The news that Guo Wei brought back was not joyful. According to Guo Wei, after chasing Meng Zhixiang to the river that day and shooting an arrow into the river, although the Wanzhou army searched for it in many ways, the armor soldiers who were familiar with the water even dived under the water to check it, but they could not find Meng Zhixiang's person.

Li Congjing was a little surprised, he didn't expect Meng Zhixiang's final ending to be a dead and dead body, but he didn't mean to blame Guo Wei, if Guo Wei was right, the arrow he shot into Meng Zhixiang's heart in the end was enough to seriously injure Meng Zhixiang, and now that the river is cold, even if Meng Zhixiang falls into the river, even if he is taken away by the river, the possibility of surviving is very small.

"The last general has ordered the Wanzhou army to explore down the river, if Meng Zhixiang is not buried in the belly of the fish, the body should be found soon."

Guo Wei said with some shame in the end.

Li Congjing comforted Guo Wei and signaled that he didn't have to worry about it.

Although Meng Zhixiang fell into the river and was missing, Su Yuan, who fled with him, was brought back.

When Guo Wei asked Li Congjing if he wanted to see Su Yuan, Li Congjing just shook his head slightly, waved his hand and motioned to press him directly into prison, and then he could deal with the guilty Xichuan officials in the future.

In Li Congjing's eyes, Su Yuan is just a rebellious minister and thief who wants to rely on Meng Zhixiang and fly Huang Tengda, Li Congjing has no interest in seeing him, and he has no value in accepting Li Congjing's summons.

However, Meng Yanyi heard that Guo Wei was back, and hurriedly ran to inquire about Meng Zhixiang's whereabouts, after learning the news that Meng Zhixiang's life and death were unknown, Meng Yanyi's expression couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.

Meng Zhixiang's family members have all been taken into custody and are only waiting to be questioned in the future, but Meng Yanyi is not among them.

It's not that Li Congjing has different thoughts about her and does official and private affairs, on the contrary, he didn't ask Meng Yanyi's sin, which stemmed from official business.

When Zhao Jiliang entered the city to persuade Meng Zhixiang to surrender, he had told Meng Chang of Meng Yanyi's whereabouts, and then everyone in the city knew that Meng Yanyi was ashamed of Meng Zhixiang's treason, and took the initiative to take refuge in Wang Shi and kill his relatives to crusade against him, this incident did have a great impact on the morale of the army and people in Chengdu, Li Congjing can't attribute Meng Yanyi to Meng Zhixiang's treason now, not only that, but under normal circumstances, the imperial court will also give him a commendation to show righteousness and benevolence.

In this way, Meng Yanyi became the only one in the Meng clan who survived, or survived.

Meng Zhixiang naturally still has to look for it, although he has nothing, but if he wants to see people alive and die, he needs him to end the treason of Xichuan.

After Meng Yanyi left in despair, Li Congjing immediately sent an order to the fifth girl and asked the Military Intelligence Department to deal with this matter - the Wanzhou Army was recalled by Li Congjing's order, and they had other arrangements.

In the next few days, Li Congjing led the two sets of military and political teams, focusing on restoring local order in Fù and Liangchuan and carrying out the work of rebuilding civil affairs.

The first thing is to temporarily distribute the forbidden army to various places.

This was a prerequisite for the commencement of other affairs, and the presence of an army to control the localities was necessary to ensure that the measures of the empire could be carried out in various places.

The situation was roughly as follows: the Longxiang army of the Hengchong army and the old Dongchuan soldiers who had changed their course were stationed in Dongchuan, with Gao Xingzhou stationed in Zizhou, Wang Hui as the deputy, and Huang Fulin stationed in Jianzhou.

The Hundred Battles Tiger Guard Feiyun Army was stationed in Xichuan, of which the Hundred Battles Army was stationed in Chengdu, the Tiger Guard Army was stationed in Hanzhou, and the Feiyun Army was stationed in Jianzhou.

Under such circumstances, each army was divided into corresponding units and stationed in various prefectures and counties and important military towns to serve Li Congjing's subsequent adjustment of defense in various places.

In addition, the grain and grass logistics of various armies are provided by the local prefectures and counties.

The second thing is that, according to the imperial court's policy, new soldiers were recruited into the army in various places, and local defenses were rebuilt, and the local forbidden armies were responsible for training.

After the training of the new soldiers, the soldiers were selected from the forbidden army to serve as the main generals of the new army, responsible for guarding the place, and the elite from the new soldiers were selected to supplement the various departments of the forbidden army.

For the prefectures and counties that voluntarily surrendered, their original armies were not reorganized for the time being, but there were forbidden troops to inspect military affairs, and at the same time, the number of troops must be ensured to meet the regulations of the imperial court, and the streamlined soldiers were all dismissed and returned to their hometowns.

The third thing is to assign civilian officials to the main official positions in the prefectures and counties, and to take over the authority of the prefectures and counties, and these officials go with the forbidden army who go to various places.

The prefectures and counties that surrendered voluntarily in Shuzhong did not replace their prefectures and counties for the time being, but there were also court officials who went to inspect government affairs.

The fourth thing is to implement the policy of the New Deal in various places.

The implementation of these four things can ensure the absolute control of the imperial court over the two rivers, stabilize the order of the two rivers in a short period of time, and achieve the purpose of rebuilding the two rivers.

As for the feudal town army, there is no reason to stay in Shu for a long time, and after resting, they will return to the domain town - this also means that the feudal town army will be the first batch of "class divisions"

of the king's teacher.

As for the aftermath of the war, including the statistics and commendation of casualties and military exploits, they have been carried out in an orderly manner, and they are still in the process of being reported to the imperial court.

The martyrs' cemeteries in various places have also begun to be built, and Li Congjing has made clear instructions during this period, and the sites of several important battles, such as the battle of Jianmen Pass of the Jingnan Army, the battle of Wuxin Army, the battle of Suizhou, the battle of Junzidu, the battle of Longmen Mountain, and the battle of Xuanwu of the Hundred Battles Army, should be properly protected, and the supporting cemetery should be built in a grand manner.

The war in Shuzhong was a disaster for the two rivers, in the later stage of the war, Dongchuan and Xichuan had done their best, Li Shaobin and Meng Zhixiang all had the move to disperse the treasury and family wealth, but in fact, the Liangchuan treasury still had a lot of assets, which means that Dongchuan and Xichuan were not like Li Shaobin and Meng Zhixiang in the war, and they had done their best to reward the soldiers.

This is also very understandable, Li Shaobin and Meng Zhixiang's kind of style of scattering all their family wealth is just to win people's hearts.

After such a war, the Liangchuan Treasury still had spare strength, and Li Congjing had to sigh at the wealth of Shuzhong.

——After Guo Chongtao destroyed the Shu Kingdom, although a lot of assets in Shu were transported to Luoyang, it was only the tip of the iceberg, and more of them were kept by Meng Zhixiang and diverted for his own use.

At that time, the Luoyang Incident, the imperial court had no time to take care of it, and Li Siyuan ordered to continue to transport wealth from Xichuan to Luoyang after succeeding to the throne, but Meng Zhixiang was all yin and yang.

Now this surplus wealth is still in the hands of the imperial court.

However, Li Congjing had no intention of transporting them all back to Luoyang, and he sent a letter to Li Siyuan, asking to leave these assets for the reconstruction of Shuzhong.

There are two reasons for this.

First, after conquering the two rivers, a large amount of money was transported from Shu, which was suspected of sucking blood, and leaving the assets for the reconstruction of the two rivers, which was conducive to the return of the people of the two rivers.

Second, the blood transfusion of Shuzhong for the empire is a long-term process, and it should be farther away, and rebuilding Shuzhong first will also help Shuzhong provide more blood for the empire in the future.

Li Congjing after the war is no different from Li Congjing during the war, he is still busy every day, and even busy, but Li Congjing is not slack, he is energetic every day, and he seems to be full of vitality.

The cold winter is coming as expected, many of the higher mountainous areas have snowed, Chengdu is just cold, there is no sign of snow, in the end it is a basin, it is cold and not as cold as Luoyang, not to mention compared with Youzhou, at this time of year, Youzhou has already been covered with snow.

Tonight's wind is a little strong, constantly beating the window, the angry roar is like a galloping horse, Li Congjing was woken up by the wind in his sleep, his eyes were not closed for a long time, he felt the cold of winter, and couldn't help but think of the peach who was running around in the Northern Desert at this time, and suddenly felt very worried.

I don't know what this girl is doing when she goes to Khitan at this time, Li Congjing can't figure it out for a while.

He recalled the scene in Youzhou with Tao Xiaoxiao a few years ago, and suddenly remembered that bitter cold borderland, and the beautiful scenery after the snow on the Great Wall will never be forgotten for a lifetime.

It wasn't until the sound of rain hitting the tiles on the roof that Li Congjing realized that he had lost much sleep.

Before he decided to get up and go through the papers, he noticed a figure outside the door, and then there was a small conversation outside, it was Dong Xiaowan and someone talking.

Immediately, Dong Xiaowan came to the door of the inner room softly and called in a low voice: "Handsome, handsome." ”

"What?"

Li Congjing sat up and asked, in the middle of the night, the third watch is like this, what will be the matter that must disturb him at this time?

"The Fifth Commander asks to see you."

Dong Xiaowan said.

"Let her in."

Li Congjing put on a white fox mink fur and got up from the bed, Dong Xiaowan hurriedly came in to light the candle and bring a hand stove for Li Congjing.

The fifth girl had traces of rain on her shoulders, and the corners of her skirt were even more **, her face was a little stern, and she came forward to salute and said, "There are officials in the city who died in the house." ”

This is much worse news than the storm!

How can a good official die, especially when the war has just ended, and order is being restored everywhere?

"Suicide, he killed? Who died? ”

Li Congjing's brows tightened.

"The original assassin Shifu recorded that he joined the army and hanged himself from the hanging beam."

The fifth girl was almost a word for word.

Yizhou is Shangzhou, there is a record of one person who joined the army, from the seven grades, don't seem to be high, but he is the first person under Shi Sima, the commander of the assassin history, and he can be called an extraordinary person in a state.

There are not many crimes in joining the army, this record is not the object of Li Congjing's punishment, after the city of Chengdu was broken, his attitude was very good, and he was quite talented, in the case that high-ranking officials such as Shi Sima and other high-ranking officials had to be punished, Li Congjing originally had the intention of promoting and reusing him, how could he hang himself at home for no reason now?

The wind and rain outside the window were louder, and there seemed to be an inexplicable murderous intent hidden in the yin wind and fury, Li Congjing didn't plan to sit in the room, he stood up and "go"

The fifth girl did not refuse, it was not a trivial matter to join the army and die, Li Congjing did not avoid the wind and rain and went overnight to find out what he meant to show that he valued the officials in Chengdu, and she couldn't dissuade her.

However, something went wrong, in order to protect Li Congjing's thoughtfulness, the fifth girl ordered a lot of escort forces, and also notified Meng Songbai, who was not on duty, to accompany her.

Before Li Congjing and the fifth girl left the mansion, a sharp soldier from the military intelligence department broke through the rain curtain and hurriedly reported, "Report to the fifth commander of the marshal, the former assassin of the history of the mansion Si Cang, who participated in the military, was also found hanged in the mansion!" ”
