Chapter 744 Negotiating Conditions(2/2)
Of course, he also knew that the Feng family was suffering from internal and external troubles, with various factions vying for power within the family, and even the Xian family, the Feng family's in-laws and allies, were somewhat alienated.
And the small wealthy families under the Feng family, Li Liaoman, are not very obedient, let alone the two new states established by Dou Bian. These two states were originally within the Chen family's sphere of influence in Longzhou, but they lost control at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
Now that the imperial court has assigned these two places to the Feng family's high mansion, the officials in the two states are naturally still disobedient.
But now, the imperial court is going to move south again.
This is the real threat to the Feng family's century-old foundation, but it is so powerful that they dare not openly resist.
In this complicated situation, Feng An, the head of the Feng family, was detained in Chang'an again. He came to take over the family business, but his brothers and relatives were still unwilling to accept it.
"Captain, I think we can talk to Fu San and the others. They are more afraid of Mr. Wu's arrival than we are,"
"Yes, we can't delay it any longer. When Mr. Wu really arrives, we have no room left. If Mr. Wu is allowed to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, then Dou, Bian, and even Luozhou may be lost from our hands."
They discussed the terms of the negotiation,
Luo Doubian argued that all the Lili barbarians in the three states had to surrender to Feng Zhidai and had to register their households. The Feng family guaranteed their safety after surrender and even gave them some official positions.
From now on, Fusan and other Xitong barbarians must obey the orders of the Governor's Office and must not disobey them.
Before the officers and soldiers could go south, the three-state rebellion in the Gaozhou Governor's Mansion ended with the surrender of Li Liaoman.
Everyone takes a step back.
The third class were helped to join the Feng family, and the Feng family would keep them safe and not pursue them further, but they would also have to be registered in the household register, serve in the military, and pay taxes.
The most important thing is that these slanderous officials will have to follow the Feng family's lead in the future.
"It seems that Wu Xiangguo left the capital in March. How long have we been on the road and we haven't arrived yet?" Feng Zhidai calculated the time and found that he had been on the road for a long time.
Although it is said that it is four thousand miles from Chang'an to Guangzhou,
But a hundred miles a day will take at most forty days. Even if it's sixty miles a day, it will take about two months at most.
But now it's already May, Wu Huaiyu has been on the road for two months, and is still in Luling, Jizhou, in the upper reaches of the Gan River on Jiangnan West Road.
It's also too slow.
"Is Wu Xiangguo deliberately delaying?"
