Most of the Zhu Tufeng brave men from the Fifth Battalion came from Liewei County, Guanzhong, and were used to the fertile fields of thousands of miles. Every year at the turn of spring and summer, the wild peach blossoms blooming on the mountains are bright and bright. The willows on the Jingwei River are graceful and the shreds are everywhere in the sky.

Since entering the north, the familiar scenery disappeared. They thought that the days of marching in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau for about twenty days were monotonous enough. But it was not until they were trekking in the north of Anding County that everyone realized that the danger ahead was far from over.

Sometimes it was yellow sand and wild grass, and the vast land was endless. Sometimes it was a huge mountain trench that hindered it, and it took a few days to get out. This land reached the Gobi Desert, and it was a full 200 miles, with no inhabitants or trees, and there were very few water and plants. The terrain was so barren that the army could only rely on the food it carried to fill its hunger, and it was even difficult for even drinking horses.

"Sure enough, the army Sima and Xuanzhubo are lying to us."

Someone muttered in a low voice, and won the recognition of many people. What about the rich people? What about Guanzhong? It has been two months since I went there, and I picked up more than a dozen bubbles on my feet. Where is the agreed fertile place?

The soldiers entangled by heat and thirst even had hallucinations. They saw a clear river flowing northward wider than Jingwei, and saw the end of the bronze mountains that gradually faded away. The banks of the river were green, forests and grasslands were everywhere, and there were many water swaying in them.

It was not until they stepped on the thick grass carpet and saw good horses, strong cows, fat sheep grazing nearby, and even lowered their heads and picked up a handful of smelly and hot cow dung and pasted them on their robes that they were sure that this was true.

It turns out that the end of the desperate situation is really a rich place!

There is a layer of fertile black soil on the loess, and two parallel ditches divert water from the Yellow River. Countless acres of fertile land were opened next to the canal. The city walls in the distance were very quiet, which looked like the hometown.

The brave men of Zhu Tufeng were happy and said, "Sure enough, Sima did not deceive us. This is really a 'bush to Guanzhong'."

The only drawback is that when the local people see the army transit, they scatter like ghosts - is your attitude of welcoming the royal army?

Occasionally, one or two farmers who fell and sprained their feet because they ran too quickly? They were also afraid to die? Zhang Yu went over to comfort a white-haired farmer: "Don't be afraid, elders, are we not robbers? We are not Huns. We are the official army? The royal army is here!"

The honest local farmer shivered even more and muttered: "I'm afraid of the king!"

Wu Lun asked him with a smile: "Why are you afraid?"

The old farmer stopped talking? It was not until the seventh Biao was frightened and frightened that he stuttered: "Don't you talk about the bandits? The Huns will rob at most and leave for a while? It's like the wind blowing."

"What I fear most is the official army, and I will not leave after garrison. A few days ago, a large number of soldiers passed by and openly looted them? I killed people without paying money and food? In the end, many Ding Zhuang were captured."

He immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at the fifth reunion, for fear that the young officer would cut him down in anger.

"This is another good thing Xingjun did."

Wu Lun asked a few more questions, and when he learned that this was true, he asked Xuan Biao, who was alive, to correct the old farmer and let him go.

"Sima Xingjun? Dong Xi from Maoling is a member of the Dong Zhong clan of the Grand Sima."

"And after I pretended to fall off my horse and refuse? I asked for my orders and followed Xingjun to follow the Xingjun? "Huaili native, Ruchen'."

"The two of them are so bloody and debt-filled all the way!"

The fifth reunion cannot forget the body of Ding Zhuang who was discarded by the North Tower? And the women who were humiliated and tortured by Xingjun? Those eyes that were so wide open that they questioned the sky.

And the pigs under their command are still excited? They heard that Xianzhe wanted to be assigned to various counties to raise grain, and they all hoped to stay in the local area. This is Tewu County (now Wuzhong, Ningxia, Lingwu), which was called "Fuping County" before being renamed by Wang Mang. Just by hearing the name, you will know that it is not bad.

Xuan Biao also said: "Tewu County has fertile land and convenient ditches, and the Yellow River as a barrier to stay away from the Huns. It's really a great place. Military Sima, it would be great if we could stay here."

The fifth reun nodded. He had learned about the history of this place. As early as the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian rushed the Huns to the north, he would cultivate the land here and build the "Qin Canal".

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, this place was trapped under the horse's hooves of the Huns, until Emperor Wu of Han sent a guard, Huo recaptured, established a county to garrison troops, and migrated a large number of people from Guanzhong, cultivated land and built a "Han Canal".

Under the irrigation of two canals, Fuping became the richest county in the north, with a population of as many as 40,000, accounting for one fifth of the northern population. At one time, the crowns and caps were opposite to Guanzhong, and the prosperity was comparable to Guanzhong. In addition, many of the people had a Qin accent, so it was called "New Qinzhong". Everyone from Liewei County could even communicate with locals without barriers.

As for the other three counties west of the Yellow River, it is a little worse, and Han Wei, the Marquis of Tunhu, would lead a large army to station there, which would be inconvenient for trouble.

And the most important reason is... According to Ma Yuan's letter, he and Wan Xiu fell into trouble here!

Wu Lun said, "Xianzhu also has five battalions. It is not certain whether we can get this."

But I felt a little clear in my heart, but it was just because the fifth reunion had already greeted Liang Qiuci, which gave this greedy officer countless benefits, such as giving his family free coal balls in the next five years, and helping Liang Qiuci paint cement in Duling's manor.

When they arrived at the camp of General Tunhu within Qinqu, the army had arrived for a few days. The fifth reunion and the Tumen Shao were only one day after the next, and there was no loss of time.

After they entered the camp and reported to each other, General Han Wei, the Hound of Hu, also began to assign tasks to the next divisions - in fact, they were divided into territories.

All the main soldiers followed him across the river and went west to the Shanghe Nong Duwei and several obstacles to station in preparation for the attack on the Huns in the autumn.

The auxiliary soldiers and soldiers were stationed in various counties in the east and west of the Yellow River, responsible for pursuing and suppressing small groups of bandits, and at the same time raising food and strengthening men and replenishing the army.

Among them, Tewu County has become the focus of attention because it is the largest population and richest.

Han Wei's eyes swept across several soldiers under Liang Qiuci's command, and even stopped for a short time on the fifth reunion, but shook his head and said intimately: "Although Liang Qiuci strongly recommends the fifth reunion, he said that he is good at commanding troops and has the best military discipline... But what's the use of good military discipline? Can he get enough food? This woman is kind to do things too lazy and cannot be entrusted with important tasks."

General Tunhu looked at the worst military discipline, but he had previously voluntarily asked for an order to follow the Xingjun and distributed the wooden tiger talisman: "Ru Sima, Nansi Township, Tewu County, you will station troops!"

...

"Thanks to Dong Sima Meiyan, the villain can get such a fat man!"

After the military discussion ended, Ruchen, a native of Huaili, thanked Dong Xi, who had helped him a lot.

"It's not just me who advises you Sima."

Dong Xi took the silver cup offered by Ruchen without hesitation and said with a smile: "General Tunhu is determined to attack Hu, and hopes that there will be an enterprising lieutenant under his command and Sima will help him."

Speaking of this, they felt that the fifth reunion was too stupid. They clearly held a good hand: the emperor was attracted by the emperor, the title of the city, the reputation of learning military tactics, the name of Xiaoyi, the sixth magistrate, and the appreciation and help from Liang Qiu.

But what happened? Because the fifth reunion did not actively respond to General Hu's general, he put his chicken head on his back and insisted on being a cow, which made Han Wei unhappy.

When the people were obstructed in the north, the fifth reunion did not cut the mess quickly, and killed dozens of people with the slaughtering sects to shock the county and instead moved the trouble upwards, which made Han Wei even more disgusted.

"Although my family, fame, and title are not as good as my fifth relationship, I am diligent."

When Ruchen remembered the hardships he had been working on the way, he sighed. For two months, in order to let his useless pigs and brave men carry food and push carriages, keeping up with Xingjun's pace of 50 miles a day, he was exhausted to death.

The pigs and brave men were hungry and hungry. They had to give all the food to feed the soldiers under Dong Zhong and serve Dong Sima comfortably before he could help him.

When there were too many deaths and insufficient staff, they urgently arrested Ding at the base, and finally rushed to Tewu with Xingjun.

In addition, we must cooperate with Dong Xi Sima's soldiers to rob grain and torture the money of the Zhongren family. Otherwise, why everyone rushed to build a military service? Isn't it that the officers were asked to make money in order to make a small fortune along the way, and the soldiers were venting their morale soaring?

In this way, your minister can seize the opportunity to turn over and make the fifth reunion look dirty.

Now we have obtained the most prosperous southern townships in Tewu County, surrounded by Qinqu and Hanqu, with 40,000 people in the county, and 30,000 people concentrated here. In Ruchen's eyes, they are like crops after autumn. They can use the flag of General Hu to perform their skills to satisfy the army's search for food and make up for the cost of this expedition.

Dong Xi reminded Ruchen: "But don't be too careless, you Sima should not be too careless. You should add the soldiers immediately and train them. I heard that there were hundreds of bandits in the upper reaches of Kushui River in the south of the county."

When he returned to the camp, Ruchen met the fifth reunion on the road and bowed to him with a smile.

Wu Lun looked as usual, smiled and returned the greeting to your minister, and congratulated him: "Sima, in the future, you will be a friendly army in the south of the county and the north of the county, and you will also have to help each other."

Ruchen agreed and waited for the fifth reunion to leave but sneered: "Mutual help? Dream! Hiding behind dirty and tired work, and rushing to occupy the fat land when you encounter it. How can such good things be in this world?"

"This time, the fifth replies miscalculated. He thought that he could lean over to pick up the fruit by pleasing Captain Liangqiu. Unexpectedly, I picked up the fruit. Only a sheep dung ball was left in his hands!"

...

"North of Tewu County?"

When he returned to the camp, Di Seventh Biao was immediately disappointed when he heard about Di Fifth Reun’s station.

"I have inquired about this Tewu County is divided into two by Kushui River. The essence and wealth and household cities are concentrated in the south of the county. Although the north of the county is vast, it is close to the mountains and Gobi, mostly grasslands and no ditches."

“It’s okay.”

Wu Lun turned to Xuan Biao: "Is there any clue to what you asked for inquiries?"

Xuan Biao reported: "I secretly asked a few people in the fields and said that there was indeed a 'thief' coming from the upper reaches of Tewu County. They went out every few days, but most of them were to rob the rich and help the poor, and they did not offend the people."

Wu Lun nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Di Qi Biao was still mumbling, he felt that Di Wu Lun shouldn't have turned down the opportunity to show his performance with Xingjun at the beginning, and shook his head and said, "What's the hurry?"

"Let's see how long will your minister Sima stay in the south of the county?"

He asked the two of them to retreat, and then read their own small notebooks. Along the way, many people were on the long list.

The fifth reunion is becoming more and more clear about what his goal is this expedition.

He was pessimistic about attacking the Huns and did not want to be cannon fodder.

I have no interest in helping the evil to destroy the so-called "thieves". Isn't the biggest thieves the new army's royal army?

He flipped through the latest volume of the small notebook, and the two names with × were listed above!

Zhu Tufeng was brave in the army, and the army was Sima Ruchen; under the command of General Hu, Sima Dong Xi was promoted!

"What I want to do most now..."

The fifth relationship draws a big slash on the name of Ruchen!

"Attack allies!"
