On the Jinyang side, after Shi Hu defeated Tuoba Xianbei, he immediately sent Xiangguo to offer victory, and at the same time reported to Shi Le, saying that I planned to take the initiative to go south and attack Pingyang. Shi Le consulted with Zhang Bin, Zhang Jing, Cheng Yao, Xuan An and others, and determined the strategy for this autumn, that is, to order Shi Hu to strike first and contain the Jin army in Guanzhong - it is best to break through the mountains and go straight to Pingyang or even Hedong - Hebei will send troops to suppress Shao Xu, and open the battle line from east to west, so that the Jin people will be thousands of miles away from the end of the road, and it will be difficult to deal with each other.

However, the strategic deployment should not be leaked in the slightest, so Shi Le did not issue an edict in a grand manner, but only dictated by him, ordered Cheng Yao to write a long letter to Shi Hu. In addition to announcing the established policy and encouraging them, the letter also repeatedly explained that the Hebei government treasury was empty and the grain was insufficient, so I could not send reinforcements to the prefecture before the autumn harvest......

Cheng Ziyuan once suggested that the tax rate this autumn should be increased by three to fifty percent, so that the food crisis could be alleviated - anyway, even if it was increased to eighty percent, it would be lower than the original Jin family's tax rate. However, this proposal was strongly opposed by Xun Sui, Pei Xian and other officials of the late Jin Dynasty, saying that since the tax amount has been promulgated, how can it be changed casually? This will inevitably damage the prestige and credibility of the Heavenly King and the Imperial Court!

Besides, after the war, the Hebei region is a little more stable, if the country has set the world, it should be exempted from taxes for a few years, so as to facilitate the accumulation of the people; Although it is inevitable now, you can't just add to it, right? Once this opening is opened, there will be endless harm in the future!

In the end, Schler had no choice but to reject Cheng Yao's suggestion. But then Cheng Ziyuan secretly met with Shi Le, and on the grounds that the old bucket was not unified and it was not convenient for the government to collect tribute, he asked for a new standard measuring instrument - according to the largest one in the past - Shi Le agreed.

Therefore, Shi Le said in his letter to Shi Hu that as soon as the autumn grain is harvested, I can order Kong Chang to mobilize some Youzhou soldiers and horses to go south to help defend Xiangguo, and don't send a group of troops over Taihang to join the party to reinforce Zhiqu Liu, then Zhiqu Liu can free up his hands to go west. I only hope that by that time, you have broken through into Pingyang County, and the two armies will merge and you can go down to Hedong together.

After the letter was sealed, it was handed over to the Pingyi general Chen Chuan, and he was ordered to lead his headquarters to Jinyang to help Shi Hu.

Because Chen Chuan is a native of Bingzhou, when he was young, he and his nephew Chen Wu joined Sima Teng, the assassin of Bingzhou at that time, as a military general. Later, because of the famine, Sima Teng personally led 20,000 officials to leave Jizhou and eat Jizhou, gradually forming a refugee group called "begging". Arrest Sima Teng in Yecheng for Ji Sang, Li Feng killed, his troops scattered, "begging" is scattered in Si, Hebei, and, Yan and other prefectures, among which Chen Wu's department is the strongest, at its peak claimed to have 100,000 people.

- Of course, it is estimated that there are only a few thousand soldiers, and most of the others are the families of soldiers and the homeless people who are carried from all over the place.

Chen Chuan had murdered Pei Gai's brother Pei Song in Pengguan, so when Pei and Zu joined forces on the Northern Expedition, they were afraid of reprisals - not only Pei Cai wanted to kill him, but also the general Li Tou was also killed by him, and his subordinate Feng Chong went to Zu Ti, and often cried to Zu Ti, hoping for revenge - so he finally murdered Chen Wu, and hijacked Chen Wu's son Chen Chite, and led his troops to rob Pei's army of grain and grass.

However, Pei was very well guarded in the grain route, and Chen Chuan was unable to grab much grain, which led to internal divisions and fires, and finally Chen Chite was killed, and he was forced to lead more than ten people to flee north in disarray and cross the Yellow River. After crossing the river, it is the boundary of Ji County, when Shi Le seized Hebei, he first took Ji County, and Chen Chuan simply put himself under Shi Le.

Although this person is despicable and shameless, after all, he is a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for more than ten years, although he was excluded in Shi Zhao's army, he was finally awarded the post of general because of his merits - but unfortunately it is just a miscellaneous name, and if there is no opportunity for Shi Le to be the emperor and a general, it is estimated that he will not even be able to get this position. Chen Chuan took Cheng Yao's path this time and offered a lot of gold beads to make Shi Le think of him, so he took the opportunity to send a letter and assigned him to Shi Hu's command.

After Chen Chuan received the order, he first went to the Taiyuan Palace, and asked someone to inform the princess Guo, saying that I was ordered to go to Jinyang to help the Taiwei, I don't know if my wife has a letter for me to send? Guo Shi was very polite, and asked the servant to pass the order, saying General Chen, please wait at the door for a while, and wait for me to write a letter to my husband—there is no mat, and there is no parasol, so let Chen Chuan poke it under the sun with his hands behind his back.

Although Chen Chuan felt depressed, he had to wait patiently - if it weren't for the sake of meeting Shi Hu, he wouldn't have come today, so since he came, how dare he not bow his head? Fortunately, the time was not long, and an old servant came out of the door and slammed towards Chen Chuan.

The other party gave a heavy salute, and Chen Chuan couldn't help but be taken aback - the slave of the Taiwei could be so polite to himself? Is the sun coming out in the west? Hurriedly returned the salute and asked, "But has the princess's letter been completed?" The old servant shook his head, approached, and said in a low voice, "I am not sent by the princess, but Mrs. Zheng is also ......."

Although Shi Hu is not very old, there are a large number of wives and concubines, thinking that when Shi Le married Guo Rong's sister for him, in fact, the young man had been running meat for several years, and there were quite a few women in the house, all of whom were looted everywhere. It's just that these women are from relatively low backgrounds, so he has always wanted to choose one of them to be the main room, but Shi Le has always refused to agree.

In the end, it was determined that Guo's daughter was the main room, Shi Le was called the emperor, and Shihu was crowned the king of Taiyuan, and Mrs. Guo naturally became the princess of Taiyuan. However, this princess is not favored - mainly because of her mediocre appearance - and even Shi Hu rarely sleeps with her, so she has never been seen.

Not only Princess Guo, but Shi Hu has a lot of women around him, and so far he has only given birth to a daughter. The main reason is not that Shi Hu is incompetent, or busy with military affairs, and the women in the backyard are just decorations, but in this fang is extremely fond of the new and dislikes the old, very few women can stay by his side for a month, and the end is either tired of giving it to his subordinates, or because he made a small mistake, or just because Shi Hu was in a bad mood, he picked a mistake and was beaten to death.

While killing and robbing, there is always no shortage of concubines in his house, but no one knows the exact number - it is estimated that he has not calculated it himself.

So today, an old servant came out of the door and saluted Chen Chuan, saying, "My lord is Mrs. Zheng", Chen Chuan must ask clearly: "The so-called Mrs. Zheng is the concubine of the Taiwei?" The old servant nodded and said yes, and then said in a low voice: "Soon after Mrs. Zheng first entered the palace, she was deeply loved by the king, but it is a pity that the king went to guard and annex the state, leaving her to live in a dry house, and was hated and abused by the princess. Now, if the general can help Mrs. Zheng out of the palace and escort her to Jinyang, the general Wang Bide, Mrs. Zheng, should also speak well for the general in front of the king. ”

As he spoke, he took out a small package from his sleeve and stuffed it into Chen Chuan's arms.

Chen Chuan looted it, he was experienced, and when he reached out and pinched it, he knew that it must be some jewelry, head and face, and the weight of the weight, which seemed to be not light. The things in the palace should be all good things, if what I expected is not bad, this is only higher than the value of my bribe Cheng Servant...... That's a good deal!

The key is that Chen Chuan is not afraid of offending Princess Guo - she is not favored anyway, and everyone in Xiangguo knows it - but he hopes that by escorting this Mrs. Zheng, after successfully arriving in Bingzhou, she can be appreciated by Shi Hu. So he immediately accepted it.

After the old servant returned to the house, not long after, another servant came out with his head held high and his chest straight, holding Princess Guo's letter in his hand, and openly asked Chen Chuan for a bribe. Chen Chuan didn't dare not give it, and offered a string of "auspicious money" that had been prepared long ago - Shi Le didn't make money after the founding of the country, and still used the old money of Wei and Jin, of course, including the "auspicious money" cast by Pei Cai, and the "auspicious money" became the best choice for gifts and bribes because of its superior quality and good lip gloss - in exchange for the letter.

However, he was not in a hurry to leave, and stayed in Xiangguo City until the evening, and then received a van car from the corner gate of Taiyuan Palace, and then escorted the van, and called the west gate with the talisman granted by Cheng Yao, and went all the way to Bingzhou.

Chen Chuan's headquarters did not have many soldiers and horses, and there were only about 300 people, most of whom were old and weak in the "begging" in Jizhou, and other departments were unwilling to ask for them, so they were all forced into him. With such an "army", it was not possible to go fast, but it would not make the nobles in the van suffer too much from the journey.

From Xiangguo to Taiyuan, the straight-line distance is not far, less than 500 miles, but there are Taihang Mountains to block, the road is tortuous and difficult, and there are thousands of miles away. Fortunately, Shi Le instructed Chen Chuan that as long as he could reach Jinyang within a month, he would not miss the deadline.

Because Shi Le knew his nephew's temper and made up his mind, he couldn't turn back easily. Since Shi Hu had attacked Pingyang, if Zhao Ting objected, he should have sent fast horses to intercept him; And since Zhao Ting agreed, there was no need to give an order in a hurry, Shi Hu would definitely not wait for approval and delay the fighter.

Moreover, it is estimated that Shi Hu will not only break the Xianbei army, but also need to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and will not rush south to attack Jin in a month or two.

Fortunately, there are only more than 300 people under Chen Chuan's command, which is convenient for management, if there are thousands of soldiers of this quality, I am afraid that he will not be able to walk more than 20 miles a day, and it will be impossible for him to arrive in Jinyang on time - what is the marching speed of "begging" to help the old and the young back then, Chen Chuan couldn't be clearer.

So he protected the van and rushed to Jinyang, on the way, the people in the car naturally could not be stuffy all the time, and they also needed to come out from time to time to breathe, evacuate and evacuate their legs and feet, and at night, they had to camp and sleep. Chen Chuan knows the rules very well, but whenever he stops or rests in the village, he must scatter the soldiers far away, dozens of steps apart, guarding the van, and let the servants with the car hand over to him.

But he himself still got the opportunity to glance at the noble man who came out of the car from a distance. Although it was only a glimpse from afar, Chen Chuan felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, and his head shook and dizzy - I was going to die! There is such a beauty in the world, is it impossible for the immortals to descend to the earth?!

For a moment, Chen Chuan actually had a bad heart, and wanted to pounce on and violate that beauty - if he can get a kiss to Fang Ze, even if he dies immediately, it is worth it! And if I kidnap this beauty and find a deep mountain and old forest to live in seclusion until death, I don't believe that Shi Hu can still find me!
