Youzhou, Ji County.
This is the current seat of Youzhou and the place where Zhao Yong, the former King of Yan, lived.
After Zhao Yong was killed, Wei Polu followed Zhao Shan's order and went north to Youzhou to take charge of the military and political affairs of Youzhou.
Wei Polu is an old general, rich in experience and sophisticated in dealing with things. After arriving in Jixian, he did not immediately expand, nor did he care about the situation in other counties. He just focused on reorganizing the army and stabilizing the situation in Jixian.
After Wei Polu completely controlled Jixian and took control of all personnel and finances in Jixian, he began to slowly expand and spread to the surrounding areas bit by bit.
Even so, Wei Polu's expansion speed was very slow at first. Later, when its strength increased, Wei Polu's sweep of various places became faster.
Within a year, Wei Polu took control of Youzhou.
Now Wei Polu has 20,000 elite infantry and 3,000 armored cavalry in Youzhou, which has considerable combat effectiveness.
This is still the result of Wei Polu's unwillingness to expand his army.
If Wei Polu wants to expand his army, he can deploy 30,000 to 50,000 troops. However, there were too many standing troops to maintain, and the consumption of food and money was also greater. Wei Polu could only temporarily maintain an army of more than 20,000 people.
In the general manager's house.
Wei Polu was wearing ordinary coarse linen clothes, with gray hair and a long beard that reached his chest. He looked energetic.
He has lived for most of his life and is already about to die. Wei Polu did not catch up with the prosperous period of the Qian Dynasty, and almost all the people he met in his life were stupid kings. As soon as he won the battle, he was transferred back to the court, or was impeached and dismissed from office, or he could not stand the dirty officialdom and resigned angrily.
Wei Polu never worked quietly and down-to-earth in the court.
After meeting Zhao Shanhou, Wei Polu could work with peace of mind.
There will be no suspicion.
There will be no constraints.
Zhao Shan trusted him in all aspects and reused him without any suspicion. He even delegated the power of appointment and dismissal of Youzhou officials.
This made Wei Polu extremely relieved.
Wei Polu cherished meeting such a wise king. However, Wei Polu also knew Zhao Shan's nature. His Majesty was good at everything, with outstanding literary talent and unparalleled martial arts. He could be called a literary and military commander.
He is very philanthropic when it comes to women.
Bai Youyou of the Xuannv Sect is his Majesty's woman, which Wei Polu has known for a long time.
Because of Bai Youyou's special status, Wei Polu took great care of the Xuannv Sect. He had already arranged for people to lurk in the Xuannv Sect to provide support and assist Bai Youyou in his work.
With Wei Polu's arrangement, Bai Youyou could control the Xuannv Sect and become the current leader of the Xuannv Sect. In addition, the Loyalty League can be formed and expanded.
Wei Polu's support is the fundamental reason why the Loyalty League has huge influence.
However, Wei Polu didn't expect that in a very ordinary fight, Bai Youyou took the lead and was hit by a sword, and the sword was poisoned. Especially after being hit by the sword, Bai Youyou's condition deteriorated rapidly, and she suffered from coma and coughing.
Wei Polu arranged for famous doctors to be invited. After diagnosing Bai Youyou one by one, they all said that the disease was too deep to be cured.
Wei Polu was also quite anxious about this.
Your Majesty has always been philanthropic, but it would be bad if his mood and personality changed drastically because of the death of a woman.
This has happened before.
Among the emperors of Daqian, there was once an emperor who was so infatuated that he was so sad about the death of his concubine that he became a monk.
Da Gan was torn apart, and finally a holy king was ushered in. Wei Polu did not want any setbacks, and only hoped that Zhao Shanan would be stable and revitalize Da Gan step by step.
Wei Polu was worried about Bai Youyou's safety, so he left the General Manager's Mansion and headed towards the Xuannv Sect.
Wei Polu entered the Xuannv Sect and went straight to the backyard where Bai Youyou was resting, and saw Bai Youyou resting on the couch.
Today, Bai Youyou is pale, her eyes are dull, her originally delicate face has become swollen, and her condition is already very serious.
Wei Polu was even more worried and asked, "How is Miss Bai feeling?"
After Bai Youyou returned to Youzhou and took over the Xuannv Sect, she kept in contact with Wei Polu and treated Wei Polu as an elder.
She forced a smile on her face, lying on her back with her tired body, and said reluctantly: "Chief Health Officer, my body is extremely tired, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to survive."
Wei Polu sighed in his heart and encouraged: "Miss Bai, don't give up. If you let go of your own breath, even the Great Luo Immortal will not be able to save you."
"If you persist and have the desire to live, you will definitely defeat the disease."
"Miss Bai is busy at Xuannv Sect. Don't you want to see His Majesty? Don't you want to return to His Majesty?"
"So please cheer up."
Wei Polu looked serious and said solemnly: "You can never give up on anything at any time until the end. This is the experience I have lived for most of my life. I hope Miss Bai will be the same."
Just as Bai Youyou was about to speak, she suddenly started coughing again.
The coughing affected his lungs, and his body trembled slightly. The coughing was so violent that his body curled up. Her face was red, her eyes were a little protruding, and she looked very scary.
Bai Youyou covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed for a while before ending.
There was another touch of bright red on the handkerchief.
Bai Youyou closed the handkerchief and sighed: "Chief Guard, my health is getting worse and worse, and I can't last much longer. Once something happens to me, the Loyalty League will be in your charge. We can't let the Loyalty League be taken over by others." People take control.”
Wei Polu nodded and said, "Since I'm here, the Loyalty Alliance will not be affected. Again, Miss Bai, take care of yourself."
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came.
The soldiers came to Wei Polu's side and whispered something.
Wei Polu was in high spirits, looked at Bai Youyou who was lying on his back, and said quickly: "Miss Bai, Your Majesty has arrived at Xuannv Sect. I will go to greet Your Majesty first, and Miss Bai is also ready to greet you."
The moment Bai Youyou heard this, a look of ecstasy appeared on her pale face, and bright colors burst out of her eyes.
Her husband actually came.
The next moment, a look of despair appeared on Bai Youyou's face again, and she quickly said: "Chief Guard, I am already so haggard and ill, how can I have the honor to meet His Majesty?"
"Please go and tell your Majesty, Mr. Wei, that your Majesty please return to Luoyang. I won't see your Majesty."
"I don't want to see your Majesty."
Bai Youyou's expression was very complicated. She wanted to see Zhao Shan very much and was eager to see him. But when I think about how haggard I am, in sharp contrast to the bright and beautiful person in the past, I feel a deep sense of loss in my heart.
She didn't want Zhao Shan to see her looking so haggard.
"Silly girl, you dare not see me. Are you too brave or have your wings stiffened?"
A loud voice came from outside the room.
Zhao Shan strode in, looked at Bai Youyou who was lying on the bed and his face had quickly turned pale, and said in a deep voice: "If Elder Wei hadn't informed me, were you going to hide it from me for the rest of your life and make me feel guilty and regret it for the rest of my life?"
