The meeting ended, and the days of the business were idle again.

The military and political rectification is all over, and the government affairs are controlled by Deng Yan, with the assistance of Xun, Yan Xie, Yang Yi and others, so there is no need to worry about Shang Ji at all. A few people properly governed the entire Pingzhou.

Militarily, the training work has come to an end, and the rest of the finishing work can be easily done in shifts, and there is no need for Shang Ji to come forward in person. Shang Ji is now occasionally pulled by Huangyang Dao and Deng Mu to get busy with the marriage, and the rest are quietly waiting for the marriage.

The merchants are idle, but some people are unlucky!

The "express statement" of Shang Ji at the meeting completely ignited the passion of all the generals, and everyone was gearing up and taking turns to take people to the border to "suppress bandits!" ”

And the main victims of the "suppression of bandits" are the eastern Xianbei and Gongsun Du!

For Xianbei, the Shang army didn't even bother to do the most basic cover-up, and often thousands of elite horsemen went deep alone, killed a small Yiluo, and then returned with rich booty.

It is good that the Xianbei people do not pursue, once they pursue, the heavy army group that is ready to attack on the border will immediately attack and wipe out the Xianbei people who dare to resist on the way to pursuit.

Relying on superior army quality and convenient means of communication, several top generals took turns to lead a small number of elite troops to conquer within Xianbei.

And the eastern Xianbei lacks heavyweights, there is no leader who can dominate the overall situation, and even if they are barely united temporarily, the alliance is quickly broken down for various reasons. And the really weighty Kebi Neng and Budugen in the Xianbei Alliance are in full swing, and they don't have time to care about these things in the eastern Xianbei!

The eastern Xianbei, who was ruthlessly cleaned up by the army, simply gritted his teeth and directly moved the entire territory backwards for thousands of miles, and was forced to adopt the turtle shrinkage strategy of "can't beat it", and the Xianbei people, as nomads, do not value the land very seriously.

However, the migration process was also very unsmooth, and a large number of cattle and sheep wealth and Xianbei people were looted by Liu Yi and them. Combined with the losses on the way, the population and wealth lost in a short period of time in the eastern Xianbei exceeded 20% of the total!

The captured Xianbei troops were all crammed into the increasingly large prisoner of war camps and went to work as coolies in the engineering team. As for the ordinary Xianbei herdsmen, Shang Ji was not too harsh, and was baptized by large-scale naturalization through the Yanhuang Temple, and then dispersed into various places to enrich the population.

If Eastern Xianbei is resentment, then Gongsun Du is sad and indignant!

In the interior, the Pingzhou Army still restrained somewhat, and at least crossed the border in the name of chasing bandits.

In fact, it can't be called crossing the border, after all, Lelang County also belongs to Pingzhou, although Gongsun Du is temporarily in a state of separation, but all parties are not as good as Shang Ji's Gongsun Du can only endure it.

This reflects the benefits of righteousness, Pingzhou sent a small number of troops to "cross the border to arrest thieves", Gongsun Du didn't find it, even if he found it, there was nothing he could do.

He even had to send someone to comfort the army who came to help suppress it!

Of course, Gongsun Du was not without petty tricks, he directly sent an elite army to disguise himself as bandits, and fought a secret battle with the Pingzhou army that came to arrest the thieves.

However, after a battle of 10,000 people, Gongsun Du became more honest!

Without him, Lelang County returned in a fiasco, and the six thousand elite troops were quickly defeated by the three thousand Lieyang Cavalry led by Tai Shici.

After that battle, Gongsun Du completely ignored the Pingzhou army's anti-theft, but ordered several important towns handed over to Liaodong and Xuansu to strengthen their garrisons, and always pay attention to the movements on the opposite side.

Before Shang Ji's wedding, Tai Shici and they also knew how to be measured, and they didn't dare to go too far. Although the army repeatedly ran rampant on the edge of Lelang County, it did not attack any of the cities. This disappointed many wall-riding factions, and they were still waiting for the Pingzhou army to surrender when the city was attacked!

Gongsun Du's control of Lelang was not strict, and Shang Ji spent three months of hard work, with Liaodong as the root base, with the support of many powerful generals, and millions of elite troops to rely on, plus the name of righteousness in hand. It still suppressed dozens of rebellions, invested huge sums of money, deposed thousands of officials, and disbanded nearly half of the army before it could be considered to consolidate its rule over Pingzhou.

And Gongsun Du has nothing but a righteous name and Dong Zhuo's secret support!

And Dong Zhuo is too far away from Lelang, except for all kinds of ethereal promises, there is no fart! Dong Zhuo himself is still short of real money, and it is impossible for his brain to enter water to support a Gongsun Du who can't beat with eight poles! In this case, Gongsun Du was able to gain a firm foothold in Lelang and initially stabilized the overall situation, which was enough to reflect the prestige of the overlord of Liaodong in history.

However, he can do this at most, through various compromise deals with the local local forces, among the more than ten big cities in Lelang, he can exercise less than seventy percent of the actual ruling power!

The strength is not as good as others, and there are still many contradictions within him, Gongsun Du can only shrink his head and be a turtle, and he should only be blind to the ravages of the Pingzhou army!

The Pingzhou Army did not go too far, and even started the real "cross-border suppression of bandits" in the later period, constantly sending a small number of elite troops to eliminate bandits, and then expanding the Pingzhou Engineering Battalion!

Time passed quietly, and Xiangping City gradually began to be lively.

All kinds of people and horses continue to emerge in Xiangping, posing a serious threat to the public security situation in Xiangping. Shang Ji sent all the idle shadow clothes and secret weapons out to monitor the movements of Xiangping City, and at the same time sent an additional 100,000 soldiers to Xiangping, and at least two top generals took turns to be on duty in Xiangping to help control law and order.

In addition, the number of Heroic Spirit Warriors accumulated in the Yanhuang Temple has exceeded 20,000, and these Immortal Warriors who will not get tired are the best guardians of the city, the tireless defenders of Xiangping City.

Generally speaking, although there are a few small chaos, the impact is not serious, even if the unruly rangers are suppressed by Wang Yue, few people dare to spread wild in Xiangping!

"Brother Xu, although this Xiangping City is not as prosperous as the inland prefectures and counties, the people are healthy, harmonious and stable, which is rare in the mainland!"

The two men walked side by side, walking on the streets of Xiangping, looking at the pedestrians on the street, and talking softly.

The man who was called Brother Xu nodded and said, "Yes, what Brother Ge said is very true!" ”

"I have traveled south and north, wandering for half a life, and I am also well-informed, but it is really rare for people like Xiangping to live in peace and a vibrant city!"

"Yes, it is extreme, although the inland prefectures and counties are more prosperous than Xiangping, but there has always been no shortage of ragged beggars in the city, and now they are worth the moth thief, and the people are scattered. The city seems to be boiling oil with flowers, but the twilight is deep, far inferior to Xiangping! ”

When the man surnamed Ge spoke, he didn't notice the embarrassed look on Brother Xu's face when he mentioned that the yellow scarf was a disaster, and he still spoke with great interest: "Brother Xu, look, in this Xiangping, strangers and non-strangers live in harmony, and there is no contradiction between them, I have only seen such scenes here!" ”

The conflict between the Inhumans and the aborigines first originated from the prejudice set by the system, and later because the players' thoughts, cultures, and behaviors were very different from the aborigines, which led to deeper contradictions. Nowadays, although some aborigines have accepted Inhumans, and some players have integrated into the aborigines, the overall situation is still full of contradictions!

In Pingzhou, this contradiction still exists, but compared with other places, because of the identity of the Shang Yi people, the aborigines have a higher degree of acceptance of the Yi people. And Xiangping is a state governance, and the requirements are more stringent, even if the strangers are honest in Xiangping City, they dare not easily violate the laws and regulations of Pingzhou.

"The name of the merchant envoy Jun is really worthy of his reputation, and in half a year, the construction of a partial city outside the city will be impressive!"

"Indeed, the merchant envoy Jun Wu can be an Ansheji, and Wen can comfort Li Min, he is really a great virtuous minister of the Han Dynasty!"

The man surnamed Xu was moved in his heart when he heard this, and said, "How?" Brother Ge intends to defect to the merchant envoy and make contributions in Pingzhou? ”

"Dissatisfied with Brother Xu, I have an old childhood friend, and now he is working under the merchant envoy, and it was he who wrote to me a few days ago, inviting me to come to Pingzhou. It also happened that the envoy held the world's first martial arts conference, so I came to join in the fun, if nothing else, I might have to stay in Pingzhou. ”

As he spoke, the man surnamed Ge glanced at Brother Xu and continued: "I see that Brother Xu is extraordinary, knowledgeable, and his views on the military formation are even more admirable. Does Brother Xu also intend to be a career in Pingzhou? ”

The man surnamed Ge was the target of Tai Shici's personal letter to solicit, while the other man surnamed Xu was the Yellow Turban man who made up his mind to leave the Yellow Turban Army. The two happened to meet on the way to Xiangping. When the words are very compatible, they meet and walk together.

After getting along these days, the two also have a superficial understanding of each other, knowing that each other is a rare strong general in the world. Because of Tai Shici, the man surnamed Ge already regarded himself as half of Pingzhou, and he also had the heart to help Shang Ji recruit some talents.

Brother Xu hesitated and nodded: "I do intend to be a leader, but if the heroes gather in Xiangping today, I want to take another look and observe the world's heroes up close before making a decision." ”

"Hahaha, Brother Ge is very true, as the saying goes, the king chooses the minister and the minister, and the party is a lifelong thing, and you really need to be cautious!" The man surnamed Ge didn't mind Brother Xu's rejection, and said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, I wonder if Brother Xu has a place to stay in Xiangping? Why don't you go and stay in my little home for a while? ”

"The surname Ge has good intentions, and I heard that the merchant envoy Jun has set up a recruitment hall in Xiangping. Anyone who signs up for the Heavenly First Martial Arts Conference can stay for free. Xu also wants to see the heroes of the world, and the recruitment hall is a good opportunity! ”

"Well, since Brother Xu already has a plan in his heart, then I can't force it. This is my small address, Brother Ge, let's take it first. He still has two points of status in Pingzhou, and if Brother Xu encounters any trouble, he can come to my brother for help. I'm going to catch up with my brother, and I'll go to the Zhaoxian Hall to find Brother Xu one day! ”

Brother Xu took a piece of paper handed by the man, solemnly put it away, and arched his hand and said, "Brother Ge's friendship Xu remembers it in my heart!" ”

"Hahaha, then let's say goodbye, I'll go to the Zhaoxian Pavilion to find Brother Xu in three days!"

The man surnamed Ge laughed and turned to leave.

"Xu is waiting for Brother Ge to come!" Looking at the back of the man surnamed Ge, Brother Xu arched his hand and said.

When the man surnamed Ge disappeared into the flow of people, Brother Xu took out the note, opened it and glanced at it, was silent for a while, and muttered to himself: "Is the gun and arrow unparalleled too Shi Ci?" Who are you? Gozon? That's not your real name, is it?! ”
