Jiang Hexing found Li Xiaowen and asked him to send someone to investigate the situation of the river in Pingzhou, and draw a general pattern like a sand table in the army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Xiaowen said that although someone can do it, but it must be done well in all aspects, and people in Pingzhou Mansion can run errands, and the real large-scale project is not simply to understand water, but also to have a long-term study of rivers.

Governor Jiang He sighed, put this matter down first, and go to Chang'an next year, and find the right person in this regard.

Two days later, someone came to the door of the Pingzhou Government Office with a large group of people.

Who is the person who came, it is Li Tong, the captain of Huping Prefecture. Jiang Hexing took the group to the conference room, and after the two sides were seated, someone served tea.

Jiang Hexing took the tea and looked at Li Tong, although he was promoted, he looked much thinner than before, and his face was obviously darkened. Because he was more familiar, Jiang Hexing quipped: "General Li, what's going on lately?" Is it that when you become a captain, you won't be allowed to eat? ”

Li Tong let out a long sigh, looked around at the soldiers who came with him, and then said: "He Shunhou, you are really not wrong, you have been busy lately and have almost no time to eat. To tell you the truth, I also arranged a few days to come here before I had time to come to you. And Shun Hou, no kidding, I came this time to have important military affairs. ”

Jiang Hexing waved his hand, Li Tong's personal soldiers and Pingzhou's miscellaneous servants all withdrew, and the two of them were left sitting opposite each other in the room.

Li Tong opened his mouth and said: "Heshunhou, the imperial court has mobilized all kinds of armies to prepare to attack the Xiongnu, and you need to cooperate." ”

Jiang Hexing smiled and said, "General Li, didn't you just wake up, why are you still talking in your dreams?" Most of our Pingzhou army is fighting in the Huns, you must know, why do you want us to cooperate? ”

Li Tong waved his hand and said: "He Shunhou, you misunderstood, the imperial court means that Pingzhou did a good job of taking the lead in attacking the Xiongnu." But now the territory you have laid is only a quarter of that of the Huns, right? ”

Jiang Hexing said: "Although the territory is not big, but it is not small, we forced Shan Yuting Shan Yudu to commit suicide, King Zuo Xian was captured by us, and was deceived by your Dai level, Lin Bao and ran away, I haven't settled accounts with the court?" ”

Li Tong hurriedly said: "Wait with Shun, calm your anger, your merits will not be forgotten by the imperial court." I haven't heard about King Zuoxian. Although you fought well, now the Right Xian King is also known as Shan Yu, and he is fighting hard in the area of Monan. The meaning of the imperial court is to solve the problem of the Xiongnu once and for all, to completely subdue them, and to make them completely subordinate to our new dynasty. The war needs food, the imperial court mobilizes grain from all sides, and I suggest that the imperial court transport some grain from Pingzhou. You have produced a lot of grain in the past few years, and you want to buy some grain from you. ”

Jiang Hexing thought about it, Li Tong's request was nothing, anyway, the grain in Pingzhou would be sold to the new dynasty. Next year, anyway, it is necessary to set up a port in Quanzhou (now Wuqing, Tianjin), it is better to trade in Quanzhou, and it is convenient for the port of Xianwu City to go directly to Quanzhou Port.

Jiang Hexing said: "General Li, look at this, fighting the Xiongnu is not a matter of a while, it is a long-term war. Pingzhou is also fighting the Huns. However, we do not have much food problem, and we are willing to sell our grain to the new dynasty. However, for the convenience of trading and the transportation of grain to the imperial court, how about we set up a grain market in Quanzhou County, Yuyang County? ”

Li Tong hesitated for a long time and asked, "Heshun, isn't Xianwu City not bad, why do you want to set up a market in Quanzhou?" ”

Jianghexing's plan is a bit complicated, he originally set up a similar transit place in Quanzhou, where the goods of Pingzhou were placed first, and then to the same place as the new dynasty, somewhat similar to the role of Phoenix Island.

However, since the imperial court wants military rations, it will inevitably need other things, so why not take advantage of this to set up a market in the seaport of Quanzhou, which is mainly to sell grain and medicine to the imperial army in the early stage. Now the imperial court has set up five equals and six baskets, and the business is estimated to be too affected in the future, so make preparations in advance, and now set the tentacles in Quanzhou Port, and in the future, Yuyang County and even Jizhou will have at least one base point.

If it is not set up at the time when the imperial court has a request for Pingzhou, Wang Mang is estimated to not agree in the future. In the name of setting up a grain market, the establishment of other markets such as medicine will benefit the army first, and then the people, and more to open up the market under the control of the imperial court.

Jiang Hexing said: "Where do you think it is more convenient to conquer the Xiongnu?" ”

Li Tong said with a smile: "Of course it is Quanzhou, there is a big river in Quanzhou, (lei) water (Yongding River), and some of the military rations of the imperial court must be transported to Yuyang County, Dai County and other places through the Yongding River, if you can buy military rations from there, of course it is more convenient." It's just that I don't know much about whether the court will agree to it. This should be consulted by the imperial court. In this way, it will take some time for you to build there, and before it is completed, I will ask the merchants to buy grain from Xianwu City, no problem, right? ”

Jiang Hexing said: "This is just according to the usual method, there is no need to explain it specially, you also ask the imperial court for instructions, see how about setting up a granary in Quanzhou, how about you buy grain directly there?" ”

Li Tong nodded.

Jiang Hexing asked about the mobilization of some imperial troops, and Li Tong also briefly talked about it.

The imperial court summoned the 12th Route Army, Wuwei General Miao Xun and Hu Ben General Wang Guo attacked from Wuyuan County, the Yan General Chen Qin and Zhendi General Wang Xun attacked from Yunzhong County, Zhenwu General Wang Jia and Pingdi General Wang Meng attacked from Dai County, Xiangwei General Li Yan and Zhenyuan General Li Weng attacked from Xihe County, Yang Jun, the general of Qijiao, and Yan You, the general of Qijiao, and Yan You, the general of Qijiao, attacked from Yuyang County, and the Fenwu general Wang Jun and Dinghu General Wang Yan attacked from Zhangye County.

Now it is only that the border army of the border county has been assembled, and the imperial court has also collected strong men and prisoners from all over the country, but they have not yet arrived. Food and clothing are also being raised.

Hearing that Yan You, an old acquaintance of Jiang Hexing, was in Yuyang County, Jiang Hexing was very happy. At this time, setting up a market in Quanzhou, Yuyang County, at least it will not be too difficult.

Jiang Hexing asked: "General Li, General Yan You is in Yuyang County, you and I are more familiar with him, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" ”

Li Tong's face was embarrassed, and he said after a long time: "I just don't want to deal too much with General Yan You, it's no good to mess with him too much." ”

Jiang Hexing said: "What does General Li mean by this?" Could it be that General Yan You has any prejudice against you, I think he is a very upright man. ”

"Hmph, he's above board? Aren't we all in the open? Do you know? And Shunhou, on the border of the Huns, killed our border counties, killed countless border people, and robbed us of our wealth. General Yan You actually advocated not to use troops against the Xiongnu, and also wrote to the imperial court, asking to bring an elite cavalry to attack quickly and directly fight the Xiongnu, instead of the imperial court sending troops from all over the country to fight the Xiongnu. ”

Li Tong, as he spoke, knocked on the table, his face flushed, and he looked indignant. (To be continued.) )
