In fact, as people from Hebei get closer and closer to Jinyang, what they feel far exceeds these worries about their future and life.
In the fields along the way, farmers are busy. They need to repair or build new water conservancy facilities before spring plowing, and turn over the newly soft soil several times.
There is a sense of leisure in their diligence, as if the war has completely gone away from them, which is rare in Hebei and Shandong.
The only similarity seems to be that most of them are women and children.
But they also have an advantage that cannot be matched by those in the east. The cattle coming from Daizhou pasture are quickly entering the homes of ordinary people. Of course, this will not come without any price. They will exchange for the output in the near future.
There are also some war horses that are not suitable for riding, and the price is lower than that of cattle. This is an advantage that almost cannot be copied elsewhere.
Daizhou Ranch is using this method that seems extremely luxurious and even incomprehensible to people from Hebei Province to alleviate the pressure on livestock farming.
What people from Hebei didn't know was that the farmers in Daizhou began to become rich, especially the people in Yunnei, who had both a large population and large pastures. Some families finally couldn't bear the loneliness and started to make cattle.
Sheep business.
Under the two bright banners of the Yunnei Li family and the Yunnei Wang family, they gradually crossed Yanmen and arrived in Jinyang. It is conceivable that when they think they have enough power, they will seek political support.
breakthrough.
They were once Li Po's most powerful supporters, and they will stand firmly behind Li Po now and in the near future, because they consider themselves to be Li Yunnei's hometown party.
This is already a land full of vitality, and people are doing what they should do in spring, instead of picking up swords and guns to fight with others, fighting for the right to survive.
Although the two states still have large areas of barren land, and the pain of the war is far from truly gone, people's desire for a stable life is extremely strong, so strong that they are willing to shed blood for it.
The early spring in Bingzhou is not a beautiful time. The weather is still a bit cold and everything is bare and unattractive. However, the vitality and vitality everywhere make everyone who comes from Hebei feel the same way.
On the way into Jin, Liu Bin heard more and more complaints. Some people could not see this stable situation and began to curse the government that they had overthrown.
Some people have been in war for a long time and have no interest in farming. They only care about food and grass, so they also murmur in private and despise the weakness and incompetence of officials under Li Ding'an's rule. How can farmers be so leisurely and comfortable?
And they are too hopeless, so what are they doing growing food? In the end, instead of filling the bellies of those dog officials, why not rise up and rebel...
But some people are tired of the endless wars and killings, and feel that Jin is really a good place. Can Chief Dou give them such a peaceful life? Chief Dou is attacking Youzhou again, and he may not know how long he will fight.
Fortunately, they have reached the end of the journey, otherwise, there may be escapees...
Welcoming Liu Bin and others were Sima Junjun of the General Administration Palace, Wu Boyuan, the commander of Jinyang, and Liu Jingsheng, the right leader of the General Administration Palace.
The specifications were not very high, but he did not mean to be disrespectful. Li Po was not prepared for Dou Jiande's visit, but he was not too surprised.
He used Dou Jiande as a touchstone to see the effect of welcoming Empress Xiao back. Sure enough, Old Dou did not disappoint him. This guy's bones were not strong. After only a little testing, he actually sent an envoy over.
It happened to be just in time for him to be crowned king. Let’s not talk about anything else. It is just a matter of great honor to have princes come to congratulate him on the ceremony of crowning king.
While the messenger was still on the way, their names had already reached Li Po.
Liu Bin? I have never heard of him. Looking at his mother-in-law, Li Bi also had a blank look on his face. Chen Xiaoyi and others also shook their heads. It was obvious that this person was not famous and most of them were reckless.
This person is an official, which can only mean that this person has a good relationship with Lao Dou. As for the real situation, you will only know when you meet him.
Li Po was delighted when he heard the name of the second place. Bo, the King of Thieves in Mount Tai, was so famous that Yang Xuangan, Yu Wenhua and others followed him and followed him to death.
He asked Dou Jiande for the heads of Wang Bo and Meng Jiong, but Dou Jiande sent him a living person. Wasn't Meng Jiong really killed by him and his head was hidden in the box?
But after thinking about it for a moment, Li Po said to himself, don't say it, Lao Dou is thoughtful enough, so we reluctantly accepted this "gift".
Li Po felt that Dou Jiande was much better than Princess Yicheng in this aspect, so Wang Bo was much luckier than Chen Shuda.
The next person, no one needs to mention it, Li Po just thought about it for a moment and found this name in his memory. The eldest son of Hongnongguan King Yang Xiong, the elder brother of his scribe Yang Xu, this is on Yang Xu's resume
It is written very clearly.
Yang Lun, also known as Gongren, the reason why people only call him by his first name, Li Po understands, people live by their words. This is not a rare thing in Kansai, it is very common.
Hey, don't you think it's amazing that you two brothers can meet in Jinyang?
Everyone discussed the matter for a while and found that it was nothing, because Dou Jiande's threat to Jin was minimal. Just as Li Po said at the beginning, as long as Dou Jiande dared to leave the Taihang Mountains, he would dare to leave Dou Jiande's head in Jin.
The advantage of the Daizhou cavalry is too great. Any soldiers and horses who dare to take risks and rush into Jin will face the attack of the cavalry group. Especially a guy like Dou Jiande, who started out as a peasant army, should be the easiest to be attacked by the cavalry.
The one that was eliminated was already reflected in the Hebei War.
What everyone discussed after that was some process issues regarding becoming king, but Li Bi was quite happy... Well, as long as you are happy...
When Liu Bin and others arrived, Li Po met with the envoys in the main hall of the General Manager's Mansion.
Liu Bin performed well, although he was very jealous of the prosperity of Jinyang. He felt that if he occupied such a big city, then... how many soldiers and horses could he pull out? How many civilians could he requisition? Who could capture such a strong city?
I can't blame Li Ding'an for being in power in Jin, that's why.
Of course he didn't dare to say these slanderous words, and from the moment he met Li Po, he began to be surprised by his youth, gentle attitude, and thoughtful etiquette.
At this time, he was similar to those who had surrendered. They were all confused by Li Po's superficial skills, and then they compared their immediate superiors with Li Po.
As a result, Liu Bin's mood also dropped. Dou Jiande undoubtedly had his own unique personality charm, but he was not as young as Li Po. Li Po, who had always been taught by Li Bi, was even better than Dou Jiande in terms of etiquette. Li Po
Although Po's background was not high, he was not comparable to Dou Jiande.
In fact, Dou Jiande's biggest shortcoming is his recklessness.
He met with envoys from other princes more than once or twice. Li Po dealt with them very skillfully, which made Liu Bin feel like a spring breeze and he became much more relaxed in his responses.
He had a good impression on Li Po. He was of average height, but still strong-boned. He knew it as soon as he spoke. He had read a lot of books, but he didn't have the sourness of a scholar. Compared with Li Tang, who had ulterior motives, his speech was also smooth.
There are actually a lot of them, and I don’t want to draw a big picture so that I can fool him into attacking Wang Shichong or something.
But Li Po, who always looks at people's weaknesses first, still found this person's shortcomings. This person seemed to have little tolerance, because not only did this person turn a blind eye to the two deputy envoys, but Li Po only stimulated him slightly, and he then spoke
It became much sharper.
You love to express yourself and are quite sensitive. You are not a woman who was born in the wrong child, right?
But this conversation can be said to be very successful. Dou Jiande wanted to make peace with me. When Li Po seemed to have inadvertently asked, Wang Shichong and you are dependent on each other and we can form an alliance. We sent envoys here today, but Wang Shichong also wanted to make peace with me.
meaning?
Liu Bin suddenly choked up. Naturally, he would not talk about how Wang Shichong had betrayed his trust. That would be the most stupid thing to do. After a long time, he found the right words and planned to fool Li Po.
Li Po smiled secretly, I heard the sound of your two families fighting across the Taihang Mountains. What else do you want to say that everything is safe? You also revealed to me the news that Wang Shichong was short of food. Well, you responded very quickly. You can be considered a talent.
Liu Bin is very hardworking, but Li Po is not Dou Jiande. He is determined and determined, and few people can match him. He has many ideas on small matters. On major matters, he will discuss with everyone, but he will not always listen to one person's words.
He has his own judgment on other people's suggestions.
Li Po felt that he didn't gain much from this conversation. It was not as exciting as Ashina Peony and Li Xiuning, and Dou Dan came to have it. It can be said that there was neither any benefit nor much disadvantage, but it just proved that the two sides
thing.
As for one, he seems to have a great reputation in Hebei. The dispatch of troops to Youzhou must have frightened Dou Jiande, otherwise his envoy wouldn't be so "polite", right?
As for the second one, although Empress Xiao is not the emperor, the effect is very good, but Dou Jiande's bones are too soft? Do you want to find someone else to try again?
Liu Bin felt very good as he was led to another courtyard to rest. He even didn't believe that such a young man could be the same Yunnei Li Ding'an who killed Song Jingang and Luo Yi.
It can be said that this was a relatively peaceful interview process. Li Po neither captured the Taishan bandit immediately nor mentioned to the silent Yang Gongren that his brother was working in the mansion.
Because that is not necessary, Liu Bin and others will still have to stay in Jinyang for a while.
As soon as the people from Hebei settled down, Li Nian ordered people to rush to Jinyang to report that Wang Shichong's envoy had crossed the Yellow River. He also sent people to report that Xiao Xian's envoy had arrived.
Hearing these two pieces of news, Li Pocai was really overjoyed...
