Of course, the Hexi army captured more than Taiyuan Mansion, including Taiyuan Mansion, Shizhou, Fenzhou, Lanzhou, Xinzhou, Daizhou, Shuozhou, Yunzhou, Ulzhou and other prefectures, which is the territory occupied by the Yuan family.

Like the reason for appointing the family, the most important thing in Hedong now is stability, people's stability, economic stability, and stability of the situation, which can create conditions for his next move.

In the past two days, the assassins of various states have arrived in Taiyuan, they have come to participate in the opening ceremony of Taiyuan New Mansion, but this is only a reason, the real reason is to come to meet the new lord of the northeast of He.

The first half of the official office of Jinyang Palace has been reopened, and the sign of the Hedong Jiedu envoy has also been officially hung up, Guo Song once again served as the Hedong Jiedu envoy and concurrently served as the Hedong Provincial Observation Envoy, commanding the military and political power, but he, the Hedong Jiedu envoy and the Hedong Observation Envoy, only set up a Suzheng Tai Inspection Bureau, which is responsible for the supervision of Hedong government affairs, military and criminal law.

The states still report directly to the Hexi Jiedu Mansion, in fact, it is still a bit unreasonable, the Hexi Jiedu Mansion should only be in charge of Hexi, and not also in charge of Anxi, Beiting, Longyou, Shuofang, Hedong and other places, should set up a royal palace, just like Cao Cao's Wei Wangfu, Li Shimin's Tiance General's Mansion, its own set of subordinate official system.

Each feudal town established a feudal bureau before, that is, they opened their own mansions and placed officials, and now everyone has been named a prince king, of course, a small court is directly built under the palace.

Guo Song is now only the king of the county, and he has not yet obtained the power to open the government and place officials, he just used a workaround, using the Hexi Jiedu Mansion as his highest authority.

It seems a bit like bullying honest people, and the rebellious feudal towns have all been crowned princes and kings, while the Jiedu envoy who supports the imperial court is only a county king, but this is Guo Song's political cleverness, using a low profile in exchange for fame, supporting orthodoxy, and winning the support of the world's families, but the actual benefits are not at all.

In the inner hall of Hedong Jiedu Mansion, Guo Song met with the first assassin who came to visit him, Yunzhou Assassin Li Dian, Li Dian was originally Shuozhou Sima, he organized a militia a few years ago to resist the harassment of a small group of Hui soldiers to the south, and had a high reputation among the people.

Yunzhou only one county in the clouds, the population is less than 10,000 people, but the pottery industry is more developed, every household is made of ceramics, sold to Hui and Sijie, in addition to Yunzhou County, there are some scattered Han towns in other places, there are many herdsmen, the total population is only 10,000 households.

Although Yunzhou is sparsely populated, its strategic position is very important, it is the bridgehead of the Turkic or Hui invasion of the south, this time the Hexi army killed the 3,000 Hui troops stationed in Yunzhou, I believe that the Hui can not swallow this bad breath, will definitely invade again.

Therefore, Guo Song attached great importance to Li Dian and Yunzhou, and was the first to meet Li Dian.

"How are the people in Yunzhou now?" Guo Song asked.

"Envoy Qi, after we recovered Yunzhou, we actually cut off the source of income for the people of Yunzhou to a certain extent."

"Why is that?" Guo Song asked puzzled.

"After Hui occupied Yunzhou, in order to control it for a long time, he used the means of entrapment to buy a large number of ceramics fired by the people of Yunzhou.

"The pottery they fired can be sold to Taiyuan, isn't it?"

Li Dian smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know, maybe the Hui people don't have high requirements for quality, and only require large and practical, so Yunzhou pottery is generally big and clumsy, and no one will want that kind of clumsy pottery when it comes to Taiyuan." ”

"Then the government will buy it and sell it to the Sijie people, or transport it to Hexi and sell it to the Qiang people and the Tubo people, they should be able to accept it."

"The lowly position is also considered in this way, first the government buys it, and then let them slowly switch to farming, and it will take three years to solve this problem."

"What about the defense of the city in the clouds?" Guo Song asked again.

"Qi Yu envoy, the city defense situation of Yunzhong City is not bad, after all, it was the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the foundation is very good, the city wall is built with the big bluestone of Wuzhou Mountain, strong and sturdy, up to three zhang, the city head is wide, the circumference is as long as forty miles, you can grow grain and vegetables in the city, if there are 10,000 troops guarding Yunzhou County, the Hui people can not attack it."

Guo Song took a few steps, he fought countless battles with the nomads, and knew their offensive strategy, Yunzhong City was not the target of the Hui people, they generally did not attack the city, but directly bypassed the city and went south, of course, if the Hui just wanted to restore their rule over Yunzhou, then they would definitely attack Yunzhong City, and this possibility was extremely high.

Thinking of this, Guo Song said to Li Dian: "After this period of time, I will return to Hexi from Yunzhou and take a look at the city defense situation in Yunzhong on the spot." ”

........

The Battle of Taiyuan in Hedong finally shocked the world, Zhu Tao was severely defeated, but the Hexi Army destroyed the Yuan clan and occupied a capital and eight prefectures in the north of Hedong Province, which made the feudal towns look sideways, and also shocked Zhu Zhu, but the greatest impact was the Southern Tang Dynasty and the opposition.

For a few days, the streets and alleys of Chengdu and the hundred officials of the imperial court are talking about the battle of Taiyuan, if the Hexi army occupies Shuofang and makes Guo Song become a veritable king of the west, then the Hexi army captures Taiyuan and exterminates the Yuan clan, just like a sharp sword straight into the Central Plains, just like a Dapeng that travels under the nine heavens, and sends a high-pitched chirp to the world, Guo Song finally grows up step by step, becoming a mountain that the hundred officials and the world look up to.

However, at this time, the Chengdu court was looming with another disturbing haze, the emperor still controlled the military power, he used the eunuchs as the supervisor of the army, controlled the army of Liangzhejiang, Jiangnan West Road and Lingnan Province, and at the same time used the army as a starting point to control the appointment and dismissal of local officials outside Bashu and the transfer of finance and taxes, without the consent of the emperor, even a penny was not expected to be transported into Bashu.

And Li Yi, the Son of Heaven, only controlled Chengdu and Bashu, and the Southern Tang Dynasty actually formed two power centers, and the officials realized that the abdication of Li Shi, the Son of Heaven, was actually to retreat and advance, and he was not really willing to give up power.

In order to obtain the salt tax of Jianghuai and the money and grain of Liangzhejiang, Li Yi had to compromise with his father and give up the right to appoint Xiangguo.

In the imperial garden, Li Shi walked slowly with a cane, followed by his henchman eunuch Huo Xianming, Li Shi was good at power, he not only controlled the military power and the relative power, but also set up the position of military counselor in the palace, and participated in the military of the world.

He let Huo Xianming take this position, which invisibly made Huo Xianming and Song Chaofeng form a competitive trend, so that the eunuchs in the palace were divided into two camps, the Song Party and the Huo Party.

"Your Majesty, Duqiu proposed this morning that Guo Song be crowned the king of Jin and allow him to open a mansion and place officials, the Son of Heaven was a little hesitant, but the right minister Han Yun and the left minister Zhang Yansheng were unanimously opposed."

Li Shi was a little puzzled: "It's really strange, didn't Guo Song be pulled up by Han Rong?" Why is Han Yun also against this? ”

"Han Yun himself said that he has never been right about things and people, he used to support Guo Song to guard the frontier, but now Guo Song's power is too big and there is a danger of getting out of control, at this time he can only shrink his ambitions, but not indulge."

"Shrink its ambitions?"

Li Shi sneered, "Guo Song is already sitting big, how can he shrink?" It's a shame that he's still the right minister, doesn't he know that at this time, he can only be sparse and can't be blocked? ”

"The Emperor Takami!"

Huo Xianming hurriedly patted his ass and said: "In fact, the old slave also thinks that Han Huang is attacking Guo Song at this time, in fact, he is shirking his responsibility for recommending Guo Song in the first place, the Son of Heaven is too young to see through this, or the emperor's eyes are like torches." ”

Li Shi took two steps and said: "Which of those Hebei feudal towns is not the prince of the imperial court, and what is wrong with making Guo Song the king of Jin?" not only to be crowned king, but also to allow him to open a government and place officials, admit the facts, and be a favor, which can be regarded as a favor for him. ”

"The old slave completely agrees with the emperor's opinion, instead of letting Zhu Jun crown him as the king, it is also like His Majesty's royal mouth and personal seal, besides, Guo Song is a foreign official, so naturally it should be appointed by the emperor, and the old slave suggests that the decree be issued before the Son of Heaven."

Li Shi nodded slowly, Huo Xianming still knew himself very well, and he drew Guo Song to his side, and he still needed his strong support to re-ascend the throne in the future, Li Yi didn't realize the importance of Guo Song's appeal, and he was still a little tender.

After pondering for a moment, Li Shi said: "I heard that he built the Tiance Tower, so I will crown him as the general of Tiance and allow him to open a mansion and place officials, how about it?" ”

"The emperor, it seems that Zhang Guangsheng of the puppet dynasty is also a general of Tiance."

Li Shi sneered, "What kind of thing is he, he is also worthy of being called Admiral Tiance, as long as Guo Song is named Admiral Tiance, he will have to change his official position." ”

"The emperor has insight into the world, and he is very human!"

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Shi promulgated the decree of the Emperor Taishang in the inner palace, commending Guo Song for recovering the northern capital Taiyuan, exterminating the traitor Yuan, giving him the title of King of Jin, and crowning the general of Tiance, encouraging him to exterminate the puppet dynasty as soon as possible and restore the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
