Cao Bin was preoccupied, and wanted to speak up to fight for himself, to express his position, in order to strive for reuse, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what, he was used to being cautious.

Before he could speak, the handsome man above spoke first.

"Cao Jianjun, the officials from the east have arrived, and the army will return to the court in a short time."

Cao Bin could only echo cautiously: "The commander-in-chief has arranged everything properly, and everything is in order."

"Hahaha, you are right, but I didn't come to discuss this with you today." The marshal stood up and paced in front of him. Cao Bin didn't even dare to sit down, so he also stood up and waited for the next sentence.

"The army is leaving, but Shu still needs someone to lead the army. The Jiannan Army will be stationed in Shu with 1 people to maintain order here. I need someone to sit in Chengdu for me."

Speaking of this, the commander suddenly turned his head, and the tall shadow covered him, "I want to entrust this matter to you. I want to appoint you as the commander of the Jiannan Army Capital, and inspect the seven states of Dongchuan."

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment. He thought that the commander-in-chief called him here because he was a relative of the former emperor, so he was going to be removed from the official position. He didn't expect such a heavy responsibility to be entrusted to him suddenly, and he was directly in charge of the military supervisor. The local general of the First Army.

Shocked, he even knelt down on one knee: "The final general will be devastated and will live up to the commander's entrustment."

The commander-in-chief nodded, and helped him up with a strong hand, and then explained: "Dongchuan is the gateway to Shu, and the Jiannan Army is responsible for the plank road between Jianmen Pass and Dajian Mountain, and also responsible for the road between Lizhou and Dajian Mountain." Defense of Hanzhong.

There are Jingnan Army, Xiaoxiang Army, Zhenhuai Army, Wang Huan, Pan Mei, and Si Chao in the east, and Hanzhong in the north. The pressure will not be great, and the main thing is to ensure the stability of Shu. "

Cao Bin still didn't recover from this huge shock, he just said repeatedly: "The last general will remember!"

"The Jiannan army was reorganized from the Shu army. Their combat effectiveness is not good. You need to train them more."

Cao Bing nodded again.

The marshal continued to explain to him: "Besides, I also found an assistant for you, Kang Yanze, the envoy of the dyeing house, is a fierce man, I will leave him to you."

Cao Bin has always been cautious. He knew that Kang Yanze was originally from Shatuo.

But in the end, he still couldn't help asking, "Commander, XX... is a relative of the former dynasty. I am afraid it is not appropriate for the commander to take such a heavy responsibility. In case someone in the army refuses to accept..."

Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief didn't take it seriously at all: "Once you make achievements, they will naturally accept you. I value you as a person and your ability. As for your identity, I don't care about it, and I won't pursue it.

You have always been cautious in doing things, you also know the military, you love the people, and you have made a lot of contributions. This is the reason why I promoted you, work hard. "

Cao Bin was immediately moved, and at one point he was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He knelt down and kowtowed, repeatedly expressing that he would never disappoint the commander in chief.

........

After Cao Bin was arranged, Shi Congyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He spoke righteously to Cao Bin. Naturally, there was a reason for that. He valued Cao Bin's talent. Unlike Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin, he does not have high prestige in the army, which is why he can use it with confidence.

Two days later, Guo Tingwei, whom he appointed, also arrived in Chengdu by boat along the river.

And Guo Tingwei came with a book, and the imperial court appointed Guo Tingwei to know the affairs of the Chengdu government. To put it bluntly, he was the prefect of the Chengdu government and the prime minister of the government affairs of Shu.

This Dangre was hand-picked by Shi Congyun, and the regent Empress Dowager Fu was only appointed and dispatched according to his wishes.

After Guo Tingzhi arrived in Chengdu, Shi Congyun immediately called him into the palace, and then had a secret talk for a day, telling him not only about preparing for the mutiny, but also about his future plans in Shu. The first step was to gradually find out and count the The fields of the land, the registered population.

Of course, this is just one of them. The other major event is to continuously transport the treasury of Chengdu to Daliang. All these need to be organized by him, the prefect.

Afterwards, he took the lead by himself and asked Guo Tingwei to meet Cao Bin. For a long time after that, one of them was in charge of the government affairs of Shu, and the other was in charge of the military power of Shu.

He also explained to them that the overall policy of Shu is to develop steadily and restore order.

In the next few days, the second batch of officials sent by the imperial court arrived in Shu, took the three provinces (appointment letters) to Chengdu to meet Shi Congyun, Guo Tingwei and Cao Bin, and then went to various places to take up their posts.

By the ninth day of May, in the 48 prefectures, two prefectures and one military town in the Shu region, the vacancies of officials had been filled to seven or eighty-eight, and it was running again. Shi Congyunbai knew that it was only a matter of time before he could return to the imperial court.

The consumption of tens of thousands of troops in Shu is not a small consumption.

Then the remaining generals were summoned and began to arrange for the withdrawal of the army.

Everyone knew that the withdrawal of the army was of great importance, and it was not a simple withdrawal. Many generals were very excited, and the accompanying civil servants were also gearing up, thinking about how to make meritorious service.

Just when they were about to withdraw their troops, a rumor suddenly rose in the direction of Lizhou, and even spread to Chengdu, where people discussed it in the streets and alleys.

It is said that in the Jialing River next to Fenghuang Mountain, some fishermen saw a black dragon soaring from the river when they got up to fish in the morning. scene........

Chapter 299: The Melancholy of Kunning Palace

In mid-May, when the weather warmed up, Shi Congyun was also preparing to return to Beijing.

The tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers of the army are all full of money, but it is also a hard work to bring back Daliang.

Shi Congyun was going to take a boat back to Daliang by water. Fei's resolutely resisted this matter, and he was unwilling to take a boat with him, because she was left behind with the reason that she dared not take a boat. Wouldn't it be slapping yourself in the face and making the world suspicious.

Shi Congyun was very tough and asked her to go with her. Anyway, he was Sima Zhaozhi, and everyone knew that he was the one who forced Fei to stay by his side and tell her to tell the truth. After all, she always wanted to go back to Meng Chang's side. thoughts.

Whether it was the people who saw Meng Chang off, or Fei Shi, who was always thinking about going back to Meng's house, he was very upset.

Naturally, Fei couldn't help it, he couldn't fight him even after crying, so he obediently boarded his big boat.

Shao Ji was responsible for the withdrawal of troops on land, and led the main force of 7000 people to return to Daliang by land in the north.

Everything is in order due to careful arrangements.

Before he left, the legend about the Black Dragon coming out of the river was already very widespread in Shu. Shi Congyun knew it was spread by Meng Xuanzhe without asking.

I thought to myself, this Meng Xuanzhe has a really good brain, and this rumor is well-founded and convincing.

The selection of the place is very particular. The Jialing River on the bank of Fenghuang Mountain, Wu Zetian and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty rumored that there was auspiciousness there, and there were dragons and phoenixes. The atmosphere and foundation of metaphysics.

Furthermore, in order for a good rumor to spread, it is necessary to empathize with those involved in the spread, rather than pushing it dryly.

Meng Xuanzhe was very clever at this point. In early May, dragons appeared in the river, causing the river to skyrocket, with huge waves and so on.

As soon as he said this, many people would think it was reasonable. Even if he didn't see the dragon, but he felt that the water had indeed risen, and the wind and waves were strong in those few days, so he would subconsciously think it was reasonable, and talked about it with great relish, and the more it spread, the more it passed.

As for rising water and bad waves, it rained heavily in most places in Sichuan at the beginning of May, so shouldn't it be rising...

Meng Xuanzhe seized this opportunity and immediately spread the rumors.

As for how to interpret it, there are too many. Entertainment is single these days, and people's greatest entertainment is talking after dinner.

However, as long as the whole Chengdu has read a little, they are all aimed at him, and there are endless discussions. There are even monks, priests or some hermits who come to see him mysteriously, saying that they have seen through the secrets and want to talk to him.

They made up their minds and Shi Congyun knew that, as a five-good young man in the 21st century, how could he believe this, and besides, his subordinates did all this.

But Shi Congyun is also an old fritter. He doesn't believe it or not, but he doesn't refuse. He interviewed them one by one and let them talk about it for a long time, and then rewarded them with some money to send them away. He needed these people to help him build public opinion.

Everyone talks about this vision in their own way, but in fact, there is no need to interpret it at all. Learned people understand the meaning of this matter.

The black dragon came out of the water and flew to the north, black, water, and the north, everyone would think of the Qin Dynasty.

In ancient times, the theory of five elements was emphasized, so five colors, five directions and so on were derived.

Qin respected the water in the five elements, the five colors belong to black, and the five directions belong to the north. The black dragon rises from the water and flies to the north, all pointing at the king of Qin. Now he is the only king of Qin who is famous in the world.

Some scholars, common people and even soldiers talked a lot, thinking that this was a sign from the heavens.

In ancient times, there was a definite number of national titles, except for princes, who generally inherited titles and place names. The Han Dynasty established Han because Liu Bangfei was granted the title of King of Han in Hanzhong.In the Tang Dynasty, because Li's jurisdiction was located in the ancient Tang State, he was granted the title of Tang Guogong, and the country was established as Tang; in the Song Dynasty, because the vicinity of Daliang was originally the ancient Song State, Zhao Kuangyin worshiped the governor of Songzhou (returned to the German army), and the country was named Song.

Even in the troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties after the Han Dynasty, when the Five Hus went south, this rule was still followed.

Later Liao, Jin, Yuan, etc. did not have titles because they went from the north to the south, so they had to take their own titles. However, with the rise of the Jin, Yuan and other dynasties, this set of rules was completely broken, especially after the Yuan Dynasty, Ming and Qing. in this way.

This process is also a process in which traditional China's influence on the north is gradually weakened or even suppressed.

But that was at least 400 years later. At this time, people in the world still agree with this set of sacred values ​​that have been gradually built since the Han Dynasty and have been passed for thousands of years. Everyone agrees in their hearts.

Seeing the changes these days, Shi Congyun was also very happy in his heart, and things went smoothly than he thought.

And because distance creates beauty, the meaning Qin represents in this era is also gradually changing.

It is as if the Han Dynasty reflected on the lessons of the Qin Dynasty, whether it is history books or articles, more than [-]% are criticisms;

Today's people reflect on the lessons of the Tang Dynasty and nine out of ten are criticisms.

People cannot look beyond the times to see problems, it takes time to settle.

After the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but in the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, people's views on the Qin Dynasty also began to change, and they began to gradually affirm the contributions of the Qin Dynasty. Ideas are also desirable, and contributions need to be affirmed.

It is also like people after a thousand years who also began to look back at the glory and achievements of the Tang Dynasty.

Ever since the black dragon came out of the Jialing River, many people have started to discuss whether King Qin will now rule the world and end the chaos just like King Qin did back then...

.......

On the morning of his departure, officials of all sizes in Chengdu and many common people went to the riverside to see him off. Shi Congyun felt balanced now, and told them to be diligent in governing and loving the people in Shu, and take care of their health. .

Then Fei boarded the boat with the little yellow flower.

The waterway from Shudi to Daliang is very long, but it does not take time to walk.

Li Bai once wrote "Among the colorful clouds of Emperor Baidi in court, a thousand miles of rivers and tombs will return in one day" to describe the speed of sailing in the Three Gorges waterway.

However, the reason why Shi Congyun didn't dare to delay was because of his own considerations, that is, the enthusiasm of his soldiers was too high, and Shi Congyun asked them to garrison in various important places to prepare for the mutiny.

He originally planned to give them a month, but not long after, people from all over the country sent letters back, saying that they had arrived at the designated location to guard the important place according to his arrangement.

There was no movement in Guanbei (north of Yijinguan) in the north after he came out, because it was too far away, and people from other places had sent replies, and he was surprised by the active action.

In mid-May, Liu Qingchuan, Li Gu, Luqiu Zhongqing, Zhao Shijian, Wang Zhong, and Fu Zhaoyuan also sent letters to him, saying that Daliang was ready and that Wang Zhong had controlled the garrison inside and outside the capital, allowing him to return east.

In this way, he can't procrastinate any longer. The sooner this kind of thing happens, the better, and it's best to be clean and tidy.

.........

The days on the boat were quite comfortable. When I saw Zhou Jun's tall Qiyun battleship for the first time, Xiao Huanghua was completely stunned, and looked back and forth on the upper deck excitedly.

She grew up in the mountains, and it was the first time she saw such a big guy.

It was not the first time for Shi Congyun to take this kind of warship of the Zhou army, but he also felt the strength of craftsmen in this era.

This kind of large wooden boat can achieve a displacement of about six or seven hundred tons. It must be the largest boat in the world today, and it is far away from other parts of the world.

War can drive the development of technology, and this era is no exception. Hundreds of years of wars have also accelerated the development of engineering technology. In addition to this kind of warship, there were many engineering innovations in the early Song Dynasty, such as the first Yangtze River Bridge in history. For the first time in history, gunpowder was militarized and applied.

Fei Shi didn't dare to cry anymore these days, she probably heard some rumors, after all, she is a well-read person, and there are many Huarui ladies in the harem of Shu Kingdom, only Fei Shi is very famous.

One of the reasons is that Meng Chang wrote poems praising her beauty, and she herself has many poems handed down to later generations, she is a talented woman.

Only then did Shi Congyun realize that there seemed to be a lot of talented women in his family. Needless to say, Zhou Xian was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Zhao Shijian is not as good as Liumei, but he is also well-read. He is simply a harvester of talented women.

Seeing the green hills on both sides of the strait passing by in front of him, and the roar of the river's waves, Shi Congyun beckoned Fei to come over: "I heard that you are a talented woman, come and perform a seven-step poem for me to see."

Fei didn't dare to disobey and came over, with a troubled expression on his face, after thinking for a while, he finally couldn't suppress the emotion of being bullied these days, and lay on his shoulder with tears in his eyes, and began to cry, beating his chest with his hands while crying, but her point Strength is not enough to loosen your bones,

"Do you know who you hit?" Shi Congyun asked her.

While crying, she was still beating his chest: "Of course I know, the biggest villain in the world, the thief who wants to seek power and usurp the throne! You make me unable to be a man, I can't be a man......

Just kill me, I don't want to live anymore! "

She cried and cursed at the same time, as if she was really going all out.

Shi Congyun blew the river wind, hugged her shoulders and let her beat them weakly, laughed triumphantly, and when she finally stopped crying and calmed down, he took her hand: "Don't say anything back to me!" The Meng Mansion is over, and I will go to the palace when I arrive at Daliang, I like a woman like you."

Fei stopped crying, his eyes were red, and he curled up quietly in his arms. The mountains and mountains on both sides of the river could be heard from time to time, birdsong and apes crying.

"Think quickly, nod when you're done thinking about it." Shi Congyun urged her mercilessly.

Pushed to the corner, Fei said helplessly: "You are the biggest villain in the world..." Then he nodded.

Shi Congyun hugged her up, "I am old, that is your blessing, don't mention Meng Chang in front of me from now on."

Mrs. Huarui blushed completely, and even hugged his neck tightly, whispering: "Then...don't scold me again after that."

........

Zhou Guo's army captured Chengdu, and the news of the Shu Kingdom's demise reached Daliang as early as last month. After that, Hebei, Huainan and other places also spread a lot.

The people of Daliang are naturally rejoicing. Apart from the fact that the soldiers of Zhou State were rewarded for their meritorious service in battle, and their family members were happy, with the successive victories in foreign wars and various domestic measures to love the people, the country is now becoming more and more cohesive, and the hearts of the people are against each other. start to manifest.

With the victory in the battle ahead, the whole country is honored. Many people in Daliang City are talking about it, and the atmosphere is lively.

Compared with before, the people are more concerned about the country's war.

Everyone is talking about the history of King Qin from Congyun, and the storytellers in the teahouse have new stories to tell. They are so cute in storytelling and singing. In the past few years, the history of King Qin has taken Huainan from Congyun, conquered Guanzhong, and destroyed Nanping. Ping Wuping, defeat Khitan, and now Shu is destroyed.

Fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei, four prefectures in Guanzhong, three prefectures in Nanping, nine prefectures in Wuping, five prefectures in Guanbei, two prefectures in Shu, 48 prefectures and one army town have been recovered successively, providing a lot of stories that cannot be told.

Now Qin King's prestige in the country has reached a state that the predecessors can only look up to, even the late emperors cannot compare, not only the court, but even ordinary people feel that no matter whether it is recovering lost land, expanding territories, or foreign invasion, To defend against powerful enemies, as long as the king of Qin goes out, there is nothing he can't handle.

In this way, the Goulan wine shop is naturally full of legendary stories about King Qin. Of course, there are also many interesting anecdotes about King Qin.

However, these are not worth mentioning in front of the unrivaled achievements. After all, King Qin is still young, so he can be forgiven.

It's just that I don't know when it started recently, some rumors began to spread in the Goulan wine shop. It is said that it was first spread by the army, but where it came from, the people in the market can't figure it out. Whisper, private discussion.
