"Sixth Master, this time the imperial court took the opportunity to pass through Jingnan, and there were nearly a thousand people accompanying them. I wonder if there is any deeper meaning!"
A general with an upright figure, barely 30 years old. However, his piercing eyes and the bearing of his gestures made people feel his demeanor. However, the two of them stood in the riverside restaurant one behind the other, with three meat dishes, one vegetable and a bottle of wine on the table. He cupped his fists and spoke quietly to Gao Baoxu.
Gao Baoxu was wearing Shu brocade casual clothes. He was not yet 30 years old, and because he had been pampered since he was a child, he could show his magnanimity. However, he is not the kind of person who is domineering, so the friendly manner in which he behaves makes him feel a little more noble.
Because of his identity as the younger brother of Nanping King Gao Baorong, he naturally had an extremely superior position. Although their grandfather Gao Jixing had always been attached to the Central Plains imperial court, in this turbulent era, everyone actually understood that Jingnan was actually a small, separatist kingdom.
However, because it is located in Shu, between the Central Plains and Chu, any power can destroy it with a raise of its hands, but no one has done this stupid thing for decades. Because of this kind of military common sense and the principle of strategic buffering, everyone who is a separatist force understands it very well.
Without the buffer of Jingnan, it means directly confronting the opponent. Therefore, no one would be so stupid as to shake the neglected territory of Jingnan and increase their own burden.
This led to the rise of the Gao family in Jingnan. Although the Gao family had a bad reputation in this era, some of their descendants still had a much broader vision than the average person because they were far away from the center of power.
And Gao Baoxu, the sixth among the brothers, is one of the more thoughtful people of this generation! However, because he has his elder brother Gao Baorong as the king, and below him there are outstanding talents like his tenth brother Gao Baoxu, so he usually keeps a relatively low profile in Jingnan.
On this day, I learned that some relatives from the Central Plains were heading to Lingnan. The team actually numbered more than a thousand people, and they were heading south via Jingnan. The whole city was shocked and everyone went to watch the grand event. However, Gao Baoxu brought someone very close to the famous Tongqing Building in Jiangling Prefecture.
At this moment, Gao Baoxu stood on the attic looking out the window with his hands behind his back.
It was drizzling outside, making the surface of the river hazy and unreal. But the rain in summer makes people feel comfortable. Although he didn't know what Gao Baoxu was thinking, his quiet eyes undoubtedly told others that he must be thinking about something.
"Wei Qi, do you believe that the troops of the tiger and wolf troops have to go south when there are clear roads everywhere, so why do they choose to go to a certain place in Jingnan?" Gao Baoxu did not answer the words of the general named Wei Qi, but asked instead got him up. His body remained motionless and his expression was calm, and his tone made people feel no fluctuation at all.
Sure enough, Gao Baoxu's words made him slightly stunned, but seeing Gao Baoxu's calm expression and thinking of Gao Baoxu's past temperament, Wei Qi couldn't help but be more respectful. Because his brother Wei Lin was a famous general in Jingnan, he came into contact with the children of the Gao family very early, and later became friends with the sixth master Gao Baoxu.
In any dynasty and in any era, if a person does not have a circle, it is impossible for him to develop!
Of course, in the circle formed, if you are on the wrong team, or choose the right one. It may be a great success, but it may be ruined. But no matter what the external factors are, the final outcome still depends on you.
This Wei Qi is a person who has his own ideas. He did not approach the prosperous Gao Baoxu, but chose the unknown Gao Baoxu. This in itself shows Wei Qi's unique style. Hearing Gao Baoxu asking himself this question, Wei Qi immediately thought for a moment. Seeing that Gao Baoxu didn't mean to say anything, he couldn't help but tentatively said, "Are they worried about the situation in Langzhou?"
Hearing Wei Qi suddenly say this, Gao Baoxu's heart moved slightly, but he still stood still without moving. His heart suddenly started to tumble, because he really had never thought of what Wei Qi said. Wei Qi may have just made an unintentional guess, but it instantly disturbed Gao Baoxu's mind.
However, Gao Baoxu, who has experienced many situations, although he is not as flexible and cunning as his father and grandfather, he is naturally more calculating than ordinary people under the influence of what he has heard and seen. At this time, Wei Qi suddenly clicked, but suddenly he seemed to think of something.
Looking at Wei Qi quietly, it was obvious that he had not even thought about this, because what he was thinking about just now was another scene. Seeing the trace of surprise in Wei Qi's eyes, Gao Baoxu calmed down instantly: "Your words have reminded a certain family! Alas, I have been living in Jingnan, and I have always thought that the world is so big. Now when I talk about Chu land, Jingnan is not worth mentioning!"
Hearing what Gao Baoxu said, Wei Qi couldn't help but a flash of surprise in his eyes. Obviously Gao Baoxu's words also made Wei Qi slightly dazed, and then he realized that Gao Baoxu had something else to say.
Although I didn't know what Gao Baoxu was thinking, I realized that I had misunderstood Gao Baoxu's meaning. Seeing Gao Baoxu's contemplative state, he stood there without saying anything first. After all, the sensation caused by the arrival of the Central Plains marriage team was a rare event in Jiangling Prefecture in recent years.
It is said that the bride was a woman from the royal family of Wei, who was named a princess by Emperor Guo Rong and married to the Han Kingdom in the south of Lingnan. Although I don’t know what the emperor meant by this, political power has always been about making close contacts with distant enemies. In recent years, the Central Plains has been at war with Shu and Tang. Although Shu seems to have no reaction for the time being, Tang has lost all its territory north of the Yangtze River.
In Wei Qi's view, the south of the Tang State was to the north of Lingnan, and the Central Plains method was nothing more than a tactic to contain the Tang State.
Maybe everyone in the world will think so, after all, this situation is too obvious.
"According to common sense, although Jingnan occupies several states, it has been attached to the Central Plains since the death of the late king. Although Wang Zukao was self-reliant at the time, he always had the instinct to develop outward. So even now, the Central Plains has also regarded certain people as Treat Jingnan as your own vassal town!" Although he didn't mean to sigh, Gao Baoxu's tone undoubtedly answered Wei Qi's words.
"Is the Sixth Master worried about the Central Plains regaining power?" Wei Qi was really shocked now, because there were so many issues involved in this matter, but it had to be worrying. After all, the entire Tang Dynasty north of the Yangtze River returned to the Central Plains, and Jingnan was considered the upper reaches of the river north. This is a serious concern in the Central Plains, and it is very possible if it is taken over by the Central Plains.
