After all the county magistrates and county lieutenants appointed by Gao Fei left Xiangping, Pei Yuanshao led his people to transport all the supplies in Tianjia Fort to Xiangping City, and at Gao Fei's instruction, they knocked down the outer wall of Tianjia Fort.
, removed the institutions outside Tianjiabao and began to attract people to live there.
Gao Fei and Diao Chan immediately held a simple wedding. Under the auspices of Xun You, they officially became husband and wife, and he also recognized Ouyang Yinying as his adopted sister on the same day.
On the other hand, Gao Fei began to lead an army of 25,000 people to conduct training on the hills near Xiangping City. He trained these soldiers in the same way he trained the Feiyu Army, and distributed armors and weapons to all the soldiers.
The troops all put on black armor, and the weapons were all set according to individual needs.
Although Liaodong is not as good as Liangzhou, it is also a frontier place. The slight difference is that most of the people here can shoot arrows, but not horseback riding. Because there are many mountains and hills here, if there is an invasion by the Xianbei people, they will hide
He entered the mountains and forced away the Xianbei cavalry. Therefore, he could only train these 25,000 people into a top-notch infantry army.
The 25,000-strong army includes Chu Yan's bandits, farmers who surrendered to the army due to hunger in Jizhou, and Tianjiapu's army who surrendered. In short, the army has a mixed situation. For this reason, Gao Fei works hard every day.
He led this army for physical training and asked them to advance on foot with dirt bags on their backs. He appointed Chu Yan, Bian Xi, Yu Du, Guan Hai, and Pei Yuanshao as captains, each with 5,000 men, and trained them separately.
Money was used as a reward to stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers. Sun Qingze was the lieutenant of Xiangping County and was responsible for public security.
Gao Fei entrusted all government affairs to Xun You. He believed that Xun You could handle it well, so his job became single, which was to train the army. The country cannot stand without defense, and the people will be uneasy without soldiers. This sentence deeply resonated with Xun You.
Imprinted in Gao Fei's mind, he firmly believed that political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Day after day, twenty days passed in the blink of an eye. It was already mid-June, and the weather was getting hotter. The original Tianjiabao had become the largest village in Liaodong besides Xiangping City.
There were 20,000 people, and under Xun You's promotion of land distribution, the people were very happy.
In the military, after a twenty-day training camp, the physical fitness of 25,000 people has basically improved to a big level. Those with good physical fitness will become better, and those with weak physical fitness will become better. It is not in vain.
Already.
During these twenty days, Gao Fei personally taught Chu Yan, Bian Xi, Yu Du, Sun Qing, and Pei Yuanshao a complete set of modern training methods, just like how he trained the Feiyu Army in Chencang, allowing his men to
The five captains were assigned to share the training tasks, but he had a more important thing to do, which was to explore for minerals.
On this day, Gao Fei came back from the city on a black horse, and his thin shirt was already soaked with sweat. As soon as he entered the prefect's house, he couldn't wait to order someone to bring a basin of water, and used cold water to soak up the sweat on his body.
Washing it off finally relieved the heat.
After returning to his room and changing his clothes, Gao Fei walked straight towards the meritorious service room, wanting to see if Xun You was busy and to ask Xun You some things.
In the meritorious room, Xun You was shaking a cattail leaf fan with one hand and writing quickly with the other hand, but there were still some beads of sweat on his forehead.
The door was open, so Gao Fei walked to the door quietly, looked into the room, and saw Xun You was writing with his head down and meticulously, so he quietly walked in and sat on the guest seat on the side.
After a while, Xun You put down the brush in his hand, let out a long breath, and fanned himself with the cattail leaf fan in his left hand. As soon as he looked up, he saw Gao Fei sitting in the guest seat, so he hurriedly put down the cattail leaf fan in his hand and stood up.
He stood up and walked towards Gao Fei, saying as he walked: "My subordinates did not notice the arrival of the lord, so they made the lord sit there and wait for a long time. It is really..."
Gao Fei smiled and interrupted Xun You: "Sir, we have known each other for so long, and there are no outsiders here. Why do you need to meet me?"
Xun You has been very respectful to Gao Fei ever since he heard Zuo Ci say that Gao Fei was the reincarnation of the Ziwei Emperor Star. He originally had a little thought for the big man, but now he was focused on Gao Fei. He just heard him say:
"My lord's feelings for his subordinates are naturally known to me, but my lord is my lord after all, and my subordinates must not call me brothers. My lord, I just received a document from Hu Yu today, saying that he has arrived in Fanhan County.
, the seven thousand people in the county are very grateful to the Lord, he will definitely guard the southeast gate of Liaodong for the Lord, and complete the tasks entrusted by the Lord."
"Well, very good. Hu Yu knows the barbarians around him very well. Maybe he will play a great role in dealing with Goguryeo in the future." Gao Fei said casually.
After hearing this, Xun You asked: "Master, do you want to deal with Goguryeo?"
"Yes, Goguryeo, Fuyu and others are the ones we have to deal with in the future. There are treasures buried everywhere in their territory. Liaodong County in the entire Northeast is far from enough. If we want to conquer Goguryeo in the future, Fuyu and others will let them join us.
, we can mine iron ore, coal, gold and other important materials there."
Seeing Gao Fei's ambition, Xun You immediately replied: "My lord, please forgive me for talking too much. Our existing army of more than 20,000 people is not enough to compete with Goguryeo. If my lord wants to invade Goguryeo's territory,
According to the lord's envoy, my subordinates thought that they could send envoys to Goguryeo and form an alliance with the King of Goguryeo. As long as they do not invade us, we can safely accumulate strength in Liaodong. When we have 50,000 troops, we will be almost ready.
Troops are sent to Goguryeo."
"Well, that's what I mean. We should first show weakness to Goguryeo, send envoys to meet the King of Goguryeo, and offer gold, silver, and silk to make the King of Goguryeo think that we are afraid of him, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. This strategy is quite good. However, if we want to go to Goguryeo,
There must be a wise and resourceful person, but sir, he still has to be in charge of Liaodong, and he can't go there in person, but I don't have a suitable candidate at the moment?" Gao Fei was secretly worried, and hated himself for not gathering more nets when he came to Liaodong.
Talents.
Xun You chuckled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I have an extremely suitable candidate."
"Oh? Who is it?" Gao Fei asked curiously.
Xun You said: "The Lord's adopted sister is Ouyang Yinying!"
"Sakura? How can she do this? She is only thirteen years old?"
"My lord, you still don't know. These days, my subordinate, Professor Ouyang Yinying, has been questioning her thoroughly. Since the Ouyang family moved to Lujiang, Yangzhou, and Liaodong, the reason why they can live near Xiangping for so long is all because of the Ouyang family.
Ouyang's reputation is well known. Ouyang was a great scholar of the time, and Ouyang Yinying's father was proficient in Yili. He once taught disciples in Liaodong, and one of them was a prince from Goguryeo, named Yiyimo."
After listening to Xun You's words, Gao Fei said "Oh" and asked: "I haven't asked about this matter. I only asked about some simple information. As for his father's affairs, I have never asked about it. If you say so
If you come, then Yi Yimo knows Ouyang Yinying, right?"
Xun You said: "Exactly, my subordinates only remembered this after hearing my lord talk about Goguryeo. Although Ouyang Yinying is young, his behavior is very decent. If he is sent to Goguryeo, he may be able to reach a peace.
Things about the friendly relationship between Goguryeo and Goguryeo. Moreover, the smelting technology of the Goguryeo people is very low, and the weapons they need all come from the Han Dynasty. With this relationship, we can still conduct some trade with the Goguryeo people. In this way, the Goguryeo people will be safe.
Live in peace with us, and when we become stronger in the future, it will not be too late to send troops to attack Goguryeo."
After hearing this, Gao Fei nodded heavily and said: "Mr. Xun is indeed my mastermind. With Mr. Xun by my side, stability in Liaodong will be just around the corner."
"Thank you for your compliment, my lord."
"Sir, I will leave Xiangping tomorrow. You are in charge of everything here. I have arranged everything in the army. I am going to go out for a month to tour various counties and visit the talents in Liaodong. As for the talents in Liaodong,
Let me ask her about Ouyang Yinying. After all, he is a daughter's family. If you don't want to, we can only find another way. Sir, I won't bother you."
"Lord, go slowly!" Xun You sent Gao Fei out of the door and bowed.
Back in the back hall, Gao Fei saw Ouyang Yinying and Diao Chan chatting and joking. He immediately said straight to the point: "Xiaoying, I have something to ask you. I wonder if you are willing to do it!"
Seeing Gao Fei coming, Diao Chan and Ouyang Yin Ying both stood up. They sat down only after Gao Fei came over and sat on the stone bench and motioned for them all to sit down.
"Lang Jun, you look heavy, has something happened?" Diao Chan was very concerned about Gao Fei, glanced at Gao Fei, and then asked.
"Well, there is something wrong, but it doesn't matter." Gao Fei replied softly, and then looked at Ouyang Yinying, waiting for her answer.
Ouyang Yinying said: "If brother asks my little sister to do something, I will definitely not shirk it. Please tell me clearly."
Gao Fei said: "You know Yi Yimo, right?"
Ouyang Yinying nodded and asked, "Is this related to Yi Yimou?"
"Who is Yi Yimo?" Diao Chan interrupted and asked. He was worried about Gao Fei and also cared about this sister.
"Sister-in-law, Yi Yimo is the son of the King of Goguryeo." Ouyang Yinying said.
"Goguryeo?" Diao Chan didn't know enough after all. He stayed in the palace all year round and didn't know much about things outside. He looked at Gao Fei with blank eyes.
"My dear, it's nothing serious, don't worry." Gao Fei touched Diao Chan's beautiful little face, turned to Ouyang Yinying and said, "I want you to go to Goguryeo as an envoy in my name, are you willing?"
