Shannan County has now become a large military camp, after signing a secret agreement with the Qin people, the Shannan County soldiers under the command of He Lanxiong, the Dai County soldiers, and the independent cavalry division of the Northern Group Army, plus the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Field Group of their own headquarters, nearly 100,000 horses and horses have all withdrawn to Shannan County.

Every day, there is an endless stream of captive people who are escorted by soldiers to set off, these people from Jiuyuan County will be enriched to the Liaodong Peninsula, changing the problem of the underpopulation of the Central Plains there, in the Liaodong Peninsula, for the Zhengdong Mansion, it is still a top-heavy status quo, if you want to completely stabilize the rule there, then the Central Plains people of the same culture and the same species will be the most important weight. Don't look at these Qin people crying and crying now, looking extremely miserable and in the pain of leaving their homeland, but when they arrived in Liaodong, there was a huge surprise waiting for them.

In addition to one hundred acres of land per household, the Liaodong Protectorate has dedicated a large number of people, and has been preparing the most basic houses, farm tools, and livestock for them. More importantly, in the Qin State, they had to bear a large amount of conscription, which was not in the area ruled by Zhengdongfu, and under Gao Yuan's rule, all conscription was purchased by the government with money, that is, as long as you participated, you would have to get paid.

Although the Zhengdong Mansion has sent people to preach the policy of the Zhengdong Mansion among these captives, this is too different from the policy of the Qin people after all, it is completely a heaven and an underground, it is difficult to believe, even if the previous Qin people in Shannan County show up to say, it is difficult to believe, in the eyes of these captive Qin people, the Liaodong Peninsula, the place where the Donghu people were entrenched in the past, that is where the barbarians are located, it is a remote place that is much more poor and difficult than the place where they are staying now.

The reason why Qin Lei was assigned to lead thousands of generations of state soldiers to be responsible for this operation was because He Lanxiong found that the modern state soldiers were still quite far behind the Shannan soldiers under the command of Feng Fayong in terms of combat effectiveness and discipline execution, not to mention compared with other expeditionary armies, this time the long journey of thousands of miles, and the five thousand troops escorted ten times as many prisoners as themselves, for these Daijun soldiers, it was not easier than fighting a battle. He Lanxiong hopes that this action will improve their combat effectiveness.

"General Qin, this trip has been hard!" He Lanxiong looked at Qin Lei, "There are a large number of people, and there are old and young, most of them are women, children and young children, it is cold and snowy, the road is difficult, General Qin also asks for a lot of trouble along the way, try to send them safely with as few dead people as possible, you must know that Lord Sun Xiaosun of the Liaodong Metropolitan Protector is still counting on these people!"

"Commander, rest assured." Qin Lei touched his gray beard, "Qin is old, and he can't fight as well as a young man, but this job is nothing."

"General Qin, don't underestimate this." He Lanxiong smiled, "It's not easier than fighting a battle. Although it is to escort prisoners, our army still has to demand the army with wartime discipline, and the Judge Advocate General will send personnel to follow and record General Qin's actions throughout the process."

Qin Lei's face changed slightly.

"General Qin doesn't need to be careful, the personnel of the Judge Advocate General's Department will never interfere with any of General Qin's orders, he will only faithfully record all the actions of the army along the way." He Lanxiong smiled and said, "This is the norm in my Eastern Army."

He Lanxiong paused and lowered his voice, "General Qin, I won't hide it from you, this time I will conquer the Eastern Mansion to establish a country, after the establishment of the country, the army will be divided into three levels, the first line is the guard, mainly guarding the capital and the pro-army as the governor, this is the strongest combat effectiveness of the troops, the second level is the field army, just like the four major field armies of our Eastern Army, the third level is the local town army, then whether it is equipment, military pay will be far lower than the first and second level troops. Tomorrow in the spring, the troops will be reorganized, General Qin, do you understand what I mean?"

Qin Lei was shocked all of a sudden, he really didn't know this news, He Lanxiong had sold him a great favor, and he hugged his fists as a salute at the moment: "Thank you, commander, I understand, I will do a good job, and the soldiers will never become soldiers. Although Qin is old, he doesn't want to go to the town army to mess around."

He Lanxiong returned the salute with a smile: "General Qin has worked hard all the way."

Qin Lei stopped talking, turned around and beat his horse away.

Gongsun Yi on the side smiled: "Please not be as good as the general, the commander has good means."

He Lanxiong said indifferently: "What is a good means?" What I'm saying is true."

Gongsun Yi spread his hands, "By the way, I haven't congratulated the commander on getting a nephew, all the generals below are clamoring to congratulate the commander, and today I won't get drunk or return."

He Lanxiong snorted, "For the sake of this kid, my sister almost lost her life, and I'm a little annoyed when I think about it. It's a shame that my sister is in good health!"

"What kind of person is the head of the Helan Sect, how can he be knocked down by such a trivial matter as giving birth to a doll, of course, it is a good fortune when he is killed!"

"You know. Are there few women in your tribe who have died in childbirth all these years? But you're right, my sister is a blessed person, naturally everything is auspicious, go, go back to drink, don't get drunk and don't return, there is no Ning Xin's demon here, deal with you, I'm not ready to catch you."

"The tiger is hard to defeat the wolves, commander, you are the master of the matter today, everyone is gearing up, you can take a look!" Gongsun Yiwei smiled.

Double happiness is coming, the generals of Zhengdong Mansion in Shannan County are naturally a booze, even if Helanxiong is massive, he has also been poured to the ground, and the generals who are qualified to join this banquet, except for Feng Fayong is the landlord, everyone toasts and has moderation, so that he still remains sober, and the others are basically carried back by their own guards like sacks.

However, even though it was a carnival all night, but in the early morning of the next day, with the sound of the military horn, these generals who were still drunk and unconscious last night all appeared in their own troops in unison. Except in wartime, early training is thunder.

And Helanxiong is already preparing to return to Jicheng, as the new year is approaching step by step, generals of his level need to rush to Jicheng to participate in this grand ceremony, and people like Zhao Yong, Feng Fayong and others are also going to return to Jicheng with him.

Just when Helan Xiong was on his way home, in Dayan Lake, Dayan County, which was even more farther away, two old men wrapped in heavy furs and sitting cross-legged on animal skin mattresses on the ice were fishing in the snow.

Two holes the size of sea bowls were dug into the ice, Zhou Yuan was engrossed in nailing the fishing line, and suddenly with a hey, his wrist flicked, and as the fishing rod went up, a fish was pulled to the ice, and after jumping on the ice a few times, it froze stiff and could no longer move. There was already a family member standing on the side, and they quickly stepped forward to pick up the frozen fish.

"Go and clean up, beat it thinly, and then adjust the condiment, this fish has to be fresh, after a long time, the taste is much worse." Zhou Yuan waved his arms and shouted loudly.

Tian Dan looked at Zhou Yuan thoughtfully, "I really didn't expect that Taiwei Zhou, who used to be dominant, has now become like this."

Zhou Yuan laughed, "Brother Tian, this day is comfortable, there is no need to intrigue anymore, there is no need to rack your brains to plan the future of national affairs, all day long, fishing and reading and horses, is it really happy?"

"Brother Zhou is really willing?"

"Why not!" Zhou Yuan put down the fishing rod and looked at Tian Dan, "Now I'm very convinced, this kid Gao Yuan is indeed doing much better than me."

"But Yan Guo is about to be gone!"

"So what?" Zhou Yuan picked up the bait again on the hook, "Hundreds of years ago, was there a Yan Kingdom?" No, further along, there is not even the Great Zhou, there are talented people in the country, we are old, and we have lost, and if we lose, we have to admit it with grace, and compared to those who lose and lose their families and heirs, don't you think we are very happy now?"

"The Yan Kingdom is gone, but the Qi Kingdom is still there!" Tian Dan threw the fishing rod.

Zhou Yuange laughed, "Brother Tian, forgive me for telling the truth, Qi Guo will be gone soon, your two sons fight for life and death, vowing not to stand together, Gao Yuan can't free up his hand now, once he frees up his hand, do you think Qi people can still hold on?"

Tian Dan was silent.

"If your two sons can put aside their prejudices and work together to block foreign enemies, maybe they can hold on longer, now in this situation, it is only a matter of time before they fall, not to mention Gao Yuan, the Chu people are also sharpening their knives now!" Zhou Yuan put the fishing line back into the hole and looked at Tian Dan with a wink: "Instead of thinking about how to revive the Qi Kingdom now, you should think about how to protect your Tian family?" Just like me."

"You have a granddaughter married to Gao Yuan's son, but I don't." Tian Dan was not angry.

Zhou Yuan laughed, "I asked you to come out fishing today, I want to tell you, tomorrow I will leave for Jicheng, Gao Yuan is about to establish a country, the day is set on the first day of the new year, I will go to Jicheng to give him a platform!"

"Platform, what do you mean?"

"What Gao Yuan said in the letter, I don't know what a platform is, probably because an old guy like me needs to give him a strong momentum!" Zhou Yuan said with a smile. You can't go, so I've made a special appointment for you to come and fish for a few drinks today, and I'll have to come back tomorrow in the spring."

"If you want to come to Gao Yuan to establish a country, my two unlucky sons will send people there, and Gao Yuan will naturally not allow me to appear there."

"Brother Tian really sees thousands of miles, and I heard the news in private, your two sons also want to take advantage of this opportunity to do something, the eldest is trying to save you back, the second brother, but he wants your life, tsk, after I leave, this place will be lively!"

Tian Dan paused and said: "Both of them are bastards, isn't this sending someone to death?"

"You know, but they don't necessarily understand it too!" Zhou Yuan shook his head and said. Forget it, don't talk about these things, Brother Tian, you are also Lao Luo, what you want to do is now powerless, it's better to let go of those things, live every day, come on, try my sashimi, this winter fish from Dayan Lake, made into fish fillet, that is a must, you can't eat it anywhere else."
