Chapter 183: Dong Zhuo
Yuan Shao returned to Beijing, Zhang Qin went to scold Song Xiao, and Li Qin stayed in Gaonu County, there were too many things here, and he had to deal with it with all his might.
Although the matter of dividing land and exempting taxes is limited to Gaonu County, the common people are the fastest to spread the news, and it is only a few days of effort, and half of the people in the prefecture know about it, and the news is still spreading, and there is a tendency to spread to other states and counties.
As for those people who have land in their hometowns, it is not easy for them to leave their hometowns and go to Gaonu County to mix fields, but after hearing the news of tax exemption, they can't help but be moved, and some people even began to complain about the local magistrates.
The people blame the magistrates for why they can't be like Li Qin, everything is for the sake of the people, the current taxes are heavy, they have been received ten years later, and many elderly people feel even more at a loss, whether they can live for another ten years, it is not certain, but the tax is paid first, what is this called!
Those who can complain like this naturally don't go to Gaonu County, and those who don't go to Gaonu County naturally have family backgrounds, if they complain, how can the magistrate stand it? But all the magistrates in the prefecture could only listen to it with a hard head, and no one dared to report it, and no one dared to say that Li Qin was not a word. They all know very well, looking at Li Qin's tossing method, he has an idea about the position of the assassin in Bingzhou, Song Xiao is very likely to be squeezed out, and in the face of Li Qin, who is very likely to become their big boss, how dare they complain, is it a long life, or a long time?
Gaonu County, Li Qin is so tired that he can only sleep for two hours a day, and the Fujiao Army is the whole army, playing with his life to appease the people, to divide the land, Jia Xu with a group of temporarily recruited civil officials, anyway, as long as they can write, they can mix with a petty official in the Fujiao Army, who makes the lack of officials in the Fujiao Army serious, the literati of the poor family are considered to be picking up the cheap, and they can finally enter the official career, writing vouchers and issuing land deeds every day, and everyone is very busy.
In this case, it is too easy to recruit new soldiers, and it is to pick up, only the most elite ones, and the general physique is not needed, but dozens of kung fu have recruited tens of thousands of recruits, among which there are many Qiang people, all of whom are scattered and organized, and veterans lead new soldiers. Of course, the Fujiao Army can't get together the equipment for the recruits, so they can only wait until they return to Liangzhou.
When the food supported by Song Xiao arrived, Li Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief, with food, everything would be easy, and he didn't have to appease him all day long, if he was appeased, it was not as good as a bowl of porridge.
This said, Zhang Qin came back, and on the same day, Luoyang's envoy also arrived, and the messenger brought three things, one is that Li Qin defeated Li Wenhou, Fujiao Fort was promoted from the township to the county, and Li Qin's marquis was promoted by one level and became the Marquis of Fujiao County, which is a high lord; The second thing is that Song Xiao temporarily took over the post of Assassin of the Prefecture, and Li Qin was promoted to the Assassin of the Prefecture; The third thing is a supplementary explanation to the second one, why should Song Xiao be temporarily assassinated in Shi, and Li Qin can't go to the office immediately, because there is chaos in Liangzhou, and Li Qin must return to Liangzhou immediately to resist Liu Jiu, the king of the Huns who went south again.
One thing after another, and there is no time to stop. After Li Qin met the messenger, he had no choice but to urgently convene a military meeting and gather the generals together to discuss how to deal with it.
Li Qin first told everyone the news in Beijing, and the generals naturally congratulated them, and then they all calmed down, it is a good thing that Li Qin has become an official, but now their hometown is going to be copied by Liu Jiu, which is very bad, and everyone is in a hurry.
Li Qin said: "Although there are people in the court who are good officials, we can know anything first, but the news came from Beijing, and the time must have been delayed a lot, we don't even know, this is the scout's fault." Wu Danzi, what is your justification for this? ”
Wu Danzi heard Li Qin's roll call, his head buzzed suddenly, he was ordered to catch Bian Zhang, but he didn't catch it, Bian Zhang ran to the Central Plains, as if he was looking for some Taiping Dao, and didn't let him catch it, this was originally quite a hot thing, but now there is something even more infuriating, and as the leader of the scouts, he actually heard Li Qin say that there was something in his hometown, and he only knew that he could not afford such a big mistake!
Wu Danzi left his seat and lay on the ground, he said: "Back to Li Lang's words, the last general will put all his energy on the matter of grasping the side chapter because of this...... No, no, the last general has nothing to say, nothing to say, everything is at Li Lang's disposal. ”
Li Qin snorted, these people are busy, he also ignored the affairs of Liangzhou, and he didn't expect that his hometown was in danger of being copied, he himself was like this, not to mention his subordinates, so he couldn't blame Wu Danzi too much.
Li Qin said: "The news has been received in Beijing, and it has been passed on to us, presumably at this time, Liu Jiu on the grassland has already gone south, maybe they have all entered Beidi County, and our Fujiao Fort has been surrounded." ”
Speaking of which, he couldn't talk anymore, his parents at home were in Fujiao Fort, if Liu Jiu really copied his hometown, then he would have to fight with Liu Jiu, if the battle started, he would not die, even if he was asked to chase him to the grassland and grit his teeth, he would also lead the troops.
When the Fujiao generals heard this, everyone slapped their thighs and sighed, their families were in Fujiao Fort, and if something happened there, they really couldn't live.
Jia Xu's mood was quite stable, he said: "Fujiao Fort is not necessarily surrounded, if something happens at home, someone will already come to report it, how can it be delayed for so long, if I expect it to be good, then Liu Jiu has not yet assembled an army, and he has not officially gone south!" ”
Zhang Qin was also a little nervous, he said: "Yes, Liu Jiu was defeated by Li Lang last year, and it is estimated that he has not eased up this year, and the Huns have always lived scattered, if you want to assemble, I am afraid it will take a lot of time, and now you may not have entered Beidi County, even if you enter, it doesn't matter, other counties will send reinforcements, and Wei Yuanpi also has to send troops, so Li Lang, you don't have to be too anxious." ”
After thinking for a while, Li Qin suddenly said: "I understand, Liu Jiu would not have gone south, and his Huns also had to recuperate, it is impossible that after the new defeat, he will come to rob again so soon, he must have seen us come to fight Li Wenhou, so he wanted to pick up a bargain, so he came." ”
Jia Xu also said: "Exactly." However, I guess it is possible that Li Wenhou sent a letter to Liu Jiu after seeing that we were coming, begging Liu Jiu to go south to Liangzhou. In this way, he can solve his danger of Da Zhao, and secondly, he can also let Liu Jiu take revenge, killing two birds with one stone, Liu Jiu will go south, but Li Wenhou didn't expect him to lose so quickly, and Liu Jiu didn't expect it. ”
Li Qin said: "Could Liu Jiu have hesitated for a while, so he sent troops late?" ”
Jia Xu and the generals all nodded busily, thinking that this was very likely, and when Zhang Qin saw that everyone was nodding, he quickly nodded his head in agreement.
Li Qin said: "What is the reason, even if the analysis is thorough now, it is a vain analysis, we still have to come, we must return to the division immediately, it is best to stop Liu Jiu before he enters Fuping County, so as to avoid my Fujiao Fort from suffering from military disasters." ”
Shen Yi shouted: "Yes, yes, let's go back quickly, don't waste time here!" Before he set out on the expedition, he finally proposed to Qiao Nu, and Qiao Nu also agreed, they will get married after they go back, and a happy life is beckoning to him, can he not be in a hurry!
Li Qin has always been neat, he immediately ordered the whole army to form a team, sent Dian Wei and Wu Danzi as the vanguard, Wu Danzi is the first way, Dian Wei is the second way, leading the elite soldiers to the rescue first, to intercept Liu Jiu's Hun soldiers, and he himself led the army, and then followed.
The Fujiao Army here in Gaonu County can't take care of it, Li Qin asked Zhang Qin to take care of it on his behalf, as long as he stabilizes the situation first, and then waits for him to defeat Liu Jiu. Although Zhang Qin always regards himself as a hero and a big husband, in fact, he is not a big husband at all, he was already very scared when he heard that Liu Jiu led his troops south, Liu Jiu is not Li Wenhou, and Li Qin actually did not really defeat Liu Jiu, but he just used a trick to force Liu Jiu away, so when Zhang Qin heard that Li Qin asked him to stay in Gaonu County, he was almost moved to cry.
Zhang Qin said: "Li Lang will return to Fujiao Fort, and Gaonu County will be handed over to our family, and when our family has taken care of everything, we will immediately support you." ”
If you want to go back to the teacher, you have to leave quickly, and you can't delay for a day. The Fujiao Army was the vanguard of the two routes, one team set off at noon, and the other team set out at night, and Li Qin led the army the next day and rushed back to Fort Fujiao.
The army soon arrived at the Two Realms Mountain again, and was about to cross the mountain, but someone came from the front to report that the messenger from his hometown Fujiaobao had arrived.
When Li Qin heard this, he hurriedly asked the messenger to come to see him, and finally there was news, and he was about to die in a hurry. When the messenger saw Li Qin, he dismounted and shouted: "Li Lang, you can be regarded as coming back, Liu Jiu's army has entered Beidi County, and other counties will not fight, and they will go straight to our Fujiao Fort, it is estimated that the fort has been besieged in the past few days!" ”
Li Qin almost fell off his horse and asked, "Where are the reinforcements?" Which reinforcements came to the rescue, and Wei Thorn Shi Ke sent troops? ”
The messenger said: "Wei Thorn Shi's army has arrived, but there are only 5,000 men and horses, this army has entered Fuping County, intending to form a horn with our Fujiao Fort and disperse the strength of the Huns." Also, Deputy Fort Master Liu asked for help from the Western Regions nearby, and took Chongbao to ask Captain Wuji of the Western Regions to ask him to send troops to help. ”
Li Qin hurriedly said: "How many soldiers did Captain Wuji bring out to the rescue?" ”
The messenger's face turned pale, and he said: "He didn't send troops out, saying that he was afraid that Liu Jiu would lead his troops to turn around and attack the Western Regions, and he would keep his soldiers and horses to guard, so he couldn't come to support, but he accepted the heavy treasure gift and didn't return it!" ”
The muscles on Li Qin's face twitched, and he said: "I haven't paid attention to the affairs of the Western Regions before, who is that Wuji Lieutenant, this is not a thing, isn't he afraid that I will settle accounts with him after the autumn, and dare not do anything after receiving money, bastard!" "His hometown is about to be raided, and he can't be grumpy anymore.
The messenger said: "That captain is named Dong Zhuo!" ”
