Hou Mo and Li Zhi led a Qiang cavalry brigade and a horse infantry team to march northward towards the enemy's Daqiu stronghold in the south of Qinzhou.
The 3,000 elite Qiang cavalry brigade, with only 1,500 horse infantry, served as the vanguard and swept towards Daqiu Village, where the Pingxia Qiang cavalry was stationed on the left front wing.
The Pingxia tribe's Qiang cavalry were good at riding and fighting, but not good at building strongholds to defend cities. The Daqiu strongholds built among the hills and mountains in southern Qinzhou were also very crude.
For the convenience of cavalry and drinking water, Daqiu Village is located on the south side of a stream. There is a large slope in front of the village and the terrain is open. The camp is small, and a large number of cavalry have gathered. Quite a few people have camped outside the village to rest.
.
The Longyou Army came on foot and on horseback, and the Pingxia cavalry stationed at Daqiu Village and several nearby simple defense villages also dispatched brazenly.
The dark cavalry formed a formation in front of the foot of a rocky mountain covered with ice and snow, as if several torrents spread out, gathering momentum and about to surge out at any moment.
Scouts from both sides were patrolling the meadows and valleys, picking up longbows and crossbows and shooting at each other.
Li Zhi led his horse infantry and stopped six or seven miles away from Daqiu Village. After the infantry in heavy armor dismounted, they formed five cone-shaped charge formations in a valley diagonally toward Daqiu Village.
Press forward.
Hou Mo led three thousand Qiang cavalry in green and black armor, divided into five teams and cruised among the low hillsides and valleys on the flanks.
At this time, the enemy cavalry also moved out brazenly. The front line drawn left and right by groups of cavalry seemed like a torrent flowing through the valley that was three or four miles wide.
The enemy's cavalry was deployed in this formation because they wanted to use the superior cavalry force to directly surround the Longyou Army's forward troops and horses, and then use the terrain to continuously launch attacks until they tore the Longyou Army into pieces.
It's just that the enemy general obviously overestimated his own fighting will.
Surrounded by more than a hundred cavalry, Hou Mo, together with Li Zhi, stood at the center of the heavy armored charge formation. He changed the flag and the cavalry on both wings quickly spread to the sides and rear wings.
The established tactics are very simple. We must first do everything possible to prevent the cavalry on both sides from falling into a melee.
Facing the enemy cavalry coming out in droves, the cavalry on both wings shrank toward the side and rear wings along the slope valleys and ridges, actively exposing the heavy armored infantry formation in the middle, and used large shields and heavy crossbows to meet the impact of the enemy cavalry.
When the heavy armored cavalry in the center was like a rock, restraining the enemy cavalry's fierce attack like a torrent, the cavalry on both wings came up from the flanks.
At this time, the longer the enemy cavalry is entangled and stuck, the more effectively the heavy crossbow of the heavy armored infantry formation can play its due role.
The terrain to the west of Longshan is said to be flat and broad, but it is located on the edge of the Loess Plateau, intersecting with the mountains and ridges of the branches of Longshan and Minshan, and the mountainous terrain is very obvious.
Without taking the ancient post roads built over thousands of years - the ancient post roads were severely damaged by the enemy beforehand - the chariots and the heavy spring-arm bed crossbows and scorpion crossbows could not be dragged into the shallow ravines and troughs intertwined with ravines.
Combat.
If the heavily armored infantry wants to move forward in an area with crisscrossed ravines, it will be very difficult for them to walk twenty or thirty miles in a straight line without the help of horses and horses.
Generally speaking, this area is dominated by cavalry. The Qiang people, who are proficient in riding and shooting, are brave and control excellent war horses. They weave through the ridges of the valleys and ridges at extremely fast speeds and come and go like the wind.
The Longyou army will not fight with the enemy's cavalry in the ravines and valleys. The infantry will ride on the horse, and the cavalry will protect each other, and go straight to the wall to form an array. If the enemy fights, they will wait for them with large shields and heavy crossbows. If they don't fight, they will advance in front of the wall.
, also served by large shields and heavy crossbows.
The heavy crossbows equipped by the heavily armored infantry were also the weapons that Li Zhi, Hou Mo and other generals relied on to win.
The heavy crossbow equipped by the heavy armored infantry can no longer be called an arm-opening crossbow. Because the crossbow arm is too strong, it is quite laborious for strong warriors to even use their feet to fire the crossbow. They mainly use a gear winch to fire the crossbow, and the shooting speed is faster than the traditional one.
The crossbow is a little slower when the arm is opened.
The weight of the arm-opening crossbow is also quite gratifying, weighing more than 30 kilograms. No matter how strong a warrior is, it is difficult for a soldier to hold the rope and control the horse while raising the crossbow with one hand to accurately shoot the enemy; and firing the crossbow and loading the arrows are more difficult than that of the cavalry.
The equipment of the light crossbow is complex and cumbersome.
However, the infantry's heavy crossbow is powerful enough to shoot through ring mail two hundred paces away. This advantage is enough to make up for its many shortcomings.
The sword and shield soldiers guarded the front with large shields. The heavy crossbows exposed sharp armor-piercing arrow clusters from the gaps in the large shields. They spied the enemy cavalry and shot them head-on. The dense crossbow arrows could always kill more than ten people.
Shot to the ground.
The enemy cavalry tried to take advantage of the gap between the heavy crossbow shots to swarm up and attack the shield formation. The cavalry on both wings rushed up bravely, slowing down the attack speed from the flanks, reducing the pressure on the shield formation, and loading the heavy crossbows with arrows.
Buy more time.
Even if the enemy cavalry were not afraid of casualties and rushed into the array of heavily armored infantry, even if they were riding on horseback and had the advantage of being in a commanding position, the swords they wielded would be difficult to break through the protection of heavy shields and armor, severely damaging Longyou.
The infantry of the army, who only had leather armor for protection, suffered heavy casualties when faced with heavy attacks from spears and swords.
After several rounds of contact, the enemy cavalry saw that they could not gain any advantage, but they spread out to the two wings and did not dare to fight anymore. Hou Mo and Li Zhi commanded the infantry and cavalry to coordinate towards Daqiu Village.
In the relatively open valley, the Longyou Army did not have an advantage in the size of the cavalry, and it was difficult to fight an annihilation battle against such a large enemy cavalry. However, the Longyou Army's campaign intentions were very straightforward.
They must first capture the cities and villages of the Pingxia Qiang Cavalry south of the Wei River, forcing them to lose their foothold on the plateaus and hills south of the Wei River, and have to withdraw from the valleys south of the Wei River.
As long as the Longyou Army can seize the southern part of Qinzhou and force the Weishui River, it can also block the passage for Wang Xiaoxian's troops to escape along the Weishui River Valley to the plateau area west of Longshan from the west wing, completing the set combat mission.
Except for the Pingxia cavalry generals who occasionally kill bloody people, most of the Pingxia cavalry generals are quite conservative in fighting. They usually fight for a while, and when there is no chance to take advantage of them, they gather their troops and retreat.
Who wants to retreat to a simple walled city?
And those Qiang generals who were so angry that they were killed in the face of Longyou Army's shield formation, crossbow formation and coordinated infantry and cavalry tactics, were killed with bloodshed. In the end, no reinforcements came up to fight the bloody battle, so they had to bring them with them.
The remaining soldiers were defeated and retreated.
It is only more than a hundred miles from the Yangquan Liangzhai built by the Longyou Army in the past two years to Qinzhou Prefecture's Shanggui (Tianshui). However, the enemy strongholds in the southern part of Qinzhou were swept away one by one, forcing the enemy troops to withdraw northward, and the ancient post road was destroyed.
The enemy's army suffered serious damage. The army either crossed ravines or built roads and bridges along the way. The enemy's cavalry would sometimes stand guard on the other side of the gully to intimidate them. It was not until early March that 20,000 cavalry advanced to the foot of Shanggui City.
During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the land on both sides of the upper reaches of the Wei River belonged to Yongzhou. The ancestors of the Ying family in the Qin Dynasty performed meritorious service in raising horses for the Zhou royal family, and were granted the title of Qinchi at the west foot of Longshan Mountain to the north of the Wei River. It was also the earliest place name of Qinzhou seen in historical records.
The Qin Dynasty expanded to the south, and two counties, Gui and Yi, were established in the upper reaches of the Wei River. They were also the earliest two county-level establishments in history.
Qin County is today's Shanggui County, where the prefecture of Qinzhou is located. Tianshui County was established during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yi County was changed to a prefecture, and Qinzhou was first established, which is still in use today. As the seat of the prefecture, the county names of Shanggui and Tianshui are
It is still used mixedly today.
Li Zhigao held his whip on the south bank of the Weihe River and looked north.
Qinzhou is bounded by the Weishui River and has distinct topography.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were mountainous areas to the south and thick undulating loess hills to the north, while the valley area in the upper reaches of the Wei River contained fertile soil deposited by the Wei River and its tributaries.
The Qinzhou River Valley area has experienced wars for a long time, but even now, it still breeds and breeds more than 100,000 Han people who are good at farming, which shows its prosperity.
However, no matter how rich and fertile the river valley area was, Li Yuanshou finally did not dare to use the wealth accumulated by the third generation of Pingxia tribe to fight for this gift of meat. He led tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry to abandon Shanggui before the arrival of the Longyou army.
Cross the Wei River and retreat deep into the Loess Plateau to the north.
Previously, when the Liang army had not assembled a large force from the east wing to attack the hinterland of Yongzhou, Wang Xiaoxian and his generals still had a slightly optimistic view of the situation, thinking that after two years of recovery, the Mongolian army would finally be able to attack from Liangzhou.
The Fenshui River Valley was recaptured from the enemy's hands and the Liang army was expelled from the north of Xiangshan and Wangwushan. At the same time, Wang Xiaoxian had a lonely temperament and a proud heart, and was unwilling to flee without a fight and harm the Qiang and Hu.
At this time, Chai Jian, Zhou Tong, Hao Zixia and others had led across the Qinling Mountains and approached the southern region of Fengxiang. Since Wang Xiaoxian was unwilling to give up Fengxiang and fled westward to submit to Li Yuanshou, he was unable to divide his troops to defend Shanggui, so he could only watch Li Yuanshou lead Pingxia
The Qiang cavalry withdrew to the north, and the cities west of Longshan and north and south of the Wei River, such as Shanggui, fell into the hands of the Longyou Army without any bloodshed.
At this time, Wang Xiaoxian retracted his troops to Jiequan between Longshan and Qinling Mountains, hoping to use the dangerous terrain here to block the Longyou Army's eastward march along the Weishui River to Fengxiang...

In the Western Han Dynasty, Hanoi County was established south of Taihang Mountain, east of Wangwu Mountain, and north of Yuhe River. In the Wei and Sui Dynasties, the county was changed into a state. Hanoi County belonged to the three prefectures of Meng, Huai, and Wei, and governed 19 counties. Since the fall of the previous dynasty, Liang County was also
It is one of the most fierce battlefields between the two heroes of Jin Dynasty. The bones of countless generals are buried there. Every year in the late spring, the grass grows and the orioles fly, making it especially plump.
Since the Mongols invaded the south, they have gained all the Jin territory, and the three prefectures in Hanoi are also owned by the Mongols. Among them, Mengzhou overlooks Liangbian in the south, locks Heluo in the east, and guards Zhiguan and Taihang. The situation is the most important.
Since the first year of Taihe, the city of Mengzhou has been repaired several times. The city is strong, the pond is deep, the walls are connected, and the ditches are connected. At the same time, unmarried or widowed women from Heshuo and Zelu were forcibly recruited to marry Shu soldiers and farm the fields.
It is a military household. Therefore, in a world that has experienced many wars, Mengzhou still has more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians under its jurisdiction.
Mengzhou City, which has a population of 80,000 to 90,000 people, is garrisoned in the city and has civilian households. The city has not directly experienced the devastation of war for more than 20 years, and it is considered a rare prosperity in the world.
Yao Xishui sat under the locust tree, watching the new buds sprouting from the treetops, dotted with dots of green, and gently stroking the strings of the piano in front of him.
She couldn't suppress her panic and raised her head, but her view was blocked by the thick courtyard wall. She didn't know if it was just the soldiers and horses surrounding them outside the courtyard who were changing their defenses, or maybe Zhao Mengji thought of them again.
At this time, Zhou Yuan walked into the courtyard. He didn't know what he wanted to say, but he just stamped his feet and shrank back to the courtyard where he lived.
Yao Xishui didn't say anything to greet him.
The Wanhong Mansion, which was finally rebuilt in Mengzhou, was uprooted again. Most of the newly recruited disciples in the past few years were either dismissed directly or incorporated into the army to serve as hard labor. Lv Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, and Yao Xishui, headed by
More than thirty core personnel and Zhou Yuan's family were all imprisoned in this five-in-three-span courtyard by Zhao Mengji.
It has been a full month now.
In the past month, Zhao Mengji has not shown his face once, nor has he directly arrested or imprisoned them. Except for the daily delivery of food and water, they have been isolated from the outside world.
The front, rear and side doors of the house were also blocked from the outside, and food was only brought in through a hole | eye in the side wall.
They now don't know whether Zhao Mengji has made up his mind to completely surrender to Liang Guo, nor do they know whether Taiyuan sent troops and horses from Taiyuan, Zelu, Heshuo and other places to suppress Zhao Mengji's anomaly.
A chaotic sound came in, as if someone was clearing the obstacles in front of the courtyard gate.
Probably because he heard the noise outside the courtyard, Lu Qingxia, who was over sixty years old and had silver hair all over his hair, walked out of the room with someone's help, stood under the eaves, and stared at the sandalwood courtyard door.
After a while, the courtyard door opened leisurely, and two groups of soldiers filed in, escorting Zhou Yuan and others into the courtyard together. A dozen men wearing black short and narrow clothes walked in, and a
The thin man commanded, took out the cuffs and cuffed the hands and feet of Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, Yao Xishui and others one by one.
Lu Qingxia stared at the thin man at the head and asked, "Are you from Luoyang?"
Yao Xishui and the dozens of men in black did not look like direct descendants of Zhao Mengji, and the shackles that bound their hands and feet were so exquisite that they obviously did not look like creations outside of Luoyang.
"Zhang Shimin, the governor of the north side of the Daliang Staff Office, has met with Lu Gongshi and Zhou Shilang. Your Majesty specially invites you to go to Luoyang to talk about the past. In order to prevent the journey from going wrong, I have to ask for my seat first." The thin man cupped his hands and smiled.
road.
"Since Zhao Mengji has decided that the world is going to end in Daliang, why did he hand us over to Han Qian and not dare to see us? Is it possible that in the past few years, we have been so dependent on each other that there is no friendship at all?" Lu Qingxia did not struggle, just
She tried her best to turn her wrist so that the cuffs would not pinch her skinny wrist bones, and asked calmly.
"I wonder what kind of friendship Lu Gongzhi wants to have with me?" Zhao Mengji, wearing a plain robe, accompanied by An Jixiang, Gu Mingfu and others, walked into the courtyard and asked coldly, "If it weren't for the fact that Zhao has some intentions,
Be careful, your life has long been taken away by Lu Gongshi, why should we talk about friendship at this time?"
After Anji Xiang met Zhang Shimin and others, he found an opportunity after the Lantern Festival to talk to Zhao Mengji about the recruitment, but Zhao Mengji still ignored him at the time and even ordered Anji Xiang to be imprisoned.
Although Zhao Mengji was once a Shu army general who defended Liangzhou and killed decisively, he had led tens of thousands of Shu troops through many hardships over the years, and he no longer had the decisiveness of his early years.
After the battle of Zhiguanxing, he certainly did not want to be tied to a tree and hanged with the Mongolian army, but the outcome of the battle of Zhiguanxing was more or less accidental. Liang was surrounded by enemies on all sides, so it was not necessarily possible to win.
In the final victory, Zhao Mengji still wanted to preserve more strength in this world and not have to make a choice so quickly.
What ultimately prompted him to decide to place Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan and others under house arrest was the news that Han Qian was willing to sacrifice the near for the distant, and ordered tens of thousands of elite cavalry to go to Longyou to fight.
From this, he could see Han Qian's far-sightedness and absolute self-confidence. Someone else might rather let Wang Xiao escape west to join Li Yuanshou in Longyou, or make sure to capture Guanzhong first.
The second thing was that Zhao Mengji ordered Anji Xiang to be imprisoned, but he did not directly behead Anji Xiang or take him to the Queen Mother for trial. Lu Qingxia believed that Zhao Mengji still had the intention of attaching himself to Liang, and in early February he sent assassins to sneak into the governor's office in order to kill Zhao Mengji.
Seize his military power.
However, the whereabouts of Lu Qingxia and others, and even the people bribed by Zhao Mengji, were all under the surveillance of secret agents. Gu Ming Mansion promptly reported the news. Zhao Mengji set a trap and caught the assassin. Later, he also obtained the information from Lu Qingxia.
Qing Xia found out that Wu Su Dashi had given her the secret order to deal with his life as early as years ago.
He even thought that the two generals in his arms, especially one of them, were close to each other.
The Yajun Du Yuhou who was guarding him had also been bribed by Lu Qingxia a long time ago.
At this moment, Zhao Mengji had no choice but to release Anji Xiang. With the assistance of the staff of the Secretariat of the General Staff Office, he eliminated dissidents in the army and placed Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan and others under house arrest.
It was impossible to completely conceal the anomalies of Zhao Mengji and the Mengzhou garrison from the nearby Bianliang and Zelu garrison. However, the reason why they did not directly change their flags was because, in the final analysis, it was due to Wusu Dashi and Zhu Rang.
Well, they never wanted to see Wang Xiaoxian flee without a fight.
As long as they still hope that Wang Xiaoxian will stay in Fengxiang and guard both sides of the Wei River with Wang Yuankui, they will not take the initiative to leak to Wang Xiaoxian the news that Zhao Mengji and the Mengzhou garrison have surrendered to Luoyang.
For this reason, Zhao Mengji did not directly change his banner.
At this time, Li Zhigao and Feng Xuan had led their troops to occupy Tianshui and other cities in the upper reaches of the Wei River, blocking Wang Xiaoxian's westward escape route from the western foot of Longshan Mountain. It was now time for Zhao Mengji to officially change his banner.
Lu Qingxia and others were escorted out of the yard where they were under house arrest. A dozen carriages stopped in front of the street. He looked up and saw a large beetle in the distance picked out from the courtyard of Yaqianting of the Governor's Mansion. It had the word "Liang" in official script on it,
However, looking at the generals gathered around the carriage, although they have not yet changed into the uniforms of Liang Jun, they are in order and there is no panic as expected. It can be seen that the generals under Zhao Mengji have accepted the fact of surrendering to Liang Jun.
After being escorted into the carriage, the windows were not deliberately closed, so Lu Qingxia and the others could still look out at the scene outside the carriage along the way.
In addition to some lurking personnel, Luoyang will also send a group of personnel to be responsible for the reception and integration of Mengzhou. Zhang Shimin and Anji Xiang will be responsible for escorting Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, Yao Xishui and others to Luoyang - two ships
The official ship flying the battle flag of Luoyang|Navy Army was already waiting at the Nanguan River Pier.
…………
…………
At dusk, we sailed upstream from Mengzhou. The sky was clear that night, and the starry sky was clear, suitable for night sailing. We sailed into the Yiluo River overnight, turned southwest, and all the way to the Yiquemen Shuiguan Pier in Luoyang North City. The sun was already setting for the next day.
The boat stopped at an angle and docked.
At the end of the night, other personnel in Honglou and Zhou Yuan's family were being escorted to the Supervisory Mansion Prison. Lu Qingxia, Yao Xishui, and Zhou Yuan were escorted directly to Shangyang Garden by officials sent by Han Qian to wait in front of the dock.
In the past few years, Luoyang City on the south bank of Luoshui River has been repaired and has almost returned to its appearance before the sudden change of Heshuo River.
Although it is the location of the new national capital, the newly developed industries such as factories, mines and workshops are mainly concentrated in the south of Luoyang, distributed along both sides of the Yishui and Luoshui rivers.
At present, the city of Luoyang is mainly occupied by generals, officials, garrisons and families. Guanzhong, Hehuai, Taiyuan, Zelu and other places have not been recovered. The geographical advantage of Heluo as the center of the world has naturally not yet been fully realized. There are not many business travelers, and there are not many business travelers in the city.
There are not many residents, so it is not as prosperous and lively as imagined, giving people a mediocre impression.
Shangyang Garden, where Han Qian handled military and political affairs and lived in daily life, was also quite simple.
The carriage and horses arrived directly in front of Lingyun Pavilion. Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, and Yao Xishui were taken off the carriage. At this time, ten generals walked out of Lingyun Pavilion. They all seemed to know the identities of the three of them. They looked at them several times as they passed by, and they also
No one came up to talk to them, so they left one after another.
Xi Rong walked to the steps of the palace and waved to Yin Peng to bring Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan and Yao Xishui into the palace. She also signaled to Zhang Shimin and Anji Xiang, who had meritorious service in recruiting Zhao Mengji, to enter the palace.
The west wall of Lingyun Pavilion was replaced with glass windows with light green luster. At this time, the setting sun shone into the main hall, making the inside of the main hall look extremely bright.
Han Qian was wearing a scarlet python robe and sitting behind the imperial court. He was thirty-eight years old at this time, with a thick short mustache on his lips, and his resolute look revealed his magnanimity as the leader of a country.
Feng Liao, Han Daoming, Chen Jingzhou, Yun Puzi and others sat in two rows. They can all be said to be Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, Yao Xishui and others' old friends.
"Twenty spectacular years, a blink of an eye, Han Qian never thought that he would see Mrs. Lu, Mr. Zhou, Miss Yao at this time and place..." Han Qian put down the memorial he was reading and looked at Lu Qingxia.
Zhou Yuan had frosty hair on his temples, and Yao Xishui, whose appearance was at its peak for a while, could not help but have several fine crow's feet in the corners of his eyes. He said with emotion.
"Now that the matter has come to this, what else is there to say," Lu Qingxia tried his best to straighten his wrinkled clothes and look more decent, and said, "Since you still pay tribute to Chu Ting, especially now, you
If you continue to confuse Chu Ting, you just want to send us to Jinling for trial to show your weakness; with your status as the master today, there is no need to specifically ridicule the defeated generals like us, right?"
"Mrs. Lu is quite self-aware, but I am still vividly remembering every detail of twenty years ago. How could I be so willing to take you to Jinling for trial without reminiscing about old friendships?"
Han Qian smiled, stared at Lu Qingxia solemnly, and asked,
"The previous dynasty was overthrown for thirty-two years, and the world was torn apart. Countless living people were separated from their wives and their bodies were left in the wilderness. Mrs. Lu lurked in the palace for more than 20 years. She may not have seen how hungry the world was, but she was expelled
After leaving Jinling, the past six or seven years have been tossed around like a lost dog. How much do you still have the obsession to avenge your past and not hesitate to disrupt the world? "
"You have the power today, so you can naturally say whatever you want." Lu Qingxia said.
Han Qian looked at Zhou Yuan and Yao Xishui and saw that they both lowered their heads and turned a blind eye to him. He smiled and said: "It seems that you are really unrepentant. Then you will have to spend a few days in prison in my Daliang before leaving.
…”
Han Qian waved his hand, and Zhang Shimin escorted them directly to the Supervisory Mansion Prison to be imprisoned, and gave Anji Xiang a seat.
Anji Xiang and Chen Ruyi were both disciples brought out by Zhang Ping. Chen Ruyi was willing to be driven by Lu Qingxia, but was eventually killed because Lu Qingxia covered up the truth about the assassination. However, it can be said that he deserved it. Anji Xiang was coerced and escaped.
Jinling, and later they were expelled from Liangzhou together. Although they followed Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan and others to surrender to the Mongols, and still served as officials in Mengzhou, they could not help but drift with the tide.
In the past few years, Anxiang had not colluded with Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan and others in Mengzhou. Instead, he spent a day in Mengzhou bumping into monks and reciting bells. Maybe it was the way of the world that made him depressed, and he no longer wanted to
He was obsessed with fame and fortune, or in other words, he was still thinking of Zhang Ping and Emperor Yanyou Yang Yuanpu's kindness to him.
Han Qian asked about the situation in Mengzhou at this time, and also asked about his future plans and whether he would like to stay in Luoyang and serve as an official.
"I have been living in Mengzhou for the past few years, but I have met a few fair-weather friends. In my free time, I drink wine and read articles, and I can also pass the time. I sincerely ask your Majesty to allow Jixiang to stay in Mengzhou and spend the rest of his life." Anji Xiang requested.
"You are one year younger than me. It is too early to think about how to settle down the rest of your life now," Han Qian said with a smile. "You can go back to Mengzhou if you want. Officials are always sent there to take care of people's livelihood.
, let Feng Liao arrange a leisurely errand for you..."
"Thank you, sir." Anji Xiang saluted and then left.
Anji Xiang did not have a residence in Luoyang and had no intention of buying one there. Han Qian asked Yin Peng to arrange for him to live in Dutingyi first. When Feng Liao was free, Shi Si would arrange a suitable assignment and then ask Anji Xiang to return to Mengzhou.
