In the first month of the thirtieth year of Qin Shi Huang (the tenth month of the lunar calendar), Heifu had returned to Yiqu City, Beidi County, in order to play a good bureaucrat of Great Qin and a good county lieutenant of the soldiers, he put public affairs before private affairs, and insisted on placing the soldiers and soldiers before returning home.

During this period, Shi Chenping, the county governor, came to report to Heifu on the public security situation in Northland County in the past few months.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "When the county lieutenant is not there, there are only some petty thieves and daily thieves in the northland, and there are no major fights. Everyone said that the root cause of the harm in Beidi County was that the local Rong people were restless, and it was difficult to stop fighting with each other, and even caused the Huarong dispute. But this year is different, the young and strong Rong people have been recruited to be knights, and the remaining old and weak will keep to themselves, and the five divisions of Dayuan Rong heard that they can move to the Fengmei Grassland of Helan Mountain next year, and they will no longer fight for that little water source pasture. ”

Heifu shook his head: "I kind of understand, what does Shang Jun mean by 'poison is lost to the outside'!" ”

Shang Ying believes that every country has "poison", and these poisons can be understood as unstable elements in society, such as the Rong people in Beidi County, such as the rangers in the Kanto region. If they are left alone, they will pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and private fighting will become commonplace.

It is difficult to eliminate these internal unstable populations, but there is a simple way, that is, to fight foreign wars, let the Rong people as the vanguard of sweeping Hu, and let the rangers act as people's husbands to transport food for thousands of miles, so that they can harm foreign enemies and poison foreign enemies......

The country is strong without fighting, the poison is lost internally, and the lile lice will be cut down, which is one of the reasons why the Legalist Empire continues to wage wars against foreign countries.

The next thing to watch out for is that the soldiers and people recruited from the interior are stationed in Yiqu City, Xiaoguan and other places, and there will be people who will be idle and disturb the peasant households.

Hearing that Heifu planned to launch a surprise attack to wipe out the remnants of the Huns, Chen Ping began to come up with ideas.

"Since the county lieutenant wants to attack Juyanze at the beginning of spring, the subordinates think that the time when the prince of the Yue clan will come to the dynasty should be set around the month of Layue, and it must be before our army chariot rides out, the son of the king of the Yue clan has entered the Qin realm!"

Heifu looked at Chen Ping, he just had a lot of ideas, and at the same time liked to think about things in the worst way: "Are you worried that the Yue's defection to Daqin is fake, and when the time comes, I will ride west, and the Yue's will have abnormal movements?" Want to hold its prince hostage? ”

Chen Ping said: "The Hu people have no faith, today they will make peace, and tomorrow there will be no rebellion, and they must be guarded against." ”

Heifu groaned: "What if the Ruoyue clan sends a fake prince? ”

Chen Ping said with a smile: "The merchant sent by the Wu clan to Hexi has seen the king of the Yue clan and his eldest son in Zhaowu City, as long as the eldest son is named and let the eldest son enter the court." If the Yue clan is false, it means that the tributary heart of the envoy is not sincere, and in the battle of Juyanze, it must be cautious and ......"

He immediately made another suggestion: "In addition, the envoys and princes of the Yue clan should not go to Helan and the north to enter Qin, but should go to Longxi." ”

"Why?"

Chen Ping explained his reasons: "In the previous crusade against the Xiongnu, 15,000 troops were sent to the north and 20,000 troops to Longxi, but now most of them have been withdrawn. Longxi only left 3,000 soldiers to build a roll city south of Qingshan Gorge, and only 5,000 soldiers were left in the north, and 2,000 soldiers were stationed in Helan and other places. ”

"If the Yue's people pass through Helan and see that I don't have many troops outside the city, I am afraid of different intentions, so it is better to make them enter from Jincheng, all the way through Longxi and Yongdi, the people are rich, the garrison is strict, and the roads in the city are complete, so that the Yueshi can know the strength of Qin, and dare not dare to head the rat at both ends."

"Or are you thoughtful."

Heifu praised Chen Ping, and handed over the matter to him and the head of the county mansion, Cheng Wu Shiyan, who was in charge of the vassal states and foreign affairs of Beidi County, to explain the reason to Qin Shi Huang first, and then contact Longxi County.

After fighting a battle together, the relationship between the officers and men of the two armies in Beidi and Longxi is very good, and it has reached the level of "brother troops", and the two sides have cooperated many times and can trust each other.

After that, there is the most worrying problem of supply outside the plug......

The most important reason why Heifu only left 5,000 soldiers and 2,000 people in Helan was that if he left more manpower, I am afraid that some people would die of cold and starvation!

Through the transportation of Mengyi's big river, the food problem was basically solved, but the temperature in the Helan grassland was a few points colder than that in Yiqu City, and it was only in the tenth month of the summer calendar that the night temperature had dropped to below zero!

After the Xiongnu were driven to the north, during the three months that Heifu stayed in Helan Mountain, in addition to letting people try to plant wheat, the most important thing was to build a city and build a shelter for the people left behind......

Three small cities rose from the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain, from north to south, and were named Hunhuai, Lingwu and Fuping respectively. Among them, Hun Huai is the opposite bank of the place where the Qin army and the Xiongnu fought a decisive battle, Lingwu is the former Xiongnu pasture, and Fuping is the place where Heifu and Li Xin first met.

The three cities only had time to build the inner city, and there was no outer city, and the houses inside were only crowded with less than 7,000 people. In the lunar season, the snow is all over the mountains, and the weather is more than ten degrees below zero, which is not a garrison, but a forced person to flee back to the mainland.

Thinking of this, Heifu asked again: "How many woolen sweaters did Beidi buy last year?" ”

Chen Ping said: "Wu Shi Lu from the Huangzhong Qiang people to buy a lot of Qiang sheep, so that the Rong people domesticated, under the initiative of the wife, Xia women also began to learn the art of wool spinning, all counties have opened weaving mills. In a year, a total of 3,000 pieces were made, and Longxi County gave another 500 pieces to the north. According to the general's orders, they were sent to Helan first. ”

There are 7,000 garrisons, but there are only 3,500 sweaters, only one for two people, who goes out to stand guard and who wears it, this is also "no clothes, with the son", during the hard work, only the low-level soldiers and people can know.

Heifu's wife, Ye Shi, led by example, taking the wives and daughters of officials to sit in front of her house every day to weave wool, and let the people follow suit, so that the output of woolen clothes in the north tripled, far exceeding the requirements of Qin Shi Huang.

But it is still not enough, if you want to increase the garrison next year and take full control of the newly conquered lands, you must first increase the production of woolen clothes......

"Now that we have drummed up a water-powered vertebrae and a water-powered mill, I don't know if we can make a water-to-water spinning wheel."

Heifu just came up with this idea, but quickly dispelled it, and now the production of sweaters cannot go up, the main reason is not the slow spinning rate, but the lack of wool!

It's easy to concentrate manpower, but it's difficult to speed up the fertility of sheep.

When the work was finally done, Heifu hurried home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his son crawling all over the mat.

The kid named "Broken" by Heifu is half a year old, and Heifu went out to fight soon after he was born, and he didn't recognize him at all when he came home, and he was uncomfortable being held in Heifu's arms, and he kept crying, Heifu couldn't be obedient no matter how he coaxed, seeing his helpless appearance, Ye Zijin was angry and funny:

"Love, if you untie your armor first, you will make your diaphragm hurt."

"Forgot, forgot."

Heifu hurriedly handed over his son to his wife, changed his armor, put on a new regular dress made by Ye Zijin for him, and happily wanted to hold the child.

This time, the little breaker was obedient, lying in Heifu's arms as if he was going to sleep, holding his fingers and humming with his small mouth.

It's just that before Heifu had time to rejoice, he felt a sudden hot warmth appear on his chest......

Wei Po was captured, and poured hot boy urine on his father's new clothes.

……

The time to enjoy family fun at home is always short, it is not long after returning to Beidi County, after dealing with the backlog of government affairs, Heifu will go out again, the Qin army defeated the Xiongnu, Qin Shi Huang summoned Li Xin, Heifu, and Meng Tian, three generals with greater meritorious service, to Xianyang, to celebrate their achievements, and at the same time discuss the next garrison in northern Xinjiang, as well as the next military action......

Gongzi Fusu has also completed the mission of supervising the army, and he wants to return to Xianyang with Heifu to resume his life.

Ye Zijin tidied up Heifu's clothes and was about to send him out, when he said that the daughter of the official of Beidi County heard about Fu Suzhi, they were all watching on the side of the road, hoping to be photographed by the handsome son and fly up the branch at one time. But Gongzi Fusu went in and out of the residence, but he sat in the car, never looking at them, and the sachets and other things that the girls had the courage to send were all returned.

"I always feel that this son is very arrogant." She said casually.

Heifu laughed: "Childe is not arrogant, he is polite. ”

Ye Zijin glanced at him and said with some concern: "The beloved seems to know the eldest son very well. ”

She was afraid that her husband would have a good impression of Fusu and get involved in the deep pool.

Heifu comforted his wife and said, "Don't worry, I am just fulfilling His Majesty's instructions, and I will not mix muddy waters casually." Before the expedition, didn't you say that I had only met the eldest son a few times, and my friendship was shallow, and my words were not deep, so I couldn't be sure what kind of person he was? But in the past six months, I have been in the army, observing his words and deeds, and I can understand who he is and ......" (see Chapter 434)

"Oh? The concubine wants to hear about the ability of a lover to recognize people. ”

Heifu pondered for a moment and said: "He is the kind of Spring and Autumn gentleman described in "Zuo Biography", gentle, kind, courteous, thrifty, and letting, with all five virtues, and loyal and benevolent. ”

All this is not a deliberate attempt to buy people's hearts, it is indeed a real temperament, no wonder the two of Rumo, who are in the same situation, appreciate him very much. This humble corporal attitude earned Fusu a high reputation among the soldiers and civilians. It is no wonder that in history, after his death, people all over the world felt sorry, and even Chu people Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had to act in the name of Fusu......

"Isn't he, then, perfect? The lover's evaluation of the son is really getting higher and higher. Ye Zijin was a little unconvinced.

But Heifu didn't say the second half of the sentence to his wife.

"The more flawless the jade, the easier it is to break!"

If you want to find a person who is most similar to Fusu in history, Heifu searched and searched, and only thought of Qu Yuan.

Its zhi is clean, so it is called Wufang; His deeds are incorruptible, so death is not tolerated!

Qu Yuan has all five virtues, Qu Yuan is gentle and elegant, Qu Yuan is full of ideals, Qu Yuan is outspoken, and Qu Yuan is not bending......

Qu Yuan's death is unknown!

The same goes for Fusu in history!

……

In mid-October, when heading south, outside Yiqu City, Heifu and Fusu faced each other and got into the car.

In the frost and rain, Fusu still stood upright on the car, like a green pine, with a ringing around his waist.

Hefu looked at him, but he didn't think about it in his heart.

"If Fusu lives in the Spring and Autumn Period, he can be in the limelight at the Hegemony Alliance, reciting poems, and elegantly becoming a role model for the nobility."

"But in this era, from the power struggle in the central government, to the local heroes who are ready to go, and even the kings of Saiwaihu. Everyone is mercenary, all of them are deceitful, and they fight for life and death! ”

"The gentlemen of Lile and poetry have become a thing of the past forever. It's like a jade pendant with high ambitions, in the iron and fire, it is broken into pieces with a clang! ”

Blindly loyal, righteous, benevolent, and soft-hearted, in this era, there is no way to live.

Heifu looked into the distance, touched his beard, and showed a meaningful smile: "This is the era of mercenary and shameless heroes!" ”

"The person who can struggle to the end in this treacherous cloud is either thick and black to the extreme, or so vicious that he kills his father without blinking."

"Or, just like me, open the hanging!"
