It was a clear evening, and Han Qian and Xi Rong walked back to the South Garden of Jinhua Building. They saw the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the main building of Dongyuan, and the eaves paved with glazed tiles were shining brightly. When they looked up, they could see several people working on the main building.
Lean on the railing and look over.
"It's really annoying. I wish I could shoot down every arrow at every one of them," Xi Rong gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "I say there is no hindrance, but having people stare at me like this all day long makes me feel unhappy..."
Han Qian raised his head and glanced at the main building again, and walked with Xi Rong to his temporary residence.
"After we left, what did you talk about at the Changxiang Marquis Mansion, and why did you come back so late?" Feng Yi saw Han Qian, walked over from a distance and asked curiously.
"You have made great achievements today. I will discuss with Marquis Changxiang how to give you credit." Han Qian said jokingly.
However, Feng Yi did play a big role today. If he hadn't heard that the piano skills of the Marquis of Changxiang were in the same vein as Su Hongyu, Han Qian would not have been able to find a breakthrough and "kill" the Marquis of Changxiang by surprise. Naturally, he would not have been able to defeat the Marquis of Changxiang.
When the country was in chaos, so much useful information was uncovered.
"How did Mr. Guo talk with the officials of Honglu Temple and Zongzheng Temple?" Han Qian asked again.
"What else can we do but just follow the rules?" Feng Yi couldn't help but yawn when he thought of watching Guo Rong and Shu officials discussing the wedding in the afternoon.
"Is there anything worthy of special attention?" Han Qian asked.
"Two ladies from the palace came over in the afternoon. They said that Concubine Zhao Hui had asked her to come over to discuss the details of the wedding, and asked the officials of Zongzheng Temple not to lose sight of the etiquette of Shu when preparing the wedding ceremony. Isn't Concubine Zhao Hui the mother of the Marquis of Qingjiang?
, is there something wrong with being so enthusiastic?" Feng Yi said.
"Concubine Zhao Hui is the lord of the first palace, so she should be involved in this matter." Han Qian said lightly, but he knew in his heart that the Shu Kingdom rose to dominate the two rivers on the basis of the Shence Army and the Shenling Division. He believed that Shu
There are definitely not only three or five people in the country who know about the existence of Shenling Division.
At this moment, Guo Rong came over, and Han Qian asked about some things he had done in the afternoon.
Although Wei Qun, the minister of Honglu Temple, has a leisurely official position, as one of the nine ministers, his rank is equal to that of ministers of various ministries. Yesterday, he was ordered to go out of the city to greet Han Qian, but he did not have the details of daily reception and negotiation of marriage.
When he showed up again, a general manager named Song Hongzhong was in charge.
There is not much to say about the marriage. After all, Shu proposed it on its own initiative, and Chu also paid enough attention to it. The focus of the negotiation was on the two sides setting up tribute halls, mutual trade, and reducing the troops stationed in Yiling and Jingzhou in Xiazhou and other issues.
Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, took control of Dongchuan quite early, and took control of Xuanling in Xiazhou at the eastern foot of Wushan Mountain before Da Chu.
Although Chu and Shu have not officially started a war so far, Xiazhou is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and has the advantage of being in a commanding position. The Shu State has more than 10,000 elite Zhenjiang troops stationed in Yiling of Xiazhou, which makes the Chu State extremely uncomfortable and has no choice but to
Do not station heavy elite troops in Jingzhou for defense.
In the early stage of preparations for the war to reduce vassalage, the Shu Kingdom increased the number of troops stationed in Yiling, Xiazhou to 20,000. Jinling was worried that the Shu army would send troops to intervene at any time, and many people even advocated softening its stance towards Tanzhou.
During the war to reduce the vassal state, Zhang Feng led the elite combat force stationed in Jingzhou, but it did not play any role in the middle and early stages. It was not until the Marquis of Changxiang envoys to Chu that Zhang Feng, the son of Zhang Feng, led an elite force to cross the Yangtze River and go south.
Combat.
If the two sides really work together to reduce the number of troops stationed in Qiazhou and Jingzhou, both sides can reduce their investment in national funds by tens of thousands or two hundred thousand dollars every year.
The establishment of tribute halls in each other's country, the dispatch of officials to each other to facilitate communication, and the mutual trade to facilitate the promotion of trade between the two sides are all signs that the cooperation between the two sides has entered a more substantive stage.
Shuchu is willing to advance these matters, and what needs to be negotiated is mainly the specific methods and the extent of progress.
Han Qian generally understood the details of today's negotiation, so he returned to the room and continued to study the information collected by Jinyun Tower during this period.
In addition to the conflicts between the Shu lord Wang Jian and his disciples and the Shu court officials, the intelligence collected also included the military situation currently facing the Shu state.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
political situation.
In addition to the information spied on by the spies of Jinyun Tower, this information also contains a large number of classics, local chronicles and literati's notes and articles that record the scenery and people of Sichuan and Sichuan. It is far from Han Qian's ability to completely digest it day and night.
Although Han Qian has always deliberately strengthened the cultivation of talents within Jinyun Tower, there are still too few people who are truly capable of processing this information.
We can't blame Han Qian for having to do a lot of things himself. By the standards of future generations, talents who are truly capable of intelligence retrieval and analysis are all rare in this world. Even if Han Qian has a few in his hands,
They are all alone.
Han Qian had studied a lot of information when he was in Tanzhou, but he had never thought that he would have the opportunity to go to Shu as an envoy, and he did not expect that he would have to make suggestions for the Marquis of Changxiang in the Shu Kingdom. He had no time and no time before.
Researched too deeply.
However, if he does not have a comprehensive grasp and understanding of the situation in Shu and casually makes suggestions for Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong, it will only be full of flaws, and it is impossible to gain the trust of Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong.
Although the Marquis of Changxiang and Princess Qingyang were easier to fool, he could not forget that behind the Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong, there was an old fox like Jing Qiongwen.
There was no condition to make a large sand table in the Nanyuan of Jinhua Building, so Han Qian asked Xi Rong to cover the bookcase with rice paper, use a special quill pen to draw the mountains and terrain of Shu, and mark each piece of important information directly on the topographic map.
, so that he could have an intuitive understanding of the situation in Shu.
Regardless of whether there are any flaws in the intelligence collected by Jinyun Tower, Han Qian's method of classifying and analyzing intelligence is many times better than that of the so-called heroes in the world - this has also greatly benefited all those who serve around him.
In addition to bordering the Liang and Chu countries, the Shu Kingdom was disturbed by the Qiang and Rong in the northwest, while the southern Sichuan area was mainly controlled by the local indigenous Liao people.
Unlike the vast territory of Chu, the depth of Shu is limited, and its core area is mainly limited to the Chengdu Plain. If you want to enhance its strength and expand the depth of its territory, the main option is to expand to the southern Sichuan region in order to eliminate the southern Sichuan faction.
People threaten Yuzhou, Luzhou, Rongzhou, Yanzhou and other places on both sides of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, in the past few years, the Shu Kingdom's foreign wars, in addition to resisting the invasion of Qiang and Rong forces in the northwest, mainly focused on suppressing the rebellion of native tribesmen in the south.
Wei Hou Wang Xiaoxian has made outstanding military exploits in recent years, mainly participating in suppressing the rebellion of the Liao people in southern Sichuan.
In order to restore the previous dynasty's rule over Yanzhou and other areas, the Shu Kingdom established the Luzhou Governor's Office, and the Youzhenjiang Army was deployed in Luzhou, specializing in the suppression and rule of the Liao people who were entrenched in Yanzhou and the southern mountainous areas of Rongzhou.
The Liao people were an ethnic group who migrated north from the Nanzhao area during the Northern and Southern Dynasties during the chaos in Shu.
They have violently driven out the indigenous people in Yanrong and other states for hundreds of years, and now have full control of the mountainous areas in northern Guizhou and southern Sichuan. They call themselves Shanduzhang, which means "general in charge", and their tribesmen are extremely tough, with men with buns on their spines,
Or with his hair tied up and double blades on his left and right, he likes to fight and kill, and considers risking death as courage. When the chieftain goes out, he will beat the drum high on the mountain. The barbarians will hear the sound for four times, causing headaches to the rulers of Shu in the past dynasties.
The Lord of Shu, Wang Jian, did not control the Lu, Rong, and Chongqing states in the southern part of Shu until around the fourth or fifth year of Tianyou. During this period, the Liao people also tried to come out to control the two states, and Wang Jian's subordinates
After a fierce battle, thousands of elites were lost before being repulsed. After that, blood feuds were formed, and they would come out of the mountains to attack prefectures and counties every once in a while.
Although Weihou and Wang Xiaoxian have made outstanding military exploits in recent years and captured hundreds or even thousands of heads in each battle, the Liao people are extremely tough and have never yielded under the pressure of force, so that the Shu Kingdom has not been able to effectively rule at this time.
Yanzhou and the southern region of Rongzhou.
In the Banan area along the Wujiang River (Qianjiang River) south of Yuzhou, the channel through which Sichuan-Sichuan well salt is smuggled into Chenxuzhou through Sizhou is currently mainly under the control of the Wuliao people, a branch of the Liao tribe.
Dachu could adopt a policy of appeasement and restraint towards the Chenxu and other states, and had no intention of directly bringing these areas under direct rule. However, Shu could not be so calm in its attitude toward the Liao people in southern Sichuan. After all, Shu's connivance was too limited, and the Liao people would not be able to tolerate it.
Threatening the unification of more than thirty counties in southern Sichuan
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It is difficult to consolidate if it is cured.
Compared with the threat from Liang Jun, the Liao people in southern Sichuan can be said to be a serious worry for Shu.
Song Hongzhong, the general manager of the Tongshi House, held a banquet in the main building at night. Han Qian had no time to waste on these entertainment matters. He took Guo Rong, Feng Xu, Zhou Chu and others to socialize, and he just ate something simple in the room, and
Xi Faer and Guo Que were summoned to inquire about the intelligence of the Liao people in southern Sichuan.
Private salt dealers among the criminal soldiers had very close contact with the Wu Liao people on both sides of the Qianjiang River in Banan. Many Wu Liao people were even directly involved in this salt road; Xi Faer was sold to northern Guizhou as a slave for many years, and in northern Guizhou
There are also many copycats controlled by Liao people, who are also familiar with the relevant situations.
"You have spent the past few days searching for news about the capital in southern Sichuan Mountain. The more detailed the information, the better. The capital of Shu will also spend a lot of effort to train informants..." Han Qian ordered Guo Que, sarcastically, and asked them to go down first.
rest.
"At this critical moment, what are you doing studying this?" Xi Rong asked curiously.
"The Marquis of Changxiang asked me to make suggestions in order to gain favor from Wang Jian, the Lord of Shu. But without something really strong, with just a few whirlwind cannon designs, do you think I can easily catch Wang Jian's eye?" Han Qian shook his head and asked.
It may not be difficult to drive a wedge between the Marquis of Qingjiang and the Lord of Shu Wang Jian, but the Lord of Shu Wang Jian does not trust the Marquis of Qingjiang, but this may not benefit the Marquis of Changxiang. In addition to the Marquis of Qingjiang and the Marquis of Changxiang, the Lord of Shu Wang Jian also has three sons.
If he wants to think of a strategy that can truly convince the Marquis of Changxiang Wang Yong and entrust him with the power of the Marquis of Changxiang, he still has to put in a lot of effort to do some homework, and he also has to make a fuss about the current serious worries of the Shu Kingdom.
There is enough portion.
"The Liao people in southern Sichuan are indeed a serious concern for the Lord of Shu, but if you come up with a plan to help them solve this serious problem, will you have to wait until the end of the year?" Xi Rong asked, she suspected that Han Qian was in the Liao people in southern Sichuan.
Be careful, water from afar cannot quench your thirst nearby.
Furthermore, others have some misunderstandings about Han Daoxun and Han Qian and his son. They think that the Han family and his son have already thought of all the strategies at the beginning of many things happening. They mistakenly think that the Han family and his son have unpredictable and inexhaustible plans.
But Xi Rong has been with Han Qian in the past few years and knows that Han Qian mainly adapts to changes most of the time.
What is really strong about Han Qian is that he always has a way to solve a practical problem that is difficult for others to solve.
If Han Qian could lead the Shu army to conquer the Liao people in southern Sichuan, Xi Rong believed that he would be able to overcome every difficulty encountered and achieve good results in the end.
However, Xi Rong did not think that Han Qian could come up with a strategy for Shu that could comprehensively solve the problem of rebellion in southern Sichuan without missing any omissions.
There is no such person in the world.
"Whether it works or not is another matter. The key is to get the approval of the Lord of Shu, Wang Jian. Besides, if my father and son can establish themselves in Syria, they have already attracted Wang Jian's attention, right?" Han Qian's plan was mainly to help the head of the country in front of the Lord of Shu, Wang Jian.
Fighting for favor and gaining power, he said with a rather confident smile, "If something can't be done, I can still say that it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen!"
Xi Rong thought about it. The Han family and his son were able to gain a foothold in Syria, where native-born households were extremely powerful, and even completely control the situation in Syria. This laid the foundation for Chu's victory in Tanzhou's vassal reduction.
Sichuan Nanping indeed has a voice that no one else has over the officials.
Just thinking of this, Xi Rong fell into silence again. Since ancient times, Liaoyue has been a family, and they have always been victims of the Central Plains Dynasty's southward expansion...
Han Qian could guess what Xi Rong was thinking. As a descendant of Shanyue, Xi Rong probably sympathized with the Liao people in southern Sichuan due to the same hatred. He stared at her eyes and asked: "If you don't talk about other places, just talk about it."
In southern Sichuan, Han and Yi people have lived together for thousands of years. However, bloody disputes continue to this day. I don’t know how many people have died in the chaos. You hope in your heart that I can come up with a strategy to quell the chaos and put an end to the bloody events.
Or do you hope that this place will continue to struggle for thousands of years and that the bloody battle will never end?"
Xi Rong fell into complete silence. Facing Han Qian's question, she was confused and didn't know how to answer...
