Chapter 686 Returns
The autumn wind is coming to an end, the north wind is quietly dominant, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
People's enthusiasm was also greatly affected, the banks of the Yellow River resumed confrontation, the Tanglin ferry, Hongnong was occupied by the Jin army, and the Tang army of Tongguan was far away.
The hostile sides on the east and west banks were huddled in the city, across the river, and their armies were mobilized, but on the whole, the cost of forcibly crossing the Yellow River was very high, and no one would act rashly.
By the end of July, the situation was more or less settled, the shore was completely quiet, the army was preparing for the winter, and neither side showed any intention of crossing the river in the middle of winter to fight again.
Li Po then asked people to pack up and prepare to return to Jinyang.
Before this, Li Po summoned the generals of all the departments on the other side to the camp and gave some advice, saying that there was not much new in what he said, that is, to sort out the subordinates of the various departments, which not only gave them a certain right of self-dictatorship, but also drew a bottom line, so as not to let everyone not work together, or to fight on their own, and act rashly.
At this time, the shortcomings of Jinyang being too far away from the front of the battle were further revealed, but at this time, Li Po had no intention of moving his Han Palace's mansion to Jiangjun.
Because it was too troublesome, as the Han Wangfu moved south, all the subordinate yamen built in Jinyang had to move south, which involved definitely not one person or two people, or one yamen and two yamen, but a rather huge project.
It is clearly inappropriate at such a time.
And Jinyang also has its advantages, it is the last line of defense against the Turks, once there is something in the north, in Jinyang's various ministries and offices, the military can respond quickly.
In other words, Li Po has never relaxed his guard against the northern Turks, because Li Tang, the Turks are the two peaks in his heart, and the two mountains that he wants to get rid of quickly.
In addition, judging from the current situation, Li Tang's flaws will become more and more, and strategically, he is also doing his best to find fighters, and it is a matter of time before he enters Kansai, and this point in time is likely to be two years after tomorrow.
Once you enter the hinterland of Kansai and dig the Li family's lair, Chang'an is the best heart, where it is not comparable to Jinyang in any way, so it is a little redundant to move the Han Wangfu south to Jiangjun at this time.
In other words, it's not that Li Po doesn't want to do this, but since he started the army, it has changed every year, which is dazzling and dizzying.
Almost all long-term plans, in the midst of such violent turmoil, will not have a chance to proceed smoothly.
The trip unsurprisingly dragged on for a few more days, and when the time entered August, the north wind gradually became stronger, and Li Pocai led the people to leave the bank of the Yellow River and come north.
This time, Wang drove the tour, which is considered to have come to an end, and like other things, plans and changes were mixed together, making Li Po's first trip full of variables.
Regarding the gains and losses of this trip, Li Po actually does not have a clear concept.
The counties and counties in Hedong are still in the recovery period, in fact, there is nothing to see, and it is difficult to see clearly the virtues and abilities of the officials and the gains and losses of their administration in such a careless inspection.
In general, Li Po feels that this is a form greater than the actual thing, unless it is necessary, it is better to do less in the future, which makes many people worry and hurt the people and money, so why bother, we can't learn from Yang Er and take everything for granted.
After a trip out, Li Po seems to have understood some truths again, but in fact, everyone understands some truths, it just depends on whether you are willing to do it according to reason.
Just like Li Po, he also knew that the reason for this trip was quite far-fetched, but he still came out, even if he felt that there was no need to go out on patrol, it was far better to stay in Jinyang and improve the system and regulations, but he could still find sufficient reasons for himself.
For example, when Wang Shichong came to the west, he inserted a foot in Henan, which shows that he is still very prescient, if he is in Jinyang when he receives the news, maybe he will not be able to rush to the river in time, because the various armies are not under the same command, the loss of the fighter plane is almost certain.
Such a powerful reason was enough to cover up the shortcomings of his travels, but unfortunately, there was not enough time, otherwise, he would have preferred to go north.
I haven't been back to Mayi for a few years, and I miss it a lot......
Facing the north wind, the group crossed the state and headed north.
First to Jiangjun, Li Po stayed here for three days, no matter what, this is the hinterland of the Hedong Plain, the population, arable land are all Hedong chiefs, and the local clan power is also extremely strong, only slightly inferior to Jinyang, if Li Po can ascend to that position, the Hedong Daozhi will inevitably be located in Jiangjun.
To be honest, Li Po didn't like it very much, and the reason why he didn't like Jinyang very much, he could see groups of children of the clan here, which affected his mood a lot.
And according to this reason, the place where he stops will not please him in the future.
Of course, as the owner of Jindi, he will inevitably have to deal with these characters, so the so-called dislike can only be relative.
In fact, many of the children of the clan are not so disgusting, on the contrary, they are much more pleasing to the eye than those reckless heroes.
When he left Jiangxian, there were a lot of people to see him off, and Zhao Ying, the Taishou of Jiangxian who came to the pinnacle of his life, finally reluctantly found an opportunity to introduce several county teenagers to His Royal Highness the King of Han.
It's a pity that Li Po didn't have the habit of judging backwards, and at the same time he didn't have the leisure, just patiently encouraged a few words, then rolled up a cloud of smoke and dust, and continued the journey north.
All the way through Linfen, Jiexiu, when I came to Pingyao, I saw the people in Jinyang headed by Wen Yanbo, the secretary of the ministry, to greet Wang Jia.
This time to welcome the king of Han back to Jinyang, the posture is very different from the past, everyone in the left of the Dao to see the ceremony, the team is also made of strict hierarchy, the hierarchy is clear.
"Greetings to the King's Victory and Return to ......"
Everyone bowed to the ground together, and the surrounding soldiers and generals bowed down at the same time, the atmosphere was solemn and serious, and Li Po was completely revealed.
Li Po didn't stay immersed for too long, because everyone didn't let him calm down and experience it carefully, so they hugged him on the road.
Pingyao, which was as empty as a barren mound that day, has now changed its appearance, and people with knives on their waists can be seen everywhere, these are all government soldiers, mostly from the Tang army to surrender prisoners, which is destined to Pingyao's folk customs are fierce and martial.
For the officials of Pingyao, it is naturally not a good thing, but once the army is recruited, a place like Pingyao can become an army almost in the blink of an eye......
In the blink of an eye, Jinyang was already in sight, another year was almost over, Li Po felt that time was really too fast, since he started the army to the present, more than ten years have passed in a flash, and he has been nearly thirty years old from a teenager.
The war in the world is still going on, but he has become a prince of a land from a pawn, and it is just right for people to say that thirty and standing are used on him.
Looking at the thick city wall of Jinyang, Li Po thought a lot...... Wish...... When you reach the age of 30, you can go to the next level...... Let the world really be peaceful.
When the king of Han returned, the city rejoiced.
Before entering the city, Chen Xiaoyi had already led Zhongshu, the chief and deputy officials of the six departments, and the generals of the Weifu stationed in Jinyang to greet him outside the city.
"Welcome back to the king, the king has worked hard all the way."
This time, the sense of ceremony is stronger, as far as the eye can see, there are figures kneeling on the ground, but behind them, there is a tall and thick Jinyang city wall.
Li Po, who was sitting on the horse, looked around smugly, and only after a long time did he turn over and dismount, helped the white-haired Chen Xiaoyi up, waved his hand vigorously, and said, "Get up......
Only then did people get up one after another, but they didn't know who it was, and suddenly roared, "King Han is mighty." ”
Suddenly, something seemed to be ignited, first some people echoed, and then it converged into a torrent, the mountains shouted and the tsunami, the sound shook the four fields, and it shook in the sky of Jinyang.
In front of Li Po, Chen Xiaoyi bowed down and said with a smile: "The people's hearts are available, this is a sign of great achievement." ”
Wen Yanbo also echoed beside him, "The auspicious omen is complete, the great cause will be prosperous, it seems that the king is on the ninety-five, and the day of the dragon and the phoenix is not far away." ”
Li Po laughed and looked very happy, but said in his heart, do you really dare to say that Lao Tzu died fast enough? I also took the dragon and the phoenix, and I also drove the crane to the west......
After entering the city, the scene became more lively, the people welcomed the return of the King of Han, and there were many worshippers who burned incense, and Li Po didn't know if this was arranged, or if he was really so popular.
Anyway, I definitely haven't enjoyed this kind of treatment before.
When she arrived at the gate of the Han Palace, Li Bi, the princess of the Han Dynasty, led everyone in the Han Palace's Mansion to greet the gate of the palace, and it was a lively time, and Li Po was a little dizzy.
In fact, this is the glory that the princes of a place deserve, and the reason why it has not appeared before is only because he Li Po has not yet become king, and the foundation is not stable, so it is inconvenient for people to organize this kind of ceremony.
Now that everything is on the right track, then etiquette must also keep up, otherwise, why have so many people thrown their heads and spilled blood since ancient times to want to be the king and hegemon, in fact, what they want is just this kind of power in their hands and the scene of thousands of people admired.
After entering the Han Palace, Chen Xiaoyi and the others were temporarily sent away, Li Pocai felt a little cleaner, returned to the back house of the mansion, washed up, and then went to the flower hall to talk to his wife and concubine.
Looking at the red eyes with bulging belly, Li Po wanted to laugh, this tall and powerful guy who didn't belong to him was also pregnant with a cub, and he didn't know what the child would look like.
Seeing her husband look over, the red eyes that were very real obviously misunderstood the meaning of the heartless guy, when even if she patted her belly and signaled that she was doing well, don't worry about anything, but it scared Li Po, this bastard girl, do you want to scare Lao Tzu to death?
