Chapter 221
Chapter 221
Jin Chengye of Jeju suddenly attacked the North. Although it caught the North by surprise, fortunately it did not cause much damage.
More importantly, this in disguise gave the North a state of territory, and Long Tian did not have to bear the infamy. It was simply too perfect.
Long Tian brought Jin Chengye back to Zhenbei City and found a mansion to settle him.
Long Tian did not restrict Jin Chengye's activities and treated him as an ordinary old man, but the monitoring of the shadow was indispensable.
If Jin Chengye knew what was good for him and was content to be a rich man, he would live a worry-free life in this life. If he had other ideas or actions, the shadow would handle it, and Long Tian would not be involved at that time.
After Wang Jian was ordered to take over the Jeju Army, he immediately mobilized a large amount of food from Zhenbei City to ensure their lives, and at the same time made a guarantee that as long as they joined the Zhenbei Army, everyone would be treated equally.
If someone did not want to, they could leave on their own.
Jeju is adjacent to the North. The Jeju soldiers have heard about the North. Knowing that the Zhenbei Army is willing to accept them and not regard them as prisoners of war, they are naturally ecstatic and join the Zhenbei Army.
Even the generals of Jeju joined the Zhenbei Army without any hesitation.
When Jin Chengye learned about these situations, he couldn't help but sigh. He thought he was in control of Jeju, but he didn't expect his subordinates to betray him so easily.
So far, Jin Chengye has given up. His failure as a person has determined that there is no future. It is better to watch his daughter and son-in-law fight for the world.
Wang Jian left the 400,000 troops near Zhenbei City, and ordered the 100,000 Jeju troops blocked by Ran Min to rush to Zhenbei City for reorganization.
Afterwards, Wang Jian led 500,000 troops to join Ran Min's 100,000 troops and went directly to Jeju.
The safety of Zhenbei City was entrusted to Guanning Iron Cavalry. After all, this was a newly surrendered army of 500,000. Long Tian could not be completely at ease. He had to be on guard to keep so many people around him.
However, Long Tian was not worried. The generals of the former Jizhou Army were taken away by Wang Jian. Now the generals of the former Zhenbei Army were in control of the army.
With the constant monitoring of the shadow, the possibility of these people causing trouble was not great.
In the following time, Long Tian stayed in Zhenbei City temporarily, which was also a rest after a busy period.
During this period, Long Tian finally met Hao Muyu.
"Uncle, are you used to being in the North?"
Long Tian took the time to meet Hao Wudao.
This was also the first time the two met in the North. Long Tian's fiancée Hao Muyu was present.
"You are really a busy man. You brought me here, but you just showed up now."
"As you said, the environment in the North is really refreshing, completely different from Xia Country. Here, the people can live and work in peace and the officials can show their ambitions."
"After coming here, I found that officials and the people can get along like this."
In the traditional concept of Hao Wudao, officials should be high above and have an essential difference from the people.
However, the North advocates equality for all. As long as you have the ability and pass the assessment, you can become an official, but the premise is that the purpose of being an official is to serve the people, not to make profits for yourself.
"Uncle, you have worked hard during this period. The North has developed too fast, and the official system is not perfect, which is prone to chaos."
"And the training of officials cannot be completed overnight. Thanks to uncle for his help in this regard."
This aspect is indeed the weakness of the North, lacking basic officials.
The arrival of Hao Wudao just solved this problem. As the leader of the Xia Kingdom, it was easy to get some officials.
Hao Wudao didn't say much. This was his task.
"Uncle, now that there are many troops in the northern border, more talents will be needed in the future. Please take care of this."
Long Tian did not hide his ambitions. These also need to be prepared in advance.
"Don't worry, I am sure of this little thing."
"By the way, Mu Yu has always wanted to see you since he arrived in the northern border. You young people should solve your own problems. I, an old guy, will not participate."
Hao Wudao left after saying that.
"You are Long Tian, and you don't look good."
Hao Mu Yu has been observing Long Tian from the side.
"Then what do you think this king should do?" Long Tian was curious.
"It's hard to understand how a dandy and romantic prince can suddenly become a mastermind."
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me."
"Let me ask you, what do you think about our marriage? Do you recognize it or not?"
Hao Muyu asked directly about their marriage, and she was not shy at all.
"Of course I recognize it. After all, it is the decision of the elders."
Women, Long Tian has no shortage of them, and feelings, he doesn't need them. In this position,What she considered more was the benefits.
"Okay, I see you don't mind, so let's settle it. It's up to you when to get married."
"However, I have a request. I want to join the army, I want to go to the battlefield, just like the Golden Phoenix, you also get me an army."
Good guy, the daughter of a literary giant, her personality is actually like this.
In Long Tian's impression, reciting poems, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, these should be what Hao Muyu is good at, how could she be interested in swords and weapons.
"You are a young lady in the boudoir, why don't you stay at home and think about going to the battlefield all day long."
Long Tian smiled bitterly, this is not what Hao Muyu should do.
"This is my wish since I was a child, my father has never allowed it, now I am also a person in the North, everything is up to you, you just say it's okay."
Hao Muyu's personality is a bit fierce, and Long Tian has some interest.
Long Tian likes true temperament, such people are the easiest to approach and the easiest to accept.
"Okay, there are many armies in the North, it's easy to get you an army, but let's wait and see. When the female generals under my command return, I will specially build an army for you."
After thinking about it, Long Tian did not reject Hao Muyu's proposal.
Whether it is a man or a woman, there must be something they like to do. This will not only help Long Tian, but also deepen their feelings. At the very least, they will not be too bored.
Long Tian thought of those famous female generals in Chinese history. If there is a chance to summon them in the future, it is not impossible to specially build a large army.
The two met for the first time and had a good chat. Hao Muyu was carefree, which was completely inconsistent with her background. Long Tian was even more casual and did not care about the difference in status.
"Your Majesty, General Han Xin sent a message that a large number of troops appeared in the South Court of Liang State. It is conservatively estimated that there are about five million troops. They are transferred from all over Liang State. The target should be us."
Long Tian just returned to the North Palace and met Cao Zhengchun who was about to go out to find him.
