"Back to the king, Captain Lili mentioned in the letter that this matter was done by Gao Yunce and Liang Qingyun under his command.

At the same time, the letter said that Gao and Liang led the people in the six counties of Hexi and Hanhai to reclaim 180,000 mu of farmland in half a year, and the winter wheat planted last autumn had already sprouted, and with the harvest of corn, cereals and potatoes planted this spring, it was estimated that the people and soldiers and horses in the counties under Captain Lili would be self-sufficient. ”

As soon as Jie Yuan said that, he heard an uproar suddenly rise in the Xuanwu Palace.

Everyone originally only thought that Zhu Lihua was good at military affairs, but they didn't know that he was also quite good at civil affairs, and it was unbelievable that he could cultivate more than 100,000 acres of fertile land in the gap between the Rong people and the rebels.

Even the monarch was skeptical when he heard it, so he subconsciously turned his head to look at Deng Ziwen, but saw that the helmsman of the black ice platform nodded slightly at Qin Gong, and he even said "good".

Everyone could see clearly that Duke Qin was overjoyed at this time.

Gu Daoyuan and Zhang Ziyu knew the relationship between Zhu Lihua and Zhao Zhihai, so every time they were in the court, they tried their best to help Zhu Lihua establish his reputation.

At this time, when the two saw that Qin Gong was so happy, they looked at each other and congratulated Qin Gong in unison.

And Fang Xie, as the current head of the Fang family after Fang Yuanheng's death, relied on the credit of having brought Zhu Lihua in the Yuanzhou General Mansion, as if he was speaking for his own people, and also stood up to congratulate Qin Gong.

Only Jie Yuan watched all this with a smile and was silent.

"Master Sima, how many troops does Lihua have now?"

Although Duke Qin was also happy to see several people congratulating him, and he was also happy to see another good general appear in Great Qin after Fang Yuanheng's death, but at this moment, he was obviously more concerned about military matters, so he asked Jie Yuan.

"Returning to the king, Captain Lili has been training for two months to recruit 5,000 captured rebels, and with the soldiers recruited from the people last year, there are now about 30,000 people in total."

Jieyuan 1510 told him all about what Lihua told him.

"Oh, so many?"

Yong Daocheng was also shocked to hear that Lihua had grown from 3,000 horses to 30,000 horses in half a year.

Although it is not unprecedented, commanding 30,000 troops as a lieutenant, but after all, this matter has not been ordered by the general or himself, which still makes Qin Gong feel a little jealous in his heart.

When someone in the hall saw that the king was groaning, he immediately jumped out and said:

"Your Majesty, Weichen impeached the school captain Lihua for privately recruiting troops with the intention of plotting against him, and the ambition of this son of a wolf is clearly revealed, and I hope that the king will cure his crime of privately expanding troops and horses."

As soon as these words came out, not only did most of the ministers in the palace frown, but even Yong Daocheng was taken aback.

Finally, Daqin has another capable leader, how can these people push him out.

What's more, although there are a large number of soldiers in Lihua, it is these soldiers and horses that have recovered the land of the Seven Cities of Great Qin, if Great Qin has a few more people who can privately expand soldiers and horses to recover the lost land, Yong Daocheng can be woken up by laughter when he thinks about his dreams.

Qin Gong looked at the person who impeached Li Hua coldly, and knew that he was Yongluan's pawn in the court, so he said angrily:

"The widow is not confused, you don't need to remind him, if General Hexi can also expand the army by 30,000 within half a year and recover Xuchang, the widow will not only punish him, but also reward him heavily."

After saying that, Gong Qin glared fiercely at the person who sat down and stopped talking.

The minister of the full hall immediately burst into laughter.

At the beginning, the Hexi generals Yongyunqi and Wen Zhaoyuan led 20,000 troops to the north to recover the rebellious counties, who knew that only the two counties were recovered, and the soldiers were lost, so that the rebellious people were pressed in a hundred miles, and the autumn shot was beaten for more than half a year, if it wasn't for the Yongluan who withdrew from Xieyu Kanto a month ago, he sent 20,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to personally lead the rescue of the Hexi general, maybe the content of the current court discussion is to discuss the matter of moving the capital.

So in the hearts of the ministers of the full hall, Yongyunqi and Wen Zhaoyuan have become jokes in the eyes of everyone, but Yongyunqi is the eldest son of Yongluan and the cousin of the monarch, no one dares to be sarcastic in person, but when the monarch himself ridicules him, everyone no longer cares about laughing.

Only Deng Ziwen showed a little embarrassment on his face, and slowly shook his head silently.

At the beginning, he assisted Yongyun to pray for Xuchang City, and the situation was already very good, but after the monarch summoned him back to Xijing, he listened to Yongyun pray in Xuchang Fish and Meat Township, conniving at the soldiers to loot the people, which caused the anger of the heavens and people.

Just as he was about to go north again to supervise military discipline, he got the news that Xu Chang was lost, so when he heard the monarch mention Yongyunqi today, he had a feeling of hating iron but not steel.

Just as there was laughter in the hall, I saw Jieyuan get up again and said:

"Your Excellency, Captain Yuli is preparing to march west to Jilin County next month, so I send a letter requesting your lord to allow the Yuanyou defenders to distribute weapons and equipment to him, and ask him to decide."

As soon as these words came out, it was as if everyone in the hall had disappeared, and there was no sound at all, and everyone looked at Jie Yuan in a daze as if they had heard it wrong.

"What do you say? What is Captain Lili going to do? Hit Xu Chang? ”

After a long time, the monarch Yongdao Cheng asked this.

He thought about it again and again, but he still felt that it must be because Jie Yuan's old eyes were dizzy and misunderstood the content of the letter, and he mistook Xu Chang for Ji Lin, so he opened his mouth to remind.

"Your Majesty, it's Ji Lin, Ji Lin County, Shuofang County.

There were about 10,000 Rong soldiers and were guarded by the rebel general Zhang Ren. ”

"Wow!"

As soon as I saw that Jie Yuanheng said it, there was a chaotic and noisy discussion in the hall, in addition to the excitement of the Qin army wanting to take the initiative to regain the lost territory from the Rong people for the first time since Fang Yuanheng died in battle, and some of them felt that Zhu Lihua felt a little regretful that he didn't know the sky.

Yong Daocheng had already stood up, and he pointed at Jie Yuan with a trembling finger and said:

"That's what Captain Captain said really? He wants to recover Ji Lin? ”

"Your Excellency, exactly."

"Okay, good, the little plague marquis is really beyond the reach of capable people, in the future, Daqin will restore the rivers and mountains, and it is not impossible for the widow to really make him a marquis, hahahaha."

"Your Excellency is cautious."

"Your Excellency is cautious."

Everyone in the hall saw that Duke Qin was already out of shape with joy, so they all started to persuade him.

The matter of the marquis is the right of Zhou Tianzi, although the countries do not take the Son of Heaven in their eyes, but after all, it is better to do it on the surface, otherwise it will not be good if it is said by other countries.

"Ah, it's the widow who trespassed." Yong Daocheng, who was a little out of shape with joy, also realized this, so he said with a smile full of disapproval.

"That's it, the widow remembers that it took more than half a year to seal the four of his men as two or five hundred lords, and now the captain of the city is going to go west, but he doesn't even have a military marquis, so the widow will mention that four of his thousand people are military marquis, and a few five hundred lords are a thousand people.

Jie, let Yuan You give them weapons, as much as they want. Hahahaha"

Obviously, Yong Daocheng's heart was immersed in ecstasy at this moment.

He was afraid that someone would get up again and ruin his interest, so he left the table and walked out of the Xuanwu Hall while laughing.

The ministers in the palace were still unable to extricate themselves from the astonishing news brought by Lihua, so when the monarch had been gone for a long time, someone got up and left the Xuanwu Palace.

"It seems that it is now the world of young people, and we are old."

Deng Ziwen, who walked in front of Jieyuan, said to Jieyuan with a smile.

......

In order to capture Ji Lin, Zhu Lihua did make some preparations, and for this matter, he thought about it for half a year.

Especially after the seizure of the four counties in Hexi, having a stable living environment is extremely important to the people of Lulihua and the counties under their protection.

He already knew the news that Yongluan led his troops north, so he didn't have to worry about what happened to Xu Chang.

An Moran, who had just been promoted to military marquis, and Li Ji and Tang Yuan, who had just been promoted to military marquis, and Li Ji and Tang Yuan, a thousand people, were vigilant in Quwo and Baishui counties to pay attention to the movements of the Xuchang rebels, leaving 10,000 people to guard the two cities, and then transferred all the soldiers and horses from other places to Hanhai City.

On this expedition to Jilin, there were 15,000 soldiers in Lihua, except for the 10,000 veterans who were mainly from the original team of the Mu Qi Army, the others were the 5,000 recruits who had been trained for three months.

In the past six months or so, the cavalry and scout team led by the new two or five hundred main Wei Mu have already checked Ji Lin City and its surrounding terrain, according to Wei Mu's words, which tree in the poplar forest on the edge of Ji Lin City has rabbits.

Moreover, Yu Lihua naturally understood that fighting with the original Great Qin army in Ji Lin City was not easier than those who rebelled against the people.

Sure enough, when everything was arranged and Lu Lihua's army was about to arrive at Ji Lin City, he saw that Ji Lin's defenders had already finished the battle under the city.

Seeing that the 8,000 men and horses sent by Ji Lin were lined up in a goose-shaped formation, Zhu Lihua knew that Ji Lin's Rong army did not take his own side of the men and horses in his eyes.

Although they have a large number of men and horses, those Rong troops do not seem to have any scruples, and they seem to have plans to eat themselves in a battle.

Lu Lihua immediately ordered the whole army to form a phalanx, and after forming a formation, they would advance in the direction of Ji Lin.

The phalanx is the most basic array in the Great Qin army array, known as the Rong array in the array, and it was originally a large phalanx composed of countless small phalanxes.

Therefore, for the recruits in the Lihua army, it will be more familiar.

However, the phalanx discharged by Zhu Lihua is slightly different, he arranges the phalanx into a "thin, medium and thick square", with few troops in the center and more troops around.

In this way, you can not only bluff but also better defend against enemy attacks.

Zhu Lihua placed the command of the golden drum banner at the rear of the phalanx, and saw that the military array had just been lined up, so Zhu Lihua ordered the drum to be beaten, and the whole army headed towards Ji Lin City to kill the general.

Jilin City is a small city on the edge of the Hanhai Desert in the northern part of Great Qin, which is connected to the desert in the north and the yellow water in the south, and the suburbs of the city are surrounded by poplar forests and meadows.

Therefore, the army of Lihua and the army of Ji Linrong did not need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of the terrain and whether there was an ambush at all, and the war drums of the two sides were killed.

On the battlefield of the battle, the infantry of the two armies were wearing the black uniforms of Daqin, and the cavalry of the two armies were wearing Xuanjia, if it were not for the Chiyang banner held by Ji Linrong's army, and a linen cloth was tied to the arm on the military uniform, and the two armies could not distinguish who was the Qin army and who was the Rong army under the mutual charge.
