Chapter 825 Begin Preparations
"Chen County is a famous area, and the Rong Mansion has no leaders. If the thieves break out in large numbers, it will be difficult to control them in a hurry. It is advisable to use the middle base general Zhang Shuoquan to lead the governor and control Chen, Liang, Nanton, and Xin The six counties of Cai, Ruyin, and Runan are strong, so don't hesitate to set off."
"Lekai has already made his name, and he has always been in charge of Nanyang, which is as solid as the Great Wall. He is the governor of Mianbei, hoping to train troops and appease the country. "
"Xuzhou is an important place, and several counties are rich. Since Yu Liang and Li Chong took office, they have learned the art of war and war. Today it is appropriate to cultivate idle fields, set up forts, store grain and fodder, and build garrison troops. All business trips and sales of goods should be stopped to prevent thieves from taking advantage of them. I hope you can have enough food and soldiers to protect the lives of Xuzhou forever." br>
"The ancient county of Hongnong is located in Kinki Ouri. The difficulty of selecting a general is as heavy as a thousand stones. The guerrilla general Shao Shen is a good talent in our family. Now I entrust you with the role of drama. I will select generals in Hongnong to train troops and build forts. There is no need to be aggressive, Guibaojintang, 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 a king, who is responsible for the important task? I will pay you the military affairs of the three counties of Hedong, Pingyang and Xihe. I hope you will Mian ascended the altar and shouldered the important task of blocking the enemy from Puguan."
Secretary Superintendent 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 listening, he nodded slightly and said, "Send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Lu Chen immediately called for the clerk and took away the order books.
Zhang Shuo led the 6,000 soldiers of the Yinqianzhong Battalion to guard Chen County. He was the governor of the six counties in Huaibei and was on guard against Shouchun.
Le Kai entered the military governorship of Miangbei, and based on the four counties of Nanyang (minus Suiguo), he prepared for 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.
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, followed a few steps quietly, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to summon Tuoba Shiyiqian to see you?"
"Don't make your own decisions," Shao Xun said.
What Tuoba Shi Yijian came to see? What does a four- or five-year-old kid know? This is clearly talking about the Wang family.
The time has not come yet for Wang.
She is at best a little grateful now, and has some fantasies in her heart that she cannot control. It is too early to be willing, but the final outcome is the same.
For people like Wang, he can be as forceful as he was with Xuan, Wang, and Liu, or he can pull them like he is 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 we have reached this stage and become so powerful, it is already difficult to meet such a woman.
When a woman sees him, she becomes mentally depressed.
Whatever excessive thing he did, women will lie to themselves and find reasons for their own commitment.
He doesn't even need to coax women. Those noble ladies who look coldly on ordinary people and seem unattainable will smile at him 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 wallowing sex that is difficult for gods to enter. Now it seems that this woman is asking for him and has a tendency to give up resistance.
He suddenly didn't have much interest anymore, but you still have to lie, this woman is of great use. Anyway, one is willing to cheat and the other is 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 the Heijin Right Camp recruited new soldiers?" Shao Xun asked on the way to Chongming Temple.
"Two thousand 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. Said: "After all, I am going against nature. To put it harshly, I am going against the general trend."
Huang Zheng was stunned.
He even suspected that King Liang was insane and extremely depressed. Why do you always suspect someone is rebelling?
It was 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 has come to this point, and you still have to worry. How can you survive Xiaomin?" A woman's gentle voice sounded from behind, gently massaging his shoulders.
A piece of persimmon cake has been placed on the table in front of me like magic.
Shao Xun picked up a piece and put it gently into his mouth. It was very sweet.
“Where did the persimmons come from?” he asked.
Lelan Ji sat down on her knees, her brows full of joy, and said, "Jin Dao knows you like to eat it, so she made it with her own hands before winter last year."
"My son Filial piety." Shao Xun praised. Before I knew it, my son was already so old that he was able to respect him.
When he reaches middle age, he has also entered a new stage.
"Lan Ji, has there been any change between me and Jinmenwu back then?" Shao Xun asked.
Le Lanji took a closer look at the man and said with a smile: "My beard is long, but I am always frowning and worried."
How can it be possible for a young person to be a middle-aged person? No change? Sometimes it's so big that you become a completely different person, but your loved ones are always by your side, so it's not easy to notice this change.
“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, even these inner words will not be recognized by me. Maybe it’s rarely said.”
The lonely man may have come from among them.
"You have changed too." Shao Xun said, looking at the persimmon in his hand.
Lelan Ji was stunned for a long time.
"Don't blame yourself." Shao Xun hugged the woman into his arms and whispered: "I will do whatever it takes to achieve my goals, but there is always a bit of sincerity. When Queen Hui gave you to me, I I didn’t take it seriously at first, but when I saw you, all the bones in my body became lighter.”
Lelan Ji smiled, feeling much better, and said, “You don’t know where you learned this from. The method of coaxing women is sometimes good, but sometimes it is very bad. But where can I go as a woman who has lost her husband and lost her son?"
"Okay, are you going to act with me?" Shao Xun said deliberately.
"No." Le Lanji smiled softly and said: "No one has ever coaxed me before. It's quite novel and quite... useful. I also fell in love with you without knowing it. Furthermore, If you are willing to coax me, you are not a bad person. What else can I ask for in this world?"
"This is the truth," Shao Xun said, "Golden Sword is the Order of Shanglin Garden, so don't think nonsense. I'm not dissatisfied with him if I don't take him with me on this expedition. You are all my important people-"
I will try 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 encountered but cannot be sought.
The King of 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 adviser Zhang Bin, You Sima Yangchen, and central leader Mi Huang also became regular visitors to Chongming Temple.
The news was sent in one by one.
What is surprising is that before the winter snow melted, Tuoba Hena personally led his troops to attack Shengle.
Helan Aitou was in a hurry at first and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, he reacted in time, and after more than ten battles, he finally restored the situation.
Positive changes have also occurred in Daijun and Guangning.
After the war last autumn, the tribes retreated and returned to their pastures. As a result, Wang Feng was busy all winter. In the first month of the past year, he once again persuaded some wealthy families and tribes to join him, and a considerable part of Guangning and Daijun were restored.
This made Shao Xun take a high look at him.
The Wang family has been in Guangning for two or three generations, and after all, there is still some legacy. When the Qi family's troops pressed on the territory, 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 troops were gone, they turned their backs on Wang Feng again.
Of course, the signboard 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 be worried about Wang Feng's "resurrection". Next, they will face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, doubling the pressure.
"Now, Tuoba Xianbei's situation has been 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, The one we are attacking is the Qi family, trying to kill as many thieves as possible so that they can't 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. , when the thieves have exhausted each other and are exhausted, they can do their best."
"It would be better if we can do this." Shao Xun shook his head and said, "It will not be a mistake to show mercy to the enemy. , The enemy is not a fool. If I don't send troops, Helan Aitou may not be able to accomplish anything. After all, he still wants to conquer those tribes."
"How does the king plan to deal with Helan?" 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 must 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 are not as valued as in the Central Plains.
He did not believe that his eldest son could not attract the tribe to vote.
The eldest son of an adult concubine and the eldest son of an underage legitimate son. Well, everyone started canvassing to see who could be the speaker.
Of course, Shi Yiqian was still young, and Wang was his agent. Not to mention that she is also Tuoba Yulu's official concubine, which has a certain appeal in itself.
Shao Xun thought about Wang's state.
She was not very involved in this matter from beginning to end. She was in a state of panic, fear, and self-pity before. According to Cheng, she even cried secretly.
Oh, 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 should be much more active and willing to pay additional costs. It is possible to 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: "How about just cooking He Lan like this?"
Zhang Bin raised his hand, knowing Shao Xun's intention, he had no intention of letting He Lan go.
After the two people discussed it, Liu Bai, the servant of the house, came over and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Lu has passed away."
