Tian Rentong has been in Kaiyang for a few days. In fact, although Kaiyang is good, it is also the location of Xuanwei Office before. However, in fact, Zunyi Prefecture, which Tian Rentong has been to before, is more suitable as a base camp than Kaiyang. However, Tian Rentong has his plan to stay in Kaiyang, and this plan is also related to the current situation in Guizhou.

In name, Tian Rentong was the Xuanwei Office enthroned by the Qing court, but in fact, he now has only superficial relationships with the Qing court, and he is almost almost going to break up in private.

Since rejecting Bei Henuo's invitation to "convention" in Guiyang, Tian Rentong has actually become independent, but the hat on Xuanweisi on his head is still there, not to mention that this hat is not for nostalgia for the official position of the Qing court. After all, the Qing court is now unable to protect itself. Not to mention a small Xuanweisi, Tian Rentong has no interest even if he gives him the position of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

The reason why he keeps a hat is mainly for bargaining capital. Whether it is for Zhao Hongcan, Gao Jin's two parts, or facing the Ming army who may enter Guizhou, this capital is considered to be a bargaining chip.

At least, he and the Qing court were not very good at being in harmony with each other, and Bei Henuo and others were not stupid enough to kick Tian Ren out of the "revolutionary team" now. It is precisely because of this that he used this identity to deal with all forces. In addition, no matter which side wants to win him over, at least the position of Xuanwei Office must be recognized.

Zhao Hongcan and Gao Jin had agreed to this point, and even the Ming army did not object. Therefore, Tian Rentong had the courage to break up with Bei Henuo, and even directly sold several counties near Zunyi to Zhao Hongcan and Gao Jin.

That's right, it's just selling! Tian Rentong was not only good at everything, but also doing a good job. In this transaction, he not only got a lot of what he wanted, but also won over more toasts and heads who defected to him.

In the eyes of these people, no matter who the emperor is in the court, there is no difference between them. Because their foundation is not in the county, nor in the state, nor in the prefecture. As long as there are local people's sphere of influence, they are the masters of these people. As for cities, except for the special significance of Kaiyang, other places can be given up.

This is somewhat similar to the rural surroundings in later generations. Of course, Tian Rentong's class nature destined him to be a slave owner who rode on the neck of a poor serf and was the object of dictatorship.

These words will be long enough to be discussed, so let’s not mention them for now. Now Tian Rentong is patiently waiting for the final fate of Guizhou in Kaiyang? At the same time, he is thinking about whether to rely on the convenience of Kaiyang's location? He will find ways to gain some benefits for himself in the next few days.

When I was really happy, someone suddenly came to report it? It was said that Guizhou Governor Liu Yinshu came to Kaiyang? When Tian Rentong heard this news, he almost fell off his chair and hurriedly asked Liu Yinshu why he came? Why did he come? How many more people did he bring to Kaiyang?

Although Tian Rentong was proud of his youth these days? In addition, the Qing army was defeated step by step and no longer had the majesty of the previous ones. However, compared with the power of the Qing army, Tian Rentong's power was still far from enough? What's more, his soldiers were still careless in fighting and attacking sneak attacks or doing small-scale battles. If they fought with regular troops, Tian Rentong still knew how much he had.

What's more, Liu Yinshu was the governor of Guizhou for many years and was very famous in Guizhou? In addition, Tian Rentong refused to go to Guiyang several times before? So when he heard that Liu Yinshu came to Kaiyang, his first reaction was that Liu Yinshu led his troops to fight.

Why did Liu Yinshu send troops so quickly? And he had already arrived outside Kaiyang City? He had no news. How could this be possible? For a moment, Tian Rentong was so scared that he even asked if he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that Liu Yinshu had not yet entered the city and ran away?

Before he could figure out whether to run or not, the head of the report told him gaspingly? Liu Yinshu came to "work the army", and there were only a hundred people in his group? There were only seventy or eighty personal guards among them.

Hearing this, Tian Rentong's heart fell down. At the same time, anger surged from his heart. He raised his head at this guy and kicked him, scolding the other party why he didn't finish his words in one breath? This scared his heart so much that he almost made his escape act that made him ashamed.

"Sir? Along the way? I don't have to take a few breaths." The head man who reported the news rubbed his kicked thigh and explained aggrievedly.

"You bastard!" Tian Rentong glared at him, and was about to curse again but asked in another sentence: "Have Liu Yinshu entered the city?"

"Sir, I haven't entered the city yet. My brother outside came back to report it quickly. But calculating the time, it's almost time for the city gate. What should I do now? "

"Let me think about it... Let me think about it first..." Liu Yinshu stood up and hesitatedly wandering around the hall, his face gloomy and unstable.

To be honest, he didn't want to see Liu Yinshu. He had refused to go to Guiyang before, let alone seeing Liu Yinshu again? But it is not appropriate to not see him, unless Tian Rentong turns against the Qing court now. If this is not the case, as the governor, Liu Yinshu, came, but his Xuanweisi Department, avoided him, was really unreasonable.

What's more, Liu Yinshu's identity is different. Not only is he the identity of governor, but he is also Tian Rentong's elder. As a junior, is there any reason why the elders are missing?

So after thinking about it, Tian Rentong decided that no matter what, he still had to live up to his face, so Liu Yinshu had to meet him, not only to meet him, but also to greet him in person. Anyway, Kaiyang is his territory, so what can Liu Yinshu send you with dozens of personal guards? You must know that the entire Kaiyang City is in the hands of him, Tian Rentong, is he still afraid of an old man?

At this point, Tian Rentong ordered preparations, then changed into a dress, put on the official uniform of Xuanweisi, and took a dozen chieftains and head men toward the city gate. After a while, they arrived at the city gate, they saw a group of people coming from the mountain road from afar. The dozens of people in front of them each held a full ceremonial guard of governors, and some people were playing and playing, gradually moving in the music.

Seeing the movement, Tian Rentong suddenly stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance. He saw an old man in a real official uniform sitting in the middle of the team shaking a little as he walked, but he looked leisurely and contented. It seemed that this was Liu Yinshu.

Seeing this, Tian Rentong thought about it and greeted the people around him. He took the toast and the head man and others to meet him. After walking a hundred steps away, he could finally see the face clearly. It was true that Liu Yinshu was sitting on the sedan chair.
