In the county government office of Yanmen County.
Xu Guichang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard his yamen reported that Beidi, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Yunzhong and Wuyuan counties had been pacified.
The Yanmen County Magistrate was pacing back and forth in the court hall, muttering to himself as he walked.
"Now the Northland is finally at peace, and the people of Li can live and work in peace and contentment."
But just as Xu Guichang said these words here, there was another hurried footsteps in the distance.
Xu Guichang hurriedly turned to look at the place where the sound came from. It was his daughter-in-law Wang Xiaofei, whose belly was bulging again, who came quickly with a letter.
"Husband!"
Seeing Wang Xiaofei's bulging belly this time, Xu Guichang cautiously stepped forward to help her.
"Madam, why are you starting to move again? You should pay more attention to your health."
After Xu Guichang said this, Wang Xiaofei looked at him and said with a smile, "What are you worried about? I have already given birth to three children. Could this fourth one cause me any trouble?"
The speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. Xu Guichang couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he heard this.
"The fourth child is my own. How come I am such a tragedy?"
But just when Xu Guichang was muttering that he was a bit tragic, Wang Xiaofei handed him the letter in his hand.
"Look, there's a letter from my brother."
"What? Is there a letter from my uncle?"
Xu Guichang hurriedly looked at the letter in Wang Xiaofei's hand, and Wang Xiaofei said happily after handing the letter to Xu Guichang.
"My brother is now the acting governor of Luoyang. As long as he does well, he can be promoted to a regular position. Look, you are still a county magistrate now. And when you write to ask my brother whether the things you did are right or wrong, My brother has analyzed for you the big mistake you made. If the superiors investigate, it will be difficult to explain this matter."
Xu Guichang was very happy at first, but when he heard his wife say this, his face instantly turned bitter.
"Why am I such a tragedy? I finally do something useful and still get criticized by others."
Xu Guichang couldn't help but complain, and Wang Xiaofei looked at him, "Which of these things you did is useful? Aren't they all here to prevent the superiors from blaming you? Do you think you can take on these things and the actual situation?" Condition?"
Wang Xiaofei's words were like a critical blow, which made Xu Guichang completely honest. He didn't dare to say or do anything here, and he was dumbfounded.
In Dingxiang City, after being attacked by the Tang Army for the second time. When it was time to count the population again, and then divide the houses, fields, cattle, sheep and horses again, Xu Yunyan looked at the group of trembling and frightened Turks standing in front of him, and couldn't help but say.
"What are you worried about? Is our Tang army a scourge? Although what you did this time made us angry, but we said we would divide the fields for you, cattle, sheep and horses, and we will divide the fields for you, cattle, sheep and horses."
What Xu Yunyan said made the group of Turks in front of them even more frightened.
"General, spare your life. It's not because we once again doubted whether what the general said was true or false, but because we never thought that we would receive such a rich gift. Thinking about what we have done, we are sincere and frightened. We only hope that the general can forgive us." Let us be worthy of the general's gift."
After these Turks said such words, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but feel happy.
"I didn't expect you to be so sensible in repaying kindness. For your character of being so grateful, I personally made the decision and gave you another sheep for each of you." The light words made the people next to me so happy. Li Yunlong was trembling here.
"General, aren't all the sheep we captured going to be given to our brothers to feed? You just said this and you gave us thousands of sheep?"
When Li Yunlong looked at Xu Yunyan with a bit of resentment, Xu Yunyan laughed.
"You, you, why are you so confused? If we can use these sheep to pull them firmly to our side, wouldn't it be a good thing? From now on, there will be no difference between the Turks and us Han people, we will all be as close as one family. Brother, the North will not be at war together. Do you think it is more useful to eat this sheep to wrap your belly, or to make such a heart-to-heart string?"
Xu Yunyan was arguing with Li Yunlong here, while Li Yunlong was scratching his head here.
"General, I understand what you are saying, but is this too cunning?"
Li Yunlong suddenly used cunning to describe Xu Yunyan, which made Xu Yunyan almost go berserk, but looking at him like this, he still said it here.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I don't know if the young men escorted by Li Chun have been sent to Chang'an City? I don't know how His Majesty will handle this matter."
When Xu Yunyan said this, the two lieutenants, Li Kun and Duan Kun, came to Xu Yunyan again and cupped their fists.
"General, according to the general's arrangement, we have been posting notices in Chinese and Turkic languages everywhere, so that even those who don't know the reason can know what is going on after seeing this notice. Save They are misunderstanding me."
After Li Kun and Duan Kun came to report what they had done, Xu Yunyan looked at him very satisfied.
"Two generals, thank you for your hard work, but there is one more thing you need to do next."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Duan Kun and Li Kun looked at Xu Yunyan in confusion, wondering what else Xu Yunyan had going on.
Xu Yunyan said immediately as he watched them waiting for his arrangements.
"When things here are settled and you lead the army back, I will write to the court to plead guilty. It is hard to say whether I can work with you again in the Anbei Protectorate."
Xu Yunyan said this, but it frightened Li Yunlong, Li Kun and Duan Kun in front of him.
"General, what's wrong with you? Why are you writing to plead guilty? You are a meritorious minister, why are you petitioning for punishment?"
Li Yunlong, a general in the clan, said such words here. Although Xu Yunyan didn't know what his status was in the clan, after Li Yunlong spoke, Xu Yunyan looked at him and shook his head with a smile.
"It's not as simple as you think. If I hadn't always had illusions about the Turks and thought we could live harmoniously together, how could something like this happen? So I have to write a letter to apologize."
When Xu Yunyan said this, what else did Li Kun and Duan Kun have to say? This time, Li Yunlong, who was a bit like a stick, waved his hand to stop the two of them.
"Let the general go. If the general wants to write a letter, shouldn't we also write to His Majesty? If we explain everything clearly, His Majesty must be able to think clearly about various reasons, right?"
When Li Yunlong said this, Li Kun and Duan Kun couldn't help but clapped their hands.
"Yes, the Protector-General can write to His Majesty to plead guilty. Why can't we write to His Majesty to state various reasons for the Protector-General? At the same time, this is really a great achievement. How can we say that we are guilty?"
Just when a few people were sighing and sighing that this apology was a bit unnecessary, Xu Yunyan looked at them.
"Don't be ridiculous."
Li Yunlong winked at the two of them and spoke hurriedly in unison.
"Yes, yes, the general's lesson is, how dare we act nonsense? What you say, general, is what it is. We know we were wrong."
However, after Li Yunlong and Li Kun and Duan Kun left, they gathered together and muttered.
"Although the general doesn't let us submit a letter, should we just do this? The general has never let us down."
A small incident in the four counties of Beidi, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Yanmen gradually calmed down. The residents in the county returned to their homes to resume production. After they resumed production, although there were still some Turks gathering next to their villages, they did not become harmonious with each other for the first time. It is targeted everywhere.
Some Turks herd cattle and sheep. From time to time, these cattle and sheep would escape their control and run aside to harm the crops that were difficult to grow among the villagers. And these villagers also glared at the Turks after these cattle and sheep came to harm their crops, and drove these cattle, sheep and horses here.
However, the Han people and the Turks still had restraint. No matter who was right or wrong, they were doing their own things here. No matter how unwilling they were, they did not act rashly and cause unnecessary trouble.
While these little things kept appearing everywhere, a young man in ordinary clothes was wandering on the grassland riding a fiery red BMW. Although there were several people beside him who were also dressed in ordinary people's clothes, it seemed that With their big bodies and round waists, no one would regard them as ordinary people, not to mention that they all ride war horses with weapons hung on their sides.
This was Xu Yunyan who had finished dealing with the matter in Dingxiang City, and after writing a letter to plead guilty, he wandered around the Northland to see what the situation in the Northland was like now.
Now Xu Yunyan has just received the news that Li Jing has led his troops to the north and set up camp on a gentle boundary to scare Xiao Xiao.
He was going to visit his master, and more importantly, the general in charge of his Anbei Protectorate in the North, and take a look at the scenery he had seen many times along the way.
At dusk, which can be considered the height of summer, Xu Yunyan and the others came to a village and planned to enter the village to spend the night before setting off again tomorrow.
In this village, many people who have finished their work for the day are enjoying the cool in some shady places, gossiping about the food in the farmland, talking about the village flowers in the next village, or complaining about the empty cows in the distance. Sheep and horses are not productive, and may be eaten by the Turks.
But just when they were chatting happily here, no matter what they were talking about, they were always so simple and easy to understand, Xu Yunyan and the others who entered the village on horseback soon aroused got their attention.
A young man, but one who could tell at a glance that he was quite shrewd, hurriedly greeted him.
"I don't know what the hell are you doing here?"
After a small turmoil in the North, they knew that although some outsiders looked exactly like them, they had dark hearts and acted in a very unorthodox way, which would only add to their troubles and would not solve them.
When they asked Xu Yunyan cautiously, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but give him a fist.
"So that this little brother knows that I am going to General Li's camp to report on my duties. I am passing by Guibao, and I hope to stay overnight."
Xu Yunyan directly revealed his identity. Although he did not say it clearly, he went to the general to report his duties. Who is this person if he is not an official? Could it be that a big-headed soldier would go to the general?
When they were in the most dangerous time in the North, it was the Tang army who rescued them. Although these people were suspicious of Xu Yunyan and doubted his identity, they still carefully led Xu Yunyan to the center of the village to find the old man in the village to arrange them. .
