That night, the guests from the capital naturally feasted their eyes and had a happy night. However, Zan Po, who was traveling with him, did not have such interest. He finally returned to Longshang and rested for two hours in Shanzhou Prefecture. Before the sky was dawn, he had already stood up and asked the provincial officials to inform Guo Yuanzhen.

After rushing for most of the day, he was joking with his colleagues in Beijing until the sky was approaching. Guo Yuanzhen was awakened after just a moment of slept lightly, and his mood was naturally not good. However, he did not dare to neglect his serious matters. He barely stood up with his sore waist, and did not forget to wake up Lu Jingchu and a few guys.

After another half an hour, several people gathered in the palace hall of the prefecture. Seeing Lu Jingchu and his friends pale faces, their eyes were bloodshot, and they were shaking when they walked. It was not like they were looking for fun in the middle of the night, but were ravaged to the sky. Guo Yuanzhen was naturally disdainful and kept making fun of him. He might not be in good condition, but he had developed his endurance.

"Although the style of the border is good, it just makes people feel strong!"

After being teased by Guo Yuanzhen, Lu Jingchu naturally looked shy, and he was completely disgusted with the heroic spirit of picking ten last night. After making a little self-deprecating, he smiled and whispered a few times. After hearing this, Guo Yuanzhen looked at him with a look full of contempt.

After making a short talk in the afternoon, everyone started to have a meal. While eating breakfast, Lu Jingchu and others conveyed the details of the imperial court's plan for Longbian to Guo Yuanzhen.

As Tubo Zanpu led his army eastward, the situation in Qinghai became extremely tense. Although the Tang Dynasty was not at the core of the conflict, the hope for this upcoming conflict was even greater than that of the two sides.

On the diplomatic level, the court has cut off diplomatic relations with Tubo and no longer engages in active dialogue. However, it is much more friendly to the Gar family and has given various practical support.

However, in terms of actual military and political arrangements, we naturally cannot adhere to an overly simple and direct attitude. It should be noted that the consensus reached by the court and the Gar family was only followed by Zanpo on the Haixi side, and what attitude was Qinling, the real person of the Gar family, was still worth pondering.

Although the Gar family is currently in poverty, Qinling is still a nominal argument in Tubo after all, and is full of war skills. He has never concealed the malice of the Tang Dynasty in the past. At present, Zanpu's eastward advance has indeed brought great pressure to the survival of the Gar family. In fact, Qinling would choose to break through the situation and break through, and it is still unknown how much influence Zanpo can exert on this brother.

Therefore, the imperial court's instructions on military and political officials in Longbian were not rigid. On the premise of ensuring the connection between the Gar family to fight against Tubo, the specific operating methods still need to be operated according to the actual situation. To put it more bluntly, that is, even if you want to interact with the Gar family to a certain extent, you must hold the knife tightly in your hands. If things are necessary, you don't have to show mercy at all.

Such complex instructions are a bit difficult for ordinary people to understand, but Guo Yuanzhen is quite as comfortable as a fish in water in this intrigue environment. In addition, as a confidant of the saint's residence, he has a full understanding of the saint's true intentions, so Lu Jingchu does not need to make detailed explanations, and he already has a very specific understanding in his heart.

After a brief breakfast, several people went out of the cafeteria to meet Zan Po. Zan Po had already finished packing and asked to leave immediately as soon as they met. I really didn't want to delay any time.

The core of the cooperation between the Gar family and the Tang Dynasty this time is the transaction of goods, and the Tang Dynasty provides materials to alleviate the exhaustion of various materials of the Gar family. Shanzhou is the main place for shipment of goods, and most of the goods are now concentrated here.

This time the trade was vigorously promoted by Zanpo. In order to ensure that it can proceed smoothly, he even took action to intercept and kill the envoys in the country. It was a good intention. Therefore, he was naturally extremely concerned about this. Of course, he had to carefully examine it before returning to Qinghai.

Guo Yuanzhen was completely unlucky about this and personally accompanied Zanpo to wander around the warehouses and warehouses in the realm, allowing Zanpo to conduct a detailed inspection.

Among them, Yu Heyuan City was responsible for guarding the warehouse. The chief of the Hu people, named Ju Gui. When he saw Guo Yuanzhen leading the crowd, he rushed to meet him. However, after seeing Zan Po in the team, he couldn't help but look a little scared and embarrassed.

After seeing the other person's appearance, Zan Po also frowned slightly and glanced at Guo Yuanzhen with some displeasure. This Hu Qiaogui is not another person. It was the Haixi vanguard general who was instigated by Guo Yuanzhen in front of Moli's post a few years ago when Qinling intended to invade the Nine Curves of the Yellow River. Now that old friends meet, there is no joy.

Zan Po didn't know if Guo Yuanzhen deliberately made this arrangement. After glanced at the Hu Qiaogui, he didn't say anything. Instead, he entered the warehouse to inspect the goods, and he was more serious than elsewhere.

Guo Yuanzhen saw this scene and signaled Hu Qiaogui to follow him, and said seriously: "You know that the storage of goods on this side is important. If there are any mistakes in the position, not only the national law will not be able to withstand, but the foreign guests will not spare you lightly!"

After hearing this, Ju Gui nodded repeatedly, but when he saw Zan Po's careful test, he looked suspicious and said with grievance: "The past is forced to make a living, and he has to act in a rebellious way. But now, as a minister of the Tang Dynasty, the monarch of the government is good at governing and admiring, but he has a comprehensive duty and a broad road of life. He does not need to fight for his life. How dare he be stubborn and corrupt his future..."

In other words, your Gar family is already a thing of the past for me. I am now engaging in the new master. I don’t know how comfortable my life is, so I won’t continue to get entangled with you again.

When Zan Po heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable. It was obviously your old boy who betrayed me, but why did I say this like a scumbag and live with me and make you feel wronged?

Guo Yuanzhen laughed and said with a smile: "The Tang family has promoted governance and has extensive laws and regulations, so it can tolerate all races. No matter whether it is Chinese or foreigners, they can live in this system. The strong will not lose their will and will be able to maintain their lives. If there are ugly people who hate the peace of the people and only commit power to abuse, how can they be worthy of others and enjoy the full worship of the world? If politics cannot be practiced in morality and cannot be kept in the true heart, even if it is rampant for a while, the world will have its own power to punish it!"

After hearing this, Hu Qiaogui nodded repeatedly, and there was no need to think about where these words meant. In short, it was extremely fragrant when Guo Fujun farted.

Zan Po's face became a little ugly, but before the person could speak, Guo Yuanzhen continued, "Therefore, the general should not worry too much about the present. Although the foreign lord is narrow and difficult to tolerate, there is a saint in the world who is willing to give life. However, he can follow the way and will not reject the moral principles. Only in this way can he be worthy of the greatness of obeying the heavens and teaching the decree.

It is bitter, salty and salty, and it has sweet springs to quench thirst. The sandy moors are deserted, but the plants and trees grow on the ridges. My parents gave me my life, so naturally it was not for me to come to the world to suffer or be trapped for a while. But looking far away, this body is still in the vast world! The reason why the roads are so popular is that they can be left or right. The best foolish plan in the world is to force themselves to have no way out.

Kun fish was born in the mud pond by mistake. Even if they were kind-hearted, they were incompatible. They had no guilt for each other. They were just making a fortune and wanted to make a life-and-death battle. Those who were short-sighted did not know that there was a vast ocean in the world, but those who were knowledgeable could turn into a roc and go, swaying thousands of miles!"

Even though Zan Po was determined, he had to admit that Guo Yuanzhen's words were so fascinating that he couldn't help but think a lot for a while.

But the most practical problem now is to solve the current predicament, so Zanpo sighed again, put away his thoughts, and continued to inspect the goods in the warehouse.

After walking down several warehouses, it was already afternoon. At this time, everyone was already at the Chiling Pass. In the early years, Chiling was the front line of the Tang and Tibet confrontation, but now it has almost all the barriers here owned by the Tang and Datang and built into a solid Longyou defense line.

The group stayed in the Heyuan camp, waiting for troops to be sent to the west of Chiling to guide them. While waiting, Guo Yuanzhen had a detailed discussion with Zanpo on the delivery steps of the goods, and also involved some topics of setting up a discussion site in Qinghai.

Zanpo entered the Tang Dynasty this time, and the transaction volume reached was quite large. After some twists and turns, the court increased some of the lost goods. These increased commercial goods did not require the Gar family to provide commodity exchange, but were paid as rent for the deliberation.

Previously in Chang'an, there were four courts proposed by the imperial court, one was Fulong Island located in Qinghai Lake, and the other was Moliyi in Haidong. These two locations are currently under the control of the Tang Dynasty, so there is naturally no doubt. In the West, if they make a request to the Tang Dynasty in the name of commerce, they can be allowed to pass through two places.

As for the other two places, one is the Shannan Thunderbo Valley that made the Tang Dynasty quite resentful, and the other is the Jiyu City on the northern foot of Jishi Mountain where the Tubo Zanpu is currently stationed. The Caibo Valley is an important channel connecting all parties in the central part of Qinghai. The Caibo Valley is set up here, and Zanpo has no objection. When he took the initiative to make relevant requests, he had already planned to use the Caibo Valley as a bargaining chip.

However, Jiyu City on the northern foot of Jishi Mountain makes people feel a little embarrassed. Jiyu City itself is an important channel for returning to Tubo from Qinghai. Its location is rich in minerals and is close to an important resource source, which is the salt pond. The salt pond there is also an important means for the Gar family to control Qinghai.

In addition to these original meanings, more important point is that Jiyu City is not under the control of the Gar family. Zanpu led his army to station there. If he learned that this city was actually rented by the Gar family to build a tentative site, it would be really tolerant, and who would not be able to bear it.

Of course, Zanpo also understood that even though the Tang Dynasty knew that the situation in Qinghai changed, it still proposed to set up a scene in Jiyu City. Its original intention was either to carry out commerce or to humiliate Zanpu, intensify conflicts, and find a reason for himself to interfere in Qinghai.

Although the related topic was already on his own, he did not dare to agree to the Tang Dynasty's request to set up a court in Jiyu City without asking for instructions. Therefore, after some discussion, he finally decided to choose the fourth court in Xingsuchuan, which is more southerly.

Xingsuchuan is geographically closer to those salt lakes in Qinghai, and there are channels to communicate in the nine curves of the Yellow River. Although there are many salt-producing areas in the Tang Dynasty, there are some shortcomings in Longbian. With the increasing number of permanent residents in Qinghai, the transportation costs in the middle of the country have surged, and it is also necessary to master a stable salt production area in the local area.

Moreover, the direction of Xingsuchuan is not close to Jiyu City, the focus of the conflict. Even if the Gar family really fights with the middle school, they can continue to trade with the Tang Dynasty through Xingsuchuan and obtain material supplements.

After some discussion, the Tang Dynasty court finally agreed to the proposal of changing its location. Xingsu River is located at the source of the Yellow River, and is already on the west side of Jishi Mountain. It is thousands of miles away from Haidong, the core area of ​​the Tang Dynasty's military arrangement, and it is difficult to carry out actual military possession.

However, the Tang Dynasty could still follow the river channel and enter the other side from the Nine Curves of the Yellow River. In the early Tang Dynasty, when the battle of attacking Tuyuhun was attacked, the Tang army of Hou Junji followed this route and penetrated directly into the heart of Tuyuhun, and defeated Tuyuhun's troops. Therefore, when necessary, Xingsuchuan was also a military choice that the Tang army stationed at the Nine Curves of the Yellow River could be used.

Moreover, Xingsuchuan is very close to Xikang State. Previously, Tubo Zanpu sent troops to Xikang without authorization without the permission of the Tang Dynasty, which has exposed that the military arrangements carried out by the Tang Dynasty in western Sichuan and Longnan were not enough to give Tubo an actual deterrence, so naturally, we must continue to increase our efforts.

Even if military needs are not considered, when the influence of the Tang Dynasty trade spreads across Xingsuchuan, it will undoubtedly build a more comprehensive and solid trade network between the Tang and the Tibet. Compared with Jiyu City, which focuses on the moment, Xingsuchuan is undoubtedly a more long-term strategic business goal.

Zan Po's initiative to propose Xingsuchuan as a place to set up a venue also reflects the pessimism in his bones. He no longer thinks that the Gar family can continue to control such a long time, so he simply abandoned it as a supplement to the current monetization.

Regarding the matter of setting up a court in Xingsuchuan, the court had instructed Cao Renshi from Longnan and Xue Ne, who was in charge of the nine curves of the Yellow River, to start the arrangement. The other three places located around Qinghai were naturally handed over to the military and political officials of this side.

Although the court outlined a large framework, whether the field can be truly established and played a role still depends on the efforts of the officials of this side. Now the military chief of Haidong is Fu Meng Lingqing. Apart from the military adjustment of the dispatch of personnel, he almost does not care about foreign affairs, so this matter naturally fell on Guo Yuanzhen.

If you have a choice, Zan Po really doesn't want to deal with Guo Yuanzhen. Such a person is so scheming. Even though he knows that this matter is beneficial to you, he always feels that the other party will definitely plant nails in it.

Guo Yuanzhen did not disappoint Zanpo this time. After understanding the intentions of the court, he suggested: "Mo Li's post station is under military control, and he still needs to discuss it with the Haidong General. As for the thirst valley, both sides need to conduct careful investigations on the other side. However, the island site can be constructed immediately. Including the material transportation here, it can be transported through Qinghai boats. After all, the carriages and horses in Shanzhou are in a hurry. If you want to transport all the materials out, it will be difficult to achieve in less than two or three months. Now Qinghai has been frozen for more than a month. As long as you set up a dock in Haixi to moor boats, you can be transported by navigation months ago..."

When Zan Po heard this, she couldn't help but frowned slightly. The carriages and horses in Shanzhou were in a hurry? Do you think I'm blind and can't see the team of carriages and horses that completely cover the roads inside and outside the city? You open your mouth and silly, where is your conscience?

Zan Po naturally didn't know where Guo Yuanzhen's conscience was, but he knew what the other party's sinister idea was to make this plan. Although Qinghai is between the two forces, when it comes to advantages, the Tang Dynasty is better. The reason is very simple. Haixi has no ships, and there is even no technology to build ships.

Once the dock is built in the western part of Haixi, the ships in Haidong can directly dock. As for what is transported on the boat, there is no guarantee. If the dock is established, it may have been sleeping well in Fuqi City at night, and the Tang army has arrived outside the city, which is no different from opening the door to inviting thieves.

But now Guo Yuanzhen threatens the efficiency of goods transportation directly, and there are not many choices for Zanpo to make. Either go back and set up the dock obediently, or give up this batch of precious supplies. In the face of weakness, people often seem clumsy in their words and deeds. This may not be because they are stupid, but because there are not many choices available for reality.

In order to ensure that this trade can continue, Zan Po has paid so much, and he has no turning back. However, the difficulties caused by the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty have followed one after another, tempting him step by step. If he rejected Guo Yuanzhen's proposal at this moment, then all the previous efforts and concessions will undoubtedly become a joke!

So Zanpo could only agree to Guo Yuanzhen's request in the end, saying that he would build a dock immediately after returning to Haixi.

The only thing he can comfort himself is that the ice age in Qinghai is coming, and even if the wharf is built, the time it can be used is limited. As long as this batch of materials is received, the long ice age will not pose any threat.

By the time the climate turns warmer and freezing next year, the situation will inevitably develop further. At that time, whether the dock will continue to be retained or demolished directly can be calmly discussed.

After the discussion of this issue was completed, the people from Haidong had arrived. Guo Yuanzhen sent Zan Po to Chiling Pass and stopped and did not continue to follow. After returning to Heyuan, he called Hu Qiaogui and said with a smile: "Haixi is about to build a wharf, and the mountain is no longer an obstacle. At that time, I will arrange for you to return to Haixi, and make some contact with the remaining personnel of the other side. Once it is opened, I will immediately fight for the crossing of the east. Even if you carry the board into the sea, there will be boats and boats in the sea to respond, which is better than staying in Haixi and sinking with the Gar family.

What is the future for the future? All of this is the result. Because you are listed in my merit book, I let you participate in this plan. My husband is not allowed to make an effort. If this plan can be used at the extreme, it will be better than the battlefield to avoid arrows!"
