"Chen County is a well-known area, and the Rong government has no long. If there are a lot of thieves, it will be difficult to control them in a hurry. It is better to use the middle base general Zhang Shuoquan to lead the governor and control the six counties of Chen, Liang, Nandun, Xincai, Ruyin, and Runan. Set out at the right time and don’t hesitate.”
"Le Kai has been named the commander of the vassal area for a long time. He controls Nanyang from his own country and is as strong as the Great Wall. It is appropriate to represent him as the governor of Mianbei, hoping to train troops and appease the country."
"Xuzhou is an important place with several well-off counties. Since Yu Liang and Li Chong took office, the literature has learned the latitude and longitude, and the military has acquired the skills of Tao and Qiang. Now it is suitable to cultivate idle fields, set up forts, store grain and grass, and create garrisons. Business travel , all activities and sales of goods must be stopped to prevent thieves from taking advantage of it. I hope that you and others can have enough food and soldiers to protect the lives of Xuzhou forever."
"The ancient county of Hongnong is the land of Kinki. The difficulty of selecting a general is as important as a thousand stones. The guerrilla general Shao Shen is a good talent in our family. Now I entrust you with the task of selecting generals to train troops and build forts in Hongnong. There is no need to be aggressive, but you can protect me. Golden soup, remember, remember.”
"The Xi family of Jinxiang is also a famous family in the city. Since Yongjia, he has always had great prestige. Since then, he has made many achievements. If you are not the emperor, who is worthy of the important task? I will pay you the military affairs of the three counties of Hedong, Pingyang and Xihe. I hope you will. I must climb up to the altar of generals to shoulder this important task and block the enemy from outside Puguan."
Secretary Supervisor Lu Chen read out the drafted orders one by one.
Shao Xun was bending his bow and setting an arrow, shooting down the straw men one by one seventy steps away.
After hearing this, he nodded slightly and said, "Send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Lu Chen immediately called for a small official and took away all the order books.
Zhang Shuo led the 6,000 soldiers of the Silver Spear Battalion to guard Chen County, and he was the governor of the six counties in Huaibei to prepare for the Shouchun direction.
Le Kai entered the military governorship of Miangbei, using the four counties of Nanyang (minus Suiguo) as the base to defend the direction of Xiangyang.
Yu Liang and Li Zhong continued to look in the direction of Xuzhou.
Shao Shen then recruited soldiers in Hongnong and built a fortress to block the enemies of Tongguan.
Xi Jian went to Hedong in person to monitor the enemies at Pujin Pass.
These measures are all to defend the rear.
"Whoosh!" The last arrow was shot, hitting the straw man right in the middle.
The soldiers stepped forward and removed Shao Xun's armor.
"From now on, when practicing archery, you must wear armor." Shao Xun threw the walking bow to Huang Zheng and said, "If you don't practice archery with iron armor, what is your ability?"
"Yes." Huang Zheng threw the bow to Tong Qianjin again, quietly followed a few steps, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to summon Tuoba Shiyi Jian to see you?"
"Don't make your own decisions." Shao Xun said.
What does Tuoba Shiyijian come into view? What does he, a four or five-year-old kid, know? This is clearly about the Wang family.
Wang's time hasn't arrived yet.
At best, she is a little grateful now, and has some fantasies in her heart that she cannot control. It is too early to be willing to do so, but the final outcome is the same.
For people like Wang, he can force them like he did for Xuan, Wang, and Liu, or he can pull them like he is doing now, which can be regarded as a relaxing entertainment.
His biggest regret is that he has never met a woman who really treats him with sincerity - people are just so mean.
Perhaps, now that I have reached this stage and become as powerful as I am now, it is already difficult to meet such a woman.
When a woman sees him, she becomes mentally depressed.
If he does something too much, a woman will lie to herself and find reasons for her commitment.
He doesn't even need to coax women. Those aristocratic women who look coldly on ordinary people and seem unattainable will treat him with a smile and conquer themselves due to various factors.
This is the charm of power, but it also loses a lot of fun.
He once expected Wang to resolutely refuse to obey and let him enjoy a hard-to-get-to-go-to-the-god-like wallowing sex. Now it seems that this woman is asking for something from him and has a tendency to give up resistance.
He suddenly didn't have much interest anymore, but he still had to cheat, and this woman was of great use. Anyway, one was willing to cheat, and the other was willing to be cheated, so why not?
When they left the school grounds, the soldiers of the Silver Spear Army were still practicing their archery skills.
It is already February and spring plowing has begun, but they are recruiting soldiers and can practice without any distractions.
If we could support hundreds of thousands of soldiers like this, we would be able to get them all over the world.
"Have you recruited new soldiers from Heijin Youying?" Shao Xun asked on the way to Chongming Temple.
"Twenty-four hundred people have been recruited, and all the eight buildings are training in Luoyang." Huang Zheng replied: "Officers will be transferred from the other four armies to supplement them."
"You said -" Shao Xun said suddenly when he was about to arrive at Chongming Temple.
Huang Zheng was stunned for a moment.
"After this expedition, will anyone rebel?" Shao Xun asked.
Huang Zheng immediately replied: "Your Majesty has been suppressing the world for more than ten years. From south to north, no one dares to provoke you."
"It seems you don't know either." Shao Xun sighed: "After all, I am going against heaven. To put it harshly, it means going against the general trend."
Huang Zheng was stunned.
He even wondered if King Liang was insane and extremely depressed. Why was he so prone to suspecting rebellion?
It is extremely quiet inside Chongming Temple, except for the gurgling sound of tea boiling.
Shao Xun entered the room, sat directly on the couch, and looked at the hand-drawn map placed on the table.
Next to the map were military reports arranged in categories, all of which he had read.
"It's come to this point, and you still have to worry about it. How can you survive it?" A woman's gentle voice sounded from behind, gently massaging his shoulders.
As if by magic, a piece of persimmon cake was placed on the table in front of me.
Shao Xun picked up a piece and put it gently into his mouth. It was very sweet.
"Where did you get the persimmons?" he asked.
Lelan Ji knelt down and said with a happy look on her brows: "Jin Dao knows you like to eat it, so he made it himself before winter last year."
"My son is filial." Shao Xun praised.
Before I knew it, my son was already so old that I was able to respect him.
As a person reaches middle age, he has also entered a new stage.
"Lan Ji, has there been any change from the time I met at Jinmenwu?" Shao Xun asked.
Le Lanji took a careful look at the man and said with a smile: "My beard is long, but I always frown and worry a lot."
How can a person not change during adolescence and middle age? Sometimes he or she may even become a completely different person, but it’s just that your loved ones are always by your side, so it’s not easy to notice such changes.
"In another twenty years, I may not be recognized by you." Shao Xun gently smoothed the wrinkles at the corners of Lan Ji's eyes and sighed: "In another ten years, I may rarely say even these inner words.
.”
The lonely man may be one of them.
"You have changed too." Shao Xun looked at the persimmon in his hand and said.
Lelan Ji was stunned for a long time.
"Don't blame yourself." Shao Xun hugged the woman into his arms and said softly: "I will do whatever it takes to achieve my goals, but I always have some sincerity. When Queen Hui gave you to me, I didn't take it seriously. It can be seen that
After seeing you, all the bones in my body feel lighter."
Lelan Ji smiled, feeling much better, and said: "You don't know where you learned the method of coaxing women. Sometimes it's okay, sometimes it's very clumsy. But I am a woman who has lost her husband and her son, and I can't do it."
Where can I go?”
"Okay, are you going to act with me?" Shao Xun said deliberately.
"No." Le Lanji smiled softly and said, "No one has coaxed me before. It's quite novel and... useful. I also fell in love with you without knowing it. Furthermore, if you are willing to coax me, then
I’m not a bad person, what else can I ask for in this world?”
"This is the truth." Shao Xun said: "Jin Dao is the order of Shanglin Garden, so don't think nonsense. If I don't take him with me on this expedition, it's not because I am dissatisfied with him. You are all my important people -"
I will try my best to restrain myself and try not to make random suspicions, he said in his heart.
"Steady, steady, I'll wait for you." Le Lanji sighed softly and curled up in his arms, enjoying the warmth that might disappear at any time.
Mrs. Xuan was boiling tea in the back. Occasionally she raised her head and her eyes fell on Le Lanji, almost full of envy.
Meeting each other at a young age is a kind of friendship that can only be met but cannot be sought.
Prince Liang showed a bit of tenderness to Mrs. Le from time to time, but he was completely insulting to her, as if he was venting his negative emotions.
****
Shao Xun stayed in Ningshuo Palace for more than half a month. Most of the time he stayed in Chongming Temple to study military affairs.
In the last few days of February, secretary Lu Chen, military counselor Zhang Bin, right Sima Yangchen, and central leader Mi Huang also became regular visitors to Chongming Temple.
The news was sent in piece by piece.
What is surprising is that before the winter snow melted, Tuoba Hena personally led his troops to attack Shengle.
Helan Aitou was in a panic at first and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, he reacted in time and fought for more than ten years to finally turn the situation around.
Daijun and Guangning also experienced positive changes.
After the war last autumn, the tribes withdrew and returned to their pastures. As a result, Wang Feng worked hard all winter. In the first month of the past year, he once again persuaded some wealthy tribes to come to Guangning.
A considerable part of Dai County has been restored.
This made Shao Xun give him a high look.
The Wang family has been holding Guangning for two or three generations, and after all, there is still some legacy. When the Qi family's troops pressed on the border, some of these people also fought hard. Later, because they saw no hope and suffered consecutive defeats, they surrendered to the Qi family.
Now that Qi's soldiers and horses were gone, they turned their backs on Wang Feng again.
Of course, the name of the Jin Dynasty may also have played a certain role. After all, those Wuhuan people had a lot of exchanges with the Han people, so they still knew some inside information.
As a result, the Qi family and their son will once again worry about Wang Feng's "resurrection". Next, they will face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, doubling the pressure.
"Now that things have happened, Tuoba Xianbei is divided into three parts." Shao Xun pointed to the map on the desk and said: "Qi mother and son only hold 50%, Helan Aitou holds 35%, and Wang Feng holds 15%. The army attacks.
We are attacking the Qi family, trying to kill and injure as many thieves as possible so that they will not be able to stand up in a short time."
Zhang Bin kept looking at the map and said after hearing this: "Your Majesty, you can continue to accumulate food and grass, and wait for the thieves to consume each other and fight out when they are exhausted, so that you can complete your work."
"It would be great if it could be like this." Shao Xun shook his head and said: "It's not wrong to expect leniency from the enemy. The enemy is not a fool. If I don't send troops, Helan Aitou may not be able to accomplish the task. After all, he is still trying to conquer those people.
What’s the tribe’s idea?”
"How does the king plan to cook Helan?" Zhang Bin asked.
Shao Xun pondered for a while and did not answer.
He would definitely not let Helan Aitou take over the power of Qi's mother and son as he wished. Wouldn't that be in vain?
This matter has to be dealt with by Wang.
To be honest, Tuoba Yihuai was just the eldest son of a concubine, while Tuoba Shiyiqian was the legitimate eldest son.
The grasslands also talk about the distinction between concubines and concubines, but they don't pay as much attention to it as in the Central Plains.
He didn't believe that his eldest son could not attract the tribe to vote.
One is the eldest son of an adult concubine, and the other is the eldest son who is a minor. Well, everyone starts canvassing to see who can be the speaker.
Of course, Shi Yiqian was still young, and Wang was her agent. Not to mention that she was also Tuoba Yulu's official concubine, and this status itself had a certain appeal.
Shao Xun thought about Wang's state.
She was not very involved in this matter from the beginning to the end. She was in a state of panic, fear, and self-pity before. According to Cheng, she even secretly cried.
Haha, what a little girl who can't handle the pressure.
Perhaps, now she can be allowed to play a role, making her feel that she is still valuable. After realizing this, she may grasp the life-saving straw, lest Shao Xun really choose Tuoba Yihuai and plunge their mother and son into the abyss.
.
With a sense of participation and sunk costs, Wang will be more active and willing to pay additional costs, and may play a greater role than Shao Xun imagined - of course, this depends on Wang's ability, after all
She is only nineteen years old.
"Send an order to Liu Zhao to go to Junzijin before three months to see if it is possible to build a city." After Shao Xun made the decision, he immediately put aside the matter, looked at Zhang Bin, and asked: "Just cook Helan like this.
,how?"
Zhang Bin raised his hand, knowing Shao Xun's intention, he had no intention of letting Helan Aitou go.
After the two of them had reached a consensus, Liu Bai came over and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Lu has passed away."
