Du Guangyi is working in the tent.

In fact, he also likes this kind of wild life. When he is tired, he goes out to tents to walk around, practice swords, and loosens his muscles and bones.

Don’t think that he is a literati and does not know how to be a martial arts.

Like Meng Haoran, he studied and learned swords with his younger brother when he was a child. Since the Northern Dynasties, many literati can ride horses and shoot archers and dance swords. After all, the division between civil and military affairs is not obvious, and the social atmosphere is very martial, so it is really impossible to do without some martial arts.

Of course, their martial arts are at the level of amateurs. If you really want to fight, you have to undergo high-intensity training, but the basics are really good.

There is no shortage of daily necessities inside and outside the tent. With the light of King Xia, the supply is pretty good.

The newly-picked smokeless carbides from Xiuwu County were sent to the carbide. King Xia just ordered that the name of carbide "coal" was "coal". It seemed that there was no reason, it was his personal preference.

The fast horses in Mengzhou brought carp, and the fish and shrimps caught in Qinshui were also sent. Huaizhou sent cattle, sheep and mixed livestock. In addition, Xiuwu and Huojia counties, life was still very comfortable.

Heyang harvested this summer and autumn harvests totaled 400,000 hu of millet and wheat. In addition, the HeCO grain beans sent from Zhuanguan and the grain transported to Heqing by adventure ships, tens of thousands of troops stationed here, and they deserved it in a short time.

It’s just that King Xia has a big appetite!

He had just processed a document about immigration from Heyang.

Last month, Jingzhao Prefecture was recruiting people to Heyang again. The number of households that came in the name of the court was 10,000, and the first batch of more than 1,400 households had already been on the road.

In addition, when the summer harvest this year is effective and the autumn harvest is in effect, and the governor Song Le guarantees that the autumn sowing area will be larger, the King of Xia plans to continue to send 10,000 households in Huazhou to Heyang and deliver them in batches to further enrich Heyang's household registration.

Too much capital has been spent in Heyang!

Du Guangyi couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhu Quanzhong broke through the Yellow River defense line and entered Heyang.

Well, the Huaizhou camp did not seem to have any Yellow River defense line. They were light in front and heavy in the back, and the city guarding was slow in the front, and the cavalry was placed in the second line.

This matter! Du Guangyi put down his writing and saw that Lu Siye was not there, he was about to leave the bill for some breath, but unexpectedly he suddenly saw his sister.

"Brother." Du gave a salute.

"Why did the girl be born?" Du Guangyi asked in a low voice.

"The king is summoned." Du said, and then he whispered: "The governor of Puzhou Shao Lun was accepted as his adopted son by the king. He wanted to send one person to Puzhou. What is going on is really hard to say. Depending on the king's intention, he might want his brother to go."

Du Guangyi was stunned, what a guy, this job is not easy to do! And it seems that the king is already preparing for the next battle, and the target is Zhu Quanzhong.

"I understand." Du Guangyi took a deep breath, then asked in a very low voice: "After the girl becomes Shangyi, she often stays with the king, has she ever..."

Du shook his head, looking a little relaxed, fortunate, a little disappointed, unwilling, and seemed quite contradictory.

Du Guangyi sighed and left.

If there is a choice, my sister, who is so well-educated and talented, will of course be the hostess in a famous family, but now she obviously has no choice.

Du Guangyi soon arrived at Shao Shude's tent, and after the news was spread, he came in and sat down.

King Xia talked with Chen and Zhao, but he had no time for the time being.

After a while, his sister Du also walked in and stood in the corner.

Now the rules of King Xia are getting bigger and bigger.

When he was out for war, he was commanding the battle, and he was surrounded by Lu Siye and Du Guangyi, and everyone was used to this.

But now it is on a patrol, which is equivalent to the emperor living in the palace, and many things are taken over by the palace officials.

My sister, Du, followed King Xia all day long. King Xia liked to read books, and there were more than ten cabinets of books that followed the army, and they were all different, so they were very cold. They could not leave at ordinary times, so they could offer a few tables and paper and pens at any time.

The sister is also responsible for the furnishings and arrangements of the reception venues of King Xia. When there is a banquet, she will also send additional staff to the sister to praise and guide the guests, and be responsible for the banquet etiquette.

He is becoming more and more formal and more solemn. Compared with the grass-roots teams in other vassal states, he is indeed much smarter. Of course, the most important thing is that there are many talents familiar with such affairs in Chang'an, either in the palace or in the aristocratic families. This is the advantage of being close to the water.

"Luo Hongxin, Weizhou, cannot be devoted to Zhu Quanzhong." Shao Shude stroked the map and said, "Now Quanzhong has been defeated and has lost all the prefectures in Huainan. Luo Hongxin must have thought about it."

Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng obviously agreed with this view.

Yes, this year Zhu Quanzhong saved Luo Hongxin and helped him defeat Li Keyong's army. But do you think that with the nature of these warriors, they will be grateful and loyal to Zhu Quanzhong from now on? That may not be.

"What the Grand Marshal said is very true." Chen Cheng said: "Luo Hongxin sent an envoy to come, and was quite polite. According to what Pei Jijiu said, as long as the Grand Marshal does not attack Weizhou, Luo Hongxin is willing to give tens of thousands of gold and silk."

"I don't want his gold and silk. Let go of the way and let our army go to Yun, just Yan." Shao Shude said: "Li Keyong's first battle was to win, right? He captured and killed more than 10,000 Wei Bo's troops. How could these killing talents be able to fight? He was afraid in his heart, so scared them first."

Yang Shihou stationed troops in Weizhou in the year when Zhu Quanzhong died (912). He then colluded with Wei Bo's generals to expel the Jiedushi Luo Zhouhan, and stole Wei Bo's power. He suddenly changed from less than 10,000 soldiers to a large warlord with more than 50,000 troops. He then selected soldiers from all six states, and obtained eight thousand brave men, so he built a silver spear to follow the Jie army.

More than ten years ago, Wei Bo was not tortured enough at this time. Shao Shude judged that their combat effectiveness had not improved yet. Li Keyong's recent victory over Wei Bo is the best proof.

Of course, if the judgment is wrong, it will be more troublesome.

Zhao Guangfeng frowned and pondered, and said at this time: "Master, this matter needs to be taken seriously. According to Shao Lun, Quanzhong has sent envoys to win over the Tianping Army. If it fails to win over, will he meet in the next step?"

Shao Shude tapped the table with his fingers and said after a long time, "I will write a letter to Shao Lun, and he is the first adopted son I have ever accepted."

Du stepped forward and handed over paper and pen.

Shao Shude waved and said, Pei stepped forward and handed over the seal. After stamping the seal, he took it back and marked the seal with the red book on a booklet.

"Do you dare to go to Puzhou?" Shao Shude's eyes passed by Chen and Zhao, looking at Du Guangyi who was waiting behind.

After saying this, Du Guangyi had no room for rejection. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Abide by the order of the king."

"Okay! I like those who are brave enough to serve." Shao Shude smiled and said, "In the past, Wei was envoyed to Yan, Yun, Xu, and Qing, and made great contributions. Now he is the Prime Minister. If Dalang can live up to his mission and stabilize the position of Puzhou and prefectures for me, it is no problem, and the position of Prime Minister will be far away."

Du Guangyi was a little overwhelmed by these words.

If you are the minister, that is the governor! The most famous position nowadays, even if it is just a subordinate vassal governor with limited power, is very attractive.

...

After lunch, Shao Shude continued to study the map.

Gao Renhou has left Huaizhou and went to the front line in person.

Meng and Huaizhou have now trained 3,000 soldiers in the states, so Gao Renhou brought Fu Cunshen's Guide army to Wude.

The Yumen Army and the foreign troops in Guanbei were also sent south by Shao Shude.

The Guide army was 8,000, the Yumen army was 5,000, and the Baoyi army had 5,000 soldiers from Jiebin, plus the Tutuan village men recruited, with a total of 30,000 to 40,000 troops, and they were all striving to siege Banzhu City.

The soldiers of Guanbei sent 4,000 cavalry to be arranged on the second line, ready to attack the enemy troops that could be reinforced at any time.

Shao Shude still had 37,800 squadrons and cavalry around him. If Zhu Quanzhong didn't want Banzhu City to be a mistake and was willing to increase his position, he wouldn't mind following him.

After reading for half an hour, Shao Shude asked Du to put away the picture books and texts.

In fact, I am familiar with everything, so there is no need to look at it again. Before the large-scale military operation against Zhu Quanzhong was launched, the removal of the Liang people's stronghold in Hebei was a "warm-up exercise". Guanghe Town has been put down. If Banzhu City is further attacked, the next step is to attack Zhongli City in Heyang.

This city is difficult to fight, but it doesn’t matter, it depends on how much you are willing to pay.

After leaving the tent, I went to the princess's place to take a look. Very good, the children were being punished very badly and were learning knowledge in pain.

Shao Shude slipped away, called Li Zhong, and drove to Xiuwu County and the township with his personal soldiers.

Some injured and retired soldiers of the Wuwei Army were placed in Xiuwu County. According to the old rules, they held grassroots miscellaneous positions such as Li Zheng.

"Liu Sanhu?" When Shao Shude saw the village chief coming to greet him, he was a little surprised, and then felt very regretful.

Liu Sanhu, deputy general of the Wuwei Army, was a god-like man who forced Shao Shude to reward Mei Ji twice.

Looking at his left elbow that was broken with all his roots, Shao Shude was speechless, not knowing what to say.

The general was inevitably killed in front of the battlefield. Liu Sanhu was so brave in the war and was just as desperate as he wanted to be honest. To be honest, it would be better to have the ending of his life and to retire and enjoy wealth, but it was still a pity.

"Master" Liu Sanhuo smiled and said, "Actually nothing is there, at least you are alive."

"When you all leave, who else can fight for me?" Shao Shude patted Liu Sanhu on the shoulder.

"Master, our old men in Dingnan Army are all brave enough to fight." Liu Sanhuo was also a little sad when he heard this, and said, "Outsiders can't believe it!"

"Yes, outsiders can't believe it." Shao Shude sighed and asked, "Have all the family here?"

"We have moved here." Liu Sanhu pointed to a newly built house in the distance and said, "One wife and one concubine, and four children are all here."

"Is that a brick house?" Shao Shude glanced and said, "You can live in such a big brick house to comfort me."

It was a brick house with two entrances in front and back. Willow trees were planted in front of the door, facing the main road. There was a small river ditch across the road, and there was a large area of ​​farmland on the other side of the river.

The fields have been harvested, and there are bare and large groups of birds hovering above, falling from time to time, pecking at the grains left in the fields.

Shao Shude signaled that Shang Gong Xiao knew about it and asked the female Shi to bring out some silk and said, "The township chief is always brave and has a special effect. Now I will reward you with great honors and sincere rewards."

"Thank you for the reward of Grandmaster." Liu Sanhu didn't dare to look at the bright palace officials behind Shao Shude, and bowed his head to thank him.

The village assistant saw that Liu Sanhu was inconvenient, so he immediately stepped forward and took the silk for him.

"Let's go and take a look in the countryside." Shao Shude stepped forward and patrolled the "young land" under his rule.

Four palace officials and female history of Xiao, Pei, Du, and Wei followed closely behind, with a large group of personal soldiers guarding the left and right.

"Master, after the forest was cleared out, I asked someone to level it. Whenever I have free time, I asked someone to gather it up to practice martial arts and practice formations." Liu Sanhu said, pointing to a flat area not far away.

Shao Shude looked at it. There was a forest there, with many towering trees, and an open space by the forest, with butts standing upright, straw men and mud trampling firmly. Obviously, many people gathered here to practice, and this was the country schoolyard.

There are houses after houses next to the road, which seem to have not been long since they are newly built. The branches and thin mud walls are not large in size. There is also a simple livestock shed beside them. The livestock are tied to one side, and the manure like a hill is piled on the other side.

Some people also use thick adobe to get the house. The dirty children hid behind the house and looked carefully at this side. Wild flowers bloomed in the corners of the wall, swaying in the wind.

A peasant woman was sitting in the yard, sewing clothes. When she saw a large group of martial artists passing by, she was so scared that she hid back.

She walked in a hurry and accidentally knocked down a round plaque, and mung beans sprinkled all over the floor. Several birds fell down quickly and lowered their heads to peck at the food. The peasant woman hid behind the crack in the door and looked at the flat-haired beast who stole her beans with heartache, but she didn't dare to come out.
