Youzhou.

The air is crisp in autumn and the sky is high and vast.

There were about two thousand people in one bid, and the soldiers and horses of the Youzhou army, holding high the military flag with the word "You", marched southward along the wide horse road.

When passing through a city gate, a soldier with the same red turban and red armor blocked the way of the soldiers and horses.

"Stop anyone who comes!"

Many red-armored soldiers in front of the checkpoint raised their spears and spears high and shouted to the Youzhou Army from a distance, "There are dogs and soldiers in action in front of us. We follow the order of His Highness King Yan to close the pass and the dogs and soldiers are working carefully. It has nothing to do with it."

No one can pass through!"

"Xu..."

A group of officers and soldiers of the Youzhou Army stopped outside the mountain pass. A heroic young general eight feet tall held a black and heavy halberd two feet tall, and slowly came out of the crowd to beat the horse.

He raised his head and glanced at the word "Yan" flying above the mountain pass. The word "Li" was two big flags, one taller and one shorter. The anger in the heavy boy flashed away.

He shouted: "Long Qie!"

A capable young general responded by riding out, cupping his fists and saying, "Here's the bid!"

General Chongtong: "Tell these hawks and dogs to get away quickly!"

The young general responded and led more than ten horses forward to negotiate.

General Chongtong watched as all the robes came forward and impatiently held the handle of the euphorbia with a "sizzling" sound.

At the right time, a handsome young man from the school came up to General Chongtong and said in a low voice: "Brother, these hawks and dogs are clearly coming for us!"

General Chongtong gritted his teeth without looking back and whispered: "I'm not blind!"

Junxiu Primary School looked around and lowered his voice again and said: "What I mean is... the general sent us to pick up the food. Do you know that Prince Yan's Mansion will set up a checkpoint to intercept the food?"

General Chongtong raised his eyes and pondered for a few breaths, and said thoughtfully: "Before leaving, the general told me to put the overall situation first in everything..."

Junxiu Primary School: "The army's food reserves are about to run out. If this batch of grain falls into the hands of Prince Yan's Mansion, wouldn't it be inconvenient for Prince Yan's Mansion to decide whether we advance or retreat in the future?"

General Chongtong finally turned his head and glanced at him, and shouted impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating with me?"

Junior Colonel Junxiu sneered and whispered: "What I mean is...this batch of grain is the overall situation of our Youzhou Army!"

General Chongtong was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Don't lie to me. Is this what the general means?"

Junxiu Primary School glanced at him: "The bravery of the eldest brother is known to the whole army. In the past few times, the general did not send the eldest brother to receive the grain support from the King of Han. However, this time he sent the eldest brother to come, and we met the King of Yan's plan.

Card interception... Brother, don’t you think this is too coincidental?”

General Chongtong looked at him uncertainly: "The general has told me many times that the most important task in northern Xinjiang at the moment is to resist the invasion of dog soldiers. The provocation of the Yan Palace must be tolerated as long as possible. Even if it cannot be tolerated, it cannot be tolerated."

Expand the situation..."

Before he finished speaking, Junxiu Primary School gave him a gentle push: "Brother, there's a quarrel over there."

General Chongtong took a closer look and saw many soldiers from Prince Yan's palace guarding the door, surrounding Long Qie and others, pushing and shoving, yelling and cursing. He was immediately furious, clamped his legs under the horse's belly, and rushed over with a big halberd in his hand.

.

He had just arrived at Long Qie's side, and before he could say anything, he heard the captain yelling at him: "How dare you disobey orders from a mere guarding dog..."

I don’t know if it was the words from Junxiu Primary School that were causing trouble. General Chongtong had heard insults like this countless times from the soldiers of Prince Yan’s Mansion in the army. In the past, he just regarded it as a barking dog.

, never took it to heart... Of course, in the past, they scolded the soldiers of Prince Yan's family, and the scolding was even worse and not enough. Rolling up their sleeves and having a fight with hundreds or even thousands of people was just a common occurrence.

But this time, he only felt that his heart was on fire. He couldn't control the hand holding the halberd, and walked ahead of his thoughts, bringing up a cold crescent moon and smoothly crossing the neck of the captain of Prince Yan's Mansion.

Everyone present was stunned, and turned their heads to look at the captain of Prince Yan's Mansion with dull eyes.

The captain of Prince Yan's Mansion also raised his head blankly and looked at General Chongtong on the tall horse, as if he couldn't believe that he dared to kill him!

The next second, Douda's head rolled down and made a muffled sound of "Winter" after hitting the ground, like a ripe watermelon.

Blood spurted out more than ten feet high from the chest of the headless corpse...

General Chongtong shook off the blood drops on his halberd, and glanced at the many soldiers of Prince Yan in front of him with an expressionless expression: "A certain family has disobeyed orders today, so what are you going to do next!"

Before taking action, he was somewhat worried.

But now that he saw the blood, the hesitation in his heart disappeared immediately!

Seeing this, Junxiu Primary School in the rear drew out his sword and shouted: "Prince Yan's Mansion has gone too far to bully others. Two or three sons, let's fight with Prince Yan's Mansion..."

The shouts woke up the soldiers of Prince Yan's palace who closed the pass. Suddenly, the arrows and the shouts of "The Youzhou Army has rebelled" fell like raindrops on the pass, and the heavy closing door also "clanged".

It slowly fell with the sound of the winch turning.

Like a rock in the stormy sea, General Chongtong stood firmly outside the closed door. The dark spurge was as light as a lamp grass in his palm, and he calmly pushed aside all the rain of arrows pouring down from the closed door...

The rain of arrows, which seemed to be as fast and dense as a sudden rain, was nothing more than the spring breeze blowing in his face.

But that louder cry of "Youzhou Army has rebelled" caused the anger in his heart like fire cooking oil, and the "Peng Peng Peng" exploded upwards!

Old accounts, new accounts...all will be settled today!

Chongtong was covered in blood, and the heroic young general tore off the "red scarf" from his neck and threw it to the ground, angrily shouting filial piety: "A certain person has left the Youzhou Army and turned to Ji Zhou. I would like to follow a certain family."

Anyone who wants to kill Ji Xuan's child to avenge his humiliation will attack with a certain number!"

He suddenly grabbed the groom and rushed towards the door with a fierce momentum like a tiger. He raised his halberd and hit the heavy door hard.

"Peng."

The heavy iron-clad door fell into pieces, and General Chongtong led his horse into the mountain pass.

In the rear, the two thousand Youzhou elite soldiers who had followed him on the Great Wall and fought fiercely with Quan Rong for three years shouted in unison: "I am willing to follow the military lord, and we will never be separated in life or death!"

"kill!"

…

The impact of moving the capital on the Han court was greater than Chen Sheng expected!

He originally thought that moving the capital would just mean changing his office to a place with better location conditions, and it might take two or three years for such location conditions to truly reflect.

But in fact, since the Han Dynasty moved its capital to Jinling, Chen Sheng has keenly discovered that the spirit of the Han Dynasty has changed from top to bottom...

It was like overnight.

Officials who seemed to have no desires or desires at first suddenly began to long for promotion.

People who originally only cared about immediate food and clothing suddenly began to make long-term plans.

Every day, the number of people coming to Jinling from all over the country to seek official positions and make a living is increasing day by day.

Even the business system, which he had spent a lot of effort to revitalize but still had not improved much, suddenly began to recover like the cold winter being driven away by the spring breeze...

What is even more intuitive is that his long-stagnant luck began to increase at a rate of two to three thousand per day after he entered the Changning Palace!

Chen Sheng thought about it for a long time, and suddenly realized that for him, moving the capital may just be a more convenient place to work, but for the Han court, it was a sign of getting rid of the Caotai team and getting on the right track!

It was only later that he remembered that although he had proclaimed himself king a long time ago, it seemed that he had never officially established a capital!

Yes, although before moving the capital, he always defaulted to Chen County as the capital.

But that's just his own default.

No formal edict was issued to make Chen County the capital.

This seemingly insignificant step caused a gap in the Han people's sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty!

Of course, the real question is not whether he issued an edict to Han Dynasty to make Chen County the capital.

But the rise of the Han Dynasty was too fast, and the people had not yet been able to develop a sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty.

In an environment that did not cultivate a sense of belonging, he again imitated the problems of the capital, which led to obstacles in the people of Han Dynasty's understanding of the Han Dynasty.

Before the capital was moved, even those people who had benefited from the Han court's policy of benefiting the people only knew about the Han court: "His Royal Highness is very capable of fighting", "The Han Dynasty has many soldiers and horses", "The Han court has

The officials in "seem to be kinder than the officials in Ji Zhou".

After the capital was officially moved, the people of the Han Dynasty began to slowly realize that they were no longer Zhou people, but Han people, and the capital was no longer Luoyi, but Jinling...

Once people have a sense of belonging, they will want to settle down.

With the idea of ​​stability, you will have the ambition to make progress.

When a group of people are motivated in the same direction, they will have centripetal force and cohesion...

The development speed of Hanting has since entered the fast lane.

In early September, the autumn harvest was completed in the four prefectures of Han Dynasty, and 60,000 liters of hybrid rice were planted, all of which reached the standard of two dan per mu.

Since then, although the food supply in Han Dynasty was still stretched, there was no longer the worry of food famine!

Chen Sheng also tried to open grain markets at designated points in various states, injecting a boost into the recovering business system.

In mid-September, the first batch of cement from the cement plant established under the leadership of Meihua Villa came off the production line.

The construction speed of Jinling began to accelerate.

Preparations have also begun for the construction of Sizhou Chidao.

At the end of September, Chen Ping returned from a secret mission to the Bolang Army and finalized the general direction for Jingzhou to be brought under the rule of the Han Dynasty.
To be continued...
