Chapter 444: None of them are good stubble
Zifei fish, the joy of Anchi fish?
Wandu Gui was immersed in her own world, she said that she was very content, she felt very good, and there was no pain like Zhao Junsheng was worried about, what else could he say?
"The slave family opened a tailor shop in Pingcheng, and used the needlework you taught the slave family to cut and sew clothes, and now the business is very good, many princes and nobles in Pingcheng have come to the slave family to customize clothes, and the slave family can support themselves, and they can read books, write poems, and recite Buddhist scriptures in their spare time, which is very good!"
Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao once issued an edict to destroy the Buddha, many people in the Shamen were killed when they resisted, when he was still in power, there were not many people in the people who dared to believe in Buddhism, and no one dared to chant the scriptures in private, but after his death, the people died and the government was extinguished, and there were many rumors among the people that Emperor Taiwu was killed because of the edict to destroy the Buddha, so he was retributed.
Zhao Junsheng was really happy that Wan Yutong could be self-reliant, he looked at Wan Yutong and sighed: "If you really feel that the current state is not painful and uncomfortable, but happy and content, I don't want to persuade you anymore, I'm just worried that if you don't look for your in-laws, you will become a leftover girl in a few years, in the end, it is because of me that your youth will be delayed!" ”
"Leftover women?" Wan Yutong was puzzled.
Zhao Junsheng touched his face embarrassedly, "It's a woman who hasn't found her in-laws when she's older, and as she gets older, it becomes more and more difficult to marry." General Wan can't accompany you all his life, he will always grow old one day, I'm worried that you will trap yourself in this relationship and end up alone! ”
Wan Yutong smiled, "Physically suffering and suffering, coarse tea and light food on weekdays are not bitter, for the slave family, as long as you feel happy in your heart, it is good, the slave family's heart is only so big, it can no longer accommodate other people, the slave family wants to keep this beautiful ······ Can't you? ”
The ancients' pursuit of spiritual life was more than the pursuit of material life!
Zhao Junsheng sighed in his heart, "Of course······ OK! I may have to go to Youzhou in a few days to take office, and the emperor intends to make me the assassin of Youzhou."
"Really? That······ It's good, the day you left, the slave family didn't send you off, and the slave family was worried that they would follow you to Youzhou if they couldn't control themselves."
Zhao Junsheng couldn't take this question, so he could only change the topic, "Listen to the emperor's meaning, you may have to transfer Mulan to Pingcheng to work, and you can move around more when the time comes!" ”
Wan Yutong showed a slight smile on his face, "That's good, with Mulan in Pingcheng, no one will dare to bully the slave family in the future!" ”
Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but say, "If she doesn't come to Pingcheng, ordinary people don't dare to bully you, the daughter of General Wanda, who dares to bully?" ”
At dusk, Zhao Junsheng sent Wan Yutong to the door of the house, and it was not until she reluctantly walked into the door of the house that he turned around and returned to the post house.
On the morning of the next day, the emperor sent someone to officially read out the decree, appointing him as the Marquis of Yunzhong and the general of Pingbei as the assassin of Youzhou, and set off for Youzhou to take office within three days.
At this time, Youzhou and Youzhou in the Han Dynasty had greatly reduced the area under its jurisdiction, and Youzhou under the Northern Wei Dynasty only had Yan County, Yuyang County and Fanyang County, a total of three counties and eighteen counties.
As a frontier state, the rights of the assassin are much greater than those of the inland state, not only in charge of the army, but also in charge of civil affairs and finance, which is almost the same as the right of the Tang Dynasty.
Prefectures and towns are the same in level, and the establishment of towns and prefectures in an area depends on the situation, and the people under their jurisdiction are smaller, and they are all military households that set up towns to serve the military; If there are a large number of ordinary people who need to pay taxes under the rule, it is necessary to set up a state, with civil administration as the mainstay.
After sending away the eunuch who announced the decree, Zhao Junsheng summoned Guo Yi and ordered: "Take your meticulous spies to Youzhou first, and set off this afternoon, your task is to find out the situation in Youzhou and Kumoxi and Beiyan before arriving in Youzhou, and focus on the interior of Youzhou first!" ”
"Yes!" Guo Yi hugged his fists and agreed, then turned around and went out to prepare.
Zhao Junsheng thought for a moment and then called Gao Xu over, "Gao Xu, I want you to go back to Wuchuan Town, bring our original cavalry from the caravan to Youzhou, and take the outside of the fortress in the name of the caravan, don't take the route within the Great Wall!" ”
Gao Xu asked: "We originally had a total of nearly 10,000 infantry cavalry, you asked Xue Andu to take 3,000 to Yongzhou, and there are about 7,000 left, how many men and horses should we bring this time?" ”
"The situation in Youzhou is complicated, bring 4,000 people, and leave more than 3,000 people left for Gao Xiu to deal with emergencies, he has more than 5,000 recruits in his hands, plus the 3,000 veterans left, a total of 8,000 people, enough for him to deal with any scene, you have a good rest today, leave early tomorrow morning, and bring me a letter to Mulan when you leave!"
"Yes, General!"
On the morning of the second day after Gao Xu left, Zhao Junsheng also took Cao Jiao, Pei Jin, Dongfang Chen and more than a hundred and so personal guards and cavalry to set off in the direction of Youzhou.
On the morning of departure, not long after Zhao Junsheng and others left the city, a carriage appeared at the gate of the city, and a beautiful woman sat in the carriage.
On the city wall above the head of the carriage, a female general in armor appeared, wearing a helmet with red feathers on her head, holding a sword and watching Zhao Junsheng disappear into the sky with the team.
The distance from Pingcheng to Youzhou is farther than the distance from Pingcheng to Wuchuan Town, and when Gao Xu rushed back to Wuchuan Town with Zhao Junsheng's letter, Zhao Junsheng and his party had just entered the boundary of Fanyang County.
"General Hua, this is the letter that General Zhao asked his subordinates to bring to you!" In the lobby of the town guard mansion in Wuchuan Town, Gao Xu took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Mulan.
Mulan took the letter and asked, "How is he in Pingcheng?" Are you coming back this time? ”
Gao Xu said: "The general and the others are very good, when the subordinates set off and returned from Pingcheng, the general had not yet set off for Youzhou, and the subordinates estimated that they had almost entered the Fanyang realm now!" The subordinates returned on the orders of the general, and the details of the situation have been written by the general in the letter, and General Hua will know it at a glance! ”
Hua Mulan opened the letter and read it, Zhao Junsheng explained everything that should be explained in the letter, in addition to asking Gao Xu to take away the four thousand cavalry, he also expressed his own views on the issue of Hua Yuan and his brother-in-law Hua Xiong, thinking that it would be more appropriate to leave his mother-in-law and brother-in-law in Wuchuan Town.
After reading the letter, Mulan pondered for a moment, and ordered: "Come on, go and call Vice General Gao!" ”
Soon, Gao Xiu, who was wearing a helmet and armor, walked in, hugged his fists and said, "General, you are called a subordinate?" ”
Hua Mulan nodded and said: "General Zhao has sent a letter, the form of Youzhou is complicated, he ordered you to gather 4,000 men and horses from the caravan guard and hand them over to Gao Xu to take away, all of them will be cavalry, and the remaining more than 3,000 people will be left to you!" ”
"Yes!" After the high repair, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Hua Mulan stopped him: "Wait a minute, General Zhao sent a letter saying that after a period of time, the emperor is likely to transfer this general to Pingcheng to serve, he has recommended to the emperor that you take over the post of general of Wuchuan Town, the emperor has agreed, if there is no accident, this Wuchuan Town will be in charge of you in the future, and we still need you to support this little family business we left, if there is a problem with the business here, our original more than 10,000 soldiers will have no source of military expenditure!" ”
Gao Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately clenched his fists and said: "General rest assured, as long as his subordinates are still in Wuchuan Town, no one will dare to touch our business!" ”
Two days later, Gao Xu set out from Wuchuan Town with 4,000 cavalry and more than 15,000 war horses, crossed the Outer Great Wall and headed east to Youzhou.
A few days later, Zhao Junsheng and his entourage entered Guangyang County, which is in Yan County, and lived in a post house, and they could enter Jixian County after a day's walk.
Since entering the boundary of Youzhou, officials and generals at all levels of Fanyang County, who had already received the news, were waiting at the junction to greet them, and Zhao Junsheng did not deliberately pretend to be high, mingled with the officials and generals, accepted their banquets, and secretly observed the local officials, people's livelihood and military affairs.
That night, Zhao Junsheng sent away the enthusiastic Guangyang County Commander and other officials, and waited for Guo Yi, who had come ten days earlier to investigate the news.
Oil lamps were lit in the room, and two guards with knives stood in the room and two guards with knives in the room.
The door was opened, Li Bao let Guo Yi walk in, and the door was pulled back again.
"Meet the young master!" Guo Yi stepped forward to salute, he was no longer the image of the flamboyant street thief he was back then.
Zhao Junsheng put down the scroll in his hand, sat upright on his knees, and said, "How is the investigation?" ”
Guo Yi bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "The situation in Youzhou has basically been investigated, most of the scouts have already mixed into the local caravans, and are sneaking into Beiyan and Kumoxi one after another!" ”
"Then let's talk about the situation in Youzhou first!"
"Yes!"
Guo Yi agreed, and immediately told the situation in Youzhou that he had explored these days.
"Now Youzhou has a total of three counties and eighteen counties, General Wu Bing, Fanyang County Taishou, and Jianliang Township Commander Mao Xiuzhi was originally a general under Liu Yu, and was later captured by Hu Xiaguo in Guanzhong, after Hao Lianchang of Hu Xiaguo was captured by our dynasty, Mao Xiuzhi returned to our dynasty, at that time, the first emperor was very fond of him, and directly appointed him as the general of Wu Bing, leading all the captured more than 8,000 soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty, and there was a son named Mao Faren!"
"General Yokono, Yanjun Taishou, and Li Yuande, the commander of the military capital, this person was originally the Yingchuan Taishou of the Southern Dynasty, and was later captured by our Dynasty! His subordinates led 12,000 Han soldiers! Mao Xiuzhi has not been in our dynasty for a long time, only a few years, and he has only been the Taishou of Fanyang County for two years, but Li Yuande has been in office for some years! ”
"General Zhenbei and Taishou of Yuyang County concurrently serve as the lord of the Yuanping garrison, and there are 5,000 soldiers under his command, more than half of them are Xianbei people, and the other half are other clansmen! With the general of Zhenbei as the Taishou and the commander of the war, it is actually a low position and a high match, and Feng Yu has many complaints about the court on weekdays! ”
Zhao Junsheng listened to Guo Yi's news one by one, Guo Yi's memory was really good, and he kept talking for half an hour without pause.
"None of these people are good at stubble, it seems that this time it will not be true!" Zhao Junsheng sighed in his heart.
After Guo Yi finished speaking, he took out a stack of white paper from his arms and handed it over, "General, this is the topographic map of the mountains and rivers of Youzhou drawn by the scouts!" ”
Zhao Junsheng took the map and looked at it, nodded and said, "Good job, next to General Liben, you have to know every move that happens in various parts of Youzhou!" ”
