Section 17 On Politics (1)
It was early in the summer when Guangzhou was dawn. Places like Shuangliuji were originally just a natural village with only a hundred households, but they were prosperous because of the post road and gradually became lively.
Over the years, even the Huang Chao riots had not affected the here. It was not until the two years that the ant thieves attacked everywhere that this land, which was originally considered peaceful, began to turbulent. Unexpectedly, the Xu clan was annexed by the Yuan clan of Caizhou, and the defeated army had passed by. Fortunately, the Yuan clan was in full force at that time, and the defeated army did not feel like staying for a long time. They either avoided the countryside or fled to the Dabie Mountains.
From Shuangliujiuji to the water, we headed straight to Guangshan.
The more you go west, the more you can see the traces of war.
Although the Caizhou army only plundered Dingcheng, where Guangzhou Prefecture is located, it also frightened the gentry of Le'an and Guangshan counties, and many of them fled to take refuge in Gushi and Huangzhou in the south.
When the ant thieves swept past, although they had never really set foot in Guangshan, Le'an and Dingcheng counties, they also frightened the three counties. For example, the Caizhou Army simply closed the gate of the Zhoucheng and waited for the ant thieves to pass by.
After Daluo observed the situation in Guangshan, Jiang Feng and Chu Chen simply gave up the idea of staying in Guangshan. They took advantage of the cold night to get some wheat and alfalfa in a small town shop and rushed to the road overnight, intending to go wherever they go.
This trip, three people and three riders took a rest all the way, and it was probably because they had entered the territory of Luoshan, Shenzhou. It was already the hour of Hai, and I found a plain on the edge of the forest to rest.
This is already in Luoshan. Compared with the bad means of the Yuan army in Caizhou when they entered Guangzhou, Nanyang's side was relatively more peaceful to take Shenzhou.
Of course, this is mainly because the Guangzhou army and the Shenzhou army fought fiercely on the front line of Luoshan and Zhongshan, which made the Nanyang army get a big advantage and conquered Shenzhou city with almost no bloodshed.
Ju Shangliang committed suicide after being defeated by Liu Xuan with the Xuanyuan Imperial Sword. However, Nanyang did not make things difficult for the Ju family, but just moved the Ju family and his family to Nanyang.
The bonfire started to burn, and a mountain stream was less than ten feet away. A pot of hot water was boiling, and the blazing bonfire made the three of them look red.
Like the entire Shenzhou, Luoshan is high in the south and low in the north, separated from Anzhou by Dabie Mountain in the south. The three passes in the west of Dabie Mountain, also known as the three passes in Yiyang, Pingjing Pass (Wingzhe Pass), Huangxian Pass (Jiuli Pass), Wuyang Pass, which leads to the Central Plains and Jingchu's throat. Compared with Muling Pass in the east, Baisha Pass and Yinshan Pass are more important.
Jiang Feng and his party walked along the foothills. Although the situation in Shenzhou had long been controlled by the favor and power of the Liu family in Nanyang, every time the land changed hands, there were always local raids who were bothering the people, and there were also some outlaws who were willing to serve the family. Therefore, Shenzhou was still under military control in the short term.
"Yu Hou, the situation in this way is obviously much better than that in Guangzhou. The Liu family in Nanyang is known for its kindness, so it seems to be true."
The conversation was Chen Shi. He followed his family elders around when he was young. He had been to Bianliang and Luoyang, and the farthest to Shanzhou in Hedong and Duji. He had been to Shenzhou, Dengzhou, Caizhou, Chenzhou and other places many times. This time he came out was the first time since he joined the army, and he was quite excited.
The Liu family in Nanyang has a very good reputation among the various clans. Not only is the Li family in Guanzhong closely related to it, but the Gao family in Jin, the Yang family in Jingnan, the Shi family in Huainan, and the Meng family in Huainan, and the Wang family in Liangchuan. The Xiao family in Xiangyang, which is located in the south, has been in constant conflict with it in recent years.
After hearing what Chen Shi said, Jiang Feng laughed and said nothing.
The Liu family in Nanyang is said to be convinced by virtue, but the Ju family in Shenzhou has always been very respectful to both the Liu family in Nanyang and the Li family in Guanzhong. They have a good relationship with the surrounding families. The master of the clan Ju Shangliang is also quite famous. However, the Liu family in Nanyang tempted Xu Wangting to send troops to Shenzhou, but he himself used the Yuan family in Caizhou to remove firewood. He divided the two states of Shenguang without any bloodshed with the Yuan family in Caizhou. In a flash, Ju and the Xu family disappeared from the clan.
There is no benevolence in the war between these clans? In other words, look at the severity of taxes on the common people under their rule. The lesser ones are naturally the benevolent kings, and the more important ones are of course the more powerful ones are to convince people.
Seeing Chu Qi frowning, he obviously disagrees with Chen Shi's words. Jiang Feng also intended to inspire the two of them to think about strategic thinking. Since he was determined to cultivate these two people into his basic forces in the Gushi Army, he naturally did not hesitate to guide them in these aspects.
"Dalang, what do you think?" Jiang Feng turned his head and looked at Chu Qi and asked.
"Marty Yu, I think Nanyang is a bit suspicious of cheating on the world and stealing reputation." Chu Qi's words were always so direct, but they hit the nail on the head.
Chen Shi was very angry, "Da Lang, why did you say this?"
Jiang Feng also looked at Chu Qi with great interest and signaled the other party to speak boldly with encouragement.
They are both young men of fifteen or sixteen years old, and they are full of passionate hearts. Although they have long been adults in this era, those who have been displaced and bumpy since childhood have become completely adults. Only in Jiang Feng's mind, they are more like nephews.
"The Liu family in Nanyang claimed to respect the orthodox Li Tang, but never sent troops in the war with King Liang of Bian Luo in the past years. Instead, they were like Jin, Taining Army, Influence Army and even Caizhou Army have repeatedly fought fiercely with King Liang of Bian Luo. Such performance is considered kindness?" Chu Qi was encouraged by Jiang Feng's eyes, and his thin face showed a strong look, so he boldly said: "The Ju family in Shenzhou is very famous, and the people in the territory have always lived and worked in peace. The Liu family in Nanyang has always been good friends with him, but now they attacked by concealing the world and destroyed it in one fell swoop. Such behavior is very different from his bold words to conquer people with virtue. How can they convince the public?"
These words were very meaningful, and even Jiang Feng felt that it made sense.
The Liu family in Nanyang has always been a supporter of the Li Tang Dynasty. Although the Li family has been hiding in Guanzhong now, its true bloodline is undeniable. However, all the families are tacitly aware of Yaozun, and they did not really take this royal family, which has completely lost its strength as a supporter.
The Liu family in Nanyang always calls Li Tang Li Tang, and is very friendly and close to Guanzhong, which has also won a lot of moral support for Liu. It is a bit like the spokesperson of Li Tang in Jingchu and Jianghuai. At least like Zhu Liang of Bianluo, he is a bit afraid of being a gambler. As long as Liu family does not come to provoke him, Liang army has never taken any action against Nanyang.
