after being kidnapped by the general

Seeing his success, Yuan Li also wanted to laugh, "This is a birthday gift for you."

Chu Hechao raised his eyebrows, "Just a letter as a birthday present?"

Yuanli was alert, "Then what else do you want?"

Chu Hechao wanted to say something nasty, but he swallowed it before he could say it. He sighed, and his Adam's apple and chest trembled slightly when he spoke, "I'm afraid I will scare you if I say it now, so I will say it in two years. Let you grow up again." A little, boy."

There are still two years left in his filial piety.

Yuanli immediately understood what he meant, and asked bluntly, "Do you want to sleep with me?"

Chu Hechao suddenly choked on his saliva and coughed several times.After stopping, he looked at Yuanli in disbelief, his face flushed, and he felt that he was not as good as a beast when he was still in his filial age, so he blushed and retorted thickly, "I didn't say, it's all because of you. Think. Look what's going on in your head."

Seeing his embarrassing appearance, Yuan Li sighed, "I'm sorry for you, brother."

Chu Hechao asked questions, "What?"

"It's going to be thirty after the filial piety period," Yuan Li said in a pitiful tone, "I haven't eaten meat yet."

Chu Hechao: "..."

Yuan Li reached out to touch his head and comforted him, "It's okay, I don't look old. At first glance, he looks like a young man of 25 or [-] years old."

The veins on Chu Hechao's forehead tensed up, "...you can shut up."

After all this trouble, Chu Hechao didn't even think about it at all.

He hugged Yuanli to sleep, and told Yuanli what happened when he attacked Bingzhou, and the current situation in Bingzhou, "There are still some officials left in Bingzhou, I don't know if they are useful, let's make do with it, we It is also impossible to get so many officials to fill the vacancies. It doesn’t matter if you are a small official, but we must send someone to serve as the county guards in various places.”

Yuan Li also nodded, "You are right."

Youzhou needs people, and Bingzhou also needs people.Especially Bingzhou, as a newly conquered territory, the garrison must be replaced by their troops, and the top officials must also be served by their cronies, so that Bingzhou can be firmly in hand.

The people in Bingzhou also need to settle down well. The snow disaster in winter and the disaster caused by the rebel army, the repeated disputes have turned the people into frightened birds, and people died of freezing and starvation everywhere.

Fortunately, there were no outbreaks in Youzhou and Bingzhou.

The medical books rewarded by the system have already arrived in Yuanli's hands, and Yuanli has ordered people to learn these medical skills in a unified way, preparing to train disease doctors systematically.

Yuan Li scratched his arm and said, "Who will the Governor of Bingzhou arrange to do it?"

Chu Hechao rubbed his ears, "Who else is there besides you?"

They said it very casually, as if they could appoint anyone to be the governor at will.In fact, this is indeed the case, and the state is in their hands, and of course the right to speak is also in their hands.After arranging people, you only need to pretend to write a letter to the emperor, saying that they have represented a certain person as the governor of Bingzhou.

This "representing who serves as an official" is very interesting in troubled times.

For what you have mastered, it is true to tell who is an official, but where you do not know, it is purely a matter of face.For example, if Li Libiao's subordinates are governors of Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Yanzhou, can his subordinates really serve as governors in these three places?That's just pretending.

Therefore, Yuanli and Chu Hechao didn't care about Li Li and the emperor's reaction when they learned that they had conquered Bingzhou, and they were not in a hurry to write to the emperor immediately to list themselves as the governor of Bingzhou.

The reason is too simple, even if Li Lizhen declared someone else to be the governor of Bingzhou, that person would not dare to come to Bingzhou to be the governor of Bingzhou.Even if he really dared to come to Bingzhou, it would be the fate of being ostracized as a mascot.

Yuanli thought for a while, and felt that it would be fine for him to take the role. He already had experience, "Okay, I'll take care of it. But do you think there are too few people in our two states?"

During the whole snow disaster, the only ones who could count as gains were more than 50 refugees who fled to Youzhou.

But these more than 50 refugees are still too few for the uncultivated land in Youzhou and Bingzhou.

The most important thing now is to find a way to attract people to settle in Youzhou.

While talking, Yuan Li sighed suddenly, and said helplessly to Chu Hechao, "Can you stop poking me?"

Chu Hechao's ears were ashamed, and he said cheekily: "I haven't seen you for four months, it misses you, and I can't control it. Would you like to persuade it?"

Yuan Li turned over, stretched out his hand to touch it, "Good boy, go to bed, don't make a fuss."

After gently persuading him for a while before he obeyed, Yuan Li's hands were sore, and he complained, "What did you eat to grow up?"

Chu Hechao let out a breath of relief, raised his hand to wipe his hair, his sweaty face was filled with sexy moisture.He wiped Yuanli's hands with a towel, kissed Yuanli's lips contentedly, and smirked, "This is your blessing, do you like it?"

The corner of Yuanli's mouth twitched, "...I can't like it."

Chu Hechao laughed and scolded: "You are living in the blessing and don't know the blessing."

Yuan Li thought to himself that this blessing was really unbearable, and he became worried whenever he mentioned this matter.Yuan Li picked up the quilt to cover himself, and said to the man in a muffled voice, "I want to sleep."

Chu Hechao clicked his tongue and snatched his quilt, fearing that he would suffocate him to death, "Sleep as soon as you sleep, what are you doing with the quilt over your head on a hot day?"

Yuan Li said: "If you don't kiss me, I won't be fooled." Once kissed, it is easy to misfire.

Chu Hechao didn't hesitate, and immediately put the quilt back on Yuanli's body, and tucked the corners of the quilt for him thoughtfully, "Then you should keep it covered."

Yuanli: "...you get lost."

The first sleep in the same bed after four months, both of them slept refreshed.

When exercising together in the morning, they also talked about He Lang's going to Luoyang.

Chu Hechao asked lightly, "Li Li didn't respond?"

"No," Yuan Li said casually, "It's too late for him to do anything, and now everyone in the world knows that he killed the Chu king and his wife and tried to bribe you and me."

After saying this, Yuan Li realized that something was wrong. He looked at Chu Hechao guiltily, and regretted mentioning the killing of King Chu and his wife.

Chu Hechao's expression didn't change, he just paused, and said calmly: "In a few years, I won't be able to avenge them."

When the breeze blows, the leaves are whirling.

Yuan Li said lightly but firmly: "We will kill him sooner or later."

Chu Hechao smiled and said, "Okay."

In the afternoon, everyone gathered in the study to discuss who to send to Bingzhou to take up the post.

After the snow disaster, Xiang Hongyun, who had seen Yuanli's strange side, resolutely worshiped Yuanli as the master, and Yuanli enlisted him as his subordinate official.

Yuanli was not polite at the moment, and he assigned Xiang Hongyun, Yuanlou, Zhan Shaoning, Zheng Rong, Zhong Ji, and Guo Lin to go to Bingzhou first to deal with the follow-up.

Xinzhou and Guan Zhihuai, who have not yet returned from Bingzhou, will temporarily station in the same place, and start to recruit Bingzhou soldiers after rectifying the garrison.

After all, there are still too few people who can be sent to Bingzhou to serve as sheriffs.After thinking about it, Yuanli visited Zhang Liangdong himself, and asked Zhang Liangdong to go to Bingzhou to serve as the sheriff.

Zhang Liangdong once served as an official and became one of the three princes, so he can naturally be a good sheriff.

He was a little moved by Yuan Li's words, but he was still a little uneasy because he was angered and resigned by the late emperor, so he said hesitantly: "The old man is old... I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Yuan Li said sincerely: "Uncle, now only you can help me. The people of Bingzhou are suffering. You have been an official all your life. No one is more suitable than you to be the sheriff and let the people regain their stability. Uncle, if you love the country and the people so much, just work hard for the people for a few more years."

Was Zhang Liangdong moved by what he said, and sighed: "You call me like that, how can I refuse?"

He also saw the embarrassment of Yuanli's lack of manpower, Zhang Liangdong thought about it, and wrote a special letter to his disciples, asking them to come to Youzhou to help Yuanli.

After Yuanli heard about this, he was so moved that he gave half of Bingzhou's famous wine to Zhang Liangdong.

Among the subordinates who were going to Bingzhou, Guo Lin was the most worried one.Before leaving, he made a special trip to find Yuan Li, "My lord, although I'm gone, I can't just leave behind what I've done. I want to recommend someone with you to take over the affairs in my hands."

Yuan Li asked curiously, "Who?"

Guo Lin said: "Ding Zongguang."

Ding Zongguang, this name is somewhat familiar.

Yuan Li looked at Chu Hechao who was sitting next to him.

Chu Hechao frowned and thought about it. He had a good memory, and after a while, he picked out a person, "It's a military officer under Yang Zhongfa. He was cut off an arm when he was beating Bai Mizhong in Yu County. He wanted to die. Later, you arranged a job to save him."

Yuan Li had some vague impressions, but as soon as Chu Hechao finished speaking, he suddenly remembered, "It's him."

In the barracks at that time, after learning that he would take in the wounded soldiers, Ding Zongguang brought the wounded soldiers to kowtow to Yuanli.It was also because of the military marquis' behavior of waiting to die without eating or drinking that Yuan Li came up with the idea of ​​taking in the wounded soldiers to work.

Yuan Li had a good impression of this person, and asked with a smile, "How is this person?"

Guo Lin saluted and said: "He is extremely grateful to the lord, and is willing to serve the lord with death."

Guo Lin didn't say anything else, because for Yuan Li, this one was enough.

Guo Lin is a cautious person. When he said that Ding Zongguang was very loyal to Yuanli, he must have said so after repeated confirmation.

Yuanli trusted Guo Lin and his ability to see people, so he smiled and said, "Then let him take over the affairs in your hands."

After Guo Lin dealt with his confidant's serious troubles, he immediately relaxed a lot. He just felt that he could leave the lord's side and go to Bingzhou to do things at ease. "My lord, I have one more thing to do. The master told me in the morning that you should go to Yuanfu for dinner. .”

After saying this, Guo Lin walked away with ease.

Yuan Li stretched, his back suddenly felt a little itchy, he asked Chu Hechao to scratch him, and asked, "Do you want to go to Yuan Mansion with me for dinner?"

It was time to go to dinner. Once Chu Hechao came back, Yuan Li stayed with him in the Prince Chu's mansion and didn't visit his parents much.

Chu Hechao scratched his back, pulled him into his arms and sat down, "Go. How can I miss this opportunity to visit my father-in-law?"
