After Li Hong finished explaining the incident in Tuntian, Hedong, he immediately discussed with Li Wei and Xiaolan and his wife about the preparation for the construction of the Linfen Xingyuan of the Cheqi General's Mansion.

Li Hong said: The importance of Hedong to northern Xinjiang is self-evident, and you must not make any mistakes. During the expedition of the great army, as long as it is beneficial to the expedition and the northern frontier, you should let it go, and do not look ahead or backward.

Even if you violate the laws of the Han Dynasty, don't be afraid, I will bear all the blame. In addition, in addition to supervising the grain and grass for the army, and supervising the money and materials for the tuntian of Bingzhou, you must also find a way to recruit historical officials for northern Xinjiang.

I have a ten-year covenant with the Son of Heaven, and I must complete the Tuntian in Northern Xinjiang in these ten years, so you must recruit as many talents as possible for Northern Xinjiang.

Volume 1 Immediately Horizontal Gun Chapter 11 Whose Hand Killed the Deer Section 2

Li Hong led his army to Anyi City. Hanoi Taishou Wang Han, Changshi Sangyang, and Yantie Du Lieutenant Xie Ming went out of the city to greet them. After a brief exchange of pleasantries with them, Li Hong immediately talked about the expedition to the desert, and he begged Wang Han to ensure that the grain and grass transported from all over the Kanto to Hedong could be safely and quickly delivered to Jinyang. Wang Han said excitedly that it is really convincing that you can still go on an expedition to the desert and make contributions to the Han Kingdom under such an extremely difficult situation today. Your Excellency, please rest assured that you will go north, and the lower officials will do their best to ensure that the Yellow River and the Chi Road are unimpeded, and that the grain and grass transported to Hedong from all over the country will be delivered to Jinyang in the shortest possible time.

Li Hong thanked him repeatedly, and then talked to Wang Han and Sang Yang about the situation in Luoyang. Wang Han was very worried about the situation in Luoyang, he thought that Li Hong left in too much hurry and left in a hurry when everything in Luoyang was undecided. Li Hong didn't want to say anything, in his opinion, the general He Jin now has a heavy army, and the traitors have been driven out of the capital, Luoyang is in crisis, and it is just that the ministers of the scholar clan and the general are fighting for power and profit. Li Hong emphasized the instructions to Xie Ming, the commander of the salt and iron capital, and then said goodbye to everyone and continued to the north.

After the army arrived in Linfen, Shi Liwei, the general of the chariot cavalry, and Zhang Baiqi, the general of the Diannong Zhonglang, took a group of subordinates out of the city to greet them.

According to Li Hong's request, Xian Yufu and Zhang Yan recruited 100,000 adult males as Tuntian soldiers among the victims as quickly as possible. Now these 100,000 Tuntian recruits have been stationed in the Linfen camp, and will then rush to the Tuntian District on both sides of the Fen River. Li Hong inquired carefully about the situation, and then asked Zhang Baiqi to increase the training of this group of recruits as much as possible while ensuring the needs of Tuntian. At the same time, during the expedition of the army, he was ordered to take the 20,000 Tuntian veterans who stayed in Hedong to take care of the water and land roads to ensure unimpeded transportation.

"Do you want to bring these 100,000 Tuntian veterans to the outside of the Saiwai?" Zhang Baiqi asked.

"During the expedition of the army, I will temporarily call these 100,000 Tuntian veterans." Li Hong said, "Half of it is under the command of Lord Zhao Qi Zhao, who is responsible for garrisoning the counties south of the Great Wall and the fortresses such as Juzhu, Feihu, and Huguan, and half is under the command of Lord Wei Zhengwei, who is responsible for garrisoning the counties and border fortresses north of the Great Wall." After returning from the expedition, these 100,000 Tuntian veterans went directly to Tuntian in the area south of Hetao as a reserve source for the border army in northern Xinjiang. ”

After Li Hong finished explaining the incident in Tuntian, Hedong, he immediately discussed with Li Wei and Xiaolan and his wife about the preparation for the construction of the Linfen Xingyuan of the Cheqi General's Mansion. Li Hong said: The importance of Hedong to northern Xinjiang is self-evident, and you must not make any mistakes. During the expedition of the great army, as long as it is beneficial to the expedition and the northern frontier, you should let it go, and do not look ahead or backward. Even if you violate the laws of the Han Dynasty, don't be afraid, I will bear all the blame. In addition, in addition to supervising the grain and grass for the army, and supervising the money and materials for the tuntian of Bingzhou, you must also find a way to recruit historical officials for northern Xinjiang. I have a ten-year covenant with the Son of Heaven, and I must complete the Tuntian in Northern Xinjiang in these ten years, so you must recruit as many talents as possible for Northern Xinjiang.

Li Wei said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I will immediately go around in the name of the Cheqi General's Mansion to recruit virtuous people." It's just that northern Xinjiang is too poor and not many people are willing to come. ”

Li Hong sighed: "You do your best." After two years, the students of Jinyang University Hall will be successful in their studies, and there will be no shortage of officials in northern Xinjiang. ”

Li Wei nodded, and then asked Li Hong solemnly: "My lord, if there is a change in Luoyang, how much disposition power do I have?" ”

"You are in charge of Linfen Xingyuan, of course, you can handle all affairs outside the state." Li Hong said without hesitation, "You don't need to ask me or Lord Zhao, you can do whatever you want." ”

Li Hong stayed in Linfen for a day and then led his army into Jin. Hu Tian Zhonglang Zhao Qi, Bingzhou Assassin Shi Cai Yong, Taiyuan Taishou Xu Shao and other northern Xinjiang officials went out of the city to greet them. Seeing the three elders braving the scorching heat to greet each other ten miles outside the city, Li Hong was very moved and dismounted from afar to greet them. After entering the city, Li Hong and the adults discussed matters in Jinyang, the general's mansion. Zhao Qi, Cai Yong and others had already arranged all the affairs of the state, and Li Hong didn't say anything more, and then handed over 50,000 Tuntian soldiers to Zhao Qi.

The three adults never mentioned the matter of Li Hong's southward departure, and only talked about the merger of states. Zhao Qi said with a smile, after Lord Yang Qiyang was dismissed by the imperial court, he was immediately recommended by the lord to be the Taishou of the Shangdang, and when he arrived in Bingzhou, he saw that those victims were all driven by him from Jizhou, and he didn't know how to feel. Cai Yong said, what can he think, at most he complains about the general, can he still drive the victims back to Jizhou?

"At this time and that time, of course he will not drive the victims back again." Li Hong said with a smile, "Lord Yang is a contemporary Confucian, with a straightforward temperament, and he is also a prominent figure in the Yang valve in Beijing. He looked at Cai Yong, and then asked, "With his knowledge, Lord Cai will definitely invite him to Jinyang University Hall to teach, right?" ”

Zhao Qi, Cai Yong and Xu Shao looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Xu Shao sighed softly: "Your Excellency may be wrong. ”

Li Hong was secretly surprised when he saw that the three adults looked wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Boss, Lord Cai, Lord Xu, is there anything wrong with me doing this?" ”

Zhao Qi smiled helplessly: "My lord's recommendation of Lord Yang is for the consideration of Northern Xinjiang, there is nothing wrong with it, it is just us who are inappropriate." ”

"Personally?" Li Hong asked suspiciously, "Can the boss explain a little bit clearly?" ”

"There are a few of us who have a big disagreement with him in the scriptures," Zhao Qi hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It should be said that it is opposite, and it is actually not a matter ......of disagreement between us." ”

Li Hong's heart tightened, and he suddenly thought of the academic controversy that occurred in Luoyang when Xu Shao entered Beijing. The result of that controversy was that the Hongdu Gate run by the first emperor could not survive and was finally forced to dissolve, and the initiator was Mr. Xu Shaoxu, who was sitting opposite him. At that time, I was in Luoyang, and I still remember that academic trend vividly. Li Hong thought that the contradictions and antagonisms caused by the different academic views of the famous scholars and Confucians would affect the political affairs of Northern Xinjiang, and he immediately regretted it. Knowing this, he should have sent someone back to ask Zhao Qi before he played.

Cai Yong saw the chagrin on Li Hong's face, and hurriedly comforted: "This matter is a private matter between us, adults don't need to worry about it, and it will not affect the stability of the state." ”

"Bo Hao, this Jinyang University Hall is run by the imperial court, but what we teach today is ancient literature and scriptures, and we are talking about Huang Lao's technique, after Yang Qi Yang Wenbo knows about this, how can he give up." Zhao Qi said, "It is a trivial matter for him to impeach us, but it is a big matter to disrupt the state government and school." If there is a confrontation between the ancient and modern scriptures in the official schools of the prefecture, there will be contradictions and estrangements among officials at all levels who hold different academic views, and this will not be beneficial to the stability of the prefecture. ”

Li Hong didn't understand these scriptures, but he knew that he was doing something wrong, so he sat there and was depressed. Before leaving, he also poked a basket for Bingzhou. I really regret it.

Xu Shao smiled and said, "Lord Zhao is too worried. Since the day of the opening of Jinyang University Hall, the debate between the views of modern literature and classics and ancient literature and classics has not stopped for a moment among the scholars of Bingzhou. But I think the scholars and bureaucrats of the annexed states are very quiet, and they do not affect the governance of the annexed states because of their differences in scholarly views. Now that there is one more Yang Qi in the state, is this matter going to become complicated immediately? In my opinion, he does not have that qualification and ability. ”

Zhao Qi shook his hand and said, "General, you underestimate Yang Qi and the Yang valve behind him." Yuan Valve and Yang Valve are the most determined families of modern literature and classics in this dynasty. Their protégés are all over the world. If Yang Qi has to compete with us in Bingzhou, and he has to teach Jinwen and Jingxue in Jinyang University Hall, then things will be very troublesome. They are outnumbered, and they have a solid backing in the court, and it is difficult for us to fight him. ”

Li Hong remembered what Xu Shao had done in Luoyang, and hurriedly interjected: "Back in Luoyang, Lord Xu debated with all students in Taixue, and advocated the study of ancient scriptures, but the result was ......."

"That's why everyone worked together in order to bring down Hongdumen, so there are amazing words from Mr. Zijiang." Zhao Qi unceremoniously interrupted Li Hong's words, looked at Xu Shao and said, "After Yang Wenbo comes, will you argue with him again?" He can't argue with you alone, and he will definitely call a large group of people from the capital to deal with you. ”

Cai Yong, like Xu Shao, had a look of disdain, and he said to Li Hong disappreciatively: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is not to worry about." When you're tired, let's go home and rest. ”

Li Hong didn't understand why these celebrities and scholars were arguing about academic matters. Arguments are debates, but these people turn their academic contradictions into private hatreds, which in turn take to political affairs. Li Hong couldn't understand it, but he thought that there were three famous people in this dynasty, Zhao Qi, Cai Yong and Xu Shao, and Yang Qi couldn't turn the sky even if he had great ability.

Li Hong said to the three of them: "The Son of Heaven has decreed that the seat of the Cheqi General's Mansion will be arranged in Cloud City, so I will take away most of the history and family members in the mansion this time. ”

Zhao Qi sighed: "After the expedition to the desert, the army will not return to Jinyang? ”

"The boss should understand what I mean by handing over Jinyang Xingyuan to you." Li Hong said with a smile, "The three counties of Taiyuan, Shangdang and Xihe, under the governance of Lord Zhao, Lord Cai, Lord Xu, Lord Yang and Lord Cui, will definitely become the cornerstone of stabilizing Northern Xinjiang. ”

The four of them looked at each other speechlessly, and everything was silent.

"It's better if the army doesn't enter the Great Wall, lest the Son of Heaven and the imperial court always point the finger at you." Zhao Qi said, "In addition, I think General Zhang Yanzhang is very remarkable, and it is really surprising that he can take the initiative to give up control of Taiyuan and Shangdang counties." ”

"General Zhang's purpose is nothing more than to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, as long as we can do this, what is the need for the Yellow Turban Army to exist independently?" Li Hong said, "Today's situation in northern Xinjiang does not allow the Yellow Turban Army to continue to exist, especially when I and the Northern Xinjiang army are both north of the Great Wall, General Zhang's continued control of Taiyuan and Shangdang counties will directly threaten the security of Gyeonggi, which is very unfavorable to the expedition of the army." So I advised General Zhang to go north with me several times, and finally he agreed, and the original Yellow Turban Army generals did not raise any objections. ”

"General Zhang is indeed remarkable." Li Hong praised.

Li Hong got up to say goodbye, and the three of them then saw each other off.

As Li Hong walked, he said to the three of them: "Tomorrow, I will go to Jinyang University Hall to visit Mr. Wang." This time, I did not recommend Mr. Wang to the Son of Heaven as a county taishou, mainly because the scale of Jinyang University Hall is getting bigger and bigger, and it needs a respected big sacrificial wine to preside over the school, so I ......"

Li Hong looked at Zhao Qi, who was smiling, and continued: "I don't know if Mr. Wang is very dissatisfied with my approach. If so, I can play Your Majesty again and recommend him as the Taishou of Yunzhong County, and Lord Zuo can return to the Cheqi General's Mansion to take up his post. ”

"Quite the opposite." Zhao Qi said with a smile, "The last thing Mr. Wang wants to do is to enter the court as an official, and the thing he is most willing to do is to open a hall to teach, so he is very happy that you let him serve as the big sacrificial wine of Jinyang University Hall." Mr. Wang, who had never been an official in his life, was obsessed with studying like his father. Therefore, it is better not to disturb him. ”

Li Hong looked at Cai Yong and Xu Shao, and both of them nodded to indicate that Zhao Qi was right.

Li Hong said again: "Captain Pang De, the commander of the Black Panther Yi Cong Battalion, has been in love with Mr. Wang's little queen for a long time, and before the expedition, I plan to settle this family affair for Pang De, I don't know if it is suitable or not?" ”

Cai Yong suddenly remembered Zhao Yun when he heard this, and he couldn't help but suffocate in his heart, and his steps slowed down involuntarily.

Zhao Qi said: "I don't know if Mr. Wang's little daughter has ever been married, but I can help the adult ask." Bond? That's a tiger general. ”

At this time, Xu Shao, who was walking to the left of Li Hong, said: "I think it's very suitable. His little daughter is not married, and the adults can go and talk about it. ”

Li Hong was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed his hand, and asked the three of them: "I don't know which adult is willing to be the matchmaker?" ”

The three looked at each other. Cai Yong and Xu Shao pointed at Zhao Qi at the same time and said, "Of course it's the boss." ”

Li Hong hugged Xiaoyu and gently stroked Xiaoyu's delicate skin, almost moaning comfortably. Xiaoyu was tightly attached to Li Hong's body, and her beautiful little mouth kept talking in Li Hong's ear, as if she wanted to pour out all the lovesickness for several months. Li Hong suddenly asked, "Xiaoyu, are you willing to go with me to Saiwai?" ”

"Yes."

"Let's go to Cloudsdale." Li Hong said with a smile, "There is a very beautiful big lake near Cloud City called Shaling Lake. We have our home by the lake, do you think it will be? ”

Xiaoyu nodded gently.

On the third day, Li Hong arranged everything and led 50,000 Tuntian soldiers out of the city to the Juzhu fortress.

Not long after leaving the city, Li Hong saw Cai Yan in the crowd of people who were sending off along the way. Li Hong motioned for the guards to retreat to both sides, urged him to step forward, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”

Cai Yan blushed, muttered for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, Lord Zhao...... He...... All right? ”

Li Hong suddenly understood. He looked at Cai Yan and smiled: "Zilong is very good, do you have something for me to bring to him?" ”

Cai Yan took out a soap sac from his arms in a panic and handed it to Li Hong, then hurriedly gave Li Hong a salute, and disappeared into the crowd without looking back.

Sentence note fortress.

The fortress was full of food and baggage, and it was full of busy people, and countless horse-drawn carriages were shuttling through it. This is a transit place for grain and grass, and the military quarters of the expeditionary army are sent from here day and night.

Li Hong led the army without making any stops, and went directly out of the customs.

Guo Yun, the Taishou of Yanmen County, stood on top of Xiongguan, looking at the army that was gradually moving away, looking at the black panther battle flag that was getting more and more blurred, thinking of the expedition that was about to start, and his heart was full of emotion. Suddenly, Guo Yun raised his hand and roared: "Drumming...... Drum ...... Sending off the general ......"

Suddenly, the war drums sounded, and the earth-shattering drums were like thunder in the nine heavens, and they exploded between the mountains and mountains, and the momentum was magnificent.

"The Great Han Will Win ......"

On the fortress, tens of thousands of people chanted in unison, and a huge roar accompanied by the sound of earth-shaking drums resounded through the sky like a landslide and a crack.

Li Hong stood on the top of the mountain, looked at the majestic Yanmen Pass, listened to the drums and cheers like stormy waves, and couldn't help but feel full of pride and roar to the sky.

August 15, Youzhou.

Fenwu Zhonglang led Gongsun Zhan with 5,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers to suddenly kill Lu Longsai, quickly crossed the border, and went straight to the Xianbei Mushen tribe in the east. The tribal leader Su Li was not in a hurry, and while hastily organizing iron cavalry to resist the attack of the Han army, he sent people to ask for help from the Lord Micah and other surrounding tribes.

At the same time, Tian Kai, the captain of Yuyang, led 3,000 iron cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers out of Guangping City, quickly crossed Yanshan, and directly attacked Baitan City. The central Xianbei Baitan City defender Xiao Shuai burst out of the city to meet the battle, and was defeated in the first battle. Cracked Rainstorm immediately defended Baitan City and sent people to ask for help from the Lord Murong Feng.

After Murong Feng received the news of the Han army's sudden attack on Baitan City, he immediately called Xiong Ba.

"Is the army of leopards still here?" Murong Feng frowned, pointed to Hedong County on the map, and asked eagerly.

From the moment the leopard went out to attack the Xiongnu rebels, Murong Feng was worried that the leopard would take the opportunity to attack Xianbei, so he sent people to warn the great king Kuitou, Tuoba Feng and Luoluo several times, asking them to mobilize all their forces to closely monitor the movements of the Han army. But with the advent of the rainy season in the grassland, the leopard armies began to enter the recovered border counties one after another, and the leopards themselves led the main force south back to Jin, so this kind of monitoring was gradually relaxed. In addition, the change of the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the news of Luoyang's instability have long been spread to the Xianbei Kingdom, which made the king and the Xianbei tribes secretly breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the leopard no longer has a chance to attack Xianbei.

"My lord, the army of leopards is still in the area of Hedong and Jinyang, and there is no sign of going north." Xiong Ba said nervously, "But this news was half a month ago, and I don't know it now." ”

"Immediately hurry up and tell the king and the grassland tribes, and the Han people have begun to attack the Xianbei country." Murong Feng said loudly, "Order all the departments to immediately assemble in Huoyun Plain and quickly come to the aid of Danhan Mountain." ”

"My lord, Gongsun Chan and Tian Kai ......"

"It was a diversion attack by the Han army, and the main direction of attack was Xianbei in the north, and it was Danhan Mountain." Murong Feng sighed, "It's finally time to fight the leopard on the battlefield." ”
