Chapter 181: Wang Qi
After leaving Xiaquyang, two days later, Yuan Mai arrived at Jinyang, the seat of the state of Bingzhou, with his men and horses.
The new assassin Shi arrived, the local officials of Jinyang, the head of the gate lord clan all went out of the city to greet them, and the people also welcomed them, and the people outside the city of Jinyang were crowded, and the heads on both sides of the post road have been stretching for four or five miles.
Yuan Mai rode on a horse, smiling, and frequently greeted the officials and people on both sides of the road, and led the people into Jinyang City, and went straight to the "Thorn History Mansion" left by Gao Gan.
Jinyang is a famous city in the world, with a population of 140,000, since the Warring States period has been located in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, has a history of 500 years. In the Warring States Period, it has been the capital of the Jin State and the Zhao State, and after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, it was used as the seat of Taiyuan County, and after Liu Bang built the Han Dynasty, it became the seat of the state and the state, and it has always been an important town in the north, and its status is not under Yecheng.
After Yuan Mai entered the city, he couldn't take a break, and ordered Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun to take over the garrison of Jinyang City, reorganize the troops, and let Tian Yu temporarily take charge of local political affairs. The Thorn History Mansion was handed over to Lu Lingqi and Zhao Zhi to take care of the arrangements, hire maids, tidy up the house, and when it was cleaned up, they went south to Hanoi to take over their families, and in the future, they would regard Jinyang as their own nest.
Compared with Hanoi, Jinyang's geographical advantages are obvious, and there is a Huguan in the south. There is the Great Wall in the north across the grassland, and the Yanmen Pass is insurmountable. Jinyang City has been built for many years, the city is high and the wall is thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, compared to the Yellow River, it is easy to be attacked by Hanoi Zhisu Wen County, it is simply an iron wall, impregnable.
Jinyang is located in the center of the state and has fertile land. There is a wide range of fertile land and many residents. As the military and political center of the state, Jinyang can pass through Yanmen and Yunzhong in the north; east to Wei County and Zhao State in Jizhou; To the south, Shangdang and Xihe; The post road extends in all directions, and the avenue is smooth. The wide Fen River passes through the city and leads directly to the Yellow River downstream, where you can boat on the water surface and reach the three counties of Xihe, Pingyang and Hedong below, with convenient water and land transportation and convenient transportation.
"A good place, it is really the cradle of hegemony!" Stand at the head of Jinyang City. Look at the style of this historic city. Yuan Mai couldn't help but sigh.
I saw that the people in the fields outside the city had begun spring ploughing, and the oxen ploughed and the people ploughed, a busy scene, and I thought that it would be a yellow and clear piece in autumn. The trees on both sides of the post road have grown green shoots. A thriving scene.
The houses in the city are like that. Shops are lined up. The streets are bustling with people, and the cries of hawkers come and go. Most of the people have smiles on their faces, and a prosperous scene is especially rare in this troubled era.
"Back then, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan raised troops from Taiyuan, established the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and all countries came to the dynasty, which established the status of the Han people in the world. This time, since I have the opportunity to enter this famous capital of the world, I will also do something vigorous and not lose Li Yuan's hegemony! Engrave your name in the history books, and you will not pass through this time in vain! ”
Staring at the Fen River not far away, with its clear water, Yuan Mai's heart was surging, and he secretly made an oath in his heart. I have the urge to write a poem, but unfortunately I didn't think of a poem that fits this artistic conception, so I had to give up.
Yuan Mai suddenly had a state of land in his hands, and the originally abundant talents suddenly felt that it was not enough. It is imperative that most of the staff and generals from Hanoi and Binh Duong be transferred to Bingzhou to take up posts, and then assigned to local governments to manage government affairs.
The territory in his hands has increased from two counties to six counties: Taiyuan, Shangdang, Leping, Xinxing, Yanmen, and Yunzhong, and the people under his rule have also increased from more than 400,000 in Hanoi and Binh Duong to 1.7 million.
All kinds of cumbersome things came to his face, and Yuan Mai couldn't arrange it for a while, and he had a headache. He repaired a letter and sent people to Hanoi, and recruited Tian Feng, a military division, to discuss political affairs and arrange the political and military affairs of each county.
Four days later, Tian Feng came to Jinyang with 300 guards.
When the sun sets, the horse overlooks the Jinyang, only to see the north and south from the city, like a dragon chair; The Fen River meanders from the foot of the city to the south, the river surface is sprinkled with the morning glow, just like a jade belt, looking at it from a distance, it actually has the spirit of a king.
Tian Feng knew a little about feng shui divination, rode a horse to overlook the beautiful scenery of Jinyang, and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that Jinyang would have a king's spirit, it seems that Yuan Xianyong has a lot of hope for achieving hegemony!" Perhaps, the Yuan family can really go one step further and replace the Liu family to become the number one family in the world! ”
After reading Feng Shui, Tian Feng became more determined in his heart to work for Yuan Mai. This young man, from the youth and recklessness when he was just starting out, has gradually gained the demeanor of a leader, every move, relaxed, like a person who has achieved great things, there will definitely be nothing wrong with following him!
Tian Feng entered Jinyang City and saw Yuan Mai, who was promoted to the state assassin history, and had a pleasantry. After gossiping, they went straight to the point, discussing the political appointments and military deployments of the entire state. After a long day of discussion, the two finally settled on a plan.
After Jinyang was used as a place of governance, Hanoi's status declined, and there was no longer a need to garrison heavy troops in Hanoi, leaving only some men and horses to garrison. Therefore, Yuan Mai appointed Tian Chou as the Taishou of Hanoi and presided over the affairs of Hanoi, and Gao Shun led 8,000 men to garrison Hanoi to confront Cao's army on the other side.
One of the two is in charge of political affairs, and the other is in charge of military affairs, each performing his own duties. Because Xu Sheng of Mengjin wanted to build a sailor, he continued to stay in place, build ships, and practice water warfare day and night. The remaining 12,000 men and horses were led by Hao Zhaohe, and the army entered Taiyuan, and then waited for dispatch.
There were only 15,000 troops stationed around Jinyang, and it was necessary to send them to the counties, and only 12,000 troops from Hanoi were not enough to arrange defenses.
Therefore, Yuan Mai sent a message to Pingyang and ordered Wang Ling to lead 4,000 people to Taiyuan to wait for the dispatch, leaving 7,000 people to guard Pingyang. The post of Taishou is still held by Fu Hu, and Koji Yi controls the military, partnering with one article and one martial force to avoid a situation of self-respect for the army.
Within a few days, the men and horses of Hanoi and Binh Duong arrived in Jinyang, and the generals came to meet Yuan Mai.
After the greetings, Yuan Mai assigned tasks to his generals. Ordered Hao Zhao to serve as the Taishou of Yanmen, led 5,000 people to the north of Yanmen, stationed in Mayi, and sat in the north to guard against the Huns entering the Kou.
He ordered him to serve as the Taishou of Shangdang, and led 5,000 people to settle in Shangdang to prevent the Huns in the adjacent Xihe County from entering and plundering. Sima Fu was transferred from Hanoi to Leping County to serve as the Taishou, and after some arrangements, he was finally busy with government affairs. (To be continued......)
