Chapter 111: Turf

"Wait! King Huainan, please wait! When Fu Sheng was excited, Taiwei Lei weaker stood up and stopped him.

"What does the Captain have to say!" Seeing this, Fu Chang hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's last words are to let us stick to Chang'an and not fight with the Huashan Army for the time being. Besides, although the Huashan Army is menacing this time, you have to ask about the situation first! Lei Xiao'er said in a deep voice.

"The captain's words are reasonable!" Hearing this, Fu Chang nodded, then looked at the soldier below and asked, "I came to ask you, is the Huashan army coming to Chang'an now?" ”

"Your Majesty, after the Huashan Army occupied Bacheng and Gaolu County and Chiyang County, they lined up in the east of Jingshui and Bashui, and never crossed the river, nor did they see any other movements!" The man said in fear.

"In this way, the purpose of the Huashan Army's action is not to attack Chang'an, but to be a little restless! Now that our army has withdrawn from Feng Yijun and other places, the other party will naturally take the opportunity to occupy them, and we don't have the strength to recover these places now. What's more, the Huashan Army is not an ordinary force, with our current strength, even if we kill it with a large army, I am afraid that we may not be able to wipe it out! After hearing this, Lei Qiao'er couldn't help but nodded, and then said.

Originally, all the ministers in the hall looked a little panicked, but after hearing this analysis, they couldn't help but secretly agree. With his current strength, there is no problem with self-preservation, but it is really too difficult to destroy the Huashan Army.

"Report, Your Majesty, the king of Liangzhou promoted Chen Cang and attacked Yixian, and Qiao Bing of Yongxian County also sent troops at the same time to attack Meiyang County! Both places urgently appealed to the imperial court for help, and asked Your Majesty to decide! "Before the people could come up with a result, another report came from Pegasus.

"Damn it, when the prime minister was there, they didn't dare to come out one by one, and now that the prime minister is gone, they all jumped out! It's really deceitful! Hearing this news, Fu Sheng, who had just calmed down, was angry again.

"Anti-thieves are rampant, it's really an eventful time, and the people think it's good to be now!" Getting this bad news, Fu Chang's face became even more ugly.

It has been less than a month since he ascended the throne, and he has encountered so many major events one after another, which really makes him a little exhausted. In addition, I am still recuperating from my injuries, and I have to deal with so many government affairs every day, which is really annoying.

"Your Majesty, now that the prime minister has just passed away, it is a time when the imperial court is unstable. That's why those thieves will take the opportunity to stir up trouble and want to trap my Great Qin in a dangerous place. In the humble opinion of the ministers, the present thing should be divided into two parts! Captain Liang Leng stood up at this time and said.

"What do you suggest?" When Fu Chang heard this, he couldn't help but be happy.

"Among the anti-thieves, the Huashan army is very difficult to level, and the other party has a clear position, and he just wants to divide the customs with us. Under this circumstance, we should focus on defending the Huashan Army, and also garrison troops on the shore of Jingshui Bashui to beware of the Huashan Army coming. As for Wang Qiao Bing, he must quickly send troops to sweep away, so that others can see that although the prime minister has passed away, Daqin is still there, and His Majesty's authority cannot be violated! ”

Si Li's words are timely, and they couldn't be better for the current situation of the imperial court. I hope Your Majesty will allow it! Liang Leng's suggestion was agreed by many ministers present. At this time, Lei Qiao'er and the others stood up and agreed.

This is indeed the best way for the Qin court now, to put it bluntly, it is actually to grasp the small and enlarge. After all, these people all understand that going to fight the Huashan Army at this time may not only have no good fruits to eat, but also may lose their last bit of wealth in Guanzhong.

But Wang Zhen and Qiao Bing are different, these two people are not opponents of the court at all in the eyes of the ministers. Otherwise, in the past, Fu Xiong would not give priority to the problem of the Huashan Army, and let Qiao Bing and Wang Jin go first.

Moreover, because of Huan Wen's retreat, Sima Xun, who was originally stationed in Nuwa Fort, has also withdrawn to Hanzhong. In this way, there were only two enemy forces left, which was much less difficult for the Fu Qin court.

Of course, there is another main reason, which is because everyone wants to eliminate these two rebels, so as to achieve the goal of stabilizing the morale of the army and stabilizing the imperial court. What's more, now that the land of Guanzhong has been divided into half by the Huashan Army, the remaining half of Fu Qin will probably be divided if it is not taken care of well.

When the time comes, let alone slow down the development, and finally eliminate the Huashan Army, I am afraid that even my own Chang'an may not be able to be saved. The ministers understood this truth, and Fu Chang naturally understood it, so after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Si Li's words are exactly what I want. It's just that who should be sent to pacify the two anti-thieves? ”

"Your Majesty, the king of Huainan is brave and good at fighting, so he can lead his troops to rescue Yixian County and completely quell the rebellion of Wang Zhen. General Wei Huangmei is also a general, so he can go to pacify Qiao Bing! After these two rebels are pacified, the people in the territory will be at peace! Lei Qiao'er recommended.

"According to the will of the Taiwei, quickly go to the king of Huainan and General Wei to quell the chaos!" There was no better candidate for Fu Chang, so even if he agreed.

Soon, the Qin court sent two armies, each with about 4,000 people, to pacify Wang Zhen and Qiao Bing. At the same time, most of the remaining troops in Chang'an City were assigned to the west bank of Jingshui Bashui to guard against the Huashan army.

Although Li Xin knew all this quickly, he didn't take it too seriously. For him, the current Fu Qin court was temporarily placed in the second position by him, and the first place was the governance of the newly occupied land.

"I'm afraid it's going to be a big difficulty this year! After the expansion of our territory, the number of people who ate suddenly increased, although our three counties are considered to be a bumper harvest, but it is impossible to fully support such a large population. In Huayin County, Wang Meng was a little worried.

"If you want to say something strange, you can only blame the Qin court, if it weren't for them cutting the wheat completely, I'm afraid this year should be a good year!" Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh.

Historically, there was a famine in Guanzhong that year, and a liter of rice was worth the price of a piece of cloth, but there is no record of any natural disasters. When he saw this history at that time, Li Xin once thought that it was probably because Fu Jian cut off all the green seedlings in order to resist Huan Wen.

In history, there must have been a lot of people who starved to death in Guanzhong this year, but no one knows how many people died. Moreover, Li Xin can't manage other places, but now that this half of Guanzhong is under his own rule, he naturally has to take this responsibility. It is impossible for him to watch the people under his rule starve to death.

"It's still a long time before we get food, but we still have to plan ahead! If we don't prepare for it, there will be a famine, and there will be a great disaster! Although Wang Meng didn't know what the future would hold, he saw the possible consequences with his keen eyes.

"You're right. But the food problem has always been a big problem, the entire Guanzhong is full of grain, if you don't have grain, I'm afraid there are only those big households! There is also the official warehouse of Fu Qin, there may be a lot of grain in stock! However, the official warehouse here has almost been emptied by us! Li Xin thought about it for a while, but he didn't have a clue.

"I plan to extend our practices in Huayin and other places to all counties, so that these people can hurry up and see if they can plant something else to deal with possible crises. In addition, can our soldiers take care of the affairs of the tuntian, so that they can also increase a lot of manpower and land! Wang Meng said.

"It is imperative to divide the land and the people, but there is a lot involved, and we can't go too deep for the time being. In addition, the matter of Tuntian, let's not do it for the time being, we are now facing a strong enemy, and the number may not be comparable to the other party, we still have to train elite soldiers first. Train an army of 20,000 as soon as possible, wipe out Fu Qin, and thus occupy the entire Guanzhong, and at that time, many of the problems we face will be much easier to solve. Hearing this, Li Xin pondered for a while before he spoke.

"Well, since you've already thought about it, then I'll arrange the division of the land first!" Wang Meng also knew what he meant, so he didn't force it.

After discussing for a while, the two decided on the general policy of the Huashan Army for a period of time to come.

In terms of government affairs, Wang Meng took care of it very well, and at this point, Li Xin was still very relieved. But now there is a shortage of officials, which has brought a lot of trouble to the governance of various places, and there is no way, and some counties can only be governed by those surrendered Fu Qin officials. It would be better to wait until the assessment was not suitable in the future and there were new civil servants to be dispatched.

Now that he has finally laid such a piece of land, Li Xin has made up his mind to manage it well. After all, this is the place where you started, and you can say that you have the hope of achieving greater goals. Relying on the dream that the three counties of Huayin can't hold up, you can rely on this half of the pass to support it in the future.

After arranging the defense affairs, the first thing Li Xin did was to take people to inspect the newly laid territory. After all, although he knew the general appearance of this place, he didn't know anything about it. Thinking that he might have to go around this area for a long time in the future, he naturally had to take a good look.

With one hundred and ten cavalry, he crossed the river from the north of Bacheng and went all the way north along Jingshui, preparing to walk along the foot of the mountains north of Guanzhong.
