"If the general knows the outcome of everything, wouldn't it be boring to live like this? Besides, secrets are not static!"

"It seems to make sense!" Zhao Junsheng nodded.

Walking around on the street, Zhao Junsheng suddenly saw a familiar figure.

The familiar figure just turned around at this time, and both of them stopped moving when they looked at each other.

Dongfang Chen looked at it and said with interest: "General, Pindao is addicted to alcohol. There is a tavern in front of him. If Pindao goes to have a drink or two, he will not accompany the general!" After saying that, he cupped his hands and left.

"I'll find you later!"

Zhao Junsheng said something, watched Dongfang Chen leave, and then walked to a familiar person: "What a coincidence, Miss is also shopping?"

Wan Yutong was a little at a loss, never expecting to run into Zhao Junsheng on the street, "Come out for a walk when you're bored at home, why are you in Pingcheng?"

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "The emperor ordered me to call, so I have to come!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Junsheng looked around and said to Wan Yutong, "Let's just walk around!"

"it is good!"

The two walked side by side among the passing pedestrians.

"I heard about the death of Mulan's father. Is she okay?" Wan Yutong asked.

Zhao Junsheng said: "It's okay! Where are you and General Wan?"

"We are all fine, but my father is busy with military affairs, and most of his time is spent on military affairs... I heard that your wedding with Mulan has been postponed because she will be in mourning!"

Zhao Junsheng didn't expect Wan Yutong to be following his and Hua Mulan's news from such a long distance.

"Well, yes...Miss, I...I'm afraid I will disappoint your affection in this life. You...should have found a good man to marry earlier. If you have After losing my husband and baby, I will definitely forget me, and my heart will not be so painful!"

Wan Yutong stopped and turned to face Zhao Junsheng, "How do you know that I feel uncomfortable? On the contrary, I always think about someone in my heart. As long as he lives well, this feeling is very good!"

Chapter 444 No one is a good stubble

Zi Feiyu, know the joy of fish?

Wan Dugui was immersed in her own world, she said that she was content and felt very good, without the pain that Zhao Junsheng was worried about, what else could he say?

"My family opened a tailor shop in Pingcheng, using the needlework skills you taught me to cut and sew clothes. Now the business is very good. Many wives and ladies of princes and nobles in Pingcheng come to make clothes here. My family can support themselves. In my spare time, I can write poems and recite Buddhist scriptures, which is very good!"

Taiwu Emperor Tuobatao once issued an edict to exterminate Buddhism, and many monks were killed when they resisted. When he was still in power, not many people dared to believe in Buddhism, and no one dared to chant sutras in private. After his death, the government was extinguished. There are many folk rumors that Emperor Taiwu received retribution just because he issued an edict to destroy Buddhism.

Zhao Junsheng was really happy for Wan Yutong to be self-reliant. He looked at Wan Yutong and sighed: "If you really feel that the current state is not painful and uncomfortable, but happy and content, I can't persuade you anymore. I'm just worried that if you don't find your in-law's family, you will become a leftover woman in a few years, and in the final analysis, your youth will be delayed because of me!"

"Leftover women?" Wan Yutong was puzzled.

Zhao Junsheng touched his face in embarrassment, "It's just a woman who has not yet found her husband's family. As she gets older, it becomes more and more difficult to get married. General Wan can't be with you all your life, he There will always be a day when you grow old, I am worried that you will trap yourself in this relationship and end up alone and helpless!"

Wan Yutong smiled sweetly, "Physically suffering and suffering, ordinary food and drink are not considered hardships. For the slave family, as long as the heart feels happy, it is good. The slave family's heart is only so big, and it can't accommodate other people. The slave family wants to keep going. Can't you keep this beauty..."

The pursuit of spiritual life by the ancients is even worse than the pursuit of material life!

Zhao Junsheng sighed in his heart, "Of course...you can! I may go to Youzhou to take office in a few days, and the emperor intends to let me be the governor of Youzhou."

"Really? That's pretty good. On the day you left, my family almost didn't go to see you off. I was worried that if I couldn't control myself, I would follow you to Youzhou."

Zhao Junsheng couldn't answer this question, so he could only change the subject, "According to the emperor's opinion, Mulan may be transferred to Pingcheng to take up a post. Then you can move around more!"

Wan Yutong showed a slight smile on his face, "That's good too. With Mulan in Pingcheng, no one will dare to bully my family in the future!"

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but smile, "If she doesn't come to Pingcheng, ordinary people wouldn't dare to bully you. Who would dare to bully the daughter of General Wan?"

At dusk, Zhao Junsheng brought Wan Yutong to the door of his house, and he didn't turn back to the post until she walked into the house reluctantly.

In the morning of the next day, the emperor sent someone to formally announce his decree, appointing him as the governor of Youzhou with Marquis Yunzhong and General Pingbei, and set off for Youzhou to take up the post within three days.

At this time, Youzhou and Youzhou in the Han Dynasty had a greatly reduced area of ​​jurisdiction. Youzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty had only Yan County, Yuyang County and Fanyang County, a total of three counties and ten counties.

As a frontier state, the governor's rights are much greater than those of the inland states, not only in charge of the army, but also in civil affairs and finance, which is almost the same as that of the governor of the Tang Dynasty.

The levels of states and towns are the same. The establishment of towns and prefectures in an area depends on the situation. There are fewer people under the jurisdiction, and they are all military households. Towns are set up to serve the military; Ordinary people who need to pay taxes must set up states and focus on civil affairs.

After sending away the eunuch who announced the decree, Zhao Junsheng recruited Guo Yi and said: "Take your spies and go to Youzhou first, and set off this afternoon. Your task is to separate Youzhou and the city outside the Great Wall before you arrive in Youzhou. Find out the situation of Ku Moxi and Beiyan, and focus on the interior of Youzhou first!"

"Obey!" Guo Yi clasped his fists in agreement, turned around and went out to prepare.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Junsheng called Gao Xu over, "Gao Xu, I want you to go back to Wuchuan Town and take our original squad of cavalry from the caravan to Youzhou, and go in the name of the caravan." Beyond the Great Wall, don’t take the route inside the Great Wall!”

high

Xu asked: "We used to have nearly [-] infantry and cavalry. You asked Xue An to take [-] to Yongzhou, and there are about [-] left. How many troops should we bring this time?"

"The situation in Youzhou is complicated. Let's take 4000 people. The remaining 3000 people are reserved for Gao Xiu to deal with emergencies. He has more than 5000 new recruits, plus the remaining [-] veterans, a total of [-] people. Enough for him to deal with any situation, you should rest well today, set off early tomorrow morning, and bring me a letter to Mulan when you leave!"

"Yes, General!"

On the morning of the second day after Gao Xu left, Zhao Junsheng also set off towards Youzhou with Cao Jiao, Pei Jin, Dongfang Chen and a hundred or so bodyguard cavalry.

On the morning of the departure, shortly after Zhao Junsheng and others left the city, a carriage appeared at the gate of the city, and a beautiful woman was sitting in the carriage. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and silently watched Zhao Junsheng lead the team away.

On the city wall above the carriage, a female general in armor appeared. She was wearing a helmet with red feathers on her head, and holding a sword in her hand, she watched Zhao Junsheng and his team disappear into the sky.

The distance from Pingcheng to Youzhou is longer than the distance from Pingcheng to Wuchuan Town. When Gao Xu rushed back to Wuchuan Town with Zhao Junsheng's letter, Zhao Junsheng and his party had just entered the boundary of Fanyang County.

"General Hua, this is a letter that General Zhao asked his subordinates to bring to you!" In the lobby of the town guard's mansion in Wuchuan Town, Gao Xu took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan took the letter and asked, "How is he doing in Pingcheng? Are you back this time?"

Gao Xu said: "The general and the others are fine. When the subordinate left Pingcheng and returned, the general had not set off for Youzhou. The subordinate estimated that they had almost entered the boundary of Fanyang! The subordinate was ordered by the general to return. , the general has written the details in the letter, General Hua will know it at a glance!"

Hua Mulan opened the letter and looked at it. Zhao Junsheng explained everything that should be explained clearly in the letter. In addition to letting Gao Xu take away the four thousand cavalry, he also said about Hua Yuan and his brother-in-law Hua Xiong. From my point of view, I think it is more appropriate to leave my mother-in-law and brother-in-law in Wuchuan Town.

Hua Mulan pondered for a moment after reading the letter, and ordered: "Come on, call Vice-General Gao!"

Not long after, Gao Xiu, who was wearing a helmet, came in, clasped his fists and said, "General, your name is subordinate?"

Hua Mulan nodded and said: "General Zhao has sent a letter. The situation in Youzhou is complicated. He ordered you to gather 4000 troops from the caravan guards and hand them to Gao Xu to take them away. All of them will be cavalry, and the remaining 3000 people will be left to you." !"

"Obey!" Gao Xiu then turned and wanted to leave.

Hua Mulan called him to stop: "Wait a minute, General Zhao sent a letter saying that after a while, the emperor will most likely transfer this general to Pingcheng, and he has already recommended you to the emperor to take over the post of general of Wuchuan, and the emperor has already agreed. If there is no accident, you will be in charge of this Wuchuan town in the future, and the family business we left behind will need you to protect it. If there is a problem with the business here, our original military expenditure of more than 1 soldiers will have no source of military expenditure! "

Gao Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately cupped his fists and said, "General, don't worry, as long as your subordinates are still in Wuchuan Town, no one will dare to touch our business!"

Two days later, Gao Xu set off from Wuchuan Town with 5000 cavalry and more than [-] horses, crossed the Great Wall and headed east to Youzhou.
