Regarding the matter of sealing the king, Yuan Qi personally wrote a letter back to Yuan Xie, indicating that he was already a very popular minister and was not suitable for another reward. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the next two months, the edict of the Yuan Association and the twists and turns of the Yuan Qi were passed back and forth between the capital and Tongzhou like a marquee. Yuan Xie asked Yuan Qi very earnestly and again if he was willing to be crowned king, but Yuan Qi repeatedly refused, and always refused to accept Yuan Xie's canonization. In the end, Yuan Xie had no choice but to suspend the title of king of Yuan Qi.

The reason why Yuan Qi did this was because he didn't want to tell the truth, so as not to be named a person like Taishan with a notoriety of high merit. Like Mount Tai, there are many people who are superficially benevolent and moral, but in fact harbor evil intentions, they are greedy for utilitarianism, but they can't get the expected utilitarianism, and they will be jealous of some people who are more successful than them, such as Yuan Qi. As a result, verbal slander, but under their hypocritical pretenses, there are many people who do not know why will listen to their words, thus forming a pressure of public opinion, which will have a certain negative impact on Yuanqi.

Another point, Yuan Qi knows that Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, now he sits on the five northern states, and the power territory is already the first person among the princes in the world, and there are many people who are dissatisfied with themselves or afraid of themselves, if they are crowned king, it will definitely become the fuse that ignites the dissatisfaction in the hearts of those people, even if it is Ugong Zhaolie, who has agreed with Yuan Qi on an alliance strategy, maybe he will turn to stand in his own right, Yuan Qi does not want to be isolated, let alone become the target of the public, so he will naturally insist on not accepting the matter of sealing the king。

And from the original heart of the beginning. He also doesn't pay much attention to the king or not, the current Yuan Qi has a strong army, and there are countless excellent soldiers under his rule, and they can be conscripted into the army at any time and transformed into elite soldiers, the military force is particularly strong, and the privilege of opening the government, and as the governor of the capital, he leads the military and political affairs of the five northern states, such an identity status. What's the difference with a king? It's just a false name missing a throne. Between actual interests and false fame, Yuan Qi is still willing to choose the former.

Just when Yuan Qi and Yuan Xie were communicating back and forth, Lu Su came to Tongzhou with an army of 30,000 a month ago and officially took office. At the same time, Lusu also brought a large number of craftsmen and some florists to prepare for the planning and construction of Tongzhou. The construction of cities and towns in densely populated areas can not only strengthen the defense of the people of Tongzhou, but also promote cultural exchanges and integration between ethnic groups. Those florists were specially ordered by Yuan Qi to be brought by Lu Su. The intention is to let them choose a place where the desert is rich in water and grass, plant a large number of flowers and trees, implement greening, and prevent desertification of the land. As a traverser, Yuanqi's awareness of environmental protection is still very strong.

In addition, there are 20,000 Thorn Pagoda people, some Goguryeo and Buyeo people, and even some enlightened Han people, who also came to the desert with the army of Lusu, and they are willing to settle down on the desert, jointly build the desert, and build the desert into a new Tongzhou. The arrival of these people also added vitality to the barren desert and gave a desert covered with yellow sand hope for reconstruction.

After Lu Su arrived, the first thing was to let the craftsmen he brought to build a city near Greedy Wolf Mountain, and after that, this was the administrative center of Tongzhou. After the construction of the greedy wolf city is completed, Lusu will also build two more big cities in Qilian Mountain and Yanzhi Mountain respectively for the people in the territory to live, and then build some small towns one after another, so that more people who live on nomadism can have a solid and stable residence and get rid of backward production methods.

At the same time of building the city, Lu Su had to go around among the Xinman captives every day, chat with them about some household routines, discuss trivial topics such as the production and breeding of cattle and sheep, and imperceptibly infiltrate the customs of the Han people into the conversation little by little, so that the Xin barbarians are gradually full of yearning for the life of the Han people, many old people and children, under the influence of Lu Su, voluntarily devote themselves to the construction of the city, and do their part for the homes they are about to have, while those Xinman women spontaneously gather together, through the limited food distributed to their hands, process and improve, and cook a food with a strong Xin Barbarian atmosphere, sent to the busy construction site, to reward those sweaty craftsmen. Through such a detail, the mutual hatred between the Han and Xin barbarians was gradually erased, and in Tongzhou, they united and worked together to build a common homeland.

After that, Lu Su promulgated the laws of Tongzhou, and all the rules and regulations were strictly implemented in accordance with the laws of Yanjing. Under the early efforts of Lu Su, the promulgation and implementation of the Yanjing Law did not encounter any obstacles, and in just one month, it replaced the original customs of the desert and became the only legal code in Tongzhou.

With the passage of time and Lu Su's efforts, hundreds of thousands of captured Xin barbarians, who no longer called themselves Xin barbarians, opened their hearts and began to accept sinicization, and worked hard to integrate themselves into the customs of the Han people. Seeing that Lu Su had solved the hidden danger of the Xin barbarians in such a short time, Yuan Qi, Zhuge Liang and others were amazed, and at the same time, they were also released from the custody of the Xin barbarians and let them move freely.

Another month passed, and Yuan Qi felt that everything in Tongzhou, under Lu Su's care, had been on the right track and began to develop in a good direction in an orderly manner, so he completely relieved himself and decided to return to Yanjing. The biggest enemy in front of Yuan Qi is still Yuan Ding, and it is impossible for Yuan Qi to delay too much time in Tongzhou.

A few days later, Yuan Qi embarked on the road back to Yanjing with an army of 40,000 who had survived the war, as well as nearly 100,000 barbarians from Ottawa and Manila. Just a few days after leaving, the members of Qianlong sent an explosive message to Yuan Qi. Ugong Zhaolie finally used troops in Xuzhou, he led an army of 100,000 to attack Xuzhou under the banner of avenging his father, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian fought with illness, and lost his troops in successive battles, and his mood was extremely depressed. On the ninth day of the confrontation between the two armies, he vomited blood in the city of Xuzhou and died. Without Tao Qian, Xuzhou's military spirit would be dispersed, and Ugong Zhaolie's capture of Xuzhou would only be a matter of ten days.

The timing of Unomiya Terulie's raid on Xuzhou this time was very good, Yuan Qi led his army to the north and was not in Yanjing; Taishan fled south in a hurry and defected to Yuanbiao; Yuan Ding was indecisive and missed a good opportunity; and Sun Ce led Jiangdong at the beginning of his reign, but his power was not stable. Several of the princes who posed the greatest threat to Unomiya Terulie were not in the best condition, giving Umiya Terulie such a great opportunity to expand his territory. What is ridiculous is that Mount Tai, who cherishes his reputation on the surface, shamelessly proceeds from the position of righteousness. wrote a letter to Unomiya Terulie to dissuade Unomiya Terulie from attacking Xuzhou. As everyone knows, who was the first to escape from Xuzhou. For Tarzan's Letters. Ugong Terulie naturally ignored it, didn't even bother to look at the letter, and directly tore Taishan's letter to shreds in front of the messenger, which was equivalent to a heavy slap in Taishan's face. In the aftermath, Tarzan did not react either. Seeing Unomiya Teruje storming Xuzhou, he didn't even send symbolic reinforcements.

Nominally, Unomiya Terulie beat Xuzhou to avenge his father, and no one can say that what he did was wrong. It is a matter of course to avenge his father, and Ugong Zhaolie's father Ugong Song did die in the hands of Tao Qian's subordinate Zhang Min. In this regard, Yuan Qi could only sigh, but he couldn't stop Ugong Terulie's attack. However, Yuan Qi still wrote a private letter to Ugong Terulie, which did not dissuade Ugong Terulie from attacking the city, but only persuaded Umiya Terulie not to vent his personal hatred on ordinary people, and not to carry out things such as slaughtering the city after conquering Xuzhou.

In view of this, Yuan Qi specially wrote this letter to Ugong Terulie, and while persuading, he also said that if Ugong Terulie was short of food, he could send some Xuzhou people to Youzhou, and Yuan Qi would send his subordinates to receive these people, so as to reduce the burden on Ugong Terulie. Yuan Qi couldn't save Xuzhou thousands of miles away, but he still tried his best to save the people of Xuzhou. Yuan Qi believes that for his own opinions, Ugong Terulie will definitely attach great importance to it, and will never despise it as much as he does to Taishan, because if Umiya Terulie wants to eliminate Yuan Ding, he will also rely on Yuan Qi's power.

As Yuan Qi expected, a few days later, before the Yuan Qi army reached Yanjing, the members of Qianlong once again came with the news that Xuzhou had been conquered by Ugong Zhaolie. After the city was broken, Ugong Zhaolie still carried out a large-scale massacre for a whole day, which reduced the number of soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou by 100,000, but because Yuanqi's letter was delivered in time, Ugong Zhaolie weighed it again and again, listened to Yuanqi's advice, did not let the massacre continue, and spread Yuanqi's letter to the counties of Xuzhou, telling the soldiers and civilians in the territory that it was Yuanqi's letter that saved them.

As for why Ugong Zhaolie wants to spread Yuanqi's letter to the Quartet, and use his own cruelty to show Yuanqi's benevolence, Ugong Zhaolie is also very meaningful, on the one hand, this can deter the Xuzhou sergeants, let them know that their lives are in the hands of Ugong Zhaolie at any time, and then they dare not have the slightest resistance to Ugong Zhaolie's orders; on the other hand, Ugong Zhaolie recruited 130,000 old and weak in Xuzhou, gave them five days of rations, and let them go north to Youzhou, these old and weak, in Ugong Zhaolie's view, in addition to consuming food, there is no other use。 While demonstrating Yuanqi's benevolence, he rightfully threw this group of old and weak to Yuanqi, and Unomiya Terulie wanted this group of old and weak to consume Yuanqi's food and add a burden to Yuanqi.

Although Yuan Qi saw through Ugong Terulie's intentions, he still issued an order on the march, asking Xun Luo and others, who were sitting in Youzhou, to send people to receive this group of old and weak. Unlike Unomiya Terulie's view, Motoki believes that everyone has their own value. As for those weak children, that represents the future, Yuan Qi has no reason to turn away the future young and strong, some of them are very likely to grow up to become the backbone of Yuan Qi's command or even elite soldiers in the future; there are some of them, Yuan Qi does not have the mind of patriarchy, where there are women, there will be life, and women are the creators of life. Therefore, Yuan Qi plans to take over all these 130,000 old and weak, and then resettle them in Mingzhou or Tongzhou, which just so happens to lack population. These 130,000 homeless Han people are bound to regard Tongzhou and Mingzhou as their own homes, and together with the people there, they will do their best to build their own homes, and strive to make Mingzhou and Tongzhou catch up with other states in the economy as soon as possible.

Xun Luo also carried out Yuan Qi's order very thoroughly, and immediately asked Zuo Ci, who had just returned to Yanjing not long ago, to meet this group of refugees by land, and at the same time asked Gan Jing to drive thirty large building boats along the coast to meet them. Strive to bring these 130,000 refugees back to Youzhou as soon as possible.
