Chapter 69: The Lion City
With the news of Wu'an Feixiang Guangping little by little back to Cizhou City, Liu Feng's tense heart was relaxed, although both sides have made specific arrangements, but they all have their own defects, Wu'an direction Zeng Yu brought a group of frail sergeants, and Wuze Liu Yanying is too young, has not experienced several major battles, and is seriously inexperienced.dt.com Liu Feng, who is incapable of separation, can only be arranged in this way, fortunately, both places have been carried out relatively smoothly, except for in Feixiang, there were some casualties, everything is developing in the direction of the plan.
Cizhou's arrangements have slowly come to an end, although the three places have been collected, but the next thing is to leave Deng Junliang and Zeng Xiangru a huge mess. One of them joined the army as the assassin of Cizhou and the other joined the army as Cizhou, and the work of dealing with the aftermath must be the two of them, as for Liu Feng, he has embarked on the way back to Liujiabao at this moment.
When he came, he walked slowly all the way, firstly, because Liu Feng was not sure in his heart to persuade Zeng Yu and others, and secondly, he carefully observed the situation of the villagers who came along the way. When he returned, he wanted to gallop on horseback, but there were too many accompanying figures, and Liu Feng wanted to temporarily use Cizhou City as a military fort, so it was inevitable to experience war, so a large number of villagers were moved to Linzhang in Wei County, and the families of some officials also had to move to Liujiabao.
As the future Mrs. Liu Feng, Ulan is very restrained in front of outsiders, and the outsiders here refer to people other than Liujiabao, their respect for Ulan makes her dare not let go of her temperament anymore, and she wantonly makes love with Liu Feng in front of everyone, and Liu Feng, who has touched the soft nail of the opportunity, has to ask for it back in private.
The guards on the way back to the fort were in high spirits, talking and laughing constantly, although they killed and injured two brothers this time, but Liu Jiabao returned with a full load, not only Liu Feng became the lord of Cizhou City, but also their old guards were also promoted to captain or captain, for them, it is understandable that they have been promoted before and after the death of the war, and they are glad that they have been promoted, won the reward, and have also been majestic in Cizhou City.
The next day, he only led a group of personal guards, and quickly returned to Liujiabao, leaving Qi Changming, Wang Zhicang and others to lead the rest of the guards to arrange these matters.
Guo Chongtao, who returned to the fort a few days earlier, waited outside the north gate early, he was also anxiously waiting for Liu Feng's return, the auction will start in half a month, he did almost everything according to Liu Feng's arrangement, but how to continue next, he was at a loss, in the face of such business activities, not to mention a layman like him, even Liu Yanxi, who has been in business for more than ten years, Liu Yanbei does not know how to arrange next.
"Lord Join! They're back! Liu Yanbo said suddenly, he faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves, as the words fell, a few black spots appeared in the distance, and then got closer and closer, finally, a group of six people, Liu Feng's black cloak, particularly conspicuous. When the Lord returned, the first capital of Liu Yanbo's Eagle Yang Camp on the fortress wall suddenly erupted in a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
……
Wu'an was taken by Cizhou news, Xingzhou Assassin Shi got the news, indifferent to this, although Wu'an in the scope of his rule, but the wolf horse in the territory does not belong to him, it is said that the earliest inventor of one country, two systems should be the Khitan Yelu Abaoji.
In the Khitan, the northern and southern bureaucratic systems are divided, and the southern officials mostly imitate the Tang system, and there are also officials such as the superintendents of the temples and guards of the three provinces and six ministries, which are mostly used to settle the Han people, but they have no real power. In the local Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and other Han residential areas, a two-level system of prefectures and counties is implemented, with the governor being the assassin and the county magistrate being the county magistrate.
And in the Han land, there are five capitals, Shangjing, Linhuang Mansion, Zhongjing, Dading Mansion, Tokyo, Liaoyang Mansion, Nanjing Xijin Mansion, Xijing Datong Mansion, and each of the five capitals has a "Prime Minister's Mansion", each has a left and right minister, Pingzhang and other officials, and each has a "left-behind department", "Metropolitan Governor's Office" and other institutions.
The local administrative organization of the Khitan, there is also a kind of "casting military states". This kind of state was set up by the Khitan clan ministers and the leaders of the tribes to which they belonged, and the people they had received or captured. Most of the captured Han and Bohai people were settled in areas suitable for farming, and those who were skilled were engaged in handicrafts.
On the one hand, these people engaged in agriculture had to pay rent in kind to the nobles of the military prefecture under their head, and on the other hand, they had to pay taxes to the Liao government. The commercial taxes in the city, except for the liquor tax, which were handed over to the Liao government, were all owned by the nobles of the military prefecture under the head. The officials of the military states under the head were appointed by the nobles of each state, except for the envoys of the temperance. The household registration of the military state under the head is dependent on the owner on the one hand, and the Liao government on the other.
And Jizhou Lion City is such a state, Wuliji is the Khitan nobles of the Lion City, when it enters July, it has entered the middle of summer, even if it is like the sky in the north, it is not cool. Uliji, who had to ride a horse every day, was also sunburned back to the house by the red sun.
Uliji is the ancestral shelter, was rewarded with a lion city territory, originally yearning for the grassland, he also slowly got used to enjoying the current life, comfortable and rich, not as bloody as the grassland life, and he was happiest is to go south to plunder, every time the harvest is huge, a large number of grain, countless gold and silver, a large number of slaves, so that his lion city is getting richer and richer.
Lying in the gazebo in the garden, Uliji enjoyed the cool breeze blowing by the lake, driving away the summer heat, and in Uliji's heart, the only people who could threaten his current comfortable life were the other nobles of the Khitan, those insatiable royal uncles. As for the Later Han Dynasty, the Cizhou soldiers of the Hedong Army could not threaten him for a while, and when the Hedong Army Cizhou and others had a certain ability, it was also time for the army to go south. After several years of war, coupled with the war between the royal families to usurp power and seek the throne, they had no time to go south, and when all the dust settled, it was time for them to go south bloodily.
And he is always ready to go south, he guards the southern gate for Nanjing Xijin Mansion, and also acts as the vanguard of the south, in the area of Xingzhou Lake City and Shenzhou Lion City, he has about 5,000 wolf riders under his jurisdiction, and the Han army under his command also has 30,000 people.
After surviving the heat of summer, they will usher in their most refreshing days, both hunting and training, perhaps this year's raids can allow him to rush to Shanzhou, take a bite in this rich land, and restore some vitality on the war-torn grassland. It has to be said that no matter which race or power of human beings is, they can't avoid this stage of infighting, and probably the direction of interests is the biggest difference between things in people's hearts.
Whether the Khitan civil strife or not did not affect the war of the Central Plains at all, the envoys of each section fought against each other, and there were sometimes filthy things between the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Later Han Dynasty, and they had to mourn for the villagers living in this era, and they would almost have a peaceful life one day, and it seemed that they would always be in the flames of war.
Fantasizing about the future and fantasizing about the beautiful Wuliji, half lying on the couch, drinking the cold plum soup beautifully, taking a long breath, squinting and enjoying the only trace of coolness in the hot summer.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps in his ears, Wu Liji raised his head, and a Khitan man in military uniform walked quickly from outside the door, came to him, plopped, knelt on the ground, and bowed down and said: "Yi Li Jin!" Excuse the offense! ”
"What's wrong? Why plead? You don't stay in Wu'an, what are you doing in the Lion City? "Wu Liji frowned, dissatisfied with the authentic truth, he didn't stay his own people, although he belonged to his own command, but he hid in Wu'an, and he didn't obey his own dispatch very much, this time he came to the Lion City for some reason!"
"Yi Lijian, Wu'an was occupied by Cizhou Zengyu, I led the sons and daughters to fight with his cavalry, although it is not elite, but it is also difficult to entangle, I think Wu'an now has three thousand Cizhou soldiers stationed!" Yanliu said in a deep voice, he knew that he was very sad to pass the level of Wuliji, but he still had another idea in his heart, Wuliji went south to plunder, and there were fewer available people in his hands, so he could fight for it.
Wu Liji raised his eyebrows, and it was time for him to go south to plunder, and at this time, Zeng Yu of Cizhou dared to strike first, so that he was a little confused.
