Chapter 248: Mo Feng Arrives
Bai Qi and Sun Wu waited in the camp for three or four days, and the cavalry under Lu Bu's department came back from the Fengyue Trail very smoothly. Along the way, they didn't find the orc ambush.
About two or three days later, Fan Xiao's flying pigeon biography also returned, and they walked along the cliff of Fengyue Trail in the Five Elements Mountain, and they did not find the orc ambush soldiers. However, to their surprise, they found the people hiding in the Five Elements Mountains and the defeated soldiers of the Celestial Star Empire. They were managed by several generals from Bingzhou and Jizhou, and were distributed among the first of several refugee sites
What they saw was the general of one of the refugee sites, named Zhao Rong, who was a subordinate of Zhang Xian, the former assassin of Bingzhou. Now he has been persuaded to let him take his soldiers and people down the mountain and take refuge in Daqin. And he, too, was very willing to let several other generals go down the mountain. As long as an agreement is reached with them, many people and soldiers hidden in the Five Elements Mountain can be allowed to descend the mountain.
At the same time, they also received the help of Zhang Rong and continued to explore along the Fengyue Trail cliff. In a few days, when the agreement is reached and the road is complete, they will be able to return.
Seeing this letter, Bai Qi, Sun Wu and others sighed one after another, this orc did not find it, but found the remnants of the people hiding in the mountains, which has to be said, it is really unexpected. But when you think about it, it's not unusual that there are so many remnants of soldiers and people in the Five Elements Mountain! Liangzhou, Yongzhou and even Yizhou also had people flee to the mountains due to the war, and this is especially true of Bingzhou, which is surrounded by the Five Elements Mountains.
With so many remnants of soldiers and civilians, it is a key to resettle them. Today's annexed prefectures have not yet been fully recovered, so there is only an army, and no local officials govern the localities. Judging by the current situation, there will be no large-scale war in the state. Therefore, it was important for the empire to send local officials to govern the region, reassure the people, and restore production.
Immediately, the commanders and chiefs of staff of the five legions jointly sent a letter to the empire, to the effect that His Majesty the Guangwu Emperor of the Great Qin Empire could send local officials such as Assassin Shi and Taishou to govern and annex the state.
After another five or six days, Fan Xiao's flying pigeon message arrived again. He had already made an agreement with several generals hiding in the Marble Mountains, allowing them to take the position of generals, and their soldiers would join the imperial army. The people in the mountains were all settled in Bingzhou. In a few days, they will be back. On both sides of the cliff of Fengyue Path, all the exploration has been completed, and no trace of orcs has been found.
The letter also mentions that in the current situation, there will be no major wars in the future, and it is time for the empire to send local officials to govern. Let Great Qin gain the hearts of the people as soon as possible, which is very conducive to Great Qin's rule.
In addition, Fan Xiao also hoped that Emperor Guangwu would be able to come to the front line and command the Qin army to fight. This can boost the morale of the whole army; Second, it will be more conducive to the next empire to regain lost territory and win the hearts of the people.
"Wenhe, Shiyuan, what do you think?" Among the chiefs of staff of the five legions on the front line, Jia Xu, Fan Xiao, and Pang Tong were the real strategists; Sun Wu is part-time, not counted; Yang Su, who sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, says that he is the chief of staff, but in fact, it is more suitable to be regarded as the deputy commander of the corps. Therefore, when encountering this kind of problem, it is natural to ask Jia Xu and Pang Tong.
Jia Xu pondered for a while and spoke: "What Chief of Staff Fan said, I have not thought about it. Previously, my concern was that at the moment of the great enemy, His Majesty was on the front line, and our thoughts were more focused on His Majesty, rather than on the enemy; Now, in addition to this concern, there is another reason.
If Your Majesty is to go on a personal expedition, then a large army must come. The government soldiers in all parts of Chang'an need to garrison the place to defend Xianbei Hu. In Chang'an City, there are only 30,000 Yulin troops now. Once Chang'an's troops are withdrawn, I am afraid that the troops will be empty, giving those who have a heart an opportunity to take advantage of. ”
Jia Xu used this person with a heart very well, not only considering the threat of Xianbeihu, but also the possibility of an internal rebellion. Jia Xu is this character, who has been walking in the dark for a long time, and is skeptical of the people and things around him. It is not surprising that there is this idea.
"That means your majesty should not come to the front line?" Yang Su asked.
"You can say that, but there are also surprises, after all, our majesty is not an extraordinary person. Judging from the news from Chang'an, the queen and the crown prince have secretly gone to Ziyang Town with the queen mother, and all affairs in the court are presided over by the prime minister and monks. ”
