After Zhao Xun returned to Youzhou City, he rested for three days before he officially began to investigate the official reports of the officials. When he came back to meet the officials on the first day, it was just to confirm whether there was an urgent matter that needed to be dealt with.

Although Zhao Xun has been staying in Donglai Prefecture for more than three months, Zhao Xun naturally knew the major events of the Xiaoguo Army clearly, but it was not so detailed.

The three parts of the Xiaoguo Army were established, the Government Affairs Department, the Supervision Department and the Military Affairs Department, checking and balancing each other and supervising each other. Therefore, the summary of major events was reported by officials in charge of the three departments.

The Government Affairs Department took the lead in reporting its situation. No special events have happened in the past few months, but Zhao Xun's Khitan governance plan is underway. He was originally going to ask for titles for officials, especially those In the Khitan, those who made great contributions in the territory of the Marines asked for titles, but the court did not approve them. The benefits fell in Zhao Xun's hands, and it would be strange if he gave instructions.

In this regard, the Xiaoguo Army was only a little dissatisfied with the court, so they did not take it seriously. However, Zhao Xun still assigned slaves to the five prefectures of Beiding according to the size of the meritorious people. These slaves were all Captives and their families. They are naturally managed by the families of officials at all levels and their relatives, and are also under the supervision of the Supervision Department.

According to the report of the Government Affairs Department, rewards will only be given after the achievements have reached a certain level. From the lowest slave, one slave is said to be a thousand households. Of course, no one has received rewards from a thousand households.

"Because of the heavy snow before the New Year, the five cities of the five prefectures in Beiding have not been completed. But because we promptly rescued the ordinary Khitans, these people have slowly accepted us. The four Khitan tribes have accepted what we said, in each tribe Academies are opened to teach Chinese culture. Newborn children will wear Hanfu and speak Chinese. As for the captive soldiers of the four northern tribes, they are all building cities, and ordinary herdsmen have also begun to accept the rule of the Xiaoguo Army." Pei Yi said with a smile. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the Khitan area of ​​thousands of miles north and south and six hundred miles east and west.

"It is precisely because of the food and carbohydrate we supported in advance that these Khitan herders can survive. Although they do not educate, the most basic right and wrong are still clear. The livestock and lives of these herders can be preserved. Therefore, If something unexpected happens, it is still feasible to slowly define this place as a Han area.”

"If it weren't for the fact that it was too troublesome to cast the grasslands and there was no land that the Han people could survive, it would be possible to include the boundless grasslands in the north under the rule of the Han people." Lu Ziliang said with a longing look on his face.

Yang Wangzhen shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "This is too difficult. The grassland nomadic people and the Central Plains Han dynasties have increased and decreased, and they have changed back and forth. It is difficult to completely control each other! However, compared with the grassland nomadic people, we Han people are still There are great advantages. At least, the Han people have never been exterminated after the change of dynasties. But on the grassland, for hundreds of years, I don’t know how many races of all sizes have died in the long river of history.”

Pei Yi then reported: "The horse farms we have opened in Youzhou are established one by one, including the three east prefectures, and there are more than 200,000 horses in the entire Youzhou area. In addition, we have opened the five north prefectures. The commercial channel of Heshunzhou Prefecture can buy and sell other materials except war horses."

"In addition, many Han people also entered the north to live in the five prefectures of Beiding. They will combine with the Khitans and live in the north. With the establishment of the fort and small town in the future, the five prefectures of Beiding were completely stabilized.

”

Zhao Xun naturally kept paying attention to the situation in the north. When he heard Pei Yi say this, Zhao Xun was relieved. As long as there is no accident and continues to operate slowly, the five prefectures in Beiding will be under the Xiaoguo Army.

a state of land.

"How are the Turks, Shi Wei, and Hei Shui Mo? " Since I asked about the Five Northern Dynasties, I naturally cannot ignore the powerful forces around me.

Military Affairs Commissioner Li Huaiyuan said in a deep voice: "According to the Shadow Department's investigation, because of our great victory in the Khitan, the Turks and the Wei people dare not act rashly. I think they are also afraid of the thunder we released that night. Therefore,

They will not act rashly until they find the exact means of coping."

"At the same time, the Turks, Shiwei and Hei Shui Mori tribes all suffered heavy snow disasters and suffered heavy losses. For us, they would not cause us any major harm."

After hearing this, Zhao Xun frowned secretly, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "In this way, may the Turks attack Bingzhou?"

Li Huaiyuan nodded and said, "According to past experience, if these northern nomadic races suffer disasters, they will rob them like in Yan State. This is a common thing, and it can be said to be a routine.

The court was weak and had to let it go."

Speaking of which, the reason why Yan State declined so strongly was not because the death of Prince Yingwu twenty-seven years ago was unclear. The army of 300,000 was also destroyed. Later, it led to the Turks, Shi Wei, and Mo.

The people, the Uighur tribes and other tribes rose one after another, which made Yan State unable to turn over. In the war that year, Yan State's national strength was greatly damaged. Coupled with the severe droughts of several years, it first led to the rebellion of Xuzhou, and later Liangzhou rebelled.

Although Li Huaiyuan said that there was nothing wrong in Youzhou, it did not mean that there was nothing wrong in Bingzhou. In short, they were all people of a country. Now they were facing foreign enemies, and these people could not pretend to be nothing.

But what can I do? It's beyond my reach! I'm powerless. Besides, even if the entire Xiaoguo army is pressing over, it can't beat the Turkic army. The Turkic people can mobilize an army of 400,000 or 500,000 people at any time. Zhao Xun is really afraid of this.

It has a strong army and is a cavalry rushing forward. Its own thunder is not very effective for such a fast field army.

Of course, if it is a battle to defend the city, Zhao Xun can also give the other party great damage, but what if the Turks pass by and go straight back? If they can't fight, they can't defend. Of course, it's true.

To fight with the Turks, that is another matter. The main thing is that if you no longer Bingzhou, if you want to support it, you also need the cooperation of Bingzhou and sweep west from the five prefectures of Beiding. But Zhao Xunhe

It is very difficult to cooperate with Cao Gang. More importantly, Cao Gang seems to have escaped from Situ Lei's control and is self-respecting. Moreover, it means cooperating with the Turks.

"The Wei tribe and the Hei Shui Mohe tribe were both affected by disasters. They had no place to rob. Could it be that they would not attack the Five Palaces of Beiding?" Zhao Xun said, interrupting the dull atmosphere.

Li Huaiyuan smiled and said, "If my Xiaoguo Army had not entered the Five Prefectures of Beiding, given the current situation, Shi Wei and the Turks would have pounced in long ago. They were just afraid of the power of my thunder and the courage of the Xiaoguo Army.

They had just closed their claws. Of course, they would also test us and see our reactions. According to news from the north, several small tribes and more than a hundred herdersmen were robbed by the Wei people."

Zhao Xun heard this and immediately said coldly: "For their temptation, no matter what, we must give the toughest counterattack, otherwise there will be great troubles. Now is the time to restore the five prefectures of Beiding, so we must not be because of Shi Wei.

The people were destroyed. Which army is now stationed in the Five Prefectures of Beiding?"

"The Third Palace, the soldiers of the Sandu of the Marine Cavalry and the soldiers of the Marine Eight Banners."

"Immediately send an order to let the cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Marines go north immediately, and when they encounter Shiwei people crossing the boundary again, they will kill one by one, and all the property seized will be borne by them. If the Shiwei people's army crosses the boundary, they will immediately report to other troops and the whole army will meet them.

I want to see if the Wei people in this room are determined to meet us before they can retreat." Zhao Xun said with murderous aura.

For the five prefectures of Beiding, we must never retreat now. If the Shiwei people feel that the Xiaoguo army is not as strong as it is, it will disrupt their normal development. Therefore, it would rather fight with the Shiwei people than to not

Let them have any distractions about the five prefectures of Beiding. Even if they have, they must be cut off.

Suddenly, Zhao Xunyou said: "You guys, can you let Shiwei people and Hei Shui Maru get on one? Let them get against each other. In this way, aren't our many goals achieved?" He was originally prepared to curb or even attack Hei

The plans of the Shuimoshi Ministry were all given up because they wanted to maintain the stability of the five prefectures of Beiding. Now that the two divisions are fighting, it will be greatly beneficial to the Xiaoguo Army.

The Shiwei tribe and the Hei Shui Mori tribe are both two major tribes in the old north. If you want to say that their strength is not strong, but you should not underestimate it. Life is simple and extremely tough. The Shiwei people are in the Five Prefectures of Beiding, that is,

It is directly north of the Khitan territory, while the Black Shui Mori is located directly east of the Shiwei people, and the two tribes are close together. On weekdays, there are quite a lot of conflicts.

"It is very difficult to get them to start a war head-on. Because both of them know that the other party is a disaster-stricken part, and even if they go to plunder, there is nothing to gain. Of course, if they have no object to plunder, they will be between them,

It is also very likely." Situ Liang said slowly.

"However, I expected that the people of Wei will not carry out the full development with us easily, so in their helplessness, they either think of ways, buy, or exchange them. Or they will rob the Black Water Marine or the Black Water Marine

The Liaodong Kingdom in the south. Compared with the Heishui Mohe, the Liaodong Kingdom is much richer, especially after our merchants entered and left, they became richer. I wondered if we could contact the Wei people in the room and let them attack the Liaodong Kingdom?

We can even make a passage in the northeast corner. Anyway, we have just recovered it, and it is normal for some places to be inadequately controlled." Situ Liang said with a smile.

Zhao Xun whispered: "It's feasible, but you must first defeat this savage guy. Otherwise, they won't be honest in cooperation with us. Let the Shenji Camp in the third palace follow the eight banners of the Marine

The four flags acted together to wake up the Shiwei people. There are many things like us. Of course, it is best to use them at night to bring some mythical color to these barbarians."

Li Huaiyuan also nodded and said, "I think it's okay. After intimidating the Wei people in Shi, we can cooperate with him and let him fight with Liaodong. This will also prevent Liaodong from mixing with the Hei Shui Mo. We can also

The two sides resell the replaced equipment, and according to the actual situation, they will provide support from non-military forces directly to send troops to varying degrees. We can even use the dozens of miles of the northeast corner as their passages for them to cut off each other."

"Well, for the affairs of the Five Northern Dynasties, let the Third Dynasty send people and the Eight Banners troops to dispatch them to let the Eagle Eyes keep an eye on the situation of the Shiwei people at any time."

"What's the situation with the three eastern prefectures, Liaodong Kingdom, Sumo Marine tribes and Beihai tribes?"

Government Affairs Commissioner Pei Yi said: "The Three East Prefectures have recovered. After more than a year and a half, the Three East Prefectures are now the prefectures in Youzhou. We have already gained an absolute advantage in terms of population. The fields are also completely

Arranged properly. The fields of the military camps have also gained a lot. However, in order not to affect the combat effectiveness of the army, we discussed with the Military Affairs Department and decided to hand over these military camps to the county soldiers, and the government soldiers took over them. When they were harvested,

Half of them belong to the treasury, and half of them belong to these soldiers.”

"Because this was obtained out of thin air and did not occupy his original income and land, the soldiers did not object. These troops can also be used as rewards to those soldiers who have made meritorious service."

Zhao Xun nodded and agreed to the suggestion. The reason for the military camp was that the food was short of food in the past year and last year, and Zhao Xun let the soldiers do this. Now the treasury has stored a lot of food.

Zhao Xun didn't want his professional army to become a construction corps.

"The Liaodong Kingdom and the Sumo Marine tribe had never started a war in the winter. Of course, we also stopped the weapons trade with them. In addition, due to the snow disaster, many Marine people moved to the three eastern prefectures and became the people of our Youzhou.

As for the Beihai tribes, they and the Beihai tribe have basically weakened some points now, and their foundation has been destroyed after many wars. Speaking of which, the current Beihai Protectorate can annex them at any time. They have been to the

We ask for help, hoping that we can support food and fuel. Other things, in the past few months, have nothing big to do."

Zhao Xun nodded slightly and said, "Very good, then the one below will focus on the Shiwei people, Hei Shui Mohe and Liaodong Kingdom, and let them fight first."

"As for the Beihai tribes, we don't need to do it for the time being, so as not to make the Liaodong Kingdom and the Sumo Marine tribe uneasy. As for the support materials, you can exchange them for horses from these tribe leaders, and at the same time, you will also buy ordinary Beihai Marine tribes and Marine tribes.
