After the war, the land of Hexi returned to calm, Nanliang had the help of Western Qin to have a chance to breathe, and Tuyuhun took advantage of the bald Xianbei to fight with the Huns, and occupied almost the entire Xiping.

At this moment, when the two armies were truce, the bald Xianbei finally had the opportunity to return to Xiping, and those tribes who took the opportunity to join Tuyuhun to raise troops, several were exterminated by the bald Fanni, and Tuyuhun escaped from Xiping after being killed after several battles with the bald Fanni.

Half a month later, Li Yan and Linghu Mingyue got married, which coincided with the great victory of the Xiliang army, and Li Wei rewarded Li Yan with a mansion.

Jiuquan City is full of joy, the eldest grandson of King Liang, Pingbei General Li Yan's wedding, for a while, the people of the whole city are talking about it, Linghu family is a big family in Hexi, this time Li Yan and Linghu Mingyue are married, Xiliang is known up and down.

For half a year, Li Yan has been accompanying Yue'er in Jiuquan City, and it seems that he has forgotten the Zhenbei Army, when he got married, Lei Ming had returned to Jiuquan City once, and since then, the news of the Zhenbei Army has been learned from the Blood Wolf Guard.

Winter has turned to spring, and Jiuquan City has been covered with ice and snow everywhere in the past few months, and now the ice and snow have begun to melt. The old trees in the courtyard had already sprouted, and Li Yan was dressed in a brocade robe and sat in the pavilion.

"Childe, General Lei Ming's letter, take a look." Han Qian respectfully handed over the letter in his hand to Li Yan.

"Oh? How is it so early this month. What's the matter? ”

Li Yan took the letter and looked at it carefully, his face became a little solemn, what Lei Ming said in the letter was really surprising.

"Childe, what's wrong?" Han Qian saw Li Yan's brows tightened, and asked in a low voice.

"Hulu Khan was raided by the Wei army a few days ago and was defeated, the Wei army crossed the Yin Mountain and smashed Mobei, Hulu Khan suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers, horses, cattle and sheep were plundered countless times, General Lei Ming wrote that the Wei army scouts have begun to appear on the border recently, once the Wei army comes to attack, the situation is not good." Li Yan handed the letter in his hand to Han Qian and exhaled deeply.

"It's unbelievable that this Hulu Khan claimed to have no less than 200,000 men with armor, but he was killed by only 100,000 Wei troops and fled."

"Huh. Not all of the Rouran tribes were willing to be loyal to Hulu Khan, and many of the tribal leaders were the masters who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and in fact, the Hulu Khan could mobilize less than 100,000 soldiers and horses. In the face of the surprise attack of the famous general of the Wei State, Changsun Song, it is really difficult to win. Li Yan clapped his hands, got up and said.

Han Qian followed behind Li Yan, his face full of worry, and asked, "Childe, what should this Wei army do if they take the opportunity to attack my Da Liang?" Do I need to report to King Liang? ”

"It shouldn't be enough, but for the sake of prudence, you immediately send someone to tell General Lei Ming, so that he must closely monitor the movements of the Wei army, and after the beginning of spring, my mother's health will be a little better, and I will return to the West Sea."

"Yes. Son! I'll do it right away. Han Qian bowed to Li Yan and turned around to walk out.

"Wait!"

"What else does Childe command?"

"How's that going?" Li Yan leaned over to Han Qian's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Back to Gongzi, Brother Shi has been arranged, and now there are our people from Gaochang in the west to Chang'an in the east, and it has been thanks to Brother Shi for half a year."

"Good. This matter should not be publicized, hands and feet must be clean, and do not leave tails. Insufficient manpower is selected from the Zhenbei army, but it must be loyal. Li Yan nodded and admonished.

"Don't worry, Childe, Han Qian understands."

"Hmm. Let the stone be cautious, we have no foundation in Chang'an City, everything has to rely on him, and there is no need to be stingy in terms of money. ”

"Yes. Childe, last night His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a secret meeting with Lord Yin and a few people in Suofu late at night, our people were too far away to hear what they were saying, whether they needed it~" Han Qian glanced around and said cautiously.

"No, don't startle the snakes, lest they notice. You go first, tell General Lei Ming, and ask him to send more sentry agents to find out the news of the Wei army. Li Yan waved his hand and walked towards the house.

Li Yan returned to the house, Linghu Mingyue had just served his mother Linghu to drink the decoction, and walked towards him with a fox fur coat in his hand.

"Yue'er, thank you for your hard work."

"Husband, it's still cold outside, beware of your body catching a cold, come, put it on." Linghu Mingyue saw that Li Yan was only wearing a thin brocade robe, and said with a reproachful face.

"Yue'er, I'm fine. After a while, I will go back to Xihai, and everything at home will be entrusted to you. Li Yan hugged Yue'er into his arms, stroked Linghu Mingyue's hair and whispered.

"Husband, are you leaving so soon?" Linghu Mingyue hugged Li Yan tightly and said reluctantly.

"News from the West Sea, the Wei army has been defeated, and it may attack the west at any time, and when the weather warms up next month, I will go back, and you can tell your subordinates to do the trivial things at home." Li Yan patted Linghu Mingyue's fragrant shoulder and comforted.

In the Liangwang Mansion, Li Wei was discussing with Song Xuan in the study, and Li Wei's laughter was heard from time to time in the study, and the people in the house also felt very strange, but they didn't dare to stay and hurriedly walk by.

"Okay. In this way, this year's grain and grass in my Daliang can at least add hundreds of thousands of stones, which is really gratifying. Li Wei stroked his long beard and nodded.

"Brother, rest assured, this matter has been ordered by Lord Suo, and all county governments and county officials must ensure that more than 30% of Zhangye and Linsong counties will be restored this spring, otherwise they will be severely punished. In the past six months, the number of displaced people in Hexi has increased unabated, and the number of households in Zhangye County alone has increased by more than 2,000. ”

Li Wei had a smile on his face, and then got up and said, "Hmm." This matter will be left to you to do, and there must be no mistakes, and now there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in the Xijun camp, and the recruitment of soldiers is also urgent, and I hope that the second brother will pay more attention. ”

"Yes. There is another thing that needs to be asked by my brother, whether the five thousand war horses that Yan'er sent back from Xihai a month ago can be handed over to Hexi Ranch, and now at the beginning of spring, Hexi Ranch is no less than Xihai Ranch, and it will be able to provide me with a steady stream of war horses in the future. Song Miao hesitated, got up and saluted Li Wei and said.

"Good. According to what the second brother said, although the war has not yet started, it should also be prepared for a rainy day, and it is really worrying that there are powerful Xia and Wei countries in the east. ”

"Brother, don't worry, with General Zhang guarding Xijun, you can be safe. I heard that the Qin State has recently mobilized 100,000 soldiers and horses from Luoyang, and the Xia State may not have time to take care of my Daliang at this moment. Song Miao said in a low voice.

"Alas. If I can have three and five years, even if I am at war with the Xia Kingdom, I will have the strength to fight, and now that I have experienced a war in Da Liang, it is really not appropriate to start a war again. ”

Li Wei and Song Miao talked in the study until it was dark before they came out, and when they left the Liangwang Mansion, Song Miao got into the carriage and returned to the Song Mansion.

"Master, Mr. Li Yan is here." A subordinate at the gate of the mansion said.
