Chapter 66: To Yizhou

After staying here with Zhao Yun for a few days and contacting the low-level military attachés below, Hu Li continued to go north to Yanmen County. In Yanmen County, he only met Chen Gong, and did not see Zhang Liao, who had been staying in Qiyuan County in Shangjun after leading his troops to capture the entire Bingzhou.

Qiyuan County is the first line of defense in the defense division of Bingzhou and Liangzhou, and Zhang Liao went there to supervise the construction of defenses. Hu Li was very relieved to hear that Zhang Liao was so loyal to his duties, precisely because of the generals Zhao Yun, Xiahoulan, Gao Shun, Gao Lan, Zhang Jaw, and Zhang Liao trained the army for Hu Li, guarded the territory, and never slackened for a moment. Under Hu Li's rule, he can be safe and sound, and Hu Li himself can patrol around, not because of the smoke of gunfire in the government, Hu Li is also busy fighting fires everywhere and is tired of running for his life.

After a few days of entrenchment at Chen Gong, Hu Li learned about the current basic situation of Bingzhou, and the process of conquering Bingzhou was not much different from what Chen Gong expected, and it didn't take much effort at all. Zhang Liao marched all the way, most of the city was falling from the wind, and the few who dared to resist were taken down by Zhang Liao without holding out for a few days.

The policies implemented by Chen Gong in several counties of Bingzhou were borrowed from the policies implemented by Hu Li in Changshan State, and then improved according to local conditions. They all sent henchmen to temporarily manage the city, and the restrictions were gradually relaxed after the implemented policies and appointed officials gradually became in tune with the people of the city. Although Chen Gong was also complaining to Hu Li, saying that there was still a great lack of internal affairs talents in Bingzhou, Hu Li had no good way, so he could only temporarily take the top with the small officials who had a very good reputation, and barely maintain the normal operation of the cities in Bingzhou.

Fortunately, under Hu Li's rule, schools were being built and education was promoted for free, and in another year and a half, the earliest batch of students in Changshan State would be able to barely fill the official vacancies in the country. Hu Li also thought about sending Jia Xu to Bingzhou at first to assist Chen Gong in handling the political affairs of Bingzhou, but seeing that the Guandu War was about to begin, Hu Li still left Jia Xu in Changshan Kingdom and asked him to keep an eye on the latest movements of Yuan and Cao.

As for Zhang Xiu, Hu Li did not tell Zhang Xiu about Zhang Xiu's uncle's wife, Zou, in his own house, and Hu Li had already discussed it with Zou when he was a concubine. The past has passed, except for Hu Li, no one in the house knows the origin of the Zou family before, the current Zou family is just Hu Li's woman, just a mother of two children, and anything in the outside world has nothing to do with the Zou family anymore. Therefore, Hu Li respected the choice of the Zou family and did not tell Zhang Xiu, so as not to be self-defeating and provoke the incident of losing love with Cao Cao, Dian Wei, eldest son Cao Ang, and beloved nephew Cao Anmin.

After bidding farewell to Chen Gong, Hu Li inspected several counties in the state, and after seeing that everything was indeed stable as Chen Gong said, Hu Li went to Qiyuan County, Shang County. After arriving at Qiyuan County, Hu Li met Zhang Liao on the city wall, who was urging the construction of fortifications. Hu Li fully affirmed Zhang Liao's fruitful results in conquering and annexing the prefectures, and highly praised Zhang Liao's good attitude of not being arrogant and careless.

Zhang Liao, who was praised by Hu Li, said modestly: "The capture of the state is based on the brilliant achievements of the lord and the prestige of Wenhou in the past, and Zhang Liao really does not dare to take credit." As for urging the construction of fortifications to prevent the enemy from attacking, this is Zhang Liao's duty. By the way, this time Zhang Liao obtained 30,000 war horses in the process of conquering the state, so Zhang Liao formed 15,000 light cavalry and 15,000 infantry troops. At present, we are training intensively, and I believe that we will be able to protect ourselves when the enemy is attacking. ”

"Okay, General Wen Yuan can handle these things on his own, I fully believe in General Wen Yuan's ability and loyalty. By the way, General Wen Yuan can pay more attention to Han Sui and Ma Teng in Liangzhou, and secretly send people to collect the terrain and intelligence of Liangzhou, so as to prepare for our general's attack on Liangzhou. ”

"The last general commands."

On the tenth day of November 199, Hu Li, who had been here in Zhang Liao for a few days, decided to go to Yizhou to see Zhu Rongli and their children, after all, Hu Li had promised Zhu Rongli that he would visit her and their children for two years at most. When Hu Li left Yizhou at that time, it was the first month of 198 BC, and it would be exactly two years until the first month of next year, and there were two months left to reach the deadline agreed with Zhu Rongli. In addition, Qiyuan County, where Hu Li is now located, is relatively close to Yizhou, and it enters the territory of Yizhou through the Sili area, so Hu Li decided to take this opportunity to fulfill his promise to Zhu Rongli.

Because the road to Yizhou is long, and it is someone else's territory, Hu Li asked his own soldiers to return to Zhending City in Changshan Country, leaving only Hu Li's own people on the road. Because Hu Li can change between two horses if he is on a road alone, and because of the golden eagle and owl on duty during the day and night, it is more convenient for Hu Li to avoid some troubles alone. Moreover, after Hu Li domesticated two horses, he could make a soft sedan chair in the middle of the two horses, and then let the golden eagle or owl guide the way, and he could sleep comfortably and hurry.

Hu Li's pet space still houses Xiong Er and an elephant, and the remaining space is to prepare to collect a war horse at a critical moment, abandon the other, and then control two strengthened golden eagles to fly with him over the enemy's blockade area, just like being blocked by Sun Ce on the mountain at that time. Hu Li's current two war horses are all BMW selected in Zhao Yun's military camp, although they are not as good as the Chitu before the enhancement, but they are not much different from Xiaobai before the reinforcement.

Hu Li set out from Qiyuan County, Shangjun, passed through Zuo Fengyi and Right Fufeng in the Sili area, and entered Hanzhong County. Along the way, Hu Li put one horse into the space to sleep, rode the other horse, and after a period of time, they exchanged each other, and at night, the two horses walked slowly, and Hu Li slept in a soft sedan between the two horses. With the vision of a golden eagle and an owl, Hu Li rode alone, fast along the way, and rarely encountered trouble.

Every time he arrived in a city in Yizhou, Hu Li led his horse into the city, Hu Li was alone, with only a simple package on his body, and he did not carry a weapon. Therefore, there is no war in the city of Yizhou after Hu Li paid some entry tax and then let go, although some eyes are hot Hu Li led by the BMW, but looking at Hu Li's height of nearly one meter nine, extremely majestic physique, ordinary people do not dare to provoke indiscriminately, Hu Li came to Chengdu all the way. Hu Li's original intention was to stay in Chengdu for two days and then rush to Jianling City in Yizhou County, where the tribe of the vultures was near Fushui, hundreds of miles south of Jianling City.
