By the time he entered Quyang County, even if Lu Yi had been shocked and shocked along the way, he was shocked and numb...... But he was still shocked by the tall Quyang City-

Hold the grass!

What the hell - you tell me it's a small county?

You look at the solid texture, the tall arrow tower, the wide city, this horse...... You say this is Yingdu, I can believe it!

The two generals, Shaohu and Ge Suyi, each gave their soldiers a three-day leave and allowed them to go home and enjoy themselves.

This would have been unimaginable in an ordinary army.

But in Xiong Wuliang's army, there is no fear of deserters!

Joke.

Not to mention the jaw-dropping preferential treatment, in terms of face alone, being able to be the Marquis of Quyang is extremely glorious in the fiefdom of the four counties. Everyone is scrambling to come, can they escape?

"The second and third sons will return home separately, so that they can serve their mother-in-law." A certain commander smiled and said, "Hurry up and make a few more." ”

"One person makes ten babies, and I will be ten thousand generals in the future!"

Not to mention that the sergeants carried large bags of booty and went back to their homes happily.

On the other side, Xiong Wuliang had just arrived in front of the mansion, and he saw Lao Zhonghua bowing his hand: "Little Prince......

I haven't seen him for a year, Zhong Hua's belly is bigger, and his gray hair is more.

From the beginning to the home, it looks like a retired rich old man - how can he still drive a chariot seven in and seven out on the battle battlefield back then?

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai brother and sister meet, needless to say.

The servants in the house also greeted Xiong Wuliang with smiles on their faces.

It's Ji Yi, although there is a smile on her face, but a faint sadness between her eyebrows is also clearly visible - Xiong Wu knows that Ji Yi has just died of a serious illness, and Ji Yi must be uncomfortable in her heart, so she can also comfort her.

Although Xiong Wuliang once attacked the city in a big way, he had the posture of cutting off the head of the cheap old man with his own hands...... But after all, Ji Jing died of a serious illness, not under the axe of the Chu army, and Xiong Wuliang finally left the latter's whole body.

Therefore, although Ji Yi is sad, she is not overly sad.

……

Xiong Wuliang came to the study and sat down, looking at everything familiar in front of him, and felt a lot of emotion...... Old Zhonghua stepped forward diligently, personally served a plate of dried fruits to the little lord, and boiled a pot of hot tea.

A one-year expedition, everything was fine in the four county fiefdoms.

The crop harvest reached a new high, and the daily cargo throughput of the merchant square and the commercial port was astronomical.

The total population of the four counties is close to 300,000, which is comparable to the total population of some small and medium-sized vassal states. Moreover, most of the people's faces were glowing with a well-nourished red light, which was very different from the ragged clothes and vegetable faces of the vast majority of civilians in the world at that time.

In the fiefdom of the four counties, although he is not rich, as long as he is willing to work hard, at least he will not go hungry.

It's already an excellent life for troubled times.

In the future, Xiong Wuliang will definitely stay in Yingdu for a long time, in order to control the overall situation - he will not continue to live in the fiefdom as before.

It is said that the territory controlled in the hands of Xiong Wuliang, a rebellious minister and thief, is now getting bigger and bigger - the Huainan Plain, the big granary, is basically controlled by the Marquis of Quyang, and the newly defeated territory of Yue is obviously under the direct jurisdiction of Xiong Wuliang.

However, the supremacy of the fiefdom of the four counties cannot be replaced!

No matter when, the four counties of Quyang, Ping'a, Shansang and Zhongli are the basic plates of Quyang Hou.

Here, it will always be the money bag of the Marquis of Quyang, and it is also the hometown of the soldiers of Quyang.

……

"Uncle Zhong - I'm Mi Liang, and now I want to be the king of Chu." Xiong Wuliang came back to his senses and said to Zhong Hua.

The voice was not loud, but it was clearly made up.

I saw Zhong Hua's figure tremble slightly, then smiled comfortably, bowed down and said, "Very good, it should have been like this a long time ago." ”

Xiong Wuliang was speechless!

Okay, good...... It seems that my side is really full of chaotic ministers and thieves!

Lao Zhonghua continued to arch his hand and said: "As long as the lord has a life, the old minister is willing to go to the soup at any time." ”

Xiong Wuliang held his forehead with his hand and waved his hand weakly...... In the face of this group of uneasy and kind-hearted careerists around him, it is really difficult for him to clam along......

At this moment, Huang Wu flashed and appeared beside Xiong Wuliang, tilting his head and glancing at Zhong Hua.

It must be known that the Qingyu Guard under Huang Wu is the secret weapon of Quyang Hou, and he should not have appeared in front of people. But in front of the loyal old Zhonghua, there is obviously no need to hide it...... But old Zhonghua arched his hand knowingly, retreated to the outside of the study by himself, and stood guard at the door with the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Zhong Hua is old, and he has been away from the center of power for a long time.

He also subconsciously avoided these intimate topics.

Of course, if Xiong Wuliang handed Zhong Hua a sword now and asked him to charge, then this loyal old man would definitely be at the forefront and rush!

Inside the house, Huang Wu prostrated in Xiong Wuliang's ear and whispered, "Lord-Lu Yi asked to see the little lady just now......"

Xiong Wuliang nodded, not surprised.

The so-called little lady is, of course, Jiyi.

Xiong Wuliang had already been mentally prepared for this - whether it was Ji Jing or Lu Yi, the person they were willing to surrender for was the only daughter of the Yue royal family, or the heir of Ji Yi and Xiong Wuliang.

Not Xiong Wuliang.

"It doesn't matter." Xiong Wuliang replied simply, then waved his hand and motioned for Huang Wu to retreat.

Even if Lu Yi is loyal to Jiyi, not himself...... It doesn't matter!

Xiong Wuliang is a pragmatist.

As long as Lu Yi and the 10,000 fierce barbarians under his command can always be used by the Marquis of Quyang and carry out Xiong Wuliang's orders without hesitation - this is enough.

……

Three days later.

The Quyang New Army and the Xiao Cavalry Army regrouped - the sergeants had been away from home for a year, and they finally came back, but they could only stay with their families for just three days...... Of course, it's reluctant.

However, it is difficult to disobey the military order.

20,000 elite troops escorted Quyanghou's convoy and slowly drove towards Yingdu.

From now on, Xiong Wuliang will be stationed in Yingdu.

The people sent each other off, and they said goodbye...... Naturally, there is no need to describe it.

Many women also had tears in their eyes and waved their hands at the military formation......

Ten miles out, at the small pavilion outside the city, a team of carriages and horses had already stopped.

"Lord, look, that's ......" The little black hand set up the pergola and pointed to the chariot and horses.

Xiong Wuliang was not surprised, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Go closer.

"Qu Yanghou, how rushed did you go?" Huang Xie, the mountain chief of Quyang Academy, arched his hand and strode forward to salute.

After a year of not seeing him, Huang Xie looks more and more mature.

is no longer the original milky and undried appearance, like a serious adult son.

Xiong Wuliang squinted his eyes and didn't answer.

The scene was silent for a few seconds...... Huang Xie finally coughed dryly, and then said slightly reluctantly: "Huang family...... Willing to serve the prince, only Quyang Hou is the first to look forward! ”

Xiong Wuliang smiled with satisfaction, and immediately changed his enthusiastic face: "Please Huangshan Chief, go with me in the car!" ”

……

Xiong Wuliang and Xinchu Wang Miheng have a discordant relationship, which is no secret in the hearts of the upper nobles.

And the Quyang Academy helmed by Huang Xie is the biggest source of confidence for Xiong Wuliang to fight against the monopoly of the old family in the officialdom.

If you can't control it in the hands of your own people, Xiong Wuliang won't be at ease!

Huang Xie is a smart person and will not fail to understand his situation.

Now, it's time for him to take a stand.

Is it to be loyal to the old lord Mi Heng, or to tie up the chariot of Quyang Hou?

Obviously, even if Huang Xie was too unconvinced by Xiong Wuliang...... The latter has been wisely chosen for now!

Very good!

Xiong Wuliang on the bronze chariot waved his hand: "Forward!" ”

"Go back to Yingdu!"

……
