**Tsk tsk tsk tsk, your husband... why don't you refute, general (rolling

**Come here, he is here, our CP fan boss Bu woke up

Bu Xing's nickname, Zui Ling, was taken by Liu Tunan, the eldest son of Yizhou.Bu Xing has a famous saying "Only Dukang is the spirit of all things", so the prince took the "drunken spirit" to tease him about his love of drinking, so Bu Xing simply used it as a sign.

☆, hard bones

"Zhiyin and I brought back a lot of tea cakes from southern Yunnan, and put some for your temporary barracks here, and Zhiyin also brought some to the Lichuan barracks."

Bu Xing said with a smile: "The general is elegant, and the souvenirs are so interesting."

Chang Ge sighed a little: "Southern Diannan is dying, but fortunately, I met a good man to help me, so I bought tea cakes and did good deeds."

Bu Xing teased: "General, are you joking, there are people who can make you die?"

Chang Ge pouted, but did not answer.

Bu Xing glanced at Chang Ge with a smile, and said, "Speaking of returning from southern Yunnan...your husband, this time he is going to Yizhou as an envoy, and he is showing off his prestige again."

Chang Ge snorted coldly, seemingly indifferent.

Bu Xing knew that he wanted to hear, and then repeated vividly: "Your husband went up to the hall with his head held high, and when he saw the lord and the prime minister, the first sentence at the beginning was amazing again: 'Master Liu wants Wuling or the new city'."

Chang Ge nodded and said, "He has always been so unexpected."

Bu Xingxue was excited, and then smiled and said: "Since the last mission, my lord has found his unexpected way, so I asked, what about Wuling, and what about the new city."

Chang Ge calmly said: "There are ravines and ravines between Wuling and Yizhou, and the population of Wuling is withered. It looks like a vast territory, but in fact it is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to discard it."

Bu Xing sighed: "There is a heart-to-heart connection, it is really a heart-to-heart connection."

Chang Ge glanced at him speechlessly.

Bu Xing continued: "What you said is exactly the same as what your husband said. He also said that when the envoys from southern Yunnan visit, they will definitely use Wuling as a guide to invite Yizhou to fight together, and maybe they will also involve Wu. Among them, attack together. But this idea seems to be complete, but in fact Yizhou is in danger."

Chang Ge agrees: "The Lichuan, Xinye and other places that Yizhou has just won have not yet elected a prefect, and the governance situation has not yet stabilized. At this time, it is really inappropriate to rashly divide the army and participate in the division of the three kingdoms."

Bu Xing asked strangely: "Is it that you two really have such a connection, or did you stand in the hall and listen? Or did your husband blow the pillow wind for you in advance? What did you say, word for word."

Chang Ge gave him a blank look: "Blow the ghost's pillow wind."

Bu Xing nodded: "That means the mind is connected."

Chang Ge was too lazy to entangle with him, and continued to ask: "What's going on in Xincheng County?"

Bu Xing laughed, and said, "Isn't this a great victory in Xinye? We always wanted a piece of fat. The son revised the book several times, and Mei Xiang was entangled with headaches, and he couldn't prevaricate the Xiangyang matter several times. That's why you Mr. Jia sent to Yizhou to fight with all the heroes."

He glanced at Chang Ge, and whispered mysteriously: "Your husband put his interests on the line and lost a piece of fat instead: "Xinye has a broad terrain, suitable for farming, and is adjacent to Xiangyang. Before that, I, Jingzhou Tongyi, Zhouzhou has been a neighbor in the north for decades, not to mention affection, but also some kind of friendship. Why don't you let this neighbor go to the end and get closer. This Xinye merged with Zanyang, set up Xincheng County, and gave it to Yi state'."

Chang Ge muttered in a low voice: "It's really eloquent."

"That's not true! Du Xiang was speechless after his words. Du Xiang, who is that? That is Du Siqing who went around to establish diplomatic relations and argue eloquently in the time of great controversy. You are such a powerful gentleman, Du Xiang was stunned by what you said, and there is nothing we can do about him."

Chang Ge said calmly: "Wuling, Xinye, and Zanyang, in any case, this 'Xincheng County' is far superior."

Bu Xing nodded: "That's true. But... this Xinye is too close to Xiangyang. If Xincheng County is established here, he is really not afraid of losing his wife and losing his army. Xiangyang is also troubled by your black wind charm go."

Chang Ge pondered for a moment, and said: "He dared to negotiate like this, because he must be [-]% sure of the strength of Xiangyang. Otherwise, he would not dare to do such a dangerous move. The captain of Xiangyang County... But before you and I Going back to Jinguan City, carrying a broken mountain knife to attack Shangyong, Xia Luo, who went straight to Huanglong?"

Bu Xing smiled and said: "It's him! When I pretended to attack Xiangyang, I cursed his ancestors for several generations. Now, I can even recite his family tree."

Chang Ge was amused by Bu Xing, and then stopped laughing, and said, "If it's this person, Xinye shouldn't be careless. This person is brave, and he has been guarding Xiangyang, the north gate of Jingzhou, for a long time. Maybe he is a tough guy."

Bu Xing disagrees: "What kind of hard bones, General Gan Xinzhong of Jingzhou, General Wu Yufeng of Jingzhou Chariots, these two are called tough bones. Oh, your husband is also tough. Let's continue. Your hard bones have thrown out the Xincheng County After the fat, then began to show off."

"How to say?" Chang Ge asked.He still didn't know that when he passed by in front of the Yizheng Hall that day, when he was gnawing the rabbit's head leisurely in Jinguan City, Zhu Zheng was so majestic in the Yizheng Hall.

Bu Xing imitated Mr. Shanhe's cold and indifferent expression, and imitated his calm, calm and coercive tone and said: "'Since ancient times, southern Yunnan has been ruled by following the law, and suppressed by going against it. I have never been afraid of it. If it is good The neighbors listen to the slander, even if they help the ants, they will not be able to escape from the world of Jingzhou. What's more, Jiaozhou is about to go to Jingzhou to discuss the matter of Lianzong, and I hope the neighbors can see clearly the trend of southern Yunnan.

Chang Ge was amused by his vivid imitation: "Wonderful man! Wonderful man! Zui Ling, you are really wonderful!"

Bu Xing proudly stroked the broken hair on his forehead, and then said: "Your husband is still far behind. He still has tricks."

Chang Ge tentatively asked: "Persuade Yizhou to join Lianzong?"

Bu Xing clapped his hands and echoed: "Exactly! Unexpectedly, with both kindness and power, after this stretch, he just explained his intention. He hopes that the Lord and Du Xiang will join Jingzhou and Jiaozhou Lianzong. He said that Jingzhou Major General, Yizhou Shaochen, Zuozhi Jiaozhou Merchants are all over the world, and the three of them will join forces, and they will definitely kill every single one of the Yuzhou and Wu alliances."

Chang Ge nodded: "That's true. But... Lord Liu probably disagrees with this grand plan."

"My lord and Prime Minister Du do not agree. The two of them originally opposed to years of fighting, and have always regarded raising a rest and living in peace as the strategy of governing the country. This invitation seems light, and it is very likely that Yizhou will be involved in the second big battle. So my lord, Du Xiang strongly opposes it."

Chang Ge questioned: "What about Mr.? What should I do?"

Bu Xing spread his hands and said, "That's the blame. My lord, Du Xiang disagreed, but he was quite happy, and even smiled. He also said that to show Jingzhou's sincerity, Zanyang and Xinye were still assigned to Yi. It is owned by the prefecture, and the "Xincheng County" is still set up. Before that, when talking about the matter in southern Yunnan, swords were on the verge, and the Pojun was about to crush the handle of the wounded officer's knife. Seeing him laughing and talking, everyone was bluffed I was stunned. Your husband...is really a strange person."

Chang Ge pondered for a moment, and said, "Maybe Mr. doesn't like the world of big fights either."

Bu Xing tilted his head, and said helplessly: "Unfortunately, under the current situation, once the Wu State in Yuzhou forms an alliance, whether they like it or not, they will be involuntary."

He approached Chang Ge again, and said in a low voice: "Did Shizi tell you that if you dream, you should do bigger things?"

Chang Ge nodded: "Say it."

"What do you think?"

Chang Ge put Shen Shaji on his shoulder, squinted his eyes, and his mind seemed to fly to the far southwest: "The northern gate is not easy to pry open, let's try the west gate."

Bu Xing frowned: "Then Yiling is tough?"

"Dingshan Zhiyin has been decided. The son also agreed."

Bu Xing nodded: "The two of them are strong enough, it seems that the hard bones will have to drink a pot this time."

Chang Ge didn't take it seriously, and said, "I'll set off for Padang in the afternoon. From Padang, I'll turn to the waterway and go down the river. I'll do a survey first."

Bu Xing nodded: "You should be careful on the way to explore. Me...Looking at the state of Xincheng County, it's hard for me to get out."

"However..." Bu Xing continued, "Do you have to warn your husband first? Or just bring him here? This time there is such a big commotion, he is too common in Jingzhou, so as not to be affected. "

Chang Ge sneered, "It has nothing to do with me."

Bu Xing glanced at Chang Ge quietly, thinking only in his mind, when the matter of Yiling was settled, when Zhang Zhiyin was arrested, and to ask what happened.

The two were chatting in ecstasy, when suddenly there was a "boom" sound behind them, and the two who were pulling the plaque of "Xincheng County" finally couldn't hold on, the plaque fell heavily on the ground, and even broke a corner of the plaque.Seeing this, the two people who pulled the plaque immediately shrank their heads, and then hid under the city wall and slipped away.

"Five ethics and five constants! You two little bastards!! Come back to me!!" Seeing that the two of them shrank their heads and hid themselves, Bu Xing immediately shouted.

******

This tough battle was dragged from Zhangye to the Badain Jaran Desert.

There are thousands of miles of wind and yellow sand all over the sky.The sand dunes are like boundless rivers, vast for thousands of miles, leading directly to the clouds.Captain Da Zhou Hu Qiang[1] Wu Yufeng's gaze seemed to drift towards the distant Crescent Lake[2] through this vast sand sea.

As the Yuezhi (zhī)[3] said, the sand sea in Badain Jaran is a masterpiece of Fengshen; the sea in Badain Jaran is a gift from the gods.

However, this masterpiece of Fengshen and the gift of the gods together formed a swirling quicksand that swallowed the lives of countless soldiers.The sand sea galloped like thousands of troops, whirled like a violent wind, and roared like the fury of the earth, swallowing 30 Liangzhou rebels in one gulp.

The bunker was full of wailing.

A few days ago, when General Chang Ge personally surveyed the underground spring and compared the depth and flow direction, no one had guessed his intention.

Until today.

Wu Yufeng joined the army in his thirteenth year. He started out as an ordinary soldier, and he is also used to seeing people who kill and fight. This situation makes him terrified.

Sergeant Yuezhi, who was quickly swallowed by the quicksand, still stretched out his arms to the sky obsessively, like the last struggle, and also like the last begging.

Changfeng brought a black tiger-patterned headkerchief[4] who did not know who it was, and went straight up to the blue sky on the wild sand.

The resentment, cursing, begging and wailing of these 10 people before their death deeply shocked his heart.He hated himself for being cowardly, for not being able to bear the demons of killing the prisoners of war, and for not forgetting the cruelty of Chang Ge's killing.

Even after a few years, the sky of the Great Zhou has already ended, this period of sandstorm in Liangzhou will still break into Wu Yufeng's dream along with the smoke of the iron horse.

He woke up suddenly and found that he fell asleep on the edge of the sand table.

The vastness of Yiling is different from the sand sea in Liangzhou. It is not the wind and sand that blows the sky, but the big river that rolls eastward day and night.

Since the overthrow of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the generals were all led by the "Situ" clan. This action chilled the hearts of many soldiers with foreign surnames, including Wu Yufeng.The day after the decree was promulgated, he held the Fentian Sword and wandered around Jingzhou alone.

During the conflicts with the Wu State, Gan Xinzhong, the general of Jingzhou, was promoted one after another, until this time, when Jianping was in danger, the prince sent him back to Yiling[5], and specially promoted him to the general of chariots and cavalry.Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Yufeng left, Xia Jun was taken away by someone.

Xia County is lost.Yiling would rather have his head broken and bloody than lose an inch.

Wu Yufeng thrust the Fentian Sword straight into the Xiling Gorge area on the sand table.

Don't retreat an inch, don't pay back if you don't fix it.

The author has something to say: [1] Huqiang Xiaowei: official name, the official ranks of the Dazhou and other vassal states are different, here is the Dasix rank military position.

** Bu Xing, you are so high...

☆, Yiling

Jingzhou.

The vast water vapor goes straight up to the blue sky, breaks through the moist fog, and stretches thousands of miles and mountains.

The magnificent river swallows mountains and rivers, cuts straight through the peaks, and lies between two dangerous mountains.The river flows like a dragon. Sometimes it is vast and rushing, and the waves beat dangerous waves; sometimes it is winding and quiet, and the clear water shines on the cloud peaks.

A flat boat swims smoothly between the sky and the earth.

The old boatman propped the boat skillfully and sang the Chudi boat song.The songs of Chu are different from the melodious and melodious in the Badong area, and the rhythm of four characters and one sigh is more majestic and magnificent.

After the song was over, the young man in black in the cabin lifted the curtain and walked out, praising: "Old brother, good song, good lyrics, good momentum!"

He has tall eyebrows and deep eyes, and he has a handsome and sassy posture.The rushing wind of the great river filled his robe, and the man walked to the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery of the rushing river in Xiling Gorge, he sighed proudly:

"Ride six dragons, ride the wind. Travel the four seas, and go down to eight countries! [1]"

The old boatman listened to his majestic sigh, and sighed in his heart: he looks like a young and handsome brother, but he doesn't have a big heart.I just don't know, he suddenly became seriously ill yesterday, and I don't know if the cold wind is blowing right now?

The old boatman called out: "Young master, it's very cold outside. You just suffered a serious crime yesterday. Go to the cabin to warm up first."

The young man in black smiled brightly at him: "Thank you, brother, for your concern, it's nothing serious!"

Another tall, thin and handsome young man came out of the cabin, holding a neatly folded red cloak in his hands, standing behind the young man, and said softly: "Master Heifeng, the cloak is brought for you."

Chang Gexin grabbed the big red cloak and threw it over his shoulders.He looked up at the surrounding scenery, and asked the old boatman for advice:

"Brother, is Yiling ahead?"

The old boatman smiled and said, "Young master, Yiling is ahead. 'When the water reaches this point, it becomes barren, and when the mountain reaches this point, it becomes mausoleum', it refers to this place."

Chang Ge agreed, saying: "The great river goes eastward, and the road is steep with strange peaks, but it turns gentle here, which is indeed a miracle."

"Young master, people from the north!"

"How did the old brother know?"

The old boatman chuckled and said, "This great river is called Chuanjiang by people in Yizhou, Jingjiang by people in Jingzhou, Yangzijiang by people in Wu, and Tongtian River by some ethnic groups in the west. It is rare to hear people call it 'Dajiang'."

Chang Ge confessed: "Old brother has great insight, I grew up in Chang'an."

"Chang'an? It turns out that you are a son from the capital, no wonder you have an extraordinary bearing! The son came to my land of Jingchu, although it is not as rich and prosperous as Chang'an, but the majestic mountains and rivers along the way should not be inferior to the appearance of the Qinling River. It's just... where to go? Don't go to the 'Xiling Monkey Creek', the upper and lower Taoping are full of monkeys, and they spread to the side of the official road, it's really a bit naughty."

"Xiling Monkey Creek?" These four words caught Chang Ge's attention, and he silently repeated them several times in his heart, intending to remember them.

Chang Ge agreed, but his thoughts drifted away with this magnificent scenery. He said softly: "It doesn't matter whether it is the Xiling River or the Qinling River. ..."

The old boatman sighed and said, "Young master's words are true. Now, the flames of war have reached Badong and Jianping. I don't know how long this Yiling can be peaceful..."

Chang Ge bowed his head and remained silent when the old boatman said a word unintentionally.

Zhu Ruge persuaded softly: "My lord, it's cold outside, it was good yesterday, let's warm up in the first cabin."

Chang Ge agreed, and entered the cabin together with Ru Ge's back.

inside the cabin.

Chang Ge sat on one side, and Zhu Ruge took out a copper bosom stove.This bosom stove was still caged when boarding the boat, and it was surrounded by a thick cotton cover, and now there is only a faint residual warmth.

Zhu Ruge handed the not-so-warm bosom stove to Chang Ge, and said in a low voice: "General, let's warm it up first, I just got poisoned yesterday, and I went out to blow the wind again, don't feel uncomfortable anymore."

Chang Ge didn't take it seriously, held the bosom stove, rubbed his hands on the bosom stove, and asked: "The road flows to the terrain, how much do you remember?"

Zhu Ruge recalled it rather embarrassingly, but found nothing except the general direction of the flow and the well-known peaks.He said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, General, I really can't tell the difference between the mountains and valleys along the way. I only remember the famous Jiuwan River, Mingyue Gorge, and Phoenix Mountain..."

Chang Ge rubbed his head and said with a smile: "It's all about the scenic spots in Dajiang, I just want to have fun."

Zhu Ruge smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "General, when will Yiling win, can the general bring me here to have a good tour?"

"it is good."

Chang Ge answered without hesitation.

He went on to say: "Let's go back and take the road, and you should try to remember the terrain well."

"I've seen the map of the terrain, but I remember it roughly." Zhu Ruge said while recalling, "There are many mountains on the south bank. After crossing Jiuwan River, starting from the generation of Hongyanjian and Four Famous Mountains, it stretches and winds, full of mountains. Until Mingcui Valley in Yiling. The north bank is also mountainous, but there are official roads, and after passing the Xiling Gorge, the terrain is flat, so Yiling is located in the valley plain here, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the road around the city is smooth."

After finishing speaking, he became a little anxious: "General, if this is the case, doesn't it mean that we don't even have a place to camp? If we camp in the valley on the north bank, we will definitely be found; if we camp in the mountains and forests, the number of people is limited, and there are many people." It's inconvenient. We're stuck in the valley on the south bank, and we're in danger of crossing the river... General, what should we do with this battle?"

Chang Ge smiled at him: "So, in this battle, it is only advisable to have the cooperation of wise generals and fierce generals. Besides, we also have a third line of surprise soldiers to help us."

Seeing that Zhu Ruge was still puzzled, he said in a low voice, "I will tell you in detail on the road, but this place is still not safe."

Jingzhou.

Gangneung City.

Homecoming.This place was originally the Taichang Mansion in Jingzhou. Since Mr. Shanhe Si Taichang was invited, he felt that the word "Taichang Mansion" was too vulgar, so he changed the name to "Guixin Old Residence".

Different from Jingzhou's usual romantic and charming halls and pavilions, the mansion here is simple and quiet, and the main house is a plain-colored hilltop building.No flowers are planted in the courtyard, it is full of mottled bamboo, strong pines and frosty plums.

Right now, a young servant is carrying a large pile of bamboo slips and ancient books, staggering towards the study.The young servant hugged the ancient books to his full arms, so many and heavy bamboo slips covered half of his face.He tilted his head from one side, and he could barely see a small piece of ground covered by the book, walking half guessing and half groping.

The door of the study was open, and the young servant finally stumbled into it, accidentally throwing all the ancient books on the ground.

The study is full of mountains of books, there are bamboo slips and wooden slips, and even more exotic fur, cloth and silk books, all kinds of books are piled up together, like a small mountain.

Mr. Shanhe raised his head from a pile of ancient books when he heard the noise.He was born elegant and cool, but now he is flipping through ancient books without sleep, his hair is a little messy, and he looks more like a crazy scholar.

Looking at this picture of a beautiful woman probing her head in an ancient book, the boy was a little crazy.

"You didn't fall, did you?" Zhu Zheng asked him, looking at him lightly.

The servant hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground: "Xiao, Xiaoke[2] is not talented, and disturbed the master!"

"Nothing. There is no need to tidy up, you can step back."

He simply replied, and buried his head in the boundless sea of ​​books.

It has been more than two or three days for Mr. Shanhe to consult ancient books without sleep.After checking the items in the mansion, people went to the palace[3] to collect some to check.

This young man was helping to transport ancient books from Yigong to Guixin's former residence, he only knew a few characters, and there seemed to be the word "Dian" on the books he was transporting, and some had the word "Gu".

Taichang always felt a little weird after returning from southern Yunnan.Thinking of this, the boy raised his head, but saw the paintings on the wall of the study through several rows of bookshelves.

In the painting is a young man in red, with wide sleeves tied high, revealing his strong forearms.The boy in the painting is facing the bright sun, holding his bow.

The boy was far away, so he couldn't see clearly.He glanced anxiously, and suddenly remembered that there were still several trips to move, so he immediately lowered his head and exited the study.

******

After returning from Yizhou, Zhu Zheng has been searching for books related to Gu poison in southern Yunnan, but most of the books in Jingzhou are about the local conditions and customs in southern Yunnan, and there are very few related to Gu poison.He finally found a copy, but after a rough search, it turned out to be a vulgar fabrication, which made him extremely disappointed.

He raised his head from a sea of ​​books, only to feel his eyes sore and his neck stiff and painful.

This is already the No. 18 day when Chang Ge was poisoned by Gu poison.I had three attacks in the first two days, and I took Suiyan Gu poison once. After that, the attacks gradually slowed down, but they still occurred once every three or four days.Every time Changge took the Suiyan Gu poison, a white pigeon would send a letter to inform him, Zhu Zheng carefully recorded these dates and counted how many times he had taken it.

However, it has been three or four days since the white dove delivered the letter.After all, Chang Ge should have another attack in the next few days.

Zhu Zheng waited anxiously for the white dove.He raised his eyes and looked at this vast and useless sea of ​​books, and he rarely felt angry.

A white pigeon came in through the window and landed quietly on the pile of bamboo slips in front of him.

There was starlight in Zhu Zheng's eyes for an instant, and he quickly removed the letterbox from Baige's feet——

It is cloth.

Zhu Zheng sighed, but still opened the tube of cloth.

"Shu merchants are restless and infiltrating Yiling, fearing a mutiny."

He thought for a moment, took out a hair and brand-new cloth, and replied in extremely small characters: "Submit it."

Zhu Zheng stuffed the new cloth into the letter box, and the white dove flew away after flapping its wings twice.He sighed, and put the old cloth that was passed on to the candle.

The cloth in southern Yunnan is extremely soft, and the merchants in Jiaozhou are very knowledgeable, and they choose only the densest and softest goods.The cloth burns without curling up, but burns softly, turning into smoke and dust.

Zhu Zheng looked at the burning cloth, full of thoughts.He was stunned for a moment and almost burned his fingertips.Zhu Zheng quickly retracted his slightly burned fingers, subconsciously sticking them to his heart.

This pain is like the flint flame Gu poison, but it is too slight.

He felt sad, but had no choice but to hurry up and bury his head in the vast sea of ​​books again.

After all, in a few days, the dispatch order will be issued.

******

Three days later.

Jiangling City.General Wei's Mansion.

Cheng Jianxian, General of the Jingzhou Guard, looked at the hill-like gift in front of him with satisfaction, raised his hand casually, and said, "Brother Huai always gives you such a big gift every time you come here. You can see how prosperous the Wu Kingdom is!"

Jiang Huairen joined hands and saluted, "Your honor is worth a great gift."

Cheng Jianxian seemed quite satisfied with this answer, and said bluntly, "I'm just a rough man, and I don't know how to go around like you civil servants and scholars. What do you want when Brother Huai comes here this time?"

Jiang Huairen looked distressed, and asked: "Dare to ask the general, what do you think about the surrender of Jiaozhou?"

"The son is very satisfied and very happy. Today, the son's decree was signed and distributed to the counties and counties. The port sharing is expected to be put on the agenda soon."

Jiaozhou surrendered, the fly in the ointment is that Mr. Shanhe was taken advantage of.

The failure of the peace war in southern Yunnan and the failure of the Yizhou alliance should have been enough for him to drink a pot, but at the time when the prince was in trouble, the envoy from Jiaozhou arrived belatedly, and he hit it off with Mr. Shanhe and offered to surrender. surface.

The peace war in southern Yunnan was just an excuse, and the son of the world only wanted him to die.Southern Yunnan then transferred to Yizhou, but lost Yizhou but got the support of Jiaozhou. In fact, the result of this trip was not too embarrassing.

However, Shizi still made a big fuss about Yizhou and Xincheng County.

In Jianping, a ghostly place, since Jingzhou Xuetu and Yizhou Lichuan's main camp were divided and ruled, everyone in the court knew that the opponent was an extremely difficult "General Jianwei", and no one dared to accept this job.Coincidentally, the prince followed suit and sent Mr. Shanhe to Jianping County as the prefect by taking advantage of the vacancy of the prefect of Jianping County.

Taichang was reduced to the prefect, although it was only a word, but the difference was a thousand miles away.

Such demotions are false, and humiliation is real.

Mei Xiang was furious, but Mr. Shanhe took it calmly, asked himself to sort out the books for a few days, and then rushed to Jianping with a few carts of ancient books.

What a sour scholar.

Cheng Jianxian thought contemptuously in his heart.If the matter of marching and fighting can be learned from books, then the soldiers don't need to focus on martial arts, and they can all talk about the ways of Confucius and Mencius.

Seeing him preoccupied with thoughts, Jiang Huairen sometimes smugly smiled, waved his hand in front of his eyes, and asked, "General?"

Cheng Jianxian suddenly woke up from his thoughts, and said with a smile, "What? Where did we go?"

"Speaking of sharing the port." Jiang Huairen replied respectfully: "Jingzhou and Jiaozhou share the port, this..."

"What's the matter, just say it straight, don't turn the corner." Cheng Jianxian urged.

"That's why [2] let's just say it straight. Jingzhou hastily shared the port with Jiaozhou and gave Jiaozhou merchants great freedom. This move may be beneficial for a while. In the long run, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits."

Cheng Jianxian frowned: "If you talk about political affairs, then I'm out of my control. I don't understand, let alone want to hear."

"Don't worry, general." Jiang Huairen continued, "The matter I want to talk about is not only related to you, but also has a great relationship."

The author has something to say: [1] Chang Ge is quoted from Cao Cao's "Qi Singing Part One", with slight adjustments.

[2] Xiaoke, Bucai: Self-proclaimed.

[3] Chenggong: The university run by Jingzhou is under the management of Taichang.

☆, surrender

General Cheng Jianxian of the Jingzhou Guard immediately asked, "What does the matter of sharing the port have to do with me?"

Jiang Huairen replied: "Su Wen Jingzhou prince's taste is not vulgar. Qing tea only tastes Wu tea, dim sum prefers Jiaozhou, clothes only wear Shu brocade and Yunnan silk, jade only Liangzhou white jade, and even every wooden rafter in the prince's mansion is from Qin Dynasty. They were carefully selected on the Ba Mountain Range. It can be seen that Jingzhou is a vast place, and the business exchanges are really rich and frequent."

Cheng Jianxian said with satisfaction: "Jingzhou is the head of the six heroes of 'Jingwu Yijiao Jiyu'[1], not to mention the great Chu that once wanted to be king of the world[2]. I, Jingzhou, have a long history, a vast land and abundant resources, and are now so prosperous. , is a common occurrence.”

Jiang Huairen waved his fan and said, "That's why I said this matter is closely related to you, General Wei."

Seeing Cheng Jianxian's doubts, Jiang Huairen continued to say: "The world is bustling and bustling, all of which are for profit, not to mention the merchants who originally did business. Now Jingzhou hastily shared the water and land ports with Jiaozhou. Transportation and customs clearance are very beneficial to Jiaozhou merchants. It is conceivable that a large number of merchants from Jiaozhou will flood into Jingzhou in the future."

"Jiaozhou has always valued business over martial arts, and, to put it bluntly, if the land of Jiaozhou invests in financial resources, it may be able to beat Wu. If you think about it, it will not be a big problem if you flood into Jingzhou."

Jiang Huairen was unmoved by his deliberate denigration of the State of Wu. Instead, he agreed: "Jiaozhou is indeed prosperous and prosperous with gold and jade, fat horses and light fur. But no matter how rich Jiaozhou's products are, there is no Yizhou brocade, no Wu Guoqing tea, let alone Talk about Liangzhou white jade and Qinba wooden rafters."

Cheng Jianxian frowned, only felt that Jiang Huairen's words were different, and it was hard to listen.He said bluntly: "If you have something to say, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Huairen said with a smile: "Jingzhou opens the door to Jiaozhou and provides convenience. It is very likely that all the trade ports will be taken by Jiaozhou. Correspondingly, whether it is to give Jiaozhou additional convenience, or Jiaozhou gradually penetrates and controls the ports, it is very likely that merchants from other countries will It was a huge blow. These people who do business with hands-on business have the keenest sense of smell. Maybe they share the port today and flee to other places to do business tomorrow. At that time, if the prince wants Yizhou brocade, Wu Guoqing tea, Liangzhou Baiyu, General Wei, you have put in a lot of trouble, but it is much more difficult than it is now..."

Cheng Jianxian still didn't take it seriously: "Why is this so difficult? Since the merchants in Jiaozhou are the number one in the world, I directly entrusted the people of Jiaozhou to dump the rare items from all over the place to Jingzhou. Why do I have to run by myself?"

"General Wei, have you ever thought about what kind of money you are making by turning over the business?"

Cheng Jianxian was taken aback by him for a moment, and subconsciously said, "What money?"

Jiang Huairen smiled and said, "Hand in hand, you earn the money that you don't have here, but in other places. In other words, what you earn from trade is the price difference between different places. Just like the loquat in Longquanyi, which is a famous product in Wu, it is a famous product in Yizhou. But it’s all over the place; another example is Wu’s clear tea, which costs five hundred and a pot in Jingzhou, but in Wu’s country, you can buy it for only one Wu baht.”

Cheng Jianxian glanced down at the Wu tea worth two thousand that he was drinking, and murmured in his heart: Such a famous product only costs one Wu five baht in Wu country?

"This difference in price is supposed to allow merchants from various countries to compete with each other and set prices freely, so that there will be no such thing as big shop bullying customers and businessmen bullying the people. But, General Wei, imagine if Jiaozhou controlled all the trading ports in Jingzhou , Merchants from other countries fled one after another, and Jiaozhou became more and more dominant. At that time, you can entrust all the trade matters to the people of Jiaozhou, but at that time, Jiaozhou asked for sky-high prices, and you had to suffer."

Cheng Jianxian has not yet understood the implication of this passage, but Cheng Jianxian deeply sympathizes with Jiang Huairen's last sentence - the pot of Wu Guoqing tea he is drinking is purchased from a merchant in Jiaozhou.

so dark!

Cheng Jianxian spat in his heart.

"... What's more..." Jiang Huairen slowed down his speech and added word by word:

"The ports in Jingzhou will also involve supplies, grain, and weapons. These are the lifelines of a country. If they are controlled by one family, problems are more likely to arise."

Cheng Jianxian, the general of the guard, was shocked when he heard him mention the issue of supplies, food, grass and weapons.He asked: "You mean, if the port is shared, it is very likely that the military's supplies and supplies will also be taken over by Jiaozhou businessmen?"

"Exactly." Jiang Huairen said bluntly.

Cheng Jianxian disapproved: "Jiang Changshi, Jiang Changshi, you can just joke about it. It's just a shared commercial port, and it's just a private trade exchange. How could these military items be taken care of by Jiaozhou."

"Jingzhou is the gate for merchants in Jiaozhou to open ports, and the power of Jiaozhou at each port is bound to rise. I think... there is no need to wait for the decree to be promulgated. Merchants from Jiaozhou have already penetrated into various water ports in Jingzhou."

Cheng Jianxian thought about Jiang Huairen's words carefully, and felt that the sour literati were scheming and worrying unfoundedly.He said nonchalantly: "Infiltrate, let's infiltrate. Since Jiaozhou and Jingzhou have formed an alliance, they will be on the same boat in the future. Even if you control various ports as you said, it may not necessarily embarrass Jingzhou."

Jiang Huairen quietly started a conversation: "So this matter has a lot to do with General Jianxian..."

He shook his bamboo fan lightly, and said: "The surrender of Jiaozhou this time stems from Mr. Shanhe's previous envoy [3]. Jiaozhou surrendered at the court, and before the envoys left the hall, the prince was furious and denounced Mr. Shanhe as an envoy." Prefect. So and so, it seems that there are many things wrong with Jiaozhou's surrender. I don't know what the Jiaozhou envoys standing beside him feel about this rebuke from the hall. This move not only lost Jingzhou's credibility, but also damaged Jiaozhou's face. After all, The line between Jiaozhou and Jingzhou was led by Mr. Shanhe."

Cheng Jianxian shook his head: "The matter you said is really out of my control, and I can't control it either."

"Of course, I naturally know that this is a policy of checks and balances. It's just a chat with the wise general, and it's just a few jokes." Jiang Huairen said with a smile.

"So, you came this time and brought such a big gift, mainly because you want us to beware of Jiaozhou?"

Jiang Huairen wondered for a moment in his heart, how did this person get into such an important position as General Jingzhou Wei because of his bravery and lack of strategy.He immediately suppressed his doubts, pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Jiaozhou focuses on business, and so does Wu. If you have money and make money in the world, everyone is happy. The family holds the port, and they are afraid that people will say tut."

Cheng Jianxian tilted his head and thought for a moment. Although he didn't quite understand Jiang Huairen's meaning, he still vaguely felt that this matter was of great importance. He said, "I really can't do what you said today. Let me To repeat, I don't have your set of words. But... I can indeed recommend someone to you, you take my token to see him, and tell him the truth today."

Cheng Jianxian untied his token and put it on the table: "This is General Wei's token, and the city of Jiangling is unimpeded. You can go directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find him."

He went on to say: "This person's surname is Liu Minglang, and his name is Shiqing. He is the Minister of Jingzhou. You understand the twists and turns of these official circles so well. You should know that Jingzhou, like Wu, is the prime minister's founding director. This person also Like Jiang Changshi, Zheng
