Shu Chen

Chapter 356
In late winter and December, the world is full of vastness.

But the smiling faces of Li Shu in the counties and townships of Wuwei County are as comfortable as the spring breeze.

Without him, with the end of the battle in the Lushui tributary, the sound of horseshoes that had disturbed them for several months finally disappeared, and they finally didn't have to worry about going out to collect firewood.

Therefore, they also began to find the sound of horseshoes pleasant.

It was the sound of horseshoes of cavalry soldiers of the Han Hu Qiang battalion on daily inspections and guards, which could protect their sound.

Yes, it is only the Qiang Hu camp.

As soon as the battle was over, Zhao Guangbu hurriedly packed his bags and rushed back.

How many cavalry pawns the big man has is no secret to Wei Guo. After Fei Yao returns, he must be able to guess who was ambushed.Zhao Guang was worried that the Guanchuan River Valley would be lost, so he was in a hurry.

The surviving Shaodang Qiang people also returned to the West Sea (Qinghai Lake).

The war here is over, and the big Han is still unable to go deep into Xiu Tuze and Ju Yanze to attack the left and right of the Southern Huns and the Xianbei Tuoba tribe directly at Huanglong, so Wei Yan sent them back.The reason for such haste is because of the food and fodder consumed by the [-] cavalry and horses every day, which is really heart-wrenching.
cough!
Naturally, the rhetoric given is very high-sounding.

They claimed to be diligent in the king's affairs, and lost nearly [-] horses in this battle. The Han court did not want to see them planting Qiang tribes and adding orphans and widows, so they let them go home.In addition, according to the custom of the Han army, the rewards for their achievements and the family pensions for the dead were recorded, so that they can return home with gratitude.

As for Shaodang Qiang King Mangzhong, when he asked himself to send troops to fight for the country, the emperor Liu Chan had already bestowed a lot of property and encouragement, and there was no need to reward him again.At most, at the end of the year, when the court rewards courtiers and soldiers according to the rules, send people to send some luxurious things.

Among them, there is a small episode.

When many Shaodang Qiang people received their rewards and were about to return home, they went to Zhang Bao privately and asked if they could continue to follow him.

This is also the convention of Xiqiang.

The strong in the tribe rule the roost by force, and the weak choose the strong to follow.

Seeing Zhang Bao's invincibility in charge, and seeing that the Han Dynasty court gave compensation to the families of those who died in battle, these Qiang people of Shaodangzhong were naturally more willing to become righteous followers.

Furthermore, in any case, although the Hexi Corridor is famous for its barren land, it is easier to survive than their habitat.

Zhang Bao couldn't agree to this.

King Mangzhong of the Qiang Dynasty abided by the festival of loyalty and righteousness and kindly sent troops to help in the war. How could he take the opportunity to recruit his clan and make the court unjust?

However, he didn't say anything dead.

In addition to refusing on the grounds that he could not specialize, he also specifically explained Yi Cong's method in detail.

For example, if you need to move your family into the Dahan County, you will be restricted by the government's registered household registration; if you are granted land and military status, you can enjoy the preferential treatment of the court, and you need to go through martial arts and abide by military laws as a soldier of the Han Dynasty, etc. Wait.

It is a metaphor for them to go back and wait first, and then apply for the whole family when the big man expands the cavalry in the future.

As for whether they understand
Hey, if you have something, you will be happy to accept it, if you don't, you will treat it as something that has never happened before.

Why do you want to seek it!
The news of the great victory spread back to Longyou Ji County, and everyone rejoiced.

The prime minister's eyebrows stretched even more, and his old feelings were very relieved.

Firstly, it was because Zhao Guangbu had been going to Wuwei County for a long time to support him, and the Prime Minister was vaguely worried that the act of pretending to be Han cavalry by Liang Yuanbi tribesmen would be seen through by the anti-Wei scouts, and they would use their tactics to drive troops to attack.

The tricks and tricks will eventually be exposed.

The other is to be gratified that the cavalry of the Han Dynasty can already rival the Ni Wei!
Fighting with infantry, the big men have frequently won the battles in recent years. If the cavalry makes great achievements today, what should we worry about in the future when we ride into Guanzhong to return the old capital?
The only problem is that there is not enough food and fodder and military use!

"Bo Yue has extraordinary talents, so I don't have to worry about Hexi!"

When the Prime Minister, who was sitting at the desk, signaled General Zheng Pu to take the newspaper to read, he said something with a gurgling smile.

Immediately, he fixed his eyes on Zheng Pu again, and said in an earnest tone, "Zijin seems to have not had time to take a bath for a long time. After doing business today, let's go home and rest for three days. Recovering the Central Plains is not a one-day effort, Zijin Although Jin is in his prime, don't spare yourself."

Zheng Pu, who was coming to receive the military report, smiled wryly upon hearing this.

It is really strange to be told by the prime minister who is an elderly man, who is also hands-on and diligent day and night, to cherish his body.

But Zheng Pu couldn't refute anything.

Gein's complexion is really bad now.

Even the white beard and hair of the prime minister's face still had a faint rosy glow, but his complexion was sallow, and his brows and eyes were extremely dark.

He has been overworked these days.

Now the prime minister's office in Ji County has more and more busy affairs than the prime minister's office in Chengdu.

Since the prime minister's Southern Expedition, the people in Bashu have been safe and orderly, and there is no shortage of bureaucrats and assistants. Therefore, even though the prime minister's office in Chengdu is also in charge of the government, there are really not many affairs.

However, the Prime Minister's Office of Ji County governs Hanzhong, Wudu, Yinping, Longyou, and the counties of Liangzhou. The conflict between the Qiang and Hu tribes, and so on.A lot of trivialities are mixed together, which makes the dilemma of insufficient assistants more obvious.

Xiang Lang, the Chinese military commander who is in charge of all affairs, is in his seventies after all, although he is in good spirits.

He only cares about the general affairs, and no one will bother him with the details.

Ma Di, who came back to work in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Dong Jue, who was transferred to Jixian County, are now low in power and unfamiliar with many affairs, so it is difficult to make decisions on military deployment; there are still Zong Yu, Liu Min and others who are stationed outside.

As for Yang Yi, he returned to Shu to serve as the prefect of Qianwei.

After all, he is irreversible.

In the previous episode, he hurt Liaozuo and stayed in affairs, and was stripped of his authority by the prime minister to stay in his post to see what to do next. He didn't want to repent, but became more obsessed and angry!

And in private, there are faint words of resentment.

The prime minister was greatly disappointed, and he no longer left him in Longyou and missed the Northern Expedition.

But thinking of his past achievements, he was invited to return to Shu as the shepherd's place.If he continues to be mad, he should be with Liao Li for the rest of his life.

Under such circumstances, Zheng Pu, who is the post-military adviser of the prime minister's mansion, does his part to take care of everything, so it is rare for him to have a moment of leisure.

Because if he gets leisure, then the prime minister will turn on the lamp every night.

However, his efficiency in handling affairs is quite good, although it is not as quick as Yang Yi's to decide everything, but with the help of many colleagues, he will not be so busy that he looks ashamed.

The real reason that made him mentally ill, he couldn't tell: heirs.

Stimulated by his concubine Du Shi's pregnancy again, he will naturally have another time when his waist is sore and his legs are weak, and he can't feel fully.

Fortunately, after working hard, his wife Zhang Yan was finally pregnant just as his concubine Du Shi was about to give birth!He has just entered his thirties but his temples are already gray. After hearing the news and verifying it many times, he almost didn't hide his face and wept on the spot.
cough!
Outsiders don't know why the account is closed.

Therefore, everyone thought that he was dedicated to serving the public and worked diligently so that he became thinner day by day. Even the prime minister misunderstood him and advised him to cherish his life. How could he not be embarrassed?

However, it is true that he has not had Xiu Mu for a long time.

And he also thought that he could stay at home for a few days.

After learning that his wife and concubines were pregnant, his mother, Lu Shi, came from Shifang to live in Longyou temporarily.

According to her words in the letter, she is not yet fifty, and she is still in good health, and the rugged and difficult road to Shu is not worrying.But newborns cannot bear the pain of trekking. If she doesn't come now, she may have to wait more than ten years before she can have the joy of babysitting her grandchildren.And life is impermanent, she may not be able to wait for that day to come.

As soon as this remark came out, no one in the family could refute it, only many followers were sent all the way to Longyou to protect them.

It also made Zheng Pu feel ashamed of not being filial for so many years, so he thought about going home with Xiu Mu for a few more days.

Just as the prime minister mentioned it, he just pushed the boat along.

Anyway, after the great victory in the tributary of Lushui River, the Wei State should have stopped for a while, and the affairs of the Prime Minister's other office will also be cleared up, and Xiu Mu will not be stranded on official duties.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your compassion."

Zheng Pu, who was stupefied for a moment, took the military report and smiled coyly, "Just as my mother arrived in Longyou, Pu has the audacity to accept the rest period."

"Hey, what happened?"

Unexpectedly, the prime minister raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and immediately stroked his beard with a smile, "Since this is the case, let Zijin rest for five days." Without waiting for Zheng Pu's refusal, he added, "Hundreds of goodness and filial piety come first. Zijin is missing in this office for a few days, and everything will not be difficult, so there is no need to refuse."

Uh.
Having said so much, Zheng Pu had no choice but to thank him again.

However, after returning to his seat, he saw that the prime minister was smiling as usual, so he brought up the matter, "Prime Minister, when Pu and Brother Yunnan met in Hanzhong earlier, he also talked about the backwardness of Bashu, and he praised a person very much. He resigned, claiming that he was qualified to serve in the Prime Minister's Office. When Pu heard about it, he was very surprised, so he wrote to Shu and asked his brother to investigate. He was just like what Brother Yunnan said. Today, the Prime Minister's Office is busy and there are few assistants. I boldly recommend it, but I hope it will be beneficial to the time."

"Oh, I don't know who it is?"

Hearing this, the prime minister's eyes were shining brightly, his face was even brighter, and he urged, "Zijin speak quickly!"

"promise."

Zheng Pu said softly, "It's the person who is forbidden in the present palace, Huang Chong Huang Zongxun from Brazil."

After hearing this, the prime minister made a nasal sound, then drooped his eyes and thought to himself.

It's not that he questioned Huang Chong's talent.

Qiao Zhou, who is also a Brazilian, recommended Huang Chong, perhaps with a little hometown friendship.But since Zheng Pu recommended him at the same time, it is enough to conclude that his talent is really usable.

After all, Zheng Pu never raises people easily.

But every time he talks about people, he almost hits the mark.

The prime minister's thoughts are because Huang Chong is the son of Huang Quan who voted for Wei.

Although the first emperor once said that "Huang Quan is not responsible for the power, the power is not responsible for the lonely", and before the prime minister's southern expedition, in order to take the wealth of the Bashu wealthy family and use it for national use and to cooperate with him in the Northern Expedition, Huang Chongte, who was less than ten years old at the time, was sent to the north. Entering the palace with kindness is forbidden to be a sacrificial person.

But the invisible shackles carried by Huang Chong cannot be removed: after the traitor.

That is the cognition and definition that grows in the human heart, and there is no possibility of changing it.

Especially now that Huang Quan is still alive, and was awarded the post of governor of Yizhou by the state of Wei.

Under such circumstances, at the time when the soldiers of the Northern Expedition were doing their best, they asked a traitor to come to Longyou to serve as a deputy in the prime minister's mansion. The prime minister naturally had to think carefully about whether this move would arouse people's disappointment.
