Chapter 51: Uncle's Nephew (3)

"Zhao Min's death, since someone should be guilty, although Han Lie is my own nephew, but the law cannot be abolished, I ordered him to be removed from the post of general, demoted to Zhending County Lieutenant, and he will take office immediately." Although Han Fu was angry with Han Lie, he would not have the intention of killing him, but he would be forced by Xin Ping to bring out his wife, so he decided to depose Han Lie, as long as Han Lie stayed away from Yecheng, his wife would naturally be beyond his reach.

Han Fu's decision, but it was not made casually, speaking of which this Zhending County, which belongs to Changshan State, is called a country, and naturally there are princes surnamed Liu, that is, the sons and daughters of the Han family, this person may not have any real power in his hands, but the name is there.

For such a big Buddha, Han Fu, the Jizhou pastor, is also a little unable to let go, ignoring his existence, Han Fu does not have the courage, but to offer him, he is a little unwilling, for this area of Changshan country, now a little free from Jizhou.

It was precisely in consideration of the particularity of Changshan Country that Han Fu decided to send Han Lie over, firstly, to avoid his wife's accountability, secondly, to deal with Yuan Shao's questioning, and thirdly, to release this sharp-edged nephew, so that the contradictions around him were naturally avoided.

Han Lie in the sour jujube camp naturally didn't know that he had been assigned at this time, and he couldn't think about it so much at the moment, because there were so many things at hand that he was so busy that he was too busy.

Although he already knew the news that Liu Min was Han Fu's wife's uncle afterwards, he was not overly worried about this matter, because he had his own bottom line in his heart, that is, whoever dared to hurt his brother or woman, no matter who it was, he would turn his face against him, not to mention Han Fu's brother-in-law, that is, Han Fu himself, he would also fight for reason and win a place for himself.

Han Lie now has 2,100 soldiers assigned to him in various states and counties, and now that the coalition army is disbanded, these horses should naturally be dispersed, the war horses he captured at Bishui Pass were originally promised to be sold to the princes of all parties in exchange for money to reward these soldiers, but now that the coalition army is disbanded, the war horses naturally cannot be sold, and now these war horses are still in the sour jujube camp.

So Han Lie has been busy with this matter for the past two days, and after some statistics, Han Lie decided to assign a war horse to every three sergeants, and let them take the horses back to their hometowns to deal with them, and those who died in battle were also distributed according to this, and the officers in the army were responsible for distributing the war horses and sending them back to their homes.

The reason why he was busy distributing was that Han Lie was also worried that once the coalition army returned to Sujuju, he was worried that those selfish guys would swallow his war horses alone, so he decided to distribute the war horses first and let the sergeants leave first.

After two days of accounting and distribution, the 2,100 sergeants and 1,950 people left, and they also took the 1,700 war horses in the battalion, as well as the five million coins in Han Lie's hand, and each returned to his hometown.

Most of the soldiers left in tears, and many of them didn't want to leave, because they were moved by Han Lie's rewarding behavior and kindness to the soldiers, so these soldiers who had experienced life and death with Han Lie naturally didn't want to leave, but Han Lie couldn't support these people at the moment, so he had to send them home.

The number of soldiers in Xuzhou was the largest, 200 people, Tao Qian gave him 700 people, and as many as 500 people died in battle, when these soldiers left, they all repeatedly asked to stay, and finally Han Lie made an oath, saying that he would definitely visit them in Xuzhou in the future, so he persuaded them to leave.

The one hundred and fifty sergeants left behind, most of them were team leaders, generals, and junior officers in the army, and they were the backbone of the army, Han Lie believed that once he recruited 3,000 soldiers that day, with this group of officers, his army would quickly form a combat effectiveness.

When Han Lie was in Xingyang, he asked Xu Huang to recruit 300 private soldiers, and most of them were killed and wounded in the Battle of Bianshui, and now with these 150 people, he still retains 300 private troops.

Three hundred people and four hundred and fifty war horses, to feed such an army, the cost of a year is as high as more than one million yuan, fortunately, when he was in Xingyang, Han Lie sold a lot of materials, and he had a wealth of five thousand gold in his hands, and it was no problem to feed these horses for three or five years, as for the future, it can only depend on the development of the situation.

Just finished the matter at hand, the messenger sent by Han Fu also arrived, and seeing the letterhead that Han Fu gave him, Han Lie said to the messenger with a calm face: "Go back and tell my uncle, the little nephew will receive the order." ”

"County Lieutenant Zhending? Is this Lord Han really your uncle? When Dian Wei heard the news, he looked at Han Lie with an indignant expression and asked.

"Poof!" Han Lie picked up the water cup and just took a sip of water, spraying it directly on Dian Wei's face, but when it came out of Dian Wei's mouth, combined with his exaggerated expression, it was full of joy, which made Han Lie couldn't help but laugh.

Dian Wei, who had a watery face, looked at Han Lie innocently, and looked at the people in the tent with round eyes: "Did I say something wrong?" ”

"Haha......" Looking at the innocent expression on Dian Wei's dark face and the splash, everyone couldn't help but let out a loud laugh.

After laughing, the atmosphere in the camp also relaxed, and Han Lie said solemnly: "I think that staying in Yecheng at the moment is far more difficult than going to Zhending, now we want money in our hands, we want people, if we stay in Yecheng, every move will be monitored, on the contrary, go to Zhending, stay away from right and wrong, naturally there will be less constraints, I heard that the black mountain thieves are rampant in Bingzhou, Zhending is not far from Bingzhou, maybe we can meet the black mountain thieves at that time, wouldn't this be happier than staying in Yecheng to be a caged bird?" ”

"Having said that, I heard that the people of Changshan are fierce, and the decree of King Changshan is self-contained, and the decree of Han Envoy Jun cannot be conveyed at all, will we be hostile to King Changshan if we go over like this?" To say that Han Lie and these people are really blind to the situation in Changshan, on the contrary, Xu Rong has some understanding of the situation in Changshan.

"If it's just as Uncle Xu said, then I think that my uncle sent me to Zhending, I'm afraid that it is also intended to give Changshan King eye medicine, if so, then we will go to Zhending, if we don't toss something out, I'm afraid that which of my uncles may not be happy?" Listening to Xu Rong's analysis, Han Lie already understood in his heart that Han Fu was only afraid that he had the idea of using himself to mess up Changshan Country, and then he could garrison troops openly and honestly and take the governance of Changshan Country in his hands in one fell swoop.

Speaking of which, although Han Fu currently has the title of Jizhou pastor, in fact, the twelve counties of Jizhou, the counties that are really controlled by him, are only five counties, and the others are either in the hands of the princes surnamed Liu, or in the hands of the Hebei family, and just like Yuan Shao, who sits in Bohai County, but controls the actual power of the surrounding counties, plus has a world-renowned reputation, even Han Fu, the state pastor, has to let him do everything for three points.

Thinking of Yuan Shao, Han Lie suddenly remembered in history, not long after the disbandment of the Kwantung Coalition Army, Yuan Shao seized Jizhou and drove Han Fu away.

Thinking of this, Han Lie's scalp couldn't help tingling, but he couldn't say anything about it, he couldn't run to tell Han Fu that Yuan Shao wanted to seize your territory, you should quickly raise troops to fight against him, let's strike first.

Han Lie estimated that if he told Han Fu like this, with Han Fu's indecisive character, most of them would not believe his words, and he would drive himself out and scold himself.

Seeing that Han Lie was still calm and breezy just now, everyone in the tent changed their faces in a blink of an eye, and their emotions became heavy, and they didn't know what was going on for a while.

"Ziyang, are you okay?" Xu Huang, who was lying on the sickbed, waited for a while before he couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, it's okay, I suddenly remembered something, don't care, pack my luggage, let's leave in the afternoon." Han Lie smiled, he really didn't know how to explain this matter to everyone, and he couldn't interfere in this big matter at the moment, so he could only take one step at a time.

Wang Ding and Wang Ling's brothers were somewhat disappointed that Han Lie was demoted, but they also understood that now they were on the same ship as Han Lie, and they could no longer get off the ship halfway, so they had to follow Han Lie north and embark on the road to Zhending.

However, what makes people ignore is that in just two days, Diao Chan and Cai Yan have a rapid leap in their relationship, and they have become good sisters who talk about everything, and when Han Lie noticed this, Cai Yan, who was simple-minded, was already full of praise for how good Diao Chan was.
