………………………………………………………………………………

In December of the second year of Zhongping of the Han Dynasty (185 AD), General Wei, Marquis of Quanzhou, and Li Yi of Youzhou led an army of 50,000 and braved the wind and snow to return to Quanzhou City.

As the snow fell on the northern part of Xinjiang, all military operations became extremely difficult. Therefore, the motions of some generals under his command to continue to send troops to Lelang County, Xuansu County, and Zhuhu in Liaodong were naturally shelved.

Not only that, but the Xianbei army, which invaded the seven counties in the western part of Youzhou and Bingzhou, also disengaged from the Han army and withdrew from Han Xinjiang.

This year's Xianbei army invasion, the momentum is huge, but the results are very limited, three Xianbei a total of seven road army, only the invasion of the state boundary of the western Xianbei two armies can enter the territory of the Han Dynasty, but the central Xianbei and the eastern Xianbei of a total of five road army, but respectively by Guan Yu, Yue Fei, Kou Zhun, Liu Zheng and Gongsun Zhan and others led the army to block the north of the Great Wall, decades, Youzhou for the first time resisted the invasion of the Hu people in the north, so that the people spent a stable winter.

As a pastor of Youzhou, Li Yi received good news from various counties as soon as the Xianbei army retreated. The Wulu Xianbei army paid the price of 10,000 killed and more than 20,000 minor and serious injuries, and finally withdrew in disarray. On the other hand, the Fifth Route Han Army also paid a lot of price, with a total of 20,000 casualties, including more than 7,000 killed and 5,000 casualties. It was borne by the Youzhou army.

As the main army of Xianbei, Guan Yubu suffered the heaviest casualties, with more than 2,000 killed and more than 3,000 minor and serious injuries in more than a month of fierce fighting. The 10,000-strong army had nearly sixty percent casualties.

The heavy snow was not conducive to the conquest, but Li Yi's military operations in Liaodong did not stop there. This year's army in Liaodong expanded too quickly, and it was in the first half of the year. There were only thirty-five thousand troops. But at the end of the year, after the victory in Fanhan City, the Liaodong army plus the prisoners exceeded 200,000 people. Among them, there were 130,000 in the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, 30,000 rebels in Toucheng, and more than 40,000 prisoners.

Such a large army is obviously not what Li Yi needs. After the end of the war, Li Yi immediately began to reorganize the army.

First of all, from the 160,000 troops and more than 40,000 prisoners, he selected a total of 70,000 young and strong elite soldiers. 30,000 cavalry and 40,000 foot soldiers were formed.

Then, among the other 130,000 people, men over the age of 16 and under 40 were selected to form an army of 100,000 cantonments. They went to various parts of Liaodong to prepare for the start of a large-scale Tuntian operation in the coming year. Liaodong is the big granary of later generations, and the black soil is the most productive, and now it has won this fertile soil. Li Yi didn't want to waste it.

As for the remaining 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, Li Yi asked them all to quit the army and return to the field. Anyway, these people are basically locals of Liaodong, and they are easy to place.

After rectifying military affairs, Li Yi arranged military and political affairs in Liaodong. In terms of the army, Li Yi designated Zhang Jaw as the main general, Xun Di, Zhang Baiqi, Fang Bao, and Huang Xu as deputy generals, and led an army of 20,000 to be responsible for the defense of Liaodong County and Liaodong vassal states.

Li Yi privately looked for Zhang Jaw and clearly told him that in the last year or two, Liaodong's military operations were mainly defensive, and he stabilized his position first.

Of course, focusing on defense does not mean that it will not expand externally at all, as long as the timing is right, the Liaodong Army also needs to see the right time to attack and expand the territory of Liaodong. It's time for them to open their jaws.

In terms of government affairs, Li Yi appointed Xun Yu as the leader, supplemented by Guo Yuan, Wang Xiu, Xi Wei, Zhao Shang and others, and was responsible for the government affairs of Liaodong County and Liaodong vassal states. Li Yi specifically pointed out that Guoyuan was responsible for the reclamation of the 100,000-strong army in Liaodong. After all, Guoyuan is famous for Tuntian in history, and although he is still relatively young now, Li Yi believes that as long as he is given enough opportunities and time, his potential can still be explored.

As for Xun Yu, he is usually the chief person in charge of the government affairs of the two counties in Liaodong, but once there is a war, he still has to take on the responsibility of the military division of the Liaodong Army. After all, although Zhang Jaw has some strategies, after all, what he is good at is not giving advice.

Li Yi believes that with Xun Yu and Zhang Jaw as Wen Yiwu in Liaodong, plus 20,000 troops and 100,000 tunken troops, Liaodong will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Subsequently, Li Yicai led 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers to brave the wind and snow and march westward and return to Quanzhou.

The troops were dispatched in early April and returned in early December, which was more than half a year, which made Li Yi, who was gradually approaching Quanzhou, feel a sense of homesickness. I wonder if my mother's health is okay? The marriage has been postponed, will Yan'er be angry? What about the development of dozens of counties in five counties?

In the past six months, although there are often carrier pigeons delivering letters to their families and various situations in the five western counties, after all, they are thousands of miles away and have not seen it with their own eyes, and Li Yi always has some apprehension in his heart.

However, when Quanzhou City appeared in Li Yi's eyes, everything was let go by Li Yi. Especially the few women standing in the wind and snow, which made Li Yi's heart surge.

There is no doubt that standing at the forefront of everyone is Li Yi's mother Xun and his fiancée Cai Yan. Behind them is a group of military generals who stayed behind.

Among the crowd, Li Yi also saw Zou Lin, a girl. Originally, after Li Yi helped him redeem herself, she was Li Yi's maid. But this time on the expedition to Liaodong, Li Yi could not take a woman in the army, so he left Zou Lin in Quanzhou to serve his mother Xun. Now, she is standing behind her mother Xun. Standing side by side with her was a strange girl about her age and appearance.

Li Yi greeted his mother Xun first, and then walked in front of Cai Yan.

Originally, Cai Yan had a lot of opinions about Li Yi leading the army to postpone their marriage. But now when Li Yi appeared in front of her, all the dissatisfaction was thrown out of the clouds by her, and only joy was left in her heart. Especially after hearing Li Yi's apologetic apology, she cried with joy. If it weren't for the fact that before the army here, there were many civil and military forces in Youzhou, Cai Yan couldn't help but throw himself into Li Yi's arms.

After meeting with the left-behind civil and military forces led by Kou Zhun, Li Yi returned to the General's Mansion with his mother. As for the army, it was arranged by Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others.

And Li Yi, who returned to the General's Mansion, also knew the name of another strange girl who was following her mother. The girl's surname is Bian, and the small character Yuer is a native of Langya, Xuzhou. Their family has been an advocate for generations, well, the elegant way of saying it is called a literary family, and to put it mildly, it is a courtesan family.

Originally, the Bian family had been wandering around Qingxu Erzhou, making a living as an artist. However, at the beginning of this year, the rebellion of the Yellow Turban remnants broke out in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which greatly affected the business of the Bian family, and life was very difficult.

In an unexpected situation, Bian Yuer's father Bian Yuan heard that Youzhou in northern Xinjiang was very stable and prosperous under the governance of the former general Li Yi at that time, so he took his family north to Youzhou.

After coming to Youzhou, Bian Yuan found that this place was indeed a happy land, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and all industries were prosperous, so he decided to tour the counties of Youzhou.

When the performance group of the Bian family came to Quanzhou, it was deeply loved by the old lady of the General's Mansion, and invited the Bian family performance group to perform in the General's Mansion many times. After coming and going, the old lady fell in love with the pillar of the Bian family's performance group, the eighteen-year-old Bian Yuer.

As an old oilman who traveled south and north, Bian Yuan's vision is naturally extraordinary, and he knows that if his family can get in touch with the former general's mansion, it will be much better than his hard work to run the Bian family's performance group. Therefore, Bian Yuer was directly given to the old lady as a maid, and the Bian family also settled in Quanzhou City.

After learning the girl's name and family situation, Li Yi was dumbfounded, as if there were 100,000 divine beast alpacas running wildly in his heart.

As a traveler in later generations, and Li Yi, who has a certain understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms, how could he not know what the identity of this Bian Yuer is? What's more, she also knows that her father's name is Bian Yuan, and her younger brother's name is Bian Bing. This is the Empress Wuxuan Bian of Cao Wei in the back road, that is, the main palace of Cao Hou, the wife of Cao Wei, the wife of Cao Pi, the wife of Cao Pi, the founding emperor of Cao Wei.

It's just that what makes Li Yi a little puzzled is that this Bian Yu'er and Empress Wuxuan Bian seem to be a little different in age. He remembered that the time when Empress Wu Xuanbian was born, although various historical records are different, but it was roughly around 160 AD, and now she should be more than twenty years old, how can she be only eighteen years old?

However, when it comes to Bian's age, the records of various historical classics are contradictory. It's like "Three Kingdoms. The record in the Book of Wei first said that Bian was born in December of the third year of Yanxi, that is, in December 160 AD, but then said that she was accepted as a concubine by Cao Cao, who was idle at home in Qian County, when she was twenty years old. According to records, Cao Cao resigned from his post as the Taishou of Dongjun and returned to his hometown in the winter of 186 AD. In this way, Bian was already twenty-seven years old at that time, and it was completely incompatible with her marrying Cao Cao at the age of twenty.

And considering the fact that Cao Pi was born in the winter of 187 AD, it is credible that Bian married Cao Cao in the winter of 186 AD. So in this way, it is completely impossible for Bian to be born in December of the third year of Yanxi.

Besides, there are almost no girls who marry at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen in this era, if it is true that Bian was born in 160, where can he wait to marry Cao Cao in 186?

However, now Li Yi doesn't have to worry about these things, because this beauty has come to work as a maid for her mother, is it possible to let her marry Cao Cao?

Li Yi was so happy in his heart, he accidentally dug the corner of his wife Cao, and directly dug his wife, is there anything more happier than this? (To be continued.) )
