When the army of the Holy Sect of Paradise suddenly crossed the river and headed straight for Dahu Road, two generals Zhan Shutang and Jiang Chenzhou, who thought they were unlucky, had already led 70,000 soldiers to Kezhou. From Huayuan Ferry to Kezhou, it was natural that
The closest route is by water. However, if you pass through the official road, due to the existence of the Yinfeng Mountains between Qinchuan Road and Hetao Road, which are undulating and impossible to climb, you can only enter Dingzhou, Hetao from the Hanzhou Yinfeng Castle on Qinchuan Road, and then
Follow the official road to Kezhou.
After millions of soldiers arrived at Kezhou Ferry, Chu Xiangcheng did not evacuate them immediately, but temporarily concentrated them in Jiaoran County near the river. To everyone's surprise, Bian Zhongxing actually led 50,000 soldiers
They rushed to Jiao Ran and surrounded all the people. The 70,000 soldiers led by Jiang Chenzhou and Zhan Shutang returned just in time. Bian Zhongxing was worried that there were not enough troops in his hands, so he immediately captured the two strong men.
"You guys remember, there must be spies from the three Northeastern countries among these people, but you can't pretend to be monitoring them openly, otherwise it will inevitably deflect the people's hearts that have already turned towards us. The screening work must at least continue.
Seven days. You must be careful during these days and don't let people with ulterior motives take advantage of the loopholes." Bian Zhongxian said carefully. Jiang Shenzhou and Zhu Xigao from Zhanshutang below also listened honestly. Everyone knows the Loop.
Among the many generals, the most stringent military law is Bian Zhongxing. If the Bian commander dares to be distracted when issuing orders, he will definitely be dead.
Chu Xiangcheng said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that serious. Tomorrow morning, we will divide them into each state according to their place of origin, and then slowly screen them according to the list of places of origin we copied back from Tiandu Shengjing.
. We try not to blame any good person, but we will never let go of any spy. Therefore, we will definitely be a little tired in the next time, but for the safety of our Loop, the generals must persist."
One was pretending to be red and the other was pretending to be black. As soon as Chu Xiangcheng finished speaking, Bian Zhongxing snorted and said: "I also know that some people always believe that only fighting on the battlefield is the best destination for a soldier.
I am very complaining about these things. But I want to warn some of those people not to think that this is not a combat mission. This is more dangerous than the fighting on the battlefield. Think about how Jiayuguan, which was known as an invincible fortress, fell? That year
In other words, a few low-level soldiers who were greedy for money were bribed by the Rouran people, and ended up secretly opening the city gate in the middle of the night, eventually turning the Northwest Second Road into hell. It's up to you what to do."
When the three people in Zhan Shutang heard this, cold sweat suddenly broke out on their foreheads. Although they also had heavy troops, they had no courage to resist in front of Chu Xiangcheng and Bian Zhongxing. If these two people were provoked
If it becomes popular, just wait and be a defensive general in Hetao for the rest of your life.
"You go down first. Let the soldiers below watch carefully. Remember, it represents our concern for them in Hetao, not surveillance." Bian Zhongxing said calmly.
The three people in Zhan Shutang quickly left, wiping the sweat from their faces as they left.
Chu Xiangcheng smiled slightly: "Shuai Bian, you don't have to scare them like this, right?"
Bian Zhongxing said calmly: "It's not to scare them. Not only Jiayuguan, but also the Great Wall defense line at Juyongguan back then also had such factors?"
Chu Xiangcheng obviously thought of the fall of Juyongguan and the fall of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and the expression on his face darkened. He managed to squeeze out a smile and said: "Yelu Canghai has already made a move, if we don't take it
Come on, that doesn’t make sense at all. Humph, there are not only spies here, I’m afraid there are quite a few spies.”
Bian Zhongxing nodded and said: "Yes, it is too easy to insert a few hundred spies among more than one million people. Humph, there are not only people born and raised in the three northeastern countries, but I am afraid that there are also spies among our original Qingfeng people.
, Sir, you have to worry."
Chu Xiangcheng laughed and said: "Commander Bian, please rest assured. Although Chu is a scholar, he is definitely not a scholar. If necessary, Chu will not mind eradicating all doubtful people. Of course, this is a last resort.
method."
It only took a day for Chu Xiangcheng to divide all the people into sixteen areas according to the order of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and then subdivided them according to the area of each county. Let the following people start from Tiandu
The household registration information copied from Shengjing was classified by region, and the Hetao soldiers began to check each other's identity and place of origin one by one.
"Master Chu, can you find out who are the spies just by doing this?" Jiang Chenzhou asked in confusion.
Chu Xiangcheng laughed: "How can this be possible? Even if they can be dug out, they are just some small shrimps. Yelu Canghai is the wisest man outside the Great Wall. How can the chess pieces he laid out be so easily discovered by us? Take your time, this
Things are like digging for gold in the sand, it requires patience."
After five days, according to the household registration information, there were more than tens of thousands of people out of one million people who had no records. Facing these hungry people with sallow faces and skinny muscles, the soldiers really didn't know what to do with them.
"It's very simple. These people will all be sent back to where they should go according to the place of origin they reported." Chu Xiangcheng said nonchalantly. After the Battle of Hukou, in order to resettle the three to four million Youyun Sixteen
The people of the prefecture, Chu Xiangcheng, Luo Xianglin, Taiyue and others also took great pains. When they resettled the orphans, widows and elderly people, they used the county seat as a unit and placed them on the site of Hetao No. 3 Road. Although it was troublesome at first.
Some, but now the effect is still very significant. You only need to send these people without native place to the settlement area of the county they reported. As long as no one can recognize them and confirm their identity, then right?
Come on, Chu Xiangcheng is not a soft-hearted old man. He will either make you disappear completely or support the infrastructure construction of Hetao Third Road.
Bian Zhongxing stood next to Chu Xiangcheng and said calmly: "Sir, there shouldn't be anyone hiding behind Yelu Canghai among these people, right?"
Chu Xiangcheng also nodded and said with a smile: "Probably not. Yelu Canghai is a smart man. He doesn't have too many hidden secrets here. He can only kill one or two hundred people. Since he is deliberately planning, it is absolutely impossible.
Waste energy on these people who are easiest to see through. His secrets must be among the rest of the people."
Bian Zhongxing said with an expression on his face: "But our birthplace information comes from Tiandu Shengjing. Sir, don't forget, An Yongchang, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This birthplace matter happens to be under his control.
among.”
Chu Xiangcheng smiled proudly: "I understand, but although the Ministry of Household Affairs is the place where An Yongchang dominates the sky, he didn't pay much attention to the household registration information in the past. How could I have stayed in the court for so long?
Are you prepared at all? This time, Jiuyuan asked people to go to Tiandu Shengjing to copy household registration information in order to confuse An Yongchang and Yelu Canghai. Hum, as long as I compare these two information, I can naturally identify those people.
I was passive."
Bian Zhongxing's eyes flashed, and a gust of wind blew by, blowing his sleeves. After working with Chu Xiangcheng for so long, he seemed to have never seen all the details of this old man. He and Luo Xiang were both wise.
What a demonic character! This is Bian Zhongxing’s consistent evaluation of the two of them.
"It is impossible that all of these people have problems, and others may not all have problems," Bian Chongxing continued.
Chu Xiangcheng's eyes flashed: "So, I will kill half of these problematic people first and keep the other half."
"Ling the snake out of its hole?" Bian Zhongxing blinked.
"It's better to be patient. I and Jiu Yuan can endure it for twenty years. They will definitely not be inferior to anyone else." Chu Xiangcheng said lightly, but his eyes were full of murderous intent: "Commander Bian, don't worry, I will not be inferior to anyone else."
People have their own tricks. They are still a little green when it comes to playing this with me."
Bian Zhongxing raised his head indifferently, looked at the endless river at the end of his sight, and said calmly: "We have been tired for so long, it's time for the mistress to take action, right?"
Chu Xiangcheng laughed: "Of course, when it comes to winning people's hearts, it's up to the mother to do it herself. The weight of the two of us is not heavy enough."
Two days later, Princess Qin Tianyi of Jingbei rushed to Jiao Ran from Yanzhou City. During this period, the people's livelihood and economy in the Hetao were relatively stable, and the strength of the Hetao was also booming. Under the strong supervision of Chu Xiangcheng, the officials in the Hetao managed
It also showed that Haiyu was in peace, so Tianyi hadn't patrolled around for more than a month. During this time, she had been sitting in Yanzhou, so when Chu Xiangcheng's side was almost cleaned up, she took her two children with her.
Came here from Yanzhou.
A line of horse-drawn carriages came towards us in great force. Looking at the flag guard, it was clearly a royal-level pomp. In the entire Hetao Third Road, the only people who were qualified to use such a guard of honor were Jingbei Wang Haotian and Jingbei Princess Qin Tianyi. They had long since
Chu Xiangcheng and others who were waiting here saw this and rushed forward to greet them.
The curtain of the carriage in the middle was gently opened, and a graceful and elegant young woman slowly stepped out of the carriage.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the princess!" Chu Xiangcheng and others said in unison.
"No gifts!" Tianyi smiled slightly, but he was the first to support Chu Xiangcheng: "Uncle, you are serious, didn't you say you don't use these false gifts? If my husband knew about my identity, I would dare to accept such great courtesy from you.
, then I must be trained again."
Chu Xiangcheng laughed: "Ma'am, if you don't train the lord, it's already good. How can the lord dare to train you?"
Tianyi didn't answer, but turned to Bian Zhongxing and said: "Bian Shuai, you have worked hard these days."
Bian Chongxing said quickly: "We are all serving our lord, so why do we have to work so hard?"
"Bian Shuai is always so humble. Bian Shuai, can you smile? This will scare your two adopted sons." Before Tianyi could speak, a clear voice came from the carriage.
The curtain was opened again, and the lively and energetic Princess Fu Ruoshui of Korea had jumped down from the carriage. Now in the entire Jingbei Palace, she was the only one who could talk to Bian Zhongxing like this.
Bian Zhongxing interacted with this little princess very frequently, so he naturally knew what her temper was like, and he never took it to heart. But when he heard what Fu Ruoshui said, a smile suddenly appeared on Bian Zhongxing's face:
"Are Jin'er and An'er here too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bian Zhongxing heard Hao Jin's unique voice: "Godfather, Godfather, Aunt Liu Yan, I want to be held by my godfather."
Regardless of God's will, Bian Zhongxing went around and went around. Before the curtains could be lowered, a tiger-headed child had poked his head out of the carriage. Bian Zhongxing hugged him quickly and watched Hao Jin keep using his white eyes.
Bian Zhongxing couldn't help but burst out laughing. At this time, Chu Xiangcheng also took Hao'an from Liu Yan's hand. However, Hao'an was obviously not as active as his brother, with a small mouth.
The child is opening and closing, as if he was eating some snacks just now, and now he is still unfinished.
"Xin Shuang, along the way, I have seen a prosperous scene in Kezhou, which has completely surpassed the prosperity before 619 years ago. These are all your contributions. You have worked hard these years." Tianyi smiled at Kezhou.
Xin Shuang, the prefect of the prefecture, said.
Xin Shuang's eyes were a little moist: "Mother, please don't say that. This is what subordinates and others should do."
Tianyi sighed softly: "You are much more haggard than you were three years ago. Shutang, Shenzhou, and you two too. Over the years, the empire has been fighting endlessly. Fortunately, with old subordinates like you, we in Hetao can enjoy peace.
.But you should also take care of yourselves. There were more than a thousand passionate men back then, but now there are only a few dozen of you left."
Zhan Shutang Jiang Shenzhou and Xin Shuang both choked and lowered their heads. Xin Shuang was Haotian's old subordinate. After Haotian regained the Hetao, Xin Shuang transferred to the government system and served in Yanzhou. Later Haotian regained
After arriving at the Second Northwest Road, Lin Taiyue was transferred to Chu Xiangcheng's deputy, and the Kezhou prefect was vacated, so God specially placed his old subordinate here. At that time, Cheng Daping of Anzhou was also appointed as the local prefect.
Huang Zhiyou of Xizhou, Liu Fu of Kuzhou, Zhu Liangcheng of Huangzhou and others felt sad when they thought that out of the more than a thousand brothers who had raised the army that day, only sixty or seventy of them were left.
Xin Shuang choked and said: "Mother, it's better to go and inspect the common people first."
Tianyi nodded and followed Xin Shuang. Chu Xiangcheng and Bian Zhongxing followed behind with the two young masters in their arms. Haoan has always been honest, and he was already drowsy leaning on Chu Xiangcheng's arms.
Hao Jin's spirit was indeed very good. He was twisting and turning in Bian Zhongxing's arms, his little head swaying this way and that, and his black and white eyes curiously looking at the world around him.
