At the beginning of March, the spring breeze gradually rises and the snow melts.

The troops and brigades of the various departments of the north carried the banner and were orderly, starting from the camp of Jiangxian County and embarking on the way home in turn.

The army marched very quickly, it only took three days, the army of the army has entered Xihe County, Taishou Zhang Yunzhi led people to meet the north of the Bird Mouse Valley, and the cavalry in the direction of Jinyang also traveled back and forth on the road, in addition to always finding out where the army arrived, but also to inform the counties along the way to prepare to welcome the army to the north.

This time, Li Po led the army south for a year, and he made great contributions, breaking hundreds of thousands of Tang troops, and he was captured, and he really became the lord of Jindi.

This is a great joy for the people under his rule.

The officials rejoiced, and the lord was wise and powerful, not only invincible in the battle array, but also speechless in governance, because his rule was quickly pulling out his legs from the whirlpool of war and striding towards peace.

The goals of the officials gradually became clear, and the victory in the war could not only protect their vested interests, but also give them more hope, and in the long run, glory and wealth can be expected.

Yes, after all, there are very few wise people in the world who can stabilize the country, and most officials are just followers who follow in the footsteps of others.

If the people in front of you are unhurried and smooth, then they will be able to push you and make you walk faster and more steadily, if you stumble and clumsy, most of them will tremble, and they will be reluctant to take care of themselves, not to mention any help.

Maybe if you are crumbling, you will be given a stick behind you, and you will be knocked to the ground directly, and when everyone walks over, they will not look at you again, and the person in front of them will also change the leader to lead them forward.

This is the characteristic of the bureaucracy, there is no need to praise or disparage, most officials in the world are like this, and there is no point in attacking them.

Li Po used continuous military victories to consolidate the people's hearts, and also used a rather tolerant policy strategy to plan the speed and direction of the officials' advance.

Over the past few years, it can be said that he has made a lot of achievements in both military and political affairs, and a relatively stable Jindi military and political group has been formed in general.

In fact, the people under Li Po's rule were the most elated, they didn't have as many thoughts as officials, they wanted food and clothing, and they wanted to stay away from the suffering of war.

For this simple purpose, they even volunteered to take up swords and guns to fight for those who could give them these, just like in the past, when the war was tight, and the voices of volunteering to join the army on behalf of the middle-aged men of the two states were not small.

Because they finally tasted stability after a few years of war, then they don't need to force yourself to force yourself, they are already grateful to Dade and willing to help you.

Just like when the rebels swarmed up, it was these ordinary civilians who picked up knives and guns, killed officials, opened warehouses and released grain, and started the business of exchanging human lives for survival.

The two look completely different, but the truth contained in them is the same, and the words of the people Si'an are not so simple to understand.

Later, someone said that the power of the people is the greatest power in the world, in fact, it is the same thing as what the ancestors said, when people can't live, they will rebel and ask for peace.

When wars break out, people are fed up with the pain, and what they desperately want is peace, and when peace comes, people are very willing to protect it desperately.

Everything is related to war, but it seems to be diametrically opposed, and such a model is the root of the division and integration of the Chinese land.

And Li Po is also using practical actions to verify the bold words he said at the beginning, such as being safe and strong outside.

The effect is also very obvious, the inside is light, the people support, the bandits are gradually eliminated, and the enemies are sparsely beaten outside, and the name of good war is spread all over the world.

When he returned with his army and gradually approached his lair, he was welcomed like never before.

The closer you get to Jinyang, the more people will become, seeing the handsome flag fluttering high, the government soldiers hammer their chests, and the people bow to the ground.

Fortunately, there is no moth that beats gongs and drums, and delivers clothes and meals, otherwise, not only will the local officials be unlucky, maybe Li Po will feel that everyone is living a good life, and we should collect some taxes, right?

The army gradually left Xihe County behind, for what he saw along the way, Li Po was quite satisfied, Zhang Yunzhi did a good job, in fact, as long as Xihe County did not miss this year's spring ploughing, Li Po would give him a credit.

Moreover, he also looked at the household registration of Xihe County, although the population is still a little pitiful, but compared to what he saw when he led his troops south last year, it is not much more.

The cultivated land in Xihe County is more fertile and more than in the north, as long as it is well governed, it can be used as a good place for the granary of northern Shanxi, and no matter how prosperous Daizhou is, it cannot be compared with Xihe County.

Of course, in terms of acres of land, Xihe County still can't be compared with Jiangjun in the south, but Xihe County, which is located on the southern edge of the Taiyuan Basin, has a very superior geographical location.

The army unconsciously accelerated the speed of marching, and most of the soldiers in the army were on behalf of the soldiers, and after a year, they also had the meaning of homesickness, especially on the way back, and the nostalgia gradually shrouded in the hearts of the soldiers.

Jinyang Jiancheng was in sight, and the forward part of the army involuntarily erupted into a burst of cheers.

The officials of Jinyang, under the leadership of Chen Xiaoyi, the commander of Taiyuan County, greeted them from afar, and waited until the arrival of the Chinese army, and they all bowed down from afar.

Looking at Chen Xiaoyi's gray hair and his increasingly old face, Li Po also secretly sighed, and he didn't know if they could usher in that moment of incomparable scenery.

What Chen Xiaoyi and these old ministers lack is time and longevity, and the young and strong themselves, and those young people, may lack luck.

I didn't have time to talk in detail, and after a few words of greeting, the army continued to move forward, and with the officials of Jinyang, the Chinese army became larger and larger.

After entering Jinyang, Li Po immediately ordered that the army could rest in Jinyang for three days, and then each department would go back to the place on its own, because almost all the people who followed him to fight for a year were the defenders, in other words, when they arrived in Jinyang, in addition to Li Po's pro-army, the various departments of the army could also be disbanded.

On the evening of this day, the governor's mansion was brightly lit and the wine and meat were fragrant.

Receiving the wind banquet and celebrating the banquet, the military and political leaders in Jinyang City who received the invitation came, they came to the governor's mansion one after another, when the lanterns were on, outside the gate of the governor's mansion, the carriages and horses soon lined up in a long line.

People came one after another dressed up and with joyful faces, and greeted Su Yanshi, the governor of the mansion who welcomed the guests at the gate of the mansion, and kept asking how the governor was doing.

Su Yan coped with it easily, he had a very good life this year, his career was thriving, his body was well maintained, his energy became more and more vigorous, and he finally showed the handsome side of the world's lords, and when the wind and snow returned, the appearance of a frozen quail is simply incomparable.

At this time, Su Yan was dealing with a few steps, these guys had not gone away, and there was an extremely uncomfortable aura from the inside to the outside.

The gags are all about making fun of Su Yan, so that when Su Yan is struggling to cope, he can't help but slander in his heart, if we don't raise food and grass in the back, how can we raise a few of you so lively?

At this moment, a carriage came slowly, passed the people and horses, and slowly stopped in front of the gate of the governor's mansion.

Several generals looked sideways, and they all said in their hearts, who has such a big face, so presumptuous in front of the governor's mansion, grandma, do you want to go up and beat someone up for a while, and then talk about it?

Su Yan seemed to have seen a savior, confessed to everyone, went down the steps in a few steps, retreated, came to the car and opened the door with his own hands, lifted the curtain, and helped out an old man with gray hair inside.

The other people didn't recognize it, so they just walked in the group, "Ah, this old thing has changed......

It's not someone else, it's the official fan He Chou, who has indeed changed his appearance, he has been raised for more than half a year, plus he is respected and his mind is smooth, even if he has no official or position, there is a world of difference between his spirit and the beginning.

If it weren't for Buqun's sharp eyes, he really wouldn't have recognized that this was the old guy who was ragged last year, not much better than the beggar on the side of the road, and it seemed that there was only one breath left.

Don't look at the old things in Buqun screaming, but this old guy has a few catties and a few taels He can be very clear, he and He Chou have met in Jiexiu, and he is more interested in the person sent back by Wei Chi Gongli, and he asked about it, and he was taken aback at that time, his mother, Taifu Shaoqing, General Zuo Tunwei, there is such an official position, he has never seen one in his life.

At this time, Su Yan helped He Chou get out of the car, and said with a smile: "He Gong is late, the manager has asked a few times, and then He Gong can eat a few more cups, otherwise even if the manager agrees, we juniors will not agree." ”

He Chou's eyes narrowed with a smile, and after a little look around, he shook off Su Yan's support, and said in a rather loud voice: "Not too late, not too late, if it weren't for the arrival of the sages, how could you see such a prosperous image?" ”

Su Yan smiled and responded, but said in his heart, if the queen didn't look for you to enter the palace, how could you be late?

Over there, Wei Chixin poked Buqun's waist and eyes, and said with a smile: "This is always old, but it's amazing, if you can coax him to be happy, use a little means to make something out, it can open your eyes." ”

Bu Qun glared at Wei Chi Xin, and said in his heart, Lao Tzu doesn't know you yet, and he wants Lao Tzu to make a fool of himself in public, damn it, the surname Wei Chi doesn't have a good thing.

It was true that he thought so in his heart, but his legs, feet and mouth just didn't listen to the call, so he led a few generals down the steps first, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Old man...... He Gong, I haven't seen you for a long time, but are you okay? ”
