"Slave ... The slave and the maid are convicted... At the beginning, when Xiao Xuan made this kind of statement, many people in charge of the imperial village actually thought that Xiao Xuan was "talking back", and they were very nervous for a while. Knowing that Xiao Xuan didn't make any stern statements after that, but kept comforting everyone, those people were a little convinced that the Son of Heaven, who had learned a lot of things, had no intention of asking for the shortcomings in the Imperial Village. The eunuchs in charge of the village and many of the village leaders who came with them finally left Xiao Xuan's camp with Xiao Xuan's will in a thousand thanks.

Xiao Xuan didn't plan to just let his mouth go about it, but followed up with a few young officers and soldiers who were born as orphans to supervise the people in the Huangzhuang and immediately gathered vehicles, people and animals to prepare to transport grain to the capital.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Xuan had no intention of concealing his identity, and sent the many grain borrowing orders that had been prepared along the way to the Huangzhuang in Beizhili, and also sent some teenagers who were personally responsible for supervision. Xiao Xuan recalled many victories since his uprising, and acting quickly and decisively, as well as taking advantage of the opposition's lack of preparation and mobilization of forces, was an important factor. Therefore, this time, Xiao Xuan also tried to be quick when he went out to investigate and borrow food. The posture of the threat and the attitude of not touching the interests of the Huangzhuang everywhere are also clear.

Before these teenagers set off, Xiao Xuan also encouraged: "Don't be afraid, these people are different from people who have the endorsement of civil ministers and military generals or clans, if these people want to use bad means or tough confrontation, I still have a way to deal with them." And don't be afraid of what they will charge you or threaten them with. Whatever you do, I am confident that you will be loyal to me for at least a few months. Tell those people that if they delay for more than three to five days, it's fine. If, according to the difference in distance, it is less than half a month, and the grain has not been transported to the granary prepared by the horse prison camp these days, then Hugh blames me for directly raising the teacher to ask for the guilt... ”

"Holy rest assured! We must live up to our mission! More than 20 selected teenagers also replied with some emotion at this time.

After the local officials who came to Baoding Mansion later got the relevant news, they also expressed their mobilization of rich businessmen from all over the prefecture to recognize the "imperial loan" of 30,000 taels of silver, and Xiao Xuan knew that a city like Baoding Mansion, even if it could not be compared with the capital, it was impossible for the hard currency in the floating wealth to be only so little, but there was no intention of forcibly apportioning and increasing the number. It's just that Xiao Xuan more or less hinted that whoever could "send charcoal in the snow" during the critical period of raising the army and training troops at the beginning of the Son of Heaven's ascension to the throne would definitely give a "worthwhile" return in the future.

The local officials of Gaoyang County, which was not too far from the temporary camp led by Xiao Xuan, and Sun Chengzong, an important minister of the central government who was temporarily idle, also hurried overnight after receiving the news, and came to the outside of the temporary camp early the next morning, and met them in the cold wind.

Sun Chengzong's impression of Xiao Xuan is not bad, and he has the impression that since Sun Chengzong was in charge of the defense of Liaodong in the middle and late stages of the Apocalypse and rebuilt more than 100,000 troops, these armies have not encountered large-scale annihilation battles like Liaoyang, Da Linghe, and Salhu. It wasn't until the Battle of Songjin that he was defeated again. Of course, in the face of the superiority of the Manchurian army's combat effectiveness, there were many small defeats and defeats. However, Xiao Xuan didn't care, it was inevitable that the entire social environment and combat effectiveness were different.

Because Sun Chengzong's reputation in history is much better than that of Wang Zaijin, and Xiao Xuan does not intend to let Yuan Chonghuan be in charge of the entire Liaodong affairs, whether to continue to retain Wang Zaijin or reactivate Sun Chengzong is also something that makes Xiao Xuan hesitate. The reason is nothing else, after Xiao Xuan has a little understanding of the government affairs of the court in the past two months, he does not very much agree with the views of many people, including Sun Chengzong, who insist on the defense of Ningyuan Jinzhou, and is more inclined to Wang's view of repairing Bali City in Jin.

"Elder Sun Ge has been wronged in the past few months. Now that the eunuch party has been eliminated and continues to retain the king in Liaodong, many people in the Jin Dynasty are opposed. I have just ascended the throne, and I don't know much about the things after the border pass, and I am far less than Sun Ge Lao in this regard, and I still have a lot of things I want to ask... Xiao Xuan adhered to the habit of going straight in front of trustworthy people, but getting straight to the point to this extent also made Sun Chengzong a little stunned, especially when a monarch is commensurate with such a title, it is a rare courtesy. Then he replied with some emotion: "Your Majesty's holy grace, the minister really can't repay it... ”

"Hehe, please get up, Elder Sun Ge and I will go first! Don't say anything about holy grace or not holy grace, I haven't reinstated the old official of Sun Pavilion yet, but I'm afraid that many people in Gaoyang County, including you, will be ruined... ”

"Holy ... What is this being said... At this time, although Sun Chengzong's psychological maturity was not when he was young, he was still full of excitement when he thought that he had the opportunity to regain and be reused. Especially since I lived in the countryside these days, I have rethought a lot of things, and although I am not fully prepared for such a summons, I still have some foundation.

After taking a seat in the temporary military tent, Xiao Xuan continued to ask straight to the point: "Then I can ask if I have something to say." I heard that Sun Ge often had private conversations with veterans and officers at the border gates very early on. ”

Such words also made Sun Chengzong a little nervous, but then Xiao Xuan's words still made Sun Chengzong's heart relax a little: "In Sun Ge Lao's opinion, I don't choose the elite but the whole." The head of a battalion of the middle level of our army's Liaodong battalions does not rely on trenches to fight with the Houjin field, but how many people can be dressed in armor at the ordinary level of the Houjin army? ”

These words made Sun Chengzong stunned, Houjin? Doesn't this recognize the legitimacy of Jiannu's self-appointed Dajin? However, he still said seriously: "As far as China and Malaysia are concerned, if they fight with the waves of the Donglu wilderness, there is no city to rely on, just like the battle of Salhu in the hinterland. One battalion of 2,000 soldiers and four or five thousand actual battalions of our army cannot defeat one Niu Lu 300 people and more than 100 people in armor, if we encounter two Niu Lu 600 people and 200 people in armor, we will be worried about defeat, if we meet three Niu Lu 300 people in armor and 900 prisoners, then our army can only retreat in its entirety at best, and the probability of defeat is extremely great. Therefore, more than 100,000 people in the 27th Battalion of Liaodong held the middle of the situation at the limit, and the field wave battle could only be used as about 15,000 banners and 5,000 armor. That's why in Liaodong, Mongolia in the east, Mongolia in the east, Korea in the east, and our army in the west also seem to be at ease... However, relying on the artillery to fortify the city, tens of thousands of Dongyu this year cannot shake more than 10,000 of our army... ”
