The army entered the territory of Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun had long received the news that Tubo was defeated and fled, and was attacked continuously by two famous generals, Cheng Chumo and Xu Shiji. They suffered heavy losses and panicked people. As soon as the army arrived, they surrendered one after another.
Qin Huaidao was not a face-saving Li Er, and there were no corrupt scholars around him who demanded benevolence and righteousness. All the stubborn nobles and senior officials were killed, and those who came to surrender were demoted to civilians. However, their family properties were confiscated, and all the young and strong men were recruited into the army, organized into the Guiyi Army and handed over to Fang Yi.
Then, Liu Dewei's eldest son Liu Yanjing and Liu Hongji's eldest son Liu Renshi were in charge.
Fang Yize has a similar personality to Fang Yiai. He also likes to dance with guns and sticks, but his strength is inferior. Liu Dewei's eldest son Liu Yanjing came to surrender with 300 soldiers and gave Qin Huaidao a letter written by Liu Dewei. Qin Huaidao felt relieved after reading it.
The generals will be left behind. After the famous generals, their strength will not be inferior.
As for Liu Renshi, he has been with his father since he was a child. He has been in battle for many years, has rich practical experience and has good abilities. He serves as the commander of the Guiyi Army, with Fang Yize and Liu Yanjing as his deputy.
The army crushed them all the way, and no one could stop them.
Six days later, the army met up with Cheng Chumo, Xu Shiji, and Xue Wanche in an open area by the Yellow River. Looking at the cavalry roaring in one after another, Qin Huaidao was in a good mood. When they separated, they only had more than 30,000 troops. When they came back,
At that time, he brought nearly 100,000 troops. It is indeed not easy to leave a name in history.
"Hahaha!"
The loud voice of Yiai, a distant relative, came across the room: "King Han, I miss you so much."
Qin Huaidao smiled knowingly and looked at Fang Xuanling next to him. After offending Li Er, Fang Xuanling naturally could not stay in Chang'an. The city after the attack needed to be managed. The general was not good enough and could only rely on civil servants, so he took him with him.
.
Fang Xuanling saw her son whining, heartless, and not calm at all. He was so angry that his face was ugly, but it was not easy to get angry. Then he thought about it, maybe this would be good. Being more frank would win the trust of the King of Han, and his mood suddenly changed.
It felt much better, so he asked, "You little brat, have you made any meritorious deeds?"
"Old man?" Fang Yiai blurted out. Realizing that something was wrong, it was too late. He quickly stopped his horse and did not dare to step forward. He said awkwardly: "Dad, why are you here?"
"If I don't come here, are you not going to recognize me as your father?"
"You don't dare, you will always be my dad."
"I'm so scared, come here and talk."
"Oh...here he comes." Fang Yiai walked forward with a smile like a humble quail.
"I'll take care of you later."
Fang Xuanling snorted coldly, clasped his fists towards Xu Shiji and Xue Wanche who were approaching, and said, "Two generals, it's been a long time!"
The two of them clasped their fists in return, and Xue Wanche sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that we three old guys would meet in Tuyuhun."
"There are so many things that I didn't expect. It's not your style to be emotional." Xu Shiji responded, cupping his hands towards Qin Huaidao and saying: "King of Han, where is Chang'an?"
Qin Huaidao knew what Xu Shiji wanted to ask, and said bluntly: "The warrior Yu was beheaded by Luo Wu, the eldest Sun Wuji was stabbed to death by Luo Zhang, and the new king committed suicide to apologize. The revenge of you and your brothers has been avenged."
"Thank you, King Han!" Xu Shiji was overjoyed, with a touch of moisture in his eyes.
"Where's Your Majesty?" Xue Wanche asked.
"Whether you live for two or three years, once you clean up the mess in the imperial court, it can take as long as one year, as short as half a year, or even less." Qin Huaidao explained.
Everyone knows Li Er too well. How can he not clean up the mess of the imperial court with his unyielding character? He only has less than a year to live, but what does shorter mean?
Even Fang Xuanling asked curiously: "Shorter? Do you know something?"
"King Wei!"
What he said shocked everyone. They were all human beings, and it was obvious at one point. It was not worth it for Li Er. The King of Wei who had always wanted to ascend to the throne had been secretly preparing. How could it not work once the new king died? Maybe it would happen again.
It was a rebellion, but it has nothing to do with anyone.
Everyone exchanged looks and did not delve deeper into this issue.
Qin Huaidao didn't want to talk about this issue, so he led everyone to the central military tent, where they had meat and drank freely, talking about various wars after the division of troops, and bursts of laughter.
After eating and drinking, Qin Huaidao asked people to remove the food, spread out the map and hang it up for everyone to see. He pointed at the location of Tuyuhun with a short knife and said: "Everyone, I intend to use the Yellow River as the boundary and divide Tuyuhun into Hexi County and Hedong County.
, a number of counties were established under it, and Tuyuhun was abolished."
Everyone didn't know why, so they listened carefully.
Qin Huaidao paused for a moment and continued: "The territory has been conquered, but it needs to be garrisoned and managed. Therefore, I need Uncle Fang to stay with people who are familiar with local governance. First, vigorously develop farming, animal husbandry, and border trade to stabilize people's hearts.
, Second, train more capable people to reserve talents for the subsequent capture of Tubo."
Managing the place is easy for Fang Xuanling. After thinking about it, he said: "Yes, young talents from various prefectures can stay. In addition, I have many disciples and former officials. I will write to ask them to come, especially Liu Rengui, the magistrate of Zhouzhi County.
This person is both civilized and martial, and has great talent."
Qin Huai met Liu Rengui when he was building roads, but he didn't have much contact with him and didn't understand him. However, it was definitely not an ordinary person to be recommended by Fang Xuanling. He was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The entire Tuyuhun territory, the prefectures of Longyou Road and Hezhou,
Taozhou, Minzhou, etc. are all in our hands and cannot be returned to the imperial court. The local governance is entirely decided by Uncle Fang. We still need a military general to guard it and a combination of civil and military forces to achieve stability."
Guarding means staying and taking measures to attack Tubo.
We are all military generals. Anyone who doesn't want to open up new territories should lower their heads.
Qin Huaidao understood everyone's thoughts, but he couldn't leave anyone behind. His eyes fell on Xu Shiji. This person had the talent to lead and was capable. He also had a stalemate with Li Er and could not go back. He was the best candidate. As for Xue Wanche, he charged into the battle.
No problem, the commander-in-chief is almost interested.
When Fang Xuanling saw that Qin Huaidao didn't open his mouth to order the general, he realized after a little analysis that he had to put on the bad face himself, so he said, "General Xu, would you like to stay, and you and I can join hands to make this place a fertile land?"
"this……"
It would be inappropriate not to agree when asked, but he was reluctant to agree, which made Xu Shiji feel a little embarrassed.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "General Xu, you know the importance of this place..."
"I obey!" Although Xu Shiji was old, his EQ and IQ were all on the line. Seeing that Qin Huaidao said this, he obviously meant for him. If he really wanted to wait for all the words to be said, his nature changed, so he quickly interrupted and agreed.
Qin Huaidao smiled: "Everyone, Hanzhou is our center. The east of Hanzhou is divided into the Eastern War Zone. Tuyuhun, Longyou Road and the cities we captured are all classified into the Eastern War Zone. After Tubo is captured, Tubo will
It is the southern war zone, the Turks are the western war zone, and the grassland is the northern war zone, which facilitates centralized management. What do you think?"
They are all human beings, so they would naturally not object to Sha Sha until they understood what Qin Huaidao wanted to do.
Of course, military generals hope that the more powerful they will be in the future, but civil servants are different. Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and felt that this division made sense, but he was worried about becoming more powerful in the future, but now was the time to employ people, so it was not easy to object.
Seeing that no one objected, Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Then everyone agrees with this division. Now, I appoint General Xu Shiji as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Theater Command, which is higher than the level of army commander. There are five armies under him. Officer, you yourself
Go and persuade, those who are willing to stay will stay, and I will leave you 50,000 troops, and those who are not enough will find a way later."
"As ordered, thank you King Han."
Xu Shiji was overjoyed. His regret at not being able to attack Tubo dissipated a lot. He was the first commander-in-chief of the Hanzhou Army. He was higher than the rank of army commander. He was in charge of five armies and an army of 150,000 people. He had just arrived. What kind of trust was this?
A scholar dies for a confidant!
"Remember, eliminate the bandits within the territory as soon as possible to ensure the security of the territory and the people. As long as the eastern theater is stable, you may be able to catch up with the Turks."
"real?"
"Do I need to lie to you?"
"Hahaha, okay, in half a year, I will give the King of Han the Eastern War Zone where the house is open all night, and I won't be able to come to see you." Xu Shiji said solemnly.
"I'm serious, I still have great trust in your ability." Qin Huaidao said with emotion, people in this era really value their trust and trust, and they always raise their heads to see you.
Next, everyone discussed details such as how to restore local governance and how to quell local banditry. Based on the experience of later generations, Qin Huaidao proposed mobilizing the common people to participate together. There would be rewards for reporting and arrests. The rewards should be generous, since there was so much land left idle anyway.
Launch large-scale land reclamation, encourage breeding, etc., exempt from tax for three years, and vigorously develop lake salt. There is salt in Qinghai Lake. If we transfer some from Qinjiazhuang and process it deeply, it will be a cornucopia.
When Fang Xuanling heard that there was a lot of salt in Qinghai Lake, he became more confident and wrote down everything Qin Huaidao said for future implementation.
