17. Zhang Yan rewarded the diligent king

Borrowing a boat from Han Huan?

But Han Huan's voyage should only be responsible for the voyage from Runzhou to Xiangyang, and then it was handed over to Jia Dan for relay.

"It doesn't matter. Let some of the vocational ships continue to follow the Han River. Can't we rent them out? Write a letter to Han Huan quickly." Gao Yue quickly finalized the matter.

He is now the person in charge of the three prefectures of Xingyuan Prefecture. The emperor tried his best to ask him to judge the three prefectures to camp and transfer the country. It was not a time to hesitate!

"You can also write letters to Cao Wanggao, the governor of Jingnan, Cui Gong (Gao Yue's uncle and father-in-law), Zhang Boyi, the governor of Jiangnan West Road, and Li Jian, the governor of Eyue Capital Tuan. As long as there are half old and extra ships, no matter how big or small, you can flow into the Han River through various rivers and reach the city of Xingyuan Prefecture." Liu Deshi proposed a supplementary plan.

After being tempered by administrative affairs in Yuanzhou, Liu De's room has now greatly improved its level and is far from being a Confucian scholar who was in the capital in the past.

"Okay, Fangzhai, I will hand over the letters and books to you. I will ask the Holy Lord and Yan Xiang for instructions on renting various ships. I believe there will be no obstacles."

Now as long as you can transport rice to Fengtian City, Li Shi can accept any plan.

At this time, Cai Fengyuan said that it would not work if there was a ship. Most of the soldiers in the Baicao Army and the three states did not know the art of carving ships, especially our Baicao Army, whose combat power was mainly cavalry, which made it too difficult for them to get on the ship.

Gao Yue nodded. As the saying goes, the northerners do not believe that there are ten thousand hu of ships in the south of the Yangtze River, and the southerners do not believe that there are thousands of tents in the north. One side is good at fast horses and arrows, and the other side is good at boating by oars. It has been since ancient times.

But he had already thought of a way to deal with it, because half of my Baicao Army came from the old soldiers in the Jingyuan camp, and were there still "Guangwu's garrison" and "Xiacai's garrison" in the camp.

Before leaving, Jia Dan told him that now, the two river thieves in Shanpan are the most rampant in Henan and Huainan. Why? It is because these two roads happen to be located in Eyue, Bian and Song dynasties, and it is common to rob the river and rob the villages. Therefore, the soldiers from Guangwu and Xiacai should not be so unfamiliar with ships.

Gao Yue asked Gao Gu to choose the simple selection, "Select two hundred to three hundred people who know how to sail, choose the leader, and send the money and silk to Lumi, and then you should talk about it first!"

Gao Yue then made a very decisive arrangement and sent Ya general Hou Lan out of the Lisuoxixiang County of Yangzhou to command the local prefecture troops, and waited for an opportunity to advance to Jinzhou to the east in order to control the waterway from the Han River to Shangjin.

Then the sword and axe general Cheng Junren led the troops of five hundred Liangzhou to Sanquan County, Lizhou, where there was a military supply courtyard established by Gao Yue when he followed Li Sheng to Shu, and stockpiled military rations and could monitor the post road leading to Shu.

Then Gao Yue established a craftsman's courtyard and a workshop in Chenggu County on the east side of Xingyuan Prefecture. There were dense mountains and forests, and there were old iron officials from the Han Dynasty, which could easily forge agricultural tools and military weapons.

Another day later, the new Xingyuan Young Master Yin Gaoyue rode a horse to inspect the entire Xingyuan Prefecture and observe the local water conservancy and military farming matters. Before leaving, he asked his chief Wei Ping to start submitting a memorial to Fengtian, asking His Majesty to send a governor to Yangzhou and Lizhou as soon as possible. The Liu Deshi, the officer of the Silu, sent a post letter to all parties, with the purpose of asking for a ship.

Then, just five miles from the west gate of Xingyuan Prefecture, several cavalrymen rushed toward Bailaoguan. The riders on the moving horses shouted, holding bamboo tubes with military aircraft.

Cai Fengyuan hurriedly led his troops forward and stopped the cavalry who delivered the letter.

One of them jumped off the horse and took the curtain that blocked the wind and sand. It was Wei Tuotian. He was now a famous official and removed his official name. He saw this man kneeling in front of Gao Yue's horse and presented the message to him, saying, "The Wei envoy of Fengzhou has something urgent to do."

Wei Gao?

Gao Yue's face darkened. He took the message tube and took out the silk book. After reading it, his face changed. After wiping a few whips, he turned back to Xingyuan Mansion.

Wei Ping, who was still writing a memorial, was urgently called by Shao Yin. When he walked out, he saw his brother Fengxingdutuan trainee Wei Gao's handwriting, and he couldn't help but tremble and looked at Gao Yue.

"It was the Xishan Army in Shu who followed the Jialing River and brought the letter into a grain bag and gave it to Chengwu." Gao Yue pointed at the silk book and said.

"Zhang Yanshang must lead the army north to serve the king." Wei Ping said anxiously.

Zhang Yanshang of Xichuan finally moved, and he also brought Wu Mian, the governor of Dongchuan, to gather 30,000 troops, of which the core armed forces were the Xishan Army of Shudu.

"Why should Zhang Yanshang be the king?" Gao Yue lifted the cloth nest fiercely.

Because he knew that Zhang Yanshang would not serve the king sooner or later, but he would not serve the king only after he and Wei Gao entered Xingyuan and Fengxing, and it was really for me.

I just want to deprive Wei Gao and I of loyalty.

After Zhang Yanshang learned about the situation in Fengtian City from his son-in-law Zheng Zhi and Liu Yan's plan to open Shangjin Road, he soon learned that the matter was not good: Now Gao Yue's Xingyuan Prefecture controls the Baoxi Road and Luogu Road to the north, and controls the three paths of Jinniu, Micang and Lizhi that enter Shu to the south, while Wei Gao's two states of Fengxing, which controls the Chencang Road and Jialing River (Western Han River), which runs between Shu and the capital, and can connect to the Han River and the Yangtze River to the east. Gao Yue's attitude towards him is unknown, but Wei Gao is the eldest son-in-law he hates the most (Wei Gao also hates him the most). Gao Yue is also brothers and sisters with Wei Gao. If they succeed, what will he do?

So Zhang Yanshang was preparing to go north to Fengtian with Wu Mian. On the surface, he was helping His Majesty return to the capital, but in fact he wanted to use the 30,000 soldiers and the wealth of the east and west Sichuans of Shu as a bargaining power, and asked His Majesty to reconsider the candidate for military and political chiefs in Shannan West Road.

Zhang Yanshang's candidates were all planned, and Du Ya was appointed as the governor of Shannan West Road, and re-merged Fengxing, Xingyuan and Banan.

As for Wei Gao's Fengyi Army and Gao Yue's Baicao Army, Zhang Yanshang did not seem to be in his eyes. He and Wu Mian had 30,000 soldiers to support the king and temporarily recruited 10,000 Liaoman. I believe that these two kids would not do anything to him.

However, the Xishan Army had never been convinced by Zhang Yanshang. His troops and horses, Han Tan and Zhang Feng, immediately sent a secret letter to Wei Gao and Gao Yue, and agreed to cooperate inside and outside, kill Zhang Yanshang halfway, preparing to ask the court to let Cui Ning return to Xichuan again!

"I wish to eliminate the resentment in Wei Chengwu's heart for many years." Gao Yue's words made Wei Gao's brother Wei Ping tremble.

But then Gao Yue bowed his hand and looked straight at Wei Ping, and retelled it clearly, "I hope to eliminate the resentment in Wei Chengwu's heart for many years."

Finally, the sweat beads on Wei Ping's forehead flowed down, and his voice trembled, "What if the court knows?"

"The Xishan Army was dissatisfied with Zhang Yanshang's mutiny, but the court must not lose the wealth of Shu. The Holy Lord will understand everything, and the one who will take responsibility in the end is Zhang Yanshang, not us." Gao Yue did not care about this matter at all.

“In terms of military strength?”
