In June, Yanmen Pass. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

Three days after the end of the Battle of Yanmen Pass, Xu Rong and Zhang Yan decided to return to Jinyang with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

The treacherous situation in northern Xinjiang has not improved in any way because of the victory at Yanmen Pass, but both Xu Rong and Zhang Yan know that the passive situation in northern Xinjiang will gradually change over time. What this change is, they don't know; They also do not know when the passive situation in northern Xinjiang will be completely reversed. They only waited, waited patiently.

Because Guo Yun, the Taishou of Yanmen County, was injured, and Ding Yuan, the commander of Wumeng of Hanoi County who came to support Yanmen Pass, was also injured, so Xu Rong and Zhang Yan discussed it and decided to let Xiaoshuai Wang Dang take 10,000 elites of the Yellow Turban Army and 100 ballistas to garrison the Juzhu Fortress.

Xu Rong then proposed to the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army that all the remaining 50,000 Tuntian soldiers after the Battle of Yanmen Pass should be converted into the main force of the Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Yan and Yang Feng were overjoyed, of course they were willing, but would the imperial court agree? Especially this time, they defeated the Xianbei people and killed tens of thousands of enemies, and their strong strength will definitely shock the government and the opposition, making the court and the court panic inside and outside. Xu Rong smiled: "Your Majesty will not disagree. At this time, who else can Your Majesty count on besides your Yellow Turban Army to defend and merge the state? Do you expect me to have an empty Zhenbei General's Mansion? ”

"But you also know the current situation of the imperial court, the food and salary given to us by the Dasi Nongfu is basically a drop in the bucket, and it is useless. At present, the food and salary of the entire northern Xinjiang army are all supported by a little old foundation of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and it is difficult to say whether it can last until the grain matures in October. Xu Rong continued, "So, I hope Feiyan and Qizhi can understand the difficulties of the Zhenbei General's Mansion. In addition to Wang Dang's 10,000 horses and horses, the other 80,000 people are only paid half of their salaries for the time being, and the other half is offset by the grain obtained from the tuntian. ”

Yang Feng was immediately a little unhappy in his heart, but he still barely squeezed out a few smiles on his face and asked, "Can you make it clear?" ”

Xu Rong explained: "The 130,000 Tuntian soldiers who participated in the war were all drawn from Hedong, and they lost about 80,000 people. With so many soldiers killed in battle, the hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Hedong could not be kept busy with only the remaining 70,000 tuntian soldiers. ”

Zhang Yan said: "So, Lord Xu means to send all the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army to Hedong to Tuntian?" ”

Xu Rong nodded and said embarrassedly: "We are about to give a bereavement to the 120,000 soldiers who died in the war. The court has no money, and the Son of Heaven will say that he owes it first, but we can't do this, it will chill the soldiers. In any case, the Zhenbei General's Mansion must be fully distributed within three months. Therefore......"

Yang Feng's face turned red, and he immediately felt very ashamed. He said excitedly: "My lord, we who are alive can not pay military salaries for the time being. ”

Xu Rong shook his hand and said resolutely: "This is even worse. We can not take it, but the soldiers can't not take it, this is the principle of the general, and it is also the principle of our Zhenbei General's Mansion, and no one can violate it privately. Not only do they want to take it, but they also want to take more, because today's merger state can be intact, and it is by their knife and knife that they cut it out. Therefore, I mean to let the main force of the Yellow Turban go to the tuntian, and after the grain harvest, get rid of the handover, which is their personal own, so as to make up for the soldiers' salaries. In this way, the soldiers were also paid, the food was planted, and they could train in their spare time. ”

Zhang Yan said happily: "My lord said wrong, not to make up, but to take a lot more, the soldiers must be very grateful to your lord." ”

Xu Rong smiled, looked at Yang Feng and said: "When the main force of the 80,000 Yellow Turban Army arrives in Hedong, I will transfer the hussar battalion that shoots Yingtong back to Jinyang, and all the garrisons in Hedong will be handed over to you." ”

"Jinyang doesn't want to be garrisoned?" Yang Feng asked cautiously, "Now that the four northern counties are still in the hands of the Xianbei people, the situation in northern Xinjiang is critical, and there are more than a million people in Taiyuan and Shangdang counties, how can Jinyang not be garrisoned by a large army?" ”

"After the Battle of Yanmen Pass, although Tuoba Feng still occupied the four northern counties, the threat to us is not great, and now the biggest threat to us is Hedong." Xu Rong pondered for a moment and said slowly, "The two adults are not outsiders, and they are also good brothers with the general, I will say some things clearly today, lest you accidentally make a mistake." ”

Zhang Yan and Yang Feng looked at each other, and then looked at Xu Rong solemnly together.

"The two of them got acquainted with the general in Jizhou, and they are very clear about the past and character of the general, you say, although a person like him has made many meritorious achievements, it only took four years to become the general of Zhenbei from a scout in Lulongsai, do you think he relied on his military merits?"

"With what he did in Xiliang to suppress corruption, no matter how much military merit he did, he would have been cut off his head a long time ago." Yang Feng said with a smile, "I heard that today's son appreciates him very much and protects him everywhere, so the general has today's achievements." ”

Xu Rong smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "The general is caught in the battle for the emperor's unification. ”

Zhang Yan and Yang Feng suddenly realized. At the beginning, Li Hong vowed to appease the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Yan was skeptical, and Yang Feng did not have any confidence at all, but Li Hong miraculously persuaded the Son of Heaven and the imperial court to successfully appease him. How could Li Hong convince the Son of Heaven? Why did the Son of Heaven trust him? It turned out that the Son of Heaven needed Li Hong's force.

Now it seems that Li Hong's appeasement is very far-sighted, otherwise this time the state will be lost, but who would have thought of today's events at that time? Who would have thought that the Yellow Turbans would become the mainstay of turning the tide? Looking back, many of Li Hong's myths have the shadow of today's son behind them. Without the support and trust of the Son of Heaven, his myth would have been extinguished long ago.

Although the two understood the key to many things, they did not have any joy in their hearts, but their faces were sad and speechless. In all dynasties, there are few important ministers of the court who are involved in the battle for imperial unity. If Li Hong falls because of the emperor's affairs, the subordinate officials who follow him will be implicated, and it will be very good if he can save his life. Especially people like Zhang Yan and Yang Feng, it is difficult not to die.

Zhang Yan and Yang Feng looked at Xu Rong's calm and calm expression, and suddenly found that they had thought too much about the consequences of being cared for. The appeasement only allowed the Yellow Turban Army to get into a rope sleeve, but the battle of Yanmen Pass made this rope sleeve clamp the Yellow Turban Army's neck. After the Yellow Turban Army was appeased, there was still a little independence, but after this battle, the only remaining independence was completely lost. Now the fate of the Yellow Turban Army has been tightly tied to the fate of Li Hong, and both glory and loss are lost. If the Yellow Turban Army wants to get out of this situation, it must recreate Li Hong's rebellion, but now it is difficult to rebel again. The Yellow Turban sergeants saw hope in Li Hong, planted hope in Bingzhou, and fought in Yanmen Pass, and then tried to encourage them to rebel, which was more difficult than ascending to the sky.

After the Battle of Yanmen Pass, the Yellow Turban Army became mighty. But in the eyes of the people of the world, what they see is not the strength of Zhang Yan and Yang Feng, but the strength of Li Hong. Li Hong appeased the Yellow Turban Army, Li Hong sat in the northern Xinjiang to take care of the Yellow Turban Army, Li Hong's Zhenbei General's Mansion commanded the Yellow Turban Army to defeat the Xianbei people, and the strong strength of the Yellow Turban Army was actually Li Hong's strength. This is something that Zhang Yan and Yang Feng, who have been awakened by Xu Rong's words, have to admit it, and Xu Rong saw this and discussed the future of the Yellow Turban Army with them. Otherwise, Xu Rong would not have told them the absolute secrets of the Zhenbei General's Mansion immediately after the end of the war.

The Yellow Turban Army after the Battle of Yanmen Pass, from the soldiers to the leaders of various departments, had been firmly controlled by the land of Bingzhou and Li Hong's Zhenbei General's Mansion.

Yang Feng's brows were deeply locked, looking very unwilling. Zhang Yan was very calm, he leaned into Yang Feng's ear and whispered: "What is the purpose of the great sage and good teacher to form the Yellow Turban Army and raise troops? The Yellow Turban Army is not our personal property, nor is it the property of Li Hong and the imperial court. The Yellow Turban Army is the Yellow Turban Army of the people of the world. As long as the people have food, clothing, and a house to live in, as long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, and are carefree, we will be considered successful. Whoever fails to do this will not be able to command the Yellow Turban Army, and whoever will not be able to control the Yellow Turban Army, and they themselves will rebel. ”

When Yang Feng thought of the great sage and good teacher, he suddenly had an understanding in his heart. The great sage and good teacher raised his arms at that time, and millions of people gathered to respond, not because of the great sage and good teacher's transcendent status like a fairy, but because everyone wanted to rebel. After the Battle of Yanmen Pass, although the officers and men of the Yellow Turban Army planted their hope in Bingzhou, as long as this hope was broken, no matter who it was, even Li Hong could not control the Yellow Turban Army, because in the bones of the Yellow Turban Army was rebellion.

Yang Feng looked at Zhang Yan and smiled slightly, there was no more mustard in his heart.

"What does the General think?" Zhang Yan asked, "This matter affects the whole body, if it is done well, it can rejuvenate the country, and if it is done badly, it can destroy the country." ”

"When there are two princes today, whether it is a big prince or a small prince, in the future, there will be the first eunuch power inside, and the dictatorship of the relatives outside, which will not benefit the Han Kingdom at all." Yang Feng sneered, "In my opinion, the general should follow the law of Yi Yin and Huo Guang, and don't set up a new monarch to protect the society and the world." ”

Zhang Yan glanced at Yang Feng and said in a low voice, "Qizhi, don't talk nonsense. ”

Xu Rong was stunned, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "The general said that the matter of the imperial unification is related to the safety of the society, and even today he does not dare to make a mistake easily, so there is no crisis so far." However, the general believes that now that the Han Dynasty is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and the disasters of war are continuous, and the stability of the country and the stability of the court is the first priority. ”

"Adults mean ......"

"Now the situation in northern Xinjiang is critical, and it will take several years to completely quell the rebellions of Xianbei, Xiongnu, Karasuma and Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun and recover the lost territory. In addition, it will take at least five years for the tuntian of the state to be slightly effective, and to ensure the smooth conquest of the army and the success of the tuntian of the state, it is necessary to have a stable country and a stable court, so ......" Xu Rong looked at the two of them and said in a low voice, "The northern Xinjiang is uneven, and the imperial rule is not established." ”

Zhang Yan and Yang Feng gasped, their expressions were very shocked.

"The Shogun threatens ......"

Zhang Yan hurriedly slapped Yang Feng and stopped him from blurting out a sentence.

"This year, wars in northern Xinjiang are frequent, and the imperial court is too busy to take care of itself, of course the Son of Heaven will not consider the emperor, but the fact that the Son of Heaven does not consider it does not mean that no one in Luoyang will pay attention to this matter. Therefore, before leaving the state, the general repeatedly instructed me to be sure to garrison troops in the east of the river. At present, there are floods in the seven counties of our Han Dynasty, and there are wars in the northern Xinjiang outside, and the people in the court are panicking, which is the most dangerous and easy time for Luoyang to have accidents. Xu Rong said, "The main force of the 80,000 Yellow Turban Army stationed in Hedong can pose a huge threat to Luoyang. ”

Zhang Yan and Yang Feng nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Yan asked, "Your Excellency just said that Hedong poses the greatest threat to us. What do you mean by that? Does anyone dare to invade Hedong? Are you worried about the remnants of the Huns and the Yellow Turbans of Baibo? ”

Xu Rong smiled: "Feiyan misunderstood. Hedong is an important place in Gyeonggi, very close to Chang'an and Luoyang, and is the throat of Bingzhou, and the benefits of salt and iron in Hedong are even more amazing. At present, the maintenance of military needs in the state and even the entire northern Xinjiang is completely dependent on it, and a large number of barren fields in Hedong are the fundamental solution to the military camp, so the importance of Hedong to us is self-evident. But now I have received news from Luoyang, saying that some people in Luoyang are worried that the huge power of General Zhenbei threatens Sheji, and some ministers have written to the Son of Heaven to ask for the northern army to be stationed in Hedong. If the Son of Heaven casually agrees without knowing the situation, it will bring great trouble to the state and even northern Xinjiang. ”

Yang Feng hurriedly said: "Since the adults are so worried, then I will immediately lead the army back to the Linfen camp without further ado." ”

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow you will lead the army to leave Yanmen Pass." In addition, I will write to Your Majesty and immediately move the Diannong Governor's Mansion to Anyi. In this way, there are 80,000 troops of the main force of the Yellow Turban Army under the command of the lord of Qi, the military tun led by Lord Zhang Baiqi, and the salt and iron under the command of Lord Xie Ming, so that Hedong is under our control. ”

In the early morning, Xu Rong, Zhang Yan and others stood on the gate of Yanmen and looked at the rising sun, whispering and laughing to each other.

Zhang Yan suddenly asked, "Brother Zilie, have you always believed that you can fight back to Yanmen Pass?" ”

"Nope." Xu Rong turned to face the generals, shook his head and said, "I don't know if I can take it back after I give up the Juzhu Fortress, I'm not sure." But I believe that as long as we work hard, there will always be hope. ”

Huang Ting smiled and said, "We are all worried, worried that we will not be able to defeat the Xianbei people, and even the whole army will be wiped out. But the self-confidence of adults gave us a lot of encouragement, and what adults said today made us very afraid. If the state is lost, we will be sinners for the ages. ”

Xu Rong smiled bitterly: "If everyone doesn't dare to take responsibility and don't dare to charge into battle, when will my Great Han Kingdom see the hope of revitalization?" When will the people of my Han Kingdom live a peaceful life? Look at those Xianbei Han slaves who died inside and outside the Guan, they were originally the people of my Han Dynasty, but who made them Han slaves? Who made them die on this battlefield? When we kill them, don't our hearts hurt and our hands tremble? This is our fault, not their fault, killing them is a shame for my Han soldiers, a shame for my Han country. The soldiers of the Han Dynasty should protect them, and the Han Kingdom should shelter them, but have we protected them? Did the Great Han Kingdom shelter them? Isn't their dying curse and hatred our sorrow? Our conscience, our responsibility, and the heavenly prestige of the Great Han Kingdom were all lost in this massacre. ”

Xu Rong pointed to the outside of the pass and said loudly: "When the general returns to the Yanmen Pass, it will be the day when we kill the outside of the Saiwai. ”

The generals were enthusiastic and agreed.

****

In June, Luoyang.

The news of the victory at Yanmen Pass caused a sensation in the Han Kingdom. When the Yellow Turban Army returned to Jinyang, it was welcomed by tens of thousands of people, and the people with tears cheered loudly, and the sound shook the sky.

In April, Li Hong's Northern Expeditionary Army defeated the rebels in Jicheng, in May the iron cavalry of Koyi defeated the Hun rebels in Guluocheng, and in June, Xu Rong and Zhang Yan commanded the Yellow Turban Army to defeat the Xianbei people.

The Yellow Turban Army changed from a rebel of the Han Kingdom to a hero guarding the border overnight, a huge contrast that was difficult for the subjects of the Han Kingdom to accept. In their documents, the Yellow Turban Army used General Zhenbei's Yellow Turban Army or the Yellow Turban Army of Leopards to distinguish the ant thieves who still raised troops to rebel in various parts of the Han Kingdom.

In order to escape the punishment of the Son of Heaven, Xu Rong and Zhang Yan deliberately concealed the fact of taking the initiative to give up Yanmen Pass in their good news, of course, Xu Rong alone took all the responsibility for the loss of Yanmen Pass. In order to prevent Guo Yun, the Taishou of Yanmen County, and Ding Yuan, the commander of Wumeng, from revealing the matter, the two specially visited Guo Yun and Ding Yuan and explained the matter to them in detail.

The Battle of Yanmen Pass not only severely damaged the Xianbei people but also recaptured the Juzhu Fortress intact, Guo Yun and Ding Yuan also won the battle merits, and the two naturally did not need to risk killing their heads to be impeached. Now the prestige of Zhenbei General Li Hong is not to say that they can't afford to offend, even His Majesty has to be afraid of three points. After the great victory, even if this disobedience to the holy decree is revealed, His Majesty will treat it as if he has not seen it. Can the Son of Heaven still ignore the will of the people of the world and forcibly kill two meritorious ministers?

Guo Yun and Ding Yuan were full of promises, and they sincerely said a lot of compliments such as admiration. Guo Yun said, I have fought with Xianbei people for decades, and this battle is the most joyful and exciting. To tell the truth, the two adults won this battle at great risk, and their courage and intelligence are so convincing that there are only a handful of people in the world who can compare with them. The two adults just don't explain this matter, and we will never write a letter of impeachment. The two adults inevitably underestimated Benguan and Master Ding too much.

The Son of Heaven doesn't care about these details, as long as Xu Rong and Zhang Yan win the Xianbei people and drive away the Xianbei people, the sentence note fortress doesn't need to fight, and there is no need to spend any more money, that's fine, the seal that should be sealed, and the reward that should be rewarded. Situ Xu Xiang, Sikong Ding Palace, and several adults in Shangshutai discussed it carefully, and said to the Son of Heaven, let's still be an official. Now that there is no money to pay military salaries, where is the money to reward hundreds of thousands of soldiers? If you are promoted to a knighthood, you can first comfort the generals of various ministries and stabilize the morale of the army. As for the rewards of the soldiers, the generals of the various ministries can use the spoils of war to temporarily replace them, and then replenish them when the court has money in the future. Although the officers of the various departments have been promoted and knighted, they have not actually gained any benefits, the original 2,000 stone is still 2,000 stone, and the original one has no food, and now the hundred officials inside and outside the court are halved, even if they have military merits, they are treated the same.

Huang Fu Song finally took the list of rewards and shook his head again and again. Li Hong and his subordinates fought hard in northern Xinjiang for more than a year, but the general was still a general, a lieutenant general was still a lieutenant, and a lieutenant was still a lieutenant. Only Yan Rou and Yang Feng were really promoted, and they were promoted from lieutenants to lieutenant generals, and more than a dozen lieutenants were also promoted to lieutenants, and the most promoted were lieutenants. The Son of Heaven agreed to the request of the commanders of the various departments, and promoted a group of military and other divisions to the rank of captain. Huangfu Song said to Lu Zhi, is this a good thing or a bad thing? According to this list of officers, General Zhenbei can form the Sixth Army. He now has six lieutenant generals under his command and dozens of lieutenants at all levels, how will he lead the army in the future? How many troops? Lu Zhi said that General Zhenbei's army now has the Hu people and the Yellow Turban Army as the main force of the infantry and cavalry armies. Except for Li Hong, who will these people listen to? To divide the army is to bring about trouble. The more battles the general of Zhenbei fought, the stronger his strength became, and the end of the future would not be lost, and sooner or later it would be a disaster for the Great Han Kingdom.

Han Fu said disapprerovingly, Lord Lu also looked up to Li Hong too much. What's the use of having more soldiers? Don't rely on the court to pay for food. In the future, if he becomes a hidden danger to the Great Han Kingdom, we will cut off his food and salary, and see how he harms the country.

Lu Zhi looked at him in surprise and asked rhetorically, if Li Hong is discharged with an army of 100,000, what will you do to stop him? Get paid?

Huangfu Song laughed. He pointed to Lu Zhi and said that Li Hong was loyal and brave, dedicated to the country, this kind of person has hard bones and soft hearts, and will not harm the big man. Lu Zhi said, he won't, but what about Your Majesty? What if Your Majesty forces him with a knife? There are also his subordinates, his subordinates are mixed, there are all kinds of people, even the captured Xianbei Xiaoshuai is his subordinate, can he withstand it? There are too many of his troops, and with the Yellow Turban Army, there are now more than 100,000 troops, even more than the sum of the other armies of the Great Han Kingdom. With so many troops in his hands, if something happens, who can stop him? When His Majesty asked him to sit in the northern frontier, we should not have agreed. Huangfu Song smiled bitterly, disagree? Don't agree? Have you forgotten what it was like? The general insisted on not entering the state to kill the Yellow Turban Army, who else can we use but him? Is it possible to let Zhang Yan occupy the annexed state and threaten Gyeonggi? What's more, for such a long time, we never thought that the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army would be raised to such a shocking level, did you think of today's consequences when you appeased the Yellow Turban Army?

Lu Zhi shook his head and said in disbelief, I don't understand, we have been fighting with the Yellow Turban Army for so long, how come we have never found that the Yellow Turban Army has such a strong army? 200,000 foot soldiers beat 80,000 iron horsemen, and they almost wiped out all the Xianbei people. If it weren't for the overall situation in northern Xinjiang, Tuoba Feng and Luo Luo would have died this time. In one year, the strength of the Yellow Turban Army has grown so amazingly, it is really unbelievable. Is it because of the fight with the Xianbei people, the morale is strong?

Huangfu Song was noncommittal. Don't think too much, the current situation in northern Xinjiang does require so many troops to solve the problem, and it will not work without it. When Li Hong finished all the battles in northern Xinjiang, his army would not have so many. It is better to meet his needs as much as possible first, so that he can stabilize the situation in northern Xinjiang in the shortest possible time, which is the most urgent problem of the Great Han Kingdom at present.

Lu Zhi smiled, too, I may be too worried. The situation in northern Xinjiang is so bad, and in order to completely solve the problem, it is necessary to fight outside the fortress. As long as Li Hong leads the army out of the fortress, all the problems can be solved, and even the affairs of the emperor can be solved together.

Han Fu and Xu Jing looked shocked. The latter asked hesitantly, can today's Great Han State still support Li Hong's battle out of the fortress? I'm afraid that before Li Hong's army reaches Yinshan, the Great Han Kingdom itself will collapse first. Huangfu Song sighed, five years, five years will be about the same. Five years later, the tuntian fields in Bingzhou began to bear fruit, and the grain and grass of the army could be solved nearby, and hundreds of thousands of people could also be solved nearby. Of course, the most important thing is that the country and the people of the Han Kingdom have been peaceful in the past few years, the wind and rain are smooth, and there is no disaster and no chaos, otherwise, I don't know what year it will drag on to the north.

The holy decree of the reward had just been sent away, and Xu Rong's urgent letter had arrived again. Xu Rong said that the Yellow Turbans in Montenegro are very rampant, and in recent times, taking advantage of the fact that the army is fighting in the Juzhu fortress, he has frequently gone down the mountain to harass him, and he needs to transfer the cavalry stationed in Hedong to Shangdang to suppress bandits, so there are no troops stationed in Hedong. Xu Rong said that there were only 40,000 Yellow Turban main forces left in Bingzhou, and the troops in the northern Xinjiang were seriously insufficient, so he implored the Son of Heaven to transfer all the remaining 50,000 Tuntian soldiers after the Battle of Yanmen Pass into the northern frontier army, so that they could garrison the east of the river while Tuntian, so as to accumulate strength for the army to fight in the future.

When the Son of Heaven heard that the Yellow Turban Army was stationed in Hedong, he was a little panicked, so he consulted several ministers of Shangshutai. Huang Fu Song immediately understood Xu Rong's thoughts when he saw Xu Rong's documents, and he said to Lu Zhi with a smile, There is such a person in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, what do you have to worry about? I can't be wrong about what I've said. Lu Zhi smiled and said nothing. Huangfu Song said to the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty, these Yellow Turban Army are all warriors who participated in the Battle of Yanmen Pass, and they are the elite of the Han army.

The Son of Heaven said that if there are 50,000 more border troops, it will cost 50,000 more border troops for military salaries and military supplies, and although there is no money to give now, there are high-sounding reasons to prevaricate, and when the treasury has money in the future, it will not be able to prevaricate. If Xu Rong must recruit them as border troops, then the military resources of the 50,000 army will be Xu Rong to take care of himself. Huangfu Song said angrily, Your Majesty, this is the army of the Great Han Kingdom, not Xu Rong's army, why should he take care of his own military resources? Where did he get the money? Didn't Your Majesty force him to be corrupt and pervert the law? The Son of Heaven said that the Zhenbei General's Mansion must be rich, and I issued an order this month to tell him not to fight a big battle, and to guard the pass with peace of mind, and also cut off his salary. But he not only fought a big battle, but also gathered 200,000 people to fight for six days, where did he get the money? Huangfu Song was about to argue, but was stopped by Lu Zhi. The Son of Heaven saw that no one spoke, so he immediately said, just do it, give an order to Xu Rong, and turn around and leave.

Huangfu Song glared at Lu Zhi and said, what are you stopping me for? Why don't you want me to speak? Lu Zhi said that His Majesty is right, the money in the Zhenbei General's Mansion is not a little bit more now, but a lot of money. Huangfu Song asked strangely, how do you know? Lu Zhi said, I listened to what the Hedong Wei Valve said. In the name of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, the guard lord built an ordnance manufacturing workshop in Anyi, and the last time he came to the capital to do business, he visited my mansion by the way, and he revealed a little bit to me during the chat. Huangfu Song asked suspiciously, where did Li Hong get a lot of money? Lu Zhi said that the most important thing in Bingzhou now is people, and it is easy to do things when there are many people. I heard that in the past six months, the craftsmen of iron ore and salt ponds in Taiyuan and Hedong have increased sharply, and the output has doubled several times. The more the output is, the cheaper the price, and the cheaper the businessman earns more, so the two places are now gathered by businessmen and the wealth is rolling.

Han Fu interjected and asked, what is the Zhenbei General's Mansion doing with hoarding a lot of money and ordnance? Could it be that Li Hong really wanted to go out of the jam immediately? Lu Zhi sighed, that idiot, what dare you not do? As long as he wants to do it, no one can stop him.

Han Fu said with a smile, Since the Zhenbei General's Mansion is so rich, I have thought of a solution that can solve the disaster-stricken people. Several people were overjoyed and hurriedly urged him to speak quickly. Recently, in order to solve the problem of refugees in the three states of Hebei, Yanqing and Qinghai, the ministers have racked their brains, and their brains have been broken.

Han Fu said that more than 600,000 refugees from Jizhou should be immediately relocated to Jizhou to Tuntian. Now the two counties of Taiyuan and Shangdang are very safe, and the Zhenbei General's Mansion has money, which can temporarily solve the problem of food and drink for the refugees. After the grain harvest in the two counties in October, the grain problem will be completely solved. Lu Zhi thought for a moment and hesitated, "Can the two counties of Taiyuan and Shangdang accommodate two million people? These 600,000 people arrived in the two counties, and once the Zhenbei General's Mansion could not be resolved, it might backfire, and it would destroy the results of the past Tuntian. This idea is too risky, and if it is not handled well, it will completely bury the northern Xinjiang. ”

Xu Jinglian said that it was good, and he said that when the state was at its best, it had a population of 2.2 million, and there would be absolutely no problem. Lu Zhi retorted, 2.2 million people? That includes the four northern counties outside the Seychelles. Now that the population of Taiyuan and Shangdang has reached the limit, if people are moved in, the two counties will be dragged down. Xu Jing said that the Zhenbei General's Mansion can move people to the east of the river again. However, at that time, the money for the relocated population was from the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and the Jizhou Mansion had nothing to do with the imperial court.

Huangfu Song sighed, this is also a helpless move, you can try it. The relocation of 600,000 people to the annexation of the prefecture can greatly alleviate the disaster relief pressure of the Jizhou capital and the imperial court. The most important thing is that without these 600,000 victims, the possibility of riots due to hunger will be much lower, and the larger population of Bingzhou will still be of great help to the border and tuntian.

Several ministers of Shangshutai discussed for a long time, and finally decided to move the population to the state. Of course, the Son of Heaven agreed, and he immediately issued an order to the Jizhou Prefecture to send 600,000 disaster victims to Bingzhou with all their might. An order was issued to Xu Rong of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Zhang Yan of the Pingnan Zhonglang General's Mansion, and Zhao Qi of the Hutian Commander's Mansion, and at the same time appointed Ding Yuan, the commander of Wumeng, as the assassin of the prefecture, and ordered the four prefectures to be jointly responsible for the resettlement of the victims.
