An ancient poem says: "The north wind blows the white grass in the ground, and snow falls in August..."

In Youzhou, the land of Daishuo, the wind and snow came very early. Although it was not as exaggerated as the flying snow in August, at the end of October, a sudden wind and snow forced all parties to stop fighting and retreat.

The hero Yelu, the hero of the remote chariot, and the traitor Yelu Shilu retreated sadly before the heavy storm came. He mobilized many troops and came ambitiously, but in the end he failed to get rid of the sand and lost his troops and returned with his generals. I am afraid that the mood of these two people is already terrible?

When I go back this time, I have to face the hungry tribes, young and old, and the nobles of various tribes full of hope. How can they explain to these people?

This time, when I went south, not only did I not rob the food, but I also left my father, husband and son on the battlefield. It was enough for these two people to have a headache.

Li Quanzhong, Li Kuanwei and his son also withdrew from Youzhou unhappily. Even without Zhu Li's night bull raid, they would not have been able to attack Fan Yang under the wind and snow. Countless war examples prove that raising troops in winter is definitely a thankless thing.

What's more, Zhu Li's night ox attack caused them to suffer heavy casualties and suddenly lost allies, completely shattering their father and son, taking advantage of the situation to rob Lu Long's ambitions. The future is long, and for them, the war has just begun.

After Li Quanzhong retreated, Shuozhou quickly sent a piece of silver, mainly to pay for the money to buy cattle, and Zhu Li promised the rewards of the soldiers of the Xiongwu Army. After the silver arrived, Zhu Li fulfilled his promise one by one and paid the owed money.

After Li Keju found out, he patted his shoulder gratefully. It was not that he could not take out the money, but that in Youzhou, he wanted money almost everywhere. He did not reach out to borrow money from Zhu Li, which was already very good.

Zhu Li wrote two letters, asking someone to pass it on to Gao Yuan and Zhang Guimu, and asked them to stay in Yue Pengju's tent for the time being. As for Li Hanzhi, let him continue to assist Gao Yuan. Gao Siji, Gao Mian, and Ergao's family, Zhu Li was going to take him to Shuozhou.

The Gao family still has three brothers, who are still under Li Quanzhong's command, and he is really worried that the Gao family's brothers will stay in Youzhou. What's more, even if the second Gao is loyal to Zhu Li, he can't let his brothers fight against each other, so how can he bear it?

After Fan Yang disturbed Li Keju for more than ten days, after Ergao and their family arrived one after another, Zhu Li decided to return to Shuozhou. Their travelers were accompanied by five thousand war horses, more than ten thousand Xi captives, as well as Mrs. Yuchi, and some of Li Keju's relatives, followed Zhu Li away from Fan Yang and headed to Shuozhou.

It can be foreseeable that Youzhou will inevitably become a place of right and wrong in the coming year, and war will not be eliminated. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just fear that if it is Li Keju or Zhu Li, you have to consider it early. If there is a real crisis, it will be difficult to relocate these people.

In the three years of Zhonghe, when the wind and snow swept across the north, they slowly came to an end.

This year, many big things have happened.

But there are two most meaningful major events: one is that Huang Chao collapsed and withdrew from the stage of history; the second major event is that Emperor Xizong was lucky enough to end Shu and returned to Chang'an.

However, for the people in Heshuo area, the biggest thing is that the guardian saint in their minds, General Zhu Li, was finally rehabilitated. From then on, the people in Heshuo area will no longer be called a rebellious person.

The benefits of Zhu Li being rehabilitated are obvious. As soon as he returned to Shuozhou, he heard Guo Qizuo and Guo Chongtao talk about recent news.

With Zhu Li being the third-rank general twice, now she has restrained more than ten prefectures in Heshuo. After being rehabilitated, a large number of scholars flocked to Heshuo to make Heshuo's

Dazhi laid a solid foundation.

Until now, Heshuo is still the only area in the late Tang Dynasty, with both civil and military importance.

Scholars can't make it anywhere else, or those who are not doing well, are all miserable, come to Heshuo.

The arrival of high-level literati naturally also includes some well-educated and capable people.

For example, there is a guy named Luo Yin who is very famous among scholars, known as "the most outstanding person in the tenth grade".

In other words, this person took the exam and took the exam more than ten times, but failed the exam. If it were normal, he should be a talentless person, but now it is the late Tang Dynasty, and Guo Qizuo has not passed the exam, so it is not surprising that others can't pass the exam.

Luo Yin is very talented. The famous "Slander Book" and "Taiping Liang Tongshu" were compiled by him. He tried to extract a set of "Taiping and Rescue Art" for people all over the world to help the world and the people, and is affiliated with the Taoist Huang-Lao thought.

Luo Yin is not young anymore and is over the age of knowing his destiny. After Zhu Li comes back, he directly sent him to Hetao and serves as the governor of Shengzhou.

In addition to Luo Yin, there is another person who is also very talented, and this person is Wei Zhuang.

According to historical records, this person once served as the prime minister of the former Shu, and his representative works include "Huanhua Collection" and "The Song of the Qin Women".

However, in history, he became famous relatively late. If he developed normally, he would not be able to show his talents until ten years later. Now he is also a miserable scholar who failed many exams.

He is also quite old, and he is only one or two years away from his age to know his destiny.

The Heshuo area valued literati. In this era, almost all scholars have heard such news more or less. They didn’t come before because Zhu Li was a traitor and surrendering to him was a traitor. Who would like to come?

But now Zhu Li has been rehabilitated and has once again served as a general of the third rank. The last psychological barrier to stop the literati from going north and eliminated it invisibly. Is there anything else that can stop the literati from going north?

If there is a capable person, he must use it, otherwise the natural resources will be wasted. Zhu Li will not be vague and will also send him to Hetao to serve as the governor of Youzhou to share the pressure of Wang Jing and Yan Keqiu.

After all, there are a few and most literati who are famous and talented, but they can be divided into big or small as they reach.

Guo Qizuo and Guo Chongtao rushed to formulate the assessment content. If these literati want to be selected, they must participate in the assessment. As long as they meet the standards, they can take office immediately.

The trend of literati going north became increasingly intense in the autumn and winter season of Zhonghe, which also led to long-term and ambitious other heroes who began to pay attention to literati.

First, Yang Xingmi from Huainan recruited talents, and calmed down the loss of well-educated scholars in Huainan with the heart of literati. Then, Zhu Quanzhong from Henan, began to restore the normal literati examination procedures under the suggestion of Jingxiang and others.

In the end, even Li Keyong, a native of Shatuo, began to resume the provincial examination and county examination procedures under the advice of Wu Gong and others. The national emphasis on literature was very prosperous, and he gave the evil wind that was valued by martial arts in the late Tang Dynasty and gave a heavy hammer.

But in general, these people were still one step too late to start. When they panic and recovered all the procedures almost the same, the assessment in Heshuo area had been completed. Many county magistrates and assistants at the county magistrate level were ready to do something big.

Especially those who came from poor families who stood out in this assessment were even more excited and full of confidence.

The biggest gain brought by Zhu Li's rehabilitation was that the gap between county-level literati in Heshuo area was basically supplemented and completed.

Heshuoji

The most exciting person is Wang Jing, Yan Keqiu and Guo Chongtao. These three people have been busy for the past few years and have no fun in their sleep. Now they can finally get off the ground and have time to go home to tease their wives.

The wind and snow bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year with high spirits.

In the third year of Zhonghe, amid the laughter and joy of the people of Heshuo and the regrets of the vassal states in various places, Emperor Xizong gradually lost his body and was still irresistible and stubborn. He finally returned to the past.

In the fourth year of Zhonghe, when the military and political affairs of Heshuo were on normal track, they came unknowingly.

In February, Zhuge Shuang, the governor of Heyang, first supported Meng Fangli, the governor of Zhaoyi, and then stationed troops in Zezhou, and became eyeing the Hedong army.

Han Jin, who was named Yuchi Jin, was the commander of the Hedong Army East Advance, and led the Hedong Army to attack Shangdang. When he heard that Zhuge Shuang was deliberately involved in the war, he had to station troops in Shangdang and did not dare to act rashly.

In the same month, Wang Chongrong, who entered Hezhong, reached a settlement with Gao Su in the Hetao area, and the two sides canceled the tense state of confrontation. Wang Chongrong turned his finger and immediately took advantage of the confrontation between Li Keyong, Meng Fangli, and Zhuge Shuang, and easily captured the two states of Pu and Jiang. These two states were originally subject to the restraint of the Hezhong Jiedushi, and now they finally belonged to him with justification.

Wang Chongrong's sudden change of strategy made his brother Wang Chongying, the governor of Bining Jieshi, ease his attitude towards Hetao a lot. The agreement between the two sides only symbolically stationed some troops on the border.

Standing on the standpoint of Wang Chongying and Wang Chongrong’s brothers, Zhu Li, the actual controller of Hetao, has now been rehabilitated. Now that they are both ministers of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to confront each other nervously like before.

To the south of Hetao, only the governor of the Fuyan Jiedushi Zhu Mei is still aggressive, but she has no choice but to be helpless. She can't support herself and can no longer pose a threat to Hetao.

In early March, the Xuzhou Jiedushi Han Zhi claimed that Yicheng Jiedushi Wang Jingwu was a remnant of Huang Chao. He expelled Yuan Yicheng Jiedushi An Shiru, who was ungrateful and abandoned by the world. Such a person was not worthy of becoming Jiedushi.

In anger, Han Zhi issued a slogan, calling on the warlords of the world to fight against the governor of Yicheng Wang Jingwu.

The day after the manifesto was issued, Han Zhi immediately sent his generals Yang Shihou, Chen Gong, Xu Kan and others to lead 40,000 troops to attack Jeju, and advance eastward, heading to Jeju, Qizhou, and Zizhou to attack Qingzhou, with speed so fast that it was so dazzling that it was shocking.

This is not a righteous indignation attack, it is simply a long-planned attempt.

In the same month, Yang Xingmi, the governor of Huainan, sent generals Tian Fu and An Renyi to send troops to Xuanzhou to wipe out the rebel Bi Shiduo, Zheng Hanzhang and others.

In the middle of the month, the Caizhou bandit Qin Zongquan captured Xuzhou. While sending bandit generals Sun Ru, Yin Tielin, Shi Junhe flew around Zhouxian, while gathering troops to attack Chenzhou. Zhu Quanzhong rushed to fight and collapsed thousands of miles away. Chenzhou was about to be unable to save it.

At the end of March, Chen Jingxuan, the governor of Xichuan, was beaten by Li Sigong and Yang Shili, and suffered a lot of troops and generals. In the shortage of military resources, he had to write a letter to Quan Huan Tian Lingzi, asking him, the eunuch brother, to help him think of a solution.

Tian Lingzi received a letter from his elder brother and realized the seriousness of the matter. He urgently plundered the people's fat and ointment to support his brother. However, at this time, he discovered that Wang Chongrong in the river owned a salt pond. With this salt pond, Wang Chongrong was rich recently.
