Kaoru sneered: "If I lead my people to retreat to the jungle, the imperial court will send a million troops, so how can I get it?"
Yang Fan said: "Can't" Kaoru Qi smiled proudly, and Yang Fan said: "However, the imperial court has no intention of annexing your territory, nor does it have any intention of seizing your hereditary throne, why did you do this, is it interesting to retreat into the jungle and be a half-savage?"
Yang Fan tilted his head, looked at Xun Qi's neck, and said seriously: "Lord Tusi has a few big bags around his neck, the grave is like a mound, and its color is red, it seems that the mosquitoes in this jungle are not light." ” Kaoru gently covered her mouth and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Xun Qi was furious by Yang Fan's ridicule, like an angry baboon, and said violently: "Fart, neither have the intention of annexing my territory, nor have the intention of seizing my throne, you people are doing this now." ” "No, no, no" Yang Fan raised his index finger and shook it elegantly: "The people who want to annex your territory are Wen Hao and Yun Xuan, although they serve as the governor of Yaozhou and the assassin of Yaozhou, but you know very well that they are not from the imperial court.
As for the three guards and horses who went to help, they were deceived by Huang Jingrong, and I am now about to help you expose his lies. ” Xun'er looked at Yang Fan with fascination, although his hair was messy like a bird's nest, his face was black and white, his body was covered with mud and blood, and even the dangling finger was dirty, but he stood there, looking so calm and elegant, who among her people had such a demeanor Yang Fan said: "So I'm very strange, as the leader of a clan, the Xunqi Tusi, who is known as wise, why he doesn't use such a good opportunity, and would rather take a road of no return."
Do you know that if you do this, you will fall into the hands of Huang Jingrong and Wen Hao and others, and let them succeed in their tricks?"
Xun Qi suddenly calmed down, glared at Yang Fan, and said, "This battle, as far as I am concerned, has to fight.
Now, we have killed and injured a lot of people, as a toast, I have to give them an explanation, it is impossible to leave it alone, Huang Jingrong, the culprit, must die, you can do it" Yang Fan smiled and said, "We agree on this."
Xun Qi's face softened a little, and said: "Wen Hao and Yun Xuan must be punished for committing the following crimes, otherwise other Tusi will follow the same example in the future, and my Yaozhou will never have peace."
Yang Fan blinked and asked, "Then how does the Xunqi Toast plan to punish them?"
Xun Qi waved his hand rudely and said: "This is a matter between the tribes of Yaozhou, it has nothing to do with the imperial court, so why should you ask?"
Yang Fan said: "His Majesty the Emperor is very generous, for Yaozhou, as long as you recognize the existence of the imperial court and accept the rule of the imperial court, His Majesty the Emperor has hardly interfered with you, so as long as it is a matter between your local tribes in Yaozhou, of course the imperial court will not care."
However, Wen Hao and Yun Xuan are both governors and assassins appointed by the imperial court, if you make a move against them and the imperial court ignores them, then where is the dignity of the imperial court?"
Kaoru Kai's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "So, you are going to shield them."
Yang Fan said: "Although they are officials of the imperial court, since they can't maintain the peace of Yaozhou, but there are many incidents, I think they can't do it."
If the Toast of the Xun Period wants to settle the accounts of your own people, then you should wait for the imperial court to remove them from their positions. ” Kaoru said coldly: "The imperial court will remove them from their positions" Yang Fan said: "Huang Jingrong's accuse of you of rebellion should have reached the emperor's hands by now. ” Xun Period's face tightened, and Yang Fan said again: "Although I have been staying in this village, it does not mean that I am only one person, accusing Huang Jingrong of crimes and Wen Hao and Yun Xuan's ambitions, and now it should have been in front of the emperor, Xun Period Tusi feels that the imperial court will defend a greedy criminal minister and two ambitious Tusi, or prefer to support people like you who are loyal to the imperial court."
The anger on Toast's face miraculously disappeared, and he also put the knife into the sheath, rushed up and gave Yang Fan a big hug, and laughed: "Recognizing poisonous things is equivalent to finding a good medicine."
The old man now not only recognizes Wen Hao and Yun Xuan, the two poisonous bastards, but also has Yang Qincha's good medicine to help the world and save the people, this is the blessing of the old man."
Yang Fan was stunned, the changes in the Xun period were too fast, and he couldn't adapt to it.
Xun Period Tusi let go of his embrace, and warmly held Yang Fan's hand, and said with a smile: "The old man represents the Baiman tribe and is willing to accept Yang Qincha's help and mediation, please believe me, the Wuman tribe will definitely agree."
Yang Fan said: "Lord Toast" "Qin Cha said so, but he was outside" Xun Qi said solemnly: "Qincha helps my people protect the cottage, and is willing to administer justice for the old man, you are our best friend, you can call the old man by his name, or the old man takes advantage of your age and calls me uncle."
He took off the jewel-filled scabbard from his waist, put his hands on Yang Fan's hands, and said loudly with an unusually sincere and enthusiastic smile on his face: "This sword is the old man's belongings, and now I give it to you as a testimony of your friendship."
"Uh, Uncle Kaoru, you've agreed to work with me."
"Of course agreed" Xun Qi grabbed Yang Fan's shoulders and said loudly: "Let's go up the mountain tonight, I want to have a big feast to reward the brave soldiers in the cottage, and I want to drink a few glasses of good wine with my good friend and respected Lord Qincha."
Please" Xun Qi couldn't help but say, took Yang Fan's hand and walked towards the mountain.
Yang Fan walked and walked, and suddenly felt that the old man next to him who seemed to have an unusually hot temperament was actually not a big baboon that was easily provoked, but a cunning old fox, and he was the little monkey Wu Zetian who accompanied him to play a monkey show Wu Zetian was playing with her two favorite male pets in Lichun Terrace, she was lying on the bamboo couch of Xiangfei, holding Zhang Yizhi's hand on her chest, rubbing it gently, and was smiling and watching Zhang Changzong change into Hu clothes, dancing Hu Xuan for her, and suddenly the head of the inner chamberlain, Gao Gonggong, hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words to her in his ear.
Wu Zetian suddenly heard that there was an urgent report of the southwest military situation, and Prime Minister Li Zhaode was already waiting in Wucheng Palace, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and he didn't know what was going on, so he quickly stopped dancing, hurriedly changed his crown clothes, and hurried to Wucheng Palace.
When Wu Zetian arrived at the Wucheng Palace, Li Zhaode, the chief prime minister, and Wan'er, the official to be controlled in front of the imperial court, had already arrived.
"Excuse me, flat.
Prime Minister, please take a seat."
Wu Zetian was too lazy to be polite, and as soon as he entered the Wucheng Palace, he exempted the two of them from saluting her, hurriedly went around to the back of the imperial case and sat down, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Li Zhaode said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Huang Jingrong of Yushitai inspected the people of Jiannan Dao, indiscriminately used prostitution, slaughtered innocents, and wantonly rebelled in order to extort bribes.
"What" When Wu Zetian heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy, and Shangguan Wan'er said softly: "The Baiman and Wuman in Yaozhou led more than 200,000 people to rebel, and other tribes in Yao and Wangzhou are ready to move.
The border between Tubo and Nanzhao Chen Bing, the intention is unknown. ” When Wu Zetian heard this, his face became even more cold, when Wang Xiaojie recovered the four towns of Anxi, Tubo had joined forces with the Turks to send troops, and was defeated by Wang Xiaojie, and news came from the Western Regions, Wang Xiaojie has now recovered Anxi, and the biggest problem at the moment is that the four towns of Anxi will be garrisoned.
Now it is roughly estimated that there must be at least 30,000 soldiers and horses left behind in the four towns of Anxi, and these 30,000 soldiers have been guarding the border for a long time, and military food and horse food are all big problems.
It is certainly a method to transport from the mainland, but the road is far away, the road is not quiet, and every bucket of grain transported, I am afraid that it will not consume five buckets.
Wang Xiaojie had already written to the court to discuss the matter of Tuntian, and after the court discussed it, he agreed to his suggestion and decided to let him stay in Anxi temporarily and open up Tuntian.
Although the supply provided by opening up the tuntian was less than half of the food needed by the border army, and the rest had to be transported from the Central Plains, it was better than relying on all the supplies from the imperial court.
Even so, the household department also calculated an account for the imperial court, and now the maritime trade is gradually booming, and the Silk Road trade is no longer as important as it was in the Han Dynasty.
The trade income generated by the imperial court garrisoning Anxi and opening up the Silk Road was not as much as the cost of garrisoning troops in the four towns of Anxi.
Therefore, after the victory, the opposition to the garrison of Anxi rose again, and some ministers still suggested that the troops should be withdrawn from Anxi, believing that this barren land was not enough to defend.
The storage and abolition of the four towns, if only the economic accounts are counted, are indeed more than worth the losses now, and from the perspective of political interests, there are not too many benefits at the moment.
In fact, whether the four towns of Anxi want or not is a difficult problem with mutual advantages and disadvantages, and there is no conclusion that both are perfect.
If there is a big chaos in Jiannan Road at this time, I am afraid that the voice of abolishing the four towns of Anxi will be very loud and occupy the mainstream of the imperial court.
The restoration of the four towns of Anxi is the only military achievement of the Wu Zhou Dynasty so far, and Wu Ze is willing to revoke it.

Furthermore, once Jiannan Dao is in chaos, if Tubo takes advantage of the gap to make trouble and collude with the Jiannan barbarians, then there will be no peace in the entire northwest and southwest, which is not only a matter of the four towns of Anxi, but a matter involving the safety of the entire Great Zhou Empire.
Wu Zetian thought of this, and said angrily: "Huang Jingrong is so unable to take care of the overall situation, he should be killed" Wan'er saw that the eye medicine was almost up, so she said: "Sage, this is Huang Jingrong who has just played the recital of the imperial court, talking about the rebellion in Yaozhou, sage, please see."
Wu Zetian took the chapter and read it carefully, and said suspiciously: "What Huang Jingrong said in the chapter doesn't seem to match what Li Xiang said."
Shangguan Wan'er said: "There is also a piece of the governor's ambassador Yang Fan's recital, which has just been presented to the capital on an eight-hundred-mile fast horse, please read it." ” Yang Fan's recital was ghostwritten by Zhang Khan Zhi, which also mentioned the rebellion of Yaozhou Baiman and Wuman, but Huang Jingrong's recital said that the Tuban had long been colluded with people and planned to rebel, because he found out that he had to start in advance.
In Yang Fan's recital, it is directly pointed out that Huang Jingrong indiscriminately kills innocents, embraces ink and bribes, and forces the white barbarians to rebel.
Wu Zetian looked at it, and didn't know which of the two of them to believe for a while.
Although now is not the time to pursue responsibility, different judgments will determine whether the imperial court will appease or suppress Jiannan.
The major affairs of the country of soldiers, especially the current unsettled affairs in the Western Regions, have a very important impact on whether or not to use troops in the southwest, and Wu Zetian could not be cautious.
