For Shuofang officers such as Li Shiwen and Xue Chucun, as long as Shuofang Jieshuai is still Feng's, then their interests in the two salt farms of Wenchi in Lingzhou and Baichi in Yanzhou will still be guaranteed, so Feng Jiye's death will become an excuse to threaten and even bargain.

Of course, they don't know who is behind it, otherwise it would be difficult for this matter to end. But now, Feng Jiye's death can only be reported, and he died in battle! Even if the black hand is found out afterwards, it is useless at all, and no one will admit it.
Zhang Yue understood this truth, but before he could figure out the reason, he asked Li Shi for details. When they heard that the Qiang cavalry was defeated and retreated, Xuan Chongwen and Hao Tianying were on the scene to chase and kill the stragglers, and soon they went to support the front army one after another.
Hearing this, Zhang Yue suddenly realized, and he understood a little in his heart, but he didn't show his face, but instead brought the topic to the question of why Feng Jiye left the Chinese army.
Zhang Yue understood the situation, persuaded Li Shiwen to stop the department, and returned to the camp overnight to report to Guo Rongyu. Of course, when these words came out of his mouth, it turned into Feng Jiye personally going into battle, and as a result, he was hit by the cold arrow of the Qiang cavalry.
Unexpectedly, Guo Rong was furious when he heard this, and said angrily at that time: "Feng Jiye's death and Shuo Fangjun's who is the queen are two things, how can they be confused, this Feng Jiye asked for the state before, but he didn't promise him, and now he has his last words to let his brother stay on his behalf, it's really not greedy." ”
"Your Highness is angry! In fact, it is good to let Feng Jixun stay after retaining, at least this person's personality is much gentler, not as cunning and greedy as Feng Jiye, with him leading Shuofang's affairs, the situation can be quickly stabilized, and Shuofang's soldiers and officers can also accept it, if someone else goes, I am afraid that there will be trouble. In order to avoid exposing Hao Tianying, Zhang Yue had to persuade.
"You arrested Gao Shaoji in Yanzhou before, Zhang Jianwu, Guo Yanqin and others in Gyeongju, how strong are your hands, why are you mild this time?" Guo Rong said in surprise.
"At the end of the year, this is for the overall situation of the northwest, although Huizhou has been won, but it is not stable, we have no foundation here, there are no Han people settled in the entire Huizhou, once the Qiang people are strong, they will turn against the water."
"That's it! The candidate for the commander of one party cannot be decided hastily, but he can make up for it. In addition, the Linghuan Observation Envoy and the Wenchi Tax Envoy, these two positions must be one for the court, and in the future, Shuo Fang will also accept the officials appointed by the court to govern, and the military generals can no longer do their own work. As for how to govern Huizhou, you will report it again in a few days. Guo Rong looked reluctant and agreed.
Zhang Yue heard it and muttered in his heart, you really took advantage of his illness and wanted him to die! Take advantage of the situation and slaughter again, so that Shuo Fang will really return to the court, even if Feng Jixun takes office, he will have to accept dispatch in the future, and he will no longer have the strength of Feng Jiye, who is arbitrary and arbitrary.
The next day, Zhang Yue made another trip and informed Li Shiwen that he could first take Feng Jiye's body back to Lingzhou, and then conveyed the opinion of Guo Rong, the king of Jin, and asked them to go back to prepare. At the same time, the Shuofang garrison in the north of Huizhou could not be withdrawn for the time being, and they had to wait for the change of defense before returning to the town.
After Zhang Yue dealt with this matter, he sent Li Shiwen to return, Guo Rong had already drawn his camp and stationed in Huining City, and assigned troops to collect Huining Pass in the southwest. However, there were still Qiang people on the other side of the Yellow River, and after Tuoba Bogu and Zhuoluo Zunli crossed the Yellow River, they rested on the west bank and did not retreat.
In the afternoon of the same day, Guo Rong convened a military meeting and ordered to build a raft and make ox and sheepskin air bags, so as to cross the river to pursue the Qiang cavalry and drive them out of Huizhou in one fell swoop. Thousands of soldiers were sent to cut wood, and three days later two or three hundred sheepskin airbag rafts were built, and Guo Rongxian sent people across the Yellow River to send a message to Tuoba Bogu, ordering him to leave Huizhou.
Unexpectedly, Tuoba Bogu sent an envoy to return to ask for surrender, wanting to take the western border of Huizhou on the west bank of the Yellow River as a grazing land, and hinted at the interests, saying that this was the unanimous opinion of the Qiang of Lanzhou. At this time, Guo Rong also hesitated, and asked the two important ministers and marshals to discuss.
Zhe Congruan agreed, saying that some grain and grass in the rear could not be helped, and this time the troops were not very large, and they had to be transferred to the south bank of the Yellow River in the north to garrison. Moreover, the death of Pan Fu Duowang has aroused the hatred of Bai Lanqiang, and if he crosses the river to pursue Tuoba Bogu, it is indeed possible to attract more Lanzhou Qiang.
Shi Yi also said that it was not appropriate to pursue again, but put forward a suggestion: Tuoba Bogu wants to surrender, and it must be hostage to Tokyo with its long Tuoba Fanjin, and every year it is necessary to pay tribute to cattle, sheep and horses, and the amount of this amount can be discussed.
The Qiang envoy returned to report the news, and Tuoba Bogu gritted his teeth and agreed, agreeing to officially surrender five days later, on November 12.
As a result, the battle officially came to an end, and the soldiers of the Zhou army were very happy, and the end of the war meant that they could go home. But they were still happy too early, consuming a lot of military rations every day, and they had to do things without fighting, such as repairing the city defenses, replacing the city gates, and demolishing all the crumbling houses in the city, paving the roads, and dredging the drainage system.
The middle and low-level officers and soldiers were busy, and the general of the army also had his own affairs, and Guo Rong held a military meeting in the hall of the Huizhou Mansion to discuss how to govern Huizhou. Zhi Congruan, Shi Yi, Xiang Xun, Liu Congxue, Zhang Yue and others were ordered to be present. The two marshals only gave their opinions, and of course they couldn't stretch their hands to Huizhou.
Zhe Congruan was old and high-powered, and he spoke first: "Huizhou is adjacent to the two towns of Shuofang and Jingyuan, and it is connected to Liangzhou in the west. ”
"There is no Han people settled in Huizhou, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is unrealistic to open a town. The candidate is already lonely, with Zhang Yue's merits in this battle, inform the state military government, and the Huizhou garrison can be built as: Zhenyuan Army! Guo Rong turned his head to look at Zhang Yue, smiling and waiting for thanks.
"Huh? Zhenyuan? The last general still wants to go back to Tokyo, this ...... "What kind of name is this, why is it so weird...... Zhang Yue was speechless for a while.
"What? You don't want to? This place is remote and barren, not to mention women, I don't even see a wine shop, it's really a bit difficult to get up from the ground, but you are young and can bear it, and you are optimistic about you......" Guo Rong has always been serious, this time he was in a good mood, and he actually laughed, and everyone laughed funny.
"Zhenyuan Army? That is, it will be transferred to the border army, and it will no longer belong to the forbidden army! What is the number of soldiers? Zhang Yue's mood is a little complicated, of course it is good that his army officially has a number, but it is really difficult to run this place where the birds do not pull.
"Of course! Five thousand soldiers should be enough to defend Huizhou, but the environment is treacherous, and it can be increased to seven thousand at most. Didn't you spend time in Yanzhou? Go back and let Suo Wanjin transfer two commanders to replenish your troops, and the Jingyuan Army will also send two commanders, set up the shelves of Huizhou, and manage the affairs of Huizhou before you go back to Tokyo. ”
"There is no population, the transportation is inconvenient, and the money and grain have to be transported from other places, which is not ordinarily large, and there are still a few months until the beginning of spring next year, where will the money come from?" Zhang Yue's head suddenly grew for a while, and he counted with his fingers with a bitter face.
"The army withdrew immediately, but a lot of follow-up military rations were transported to Yuanzhou and Yanzhou, and you can eat military rations until February next year, and you can figure out your own way in the future." Guo Rong thought for a while, and said with a serious face: "You can do the rest, but Lone also has a request, the horse farm and the salt farm, you must build it as soon as possible." If there is a lack of officials, I will find a candidate for you as soon as possible after returning to Beijing. (To be continued.) )
