Although he was implicated by Sun Xiurong, Yu Wenjing's new title, Deputy Protector of Annan Protectorate, helped him. For Yu Wenjing, from an outsider's perspective, he was still promoted from an outsider's perspective.

Before going south to take office, Yu Wenjing learned about the result of the war in Tanshihuaitai. It has been seven years since he met Sun Xiurong in the Paoling Guard. He has also been in his early twenties and has become an official over thirty years old and has been tested in the officialdom.

So, he made a very difficult decision in life.

He asked Sun Xiurong to set up a stronghold in Tanzhou, and Zhang Han from the Ju Trading Company and a group of friends left Tanzhou and went to Guizhou.

Although Zhang Han works for Sun Xiurong, he is behind the Ju business, which is surrounded by Gao Lishi, Yu Chaoen and a group of high-ranking officials and noble relatives. You can't say anything on the surface.

After moving to Guizhou, the Ju family's trading company did not go to Guizhou Prefecture City and Huairong County (later Huaian County), where the Qingyi Army envoys were located, but went directly to the Shannan Quechang where Zhangjiakou was located in later generations.

With the arrival of Ju's business, the once deserted Shannan Quochang once again flourished.

However, Wu Chengen, the governor of Guizhou and the envoy of the Qingyi Army who knew Zhang Han's background, did not let him go so easily. As Wu Chengen, the most effective way to deal with the Xi people before An Lushan served as the governor of Fan Yang, the Wu Chengen brothers, for the main tribe of the Yuhe tribe on the border of Guizhou, the "major plan" of the Qie tribe to capture the life of the Qie tribe was "revived" as An Lushan re-emerged the "climax" of the Yingzhou border.

At this time, the Wu Chengen brothers did not learn about the fact that the Huo He tribe was in the country. The two Xi tribes of Qige tribes had actually become part of the Wu tribe, and they thought they were all Xi tribes.

Seeing An Lushan, Shi Siming obtained the Jiedushi through capturing the students. Everyone knew that the military commander was high, and it was very likely that he would also serve as the Jiedushi of Fanyang. How could the Wu Chengen brothers who also started their careers by capturing the students not be jealous and not follow the example?

When Zhang Han made the Shannan Quopo again prosper, Wu Chengen did not intervene at the beginning and refused to refuse 20% of the shares offered by Zhang Han.

In April of the fourth year of Tianbao, it was already the end of winter for the Shanbei Quechang, and many herders came there to wait for Guizhou merchants to come to trade.

After a long winter, there have been a large shortage of iron pots, salt, grain, needles, thread and brains for herds. The fur they collected throughout the winter is also urgently needed to take action. Otherwise, in the spring and summer, the fur will need to be processed to ensure that it does not rot.

April 18th was the first time that Shanbei Quechang opened its port after half a year of winter, attracting a large number of herdsmen.

After actually accepting this scene, the Sacred Ye Jun actually attracted the herdsmen who were originally trading near Datong and Yingzhou due to proper management, so this day became a grand festival.

With such a vast distance, it is naturally impossible for every herder to be qualified and able to come to trade. At least the little nobles in the tribe who have the position of centurion or above.

It has been two years since the Sail Ye Jun intervened in this tentative site, and no major incident has happened. It has made herders from hundreds of miles away come to trade with confidence.

Since it was the first trading day after the long winter, the market decided to trade for ten consecutive days to facilitate the various ministries that came from afar.

The Tang army on the border was naturally aware of the capture of the Tang army, and the Renyong, who was in charge of the verdict. In order to maintain public order, the Ye army also arranged a camp of 300 people here, which of course was carried out under the name of the main tribe of the sacrificial tribe.

On the third day of the transaction, the number of herders who came to Shanbei Quechang reached the largest number, with as many as a thousand households, which made the reception capacity of Quechang a little difficult.

Shanbei Quechang has developed into a large town with a north-south post road as a street, with more than 100 front shops and back yard shops on both sides. In addition to having no city walls, it is actually larger than a county town in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to being able to live in the backyard of each store, it is also a large warehouse with strong strength and several entry points.

In addition to shops selling and purchasing goods, there are naturally many inns, taverns, etc. that are specifically designed for dealing with customers. If there are shops on both sides of the streets in the north and south, then the streets in the east and west are all places like this.

In addition to merchants with storefronts, there are also many merchants who go north to purchase fur. They also need accommodation, food and entertainment. Most of them are on the East and West Streets.

Thousands of herders and the big carts, camels, pack horses, green and strong people who followed them, actually had at least ten people in each household. There were hundreds of merchants coming from the south, and there were also big carts, men and others following them. Although the war in the north had just come to an end, the good reputation of the Shanbei Quechang still allowed these people to arrive a few days in advance.

Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun successfully arrived in Guizhou and found a guard's job in a large business. Of course, it was also their "job" to observe the situation outside the border.

This was the first time they came to Shanbeichang with the business. As soon as they arrived here, Nan Jiyun was not only shocked.

"Brother Lei, is this still the grassland outside the border? If the city wall is added, it may not be smaller than that of Guizhou Prefecture."

Lei Wanchun nodded, "I heard that this was originally the pasture of the main tribe of the Xi people, one of the five tribes of the Xi people. Later, it was annexed by another tribe of the Shishi Qie tribe. After the Qie tribe annexed the main tribe of the Xie tribe, the court did not cancel the verdict. Instead, it attracted merchants in the Central Plains, mainly Hebei Road to set up shops and trade. Merchants only paid a little property to the tribe every year. Therefore, there are so many merchants who come here to trade."

Nan Jiyun was still a little confused, "Brother Lei, that's not just that."

A cold look flashed in Lei Wanchun's eyes, "Originally, there were large-scale courts in Yingzhou in Datong, but the governments there tried their best to exploit merchants and herdsmen who came to trade, especially herdsmen who risked being caught. All those who dared to come to trade were large chiefs in the tribe, and there were also as many as one or two hundred and as few as dozens of cavalry. If they were alone, they would probably be captured by the captured generals."

"And here is different. Originally, the tentative market was also located in the Datang area of ​​Shannan, but it also withered very much for the same reason. After moving to Shanbei, it not only made the place prosperous, but also attracted many herdsmen near Datong and Yingzhou to come to trade, so there was such a grand occasion."

Nan Jiyun nodded, he looked around and thought to himself: "If the Wu brothers from Guizhou lead troops to capture the life, they can not only capture a large number of Dingkou, but also rob a lot of property..."

As if there was a sense, the two were walking on the street in boredom. Suddenly a large group of people ran over in front of them. The people ran and shouted, "Tang Jun is here to catch his birth!"

When they heard this, the pedestrians on the street dodged all at once, and most of them avoided the store opened by merchants. The herdsmen who came to trade had nowhere to go and had to drive the livestock north desperately.

However, they were in vain. Not long after, a group of people ran away from the north, shouting the same slogan.

Seeing this, Nan Jiyun ran away. Lei Wanchun quickly grabbed him, "We are all Tang people. When the Tang army came, they were just to catch the lives and capture these herdsmen. They would not care about us..."

Although Nan Jiyun was a little nervous, he still believed Lei Wanchun's words and stood under a shop to watch. He was from Henan Province. Although he had heard of catching a life, he didn't know what it was. He would naturally not let it go if he had the opportunity to witness it with his own eyes.

"rumble......"

It seems that there are so many Tang troops coming this time, and they are all cavalrymen. They came from the entrance to the four entrances of the southeast, west and northeast of the Quarter. When they came over, the movements of the war horses stepping on the ground were clearly clear.

The team of cavalry coming from the south head was led by a short and thick man, wearing a shining mountain armor, shouting at the merchants on both sides: "Everything comes out! If you are a little later, you will set fire!"

As soon as these words came out, all the business owners or shopkeepers came out in a hurry. At this time, a horse flew from the north, east and west. When they rushed to the short and thick man, they shouted: "Report to the deputy envoy, the entrance and exit have been sealed! The merchants have come out, and the shepherds are all on the street."

(Shepherd, at this time, the Tang people's disdain for herders from various tribes in the border areas was actually the "life" that caught the life)

The short and thick man nodded, "Start the interrogation immediately, and meet here in half an hour..."

It turned out that this person was Wu Chengyan, the deputy envoy of the Qingyi Army in Guizhou. His so-called interrogation was actually to interrogate the identity of the herdsmen. After returning to Guizhou, he would report it to the Jiedushi Mansion. As for interrogating the merchants, he naturally had a lot of money and the amount of ditty, and most of them would have to blackmail them.

The people were about to leave, and several cavalry flew from a distance. The leader was Su Xijie, the captain of Renyongdu, who was in charge of the vassal field under the name of the main tribe of the sacred tribe.

As the leader of the Ye Jun Renyongdu, Su Xijie naturally had suspicions inside and outside Guizhou. He knew about Wu Chengyan's dispatch of a large army to come here a few days ago. However, this time Wu Chengyan brought three thousand cavalry, which was not something that the three hundred Ye Jun left here could deal with, so he reported to Sun Xiurong 700 miles away.

As such an important stronghold, Sun Xiurong naturally set up a strict station system from here to Yuyuling. The news can be transmitted to Yuyuling one day and one night, but it is one thing to spread, and it is another thing to gather a large army to rescue it.

Su Xijie could mobilize the herdsmen of the main tribe of the Yuhe tribe to come to rescue him, but unfortunately, it would be better than the Thunder Ye Army to move south from Yuyuling to mobilize thousands of herdsmen within a radius of hundreds of miles. Therefore, he could only let Yang Shouzhong, the troops of the hinterland deed of Yanshan Mountain, come forward two hundred miles away.

As the co-head of the two tribes, Yang Shouzhong still has a thousand standing troops under his command. If he wants to defeat the three thousand Tang cavalry, it is possible to delay their actions.

Therefore, all the pressure fell on Su Xijie.

Su Xijie immediately bowed his fists and said, "I don't know which general is in front of me? The Shanbei Quechang in the headquarters was agreed to by the court. There are still a lot of taxes to be provided to the Qingyi Army every year. Why do they bring a large group of people here?"

In fact, most of the people who can come to the Shanbei Quechang to set up a store have a connection with the Wu brothers. They either have fixed filial piety every year or have a dry share offering. The Wu brothers have made a lot of money, but money is only one aspect. For the Wu brothers who are almost the same age as An Lushan, it is the most important thing to ascend to the high position of the Jiedushi as soon as possible.

Now that the former governor Pei Kuan was transferred to the capital to serve as the Minister of Revenue, and An Lushan did not serve as the deputy minister, the opportunity for the Wu brothers came.

This is because Guizhou is the only important place under the command of the Fanyang Jiedushi, which is located outside the inner wall, with 10,000 elite troops. If we want to select the candidate for the Fanyang Jiedushi, the Qingyi Army's military envoy is one of the natural candidates, and the ranking is only under the command of the Youzhou Metropolitan Army, and above the powerful army envoy of Tanzhou (the subordinate army of 10,000) and the Jingsai Army in Jizhou (the subordinate army of 10,000).
