In the long history, Dunhuang County has always been a special existence. In the era when Hexi fell in the late Han Dynasty, or when the five chaos in the middle of Jin Dynasty, Dunhuang County has always been loyal to the central court and became an enclave of the Central Plains Dynasty in the Western Regions.

Even if Tubo captured Hexi and the Western Regions, Dunhuang was still the first to revolt and belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Until Li Yuanhao captured Dunhuang City in Xixia, Dunhuang had always been a county of the Central Plains Dynasty, standing on the border of the Western Regions.

Although Ma Chao's forces had gradually controlled Hexi, Dunhuang County was not under his control. General Ma Dai led [-] Han troops to retreat to Dunhuang County, which was not controlled by Ma Chao.

Ma Chao has always hoped that his brother can become his right-hand man like he did against Cao Cao before, but this time he was disappointed. Ma Dai resolutely refused to betray Liu Jing and Han Guo. In the end, Ma Chao had no choice but to transfer him to Dunhuang County as the The captain of Dunhuang, and sent a large number of patrols along the way to cut off the connection between Ma Dai and Chang'an.

Even businessmen traveling to and from the Western Regions were not allowed to take the Dunhuang line. Although the news was blocked, Ma Dai still let Li Wen send the news of Ma Chao's upcoming rebellion to Chang'an through the opportunity of Bo Li Wen's funeral in Longxi.

As time passed day by day, Ma Dai had no more news from Chang'an. He waited patiently, knowing that at least there would be news from Ma Chao.

At noon that day, a patrol team of the Han army came from the south and brought three cavalrymen to the barracks outside Dunhuang City. At this time, Ma Dai was training soldiers in the barracks. Kneeling down, he said, "General, the patrol has something important to report."

"Bring them over!"

After a while, several patrolmen came quickly, and Ma Dai saw the three Han soldiers behind them. He couldn't help being startled, and quickly went up to him and asked, "Who are they?"

The sentry soldiers bowed and reported: "General Qi, they came from Nanshan, and they came here to deliver a letter under the order of General Pound."

Nanshan is also Qilian Mountain, that is, coming from the south of Qilian Mountain, there is the Qinghai Plateau, there are herdsmen often come from there, but it is very difficult for the Central Plains people, the terrain is too high, breathing is difficult, and they are easy to fall ill. Moreover, there are a lot of wolves on the plateau, if you don't pay attention, you will lose your life. Ma Dai didn't think about that line, and he didn't expect that Pang De sent someone to go around. Ma Dai couldn't help being overjoyed, and stepped forward and asked: " Are you all General Pang's subordinates?"

The leading cavalryman smiled and said, "The general doesn't know us anymore?"

Ma Dai took a closer look, and immediately recognized the three of them. They were the cavalry subordinates he trained back then. Ma Dai also laughed, "It turned out to be you. Come to the big tent."

Ma Dai brought three cavalrymen to the big tent. He sat them down and ordered hot soup to be delivered. Ma Dai hurriedly asked, "General Pang, what news do you have for me?"

The leading soldier took out a letter and handed it to Ma Dai, "This is the letter General Pang asked us to bring to the General."

Ma Dai took the letter and opened it, he was stunned for a moment, it was not a letter from Pang De to himself, but a letter written by His Royal Highness the King of Han, he read it carefully, in the letter the King of Han rewarded him for his loyalty and sealed him As the Marquis of Dunhuang, he was asked to prepare the army, first defend Dunhuang City, and then wait for an opportunity to cooperate with the main force of the Han army to fight.

Ma Dai was moved in his heart, he understood His Royal Highness' painstaking efforts, he couldn't bear to turn himself against brothers Ma Chao, so he let himself keep Dunhuang City first, Ma Dai sighed secretly, he really didn't understand why his brother was so ambitious, he must realize that unrealistic actual dream.

"Where is General Pang now?"

"Reporting to General, the Eagle Strike Army has captured the Dadouba Valley. General Pang is now leading his cavalry to camp at the entrance of the valley, waiting for the order of the King of Han."

Ma Dai nodded, and asked again: "General Pang asks you to go back and return?"

"There is no such requirement."

"In this case, you stay in Dunhuang and wait for the opportunity with me."

..........

The biggest task of Zhang Ji's mission was to buy time for the Han army. First, the Han army wanted to withdraw the officials and Han people from Hexi to save them from the disaster of war. In fact, the Han army needed time to prepare for war.

Although Liu Jing did not intend to spend nearly a year like the Battle of Hefei, and the Han Kingdom did not have such a large financial support, the necessary preparations for battle must not be omitted. Liu Jing has experienced many battles, and he knows that the key to the victory of a battle is very To a large extent, it depends on whether the battle preparation is sufficient. Even if he ends the battle in a day, he will spend a month to prepare.

The logistics of the war were mainly placed in Jincheng County, which is later known as Lanzhou. It is close to the Yellow River and the transportation is convenient. The fleet transporting food and materials departs from Chang'an, passes through the Weihe River to the Yellow River, and finally transports to Jincheng County.

The army also assembled in Jincheng County. This time, the Han army had to deal with the Qiangdi cavalry and a mysterious Guishuang army. Liu Jing also made up his mind to use this battle to completely transform Hexi.

A fleet of cargo ships full of food and supplies left Chang'an and headed for Jincheng County in a mighty manner, starting intensive battle preparations.

But Liu Jing came to Lingzhou to inspect the immigration situation in Lingzhou. According to the deployment of Pingzhangtai, Chang'an dispatched [-] Tai students and hundreds of officials to Lingzhou to assist the Lingzhou government to resettle the immigrants.

Liu Jing did not come to Lingzhou alone, this time he brought Sun Shangxiang with him, as early as a few years ago, he took Sun Shangxiang to inspect Hanzhong, Sun Shangxiang was smart and capable, and brought great help to his inspection.

But the more important reason was that he wanted to bring Sun Shangxiang to relax. Although Sun Shangxiang refused to mention Jiangdong's affairs and stopped pleading for his brother, Liu Jing could see that she was really in a bad mood. Reduce the depression and depression in her heart.

Lingzhou was renamed Shuofang County last year. Shuofang's economic envoy is Tao Zheng. He has been in office for more than a year. Under his governance, the permanent population of Shuofang has gradually increased from more than 5000 to [-]. Most of them are refugees who escaped from Hedong and settled down in Shuofang.

This time, the Han Dynasty migrated a large number of Han people from Hexi and Central Plains to Shuofang County, which greatly increased the population of Shuofang County, and at the same time brought commercial prosperity and a large amount of goods arrived at Shuofang Wharf.

This made Tao Zheng very busy, and it was difficult for him to go back to the city for a few days and nights to rest. Fortunately, many students and officials came, so that he was not exhausted, and he finally took a breath. At this moment, he Hearing the news of Han Wang Liu Jing's arrival, he rushed to see him.

Tens of thousands of tents are scattered on an open space covering tens of hectares outside Lingzhou City. These tents are temporary homes for immigrants. Almost every household has a tent, and the government also distributes five sheepskins to each household. and an army blanket.

Most of the immigrants brought simple furniture, bedding, pots, pots, pots and other daily necessities. In addition, there were official supplies of food, salt and meat, which made the people's hearts stable and the living area orderly.

When Liu Jing arrived, many people had already migrated, making the huge living area extremely lively, every household was busy, women were sorting out their belongings in the tent, men were going to register in the office area, and groups of children were busy. Running and playing in the tent, occasionally a peddler carrying a load of loads would appear, and was immediately surrounded by women.

Sun Shangxiang followed her husband all the way north, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, and her mood gradually became brighter. After entering Shuofang County, she finally started talking and laughing.

This is the result of Liu Jing's hope. He doesn't want to talk about Jiangdong's affairs with Sun Shangxiang. He hopes that Sun Shangxiang can untie this knot by himself. It seems that when he took her to the West Market, she has recovered a lot, although she is still a little depressed. , but as long as she goes out for a walk, her mood will improve.

At this time, Sun Shangxiang saw the huge group of tents through the car window, and she was a little stunned. She quickly pulled Liu Jing over and asked, "Fu Lang, where is this?"

Liu Jing looked at it and said with a smile: "This is just outside Lingzhou City. These tents are for resettling immigrants from Hexi and Central Plains. I estimate that at least 20 people will come. This should be only a part of it."

"There are 20 people!" Sun Shangxiang exclaimed, and then said to himself: "It is estimated that many people will come from Jiangdong."

"There are also many fugitives in Jiangdong, but most of them are concentrated in Jingzhou. There are also some in Guanzhong and Chang'an. There are about [-] people. This time, they moved to Lingzhou. There are not many people in Jiangdong. The main reason is the climate. It is difficult for them to adapt to the winter here."

"Yeah! They will all go back eventually, who wants to leave their hometown?"

Sun Shangxiang whispered, her mood seemed to be a little depressed again, Liu Jing hugged her shoulder and said with a smile: "Cheer up, you will follow me to visit the victims later, I need you to embody the image of the princess."

Sun Shangxiang rolled his eyes at him, and muttered, "Your concubine is in Chang'an! I'm not."

Having said that, Sun Shangxiang still took out the bronze mirror, took a look at her own face and hair, and then said with a smile: "Let's say it first, I can only be wronged for a day, this time I came out to relax, not to be yours maid."

"That's one day!"

The carriage stopped slowly in front of the gate of the camp. Liu Jing got out of the carriage first, then took Sun Shangxiang's hand, and slowly led her down. A group of high-ranking military and political officials had already been waiting here, including Shangshu Dong He, Jinglue envoy Tao Zheng, Ling Liao Hua, the governor of the state, and Du Ji and other officials who were withdrawn from Hexi.

Seeing the King of Han and Princess Wang get out of the carriage, they came up to salute together, "See Your Highness King Han, see Princess Wang!"

Liu Jing nodded and said with a smile: "It's been hard work for everyone during this period, I don't know how it's going?"

Dong He is the leader of this emigration, he replied: "Everything is going well, please come in and talk about it in detail, Your Highness."

Surrounded by everyone, Liu Jing and Sun Shangxiang walked into the business area. There are hundreds of large tents, most of which are warehouses, and are closely guarded by soldiers. They are mainly responsible for registering immigrants and solving immigration difficulties, as well as food relief and handling land deeds. .

In front of several large tents, there was a line of people who came to register. Most of them were young and strong men. After household registration, you can get a land deed card, and soon you can participate in the distribution of land, which is related to everyone. For all immigrants, this is the most important thing. The first thing for every new immigrant is to register for household registration.

Sun Shangxiang followed Liu Jing and passed by the large group of registered immigrants. At this moment, a thin young man came out of the big tent in a hurry. Sun Shangxiang recognized him, and couldn't help but startled, "Why did you come to Lingzhou?"
