Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping did not spend the night here, but took advantage of the night to leave quietly and went to Danxia Village not far away to spend the night.

As for Han Xuan, Xiao Yu did not promise any official position, but just said that if he intends to become an official, the northwest will open the door to convenience.

There are three large camps on the Xihe Plain, twelve medium-sized camps, seventy-eight small camps, as for the dungeon forts, there are countless dungeons, the dungeon forts are set up without quality security chiefs, the small camps are set up with one captain and two captains, the medium-sized camps are set up with two captains and one commander, and the large camps are set up with two commanders and one commander, which also causes a very interesting situation in Xihe Prefecture. The county orders have become nominal decorations, and the people who really hold the power of a state are the three commanders stationed in Xihe Prefecture, and the entire Xihe original walled fort system behind the three commanders.

After the crisis in the northwest, Xiao Yu figured out a lot of things, blindly advocating force, vainly trying to sweep the world in a short period of time, after all, it is not advisable, this kind of seemingly strong for a while is actually a beach fortress, which means that as long as one move is not careful, it will lose everything. It can be said that the battle of Xiheyuan woke up Xiao Yu and made him really pay attention to the nine-character key of "building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king" set by the proprietor before the founding of the country. Although Xiao Yu has now become the king, the so-called delay in becoming the king is impossible, but the two strategies of building a high wall and accumulating grain are still feasible.

In particular, the policy of accumulating grain is not simply referring to grain, but more to say that the heritage of all aspects, especially talents in all aspects, is also included. Looking at the northwest today, there is no shortage of generals who can fight and fight, what is really lacking is the civil servants who can shepherd and defend one side, Lan Yu can be civil and martial, and he is impeccable at this point, but just one Lan Yu is not enough. What Xiao Yu needs is not a certain person, but a complete set of civil officials from the lowest level to the political envoy who is in charge of the overall situation of a state at the highest level.

It is undeniable that the military attache system in the northwest has been very perfect, but there is still a blank in the civilian system. It can be said that the Northwest in the past and the Northwest in the present are both walking with a limp.

Walking on one leg is naturally not as steady as walking on two legs.

For this situation, Xiao Yu and Xiao Jin had a deep talk, and the result of this deep talk was that there were twelve more academies in the five states of Northwest China, with the main responsibility of cultivating the children of the poor family, among which the Xixiang Academy where Han Xuan and others were located was the leader of the twelve academies, known as the Zijian of the Northwest Kingdom.

In many things, Xiao Yu will listen to Xiao Jin's opinions, and every time Xiao Jin gives advice, it can be called far-sighted. The reason why Xiao Yu relies so much on Xiao Jin is not only because of the status of a half-brother. You must know that Xiao Yu has always had a reputation for being mean and unkind, although he is suspected of slander by Shilin, but there is no wind and no waves, Xiao Yu is really not a tolerant and generous person. When Xiao Jin wanted to kill him, he had always kept it in his heart, if it weren't for Xiao Jin's talent, the left minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion would not have fallen on Xiao Jin's head.

Danxia Village Camp.

Xiao Yu picked up a secret letter on the desk, opened it, glanced at it roughly, and then threw it casually onto the lit candle. Xiao Yu stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the letter paper and burning into ashes. Xiao Jin said in the letter that there would be some changes in the eastern capital in the near future, and if it was not expected, Zhao Qing would take the throne and fight against Sun Ligong. According to Xiao Jin's meaning, Zhao Qing has always been at odds with their two brothers, rather than letting Zhao Qing become bigger, it is better to take advantage of the turmoil in the Eastern Capital to intervene and help this Uncle Sun.

This is not that Xiao Jin is arrogant, although Xiao Yu and Xiao Jin have become self-reliant, but after all, they are the only two sons under Xiao Lie's knees, and they have a great hidden advantage in Dongdu, and there are still many people who think that the merger of Dongdu and Zhongdu is inevitable. If the two sons send a message, and there is Sun Ligong, the real power faction in the Eastern Capital, under Xiao Lie's nose, it is unlikely that someone will replace Zhao Qing, in fact, there is no one in the Eastern Capital family who can replace Zhao Qing, but it is not difficult to say that Zhao Qing's upper position will be slowed down and delayed for a while.

As long as Zhao Qing does not take the throne for a day, he will not have the confidence and courage to wrestle with Xiao Yu for a day, then the central capital and the eastern capital will maintain peace for a long time.

Peace of recuperation.

Xiao Yu began to pace back and forth on the thick carpet, not long ago, in the chaotic battle involving the whole world, Qin Zheng was the biggest loser, defeated and died, Xiao Lie was the biggest winner, occupying orthodoxy, and the limelight was unmatched for a while. And Xiao Yu, Shepherd Qi, and Lu Qian are all characters who accompany the prince to study.

The Northwest Army really participated in the competition for the world for the first time, and it planted a big heel, although it won the Northeast Army at the last moment, but it was just a fig leaf, and it would not end up like Qin Zheng.

The shepherd retracted and went back to his hometown in the northeast to lick his wounds, and he Xiao Yu was no better, if the former northwest still looked at the world, after this battle, the northwest could only live his own small life behind closed doors.

At the military aircraft meeting afterwards, Xiao Yu did not deceive himself, and it can even be said that he tore off the fig leaf with his own hands and sealed the coffin for the Northwest Army's first southern expedition.

Defeat is defeat.

In the end, he said to all the high-ranking officials in the northwest present, "I hope that all the gentlemen will take this as their mind, and be ashamed and courageous." ”

After this war, Lu Qian, Shepherd Qi, and Xiao Yu all reined in their self-reliance, and nominally bowed to the temple and the little emperor in the eastern capital.

Lu Qian is the king of Jiangping County, and the shepherd is the king of Liao.

Xiao Yu, who is still the prince of Da Zheng Chao and others, is in the capital of the domain, controls the five northwestern states, and guards the northwest gateway of Dazheng.

It seems that this world is still Da Zheng's world.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the fall of Da Zheng is only a matter of time, even if the civil strife can be calmed down one day, it will not be today's Da Zheng, maybe it will be called the East and West Zheng in the history books.

Xiao Yu, as the leader of the entire Northwest, represents the interests of the entire Northwest, the Northwest is not the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains, it is not a good place to raise people, and even in the year of famine, eating is a big problem, so the generals in the Northwest led by Xiao Yu will not be satisfied with the cold and bitter land of the five states, even if there is a Shuzhou.

One day, the Northwest Army will go south again.

Of course, before this, Xiao Yu still has many things to solve, which is what Xiao Jin said about living behind closed doors.

The loss of this battle is not only how many people Xiao Yu died, how much territory he lost, and how much silver he spent, but more importantly, Xiao Yu lost the hearts of many families.

The Northwest Army's strong combat power is one thing, but more importantly, because those families should cooperate with each other inside and outside, so Xiao Yu's entry into Shu Zhenghu is like the trend of the times, destroying and decaying, and invincible.

Those families put their bets on Xiao Yu's body, if Xiao Yu can realize the previous strategic intention, from Shuzhou to Jiangnan, and connect the northwest and Jiangnan into a line, then it is a great cause to be expected, and these families who will bet on Xiao Yu have the hope of becoming a hero of the new dynasty.

Now that Xiao Yu has been defeated, not only his own vitality has been greatly damaged, but even those families who have bet on him are also suffering from a great loss of vitality, or even worse.

At that time, the prime minister of Dashu made the first Northern Expedition to the Great Wei, and everywhere he went, there were countless people who fell in the hope of the wind, but the first Northern Expedition ended in failure.

Afterwards, the Shu army retreated to Shuzhou in embarrassment, and these surrenderers were sentenced to death by the Great Wei court, and when the Shu army went on the second northern expedition, no one dared to surrender the city.

Xiao Yu's current situation is so similar to that of the Prime Minister of Dashu back then!

Losing the support of these families is more painful for Xiao Yu than losing the entire Huzhou.

Since he failed in force, Xiao Yu turned to Wenzhi, that is, to make up for the lame leg in the northwest, but also to regain people's hearts and prepare for the future.

Under the dim and jumping lights, Xiao Yu's face was uncertain, and he finally wrote a reply to Xiao Jin.

"My brother Huaiyu is like a meeting: what you said in your letter is accurate. Sun Ligong is an old man who guards secretly, but Li Rusong can supervise this matter, and if it is successful, it will be a great good, and there is no need to be harsh if it is not successful. In addition, Huai Yu must also personally supervise the affairs of the college, and my hope in the northwest lies in this, and I must not slack off in the slightest. ......”

“...... If the northwest becomes its own patio, when the door is opened the next day, it will be the day when the tiger comes out!"
