Chapter 6 Talents and Northern Expedition

"Did Zhao Jian write to you?" Shao Shude pulled his hand out of the jade pendant and said angrily: "Is Zhu Mei not dealing with him? Or what's wrong?"

Zhao Yu's face turned red, tidied up the collar and said, "Since my uncle has become a general in Tongsai Town, he is the former position of Zhu Mei, and he is quite trustworthy. He wrote to his concubine, hoping that the two families would go around more and communicate more."

"Well, it's time to walk around. In the future, Yu Niang will take his nephew to visit her from her nephew." Shao Shude said shamelessly, and as he spoke, his hand stroked his favorite buttocks again.

Zhao Yushuo let him raged for a while, then he stood up with a blushing face and said, "King, Zhu Mei is so ambitious. Uncle Cong is also careful under his command. It is better to let him go to Xiazhou as a general."

Seeing that she said this, Shao Shude mustered up the courage to say this, and said, "It depends on General Zhao's meaning. Being an army envoy in Bining is a foreign town, which shows that Zhu Mei also trusts him, and he may not be willing."

Finally, seeing that Zhao Yu was a little disappointed, he said, "Of course, if General Zhao is willing, of course, welcome."

Zhao Yu's mother died early and her father died in Taiyuan Prefecture. In Xiazhou, there were indeed no relatives. He originally considered marrying his adopted daughter Shao Guoer to the grandson of the governor Yang Yue, but now he thought about it and put it aside. He still felt a little guilty towards his first woman and did not want to be disappointed in seeing her.

There are other ways to win over Yang Yue.

"Yu Niang, have you taught you how to keep your accounts?"

“Sure.”

"This is the instrument account book submitted by the shogunate Judge Zhang. You can re-list the table according to the warehouse location, equipment classification, and geometry. This old account is messy, and you look at the headache." Shao Shude ordered.

Zhao Yu nodded and copied it directly in front of the desk.

I lack a secretary, so I can only let my wives and concubines do it for me. Fortunately, I am all educated and smart, so it is not difficult to learn some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I can read it more clearly in my opinion.

The account book presented by the shogunate assistant was really unaccustomed to it. And he had to make a separate account. If he didn't meet it in the future, he would be a warrior, but he would kill people.

The military farm and tax account are currently in the record. Xiao Feng also had a task, but she was erect and was inconvenient. As for her wife, she couldn't quite understand these things, but she could ride horses and shoot arrows. This skill, uh, seems to be less useful to her than Xiao Feng's sword dance.

Why is Xiazhou so short of cultural people? In other vassal states, they often get Jinshi as staff. If you look at your shogunate, you will see that your average education is obviously low!

However, a while ago, the Feng family in Hezhong was a famous family, originated from Bohai County. In the early days of the State Dynasty, Feng Deyi also became a relative of Li Yuan. The grandfather of the Feng sisters, Feng Ao Li Shitai Pavilion, was named Bohai County Male. There were several Jinshis in the family, at least their fathers were both Jinshis and are currently officials in foreign towns.

A while ago, I contacted several of their brothers. After Huang Chao entered Chang'an, he ran away to Fengxiang Mansion and returned to the capital. He seems to be waiting for the emperor to come back. Damn, why don't he come to surrender to me? Now the chief secretary of the shogunate, marching Sima and other people, and a bunch of old men who serve several great commanders. I urgently need a blood change.

There is also Zhao Yu's uncle Zhao Guangfeng, who is now unknown, and may have gone to Shuzhong. If he was willing to come, the deputy envoy and the chief secretary would have chosen casually? These shogunate officials have no rank but have real power, and have always been the first choice for those talented people with high education who think that the salary of Beijing officials is low.

Don’t say that you are nepotist, you can survive first!

I am alone and in this chaotic world where moral bottom line has been repeatedly broken through and there is no relative to rely on, so I can only use my wife. Outsiders can't believe it at all, and they are suspicious of each other and lack a sense of security. How can I do things? This is not a normal era!

The wife who joined the army was a little worried, but it didn't matter if she helped her manage government affairs. She was awarded the title of Prince and had a good reputation in Guanzhong, which attracted some scattered scholars to serve. A branch of the Song family in Xihe also moved to Xiazhou with her family, but the talent was still serious.

The Feng family of Hezhong and Zhao family of Tianshui can only be considered a middle-class family in the national dynasty, but if they can invest or even rely on themselves, they will not be able to welcome them?

This foundation cannot be maintained by leading an army of 20,000 to fight and kill.

After lunch, Shao Shude went to the Feng sisters to have a conversation. After taking a nap, he went to the office of the yamen hall. Just as he wrote down his opinions on a document with a brush, Li Hang, a Sima of Xiazhou, ran over.

"King, I'm back on an envoy." Li Hang's current official is Sima of Xiazhou, and his delegation is a member of the shogunate and is responsible for all parties to go on missions. This time he has just returned from Zhenwu Military City.

"Thank you for your hard work in Sima Li." Shao Shude stood up and greeted: "What did Hao Zhenwei and Qi Zizhang say?"

"Qi Zizhang is willing to swear an alliance with the king to fight against Li Keyong together." Li Hang said: "Hao Zhenwei did not express much, but only said he would use salt to exchange grain for Xiazhou."

Shao Shude nodded. Li Keyong is really popular and has many enemies. Including but not limited to Li Keju of Youzhou, Helianduo of Datong, Qi Zizhang of Zhenwu Army, Hao Zhenwei of Tiande Army, etc., all of which have fought with him in recent years. Regarding Li Keyong, Shao Shude's opinion is to be on guard. He doesn't care what he does in Hedong, but he cannot extend his power to the Hetao area, as that will make him suffer from both sides and passive at the strategic level.

Therefore, it is normal to form an alliance with his enemy. Datong Helianduo was too far away and could not reach it. However, the Zhenwu Army and the Tiande Army were close at hand, so he still wanted to protect it. The Dingnan Army, the Zhenwu Army and the Tiande Army had a total of 30,000 to 40,000 troops, and Qibizhang had a tribe, and could also conscript the limit. It would be no problem to collect 50,000 troops from three parties. Strictly speaking, it was not worse than Li Keyong.

It was expected that Qi Zizhang was willing to form an alliance. After all, when he was fighting against Huang Chao, he also followed the imperial orders to stab Li Keyong with Hao Zhenwei, Helianduo, and Li Keju. In addition, the old grievances during the Qianfu period were basically difficult to unravel. Li Keyong's mind was not very open!

But what happened to Hao Zhenwei? Fengzhou alone can compete with Li Keyong? Hedong is a prefecture and seven states. If the three parties are not closely united, how can they fight with them? I will definitely regret it in the future.

"Thank you for your hard work in Sima Li, go home and rest for a while, and don't have to go to Cao Si. Next year, I will help someone to go to Fufang, Danyan and Hezhong. Well, you can go to Dangxiang, Nanshan on the way, and I want to test the attitude of Li Shi Shi, the Shi Ye." Shao Shude said.

The Dangxiang of the Nanshan Mountain is located south of Suizhou and north of Yanzhou. The Yeli tribe is the largest tribe in the local area and has the most influential one. If possible, he has to fight with him to make him not stand on the side of the Tuoba clan. In this way, he can attack and kill the Tuoba tribe with all his strength, so that there will be no changes in the rear.

After Li Hang left, Shao Shude reviewed the documents again, and then went to the city barracks and inspected the department.

Time passed day by day, and the four years of Zhonghe arrived soon. Huang Chao was still wandering around in the Central Plains. Western Shu, the saints were still lingering.

After spending the first month with his family, Shao Shude was in the military camp throughout the second and March. The Tielin Army and the Yamen Army took turns to work, and the soldiers gradually put away their laziness. They were originally professional warriors, with enough food and rewards and regular practices, which should reflect superior combat ability and mental outlook.

I don’t know how many herdsmen on the grassland usually grazed and had a miscellaneous job. How many days did they have to train in the end of the year? The truly powerful nomadic army has always been full-time, at least semi-time, and others worship cattle and sheep. Only in this way can they practice their skills and cultivate discipline.

On the first day of April, the army's divination: Out of power!

On the fifth day of the lunar month, Pei Shang brought dozens of personal soldiers to him. He would serve as Shao Shude's consultant and praise paintings along the way.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the guide sent by the Zhe family also arrived. They will help the army find water sources in the grassland, supply cattle and sheep, and lead the way to attack the Tuoba family's party tribe.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, Shao Shude personally ordered 7,500 Tielin Army and 2,500 Zhou Rong's troops on the left wing of the Yamen Army. The army carried more than a month of food and grass and marched northward.

Looking back at the tall and steep Baicheng, Shao Shude felt a lot of emotion. In early February, Xiaofeng gave birth to a daughter for himself and had children. According to the doctor, Zhao Yu was already pregnant, which was a great event.

In the past year, more than 300 families of soldiers have moved to Xiazhou. The town is peaceful and all industries are developing step by step. If you return with great victory, your foundation will be more stable and will be further improved.
