Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In the past, although the Lantern Festival was also one of the traditional folk festivals, the official did not attach much importance to the festival. It was not until last year that Youyan vigorously promoted the exposition of teaching, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, as an extremely important day for expounding the teaching, became one of the most important festivals in eastern Liaoning.

According to the teachings, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the last day of the Yuan Shi Tianzun's chaotic creation in the family, and after the fifteenth Tianzun will live in chaos and return to the universe. In order to send off the Great Heavenly Venerable, people and believers from all over the world will release lantern boats to send good wishes.

On this day, Wei Shuo put on new clothes and took Pei Ying'er, Gao Juan, Song Yingying and other wives and concubines to participate in the Lantern Festival celebration organized by Liaodong.

After the transformation of the Jicheng, the scale is huge, and the Yongding River passes through the city, the buildings on both sides stand upright, the willows on the bank are shady, the grass is delicious, the Lantern Festival celebration is held on the bank of the Yongding River.

The Yongding River waterway has been widened, and has now become an extremely important water transport channel in Jicheng, and some of the cargo ships from the south to the north directly land on the shore of Yanguo, and then enter Jicheng along the Yongding River.

At present, it is the Lantern Festival, in order to celebrate with the government and the people, Wei Shuo specially gave Liaodong Wenwu a three-day holiday, and for a while, the Washe restaurant in Jicheng was very lively.

If it was a few years ago, the people of Youyan didn't believe that they could live a good life, but fortunately, Wang Jun, who created evil, died, and there was a general Wei who loved the people, in the eyes of the people, as long as General Zhenbei was safe and sound, there was hope for their lives. Just on the occasion of the Lantern Festival, the people congratulated General Zhenbei on a long life.

When Wei Shuo's car appeared on the street, the people crowded on both sides cheered, and the restaurants on both sides of the street were already crowded with rich people watching the excitement. They booked a window facing the street in the restaurant on both sides. In order to condescendingly appreciate the demeanor of the general of Zhenbei.

It's just that in the private banquet on the whole floor, there is a room on the third floor where the guests are slightly different.

This room is located at the east end of the south side of the third floor of the restaurant, so that guests can enjoy the street scenery from the window and avoid being disturbed by the outside world. Sitting in the room was none other than Qingzhou's envoy Le'an's domestic Shi Tianhua.

Faced with a table full of wine and delicacies, Tian Hua was not interested. Although the entourage repeatedly persuaded each other during the banquet, Tian Hua only stopped at the point, just signaling that everyone didn't have to care about him and just had fun.

A slight cold wind blew in through the open window, slightly dissipating the strong smell of the roasted meat and fish in the house, and after the cold wind, the heat emitted by the barbecue charcoal fire gradually disappeared, so that everyone in the house couldn't help but shiver.

Tian Hua leaned against the window and looked out against the railing, and everywhere he saw was the bustling crowd on the street, since entering Jicheng. What touched him the most was the neat streets. He thought that Linzi and Guanggu City were prosperous enough, but after arriving in Xiangping and Jicheng, he realized what a small thing is.

Liaodong is really a prosperous scene!

The people are rich and the things are rich, the kings are wise and virtuous, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers who can easily defeat Hu Lu and the strong Kou, and Liaodong has begun to show a bit of hegemonism. Who would have thought that the little Yantian envoy who was under Cao Wei's command would toss such a foundation in a few years?

Now Liaodong has taken all the two states of Youping, if there is no accident in the future. Yongzhou and Bingzhou are afraid that it will be difficult to escape the hands of Liaodong. Liaodong recovered Yonghe and Liangzhou, which force will be Liaodong's opponent in the future? Where is the way out for Qingzhou?

Last year, Cao Wei was bewitched by the Qingzhou family. Taking advantage of the defeat of the Han army, he brazenly played the banner of the Jin room. After first receiving the canonization of King Langya, Cao Wei was very excited to realize his long-term wish for one day, but as Shi Le went south to Qingzhou, he realized how reckless his actions were.

It's just that there is no regret medicine to buy in the world, so Cao Wei had to knock out his teeth and swallow blood. Fortunately, Cao Wei has been in charge of Qingzhou since he took charge. He had never plundered the place, treated the scholars very well, and the Qingzhou family was worried about being retaliated by Shile, so they fully supported Qingzhou to resist the enemy.

The battle between the two sides lasted for more than two months, until after the cold winter. Shile stopped the attack for the time being.

Cao Wei knew that he was not Shile's opponent, and in order not to be annexed by him, he had to find a way to ask for help from the outside world. Among them, Liaodong is the most important foreign aid in Qingzhou, and Cao Wei, Tian Hua and others believe that only with the help of Liaodong can Qingzhou have hope of defeating Shile.

What he saw and heard in Liaodong along the way, and saw the strength of Liaodong, Tian Hua had to start worrying about the future of Qingzhou. Because he knew that even if Qingzhou defeated Shile with the help of Liaodong this time, who could he rely on to defeat Liaodong in the future?

Just as Cao Wei was thinking about his thoughts, there was a sudden cheer outside the window, it turned out that Wei Shuo had ordered to praise the teachers, doctors, craftsmen, and farmers who had performed well under Liaodong last year. When the list of commendations was read out, there was a thunderous roar of joy when he went around.

Then the people began to sing and dance to praise Wei Shuo's boundless kindness, and Wei Shuo smiled and enjoyed with the people. It wasn't until sunset that the whole celebration came to an end, and the people who had been excited all day rushed home satisfied, and after dinner, there were large lantern riddles and lantern boat activities.

At this time, Wei Shuo wanted to hold a banquet in the Wei Mansion to entertain the old men of Jicheng Township, Liaodong Wenwu, and the main mother Pei Yinger and others were responsible for entertaining the female dependents.

Wei Zheng, who appeared by chance during the banquet and was less than two years old, turned out to be more popular than Wei Shuo himself, everyone looked at the sturdy little Wei Zheng, and couldn't help but think in their hearts that they could really enjoy such peaceful years for a long time.

The dinner was set up in the garden, and the servants used the hundred flower lanterns made of glass to create a beautiful stage, and the top musicians of the Great Jin Kingdom sat around the stage, playing moving movements, combined with the intoxicating aroma of fine wine, making people flutter like immortals.

Wei Shuo did enough to be close to the people on such an occasion, and talked warmly with the surrounding villagers in a gentle and dignified tone. Suddenly, even he himself was in a trance, as if he was born like this, and at this moment he felt that he was no longer a lonely ghost in another world, but the real founder of the prosperous era of China.

After the dinner, Wei Shuo still couldn't relax, Tian Hua had been waiting for a long time, and he had to drag his tired body to receive the other party in person. In fact, it is not too late to see Tian Hua again until tomorrow, but Wei Shuo is very concerned about the situation in Qingzhou, so he personally met Tian Hua as soon as the banquet ended.

"Le'an Neishi Tianhua meets General Zhenbei."

Wei Shuo looked at Tian Hua, who was bending down to salute, and saw that the other party was about forty years old, and when he was in the prime of life, he looked a little tired, and he thought that he had broken his heart recently in order to help Cao Wei defend Qingzhou.

"Well, speaking of which, I have to thank Tanuchi Shi and Cao Thorn Shi, thanks to the help of the two of them, I have today's achievements in the future. Now that Cao Jianshi has returned to the dynasty anyway and has been retaliated against by Shile, it is reasonable that I can't stand by in Liaodong. However, in the coming year, Liaodong wants to recover and merge with the state, but I am afraid that it will not be able to draw too many troops to support Qingzhou. ”

Originally, Tian Hua was quite happy, but later, as Wei Shuo's voice changed, his mood suddenly sank, and after a little thought, he asked: "I don't know how many troops General Zhenbei can send south to Qingzhou?" ”

"If Qingzhou is willing to let go of Chengyang County and let Xuzhou wish its garrison to go north to Qingzhou, plus the local garrison in Laoshan, I think Liaodong can at least dispatch four-box foot cavalry."

"Quadruple riding?"

Tian Hua was slightly disappointed, but it was generally within his psychological tolerance. He had learned about the military system of Liaodong, and the four-compartment infantry cavalry was 12,000 people, and if Leling Shao continued was added, Qingzhou could get at least more than 30,000 reinforcements, which was enough to reverse the unfavorable situation in Qingzhou.

And Tian Hua knew very well that 30,000 reinforcements should be the most reinforcements that Qingzhou could accept, and Cao Wei should not be at ease if there were more. Since Wei Shuo occupied Youyan, Cao Wei was not as enthusiastic about Wei Shuo as before, and now if it weren't for Qingzhou's life and death, he would not have invited the Liaodong Army to station.

"In addition, Cao Tingshi learned that there are many armor weapons in Liaodong, and he is willing to pay for a batch, I don't know if it is possible?"

"No problem, you can talk to Lord Han Shou directly about this matter, he is the head of the Joint Logistics Department, responsible for foreign armor trade, and you can consult him about how much Qingzhou needs."

"Thank you, General Wei, for your generosity." (To be continued.) )
