Chapter 758 Shizhou

The Shizhou resident Lishi County is located next to Chihongshui. It is a valley that is swept out from the river among mountains. The land in the valley is fertile and suitable for farming. Unfortunately, it is too small, so you can clearly see the mountains by looking up.

When I entered the county town, I saw the crowds in the city, bustling.

Jiang Min said to Zhang Jun: "After we occupied Lishi County, all the people around us who were hiding from the Jin soldiers fled here. There is no way. Except for the army, these people still have to be raised. It will take more than half a year to arrange military farms and harvest food. So we will raise these people until May next year."

Zhang Jun said: "Looking at the city, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people?"

Jiang Min said: "Not so many. There are more than 8,000 people who are now avoiding the city."

Zhang Jun sighed: "More than 8,000 people have emerged out of thin air, it is not easy to fill your stomach."

Jiang Min nodded and said nothing.

After entering the county government office, the staff officer Wei Ren, the Zuo Yu Hou Zhang Chi and the secretary Qiu Sheng came to see him.

Jiang Min said: "The headquarters of our army is missing a right-right Yuhou Chi Yuping. He went to Fangshan County to inspect and could not come back for a while."

Zhang Jun said: "Wei Ren and Zhang Chi have known each other before, but the secretary is a little bit distant."

Jiang Min said: "Qiu Sheng was originally the chief secretary of the former First Army. He was valued by Xuanfu, so he was transferred here."

Wei Ren and Qiu Sheng were both mobilized at the same level. However, everyone understands that this army is different from other armies, and they are happy to come.

When we arrived at the official hall, Jiang Min said, "Tonight we welcome the commander. Tomorrow afternoon, after Chi Yuping comes back, we will come here to discuss matters together. - Our future tasks, how to do things, what to do, and everything we need to do."

Everyone said yes.

Qiu Sheng went down to prepare for a reception banquet, while the rest sat in the official hall and chatted.

Wei Ren said: "When I arrived in Shizhou, the first thing I had to face was Zhe Keqiu, the prefecture. In addition, there were three forces. One was Wei Shouqiu of Feiyuan Fort in Lanzhou. I heard that there were thousands of people, the second was Luanqingshan of Tuhe Village in Xinzhou, with more than ten thousand people; the third was Zhang Guang's troops in Chini Fort in Loufan County, Lanzhou. These people occupied the land, had troops, and were not subject to the control of the Jin people."

Zhang Jun heard this and asked, "Is that Luan Qingshan from Zhongyuan?"

Wei Ren smiled and said, "Yes. This is really a character. I heard that he was an imperial guard at first, but later he joined Xuanfu's tent. However, he was not in charge of the control and fled out of the army and wandered around Xuzhou. Later, he entered Dengfeng Ding Jin's tent. Xuanfu merged Ding Jin, and he came to Jinzhou Baowei Village. Xuanfu's army headed north and he ran away again. This time he ran farther and arrived at Tuhe Village in Xinzhou, and occupied it as the king."

Zhang Jun nodded: "It's him! I had contacted him when I was in Dengfeng back then. This person is hard to describe! Alas——"

When he heard about Luan Qingshan, Zhang Jun shook his head repeatedly. This was a soldier of the imperial guards, who was born to be unwilling to do so. After escaping from Wang Xiaolie's army, he was trapped in various forces, as if he was in water. Wang Xiaolie occupied Dengfeng and asked him to go north to Hedong to develop his power. In the past two years, he subdued all kinds of strong men and separatist sides, and was very ruthless under the rule of the Jin army. I heard that the Jin army attaches great importance to him now and wants to recruit peace.

Looking at Zhang Jun's expression, Wei Ren said: "Many people say that Luan Qingshan came to Hedong to get the support of Xuanfu, and let him mess up the Jin people's rear. Some of the strong men who were separatist in the country believed in this and believed in him very much."

Zhang Jun thought for a while and said, "Xuan Fu didn't tell us about this kind of thing, so we should not guess randomly."

Jiang Min said: "Yes, as long as Xuanfu didn't tell us, then just pretend he didn't, and do whatever he wanted."

Wei Ren said: "After we occupied Shizhou, we came into contact with these forces in the north. We took a few months to touch the attitude of these people and then make a decision. Luan Qingshan is the farthest away, so we can ignore him for now."

Jiang Min nodded: "The most important thing is Zhang Guang and Wei Shouqiu. Their attitude directly determines the ownership of Lanzhou. Lanzhou is the key road connecting Fuzhou and Taiyuan Prefecture. After we control Lanzhou, we have obtained the key to solve the Fuzhou problem."

Wei Ren said: "The most powerful one is Luan Qingshan. He is close to Xinzhou and is blocking the key road."

Jiang Min shook her head: "The ancient book says that in every battle, we can win with a perfect match. Our army is the strange soldiers of Xuanfu, and should not be regarded as the regular soldiers. When it comes to war, we can't explain where our attack direction is now. Not only can I explain it clearly, but Xuanfu can't explain it clearly. Tuhe Village is close to Xinzhou, which is of no use to us. So what we need to do now is to solve the prefectures and states, and then to contact the three villages. We must ensure that they will not cause us trouble during war."

After saying that, Jiang Min felt unfulfilled and added: "The key is the prefecture!"

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "I don't know how to arrange troops, but before leaving, Xuanfu did talk about a lot of things about the prefectures."

Jiang Min said: "The Prefecture has a stronghold in Luoyang City to inquire about our news. But in the future, we should focus on the affairs of the Prefecture. Guardian, in a few days, you can go back to Luoyang and ask how the Xuanfu Department arranged it in the Prefecture. What matters belong to us in the future and what matters must be reported, and the Xuanfu Department must also explain them clearly."

Wei Ren said: "When will you leave?"

Jiang Min said: "It's soon. In a few days, Xuanfu's wedding will be celebrated on behalf of our teacher. Xuanfu gave a special order that all departments are not allowed to send gifts for this wedding. If you want to give, you can give some local specialties, which are not allowed to cost more than fifty cents. I asked, the specialties here in Shizhou are nothing more than pears, dates, and the wutong yam produced in the following place, which is particularly special. I've selected gifts in the past few days, and you should leave after you pick them."

"I forgot that Xuanfu is going to get married this month!" Zhang Jun patted his head. "I should go to the wedding before leaving!"

Jiang shook his head and said, "Xuanfu doesn't like it's too lively. Why are you doing in Luoyang? Moreover, Xuanfu has a clear distinction between public and private affairs. He doesn't want to do such a big deal, but it just can't hinder his subordinates from persuading him. Otherwise, a donkey cart will take the bride home and everything will be done."

Zhang Jun said: "This kind of thing is only once in a lifetime, how can you be hasty?"

Jiang Min sighed and said, "You don't understand Xuanfu. We are subordinates. If we have the opportunity in the future, we can have a private gathering. It's amazing. All things about weddings are extremely busy, so how can Xuanfu take care of it? Not to mention, Xuanfu hates being surrounded by people at this time."

Although Zhang Jun still didn't believe it when he heard Jiang Min say this. He married the Yu Nu sisters because they were not from a good background, so they did it quietly in private. Whenever they remembered it, they still felt regretful. If there was a chance, how could he not do it in big deals?
