Chapter VI Governance (Part 2)

After a night of improvement, Shao Xu had formulated detailed political steps, but the only thing that could be implemented is to count the population and farmland. This is mainly due to the inadequate staff who can deal with complex political affairs. On the other hand, whether Wen Qiao's trip to Khanshan was successful is still uncertain. Facing the powerful threat of the ambitious Tuoba Lu official, Lu Yao did not want his soldiers to put their horses into the warehouse, and they all relaxed and became local officials.

Therefore, after the preliminary government affairs arrangements, this meeting still revolves around military issues.

Luochuan Camp, Warriors Fort Camp, and Baiyangyu exit in the western part of Guangchang County were once the Hongshan Pass where the main formation of Murong Longcheng was located. They all need to be repaired, consolidated, and built matching camps and defense facilities. The weapons and armor seized one after another must be repaired by craftsmen, including the weapons currently held by each army, and they also need to be maintained as soon as possible.

At the same time, after fighting these days, although they were invincible, they killed 10,000 enemies and lost 3,000 of them, and many soldiers died in battle. According to Lu Yao's usual requirements, people have been sent to various battlefields to collect the bodies of soldiers and choose appropriate places to bury them. After that, a grand sacrificial ceremony must be arranged. It is important to know that the major affairs of the country are in sacrifice and military affairs. This matter not only comforts the dead, but also serves as a good incentive for the living, and cannot be ignored at all. From Lu Yao himself, the leaders of the army and the team leader must participate sincerely.

There is another story: Although the war is gradually extinguishing, the reconnaissance of external trends cannot be stopped, but also needs to be further strengthened. Among them, within the Dai County, five cavalry and ten cavalry are divided into two shifts day and night. No matter what happens, they must be reported twice a day. Outside the Dai County, a large number of cavalry patrols can be patrolled and investigated, and can be disguised as a clique, caravan, etc., or reported every three days or every five days, depending on the situation.

Afterwards, he handled several military affairs and arranged the officers and schools one by one. Seeing that there was nothing else today, and when they thought the meeting was about to end, Lu Yao pondered for a while and suddenly said, "Since I just mentioned the reconnaissance and probation, I got a piece of news last night. Why not take advantage of the gathering of generals and everyone will discuss it."

"I dare to ask the general to speak out."

"Wen Taizhen and his group have arrived at Danhan Mountain and sent their followers to repay them. It is said that the current situation of the Tuoba Xianbei is more severe than we had previously estimated. At this moment, the tribes of the East and West tribes gathered around Danhan Mountain, with a large number of 100,000. Lu Guan and Yilu sides confront each other, and the situation is tense. Within a few days, there will be a huge chaos."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, many generals were shocked.

Lu Yao went north to Dai County, and was ordered by Yue Shi Gong to go to Jizhou to borrow Ding Shaozhi's help to support Wen Qiao's trip to Danhan Mountain. However, because the new Dai County was only a few days ago, everyone in the hall was all the backbone of the Jin army, and they were all busy. No one could care about the ceremony of Tuoba Xianbei's sacrifice to heaven for a while. Or, in fact, many soldiers were satisfied with the current situation of occupying Dai County, and subconsciously did not think much about it. There was also a strong neighbor who was extremely powerful and faced with drastic changes.

The Tuoba Xianbei is indeed about to be in chaos. Everyone looked at each other in the first sight, and the next moment, they focused their attention on Ding Miao.

As a general under the command of Yue Shigong of Bingzhou, Ding Miao was appointed as General Wuwei. His status was far higher than that of the generals in the hall. Strictly speaking, he was an equal colleague with Lu Yao. Therefore, his seat was set up separately on the side of Lu Yao's head, which was different from other generals. Ding Miao's military strength was also greatly expanded in the quelling battle of Dai County. At this moment, there were a thousand people deployed at the former site of Dai County north of Luochuan, responsible for guarding the dangerous Baidaochuan, the northern part of Dai County. This unit was the first line of defense facing the Tuoba Xianbei forces. At this time, when Lu Yao talked about Wen Qiao's news, everyone went to see him.

Ding Miao focused on it: "The follower came to me last night, and the news was certain. I have sent someone to Baidaochuan to cut down trees and take big stones. If necessary, I will block the mountain roads with them and never let them mess with my county."

At this ceremony of the Dahan Mountain Sacrifice, Lu Guan and Yilu must have a decisive victory. Lu Guan is indeed strong and far above Yilu; Yilu is also fierce and fierce, and has received support from the court. According to the original plan of Yue Shigong, he is quite happy to see them internally. However, the times of the world are changing, and Lu Yao and others are newly established in the new county, which is in the stage of starting from scratch. At this time, it would be too unprofitable if they are entangled with the Tuoba Xianbei.

Everyone present knew the power of Tuoba Xianbei. It could be matched with the three strong tribes of the Eastern Xianbei Murong, Yuwen and Duan tribes, and was known as the hero of the northern border who controlled 400,000 cavalry. In the past, Liu He, the left wise king of the Xiongnu, attacked Jinyang with tens of thousands of elite troops, and was about to completely overthrow the Jinyang regime built by Yue Shigong, Tuoba Yilu went south with 30,000 Xianbei cavalry to help, and in a blink of an eye, he killed tens of thousands of elite Xiongnu soldiers. A few days ago, Lu Guan only entered Dai County with only 3,000 cavalry, and that surprise attack almost caused Lu Yao and others to fall into a desperate situation! If Lu Guan and Yilu really had a big battle, even if the aftermath involved Dai County, it would not be easy for the Jin army to bear it now. Even those who were warlike Ding Miao had already made arrangements to block the mountain road and retreat to defend the death.

"Just..." Ding Miao grinned again and said, "In order to prevent us from taking over the county, Lu Guan even mobilized thousands of cavalry to attack. The person's attitude towards the court can be imagined. Wen Taizhen's light chariot is really dangerous from going deep into the tiger's den. If we block the mountain road and ignore it, what should Taizhen and others do?"

Wen Qiao was the official envoy appointed by Duke Shi of Yue. Lu Yao and Ding Miao were just auxiliary men. They were in danger and the deputy ignored him. There was no such reason in the whole world. However, everyone in the hall whispered to each other, but no one responded to Ding Miao.

Shen Jin frowned and thought for a moment, and sneered loudly, "Everyone, I really don't understand why you panic. Although the number of Tuoba Xianbei people is large, they are busy with internal strife. Our 7,000 cavalry of Dai County is united. I want me to say, this is a good opportunity to catch up with the troubled waters. Let Lu Guan and Yilu fight hard for a while. When the Xianbei people are almost dead, we will advance along Baidaochuan and approach Danhan Mountain north..."

Baidaochuan, a steep mountain road winding between the peaks of Yanshan Mountain, is named after its dirt color as white as lime. It is one of the important channels connecting the thousands of miles of grassland and Hebei. Go north along the Baidaochuan and walk hundreds or dozens of miles to reach Danhan Mountain, which was once the Xianbei royal court located south of the desert.

Chen Jin was born with a scruples and had always been a courage to think, speak, and do. Now he seemed to be considering sending troops to Khanshan Mountain and forcibly intervening in the internal affairs of Tuoba Xianbei with force instead of the county.

However, before Chen Jin finished speaking, a one-eyed man came out and bowed deeply to Lu Yao: "General, I have a word."

"Brother Qingnian, please speak."

The great man was Chen Pei: "General, these days, the soldiers have been sleeping on their swords and armor, fighting in the east and west, and they have not yet reached 30 battles. The journey back and forth is nearly a thousand miles. Although Pei has no knowledge, he has heard of the truth that "the power cannot penetrate Lu silk at the end of his strength". Now the situation of our army is almost similar. Whether it is the Hebei elite soldiers who have been through war for a long time, or the Hu soldiers who are brave and enthusiastic about war, they are extremely tired after frequent wars. Not to mention, many soldiers' injuries have not been healed, and even if they have been resting for two or three months, they may not be able to recover."

Chen Pei did not have the background of the Jinyang army, but Lu Yao's former acquaintance under the tent of the King of Chengdu. Therefore, in his thoughts, he did not regard the orders of Yue Shigong as particularly important, but started more from the current situation in Dai County: "Since our army has taken over Dai County, it is enough to shock the Hu tribe in the northern border. The tasks given by Yue Shigong have been completed. The next step of action is not to be in a hurry. Moreover, with the current situation of our army, how many can still be used for long-term combat? Even if we have all seven thousand iron cavalry, it is difficult to compare with the hundreds of thousands of Tuoba Xianbei. This force can indeed play a special role even if it is dozens of miles closer to Danhan Mountain? In the view of the last general, it is better to give the soldiers a rest for the time being. I think Wen Changshi should have a solution. When news comes to Danhan Mountain, we will not be too late to move."

For a moment, everyone had different opinions and no one could make up their minds.
