Chapter 728: Another General
When Lu Songli and his party took a break, the spies in front and behind reported back that they had found no trace of the Dali army or the Xianbei army.
"Governor, Hedong is just ahead." You know, once they enter Hedong, they will be in Pingzhou and they will be safe.
"No assassination?" The soldiers looked at each other. You know, they were all ready for battle at any time.
Qin Heng had anticipated this outcome. Hadn't their display during the military exercises on the third day of the peace talks been enough to demonstrate their strength? The Dali and Xianbei weren't fools; how could they dare set up an ambush?
A young general expressed Qin Heng's thoughts, "The main reason is that the strength we showed was too strong, so they didn't dare to come." Not to mention that they still have explosives in Pingzhou. Although there is not much in stock now, the enemy doesn't know about it.
The soldiers were discussing whether the ambush by the Dali and Xianbei would come and when.
Civil officials were also discussing the newly established free trade zones in Dali, Pingzhou and Xianbei.
"What do Dali and Xianbei want to do with this Qing, Yan, and Xu Free Trade Zone?"
It's no wonder that the civil servants made such guesses. The main reason is that this free trade zone was strongly advocated and promoted by Dali and Xianbei. It would be strange if there was no trick.
Lu Songli said, "Don't worry about them. Let's take care of ourselves first! This Three-State Free Trade Zone has great potential. After we return, have someone re-plan Qingzhou and arrange for manpower and supplies to be stationed in Qingzhou."
The civil servants looked at each other and answered in unison, "Yes."
Lu Songli was also thinking about how to make plans. After this war, there would probably be a few years of peace. After all, all three parties needed to recuperate.
When there is no war, it is the beginning of economic and political struggle.
This time, Pingzhou will use Qingzhou as its base and the Three States Free Trade Zone as its fulcrum to leverage the entire economy of Dali and Xianbei, and then reap the benefits from them.
…
Over there, after Lü Songli and Tuoba Duoji left with their subordinates, Song Mo, the Emperor of Dali, also slowly moved towards Chang'an. However, Song Mo was drowsy on the whole way back and was not awake for many moments.
Lin Ran guarded him closely throughout the whole process, and the imperial physician was inseparable from him. It can be said that Song Mo was basically just keeping himself alive with good medicine.
At this time, a military district in Pingzhou
Wei Kuang came out of the house to get some fresh air.
In recent days, he has been writing military books and strategies in his simple house. After a few days of writing, he finally finished the rough draft.
Looking at the blue brick and tile houses where ordinary people lived, Wei Kuang didn't know what to say.
The place of Pingzhou has developed very well under the leadership of Lu Songli.
It can be said that the first time he got off the boat, he was deeply shocked by the Pingzhou dock. Later, along the way, he witnessed the prosperity of Pingzhou.
After resting for a while, he went back to the house and touched up the color a little more, and it was almost done.
The knowledge in this military book was written to be as simple and easy to understand as possible, which was different from the military books he had seen before, so it was a bit troublesome.
Pingzhou also had many military books written by military strategists. When he first started writing, he asked for reference from other military books, so Xue Xu had them delivered to him.
After flipping through them, he found that these military books explained the art of war in a very easy-to-understand manner. They recorded the experiences and rules formed in every battle. He even asked Xue Xu, "Who wrote these military books?"
Xue Xu introduced them to him like a treasure, "These two books were written by several generals of the Qin family, this one was written by generals of the Sun family, and this one..."
War is a matter of great importance to a state and must be carefully considered.
Lu Songli believes that war is a science that needs to be studied and passed on, and that experiences and lessons learned need to be summarized and summarized in a timely manner.
Therefore, it was suggested that Qin Heng summarize the Qin family's military tactics and describe them in as simple and understandable language as possible, so that even the lower-level military officers could understand and apply what they learned.
When Wei Kuang first read it, he felt that the military strategies in it were very familiar. After listening to Xue Xu's words, he felt that these military books were very difficult to handle, but he was very eager to take a look at them.
Later, when Wei Kuang learned that these military books were only circulated among the generals within Pingzhou, he touched his nose guiltily because he was not an internal general of Pingzhou.
After Wei Kuang handed in his military manual, he was idle for two days when a centurion came to him and asked, "General Wei, could you please train the new troops?"
Wei Kuang: No, didn't Xue Xu say before that he was only asked to write a military book? Now that he has written it, he is still asked to lead the troops in training? How can he be so unreasonable?
Seeing him hesitate, the junior officer urged him, "General Wei, you'd better go and take a look. No one else can understand the military strategy you wrote."
Wei Kuang was skeptical. He had written it based on the military books given to him by Pingzhou. They were not very complicated. How could the general in charge of teaching not understand it?
Thinking of his family, Wei Kuang hardened his heart and refused, "I am a general of Dali, and I will not teach the new army of Pingzhou."
Xue Xu, who happened to be coming over, overheard this and immediately said, "General Wei, go and teach him. Since you taught him, and we don't reveal your name to the soldiers, it won't count as your teaching, Wei Kuang."
Wei Kuang: ...
Xue Xu then continued, "I was just kidding. General Wei, go ahead and teach. Our governor has sent a letter saying that the peace talks in Hancheng have concluded. The governor has proposed to the Emperor of Dali to bring your family over, and he has agreed."
Wei Kuang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really? Mr. Xue, you didn't lie to me?"
"How could such a big thing deceive you?"
Wei Kuang believed it, it must be true.
He immediately said, "I will go to lead the troops for training immediately!" Who wants to die when they can live? It would be great if his family could really come to Pingzhou to reunite. It was all thanks to Lu Songli.
Xue Xu looked at his back, smiled but said nothing. Now they had another great general in Pingzhou.
…
Xie Zhan, who was far away in the south, looked at the letter in his hand expressionlessly. The letter told the results of the Hancheng peace talks.
Just as he expected, even if Song Mo wanted to take him on, the result of the negotiations did not exceed his expectations.
It can even be said that the current negotiation results are lower than expected, and Dali and Xianbei have not gained any advantage in Pingzhou.
Xie Zhan finished reading the letter and burned it.
It's normal that Song Mo couldn't figure out Lu Songli.
Song Mo, ah, Song Mo, now you know how difficult Lu Songli is to deal with, right?
Now it depends on whether the aristocratic families can turn the tables in this free trade zone.
