"General, there's news from the Western Regions."

Li Xun was discussing matters with Sima Zhen and the county commanders of Wuhua, Wuzhuo, Linxia, and Wu'an counties, when a soldier walked in, holding a letter in his hand, stepped forward and handed it to Li Xun.

Li Xun opened the letter and looked at it, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"Good news from the Western Regions?"

Sima Zhen asked out loud.

Li Xun nodded and handed the letter to Sima Zhen: "Hammer has been recalled to Marmara. ”

"Hammerezi returns to Marmara, and your plan has succeeded."

Sima Zhen finished reading the letter, and the content in it was very simple, just two sentences, the imperial envoy suddenly arrived, and Hammerezi returned to the imperial capital.

Li Xun smiled: "I can't say that it is a plan, just to test the attitude of the Dashi Empire towards this matter, now it seems that they have no intention of competing with Dajin at present." ”

Suzhou suppressed bandits, Ye Shanhong and other bandit forces were uprooted, and the bandit leader Depula was captured alive.

Li Xun has actually been a little puzzled, the bandit forces in Suzhou can be quickly assembled in a short period of time, there must be other reasons, and Ye Shanhong's bandits, thousands of war horses, weapons and equipment are very sophisticated, this is not in line with common sense, so after Depura and the bandit leaders were arrested, Li Xun immediately ordered people to interrogate strictly, only to learn that this time Suzhou bandits, the governor of Xizhou, Hammerezi, was also involved, he secretly sent people, bypassed the Mulang River, entered Wuzhou through Dayin Mountain, took the trail, went to Suzhou, and sent a large number of materials to Depla's handsIt is precisely because of these things that Depra promised many benefits after the victory over the Suzhou official army to gather bandit forces from all directions, which is able to quickly gather a powerful force.

But Hammerezi's instruction to Depra was not for him to send troops to attack the county seat, but to gather strength, preserve strength, press the troops, hide in the mountains and forests, and wait for the Xizhou side to march in the future.

Li Xun sent some people to Xizhou to spread the news that Hammer Euqi colluded with the Suzhou bandits in order to provoke a war, which was just a temptation for Li Xun to test the strategic attitude of the Dashi Empire towards the Great Jin, and then, Hammer Euzi was recalled to Marmara and sent an envoy to Fengjing again, which was called a normal diplomatic exchange between the two countries, but in fact it was a manifestation of his attitude.

Sima Zhen said: "The defense on the side of Dayin Mountain has a big hole, and it is a big hidden danger in Wuzhou, so it must be guarded against. ”

Li Xun nodded and said: "I have ordered Zhao Wei to establish a stone fort at the entrance and exit of Dayin Mountain, and station two thousand soldiers at present. ”

This matter, Li Xun is also a little negligent, Fan Zhongyun once mentioned to him once, Dayin Mountain is dangerous, the road is difficult, but its passage location is very important, it is an important intersection of Longyou into Tubo, there is a small road in it, connecting Xizhou and Wuzhou, but the road is difficult to travel, and it is not convenient for the brigade to march.

Dayin Mountain is 400 miles in radius, and there are more than ten nomadic tribes living in it, the ethnic composition is relatively complex, and it involves Tubo, Li Xun has no energy to care about it at present.

"Governor Li, military matters, the people of your Governor's Mansion, discuss it yourself, you summoned us here today, you have other things to discuss, please don't delay the time, I'm very busy."

Zhou Qing said with some dissatisfaction.

Sima Zhen looked at him and said with a light smile: "Zhou Qing, don't be so angry, you can talk about things well." ”

"What Sima learned from his predecessors is that he remembered it in his later years."

Zhou Qing arched his hand, although he admitted his mistake, but his face was a little unconvinced, but Sima Zhen is a respectable old-timer, since he has spoken, whether it is right or wrong, out of politeness, Zhou Qing can't argue with him about anything.

Sima Zhen smiled, he admired Zhou Qing very much, and felt that Zhou Qing was very similar to him when he was young, upright, fearless, and talented.

Regarding Zhou Qing's disrespectful remarks, Li Xun just smiled and didn't say anything, those who are in high positions must be generous, and those who are calculating will not be able to do great things.

Li Xun recently in the name of the Longyou West Road Supervision Envoy, several times convened the five counties in Wuzhou to come to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters, except for the Shenchi County County Order, the other four counties of the county orders are all on time, the imperial court wants to move 200,000 foreign people in Wuzhou to Suzhou, Li Xun is looking for them, it is for this matter, Li Xun means very clearly, let them try to promote this matter with gentle means, don't be anxious, don't use force, although this matter, it is not Li Xun's turn to manage, but with his status and rights in Wuzhou today, His voice, these county orders, dare not ignore it, no one dares to treat it sloppily, after all, even a person with a big background like Wu Heng, the assassin of Wuzhou, has been rectified by Li Xun without a voice, what are they?

Zhou Qing said impatiently: "Governor Li, you have repeatedly emphasized this matter many times, do you need to keep saying it?" We're all too busy to talk to you here. ”

Li Xun's suggestion, Zhou Qing actually agreed very much, otherwise he would not have come here.

Several other county magistrates secretly glanced at Zhou Qing, and secretly sweated in their hearts, this young county magistrate, his courage is really terrifying, what kind of person is Li Xun, he dares to face so many people without giving any face.

Li Xun said with a smile: "When I summoned you to come, I said hello in advance, if you are impatient, why do you want to come?" Isn't that an extra move! ”

Zhou Qing's face suddenly turned a little red, his sense of Li Xun was very bad at first, but the two have worked together in Wuzhou for a while, and many ideas coincide, so Zhou Qing has some changes in Li Xun's impression, and his impression has changed a little, and the two of them thought of one thing again, which is why Li Xun summoned everyone to discuss this matter, and he followed.

"There are still many things to deal with in the county government, so I'll go first."

Zhou Qing stood up, arched his hand at Sima Zhen, and then strode away without looking at Li Xun.

Li Xun frowned slightly, then returned to his original state, and smiled at everyone: "Zhou County has a step in advance, let's continue." ”

Several county commanders secretly glanced at Li Xun a few times, and felt that this person was young, and he was the governor of Wuzhou, and his temper was really good.
