Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Nine: Yan Que An Zhi Hong Hu's Aspiration (Continued)

After dinner, Yu Wenming continued to talk to his younger brother Yu Wenwen in the study. His younger brother was about to go to Guangling and sit in Jiangnan. This made Yu Wenming very happy. So when the other party was about to leave Chang'an, some things had to be discussed.

When Yu Wenwen went to Guangling, he stayed away from the center of power. For Yu Wenming, a worry in his heart no longer existed.

But some major events Yu Wenming must communicate with the other party to avoid the time when the messenger runs back and forth between Chang'an and Guangling, wasting too much time.

There are many major events, and we will talk about the first things later. Yu Wenming will now reveal to Yu Wen Wen to see the other party’s opinions.

First of all, it was the border affairs. Changsun Sheng, who was on a mission to the Turks, had returned to Chang'an, which brought some situations in the Turks. How to get along with the Turks will be the next problem that Zhou State will face.

In recent years, wars in the Central Plains have continued, and there are also constant disputes in the Turkic country. Now the dust in the Central Plains has settled, and the grassland has settled.

Six years ago, the Turkic Yehu Khan (Asina Chuluohou) was killed during his western expedition to Persia. Kehedun, the daughter-in-law Yuwen, returned to the Central Plains, and the Turkic country was in chaos. Khans of all sizes fought to the point of Khan.

Now, the winner is decided.

The Turks were still divided into the East and West Turks. The Khan of the Eastern Turks was Dulan Khan, namely Ashina Yongyulu, Yongyulu was the nephew of Chuluohou and the son of Shaboluo Khan.

The Western Turks are the Nili Khan, and the relationship between the East and West Turks is not very good. They are harmonious on the surface and secretly destroy each other, probably in a fight without breaking them.

Now, Dulan Khan probably controlled the situation in the Eastern Turks. According to Changsun Sheng, this person had an ambiguous attitude towards the Central Plains and was likely to launch a tentative attack on Zhou State in order to establish his authority.

Therefore, how to deal with the threat from the Turks is a question that Yu Wenming must consider. Is it a marriage with the other party, a false relationship with the other party, or a real battle to make the other party recognize the facts, and the court must make a choice.

Yuwen Wen's eyelids twitch when he heard the word "marriage". First of all, he doesn't like this word. Secondly, if you say "marriage", who will go out to the frontier?

Among the royal family, Yu Wenming is now. Yu Wen Wen has an unmarried daughter (mind). If you really want to get married, Yu Wen Wen has a high probability of becoming the father-in-law of the Turkic Khan.

He himself has no prejudice against the man who is trapped in horses, but when he thinks that his daughter will go out of the border in the future, Yuwen Wen, as his father, is reluctant to let it go.

Of course, although marriage sounds a bit humiliating, it is a normal diplomatic method in this era. However, Yuwen Wen just feels unhappy and feels that men do not work hard and relying solely on women to maintain diplomatic relations is simply a shame.

"Brother, let's talk about it later. I'm afraid that it's not going to be looked down upon by others. I think if you really want to fight, then fight and fight a battle to calm them down to speak."

"Well, I think that should be done."

Yu Wenming agreed with Yu Wenwen's opinion. He felt that he had no reason to show weakness. Once the Turks could not see the reality clearly, they would fight a war first and then consider other things. Otherwise, they would get married as soon as they came up, and the other party would only gain a better attitude and make more unreasonable demands.

You must fight, but you have to use the right general. Yu Wenming is discussing with his younger brother to see who the other party has recommended.

Of course, there are people who choose Yuwen Wen, Shi Wansui will take the initiative, Xue Shixiong can do it, and Yang Su who has worked with him is naturally fine. As for the other generals he often uses, to be honest, he is not very good at cavalry combat.

When fighting in cavalry, they have high requirements for generals and are even talented. They move around on a large scale on the prairie. If they are not careful, they will get lost or be ambushed. Even if the enemy does not see it, they will die of thirst in the desert.

So fighting on the grassland is different from the Central Plains. If it is not that material, it will be a death sentence if it is hard to go on the field.

Yu Wenming is very familiar with the general nominated by Yu Wenwen. He not only has to deal with the threats on the grassland, but also has a border problem that may need to be solved in the future.

That is Nanzhong.

Nanzhong, which is later Yunnan, was the territory of the State of Zhou at this time. Although Nanzhong was nominally the territory of the Zhou Kingdom, in fact, the local powerful surnames had the final say. They took the title of governor and county magistrate and each did their own thing.

The imperial court? It's just a clay statue.

Such a situation was more than a hundred years ago. At that time, Nanzhong nominally surrendered to the Jiankang court, and the Jiankang court was busy dealing with the north and had no time to take care of Nanzhong.

Today, the situation in Nanzhong is still the same, and the local big family, Cuan, has become the most powerful family in Nanzhong after hundreds of years of development, and is beginning to move. He is not satisfied with the governor and county magistrate of Zhou State.

Cuan Hui, the leader of the Cuan family, is currently the governor of Kunming. There are many signs that this person is ambitious and has no idea.

Therefore, in the next few years, the court may have to use troops to the Nanzhong and quell the possible rebellions of local major surnames such as the Cuan family. Yu Wenming wanted to hear Yu Wenwen's opinion and see what generals recommended by the other party.

Yuwen Wen strongly recommended Shi Wansui, because "historical proves" that Shi Wansui is competent for the important task of suppressing rebellion.

As for a defect, he will remind the other party to pay attention.

Shi Wansui is Yuwen Wen's person. Of course Yu Wenming knew, but he agreed with Shi Wansui's ability. Now he didn't pretend to ask his younger brother for the candidate, because he really wanted to do something.

The unification of the Central Plains does not mean that we can rest assured. The internal troubles are gone, but the border troubles remain.

The threat from the grasslands must be resolved, while Goguryeo, which occupied Liaodong, must also be resolved. The great achievements of regaining the four counties of Han can also be remembered in history and talked about by future generations.

Yu Wenming will sooner or later rule the world. Others may think that he will be satisfied with the emperor. However, how can the sparrow know the ambition of a swan? Yu Wenming certainly has great plans and wants to become a generation of emperors who are famous in history, rather than being satisfied with being a happy emperor.

At that time, these problems will have to be solved, so you have to make plans now.

The younger brother Yuwen Wen is both literary and military. For him, it is a threat and a helping force. How to balance is a problem that must be solved.

Now that Yu Wen Wen has been to Guangling honestly, the matter has been successfully resolved, and Yu Wenming feels relieved.

He felt that Yuwen Wen was good at fighting and management. When he arrived in Guangling, he would definitely be able to manage Jiangnan into a place with abundant wealth, but because of his innate shortcomings, he could not control Jiangnan and fight against the court.

The so-called innate deficiencies are that the capital Guangling is located in Jiangbei, not in Jiankang, Jiangnan. Once Yuwen Wen has abnormal movements, the imperial army roars southward and can quickly cross the two Huaihe Rivers and approach the city of Guangling.

At the same time, the Jingxiang Navy of the upper reaches went south and cut off the rear of Guangling. Yuwen Wen wanted to fight against the imperial army with the lonely city of Guangling, which was a delusion.

When you retreat to Jiangnan, there is no Jiankang in Jiangnan. Yuwen Wen has no choice but to escape from the ridge.

Of course, Yu Wenming didn't want his brothers to go that point, and under such circumstances, his younger brother would be much calmer and feel at ease to be a rich vassal king and a strong vassal in the court, rather than threatening him.

Of course, if Yuwen Wen really wanted to cause trouble, he would attack Guanzhong all the way. Yu Wenming felt that he could not solve Yuwen Wen under the premise of occupying Hebei, Hedong, Guanzhong, Shu, Shannan, and even Henan, which means that he was not qualified to take this position.

Now, Yu Wenming plans to prepare carefully for several years to cultivate and maintain a rest with the people, wait for his strength, strong troops and abundant national strength, and his grand strategy can be displayed.

Seeing that his brother was in a good mood, Yuwen Wen struck while the iron was hot: "Brother, Yang Ji, the Guangzhou General Manager, has been in office for many years. Although he has been very popular with the people, he must be careful of his big shots. Should the Guangzhou General Manager be replaced?"

"Guangzhou General Manager?"

A series of landscape sketches emerged in Yu Wenming's mind, which was a sign of Guangzhou, and it was beneficial to trade in the sea. It is said that the Guangzhou governor passed by the city gate and had several thousand more money in his pocket.

Yang Ji has been the chief supervisor of Guangzhou for five years. It is said that it should be done. Under any imperial rule, a certain Fangzhen official cannot be allowed to serve in a long term, so as not to lose his or her rank.

In recent years, Yang Ji has expressed his feelings every year, saying that he should not be appointed as the chief supervisor of Guangzhou for a long time because he married the Xian daughter. He hopes that the court will choose another talented person.

However, many people were afraid of being in the smoky land of Lingbiao. Yang Ji was very successful and performed well in his position as a general manager in Guangzhou. If a person was replaced, the ability of the new general manager in Guangzhou could not be poor, but generally such people were older.

Yu Wenming felt that it would be bad if the new Guangzhou chief executive died of illness shortly after taking office, or even died of illness on the way to take office.

The Guangzhou General Administration has performed well in recent years, with financial income increasing year by year, and Lingbei specialties such as white sugar are becoming more and more popular in Chang'an, and they are almost inseparable from it.

Yu Wenming was worried that if the replacement was inappropriate, the number of products imported from the Lingbei Central Plains would be reduced, so who would calculate the losses caused?

There are more and more powerful people in the court who rely on doing business with Lingbiao to make profits!

After looking at Yuwen Wen, Yu Wenming was a little confused because he knew that Yang Ji was Yuwen Wen's man. Now his younger brother has spoken up to change Yang Ji's place, so it's hard to refuse.
