Chapter 491: Return to the heart like an arrow
Thanks to Shi Yiqian, he is not the kind of person who is reckless, otherwise, in the face of this kind of thing, the first thought is naturally to go to war directly and beat the Huashan army back. In addition to his own personality decision, there is another important reason, that is, because the center of gravity of the country, or the traditional sphere of influence, is actually not on the side of Shengle City, but on the grassland north of Yinshan.
At the same time, although the entire Dai Kingdom is now very prosperous, all the combined population is not comparable to the Huashan Army at all. Not to mention that there are other reasons why Shi Yiqian has to adopt this relatively conservative approach.
When Daiguo's side began to deploy troops to blockade the north bank of the Yellow River, Li Erhei and his two troops and horses were almost converging.
The speed of marching on the grassland is fast, and because there is no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass for the time being, in just half a month, the two armies have already entered the territory of Wuyuan County and met at the site of Wuyuan County.
After arriving here, less than sixty miles to the east, you can see the soldiers and horses arranged by Daiguo. After getting the news, Li Erhei and Hu Tian also stopped for a while, ready to discuss the plan of action for the future.
"Judging from the information we have received now, Daiguo has only deployed heavy troops on the north bank to defend it, and has no intention of crossing the river to fight us. Do you think it's better for us to find a way to cross the river next, or not to clash with them? In the ancient city of Wuyuan County, Li Erhei spread out the map and said to Hu Tianpenglin and others.
"Judging from the current situation, it may not be a good thing to fight with Daiguo. The weather is getting colder and colder, and I heard that it may snow heavily in a few days. The soldiers came from afar and were not too prepared, so in my opinion, it is better for us not to clash with them. Go directly south along the river, and then ~ enter the territory of Xihe County for replenishment, and then talk about the rest after recovering the entire Shuofang! Peng Lin looked at it and suggested.
"What about you?" Li Erhei looked at the others.
"We've barely stopped along the way. Fortunately, after entering Shuofang, we were a little more relaxed, but the soldiers were tired after all. Shuofang County, let's recover all of them, these five original counties, in addition to the two counties distributed in the territory of Daiguo on the north bank and one county in the north of Yinshan, we still have five counties that have not been recovered. In my opinion, let's hurry up and recover these places first! Hu Tian thought for a while and finally said. He meant this, roughly the same as Peng Lin's thoughts.
"Well, since you all think so, then I don't have a problem with that. Now that our Huashan Army is coming to the door, it is indeed not the time to expand the war. Then let's immediately send someone to report the situation to the general, and then quickly march along the river!" In short, as long as the soldiers and horses of the country do not provoke us, we don't have to pay attention to them. Seeing that the two of them had similar opinions, Li Erhei didn't have any opinions, so he said.
"By the way, let's go south to Xihe County this time, if the Yan army outside Yanmen Pass hears the wind, I am afraid that they will have some ideas. According to the last general's opinion, it is better to send someone to inform General Liao first, so that he can send someone to prepare for the response! Just as everyone reached an agreement, Yu Song suddenly proposed.
The northeast corner of Xihe County borders Wuyuan County, which is located on both sides of the Yellow River to the west of Yanmen Pass and Loufu Pass. This place is not particularly far from the counties of Mayi and Vatao, and now the Yan army is stationed there with a lot of soldiers and horses.
From the beginning of the struggle until now, the Yan army has never been able to take the Yanmen Pass and the Loufu Pass. Now, if they knew that there was a large army of Huashan Army moving south in the west, maybe there would really be some moves.
If the army had been ambushed along the way, it would have suffered heavy losses. I hadn't thought about this question before, and it was because it was too far away. But now the situation is different, and it is natural to take it into account.
"You're right, I'll send someone to inform Liao Chuan later, so that he can get ready!" This proposal was unanimously approved.
Soon after, the Huashan army advanced again. This time, they marched along the south bank of the Yellow River, and in the narrow places on the riverbank, they could faintly see the soldiers and horses of the country on the opposite bank. Both sides were secretly on guard, but in the end, neither made a rash move.
In this way, the two sides maintained a silent tacit understanding until the Huashan army left the defense area of the soldiers and horses of the country. And after the news came back to Shengle City, Shi Yiqian finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least, at this time, he didn't have to worry about starting a war with the strong enemy of Huashan Army in the cold weather.
On Li Xin's side, after getting the report from Li Erhei and others, he generally agreed with their view that they would accept it when they saw it. At this time, the first batch of officials who arrived first had already come to Linrong County to see him. Everyone soon divided their work and began to get busy.
It is impossible to completely restore a place like Shuofang, which has been abandoned for a long time, all at once. Therefore, Li Xin and the others did not think about becoming fat in one bite, but prepared to restore the county magistrates of each county first.
Shuofang County is located in Shuofang County, which is located at the confluence of the north and south ends of the Yellow River, and the distance from Linrong County is still very far. Except for Li Xin, who left some people in Linrong County to restore the county governance, most of the remaining people were sent there.
With the increase in manpower, especially the town troops who were dispatched, they gradually arrived, and all kinds of materials were slowly delivered. Therefore, Li Xin began to become relaxed. At this time, he finally couldn't hold back the joy in his heart anymore, and decided to set off first and rush home.
In Chang'an City, this period of time has been as lively as the New Year, especially in the General's Mansion, which has been newly decorated. It can be seen that everyone's attention to this matter is beyond ordinary things.
Although Li Xin has not yet returned, after Wang Meng and others discussed, they decided to rejoice with the people and let the two children who had just been born be gracious. They ordered the county government to distribute wine and meat to the widows, widows, the lonely, the old, the weak, the sick and the young in the counties.
In this way, when Li Xin's children were still breastfeeding, they had already gained a lot of popular support. Not only that, Wang Meng and others also decided to take this opportunity to implement an amnesty in the territory. However, this matter is not the same as giving wine and meat, and Li Xin's consent must be obtained.
When the official document went up, Li Xin was halfway through, and he was still hundreds of miles away from Chang'an. He had already said this kind of thing, so he vetoed it directly without hesitation.
"These two little guys have a good father! Before the teeth have grown, everyone will make merit for them! If I had such a good foundation, I'm afraid I would have unified the Central Plains by now! After reading these official documents, Li Xin couldn't help but joke to Tu Qi beside him.
This official document talks about all kinds of auspicious fortunes, as well as all kinds of favors in the name of the two children. Although in essence, this may be beneficial to the people, in Li Xin's view, it is indeed not a good sign.
After all, some people use this name to do good deeds, but they can't prevent some people from doing bad things with it! The important thing is that Enwei is all about one person, which is prone to all kinds of problems.
Those tyrants in history, they often caused great disasters to the people. But is it all their own doing? I'm afraid it's more than that! How many bad things are just done by the people below in the name of the faint king, and they are all counted on the head of the tyrant in the end.
Li Xin doesn't want his children to grow up in such an environment, after all, when he was a child, it was the time to shape a person's values and worldview. He doesn't want his career to be inherited by a loser in the future.
This is all the congratulatory meaning of the officials below, and from the perspective of the subordinates, it is not too much. Why should the general be angry! Tu Qi said on the side.
"Some are good, but some are too pompous! In these official documents, some people say that the local gentry want to pay for the construction of a pagoda to commemorate the birth of my two children. This kind of sign must not appear, and if it goes on like this, will it be okay? Li Xin pointed to some of the official documents and shook his head.
"This ..... It does seem to have gone too far! However, the gentry are not officials, and they want to curry favor with you, the general, so they will come up with this plan! When Tu Qi heard this, he was also a little crying and laughing.
"Hmph, these people! A family is so rich, if it is really a good person who is anxious for justice and righteousness, there is nothing, I am afraid that those who are rich and unkind, so they have to do some façade work, but they don't want to think about how to benefit the township! If they use the money to build a monument and a tower, they might as well pave roads and build bridges! Li Xin was very disgusted with this kind of flattery, and after thinking about it, he directly wrote harsh words on the official document.
After the group hurried and hurried, they finally rushed back to Chang'an City at the fastest speed, and they didn't have time to take a breath, and they didn't even bother to answer Wang Meng and others to greet him, so they ran back to the mansion like a wind.
"Alas, the general seems to be concerned about his wife and children, and he is so anxious, which is really different from his usual stable image!" Wang Meng originally bowed to Li Xin, but he didn't expect Li Xin to just reply with a waiver. By the time he straightened up, the figure was no longer visible, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Hehe, the general is a new father, so he is naturally excited! Isn't this the same when we were young? Hearing this, Liang Ping and the others behind him couldn't help laughing and said.
