Chapter 331: The Eleventh Year of Yonghe

At first, the people in the house who received the order thought that they had heard it wrong, but when they asked it clearly, everyone couldn't help but be happy. Although Li Xin is very easy with these servants on weekdays, but after all, there is a difference between the top and bottom, and everyone will always unconsciously stay away from Li Xin under awe.

Now Li Xin sympathizes with them and lets everyone eat together and celebrate the New Year together. This also made everyone feel a burst of warmth in their hearts!

After all, at a time like this, it is already very good for the host to have a gift, where is it possible to sit together. Many people were moved in their hearts, but they didn't know how to say it, but they secretly made up their minds in their hearts that they would do their best to serve Li Xin in the future.

"Today's New Year, everyone eats well! Everyone can drink alcohol, but don't drink too much! Some of you have been with me since the beginning, and some of you have entered the General's Mansion later. But in any case, I, Li Xin, thank you, for the past two or three years, all the affairs in the palace have been taken care of by you! Come, I'll toast you! After everyone arrived, Li Xin stood up, raised his wine glass and said.

"The general's words are serious, it should be me waiting for the general to have a cup!" The housekeeper in the General's Mansion hurriedly said at this time.

This old butler was about to burst into tears at this time, because he was one of the eunuchs who had been released from the Fu Qin Palace! Because there was nowhere to go, and Li Xin's house also needed a group of people to take care of it, in the end, Wang Meng and the others arranged for a group of original palace people to come in.

At this moment, except for some people who were directly recruited from outside later, most of them were eunuchs and palace maids in the original Fu Qin Palace. In the beginning, the stewards of the palace were not eunuchs, but ordinary people.

Although there are only a few eunuchs, because they were in the palace in the past, they were in charge and more experienced! So, in the end, the role of this steward fell back to them. After all, with the continuous improvement of Li Xin's status and status, how can ordinary people know so many rules.

Li Xin was against it at first, because in his opinion, it seemed to be similar to the emperor. But later~ after the enlightenment of Wang Meng and others, they also accepted it.

After all, there are still many of these palace servants who have nowhere to go, and it is unlikely that they will stay in the small city. And the Huashan Army, I am afraid that he is the only one who is qualified to use these people.

Wang Meng Whether they have other considerations, Li Xin doesn't know, but for this reason, he has to agree.

And for these people, in the past, they served Fu Jian and others in the palace, and some of them were even palace people who had served Shi Zhao before. When had they ever seen such an approachable host, so they felt very deeply compared to the two.

Although everyone didn't dare to completely let go of Li Xin's words, at least they were much more harmonious. Everyone got together, and it can be regarded as a lively year, and the warmth and coldness of people are nothing more than that.

As soon as Chinese New Year's Eve passed, it entered the twelfth year of Yonghe.

When he got up early in the morning, Li Xin couldn't help but pinch his fingers and count, it had been three years since he came to this era. In a few months, it will be three years.

Looking back on his experience in the past few years, Li Xin himself couldn't help but be a little surprised. Who would have thought that he was just an ordinary college student at the beginning, but now he has become a hegemon here!

Think about the high spirits when you first came, and vow to make a passionate career. Now it seems that the blood is not cold, the ambition is not stopped, and the edges and corners of themselves have not been smoothed out by the tide of this era, and I don't feel much comforted in my heart.

"So be it! Step by step, step by step to achieve the goal. Perhaps, in the end, it will be able to fulfill that noble dream! After thinking about it, Li Xin couldn't help but muttered to himself.

"General, General Tu Shen is asking to see you outside!" was sighing with emotion, and the sixth son approached to report.

"Oh? He's back so soon? Let him in! Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then ordered.

It didn't take long for Tu Qi, who was dressed in blue clothes, to come from outside the door, and the cloak he was wearing was untied halfway. Come to think of it, I think it's not polite to see Li Xin like this.

"My subordinates meet the general, I wish the general good health!" After the meeting, Tu Qi gave a big gift first, which was regarded as a New Year's greeting.

"Well, I also wish you an early birth to a precious son! Come in and talk! It's weird cold outside! Why are you running back so quickly when you're not at home with your wife? Seeing his appearance, Li Xin also arched his hand, and then joked.

Tu Qi is not very old, but he has won Li Xin's credit, but he has always been single. His parents are long gone, so no one cares about it. However, during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Wu Heng returned to Chang'an City on business, and just happened to be a matchmaker for him, and he married the daughter of a small official in Chang'an County.

If you count it, less than half a year has passed. In addition, in the past period of time, Tu Qi followed him everywhere to inspect, so he rarely had time to accompany his wife at home, so Li Xin made fun of him.

"Anyway, it's close to home, so you can go back early every day. The things that the general explained are important, so it's better to come over and deal with them every day! In case something important is missed, there may be serious problems at that time! Tu Qi said with some embarrassment.

"You! Let's talk about it! What's the news! "It's naturally a good thing that his subordinates are so conscientious, but Li Xin doesn't want to treat his subordinates as old scalpers. Shaking his head, he said.

"There are not many important things, mainly related to Yan Kingdom! In December last year, Murong Jun sent troops south to attack the Qingzhou Duan Shrine, but there was no fighting, and the two sides temporarily formed a confrontation. According to the spies' news, Murong Ke didn't seem to be in a hurry to start a war with Duan Gong, but was ready to fight for a long time! Tu Qi hurriedly said.

"Murong Ke has always been cautious in his use of soldiers, and so is his personality. This is also the reason why Murong Jun trusts him and entrusts him with all the major affairs of the country. Although there was no wisdom in that niche, he occupied a favorable position, and his strength was not weak due to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Coupled with the fact that Murong Ke's army came from afar, if the war started immediately, it would not be beneficial to the Yan army. Murong Ke should have seen this, so he chose to avoid his edge and weaken his ambition! Hearing this, Li Xin pondered for a moment before he said.

"It is said that Duan Shrine has a brother Duan Zhen, who is brave and resourceful. He advised Duan Gong to take advantage of the fact that Murong Ke's army had just arrived on the bank of the river and had not yet crossed the river, so as to lead his troops to deploy defenses on the south bank to block the Yan army. But Duan Niche didn't listen, and Duan Zhen's persuasion failed, but he was killed by Duan Niche! ”

"That's why I said that Duan Gong can't listen to people! He does ~ everything according to his own ideas, completely ignoring the advice of others. If we occupy Qingzhou, as long as we deploy defenses on the south bank of the river, it will not be so easy for Murong Ke's army to cross the river and enter Qingzhou! He wasted a great opportunity. Duan Shrine was defeated this time, but it's a pity that the people of Qingzhou, I don't know how many will die in the war again! Li Xin said lightly.

"Yes! The Yan army was originally outnumbered, and if there was no natural danger, it would not be easy for Duan Gong to win. Unless he's a good guy and can win by surprise! For this matter, Tu Qi couldn't help but sigh.

After all, anyone who is a little smarter will not give up the Yellow River. Qingzhou is south of the Yellow River, not far from the banks of the Yellow River. And now the Yellow River has not completely fallen under the control of the Yan army as it did later!

Especially west of Luoyang, which is either under the control of Jiangzuo or Huashan Army, if the Yan army wants to cross the river, it will inevitably have to take a detour. Not far northeast of Qingzhou is Laizhou Bay, from where it is impossible to cross the sea, after all, the south side of the sea is the hinterland of Duan Niche.

In this way, Murong Ke has fewer options to cross the river, and he has to guard against the possible dispatch of the Jin army and the Huashan army on the Luoyang side. There are so many advantages there, but Duan Gong is turning a blind eye, it is really stupid.

"We don't care about the life or death of Duan Niche, but there are a lot of people in Qingzhou! You tell me to go down and find a way to let the people over there bring a group of people out, and those with skills try to bring them back! Murong Ke won't do anything to ordinary people, but these hundreds of industrialists can't fall into their hands! After thinking about it for a while, Li Xin explained.

"Yes, the order will be sent as soon as the lower official returns!"

"Is there anything else besides?" Li Xin nodded and asked again.

"No big deal for now! However, in December last year, the king of Goguryeo sent hostages to Murong Jun to pay tribute, and at the same time asked his mother to return to China. Murong Jun specially sent Diao Gong, the general in the palace, to send his mother back, and at the same time, he also named the king of Goguryeo as the general of the expedition to the east, the assassin of Yingzhou, and the prince of Lelang, and the king name did not change! In this way, the rear of Yan Kingdom is stable! Tu Qi thought for a moment and replied.

Goguryeo was in Liaoning Province in later times, near the Yalu River. At this time, its strength was not as strong as in later generations, so it had to be attached to the dynasty of the Central Plains.

But it was precisely because it encountered such a chaotic period as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties that it was able to continue to expand westward, and finally reached its peak in strength during the Sui and Tang dynasties.

"Goguryeo! After the beginning of spring, send some people there to find out the situation in that area. In particular, we should grasp the internal situation of Goguryeo as much as possible. Although we won't need it for a while, we will have a chance to use it in the future! Hearing this name, Li Xin couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and then said.

"Subordinates understood!"

"Well, if there's nothing else to do, you can go back first!" Li Xin nodded and said.
