Chapter 1028 Sample
The hunt for Liu Lugu is proceeding steadily.

Liu Runzhong and Wang Feng were the leaders, and they mobilized various tribes, totaling more than 50,000 cavalry, to encircle and intercept Liu Lugu, who had less than 10,000 people, and pushed his troops all the way to the northwest of Yinshan Mountain.

The attempt to instigate Liu Hu's rebellion is also underway. It's just that when you fled far away to Gaoque Frontier, Liu Lugu led the rest of his people to surrender to Tuoba Yulu. Anyway, it's just to expose the scars between them and bring up old scores.

Tuoba Yihuai, the Duke of Wuyuan County who was conferred the title of Duke of Daliang, also received an order to attack Liu Lugu and Liu Hu from the east to the west.

They sent out more than 10,000 cavalrymen, but their movements were slow and they had not yet engaged in battle with the Liu brothers.

Pingcheng should have also taken action.

Wang had whispered several times that Liu Lugu had won over some people and united around Tuoba Shiyijian in order to get rid of him.

Shao Xun had some concerns before and did not agree.

After pacifying Liangzhou, he felt that he could withstand the negative impact. It happened that Liu Lugu gave him a handle. Who else could he deal with if not him?
Poor Liu, a loyal man on the grassland and a brave man, was ruined by a woman's provocation a few times.

Of course, Shao the thief had long wanted to deal with Liu Lugu. Not only could he enjoy Mrs. Wang's dedicated service, but he could also get rid of Liu Lugu, whom he had long wanted to deal with. This was killing two birds with one stone.

On the last day of June, Shao Xun had arrived at the top of Longshan Mountain.

Wen Qiao, the governor of Qinzhou, was organizing young men to build a fortress here.

The name of the pass was given by Shao Xun himself, "Dazhen Pass".

It is said that when Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was inspecting nearby, thunder shocked his horses, hence the name - there was an old pass during the Han Dynasty, but it had been abandoned.

This pass is located in the middle of the Longshan Mountains and is the main traffic channel for the east and west of the Longshan Mountains. Its widest point is only about 200 steps.

Once the Guancheng was built, the main road from Longxi into Guanzhong was completely cut off.

If the capital is set in Chang'an, then the status of this pass will be the same as Tongguan (leading to Henan), Wuguguan (leading to Jingzhou), and Sanguan (leading to Hanzhong), serving as a barrier on all sides of the capital.

Shao Xun stood with an umbrella on the mountain, surrounded by ministers, concubines, and soldiers, quietly watching the construction site of the Guancheng at the foot of the mountain.

Because the post road was half covered, it was very difficult to walk on it.

A merchant caravan heading west from Guanzhong even took shelter in the nearby forest valley, allowing a group of ragged people to pass first.

"After watching for so long, have you counted how many heads there are?" Shao Xun seized every opportunity to train his sons. Now he was testing their ability to judge the number of enemy troops.

"Five thousand people." Liang Nu thought for a moment and replied.

"It must be about six thousand." said Hu Tou.

Liang Nu frowned, feeling a little unconfident.

Shao Xun looked at the fifth brother Chunlang and the seventh brother Douniu again.

The two brothers stood together, feeling a little nervous at this moment, and subconsciously said in unison: "Six thousand people."

Shao Xun did not comment and looked at the eighth brother A Guan.

A Guan is only eleven years old this year. If his mother Yang Xianrong had not been one of the concubines accompanying the emperor, he would not have come.

At this time, he calmed down and said, "Master, there are about 5,500 people."

Shao Xun was a little surprised and asked, "Have you counted? Without the golden drums and flags, how can you tell how many people are counting?"

"I've counted them carefully," said A Guan.

After saying that, he lowered his head, as if he was a little sad because his father didn't believe him.

Shao Xun stood up and touched his head, saying, "Your mother is the same. It's cold in the mountains, and she didn't prepare more clothes."

Yang Xianrong was drinking tea not far away and rolled her eyes at him when she heard this.

Shao Xun avoided Yang Xianrong's gaze guiltily.

Yesterday, while touring the mountains and rivers, he and Yang Xianrong talked about the past. He became a little impulsive, so he called himself "minister" again and made a mess of the Queen of Dajin's buttocks.

I regretted it afterwards. What if...

He didn't dare to imagine it, he still wanted Yang Xianrong to accompany him forever.

Shao Xun took off the imperial robe and put it on his son.

He lacked care for this child, and his mother didn't care much about him either, so he felt a little guilty - he did feel guilty, but not much.

"Huang Zheng, you tell them how many people there are." Shao Xun said.

"Your Majesty, this is a part of the Dou clan in Jincheng, totaling more than 8,240 people, and just now we have exceeded 5,700." Huang Zheng said loudly.

After hearing this, the sons all looked differently.

Shao Xun was very happy, as he had basically passed this test.

Liang Nu is the worst, but still qualified.

"Just now we were tested on military affairs, but now we are going to test civil affairs." Shao Xun said, "The Minister of the Imperial Household requested to build a garden, and I approved it. How should we use these Di Qiang when they go to Huaishang? Hutou, you go first this time."

"Since you said that, I won't be polite." Hu Tou chuckled and said, "First, pick an open space near Shouchun. If there is no open space, drive the people away and find another place. Set up an armory, a residence, and a military camp, and enlist the strong men as hereditary soldiers. Regardless of the busy farming season, concentrate on training for a few days every month, so that the strong men can recognize the flags, know how to advance and retreat, and understand military discipline. In this way, they can be used to defend the city."

"The weak ones will be registered as civilian households, and each household will be given one or two hu of grain per year, which will be distributed to the hereditary soldiers so that they can be well fed and perhaps have more time to train. If this is done over a few years, the Huainan army will be larger and the grain will be more abundant, and great things will be accomplished."

"Why choose a place near Shouchun?" Shao Xun asked.

"It's not easy to be disturbed by thieves." Hu Tou replied.

Shao Xun was slightly disappointed, but he didn't give up and asked, "Is there no other reason?"

Tiger Head blinked his eyes, and after a long time he said, "No more."

"Liang Nu, what would you do?" Shao Xun asked.

"Father, I will also choose to cultivate land near Shouchun." Liang Nu said, "There are three reasons." "The first is what Fourth Brother said, it is not easy to be disturbed by bandits. Hefei and Shouchun are nearly 300 miles away. With the Daliang soldiers, it is impossible for the Jin people to attack Shouchun city."

"Secondly, Shouchun has the Fei River to the east, the Shaobi River to the south, the Lijiang River to the west, and the Huai River to the north, which makes irrigation convenient. In the past, Deng Ai cultivated land and the yield per mu was three times that of the west, so it was a great profit."

The land in Huainan is very fertile.

The level of development is very low, and the fertility accumulated over millions of years is all deposited in the soil, making it a bit like virgin land.

Irrigation is very convenient, and almost all fields can become upper fields - generally speaking, irrigated fields are mostly upper fields, and dry fields are mostly middle fields and lower fields.

If we rotate rice and wheat, the grain harvest will be very good.

"Third, Shouchun is the old capital of the Chu State, and a famous place. It has been an important town since the Qin and Han Dynasties. After Sima Jin conquered Wu, he relocated the people from Huainan and gave priority to resettling them in Shouchun. According to the book "Fengtubing", there were fewer epidemics in Shouchun, and it was easier for farmers to survive."

After listening to this, Shao Xun knocked on Tiger's head and said, "Fighting and killing all day long. Have you read "Fengtu Diseases: Yangzhou Chapter"? "

"No." Hu Tou answered honestly.

"Study hard." Shao Xun scolded: "You can't conquer the world by fighting and killing."

"Father, don't you also fight and kill?" said Hu Tou.

Shao Xun was startled, knocked twice more, and said angrily: "You have seen little of my father's abilities."

"Yes." Tiger Head muttered in a low voice, "You can also carve bricks."

"What are you talking about?" Shao Xun asked puzzledly.

"I'm saying, Grandpa, you're good at doing business, and your business is more prosperous than others." said Hu Tou.

Shao Xun glared at him fiercely, then looked at Liu Zi and asked, "Liang Nu, do you have any other plans for managing Huainan?"

"Hu Tou just said that we should do business." Liang Nu said, "Huainan has many waterways, and it is well connected. It is very profitable to trade goods there."

"What goods are you selling?"

"Northern goods are sold in the south, and southern goods are shipped to the north." Liang Nu said, "Huainan should still produce tea. In the future, the Shaofu can enclose some mountains and focus on growing tea."

Shao Xun hummed.

Liuzi is not so good at military affairs, but he is very careful in other aspects.

The fourth one is slightly stronger in military affairs, while the others are slightly weaker - actually they may not be weak, it's just that this brat doesn't take it seriously and doesn't talk properly.

To this day, he has not given up on any of his sons.

They are all asked to make up for their respective weaknesses, strengthen their strengths and improve their overall capabilities in a targeted manner.

Only in this way will you be able to govern a region in the future.

The prisoners at the foot of the mountain were soon captured.

The Qinzhou militia had just rolled up their sleeves and continued to build the city wall, but another team appeared in the west.

Those were the people of the Tufa clan, more than six thousand in total.

Upon hearing that Shi Hu was in a tribe of the Tuoba Xianbei, Shao Xun immediately sent people to investigate, and found out that he had escaped several months ago.

Therefore, Tufa Tuijin was fined one thousand people from his account.

Tufa Tuijin hesitated for more than half a month, weighed the pros and cons carefully, and finally accepted the punishment.

It’s not about these few people, it’s mainly about the damage to one’s prestige.

But what can he do?
Zhang Jun of Liangzhou had just been destroyed, and at this critical moment, which tribal leader would follow him in rebellion? Was he crazy? To put it bluntly, even if they wanted to rebel, they had to wait until Shao Xun returned to Luoyang.

These more than 6,000 people were handed over to the Shaofu.

This has been the old wisdom of every dynasty. They captured Hu slaves and exiled them to the south. The destinations varied depending on the level of development in the south. In the early days it was Huainan, in the middle period it was Wuyue, and in the later period it was Lingnan. They used their bones to develop virgin land.

Shao Xun suddenly turned around and looked at Yang Xianrong, his face smiling like a flower.

"Tell me, how many people, money and food do you need?" Yang Xianrong picked up a piece of dessert, put it into her delicate and tight little mouth, and chewed it gently.

"You go to Huainan and build a manor. It would be best if you could grow crops, raise livestock, and produce tea, silk, fruit, medicinal herbs, and leather. Keep a clear account of every year. List out the income, expenditure, and profit one by one." Shao Xun said, "I want to let the northern scholars see what a manor in the south is like."

Yang Xianrong finished his meal slowly and then said, "Then transfer people from Guangchengze. They can grow rice, raise livestock, and take care of vegetable fields, orchards, and bamboo forests. You can also give me some slaves."

"Okay." Shao Xun agreed immediately.

If the land in the south is regarded as commercial housing for sale, Yang Xianrong's Huainan Manor is the model house. After it is on the right track, waves of "buyers" (scholars and generals from the north) can be organized to visit the house.

After making up his mind, Shao Xun immediately asked someone to draft an edict and send it to Huainan, and then he returned to Guanzhong with his army.

On the tenth day of July, Zhang Shuo received the imperial edict on the north bank of Shishui River.

At this time, he had just issued the order to withdraw troops.

He can only fight up to this point. Even after he withdraws, a lot of land on the north bank, west bank and east bank of Shishui will return to the hands of the Jin people.

But it’s not without effect.

After this battle, Liang and Jin will naturally have a somewhat vague stop line, and each side will tacitly agree on which side belongs to whom until the next battle.

The Jin army's navy gathered on the Shishui River.

Not far to the south, Hefei stands tall.

It's obvious that at this point they won't retreat unless you defeat them and drive them away completely.

Shan Xia walked back and forth on the top of the city wall for a long time, and then ordered, "Report the victory to Jianye."
