Chapter 103: Intended for Hebei

The west end of the exit leads to Taiyuan County in the east of the river, but the east end is the Hengshan County of Hebei, and the Jingcheng Pass between the two counties is relatively close to the Hengshan County, so it has always been under the jurisdiction of the Hengshan County.

Due to the large number of people in the past, Jingcheng Pass also showed a deformed prosperity scene, and the business of several restaurants in the pass was also very hot.

Fu Ying walked upstairs quickly at this time, came to Li Yin and sat down, "Lord Lang Jiang, that person is here." ”

Li Yin came all the way to this Jingcheng Pass, of course, not to drink and see the scenery, he wanted to take this very strategic pass.

After coming to Xiurong County from Loufan County, resettled some of the displaced people, and then stuffed the remaining people in Yu County, Li Yin used the iron ore mined in the past few months to create a large number of farm tools and distributed them to the displaced people for free, Li Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the affairs of the displaced people were finally done.

However, not many days later, a large number of displaced people came to Yanmen County, and what Li Yin had done for the displaced people in Yanmen County quickly spread, so displaced people from other places also rushed to Yanmen County.

This can make it difficult for Li Yin, if he doesn't accept these homeless people, he is inevitably unkind, and he can't bear it, accept it, and he really can't find a place to settle them.

The three counties bordering Yanmen County are Mayi County, Loufan County, Taiyuan County, the land of Mayi County is very barren, basically except for the grassland is the desert Gobi, can not feed many people, Loufan County has more remaining arable land is Xiurong County, has been almost settled.

As for Taiyuan County, there is a lot of cultivated land, which is among the best in Hedong, and most of them are relatively fertile, but except for Yu County, Li Yin does not dare to move.

Taiyuan County, as an important place in the east of the river, has fifteen counties and 175,030 households, it is really a first-class county, and there are many troops, and it is well-equipped, it is not easy to bully, if Lou Fu County has half the strength of Taiyuan County, Li Yin can't grasp the handle of Taishou Geguan, and he can force him to obey orders obediently.

Since the nearby counties of Mayi County, Loufan County, and Taiyuan County could no longer resettle the displaced people, Li Yin had no choice but to set his sights on Hebei to the east of Taihang Mountain, which was why he came to Jingcheng Pass at this moment.

If Li Yin wants to go from Yanmen County to Hebei, in addition to going to Jingcheng, he can also go to Feihu Cheng, which is located near Lingqiu County in this county, but Feihu Cheng leads to Shanggu County in Hebei, where there is not much arable land, so it is not an ideal goal.

Hengshan County, Hebei Province, which leads to Jingcheng, is different, which is a good place with a lot of arable land.

Hengshan County was called Changshan County in the past dynasties before the Sui Dynasty, unified eight counties, there were more than 177,000 households in the Kaihuang period, and the population was more than Taiyuan in Hedong County, but now after several years of war, the land is barren, and the population does not exist one, which is suitable for Li Yin to restore order here and settle the displaced people!

The guard of Jingcheng Pass is named Qin Ce, he has been the guard of Jingcheng Pass for some years, and has not had the opportunity to be promoted, seven years before the Great Cause, he has 5,000 people under his command, but after seven years of the Great Cause, the situation in Hebei is erosive, almost every three or four months, there will be rebels to attack Jingcheng Pass.

Jingcheng Pass is very dangerous, as long as the guards do not make mistakes, it is relatively easy to defend it, so this pass is still in Qin Ce's hands.

However, due to the lack of food supply, it was difficult to replenish the soldiers after casualties, so the defenders of Jingcheng Pass were now much worse than before, only about 2,000 people.

Qin Ce took a group of generals to find a place to sit down, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant immediately stepped forward to give him a warm reception, and soon put on the best wine and specialty dishes.

The other generals ate lively, but Qin Ce was like chewing wax, because he received a report that Zhang Jin, the most powerful rebel in Hebei now, said that he was now leading a large army to Jiumen County in Hengshan County, and seemed to be intending to dig a well.

Zhang Jin claimed to be a native of Juxian County, Qinghe County, and he had already raised troops as early as the seventh year of the Great Cause, and was the first group of people in Hebei to pull the flag and rebel.

In the past three years from the seventh year of the Great Cause to the present, the rebels from all walks of life in Hebei have been like weeds in the fields, cutting batch after batch, and Zhang Jin said that he can still dominate Hebei, and he is definitely not an idle person.

Zhang Jin said that this person was cruel and murderous, and he was ruthless in this regard, both for the officers and soldiers and for the "righteous army", for the officers and soldiers, every time he defeated the officers and soldiers, he would kill all the captured officers and soldiers, so that as soon as the current officers and soldiers heard Zhang Jin's name, they were afraid for three points.

Zhang Jin said that he was not soft on other "rebels" at all, and in the past three years, he has annexed countless teams, and even Dou Jiande's friend Sun Anzu was killed by him.

Zhang Jin said that there are now 50,000 troops, and nearly half of them are soldiers who have been fighting with him for several years, which is very difficult to deal with.

"I'm afraid I can't hold it this time!" Qin Ce thought so in his heart, as long as he understood that Jingcheng Pass was now in a difficult situation, Hengshan County was too busy to take care of itself, except for the county town, it had basically been captured by the rebels, and the soldiers in the pass had no morale, and most of them had the heart of being able to live one day at a time.

In this case, no matter how dangerous Jingcheng Pass is, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist Zhang Jin's army of 50,000.

Li Yin suddenly said loudly to Fu Ying at this time: "Have you heard? The Eagle Yang Lang of Yanmen County will repeatedly defeat the rebels, and the soldiers are strong and strong, and Yanmen County has now become the first stable place! ”

Fu Ying said: "How could you not have heard of it? My second uncle also became a petty officer in his army, so I went to Yanmen County to join him. ”

Qin Ce's heart couldn't help but move after hearing this, the west exit of Jingcheng is near Yuxian, since the road of Wutai Mountain was opened by Li Yin's organization, now from Jingcheng Pass to Yanmen Pass, it only takes less than two days to speed up the horse, which is not too far.

Qin Ce thought to himself: "I have also heard of this Li Yin's name, and it seems that he is quite capable of fighting, do you want to ask him to help deal with Zhang Jincheng?" ”

After pondering in his heart for a while, Qin Ce walked to Li Yin's table with a pot of wine and sat down, and smiled at Fu Ying: "This brother, can your second uncle talk to Lord Li from Yanmen County?" ”

Fu Ying said: "Of course you can, what are you going to do?" ”

Qin Ce handed a piece of silver to Fu Ying, "I want to talk to Master Li about something, I wonder if this can help my brother?" ”

Fu Ying took the silver two into his arms, and then stood up, "This is good, please ask Lord Qin to wait in the private room in front." As he spoke, he and Li Yin walked to a private room in front.

Qin Ce was stunned for a moment, not knowing why for a while, but in the end he called a few people to follow him.

This restaurant also has a private room, but Qin Ce and others have always preferred to eat and drink in a spacious and lively place, so they have rarely been to a private room, as soon as he walked into the private room, Fu Ying pointed at Li Yin and said: "General Qin, this is the general you want to see!" ”
