Chapter 622: One Year (6)
When Zhao He's assassination broke out, Zhao Tong suddenly turned his face and began to blame Zheng Chun, who stayed in Wuzhou, and many small things were intentionally infinitely magnified.
Because of the affairs in Wuzhou, Li Xun accelerated the layout of the Western Regions.
With Wang Dezhao as the general and Chen De as the deputy general, he led 10,000 troops to garrison the western border of the Western Regions, Shan Qiu was the main general, Chen Tu was the deputy general, and 10,000 troops were stationed at the core of the Western Regions... Suyecheng, Hou Quan, Li Zhaodi, Li Cunxiao, Wang Jiming and other young generals, in this war, made a lot of meritorious contributions, Li Xun did not treat them badly, they were all entrusted with important tasks, led the army alone, and defended one side.
Hou Quan with 5,000 soldiers, continue to garrison the Zhou State, Li Zhaodi with 3,000 soldiers to guard Zhenshi City, Li Cunxiao as the main general, Wang Jiming as the deputy general, leading 5,000 troops, sitting in the Xizhou land.
As for the management power of the Western Regions, Li Xun thought about it, and finally decided to hand it over to Fan Zhongyun to take care of, not that he didn't trust Fan Zhongyun, but Li Xun had his concerns, although Fan Zhongyun was very capable, but he was not liked by Zhao Zhi, the previous victory in the battle of Longyou, Li Xun wrote several times to seek merit, but it was only for Fan Zhongyun to ask for a dismissive position of the seventh grade, as the so-called, if the name is not right, it is not good, Fan Zhongyun does not really have a weighty official position, and he has given him full authority to take care of such a large piece of the Western Regions, I am afraid that someone will be dissatisfied, so, Li Xun's generals who stayed in the Western Regions, except for Shan Qiu and Wang Dezhao, the rest were mainly young generals, and Li Changchun, Yuan He, Zhao Wei, Yu Yanhui and other older generals all followed Li Xun back to Wuzhou.
After the affairs of all parties in the Western Regions were explained, Li Xun immediately led more than 15,000 people and began the journey back to Wuzhou.
In this battle of the Western Regions, Li Xun's harvest was unprecedented, not only taking the entire territory of the Western Regions at a small price, but also seizing a huge amount of money and grain.
The first batch of booty, eight million taels of silver, three million deniers of grain, has been led by Zhou Pingyun and Lei Wanhai, more than 1,000 people, escorted to Fengjing, this time Li Xun returned to Wuzhou, with the army's loot materials, is several times as much as before, with these money and grain, Wuzhou rebuilding materials needed to rebuild, it is considered to have no worries.
Fan Zhongyun said goodbye to Li Xun and sent it to Zhenshi City, and the two officially separated.
"Lao Fan, the Western Regions will be handed over to you, if there is any emergency, you can just do it yourself, you don't need to send someone to ask for instructions, and I have already strictly ordered Shan Qiu and others, military generals and garrisons from all over the country, only responsible for guarding, not meddled in local government affairs, if anyone dares to violate, you can cut it first, if something happens, I will help you tease."
Li Xun took Fan Zhongyun's hand and made a final admonition.
The situation in the Western Regions has just stabilized, the run-in between the people of the Western Regions and the Han people, for the new ruler of the Jin Dynasty, this suitable process takes time, during this period, stability is greater than everything, the magnates of the Western Regions care about their own interests, and the ordinary people care about food and clothing, these things, Li Xun can give them, I believe that with the passage of time, everything will slowly progress in a good direction.
Fan Zhongyun said in a deep voice: "The stability of the Western Regions lies in Longyou, as long as there is no major incident in Longyou, there will be no accidents in the Western Regions." ”
Li Xun nodded, did not speak, how could Fan Zhongyun not understand what he meant, he was reminding himself that he must carefully handle Zhao Tong and others, and must not let them mess up the situation in Longyou, the situation is chaotic, it is beneficial to Zhao Tong, therefore, Li Xun must maintain the stability of the political situation in Longyou, and must not give Zhao Tong and others the opportunity to meddle in Longyou.
The two talked a few words for the last time, and the parting was imminent, Li Xun wanted to give Fan Zhongyun a final hug, but was refused, and in a series of laughs, Li Xun led the army to leave.
Fan Zhongyun looked at the back of Li Xun leaving, stood there quietly, and Chen He on the side said in a low voice: "Mr. Fan, let's go back earlier, the marshal is ready to reduce the taxes of the people of the Western Regions for three years, and the order has been pressed in the Zhongjun Mansion for several days, and now that the marshal has left, we should convey this order earlier, so that the people of the Western Regions can know that our Jin Dynasty is good." ”
After Li Xun occupied the entire territory of the Western Regions, the civil and military were separated, and the Western Regions Political Affairs Hall managed the daily government affairs, and the nearly 40,000 troops left behind were established to establish the Central Military Government, and Fan Zhongyun served as the chief of the Central Military Government, acting on behalf of Li Xun to exercise the power to command the army.
Fan Zhongyun shook his head and said, "This order is still taken to the Western Regions Political Affairs Hall for resolution. "Fun little book
Chen He thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine, just try the attitude of those people in the Western Regions." ”
The first year of Tianhe, May 11.
Li Xun left Longyou for nearly half a year, finally came back, this trip to the Western Regions, the challenge is huge, the danger is also huge, it can be regarded as a big gamble, but in any case, Li Xun finally achieved a huge victory and results, which for him personally and the entire Longyou, are played a major role and repercussions, and even to the Jin Dynasty, it also played an immeasurable help, to get Li Xun's huge amount of material transportation, the Jin Dynasty's predicament, at least in a short period of time, has been contained and alleviated.
On the side of the Mulang River, Li Xun and his entourage of more than 1,000 people, who had been in the dust for a few days, had already rushed here, crossed the river, and worked hard for half a day, and then they were able to return to Wu'an City.
The guards stationed at Liangshuikou learned of Li Xun's arrival, hurriedly came over to pay respects, and then began to gather the boats crossing the river.
"Dashuai, someone asks to see him, it's General Lei Wanhai's person."
Chen De came to report.
Li Xun nodded, and a soldier was brought over, took out a letter and handed it to Li Xun.
Lei Wanhai said in the letter that after entering Guanzhong, the crown prince Zhao Xun sent someone to slow down the march and enter Fengjing for a few days.
The soldier arched his hand and said: "The two places are far apart, and General Lei can't ask the marshal in time, so he has to make his own decision, and if there is something wrong, he also asks the marshal to forgive him." ”
Li Xun ordered Lei Wanhai to escort the money and grain to Fengjing as soon as possible, and now because the prince changed his plan, it can be regarded as disobeying Li Xun's order, but he did not dare to disobey the prince's order easily, and he was a little in a dilemma.
"It's not a big deal, Lei Wanhai can make his own decisions."
Li Xun waved his hand and said indifferently, this is not a major matter that violates principles, Lei Wanhai can make his own decision, Li Xun will not have any thoughts in his heart.
The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and left.
The boat soon arrived at the river, and Li Xun dismounted, got on the boat, and headed for the opposite bank.
Just when Li Xun arrived at the door of his home, Wu'an City and the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion at this time were also staging a good show.
Zhao Tong, the king of Qu, sat on the main seat, foaming at the mouth, slapping the table from time to time, scolding urgently, below, Zheng Chun's face was red, his fists were clenched, and he bowed his head and was silent, while Zhou Qing and other local officials were some people gloating, and some people were gloating.
