The hilly areas from Suzhou in the west of Huainan area and Yangzhou in the east of Luzhou are all vast plains, and the subtropical rainfall is sufficient for agricultural growth.
No matter which dynasty or generation, no matter how Yangzhou’s location changes, it is the land of plenty in the minds of the people.
In addition, due to the convenient waterway transportation, Yangzhou’s military aspect is also extremely important.
Once there is war and rebellion in the south, the central court can cross the river from Yangzhou quickly.
In particular, Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the most prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River, the center of Huainan Daozhi Institute. It is known as "Yang Yi Er" and its economic status is equivalent to the future sea.
After the Anshi Rebellion, Yangzhou became the most important economic lifeline of the central government.
Shipbuilding, casting money, and making tea are the core of Yangzhou’s military materials manufacturing.
It can be said that the whole Datang is not far from extinction if there is any accident in Yangzhou.

"Here … is it really close to Yangzhou boundary?"
Pei Wende, wearing a monk’s robe and holding a Buddhist monk’s knife, can’t hide his shock in his eyes.
Pei Wende, who has been begging for refugees, looting bandits and starving to death over the years, has already seen a lot.
Pei Wende’s situation in Yangzhou will be slightly better, but he never imagined that it was not much better than what he saw all the way.
Perhaps there is not much difference between here and the counties along the road where he is in famine except that there are a little less skeletons along the road.
Of course, this is also because the route taken by Pei Wende is what he saw in those poor and famine areas, and it is also a natural scene of widespread indignation and discontent.
The only thing that is fortunate is that since Tang Xuanzong’s accession to the throne, various government decrees and relief materials have been continuously issued to all parts of the country.
Apart from this route taken by Pei Wende, the local people live and work in peace and contentment.
However, it is precisely this huge gap that makes Pei Wendegen unable to believe that he is about to enter the Yangzhou boundary.
Yangzhou, however, is famous as the economic lifeline of Datang.
Once there is a problem here, this short-lived "zhongxing elephant" root will not last long.
"Do you want to do it again?"
Quietly poked his head out of Peiwende’s robe, Xiaoqing whispered softly while spitting a snake letter
Pei Wende specially picked out those chaotic and evil spirits along the way, and took Xiaoqing’s route. I can’t remember how many monsters the other side killed and how many evil spirits they drove along the way.
"I was in Yangzhou, and the similar situation would be slightly better."
There was no positive answer to Xiaoqing’s question. Pei Wende slowly pulled out the Buddhist monk’s knife and watched the cavalry not far away.
"I didn’t expect that even Yangzhou, a rich land like this, would be full of hungry people and bandits."
Pei Wende looked at the score. The cavalry leader was in rags and armed with a machete, just like a road bully robber.
And most of the people running behind him are sallow and emaciated refugees.
Seeing that these refugees are fierce, they are holding a wooden stick, but they seem to be holding a sharp sword. You can see that their hands have touched many lives.
"Haha, I didn’t expect to touch a monk today!"
Moments later, the cavalry leader rushed to Pei Wende first and looked at him with a wild and wild eye.
"Hey, monk, hand over your valuables quickly!"
"Look at the Buddha’s face, maybe I’ll let you go!"
When he said this, the cavalry leader kept his eyes on Pei Wende’s mouth for a long time.
As far as the cavalry leader is concerned, this gap is surrounded by three or five riding bandits, and Peiwende is surrounded.
For those refugees who are still running?
Although they are slower than these riding bandits, it won’t take them long to get there.
"Amitabha donors don’t look like they mean what they say."
One hand holding Buddhist monk’s knife and the other hand performing Buddhist rites …
Peiwende corners of the mouth slightly raise eyes but made no secret of the murder.
Because Pei Wende, the cavalry body, saw the blood that had not dried up, and he saw it for a long time and did not dispel his resentment.
Obviously, I met Pei Wende. Not long ago, this group of bandits just robbed and killed people, and even their blood was still warm.
Especially the leader of the first horse team, his resentment is more terrible than many monsters.
God knows how many talents he killed can make the dead resent for years and almost turn evil into evil.
This is due to Yangzhou’s special geographical location, because it is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, where the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the Yangtze River meet.
