Cui Yue and Lu Chen not only served as envoys of Liaobian, but also responded to the expedition of Xingtai, left Liaobian, and returned to Zhongzhou across the sea. They first arrived at Le'an in Qingzhou, and then continued westward along the Yellow River, but when they arrived in Jijun, they learned that General Shen was no longer in Xingtai, so they turned north and went to the base camp of the Northern Expedition Wangshi, which was currently located in Yedi.

Cui Lu and the two have been living in Liaobian all the year round, and their memories of Zhongzhou have become extremely blurred, and they came along the Yellow River, thinking that what they saw should be a ruined and ruined landscape.

After all, although Zhongzhou Xingtai is prosperous, but it is only in the last few years, since ancient times, it is difficult to create, but it is easy to destroy, Yongjia disaster has been nearly 40 years ago, and it is not easy to recover in such a short period of time, not to mention that Xingtai has been uninterrupted in the crusade over the years, and naturally there is not much energy to run the place.

Therefore, Cui Yue and Lu Chen didn't dare to have too many expectations in their hearts. However, they didn't expect that the first stop after crossing the sea and landing gave them a big surprise.

Le'an is located in the north of Qingzhou, which is rich in fishing salt. As soon as they approached the quay, they were speechless in shock by the sheer size of the harbor and the almost borderless stretches of boats.

"Since the beginning of this year, the king has been in a hurry, and there are many Thai and semi-military forces in Hong Kong, otherwise the prosperity will be several times greater."

Qingzhou officials who came to greet him explained with a smile while leading Cui Lu and his party into Hong Kong.

And after hearing this, a group of people from Liaobian were even more speechless, it was really the prosperous scene in front of them, compared with the cold and desolation of Liaobian that they had become accustomed to, it was simply a judgment of clouds and mud, and the gap was so large that it even made the words discolored, making people not know how to express and describe.

The lower reaches of the Yellow River have been the front line of the north-south confrontation in the old years, because even if there is construction, it is mostly used for military purposes, and now the king has moved northward, and these places are inevitably deserted, but there are also coastal counties and county governments that gradually fill in the households, and the busy scene of all kinds of people is far from being comparable to Liaobian.

"Governing the world is a great cause. I'm afraid that when China and North Korea are at their peak, they may not be able to exceed this! ”

Cui Lu and the others sighed with emotion, perhaps this evaluation is a bit exaggerated, after all, China is blessed, and any era of great unification can be full of vitality. However, there are many expediencies in China and North Korea, even if there is a period of prosperity, but it is only a kind of deformed prosperity, and when it comes to universal benefits, it is far inferior to today's Xingtai.

However, the amazed performance of these Liaobian visitors did make the officials who accompanied them along the way feel happy and proud, and the majestic prosperity has been seen, and those who are fortunate to devote themselves to it at the right time are naturally deeply honored and honored.

Xingyang is the middle road Wang Division logistics camp is located, this underground is connected to the chasm, where Yuzhou, Heluo, Huainan, Jiangxia and other places are gathered here, and then sent to Hebei. Although Cui Lu and the others only stayed here for a short time, they were still deeply impressed by the stacks of undulating warehouses and the logistics army that constantly transported supplies to Hebei like ants moving.

"Compared with the general trend of the scorching sun in Zhongzhou, Liaobian Hao is not as strong as Tianye MSI, Murong Hao compares himself with a brilliant man in vain, after all, he still sees it shallowly and seeks his own death!"

Although Murong Hao had already died, Cui Lu and the others had lived in Liaobian for many years, and they still attached some importance to this overlord of Liaodong, but when they really saw that the general trend of China had been vigorously gathered to such an extent, they finally realized how shallow their thinking in the old years was.

No matter how arrogant Bian Hu is for a while, as long as he does not enter China for a day, he will always be just a thief in the border field who can't get on the stage.

The group crossed the river and soon arrived at the base camp of the king in Yedi. The center of the heart of this old country has already been completely controlled by the Wang Division, and everywhere you look, there are camps of various banners of the Wang Division, and the company camp is almost 100 miles, and the military strength is so strong that the hearts of these Liaobian people are swaying, and they are so excited that they can't help themselves.

"The general is currently patrolling the battalion, not in Santai, but he also knows that the second prince has crossed the sea to return to China, and he specially ordered me to meet him here. Please go to Santai first, wash the dust a little, and when the general returns, he will be hospitable. ”

In just over a year, Zhang Tan's fortunes can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, from a precarious person to a dignified county 2,000 stone high-ranking officials, and the whole person has also swept away the old decadence, and his face is always glowing with glory that is difficult to hide.

Although Cui Lu and the others have just entered Zhongzhou and know little about Chinese characters, they also know that the person who can serve as the Taishou of Wei County is definitely not an ordinary person. Aside from the important geographical situation of Wei County in Hebei, this place alone is the base camp of the Chinese army of the Northern Expeditionary Division, and they dare not underestimate this upstart in Taiwan.

After several years of confrontation and war with Fangtou, Yecheng, the capital of Hebei, was already dilapidated, and after Wang Shi recovered this realm, he did not have the energy and time to carry out large-scale construction, just cleaned up the old site of Santai, and temporarily used it as the place where the general was driving.

Although there are many camps in this realm, such as the scattered distribution of stars in the sky, the real main force of Wang Shi has already continued to go north, penetrating into the southern part of Xiangguo and Guangping County. There are only tens of thousands of soldiers from Yuzhou and Heluo who are still stationed here, including the Shengwu Army.

The general temporarily resided in Santai, and the officials of Caogong Temple in many ministries of Xingtai naturally followed here, following the gradual advancement of the Wang Division and recovering the territory and resuming the operation.

Knowing that Cui Lu and others had arrived in Santai, many officials also came to watch, wanting to appreciate the demeanor of these celebrities who have been quite prestigious since China and North Korea. This kind of enthusiasm made Cui Yue and Lu Chen feel quite flattered, and even the discomfort of entering Zhongzhou was gradually washed away.

While they were being watched by onlookers, Cui Lu and others were also looking at these people who were working on the stage, and their first impression was that these people were really young and heroic, which even made them sad that they were old and unbearable.

The second impression is the spiritual outlook of these people who work on the stage, regardless of martial arts, all of them are full of vigor, and their bodies are full of moving self-confidence, their eyes are determined, their words and smiles are free, and their manners are also heroic.

They had also seen such qualities in Wen Fangzhi, and they didn't think much of it at the time, after all, the son of a famous father should have such an atmosphere. But when you walk into this camp of the king's master, you can see that there are all such heroes, even if they are ordinary pawns in the camp, they all give people a kind of unbeatable sharpness, which is completely shocking.

Gradually, they were also deeply affected by this weather, and even their rickety bodies that had been torn by the years gradually became straighter, and their laughter and laughter gradually amplified, unwilling to let people see the original old and weak posture.

If the journey includes the various weather seen in the military camp at present, it shows the confidence of the people on the platform that the Northern Expedition will be successful. Then the various flags in the barracks, including the various ceremonial guards set up in the general's lodging, highlight the authority of General Shen as the absolute one in the current royal division.

The banner of "Protecting the Country" and "General Shen" is fierce, and the three Yubao, Jiu Lu Luan, Huangwu Zuo, and Jieyue Scepter, and the honor guard respect the majestic and invincible king, which is enough to show the monstrous power of this southern minister who is now at the top and has no rivalry.

After seeing this, Cui Yue and Lu Chen glanced at each other, and each had a little unnatural in their eyes.

It's not that they are vigilant about the power of this general Shen, or they are sympathetic to the bleakness of the Sima clan's imperial power, they themselves are neither the old people of Zhongxing, nor the remnants of the Yuefu of the mainstream of Nandu, strictly speaking, they actually lack much recognition of the royal family in Jiangdong today, but because this pattern of strong ministers and weak lords is abnormal, and there are many hidden dangers.

Of course, they have just arrived in Zhongzhou, and they will not and dare not rashly address this kind of issue without fully understanding the current situation, but they just hope that the general who has not yet met must have enough prestige and means to control the situation, and must not waste the most glorious general situation since Yongjia.

After Zhang Tan temporarily settled Cui Lu and others near Santai, he said goodbye and left in a hurry, as the Taishou of Wei County, he also has a lot of affairs at the moment, and it is already very important to be able to come forward to meet this group, and naturally he will not be with him for a long time.

However, Cui Lu and the others are not lonely, they have just lived for a long time, and there are constantly visitors to visit.

Thanks to the public opinion propaganda of Xingtai for many years, especially Shiyu listed Liu Kun as the first minister of China and North Korea, Cui Lu and others as Liu Kun's old department, and their personal fame and old deeds were also widely spread under the rule of Xingtai.

Of course, if it is based on the facts, it is still an exaggeration to promote Liu Kun to such a respected position. Liu Kun has his own merits, but it is definitely not to the point of being the first person in China and North Korea, not to mention the founding fathers who emerged in the series of wars of the unification of the Three Kingdoms.

However, the ancestral family's meritorious deeds are not entrusted to people, Zu Yue betrayed the Jin State and went north to the Jin Kingdom and even died of old age in Hebei, no matter how magnanimous and broad Xingtai is, he can't respect Zu Ti too much.

As for those famous ministers who have crossed to Zhongxing in the south, such as Wang Dao, Yu Liang, etc., they are the direct obstacles on the way to the rise of General Shen, and being able to maintain the honor without losing and getting a little fair evaluation is already considered the general's graceful tolerance, and there will be no boasting.

Although Cui Lu and the others were dusty and very tired, in the face of the enthusiastic visitors, it was not good to avoid them too arrogantly, after all, they would have to be ministers in the same hall in the future, so there was no need to bury their grievances over this trivial matter, because they could only cheer up and discuss with the visitors.

In the afternoon of the next day, the camp ban suddenly became strict, and the general was about to return to the camp, Cui Lu and the others did not dare to slack off, and after bathing and changing clothes, they waited for the return of the general with a group of Xingtai officials.

Nearly in the evening, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the three camps, and thousands of knights poured into the camp like a torrent of iron walls.
