    No matter how the outside world views it, in early September of the second year of Changping, the garrison envoys of the nine major tribes who used to rely on the Zhao army came to Youzhou City in person to pay homage to His Highness King Zhao.  Immediately, he was canonized as Gui Yibo with the ninth surname by the King of Zhao.

    The ninth surnamed Gui Yibo was not happy to have his power taken away by Zhao Xun at first, but he could not resist the strength of the Zhao army, so he had to surrender.  But when they arrived in Youzhou City, the shadow of that leader was no longer in their minds.  What appeared in their minds now was either the sharp Zhao army or the prosperous Youzhou City.

    The nine garrison envoys set out from Landu City and headed eastward. Wherever they went, the situation in Zhao's land was revealed in their eyes.  Along the way, they realized that compared with Da Zhao, their nine tribes were nothing to mention.  Compared with Zhao's city, their tribe was completely a copycat.  Compared with the Zhao people, they are complete beggars.

    They already knew the strength of Zhao Jun in Landu City.  However, after learning more about Zhao Jun's situation, they were completely convinced and did not dare to have other ideas.  Of course, there was nothing they could do. The real power of the tribe had been taken over by Zhao Jun, and the tribe was surrounded by Zhao Jun.

    Especially in Youzhou City, they saw the prosperity of Youzhou City.  As the administrative center of Zhao Jun'e, Youzhou City is naturally the most prosperous place in the entire Zhao land.  The guards of the nine major tribes were completely fascinated by the scene in Youzhou City. Therefore, after Zhao Xun gave them the suggestion to form a caravan and conduct trade, the nine Guiyi Bos gave up their unrealistic thoughts.  fantasy, and began to invest in making money and enjoying the big things.

    "Lord, these nine Uncle Gui Yi, should you let them stay in Youzhou City, or should you let them go back?" After properly handling the matter of Uncle Gui Yi, Pei Yi came to ask Zhao Xun for instructions on how to settle these lords.  .  After all, their identities are different from others.  Even if he is a Lord, he is a unique Lord.

    Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Since they are the earls of my great Zhao, where are they going to go if they don't stay in Youzhou City? Besides, don't they want to learn from my merchants in Zhao and do business here? I  The king has given them permission.¡±

    "Give each of them a mansion in the city and let them stay in Youzhou City. As for the merchants, we won't let them come forward in person. As for the nine tribes, what will they do when they go back? I will let the officials of Great Zhao handle it."

    Pei Yi said in a deep voice: "I understand, I will definitely handle it properly."

    Zhao Xun explained in a low voice: "If they make any small moves down there, beat them hard. In addition, send someone to warn them secretly. If they feel that the earl is uncomfortable, think about it. Among his relatives, there is no one who is willing to enter Youzhou."  There are many people in the city who are the Count of Da Zhao.¡±

    Pei Yi nodded, understanding what Zhao Xun meant.  Now that you have surrendered to us, and since you have been given a title, you should do what you should do.  Otherwise, Da Zhao will not let you continue to cause trouble here.

    "Lord, according to the news we have learned, the entire Liangzhou is now on guard against us!" Situ Liang came in from outside the house and said slowly.

    Zhao Xun was slightly startled and said with a smile: "Oh? Is Situ Fei, the governor of Liangzhou, starting to guard against us? When we fought with the Turkic army, he was not prepared yet. Why is he doing this suddenly now?" Zhao Xun was not worried about Liangzhou.  The situation in Liangzhou is worrying. It is true that the folk customs of Liangzhou are tough, but it cannot be used by the governor of Liangzhou and cannot become Liangzhou's advantage. So what, it does not pose much threat to Zhao Jun.

    Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "The preparations for Liangzhou this time are no small matter. The governor of Liangzhou seems to have reached an agreement with the Western Regions countries in the west. I don't know what price he has to pay, so that the Western Regions countries will no longer invade Liangzhou. In addition, it seems that Situ  Lei also ordered Hanzhong's troops to gather to the east of Liangzhou, in order to prevent our army from moving to the west. "

    Zhao Xun frowned slightly and said: "Hanzhong troops? It seems that this Situ Lei also understands that what is in front of our Zhao army is either to the south or to the west, and he Situ Lei also understands the possibility of our going west.  Bigger. He is telling us that his Yong army is already aware of our actions, but we are thinking about the cost of attacking Liangzhou."

    Pei Yi frowned and said: "My lord, are the countries in the Western Regions also involved? Probably not. In recent years, the lord of the Western Regions has repeatedly harassed the border areas and plundered Liangzhou. This is the governor of Liangzhou.  Situ Fei is also a person who has suffered greatly, so he shouldn't be colluding with the countries in the Western Regions, right?"

    Situ Liang sneered: "Now, Situ Fei can't decide on such a big thing. I guess this is Situ Lei's intention. Once we go west, even if we pay some price, he will let the countries in the western region participate in fighting our army. For  As far as Situ Lei is concerned, since he can't defend Liangzhou, why should he take advantage of us? It's better to hand it over to the countries in the Western Regions and let them fight us to the death, so that he can sit on the mountain and watch the fight."

    Zhao XunchenHe said: "No matter what, we are bound to go west. However, our actions must speed up. If Situ Lei has really been conspired with the countries in the Western Regions for a long time, I am afraid we will not be allowed to find out the news, let alone  Let the Hanzhong army march towards Liangzhou."

    "Pei Yi, ask all ministries and departments to step up their preparations and prepare for a big war. Since Situ Lei wants to play, then we will play with him. How can we let the people of the Western Regions show off their power in the land of Liangzhou? Let us Han people  Suffering?"

    Immediately, Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said, "I guess that Situ Lei's time is running out and it will be difficult to suppress our army so that his sons will not be quickly defeated by me after his death, so I hope  Let the countries in the Western Regions contain us. I just don¡¯t know which of his sons Situ Lei is going to succeed?¡±

    "Forget it, since Situ Lei is preparing for his son to succeed to the throne, how can we live up to his affection? You say, if we go to Luoyang and Liangzhou, there are rumors that Situ Lei wants to establish Situ Che as the new King Yong, you  Say, what will happen?"

    Pei Yi smiled and said: "What else can we do? It will definitely keep the governors of the two places awake all night. Speaking of which, this is a good idea. However, it cannot speed up our actions in Liangzhou."

    Situ Liang smiled and said: "For Situ Fei, the governor of Liangzhou, there is no chance. If our spy tells Situ Fei, Situ Che is the youngest son of King Yong. If he succeeds to the throne, none of his brothers will  What good results will there be? In this case, can Situ Fei of Liangzhou still be able to sit firmly in Liangzhou? If so, Situ Fei will definitely have no time to think about his father Situ Lei's intention to unite the countries in the Western Regions to fight against our army.  We fight until it¡¯s done.¡±

    Lu Ziliang, who was counting the logistics and armaments for the army, also smiled and said: "Yes, this is a very good idea. The best is to send people to talk to Situ Fei and to form an alliance with the countries in the Western Regions. He will definitely be abandoned by the people and reviled by the world. If  If Situ Fei did this, it would not matter that he was not destined to be King Yong. It would even become an excuse for the new King Yong to take action.  Stand with him."

    Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Well, what Ziliang said is true, this is better. So, let's act like this." Then he asked Situ Liang, "By the way, in the past, Pingliang Hou Xu Ye, now  What is his status in Liangzhou? Is he willing to join me?"

    Situ Liang replied: "Now Xu Ye, the Marquis of Pingliang, is one of the three great generals in Liangzhou. Originally, Xu Ye, the Marquis of Pingliang, was not trusted and valued by Situ Fei, the governor of Liangzhou. However, since the War of Liangzhou,  After the barbarians and other countries in the Western Regions began to invade, the Liangzhou army suffered repeated defeats. As a last resort, Situ Fei had no choice but to retain his former good general Xu Ye."

    "Last time, with the help of my wife, we handed over Emperor Xuanwu's letter. Xu Ye didn't agree at first because he didn't want to be a disciple who betrayed his master. However, now, I have some confidence. This  Xu Ye will definitely not escape the hands of the Lord."

    Last time Zhao Xun learned from Murong Xiyue that Murong Xiyue¡¯s father, Emperor Xuanwu, still had a certain influence on Xu Ye.  Although Zhao Xun was not optimistic about the influence of the deceased Emperor Xuanwu, it did not prevent Zhao Xun from sending someone to try.  After all, Xu Ye, the Marquis of Pingliang, had made great contributions to the entire Dayan, and had a profound influence on Liangzhou.  If you can take this person for your own use, then the land of Liangzhou will be half solved.

    However, at the beginning, Xu Ye¡¯s family members were all in Luoyang and were not willing to contact Zhao Jun¡¯s people at all.  After Xu Ye began to gain attention under the governor of Liangzhou, Xu Ye took his family with him.  However, at that time, Xu Ye was not willing to betray Situ Fei directly and declined Zhao Jun's persuasion.

    Zhao Xun heard this and said with a smile: "Oh? When Xu Ye was not so valued by Situ Fei and had such a status, you were not sure. Why is Xu Ye now being reused by Situ Fei and becoming the three generals of Liangzhou?  How can you make Xu Ye betray Situ Fei who promoted him? "

    "Furthermore, now that Xu Ye has killed one of the three great generals in Liangzhou, when he comes to us, he may not be as comfortable as he was in Liangzhou. How can you be so sure?"

    Situ Liang didn't have the slightest worry and said with a smile: "My lord, I don't know. Xu Ye's situation is far from being as good as my subordinates reported. In fact, Xu Ye is one of the three generals of the Liangzhou Army, but in his hands,  There is no corresponding strength. In other words, Situ Fei is afraid of Xu Ye's prestige in Liangzhou. Whether it is among the people of Liangzhou or among the Liangzhou army, Xu Ye, who quelled the rebellion of the Liangzhou army in the past, is extraordinary.  Impact."

    "If the Governor of Liangzhou is a wise and wise person, this may be a good thing. But for Situ Fei, he definitely does not want anyone to have more prestige than himself. After all, his roots in Liangzhou are not deep."

    "When the countries in the Western Regions were harassing the border, Situ Fei did not have many troops. A large part of them were transferred to Yizhou by Situ Lei to participate in the campaign against Murong Cheng. Therefore, Situ FeiI just want Xu Ye to lead the army to fight.  However, the troops and horses he led were all local warriors, and there were only a few government soldiers.  "

    Lu Ziliang said: "This Situ Fei wants Xu Ye to be defeated in order to lower Xu Ye's reputation in Liangzhou!"

    Situ Liang nodded and said: "This is indeed what Situ Fei has in mind. For the sake of his own status, this person completely ignores the life and death of the people in several prefectures in the northwest of Liangzhou. It is really abominable! What a pity!"

    "It is a pity that the final result could not be realized according to Situ Fei's wishes. Although the Great Yan Empire has collapsed, no one in the Western Regions dared to completely offend Great Yan. Therefore, these Western Regions countries only came to take advantage and did not  He did not attack Liangzhou with all his strength. In addition, Xu Ye was good at fighting. Although he was a brave warrior, after three months of training, he became an army that was barely impressive. "

    "When we were fighting the Turkic army, Xu Ye also led his 20,000 soldiers to fight hard with the armies of the Western Regions countries that invaded the northwest prefectures of Liangzhou. Although they did not achieve a greater victory, they also defeated the armies of the Western Regions countries.  Turned away. Therefore, Situ Fei's plan to reduce Xu Ye's reputation or to injure both Xu Ye and the Western Region Army failed. Not only did it fail to reduce Xu Ye's reputation, it made him more famous in Liangzhou.  increase."

    "In this way, Situ Fei could no longer attack Xu Ye openly, but he arranged for him to be stationed at the northwest border of Liangzhou, stationed in Yiwu, Dunhuang, and Jiuquan. However, he did not add more troops to Xu Ye's hands. Now Xu Ye has them  There were only more than 10,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 young men recruited temporarily after the original war. If the people in these three prefectures had not supported Xu Ye in order to survive, I am afraid that these three prefectures would have become a place where soldiers from the Western Regions fled.  "

    "Regardless of how Xu Ye views the fact that he is feared by Situ Fei, he will still be unhappy after he learns that Situ Lei wants to join forces with the countries in the Western Regions and even introduce troops from the Western Regions to fight against us.  Those taboos?" Situ Liang said quietly.

    Zhao Xun nodded and said: "That's true. According to what you said, the success of persuading Xu Ye this time is very high. Although the area where Xu Ye is stationed is in the northwest of Liangzhou, it is not directly adjacent to our current jurisdiction.  , However, through the Turkic grasslands, we can directly mobilize the army to these three places and quickly complete the change. "

    Lu Ziliang's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "In this way, not only can we prevent the countries in the Western Regions from participating in the Liangzhou war, but we can also prevent our armies from annexing the state from attacking from both sides."

    "Just follow this and spread rumors in Liangzhou and Yongzhou, while starting to win over Xu Ye. I believe that persuading Xu Ye this time will be successful." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

    Lu Ziliang said: "I also think there is no problem. Xu Ye declined politely last time, but he did not completely sever ties with us. This shows that he is not optimistic about Situ Fei, or even, he is not optimistic about Situ Lei. However,  He didn't agree because he was concerned about his family and betraying the name of the Lord. Now that the opportunity has come, he should follow the trend."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Liangzhou, Longxi, the Governor's Mansion.

    Situ Fei¡¯s close relatives, including Zuo Sima Wang Hewen and Right Sima Weiping of the Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor¡¯s Mansion, as well as left and right chiefs Shi Tianyu and He Zhaowu, all gathered together.  The face of Situ Fei, the governor of Liangzhou, who was sitting on the main seat, was changing, sometimes angry, sometimes worried.  I don¡¯t know when, some rumors spread from the southwest.  Situ Lei, King of Yong, has chosen the crown prince and is preparing for him to succeed him to the throne of Yong.

    For Situ Fei, this is definitely not good news.  Therefore, he hurriedly summoned his cronies who were busy in Liangzhou to discuss how to deal with this matter.

    "Grand Governor, this is just a rumor and there is no need to take it seriously." Wang Hewen persuaded with a bitter face.

    Situ Fei's face was ashen and he said coldly: "Rumors? Do you really think this is a rumor? The army gathered in Yizhou, and most of Liangzhou's military strength was transferred. When the prince took over, the governor was also a useless person without military power.  . Now that the Zhao army near Liangzhou is strong, the old man still mobilizes the Liangzhou army. What does this mean? "It was originally a normal thing, but it became a thorn in the heart when it was involved in other things.

    From Situ Fei¡¯s point of view, this is clearly Situ Lei weakening his own strength and paving the way for the new King Yong.

    Wang Hewen knew what Situ Fei was thinking, so he said: "Grand Governor, the reason why the Liangzhou army went south with swords drawn is to fight Murong Cheng decisively. After all, it will be of great benefit to our Yong army if the army goes south to open up territory and expand territory.  ¡±

    The implication of Wang Hewen's words was to tell Situ Fei that although you are the governor of Liangzhou, you are also a member of the Yong Army. This mobilization of the army is within the normal scope.

    "Besides, didn't the prince ask us to form an alliance with Gaochang, Qiuci and other countries and ask them to send troops to help resist the Zhao army? In addition, the prince has said that Hanzhong has begun to mobilize troops to return to Liangzhou to help us."

      "Really? The countries in the western region have invaded the border for many years, and they have deep hatred in our territory of Liangzhou. You said, if the soldiers and people of Liangzhou learn that the king wants to cede territory to invite the countries in the western region to help  , How will they react? Can I still hold the position of Governor?" Upon hearing Wang Hewen's words, Situ Fei suddenly remembered what someone had said to him earlier and became furious.

    Wang Hewen frowned and said: "Captain Governor, this is just a stopgap measure. When the prince returns with a great victory, what will the countries in the Western Regions count for? When the time comes, the army will suppress the territory, and we will just let them come back."

    "Really?" Situ Fei said gloomily, "Then, this Commander-in-Chief will become the abandoned son spurned by the soldiers and people of Liangzhou? In this way, the benefits belong to everyone, and it will be this Commander-in-Chief who finally comes out to take the trouble? Wang Hewen  , do you want to bring this governor to death?"

    Wang Hewen was immediately shocked and said: "Why did the Grand Governor say this? My subordinates are loyal to the Grand Governor, how could they have such thoughts?"

    Situ Fei said coldly: "Now the real power in the hands of this governor has been greatly reduced. If you act according to the old man's order, you will definitely be despised by the soldiers and people of Liangzhou in the future. Then, wouldn't the new King Yong have an excuse to attack this governor?"

    "Grand Governor, don't you want to obey orders"

    "Okay!" Situ Fei interrupted Wang Hewen's words and said coldly: "Slow down the action at this time. I will discuss it with my eldest brother. He is the boss, and the pressure is not less than mine.  The Commander-in-Chief would like to see how he responds. Also, the Commander-in-Chief does not need to let others know about this, otherwise"

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to be a mercenary, old man. Even if I¡¯m not qualified to inherit your position, it¡¯s not Lao Wu¡¯s turn!¡± Resentment flashed in Situ Fei¡¯s eyes, and he secretly resented it in his heart.
