On the last day of July, Shao Xun held a military meeting in the Green Willow Garden, and the generals arrived.

Dozens of people sat in the courtyard, separated from relatives, distant and close, and arranged seating for high and low status.

The left half is a civil official, and the right half is a military attaché - civil and military is a distinction between positions, not people, and at this time a person can be both a civil official and a military attaché, and the distinction is not obvious.

Long Sword Governor Chen Yougen sat at the bottom right of Shao Xun.

No matter what happened before, he is now a squire, the first general under the faint Shaw Clan, and his status is very high.

The eldest brother Chen Jingen sat in the back, he was Chen Yougen's general, commanding dozens of servants of the Chen family, and acting as a personal soldier when he went into battle.

Chen Yingen and Chen Tonggen did not have the opportunity to attend, the former was caught by Yiyang thieves, and the latter was a member of the public mansion - the housekeeper has no grade, but there are fifty acres of Lutian, which belongs to the small officials who do chores.

Chang Cang, the deputy governor of the Long Sword Army, also sat behind Chen Yougen.

Chen Yougen's subordinate is Li Chong, the deputy governor of the Yamen Army.

From the point of view of military talent, he is the number one general of the Shaw Group. Moreover, he is humble, unrelieved, diligent in learning, and has considerable prestige in the Yamen army group, and has led troops to fight many times, leading the way alone.

Chen Yougen's ability is really not easy to compare with him.

The seating arrangement is quite mysterious.

Li Chong's head is the squire Liu Anzhi.

Liu Anzhi went down further, followed by the two deputy governors of the Silver Spear Army, Wang Qi'er and Jin San, and behind them sat Lu Heigou, Hou Feihu, Xu Yu, Sun He, Zhang Daniu, Jiang Ke and other lords, basically all of whom were in the first three phases of the East China Sea, Luoyang, and Taiyuan.

As for the many students in Liangguo, Chang'an, Handan and Yecheng Seventh Phase recruited last year, there are no qualified people to sit here for the time being.

The Silver Spear Army is a well-deserved main force of the Shaw Clan's military and political group, with a large number of people and skilled skills, sitting there silently, quietly listening to Master Shao's lectures.

Under the people of the Silver Spear Army, there were righteous servants of the Governor Manyu, five auxiliary generals Wang Xian, Hao Chang, Lou Quan, Lou Bao, and Chen Yi, each with an entourage, and the black pressure sat in a large area.

On the left, the closest to Shao Xun is Cao Fu, and then Pei Kang.

These two people have a high status, but they are not very involved in the daily management of government affairs, and only when they can't figure it out, they will be asked to come forward to dredge up the relationship and exert influence.

The real head of civil officials is still Xiangcheng Taishou Lu Zhi.

Many of Shao Xun's united front acts in Hebei were written by Lu Zhi to advise him.

Moreover, compared with Wang Yan and Wang Dao, the children of the Wang family, Lu Zhi has a strong ability to operate general affairs, which is what they lack - Wang Yan and Wang Dao's skills are more focused on the direction of "maintaining the president", and the actual governance ability is not good, which may be related to the fact that the family does not like to operate general affairs.

Under Lu Zhi, there are the ministers of the state Cui Gong, Cheng Pei Hui, Danong Chu Yu, pastor Wu Qian, Xueguan Ling Yuliang, Liang Ling Yangman, Dianshu Ling Yangming, Dianshu Cheng Mao Bang, four Zhishu, Yang Zhai Ling Zhou Mo, Zhongdian Mu Lekuan and others.

Some of the Shaw relatives also came.

The owner of Yushan Dock, his uncle Liu Shan, the third brother Shao Fan, the eldest nephew Shao Shen, and more than ten uncles, cousins, and cousins basically came.

Liu Shan is in his early forties, inherited the position of Shao Xun's grandfather before, and was the leader of the Xuzhou Shibing, so he is a little arrogant in the countryside.

Today was the first time he had attended such a high-level meeting, and he felt a little inferior when he looked at the children of the family next to him. Looking at the murderous group on the other side, the military attachés who were not good people at first glance felt the natural suppression - the Qiu Ba in the army ate this set.

"Luyang County has arrived." The guard ordered Tang Jian to take the lead and sang loudly.

Shao Xun was wearing a military uniform, and he walked over.

"See Ming Gong." Liu Shan followed everyone to get up and salute in unison.

This nephew is terrible.

In seven years, how did you break into such a big family business?

Civilian and military generals, all respectful.

With an order, it is estimated that it can turn the land of a state upside down.

I used to think that my sister was married to the Shao family, but now it seems that their family is climbing.

A few years ago, his wife also proposed to marry her daughter to Shao Xun. At that time, my sister was very happy, saying that it was a good thing for my cousins to kiss each other, but unfortunately she was vetoed in private.

It's not possible anymore.

Princess Chengdu and Princess Fanyang lived in the Green Willow Garden one after another, and the concubines of the family were gentle, knowledgeable, and noble, and directly compared the girls in the family.

Pity.

"Sit." Shao Xun sat on the Hu bed with a golden knife, his hands pressed weakly.

Everyone sat down.

"The expedition is imminent, long story short." Shao Xun stretched out a finger and said, "First thing." ”

"After I set out on the expedition, Duke Cao took up the post of staying behind, and when it came to military and political affairs, Duke Cao was in charge."

"In terms of general affairs, Cui Gong and Lu Gong are deputies, and major matters are discussed. If it is really difficult to decide, send a messenger to the army. ”

"No." Cao Fu got up first, and his posture was very full.

"Just sit and talk." Shao Xun got up and took two steps, and helped Cao Fu to sit down.

Cui Gong and Lu Zhi also got up and agreed.

Shao Xun ordered them to sit down one by one.

Cui Gong is okay, Lu Zhi may not be convinced. But in the face of Cao Fu, an old qualified tumbler, he still gave him respect.

Pei Kang was a little numb.

Co-authored without him, and his heart was a little uncomfortable.

"In terms of military affairs, Huang Biao, Wu Qian, and Liu Anzhi assisted Cao Gong. The remaining Yamen Army, the government soldiers, the Silver Spear Army, the Volunteer Army, etc., all need to be countersigned by four people for their deployment, transfer, and battle, and their orders can take effect, all of which are indispensable. Shao Xun said again.

"No." Huang, Wu, and Liu responded in unison.

"Second thing." Shao Xun continued: "The matter of the retreat of the Luoyang Three Gardens and the Tuntian Army to the south should be handled as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Shao Shen and Shao Fan.

The two of them immediately got up, only to hear Shao Shen say, "Uncle—"

"Huh?" Shao Xun glared at him.

Lu Gong rest assured that the first batch of people with 40,000 wheat has passed the Yique Pass and will arrive in Guangchengze in a few days. The second group almost set off. By the end of August at the latest, the three gardens in Luoyang will be removed. Shao Shen replied loudly.

"It could be early September." Shao Fan added: "There are too many things, and the tunding are also a little commotion, so it is best to send an army to escort them." ”

Shao Xun immediately looked at Huang Biao and ordered: "Assign a Yamen sergeant to assist in the evacuation." ”

"No." Huang Biao responded.

There are more than 4,200 households and more than 20,000 households in Luoyang Third Park, 1,250 hectares of fields have been cultivated, and there are more than 1,100 large and small livestock. Luoyang is about to become a battlefield, and they are definitely going to retreat.

"The third thing, Yiyang Sanwu, evacuate some people down." Shao Xun looked at Mao Bang and said, "Mao Er, you have been in charge of Sanwu for many years, and you will handle this matter." ”

"No." Mao Er should get down.

Located in Yunzhong, Kinmen and Danshan Sanwu in Yiyang County, there are currently more than 5,200 households and more than 23,100 people, more than 1,150 hectares of farmland have been reclaimed, and there are more than 2,000 large and small livestock.

Shao Xun had talked to Mao Bang before.

Under the severe drought, due to the topography, the well water in Wubao dried up, and it was difficult to find water in the mountains. Not to mention farming, it is difficult for people and animals to drink water, and it is very hard to walk a long way to carry water in Luoshui, which has been cut off.

In July, they had already begun to evacuate, and a large group of people helped the old and the young, and walked through the rugged mountain road to Guangchengze, which was much closer than the three gardens of Luoyang.

Now it's a matter of whether to remove all the remaining people.

In the end, the result of the discussion was that 1,500 baoding should be kept in each dock, half of the grain should be retained, and the rest of the personnel, livestock, and grain should be transported away.

"The fourth thing." Shao Xun said: "Before September 15, whether it rains or not, winter wheat must be sown. Shirting fields, Lutian, north and south two-timber Guanzhuang, and stacked fields are all planted. The seven counties of Xiangcheng, Yangzhai, Yangcheng, Liang, Luyang, Yushanwu, and Luliuyuan are handled together, and how much can be planted, in short, every effort is made to farm. ”

The so-called "North and South Ercai Guanzhuang" are actually two newly built manors in Guangchengze, commonly known as "South Park" and "North Park".

There were more than 1,350 hectares of fields in the North Park, which began to be cleaned up last winter and completed in the first half of this year, but before the seeds could be planted, they ushered in a major drought and simply cleaned them up again.

According to the introduction of Princess Lu of Fanyang, it was merged with the fields of the National Uncle's Courtyard, and there are now nearly 1,500 hectares, which will be cultivated by more than 7,000 people from the second and third battalions of the Jizhou Tuntian Army.

The Jing brothers recruited 200 homeless people to be in charge of management.

But it was not enough, so the Lu family transferred more than 100 soldiers from the family to manage it together.

The South Park was cleaned up and leveled this year, and after the wasteland was burned, the roots of the trees were dug up repeatedly, stones were picked up, and it was sorted out over and over again.

The total area is 1,500 hectares, and it is intended to be handed over to the Zhuangke who was withdrawn from the Luoyang Three Gardens for cultivation.

The fields are considered to be the private property of sheep sacrifices, and have now grown to a scale of more than 100 hectares, and after harvesting a crop of rice last year, wheat was planted in the autumn.

After this year's summer harvest, there was no way to grow rice, so we had to recuperate and continue to grow wheat in mid-September.

Overall, there are still too few fields.

A water conservancy project in Jixian County in this dynasty (Erling weir and cartbox canal) irrigated more than one million mu. The area of Guangchengze is several times that of the other, and the water volume is dozens of times that of the other, and the degree of development is still too low.

It also takes time to settle.

Unlike the fields of the county, the land in Gwangseongzari is completely at its own disposal, and it is very profitable to develop and mature.

"One last thing." Shao Xun said: "Li Zhong led six Yamen troops, Chen Yougen led 1,200 government soldiers, Chen Yi led 5,000 auxiliary soldiers, and Jin San and Wang Qi'er led eight silver spear armies to go with me. ”

"No." The main generals who were named stood up one after another.

Subsequently, everyone discussed the details. This is the most time-consuming, and it will be dispersed until night.

After the generals dispersed, Shao Xun spent a peaceful night with his family.

Le Lanji and Lu Xun met yesterday, but they were still a little unnatural.

When the two inadvertently met their eyes, they both subconsciously avoided them.

After learning that Lu Xun was pregnant, Lan Ji felt a little uncomfortable. That night, Shao Xun was tightly tied like an octopus, and he was not allowed to play with flowers.

Shao's father and mother are already numb.

The princess of Chengdu and the princess of Fanyang are both pregnant with the seed of the worm, and they are even guessing which princess will be the next to be brought into the house. In the end, Shao Mu directly said "Don't be the queen", which directly ended the topic.

Sister Shao Ying is probably the happiest person in the family.

The wild girl has become the eldest lady, and she is covered in Ayara. The two sisters-in-law were flattering her in disguise, and the gifts they gave were piled up with a few rattan baskets, like a little rich woman.

One of her big hopes now is that will there be a third sister-in-law to spoil her?

On the first day of August, it was overcast, but not a drop of rain fell.

Shao Xun sighed, and after saying goodbye to his parents and sister, he hugged Le's and Lu's again.

Song Yi stood timidly in the distance.

Her status is too low, and it is not good to compare with Le's and Lu's.

Shao Xun beckoned, took her into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, laughed and got on the horse and left.

The smoke and dust are long, and the army is like a dragon.

More than 10,000 troops marched north and arrived at the western suburbs of Luoyang a few days later.

At this time, a military report came: the Pingbei general Cao Wu was defeated and Dayang fell.

Shao Xun immediately took out the map and looked at it carefully.

Dayang, north of the Yellow River, was the last stronghold of the imperial court in Hedong County, guarding an important crossing of the Yellow River: Maojin.

Cao Wu had 15,000 men under his command, and he was the second army on the left and right of the forbidden army.

This time the army was defeated, and I don't know how many people will be left.

At this time, in Luoyang City, there were still more than 30,000 foot cavalry of the left and right guards and Xiao cavalry, as well as more than 20,000 infantry troops brought by Sima Yue.

I heard that 5,000 "volunteers" in Liangzhou had arrived in Guanzhong, and counting them and Shao Xun's department, the defenders of Luoyang were about 70,000 or 80,000.

On the side of Baimadu, there are also Yu and Yan sergeants led by the general Wang Kan, and after a defeat, there are more than 10,000 people left.

Sima Yue commanded him more than 5,000 cavalry of the East China Sea Kingdom Army led by Liu Qiaguan, and the total strength was only about 20,000.

I heard that Wang Shiwen, the governor of Xuchang, was still rectifying the follow-up people, but he didn't know how many soldiers there were.

That's pretty much the way it is at the moment.

If you fight well, you can still win the war, provided that the military rations are sufficient.
