Chapter 523
"Ashu left Dali..."

Holding the letter in his hand, Li Xia read it, thinking about it, and calculating the speed of Ashu's march.

Ashu sent troops at the end of last year, and took away three thousand-man teams from Mongolia, the Tanma Red Army and more than ten thousand Dali Army.The [-] Song troops who destroyed the country of Qi and broke Laocang Pass drove straight in.

In addition, Mongolian Wanhu Baiyin led more than [-] troops out of Dali to clean up the mess from Qi State and provide support for Ashu.

Gao Qiong didn't find out the news until before the New Year's Eve, and secretly sent a letter to Gao Changshou.

Gao Changshou then sent another person to tell Li Xia.

The messenger went to Junlian to meet Han Chengxu, and Han Chengxu sent someone to Chengdu urgently.

When he arrived in Chengdu, he only saw Nie Zhongyou, so he had no choice but to continue to Jianmenguan, Lizhou, Hanzhong...

Finally arrived at Shanheyan on March [-]th.

The journey is long and rough, and this letter has traveled through Wuchi Road and Niujin Road in March, covering more than [-] miles of mountains and rivers.

Li Xia understood Ah Shu's style of fighting, and with the swiftness and ferocity with which he used his troops, he might have completely broken through the Song Dynasty, and Lin'an hadn't received the news yet.

There is a variable... Wu Liang Hetai died.

It is true that Wu Liang Hetai is a fierce general, but he has an arrogant temperament and lacks wit and resourcefulness.In terms of the ability to lead the army, I'm afraid it's not as good as his son Ashu.

But Li Xia thought about it again, anyway, Lu Wende is also a famous general, so he doesn't have to worry about it himself.

He continued to read the letter.

Gao Qiong only knew that Dali was now under the command of the Mongol Zongwang Buhua, but Buhua had a lot of troops, the number of the Mongolian army and the number of Dali soldiers has not yet been ascertained.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xia received the letter and said, "You have worked hard all the way..."

Before the words finished, the courier threw his head back and collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, so he ordered someone to help him to rest.

Li Xia read Han Chengxu's letter again on the top of the mountain, counting the time, in seven or eight days, the family members will arrive.

"The carriage is slow."

He felt emotional, and looked south, only to feel that this desolate Hanzhong plain did not feel like home yet.

……

Among the several Shu roads going north from Hanzhong, the exit of Ziwu Road is the closest to Chang'an City.

The entrance of Baoxie Road is the closest to Hanzhong, just north of Hanzhong City.

The Baoxie Road is basically excavated along the Baohe River.

The Bao River flows into Hanzhong from north to south.

The Shanhe Weir was built at the junction of the Baoxie Road and the Hanzhong Plain, diverting the water from the Baohe River from the valley to irrigate large tracts of farmland.

It is not easy to repair water conservancy.Li Xia's first plan was to build the military settlement, and the soldiers would build the river dam, and then distribute the best fertile land to the soldiers.

Liangtian is awarded with military merit.

The rest of the fields were recruited back to their hometowns to claim them.Most of them are unowned fields, which are rented by the government and cultivated by refugees.

It is true that the three-year exemption refers to the land tax.Naturally, the land rent has to be paid, and the fixed amount of grain per mu is one stone, which can be paid after the harvest.

After these fields are divided, the outsiders will reclaim the wasteland.

Of course, if the refugees have no money left to buy seeds and agricultural tools, they can borrow green crop loans from the government, and the profit will be divided into two, which can be paid for by grain...

Li Xia has no staff by his side, and he can only plan to this extent alone.

He must recruit a large number of talents to modify, supplement, perfect and implement the entire land system.

Right now, the soldiers are passionate about water conservancy, and the first thing they irrigate is their own fields.

Li Xia is still waiting for someone who understands water conservancy to come. What he is doing during this time is to set up camp in Shanheyan to prepare food, calculate military achievements, and divide the acres of land.

In addition to these soldiers, there are also many people who come here every day, some who want to be tenants for these soldiers, and some who want to share the land with the army.

Li Xia then sent people to recruit refugees and pay wages to repair the dam...

It was even more exciting than fighting.

He was so busy that on March [-]th, Li Xia asked Zhang Jue, "Brother Junyu, can you make arrangements for everything in the future?"

Zhang Jue was upset today, because a school general under his command asked if he could transfer the fields in Hanzhong to Chongqing, and said, "General, aren't you an official of the Chongqing government?"

At that time, Zhang Jue couldn't answer the question, because now it was Li Xia who made the arbitrariness to divide the land, and it was not the court who divided the land. In the end, he could only curse, "Get out! Go to Chongqing Mansion and ask Lu Zhishi for it!"

"The business is heavy, and I can't arrange it alone." Now Zhang Jue and Li Xia are familiar with each other, and they speak directly, "What's the matter with Feiyu?"

"My family is coming soon." Li Xia said, "I'll take a trip to Jinniu Road."

Zhang Jue smiled and asked, "Should I also bring my family members here? I heard that General Wang has been promoted to the comfort envoy of Hubei. No matter what, Feiyu can help me find the governor of Xingyuan Mansion and know Yangzhou well."

This is the first time he has talked about his official position since the recovery of Hanzhong.

Li Xia didn't answer, and said lightly: "Brother Junyu, while you can still stay in Hanzhong, let's do more things."

"Don't say things like that, wait for me to pick up the youngest, you and I are good friends of the family, do you have any brothers in your family? My fourth sister is still waiting to be a boudoir..."

"No." Li Xia had already walked out, and said, "You impeach me, and I will hold grudges."

Zhang Jue was stunned, with a smile on his face, and shouted at Li Xia, "Li Feiyu, you hozen, I am incompatible with you!"

~~
The next day, Li Xia arranged everything in order to spare a few days to pick up his family members.

"Report to the general, it rained yesterday, and a section of the mountain collapsed, knocking down the tower at Shimen Pass."

"I'll be there in a while, Mao Yi'er, you go and resettle the rest of the refugees to Hanwang Mountain; Aji, go and see the rising water on the dam..."

Before Li Xia finished speaking, someone came again.

"Report to the general, and the Chongqing government dispatched an order to order General Yi to return to Lingxiao City immediately; order General Zhang to return to Diaoyu City immediately."

"Where's the messenger?"

"In Hanzhong City, I have seen General Yi."

Li Xia said: "Detain the messenger, you go to see Zhu Cheng, let him persuade General Yi, Hanzhong's defense is tight, he should not leave lightly for now."

"Yes."

"What did you just say, Aji, take someone to the dam to have a look. If the water rises, you must not kill anyone..."

"Report, General, General Zhang has taken people to Shimen Pass, saying that he is here to deal with it."

"Okay." Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, let's continue..."

"Report to the general, Yangping Pass, five days ago, refugees came to Chen Cangdao, and more than [-] people gathered as of the day before yesterday, claiming that it was a war in Longdi, and asked for surrender. Xu Kui feared that there were Mongol spies, so he didn't dare to switch, and asked how to deal with it. ..."

"Report to the general, there are 18 people in Mian County who brought fake land deeds to claim the land..."

All in all, a group of military generals under Li Xia's command are now stationed everywhere. They don't know how to do big or small things, and they send people to ask questions every day.

Only Yi Shiying, who is temporarily stationed in Hanzhong City, can stabilize the people's livelihood and government affairs.

And Lu Wende obviously wanted to transfer people like Yi Shiying and Zhang Jue away first to deal with Li Xia...don't bother him about this matter.

But still busy.

Li Xia was busy coming and going, so she couldn't help but look south again.

He still has to bring his family members here, and he can only sort things out when the shogunate arrives.

Although there are not many people in his shogunate.

"Pass down the order, report the letter and line up outside the account in the future, wait for me..."

"Report to the general, more than a thousand troops have arrived outside the plank road, claiming that they are from Junlian, and they are the general's family..."

~~
"The magistrate... no, the magistrate... the magistrate..."

Bao San and Xiong Shan were leading the guards up the hillside. When they looked up, they saw Li Xia approaching.The two quickly clasped their fists together, but they didn't know how to call out.

I haven't seen him for more than a year. Li Xia's appearance has not changed, but he has much more murderous spirit than before.

Bao San and Xiong Shan seemed a little frightened, and were stunned.

Li Xia had strode forward and patted the two of them on the shoulder.

"Aron."

Someone called out, Li Xia turned his head to look, and saw Han Chengxu staggering up the slippery mountain road.

Then came Li Yong.

"Mr. Han, Mr. Li."

"Why did Alang welcome you down?"

Li Xia greeted them, and glanced at the team. There were many Miao, Yi, and Bo people among them.

There was a group of more than [-] female soldiers in the middle, all of whom were Bo women, all of them had dark complexions, fierce eyes, and held spears, with a murderous aura, they seemed to be more powerful than many of his soldiers.

When their team separated, they heard a little girl "Ouch".

Li Xia looked around and saw Gao Mingyue holding Han Qiaoer who fell on the hillside.

They neither rode a horse nor took a cart, Gao Mingyue's skirt was already covered with mud, Han Qiaoer was even worse, fell to the ground, although she was not injured, her face was splashed with mud.

"It's too slippery." Han Qiaoer didn't cry, but laughed instead, "Fortunately, I left little fat pier at the foot of the mountain."

"I'll pull you up, and when you cross this hillside, you will see Brother Li..."

Gao Mingyue suddenly felt something, turned her head to look up the mountain, and immediately saw Li Xia.

She froze for a moment, already a little crazy...

~~
After exchanging greetings, a group of people headed towards the hillside again.

Gao Mingyue walked side by side with Li Xia, and asked impatiently, "Are you injured?"

"Don't worry, I'm not injured." Li Xia said, "Why are you here so soon? I counted the time, you should be out of the Taurus Way in three to five days."

Gao Mingyue was looking up at him stupidly, when she saw him turn around, she lowered her head hurriedly.

She thought for a while, and tugged at the corner of Li Xia's clothes.

"Ok?"

Li Xia leaned down, and felt her breath in her ears, and soft words rang out.

"Because... I wanted to see you soon, so I urged you."

"Why don't you send someone to tell me?"

"I know you're busy, on purpose..."

The two held hands.

Gao Mingyue had a medicine bottle in her sleeve, but she didn't take it out because Li Xia said she was not injured, and Li Xia put it in her arms when she held hands.

"A lot of people are watching."

"It rained yesterday, and the mountain road is not easy to walk."

Li Xia had already arranged a residence in the city, but Gao Mingyue didn't expect Gao Mingyue to come directly to this mountain.

The skirt she was wearing today was very beautiful, she must have dressed up specially for the meeting, but she was covered in mud, but she didn't say a word.

Thinking of this, Li Xia wanted to squat down and carry her on his back.

Without waiting for him to move, Gao Mingyue knew his intentions, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I have gone through even more difficult roads when I was fleeing."

After taking a big step forward, she turned her head and said, "Look, your wife is not a weak woman."

Gao Mingyue reunited after a year of separation after the wedding, Gao Mingyue was obviously extremely happy, her eyes brightened.

She came here to share joys and sorrows with Li Xia, and she would never cause any more trouble for him.

The only thing that upset me was that I didn't change into clothes that were convenient for climbing, because I was in a hurry and just wanted to see him soon...
