Compete for the Song Dynasty

Gao Zhisheng came to ask Wang Pang impatiently, but he was surprised by Wang Pang's question: "When will the gate of my house be closed?" He asked Gao Zhisheng to sit down and talk

"After your banquet last time, there were people in the palace talking: Did someone I recruit secretly poison you? Do you think I don't know about it? Now anyone who comes to see me is not allowed to enter the mansion, even my two maids are very careful when they come in and out. Anyway, I am also the Prime Minister of Dali, and I call you brother and brother, but you look at me like a thief." Gao Zhisheng said in a breath, looking really angry

It turned out that it was about the water well. Wang Pang has already found out that the water source of the well is the problem. If we carefully investigate the water source, it will be a big trouble. But since the suspicion of Gao Zhisheng has been ruled out, such a strict ban seems unjustifiable. Wang Pang laughed. Suddenly recalling the scene on the street during the day, he turned his head and looked at Gao Zhisheng's shoes Gao Zhisheng couldn't help being surprised to see that Wang Pang didn't answer him but looked at his feet instead: "My dear brother, what are you looking at my feet for?"

Wang Pang said happily: "Your feet grow on your body and I restrict your freedom of movement. But then again, I have something to ask you. If the toe of the boot is turned up, what is the dressing habit of the local people?"

Gao Zhisheng is also a smart person, knowing that Wang Pang said that he had already lifted the ban and let him go. After all, the identities of both parties are here. Here it is, the upturned boots are the dressing habit of the Tubo people. You have lived in the north for a long time and just came to Yongzhou, where the connections extend in all directions. People from various states in Tubo, Dali, and Cochin often gather to see how to dress, but you have to learn it” [

"Thank you, Brother Gao." Wang Pang thought to himself that in the past, he only knew that the Tubo people were tough and that Tubo had a good relationship with the Great Song Dynasty. It is an exception to see this madman today.

"Again, brother, you only said that you want to go to Dali with me. What is the countermeasure for the marriage? If you don't go, I will go back." Gao Zhisheng couldn't help frowning when he thought of this.

Wang Pang knew that he was anxious and it was difficult to calm down on whom to put this matter on: "Brother Gao is troubled by the fact that he is not yet married. If I don't agree, then Jia Qing can do something, so don't worry for now; besides, I miss you until I reply. The Emperor of Dali may not really be in a hurry to marry Miss Duan to that prince of Tubo."

Hearing this, Gao Zhisheng stood up: "Brother, think of me as a child. To tell you the truth, I have another important thing to do when I come to Yongzhou this time. The person who came to the palace to look for me on the day of your banquet was my trusted bodyguard." I came to Yongzhou to check the whereabouts of a person, and now it is said that there is some news, so I am in a hurry."

"Oh, who is so important to brother Gao, I don't know if there is anything my little brother can do to help"

Gao Zhisheng smiled wryly: "You can help people you don't know. It's also for Dali. Two years ago, there was a rebel party named Yang Yunxian in Dali. At that time, it was because of me that I sent troops to wipe out the emperor. It was given to me. Although Yang Yunxian was exterminated, his eldest son Yang Yizhen defected and often hid in the mountains at the border of Dali, Song Dynasty and Tubo, and he still has some followers. If he becomes powerful, it will be a disaster for Dali in the future. In fact, this time I am You came out without a guard because you wanted to lure him to dedicate yourself. The day you first came to Yongzhou, my guard Ying Darong sent me a message. Who would have known that something happened to your house that day? The guards are so strict, otherwise I guess I can lure that Yang Yizhen. "

Wang Pang didn't expect such a complicated matter here. Originally, he thought that although Gao Zhisheng had some martial arts and character, he still said that in the past, he was a bit too childlike. This made him feel more fond of Gao Zhisheng. This is Dali. Guo Xiang also had some courage, and he also stood up: "Who says I can't help you? I'll call someone to draw pictures and graphics. You can tell me to set up a net to help Brother Gao catch this thief."

"I'm relieved if you say that, but it's Dali's business after all, so don't worry about it, brother. Besides, Yang Yizhen is very cunning. I'm afraid that would be easy to scare the snake. I need to go out now. Just to be safe, I'll ask you to borrow a few people."

Wang Pang couldn't stop Gao Zhisheng from going out, besides, he had just resigned and said he would let him go. Considering Gao Zhisheng's safety, it was necessary for several people to follow secretly. Wang Pang nodded and said, "Brother Gao, who do you think you want to borrow?"

"Brother, the guards around you are all clever. You see, two or three of them are enough for me. I'm going to contact my master. If there is, then let's go and find out about Yang Yizhen's whereabouts together."

"Good man!" Wang Pang yelled at the door, and then walked into a soldier, "Go and call General Zhang, Commander Wu and Commander Wa." The soldiers led the order and went out.

Wang Bang turned his head and said to Gao Zhisheng: "You are familiar with Zhang Ping and Wu Ling, and Wa Zhuang is a local, very familiar with the terrain and people, how about lending these three to you?"

Gao Zhisheng was very happy when he heard this. He knew that these people were Wang Pang's personal bodyguards. They were the best in martial arts among the guards, and they were also Wang Pang's good brothers. Being able to lend these three people to him shows Wang Pang's trust in him: "There are a lot of people. Brother Xie Xian, then I will prepare first."

State Prime Minister Gao Zhisheng pretended to go out to visit the whereabouts of the traitor Yang Yizhen in Dali. Wang Pang asked Zhang Ping and the three to closely protect Gao Zhisheng's safety. They all left. Wang Pang called Chen Kang and Chen Kang. I asked him to sort out the missing chapters in the "Wu Jing Zong Yao". At the time, Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang donated the book "Wu Jing Zong Yao" to Wang Pang. It's a great achievement. Although he has been particularly jealous of gunpowder until now, he read it again and realized it more deeply.

After arriving in Yongzhou, Wang Pang stepped up the construction of Yongzhou while ordering Chen Kang to complete the missing chapters and prepare to choose a place to build his own arsenal. It has to be reviewed and revised by Wang Pang, so the matter of organizing these chapters falls on Chen Kang. After Wang Pang understands the progress of Chen Kang's side, he is very happy to know that the chapters have been sorted out.

"Mr. Chen, you have to pay five hundred li from your account to find a remote place to build our own arsenal first. After this, it will be handed over to Mr. Supervising and responsible, sir, you will have to worry about it." During this time, Wang Pang saw that Chen Although Kang looked cowardly before, he was extremely serious in his actions

Chen Kang was so excited that his hands trembled: "My lord, you trust me so much, I will try my best to do this well."

"Haha, when the arsenal is built, Mr. Chen can't just find the gunpowder and bury it in a pit." Wang's joke made Chen Kang relax and remembered the first time he went to Linchuan Wang Anshi's mansion to snatch the fireworks and gunpowder that Tong Guan played with. Just buried it in the ground Chen Kang himself laughed, "Where did the lord say that you put gunpowder in front of my eyes? I wouldn't do that. I was naughty when I was young, and I can't blame the power of gunpowder. If we fight in the future, it must be used. Don't worry, my lord."

Wang Pang smiled gratifiedly and arranged for Chen Kang to do this as soon as possible. It is also a big deal for Wang Pang. Now that the imperial court does not allocate troops to Yongzhou, this self-government is not so simple and easy. It is not without reason that Wang Pang did this. He knew that after the establishment of the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty, he was staring at the Lingnan prefectures belonging to the Northern Song Dynasty. In the next few years, the Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi launched an attack on the Lingnan area of ​​​​the Northern Song Dynasty and captured Qinzhou Lianzhou and Yongzhou. After the capture of Yongzhou, more than [-] soldiers and civilians were killed in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Ever since he arrived at King Yongzhou, his subconscious mind received the information about this period of history, and he began to pay close attention to the layout of Yongzhou's defense. For him, Jiaozhi is like a Japanese slave, and it is a foreign enemy. As well as the Liao Kingdom, preventing and resisting Cochin is also one of the most important things Wang Pang has to do in Yongzhou. It’s just that such a big matter is now handed over to Chen Kang. Can Chen Kang not feel pressured and honored, especially after instilling defense in Chen Kang? Chen Kang feels that Wang Pang thinks highly of him, not to mention gunpowder, which he resisted because of a broken foot since he was a child. Now if he is asked to imitate Dong Cunrui and carry a gunpowder bag to blow up something, he will die. Of course he doesn't know who Dong Cunrui is

In the midst of the busy schedule, it was already getting dark. Wang had a simple dinner on the spot in the study. Jiao Deyou brought Jia Xian to the palace. Wang Pang's study room is different from the big shopkeeper who appeared at the bank in casual clothes during the day after seeing Wang Pang sitting on the desk. If Weiyi had held back his stomach, what he would see now was the prince in the palace. Suddenly, Jia Xian was really conflicted. What if he said something wrong, what should he do? Once the young master is decorated with this aura at this moment, it really feels like sitting behind the desk without getting angry

"My lord, I brought Jia Xian." Jiao Deyou stepped forward to salute

Wang Pang waved his hand: "Two, please sit down, Jia Xian, what do you want to tell me?"

Jia Xian didn't even dare to sit down, hurriedly saluted and said, "My lord, I, I, I." He said and glanced at Jiao Deyou

"What about me, I told you to tell me what you were nervous about" Jiao Deyou glared at Jia Xian

"Wild..." Jia Xian promised to brew up his emotions, thinking that he had studied actuarial calculations for many years, and now he finally has a place to play, so he must show it well in front of the prince, so that he can be worthy of going south to the king's side
