Chapter 318 Low-key life

successfully recovered Wuyuan County, and both LĂź Bu and Xiongnu Shan Yu obtained satisfactory benefits; Only the leader was dissatisfied, but fortunately, there were Qiang people and Huns who had plundered from Beidi County to replenish his lost population, and a large number of cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock that had been plundered to supplement the huge losses that had been looted by Gao Shun and others.

Gao Shun returned the family members of the 10,000 cavalry of the Helian tribe to the leader, but only a small half of the population was returned, and the slaves and women were basically all left, and most of the people who could be put back were the old, weak, sick and disabled.

After this war, the strength of the Xianbei people was seriously weakened, and they could no longer pose any threat to Gaoshun.

Subsequently, Gao Shun appointed Xue Yin as the Taishou of Yunzhong County; Wen Chou is the Taishou of Wuyuan County and is stationed in Jiuyuan County; Wang Zhi, the former Taishou of Wuyuan County, was appointed as the head of Wen Chou to assist Wen Chou in handling government affairs.

treats Wang Zhi in this way, first, to make good friends with the eunuch forces; Second, it was made for other local officials to see, so that it could reduce resistance in a future civil war.

Xue Yin was the governor of Yunzhong County ten years ago, his qualifications were old enough, and he had followed Gao Shun for a long time, so everyone had no opinion on this appointment.

Xu Lin was transferred to Tian Feng's subordinate and served as the Sima of other departments, leading 5,000 cavalry; Zhang Fei and Yan Liang were still Sima of other departments, and the cavalry under their jurisdiction increased to 5,000, the same as Xu Lin, and the salary was also increased by 200 stones; The cavalry under Li Su's command increased to 4,000.

Wuyuan County and Yunzhong County no longer have a captain, and all affairs are undertaken by Taishou alone, which is convenient for dealing with emergencies; Each county left 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry.

Five thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry were selected from the nearly 20,000 freed slaves, and the rest were married to Xianbei women and placed in the counties of Wuyuan County for cultivation and grazing.

Gao Shun made another adjustment, Wuyuan County and Yunzhong County only governed the territory north of the Yellow River; Manbo County and Wudu County, which were under the jurisdiction of the former Wuyuan County south of the Yellow River, and Shanan County, which was under the jurisdiction of Yunzhong County, were placed under the jurisdiction of Guan Yu, and Guan Yu's station was adjusted to Shanan County.

At the end of October, Gao Shun received a decree from His Majesty, allowing him to postpone the recovery of Shuofang County, and canonized Wen Chou and others as the Marquis of Guannei.

Gao Shun was secretly happy in his heart, this was very much in line with his needs, he only needed to delay it for two years, and he would be able to survive until Liu Hong's death, when the world was already in turmoil, and there was no need to act for the imperial court anymore.

The one who came to pass the message was still Xiao Huangmen Zuo Feng, they were all old acquaintances, Zuo Feng had already figured out Gao Shun's temper, as long as he provided information that he was interested in, he would definitely spare money.

So, Zuo Feng first narrated the things that Zhang Rang explained to Gao Shun, and postponed the recovery of Shuofang County, it was Zhang Rang who pleaded with His Majesty, and His Majesty allowed Gao Shun to recuperate and postpone the recovery; Yan Liang, Wen Chou and the other six and Guan Yu's Marquis title in Guannei were also obtained by Zhang Rang from His Majesty.

This move was Zhang Rang's hint to Gao Shun of his merits and hoped to receive a noble gift again; Gao Shun understood what he meant, and promised at the reception banquet that Zhang Hou must be satisfied.

Then, Zuo Feng told the emperor about the rebuilding of the Southern Army again, which was specially instructed by Zhang Rang, and it must be conveyed in place. Zhang Rang and other eunuchs have regarded Gao Shun as their powerful foreign aid, and in the matter of forming the Southern Army, they must introduce Gao Shun's people to strengthen their control over the Southern Army.

The emperor intended to let the generals He Jin, Guangnian Hou Zhou Fei, Guangping Hou Fang Liang, Dong Zhuo and Gao Shun, as well as the Yuan family, the Cao family and other big families provide men and horses to form the southern army, so that he could save a lot of money and food.

Eight armies were formed, each with about 3,000 men; As for the officers, it will be decided at that time, but Zuo Feng instructed Gao Shun to be sure to send a super strong general.

Gao Shun should respond first, and prepare to find a way to deal with it afterwards.

Subsequently, Zuo Feng told Gao Shun about the situation in the major families and the palace in Chang, and even did not let go of the matter about Princess Wannian and the princes Liu Wei and Liu Xie; He also emphasized the contradictions between General He Jin and eunuchs such as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, as well as His Majesty's thoughts.

There is not much deviation from history, Gao Shun is relieved, but he doesn't know if Dong Zhuo is as ambitious as in history.

Zuo Feng was reluctant to go to Ningcheng to pass the decree, but handed over the holy decree to Gao Shun, and returned to the capital with gifts.

This time, Gao Shun did not continue to give them gold, but gave Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and His Majesty the Emperor six sets of glass cups and six catties of tea, and Zuo Feng three sets of glass cups and three catties of tea; Giving this kind of gift not only saves a lot of money, but also achieves their joy.

Gao Shun specially taught Zuo Feng how to make tea and how to appreciate tea, Zuo Feng was overjoyed, this was a good opportunity to befriend Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and even demonstrated it to His Majesty, if he was appreciated by His Majesty, he would make a lot of money; Therefore, Zuo Feng is particularly serious and careful in learning, and he must be proficient in the essentials.

Gao Shun sent people to send the canonization documents and seals of Wen Chou and others; Everyone is overjoyed, if they don't meet Gao Shun, let alone lead the troops and lead the generals, gallop the field, and there will be no marquis, their glory today is all given by Gao Shun, and they don't owe the emperor's kindness.

In the following time, Gao Shun hid in Taoyuan Fort and lived a low-key life.

His son Gao Rui is over one year old, lively and cute, and he is liked.

Li Qiang's wife Zhang Ning is pregnant again, which makes Gao's mother very envious, hoping that her daughter-in-law Xu Ting can get pregnant again, and Gao Shun also stepped up her cultivation, hoping to have more children and grandchildren.

Now Gao Shun, in the morning, usually mingles with the craftsmen, studying the drawings such as the waterwheel presented by the system, and develops tools such as repeating crossbows, city defense crossbows, and catapults with them, and by the way, the abacus is also made.

What makes him even happier is that papermaking and printing have been mass-produced by craftsmen for so long, and the cost is very low, Gao Shun regarded this as a weapon to fight the scholars, which can greatly reduce the cost of learning for the poor and ordinary people, and cut off the monopoly of the scholars on culture.

But now he wants to keep a low profile, and he doesn't want to pass on these technological achievements, otherwise he will be resisted more fiercely by the nobles; Even the abacus is only used in Taoyuan Fort, and he doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others.

In the afternoon, Gao Shun had to deal with official documents sent from all over the country.

At night, he would usually sit in the study, quietly thinking about the future, and recalling the major events that happened during this period of history, as well as the origins of important people, etc., he fought to recover or kidnap those famous Wenchen generals at the end of next year, or the beginning of the next year, if they could not serve him, they must not be allowed to serve other forces, increasing the difficulty of his unification of the Central Plains.

People like Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others are the people who Gao Shun has the deepest memory and values the most, if they can't recover it, they can't let them live in this world and never suffer in the future.

As for the Sima family, it will not attract Gao Shun's attention at present, and their forbearance will not work on Gao Shun.

In November, Fang Liang sent a letter, Zhuge Jue of Taishan County passed away, Zhuge Xuan continued to serve as the county governor of Langya County, so as to take care of the Zhuge family, and Zhang Kang took over Zhuge as the county governor of Taishan County.

Gao Shun was very satisfied with this, and the Zhuge brothers were already his dishes.

Now that he has an eldest son, who is smart, healthy and cute, and will not worry about the infighting of his descendants for the throne in the future, he has plans to take a concubine.

Mi Zhen is already his appointed concubine, and other famous girls are either too young to act, or they are far away from the control area.

Gao Shun decided that Big and Little Qiao would definitely be in the bag, so he sent people south to find Qiao Xuan's address, hoping that in the spring of the next year, regardless of their age, they would first snatch their whole family to Taoyuan Fort.

As for Cai Yan, he is still young, and his father Cai Yong teaches at Alexandra University, which is already in his pocket.

Diao Chan, I don't know if there is really such a person, if there is, it must be asked for from Wang Yun at that time; Now Wang Yun has a huge contradiction with the eunuch Zhang Rang and others, and he no longer knows where to take refuge, and he will not show up until Zhang Rang and others are removed.

Low-key life, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the spring of the fifth year of Zhongping (188).
