"Haha, all over the world, whoever is the land of my Great Song Dynasty will definitely enjoy the same preferential treatment. It's just that there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and depending on the region, it may be necessary to get rich first to drive the latter to get rich! But rest assured, as long as you are loyal to the country, you can get together with prosperity and be well-off! Qu Ping said dryly.

Someone asked weakly: "Dare to ask adults, what is a well-off, I and other people in the countryside have limited knowledge." ”

Qu Ping looked at everyone's earnest little eyes and said: "Well-off is a kind of living state between food, clothing and prosperity that the majority of ordinary people enjoy!" First solve the problem of food and clothing for everyone, then go to a well-off, and finally achieve common prosperity! ”

Qu Ping painted a beautiful blueprint, which made everyone very fascinated, and I really wanted to see this day as soon as possible.

"There is an adult's words, we swear to follow them!" Everyone toasted Qu Ping one after another.

"Villain Dongzan, toast to adults on behalf of our department!" The man named Dongzan toasted Qu Ping, and the two drank it all, and Dongzan continued, "My lord, try our unique local roast lamb shank, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and juicy, and you have to take a whole stick in your hand and eat meat and drink wine, that is called cool!" ”

Qu Ping took the leg of lamb handed over by Dongzan, chewed it in a big bite, and exclaimed, "It's so fragrant!" ”

Suddenly, the cold light flashed under the leg of mutton, and Wang Chongyang next to him shouted: "Be careful!" ”

It turned out that Dongzan took the opportunity to assassinate Qu Ping!

When others saw that Dongzan suddenly made a difficult attack to stab Qu Ping, they all retreated, and whether this knife went down, whether it was success or failure, would determine the fate of everyone.

Qu Ping had long been wary of the assassination of others, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, and he was proud in Dongzan's heart, thinking that he could successfully kill Qu Ping, Qu Ping suddenly tightened his abdomen, pressed Dongzan's right wrist holding the knife with his left hand, and swung the leg of mutton as a weapon with his right hand to Dongzan's face. Dongzan's neck twisted to dodge Qu Ping's leg of mutton attack, and his right wrist rotated upside down with a dagger to stab Qu Ping's heart.

Qu Pingxin said good guy, there are really two hits. Over there, Wang Chongyang was about to step forward to help, but Qu Ping shouted and asked him to watch. Wang Chongyang guarded the side, in case anyone else joined the assassination. Qu Ping's soldiers had already drawn their swords and bows and arrows, confronting the enemy soldiers, and only waiting for an order to use the strongest attack.

Dongzan shouted while fighting: "Everyone go up together, kill him, the Song army has no leader, and naturally retreat!" ”

Zhao Huaien hurriedly said: "Don't listen to him, everyone has old and young people and family property, don't set yourself on fire!" ”

Seeing that no one dared to help, Dongzan scolded a bad seed, and the dagger in his hand kept flying. The hands are two doors, and the beating is all by the legs. In the flash of light, Qu Ping kicked off Dongzan's dagger, and used the bare leg of mutton bone on his hand that had been shaved to resist Dongzan's carotid artery, Qu Ping shouted: "Accept your fate and be captured!" ”

"Don't think!" Dongzan was still fighting, waving his hand viciously and grabbing Qu Ping's face.

Qu Ping knew that this kind of diehards would not surrender, and it was useless to say more, so he poked the leg bone of the mutton in his hand hard, penetrating Dongzan's neck. Fiery red arterial blood gushed out, like a Baotu spring. Dongzan helplessly opened his eyes, and his body collapsed limply to the ground.

"My lord is angry, this is all Dongzan's own initiative, but we are sincere!" Zhao Huaien was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the others hurriedly knelt down.

Qu Ping snorted: "If there are two more two-minded people, this is an example!" After saying that, he took his subordinates out of the city and returned to the camp in a rage.

Zhao Huaien and the others panicked, for fear that Qu Ping would lead troops into the city to kill. Some people suggested that you just pack your bags and run. After the discussion, Zhao Huaien overrode the public opinion, and together with the leaders, tied up all Dongzan's family and cronies and escorted them to Qu Ping's military camp to bear the guilt.

Later, I don't know who started it, and all Dongzan's family members and cronies were beheaded. It is estimated that someone who has a dislike for Dongzan is playing on the topic.

At this point, Zhao Huaien had no choice but to go to the Song military camp with these heads with the leaders to plead guilty.

Zhao Huaien and the others saw Qu Ping and said: "My lord, please calm your anger, the Dongyi gang has now been ambushed!" ”

Qu Ping said angrily: "Confused, who asked you to kill all his family!" The crime is not as innocent as the innocent, and you are not blaming me for such an act! ”

Zhao Huaien and the others looked at each other, but they didn't expect that what they thought was good intentions had done something wrong.

"Forget it, now that the wood is complete, I believe you have a way to give an explanation to the people!"

The leaders resigned, saying, "Yes, we'll take care of it!" ”

Qu Ping said: "There are no rules, there is no circle, the state has national laws, and the family has family rules. The marshal has the right to appoint, and now appoints Zhao Huaien as the governor of the state, and the name of the state will be changed to Guzhou in the future, and the leaders have made meritorious contributions to the state capital. Of course, the melon that is twisted is not sweet, and those who want to start a business freely can do it at their own convenience! ”

Zhao Huaien was ecstatic in his heart, and led everyone to thank him: "Thank you for the reward!" The lower officials should do their best to ensure the stability of the local area, and obey the orders of the imperial court! ”

Qu Ping nodded and said, "Very good, Ben Shuai will write a note to inform the emperor of this matter, and I believe that the official appointment documents of the imperial court will be conveyed to you soon." The following personnel appointments can be appointed by Mr. Zhang. Remember, everything is handled impartially, if you have a full pocket, use power for personal gain, beware of the resumption of the legal net! ”

"Yes, the lower officials can save it!" Zhao Huaien thanked him again, he didn't expect that he could still get a Zhizhou, he really couldn't think of it. If it weren't for his own sincerity, and he was a Han Chinese, he probably wouldn't have such a big face.

Qu Ping took a thick book from Wang Zhiquan's hand and handed it to Zhao Huaien: "This is the "Great Song Law", you study hard after you go back, and you must not violate the law, otherwise I will be the first to repair you!" ”

The new Guzhou officials all said yes.

Qu Ping said again: "When you go back, you will immediately report the statistics of the soldiers, civilians, merchants and livestock in Guzhou to me, and you must not omit them!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Huaien responded, "If the lord moves to the city, if the subordinate officials don't understand something, they should immediately ask the lord for advice." ”

Qu Ping thought that this adult Zhang really went on the road and didn't hurt him in vain. Qu Ping agreed to move some of the officers and soldiers to the city, and ordered the troops to continue to garrison outside the west gate.

There are about 20,000 people in Guzhou, nearly 10,000 remaining troops, and about 5,000 horses, which can be regarded as a large force. Qu Ping stayed here for ten days, and along the way, there were other small cities and tribal leaders around him who came to defect under Zhao Huaien's advice, making Guzhou City look less weak.

Qu Ping still had the important task of rescuing Liu Xiaochen and Li Changyou, so he couldn't stay longer, so he ordered Wang Zhiquan to stay in Guzhou temporarily to assist Zhao Huaien in getting familiar with the management of state affairs, and left 500 troops to be mobilized by Wang Zhiquan. Although the force is small, it can hang like a sharp sword over the heads of these new defectors, which has a deterrent effect. Qu Ping took more than 9,000 men and horses from the original department, plus 5,000 soldiers and horses from Guzhou, integrated into nearly 15,000 cavalry, pulled up the grain and grass, and rushed to Youchang City.

After Liu Xiaochen and Li Changyou persuaded the remnants of the Uighurs to join the Great Song Dynasty with their three-inch tongues, they were pursued and intercepted by the Western Liao. This is their last sphere of influence.

But it was said that the two of them took advantage of the night to get out of the Yumen Pass, and walked forward and backward in fear, and suddenly, the two fell into a trap at the same time. The trap is four meters high, but fortunately there is no sharp knife or anything underneath, otherwise it would have been explained in one hole and two lives.

The two tried their best to finally climb out. Suddenly, dozens of people gathered outside, and they were babbling about foreign languages, and then they were arrested and sent to a camp.

There were many people in the camp, some who did not have tents to live in, and everyone snuggled up to the wall to keep warm. Liu Xiaochen was very strange, thinking that why didn't he light a bonfire when he was cold.

The two of them were escorted to a large room, where a fire was blazing, and as soon as they entered from the outside, they felt a rush of heat, and they were very comfortable. There were more than ten people gathered in the room, and one of them, a man with thick eyebrows and cold eyes, was estimated to be the leader of this group. He croaked and said a few words, Liu Xiaochen and Li Changyou stared at each other, and they didn't understand what the other party said.

A sharp-faced man next to the man said in Chinese: "This is our Great Khan Bilge, who are you two who dare to intrude into the territory of the Great Khan?" But the spy sent by Yelu Dashi? ”

It turns out that there are people who can speak Chinese, so it is easy to communicate.

Liu Xiaochen struggled for his arms, but the people on both sides grabbed him tightly, so that he couldn't break free at all. Liu Xiaochen said awe-inspiringly: "It turned out to be the Great Khan, who has long admired the name of the Uighur Great Khan Bilgowei, and the Gaochang Uighurs have always been good friends with my Great Song Dynasty for generations. I am the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, Liu Xiaochen, and I came from afar to ask to see the Great Khan! ”

The Uighurs of Gaochang called themselves the Uighurs of Xizhou, and since the founding of the Song Dynasty, they had written to Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, calling themselves "nephews of Xizhou Waisheng" and entering the palace all year round. Because the strength of the Uighurs in Gaochang was difficult to compete with the Song Liao, they also paid tribute to the Liao State, which can be said to be stepping on two boats. Because of its remote location, and there is no oil and water to make people red, so Song Liao turned a blind eye, anyway, he was a subservient minister, and he could pay tribute, which could be regarded as a fixed source of wealth.

The translator conveyed Liu Xiaochen's words to their Great Khan Bilge, and then translated Bilge's meaning to Liu Xiaochen.

The translator said: "I am Hemad, the Great Khan asked you, you said that you are an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and you have no evidence, but you have a token?" ”

The Uighurs of Gaochang sent people to the Great Song Dynasty to ask for help, but they did not hear from them for a long time. Bilgor Khan has been worried about this matter.

The soldiers holding Liu Xiaochen and Li Changyou let go of their hands at the signal of Bilgor's eyes, retreated to the side, and continued to pounce on them as long as the Great Khan gave the order.

Liu Xiaochen took out the official seal from his bosom and showed it to everyone, and said: "My emperor heard that your country was oppressed by the Liao people, and he went to the Great Song Dynasty to ask for help at the request of your country's secret envoy. ”
