Chapter 227: Reviving War (4)
When he heard this, he sat up abruptly, and said to the man outside the tent, "Bring it in quickly, and give it to me." ”
After getting the package, he withdrew all the men in the tent, and then told them that anyone who came to pick him up would not be able to do so, and that he had fallen asleep, and then carefully unwrapped the package in front of him. Wrapped in a boxy wooden box, Liversh picked it up and shook it slightly, hearing the clatter of items hitting the wooden box. So he pulled out the saber on his waist and picked off the fire paint on the seal of the wooden box, and then dismantled the wooden box completely.
At this time, after seeing the things in the wooden box, he was bold and gasped in shock. In the wooden box was a human head, and it was a woman's head. At this moment, he stabilized his mind and held the human head with his hand to study it carefully. Then he immediately recognized that person was the maid next to Princess Yoshisei! I have met her a few times. Just when Liversh was holding a human head, he was a little confused. But under the head, there was a letter placed on the bottom of the wooden box, which was also sealed with a firearm.
Inside the letter was a piece of letter full of Chinese characters, and he took the letter and read the words on it. I saw that the above paragraph reads: "The witness has now been presented." It was a pleasure to work with you this time and we look forward to working with you again. Now that the Turks who know about you have been eliminated, you can continue to enjoy the good life, and I wish you a happy life! ”
After seeing it, he tore the letter to shreds, and then threw it all into the brazier beside him. Then he thought that the head of this maid was still in his hands, and if it was seen by others, it would inevitably lead to a troublesome incident. Although this woman's status is not high, she is the personal maid next to Princess Yicheng after all, and it is not good to say that she died so inexplicably. So he threw the wooden box into the brazier with the cloth that had wrapped it in it, and poured out some of the gold and silver jewels from one of his cloth bags containing the booty, and threw the maid's head into it, and put it aside again, and then summoned the men who were waiting outside the tent, and told them to go to the city of Lingwu to buy some camphor and sunken wood and other peculiar things to come back. After throwing all these things into the cloth bag, he felt a little relieved. At this time, after the matter that had been worrying about his heart finally came to a conclusion, the nerves that had been relaxed by Liversh were that he could not hold on any longer, and he fell directly tired on his woolen blanket and fell into a deep sleep.
"Okay, these are the last batches, the food is all loaded, let's go!" A man yelled at the man in front of him.
As the man's roar spread a long distance, a huge convoy slowly began to march away from the county town of Wuwei. As the man said, the convoy was full of food. And these grains are Li Wenyuan's thank you gift to Xue Ju to thank Xue Ju for sending troops to help him rescue Wuwei County this time. As the so-called brothers settle accounts, no matter how deep the friendship between Xue Ju and Li Wenyuan is, when it comes to official affairs at this time, both sides still default to one yard to one yard. After all, now the two of them are no longer alone, and they need to consider the distribution of interests between their partners.
After the convoy carrying grain was sent away, Li Wen reported the matter to Li Wenyuan, who was far away in Dunhuang County, in the form of a document, and replied to Li Wenyuan. Later, he devoted all his energy to the post-war reconstruction of Wuwei County, although the southern invasion of the Turks was not long, but the destructive power of these Turks was still quite breathtaking. The water conservancy infrastructure and other facilities on the land that had been strategically abandoned before were all left at this time, which made Li Wen organize manpower to rush to repair, and at the same time he was cursing in the direction of the northern Turks when he was idle.
Scolding and scolding, but the things that should be repaired are indeed indispensable, and the money that should be spent is also indispensable. But fortunately, in the current troubled times, these ordinary people still recognize grain as a hard currency more than gold, silver and jewelry. Therefore, the people who gathered together could use grain to pay their remuneration, and the loss of property of some people in the county could also be converted into grain to compensate. Compared with the war in the interior of the Central Plains, the Western Regions at this time was very stable under Li Wenyuan's rule, and for a time it became the region with the highest total grain production in China that year. After this matter was "unintentionally" spread, many poor people who could not get along in the Central Plains sold their few family possessions one after another and embarked on the road of migration to the northwest region to flee.
This time, faced with the arrival of so many refugees, the officials of the Western Regions did not have the same dazed and bewildered situation as the last time. At this time, everything was carried out in accordance with the regulations that had been established in advance, and the steady stream of refugees from all over the country was properly handled and accommodated. Xue Renyue's work as governor of Central Asia was somewhat successful, persuading the formerly nomadic herdsmen to abandon their tents and live in the newly built fortified cities. In these cities, official pastoral districts have also been set up to count the livestock raised by these herders and to keep detailed records of these livestock. At the same time, the official pastoral community also has a responsibility to test the feed that Li Wenyuan has tried to make from the incomplete memories in his mind, to test whether this kind of thing can be more effective than grazing for the animals of this era.
With the arrival of a large number of refugees, villages began to be built on the newly conquered Western Turkic lands. In the center of these villages, a corresponding county town was built. Gaochang country, Qiuzi country, Khotan country. The capital of Yanqi will become a record in the history books, and now it is replaced by the capital of these small countries in the Western Regions, and Li Wenyuan has set up a new county guard. So in the coming days, these places will be called Gaochang County, Qiuci County, Khotan County, and Yanqi County.
At this time, the rear was almost stable, and Li Wenyuan also began to launch the long-accumulated Talas garrison to attack the combined forces of Sassanid and Western Turks on the opposite side. After all, the army hoarded like this every day, and the amount of grain and grass consumed by always being in a state of readiness for war was still quite staggering. In the long run, even if Li Wenyuan was full of resources at this time, he would be dragged to the point of great damage by this battle. In addition, at this time, the weapons losses caused by the battle have been replenished, and the personnel have also been replenished and adjusted accordingly. It can be said that the Talas garrison at this time has recovered to the strongest combat effectiveness, and it will not help to delay any longer, but will bring more time for the enemy army on the opposite side to adjust.
