After the convening of the governor of Chizhou, he immediately sent someone to report to his superior Tian Bo, saying that he could not let the messengers of the Southern Sichuan Army have an accident on his territory.

Tian Bo received the report and responded to the summons, so the governor of Chizhou sent someone to escort him.

Liu Haitao and Bao Xing arrived at Xuancheng County, Xuanzhou. When they saw that Xuanzhou city was several times more majestic and vast than Chizhou city, they were not as powerful as Jiangling Prefecture City, and even worse than Yuzhou’s newly built Bacheng.

It is shocking from a distance, but there are too many dilapidated places when viewed close, and the female wall on the top of the city is like a dog chewing on it.

Entering the city, the scene inside the city is just a word, chaos!

The streets are bumpy and muddy, and the buildings on both sides are uneven in height and disorganized. The traces of fire and collapsed buildings can be seen everywhere, which looks miserable than the small town of Chizhou.

It was not until I arrived at the military prefecture and prefecture that I felt a lit up.

The state yamen was neatly repaired, with gate tower plaques, gate steps, stone lions on both sides, and dozens of mighty spearmen standing in front of each other, demonstrating the majesty of the ruling center.

Liu Haitao and Bao Xing dared not act casually and kept cautious in following the generals into the military palace.

When they arrived outside the lobby, the general asked them to wait and enter the lobby to report.

Waiting for a stick of incense, the general came out and let them in.

The two walked into the lobby and saw more than a dozen swordsman standing on both sides, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Behind the lobby case, a middle-aged man in a purple robe and gauze hat sat upright with a straight facial features and a scar on his forehead, destroying his correct appearance.

"Who is coming?" A man in blue official clothes beside the case shouted.

Liu Haitao and Bao Xing were stunned. They were envoys, so how could they set up a trial case when summoning them?

Bao Xing blurted out: "We are the envoys of the Southern Sichuan Army. What are you doing? Is there anyone who has given the guests a warning?"

"Bold." The Qingyi official scolded.

"You are so big, we are not here to write a letter of war. You treat guests who come to ask for marriage like this, which is just a big joke. Let me tell you that the way to treat guests is to talk to the second hall." Bao Xing retorted bluntly.

The Qingyi official was speechless. The official behind the case slapped the case and stood up and pointed at the Qingyi official: "You are doing things in a mess."

He turned his head and smiled, "Two, the two of them say they are alive."

"Yes, Lord Xie." Bao Xing and Liu Haitao responded respectfully with politeness.

When he went to the second hall, the purple-robed official smiled and asked to sit down, ordered tea, and then said with a smile: "After becoming a high-ranking official, his subordinates said that they should establish rules. This official announced that Tian Pei, the lord of the state, has neglected the two."

"We are reckless, fortunately we meet the lord and prime minister." Liu Haitao responded respectfully.

Tian Feng was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "It's still your words. I have been fighting hard for many years, and almost all the brothers around me are vulgar men."

Liu Haitao said: "Sir, we are also vulgar soldiers. We are the personal soldiers of the Dongchuan Army. Not long ago, we were ordered to advance to Nanzhao. After accidentally saying a few words to Fufeng Hou, we were treated as envoys and ordered to come to the east."

Tian Feng said: "You are born with military power, but that's easy to talk about. It is said that the governor of Southern Sichuan is in his twenties and has a large territory. He likes to value women and control power. I wonder if it's true?"

Liu Haitao nodded and said, "It's true. Because the territory is too large, the Jiedushi runs around all year round. Because the rule of the Southern Sichuan Army is similar to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, people close to you need to deal with the military and political affairs."

"Are you not afraid of Wu Zetian appearing in southern Sichuan?" Tian Feng asked with a smile.

Liu Haitao replied: "Wu Zetian appeared in the future, and the rebellion of powerful officials and generals was the most serious. Since the Anshi Rebellion, the vassal states would either be in vain.

The envoy killed the heroes, or the heroes killed the Jiedushi, the Jiedushi and the subordinates of the heroes, were suspicious of each other, and they all lived a hard life."

Tian Feng looked at Liu Haitao with a smile, took the tea and drank it, squinted his eyes and said, "The high place is cold, and the southern Sichuan Jiedushi cannot be spared, and life is just as hard as it is."

"There is no colder than the heights, wise, sir." Liu Haitao said respectfully.

Tian Feng breathed and asked, "What do you feel when you come to our army's territory? How do you compare to the southern Sichuan army's territory?"

"Sir, do you want to listen to the truth?" Liu Haitao asked.

"Say." Tian Feng nodded.

Liu Haitao said: "On the surface, the territory of the adults is much inferior to the main cities of the Southern Sichuan Army. Chengdu Prefecture, Jiangling Prefecture, Yelang Prefecture, and perhaps only Changsha Prefecture, which is similar to the adults' city."

Tian Feng said: "I heard from you that the territory of the southern Sichuan army is no longer a place of uncivilized barbarians."

"No, most of them are still barbaric lands, and lowly refers to the main city." Liu Haitao explained.

Tian Feng nodded and asked, "Bashu has been famous since ancient times, and may be much better than Xuanzhou."

"Ba Shu has experienced wars, with a population of 10 households and a huge loss of energy. It will take many years to restore the country of Tianfu." Liu Haitao said, this was out of Wei Fufeng's instructions.

Tian Feng nodded and sighed: "The two sides of the lower reaches of the river have been crippled by war, so it is not easy to recover."

Liu Haitao said: "So my Jiedushi hopes to gain benefits through trade. It is a military response. My husband has benefited a lot from marrying the Hedong Army."

Tian Feng smiled and said, "I heard that the Hedong Army has obtained 300,000 stones of grain, which is considered to have benefited a lot?"

Bao Xing's face changed slightly, and Liu Haitao calmly replied: "Can you not give anything if you ask someone to do things? If the Jiedushi had not married the Hedong Army, the Fengxiang Army would have long attacked southern Sichuan.

The Sichuan Army was unstable at the beginning and could not defeat the Fengxiang Army. As for the request for 300,000 stones of grain, it was a reward that should be paid. The northern territory was captured by my elders with the help of the Hedong Army."

Tian Feng was stunned, nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I'll read the official document."

Liu Haitao quickly got up and took out the official documents, turned around and gave them to a soldier with both hands.

The soldier came over to get it and handed it over to Tian Bo, who opened it to watch.

After a while, Tian Feng asked, "Is Nanzhao worth occupying?"

Liu Haitao replied: "It's worth it. Nanzhao produces a lot of tea, medicinal materials, cattle and sheep, especially a kind of Jinchuang magic medicine. It is very serious wounds, which can stop bleeding and heal, but the yield is not high. This time, a gift was prepared for the Huainan Army Jiedushi."

Tian Feng was moved and hesitated for a moment.

Liu Haitao said again: "I am treated as a gentleman. When I go back, I will report to my master and give him a gift."

Tian Feng smiled, gave up the idea of ​​looking at the magic medicine, and asked again: "What does it mean to be in charge of Shanchan Mansion?"

Liu Haitao explained: "It is the wives of my adult family, many of whom are scattered in the main cities.

The eldest lady and two Ru's wife were in charge of Jiangling Mansion, the second lady and Ru's wife were in charge of Chengdu Mansion, and the third lady was in charge of Yelang Mansion.

Mrs. Ninth and Fourteenth Lady is in charge of Changsha Mansion, and His Majesty's daughter is in charge of Langfeng Mansion, Fujian.

Shanchan Prefecture is located in Dianchi Lake, Nanzhao. Where is the environment similar to Taihu Lake? My family plans to develop it into a treasure land comparable to Chengdu Prefecture. Chengdu Prefecture and Shanchan Prefecture are an ancient Silk Road."

Tian Feng nodded and said, "Two, go and have a rest, I'll read the official document again."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Next, let you set off for Yangzhou tomorrow.”

"Thank you for your care." Liu Haitao and Bao Xing stood up and said goodbye, and were led by a soldier to rest.

"Go, please come here." Tian Feng ordered.

The chief of Xuanzhou was named Luo Zhixiang, who also served as the judge of the army and the civil servant of Tian Fu.

Tian Feng usually manages the army, and he leaves Luo Zhixiang to deal with people's livelihood and government affairs.

A moment later, Luo Zhixiang came, a middle-aged man with a white and elegant face.

After the ceremony, Tian Fu handed the document directly to the official document. Luo Zhixiang took it and looked at it, and then listened to Tian Fu talk to the messenger.

Finally, Tian Feng asked: "Sir, can I make a profit by communicating with the Southern Sichuan Army?"

Luo Zhixiang replied without hesitation: "It is certain to make a profit, and it has a lot of benefits. However, it is a taboo to deal with the Southern Sichuan Army without permission."

Tian Feng sighed: "Xuanzhou is in ruins, and there are enemies on both sides of the east and west. If you cannot recover your anger as soon as possible and gain wealth and strengthen your military strength, you will inevitably suffer the disaster of defeat."

"However, Mr. Tian would better ask the Jiedushi, otherwise he would fall into isolation and helplessness in the future." Luo Zhixiang warned, disapproving of a rift with Yang Xingmi.

Tian Feng was thinking, and suddenly whispered: "Sir, do things."

After Luo Zhixiang left, Tian Feng fell into thinking that he and Yang Xingmi were fellow townsmen. Since Luzhou, they have been sharing weal and woe, like brothers.

Especially in the past few years of hard fighting with Sun Ru, he was in a mess of losing streak and was on the verge of despair many times.

If it weren't for the time to go, Sun Ru's army would have plague, and he and Yang Xingmi would have been defeated.

After killing Sun Ru, Tian Feng was placed in Xuanzhou, but Xuanzhou was damaged too seriously by the war and was in chaos.

In addition, the Xuanzhou area is indeed enemies on all sides, with the north facing the river, the west facing the south facing the threat of Qianliu, and the east facing Feng Hongze who occupied Jiangning.

Especially the Shengzhou (Nanjing area) occupied by Feng Hongze separates between Xuanzhou and Yangzhou.

In fact, the Huainan Jiedu area defined by the Tang Dynasty was the area between the south bank of the Huai River and the north bank of the river.

The southern region in the lower reaches of the river does not belong to Huainan Road, and there are two vassal states opposite Huainan Road across the river.

One is the Xuanshe Observation Envoy, who is under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou, Chizhou and Shezhou, which is the official territory of Tianfu.

The other is the western Zhejiang Observer on the east side of Xuanzhou, with Shengzhou (Nanjing), Runzhou (Zhenjiang), Changzhou, Huzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Due to the war game, the observation of western Zhejiang divided the vassal states.

During the battle between Yang Xingmi and Sun Ru, Yang Xingmi was chased by Sun Ru and continued to fight, and Sun Ru also stared at Yang Xingmi and fought to the death.

Yang Xingmi was forced to flee Yangzhou, crossed the river and entered the Xuanshe Observation Area, intending to occupy the south of the Yangtze River to make a comeback, and once seized Changzhou, Xuanzhou and Suzhou.

At that time, Feng Hongze, the governor of Shengzhou, Guihuo Shengzhou (Nanjing), watched Yang Xingmi fight with Sun Ru.

Qian Liu from Hangzhou took the opportunity to take away Suzhou occupied by Yang Xingmi.

After Sun Ru's defeat, Yang Xingmi urgently returned to Huainan Road to settle the management, and Xuanzhou was handed over to Tian Pei, but he has not been able to make any moves to deal with Feng Hongze, who occupied Shengzhou.

Feng Hongze's forces were surrounded by Yang Xingmi's forces.

Yang Xingmi asked Tian Fu to guard Xuanzhou, because Tian Fu made the most contributions, and the other was to trust Tian Fu's ability. He originally regarded Xuanzhou territory as a way out.

Yang Xingmi urgently managed Huainan Road, but was not sure of success.
