At the beginning of April, some people moved from Jinyang one after another and settled down in various places on the east bank of Fenshui.

Of course, most of them stopped north of Pingyao.

Among these people, some of them were refugees who fled north to Jinyang due to the war, and one was the son of a concubine who was not valued by the Jinyang family, and he and his brother took the slaves to the empty Pingyao to start a new life.

The situation is not as bad as Li Po imagined, although the population has been greatly reduced, and the labor force is even more scarce, but the land is still very attractive.

In Chen Xiaoyi's letter, when talking about the Jinyang clan, he used the word "ready to move".

It's just that before Li Po left, he gave the Jinyang clan two blows, which made them quite afraid, and they didn't dare to let go of their hands and feet, and acted wantonly.

Chen Xiaoyi discussed with Wen Yanbo and others, and rejected this kind of practice of taking advantage of the war to annex land, of course, this kind of behavior must also be contrary to some functions of the government.

The use of the equal-land system to this day is not obvious in the inhibition of land annexation, but the concept and general direction are not wrong, and the officials are also very sensitive to the land expansion of large ethnic groups, but many times they do not look at all this fairly.

Because most of them are from big families, and their butts are just biased.

Li Po thought about it for two days, and wrote back to Chen Xiaoyi, asking him to relax the decree for the time being, and make a fuss about taxes later.

According to Li Po's view, in the next few decades, I am afraid that there will be no soil for the chronic disease of land annexation in the world, and now that the war is far from over, this timetable is estimated to be a hundred years away.

It is not an exaggeration to say that people are worried about land annexation now, of course, there is still a fear of local clans.

This kind of hidden worry is also not seen in Li Po's eyes, as long as the military and political power is in hand, there are many means that are easy to use, why waste food because of choking?

Like many things before him, he can look at problems with an open eye, and will not let the current things be hindered or even hesitate because of the possible consequences in the future, because he always feels that there are more ways to solve the problem, rather than striving for perfection, and does not want the problem to happen at all.

In terms of talent, his meaning has always been very clear, the gate valve, officials, gentry, and Li Shu all have to pay taxes, even if they can't let the gate valve clan and officials pay more, they must not be left behind.

In the same way, he has no intention of using strong means, in fact, it is no different from fighting, with such a clear goal, the rest is just to go step by step, and seeing the stitches has always been his forte.

Interestingly, Chen Xiaoyi expressed great surprise at He Chou's arrival, but in the end, it was a little sour.

Although it is a little more obscure, Li Po has also read a lot of books, and his brain is still moving fast, and he understands it after thinking about it for a long time, this person feels that he is not young, why haven't I seen you take such care of me?

He Chou can receive such a courtesy when he first comes, is it that I am so dedicated to helping your old minister, not as good as a newcomer who has just arrived?

Okay, Li Pozhi, who looked at this sour breath, had a straight toothache, but he was funny but he would not slack off, and after replying to Chen Xiaoyi, he immediately wrote to Li Bi, asking her to take care of Chen Taishou's emotions more depending on the situation.

At this time, the generals of each ministry held a military discussion in Jiexiu for a few days, and then returned to the ministry one after another.

The arrangement of the army began to move one after another according to Li Po's plan, looking for a suitable place to be stationed, and it was inevitable that morale would be low.

It's like a gambler who is happy to win, but is forced to drink, and he is very disappointed.

However, only Luo Shixin ran to Li Po and muttered a few words, and the others didn't have the guts, so they could only take their orders and leave without mentioning it.

It can be said that after the vigorous Battle of Jiexiu, the army gradually calmed down.

Of course, the nearly 100,000 army is idle, and they can't stop practicing, and the consumption of grain and grass is really distressing enough, if it was left a year ago, Li Po would definitely not be able to withstand it.

And now, with the abundance of food and grass, he has been very patient.

Moreover, this is different from the previous wars, fighting with the Tang army of Jindi, there is a tendency to bully the weak, no matter what kind of situation the next war takes, it will not bring too much danger, which also strengthens his patience.

………………………………

In the spring of this year, the war in Jindi was rekindled, and the Hebei side was not bad, Dou Jiande finally couldn't bear the loneliness, and waved his troops north to begin to annex Youzhou, and at the same time, his henchmen also began to attack the local guards in Shandong who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

Because of the shortage of grain and grass, there are many rumors of cannibalism in Hebei and Shandong.

In fact, the war in Hebei and Shandong can no longer be as fierce as it was back then, even if Dou Jiande has been working hard, but under natural and man-made disasters, most places in Hebei and Shandong have been scorched earth.

The people who claim to be the kings here are actually digging their own graves.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty accomplished one of his goals, almost fundamentally destroying the remnants of the military group in Hebei and Shandong, and buried the souls of millions by the way.

Li Mi of Henan began to storm Luoyang in the spring, and in April, Li Mi's army, which had been entangled in Henan for several years, was finally exhausted, and gradually ran out of blood under the fortified city of Luoyang.

As a result, the sequelae of Huo and Zhai Rang broke out in an all-round way.

A civil strife was staged in Li Mi's army in early April, when Zhai Rang the old general Shan Xiongxin and others instigated his soldiers to mutiny, attacked Li Mi's army and failed to attack him, so he voted for Wang Shichong.

It was almost a chain reaction, and then Li Mi suspected that Xu Shiyun and other Zhai Rang old generals were conspiring with Shan Xiongxin and others, and wanted to get rid of them.

Xu Shiyun and others were terrified, led the army west, and set up an ambush at the foot of the Qijie Ridge, defeated the pursuers, and stationed troops in Michi to wait and see, and did not rush west to Tongguan to surrender to Tang, because Li Yuan's prestige had passed its peak at this time, and the effect was not very good.

The righteous name occupied by Li Yuan has actually disappeared at the moment when he ascended the throne, and has been replaced by a barely orthodox name, because he occupies Chang'an, Xijing, and his identity is a relative of the Sui family.

But having said that, after the wars and turmoil everywhere in recent years have occupied the commanding heights of people's thinking, it is actually strength that is still seen.

After Li Yuan became emperor, there was indeed a period of expansion, but it was very short, in the subsequent campaign, he fell into a predicament, without the victory on the battlefield to rely on, Li Tang's reputation was gradually fading, and the attraction to the heroes of all parties was gradually insufficient.

This kind of hidden loss will gradually seriously hurt Li Tang with the passage of time.

Like Xu Shiyun is a very typical example, after leaving the west, Xu Shiyun felt that descending to the Tang Dynasty was the right way, because he never wanted to be a bandit, and he was actually a departure to Zhai Rang, Li Mi and others, and there was no loyalty at all.

But most of his subordinates were unwilling, some wanted to avenge Zhai Rang, some were Wagang bandits back then, and they didn't seem to be interested in the official army by nature, and some were born in the government soldiers, and they were very disgusted with the Kansai people, and some were timid, afraid that they would worry about their lives if they voted for Li Tang.

Anyway, there are few firm voters of the Tang faction.

At this time, Xu Shiyun was conceited and strategic, and felt that he lived in a filthy place, and the defects of being lukewarm with others also leaked out, and his prestige was insufficient, and everyone listened to him when he fled for his life, but after peace, everyone had their own ideas.

At this time, it was Li Mi who gave everyone a kick and kicked them out of Henan completely.

Li Mi has fallen into a frenzy at this time, he has been fighting in Henan for several years, and he boasts that he is peerless, and he can be the hero of the troubled times, he has already thrown away his ambitions and many other advantages and qualities, and has become a demon king of troubled times who is stubborn and self-serving, and kills people at every turn.

At this time, despite the dissuasion of everyone, he personally led his troops to chase Xu Shixian.

So, without Xu Shichang saying anything, everyone surrounded him and fled frantically to Tongguan to vote for Li Jiancheng.

But Li Mi paid a heavy price for his comatose actions, Pei Xingyan and Cheng Zhijie, who were left behind by him to guard against Wang Shichong, just discussed it, and then killed Li Mi's cronies who stayed in the army, turned around and fought for many years.

Qin Qiong, Wei Zheng and others, who were stationed in Tiger Prison and eastern Henan in case Dou Jiande heard about it, they didn't need Wang Shichong to persuade him to surrender at all, and directly sent a letter to Wang Shichong asking for surrender.

By this time, Li Mi had almost betrayed his relatives, and Wang Shichong, who was surrounded in Luoyang City and did not dare to take his head, seemed to have suddenly come to life, gathered a large army, and prepared to destroy the old enemy who was still dying.

In more than half a month, Henan's gang of wall-to-wall grasses played a new trick of refuge and betrayal, once again verifying Li Po's comments back then, Henan's gang of heroes in troubled times, there is no loyalty at all.

In fact, at this time, the land of Henan was also desolate, and there were almost no more places in Hebei, Shandong and other places.

The prosperity of the eastern capital has long been a thing of the past, and the Grand Canal, which was built by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, will not be able to see half of the cloud sails.

What supports the survival of Henan people seems to be only the grain stored in the warehouses in Luoyang, which is really a very ironic result.

Of course, in any case, the war in Henan, which had been fought for several years, finally came to an end.

Henan's heroes are about to face a wolf-like foreign enemy......
