Therefore, it is easy to occupy Yanyun County, but it is difficult to completely annihilate the tribes in Northern Xinjiang. The depth of the grassland is endless, and their nomadic tribe is like a fish in water. How can they occupy the entire Northern Xinjiang?
This requires at least hundreds of thousands of troops, but the problem is that it is useless to occupy it. There is nothing on the grass. Hundreds of thousands... Even if hundreds of thousands of soldiers are stationed, it will take a year just to supply supplies. How much grain?
Moreover, after wiping out the tribes in the northern Xinjiang, they will have to face the powerful Rus Kingdom directly. Their queen Angelina is not a freeloader, so naturally she will not sit back and watch his troops approach the border and ignore them, and will definitely send troops to intervene. , if they join forces with Wanyan Pingqiu and the others... the consequences will be serious.
The second reason is the Japanese. The little devils will definitely not send troops to help in vain. After the northern border is wiped out, they will definitely make all kinds of excessive demands.
First of all, Shunfeng City and Jinsha City will definitely fall into their hands. Our Great Zhou navy is already weak, and now we don’t even have control of the sea...
Even if the bears are driven away from the front and the wolves are lured into the house behind, the situation in the north will still be unstable, at least not as stable as it is now.
The key person is Xiao Chen.
As long as this guy is here, the situation in the north will not be chaotic.
With him here, at least Wanyan Pingqiu will not pose a threat going south. Xiao Chen should be able to stop him. If Wanyan Pingqiu does not attack Yanyun County, he will attack Gao Juli. After all, he is originally targeting the Japanese. .
Gao Juli was originally the territory of the Japanese, so if they fought, they would not have much to do with me, Dazhou.
With Xiao Chen here, the Japanese could not occupy an inch of Yanyun County's land. At least in theory, Yanyun County still existed completely on the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
To be honest, Yanyun County has contributed a lot to the imperial court in recent years. How much money, food, supplies, and horses have been provided?
Without the strong support of Yanyun County, Li Feng's last battle in Minzhou might not have gone so smoothly...
The key problem is that Xiao Chen is so capable, and Li Wanjiang always feels that he cannot completely control him.
As Yanyun County becomes more and more powerful, this kid becomes more and more difficult to control.
Two sons, Li Shi and Li Feng, and several close ministers, including Chen Wenqi, Wang Anbang, Lu Jing, and Ma Wuming... all believed that Yanyun County would eventually be defeated, and that Xiao Chen would probably become the King of Yanyun!
In fact, as long as Xiao Chen is obedient and loyal to him like Gong Shouli, it won't matter even if he is made the King of Yanyun. The problem is that he can't hold him as the governor, so if he becomes the king, why can't he take off from the same place?
The main reason is that Yanyun County cannot do without him now.
Both Li Shi and Li Feng wanted Yanyun County, and Li Shi directly revealed to Li Wanjiang his intention to go to Yanyun County and become king.
This made Li Wanjiang very embarrassed. If he killed or drove away Xiao Chen and took back the management rights of Yanyun County, which son would he give it to?
It would be inappropriate to give either one, and it would also make the other very dissatisfied.
Since the death of Prince Li Xian, the two sons have wanted to be the crown prince. Now they are in the same situation, and he can't add fuel to the fire.
To sum up, for the sake of overall stability, Yanyun County may have to be handed over to Xiao Chen.
But there is still a question, that is, what is the relationship between Xiao Chen and the Japanese?
He was the first to propose cooperation with the Japanese! Moreover, they have had large-scale trade transactions with Japan a long time ago, and they also have a relationship of interest with each other.
Although the Japanese people have repeatedly suggested getting rid of Xiao Chen, how do you know that this is not a deception made by the Japanese people? The little devils are cunning and cunning, so naturally you can't believe everything they say...
Li Wanjiang was thinking about Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen was thinking about Murong and Danqiu. He had been back for so long, and he really wanted to see her, but now that he was a man, he couldn't just go in and out of the harem.
In fact, it was not impossible to go if he wanted to find an excuse to go, but he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to Danqiu. After all, his transformation from a eunuch to a man had attracted a lot of people's attention, and there were a lot of rumors, and he also I had to avoid suspicion for a while.
Xiao Chen came back early that day and discussed with Fatty whether we should go out to find a place to have a meal in the evening.
Eating at home was boring, a bunch of kids went out to play, and Xiao Yu didn't stay home every day. It was just the two of them who stared at each other but were bored.
Of course, there are a lot of invitations sent every day, but Xiao Chen is still an imperial envoy, and he cannot go to banquets casually. He should be reckless when he should be reckless, and be cautious when he should be cautious.
"Go to Yanchun Tower to drink wine!" Fatty suggested, "I haven't had time to go since you said it last time... Mainly because it's inconvenient to bring a few small children."
"That's okay." Xiao Chen happily agreed, "But we have to change clothes. After all, I am an imperial envoy, and you have also been the director of Tai Hospital. It's easy to talk about our visit to a brothel now. It doesn’t sound good.”
Ever since he became a 'man', Xiao Chen was even cautious about visiting brothels.
The two brothers changed their clothes happily, and were about to sneak out of the back door to look for flowers and flowers, when suddenly a brother came to report that there was a young master who wanted to see him.
Originally we said, boss, you don't see visitors, but that guy just knelt at the door, kowtowed and refused to leave...
"Who is it?" Xiao Chen took the name card and glanced at it, "Qian Ruhai, the youngest son of Qian Ruhai, the magistrate of Qingyang Prefecture in Jiangdong County, Qian Zhenbai?"
"Who?" The fat man grabbed the name card and laughed at that moment, "Damn it, it's really that kid. This is not like enemies never get together!"
"Why do you still know him?" Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Not only do we know each other, we also had a fight with him when we were in Changshan. It's like we don't know each other without fighting." The fat man smiled and recounted the encounter with Qian Zhen at that time.
"I've met Qian Ruhai before. He's quite mature and serious. Why did he give birth to such a dandy?" Xiao Chen didn't recognize Qian Zhen, but he recognized his father Qian Ruhai. It seemed that he was the same person he was when he invited Lin Dongyang to dinner last time. Brought... Later I went back to Yanyun County, and he sent people to give gifts during every festival, which was a bit of a friendship.
He has always only given gifts and said hello, and has never asked me about anything. Now that his son has come to ask for a meeting, and he can't kneel down, something must have happened. It would be embarrassing not to see him.
Qian Zhen is no longer as arrogant and high-spirited as he was in Changshan. Instead, he is disheveled and pale. He trots in like a bereaved dog. Without saying a word, he kowtows to Xiao Chen with a bang!
"Brother Qian Shi, there is no need to pay such a big gift, just get up and talk." Xiao Chen said.
"Sir, please save my father's life. My father..." Qian Zhen raised his head and caught a glimpse of the fat man who was smiling but not smiling. He was immediately stunned.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Qian Zhenqian? Why are you still not convinced when I beat you last time? Are you here to settle a score with me?" the fat man said with a smile.
"Student, I..." Qian Zhen was already stunned and had not peeed in fear, which meant that he was still a man. There were not many young men who dared to fight with the fat man and beat him away.
