After Zhuge Xiang's army retreated, he immediately sent people north to inform Zhang Ping. At this time, Zhang Ping had been in Jingling County for several days. The reason why he stayed in Jingling County instead of rushing to the camp was because after he arrived here from Yangyi County, he suddenly heard that there were enemy troops outside Wu County and Zhongdu County. The road leading to Yangliangguan has now become dangerous.

In this way, Zhang Ping, who had just escaped from the battlefield, naturally did not dare to go south. When he received the news and heard that Zhuge Xiang's army had retreated north, there was no way.

"Bastard, dare to withdraw the army without a military order, where will you put your own officer! Could this Zhuge Xiang want to rebel? In Jingling County, Zhang Ping almost pointed at Zhuge Xiang's nose and scolded.

"Calm the king's anger! Now that Li Xin has rushed to Yongan County, it is impossible to take Yong'an now. Zaidu, what General Zhuge thought was not wrong, the 30,000 soldiers and horses are now the foundation of the king's life, if this bit of soldiers and horses is also consumed, how can the king stand on his own? Seeing this, the surrounding strategists hurriedly persuaded him.

Hearing this, Zhang Ping finally calmed down a little. In the end, what he cares about most is his power. Expansion is good, but if it threatens your original position, you still don't want it.

"Moreover, this time we sent troops south, and we took Puzi County, which is not a complete gain. It's better to simply order General Zhuge to send troops to take Huchan County again! In this way, if there is another opportunity in the future, you can also raise troops to the south on the spot and bypass Yongan County! Another advisor suggested.

These Puzi County, Huchan County and Beiqu County are the three counties in the northwest of Binh Duong County. Among them, Huchan County is located on the east bank of the Yellow River, and Puzi County is at the foot of the mountain about 80 miles to the east, that is, Xi County in later generations.

Beiqu County is more than 100 miles away in the south of these two counties, and is located on the east side of the mountain range northeast of Hukou Waterfall in later generations. The county is located between two mountains, and there is just one way south to Pishi County.

From here, it is much easier to enter Hedong or Guanzhong. If there are two footholds in Huchan County and Puzi County, then when you go south in the future, you will have much more choices, and you don't have to stumble outside Yongan County.

"What you say is reasonable, hurry up and send someone to inform Zhuge Xiang and let him turn around and go west on the spot, and he must take these two counties!" Hearing this suggestion, Zhang Ping's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he agreed.

In Yong'an County, with the complete withdrawal of the enemy army, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it is not an easy task to face the pressure of tens of thousands of troops every day.

Li Xin is about to leave, but before leaving, he is also arranging the follow-up.

Although the enemy army retreated, Zhang Ping's ambition will not disappear, and he doesn't know when he will make a comeback. Therefore, the guards here in Yongan County are still not to be ignored. In addition, the Heilong Pass in the northwest of Pingyang County, as well as Beiqu County, are the main roads of Pingyang County, and you must send someone to take it and defend it as soon as possible. For a period of time in the future, I'm afraid we'll have to go on the defensive! Li Xin confessed to Liu Xiaohai.

"Don't worry, general, I'll send someone to do it immediately!" Liu Xiaohai also understood the importance of these two places, if it weren't for the lack of military strength, he would have sent troops to take Huchan and Puzi counties a long time ago, and there would be no need for such trouble.

"Well, it's good to understand, I'm relieved that you can do things!" After patting him on the shoulder, Li Xin nodded and said. Immediately, under the eyes of everyone, he went south and prepared to return to Guanzhong.

In Chang'an City, the news that Li Xin was coming back had already been sent back a few days ago. Knowing that the war was over, and now that the war was over, Wang Meng and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the pressure on them has been too great for all this time.

In order to support the war on the front line, officials in all parts of Guanzhong, including Hedong, can be said to have exhausted their efforts and exhausted their thoughts.

If it weren't for that, Li Xin wouldn't have fought so smoothly on the front line. Now that the fighting has stopped, everyone can finally rest.

And for ordinary people, the most talked about thing is probably that this time not only destroyed Fu Qin, but also won the Shangdang, and the territory expanded a lot again.

In this way, under the rule of the Huashan Army, the territory reaches Jincheng in Qinzhou in the west, Shangdang in the east, Shangluo in the south, and Anding in the north in the north.

The topography of this territory looks like a horizontal bar, spanning nearly 2,000 miles, but the distance between north and south is much smaller! Therefore, in the face of enemies on both sides of the east and west, the depth is enough. But when faced with the enemy from the north and south, the depth is too thin.

When Li Xin returned to Chang'an, Wang Meng led a group of officials and civil and military forces to greet him outside the city as usual. In Chang'an City today, there are many more civil and military forces, after all, after the last war, there are many people who have returned to the team on Fu Qin's side.

"Congratulations to the general's victory!" Under the leadership of Wang Meng, everyone shouted in unison.

"Fortunately, the soldiers have used their lives, and you have worked hard to have today's victory! This battle is not only the work of Li Xin alone, but the work of everyone in the Huashan Army! Li Xin shouted.

Amid the welcome and cheers of the people, Li Xin finally returned to his residence. After settling Quan Yi and the others temporarily, he also had to go home first. After all, this time I was really tired, and I had to take a break before I had the energy to deal with all kinds of complicated things.

With the return of Li Xin, the entire Guanzhong became more stable. When the war ended, the rest of the country slowly calmed down. After resting for the night, the next morning, Li Xin rushed to the office of the Central Government Office.

I haven't worked in Chang'an for several months, and now this desk is already full of official documents. These official documents are beyond Wang Meng's disposal, and must be decided by himself. For example, it is the appointment of Taishou in various places, and Li Xin has to see it himself before he can make the decision.

Not long after he sat down, Wang Meng and other officials, who had already been prepared, arrived one after another. Everyone knows that today is going to be a very busy day.

There were not many people present, that is, Wang Meng and Xu Fuzi, Lao Ma, Wu Hui and others. In addition, several generals who were responsible for staying in Chang'an were also here. None of them have official positions now, so they can't participate in the meeting.

"General, this is the expense account for the last few months, please take a look at it!" At the beginning of the first item, Xu Fuzi took out an account book.

Li Xin took it and looked at it, and the numbers written on almost every page made his heart skip a beat. After looking at the entire account book, he couldn't believe it.

"This ...... How much money has it spent in just a few months? Li Xin looked at Xu Fuzi and asked.

"Yes! Fortunately, when he fought against Fu Qin, he obtained a lot of military rations from Longxi and other places, otherwise, I am afraid that this consumption will be greater. On the party's side, basically Hedong consumes more. But the sum of the two places is not a small number! Thanks to Shangluo's business, there is a lot of income now, otherwise, it would be a bit tight! Xu Fuzi smiled bitterly.

He's the one who takes care of it himself, so he understands the problem best. If he hadn't known that this action was necessary, I'm afraid he would have to stop Li Xin.

"Alas, it is said that when there is a war, it is like running water! Now that I look at it, I know that this is really the case. After these few months, our accumulation last year has basically been exhausted! Li Xin couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

"Fortunately, the general had the foresight to take back the power of salt and iron, plus this year's bumper harvest in Hedong, Guanzhong, so that he can afford it. But after these battles, we must recover as soon as possible. Otherwise, everyone is afraid that they will have to live a hard life for a while! Wu Hui said.

"Well, so be it! This time, Fu Qin and Shangdang were defeated, and a lot of money was found from Fu Sheng's palace and Feng Yang's family, and you exchanged these things for food and silk. After all, the soldiers fought hard, and the war was over, and they could not be without rewards. Especially those soldiers who were killed and wounded in the battle must have a pension. You have to solve this problem as soon as possible! Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help frowning.

"At this point, the general can rest assured, we are not so embarrassed. As long as there is a period of tranquility in the future, it will be able to recover as soon as possible. The most important thing now is to rest with the people, so that the localities can settle down and resume production as soon as possible. Regarding his worries, Wang Meng hurriedly said.

"That's good! We can't let the soldiers chill! Since you don't have enough money, let's reduce it from me first! I'm just alone, and I don't usually need anything, so I halved my income. Also, look at those things in my house, if there is anything valuable, take them and sell them! Hearing his words, Li Xin was finally relieved. After thinking for a while, he said again.

"Where did the general say, if even you want to do this, then what should we do as current officials! In fact, it doesn't have to be this way, we have a larger territory now, and we have more resources under control. We don't have any money in our hands, but there are a lot of people in the place! As long as the power of salt and iron is extended to all places, this treasury will naturally be filled up quickly! Seeing his approach, several people present couldn't help but smile bitterly, but they were still very moved in their hearts. After all, there are very few people who can do this in this year. Seeing this, Wang Meng hurriedly asked him to retract his thoughts.

"After this big war is over, there should be no more big war in a short time. Taking advantage of this time, we will focus on people's livelihood and let the people under our rule live a good life. In this way, everyone will have more trust and support for our Huashan Army! Li Xin nodded, and then said.
