Xu Ping looked at the old man in front of him and couldn't help but feel a headache. He originally thought that the battle of Langzhou had been fought well, and there would be no more war with the border with Jiaozhi from then on. As long as it is handled properly, it will be developed in Langzhou for a few years, and it will become a whole with Pingxiangtong and Taiping County, and Jiaozhi will not be able to turn over the waves.

And after doing this big thing by yourself, just wait for the resignation with peace of mind, the future here will be handled by the new officials, and your future will be in the capital. But I didn't expect that Langzhou was the north gate of Jiaozhi, and once this gate was in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, the situation in the entire northern part of Jiaozhi would completely change.

Since the late Five Dynasties, Jiaozhi has been out of the control of the Central Plains Dynasty, and although it has also changed dynasties several times, the internal integration has not been completed. In addition to the essence of the area from Thang Long to Chang'an, the rest of the country is dominated by Tuzhou Tuxian, especially the area west and north of the Fuliang River, which is particularly independent.

Jiaozhi can see the right time to become independent from the Central Plains Dynasty, so Tuzhou Tuxian under its rule will naturally be able to become independent from Jiaozhi when the situation is favorable.

Chen Gongyong's return to the Song Dynasty was just a sign that the northern part of Jiaozhi had been in chaos.

Xu Ping felt a headache because he thought of this.

Although Tangzhou is bordered by Langzhou, this area cannot be compared with the states and counties in the Central Plains, and the state is only a general concept, and there are countless forces below, which cannot be restrained by the state government at all. Chen Gongyong led thousands of people from Tangzhou to the north, but did not encounter any obstacles, the strong power is only the surface, the real reason is that the local forces do not want to interfere at all.

The return of the Chen family to the Song Dynasty was a threat to the Jiaozhi Dynasty and an opportunity for local forces. The land and sphere of influence they vacated had to be filled, and if they succeeded, they would have dealt a blow to the prestige of Thang Long Province, all of which were popular with the local forces, not to mention the fact that their relationship with Thang Long Province had been strained because of the change in Luzhou.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Ping said to Tan Hu: "These people have worked hard all the way. You take them down to rest first. Take advantage of good wine and food, and don't slack off. ”

When Ping Bo heard this, he hurriedly said: "Shangguan, we are all working hard, where is it hard?" The most important thing now is to send troops to meet them as soon as possible. Our clan has thousands of people, and once we are chased by the Jiaozhi pursuers, it will be a great disaster! ”

"Don't worry, you have already entered the territory of Langzhou when you came, and the Jiaozhi people don't dare to be too presumptuous. There are a lot of soldiers and horses here in Langzhou, so I will naturally send someone there, so you don't have to worry, go down and rest. ”

Ping Bo listened to Xu Ping's words and was skeptical. Refusing to leave.

Xu Ping smiled: "Are you afraid that I will lie to you?" I also have a lot of heart! You are all from the Central Plains, how can I stand idly by? Not to mention that I can't do this kind of thing, Da Song can't afford to lose his face! ”

When Ping Bo heard this, he was a little relieved, knowing that he was delaying Xu Ping's business here, so he had to take a few descendants with him to go down with Tan Hu.

Watching Pingbo and the others leave, Xu Ping said to Sang Yi: "I still have to trouble you to go for a trip." ”

Sang Yi thought for a while before he said, "I'll go and order all the people." But before leaving, I want you to say a word, if the Jiaozhi soldiers really chase after them. To fight or not to fight? ”

Xu Ping was stunned: "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Don't you ask me how to deal with it when I get there? At that time, it will be different from here in Langzhou, here the Jiaozhi people will come to their own death, and then the two armies will really fight! ”

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head: "You think too much, the Chen family has already entered the territory of Langzhou, and it is the land of my Great Song Dynasty." You just have to catch the people of the Chen family, if the Jiaozhi people dare to attack them in front of you. You just have to attack the Jiaozhi people, and I'll take care of everything. ”

Sang Yi said: "With your words, I have the bottom in my heart." ”

To put it bluntly, Sang Yi is a low-level military attaché, how dare he call the shots in this kind of court policy? Xu Ping was the Quanzhi Prefecture of Yongzhou at this time. The promotion of sugar cane affairs, the military envoys of the Taiping Army, and the combination of military, political and financial power, are the people who can really make decisions. caused a big incident, and others could only say that Xu Ping mishandled it, and couldn't find anything else.

Sang Yi said goodbye, Xu Ping stopped him after thinking for a while, and said to him: "There is another thing to remember, north of the Fuliang River, don't be too entangled in whether the place belongs to the Great Song Dynasty or Jiaozhi. To put it bluntly, it was the territory of the Annan Protectorate in the former Tang Dynasty, and the following prefectures were all confined to the Tuzhou, whether they belonged to the Song Dynasty or Jiaozhi, and everything spoke with their fists. If you go this time, if you really encounter the Jiaozhi chasing soldiers, it doesn't hurt to be tougher, but the principle must be controlled, the land that the soldiers and horses are stepping on is the land of my Great Song Dynasty, and you must not let Jiaozhi have the upper hand in words! ”

Sang Yi promised, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Xu Ping meant, he was also born in the state, not a reckless man who could only fight, so he was relieved to leave and leave.

Once Chen Gongyong is accepted, these thousands of people are still a trivial matter, and the various prefectures in the north that were originally under the rule of Jiaozhi will inevitably learn from both ends of the first rat and meet the source between Jiaozhi and the Great Song Dynasty. In the final analysis, there is no clear national border between the two countries, and the sphere of influence depends on tacit understanding, and this tacit understanding has been broken after Xu Ping destroyed Guangyuan Prefecture and occupied Langzhou.

In the past, the buffer line between the two countries was the line of Menzhou, Langzhou, Luzhou and Sumaozhou, and Jiaozhi had the upper hand, so they would invade Luzhou, Shixi Prefecture and Siling Prefecture every few years.

Now that Xu Ping has cleared this buffer line, and the Great Song Dynasty forces have gone out to Langzhou, the relationship between the two countries must be re-formed in order to stabilize. This new buffer must be on the front line of Wu'ezhou, Tangzhou, and Sin'an in the former Tang Dynasty, and before it stabilizes, there will be no less friction between the two sides in this area.

After the matter was ordered, Xu Ping sat down in his seat, looked at the door in a daze, and felt a terrible headache. Now that it's February, he is like an arrow, and he has not thought about things here in Yongzhou as carefully as before. Otherwise, I wouldn't wait until Chen Gongyong's affairs got into trouble, and then I remembered that I had to face the counterattack of the Jiaozhi forces, and whether to stick to the front line of the Langzhou Valley Pass in the future, or whether the forces would come forward, and cultivate a few more wavering Tuzhou like Langzhou and Sumaozhou in the past, as a gladiatorial arena for tug-of-war with Jiaozhi.

Xu Ping has been in Yongzhou for six years, and he is no longer ignorant when he first came to this world, and he knows that the aftermath of a war is by no means a simple strike between the two sides, but also an indispensable open and secret battle during the accumulation period.

The world I came from, after the fierce border war, went through another ten years of border tug-of-war, and then the two sides recognized the situation and had the real tranquility of the border.

After pacifying Guangyuan Prefecture and occupying Langzhou, Yongzhou will inevitably have a tug of war of the same nature here in the future. There are still a few months left, should we do something more, or will we throw all the trouble on the latecomers?
