Jizhou Thorn Shi Ding Shao is a friend of Yue Shigong, Ding Miao's uncle, and a minister of the pillar stone of the Great Jin Dynasty in Hebei. Lu Yao met him on his way north to Dai County. Ding Shao had high hopes for Lu Yao's military operations in northern Xinjiang and gave strong support, not only sending his capable cavalry governor Liu Xuan to help in the battle, but also providing a large amount of ordnance and grain materials through Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun and other counties in northern Jizhou. More than half of Shao Xu's government affairs and operations in Dai County need to rely on Jizhou, and all kinds of cattle, farm tools, cloth, etc., are all taken from Jizhou. It can be said that without the support of Jizhou, Daijun would have no war potential to speak of.

However, is this Jizhou assassin critically ill? Lu Yao recalled the meeting with Ding Shao, at that time, this very bold feudal official did have a sick face, but Lu Yao only thought that it was because of the exhaustion caused by Shi Le's rebellion, and even Ding Miao didn't take it seriously.

However, it has only been three months since he went north to Daijun, how can he ...... Lu Yao immediately summoned Ding Miao, and asked the messenger to repeat the message. Ding Miao and Ding Shao had a deep relationship, and they were suddenly anxious. So the two did not hesitate any longer, led hundreds of cavalry, and rushed back to Daijun overnight.

From the grassland on the dam to Daijun, the mountain road circles along the way, and the terrain gradually decreases. Further south, rolling hills gradually replace majestic mountains, and patches of farmland gradually replace vast meadows. Around July, Daijun set off a raging war because of Lu Yao's advance, but as soon as Lu Yao's troops solved the Hu tribes in a devastating manner, there were not many abandoned fields; Second, Shao continued to supervise the agricultural affairs very effectively, and the people in the tuntian field organized by him quickly resumed production and devoted themselves to farming. Lu Yao and his entourage hurried along the newly renovated rammed earth road. On both sides of the road, you can often see patches of golden wheat fields, as well as continuous crops such as millet and millet. As the autumn wind blows, the plump ears of wheat rise and fall like waves.

The cultivation level in northern Xinjiang is lower than that in the Central Plains, and there is also a great lack of improved seeds, so the yield per mu is usually only one and a half to two stones. After deducting the rations and seeds of the peasants, the total amount that could be provided as military rations after the first harvest was about several thousand stones. Fortunately, Lu Yao plundered a lot of livestock several times, which could be slaughtered and eaten, and could also be used to exchange grain for various counties in Jizhou.

The question is...... If Ding Shao is seriously ill and can't serve as a director, will all parts of Jizhou be friendly with Daijun as always?

The people who were working in the fields saw the rushing cavalry from afar, and they all fell to the ground in fear. In some sections, there were also soldiers of the Daijun Army bowing or waving to salute, because some of the prisoners captured by the Daijun Army were not suitable for release, so they were formed in a unified formation to cultivate and serve, and those were responsible for monitoring the prisoners of hard labor. In normal times, Lu Yao might get off the horse to comfort the soldiers, and even talk to them about the harvest and relatives, but at the moment he really can't care too much, so he can only gallop by.

They moved so fast that they were not much worse than the banners of the outposts along the way. When it was three or five miles away from the Luochuan camp, Shao Xu, Chen Pei and others rushed out to greet them.

When Ding Miao saw Shao Xu, he didn't care about etiquette, and hurriedly stepped forward past Lu Yao, and asked with blood-red eyes, "Is the news accurate?" Can there be a messenger from Jizhou to report? ”

Shao Xu naturally knew what he was asking, and hurriedly said, "It was Jizhou Ding Tingshi who personally sent an envoy here. He casually pointed to an attaché: "Immediately take General Ding to meet the Jizhou envoy!" ”

Ding Miao dragged the attaché and ran away without a single foot, leaving Lu Yao, Shao Xu and the others far away.

Everyone then slowly followed, and Lu Yao also asked a little anxiously, "Shao Gong, how is Ding Shulun's situation?" What is the situation in Jizhou? ”

Shao Xu's face was serious, and he sighed: "Ding Shulun has often had heart diseases in recent years, and the pain is like a knife. Doctors say that there is no other way to solve this disease unless you recuperate. However, Shile thieves traveled back and forth between the north and south of the river, and the Jizhou County Guoyu Zheng galloped several police officers overnight, and finally forced him to help the sick director, and he could not afford to have a moment of leisure. Ten days ago, Ding Shulun suddenly fainted, and woke up in a faint for a few days...... According to the envoy sent to Daijun this time, he came to invite Ding Miao to go to Jizhou quickly, but he was afraid that he would ...... I'm afraid that Ding Shulun has some words to explain to his nephew......"

Lu Yao nodded with a heavy heart: "I understand...... The history of Ding Thorn and the kindness of my Daijun are not idle. Shao Gong, let's hurry up and prepare some things for application, if Ding Wenhao wants to go to Jizhou, we will also send a messenger to accompany us and present gifts to express condolences, how about it? ”

Shao Xu responded: "This is the principle of nature, I have sent someone to prepare gifts, just waiting for the lord to choose the person who will make the messenger." It's just ......" He paused and looked at Lu Yao's expression: "The reason why I sent the message three times to urge the general to return to Dai County is not only that the general needs to determine the person to condolence Ding Shulun. ”

Lu Yao was stunned: "What does Shao Gong mean?" ”

"In recent months, the main ones responsible for encircling and suppressing the Shile thieves are the troops of Yanzhou, Jizhou and Yecheng. Yanzhou Gou Xi only aims to cover Henan; Yecheng was newly mourned and weak; Therefore, the Ding Thorn History Department was actually the only one to contend with the Shi Le Thief Kou head-on, and the pressure was very huge. Just five or six days ago, Shi Le took advantage of the fact that the main general of the Jizhou army could not take care of the situation, raised an army of 50,000, known as 100,000, led by a number of fierce generals in the 'Eighteen Cavalry', and approached Guangzong. ”

Shi Le's method of using soldiers is clever, and Lu Yao has never dared to ignore it at all. He fought with the people in the "Eighteen Horsemen" many times, and knew that these people were thieves who could fight and were accustomed to fighting. After the Jizhou army lost the command of Ding Shao, it was really difficult to confront them.

Lu Yao frowned slightly, and when he was about to think about how to deal with it, Shao continued to say; "Yanzhou Gou Xi Tun Bing Puyang, originally sat and watched the situation in Hebei. This time, Shi Le raised troops, but he immediately reacted, gathered tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and sent a message to Jizhou County, claiming that he would cross the river to invite Shi Le to attack the flank of the thief army in order to solve the crisis in Hebei. In addition, although Wang Jun of Youzhou was greatly damaged after being defeated by the lord, he also reluctantly sent the general Qi Hong to lead thousands of elite horsemen to the south, claiming to exterminate Shile in one fell swoop. ”

Lu Yao smiled dumbly: "When Ding stabbed Shi Kangjian, they supported the army and respected themselves all day long, sitting and watching the thieves wreak havoc. Now that Ding has a history of illness, do they all want to show goodwill? He thought about it again, stopped suddenly, and suddenly understood what Shao Xu meant: "Fuck, as an important minister of the imperial court, he can be so insatiable and greedy as to this? Are these people trying to take the opportunity to plot against Jizhou? ”
