Chapter 175: Bow your head
After chatting about business, Lao Wang got up and said goodbye.
When he was about to leave, he remembered something again, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't ask.
Princess Sima Yuyuan of Xiangcheng has less and less contact with the Wang family, and the feeling of alienation is very strong. But she is her brother-in-law after all, and there are some things she still has to care about.
The previous time, the homeless marshal Li Hong ravaged Wuyang, and the fief of Princess Xiangcheng was a mess, and the loss was not small.
When her daughter Wang Huifeng heard the news, she said that Princess Xiangcheng planned to sacrifice more than 4,000 households in the fief to Chen Hou in exchange for protection.
Wang Yan always felt that things were not so simple.
Considering some of the more unbearable rumors, Wang Yan was a little worried.
It is true that Chu Zhong was sorry for the princess of Xiangcheng first, and then when he was appointed as the assassin of Yangzhou, he didn't ask, and he took office alone, without bringing the princess - maybe the princess didn't want to go to Yangzhou with him, but it would be wrong if you didn't ask.
But-Sima Xuan is her brother-in-law after all, if she runs to the Son of Heaven and asks for an edict to let her divorce Wang Dun, she will be a little embarrassed.
Wang Yan has been thinking about this for a long time.
When he saw Shao Xun today, he didn't dare to ask after hesitation, he felt a little incredible.
After a closer analysis, the sigh is even worse. He needs Shao Xun, and Shao Xun also needs him, the two are de facto political allies, and the question is who needs whom more.
Wang Yan felt that he had already given the answer in his heart.
"It's someone else." Wang Yan told himself secretly.
But there are some unbelievers.
There is a joke in Beijing, Chen Hou Shaoxun chooses women, just like the "Nine Grades of Official Law", the princess is the first grade, and the princess and princess are the second grade......
He already has a younger concubine and Princess Fanyang in his house, and the relationship with Queen Hui Yang is also very suspicious, so Wang Yan can't doubt it.
At this time, he regretted a little that he let his son Wang Xuan and daughter Wang Jingfeng go to Chen County.
"Did the prince still go to Chen County a year ago?" He asked, turning around.
"Go." Shao Xun gave an affirmative answer: "I originally made an appointment to eat red bean porridge together, but because of Situ Xue's death, I was in a hurry to return to Beijing, so I delayed it. We'll start tomorrow. β
"Meizi mentioned that the prince had invited him to eat red bean porridge, and now he should have arrived in Chen County." Well, when he said this, Lao Wang's face was slightly red.
What is the way of this world...... What the hell are you trying to turn people into?
"Oh? Meizi is a trustworthy man, and he will be with him for a while. Shao Xun said with a smile.
In fact, he just said it casually at the beginning, which was not a particularly formal invitation, but people took it seriously.
He's a smart guy and has figured out some subtle signals.
It's not easy! Ha ha!
Let the old wall lamp bow its head, I'm the first person, right? In history, it was probably only when he was captured that Wang Yifu completely put down his body and knelt and licked Shile.
At this time, he was still holding on to the shelf, and he didn't mean to kneel and lick, probably because the decency was still there, and he felt that he still needed him.
Yes, he is still needed now.
When Yuzhou is operated into an iron plate, Wang Yan will depreciate significantly.
"The prince has something to do, so the old man won't bother." Wang Yan said: "You really don't want to enter Luoyang? β
"Does the captain think I should enter Luoyang?"
"If you don't go into the city with a great army, you have nothing to do."
"I want my life." Shao Xun said very bluntly.
What are you kidding, he has been away from Luoyang for so long, and the ghost knows if anyone in the forbidden army has been co-opted by the Son of Heaven.
He won't give anyone else a chance.
Wang Yan smiled bitterly, Chen Hou spoke differently than before, and he was not so cautious.
Now that this is the case, what else is there to say? Go home and rest.
After Wang Yan left, that night, Shao Xun held a banquet in Jingu Garden and had fun with the generals of the forbidden army who were invited.
He seized every opportunity to contact these forbidden army generals and never slackened.
On December 13, he ordered Jin San and Wang Qi'er to lead the silver spear army back to Liang County and Xiangcheng.
At the same time, he ordered Yu Liang to take his subordinates north to Henan, Xingyang, Chenliu, and Hongnong to recruit new soldiers.
Because of the lack of food, this time only 1,200 soldiers from two buildings were recruited, and a small number of additional soldiers were recruited to make up for the shortfall in battle damage.
A group of children and teenagers gathered in Xingyang were also sent to Liangxian Martial Arts School to start their study careers.
These things are done every year, persistently, and are part of the power system. After a long time, you can always see the effect.

After giving these orders, he looked at the empty Golden Valley Garden with a wistful look, and left with his own soldiers.
At the same time, the 1,000 soldiers who did not participate in the war this year also received a conscription order, each with a subordinate, to meet in Yangzhai, and then go to Chen County.
******
The cold wind was blowing strongly, and the frost was everywhere.
On both sides of the Suiyang Canal, the ashes and ruins have been cleared, and new houses have been built.
It was the auxiliary soldiers who did this.
They took out the strength to dig trenches and build camps during the war, and it took only ten days to build more than 1,000 wooden houses.
The people of Tuntian were also mobilized to dredge the damaged ditches and repair the damaged houses while preparing for next year's spring ploughing.
Yang Jian stood by the ditch with his hands behind his back, looking at the snow-covered fields.
Fortunately, there is Guangling Cao grain "borrowed" by Chen Hou, otherwise it will be really difficult to survive next spring.
The four counties of Yangxia, Chen, Wuping, and Ku have received nearly 40,000 people and about 110,000 people, and in order to settle them, the money and grain spent have gone to the sea.
But these are real manpower that can be mobilized, and once they can produce money and food, the effect will be beyond everyone's imagination.
Seeds are available, farming equipment is in short supply, and cattle are scarce, but these difficulties are not insurmountable.
After the millet is sown next spring, as long as there are no major disasters and the autumn harvest is smooth, this group of displaced people will be able to gain a firm foothold.
"Great! Chen Hou gathered the displaced people, which was really bold. Wang Xuan looked at the neatly distributed residential areas according to the teams and battalions, and praised it: "I heard that a batch of people have also been placed in Nanton?" β
Yang Jian nodded and said, "There are more than 6,000 families, most of them are captured by Li Hong, Hou Tuo, and Pang Shi, and they are dragged by their families." It is distributed in all four counties, with a total of 20,000 people. β
Nanton is a small county with only four counties. The new Taishou is Wei Jun, the former captain of the Chang'an Branch, who later defected to Yang Bao, and was then summoned by Chen Hou to ask for the right, and recommended him as the Nanton Taishou after being satisfied.
The county is located in the southwest of Chen County, southeast of Yingchuan, there is the Cao Wei era left over from the Okura City, when the Wei army went south, often ate in Nanton, claimed to have 100,000 people to eat for 40 days of military rations - now empty.
Yangjian can see a little that the focus of Chen Hou's business should be in the western part of Yuzhou, that is, Chen, Nanton, Runan, Yingchuan, Xiangcheng, and Xincai. Among them, Xiangcheng has been controlled quite well, followed by Chen and Nanton.
After the rectification of these three counties was completed, the next one should be Runan, because Chen Hou had just ordered the Langling Tuntian army to be placed.
Langling (now Qushannan) is a county of Runan. After the death of Gonghe in Langling County, Chen Hou took it away, and now it is going to be handed over to the Tuntian army, which plays the role of monitoring the local area like the Tuntian army in Luyang, Yingyang and other places.
The first batch of Langling Tuntian Army only had 300 people, and they were drawn from the Luyang Tuntian Army, and they were already on the road this morning, under the command of a team leader named Peng Ling.
The Tuntian Army will probably also be placed on the Chenjun side, in the area of Ningping City, but it should not be officially established until the autumn harvest is completed next year.
The Tuntian army was regarded as an auxiliary soldier by Chen Hou, but his requirements were too high.
In Yang Jian's opinion, the strength of the Tuntian army is no different from that of the clan's tribe Zhuangke, and it may be worse than Shile's army, but it should not be worse than Wang Mi.
These armies can be requisitioned at any time, can defend the city, transport grain, and even undertake the task of attacking the flank battlefield.
Unconsciously, Marquis Chen already had tens of thousands of troops, and he was a prince of the eight classics.
Wang Xuan nodded secretly when he heard this, and his heart was in vain to bring the stupid woman of the eldest sister over.
It's just a little bit of a shame for thisβalas.
My father has always instructed me not to publicize it, and to keep a low profile. So he left his eldest sister in the building and was guarded by the family soldiers and servants.
However, the eldest sister is a person who can't sit still, and yesterday she actually had to step on the snow to find plums, so that Wang Xuan's forehead was bruised, and she was almost sent back directly.
She seems to understand a little, and she doesn't understand a little, which is a headache.
"The Huns won't come next year, right?" Wang Xuan suddenly thought of a question and asked.
"Maybe it will come." Referring to this, Yang Jian also had a headache.
There is a sense of accomplishment in building.
The resettlement of displaced people in Chen County is basically the responsibility of Yang Jian himself. Seeing that the situation was getting better little by little, he was also quite relieved. If he was destroyed by the thieves, he really couldn't accept it.
Looking at Yang Jian's expression, Wang Xuan understood.
It's really not easy to fight four wars.
At present, there is only one threat from the north, and if the south of Yangzhou and Jingzhou is attacked again, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand it.
Look at Chen Hou's ability.
If you want to gain a foothold in the land of the four wars, you must carry through the previous years. Even if it is very embarrassing and thrilling, as long as you carry it over, with Henan's endowment, it is still very easy to get started.
"Chen Hou is here." Yang Jian looked at the more than 1,000 horses galloping in the distance and said.
Wang Xuan looked at it, quietly adjusted his robe, smiled, and stared into the distance.
More than 1,000 riders dismounted dozens of paces away.
Shao Xun walked over from afar and said, "Yang Gong and Meizi let me look for it." Let's go, follow me to eat red bean porridge. β
