Chapter 99: Settle down

Four days after the two armies signed the armistice and repaired the alliance, the Xian army successively withdrew from Duyang City and went to Feicheng to repair.

At the same time, Fengyangjun received an amnesty edict from King Xian, led 500 guards, and continued to return to the fiefdom occupied by the Jin army, enjoying the glory and wealth of the second half of his life.

I didn't think that only two days later, Lu Jing, the governor of the Xian army, led 2,000 cavalry to attack and intercept, captured Fengyangjun alive, and secretly escorted back to Xianguo to wait for the fall.

At this point, the war finally came to an end.

After the Xian army withdrew to Feicheng, the Jin army sent the armistice and repaired the letter of alliance covered by the Jin king Yuxi, the Jin army withdrew from Duyang and led the army to the east of Hechi, and the Xian army sent 20,000 horses, led by Lu Jing, the governor of the capital, to garrison Duyang City in order to prepare for war.

Dingyang Marquis Zhang Jun, Zhao Xun and other "meritorious" people, from now on, the class returned to the dynasty, Bailiyan (Wei Xian) and Xiao Er removed their military status, and returned to Shanling with Zhao Xun.

After crossing the river, she passed through Xiao's hometown, and Bailiyan intended to send her back to her hometown, but when she arrived in the village, she learned that Xiao's mother and younger brother had fled to escape taxes and labor, and their whereabouts were unknown. In desperation, he had to take her to Xiandu to settle down.

On the day of the return of the army division, Zhao Xun entered the pilgrimage to see the King of Xian, because of his meritorious service in sticking to Yin Yangcheng, he was awarded the title of doctor, but he did not mention the matter of Feicheng, obviously the Marquis of Ding Yang completely erased this in the book of military merits, and Zhao Xun did not mention this matter.

On the contrary, it is the Marquis of Dingyang Zhang Junju who has made great contributions, he is already a marquis, and there is no seal outside the three dukes, and the king of Xian gave him 5,000 households and a fief to show his reward.

As for the Jin State, Han He was captured because of Chang, delayed the fighter plane and failed to annex Jiangdong in one fell swoop, humiliated the Jin King Shengming, and was blamed by the government and the opposition inside and outside the court after returning to the dynasty.

Wang Shuo was meritorious because of his expedition, and the king of Jin awarded him the doctor, retained the post of Sima envoy of the Northern Army, continued to serve as Sima of Pingtangcheng City, and issued an edict to canonize Wang Shuo's queen Rui as the prince's side concubine, and chose an auspicious day to get married.

As for Ji Chang, even though the King of Jin drowned, but the capture of his body has always been an indelible stain, the King of Jin in order to take care of his face, Xi Chang did not have any reward after returning to the court, but transferred him to the position of state political supervisor as the secretary, and made Fan Tao as the secretary of the political envoy to supervise Xi Chang.

In order to balance the internal and external dynasties, the king of Jin promoted Fan Tao as the political envoy and worshiped Chen Fangshi as the prime minister.

Chen Fangshi was over fifty years old, and the moderates in the foreign dynasties were appointed as prime ministers, which calmed down the contradictions caused by the different governance strategies of the internal and external dynasties to the greatest extent and maintained the stability of the Jin state.

In January 623, the second year after the armistice, Princess Xihuan left Pingtang City for the Xiandu Tomb. It is said that there were as many as 1,000 palace people and maids who traveled with them, and 5,000 guards escorted them, and the pomp and circumstance could be described as huge and luxurious, which also opened the most legendary history of the Central Plains.

As for Bailiyan, after Zhao Xun was appointed as a doctor and joined the Inner Dynasty as a counselor, he opened the shogunate in that year, and Bailiyan entered the shogunate and opened a medical center to diagnose people for a living.

In 624, a major turning point occurred, when Master Wu Shu was supervising the construction of warships for the Jin king, and in June 623 he allowed him to leave, and after returning to the headquarters of the Ligong faction, he was told by the head of the Ligong faction that the Jin king had not fulfilled all his promises.

When Gong Shukuo was alive, he once promised to give the workers a heavy load of gold and silver, and he would cash in coal and iron ten years after the completion of the warship.

Wu Suan returned to the headquarters of the Ligong faction and learned that the king of Jin had only cashed half of the gold and silver and other baggage, and the remaining half had no follow-up.

But this is not in good health, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether there is a treasury or not. Yes, it really doesn't matter, but because of the defeat of the Shengyuan River War with the salty state in the summer of 622, the king of Jin was angry that Wu Suan's warships were not good, so half of the promised gold and silver baggage did not intend to pay the promise.

Fan Tao once bitterly admonished the king of Jin, who should be offended in the world, and could not offend the Ligong faction, but the king of Jin ignored it and did not adopt it, and then unilaterally broke the agreement with the Ligong faction and tore up the agreement.

This behavior made the Ligong faction deeply hateful, and the master Wu Shu was implicated by this, and was demoted to other places by the Ligong faction, and was not allowed to return to the main hall for ten years. For Wu Suan, who is nearly 60 years old, ten years of exile is tantamount to his death of old age.

In the end, it was Sai Qian who took Wu Shu back to the Yuke General Hall, placed him in the headquarters, and built equipment for the Yuke, which can be regarded as a home for the elderly. And Sai Qian went out to look for Bailiyan for two years without success, and he also went to Qiguo to look for it, as if he had sunk into the sea, and there was no news.

In 625 years of Shengyuan, with the support of the Jin State, the Xianguo implemented the reform of the law "Nongsang Order", and the Jin State under the auspices of Fan Tao persuaded the Prime Minister Chen Fangshi and the foreign dynasty to absorb the experience of the failure of the Xianguo reform, summarize the essence, reform the disadvantages of the Nongsang Order, and then launch the Jin version of the Nongsang reform, so that the Jin State was rejuvenated overnight, and the whole country gradually revealed the spirit of rejuvenation of the great country.

In March of the same year, Bai Liyan was nineteen years old, the third year of the opening of the hospital, and just returned from the clinic at noon that day, Xiao came out with a basin of water and soap:

"Brother Wei, clean your hands."

"Well, let's put it here" Bai Liyan put down the medicine box, rolled up her long sleeves and washed her hands and said, "Has anyone been here in the morning?" ”

"No, it's that Dr. Zhao asked Steward Zhu to come to Brother Wei and invite Brother Wei to the council."

"Steward Zhu? Did he bring any message? ”

"It's not true, but it's in a hurry."

Steward Zhu's real name is Zhu Xia, and he is a relative of Zhao Xun's wife's mother's family. In the past three years, due to the "care" of the Jin State, the Xianguo has been relatively calm, and it is not in vain that the land ceded and the entry of Xihuan into the cabinet have been in vain, but this year there is a little more turmoil.

Due to the garrison of the Jin State, the Jin State nominally provided protection to the Qi State, but in fact the Wei State did not buy the account of the Jin State, but unfortunately the old king Zhong Sheng of the Wei State died at the age of sixty-three, and was succeeded by the eldest son Zhong Dong.

Soon after Zhong Dong succeeded to the throne, he attempted to annex the countries of the West Sea, and the Jin State raised 150,000 troops to arrive at the Qi State through the Changsun Neihe River by sea and land, and joined forces with the 30,000 Jin troops stationed in the Qi State, a total of 180,000 horses, plus nearly 200,000 weak troops in the Qi State, the total strength of the two armies was nearly 400,000.

But in this way, the main army in the north of the Jin State was almost empty, and the number of the western army was less than 250,000, and the Zhiguo had been recuperating for four years, and the treasury was becoming more and more full.

Zhao Xun is now serving as a staff envoy, in charge of military affairs, only one rank lower than Da Sima, so that Zhu Xia is in a hurry to come to the door, it is bound to negotiate the matter of the border of Zhiguo's troops.

After washing her hands, Bai Liyan went to the well to get a basin of water to wash her face, and then changed her clothes and prepared to go out:

"Xiao'er, after I leave, hang out the wooden sign for the break, you also rest early, don't tire yourself."

"Got it, Brother Wei, you should come back early, I'll wait for you."

Xiao's cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were full of joy and expectation.

Over the years, Bailiyan has also taken the time to teach her to read, read, and identify medicinal materials, and occasionally teach her some medical theory and anatomy.

In a few years, Bai Liyan plans to officially marry her, although she hasn't said it yet, but they have lived together for three years, and they have already tacitly understood each other.

When I rode to Zhao's mansion, there was a carriage parked outside the mansion, but it was not the carriage of the official eunuch doctor.

"Zhao Xun is also in business? I haven't heard of it. ”

Bai Liyan was wondering, and the door door came up:

"It's Mr. Wei, the general has been waiting for a long time, please come in."

The door was very enthusiastic, and when he came up, he took the reins of the horse. Baili Yan bowed slightly and asked:

"Dare to ask which merchant in the city is this?"

"Oh, this is Ding Caidong's carriage, and I came to see the general."

This Ding Caidong was Ding Su, the quartermaster under Zhao Xun that year, and after Zhao Xun entered the court, Ding Su was acquitted and received a compensation.

Dan Ding Su is greedy for life and afraid of death, and if he continues to stay in the army, he will probably make a mistake or even be killed. Under Zhao Xun's arrangement, Ding Su traveled back and forth between the Jin Kingdom, the Zhi Kingdom, and the Xian Kingdom as a businessman, and engaged in espionage activities in the name of business.

It's just that I haven't seen Ding Su for almost a year, and I thought he was arrested, but I didn't think that I would get into the carriage when I came back this time, and it seems that I made a windfall.

The most distinctive feature of the merchant's carriage is that the bronze collar is hung on the side of the chariot, which is the main geometric shape of the precious metal currency of the world. The collar shape resembles a waist, the two ends are wide and narrow in the middle, and they are flattened. There are also countries that use turtle coins, which are shaped like turtle shells, and are divided into money and money according to their size.

The horses were handed over to the door, and the Baili Yanjing entered the Zhao Mansion.

The Zhao Mansion is larger, but there are no pavilions and pavilions, and the houses are quite regular. After Zhao Xun opened the shogunate, he recruited three customers before and after, Bailiyan and Ding Su were also counted as one of them, and the other was surnamed Gao Mingxun, but only Bailiyan had his own store to make a living, and he never received the food of Zhao's mansion, and he lived a comfortable life.

Doormen worship under the Lord's door, usually only the most basic food treatment, no salary. Most of the customers who defect to the host are hoping to stand out from the crowd and be appreciated by the host and recommended to enter the career.

Therefore, the source of customers is also uneven, miscellaneous, and even hundreds or thousands of customers, but there are very few who can use them.

I think that Sun Yue, the prince of Xiangguo, was not a guest in the prince's mansion, that is, today's King Xian, and was recommended by the prince to enter the state political prison, and after the prince ascended the throne, he was promoted to Xiangguo.

There are many examples of such an overnight success, and as long as such exceptions occur, the effect will be like a magnet, attracting all kinds of "talents".
