Li Zheng didn't know what Yang Feng was, and Li Zheng didn't know what he was capable of. But he knew one thing, Xu Huang had to be appeased.

It is a good deal to be able to exchange Yang Feng's order for Xu Huang's loyalty.

After Xu Huang surrendered, he was ordered to rectify the prisoners, but in half a day, they were properly disposed of. In Gaowolf City, there are more than 8,000 original white wave thieves, plus the camp of Tongtian Mountain and a group of thieves captured in Lishi City, a total of more than 30,000 people.

Li Zheng sent the white wolf with 5,000 foot soldiers, sent the Gao wolf's 8,000 captives to Lishi, and he himself led the army to Lin County with Xu Huang.

After the white wolf's department went south to this area, it divided 10,000 partial divisions to Lin County, besieging but not attacking. Lin County is no different from Gao Wolf, both are small towns, with only 10,000 troops, almost surrounding Lin County.

Yang Fengsuo led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, trapped in the city, and the outside world was cut off, as if he was blind. Faced with this situation, Yang Feng sent several troops and horses out of the city in the past two days, and tentatively carried out several attacks, but all of them were beaten back by light, and there were not a few soldiers who lost their troops.

Just when he was at a loss and almost desperate, Xu Huang came.

Yang was ordered to be moved by Xu Huang's words very lightly, and immediately opened the city and surrendered.

So far, Shangjun and Xihe have all been included in Li Zheng's bag. This war has come to a complete end.

Although the war is over, there are many affairs in all aspects.

First of all, because of the expansion of the territory, the defense line was lengthened, especially the border with the north of Dong Zhuo's forces, so it was necessary to set up a defense line at the junction of Xihe, the southern part of Shangjun and Hedong.

Secondly, the original defense area of the white wolf needs to advance to the east.

Away from the Shifu Palace, Li Zheng sat high-end, and the white wolf and other generals under the hall were lined up left and right.

"This battle is based on the Hetao, and a springboard to the east has been obtained, the established strategic objectives have been achieved, and all the armies have made meritorious achievements, and the Military Affairs Yuan will issue a commendation later." Li Zheng said with a smile: "As for Xu Huang and other generals, let's be a captain for the time being, and they will be promoted based on military merits in the future." ”

"Thank you, lord!"

Xu Huang, Yang Feng, Li Le, and Hu Cai all came out of the ranks, holding their fists and leading their lives.

Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "When you first join our army, you still don't know many rules, so you must get the military branch of Lingzhou Tai Academy to study before you can take office." ”

"Whoa!"

"As for the more than 40,000 prisoners, they must also go through the systematic training of our army, eliminate the old and weak, select the elite, and go through strict training before they can become regular soldiers!"

"The defense area of the White Wolf Department advanced eastward to Meiji, and began to penetrate Wuyuan in the north, the second county in Yunzhong and the Yanmen County in the east, and at the same time pay attention to guarding against Xianbei in the central part and the remnants of the Xiongnu on the left. In the case of a small-scale war, you do not need to ask me for instructions, you can make your own decision, but the details of the battle must be reported to the Military Affairs Yuan. ”

"Whoa!" The white wolf got up and clenched his fists to take his life.

"Gather the soldiers who stayed in the counties of Shangjun and Xihe County, take Gaonu as the center, and the camp of Tongtianshan as the corner, connect them to form a defensive line, and confront Hedong. Dispatch Lieutenant Bai Yu, the deputy general of the Li Luo Department of the Western Legion, to this point, temporarily take over the post of the chief general of the defense area! The defense area is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the White Wolf's department. ”

"Ordered Tianhe to order Fu Gan, immediately prepare to mobilize all kinds of materials and hoard them in Lishi."

"Issuing orders to all counties and counties, we must do our best to grasp the construction of people's livelihood, and there must be no slackness."

"The order was to recruit 50,000 slaves from Liangzhou to start building roads, water conservancy and other basic projects, and by the end of this year, the preliminary construction framework must be completed!"

One order after another was given directly or conveyed through the blue bird, without the slightest delay.

On the same day, the white wolf led his troops and horses to return north to Meiji and establish a defense area. Xu Huang and the other four took the middle and low-level officers who were still willing to join the army among the original white wave thieves and went to Lingzhou.

As for the prisoners, Li Zheng sent 5,000 foot soldiers to Baishuichuan and handed them over to Xun Ying, Wang Laohu and others for training.

However, in two days, all the soldiers who had been stationed in the counties all the way before had gathered, and the total number of Lishi infantry troops reached 7,000. Then, Li Zheng set about establishing a defensive line against Dong in the south.

Based on Gaonu and Tongtian Mountain, in these two places, a military camp was established in each of them, which were connected into a line and were horns of each other.

The camp of Tongtian Mountain chose the former site of the original camp of the White Wave thieves that was burned down. Tongtian Mountain originally belongs to the Luliang Mountains, which is a dangerous peak at the western foot of the southern end of the Luliang Mountains, guarding the main road leading from the West River to the east of the river. Strategic location is very important.

As for Gao Nu, Li Zheng left 10,000 elite soldiers the day before yesterday, and he was already working on setting up a big camp.

Ten days later, Bai Yu, the deputy general of the Dunhuang Nuluo Division, arrived at Lishi.

Li Zheng immediately appointed him as the commander of the defense line, temporarily commanding a total of 17,000 elite soldiers in Gaonu and the Tongtian Mountain battalion to guard the Gaonu-Tongtianshan first-line defense area.

Immediately, Li Zheng led the army and prepared to return to Liangzhou.

Starting from Lishi, Li Zheng led more than 7,000 cavalry, and walked through every county seat in Shangjun and Xihe County without hesitating the hardship of detours. One is to listen to the opinions of the new county commanders, and the other is to purge some evil tyrants and powerful households to pave the way for the work of county magistrates.

By the time he returned to the pasture with his army, it was already close to September.

At the night banquet, Li Zheng summoned his important ministers Xun You, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng, Zhang Shan, and even Xun Shuang, Xun Yan and others together.

"Drink it!"

Picking up the wine glass and drinking it all, Li Zheng said with a smile: "Before this battle, it was said that the envoy of Yizhou was coming, I don't know what the specific situation is?" ”

Xun You took a sip of wine elegantly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, first congratulate the lord on his victory in this battle!" ”

"Congratulations, my lord!"

Everyone in the hall shook their heads together.

Li Zheng laughed, felt comfortable, and said: "This battle is easy to hear, there is nothing to boast about." ”

"As for the matter of the envoy of Yizhou," Xun You paused, smiled, and said, "Your Majesty has to congratulate the lord again!" ”

"Oh?" Li Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Could it be that Liu Junlang is going to give Yizhou to me?" ”

"Haha, the lord is joking." Xun You's smile retracted, and said, "This time, Huang Gongheng, the envoy of Yizhou, not only brought a group of scribes and warriors, but also brought good news to the lord. ”

"Most of these scribes and warriors are just middle-class people, but there are also some good seedlings among them, especially one person, who can be regarded as a master." Xun Yu Dao.

"Oh?" When Li Zheng heard this, he was interested. To be evaluated by Xun You as a Venerable Master, he didn't think he was an idle person, so he asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's Zhang Song from Chengdu! This person speaks and behaves in a clear manner, is especially good at memorizing, and has the ability to never forget! Xun Yu replied.

When Li Zheng heard this, he felt familiar, and he thought that he should also be a celebrity, so he smiled and said: "Since you have the posture of a master, let's focus on cultivating." ”

Xun You nodded yes, and then said: "As for the good news, hehe, but I want to congratulate the lord on the joy of taking a concubine!" ”

"Concubine?!" Li Zheng was stunned, when is he going to take a concubine?

"Yizhou Liu Junlang wants to marry the lord, but the candidate is Wu Yuan, the sister of Yizhou Zhonglang Wu Yi. I heard that this woman is beautiful and knowledgeable, she is only twenty-eight this year, but she is a good match for the lord. Xun You explained: "Wu Yi's father and Liu Junlang are even close friends. When Liu Junlang entered Shu, Wu Yi followed his family and had a very close relationship. ”

Li Zheng frowned and pondered: "Do these gentlemen think that it is necessary to marry this family business?" ”

Accepting concubines or something, Li Zheng does not reject it. In this era, as the head of one party, there is no one with three wives and four concubines, and they are embarrassed to go out to meet people.

However, whether to have a political marriage with Yizhou, Li Zheng is not sure about the pros and cons.

"It's necessary!"

Tian Feng said categorically at this time: "As the overlord of one party, the lord has only one wife, but it is not in accordance with the etiquette system. Moreover, the lord needs to spread out a lot, so that our vassals can be more at ease. The third is to calm Liu Junlang's heart and avoid his cranky thinking! ”

Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, and even Xun Shuang, Xun Yan and others all agreed.

When Li Zheng heard this, he felt reasonable, and when he saw that everyone agreed, he simply nodded and said, "Okay, I should do this family business." ”

Xun You smiled and said, "Then Your Majesty will prepare this matter tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Li Zheng waved his hand.

"How are you preparing for the road to Yizhou?" In the blink of an eye, Li Zheng said this again.

Xun You replied: "The topographic exploration has been completed, and the final preparations are being made. As long as there are enough mountain breakers, they will be able to open the road before the year! ”

Between Wudu and Guanghan, there are staggered and dangerous mountains that are dozens of miles wide. For ordinary people, this is a moat, but if there is a mountain-breaking beast and dozens of miles of mountains, it is nothing.

"Okay, tomorrow I will synthesize all the raw materials, and Gongda will take the mountain breaker away in the afternoon."

Xun You nodded yes.

"This time, the new counties and Xihe counties have not yet been on the right track." Li Zheng said: "Various policies must be stepped up to implement, and more attention must be paid to Gongda and Mr. Yuan Hao in this regard." ”

After all, Shangjun and Xihe County are newly acquired territories, and the system in them is very chaotic and outdated. The system of Liangzhou must be implemented immediately, and there will be no chaos in any way. Therefore, Xun You, as the head of political affairs, and Tian Feng, the head of the Criminal Law Department, need more attention to restrain them from getting on the right track.

"In addition, the intelligence department should also pay more attention to its internal divisions to avoid chaos."

Xun You, Jia Xu and Tian Fengdun were the leaders.

"There are more than 40,000 prisoners of war, and you have to keep an eye on the screening and training matters, and Mr. Zhicai must also check it." Li Zheng turned his face to Zhang Shan and Xi Zhicai and said: "Although many of these captives have experienced war, they are veterans. But all the elements are far inferior to our army. In particular, there are many of them who are over the age standard or do not meet the standard, and they must be eliminated. Then urge the Baishuichuan training camp to step up training. At the same time, the Central Army will dispatch 10,000 elite soldiers to Baiyu tomorrow to strengthen the troops on the front line of Gaonu-Tongtian Mountain. After the prisoners are trained, the elite will be selected and replenished to the Central Army. ”

"Your Majesty takes orders."

"Whoa!"
