As soon as Wang Jing said this, Huo Qing immediately exclaimed: "Could it be that Zhu Li, who picked the thirteen generals of Shatuo and captured Fu Wenda alive?" ”

"Ranye" Wang Jing stared at Zhu Li and replied confidently.

As soon as he said this, even Gao Su was stunned, and shook his head with a sigh: "No wonder, no wonder, I said that the three brothers, for seven or eight years, have not been able to find an opponent, why did they plant it for no reason today, it turned out that they met the envoy." ”

After sighing, without waiting for Zhu Liqian to give in, Gao Su continued: "Zhu Envoy, the three of us brothers are tired of staying in Yinshan, and we want to change our livelihood, I don't know if there is still a shortage of people in the Envoy Jun's Assassination Mansion." ”

Gao Su's request was made very suddenly, but as soon as he finished speaking, the three of them looked at Zhu Li with a blank look, as if Zhu Li was some kind of fragrant bun.

As soon as he saw the other party open his mouth, he wanted to follow him, Zhu Li said in his heart Sure enough, as long as the reborn characters prompted by the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" must be like this, he is not surprised when he has seen Guo Qizuo and Gao Yuan.

He arched his hand and said: "If the three of them are willing to give in, the door of my Shuozhou Thorn Mansion will always be open for the three of them, and I am afraid that the three of them will be wronged." ”

As soon as they saw Zhu Li agree, the three of them were immediately overjoyed.

"Hahaha, make Jun humble, at least we can be sure of one thing now, that is, Jun and the three of us should be in the same way." Huo Qing took over the conversation, looked behind Zhu Li, and said meaningfully as Yue Qi, who was dressed as a bandit.

"Go, stay and go, how do you talk to the envoy." Gao Su is old after all, and it is not a glorious thing for Zhu Li to do this, he is afraid that Huo Qing's unruly mouth will anger Zhu Li, and then the thing will not be beautiful, so he patted the other party's shoulder and feigned anger.

"Hahaha, Huo Qing is right, in terms of dealing with the Khitans, we can indeed be regarded as people in the same way." Zhu Li smiled unmindfully.

Since the three of them decided to follow Zhu Li, naturally the operation of going north to loot could not be carried out, not only did they give up the action, but also specially invited Zhu Li and others to their Dazhai to observe.

Juxian Village is set up in the depths of Yin Mountain, there is only one trail that can be passed, the terrain is dangerous and wonderful, as if the deliberate attachment of God is general, giving the Han people in troubled times a good place to escape from the world, this is a good place to escape from the world, this is a good topography for a husband, ten thousand people can not open.

At the end of the trail is an open world, under the heaven and earth stands a big village, very huge, countless times larger than the original Shenmen Village, the big village is full of traffic, thousands of acres of fertile land, the village is very different, the chickens and dogs smell each other, as if a paradise in general.

According to rough estimates, the population in Dazhai is also 40,000 or 50,000 people, and as far as the eye can see, it is very lively, full of a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

What Zhu Li didn't expect was that in a corner of the Manshan Mountains outside the Guan, there were so many Han people, which had more population than Zhu Li's temperance in a state, which made Zhu Li a little surprised.

From Gao Su's mouth, Zhu Li knew that these people were once slaves of the Khitans. In today's Khitan, the aristocracy is fighting each other, and wars are frequent. Gao Su and Huo Qing, under the planning of Wang Jing, broke the lone tribes one by one, and only then did they rescue so many Han people, all of whom were placed here.

After seven or eight years of accumulation, it has been rebuilt four or five times before it has the current scale, and staying here is obviously safer than staying in Zhuli's Shuozhou.

The whole Dazhai, not to mention there are more than 15,000 strong people, most of the rest of the people are very young, and there are a lot of newborn children, after all, the slaves left by the Khitans are all young, old and weak, all of them have been brutally killed by the Khitans, and what they left behind are useful laborers for them.

Even if you don't rely on Gao Su and Huo Qing to loot, the people in Dazhai can be self-sufficient, seeing all this, Zhu Li was amazed, for these people, Zhu Li said that it was fake if he didn't move, but he knew that these people lived here, and it was obviously safer than staying in Shuozhou.

And Wang Jing also did not recommend that Zhu Li move them to Shuozhou, if they moved these people over, it would be fine, but they had to wait for Zhu Li to have a stable territory and be able to ensure the safety of the people, which Zhu Li obviously can't do now.

However, Zhu Li immediately had an idea, he asked Huo Qing and Zhou Dewei to stay, and enshrined Huo Qubing as the lieutenant of Guoyi, assisted Zhou Dewei, continued to encroach on the Khitans, and exchanged the captured cattle and sheep for grain, copper coins, silver, etc., and sent them to Shuozhou.

Subsequently, he selected 3,000 horse bandits from Yinshan, took Gao Su and Wang Jing, and returned to Shuozhou together with Yu Chi Jin. Wang Jing was appointed as the commander of Shuozhou, and together with Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao, and Zhang Xian, he handed over the 3,000 people brought from Yinshan, together with Shi Yan's original 1,000 people, to Gaosu, and set the goal of quietly controlling Shengzhou within two years, and then infiltrating westward.

At the same time, Zhu Li also captured the Han women captured this time, as well as the school-age women in the Khitan captives, a total of 700 people, some of them are the wives and daughters of the surrendered Khitan warriors, Zhu Li still let them maintain their marriage relationship, help them settle down in Shuozhou, unmarried, or widowed, they will be assigned to the soldiers under their command, of course, it depends on the willingness of both parties, if there is no willingness, it is not forced, most of the Han women are nothing, and those who are unwilling are mostly Khitan women.

For these easy things, Zhu Li assigned these single women to the auxiliaries, and the soldiers of the whole battalion could go to pursue them, but they couldn't force them, otherwise they would be killed.

Especially those who followed Zhu Li all the way from Tanzhou to the Northland, gave priority to marriage, and the local guards and Yue Cavalry in the Northland were suspended, he believed that Zhou Dewei and Huo Qing would continue to send people over, so that these single sons and daughters under their command would settle down in Shuozhou, and they would have a greater sense of belonging to Shuozhou.

This kind of marriage match does not only refer to Zhu Li's own subordinates, but even the guards led by Gao Yuan who are stationed in the Biaotou Temple, and the guards who are stationed at Yanmen Pass under the command of Zhang Guiba, also have a chance.

In terms of cultural governance in Shuozhou, there are Guo Qizuo, Wang Jing, and Guo Chongtao, three people with high IQs who are in charge, but they don't need Zhu Li to put much effort into it, it is worth mentioning that Wang Jing and Guo Chongtao are two people, these two people may be slightly inferior to Guo Qizuo in terms of military strategy, but in the governance of the place, Guo Qizuo is not able to beat the horse.

(Wang Meng: politician and military strategist during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.) Guo Chongtao: Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a famous general and strategist. ）

What Zhu Li didn't expect was that Wang Jing was even more handy in setting up education and cultivating talents, and he made up for the shortcomings of Guo Qizuo and Guo Chongtao.

Time flies, it's just negligence.

December 5 of the first year of Guangming.

A news that shocked the world swept the world.

Under the leadership of Huang Chao, the grass army invaded Chang'an, and Emperor Xizong fled to Chengdu. Zhu Wen, the general of Huangchao, persuaded Zhuge Shuang, the Tang general who pacified the Shatuo Rebellion, and Zhuge Shuang took refuge in Huangchao.

Datang Kyoto was actually broken by the grass army, which simply made countless people have a feeling of unreality.

Seeing that the New Year is coming soon, such a big thing has happened, I believe that there are few people in the world who can live a stable year this year.

As for Zhu Li's little thorn history, it was not greatly affected, he inspected everywhere at the end of the year, with Yinshan Zhou Dewei and Huo Qing continuing to loot, the soldiers' salaries were not only sufficient, but also happy money, and for a while, the Shuozhou army was very settled.

In terms of government affairs, the establishment of education has reached a considerable scale; On the people, the common people do not have to pay rent this year, and some poor families have also received relief and subsidies from the Assassin's Mansion, and no one has starved to death in winter, let alone frozen, and the people's hearts have returned.

This is also thanks to the small population of Shuozhou, there are nearly 20,000 people under Zhu Li's command alone, even if half of the people are taken out to help stabilize the people, it can be more than enough to take care of it, and the entire Shuozhou is full of vitality and hope in the first year of Guangming.

Guangming 2nd year, June.

Yan Yanjiedu made Li Xiaochang and Youzhou Assassin Shi Tuoba Sigong meet the alliance, and went south to King Qin under the banner of Kuangfu Tang and Chang'an, and called on all the heroes of the world to fight the enemy side by side.

Lu Longjiedu made Li Keju also receive their invitation, Li Keju agreed, so he ordered Zhu Li to command the headquarters and go south to King Qin.

After receiving the order, Zhu Li immediately transferred Zhou Dewei to Shanyang, handed over the important task of encroaching on the Khitans to Huo Qing, and dispatched Zhang Guihou from Yunzhou to him as his deputy.

In mid-June, Zhu Li, Zhou Dewei, and Shi Yan led 4,000 Yue cavalry south to King Qin. The affairs of Shuozhou are fully controlled by Guo Qizuo and others.

Xizong, who was in Chengdu, suddenly discovered that there were three loyal ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and immediately enshrined Tuoba Sigong as the envoy of Xia Suiyinjie, restrained Li Xiaochang and Zhu Li, and regained Chang'an for him.

In July, Emperor Xizong changed Guangming to Zhonghe in Chengdu, and the second year of Guangming became the first year of Zhonghe.

That is, this month, after more than a month of trekking, near Weiqiao, he made peace with the army of Li Xiaochang and Tuoba Sigong, and Huang Chao had already received the news and had already sent his general Zhu Wen to fight.

There are three bridges above Weishui, Li Xiaochang didn't know what he thought, and immediately suggested that Tuoba Sigong's troops be divided into three roads, and the three of them were responsible for a Weiqiao, and he himself chose a bridge in the middle to attack, Zhu Li was responsible for attacking the east, and Tuoba Sigong was responsible for attacking the west.

The bridge in charge of Zhu Li is in the west of the intersection of Jingshui and Bashui, and the bridge is straight from north to south, so it is not an easy place to take at first glance.

In the temporary tent, Zhou Dewei arched his hand to Zhu Li and said: "Envoy, this Li Xiaochang is uneasy and kind, the north of Zhu Wen and Weishui is also divided into three ways to resist us, and there is not much difference in the number of garrisons, and we only have 4,000 people, and they are all cavalry, if we attack hard, even if the whole army is annihilated, it is impossible to attack the past." ”

"That's right, envoy, it's not so much that he is in charge of the bridge in the east, but that we should be sent to death, this Li Xiaochang really deserves to be killed." Shi Yan echoed indignantly.
