On July 11, the third year of Ganning, Shao Shude returned to Longchi Palace in Anyi.

The Tielin Army had just returned from Ruzhou to Anyi. With an order, he set off and protected Shao Shude and his wives, concubines and children. The officials of the shogunate royal palace traveled west and arrived at Hezhong Prefecture within a few days.

Before leaving, he appointed Cai Songyang, the envoy of Tiande Army, as the remaining guard of Anyi, the envoy of Wuxing Army, and the envoy of Guzhen Army, Wei Dingli, deputy commander. There were more than 20,000 people guarding Jinjiang, as well as soldiers from prefectures and counties, and Tutuan Township men could recruit them. As long as Li Keyong did not fight for the entire army, there would be no big problem.

There were still ten thousand people from Wang Yao in Hezhong Prefecture. After he returned, he recruited another 3,000 troops to make up for the complete loss of the battle.

The Hezhong Yajun Army maintained the scale of 20,000 infantry and cavalry, which was acquiesced by Shao Shude. Wang Yao was quite honest, and the number of people had always been above 20,000.

The Hezhong Yajun Army is actually very complicated.

Wang Yao brought thousands of foreign town troops, prefectures, county soldiers and Tutuan Township men from Jiangzhou, and then controlled the Hezhong Yamen Army with these people as the core. During the great purge that year, a large number of officers representing the local interests of Hezhong Prefecture were beheaded, and the riots and their families were exiled. Wang Yao himself was also constantly cultivating his party members and sent stings to fight in the war, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to break out and let the Xia soldiers help suppress them.

Over the past few years, the Hezhong Yajun army's pot of raw rice had made him well-organized. The soldiers' dissatisfaction was still there, but they had shifted to the repeated expeditions. However, the dissatisfaction was still within the safe range, and Wang Yao thought he could still suppress it.

The only regret is probably the rise of Yu Hou Fengzangzhi, the horse-budu, Hezhong.

This person was originally just a middle-level military academy. He quickly became famous with Shao Shude on his back. He had thousands of soldiers who obeyed his orders. He was already the second or third person in the Hezhong Yajun Army.

But this person could not move, and Wang Yao could only pinch his nose and acknowledge his existence, which was very helpless.

"I have suffered my nephew in recent years." Shao Shude said to Wang Yao, who came to pay a visit in Xinyi store more than 30 miles north of Hedong County: "The situation in Hezhong Mansion is complicated. If you can stabilize the situation, you are still talented. I am very pleased."

"My uncle won consecutive battles and has the potential to swallow the world. My nephew is pleased and only wishes to continue fighting for his uncle. After peace in the world, he will enjoy wealth and honor." Wang Yao smiled and said.

"Why should my nephew do this?" Shao Shude laughed and said, "Can you forget your contributions? Keep the river well. If the local officials have different ambitions, don't doubt it. I will support you."

"If you have your uncle's words, your nephew will be relieved." Wang Yao said.

There are indeed many dissatisfied people in Hezhong Prefecture, Ci and Xi Prefectures. The main reason is that they repeatedly tug-of-war between the Guan Road of Wangwu, Meng Huai, Gu Road and Liang people. The Hezhong Yajun army went into battle many times, and Tutuan Township Fu was repeatedly entrusted. The money and grain from the prefectures and county treasury were even scattered like flowing water, which made Shao Shude's series of victories in Heyang, and the cost was that the people of one prefecture and two prefectures in Hezhong became poor at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the huge casualties in personnel.

As a Jieshou, Wang Yao has not protected the interests of the local military and civilians well, and it is definitely unpopular. He can still hold a firm position now, mainly because he has won over the elderly in Jiangzhou, and in addition, he is pulling the Xia army's tiger skin, no one dares to rebel.

He knew his situation very well, and Shao Shude also knew his position, which was the basis of trust between both sides.

In Xinyi shop, officials arranged houses and tents and started working step by step.

More tents have been set up on the grass outside the store.

The princess took a group of concubines and children to go out for a walk, and the female officials accompanied her, which made another "superior tour".

Since the Northern Dynasties, the emperors went out every day, taking their concubines, children, civil and military officials, wandering around, and everyone has long been used to it.

Wang Yao was invited to stay for dinner. The next day, at Shao Shude's request, his son Wang Xi rushed over and served as the Tongzan official.

The position of Tongzanguan is not a palace official, but a foreign official. It can be understood as a general publication and a presidency. The official who presides over the ceremony is usually appointed by the emperor. But what is outrageous is that this position exists in Bianzhou, and Kou Yanqing has done it. You say that you are a military governor of the vassal state and a general publication, others either ask the staff to do it or be the head of the personal soldiers. What do you mean by making a Tongzanguanguanguan? Zhu Quanzhong has long been unsubmitted!

After leaving Xinyidian, he headed north and crossed the Fen River on July 21st and arrived in Longmen County, Jiangzhou.

Shao Shude stood on the bank of Fen River and remembered the battlefield several years ago.

Advancing to the river was an important step for him to gain strategic advantage over Zhu Quanzhong. Based on the river, he continued to go east and repeatedly tug-of-war, and the blood of the foreigners almost dyed Wangwu Mountain red. He finally broke into Heyang, defended and counterattacked in the Battle of Heqing, defeated Pang Shigu, and concealed most of the two states of Meng and Huaizhou.

Every step is not easy. Starting a business in a long battle is difficult!

But it's all worth it.

Look at the tiger and wolf men who obeyed his orders, look at the picturesque beautiful country, and look at the beautiful wives and relatives around him. Everything is worth it.

The army stayed in Longmen County for several days. Shao Shude invited officials from Ci and Xi to Fulongyuan to hunt, deepening their feelings.

This is also the main reason why he did not cross the river from Pujin Pass Floating Bridge, but instead detoured northward.

If Li Keyong turns against him, the road conditions in the mountains of Ci and Xi are complex, narrow and rugged. When a large group of people passes, the team will be long and the passage efficiency is very low, and it is easy to be ambushed and intercepted into several segments. Therefore, these two states must be held in their hands to block a direction that may be attacked and squeeze the enemy's offensive into Zelu.

Fulong was originally a place where Emperor Gaozu met with hunting, and there was always a royal garden. The sages of the state often came here to hunt, and by the way, they also visited the local people's conditions and declared their authority.

The longer he lived in the Tang Dynasty, the more Shao Shude felt that the atmosphere was very different from the Song Dynasty and the past dynasties after the Song Dynasty. Emperor Guang went out to travel far from time to time, hunted and inspected places, and the frequency was very high. It seemed that not many officials came forward and said that this cost too much, and it seemed that everyone was used to it.

The officials of Ci and Xi states also knew very well who was the actual ruler of the river, and they were all quite enthusiastic.

Shao Shude and they cooked the wild boars they hunted, and picked more than ten more charitable officials and officials, bravely joined the Tielin Army, and were all happy with the ability to be appointed as officials.

In fact, this may be the meaning of inspecting all directions. Let everyone know who the real boss is, and while deepening the impression, absorb some fresh blood and form a closer interest consortium.

The benefits of the world cannot be eaten by the emperor alone. You must know how to share in time, and everyone will carry the flower sedan chair.

After the hunting meeting, the army marched north into Xizhou, and the journey was vast and stretched for ten miles. When I heard about it from afar, I asked inquiries one after another. For a time, King Xia became famous in the counties of Xizhou.

On the 28th, he crossed the river in batches west of Yonghe County to Yanchuan County, Yanzhou.

...

In Yulin County, Shengzhou, a large group of soldiers were also crossing the river.

The flags fluttered high, and the solemn expression of the soldiers left the ferry and spread out in an array to meet the subsequent brigade crossing the river.

Even if you march in the inside, everything is still orderly and busy without being messy.

New recruits cannot do these. These soldiers are obviously not new soldiers.

Outside the Yulin Palace separated by a river, Shao Siwu was stopped.

The guards' personal army, Helian Jun, looked serious and could not pour water in. No matter what Shao Siwu said, he would not let him go to Yulin Palace to rest.

Fu Yanchao gently pulled his sleeves, and Shao Siwu woke up and immediately bowed and claimed the crime: "Helian Qianhu is loyal to his duties, I admire him very much. Today is rude, I hope he can forgive me."

Helian Jun returned the gift and said firmly: "Where is the responsibility."

Shao Siwu smiled and left.

He had already tried it. He could live in Yulin Palace before, but his father brought his family in there, and there was no problem. But now he is alone, obviously it won’t work.

Shengzhou has two palaces, Yulin and Woyang, both of which are herding places for the father’s private parts. They work hard in their busy days, train in their spare time, and go on wartime battles. Each of their families has a large amount of land, cattle and sheep, and they are rewarded with a lot of armor and equipment. Their equipment is not inferior to that of regular yamen.

Of course nothing is true.

The most special thing is that they only obey the orders of their father and don’t even sell their son’s accounts, and cannot make friends with prefectures and county officials for no reason. Those who cannot do this may have been dealt with, which is something imaginable.

It is said that the person who comes into contact with them the most is Yang, who seems to be his father's trusted confidant.

Under the escort of five hundred personal soldiers, Shao Siwu quickly crossed the Yellow River.

The Heihu Army was a horse-riding infantryman with a total army of 10,000 people and more than 20,000 horses. People were good at using spears and bows, and looked extremely powerful and quite arduous.

Shao Siwu knew that more than 3,000 prisoners of the Zhi army were almost all incorporated, and there were also elites selected from the Liang people and nearly 20,000 prisoners of Huai people, as well as the brave men in Guanbei, and the Lingzhou Academy with excellent training results.

After several months of training, such a unit not only learned to ride a horse, but more importantly, it was thick and thick. In time, their combat effectiveness would improve little by little until they became a strong army. To be honest, if the Black Army had not been formed for a short time and had been broken up and reorganized between each other, and was not particularly familiar with each other, it would have been a strong army.

Shao Siwu recalled what his father did, subconsciously wanted to do something, but eventually gave up.

He didn't know that his father would not encourage him to do so. Although he was only thirteen years old, he also knew that it was wrong to invite the army privately and was challenging his father's authority. He didn't want to disappoint his father, as that would be of no benefit.

"Let's go to Yunzhong County." Shao Siwu grabbed the horse's belly, and the maroon-red war horse was as fast as lightning, and he went straight forward.

The soldiers rumbled and followed.

Fu Yanchao looked around and savored the grand scenery of the grassland.

His half of his childhood was actually spent in Lingzhou. He had long been accustomed to the scenery of the sunset in the long river and the lonely smoke in the desert, and the pleasure of riding a horse on the endless grassland. In the Central Plains, there was always no way to go far, either a small river, a forest, or a ridge of fields. It was very unpleasant for the cavalry and his mobility was greatly restricted.

This is true in Henan. When it comes to Huainan and Jiangnan, won’t it be that even a horse can’t run?

It’s still a pleasure to the grassland, and you’re galloping all the way with your eyes closed, without worrying about any obstacles.

The city gate of Yunzhong County (formerly Dongshoucheng) is already in sight.

The flag of the Black Army envoy Xia Sanmu was raised on the top of the city, and he had arrived early with his men.

After verbally checking, everyone was quickly put in.
