Chapter Eighty-Eight: Meeting

A mile north of the Shama Causeway, countless servants were sweating and ramming the foundation back and forth.

Wei Fu counted roughly, there are always tens of thousands of people.

Most of these large quantities came from the pontoon bridge downstream.

This should be Heyang North City.

Outside the northern city, the camps are connected one after another. The individual is not large, at most there are two or three thousand garrisons, but when combined, it is very large, at least 20,000 troops.

Flags flew high in the camp, and the sergeants sat on the ground, silently waiting for orders.

On the outskirts of the camp, a phalanx of no less than 3,000 infantry was slowly squirming forward.

More than 1,000 cavalry lined up on both sides, cruising uncertainly.

Opposite them, the Hun cavalry was circling in the field.

Seeing them like that, they were not only worried about being caught by the Jin cavalry, so they kept their distance, but also worried about getting into the range of the infantry bows and crossbows, so they kept wandering, trying to find the weak point of the infantry phalanx and defeat it with one blow.

Wei Fu looked tired of them.

If you can't fight, withdraw quickly, it's good for everyone.

Chen Gong is training his troops, if he doesn't want to deal with you and stick to the camp, can he recapture the north shore with cavalry alone?

I don't know what to do.

A patrol cavalry appeared in front, and after some negotiations, Wei Fu was introduced into the Chinese army camp.

"See Chen Gong." Wei Fu actually saw Cheng Yuantan here, could it be that he set off with his front and back feet, and then walked over the North Bridge?

Cheng Yuantan nodded to him, and then continued to talk to Chen Gong: "The land that Chen Gong said, the princess has sent someone to check it, in the east of Shenyang County and the west of Rushui, this is one of the fiefs of the King of Runan. The princess has written a letter asking for this place. ”

"Oh? King Runan is so easy to speak? Shao Xunqi said.

Ming Gong said with a smile, the princess is the sister of the king of Runan, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult to take advantage of it. Moreover, the king of Runan lives in Jiangxia, and he has not looked at Runan for a long time, and it is useless to hold these lands. Cheng Yuantan said.

Sima You, the king of Runan, took refuge in Sima Yue in his early years and was very trusted.

Chang'an, once served as a prison army. After Shao Xun slaughtered Xianbei, he immediately rushed back to report.

He was one of the few kings who was not deprived of his freedom by Sima Yue and detained by his side, and he had been living in Runan before, and then went to Jiangxia fiefdom on the grounds of "full of thieves", and then took refuge in Sima Rui - Sima You, the king of Runan, not only had a fief in Runan, but also in Jiangxia, and 25,000 households were sealed before and after, which was very amazing.

"How is Shenyang County?" Shao Xun asked again.

"The west of the county is still acceptable, there is the stone pond slope opened by Bao Yu in the period of Yongping in the later Han Dynasty, hundreds of hectares can be irrigated at the beginning, and now it is more than 1,000 hectares, and the people all rely on it. The eastern part of the county is somewhat barren, the smoke villages are few, and the people are scarce. After Li Hong's thieves swept by, there were no more people who cultivated alone, only the walls of the fort. Cheng Yuantan said.

"Since the princess has taken the land, let it be hers." Shao Xun said: "I also mentioned it casually at the beginning, and the princess wrote it down, hehe, I heard that the water and grass are abundant, and the princess can just clean it up, and there is no need to report it to me." ”

"Yes." Cheng Yuantan said in a low voice, and said: "Runan has a lot of fields and fields, and there are horses and livestock, but in recent years, the country has been sluggish, and there are few horses in its land, especially stallions. The princess sent her retainers to collect 100 horses, 1,000 donkeys and mules, and selected brave and good warriors from among her own soldiers, and went to Runan to recruit troops, and got 500 people, who were taught to fight by mules, in case of emergency. ”

Shao Xun was shocked when he heard this.

Princess Xiangcheng gave 5,000 households to him at one time two years ago, thinking that she had emptied her family, but she didn't expect it.

He hesitated and groaned for a long time, and finally couldn't wipe off his face.

In this world, there is no serious tax system.

The Son of Heaven relied on Jiangdong, Xuzhou, and Jingzhou for help, and Shao Xun reached out to ask the family for money.

But he always felt embarrassed to ask for money too many times, if he could......

It's just that a man can't lose face in front of a woman.

He has solemnly declared: The era of eating soft rice is gone forever!

Lao Tzu is now very hard at the waist, and continues to gather the wool of the Son of Heaven and the family.

Runan is Caizhou, and Shao Xun doesn't know how this place has such a long history of raising donkeys, but he rarely raises horses. Even if there were, the stallions were brought into battle to fight, and only the mare remained, so many mules were produced.

Of course, that's all the old calendar.

The Eight Kings Rebellion was looted over and over again, Sima You searched for Roman donkeys and mules to give to Ah Yue, the homeless handsome Li Hong plundered again, and the Guanxi homeless people in Nanyang also came to rob more than once, and now there are even fewer donkeys and mules.

Everything has to be restored slowly.

"The soldiers of the princess's mansion have never been in battle and have never seen blood." Shao Xun said: "Next month, I will select a group of protΓ©gΓ©s to go to Shenyang and train with new recruits. ”

"No." Cheng Yuan Tan responded.

It is said that it is training recruits, but in fact it controls military power. But this is not a bad thing, if there is no protection from Gong Chen, the princess is afraid that even the generals and soldiers will not be able to move.

The group of recruits who rode the mule to teach the war in Runan were nominally the princess's troops, but in fact they were Chen Gong's soldiers, and they themselves should know who they were loyal to.

The world is so chaotic, allegiance to a woman, are you kidding me?

"What else do you need, as soon as possible, money, grain, grass, and equipment?" Shao Xun asked.

"Just give me some equipment, food and grass." Cheng Yuantan replied.

"Don't want money?" Shao Xun asked again.

"The public sponsored a donkey trip and sent people to traffick to Chenliu and Nanyang, and they got a lot of ......"

Damn, I'm good at doing business, Shao Xun said with emotion.

He vaguely guessed that Princess Xiangcheng must be doing business under his banner, otherwise it would not have been so smooth - in this world, the business environment is not very good.

He felt like a whale swimming in the sea, with more and more barnacles attached to him, all hitchhiking on him.

But this was also expected, he quickly adjusted his mentality, glanced at Cheng Yuantan, and asked vaguely: "The princess is in good health." ”

"Okay, all right." Cheng Yuantan also replied vaguely.

Shao Xun nodded.

Seeing that Shao Xun had nothing to say, Cheng Yuan Tan saluted and left.

From today onwards, he will take up the post of Heyang County Commander.

After Cheng Yuantan left, Wei Fu stepped forward to report his work: "The day of departure is set for next month, and I happened to return with Beigong Chun's soldiers, I don't know ...... Ming Gong."

"Yes." Shao Xun agreed, and Xuan asked again: "Is there any confidence on the side of the King of Nanyang?" ”

"It should be fine." Wei Fu said: "The king of Nanyang is kind-hearted, obedient, and has no bad intentions. ”

Shao Xun nodded.

He recently learned that this Nanyang King is a fat house!

My biggest hobby is sleeping, I woke up to read a book, and I weigh "800 pounds"!

Of course, this figure is exaggerated, but people who have met Sima Bao say that he is really fat......

The character is indecisive and not very strategic. When the two subordinates quarreled, he couldn't even persuade him, and it was even more impossible to deal with it ruthlessly, he didn't have the heart and courage.

Lack of domination, this is really terrible.

Fat house, unplanned, indecisive, and in such a complex area as Qinzhou, Shao Xun seems to have seen the end of Sima Bao.

And he has impotence, and he can't be a royal woman, so he can't give birth to offspring, how can you make the retainers and generals be loyal? Didn't run away!

"What is the situation in Guanzhong?" Shao Xun asked.

"It's messy." Wei Fu replied: "Jia Kai is a stabbing history, and he is not on good terms with the governor Liang Zong. The Koji brothers also fought with Jia Kai, and led their troops back to Xinping after being defeated. Peng Tianhu, the son of Peng Dangzhong, claimed to avenge his father, wanted to kill him, and made a mess. ”

Shao Xun bowed slightly.

In fact, this is the consequence of the lack of prestige of the imperial court.

At the beginning of the siege of Liu Yao, there were at least four "Jin troops" in Guanzhong that were not subordinate to each other, and after defeating the Xiongnu, no one obeyed anyone.

The imperial court appointed the Assassin and the Governor, and did not reconcile the contradictions between them.

Peng Dangzhong was the leader of Lu Shuihu in Anding County, and once worshipped Jia Kai as a brother. Jia Kai borrowed troops from Peng Dangzhong many times, but he refused to obey.

After Liu Yao and Liu Cang captured Chang'an, Peng Dangzhong accepted Liu Han's appointment as the assassin of Liangzhou.

Jia Kai was very dissatisfied with this, so he disregarded his brotherhood and attacked and killed Peng Dangzhong, and now his son is coming to take revenge.

The most pitiful thing is that Peng Tianhu secretly sent people to Chang'an for activities, and the Qiang and Hu soldiers under Jia Kai's men scattered one after another - more than ninety percent of Jia Kai's army to recover Chang'an were Hu soldiers.

The situation in Guanzhong is very delicate, so much so that Shao Xun is worried about whether his people can return smoothly, don't be hacked, this possibility is quite small.

"Does Ming Gong intend to close the middle?" Wei Fu asked quietly.

"Intentional is intentional, but beyond our power." Shao Xun said: "Liu Cang herded horses in Hanoi, staring at the three cities of Heyang. Next year, I am worried that the Xiongnu will come to the country, and then there will be a series of wars, how can I have the ability to meddle in Guanzhong. ”

Wei Fu nodded yes.

"It would be nice if I could buy some horses, recruit some soldiers, and get to know some soldiers, heroes, and chieftains." Shao Xun said: "The most important thing is to buy a horse. ”

"Yes." Wei Fu responded.

The sound of passwords outside the tent was everywhere, and the sonorous sound of the armor leaves patrolling by the pro-soldiers was endless.

Shao Xun stood up, walked around the tent, and asked in a low voice, "Is the concubine still used to Nanyang?" ”

"After the concubine arrived in Nanyang, everything went well." Wei Fu said: "There are some old people from the palace who have been separated for a long time in Guanzhong who have come to serve, and their momentum is getting stronger. Liang Dudu didn't look for trouble, and he was stable. ”

"How is the princess?"

"I was sick a while ago, and I have only recently recovered."

"Huh?" Shao Xun frowned, a little irritable, and after a pause, he said: "The princess took the princess, and when others saw it, I was afraid that they would gossip." It's better to send it back to Xuchang, and I'll find someone to raise it. ”

"I'm afraid the concubine won't agree." Wei Fu said.

Sima Bao is in Qinzhou, Sima Li is staying in Guangchengze, if the princess is not around, how can the concubine support it?

Shao Xun also knew that this matter was unreliable, so he didn't mention it anymore and said, "You should go back early." Beigong Chun and the others are like arrows, and they are about to leave, and it will be a few days. In addition, Wu was sixty years old the year before last, so he should take care of it more on the road. ”

"Yes." Wei Fu replied.

"In a few days, I'm going back." After Shao Xun finished speaking, he waved his hand.

Wei Fu bowed and retired.

Shao Xun came out of the big tent and climbed on a high platform to overlook the land of Hanoi.

After Liu Cang and Liu Yao led their troops south, they saw that the camp here was complete, so they did not come hard.

In the early winter, the Huns probably couldn't mobilize a large number of infantry troops to besiege it, and the three cities of Heyang were safe for the time being.

Even so, he didn't want to stay here for long.

The defense was entrusted to Wang Qi'er, and he returned to Luoyang.

He wants to see the Son of Heaven and sit down and have a good talk.
