When Wu Zhen began to investigate Wu Ban, Tian Xin had already crossed Baqiu by boat and went to Hanshui along the Xiashui River.

The Xiashui River is crisscrossed from north to south, and is crisscrossed with Huarong Road.

When it rains heavily in August and September, the summer water will also surge when floods irrigate, and there is a possibility that Huarong Road will be flooded and turned into a swamp.

On July 20, at the wooden bridge on Huarong Road, Huang Quan arrived here at a gallop.

After all, he was a step late, and when he came, the last group of soldiers from Beifu was passing by, and Zhou Zhuo, the leading major general of the left guard, was resting by the bridge.

Huang Quan dismounted, looked at the north and lost his mind for a moment, before turning his head to look at Zhou Zhuo: "General Ziyue, the Beifu has changed, the Jiangdu is full of rumors, and the Beifu has not given the court an explanation so far, why is this?" ”

"What the prince asks, the general will not know."

Zhou Zhuo pursed his lips, blinked his eyes as if he was thinking and hesitating, and added: "The Lingnan heat kills people, and we have no other good way." ”

Huang Quan looked at Zhou Zhuo, and Zhou Zhuo did not feel guilty or ashamed.

Huang Quan turned his head to look at the north first, and asked in a different tone: "So far, General Ziyue has no other words?" The general was very angry, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were indignant and angry that the North Mansion was cheating. I heard that Lu Boyan and Prime Minister Zhuge agreed to take Guanzhong together, and now the Prime Minister has just arrived in Yizhou, why did Beifu take the lead in sending troops? ”

"What the prince said was a little different from what the last general heard."

Zhou Zhuo's tone was always flat: "According to what the last general heard, it was Lu Changshi and the prime minister who agreed to fight for Guanzhong, but did not agree on a time. Our Beifu soldiers are strong and strong, and the grain and straw are sufficient, so I first level the south of the Lingnan, and then return to the customs, and there is also spare strength. Yizhou, the country of abundance, has a lot of soldiers and a wide range of food, and now it can also send troops to the Northern Expedition. ”

Having served as a lecturer in the School of Truth for a period of time, Zhou Zhuo naturally has his own opinions: "My Beifu sent troops first, the war is the most difficult, the chance of victory is the smallest, and the victory will restore Guanzhong, and defeat can also consume Wei thieves, which is conducive to the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition." I don't know what the court is afraid of, or why the prince is angry. ”

Seeing Huang Quan's anger, Zhou Zhuo added: "Yizhou will not send troops this year, and it is intended to recuperate." We waited for the public to send troops, just to get a brocade and return home. If not, you will die. ”

Huang Quan turned around lonely, walked towards his horse, walked a few steps and stopped, and looked back at Zhou Zhuo: "Returning to his hometown in brocade?" ”

"Yes, the brocade clothes are home."

Zhou Zhuo's lips trembled slightly, and his voice trembled: "If you don't go back, Guanzhong will be easy to plant." ”

The composition of the army under Wu Zhi...... It is very dangerous, the Southern Xiongnu Yicong, slave knights, and some Tuoba Xianbei tribes that were incorporated after the Battle of Hexi.

In addition, the Qiang people and Di people who moved to Guanzhong earlier, Wu Zhen's way of absorbing these nomadic tribes was very direct, and now the main force of the Wei army in Guanzhong is servants, righteous servants, mercenaries, and slave soldiers.

Since Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao, Guanzhong's generation has lived in turmoil, and the battle of Hanzhong and Xiangfan has almost pushed the young and strong people who can be recruited in Guanzhong to the battlefield.

Young and strong are killed in battle and captured, what should they do with their wives and children?

Before Wu Zhen entered Guanzhong, he could barely survive; But now, Wu Zhen's army is very short of women, and it needs to be reorganized and build a new family in order to stabilize the morale of the army for a long time.

This naturally has a great contradiction with the people of Guanzhong, and Guanzhong Haoqiang does not want to watch the lonely and widowed female households in the neighborhood being requisitioned and reassigned to the single volunteer sergeant under Wu Zhen...... It's like a military merit award.

This is a matter that the entire Guanzhong group is opposed, and the government and county officials are prevaricating, and Wu Zhen wants to recruit tens of thousands of female households to solve the increasingly serious problem of singleness in the army, which is related to the cohesion of the army and the normalization of order...... But the people in the Guanzhong do not cooperate.

So much so that Wu Zhen reacted to this matter, and Cao Pi asked Shang Shufu to shoot Du Ji and talk about the widow in Hedong.

It is not surprising that Du Yi served as the warden of Hedong for many years, and during his tenure, an average of more than 100 widows and single sergeants reorganized their families every year.

Since Zhao Yan replaced Du Yi as the county guard of Hedong, he helped more than 10,000 widows and single sergeants to reorganize their families in the first year; Comparing the two, it seems that Du Yi worked very perfunctory during his tenure and did not do his best.

Reorganizing families and restoring normal childbearing is an important national policy to strengthen national strength.

Cao Pi naturally questioned Du Ji with confidence, and Du Ji's answer was very simple: he was a real widow.

In other words, how did Zhao Yan's 'widow' who deployed and reorganized the family in recent years come from?

In the deployment of Hedong, the widow remarried, and the marriage was also to a local with similar customs and accents.

Can be closed if the marriage restructuring is carried out...... This will completely detonate the anger of the people in Guanzhong and Beifu.

As long as Cao Pi remained in Luoyang, Wu Zhen in Guanzhong did not dare to take radical measures.

But without these measures, it would be impossible for the Zahu coalition under his command to be 'naturalized' and normalized.

It was Cao Pi who chose to move the capital at a critical juncture when the Han army was unable to launch a decisive battle, and Lu Yi had a keen sense of smell and decisively carried out a general mobilization for war...... It's as simple as that.

You can't sit back and watch Wu Zhi's blood wash in Guanzhong, and you can't watch Wu Zhi's army redistribute the school-age women in Guanzhong.

Beifu has no choice, and he also wants to take the initiative to fight a battle to go home; Lu Yi didn't have a choice, no one could afford such a big responsibility.

Zhou Zhuo could barely control his emotions and not lose his temper in front of Huang Quan.

What happened in Guanzhong, what could happen soon, only the senior military officials of Beifu could analyze the information and make calculations; The middle and low-level officials did not know about it at all.

If he had known about it, he couldn't restrain himself, and the crowd was angry, he would have exploded a long time ago.

Things haven't gone for the worst yet...... But the imperial court, will it care about the things in Guanzhong?

For the imperial court, it doesn't matter whether there is a Guanzhong or not now; The important thing is that Beifu can't be allowed to get Guanzhong.

It was Chen Gongxin who married the daughter of the Song Duke and the adopted daughter of the first emperor, and the officials from Guanzhong in Beifu did not marry the daughter of the imperial family, but the wives, children, sisters, and parents of the Guanzhong officials were all in Guanzhong!

Sensing that Zhou Zhuo's emotional state was unstable, Huang Quan left from the bridge and sat under the pavilion pergola in a daze.

The Beifu military officials are military officials who can think, and the more good they are at thinking and learning, the easier it is to get Tian Xin's respect and stand out.

With the last round of restructuring in Beifu, in addition to the battalion level, there is no longer a regular army and a supervising army at the higher level, the rate, guard, and army!

In other words, every major general in Beifu is in charge of five to seven battalions of troops alone!

This group of people has no court in their eyes.

What is the imperial court, is the overall situation!

What do these people want to do? I want to be the big picture!

Guanzhong's Wu Quality Corps...... Perhaps in the planning of the middle and senior military officials of Beifu, it is a team of soldiers who have been trained hard and trained for them!

The situation has gotten out of control, and the Wei army has always held the key point of the core military officials of Beifu.

When the first emperor was there, he did not dare to stimulate Beifu; Now Wu Zhen suddenly broke up, and he wanted to fight an asymmetrical decisive battle with Beifu.

Regardless of victory or defeat, or a draw, the biggest loser will only be the Jiangdu Imperial Court.

Huang Quan was not disheartened, but he had a sense of powerlessness.

Looking up at the sky, it was as if the sky was about to fall, crushing itself into crumbling powder.

There is a feeling of the battle of Gangneung back then.

It's not desperate, after all, Beifu is a Beifu controlled by Tian Xin, and no matter how bad it is, there is a bottom line.

There is just a sense of regret that the beloved jade was smashed by a sword, and the regret is inexplicable and difficult to state.

A Beifu military official suddenly commanded the boat to dock, and he landed ashore, covered with a one-shoulder robe covered with patent leather armor, and a lieutenant colonel armband with two silver stars hanging on his exposed right shoulder armor.

The crimson robe covering his left arm and left chest and abdomen hung a gold coin of the 'Northern Expedition', which was a gold coin of the eagle emblem.

He moved to the edge of the pavilion and whispered, "Fellow townsman? ”

Huang Quan's face was ashen, he heard the sound and looked at it, he reacted slowly, and only recognized it half-loud: "Wen Yi? ”

It was Liu Gan, and he hurriedly saluted: "That's right, why is Mr. here?" ”
