After a light snowfall, the weather slowly cleared up, but there was a sun at noon, and the temperature rose a little, but the temperature difference between day and night was large, and it was still cold in the morning and evening, and the wind was also tight day by day, indicating that the coldest time of the year was coming.

Zhang Yue left after dealing with the matter of Liangzhou, stopped for a day through Anguo Town, and received the goods escorted by Shen Jialan and Cui Huxin, including 100 Hequ stallions, 3,000 good horses, 500 cows and cultivated cattle, 1,000 raw hides and felts, 10,000 catties of valuable medicinal materials such as cordyceps and snow lotus, with a total value of nearly 22,000 yuan, which is definitely a huge transaction.

Among them, the stallion and the war horse are the big heads, and they are brought back to the Huizhou horse farm to be raised, and reported to the shepherds of the court Taifu Temple, who will send personnel to supervise them, and bear the cost of 19,000 yuan. Zhang Yue doesn't have to pay for it, and he can get close to the water and get the moon first, of course he is happy to do this. Other private goods are only a few thousand, and they can be easily eaten.

Shen Panruo sent an eagle slave by the way, it was actually Du Ximi, he was Shen Xuelian's guard, he fought in Chishui Military City before, Zhang Yue knew him, so he handed him over to Chen Jiaxian to take with him, and when he returned to Huining, he handed over the two young eagles to him for domestication.

Then to Baishanshu for half a day, Zhang Yue summoned He Chenghui, inspected the defense and set off again, all the way without delay, three days later in the afternoon to the west bank of the Yellow River. The military fort here is already in construction, and the garrison has temporarily laid the foundation for the capital, and the soldiers are gathering stones and carrying timber in preparation for the official start of construction next year.

Seeing that Zhang Yue was back, the busy people on the construction site came to greet him, and sent someone to support the raft across the Yellow River to report to Zong Jingcheng, who knew that the news came back when it was dark, saying that Feng Qianhou and Yan Chengwang came from Yanzhou with a large number of grain, grass and groceries, Zong Jingcheng went to greet him, and no one supported the raft, so he could only cross the river tomorrow.

It's all at the door, Zhang Yue doesn't care, that night on the west bank of the Yellow River Xinquan ferry camped to rest, the next morning after the wind gradually weakened, Zong Jingcheng finally from the east bank to support the raft across the river to pick up people.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, Zong Jingcheng was a little excited, Zhang Yue didn't feel anything, and asked when they met: "I sent them to Yanzhou and Jingzhou to transport grain before they left, why did they only arrive now, this won't be a mistake, right?" ”

"No! This is the latter trip, Mr. Feng and Yan Chengwang came to recruit troops in Yanzhou, Han Sheng and Li Duojin had already arrived first with grain and grass, and it is said that now the Hechi Horse Farm is also about the same, but there is a lack of labor. Zong Jingcheng said happily.

"It's been so long, and no one has come to the court?" Zhang Yue estimated the time, and it is said that after the war in Huizhou, Guo Rong should go to Tokyo.

"Not yet! No news either! But Mr. Feng may know a little ......," Zong Jingcheng said a little strangely.

"It's really procrastinating......" Zhang Yue smiled bitterly, these years the transportation is inconvenient, the efficiency of the administrative office is not high, and it takes more than ten days and a half to send the Northwest Military Intelligence to Tokyo.

After a little preparation, the men, horses and groceries were handed over to Hao Tianying and then brought over, Zhang Yue only took a few personal soldiers to cross the river with Zong Jingcheng first, and as soon as he went ashore, he saw Feng Qianhou and Yan Chengwang and Li Duofu lined up outside the West City Gate of Wulan County to greet each other.

"Long time no see! Brother Xiaode has worked hard! Without waiting for Feng Qianhou to salute, Zhang Yue greeted first.

"In this desolate place, everyone is hard, the wind is strong by the river, let's go into the city and say...... "It's all my own people, there is nothing to greet politely, Feng Qianhou seems to be anxious to know the situation in Liangzhou."

"It's good! Let's talk as we go! What is the recruitment situation in Yanzhou? Is it full now? I'm afraid the weapons and armor are not in place, right? "There is nothing to do in the state of affairs at the moment, Zhang Yue is only interested in the military.

"This last batch of recruits has arrived, and the seven thousand people are full, and Xuan Chongwen is training in Huining. Li Chuyun surveyed and mapped the map of Huizhou, and built a horse farm, and the salt farm was also selected to be built. In addition, after the remaining grain and grass weapons from the Yuanzhou camp were transported, there was basically no shortage for the time being. Feng Qianhou replied.

"Nothing else important? For example, Shuofang, Jingnan, Jingyuan, etc., "Zhang Yue asked whether the meritorious service of the town marshal was transferred after ......the war in Huizhou."

Of course, Feng Qianhou understood what he meant, and replied after a little deep groaning: "Yes...... The Jingnan army of Pizhou was renamed Zheng Guogong from Ruan Jia to open the three divisions of Fuyi and the same as the third division; Jingyuan Shi Yi added the three divisions of the Fuyi and changed the title of the Acting Guogong; Shuofang Feng Jiye gave the Taibao, and his brother Feng Jixun was the envoy of Shuofang Festival, and the governor of the capital of Jialing Prefecture; Yang Tingzhang Quanshuo Fang Jiedu deputy envoy, concurrently Ling, salt observation envoy. These people all went back to Tokyo to see His Majesty, and the news was brought from Tokyo by the Bian family's caravan Sha Weng.

As for Huizhou, the Zhongshu edict also came down, when I set off from Yanzhou, I heard Sha Weng say that it was Wen Yuankai who came to announce the edict, he was promoted to Huizhou, and brought the edict and a group of state officials to take office, and he had already arrived at the Yongxing Military Mansion. ”

"That's good! Officers can free up their hands to train the troops, Huizhou is not safe at the moment, and it can only be stabilized by forming an army as soon as possible! Zhang Yue nodded and said.

When the group entered the county town of Wulan, the streets were leveled and wider, and the dilapidated houses on both sides were demolished, and the empty wasteland was full. It was originally the house of the Dangxiang Yeci clan, but it was a black smoke barrier, scattered, and the demolition looked much better. At present, there are only soldiers living in barracks in the county, and there is no population, so it seems empty.

The county government has been repaired, the steps have been replaced with new stone slabs, some of the pillars and beams have been replaced with new ones, but they have not been painted, and the same is true for the doors and windows, and the appearance is gray and white, which makes people look very unpleasant.

Zhang Yue, Feng Qianhou, Zong Jingcheng, and Yan Chengwang entered the county hall and sat down, and the soldiers on duty brought hot tea up, Zhang Yue took a sip, and suddenly felt refreshed. Although this is coarse tea, it is much better than the fishy milk tea of the Liangzhou Fan people.

"Do you have pen, ink, paper, and inkstones for office? The matter in Liangzhou is over, and someone has to be sent back to Beijing to report! Zhang Yue sat behind the high table and knocked on the table and said.

"Han Sheng brought it last time! What is the situation in Liangzhou? Feng Qianhou couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Yue told him about the cause and effect, and then Feng Qianhou drafted the chapter, copied the seal, but there was no suitable person to send it to Tokyo, and Yiqian didn't come back before, so he had to let Yan Chengwang run again, plus the three thousand war horses brought back this time, and send them to Tokyo and deliver them to the front division of the Forbidden Army Palace.

"What is the quality of the recruits in Yanzhou? Can my family move over next year? Sending Yan Chengwang away, Zhang Yue looked at Li Duofu again.

"There are a total of six commanders, all of them are fully loaded, and it is a bit troublesome for the family to move over, and some soldiers' families are unwilling, and Suo Dashuai will not agree." Li Duofu replied truthfully.

"That's tens of thousands of people, it's normal for him not to agree, wait until next year to immigrate over! Now that the recruits have been brought, let's go and have a look! "Immigration is not a one-time thing, and Zhang Yue has nothing to do. (To be continued.) )
