Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 482 New situation

Everything that happened in Shannan Dongdao, no matter how big or small, was quickly sent to Guanbei to be read by Shao Shude, who was on tour in Fengzhou and Shengzhou.

He basically agreed to the proposals proposed by Pei Yuan.

Zhe Zongben served as the envoy of Tang and Deng Suijiedu, who was also the governor of Tangzhou.In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t let him do it, it was him who made it.It is really irrational to ruin the situation in the south for the sake of Tang and Deng to follow the three states.

The governor of Suizhou was Zhao Kuanglin, and he was released after a while.Zhao Kuanglin and his son are wise and can pay more attention.

Tang Deng Sui, it's not a big deal, it's Fengxiang Mansion that really makes people difficult to decide.

After Zhe Zongben moved to the town, Fengxiang Jiedushi had to be taken over by Zhe Silun. One sect had two Jiedus, which was too powerful.

It is also impossible not to let Zheshi be the envoy of Fengxiang Jiedu.Fengxiang Mansion alone has a population of more than 1. Although Xingzhou and Fengzhou are sparsely populated, with only more than [-] people each, Yangzhou now has a population of more than [-].

To move Fengxiang, for Zheshi, it is not a reward, but a punishment, which cannot be done.

Shao Shude sighed, the old father-in-law is so capable, why did he make such a big deal all of a sudden?
Pei Yuan was very talented. In fact, when he set out to leave Lingxia, the situation was not clear, Zhe Zongben had not left Xiaojiangkou yet.The series of things that followed were decided by him decisively and step by step.

This is talent!
Tang and Deng were not allowed to follow the three states to join Zhu Quanzhong, nor did Zhe Zongben swallow the entire Shannan Dongdao in one go, but also let him stand on the front line and face the Xuanwu army's front, which is already the best result.

Tang Deng even planted a nail in the three states: Zhao Kuanglin and Zhao Cen's father and son in Suizhou.

Li Yanling of the Zhaoxin Army holds Jin, Shang, Jun, and Fang in his hands. Among them, Shangzhou goes out of Wuguan and reaches Dengzhou, and Jun and Fangzhou can go down the river to Xiangyang. The isolation of Fengxiang and Tang Dengsui, the two Zhejia vassal towns, can be described as the key of the key.

Cheng Rui, the governor of Shangzhou, has arrived, and Wang Yu, the envoy of the Dingyuan Army, also serves as the defense envoy of Wuguan. After he breaks through Fangzhou, he will immediately go north and return to Wuguan.

Li Tong, the former governor of Shangzhou, was transferred to the governor of Xiazhou. This matter has been negotiated, and he is about to take up his post.

After the original Jinshang Jiedu stayed, Li Bai served as the Jiedu envoy of Binning and concurrently the governor of Binzhou.

There are Ning and Qing prefectures in Binning Town, and Shao Shude wants to wait for these two positions.

If Sun Dian of Fangzhou surrendered voluntarily, he could be appointed as the governor of Ning and Qingzhou.

Yes, it was Zhao Cen from Suizhou.Zhao's father and son served as the governor of Suizhou, and the governor of Ningzhou or Gyeongju. This is a reward, an honor, and a surveillance.

As for whether Li Bai would be dissatisfied or what he thought in his heart, Shao Shude didn't care.

After all, he used to guard the city and had some thoughts that he shouldn't have.Although you rein in the precipice in the end, you can't expect to act as if nothing happened.

Being able to be the Binning Jiedu Envoy and the Binzhou Governor is already the best ending.Ning and Qingzhou, don't think too much.

"People's hearts, human nature..." Shao Shude lay on the felt blanket regardless of his image, surrounded by endless grasslands, and a humming waterwheel in the distance.On the surface of the Yellow River, the tank boats are still traveling eastward, full of supplies.

The Feng sisters massaged his forehead from left to right to relieve his fatigue.

Feng Yanqing was sipping a rare Mengding tea under an old locust tree in the distance.

He also guessed a little bit about Shao Shude's thoughts, hehe, seeing that you are so wise and mighty, you have conquered such a large territory, I never thought you would be so confused.

Employers are not suspicious, suspects are not used, what can't you think about?
From the current point of view, Zhe Zongben has no signs of turning back, and it can even be said that he is single-minded and dedicated.

Tang Deng followed the three states, what capital did he have to rebel?Standing at the forefront, facing the threat of the Bian army, there is a serious shortage of money, food, troops, and equipment, and we must rely on the rear for supplies.

Just wanted to surrender, would Zhu Quanzhong dare to accept it?

As long as he doesn't capture Xiangyang, there is no need to worry.

Pei Yuan is a talented individual, he retained Zhao Kuangning's influence, and Xiang, Ying, and Fu were connected by the Han River, making communication convenient.

As long as the three states of the Loyalty Army and the four states of the Zhaoxin Army are stable, what can Tang Deng do with the three states?It's not like honestly being a shield in front of these two towns.

Feng Yanqing took a sip of tea, feeling slightly dissatisfied.Since the old man was promised to praise paintings in the shogunate, why didn't he come to ask for advice?The old man has been waiting for a long time.

Looking back, I almost fell out of breath.

Daughter Feng Xuan and niece Feng Du were rubbing shoulders and beating Shao Shude's back from left to right, and the three of them were laughing and having a good time.

Feng Yanqing couldn't sit still, coughed twice, got up and paced over.

"Mr. Ling is here." Shao Shude straightened his robe and said with a smile.

The second daughter of the Feng family knelt aside and began to make tea.

"Is the commander worried about something?" Feng Yanqing asked obliquely.

"It's all right." Shao Shude glanced at the old man and said with a smile, "Just now I was asking Xuan Niang what gift is suitable for an elderly woman."

Feng Yanqing was speechless.This son-in-law—well, it doesn't seem to be a son-in-law—does he have a plan in his mind, or is it a waste of time?
"Xuanniang said that this year Zhang Huaishen in Shazhou sent many utensils, and one of them is a gilt plate, which is the most suitable." Shao Shude said again.

Shao Shude also had an impression of that gilt plate.

The silver plate is gilt, and it is conjoined with two peaches. There is a fox at the bottom of the plate. One fox looks down and the other looks up. It is full of strong Persian style.

Foxes, like dragons, phoenixes, rhinoceros, lions, bears, deer, and rabbits, are auspicious beasts that often appear in various occasions.The peach also means "the queen mother's sweet peaches, eating can relieve labor", and it also has the prestige of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits and prolonging life.

This utensil is the most suitable gift for the elderly. It caters to people's psychology of "warding off evil spirits", "praying for blessings" and "prolonging life".

The artisans of the Western Regions are now in trouble. In order to sell their products, it seems that they have studied the Central Plains market.

Doing business is good, doing business is good, it’s not beautiful to use knives and guns!
Feng Yanqing felt that these utensils should not be given to the Feng family. His old wife passed away long ago and has been working as the governor of Taizhou since then. He has two concubines by his side, but he has never married a wife.

"Zhao Kuangning's father, Zhao Dejiao, passed away, but his mother is still alive. When they heard that her birthday was coming, they sent someone to send some utensils there." Shao Shude said: "The old man is old, so it is appropriate to send these."

Feng Yanqing suddenly realized, this kid!
He thought about it secretly, and felt that this was indeed a good idea.

Zhao Kuangning's new defeat must have been terrified.Sending envoys to send some utensils to his mother's birthday clearly expressed an attitude: sit in Xiangyang with peace of mind, nothing will happen.

In today's new situation, Zhao Kuangning is worth wooing.Even, it can slowly infiltrate and gradually eat up the power of the three states.

The location of Xiangyang is very important!

The navy in Xiangyang is also very important!
Xiangyang's money, food and goods are more important!

The three towns of Zhaoxin Army, Zhongyi Army, and Tang and Deng Sui relied on each other and guarded against each other to prevent any one town from becoming big and annexing the other two towns.

But there must be a limit!
That is, how to unite the three towns to block the offensive of the Bian army, and even attack the three states of Ru, Xu, and Cai in the north, but the internal constraints should not be too great, otherwise most of them will be unable to make progress.

Can't you send a mature and prudent person to sit in charge and coordinate the interests of all parties behind the scenes?
Feng Yanqing looked at Shao Shude, who had turned his head and smelled the fragrance of tea.

The old man couldn't hold back anymore.

For many years before, I always felt that my daughter was taken away by Wu Fu, which was very embarrassing.Just like when the Chao army retreated, the daughters of nobles and dignitaries everywhere left behind, and every family felt embarrassed and ashamed.

But after Ling Xia left, the old man's opinion changed drastically, this is no ordinary martial artist!

Feng Yanqing was born as a Jinshi, served as a court official, served twice in the Eastern Zhejiang Shogunate, and also served as a local official such as Taizhou Governor. This official resume can be described as comprehensive.Now that he has encountered such an indescribably good opportunity, he is also a little eager to try.

"Linggong has been away from home for many days, but Lingxia is still used to it?" Shao Shude looked at this long-lived old man, who was almost 70 years old, and wondered what he was thinking?

But in Xiangyang, he didn't want to send people to make trouble.

Jinzhou Li Yanling, he is trusted.Lao Li is cunning in tactics, has insight into human emotions, and is good at worldly sophistication. With him in Jinzhou, there will be no worries along the way.

Xiangyang Zhao Kuangning, just make a confession with peace of mind, there is no need for you to do anything - if you really want to say, yes, it is to guard the door and prevent it from being swallowed up.

These two people provide money and food, and maybe some soldiers—the four prefectures of Jin, Shang, Jun, and Fang. They are savage people, believe in witches and ghosts, and are fierce and aggressive. Part of it is to train well in the rear as a supplement to the frontline battle damage.

Feng Yanqing wants to go to Xiangyang?The drive is commendable, but the mountains are high and the road is far away, so don’t get sick halfway.

"Lingxia is no different from Hezhong, they can eat and sleep well."

Shao Shude laughed, Feng Xuan secretly pinched him, and then stopped.

After holding Xuan Niang's hand with his backhand, Shao Shude said, "I heard that Wang Chongying vomited blood last month, can you tell if it's true or not?"

Feng Yanqing almost asked you where the news came from?Neither Feng's nor Pei's, the head snakes in the river, know, how do you know?
"I've never heard of it." Feng Yanqing replied, and then couldn't help but said: "Wang Chongying is in poor health, everyone in Puzhou knows it. It is also common to experience the pain of bereavement, heartache, and vomiting blood. But there are many such news It is not credible to catch wind and shadow. The commander-in-chief must not be moved by rumors."

"Brothers and friends..." Shao Shude smiled softly.

Feng Yanqing shut up.

"Once Wang Chongying has something to do, I'll go for it myself," Shao Shude said.There is still a word that I haven't said. I have been waiting for the news of his death until now, and I have been waiting very anxiously.

And once the river changes, Shuofang Army's current stall will grow bigger and bigger.

In the past, wars were fought once a year, and the pace was very slow.

But the vassals of the Kanto were fighting every month, and the frequency was extremely high.Now we have to look up to them.

Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong's multi-line operation was often complained by myself in the past, but I never thought that one day, I would also...

After entering the big quagmire of the Central Plains, I really can't worry about it.

Tang Deng Sui Zhe Zongben Group, Shanguo Luo Li Tangbin Group, and then there will be another Hedong Group, a place where three groups of heavy troops gather.

What was Marshal Shao's first thought?Sweeping the lords in three ways, and setting the world?No, what he was thinking about was how to prevent Zhe Zongben and Li Tangbin from rebelling, and he was indeed a martial artist with the characteristics of Guochao.

"Li Keyong from Jinyang sent an envoy yesterday and said he would help me attack Quanzhong next year. He will attack Zhenzhou next month, but Kuangverse threatened to send troops to help, so he invited me to go east from the grassland and raid the black car Shiwei. Xixi, cut off Kuangwei's tribe of soldiers, then enter Juyongguan, and threaten Youzhou, this is asking for favors from me." Shao Shude suddenly said: "What's your explanation, Mr. Ling?"

Heiche Shiwei, Xixi and some small tribes are all allies of Youzhou Town.Youzhou Jiedu envoys of all dynasties liked to recruit Tibetan soldiers here, which was cheap and easy to use, and these tribes also strongly supported Youzhou Town, because the Khitan, the great enemy, needed to rely on the force of Youzhou Town.

Li Kuangwei must be in a hurry to attack these tribes, and he might retreat.

The righteous brother will also ask for favors?This is not his style of aloof as snow.
