The autumn wind is gradually disappearing, the north wind has quietly taken over, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
People's enthusiasm was also greatly affected. The confrontation resumed on the banks of the Yellow River. Dongling Ferry and Hongnong were occupied by the Jin army, and they were in a distant stalemate with the Tang army in Tongguan.
The hostile parties on both sides of the east and west banks are huddled in the city, facing each other across the river, and their armies have been mobilized. However, in general, the cost of forcibly crossing the Yellow River is very high, and no one will act rashly.
By the end of July, the situation was generally settled, the shore was completely quiet, the army was preparing for the winter, and neither side showed any intention of crossing the river in the middle of winter to fight again.
Li Po then ordered people to pack their bags and prepare to return to Jinyang.
Before that, Li Po summoned the generals from all the ministries on the other side to the camp and gave them some instructions. In fact, what he said was not much new. He just sorted out the subordinates of each ministry, which not only gave them a certain degree of autonomy, but also gave them some autonomy.
A bottom line has been drawn to prevent everyone from acting rashly if they cannot work together or have the self-restraint to fight.
At this moment, the shortcoming of Jinyang being too far away from the front of the battle was further exposed, but at this time Li Po had no intention of moving his Han Dynasty palace to Jiangjun.
Because that would be too troublesome. As the palace of the Han Dynasty moves south, all the yamen built in Jinyang will also move south. What is involved is definitely not one person and two people, or one yamen and two yamen, but one
Quite a huge project.
It is obviously inappropriate at such a time of year.
Moreover, Jinyang also has its advantages. It is the last line of defense against the Turks. Once something happens in the north, the various ministries and offices in Jinyang and the military can respond quickly.
In other words, Li Po never relaxed his guard against the Turks in the north, because Li Tang and the Turks were the two peaks in his heart, and he wanted to quickly get rid of them.
Furthermore, judging from the current situation, Li Tang will have more and more flaws. Strategically, he is also trying his best to find fighter opportunities. It is only a matter of time before he invades Kansai. This time will probably be tomorrow or later.
Two years.
Once you enter the hinterland of Guanxi and dig out the Li family's lair, then Chang'an is the best heart. No matter where you look at it, it is not comparable to Jinyang. So at this time, moving the Han Dynasty Palace south to Jiangjun seems a little bit
It's superfluous.
In other words, it's not that Li Po didn't want to do this, but that since he started his army, things have changed every year, which is dizzying and dizzying.
Almost all long-term plans have no chance of proceeding smoothly amid such violent turmoil.
Unsurprisingly, the trip was delayed for a few more days. As the time entered August and the north wind became stronger, Li Pocai led his people to leave the bank of the Yellow River and head north.
This time Wang Jia's tour has come to an end. Like other things, plans and changes are mixed together, making Li Po's first tour full of variables.
Regarding the gains and losses of this trip, Li Po actually didn't have a clear idea at this time.
The counties and counties east of Hedong are still in the recovery period, and there is actually nothing interesting to see. It is difficult to see clearly the virtues and abilities of the officials, as well as their political successes and failures during such a casual inspection.
In general, Li Po feels that this is more of a formality than reality. Unless it is necessary, it is better to do less in the future. It will make many people fearful and waste people and money. Why bother? We can't imitate Yang Er and do anything.
All taken for granted.
After going out for a walk, Li Po seemed to understand some truths. But in fact, everyone understands some truths. It just depends on whether you are willing to act according to the truth.
Just like Li Po, he also knew that the reason for this trip was far-fetched, but he still came out. Now even if he feels that there is no need to go on tour, it is far better to stay in Jinyang and improve the system and regulations, but he
You can still find good reasons for yourself.
For example, taking advantage of Wang Shichong's arrival from the west, he intervened in Henan, which shows that he was very foresighted. If he had been in Jinyang when he received the news, he might not have been able to get to the river in time to use various military units.
Because of the lack of mutual affiliation, missed opportunities are almost certain.
Such a strong reason was enough to cover up the shortcomings of his tour. Unfortunately, there was not enough time. Otherwise, he would actually want to go north for a walk.
I haven’t been back to Mayi in a few years, and I really miss it...
Facing the north wind, the group crossed the state, passed the government, and headed north.
First he went to Jiangjun, where Li Po stayed for three days. In any case, this is the heart of the Hedong Plain. The population and cultivated land are all owned by the leaders of Hedong. The local clan power is also extremely powerful, only slightly inferior to that of Jinyang.
If Li Po could ascend to that position, the Hedong Dao Administration Office would definitely be located in Jiangjun.
To be honest, Li Po didn't like this place very much, for the same reason that he didn't like Jinyang very much. Here he could see groups of descendants of aristocratic families, which greatly affected his mood.
And for this reason, wherever he stops in the future, he will not be happy.
Of course, as the owner of Jin Land, he must deal with these characters, so the so-called dislike can only be relatively speaking.
In fact, many of the descendants of the aristocratic families are not that annoying. On the contrary, they are much more pleasing to the eye than those reckless heroes.
When leaving Jiangjun, there were many people seeing him off. Zhao Ying, the prefect of Jiangjun who had reached the peak of his life, finally found an opportunity to introduce several young men from the county to His Highness the King of Han.
Unfortunately, Li Po didn't have the habit of criticizing the underachievers, and he didn't have the leisure to do so. He just patiently encouraged them with a few words, then rolled up a cloud of smoke and continued his journey north.
Passing through Linfen and Jiexiu all the way, when they arrived at Pingyao, they saw people from Jinyang, headed by Wen Yanbo, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who were welcoming the king.
This time to welcome the King of Han back to Jinyang, the formation was very different from the past. Everyone greeted him at the left side of the road, and the ranks were also strict and hierarchical.
"We sincerely welcome the king to return to court after victory..."
Everyone prostrated themselves on the ground, and the surrounding soldiers and generals prostrated themselves at the same time. The atmosphere was solemn and solemn, which fully demonstrated Li Po. The feeling of looking around and looking forward to his own glory emerged spontaneously. This was almost the world's best.
It is the ultimate pursuit of all aspiring men in the world, and it is something that you will never forget once you have tasted it.
Li Po didn't immerse himself for too long, because the crowd didn't let him calm down and take a closer look, so they surrounded him on the road.
Pingyao, which was as empty as a tomb in the past, has now changed. People with knives on their waists can be seen everywhere. These are soldiers from the government, and most of them were captured by the Tang army. This means that the people of Pingyao are destined to be tough and martial.
For the officials in Pingyao, this is naturally not a good thing, but once the army is recruited, a place like Pingyao can form an army almost in the blink of an eye. In view of this, Pingyao County's military cao has been placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of War...
In the blink of an eye, Jinyang is already in sight. Another year has passed. Li Po feels that time has passed too fast. From the time he started his army to the present, more than ten years have passed by. He has gone from being a teenager to
The young man is already in his thirties.
The war in the world is still going on, but he has grown from a pawn to a local prince. The saying that people will stand at thirty is just right for him.
Looking at the thick city walls of Jinyang, Li Po thought a lot... I hope... that when I reach the age of thirty, I can reach a higher level... and make the world really peaceful.
When the King of Han returns, the whole city rejoices.
Before entering the city, Zhongshu Ling Chen Xiaoyi had already led Zhongshu, the chief and deputy officials of the six departments, and the generals of the Wei Mansion stationed in Jinyang to greet him outside the city.
"Congratulations on your return, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has had a hard journey."
This time, the sense of ceremony was even stronger. As far as the eye could see, there were figures kneeling on the ground, but behind them was the tall and thick Jinyang City Wall.
Li Po, who was sitting on the horse, looked around contentedly. After a long time, he turned over and dismounted, helped the white-haired Chen Xiaoyi up, waved his hands vigorously, and said: "Everyone, get up..."
Then people stood up one after another, but no one knew who it was, and suddenly shouted, "The King of Han is mighty."
Suddenly something seemed to be ignited. First, some people echoed, and then they gathered into a torrent. The mountains roared and the tsunami shook the fields and surged in the sky of Jinyang.
In front of Li Po, Chen Xiaoyi bowed and said with a smile: "The people's support can be used. This is a sign of great achievements."
Wen Yanbo also echoed from the side, "The auspicious omen is perfect, and the great cause will be prosperous. It seems that the day when the king ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Plan and rides on the dragon and the phoenix is not far away."
Li Po laughed loudly, looking very happy, but he said in his heart, do you really dare to say that you think I didn't die quickly enough? You still ride on the dragon and the phoenix, and I ride on the crane to the west...
After entering the city, the scene became more lively. The people lined the streets to welcome the return of the King of Han. Many people burned incense and paid homage. Li Po didn't know if this was an arrangement or if he was really so popular.
Anyway, I have definitely never enjoyed this kind of treatment before.
When they arrived at the gate of Prince Han's Mansion, Princess Li Bi of Han Dynasty led everyone from Prince Han's Mansion to greet her. There was a lot of excitement again, which made Li Po feel a little dizzy.
In fact, this is the glory that the princes of a place deserve. The reason why it has never appeared before is simply because Li Po has not yet become king and his foundation is not stable, so people are inconvenient to organize such a ceremony.
Now that everything is on track, etiquette must keep up. Otherwise, why have so many people since ancient times sacrificed their lives and blood to become kings and hegemons? In fact, all they want is this kind of power.
It's a scene of admiration.
After entering the Han Dynasty and sending Chen Xiaoyi and others away temporarily, Li Po felt a little cleaner. He returned to the back house of the mansion, washed up, and then went to the flower hall to talk to his wives, concubines, and sisters.
Looking at the red eyes with a swollen belly, Li Po wanted to laugh. This tall and mighty guy who didn't belong to him was also pregnant with a baby, and he didn't know what the baby would look like.
Seeing her husband looking over, her red-eyed, sincere eyes clearly misunderstood the heartless guy's intentions. She immediately patted her belly vigorously, indicating that she was doing well and didn't have anything to worry about, but it frightened Li
Come on, this bastard bitch, do you want to scare me to death?
