Before the angel came, there were already no less than three people who sent a message to Shao Xun in advance.

"Now you can call Lang Jun 'Junhou'." In the barracks outside Handan City, Lu Zhi smiled and saluted.

Junhou is a kind of honorific title for liehou or honorable people in the Han Dynasty, and the Wei and Jin dynasties attacked it.

For example, Cao Pi once said: "Recently, Uncle Nanyang Zonghui said that the prince and the marquis had a beautiful Jue in the past, and he was surprised when he heard it, and laughed and laughed. ”

It can be seen.

"Why do you have to do that?" Shao Xun hurriedly grabbed Lu Zhi, solemnly returned the salute, and said, "The state affairs are entrusted to you." ”

"No." Lu Zhigong responded.

He knew that "state affairs" did not refer only to the 1,400 households.

Luyang has a county order, that is, the county order and the Hou coexist.

Just as the kingdom is likely to also have a taishou, that is, the taishou and the internal history of the kingdom (kingdom phase) coexist.

There is a system in the country, and those who are knighted can only get one-third of the rent of the food estate.

Shao Xun was named the Marquis of Luyang County, and he was sealed by 1,400 households, so Lu Zhi, as the Marquis of the Marquis, could only manage the 1,400 households, and could only take one-third of the rent - it became one-ninth in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The internal history of the kingdom and the princes and princes theoretically have the task of supervising the kings and princes, because they are the officials of the imperial court and have nothing to do with the kings and princes.

But in reality, this is not the case.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the internal history and the princes have gradually become private, which is the result of the usurpation of the power of the court by high-ranking officials and nobles.

The local Taishou often can't fight the internal history of the kingdom.

The county order basically can't play the princess.

Lu Zhi's task is to find a way to get the Luyang County Order, force it to comply, and slowly encroach on the whole county of Luyang and turn it into a private domain.

This task is not difficult, he has already thought of a trick, and he will make the county order disgusting, and in the end he can only succumb.

Shao Xun is full of ambition, he now has almost half of the county's territory, if you count the two counties of Liang and Luyang, and the Wubao of Zhumanor. Moreover, most of the people in these counties were personally brought in and resettled by him, and in terms of the collection and use of resources, the efficiency is extremely high, even far beyond one county, close to two counties.

In some dynasties, twenty families could support a full-time professional soldier.

In some dynasties, five families can raise one, and the combat effectiveness is still very good.

The difference is that the former does not necessarily collect much from the rent, while the latter collects most of the surplus resources and invests them in the construction of the army.

This prince is also going to take up.

Shao Xun glanced at Lu Zhi with satisfaction, and then looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

On the first day of the ninth month, the Taifu army issued an order, and within ten days, the county soldiers, the Yamen army and the troops left Handan and returned to their respective stations.

Shao Xun, of course, has to drag it out until the last day.

At the end of August, he had selected 500 Yamen troops and 1,000 Ding Zhuang, and escorted a batch of requisitioned goods and equipment to Liang County—especially the equipment, he did not give anyone, and raised more and more private soldiers, and the training was very depleted, such as the bowstrings in stock were almost exhausted, and they urgently needed to be replenished.

The second batch of nearly 100 craftsmen collected in Hebei were sent back together.

Now that there are ten days left, he naturally won't let it go, don't take the opportunity to get more things, is he worthy of this expedition? Anyway, Hebei has a reputation for being rich, and I will help you and Henan people to "be rich and poor".

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the angel went to Handan and read out the order of the marquis on the spot, and everyone congratulated.

Shao Xun took the opportunity to inquire, and Gou Xi was awarded the title of Marquis of Dongping County, General of Fujun, and Governor of Qingyan Military.

Gou Xi won a state in a war, and I only had a county, Sima Yue trusted Gou Xi so much?

Hehe, it doesn't matter. Sima Yue's trust never lasts long, and he and Gou Xi will definitely turn their faces.

It was a day when the whole army was drunk and had a good meal of wine and meat.

On the tenth day of the ninth month, after collecting the last batch of money and grain, the army left Handan and returned to the court.

******

In the mountains and wilderness of Bingzhou, Liu Yuan put down the riding bow in his hand and felt a little regretful.

This is an exact same horn bow used by Shao Xun, which is a pair of male and female. I gave a handful out, kept a handful for myself, and today someone came to mention, mentioning the war in Hebei, Liu Yuan thought a lot.

The man with the bow is getting up.

"The heroes from all over the world are all like-minded, and they are overjoyed." He collected his mood and looked at Liu Xuan and the others.

The system of the Han Kingdom at this time was a bit "anti-trend".

The country is headed by the prime minister, the imperial historian, and the Taiwei, which is the three dukes of the Han Dynasty, which is very different from the system of the Wei and Jin dynasties in which the fashion bookseller holds the core power.

The prime minister of the Han State is Liu Xuan, the right virtuous king, and the Taiwei is Liu Hong, the king of the left Lu, and the imperial historian originally gave Liu Yuan's former teacher Cui You, but he "stubbornly resigned", and later gave the Xiongnu nobleman Hu Yanyi (Liu Yuan's father-in-law).

"The king, as soon as Le comes, he will make meritorious service, or he can be crowned king." Prime Minister Liu Xuan replied.

In fact, it has been discussed in private for a long time, and this will just be a formality.

After hearing this, Shi Le, who was standing on the side, was grateful, knelt down directly, and said, "King Han is rewarded, I'd rather repay him with death!" ”

At the same time, he secretly thought that the Han Kingdom was generous.

Liu Yuanhai has not yet been proclaimed emperor, but he is just a "King of Han", but he is willing to crown me as the king, what is the reason?

Of course, he is not without merit.

Not to mention the hundreds of horsemen brought from Hebei, when passing through the party, using the old relationship between his grandfather Ye Yiyu and his father Zhou Haozhu, he said that Zhang Du, Feng Motu and others came to surrender - the length of a department, commonly known as "the ministry of the university".

This is the shadow of my father and ancestors.

It's like the so-called poor family in the Central Plains, some of the children of the poor family are so poor that they can't eat, but he may know big people and have old relationships left over from the era of his father and ancestors, which is extremely envied by many wealthy and powerful people.

"Then the general of Fuhan and the king of Pingjin." Liu Yuan said happily: "The governor can be the king of the Han Dynasty, and the governor of the Ministry is great." ”

"Thank you, the king." Shi Le, Zhang Du, and Feng Motu shouted in unison.

Two princes and one governor are indeed generous.

"Zhang Du, Feng Motu, the two of you are under the control of the King of Jin, and there must be no mistakes." Liu Yuan looked at the two of them and said again.

"Yes." The two of them should go down.

Schle rejoiced.

He was only persuading the two to surrender to the Han Kingdom before, but he was not their boss, and he was just a fellow traveler when he died. Now there is the will of the King of Han, and hundreds of old brothers can be used as the backbone to rule over these thousands of people.

"Wuhuan Zhang Fulidu has 2,000 people, the wall is in Leping, and he can't do it repeatedly." Liu Yuan said to Shi Le again: "If you can persuade him to surrender, the people will also be under your command." ”

"Obey." Shile answered confidently.

was beaten like a lost dog by Gou Xi in Hebei, and he went to the King of Han in a panic, but it came to work?

Thousands of troops were won at once, and there were a considerable number of cavalry, and this trip was worth it.

Of course, for Liu Yuan, he has nothing to lose.

Zhang Du and Feng Motu had been in the party before, but they belonged to the Hu Department and had nothing to do with him. They were able to come, one of them had the factor of oppression by the officials of the Jin State, and the other was the reason why the Han State was getting stronger, but Shi Le's merits could not be ignored.

Wuhuan Zhang Fulidu is even more reluctant to surrender to Han, if Shi Le can say that he will surrender, that is his ability.

The Han Kingdom is like this, high-ranking officials and nobles, and capable people live in it.

Whoever can bring in soldiers and horses can be an official and a big official.

If Shao Xun can bring his soldiers and horses to vote, what if he gives a "Auxiliary Han King" and "Loyal Han King"?

"Get up." Liu Yuan said with his hands in a weak hands.

Shi Le and the others hurriedly got up and were respectful.

Liu Yuan walked forward, wandering among the river valleys full of fallen leaves.

In the distance, there are rolling mountains, echoing with distant and desolate pastoral songs.

He sighed, after all, the country is still dominated by the Xiongnu, barbaric, ignorant, and murderous.

He had thought about change.

The Xiongnu general Qiao Xi attacked Xihe County, and ordered Jia Hun to take over.

Jia Hun was unwilling to surrender, and scolded: "I am a Jin Shou, I can't do it all, how can I survive and be a thief, what face to look at the world!" ”

Xi was furious and would kill him.

General Yin Song persuaded him not to kill, but he could slowly grind and harden. Before, the Han Dynasty attacked the Quartet and caught many Jin officials, and some people were reluctant to surrender at first, but after being locked up for a long time, some people will change their minds.

Talent is rare.

If you don't listen, you will be killed. Seeing that his wife Zong was beautiful, he wanted to accept it, but Zong scolded angrily and killed him again.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan sighed.

At that time, he recalled Qiao Xi, stripped the military power, demoted him to the fourth rank, and buried Jia Hun and his wife.

But in the Han Dynasty, how can there be more than one Qiao Xi?

There are some things that he can't disobey everyone.

I can only sigh.

Shi Le stood behind Taiwei Liu Hong, Prime Minister Liu Xuan, Yushi Dafu Hu Yanyi, Dahonglu Fan Long, Taichang Zhu Ji, Huangmenlang Chen Yuanda, Cui Yizhi, Jianwu General Liu Yao and others, silently following, but he didn't know what the Han King was sighing.

"Shi Qing." Liu Yuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Shi Le.

The crowd immediately stepped aside, and Shile approached and said, "Great King." ”

"Qing is from Hebei, can you know the local situation?" Liu Yuan asked.

"Back to the king." Shi Le said calmly: "Hebei has been very empty after several wars. Most of those who suppressed the rebels were foreign guests. However, the guest soldiers must return, and this is the opportunity. ”

"Hmm." Liu Yuan was a little moved.

After all, the Han Dynasty wants to expand its territory, but the courtiers have different opinions on the next direction of expansion.

Some people advocate attacking Jinyang.

Someone wants to hit the level.

Someone wants to enter Hebei.

There are also people who are going south to Luoyang to test whether the Jin Kingdom is still capable of holding the national capital.

Liu Yuan thought about it, but never made up his mind.

There are mountains and rivers in the east of the river, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and you can attack everywhere, which direction to choose, it is really not easy to make a decision.

"It's not enough to have a big order!" Taiwei Liu Hong said urgently.

Liu Yuan glanced at him.

Liu Hong hurriedly changed his words and said, "The king can't." Hebei is an important town, can Jin Tingyan sit idly by? It's better to take all the land and annex the state first, and then talk about the rest. ”

Liu Yuan bowed slightly.

Yes, the elbow and armpit have not been cleared, so how can you strike at the outside?

This elbow land refers to Binh Duong, Ha Dong and other counties, not Jinyang.

Liu Kun, the assassin of Bingzhou, had few soldiers at all, and he was unable to contain the Han army. But if you take the initiative to fight Jinyang, he may recruit Tuoba Xianbei to help.

Xianbei is fierce and powerful, the Han Kingdom has already suffered losses, and it is not suitable to move Jinyang for the time being.

Anyway, Liu Kun won't take the initiative to beat him, everyone can be safe.

Shi Le silently observed on the side, and carefully analyzed the dialogue between the monarchs and ministers of the Han Kingdom, and in an instant, he seemed to have an understanding, and immediately said: "King, the court of the Jin Kingdom has many wine bags and rice bags, why be afraid? ”

"Oh?" Liu Yuan looked at him with some amusement and said, "Dongwuyang and Yangping fought several battles, and Qing and Jisang were defeated and lost. In the Battle of Feixiang, Shao Xun, the general of the material officer, captured and killed more than 10,000 people, and chased the death to the north. The court of the Jin Kingdom is obviously not all wine bags and rice bags, right? ”

Shi Le smiled when he heard this, and said: "Gou Xi and Shao Xun are despised by scholars, and I expect Sima Yue and Wang Yan to be intolerable. Now the two of them may have been classified, Hebei is a vast white land, can be driven by the Han iron horse, and there is no opponent. The minister is not talented, and he is willing to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to the east of Taihang, and take the counties of Hebei for the imperial court. ”

Liu Yuan thought for a while, nodded and agreed, "Yes." ”

Anyway, it is a lot of soldiers, and it is not a pity to die.

Shi Le is willing to take them to Hebei, then it is good to go.

"Commandment." Shi Le suppressed the excitement in his heart and responded.

He is like a gambler who has lost all his money, but he didn't expect that after only half a month, he would have a windfall from the sky and regain a wealth in his pocket.

Just go and gamble again!

"Shi Qing took Hebei, which can contain the Jin forces for the imperial court." Liu Yuan looked at the courtiers and said, "You must not neglect your government, you should quickly accumulate money, food and equipment, and you will go to Pingyang in person in the coming year." ”

"Obey." The ministers led in unison.

Liu Yuan swept everyone's faces one by one.

The country has been created in a hurry, and there are many vacant positions, and the officials are not able to get together.

For several years, he had been a corporal, but few people responded. If the two counties of Pingyang and Hedong can be taken down, the momentum will be even greater, or more people will vote.

"Fan Qing." Liu Yuan said again.

"You can go to the Central Plains again." After speaking, Liu Yuan walked up to him and added in a low whisper.
