Chapter 35 If you want to do a big thing, don't take refuge in it, and plan carefully to succeed (4)

When taking Huazhou, Li Congjing's policy was to take the enemy by surprise and take Puzhou by speed, and such a policy would not be used. can't be taken by surprise, so there is no way to smash Huanglong, plus the silver spear Xiaojie and Li Shoujing are not comparable to the Long Sword Army and Xu Yonghui, out of this cognition, Li Congjing secretly transferred the Hundred Battles Army to the east.

Li Congjing has a talisman in his hand, and it stands to reason that he can dispatch the garrisons of other feudal towns and states for his own use, but the Tang Dynasty has changed its appearance, and Li Congjing really doesn't dare to hope for other armies, so he only plans to use the Hundred Battles Army.

There are many feudal towns in the world, but the feudal towns are not completely divided into the whole world, and there are some prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty, which are not subordinate to a certain feudal town, but directly under the imperial court, and these states are called directly subordinate states, such as Bianzhou.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, the number of feudal towns in the world has increased, and the number of prefectures directly under the country has been decreasing, so that there are very few. Needless to say, these are only feudal towns, before the Huangchao Rebellion, most of them governed more than ten states, and the small ones also governed three or four states, but now, the number of feudal towns is more, and the number of corresponding states under the jurisdiction of each feudal town is decreasing.

Huazhou is a mess, there are a lot of affairs to deal with, civil and military affairs, Xu Yonghui ignores the money and grain allocated by the imperial court, and the county officials are unwilling to accept the displaced people, so the situation in the counties is almost the same.

On the one hand, he asked the Qin Wangfu to continue to deal with the affairs at hand, and on the other hand, he sent a letter to Li Siyuan, asking him to send the county officials down quickly.

Fortunately, the Qin Wangfu is not an empty shelf, Li Congjing has spent four years in Youzhou, and there are not many other things in the Qin Wangfu, and there is no shortage of armor and capable officials.

When it comes to dealing with civil affairs, Li Congjing can't help but think of Ye Lu Minlai.

This little girl has been in Youzhou for several years, at first she had nothing to do, and then for some reason, she asked Li Congjing for an official position to do practice, but the results were extraordinary, and the entire Tuntian affairs in Lulong Kyushu were in charge of Wei Xingming at first, and then almost all of them were transferred to her.

The wealth and strength of Youzhou also have a great contribution to Yelumin.

Later, after the Battle of the West Building, Yelu Min asked to return to the Khitan, although Li Congjing did not stop him, he did not know the reason. In his opinion, it is probably difficult to leave the homeland after all. He didn't know why Yelumin would return to Khitan, just as he couldn't understand why Yelumin was willing to stay in Youzhou and why he was willing to contribute to Youzhou.

Now I think of it, Yelumin, who has just entered Youzhou, is still a little girl, innocent but not worldly. When she left Youzhou, not to mention the vicissitudes of life, she also experienced ups and downs, and she was exquisitely thoughtful and talented.

Time is not wonderful, what is wonderful is the experience. A person's change, or growth, depends on experience.

Just when Li Congjing recalled Ye Lu Min, Lin Ying came in to report to Li Congjing that the Hundred Battles Army had arrived at the designated position, and the palace guards had been assembled and were ready to enter Puzhou at any time.

The affairs of Huazhou have to be dealt with, and the affairs of Puzhou can't wait, Li Congjing left the affairs here to Wang Pu to preside, and took Mo Li into Puzhou, which is the scheduled itinerary.

After receiving Lin Yingyu's report, Li Congjing got up, and Meng Songbai put on armor for him, and asked people to inform Mo Li and prepare to leave.

Mo Li came quickly, and when he entered the door, he glanced at Li Congjing, who was wearing armor, his face was not very friendly, and he said, "I'm afraid Your Highness won't be able to go to Puzhou today." ”

Li Congjing was keenly aware that something was wrong, and without waiting for him to ask, Mo Li continued: "Someone in Baima County gathered a crowd to make trouble and besieged the officials of the Qin Palace. ”

Li Congjing was furious

Khitan, West Building.

At the beginning of the year, after the Battle of the West Tower, the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty signed an alliance under the city, which marked that Yelubei began to take power. Because of Yelu Abaoji's funeral, after the war, Yelu Bei, as the crown prince, relied on his identity and the benefits of his soldiers to succeed to the throne as the Khitan Emperor.

Although the attack on the Bohai Sea was defeated, in the end the Khitan occupied the two prefectures of Fuyu and Changling, but in the battle with the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan was defeated, but there was no half of the fig leaf. After Yelubei succeeded to the throne, he put part of the blame on Yelu Deguang, took the position of generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and sent the northern land to garrison the border, so that the Jurchens and other troops could be tortured.

Because of the fear of Shu Luping's prestige, Yelubei originally planned to put Shu Luping under house arrest, so as not to interfere in state affairs, but Shu Luping voluntarily followed Yelude to the border and did not want to stay in the West Building. While hating Shu Luping's meanness to him, Yelubei was happy to be quiet around him.

Yelubei is not unbearable to kill Yelu Deguang and Shu Luping, but the two of them are already very powerful, and killing them is easy to cause turmoil, and the current Khitan cannot withstand this turmoil.

During the Battle of the West Building, Bohai Damingan took the opportunity to march into Changling and Fuyu, but was captured by Damingan due to the turmoil of the people. Afterwards, Yelubei and Daming'an signed a peace agreement, and both expressed their willingness to use the pre-war boundary as the standard, extinguish the swords and soldiers of the two countries, and seek peace and security.

At this point, Jerube set about to rectify the internal affairs. The Tatar Ministry and the Black Chezi Murwei regained independence, and Yelu Bei had no choice but to do anything, but the other previous military departments, Yelu Bei first pretended to make peace, and when the national government was slightly stable, he sent troops to suppress it bloodily, which made the Khitan State not exist in name only, and his prestige as the new emperor was also established.

And the reason why these kinds of major events can be carried out in an orderly manner is inseparable from the credit of a woman, this person is Yelu Min who returned to Khitan after the Battle of the West Building.

Yelu Min went to Youzhou to be a Han official for a few years, and now he has returned to China with gilding. Yelubei has always been very affectionate with Yelumin, and seeing that Yelumin is not what it used to be, he gradually reuses and relies on it, and now it is a major event and everything.

After discussing with Yelumin how to revive the local civil affairs, he put down the pen and ink in his hand, and Yelubei, who was now more and more majestic, leaned on the back of the chair and breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Yelumin and sighed: "If it weren't for your help, I don't know when these things would have been sorted out, and I don't know what you have experienced in Youzhou over the years, and you have become so shrewd and capable!" ”

The picture of several years in Youzhou flashed in his mind, and Ye Lumin showed a pure smile, just like an adult recalling his carefree childhood, "Youzhou is a magical place, and there are also a group of magical people, where the sun is bright and dazzling, and the wheat fragrance there is fresh and overflowing. ”

"Although Youzhou is good, after all, in other countries, even if the grassland scenery is single, it is the homeland after all!" Yelubei said solemnly, and felt that he couldn't do this, shook his head and smiled, and got down to business: "Now the major affairs of the Khitan military state are all due to your advice, and your talents are now known to the whole country. ”

Ye Lu Min laughed and said: "The position of Zai Fu can also be held by a woman?" ”

"Why not? You are a Khitan princess, why can't you be a princess? Yelubei said seriously, remembering that Yelumin had been in Youzhou for many years, and frowned, "Khitan is not as good as Datang, but there are not so many pedantic rules, haven't you stayed in Datang for a long time, and you have followed the customs?" ”

Jerebe gave Jerebe a blank look.

Coming out of the palace and returning to the princess's mansion, Yelu Min did not rest, but handled various government affairs in the study. By the time the government affairs were settled, it was completely dark. After dinner, Jeremiah began to read by candlelight. It's almost winter, the west building is already cold to the bone, and the brazier in front of the table is burning vigorously, making a slight stabbing sound from time to time.

Before he knew it, Yelu Min put down the book in his hand, got up and went to the window. Pushing open the window, the cold wind swept in, Yelumin's long hair fluttered to the back of her head, and the dullness in the room was also swept away, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked up at the moon, although she was tired, her eyes were still clear.

The cold wind finally chilled people's bones, and I don't know how long it took, Yelu Min shivered and quickly closed the window. Back at the table, he took out a thick book from the extremely hard-to-find secret compartment under the table, opened it and placed it on the table, turned a new page, and began to write.

"Today, the imperial brother wants to take me as a face, think about it carefully, and think it's okay. I must be familiar with the Khitan military affairs, and this position is suitable for my use. As expected, after the Khitan was re-stabilized, the grassland has now become a three-legged situation of Tatar, Heichezimurowei, and Khitan. However, the black car room is weak, and I am afraid that it will not last long. ”

"This kind of situation, when you expected, there is no need to say more. Only Yelu Deguang and Shu Luping, who defended the northern land, fought with the Jurchens with thousands of remnants, and won many victories, which was very worried. Yerod is only a tiger, and now let the tiger return to the mountain, it will definitely become a great disaster in time, but the royal brother does not listen to me, and cannot kill him, which is really the kindness of the woman. ”

"Others are not enough, the road needs to be walked. In the end, the emperor's ambition is great and talented, and I will work diligently day and night to grasp the power of the country, so don't worry. ”

At this point, Yelumin stopped, bit the tip of his pen and groaned for a while, stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, her cheeks turned a little redder and she continued to write.

"Since Jun's father has won the Tang Dynasty, Jun's worries now must be even worse than before. But I don't know where you are, what you are planning, and who you are talking to at this time. On the side of Ranjun, there are Lu Long's four handsome men to share his worries, and everything must be solved, not like I am alone."

"It's been more than half a year since I saw you, and I still think back to the scene of the day of separation, and it's hard to feel sorry for myself, and you are ruthless and hard-hearted, and you talked all night, but you didn't persuade you to leave a word"

"I heard that Sister Ren has given birth to a son, and I am very happy that I hope that you will cherish it, and I hope to see each other for a while."

A thick book, densely packed with Chinese characters already occupies half of the book, Yelu Min put down the pen, read the words written today from the beginning, and there were tears in his eyes. Gritting his teeth, he ruthlessly put the book back in its place, ran to the bed with a puff of smoke, and got into the blanket with his kimono.

The book lying quietly in the corner of the desk should be a letter.

It's just that it's a letter that will never be sent.
