Xu Ping looked at the old man in front of him and couldn't help but feel a headache. He originally thought that if the battle in Liangzhou was fought well, there would be no war with the Jiaozhi border from then on. As long as it was handled properly, it would take several years to develop in the Liangzhou area and become a whole with Pingxiangdong and Taiping County, and Jiaozhi would not be able to make waves.

After doing this big thing, just wait for the quit. The future here will be dealt with by newly succeeded officials, and his future is in the capital. However, I didn’t expect that Liangzhou is the northern gate of Jiaozhi. Once this gate is controlled by the Song Dynasty, the situation in the entire northern part of Jiaozhi will completely change.

Since the late Five Dynasties, Jiaozhi has been separated from the control of the Central Plains dynasty. Although the dynasty has changed several times, the internal integration has not been completed. In addition to the elite area from Shenglong Prefecture to Chang'an Prefecture, other places are mainly Tuxian County in Tuzhou, especially the areas west of Fuliang River, which are particularly strong.

If Jiaozhi can seize the opportunity to come out of the Central Plains dynasty, then Tuzhou and Tuxian under its rule will naturally come out of Jiaozhi when the situation is favorable.

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

Xu Ping felt a headache because he thought of this.

Although Tangzhou is bounded by Liangzhou, this area cannot be compared with the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains. Prefectures are just a general concept. There are countless forces below and they cannot be restricted by the prefectures. Chen Gongyong led thousands of tribes from Tangzhou to the north without encountering any obstacles. The strong power is just the surface. The real reason is that local forces do not want to intervene at all.

The return of the Chen family to the Song Dynasty was a threat to the Jiaozhi Dynasty, and an opportunity to local forces. The land they had vacant and spheres of influence needed to be filled. Once they succeeded, they would hit the prestige of Shenglong Mansion. All of this was popular among local forces, not to mention that their relationship with Shenglong Mansion was already tense due to the change of Luzhou.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Ping said to Tan Hu: "These are working hard all the way, you can take them down to rest first. Get all the good wine and good dishes, don't neglect it."

After hearing this, Ping Bo hurriedly said, "Shangguan, we are all working hard. Nothing is considered hard work. The most important thing now is to send troops to greet us quickly. There are thousands of people in our tribe, and once they are chased by Jiaozhi pursuers, it is a huge disaster."

"Don't worry, you have already entered Liangzhou when you came, and the people of Jiaozhi dare not be too presumptuous. Liangzhou has many soldiers and horses, so I will naturally send someone to come. Don't worry. Go down and rest."

After hearing Xu Ping's words, Ping Bo was skeptical and refused to leave.

Xu Ping smiled and said, "You are afraid that I will be so careless. You are all from the Central Plains. How could I stand by and say that I will not do such a thing? The face of the Song Dynasty cannot be compromised."

After hearing this, Ping Bo felt relieved. He knew that he was delaying Xu Ping's business here, so he had to take a few young people who followed him to follow Tan Hu.

Seeing Ping Bo and others leaving, Xu Ping said to Sang Yi: "I'd better ask you to go there."

Sang Yi thought for a while before saying, "I'll order all the troops now. But before leaving, I'll ask you a word, if the Jiaozhi soldiers really chase after you, they'll still not fight."

Xu Ping was stunned: "Why do you ask this?"

"If I don't ask clearly how I will deal with it in the last minute, it's different from here in Liangzhou. The Jiaozhi people came to die by themselves. At that time, the two armies would really have to fight."

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head: "You think too much. The Chen family has entered Liangzhou. It is my land of Song Dynasty. You just need to catch the Chen family. If the Jiaozhi people dare to attack them in front of you, you just need to attack the Jiaozhi people, and I will bear everything."

Sang Yi said, "With you, I have a clear mind."

To put it bluntly, Sang Yi was a lower-class military officer. How dare he take charge of such a major court rule? Xu Ping was the powerful magistrate of Yongzhou and the sour sugar business. The Taiping Army's military envoy, who is in charge of military, finance and power, is the real person who can make decisions. If something big happens, others can only say that Xu Ping is inappropriate in handling it, and cannot find any other problems.

Sang Yi said goodbye, Xu Ping thought for a while and called him. He said to him: "There is another thing to remember, north of the Fuliang River, don't worry too much about whether the place belongs to the Song Dynasty or Jiaozhi. To put it bluntly, this place was the territory of the Annan Protectorate during the former Tang Dynasty, and each of them was bound by Tuzhou, belonging to Song Dynasty or Jiaozhi, everything was spoken by fists. If you go this time, if you really encounter Jiaozhi pursuers, it's okay to be tough, but the principle must be controlled. The land where the troops trampled is the land of my Song Dynasty. You must not let Jiaozhi gain the upper hand verbally."

Sang Yi Yingnuo, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Xu Ping meant. After all, he was also a Jinshi in the state, and was not a reckless man who only knew how to fight. Then he said goodbye and left with confidence.

Once Chen Gongyong is accepted, these thousands of people are still a trivial matter. The Tuzhous, which were originally under Jiaozhi, will inevitably learn from both ends of the rat and get along well between Jiaozhi and the Song Dynasty. After all, the two countries do not have a clear border, and their sphere of influence depends entirely on tacit understanding. This tacit understanding has been broken after Xu Ping destroyed Guangyuan Prefecture and occupied Liangzhou.

In the past, the buffer lines of the two countries were Menzhou, Liangzhou, Luzhou and Sumaozhou, and Jiaozhi had the upper hand, so they would invade Luzhou, Shixizhou and Silingzhou in a few years.

Now Xu Ping has cleared this buffer line, and the Song Dynasty forces have come to Liangzhou. If the relationship between the two countries is to stabilize, it is necessary to form a buffer zone again. This new buffer must be in the front lines of Wu'ezhou, Tangzhou and Xin'anzhou in the former Tang Dynasty. Before the stability is achieved, the friction between the two sides will not be less.

After the matter was finished, Xu Ping sat down in his seat and stared at the door in a daze, feeling a severe headache. Now February is already coming, and he is thinking about the matter here in Yongzhou is not as thorough as before. Otherwise, he would not have waited until Chen Gongyong's incident, and only then would he remember to face the counterattack of the Jiaozhi forces, facing the future whether to guard the front line of Liangzhou Valley, or to move forward, and cultivate a few swaying Tuzhou like the previous Liangzhou and Su Maozhou, as a tug-of-war with Jiaozhi.

Xu Ping has been in Yongzhou for six years and is no longer the ignorant appearance of the first arrival of this world. He knows that the aftermath of a war is by no means a simple stopping the two sides, and there is also an indispensable period of open and secret struggles in the period of accumulation of energy.

The world I came to, after the fierce border war, went through another ten years of border tug-of-war, and then both sides realized the situation and had real tranquility on the border.

After pacifying Guangyuanzhou and occupying Liangzhou, Yongzhou will inevitably have the same tug-of-war in the future. In a few months, should we do something or throw all the troubles to latecomers.

There is another chapter to be continued in the evening.
