camping at night, Liu Yi called the remaining women to replenish his Yuanyang True Qi. At noon, he forced poison for Xuanyuan Feng, but in fact, he also consumed a lot of true qi. Of course, those women who had already allowed Liu Yi to absorb the qi of Yuan Yin, Liu Yi was not summoned. What they had just absorbed, they had not yet absorbed the aura of heaven and earth in their bodies, and it would take at least three or a few days before there would be any more Yuan Yin Qi for Liu Yi to absorb.

Naturally, such a thing made Xuanyuan Feng unbearable for a while, and it was muddy below. In the middle of the night, if it weren't for Liu Yi knowing that her body couldn't withstand the wind and rain, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear her. In the end, it was Liu Yi who vented her anger with his hands.

With these embarrassing kissing actions again, Xuanyuan Feng really let go completely, in her heart, she had already put Sima Zheng out of the clouds, and she didn't have any attitude of being sorry for him at all, her heart was completely tied to Liu Yi's body.

At noon the next day, he crossed the Yellow River and went north, during which Liu Yi forced another poison for Xuanyuan Feng, basically, he had forced out all the toxins in Xuanyuan Feng's body. But because she lost too many problems, she passed out again, and her face was much worse than the day before yesterday. However, there is no need for Liu Yi to guard her all the time, she only needs to use a silver needle to seal Yuanyang's true qi in her body.

On the third day, the army finally arrived in Jinyang.

Liu Yi met Xin Bi, who came to greet him, and naturally, he also met Xin Xianying, who was a few years old. This little girl, tender and tender, is particularly endearing, especially her pair of big bright eyes, at a young age, she shows a cunning that ordinary children do not have. The women who went on the expedition with Liu Yi were all amused.

Levi expressed his regret over the death of his eldest brother Xin Ping to Xin Bi, although Xin Bi was also a little sad. But he didn't say much, and he probably came out of the state of mind of losing his brother.

Lewy asked him again. After the end of this Northern Expedition, whether you are willing to leave and go to another place or return to Luoyang as an official. Simbi said it didn't matter. Decided to follow Lew's orders.

Xin Bi has been a thorn in Bingzhou for almost ten years, and he has to move. An administrative officer, staying in one place as an official, not to mention whether there will be problems, I am afraid that they will be a little bored. Facts have also confirmed that if an administrator is in charge of one side for too long, there will inevitably be problems. Corruption is absolutely inevitable. Therefore, Liu Yi also recognized the practice of changing the term of office in later generations. Of course, the practice of changing temples in later generations was not thorough enough. Anyway, Liu Yi believes that the chief executive of a place should not be in a place for more than three or four years. Regardless of whether he does well in the local area or not, he must be transferred to other places.

For example, a certain chief executive. In one place, after three or four years, the work is not done well, and the work is not progressing. Then, if you transfer to another place, if you transfer to another place. Can you do a good job? That proves what kind of environment it is more suitable for working in, later. They can then be transferred to work in a similar environment, and keep the person in charge of the administration to the best of his ability. In this way, he has the possibility of being promoted to another level and entering the central government as an official. If an official who is already doing well is transferred to another place when the change of office, he may do better, and if he does not do well, it can also prove whether he is suitable for working in certain environments.

Of course, if a certain chief executive is transferred to work in several environments and does not do well, it will prove his ability.

Frequent official transfers may cause some unrest in society. However, as long as the main principles and policies remain unchanged, and the central government of the imperial court formulates a policy that is not a son of heaven and a courtier, or a late change of the imperial decree, and every official can maintain his own integrity, I believe that the damage to society will not be great.

Anyway, under the special national conditions of China, a local magistrate who stays in one place for too long will have problems sooner or later. Liu Yi believes that the same is true of ancient and modern times.

Of course, it's not that Liu Yi is suspicious of Xinbi's bad work in Bingzhou now, and the situation in Bingzhou is still relatively good. The development is changing with each passing day, especially in this aspect of the integration of Han and Chinese, and Simbi has done quite well. The current state is almost equivalent to a big market for the integration of Han and foreign cultures. Countless cattle and sheep flow from Bingzhou to all parts of Dahan every year. This is not just about promoting economic and cultural integration. Those cattle and sheep have played a great role in promoting the production of the entire Han Dynasty. Otherwise, within the jurisdiction of the New Han Dynasty, how could it be possible to basically have cattle in every household?

The common people have ploughing cattle at home, and with the help of the blacksmith department of the Ministry of Industry, which is more suitable for ploughing and harrowing and other agricultural tools. In the common people's homes, ordinary elderly people and women can use cattle and horses to turn over the fields, and there is no longer a need for young and strong laborers to hoe the fields by manpower. This is a question of the liberation of the productive forces. Otherwise, the New Han Dynasty is now fighting a series of wars, so many young and strong people have become soldiers of the New Han Army, who will continue to cultivate and produce food? How can we ensure that after a large number of young people are recruited, the production of the new Han Dynasty will not be affected?

Therefore, the merger of states played a very important role in the process of excavation in the New Han Dynasty.

Of course, when Liu Yi told Xin Bi about this, he just asked him about his intentions in advance and told him a thorough understanding in advance. Because, in the future, the Han Dynasty will also adopt the method of frequently transferring administrative officials to ensure the clarity of government institutions in various places.

According to the intelligence of Guò Xinbi, Xu Chu's main army had already marched towards Yamen Pass. If Liu Yi followed immediately, there would only be a day's march distance between him and Xu Chu's advancing army.

But Liu Yi didn't plan to take too many female dependents out of the customs. I want Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Qing to stay in Jinyang, Bingzhou to recuperate.

However, when Liu Yi was in Jinyang and accompanied the Yan family back to her original Yan family, her Yan family had become a ruin, and after all these years of turmoil, the Yan family did not know whether they had moved away or suffered an accident.

In fact, there is indeed no one in the Yan family, or there will be individual family members who are still living incognito, but Mrs. Yan is really impossible to find anyone from the Yan family now, unless, after the Han Dynasty is completely unified, Mrs. Yan announces her identity and announces the world. Let's see if he still has a family alive and if he will come to recognize her.

Well. In that year, Dong Zhuo led 200,000 iron horsemen into Luoyang, and Lu Bu suddenly stabbed Ding Yuan to death and took refuge in Dong Zhuo. At that time. I believe that Lu Bu would not have thought that he would betray Ding Yuan, so he must not have time to make corresponding arrangements for the family members related to him.

At that time, most of the military horses belonging to Ding Yuan's headquarters fled back to Bingzhou from Luoyang. Among them, the soldiers who were loyal to Ding Yuan were quite indignant and hated Lu Bu's traitor to kill his father. Therefore, staying in Jinyang, he didn't know that Lu Bu had killed Ding Yuan's Yan family who had invested in Dong Zhuo. was attacked and pursued by the generals of Ding Yuan's old army. The entire Yan family has been wiped out. There is no way, who called Yan Shi Lu Bu's wife? The people related to Lu Buyi were ruthlessly hunted down and killed in real time.

It turned out that the Yan family's wealth had already been looted, and the Yan family's fields and other family properties had been distributed to the people after they were seized by the New Han Dynasty and annexed to the state. The Yan family's ancestral house still exists, but it is in ruins.

Yan was sad and asked the local government for the title deed of the ancestral house. Then let people build a Yan Mansion and restore the temple of the Yan family. She decided to stay, and Lu Chan naturally accompanied her. But the Yan family has not been able to build it for the time being, and they can only live in the post station in Jinyang. It's not easy to place Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Qing sisters. At their request, Liu Yi had no choice but to agree to take their sisters on the expedition together.

In addition, Yi Ji and Gan Qian. They stayed. One, they are accompanied by Mrs. Yan. Second, I want to wait for the situation in Youzhou to stabilize a little. They also went back to Youzhou to have a look. When the time comes, Mrs. Yan and Lu Chan may be invited to go for a break together.

Liu Yi also let them go, leaving a battalion of military horses to protect them.

In this way, Liu Yi took Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Qing sisters. There are also Huang Wudie, Zhao Yu, Qinglian, Hongyue, Ugan Tama, Lan Ji, Lisi and other women, under the escort of Dian Wei's first army, marching towards Yamen Pass.

Yamen Pass is actually quite far away from Tianzhen, and there are still more than 400 miles.

The march of the army, if it is all cavalry, may be able to arrive in one day, but with the current speed of Lewi's line, I am afraid that it will take at least two days.

And when Liu Yi, the first army, and a group of transport teams arrived at Yamen Pass, Xu Chu had already led the army out of the pass for two days. If there is no miscalculation, the New Han army led by Xu Chu has already reached Tianzhen and joined Gao Shun.

These days, the Wuhuan army of Louban has really made a lot of determination, and they have been attacking Tianzhen frantically.

On the desert grassland, the north wind is bleak, and the snowflakes have been falling for two days in a row. A real thousand miles of ice and snow.

It was close to dusk in the afternoon of that day, and before it was dark, Lou Ban continued to organize an attack.

The military horses of Louban have an army of about 300,000 tribes, in fact, there are more than that. Because over the years, he has captured many Han slaves and exterminated some small foreign tribes, forming a slave army. The number of people is not too much, only 20,000.

After a continuous assault for more than ten or twenty days, Lou Ban did not use this slave army. It's not that Lou Ban is reluctant to use it, but with the strength of the New Han Dynasty, it will be a little difficult for him to catch Han people as slaves in the future. Therefore, he used these slaves as a death squad. By bloody means, these slaves can only obey his orders, and if they do not obey his orders, they can only die.

After attacking these days, he had already seen that the Xinhan army guarding Tianzhen had fallen into a very tired state. Moreover, he also discovered that the materials for defending the city were already insufficient. His military horses, in the past few days, have broken through to the city many times, but they were defeated by the New Han army. This made Lou Ban see the hope of capturing Tianzhen.

Therefore, Lou Ban decided to use the slave army and let 20,000 people knock on the gate of Tianzhen for him.

The desolate horn sound of the beep represents another charge horn of the Wuhuan siege army.

Gao Shun stood on the tower in the east of Tianzhen City in the shape of a mountain, letting the cold north wind blow on his body, and the snowflakes falling from the fluttering down fell on his head and shoulders.

The soldiers of the New Han Army, they are indeed very tired, at this time, most of them are leaning against the wall, closing their eyes to recuperate. Of course, almost every soldier was covered in blood and had some injuries.

Gao Shun was also wounded.

It can be seen from his current situation.

The first is Gao Shun's general's helmet, which has multiple whitish scratches that show Gao Shun fending off multiple attacks that hit him in the head. The red tassel on the top of the helmet also condensed into a ball, which should have been splashed with blood, a little blackened, and no longer fluttering.

The face under the helmet was stained, and the eyes on that face were bloodshot, if it weren't for his cold eyes, I am afraid that no one would think that this was their general Gao Shun, who defended the city.

Also, his armor was also tattered in many places, and it was full of blood clots.

His hands and feet were wounded and bandaged.

The unwounded hand was carrying a short sword, with a notched edge like a jagged tooth.

"Prepare for battle!"

After the horn of the Wuhuan army sounded, when a group of Wuhuan siege troops advanced in formation, Gao Shun calmly gave the order.

"Damn! General Gao Shun! This is the thirteenth time they have attacked today. ”

"Well, how is the situation of our soldiers? Also, how is the battle at the various gates? Gao Shun turned his head to look and saw a general hurrying over with his legs on crutches, scolding loudly, and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart and asked, "Guo Jian, is it injured?" You okay? ”

"Hey! It's okay, just now the north was attacked by a team of alien dead, but fortunately, Guo was killed in time. They bit me on the thigh. ”

Guo Jian is also a veteran of the New Han Army who followed Gao Shun very early, although he is only in his thirties now, not old, but in terms of qualifications, he is indeed a veteran.

When he was crusading against Zhang Yan in Montenegro, he was already one of the generals, and he had a hand in the war. Now, he is already the commander of the army.

"Chengbei? Isn't there a former Tianzhen city guard guarding it? How did you get the Wuhuan army to attack? "Gao Shun not only has to face the enemy army in front of him, but also has to keep track of the garrison inside and outside the city and at each city gate.

"The city guard Huyanhu is ...... killed"

"What?" Gao Shun was stunned.

Tianzhen City Shouhu Yanhu is a Shuo Fang person, and his martial arts are quite good, although he is not as good as Gao Shun, but he can also fight with Guo Jian.

"Among the Wuhuan army, there are sharpshooters, who were shot." Guo Jian said in a low voice: "My leg injury is also an arrow wound." ”

"Can you still hold on? If we can hold on, call the soldiers up, even if there are no materials to defend the city, we can still repel the attack of the Wuhuan people! Gao Shun threw away the broken sword and grabbed the spear that was leaning against the wall.

"Hey! Brothers! Beat the drums and fight! Guo Jian did not respond to Gao Shun, but directly shouted murderously.

"Archers prepare! Damn, save some use, aim for me to shoot! Guo Jianda shouted, (To be continued......)
