When Xiao Tang, Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Yi, and Duan Jingzhu left Yujiatuan and prepared to go north by sea, the Liao army had reached the border from afar, and Baozhou, Phidao and other places that had experienced a false alarm had already returned to their former calm.

Now no matter which ethnic group in Liaodong, whether it is a farmer or a nomadic wanderer, they can always find a place to live in the boundary of Baozhou, and over time, they will naturally regard this place as their hometown, not to mention that after experiencing the turmoil of the ethnic groups in front, those shameless people who are good at stirring up trouble and maliciously provoking right and wrong between the ethnic groups, as well as the idle scoundrels, have long been eradicated by Pei Xuanshi, who is heavily enforced. In the following period, the hearts of the people in Baozhou, Phidao and other places gradually settled down.

In other words, in the past, when the tribes of various ethnic groups outside the border lived together and coexisted with each other, once some contradictions and disputes arose, the various ethnic groups living in large groups were indeed accustomed to helping each other, and they often went out to seek justice from the people without going through the government, which inevitably caused great turmoil. And after Pei Xuan's severe beating, all ethnic groups had to get used to the judicial yamen to negotiate and settle disputes.

And after Pei Xuanda used his fists and kicks, it was the turn of Wen Huanzhang, who was not only widely intelligent, but also proficient in the way of officials.

First of all, Wen Huanzhang has achieved the greatest impartiality in the distribution of resources, he not only ordered his subordinates to sort out the names of households and shops very clearly, so that the people of all ethnic groups can carry out their own business and settle down, and then consciously encourage the people of all ethnic groups to collect all kinds of local specialties when they began to implement maritime trade with Wen Zhongrong and Cui Wei on Phi Dao, and wait for mutual trade with the Great Song Dynasty, Goryeo, Liaojing, and even Dongying by sea (or the identity of smugglers), in exchange for the interests of the major ......

Most of the decrees that Wen Huanzhang painstakingly implemented later were also aimed at making the people of all ethnic groups aware that all the residents who lived here, regardless of their ethnic status, would benefit both sides and hurt both if they were together, and they still formed a close relationship.

Although Xiao Tang only occupies a military state in Baozhou, and then several sea towns including Phi Dao, but in the border of the Liao State where Emperor Gao is far away, he is a Song court official who was posthumously awarded the title of a festival envoy after his death, and he is not like Wang Huan, Zhang Kai, Han Cunbao and other generals who only lead the false title of festival envoy in the Song court. Not only does he have full control over the movement of troops under his jurisdiction at any time, but he also appoints all the officials in charge of civil affairs and finances under his own control.

Moreover, the military government of Xiao Tang is not subject to any official control, so it can be said that he is the emperor of the territory.

The refugees in Liaodong suffered from the military disaster, although most of them were the people of the Liao State, but the peaceful and stable life they wanted was not given to them, and now they are also happy to be assigned to this city where the system and order are gradually improving to resettle, no matter what the identity of the wolf master who accepts them is.

But the wishes of ordinary people are easily satisfied, but there is one person who is unwilling to let this go, and that person is Guo Yaoshi.

Now Guo Yaoshi is riding a horse outside the city of Baozhou to wander around, as far as the eye can see, the valley inside and outside the city has begun to see the scale, and not far from the north of the valley has also built a dock fortress, five or six miles outside the city The fertile land has long been turned into fertile land, but see the green fields for thousands of miles, lush and lush, from time to time you can also see the Han people, the Bohai people in the farmers who make a living from farming gather in twos and threes, they have to talk and laugh, it seems particularly leisurely and happy.

You occupy this borderless land, just trying to survive in peace, but in the end, are you the people of Daliao now? Or the people of the Great Song Dynasty?

Pharmacist Guo was thinking in his heart, and a thought suddenly came to his mind: And what am I?

Although Guo Yaoshi had no choice but to leave his hometown under the chaotic situation, he knew that with his prestige and means, the more chaotic the situation, the more opportunities he would have to make a career. Even if I was only born in a cloth cloth, but as the so-called troubled times produce heroes, which good man is not willing to take advantage of the situation and achieve a hegemony?

In the past, Xiao Tang spent a lot of money to fund himself to relieve the Han people who had left their hometowns in Liaodong and were not in danger, although Guo Yaoshi was grateful, he also did his best to help Xiao Tang recruit Han people from Liaodong to migrate to the border of Baozhou. However, after the initial scale of the development of several military prefecture Haizhen, Guo Yaoshi found himself promoted, and the road to greater fame had reached a bottleneck, he felt that his identity was not only non-civilian and non-official, but although Xiao Tang transferred 5,000 brave soldiers among the refugees in Liaodong to form a "resentful army", and also made Guo Yaoshi a military commander, but there was also a Dong clown in the resentful army to fight against him and occupy his military power......

This also did not satisfy the feeling that Pharmacist Guo could be in the spotlight and gather the power of life and death.

Now that Guo Yaoshi has also heard of Xiao Tang's fraudulent death, and has seen a total of 7,500 soldiers and horses, another unit of the Jishan Army was transferred to Baozhou by Xiao Tang in batches, and most of the generals in that group of men and horses seem to be reckless people in the green forest, Guo Yaoshi can now be sure: Everything Xiao Tang did secretly in Liaodong had nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty?

What does that Xiao Tang want to do? At first, when I first met him in Liaoyang Mansion, he was still an envoy of the Song State, but that Xiao Tang did not erect an anti-flag now, but only cared about secretly developing his power, and judging by his behavior, it did not seem that he wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the current situation and establish himself as the emperor like Gao Yongchang and others......

Moreover, Xiao Tang took advantage of the opportunity of the Liao State government to announce that he was killed in Liaodong, and walked around in Baozhou, my Great Liao Nanjing Road, and even the boundary of Jingdong Road in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is estimated that he still intends to return to the Great Song Dynasty one day. This person can't help but be unbelievable, partially born Dong Clown, and the people who moved into that only remember his past kindness of help, and don't want to know that Xiao Tang is still an official of the Great Song Dynasty, since we helped him lay a foundation in Baozhou, why didn't he give us a famous official body?

Although he didn't know what Xiao Tang wanted, Guo Yaoshi could already perceive that what Guo Yaoshi wanted now, Xiao Tang could no longer satisfy him.

Now Baozhou follows the example of the feudal towns of the envoys in the Tang Dynasty, and the subordinate officials are all available, such as the governors, judges, and officials, as well as the commanders in the army, the marquis of Yingyu, and the envoys of soldiers and horses, but in the final analysis, our so-called officials and generals of the shogunate are not officials with formal establishment in any of the imperial courts of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao.

Guo Yaoshi's expression gradually became gloomy at this time, and he secretly said: Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang, although you were kind to me at that time, but I helped you to lead the Han people in Liaodong, and I have not neglected to guard one side at all these days, and I have repaid you for my great kindness. But I was a resentful army commander in vain, first, I couldn't be knighted, and secondly, the situation in Liaodong was unpredictable, and you were hiding from the Great Song Dynasty that the court was plotting against you. Thirdly, I have been the lifelong wish of Pharmacist Guo, and I am definitely not disappointed by my ambition in vain by a grass-headed king in a corner of the country......

After all, those who know the times are Junjie......
