"That's a lot of people!"

At the crossing of the Yellow River, a young man about 15 years old stood on the wharf, looking at the dense boats shuttling on both sides of the river, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Hehe, Xiao Langjun doesn't know, since the general of Zhenbei entered Guanzhong to the west to recover Shangjun, the side of the river meandering ferry has become an important passage connecting and Yong. There is an endless stream of people coming and going between the two places every day, and the old man has lived by the Yellow River for decades, and he has never seen such a grand event! ”

After listening to the boatman's explanation, the young man's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he thought, and a faint smile appeared on his face. The young man standing by the river is Xie Ai, who passed through Anding and Beidi counties from Liangzhou, and it took more than half a month to rush to the river meander ferry, intending to cross the big river from here into the north of Shaanxi, and then find a way to go to Jicheng.

Xie Ai observed casually, only to suddenly find that most of the people waiting to cross the river on the dock were scholars like him, and everyone wanted to come for the same purpose as him, all to participate in the scientific expedition in Liaodong.

"In Xia Wei Hu, Jingzhao people, I don't know Xiao Langjun's surname?"

Xie Ai, who was thinking about his thoughts, suddenly heard someone talking, turned around and saw a scholar of about twenty standing behind him, greeting him with a smile.

"It turned out to be a son of Jingzhao Wei, in Xia Xie Ai, a native of Liangzhou."

Xie Ai's heart moved slightly, General Zhenbei has always been hostile to the family, and the various policies implemented in Liaodong are all aimed at restricting and weakening the family, so there are few people in the world who are willing to go out of Liaodong. Only a few people with unique vision dare to risk the world's disapproval to serve Liaodong.

For Xie Ai's strange gaze, Wei Jian had already expected it, but Jingzhao Wei's willingness to choose Liaodong had its own reasons. In history, Jingzhao Wei's really developed period was in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and Jingzhao Wei's is far from being a top wealthy family at present.

"Is Xie Langjun going to Jicheng?"

"That's right! I heard that General Zhenbei wants to conduct a scientific expedition, regardless of his background. The younger brother was born in a poor family, and he had no future in Liangzhou, so he had to go to Jicheng to try his luck. Since my brother was born in a wealthy family in Jingzhao, why didn't he go to Chang'an to find a job, and why did he go all the way to Jicheng? ”

"Hehe, there are many people in Chang'an City who do nothing. How will I have a foothold? On the contrary, General Nazhenbei not only single-handedly reversed the decline of Guanzhong, but also vigorously rescued the people, so that the people of Guanzhong relied on him to survive. admired his brother and wanted to visit him in Jicheng. ”

"How about you and I on the road together?" Xie Ai saw that Wei Yan was personable, and he didn't have the arrogance of ordinary children of the family, so he couldn't help but invite him.

"I don't dare to ask for ears if I want to!" Wei Jian readily agreed.

After waiting for a long time, Xie Ai and Wei Yan got on the ferry. Xie Ai was the first to enter the cabin, and when he found his place, he moved his ass. Make room for Wei Yan so that the two of them can sit together.

The journey was very good, the passenger ship arrived at the east bank smoothly, after getting out of the cabin, Xie Ai and Wei Wei got on a bus and carriage in Hequ City, put away their luggage, and after giving the coachman the fare, they were ready to continue to continue along the cement road. It was the first time that both men had ridden in such a long-distance carriage. I couldn't help but be curious, and sat in the spacious and comfortable carriage and looked around.

Wei Wei touched the wooden carriage. His face was full of excitement, "Xie Langjun, I had heard that General Zhenbei was a genius, but I didn't expect that the carriage would have such a purpose?" This not only makes it convenient for ordinary people to travel far away, but also increases the income of the government, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Huh. I was not interested in the carriage, but was extremely curious about the flat and straight cement road under the wheel. Cement is such a good thing! I didn't feel the slightest sense of turbulence in the next place, such a thing comparable to Qin Zhidao, if it was used to transfer troops, it would definitely be very convenient and fast. ”

"Yes, I heard that cement is widely used in Youyan. It is used to build bridges, road sections, etc., and the quality has been greatly improved compared to before. Look at this cement road, it is definitely comparable to the straight road of Qin Shi! ”

Xie and Wei talked happily, but saw that the moving bus and horse-drawn carriage stopped on the side of the road, and the passengers couldn't figure out what was going on, so they made a noise, and the driver hurriedly got off the bus to find out the news. Xie Ai looked out of the window and saw a group of Liaodong Army soldiers in front of him, intercepting passing vehicles, as if something big had happened.

After a while, the coachman came back and explained to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen...... Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Due to the dispatch of the Liaodong Army, the passage is temporarily prohibited! Don't worry, please wait for a while, and after the Liaodong Army passes, the carriage will set off immediately. ”

As soon as the coachman finished speaking, he saw thousands of neatly arranged soldiers of the Liaodong Army coming from afar, their majestic and high-spirited eyes without squinting, lined up in three rows, forming three columns, taking neat steps, slowly passing by the carriage.

This shocking scene left a deep impression on everyone, who had never seen such a disciplined army.

"The Liaodong Army deserves to be a world-famous strong soldier!" Xie Ai muttered to himself.

"I don't know which Hu tribe should be unlucky, it is said that since the general of Zhenbei is overpowering the world, Hulu's life is not as good as day by day."

"Isn't it? If you want to say that you have to fight Hulu, you have to count the Liaodong army to be powerful, and you are stunned to wipe out hundreds of thousands of Hulu. ”

"Not only that, but General Zhenbei also loves the people like a son, not only distributing land, cattle, horses, and livestock to the common people, but also building a mathematics hall for his children to go to school."

After a stick of incense, the Liaodong army gradually moved away, but its impact was far from being eliminated, the passengers in the carriage talked to each other warmly, and Wei Jian and Xie Ai curiously pricked up their ears to listen.

"Who is that?"

Xie Ai followed Wei Yan's finger and looked out, and saw several Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes walking towards him. Everyone who saw it along the way behaved respectfully and respectfully, which made Xie Ai and Wei Yan very curious.

"I don't know."

"Hehe, when I saw that the two little brothers came to Youzhou for the first time, there are no locals who don't know how to explain the teachings. Those were all well-known Taoist leaders in the teachings, and they were loved and admired by the people everywhere. ”

"Teachings?" Wei Yan was thoughtful when he heard this, after all, he was born in a family, and he knew more secrets of Liaodong than Xie Ai, and he was no stranger to teaching.

"What? Wei Langjun knows how to teach? ”

"I know a little bit about it, I heard that expounding religion is one of the most advantageous means for General Zhenbei to naturalize the Hu people in various places, and it is precisely by expounding Liaodong that hundreds of thousands of Hu Lu can be driven to work for him."

"Isn't General Zhenbei worried about religious backlash?"

"Who knows? If you want to come to the hero of General Zhenbei, there must be a way to deal with it. ”

Soon the carriage carried everyone into the territory of Youzhou, the current Youzhou is not as good as a few years ago, with the development of various policies to revitalize the economy of Youyan, Youzhou has become the richest and most peaceful land at present.

……

As soon as February began, the land of China, which had been quiet for a winter, was once again rekindled.

Just when Liaodong was preparing to take the merger of states, he suddenly found that the heroes of the south and the north were also not to be outdone. First of all, the southern foot of Yinshan Tuoba Xianbei broke out in civil strife for the position of Da Dan Yu, and then a fierce conflict broke out between the cavalry of the Qi nationality and the Qingzhou soldiers on the Hebei and Qing fronts, and finally even the Huainan Zu Ti was also involved.

"Returning to the lord, fierce battles broke out in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and Shi Le personally led an army of 100,000 to fight in order to capture Qingzhou. In addition, the ancestor who was stationed in Huaiyin and the ancestor of Yuzhou sent an army of 30,000 to the north to attack Xuzhou. ”

"It's so hilarious! I didn't expect that all parts of the country were beaten into a pot of porridge. ”

"Aha, the more lively the fight, the better!"

Maybe Wei Shuo didn't know that most of the reason why various places were rushing to fight for territory was stimulated by Liaodong. In recent years, Liaodong has become stronger and stronger, so that ambitious people from all over the country can't bear the loneliness and send troops to all directions.

"Huainan doesn't have to worry about it first, with the ability of Zu Ti, isn't it easy to deal with the little Wang Sang and Zhao Gu? There is only one line in Qingzhou, and Cao Wei is afraid that he is not Shile's opponent! ”

"Didn't the lord send 30,000 reinforcements?"

"You don't know how powerful Shiler is! 30,000 people may not be able to block the Shile soldiers, and Laoshan Qingdao Port is one of the important sources of taxes in Liaodong, so there must be no mistakes! Just in case, I intend to transfer the four-box infantry to Laoshan again, plus the original garrison, which is enough to deal with any crisis. (To be continued.) )
