Chapter 721 The way home (1)

Mingxiu left!
When he was there, he didn't feel anything, but when he left, Yang Shouwen felt that something seemed to be missing in life.
He was listless for two days in a row.
Later, under Zhu Huan's persuasion, Yang Shouwen took Yang Moli, Youniang, and Feng Shaoan's two daughters to leave Jiaozhi and spent two days traveling around the county town. Only then did it gradually stabilize the mood and then brought a group of people back to Jiaozhi.
At this time, Huan Yanfan defeated Gan Yong at Changyang Pass.
Twenty thousand rebels were defeated by Huan Yanfan in one fell swoop, and Gan Yong led hundreds of people to flee south.
"Big Cat, let your father know that Luofuzhou is the old nest of the Gan family. The terrain is complex and mostly native, so you must be careful.
It is recommended that you fight steadily and not think about a quick battle.
I will explain to him from the court so that he doesn’t have to be anxious. I hope that after this war, I can at least exchange for Lingnan Road for thirty to fifty years of peace.”
After learning about Huan Yanfan's progress, Yang Shouwen immediately found Huan Daochen and ordered him to go and remind him.
This is also impossible.
The natives of Annan were stubborn, and since the imperial court pacified Lingnan, rebellions have repeatedly occurred.
In the past six years alone, with this rebellion, three rebellions occurred in Lingnan. And the remaining small rebellions were countless, which were annoying. Yang Shouwen knew that it was not enough to just comfort these natives. He used both soft and hard methods. The court has always shown soft means, but not hard means.
The Gan family's rebellion was an excellent opportunity.
Yang Shouwen's attitude was very clear. Since he could not comfort him, he simply killed them so scared.
At this point, Yang Shouwen had notified Wang Yuangui and Wang Junwei, and submitted a memorial to Luoyang to explain his plan.
As for what was the final attitude of the court?
Yang Shouwen didn't care.
Kill it first, it's amazing that he just cared the charge.
After Huan Yanfan captured Changyang Pass, his troops entered Aizhou.
After receiving Yang Shouwen's reminder, he immediately ordered to suspend the offensive. After three days of rest in Aizhou, Huan Yanfan divided into two groups with Wang Junxian and Wang Yuangui. Wang Yuangui led the navy to the sea in Sunan and set off the coast to set up a southward line.
At the same time, Wang Junyi advanced by land and his troops were loyal and righteous.
Huan Yanfan’s explanation to the two was to fight steadily. Every time he conquered a place, there was no need to rush to continue attacking, but to clear the local indigenous people and stabilize the people’s hearts.
This will slow down.
But once it is stable, just as Yang Shouwen said, it will give Lingnan thirty years of peace...
Yang Shouwen stayed in Jiaozhi and continued to deal with some trivial matters.
Although Mingxiu left, he was surrounded by three people, Huan Daochen, Zhu Huan and Sun Chuxuan. The matter was trivial and numerous, but to a certain extent, Yang Shouwen's ability to manage the local area was well tempered, making him feel that he had made considerable progress.
"Unfortunately, the Ming family has decided to migrate the erectile squat.
Otherwise, I would rather build a port here and leave it to the Ming family to operate it."
The Jingzhe has passed, and the spring rain has continued.
On this day, Yang Shouwen took Zhu Huan and others to leave Jiaozhi and inspect Changzhou.
It is Changzhou of Annan Protectorate, not Changzhou of Suzhou... It is located in the mouth of Honghe River and is an excellent natural harbor.
Yang Shouwen boarded a falcon boat at the mouth of Honghe River and patrolled the sea.
Facing the sea breeze, looking out at the vast ocean.
The wind and waves were a little too fast, so the sea boat was a little bumpy, but Yang Shouwen was extremely happy.
My biggest wish in my previous life was to be bedridden for one day, but unfortunately I failed to realize it. Unexpectedly, I realized the wish of my previous life in this life. Yang Shouwen suddenly opened his arms and let out a long roar against the wind and waves.
But the others were pale.
Yang Moli, who has always been famous for her appearance, lay on the side of the boat and vomited constantly.
Zhu Huan's legs were weak and he didn't dare to go forward at all. However, the young lady, although she was a little uncomfortable, was still standing next to Yang Shouwen.
"Brother Siezi, since you think this place is very good, why not run it yourself?"
"It's not that easy. If you want to run such a harbor, it's not something that can be solved by money. It's not something that can be done by one person."
"Qingzhi, why do you have to worry about this?
Have you forgotten, did you set up Qingyuan in Luoyang? Not to mention other things, those noble children, who can do nothing. If you really want to build a harbor here, you might as well win over those people. If you really can see the benefits and encounter problems, you don’t have to speak up, and those people will solve it for you. And you just need to control this harbor, so what’s the difficulty?”
Qingyuan!
I almost forgot the place.
Thinking back to the beginning, Yang Shouwen found a group of prince-consorts, just to make them honest and share their worries for Li Xian.
I never thought that these guys were not good at anything else, but they were very good at eating, drinking and having fun.
The Qingyuan was built into the No. 1 Golden Cave in Luoyang, and a large group of playboys gathered, which became a climate.
Yang Shouwen only made a suggestion at the beginning and never participated.
However, those guys always counted him in it. Although he rarely showed up, he was famous in Qingyuan.
After hearing what Huan Daochen said, Yang Shouwen immediately remembered those people.
His impulse to build a port in Honghekou became stronger and stronger, but...
"Big Cat, a few days ago, the prince sent me a letter asking me about the candidate for Annan Protectorate.
Last time I asked you to inquire about your father's tone. He is interested in the Annan Protectorate?"
“I mentioned this, but he was hesitant.
Although Annan is a prince, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. However, after all, being far away from the center makes him a little confused."
Yang Shouwen said: "Actually, I think Ling Zun should not stay in the center."
"Um?"
"He is strong and capable, but he is not aware of adaptability and is easily exploited.
I remember that Di Gong once said to me: I often have no choice but to be on the ground. Therefore, ability is important, but more importantly, it is necessary to have the ability to adapt. If the Lord returns to Luoyang, he will inevitably be constrained.
He is a tough guy and can easily offend people... So, I hope he stays here and build Annan into a happy land. The situation in the court is too chaotic now, with Lingzun's temperament, it is really not appropriate to return at this time."
"Greedy and vain!"
Huan Daochen snorted coldly, but remembered Yang Shouwen's words in his heart.
To be honest, Huan Yanfan really lacks qualifications.
Even if he included this military achievements, he would still be suppressed after he went back.
On the contrary, staying in Annan can allow him to show off his skills. The most important thing is that Annan has just experienced a rebellion and needs a tough person to take charge. In the temple, many people may not be willing to come to this muddy water, and it became much easier for Huan Yanfan to stay.
After all, the great enemy of the court was not in the south, but in the north and west.
Annan Protectorate is definitely a high position and a high position.
But in the eyes of the court, the status is far less important than that of the Anxi Protectorate...
Huan Yanfan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, I will persuade him again.
But his temper is too stubborn, and I can't control it. If Qingzhi can talk to him in person, it might be better."
Yang Shouwen agrees quite well.
This time he went on a tour, his destination was Jiuzhen, which is the location of Aizhou Prefecture.
Huan Yanfan is now supervising the war in Aizhou, so another purpose of Yang Shouwen is to discuss this matter with Huan Yanfan.
Huan Yanfan had already learned about Yang Shouwen's itinerary, so he waited early at Rinan Port.
After Yang Shouwen got off the ship, he talked with Huan Yanfan in the Rinan County Government for two hours, and then decided to change his itinerary and return to Jiaozhi directly.
Huan Yanfan agreed with his suggestion and decided to stay in Annan.
Just as Yang Shouwen set out to leave Sunan, a fierce debate was ongoing in Luoyang, thousands of miles away.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month of the second year of Chang'an, the Lantern Festival.
The Turks in Shatuzhou suddenly rebelled and killed the Protectorate of Shatuzhou.
When the Beiting Protectorate, Guo Qianguan, the escort of the Beiting Protectorate, heard the news and immediately sent troops to rescue him. He was ambushed in Xianquan Town and his entire army was wiped out.
Guo Qianguan died in battle!
The news reached Luoyang, and the whole court was in an uproar.
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and shouted that they would send troops to Mobei.
Wu Zetian ordered Guo Yuanzhen, the governor of Liangzhou, to send troops to Tingzhou to quell the rebellion.
At the same time, who should be sent to Tingzhou to take over the Beiting Protectorate has also become the focus of discussion among many people.
"The old minister recommends one person, Yang Chenglie, who stays in Dongdu, can be the governor of Beiting."
Fengge Minister Zhang Jianzhi stepped forward and recommended one person.
But this person made Wu Zetian feel embarrassed... The Beiting Protectorate is an important place to protect Anxi and connect the Western Regions. If Yang Chenglie was sent, it would indeed relieve Wu Zetian. Not to mention anything else, Yang Chenglie would not form cliques and was absolutely loyal to Wu Zetian. Moreover, he was calm and well-versed in the habits of the Hu people, which was indeed very suitable.
But if Yang Chenglie leaves, who will command the thousand cavalry?
Wu Zetian was in a state of confusion for a moment and was undecided.
After returning to Shangyang Palace, Wu Zetian was alone in Guanfeng Hall and no one saw him.
She found Shangguan Wan'er, "If Wenxuan goes to Beiting, I can rest assured.
But among the civil and military officials in the court, is there no other suitable candidate? As soon as the propaganda leaves, who will command the thousand cavalry?"
Shangguan Wan'er was also reluctant to leave because Beiting was far away in the Western Regions. As soon as Yang Chenglie left, it became more and more difficult to see him.
Moreover, Beiting is very dangerous, and Shangguan Wan'er is also not relieved.
However, after thinking twice, Shangguan Wan'er still spoke: "Your Majesty, from the moment, Yang Wenxuan is indeed the most suitable.
Beiting is an important place in Anxi, so it should not be taken lightly.
Yang Wenxuan dared to act and had enough ability... Moreover, since he came back, he was valued by His Majesty. He has been left in Dongdu for only three years since he was a white man. To be honest, it is difficult to convince the public. Beiting is an important place for him to obtain merits. If Yang Wenxuan can do something in Beiting, then who can stop His Majesty from using it in the future when he returns to Luoyang in the future?"
When Wu Zetian heard this, she immediately woke up.
Yes, Yang Chenglie has been promoted very quickly over the years, but to be honest, he has not made any contribution to his ability.
If he wants to be promoted again, it will be difficult and has great resistance. But if he is allowed to practice in Beiting for a few years, who can stop him?
"As for Qianqi, I want to recommend one person."
"who?"
"Your Majesty thinks, what about Qingzhi?"
Wu Zetian's eyes lit up and she immediately smiled.
She both valued Yang's father and son. Perhaps at the beginning, Wu Zetian was somewhat dissatisfied with Yang Shouwen and was particularly troublesome. But in the past two years, he would definitely be able to handle any of the things arranged for him properly.
Whether it was the previous trip to the Western Regions, the later suppression of the Jiannan Road, and the current Annan War...
“Besides, the three-year period is about to reach old age.
Gu'er is already seventeen, can she just waste it like this?
When Qingzhi returns, their marriage should also be handled. Although Guer has given up the title of Princess, he is a royal noble after all. If Qingzhi is not in a good position, how can he match? In the past, Qingzhi commander Qianqi, there were probably many people who opposed it.
But now, Qingzhi first suppressed the Jiannan rebellion and made great contributions in Lingnan.
Among the civil and military officials in the court, who is more qualified to command Qianqi than him? Who can stand up and stop him from commanding Qianqi?
Your Majesty, don’t forget, Qingzhi is Wu Kui!”
After hearing this, Wu Zetian was really moved...
She pondered for a long time, then suddenly looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, if Wenxuan leaves, are you willing to let it go?"
Shangguan Wan'er's face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.
Wu Zetian smiled and pointed at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "I understand your feelings very well.
