Xue Tao was still a little hesitant to go straight to the General's Mansion to pay a visit. Because his situation is different from Fang Wang, as the representative of the Hedong Township Sect's self-defense, he will inevitably have more concerns about his every move.

In fact, long before the establishment of Luoyang Xingtai, the then Huainan Governor's Office sent an envoy to show goodwill, and Xue Tao did not pay too much attention to it at that time, after all, the distance between each other was too far, even if there was too much contact, the actual meaning was not great.

Of course, the main reason is that this General Shen's attitude towards them, the Northland Township Sect, is really not too friendly, and all kinds of previous deeds have shown that General Shen is too strong and cannot tolerate too independent existence under his rule.

But even if they don't consider the power of the power, after Yongjia, these villagers have relied on this way to protect the countryside and resist the attack of Hu Lu for decades, how can they easily change?

Even if Xue Tao is willing to let go of his momentum in his hometown and merge into the Taiwan unification order according to the wishes of this General Shen, this General Shen will be able to win all the way and completely drive Hu Zhong out of the land of China? Once there are any twists and turns, the remnants will lead the remnants to pat their butts all the way back to Jiangdong, and what should they do if they are left behind?

You must know that their Xue clan's growth in the turbulent and turbulent times is not entirely the result of active pursuit, but more because the villagers can't stand the destruction of Hu Lu and cling to it. How can we count how much blood and tears condensed between the distribution of this kind of abnormal growth?

Xue Tao also believed that once he put himself into the stage, that General Shen would definitely treat his family with kindness, but would he be kind to the rest of the villagers?

If Xue Tao is just a person who is greedy for power, he doesn't have to be as entangled as he is now, he could have been under Liu and Shi long before Wang Shi went north, but he has worked hard to maintain his family and township for decades, and he has not obeyed the edicts of Liu and Shi, so he has always been heroic.

Walking into Luoyang this time, all kinds of prosperity between Heluo, including the situation of the villager Fang in Luoyang, all brought great touch to Xue Tao. But if it is said that he can decide to represent the Hedong Township Party to enter the rule of Xingtai, Xue Tao really does not dare to make a conclusion prematurely.

At present, Hedong is in danger of rural poverty, if he directly asks General Xingtai, he doesn't know what the real temperament of that General Shen is, and he may see it as a good opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob It's also unknown, so before that, Xue Tao is still inclined to see if he can solve this matter alone.

Even if you really want to consider whether to invest in the stage in the future, you should skip this season and wait until the nostalgia is slow before negotiating.

After listening to Xue Tao's considerations, Fang Wang was also silent. He prefers that Xue Tao can be put into Xingtai, so that these villagers in Luoyang can also take care of them a little, although there is no shortage of old Hedong clans in Xingtai, but those are mostly people who crossed south early, and when it comes to intimacy, they are naturally not as good as Xue's people who have been watching and helping each other and overcoming danger together for decades.

However, Fang Wang is only a humble official in Luoyang at the moment, and the level he can touch is extremely shallow, and he has never even seen the general Shen who has a prestige that shocks the north and the south, so it is really difficult to pat his chest and make any guarantees.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day was the first day of the Chinese feast. Often, on this day, General Shen had to go to the Xishan Engineering Institute in person to entertain some of the time-honored people.

Honestly, Xue Tao was qualified enough to be invited to General Shen's banquet, but he didn't want to worship directly, so this grand event on the first day naturally had nothing to do with them.

Although he didn't have the opportunity to attend the banquet, Xue Tao couldn't help but ask Fang Wang to lead him to the suburbs of Xishan for a while.

On this day, the south of Luoyang City was on guard, and two thousand Shengwu soldiers patrolled the clean street, and at dawn, General Shen drove out of the mansion located on the north bank of Luoshui, and went straight to the south of the city. In addition to a large number of villagers who came to watch the ceremony on both sides of the road along the way, there were also people who had cars and cars to watch and watch, and Fang Wang and Xue Tao were in the same place.

"Brother Shi, look at the old man opposite, it is Liu Chenggong of the Liu family, who is also our Hedong Township Sect, and Cheng Gong is currently serving as a librarian in the Xinshi Pavilion, and today he is probably leading the children of the family to come to open his eyes a little......

In order to receive Xue Tao, Fang Wang was also attentive, and last night he asked his son to drive the family car to the high post designated by the division to stop and watch the ceremony.

Xue Tao also followed Fang Wang's guidance to look left and right, the name of the Liu clan in Hedong, he naturally knew that the elder of the Liu clan, Liu Cheng, even went to visit his father in his early years, but he didn't expect that he would have already entered Heluo to operate.

Originally, Xue Tao planned to come forward to salute, but after thinking about it, he gave up. The Liu clan is a Hedong clan, and although their Xue clan rose in the war, the relationship with these old clans in the county is really not very good. Because they moved from Shuzhong to Hedong in the early years, they have not been accepted by these clans, and even despised a lot.

In addition to the Liu family, Fang Wang's introduction of other people from the county Pei, Chen, and the surrounding Hongnong Yang, Xingyang Zheng and other family members, Xue Tao did not want to be too eye-catching or ridiculed.

In addition to these fashionable families, Xue Tao was really touched by the large number of people in this area in the southern suburbs and the growth of the scene. Although their Xue clan is known as having tens of thousands of people, they are usually busy with each other, and rarely gather, Xue Tao has really never seen such a large scene.

After a short time, General Shen's ceremonial drive slowly passed under the arch guard of the strong soldiers in the front and rear queues. General Shen was in the car, Xue Tao couldn't see it clearly, he paid the most attention to the officers and soldiers of the Shengwu Army who were guarding the front and back.

The prestige of Xingtai Wangshi is also very widespread in the north, but Xue Tao often lives in the township, and this is really the first time he has seen it. In addition to his Xu Rulin's momentum, what shocked him the most was the armor weapons that the soldiers were equipped with.

Just before General Shen's chariot was driving, there were a full five hundred heavily armored knights, with men and horses in armor, which looked like a solid wall cast of steel at a glance. These heavily armored knights had their swords hanging from their saddles and were nearly half a foot long, the blades of which shimmered with steel quenching edges, and the backs of their knives were thick, making them simply terrifying murder weapons.

Xue Tao had no doubt that just these five hundred heavy armor could probably slaughter tens of thousands of people around him! In addition to these five hundred heavily armored knights, there are also lightly armored cavalry formations, long lances, and sword and shield pawns distributed in the team, all of which are clearly distinguished and orderly.

Seeing this scene, Xue Tao's heart was even more excited, if he could get so many more than a thousand strong soldiers, no, even if he could only get half of the heavily armored knights, he would dare to fight with Shi Sheng's soldiers outside the dock wall, so that he would not be forced to come to Heluo to collect tea for him.

But he also understood that this could only be imagined, although the walls of his Fenyin Dock were also deep and tall, and there were many shaded households, they were only barely maintained, even he and his relatives could hardly gather the full armament of these heavy-armored knights, let alone train into an army.

After truly seeing the heroic posture of the king of Xingtai, Xue Tao realized that the reason why Shi Sheng fled to Pingyang was probably not only because of the plague last year, but also because of fear.

Soon, General Shen drove straight into the West Mountain, but the crowd of onlookers did not disperse for a long time, and each had an uplifting attitude, and the discussion was mostly related to the magnificent appearance of the Shengwu army. Such a strong army guarding Heluo brings great comfort to people's hearts, which is worth a thousand words.

"Although it is not the first time I have seen it, every time I see it again, my heart is still inevitably shaken. With such an iron wall surrounding Heluo, why not be afraid of foreign enemies! ”

Fang Wang looked at the direction of the departure of the ceremonial team, sighed so much, and his face showed full pride, although he had not been in Luo for a long time, but the sense of belonging was already full, and there was a detachment and self-satisfaction that could be attached to such a powerful power. It was only when he saw that Xue Tao's expression changed slightly, so he closed his mouth and didn't say more.

"Whether you succeed or fail in the future, can you please Jingyuan help me introduce me a little, I want to worship General Shen."

Xue Tao pondered for a moment before he spoke, and then he felt a little embarrassed, so he added: "Even if you can't see General Shen, you can be on the stage." After all, we are all people who worship Jinzuo, and since we have entered here, it is really disrespectful if we don't see worship. ”

Fang Wang was already overjoyed when he heard this, and he would not see Xue Tao backtracking, so he said with a smile: "Please rest assured about this, General Shen has a large amount of weapons, if you hear that my Hedong Ying is like a brother in the world to come to visit, I am afraid that I will meet him upside down, how can I not see it." ”

Skipping this incident, the two dispersed with the large group of villagers. After another night, all kinds of prohibitions in Xishan were gradually lifted, and people from all walks of life were able to enter and leave freely.

The Chinese banquet is not just one day, it seems that it lasted for nearly a month last year, but only on this first day, General Shen will attend, and there are only a few people who can get the banquet. For a period of time afterward, there were still other officials from the Taiwan Province presiding, and businessmen from all sides gathered to exchange ideas.

At this moment, Xishan becomes the most prosperous place around Luoyang. Xue Tao was homesick, so he hurriedly went to Xishan the next day, but unfortunately Fang Wang needed to return to the office to work this day, so he could only arrange for his eldest son Fang Jun to act as a guide.

"Every year at the Xishan gathering, all parties gather, like me, it is really difficult to get into a detailed view. This year, it was a rare opportunity for me to accompany Shibo. ”

Fang Jun was able to go to Xishan, and he was extremely excited along the way.

But this gesture looked at Xue Tao's eyes, and he still felt a little unhappy in his heart, this so-called Huaxiang banquet, in the final analysis, is just a gathering of businessmen, and all the things involved are vulgar and flashy, and only then can there be a little long-term benefit in people's virtues, this Fang Jun was also a simple backward in the township in previous years, but he has not been in Luo for a long time, and he has been impregnated with a slightly impetuous atmosphere. From this point of view, Luoyang's style characters are not all good.

Fang Jun didn't know what Xue Tao was thinking, and led Xue Tao from the road leading to the mountains and soon came to the Engineering Institute located in the Xishan Valley.
