Chapter 224 Arriving in Longxi
at dusk.

Just as the Huben soldiers on the side of the Huqiang School's Lieutenant Department rushed to Huangzhong, the soldiers from Longxi and the soldiers who went to Zhao Chongguo had already returned.

Hearing the response from the Longxi Li family reported by them, Huo Shan was not surprised at all. It was a matter of course, so there was no surprise.

He had already expected in his heart that the Longxi Li family would definitely not refuse, not to mention that Huo Shan still has all the rights in the [-] counties in his hands, the situation has undergone a major change.

He only needs to arrange a random pretext to clean them up, and as for the subsequent impact, it will not be too big.

In the Junxun Group in Longxi, there is not only one Longxi Li family, everyone is afraid of death.

Now let's see if anyone else jumps out.

What puzzled Huo Shan the most was why the soldiers who went to look for Shangguan Jie hadn't come back yet?
Shangyu is very close to Ji County. Even if they speeded up their march, they still rested for a while during the day. It stands to reason that they should have rushed over?
It wasn't until midnight when Shangguan Jie and the soldiers who went looking for him came back that Huo Shan understood the clothes Shangguan Jie was wearing at this time.

At this time, Shangguan Jie was wearing a black dress with red stripes on the cuffs, and the patterns embroidered on the clothes looked very gorgeous.

This is exactly what to wear to a wedding in this era.

"Are you a Faun Ritual?"

Shangguan Jie nodded helplessly, Huo Shan was also a little helpless and embarrassed at the same time.

Calculated according to the time, this guy probably didn't even enter the bridal chamber, ruining the great things in his life, Huo Shan felt very embarrassed.

"Why didn't you notify me?"

Shangguan Jie spread his hands helplessly, and then briefly told Huo Shan.

Only after he returned home did he know that the family had told him about a marriage.

According to his parents, he might go to the battlefield one day, and if there is any accident, he will be the last one in the Shangguan family.

Moreover, Shangguan Jie felt that he was indeed not too young, so he put this matter on the agenda.

When he becomes a relative and has heirs, even if he died on the battlefield, he still has blood, and the position of marquis on his body can be inherited by others, and there is also a person who offers incense during the festival.

And Huo Shan couldn't catch up in Chang'an, Shangguan Jie didn't even notify Zhao Chongguo.

After listening, Huo Shan looked at him and sighed:

"Since you're here, go change your clothes and put on your armor. You will be promoted to Sima of another department, and you will be in charge of the Tiger and Cardinal Cavalry."

"The last general takes orders!"

"I didn't attend this evening ceremony, so it doesn't count. After this battle is over, I will hold a big one for you."

Shangguan Jie waved his hands again and again:

"It's all right, and I've already become a rite, so it's not ceremonial to do it again."

Huo Shan glanced at him:
"It's up to me whether it's proper or not, and what you say doesn't matter, get out!"

Shangguan Jie nodded helplessly:

"I will retire at the end."

After Shangguan Jie left, Huo Shan rolled his eyes, complaining in his heart that the soldiers sent by Sun Shang really don't have eyesight, so you can't wait until the matter is over before setting off this morning?

In fact, they really can't be blamed, they actually had the same idea as Huo Shan, but Shangguan Jie must have heard the news that Yishi's soldiers entered Shangyu City.

He was afraid of delaying time and delaying important matters, so he waited for a while after hearing the news, and set off immediately after the evening ceremony at dusk was completed.

According to the rules, you can't take off your clothes before going to bed, so you can only put them on. If it weren't for the fact that female relatives are not allowed in the army, the clothes would have to be taken off by the wife herself.

.........

On the evening of the [-]th, the army arrived outside the city of Longxi. The vanguard led by Zhao Puonu had already inspected the barracks, so as soon as the army arrived, they immediately entered the barracks that had been prepared.

When passing by the gate of the city, Huo Shan watched the officials of Longxi County standing at the gate ignore them, and led the army directly to the barracks.

A group of people had no choice but to follow the army to wait outside the camp.

Not only the officials of Longxi County, but also the big families and big families who are nearby.

After entering the barracks, Huo Shan got off his horse and turned around, followed by a group of people.

"Xu Ziwei!"

"The end is here!"

"Let the soldiers put away their horses, take care of their equipment, and then send out scouts to investigate and protect, and do all kinds of defensive things."

"The last general takes orders!"

"Zhong Gan, you and Zhao Puonu led the soldiers of the northern army to take over the food, grass, ingredients and water sources prepared by Longxi County, there must be no problem at all.

Then set up a pot to cook, let the soldiers have a good meal, and have a good rest tonight. "

"promise!"

Huo Shan stopped, looked at the already busy soldiers, turned around and walked outside the camp:

"Come on, go out and see."

Although Longxi County has arranged a lot of personnel, such as feeding horses and cooking, to deal with the logistics of the army.

But it is impossible for them to handle these things. It only needs a simple pack of medicine, and the army has to be spread here.

living comfortably without anybody's help.

Huo Shan walked out, chatting with Zhong Gan:
"Food and grass logistics, is the pot for cooking on the west side of the Taoshui River?"

"Return to my lord, that's right."

Huo Shan nodded, the military camp is not far from the bank of Taoshui River in the southwest of Longxi City, and it is convenient to get water there, so these things are naturally on the bank.

When he came outside the gate of the camp, Huo Shan blew a whistle, and Li Yu who was not far away ran over, Huo Shan got on his horse and walked over the waiting people to the shore.

Just when they were thinking about what they did that dissatisfied Huo Shan, Huo Shan said:

"Follow!"

A group of people got on their horses and hurriedly followed.

When he came to the shore, Huo Shan took advantage of the still dark sky to see many simple sheds and stoves by the river.

At intervals in this area, there is also a bonfire that has been lit for lighting.

Huo Shan waved behind him, Zhong Gan waved to the governor of Longxi County, and the governor of Longxi County immediately drove the horses past the guards and stepped forward:

"The governor of Longxi County pays homage to the prince."

Huo Shan nodded lightly:
"Well, are the food and supplies for the army that I asked you to prepare ready?"

"Back to Junhou, everything has been prepared, enough for two days."

"It's all here?"

"Hui Junhou, everything is here."

Huo Shan got off his horse and went to the shed where the grain was stored. The soldiers took down two bags and opened them in front of Huo Shan.

Huo Shan grabbed two handfuls, and rubbed the flour and the rice to look at it:
"The noodles are new wheat, and the rice is old rice?"

The governor of Longxi County thumped in his heart, and quickly saluted and replied:

"Hui Junhou, it's true, the new rice harvested this year and most of the new wheat were sent to Huqiang Station, leaving only enough for Longxi County's daily use until next year.

The minister opened the sealed warehouse without permission, and took the sealed grain to deal with the use of the army this time. "

Huo Shan threw the food back into the bag, patted his hands and nodded in satisfaction, then smiled at the governor of Longxi County and said:

"You've done a good job. You haven't kept to the rules. What I'm lacking is an official like you who dares to change at a critical moment."

The face of the governor of Longxi flushed instantly, and he was so excited that the other officials in the periphery stared at the governor of Longxi enviously after hearing Huo Shan's words.

"What else, let's talk about it together!"

"Returning to the Lord, the minister is guilty, the county government is short of manpower, the minister ordered the people to gather, according to the law of my great Han, the minister committed the crime of beheading."

Huo Shan waved his hand and said:
"Time is running out, the situation is urgent, this is a very good move, not to mention that since the Marquis stepped into this Longxi County, the [-]th County has entered a wartime.

In wartime, everything is based on war. This move is not only innocent, but also meritorious. "

"Thank you, Lord, for your understanding."

"What else?"

"Returning to Junhou, the [-] horses have not been assembled yet, two days is too short, we need to choose suitable horses, and we have to rush to Longxi City.

When the army came, only more than [-] were called.

But please rest assured, the horses will be assembled tomorrow morning. "

Huo Shan nodded, smiled and said:

"Tomorrow the army will stay for a day, and it will be enough to complete the call at this time tomorrow. Are the horses and food for the fifth day ready?"

"Returning to the army, you are ready."

"Well, what else?"

"Go back to Junhou, there is nothing else to do."

Huo Shan nodded in satisfaction. In two days, Longxi County had perfectly completed the task he had given him. It really deserves to be a frontier county that has been at war all year round. He couldn't be more satisfied.

"Han Zeng."

"The minister is here."

"Remember the merits, the leader of Longxi County is good, dare to take responsibility, and add three levels of merit.

The participating officials in Longxi performed effectively, adding one level of merit.

The people in Longxi acted out of righteousness, helped the army, and participated in the villagers rewarding a sheep with hundreds of dollars, and they were liquidated after the war. "

"promise."

"The minister is waiting to thank you for the reward."

Everyone was overjoyed, although the time was a bit tight, but this was their job, they didn't expect Huo Shan to be so generous, and there was a reward?

For them, this bonus can not only affect the three-year evaluation of officials, like the governor of Longxi County, who already has two thousand stones, and if they want to be promoted, they can only enter the imperial court.

But it is not so easy to enter the imperial court, so with the added merit this time, he is likely to be transferred from this bitter and cold frontier to become a sheriff in the fertile and large county of the Central Plains.

And this is only potential influence. After accumulating merit, it can be exchanged for the title. This is the point.

For civil servants like them, it is very difficult to be promoted to a title, so they are so overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, my Li family in Longxi and other big families have donated money and food, and they have helped a lot."

When Huo Shan heard his words, he turned his head and looked at the big households behind the officials:
"Where is the Li family in Longxi?"

"Back to the Lord, the minister is here."

A strong old man replied, and then ran over:

"The three elders of the western suburbs of Chen Longxi County, and the elder Li Qi of the Li clan in Longxi pay a visit to the lord."

He has the position of three elders, so he calls himself a minister.

The three elders are generally in charge of teaching and education, and are generally held by respected elders in the village. Although the official position is not big, they have a high status.

The big man ruled the country with filial piety, even if Liu Che saw them, he couldn't speak harshly, but he added another elder from the Li clan in Longxi, which naturally lowered himself.

"The big households in the two counties have old laborers. They are recorded in the register and they will be liquidated after the war. The outstanding ones will be rewarded with rewards, real nobles."

Although Li Qi felt very uncomfortable about this liquidation, he knew that if Huo Shan's words spread, the big households would probably go crazy.

Can you get a precious title by donating some money and food?
Then everyone will definitely go crazy, this is not Liu Che's martial arts master!
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will definitely arrange it properly."

Huo Shan nodded, then turned around again, checked the grain and grass, and a group of people followed. Huo Shan just turned around for a while, and saw a group of people from a distance.
