After the group arrived in Yuanwei County, the weather became colder and colder, and there were only a few days left before the New Year. Yuanwei County is now garrisoned by a deputy staff general, and Zhou Tong has not been here for a long time, but when he came to this county town that had ~ a bloody battle again, he seemed to have a lot of emotion.

With the complete end of the war with Liangzhou, this place has finally settled down, and with the arrival of officials, some people have slowly gathered here.

Although the scale of today's is only better than that of Sanshui County. However, due to the fact that it is not far from the crossing of the Yellow River and is located on the main road of the Hexi Corridor, it is presumable that the development will be very good in the near future.

"After Anyuanbao and Lingju County recovered, the importance of Yuanwei County gradually decreased. Of course, once the safety here is guaranteed, it will be easier to develop in the future! After Li Xin looked back and forth in the city, he said to Zhou Tong and them.

In the past, Yuanwei County served as the front line between the Huashan Army and Liangzhou, so it was relatively unsafe. But now, Anyuanbao has replaced the status of Yuanwei County, which is equivalent to an additional barrier for Yuanwei County, which is naturally beneficial to its own development.

Today's Xiping and Jincheng two counties, in fact, have been affected by the last war. One is the restoration of Anyuan Fort, which has moved the front line of Jincheng north for hundreds of miles, which is much safer for Jincheng, Haokang, Yunjie and other counties that were originally at the forefront.

In particular, the restoration of Lingju County happened to be built on the main road from the south to the north of the Hexi Corridor, which suddenly took away the status that originally belonged to Haokang and Jincheng County. Not only Haokang County and Jincheng County, but also Xiping County and Yunjie County, which are more western, are actually the same result.

Although Lingju County has only been in recovery for about a year, it is one of the fastest growing counties in the surrounding counties. Except for the fact that it is not as good as the county, the other counties are basically not as good as it.

After all, it is a necessary place for business travelers to go south to Qinzhou and other places, and many people will stop here. Over time, it is natural that the popularity will become higher and higher.

"This area is crisscrossed by mountains, and with the help of the geographical advantage, the defense line has been established quite smoothly. As long as Liangzhou doesn't come to find trouble, basically, it can ensure long-term stability and security in the future! Zhou Tong said on the side.

The defense line here in Yuanwei County came from Anyuanbao and went all the way east along the branch of Qilian Mountain. Then, in the east of the county seat of Yuanwei directly through the ferry, and then connected with the Great Wall.

And the garrison of Yuanwei County is actually guarding the security of the area east of the county until the Great Wall. From this point of view, the entire defensive system is still very tight, and Li Xin is very satisfied after reading it.

If you only consider Liangzhou, then there is almost no need to arrange any soldiers and horses on this side of Yuanwei County. But the problem is that the north of Yuanwei County has always been in the past, and now it is the world of the Hu people, which is also a direction that must be guarded against.

Li Xin stayed in Yuanwei County for a day, and then continued westward, eventually reaching Anyuan Fort, now the most important pass of the Huashan Army on the western border.

Due to the importance of Anyuan Fort, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed here, constantly monitoring the movements of the Gulang Gorge Pass in the north. At the same time, all the merchants who entered the territory of the Huashan Army from the west also entered the customs here, and they had to get the documents first.

The scale of Anyuan Fort is not small, and it is very strong. On the ridge on the east side of the mountain, the former Great Wall is slowly being repaired, and if there are no problems, it should be restored this year.

Because the day after Li Xin arrived at Anyuan Fort was Chinese New Year's Eve, this time he stayed in Anyuan Fort to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers. Everyone was so moved, after all, everyone knew that he had just gotten married.

The high-ranking general did not accompany his wife at home, but came to this bitter cold place to celebrate the New Year with his own old and rough people, it is strange that the soldiers are not excited.

Originally, Li Erhei and the others all persuaded Li Xin to rush back to Chang'an first, but Li Xin refused. After all, if you run back because of this incident, although everyone will not be surprised, you will not be able to get over it in your heart.

"General! This is the latest news that someone has just been sent from below, and it has something to do with things in the north! On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xin had just gotten up, and Tu Qi hurriedly ran in.

"Oh? Liu Yantou: Are they finished? As soon as he heard this, he didn't bother to wash his face, Li Xin hurriedly asked.

"Yes! Just two days ago, not long after we left from Zhujuan County, Liu Weichen led the army to raid Liu Yantou's camp by taking advantage of the wind and snow. After this battle, Liu Yantou's army suffered heavy losses and finally collapsed completely. Many people either fled to other sides or surrendered to Liu Weichen directly. Now, the position of the leader of the Huns has changed hands, and it is Liu Weichen who holds the power! Judging from the news, he is now stepping up his efforts to rein in the tribe and buy the hearts of the people! ”

"Liu Yantou, this can't work? It's a little too fast! However, it doesn't have much impact on us! The only thing that is more troublesome is that Liu Weichen is more difficult to deal with than Liu Yantou! By the way, what about Liu Yantou? Hearing the news, Li Xin couldn't help but think for a while, and then said.

Liu Yantou fled, and I heard that he took some of his cronies and fled directly to the north while the river was freezing. Come to think of it, if nothing else, it should be to go to the acting king Shiyiqian! Tu Qi replied.

Although Liu Yantou in history also failed in the end, it was not now, but at the end of next year. From this point of view, it should be the consequence of the previous battle between him and the Huashan Army, which caused this incident to happen in advance.

"Well, tell the people below to pay close attention to the situation on Liu Weichen's side, and if there is any news, notify me immediately!" Li Xin commanded.

"Yes!"

"What about other places, are you still stable now?" After pondering for a while, Li Xin asked again.

"It's been pretty stable overall. By the way, on the side of Yan Kingdom, Murong Jun lived in Ye Palace, implemented an amnesty, and ordered the restoration of Tongquetai! Tu Qi thought about it for a while, and then replied.

There was a palace in the past when Yecheng passed, but when Ran Wei fell, this place suffered great damage. Therefore, if Murong Jun wants to move in, he has to send someone to repair it in the early stage.

As for Tongquetai, this thing was built by Cao Cao back then, in order to demonstrate his contribution to defeating Yuan Shao and pacifying the four seas. This is not a small building, so in the process of construction, it must cost a lot of artificial and material resources.

"With the current situation of Yan Kingdom, Murong Jun is still thinking about rebuilding Tongque Terrace, is he a little overconfident!" Li Xin was quite disdainful of his approach.

If you want to talk about the Tongque Terrace, when Cao Cao built it, it was not a bad thing. After all, didn't a Jian'an Literature Group be formed in the end! Culturally, this is a good thing.

But today's Murong Jun is just a bearded person, and this approach can only be said to be vassalage and elegant, and it is just a formality. Of course, he may also have expressed his will and effectively imitated Cao Cao.

Or maybe he wanted to use it to attract people from the world to his advantage. But this matter does not have a big impact on the Huashan Army, and there is nothing to pay attention to. In contrast, last year, Yan Guo did not take advantage of his wedding to attack Shangdang and other places, but it was the biggest good news.

"What does the general think of the amnesty granted by the other party? At the beginning of the new year, the general has just gotten married, shouldn't we also have an amnesty? In this way, it can also make the people under his rule feel the kindness of the general, and it can be regarded as the general and the people are happy, isn't it? Tu Qi suddenly proposed on the side.

"No need! It is really kind to the people, and only fair and just law enforcement, not light punishment, and self-discipline of the people is the best way. Today I can grant amnesty for my own selfishness, and maybe one day I will be severely punished for my own selfishness! I'm not going to do that kind of thing! What's more, if everyone knows that there will be amnesty whenever something happens, where is the majesty of the law, and those who break the law in the future will not repent, and they will only know that they are waiting for amnesty every day! Li Xin rejected this suggestion without thinking about it.

In ancient times, emperors were very fond of amnesty. Especially some people who are not masters but claim to be masters like to do this. Just like the current Jiangzuo court, there will be an amnesty every three or five days, what is the point of such an approach!

Rather than showing mercy here, it is better to enforce the law prudently and fairly, and to punish as few people as possible, which is the real key.

"That's what the general said!" Tu Qi hurriedly replied.

"Go down and get ready! Tomorrow, let's go back to Chang'an from Jincheng via Lingju County! Li Xin thought about it for a moment and said to him.

Originally, he planned to go to Xiping County and other places to have a look and then go back, but what he got was that the mountains were covered by heavy snow over there, and the roads were already impassable. There was no way, he had to give up this plan.

The next day, the group began to move south. From here, everyone will start to go on their own roads, Li Erhei and Sun Tie will return to Xiaoguan and other places from the original way, and after Hu Tian arrives in Lingju, he will be stationed in Lingju County.

As for Zhou Tong's words, after passing Jincheng County, he will also return to Longxi County. At that time, it will really be only Li Xin and Tu Qi who will return to Chang'an.
