Chapter 545 The Kingdom of Xiumi

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

A ranger walked up to Liu Bingji holding a jar.

Liu Bing came back to his senses at this time, "It's nothing, I just suddenly figured out something!"

The knight stopped asking after hearing this, and immediately shouted to get some wine and meat quickly.

Liu Bing had heard the words but looked embarrassed. Life at home was difficult these days. There was not much corn left, so there was no food and wine.

Xu Guanghan said at this time: "There is still some wine and meat in someone's house... Just wait a moment, I will come back as soon as I go!"

Her mother-in-law, who had always disliked Liu Bing, heard this and said, "You drink first, and the old woman will go get the wine and meat!"

She was talking with a smile on her face.

She was thinking at this moment that the fortune teller really had a good eye.

It turned out that someone told her two years ago that Mr. Xu Ping was a noble person.

She had always disliked Liu Bing, and in fact she was somewhat affected by this statement, thinking that Liu Bing had delayed her daughter.

Now that he saw that Liu Bing was likely to be poisoned by feudalism, his attitude suddenly changed.

She left the hospital where Liu Bing's family lived, and all the neighbors she met along the way congratulated her.

She was happy in her heart, but she kept saying: "I haven't even written my horoscope yet..."

She said this, but in her heart she also agreed with what her neighbors said.

When she arrived at the door of her house, she thought unwillingly: "I don't know how far away Shendu is. It would be great if it were feudal in Guandong..."

Walking into the house, she first took a bowl and was about to leave.

She thought for a while and simply took out all the meat from the house.

…

Looking at her husband who was drinking heavily with everyone and eating meat.

There was not much joy on Xu Pingjun's face, but a look of worry inadvertently.

But seeing that everyone was in high spirits, she didn't say much.

It wasn't until everyone left after they had finished drinking and eating that Xu Pingjun said worriedly: "Alang, that poison is thousands of miles away..."

Halfway through, she sighed and did not continue.

Liu Bing already understood what she meant and comforted him: "No need to worry, Xiaojun. Although the poison is far away, it is a rich place..."

Liu Bing already knew what Xu Pingjun was worried about. While taking out the map Zhang Yue gave him, he explained the situation of body poisoning to Xu Pingjun.

Xu Pingjun was half convinced and said: "So, that body poison is indeed a good place!"

Liu Bing immediately confirmed: "Don't worry, Xiaojun, the poisonous place is no worse than Guandong!"

Xu Pingjun nodded, and then she thought of something else. "Alang, will the emperor..."

Xu Pingjun looked out the door nervously mid-sentence.

Liu Bing hugged Xu Pingjun and said, "Don't worry, little Jundan... The general treats Huo Guang kindly... How can he attack you and me..."

…

Although he had good luck, it still took Huo Guang nearly three months to arrive at Ershi City.

In Ershi City, Guo Kai and Ma Han warmly received Huo Guang.

Huo Guang did not stay in Ershi City for long. On the third day, he said goodbye to Guo and Ma and went to the fiefdom to rest secretly.

When Huo Guang left, Guo Kai also temporarily lent Huo Guang a song called Dawan Yicong.

Xiumi was originally one of the five tribes of Yuezhi. It not only had a large area but also had a large population.

Although feudalism only gave Huo Guang half of the area in the southwest of Xiumi and adjacent to Kushan.

But the area and population are also larger than Huo Guang expected.

Huo Guang had just entered Hemo City, and there were already officials from Hezhong Town waiting for him.

"Your Majesty, this is the map of the Xiumi Kingdom. Please take a look at the information!"

Huo Guang was not polite. He took the map information and said, "I dare to ask Ming Gong if there is anything Guang needs to pay attention to!"

Huo Guang placed his position very low at this time.

The official in charge of the handover said: "There is nothing else, except that you should strengthen your military equipment..."

"This Xiumi was originally one of the five tribes of the Yue clan... but the King of Guishuang has always been eyeing Xiumi with covetous eyes..."

The official had been greeted by Guo Kai a long time ago and understood the important role of the Xiumi Kingdom in the future, so he introduced him very carefully.

He continued to explain the situation between Xiu Mi and Kuishang in detail, and also gave Huo Guang a lot of useful advice.

After Huo Guang heard this, he even wanted to keep this person as his chancellor.

"Your Majesty being feudal here... is both a good thing and a bad thing..."

While Huo Guang listened to what he said, he was also thinking about how to develop his own kingdom.

…

After Liu Yi put down the rebellion, he not only sent a letter to Chang'an, but also systematically purged the powerful forces in Huainan and Jiangdong according to the prior plan.

After the devastation of the war, the strength of the powerful powers in the Huainan area had been weakened to the extreme. In the face of Liu Yi's purge, they could only bow their heads and dare not resist anymore.

But the Jiangdong area is different. At this time, except for Kuaiji and Danyang areas, other places in the Jiangdong area can be said to be completely foreign lands.

Most of the local powerful people are inextricably linked to the local Shanyue people.

The reason why these powerful people can become big actually has an important relationship with Shanyue.

The more benign ones among the powerful have become prosperous mainly through smuggling trade with Shanyue.

The ruthless people simply colluded directly with Shanyue and made a fortune by robbing the Han people who had organized their households into households.

After Liu Yi conducted an investigation into the powerful people in the Guandong region, he used the method of pulling one faction to fight against another to divide and disintegrate the powerful people.

With the help of carrots and sticks, Liu Yi had established a firm foothold in Jiangdong in just over a month.

In order to cooperate with Liu Yi's actions in Jiangdong, Zhang Yue sent nearly a hundred scholars to Liu Yi from various academies in the Western Regions and Du Ling's library.

Especially the group of scholars from the Western Regions made Liu Yi even more overjoyed.

Although the scholars from various academies in the Western Regions were somewhat inferior to the scholars from Chang'an in terms of knowledge, they were much better in other aspects.

Starting from the second year of school, these scholars will be sent to various fortresses in the Western Regions for internship. They will also learn how to handle government affairs.

It is precisely because of this that these scholars in the Western Regions are not only proficient in horseback riding and slashing, but are also knowledgeable about local government affairs.

After these scholars arrived, Liu Yi immediately arranged for them to be sent to various counties in Jiangdong to replace the original officials.

With a stable rear, Liu Yi turned his attention to the Shanyue tribe that had troubled Jiangdong for hundreds of years.

The Jiangdong area was apparently included in the Xia Dynasty at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period.

But in fact, a large number of places, especially mountainous areas, have actually been outside the control of the government.

This time Liu Yi, who had soldiers and food, was determined to change the status quo.

In November of the first year of Yuanping, Liu Yi mobilized 100,000 troops to enter Jiangdong.

Most of these soldiers were former rebel soldiers who surrendered, and a small number were elite Northern Army soldiers brought by Liu Yi from Chang'an.

Liu Yi's goal this time was to completely clean up Shanyue in the four counties of Yuzhang, Danyang, Kuaiji, and Lujiang.

…

Zhao Chongguo has always been a resolute and resolute character, and his efficiency was not slow at all after he decided to send troops.

In just three days, Zhao Chongguo gathered 30,000 cavalry.

On the fourth day, he led his troops out of the fortress and entered the grassland.

Xulu Quanqu Chanyu had been paying attention to the movements of Shuofang's army, and he had already made plans for Shuofang's army to join the war.

Shuofang's army had just left the fortress, and Xulu Quanqu Chanyu had already received the information.

Soon Xulu Quanqu Chanyu issued orders to the kings according to the plan.

The Xiongnu tribes quickly took action. In just half a month, the Xiaowangs gathered another 50,000 tribal cavalry.

Although these tribal cavalry are not as good as Shan Yuting's new army, they still have some combat effectiveness.

After the kings gathered their troops, they went to intercept Shuofang's army under the command of King Rizhuo.
