On the tenth day of the seventh month, Xiang Xun took the 800 soldiers who had been dismissed from Yuanzhou and their families, a total of 4,000 people, to Xingyuan Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Yue was overjoyed, 4,000 people is a lot, and the soldiers and families laid off from the Xingyuan Mansion are co-camped, a total of 25,000 people, and they plan to send them to Huizhou first and then report to the court, so as not to repeat again.

Although the conditions offered for moving to Huiju were very generous, with 30 acres of land per household, tax exemption for the first three years, and the help of the Huizhou government to build houses and settle down, many soldiers were reluctant to leave their homes. Even if the attitude is resolute, but the soldiers also have the mentality of conforming to the herd, and officers at all levels take the lead in doing ideological work, and things are going fairly smoothly.

"If there are more than 20,000 soldiers, there are still so many old and weak, and it is almost thousands of miles to walk on the Qishan Road, who will pay for the food and grass relief along the way?" Xiang Xun frowned and asked.

"I have already informed Wang Baogong that all those who have disarmament on their side will be sent to Xingzhou, and they will pass through Chengzhou and Qinzhou on the way, and there will be at least 50,000 people laid off by Zhang Jianxiong, and the grain and grass are indeed a problem, or they can only leave in batches."

"I think you should report it at the same time as you move the population, it would be too taboo to delay it afterwards." Xiang Xun reminded.

"Okay! It will be sent away tomorrow, and it just so happens that Xingzhou and Fengzhou still have captured stocks of military rations. Zhang Yue smiled, and asked again: "The battle report has been sent to Tokyo first, but the merits of the various armies have not yet been calculated, why don't we go to Xingzhou together tomorrow and ask Wang Baogong to come over and review it together?" ”

"Wang Baogong didn't come, so it can only be like this." Xiang Xun nodded.

The next day, Zhang Yue arranged for Li Chuyun to stay behind to deal with the military and political affairs of Xingyuan Mansion, and went to Xingzhou with Murong Yanzhao, Xiang Xun and other camp leaders of the Western Expedition, and let Feng Qianhou, Hao Tianying, and Song Lingguang take the scouts of the Zhenyuan Army in Huizhou, and supervise the soldiers to accompany their families.

There were many people on the road, and the soldiers were also old and weak, many women were crying and crying, and children were screaming, and they had to be appeased from time to time, and they could only walk thirty or forty miles a day, and they did not arrive in Xingzhou until July 18.

Wang Jing received the report that he had brought 15,000 people and 20,000 stone of grain and grass from Fengzhou, and it happened that the immigrants could rest here for a few days. Zhang Yue asked Feng Qianhou to deal with the immigration, and Hao Tianying set off with 20,000 people on the first day, and first sent someone to inform Xuan Chongwen to prepare to go to Qinzhou to respond.

Zhang Yue discussed the merits with Wang Jing and others, and the first merit of this war was, of course, Luo Yanhuan under Zhang Yue, and then Wang Tingyi, Zhang Jianxiong, Yongxing Army Sun Yanshou, Murong Yanzhao and Zhen'an Army Xiang Training Department, and finally Wang Jing and Zhang Yue's great achievements.

This is a high-level general, and the two levels of the military commander are also to be implemented and reported, and then the subordinate generals of each army can directly fill in the blanks and appoint them on their own.

It was agreed that the merit report was sent to Tokyo under the command of Wang Jing's escort ya, and by the way, Zhao Arsenic, the judge of Qinzhou Jiedu; Fengzhou's mighty army Jiedu Wang Huan, assassin Wang Wandi, capital supervisor Zhao Chongpu, Liuba Juncheng commanded Sun Liangqing and other high-ranking prisoners of war to take away, arranged by the court. There is also Zan Jurun's chapter, and the matter of peace is also made up.

After staying in Xingzhou for a few days, Li Chuyun of Xingyuan Mansion sent someone to send a message that the envoys of Shuzhong, Yi Xianzheng and Zhao Chongtao, arrived at Xingyuan Mansion and asked them to discuss the matter of striking the army and making peace. So, Wang Jinghe, Xiang Xun, Zhang Yue, and Murong Yanzhao returned to Xingyuan Mansion.

By the end of July, military newspapers from all walks of life had been sent back to Tokyo, and the results of the western expedition were gratifying. However, with the military report and the military exploits of the main general, the Privy Council is already deliberating. As for the results, there was no rumor at all.

It's none of his business, other forbidden army generals and courtiers are not in a hurry, but Fu Yanlin has paid special attention to this matter in the past few days. The reason is that Qiongniang came to the house twice, revealing what Zhang Yue said in her family letter that she wanted to go out of the town. It is rare for the little son-in-law to be so motivated, and he is appreciated and valued by the official family, and the relationship with the ministers of the DPRK and China is not bad, and Fu Yanlin is also willing to run to ask for recommendations.

When night fell, the lights were on, and fifty horsemen escorted a carriage to the door of Li Xianggong's mansion on the east side of Junyiqiao Street.

After a while, Li Gu personally greeted him, and Fu Yanlin got out of the carriage and stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "There is Lao Li Xianggong to greet him, don't you dare to be it!" ”

"General Fu is too polite, please come in!" Li Gu smiled and returned the salute, secretly guessing Fu Yanlin's intention in his heart, and had a little understanding.

Li Gu and Fu Yanlin are the same age, they are both fifty years away, and the two do not have a deep friendship, they can only be regarded as acquaintances. went all the way to the study at the back of the atrium and sat down, called someone to serve tea, and then sent it out, got up and closed the door, sat down after returning to the table, and listened to Fu Yanlin get straight to the point, but said with a vague smile: "The war of the Western Expedition is finally over, and it has fully met expectations, but unfortunately the old man is old and can no longer go to the battlefield!" ”

"Huh...... Why did General Fu feel this way, going out to fight is a hard thing. Of course, making meritorious contributions, recovering the old frontier, and making contributions to the annals of history are indeed enviable. Li Gu picked up the teacup and dealt with it, and didn't ask when he didn't say it directly. A lot of things are like this, if you don't ask, it's fine, if you ask, you'll be responsible.

"Of course...... Qin Feng and Xingyuan Mansion and other eight states are included in the territory, and there is no possibility of peeking into the pass in Shuzhong, so I don't know how to govern these eight states in the future? Is it to set up Fang Zhen according to the original Shuzhong, or is it directly appointed by the court to assassinate Shi or Zhizhou? Fu Yanlin planned to ask about the situation before speaking, otherwise it would be too abrupt to say it first, and it would be embarrassing for others.

"For example, where is it not ruled by the side today? Qin Feng is also a border land, and the state officials naturally cannot defend the border. Originally, Shuzhong was set up as three towns and one state, but several ministers of the DPRK and China took into account the mountainous area on the border of Guanxi and the small population of Xiazhou, so they thought that it would be enough to set up three towns of Qinzhou Xiongwu, Fengzhou Weisheng, and Xingyuanfu Shannan West Road. Among them, Xingzhou was assigned to Weisheng, and Yuanzhou was included in Shannan West Road. I don't know if such a measure is taken, does General Fu think it is appropriate? Li Gu said with a smile.

"It's also suitable, in fact, from a certain point of view, it can be set up as two towns of Qinfeng and Shannan West Road, and it will save a lot of trouble." Fu Yanlin smiled disapprerovingly, and finally asked, "Since the territory of Fang Town has been divided, the selection of the section commander must have been agreed, right?" ”

"This is not true, after all, the aftermath of the Western Expedition is still going on, and the hostile war relationship with Shuzhong has not been dissolved, and the candidates for the three towns need to be transferred from other places."

Li Gu said ambiguously, thinking that saying this would inevitably disappoint Fu Yanlin, and he was unhappy, so he added: "According to the previous rules, the battle generals are generally rewarded according to their military merits, but Wang Baogong has been in Fengxiang for a long time, and this is to be transferred." Among them, Xiang Xingmin is qualified enough, Zhang Yuanzhen, Murong Yanzhao, and Zhang Jianxiong are all almost, especially Zhang Yuanzhen, but he is too young! ”

"Murong Yanzhao and Zhang Jianxiong are both old qualifications, but their combat achievements are slightly inferior. My son-in-law has great military achievements, but he is young and lacks qualifications, but now the official family is eclectic, and he was also named by the official family before the war, which is not hopeless. Besides, he is also familiar with Li Xiang, so why not make an exception and recommend it once? When Fu Yanlin said this, she finally showed her true intentions.

"That being the case...... When the time comes, I will mention it, I dare not guarantee whether it can be successful! Li Gu smiled and nodded, so he had to agree.

"My son-in-law has been immigrating to Huizhou, and it took a lot of thought to do so! Hehe...... Write down Li Xiang's favor, let's meet again in the future, and I will leave! (To be continued.) )
