The grain ship went upstream and was unexpectedly smooth. It passed through Guozhou and Langzhou, but was not intercepted by robbers and officers.

Wei Fufeng guessed that it might be that the bandits didn't know it was a grain ship, but thought it was a troop transport ship.

The ship arrived at Langzhou Wharf and stopped. Wei Fufeng bravely landed in Langzhou City and inspected this important military city surrounded by water on three sides and guarded Badi.

Walking around the city, Wei Fufeng learned an unexpected message.

One month ago, the imperial court divided the territory of Shannan West Road Jiedu and Dongchuan Jiedu, and established the Longjian Jiedushi, which was under the jurisdiction of Langzhou, Longzhou, Jianzhou and Lizhou.

Yang Shouzhen, the governor of Longjian, is also the adopted son of the eunuch Yang Fugong.

Longzhou and Jianzhou were both under the rule of the Dongchuan Jiedushi, especially Jianzhou has Jianmen Pass, which has extremely important military strategic significance.

In addition, the governor of Mianzhou, which was adjacent to Jianzhou, was replaced by Yang Shouhou, the adopted son of the eunuch.

Mianzhou was also under the rule of the Dongchuan Jiedushi, and the Yangzhou area east of Xingyuan Prefecture was also established. The Jiedushi was named Yang Shouzhong.

Longzhou, Jianzhou and Mianzhou are a whole area of ​​northern Sichuan. They were taken away by the eunuch Yang Fugong from the hands of the Dongchuan Jiedushi, and nakedly opened their fangs and swallowed them.

If the loss of Luzhou and Changzhou is added, the head and tail will be cut off under the rule of the Dongchuan Jiedushi, and five states will be lost in an instant.

"Yang Fugong is going to swallow the entire Bashu. It seems that the power in the court has fallen, and the emperor has become a decoration in the Daming Palace." After hearing the message, Wei Fufeng sighed secretly, but he also had some expectations.

The so-called enemy's enemy is a friend. Yang Fugong was so eager to open his fangs and seize the Dongchuan area. How could the Dongchuan Jiedushi be willing to sit there and wait for death? At least he should take self-protection measures.

Wei Fufeng thought about it and ordered Xiaoxue to grind it. He wrote an alliance letter to the Dongchuan Jiedushi, hoping to reach an offensive and defensive alliance.

In fact, the crisis in Dongchuan is imminent, and Wei Fufeng should wait for the Dongchuan Jiedushi to speak first.

But the crisis of external troubles in southern Sichuan is also imminent. Yang Fugong used the power of the imperial court to seize the three prefectures of Dongchuan.

According to common sense, Dongchuan Jiedushi, who should not be forced to fight, should be committed to constraining the situation.

Therefore, Yang Fugong's next goal may be the governor of southern Sichuan, and the governor of southern Sichuan was originally established by Yang Fugong, so it was natural to take it back.

After writing the letter, Wei Fufeng fell into hesitation again. He suddenly felt that even if he reached an alliance with Dongchuan, could he really cooperate sincerely? Will he dare to let the Dongchuan army enter Luzhou?

On the contrary, did the Dongchuan Army dare to let the Southern Sichuan Army enter?

Will the Dongchuan Jieduan be suspicious if he goes to letter and asks for the alliance? It is Yang Fugong's trick?

After a long time, Wei Fufeng smiled bitterly. It was meaningless to seek alliances. As long as Nan Sichuan and Dongchuan can be in harmony, they will be the biggest alliance.

Wei Fufeng ruined the letter he had written and wrote another letter to Lao Feng, telling Lao Feng that if the Dongchuan Jiedushi took the initiative to join forces, he could agree to respond to each other.

That is, Yang Fugong's military force attacked southern Sichuan, so the Dongchuan army attacked the prefectures of Shannan West Road.

On the contrary, the Dongchuan Jiedu was attacked, and the southern Sichuan army could only attack Shannan West Daozhou, forcing Yang Fugong's military strength to fall into two fronts.

After writing the letter, Wei Fufeng smiled bitterly. Such an alliance would not help the Dongchuan Jiedushi.

It was mainly Yang Shouliang, the governor of Shannan West Road, whose control over several states in southern Badi was on the surface. It seemed that the southern Sichuan sent troops to fight.

Help Yang Shouliang.

Therefore, Wei Fufeng added another group and could let several southern states go to Langzhou, Bazhou and Bizhou.

......

The grain ship successfully arrived in Shunzheng County, Xingzhou, unloaded goods and loaded vehicles on land. One thousand soldiers and more than a hundred strong men set off, headed west to Xingzhou, passed Yangping Pass and entered Mian County, Xingyuan Prefecture, and traveled east along the Han River.

There are three Shu Roads into Sichuan. Jinniu Road is from Mian County to Chengdu, which is the most accessible.

The Micang Road is the land route from Xingyuan Prefecture to Bazhong, and the Lizhi Road is from Xixiang County (Yangzhou) to Fuling, which is located in the lower reaches of the river in Yuzhou.

Wei Fufeng's grain transport was saved a lot by using the Jialing River waterway. When he arrived at Yangping Pass in Mian County by land, he was troubled by the garrison's military.

The military envoy Zhou Hong, in accordance with Wei Fufeng's instructions, told him that this was the military ration handed over to the Privy Councilor Yang Fugong.

The defending general immediately ordered the ban and said a few words to Zhou Hong with a smile.

Wei Fufeng watched coldly, and saw the defenders staring at the grain truck greedily. Many soldiers had a slutty face and licked their lips from time to time.

"Yang Shouliang's military strength is obviously still short of food. The Wei River Plain is not harvested, and Chang'an has shortage of food, which will not be alleviated in the near future." Wei Fufeng made a judgment. His first batch of military strength was obtained from Hanzhong, so he naturally knew a lot.

As the governor, Wei Fufeng's vision quietly widened.

In fact, he grew up in Shangluo County. When he was a child, he was in Fufeng County for five years. During his growth, he always envied the prosperity of Chang'an and felt that Chang'an was no short of food than Shangluo County.

Wei Fufeng has been to Chang'an four times and he did eat well, but he is a concubine with a low status and is not qualified to live in Chang'an for a long time.

The grain truck walked in Mian County for two days and entered Nanzheng County under the jurisdiction of Xingyuan Prefecture.

Wei Fufeng was worried that Yang Shouliang would pull him down and walked through Nanzheng County and Chenggu County in a hurry, and entered the Yangzhou boundary. Wei Fufeng was afraid of it for the time being.

Yangzhou is the territory of the Wuding Jiedushi. The Jiedushi Yang Shouzhong, like Yang Shouliang, is also the adopted son of the eunuch Yang Fugong.

Only in terms of the Hanzhong Basin, it is mainly Xingyuan Prefecture and Yangzhou. The establishment of the Wuding Jiedushi in Yangzhou is equivalent to Yang Shouliang losing half of the Hanzhong rule.

Langzhou was again appointed as the Longjian Jiedushi, and Yuzhou was again appointed as the Southern Sichuan Jiedushi.

Yang Shouliang's Shannan West Road Jiedushi ruled the prefectures, and the three lost states were all prosperous.

Wei Fufeng transported grain into Yangzhou and planned to go directly to Chang'an through Ziwu Road. There were four roads across the Qinling Mountains from Hanzhong to Chang'an.

Wei Fufeng entered Hanzhong from Baoxi Road. Compared with Ziwu Road, Baoxi Road is easier to travel and is the best way to transport grain. However, Mei County belongs to the territory of Fengxiang Jiedushi, and if the grain truck goes there, it will be robbed.

The grain transport arrived in Ziwu Town. During the rest, the subordinates who were ordered to go to Xingyuan Prefecture to inquire and chased after Wei Fufeng and reported the information they had inquired.

The information is that there was no war in Shangzhou, and the war in Huainan mainly occurred cruelly on both sides of the lower reaches of the river.

There was a chaotic war in Huainan Road. Yang Xingmi was defeated by Sun Ru's army to the north of the river. He fled to Runzhou, Changzhou and Xuanzhou, south of the river, and continued to chaotic war with Sun Ru.

It is said that Yangzhou City was massacred by Sun Ru. Wherever Sun Ru's army passed, there were brutal burning, killing and looting, and Yang Xingmi's demise was just arguing sooner or later.

There is another message that surprised Wei Fufeng. It is unbelievable that it would be real news. It is said that Chang'an is preparing for war, and the emperor is going to send troops to attack Li Keyong, the governor of Hedong.

Li Keyong is from Shatuo, and his ancestors were the governor of the Tang Dynasty for generations.

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

Yunzhou (area in the north of Yanmen Pass).

Many years ago, Li Keyong was ordered to serve the king and led the cavalry to attack Huang Chao's army. After Huang Chao's defeat, Li Keyong served as the governor of Hedong (Taiyuan), and was in charge of the Central Secretariat.

When Li Keyong defeated Huang Chao's army, he was afraid of Zhu Quanzhong (Zhu Wen), the governor of Xuanwu Army (Kaifeng, Henan).

Zhu Wen pretended to entertain him, but in fact he was accused of fighting against Li Keyong, but Li Keyong broke through and escaped, and since then he formed a deep hatred.

Qin Zongquan, the great devil who cannibalized the man, was a brutal army after Huang Chao's death. After Zhu Wen defeated Qin Zongquan, he became the strongest governor to rule the Central Plains.

Only Li Keyong, the governor of Hedong, can compete with Zhu Wen.

It is said that not long ago, Zhu Wen joined forces with other vassal states and defeated the Hedong Jiedushi Li Keyong.

Zhu Wen wrote to the court, asking the court to issue an order to send troops to form a coalition forces to attack Hedong (Shanxi) and eliminate Li Keyong's power.

As a result, it is said that Emperor Zhaozong actually approved the report and was preparing for war to dispatch troops to attack Li Keyong.

Wei Fufeng was incredible that the two strongest vassal states fought and the weak emperor was the best choice to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.

Sending troops? That is to cause trouble yourself. No matter whether you win or lose, the consequences will be for others.

If Li Keyong is defeated, Hedong's ownership will only fall into Zhu Wen's bag, and only the strongest person is qualified to possess the fruit of victory.

If the attack fails, the court will not only lose its troops and generals, but will also bear the hatred and revenge of Li Keyong. The emperor's prestige will plummet, which will make the military officials in the world feel disappointed.

After all, Li Keyong was a hero who served the king and did not directly contact the court.

"If the emperor really sends troops, he can only be said to be a foolish man who is eager for success and profit. No wonder the emperor gave him praise as soon as I wrote a letter to give food." Wei Fufeng frowned and thought.

The emperor's actions disappointed him. As a descendant of a great clan, Wei Fufeng also had the complex of serving the wise ruler and being a capable minister in governing the world.

But what we did today made Wei Fufeng feel like a crisis of having a bird hiding his bow.

Wei Fufeng didn't want to die, and he didn't want to be used and then turned his head away.

Now he is the governor of southern Sichuan, and like Li Keyong, he is separating the vassal states. The emperor will take advantage of the so-called opportunity when he encounters a bad person.

Wei Fufeng was thinking about it, and then he turned to think about how to act after arriving in Chang'an. He guessed that the eunuch Yang Fugong would know that Wei Fufeng was Wei Zheng.

Wei Fufeng's idea was to falsely call Wei Zheng an uncle, and he was ordered to come to pay homage to the emperor.

Wei Fufeng's idea, even if Yang Fugong knew that he was the one who went to see Yang Shouliang, he would misunderstand that Wei Fufeng was a small pawn who was ordered.

What attracted Yang Fugong to his eyes was Chang'an Wei family. Wei Fufeng obtained the so-called cooperation under the banner of Wei family.

Based on the information of the attack on Li Keyong, Wei Fufeng also considered whether he could take the opportunity to gain benefits.

For example, Wei Fufeng needed a symbol of noble status from the emperor, one was to be able to convince the public, and the other was to be able to be on par with the head of the Wei family.

With the emperor's honor, Wei Fufeng, as the concubine's son of Wei, could not only gain respect within the Wei clan, but also establish his own family in accordance with the patriarchal law, becoming another founder of Wei clan.

"When you go to Chang'an, you must win the honorary title." Wei Fufeng made up his mind secretly.

His years of low status made him yearn for becoming a noble man. Only the emperor's honor can change the fundamentals of his concubine's son in one fell swoop.
