At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 120 The First Target: Wudang
The Xueyan tribe and the three Shatuo tribes have been a huge headache for both the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Central Plains for decades.

But she surrendered to Xiliang and willingly swore to fight to the death for this man.

He has too many questions.

There are so many questions.

There are too many problems.

But she didn't intend to ask, she wanted to find the answer with her own eyes.

Yuwen Yulou retracted his gaze and followed quietly behind until he entered the General Pingxi's Mansion.

It is already the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.

It's freezing cold.

The heavy snow was like goose feathers, covering the sky and the ground.

In the study room.

There was a charcoal fire with boiling water on it. He shook off the snow on his body outside the door before stepping in.

"warm."

He rubbed his hands.

Miaoyu helped him take off his cloak, and made a cup of hot tea and brought it to him. The faint fragrance of tea filled the room.

"Sir, you have been walking on the grassland for more than half a month. What do you see and feel?"

She spoke.

"good."

Xiao Han sat down by the stove, "It should be no problem for the three Shatuo tribes to survive this winter."

"Next spring, bring more seeds over. Then we can open up the land near the banks of the Shule River and give a good harvest of wheat and corn."

"From now on, there will be no more three Shatuo tribes in this world, only three Shatuo guards."

"With a three-pronged approach of garrisoning the border, cultivating farmland, and building cities, within a few years, the entire western grassland will be incorporated into Shangdang's territory."

"The young master's strategic vision can only be described as long-term."

Miaoyu took a piece of silk soaked in hot water and carefully wiped the dust off his face.

"Spring ploughing is only three months away."

Xiao Han lay sideways with his feet on the table, enjoying himself greatly.

"I don't know how Xiahou Qing's strategy of attracting the people is being implemented."

In the past two years, refugees have been introduced from Bingzhou, Jizhou and Northern Wei, and the land in Xiliang is basically saturated.

However, there are still large tracts of wasteland in Xia Pi and Shang Dang counties. If there is no one, who will reclaim it?
So since winter, he asked Xiahou Qing to increase the number of refugees brought in from all over the place.

"The snow won't melt until the end of February, so it's still a long way off."

Miaoyu said, "It's just you, sir, who wants to finish all the tasks at once."

"Besides, aren't you clear about Mr. Xiahou's abilities?"

"Too."

Xiao Han nodded in agreement. Xiahou Qing's abilities were indeed impeccable.

"This winter, young master, you should have a good rest."

She came close to him, her peak resting on the back of his head, her fair hands gently massaging his temples.

"The military training is done by Lu Ju and Shi Qing, and the political affairs are done by Pan Yuanshao and Xiahou Qing.

Miaoyu said in a gentle tone: "You are a dignified second-rank general of Pingxi, how can you do everything yourself?"

Xiao Han rubbed his head against hers, Miaoyu blushed slightly, and said angrily: "Don't move."

"I'll take a good rest during this time."

He closed his eyes and enjoyed the massage.

"Where is that little bastard from the Xie family recently?"

"In Yuzhou, we were chased by bandits all day long."

Miaoyu said, "If you ask me, those assassins from the imperial court are too useless. If the Six Sword Slaves were sent, they would have taken back this kid's head long ago."

"No hurry, no hurry."

Xiao Han raised his lips, "He is not important and can't cause much trouble. Your young master's opponent is the Marquis of Zhenbei."

He knew most of Xie Xuanli's hidden chess pieces.

Even if Xie Xuanli could find out some of Xiao Han's hidden cards, it was only a few.

The enemy is in the light while we are in the dark; this is our advantage.

The son of the Marquis of Zhenbei hid his incompetence for more than ten years. Although he succeeded in deceiving the whole world, he made people in Jizhou extremely disappointed in him.

This is also Xiao Han's advantage.

Now that Xiliang is peaceful and there are no more major wars, he is starting to reach out to the Central Plains martial arts world.

The first target is Wudang.

Longhu Mountain relies on the imperial court, occupies the position of Taoism, and commands the Taoist sects all over the world, while Wudang, a down-and-out disciple, can only rely on Jizhou and survive.

Xiao Han was very clear about the relationship between Jizhou and Wudang.

So he made Wudang his first target.

"Yu'er, how do you think we should target Wudang?"

Xiao Han asked.

"Against Wudang?"

Miaoyu was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant, apparently she had come to her senses.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Wudang is a martial arts sect, and is located in Jiyou territory. If you want to deal with Wudang, you can only enter from the martial arts world."

"Longhu Mountain?"

He narrowed his eyes.

"If we use Longhushan to deal with Wudang, it's not impossible."

"But I'm afraid the people in Longhu Mountain are too cunning and don't want to be the knife."

"Those old celestial masters are more slippery than the other."

Miaoyu said: "It's not easy to deal with."

"You have to be one even if you don't want to."

Xiao Han curled his lips: "If they want to bet on both sides, I want to see if they have the strength to do so."

"Sir, if Longhu Mountain is not feasible, we can still let the Demon Sect make this knife."

Miaoyu chuckled, "Don't forget, we are allies with the Demon Sect."

"That old fox Nie Si Niang is not someone you can easily deal with."

He shook his head.

"It's not up to her."

Miaoyu was confident: "A few days ago, Elder Xiong came to me and said that the Demon Sect wanted to develop its power in Xiapi and Shangdang."

"You can ask for benefits, but you have to give something in exchange."

"Good Yu'er, you are so smart."

Xiao Han held her fair palm, exerted a little force, and held her in his arms, and his right hand roughly reached into his robe.

Cao Ruixue walked to the door with a roll of official documents in her hand and was about to go into the house when she happened to see this scene.

He immediately withdrew, lowered his head, knocked on the door, and whispered, "Sir, are you free?"

"Sir, stop making trouble. Xue'er is here."

Miaoyu's pretty face turned slightly red and her delicate body struggled slightly, but Xiao Han just pinched those two points with two fingers and applied a little force, and she dared not move.

"available."

Cao Ruixue entered the room only after hearing her master's voice, but Xiao Han did not restrain himself at all.

So much so that Miaoyu in his arms simply closed her eyes.

"Sir, this is the list of New Year gifts sent by Qilianwei. Please check it out."

After saying that, he lowered his head and walked out.

"Snapped."

The door closes.

"Xue'er, what's the hurry?"

he said with a smile.

Naturally, he had to teach them martial arts. Miaoyu was okay, as she was able to withstand Xiao Han's sword, but Cao Ruixue's martial arts skills were poor, and after three or five moves, she begged for mercy and admitted defeat.

It took him more than an hour to finish practicing swordsmanship. He looked refreshed, but it was a pity for Cao Ruixue, who had only come to deliver official documents.

As a result, when I went back, I was sweating and limping.

The night ends.

Dark clouds rolled in.

The snow keeps on falling.

suddenly.

A powerful aura burst out from the knife sharpening hall, sharp and sharp, invisible and intangible.

"Breakthrough."

Xiao Han stood up, glanced at Miaoyu who was still sleeping soundly, and walked out of the room.

The next moment, he appeared outside the Knife Sharpening Hall.
