After explaining everyone, Yu Xian said to Guo Jia, "This time, we have to go for a walk."
Guo Jia nodded and said confidently, "That's exactly what I meant."
If Yu Xian can solve the problem quickly, then Guo Jia will help him. If Yu Xian can't solve the problem, then he will do it at night and come back as the governor of Hanzhong County.
Plan passes.
Guo Jiazheng was thinking about it when he heard Yu Xian ask him, "The salt matter is of great importance. Today I heard a report saying that the Shouwu clan has completely fallen out with us, and the Wuxi Salt Spring may be closed to us at any time.
Fengxiao, what do you think about this matter?"
After hearing this, Guo Jia naturally didn't want to help. He thought about it for a while and said casually, "Even if the Shouwu clan has a ban, it is unlikely that the people below will follow it blindly if it goes against their interests. If we divide and win over,
With the promise of huge profits, we can certainly smuggle some salt over. This will also alleviate the situation."
Yu Xian chuckled, stretched out his index finger, and shook it at Guo Jia.
"Brother's behavior."
"The local people in Hanzhong, plus the refugees from Heluo, total more than 400,000. Just smuggling a little salt can barely make a living."
"Furthermore, the people near Yanquan believe in the magic of witches and ghosts. The water is called Wuxi. The mountain is called Wushan. The county is called Wuxian. The power of the witch and ghost sect is intertwined and indestructible. If it only relies on a little
The benefits will have no effect at all. But if the price is too high, it will drain Hanzhong's financial resources and make the people miserable."
Guo Jia was silent.
Damn it, I shouldn't have said this!
However, this demon is sober.
This matter is indeed extremely difficult to handle. Unless we directly send troops to seize the salt spring, it will be difficult to completely solve this problem with such small means.
However, sending troops is the most unrealistic answer.
Because that area is right at the junction of Yizhou and Jingzhou. The salt-producing location of the salt spring is on the side near Bajun, which belongs to Yizhou. Wu County, where people gather nearby, belongs to Nanjun and Jingzhou.
The huge force of the Wu Clan, holding the salt spring in its hands and spanning two states, has become a behemoth that no one dares to touch lightly.
Not to mention that Hanzhong now only has a few newly recruited soldiers, and their combat strength is worrying. Even if the soldiers and horses are strong, they still dare not use troops.
Because this means provoking two state pastors at the same time, it also means putting the salt consumption of millions of people in the surrounding area into trouble.
Guo Jia thought of this, snorted softly, and said in a slightly mocking tone, "Why, do you still want to use troops?"
Guo Jia has made up his mind.
If this devil dares to talk about using troops, he will do it tonight.
Unexpectedly, after Yu Xian heard Guo Jia's words, he extended his index finger and shook it disdainfully at Guo Jia.
"Mortal operations."
Guo Jia was so angry that he almost spit out blood.
Who the hell is this!?
Guo Jia laughed angrily, took a long breath, and tried to calm down, "Okay, okay, Guo is young and has little knowledge. He has never seen much of the world. This trip depends on the national master."
Yu Xian didn't care and asked the county officials to prepare maps and luggage for the two of them.
When everything was settled, he took Guo Jia with him, and the two of them went out of the east gate together and rode to Shangyongxing.
Now Yu Xian also has the trump card to turn the tables. He doesn't have to deliberately maintain the relationship with Mr. Guo, and the journey is quite pleasant.
Of course, the main reason is that the road from Nanzheng to Shangyong is connected by roads and is relatively flat.
The journey on horseback was much smoother than Yu Xian's arduous journey through the Qinling Mountains.
When he arrived at Shangyong, Yu Xian stopped the passers-by and asked a few questions.
After learning that the remnants of Su Gu in Shangyong had surrendered and that the city was basically stable, Yu Xian did not waste any time here and took Guo Jia directly to the south, toward Daba Mountain.
Entering Daba Mountain, riding a horse would be asking for trouble. Instead, it would be better to follow the blocked river.
The Duhe River is a tributary of the Han River. This tributary is divided into two branches in Shangyong County and penetrates deeply into Daba Mountain. Following the east branch and heading south, you can approach the famous Baoquan Mountain Salt Pond.
After the salt produced in the salt pond enters the Han River through the blocked river, it can either go south to the Jingxiang Plain, or pass through Danshui, a tributary of the Han River, bypassing Wuguan and entering Guanzhong via Lantian.
Yu Xian and Guo Jia released their horses, cut down big trees to make boats, and sailed upstream.
When you are thirsty, you drink from the river; when you are hungry, you fish and hunt.
Along the way, wild beasts retreated and spirits lurked, making it very smooth.
Yu Xian was in high spirits, and even thought for a time that the two of them were enough to run amok in Bashu.
This is the benefit of having a good teammate.
I remember that Liu Chan was only a little over a year old, and he only took one of his subordinates to attack Changbanpo, killing seven in and seven out.
What do you rely on?
It’s just the strength of my teammates.
When the water reached the end, the two abandoned the canoe and headed deeper into the mountains.
After walking on the mountain road for several days, Yu Xian couldn't bear the hard work, and couldn't help but envy the rebellious Zhang Song again.
When he first came out of the Qinling Mountains, Zhang Song was like Harry Potter, flying up and down on the small Suyun flag. He was extremely comfortable, and it was countless times better than wading through mountains and rivers now.
Then, I thought of Guan Hai again.
The days wandering around in the mountains with Guan Hai were much more difficult.
Don't know where he is now?
With nothing to do, Yu Xian casually asked Guo Jia, "I left Sichuan early a few days ago and lost contact with Guan Hai. I wonder if Fengxiao has ever seen him?"
Guo Jia thought for a while and asked, "That wild boar?"
When Guan Hai came to Liu Yan's army to find Yu Xian, he exposed his whereabouts and was noticed by Guo Jia. Later, Yu Xian confessed everything to Zhang Lu and never covered up the matter again.
Yu Xian said "hmm".
He didn't expect any reply, but Guo Jia had a look of reminiscence on his face, "I met him once when I followed the Yizhou Army to attack Yangping Pass. Both he and Pang De were under Chen Tiao'er's orders.
, which caused the Yizhou Army to suffer a lot. Later, Chen Tiao died, and both Pang De and Guan Hai disappeared. If you want to find him, you can ask the Hanzhong County Governor to issue an announcement, and it will not be difficult to find him."
Yu Xian was stunned after hearing this.
He still didn't know that Guan Hai was tricked by the troublemaker witch Chang Le, so he was a little baffled by Guan Hai's return to Chen Tiao.
However, after carefully sorting out the relationship between him and Guan Hai, there was nothing particularly concerning.
Guan Haijie took him out of the mountain. Although it was an evil deed, it also allowed him to see the world outside.
After that, the two of them were vigilant and supportive of each other. After Guan Hai and Yu Xian experienced the hardships of the people in Guandong, they finally began to face up to his beliefs.
Although Guan Hai once expressed his willingness to follow Yu Xian, now that he has other ideas, he might as well get together and part ways.
Yu Xian shook his head and said, "There is no need to look for him. We will meet him in the future if we are destined."
Yu Xian looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late.
He told Guo Jia, "When you get here, there's no need to hurry. Let's find a dry place to rest first."
Guo Jia listened, but did not act as usual.
He looked at Yu Xian and was silent for a while. Then he made up his mind and asked, "There is something that I shouldn't ask more about, but I have been wondering about it for a long time. From the time we left Duhe, if we went as hard as we could in one day,
You can get to the salt pond. But these days, you have been touring Daba Mountain every day without any sign of action. Can I know what your plan is?"
