A heavy rain poured down on the earth, washing away the blood on the ground.
Lu Po Lou was already strong and wearing armor. Li Yue connected the broken bones and nursed them carefully for a few days. Then he slowly woke up, looked at Li Yue, and then at Lu Guang beside him, and fell into a brief confusion. .
"Father!" Lu Guang was extremely happy.
Hearing his son's voice, Lu Polou's eyes became clearer and he sighed, "Why doesn't Mr. Liang kill me? I would rather die than surrender!"
The Lu family is all in Guanxi. If he surrenders, even if the whole family is spared the disaster, they will not be able to see anyone in Guanzhong from now on.
Lu Polou had followed Fu Hong for decades, and Li Yue did not expect him to surrender.
"You will be able to walk after a few more days of recuperation. Your Excellency, I miss Fu Shi. I will take you back to Guanzhong."
"You..." Lu Polou looked at Li Yue in surprise.
Li Yue said with a smile: "The two families had no hatred at first. If you hadn't plotted against Yuzhou first and then me, how would we be here today? After returning, I can advise the Lord of Qin that the two families are not life-and-death enemies, and there is no need for you to live and die."
Before Murong's family was dealt with, Li Yue would definitely not be able to get away to go to Guanzhong.
Similarly, Fu Jian has the Zhang family of Liangzhou to the west, Sima Xun of Hanzhong to the south, and the Huns are also expanding to the north.
If there are a few "pro-Liang faction" in Guanzhong, they can contain Fu Jian a little in the future, and Lu Guang is equivalent to the proton he left behind.
Lu Polou was silent for a while, then glanced at Lu Guang, "Thank you, Mr. Liang, for not killing me."
"General Lu needs to rest, so don't bother him too much. Keep your father and son close to each other." After Li Yue said the last sentence, he went out, letting the father and son have some private words, and at the same time, letting Lu Polou know the current situation.
After several days of heavy rain, the summer heat gradually faded away.
However, the enthusiasm of counties and counties in Yuzhou has not subsided, and they have submitted their registration forms and household registrations one after another.
In Runan, Qiaojun, Yiyang, Yang'an, Xiangcheng, and Liangguo, black clouds and red flags were hung on the city walls in a few days.
Zhang Yu has been running Yuzhou for more than 20 years, and the population has recovered slightly. There are 70,000 households registered in the household registration, but the real population definitely exceeds this number.
There are many mountains in the south of Yuzhou in western Henan, and there are countless refugee villages in the mountains.
Cui Hong cupped his hands and said: "In the world of Yuzhou, the heart of the Central Plains, Mr. Liang should run it with capable people. If this place is safe, the south will have no worries. You can rest assured to go north to compete with the Murong family in Hebei!"
Jiangdong was cut off half of his life by Yao Xiang, and the Northern Expedition that had been planned for several years was ruined. The loss was more than ten times greater than that of Chu Su.
Within three years, Jiangdong should not make another northern expedition.
All that's left is how to coax Huan Wen and let him target Guanzhong.
Among the civil and military personnel under his command, the only one who could take up this post was Chang Wei. He had been on several general missions and was familiar with the situation in Jiangnan.
"Chang Wei was made the governor of Yuzhou, Chen Duan was made the South Zhonglang General, Cui Jin was promoted to the leading general, Bo Wu was the governor of Qingzhou, Xu Cheng was the North Zhonglang General, Changshan was sent out of town, and Liang Xiaodong was the Zhonglang General." Li Yue made a quick decision. Adjustment.
The generals on the front, left, and right are virtual titles, while the generals of Zhonglang have actual duties with military power. They first appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when Lu Zhi used the general of Zhonglang in the north to attack the Yellow Turban Army.
Jie Zhao and Jiangdong both established East, West, South, and North Zhonglang generals to replace the former four-party governors to prevent excessive local military power from threatening the central government.
After staying in Linru for a few days, the weather gradually cleared up.
The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the joy of harvest is everywhere.
Chang Wei's inventory of the treasury in Xuchang, Yangzhai, and Xiangcheng was even more surprising.
One Xuchang treasury contained more than 2.7 million grains of grain, and the other treasuries of Yangzhai and Xiangcheng each had 4.5 million grains and grains. The money and silk were piled up like mountains, and there was no time to count them.
No wonder Zhang Yu has been refusing to move in Yuzhou. He has money and food in hand, and there is no existential crisis. Who would want to risk his life with his head in his crotch?
Li Yue knew Zhang Yu too well. He had no ambition to compete in the Central Plains, and just wanted to live behind closed doors in Yuzhou.
Whoever comes will surrender. Originally, he was devoted to Jiangdong, but the Jiangdong nobles did not even open their eyes to him, which led to the tragedy of the failure of the Jiangdong Northern Expedition...
Li Yue immediately took out half of the money in Xuchang's treasury and rewarded the troops. Even the civilians who were transporting the baggage in the rear were given one stone of grain.
Everyone is happy.
For less than 300,000 shi of food, the soldiers and people were satisfied. Li Yue thought it was a good deal.
After all, this food was obtained out of thin air and was given generously.
Only when the officials eat meat and the soldiers and the people drink soup can we develop sustainably and create a virtuous circle. Next time, others will be willing to raise their swords to help fight.
The military system of the Wei and Jin Dynasties continued, but it had a huge drawback.
Frequent wars gave birth to military families, and their descendants served in the army for generations. Their social status was low, and ordinary people were unwilling to marry them. They went into battle at fifteen and were still in the army at sixty.
If he dies in battle, his wife and daughter will end up even more miserable, and they will be designated by the government as wives of other military households...
Zhao Zhi, a famous scholar in the Western Jin Dynasty, was ashamed of being a scholar, so he worked hard and inspired the eunuchs to become famous.
The elite were ashamed to join the army, so it is not surprising that the Western Jin Dynasty was beaten by foreigners.
During the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, the aristocratic elites were proud to fight in battle, and good families joined the army to serve the country. This made the Qin and Han Dynasties powerful. Huo Qubing's 800 cavalry dared to attack the Xiongnu's lair, and Li Ling's 5,000 infantrymen fought with 80,000 Xiongnu on the grassland. The cavalry fought bloody battles.
Today, it is absolutely unbelievable.
If you want to improve your combat effectiveness, it is useless to just pump chicken blood. In addition to providing actual benefits to the soldiers, you must also improve their social status.
"Po Lou will remember Liang Gong's kindness in not killing him." Lu Po Lou has recovered to the point of being able to ride a war horse.
Lu Guang has been taking care of him these days, and he knows everything he needs to know, so he doesn't have much objection to Lu Guang staying.
Lu Po Lou also had more than one son. It is said that he had more than ten sons and nephews. People of this age are generally able to have children.
Li Yue smiled and said: "General Lu, please take care. I hope you and I won't have to fight each other in the future."
Lu Polou was stunned for a moment, with a slightly complicated look on his face. After bowing his hands and saluting, he got on his horse and headed west without looking back.
Lu Guang was left staring at his back in a daze.
After annexing Yuzhou and occupying the entire Central Plains, Li Yue became more and more confident. Now he was just short of time.
When he led his army back to Yecheng, Chang Wei went out of the city to see him off.
"Gong Liang can rest assured about the matter in the south. Now that the Central Plains is completely occupied, it has become the power of Wei Wu. The country cannot be left without a master for a day. Now that Duke Liang returns to Ye, he can ascend to the throne to encourage the three armies and improve the people." Hope."
Chang Wei actually persuaded him to come in.
After thinking for a while, Li Yue nodded. Guangji Liang slowly became king and could not adapt to the current situation.
Occupying the entire Central Plains, as long as others are not stupid, they will try every means to restrict and suppress them.
In terms of the situation, Yan State and Jiangdong are allies, one in the south and the other in the north. Now they have turned against Di Qin. There is no point in hiding one's strength and biding time.
An elephant cannot hide behind a tree and expect others not to see it.
Nowadays, everyone around me who has some strength and ambition is proclaimed king and emperor.
On the other hand, my relationship with Ran Wei can no longer be so unclear.
Otherwise, would the Jisu forces around Yecheng be loyal to Ran Wei or themselves?
"Yes!" Li Yue nodded slowly.
