Chapter 385 Return
In July, Li Po led his army back to Yunnei.
The bones of several veterans were buried in the Yunnei cemetery, and then a memorial ceremony was held in Yunnei to commemorate the soldiers and soldiers who died in the war this year.
In fact, although there were many battles fought this year, the war between the north and the south, the Daizhou army was thousands of miles long, invincible, and the soldiers were very tired, but their own injuries were not much.
This sacrifice cannot be compared with the memorial activities held before the Hengan Town Army went east to Youzhou.
Because the soldiers of the army have gone south one after another, some have gone to the county town of Mayi, some have gone to Loufu, some have gone back to Yanmen, and some have to go directly to Jinyang, because winter is coming soon, and it is impossible for the army to gather in Yunnei for the winter.
Therefore, when Li Po returned to Yunnei, all those who remained in Yunnei were injured and sick in the war in the north, and the number of people could not be very large, plus the officials and defenders in Yunnei, that is, a few thousand.
But Yunnei is the place where the Daizhou Army started, and the significance is extraordinary, Li Po will definitely not return to this place too much in the future, but his foundation will always be here.
Speaking of Li Po, people will say that Li Po's ancestral hometown is Fufeng, which started in Yunnei, and now he is almost a family of his own, and most of the people in Jindi will say Li Po in Yunnei, not Li Ding'an.
Obviously, now among the gate valves in Jindi, there is a place for Li Po, don't look at him as just alone, no brothers and nephews, as long as his position is stable, no one will say that he can't support a gate valve alone.
Just like those who traveled west with the Yuwen clan at the beginning, most of them didn't bring any family members, but in the end, they all laid the foundation of the Kansai Gate Valve.
Therefore, today's Li Po, in the eyes of the people of Jindi, belongs to the people of Jindi, but in the eyes of the people of Kansai, it is an extension of the Guanxi gate valve and a very popular position.
After the solemn ceremony, Li Po immediately ordered Xu Zhao, who was in Yanmen, to go north, and ordered him to build a city on the bank of Cangshui with Yuen Long, and form a corner with the two cities of Yunnei Mayi.
Of course, this is also the reason why too many Turks were captured in this battle.
More than 80,000 Turkic prisoners of war are really a terrifying number for the two states, and it is definitely not enough to let them herd sheep and horses.
Moreover, the Canghe Racecourse has been idle, and there is no Chengchi Wubao there, because there should be Dingxiang County in the north as the front of the Canghe Racecourse.
As soon as Dingxiang County was lost, the Canghe Horse Farm soon became a place where the Turks wreaked havoc at will, not to mention grazing, and they had to be careful of being caught by the Turks coming from the north when they wandered there.
Therefore, it is better to build another pasture based on the city, just like Yunnei.
This task is relatively heavy, the transfer of tens of thousands of people, in addition to the construction of the city, must also be grazed, and the prerequisite is also indispensable, that is, the Turks will not come south next year to take revenge.
As for the headache of craftsmen and the progress of the project, there is really no need to worry.
Yang Guang has spent more than ten years to train a large number of engineering experts, and there is no shortage of such people in the army and in the localities.
The laborers were prisoners of war, and the overseers were appropriate, and the Western Turks were more than willing to serve this generous master, for there were very few men among them, and most of them were women.
Lacking ambition, over the past few years, they have made Yunnei their home.
Using them as overseers would reduce the resistance of the POWs.
The disadvantage is that it is likely that a relatively large Turkic gathering place will be formed here in Cangshui, and it is really unreassuring to use them as the defenders of the border fortress.
Of course, there is no shadow of the city now, so there is no such thing.
In Yunnei, Li Po met with many people, and it took almost a month to convince everyone in Yunnei, and on behalf of the masters of the two states, he really regarded Yunnei as his hometown.
How to describe the extent to which Li Po is supported in Yunnei, well, let's put it this way, if you say a bad word about Li Ding'an to someone on the street, it won't take long for you to be beaten up by all kinds of people in Yunnei, and then arrested and brought to justice.
The law is not strict, everyone is not satisfied, maybe they have to reason with the government.
What Li Po brought to Yunnei was countless glory and stability.
The chaotic Yunnei, after Li Po became the master, had some turmoil, which also worried the residents of Yunnei, but with the extension of time.
Beacons broke out everywhere in the world, and people were destroyed and displaced.
At this time, the uniqueness of Yunnei was revealed, the people here could eat their stomachs, and the battles were one after another, but not many people died.
The property of each household in Yunnei has also been guaranteed to the greatest extent.
The most disgusting conscription, in these years, is even less than when Yang Guang was in power, as if the only requirement of the government is that everyone can eat enough and don't go hungry.
This is indeed the only thing Li Po can think of in the past few years, and he has tried his best to do it, almost every killing is for a bite to eat.
It sounds very poignant, but the benefits are obvious, it brings stability in the cloud, not prosperous, but very stable.
Stability is actually the most precious thing in this troubled era, and to this day, without how the government can publicize it, the people in Yunnei are grateful to Li Po, and the small turmoil of the year has long been forgotten in the corner.
Li Po was very comfortable in Yunnei, he enjoyed this feeling of being supported by thousands of people, and after the battle, all fatigue was relieved here.
When he walks down the street, countless people will bow down to him.
The ubiquitous entertainment venues in Yunnei, that is, between those Qinglou Chu Pavilions, are full of singing about his good name, and Li Po himself is not very embarrassed.
So, before the first snow of winter came, Yuen Long and his bride were instructed to take good care of their family business, properly guard the prisoners of war scattered everywhere, and single out the relatives of Ashina Elivivo and Ashina Boyu and gather them together.
Don't let them run away, don't abuse them, this may be a bargaining chip with the Turks.
So, in August, when the cold wind was rising, Li Po led his troops out of Yunnei and came to the county town of Mayi.
If in Yunnei, Li Po is surrounded by nostalgia, then in the county town of Mayi, as well as Yanmen and Jinyang in the south, he enjoys the glory of prestige and respect by everyone.
In the second half of this year, the two major battles, the capture of Jinyang, the north of the Turks, the defeat of strong enemies, his reputation for good war, with the return of the army to the south, has been spread throughout and on behalf of the two states.
It is conceivable that with the passage of time, the name of Li Ding'an, who was divided into two states, will also shine in the world, overshadowing the so-called famous generals in the world.
When he confronted Li Po, he was three points timid.
The exploits of the northern attack on the Turks have always had such a bonus effect, but after so many years, the generals who can take the Turks are either dead or in their seventies and eighties.
Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the heroes of the world have risen together, and the heroes and heroes of the north have bowed their heads to the Turks and sought official positions.
After this battle, no one will dare to doubt the determination and achievements of Li Ding'an in Yunnei to fight the Turks.
More than 100,000 Turkic prisoners of war were placed there, and countless cattle and sheep were driven south and placed on the pastures of Yunnei, Mayi, Yanmen, and Loufu.
In addition to glory, the most direct effect is that the grain prices in the two states have fallen directly, and the food prices have driven other prices.
Under the First World War, the headache problem of great effort and unsatisfactory results was solved at once.
In many cases, war is a huge profit, otherwise there would not be so many people who would have taken pleasure in waging war.
In the county town of Mayi, Li Po didn't stay for a few days, Wang Lu is a person with mediocre talents, governing a place, you can't find how brilliant he is, most of them are what he says, he will do whatever he does.
Compared with Lou Fu Su Yan, he is obviously much inferior.
But this person made Li Po very relieved, Ma Yi, who has been in turmoil repeatedly, doesn't need any capable people to toss anymore, as long as it is stable and stable, it is everyone's blessing.
As long as the northern Turks don't come, Wang Lu's Taishou is actually just right.
Of course, this is just Li Po's opinion, whether it is right or not, there is no need to wait and see, the people under his rule have the final say.
Li Po was in the county town of Mayi, and he took a day of micro-service, which scared Wang Lu and others enough, and the people in Mayi, who gradually became full, were quite satisfied.
Of course, if you want to recover from the pain of the great cause for thirteen years, this time is not enough.
And Li Po's reputation in Mayi City is also very good.
In fact, it's quite a simple matter, since Li Po took charge of Mayi, more than a year has been a bit short, but the food has become more and more abundant, and the people's hearts have quickly settled down.
The turmoil in the north is caused by a lack of food.
The Great Sui did not die in some land annexation, foreign invasion, power and other things, in fact, it died on a grain.
This is obviously a thing full of irony under the situation of mountains of grain piling up in the major granaries of the Great Sui.
is still the same sentence, Li Po has killed for food all these years, and to this day, the reward is that the places under his rule are gradually filled with food, and people's hearts are much more stable than in other places.
The immigrants from Youzhou have lived a life of grazing in the county town of Mayi and Shenwu, and the resentment from the westward migration is dissipating.
Li Po turned around, what he saw and heard was quite satisfied, what made people's eyes shine was the women's army in Mayi City, which was obviously a relatively beautiful scenery in Mayi County.
Back then, the guards at the city gate were all five big and three rough men, all of them ghostly, which gave Li Po a very bad impression, but now, the city gate has been replaced by women, and it is much easier to talk.
It's just that the force value is a bit worrisome, but there is an advantage in numbers, which makes them look very majestic.
It is said that no one dares to provoke them easily, they are all sitting households in the city of Mayi, and their relatives have shed blood for Mayi, most of them are widows, or their fathers and brothers are gone, and under the sympathy of the same disease, they are extraordinarily grouped, you provoke one, and wait for someone to provoke a group.
Few people are willing to poke such a hornet's nest, and it has a bad reputation, and it is easy to cause public indignation.
At this point, Li Po is extremely satisfied with Wang Lu, so that the women's army in Mayi City can survive, Wang Lu still has some bright spots.
In fact, he was really wrong, the women's army was established by his own order, even if Wang Lu didn't want to see a group of women become part of the county's defense, he didn't dare to tear down the women's army, in addition to providing enough food and grass, he had to keep replenishing its soldiers.
I was afraid that Li Poxing would be there, and asked how the army in Mayi City was.
No, his prudence was rewarded, and when Li Po returned to the county government, he praised him very much, which really flattered Wang Lu and was complacent for a long time.
He doesn't have much ambition, and by chance, he became the county guard of Mayi step by step, and he stayed in this position honestly, basically not doing what he thought at all.
Immediately, Li Po set off south to Yanmen.
Yanmen is another scene, Li Bi and Yuwenxin heard the news and led the crowd to welcome more than ten miles.
is different from the "deserted" of Mayi County, as the center of Daizhou, Yanmen is much more prosperous here, and the number of officials is not Yunnei, which can be compared with Mayi County.
Li Po is only left with prestige here, an awe-inspiring reputation.
Yu Wenxin is obviously much darker and thinner, in the position of Jinyang's soldier, he has a more leisurely life, but when he arrives in Yanmen, he can't do it.
It was an incomparably heavy government affair, everything had just begun, and he had to sort out everything as a guard, Chen Xiaoyi left a big stall in Yanmen.
If Wang Lu is put in this position, he will definitely make a mess for you.
But Yu Wenxin, he likes this position very much, his goal is nothing else, he is waiting for Li Po to become king, and he has the position of acting governor in front of him.
As an ambitious and talented person, he was like a fish in water when he first came to Yanmen.
Labor is nothing to a person like him, what he wants is a power that shoulders heavy responsibilities and can show off in front of others.
Therefore, when he was first in charge of Yanmen government affairs, he did not sit in the house, but after being a little familiar with government affairs, he ran around to check the situation in various places under his rule and became familiar with his subordinate officials.
During the days when Li Po led his troops north, he traveled almost non-stop to various territories in Yanmen, and when Li Po returned to the army, he had just returned to Yanmen County.
Such an attitude towards governance also made Li Po very satisfied.
It can be said that the people here in Yanmen are also happy, and after the eleventh year of war in the great cause, the two Taishou before and after are all capable members.
There is Mayi in the north, Jinyang in the south, Yanmen has begun to stay away from the war, it is not a problem to eat a full stomach at all, and the population is not a problem, the problem is to live and work in peace and contentment, and prosper rapidly.
Chen Xiaoyi laid a good foundation, and Yu Wenxin wanted to add bricks and tiles to it.
And at this moment, what he has to do is to welcome the triumphant return of the Lord, and then tell Li Po what he has gained......
