"Don't worry about that. I'm thinking about something else."

Su Nan said calmly.

"Yang Chuannan is the military commander of Yunzhou, wielding military and political power. Could this force him to rebel?"

"At that time, we will be the first to be targeted and purged in Yunzhou."

Officials who hold military power are different from officials in the capital.

The six guards and three imperial guard camps in the capital were all under the control of the imperial family, and the civil officials were powerless to resist.

But Yang Chuannan, as the commander of a prefecture, held military power and would not allow himself to be slaughtered.

In fact, Su Nan knew that he would encounter a rebellion on his way to Yunzhou.

But he couldn't say it openly, so he could only hint to Governor Zhang to make some preparations.

of course.

With his strength, he wouldn't be afraid even if there was a rebellion.

"This is a risk we have to take. I will consider it and, if necessary, petition the court to send troops to support us."

Governor Zhang was quite responsible and took on the task.

Chapter 70 Xiaorou, I can't sleep...

The possibility of the imperial court mobilizing troops is relatively small.

Yunzhou was in a state of chaos, with bandits running rampant and the local forces insufficient.

It takes a lot of time to transfer troops from neighboring states, and there's simply not enough time if problems arise.

However, Yunzhou is Li Miaozhen's territory, and her Flying Swallow Army still has some fighting power.

If necessary, Li Miaozhen can be brought over.

Governor Zhang was clearly aware of this as well, and his expression turned somewhat grave.

"The banditry in Yunzhou has a long history, and the imperial court is truly powerless to stop it."

Governor Zhang started showing off his erudition, a common problem among scholars.

"This all started five hundred years ago with the 'purging of the emperor's inner circle'..."

"When Emperor Wuzong led his army into the capital... he quickly pacified the various prefectures, but encountered fierce resistance from the defending general in Yunzhou. The commander of Yunzhou at the time was a famous general who was skilled in military tactics and even more adept at defending cities. Even with Emperor Wuzong's strategic acumen, he was unable to conquer Yunzhou in a short time."

"The two armies fought a protracted war for several years, which made the people's lives miserable and the people suffered so much that they simply became outlaws."

"Yunzhou is surrounded by mountains, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the land is fertile, which has become a breeding ground for bandits and outlaws. When Emperor Wuzong recovered Yunzhou, he found that Yunzhou was already full of bandits."

"A bitter war that lasted for several years severely weakened the Dafeng army, leaving it unable to suppress the bandits. Emperor Wuzong had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the capital, intending to recuperate before dealing with the matter."

"Later, the imperial court organized several campaigns to suppress the bandits, each time suffering huge casualties. As soon as one group of bandits in Yunzhou was wiped out, another group would appear. It was like spring breeze blowing and springing up again, eventually turning into a paradise for criminals wanted by the imperial court and scoundrels of the Jianghu."

In closing, Governor Zhang remarked with emotion.

"It's a chronic illness that's hard to cure."

Su Nan remained silent upon hearing this.

The problems in Yunzhou are, of course, historical issues.

If the founding emperor couldn't solve this problem, it was almost impossible for subsequent emperors to do so.

Firstly, their abilities are insufficient, and secondly, they inevitably become complacent and indulge in pleasure.

However, the chaos in Yunzhou was not solely due to this.

Xu Pingfeng's long-term strategic planning in Yunzhou is one of the reasons for his success.

This son of a bitch!

……

The matter was resolved quickly, and Su Nan and Nangong Qianrou left Governor Zhang's room.

Governor Zhang was, after all, a scholar, and valued health and wellness.

Unlike the crude brute, he needed to go to bed early and get up early to maintain his energy.

"Xiao Rou, Lord Wei has ordered you to protect me personally."

“I don’t feel very safe with a wall between us.”

"..."

Upon reaching the room door, Su Nan began teasing Nangong Qianrou once again.

Nangong Qianrou clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, saying, "At such a short distance, with me here, no one can hurt you."

After saying that, she went back to her room.

Su Nan knew that there was no progress in his relationship with Nangong Qianrou for the time being, so he smiled, shook his head, and went back to his room.

Sitting on the bed, Su Nan took out a small jade mirror.

On this trip to Yunzhou, I will inevitably have to deal with Li Miaozhen.

The thought of soon meeting this valiant and heroic Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect made Su Nan feel a little better.

Leaving Kyoto isn't so bad; you can make new friends.

Since we're going to be dealing with each other anyway, why not get in touch beforehand?

So he sent a message through the small jade mirror.

[Three: On the 2nd, I just received news that the imperial court has dispatched a governor to Yunzhou.]

Although it was late at night, it was obvious that the members of the Heaven and Earth Society were either night owls or light sleepers.

氿饲

Everyone was jolted awake by this news.

[5: Number 3, you're so annoying! Don't bother me to sleep in the middle of the night!]

A young girl from southern Xinjiang sent a letter of protest.

The others did not pass on messages, but silently watched the screen.

[Second: Is it related to the Qi faction?]

[Three: Yes, the night watchman's spies planted in the Commander-in-Chief's Office discovered that Yang Chuannan, the Commander-in-Chief of Yunzhou, was secretly aiding mountain bandits, supplying them with military provisions, and supporting them for his own gain. Therefore, an imperial envoy was dispatched to Yunzhou to investigate the case.]

[Second: That's impossible. I don't know if Yang Chuannan is a member of the Qi faction, but I know he's definitely not the kind of person who would support bandits for personal gain or supply them with military provisions.]

Li Miaozhen immediately denied the matter.

[Four: Nothing is impossible.]

Number Four, Chu Yuanzhen, often clashed with Li Miaozhen.

Li Miaozhen gave a light hum and quickly sent a message.

[Secondly: I have a good eye for people; Yang Chuannan isn't that kind of person.]

[Five: Number Three, why do you always have so much information? Are you a broker who sells information?]

Since Number Three arrived, the Heaven and Earth Society's group chat has become much more frequent.

Number three always gets lost.

Everyone tacitly chose to ignore the meaningless words of Number Five.

[Number Four: Number One should also know about this, so why didn't Number One say anything?]

Huaiqing, who had been silently watching the screen, could only lightly tap her slender, jade-like fingers.

[One: I haven't had a chance to say it yet.]

Everyone rolled their eyes.

Was it because you didn't have time, or because you didn't want to say?

have to say.

Number Three is indeed a good person.

Ever since he joined the Heaven and Earth Society, the atmosphere in the group chat has changed!

In the past, everyone was scheming against each other, and exchanging information was done very sparingly.

Number three is much more outgoing; he says whatever comes to mind.

And they never ask for anything in return.

correct.

He had previously helped Hengyuan from number six escape from the encirclement.

Number three is really nice.

Everyone silently murmured to themselves.

Su Nan then sent a message:

[Three: Number Two, if you don't believe me, wait for the imperial envoy and governor to arrive, and you can cooperate with them in the investigation. If Yang Chuannan is innocent, this will clear his name.]

【Second: Okay.】

Su Nan smiled slightly.

In this way, he wouldn't need to look for Li Miaozhen after arriving in Yunzhou.

Li Miaozhen would take the initiative to come to him.

[Second: By the way, how is Emperor Yuanjing's health?]

[Three: You seem to be in good health, why ask this?]

[Second: Bah! Daoist Master, you're blind! How come the old emperor is still alive?]

People were used to such remarks.

Number Two is an old angry young man.

Now that her goal had been achieved, Su Nan prepared to end the chat and go to sleep.
