Chapter 382: Returning to the Division

In the first year of Shengong, the entire Hebei Province was full of hunger and blood, and the Khitan fought for survival and did not hesitate to rebel against the Great Zhou. Although Li Quanzhong and Sun Wanrong only attacked the wealthy, they still could not avoid the murderous character of the Khitan soldiers, and the women of good families in Hebei were tragically ravaged.

But in any case, as the winter begins, the war tends to ease, the north is free of Turkic raids, Helong is free of Tibetan raids, and the Great Zhou seems to have entered a rare period of peace.

The Hebei defense line is also stable on the line from Cangzhou to Dingzhou, of course, although Wu Youyi's Pingzhou army did nothing, but it seemed to be nailed to the side of Yingzhou and Youzhou, Sun Wanrong sent generals to attack several times, but did not capture, Wu Youyi did not dare to fight, so it was stalemate. Half of the Khitan New City has been built, and the Khitan people have almost moved into the city.

Because of his injuries, Li Qianzhong retreated to Yingzhou. At this moment, after two months of survival, his life has finally come to an end.

During this time, Sun Wanrong had already acted on behalf of the Khan, and what should have been confessed had already been explained. On this day, Li Qianzhong felt that the deadline was approaching, so he summoned important Khitan generals to prepare for the final farewell.

When the generals came one by one, Li Qianzhong slowly looked at the faces of the Khitan warriors, revealing a touch of hope, and then laughed loudly and said: "Khitan warriors, I will go first, take care of the generals!" Finally, he glanced at his wife, closed his eyes, his head drooped, and a generation of heroes died.

The generals silently bid farewell to the Khan with the Khitan salute, and then exited the room one by one. But the death of the khan could not be known to the Khitan soldiers and the Xi people, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Once the news comes out, I'm afraid that Wu Youyi's turtle will poke its head out. Not to mention the Xi clan, who are not very loyal.

Keeping it secret and not mourning, this is what Li Qianzhong asked before his death, but after all, he still has to carry out some simple rituals and put them first.

Due to Li Quanzhong's death, the Khitan was under Sun Wanrong's control, and the speed of attacking various places suddenly eased down. The people who fled in Hebei have also received great assistance.

Wei Prefecture Thorn Shi Di Renjie is an expert in governing the state and county, and Weizhou is located in the middle of Hebei Province. In Ji County, the empress originally sent Di Renjie here to appease the people in this area. Di Renjie also did not live up to the trust of the empress, of course, it is also related to her ability to govern. And open a position for relief. The public order in Weizhou was extremely good, and the people of Weizhou also responded to the call to form a militia of 3,000 people to guard against the Khitan.

Di Renjie inspected the city wall in addition to reading the newspaper every day, and during this time, he called on the people to build the city wall, and the city wall was also increased by one zhang. But there were so many refugees that the whole city was a bit crowded. Fortunately, Di Renjie handled it properly, and the people were safe. Some people even set up an ancestral hall for Di Renjie.

All this information has to pass through Yan Ruyu's hands. Sent to Liangzhou, handed to Wuqi by No. 68.

Guo Zhiyun and Xue Ne were delayed for two months in Mobei. After initially killing thousands of fleeing post-Turkic soldiers, there was no gain, and if it weren't for the help of Hui Khan, it is estimated that they would have starved to death in Mobei. When I returned to Liangzhou, Liangzhou was already covered in silver makeup. Wu Chu didn't say anything, anyway, according to the merit, the empress's reward had arrived, and the two of them were promoted to one level.

At this time, Wu Chu was also ready to return to Beijing to report on his work, after all, the 100,000 troops stayed here, and the daily cost of money and food was a big number. In this era, fighting wars every year can drag down the entire country, unlike in previous lives, wars can also stimulate the economy.

After arranging everything, Wu Chu left Guo Yuanzhen in Liangzhou, he was useful, and he also put Wu Youxu's Jishi army in Shanzhou, and ordered it to build beacons on the top of the mountains of various key roads to prevent a sudden attack by Tubo, although this situation will not be for the time being, but it is difficult to guarantee that Qinling will not go crazy.

originally wanted to take Wei Xiaoyue with him, but Wei Xiaoyue refused to go to Luoyang, looking at the erect belly, Wu Chu left three Turkic women to take care of it, and asked Zhang Liang to take care of it. So Wu Chuan led 30,000 elites and slowly went south.

In the Wei Palace, Princess Taiping's peony garden is packing up, and the slaves are busy, and the entire peony garden is rarely so lively.

Princess Taiping has already made it clear to the empress that she wants to go to Chang'an to pay tribute to her father Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, because she has not gone for many years, and the empress is not good for Princess Taiping not to go.

As for how much the empress has feelings for Gaozong, except for herself, no one really knows, but less than a year after the death of Gaozong Li Zhi, there was the first face, and it is difficult to say that her feelings are deep, not to mention, a few years later, the dynasty has changed. In her conscience, she also had to agree to Princess Taiping's request.

Princess Taiping went to Chang'an for a purpose, one was to embarrass in the house, and the other was for Wu Zheng, who was about to return. So her behind-the-scenes military advisor Jian yì went to Chang'an to pay tribute to her father, and she agreed.

Yuwen Su'e didn't know why the peony garden was so lively, but a slave came with news that it was packing up in the peony garden, as if she was going to go far away. Yuwen Su'e pondered for a while, and then ignored it, Princess Taiping was a concubine, and they were not qualified to ask what she wanted to do. As for whether Princess Taiping has anything to confess, she will confess.

But obviously, Princess Taiping didn't explain anything, and the next morning, she hurried on the road, where she went, only Wu Yu'er knew, and only sent her maidservants to inform the courtyards in the evening.

Wu Chuan led the army slowly south, and was treated by the Assassin County Commanders all the way, and Wu Zong did not refuse, except for the beautiful women, he gladly accepted. When he returned to Shendu this time, he could think of those wolf-like wives and concubines, and thinking about it could make his legs tremble, so for several months, he had almost been recuperating.

A man can't satisfy his woman, that's a failure as a man, without a strong physique, he doesn't have to think about marrying three wives and four concubines, three palaces and six courtyards, and so on. Otherwise, if you add so many deep resentful women, isn't it a sin? If you put on a colored hat again, you will be humiliating.

What's more, after reading dozens of women, it is difficult for him to meet a woman who makes his heart move, and it is difficult to have the passion of the newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and. Between men and women, that's just the same thing.

Along the way, Wu Chuan also inquired about the population status of each prefecture and county. He decided to wait for himself to take power, and then prepare to conduct a household survey, and after the reform of the land system, he could abolish the slavery system in a big way, and all the people in the world are good!

However, the process will be long. And instability will also occur, but since he is a traverser, he will not change anything. Can you still call it a traverser?

Now, all the way down, first have a preliminary understanding of these states and counties, and it is convenient to formulate implementation strategies when the time comes. As a result, the trip was delayed.

From Liangzhou to Chang'an. I walked for 20 days!

The winter sun is warm. Since passing through Chencang, I came to Fufeng, and when I arrived in this Fufeng County, there is a place that Wu Shui wants to go to in his past and present lives.

That is the Famen Temple in the town of Famen, located in the northwest of Fufeng. Shakyamuni's Buddha relics are enshrined in the holy mound, which is just a stupa. Because it enshrined the Buddha's finger relics of Sakyamuni, it was listed as a royal temple in the Tang Dynasty. Even the Empress. They are still supporting Famen Temple, which has reached its peak today. There are more than 3,000 monks.

A group of people dressed in civilian clothes, they came to the Famen Temple, the Famen Temple is not an ordinary temple, the novice who guards the door is also quite eye-catching, seeing these people are burly and tall, and their bearing is extraordinary, but there is a vague aura of slaughter, and their hearts are suddenly worried, after all, this Famen Temple is dedicated to the Buddha's Buddha finger relics, not careless, so he quickly notified the host.

Wu Chu and the others were stunned for a moment, and then, Wu Chu laughed and said, "It seems that this monk treats us as strongmen." Liu County Order, why are there so many monks in this Famen Temple? ”

Science student Liu Gong is the first year of civilization Jinshi, now by the county Cheng to the county order, it is also very fast, the King of Wei Road through the wind, is his honor, so he accompanied the King of Wei to pay homage to the Buddha's finger relics, if in the past, the King of Wei may not have that opportunity, but today everyone knows that the King of Wei will inherit the unification of Wu and Zhou, Famen Temple wants to continue to prosper, naturally have to give the King of Wei this face.

However, what I didn't expect was that the people brought by King Wei were all burly, and there were indeed many strongmen in the Qishan area, but no matter what, Famen Temple treated it like this, which would definitely make King Wei dislike, and even he himself would be affected by the good impression in King Wei's heart. Liu Xianling felt that he was derelict in his duties, so he bowed down and said: "Your Highness, this Famen Temple has been prosperous since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, even in the most deserted time, there are five or six hundred monks. ”

Instead, he said, "Your Highness, please let the lowly rank go first." ”

Wu Chu thought about it, then nodded and said, "It's okay, we're just passing by here and looking at the Buddha's bones." ”

Liu Xianling bowed down and advanced to Famen Temple.

Wu Zheng looked at the door of Famen Temple, and also sighed, during the Xianqing period, Gaozong repaired Famen Temple in order to support the Buddha's relics, and the current scale was left at that time. In addition, the empress is the goddess of the world, reaching the Cheng dΓΉ of the Buddha, on both sides of the temple gate, the tall stone tablets are the "Thousand Buddha Tablets" carved by the empress, and the engraved scriptures are the "Great Nirvana Sutra", the research value is very high, if there is a time shuttle, he may really bring it back, but obviously this can only be wishful thinking.

After a while, Liu Xian Ling walked out of the temple gate, his face was slightly bitter, he gave a deep salute, and said: "Your Highness, it is a humiliation and rudeness, the master of this Famen Temple, Master Miaozang, is seriously ill, and the Buddha's relics cannot be opened in person, if it is not for the emperor, ordinary people can not look at it." Your Highness, please cure the sins of the micro-ministers! ”

Wu Chu's heart suddenly froze, and after looking at the three gilded characters of Famen Temple, he smiled slightly, and said: "Since the director of Famen Temple is seriously ill, and the Buddha's relics can't be shown lightly, I'll go back later." ”

Wu Hei snorted and said, "Your Highness, give the order, I dismantle it!" What kind of bird Buddha refers to relics, in my old black eyes, it is a bone! ”

Wu Hei scolded happily, but Wu Chu said angrily: "What do you know? The Buddha pointed out that the relics were incarnated after the death of Shakyamuni, and only the monks with great wisdom and great merit would be formed. Don't blaspheme it in the future! ”

Wu Hei is also obedient and no longer talks nonsense.

Seeing that it was still early, he remembered that this place was not far from Qianxian, so it was better to go to worship Gaozong first, after all, when Gaozong was in power, although he had always been suspicious of him, he also gave him a lot of care.

Thinking like this, he glanced at Famen Temple again, then got on his horse and galloped towards Fufeng County.

When the sunset sprinkles the last rays of afterglow, the red glow fills the sky. Wu Chu rode a war horse and led the army to Qianxian, because there was a Qianling Tomb in Qianxian County, so there were a few garrisons guarding the mausoleum.

The army soon set up camp outside the city, and Li Chengze, the commander of Qianxian County, was the distant ancestor of the Li family, who was responsible for the management and repair of the Qianling Tomb. As soon as Wu Chuan set up camp, Li Chengze arrived. Wu Zheng didn't want to alarm Li Chengze, but now he can only meet each other.

After seeing the ceremony, Wu Chuan asked: "Li County's order doesn't need to be so polite, this king is just passing by here, and he is here to pay tribute to the emperor." ”

Li Xianling is a middle-aged man, and he is very surprised that Wu Zheng did this, after all, since Wu Zhou, almost no one dared to come to worship, even the heirs of Gaozong did not come. However, Princess Taiping has already arrived in Chang'an, and she must have come to worship in the past two days.

"King Wei is a person of faith, and I believe that the first emperor will see it in the spirit of heaven." Li Xianling bowed and said.

The corners of Wu Qi's mouth twitched, but he said, "Then there is an order from Lao Li County to go back and prepare some sacrificial things, thank you." ”

Immediately, Wu Hei threw a large bag of copper coins to Li Xianling, and Li Xianling hurriedly caught it, with a happy look on his face, just this weight, I'm afraid it will be at least twenty times.

That night, Wu Chu received the news that Princess Taiping was in Chang'an, and after a long night, he remembered Princess Taiping's plump carcass. (To be continued......)
