sect grasps the general situation, it will sweep the world.

That is the destruction of civilization!

The civilization of the Central Plains for thousands of years will be wiped out under this kind of tyranny and plunder!

That's the scariest thing.

He had to personally exterminate the Blood River Evil Sect, otherwise his heart would be uneasy.

Then Yang Qingyuan handed a handwritten letter to Qinglong, "You can submit this handwritten letter and the previous intelligence investigation letter to the emperor."

"I obey my orders!" After taking these two documents, Qinglong didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent them to Shendu in person.

Although there are only two letters, they contain the highest secrets in the court, and even affect the court's attitude towards Zhao Wangfu. If they fall into the hands of others accidentally, it will be terrible!
……

The next day, Yang Qingyuan summoned the experts who were still in Jinling.

"I want to go to the southern border, Wang Shu will go with me. Jian Han, the gods are empty at this moment, and I need you to sit in charge!"

Ye Baozi nodded when he heard the words, and didn't have any objections.

Yang Qingyuan also kept Ye Jianhan out of multiple considerations.

For one thing, the gods are empty, and Ye Jianhan, the mysterious cave, is needed to deter Gyeonggi.Secondly, Ye Jianhan's engagement date is approaching.

Ye Jianhan and Xu Miaojin, the little princess of Zhongshan Palace, fall in love with each other.

If it is an ordinary wealthy family, it may be necessary to marry a daughter-in-law, but the little princess of the Zhongshan Palace only needs to choose the one he likes.

The Zhongshan Prince's Mansion was originally the most prominent family in the Great Zhou Dynasty other than the royal family, and the Zhongshan King's Jue lived with the country.

They don't need to marry to guarantee their status, and it is impossible to marry with some powerful ministers.

Although the son of Linde is benevolent, the Zhongshan Palace also has a sense of propriety.

Taken together, Ye Jianhan is also a good choice.

He is a swordsman of the Dongxuan Realm, a master of the new generation, and this status alone is worthy of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion.

Even though the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion is quite powerful, there is only one master of the Dongxuan Realm enshrined in the mansion.

Ye Jianhan's potential doesn't stop there, he is like the sky and the earth, and the future can be expected.At the same time, he is also the original shareholder after the reconstruction of Dali Temple, and the head of the Prison Department of Dali Temple.

In order to match the little princess, Yang Qingyuan has already written a letter asking Ye Jianhan for the title of Viscount.

Although Ye Jianhan did not have military merits, he made great contributions in various cases, and even beheaded Nangong Mie, a master of the Houjin Dongxuan Realm, and participated in the suppression of the Baiyue Rebellion, and he also had the meritorious service of being a dragon.

This credit can be made an earl, but if it is a viscount, it can be hereditary for three generations.Most people would choose a viscount who has been hereditary for three generations.

Such a viscount of the Dongxuan Realm still holds the real power of Dali Temple, such a person is worthy of being a princess.

Of course, the most important reason is that Xu Miaojin likes it. The two members of the Zhongshan Palace regard this young girl as a treasure, and they are afraid of melting in the palm of their hands!As long as the little girl likes it, not to mention that this person is suitable, even if it is a commoner who doesn't know martial arts, the two of them can only recognize each other by pinching their noses!

So Yang Qingyuan asked Ye Jianhan to go back to Gyeonggi. He is engaged soon, so he is not suitable to participate in such bloody and dangerous missions.

Hearing the words, the young man looked at each other, got up and said, "Yang Hou, I wonder if we can go together."

After the battle on the top of Zijin Mountain, Ge Nie and Wei Zhuang also felt that their strength was not enough.

Originally they thought they were the top swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, but whether it was Ximen Chuuxue's Huaguang swordsmanship, Ye Gucheng's Tianwai Feixian, or Mu Taoist's Liangyi sword, they all shocked them greatly.

The vertical and horizontal sword faction is the reason for their strength, and it is also the shackle that restricts them from becoming stronger.

It is not advisable to work behind closed doors. They have to see more and experience more before they can break through the limit of the vertical and horizontal sword sect.This is the path each generation of vertical and horizontal successors must take.

Yang Qingyuan took a look at the young man, the uncle is still showing his sharpness, and the second dog is still a little green.

But having said that, the two are also the top swordsmen in Jianghu, and there must be many masters of the Dongxuan Realm in the Blood River Sect, and the two of Zongheng can also be used as high-end combat power to deal with.

"Since the two of you have asked for it, let's go together! But when the time comes, you must not act privately."

"Thank you Marquis Yang!"

Gui Guzi, the head of the vertical and horizontal sword sect of the previous generation, did not participate in the blood river sect battle back then.At that time, it was the decisive victory of the previous generation of Zongheng, and finally the current Guiguzi, the successor of the previous generation of Hengjian, won.However, he was also seriously injured, and he was recuperating to heal his injuries.

By the time he left the customs, the masters of the Blood River Sect had basically been killed, and he had only participated in the final finishing work.

Now the boy Zongheng went to the southern border to deal with the Blood River Evil Sect, which can be regarded as making up for the mistakes of the Zongheng Sword Sect back then.

……

After simply packing up and saluting, the four of them rode fast horses towards the southern border.

……
-
Southern Xinjiang, one hundred thousand mountains.

After reaching a settlement with Bai Fei, Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng took Jinbao and left the valley and found another place to rest.

After all, it is a soft hand, this fire ganoderma is also a rare natural treasure, not only can detoxify and heal injuries, but also can open up the meridians of the human body.

This thing is of little use to Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo, their meridians have long been running freely and extending in all directions.There is no need to rely on this substance to detoxify and heal injuries.

"That's cheap for you kid!"

Liu Dufeng chopped up the fire ganoderma and put it into the soup that Jin Bao was cooking.

"Liu Ajie, this..." Although Jin Bao didn't know the efficacy of this fire ganoderma, he could tell that its quality was extraordinary.

"Jinbao! Just now you saw that Zhuge Ajie and I's martial arts, we don't need to eat this food at all, so you can eat it! Although it is not a magic medicine, it can also strengthen your physique and help you If you practice martial arts, you will get twice the result with half the effort!"

Jin Bao hesitated when he heard the words, "Then can I take some back and give me a taste?!" He heard that this product can strengthen the body, so he thought of his grandfather.

Liu Dufeng's complexion didn't change, but he nodded secretly in his heart, "He is indeed a filial child, and he has a honest character and a good foundation."

Zhuge Zhengwo already had four disciples, and all of them were outstanding, which made Lao Liu a little envious.Although he also took in two registered disciples, his talents were mediocre, and he was only able to enter the Yuanhua realm until now.Can't compare with the four of Tie Youxia.

Ye Jianhan, who really passed on his Hunyuan Breaking Body Invisible Sword Qi, cannot be counted as his disciple.

After getting along these few days, Jin Bao has won Liu Dufeng's heart, which made him want to accept him as a disciple.
