Of course, the vast northwestern part of the country will not be obsessed with the Great Chu Empire because of a Chu army occupying Xianyang. This is clear to everyone.

Ordinary people may not care who the person sitting on the throne is, but they absolutely care whether they and their families can eat enough, and it is never the force that allows people to surrender from their hearts, but that they can eat and drink without worry.

Qi Ning knew that he had absolutely no ability to govern the entire northwest, and he would never let the people in the northwest worry about food and clothing in a short time.

An important purpose of Chu State to lay the Northwest is to use the Northwest to form a threat of force against the North Han. Therefore, it is impossible for the Northwest to put the horse back to the South Mountain.

But Qi Ning knew that to prevent major turmoil in the northwest, two forces must be seized. One was the local noble force in the northwest, and the other was, of course, a bureaucracy that specifically controlled the affairs of the northwest.

In these two forces, Qi Ning spent a lot of thought.

Qi Ning did not lose his faith. The Chu ban was lifted less than five days after the Chu army controlled Xianyang, and the people in the city could move from their childhood.

Before this, Qi Ning naturally let the troops on hand control some of the most critical places in Xianyang, such as warehouses, such as city gates.

The law and order in the city has always been maintained by Xianyang Fuyin. Qi Ning specially received Xianyang Fuyin. For the sincerity of the big Chu to protect the country, Xianyang Fuyin was grateful to Dade. He naturally tried his best to help the Chu army maintain the order of Xianyang. The government officials under Yin in Xianyang Prefecture did not change anything. Everything is still the same as before. These government officials did not lose their jobs because of the change of the flag at the head of the city.

When Chu Jun entered the city, everyone was worried about his family's lives, and Chu Junqiu didn't commit any crimes or even made four chapters of the law. This made the atmosphere of panic in Xianyang City gradually disappear, and many people began to worry about their livelihoods, especially those who had been in the past. Xianyang served as officials, and these people lived with salaries. Now that the Chu people are coming, many people naturally feel that the Chu people can never continue to use the officials of the Northern Han Dynasty. Without public office, this life will be gone. Landing.

Knowing that the little country official not only summoned the officials, let them choose to stay, and kept their official positions for them, but even the little officials who were on duty in various government offices, the little country official gave clear words, as long as they were willing to continue to be on the job, They can still maintain their status quo, and the government still grants them pensions.

Qi Ning really did n’t have to worry about not being able to pay. In the final analysis, it was still a loss to Qu ’s father and son. The Chu army entered the city. The first thing to control was the Zhenxi General Mansion. Duan Canghai also ordered the blockade of the General Mansion at the first time. No one was allowed to enter without permission. After Qining entered the city, he began to count the objects of the General's Mansion. This was not enough. When the details of the items were placed in front of Qining, Qining took a breath.

At the beginning of the inspection of the residence of King Huainan in the Chu Kingdom, he seized a large amount of money and money, and opened the eyes of Qi Ning. After the general financial list came out, Qi Ning felt that King Huainan was a little witch compared to Qu's father and son.

Whether it is gold and silver jewelry stored in the warehouse, or antique calligraphy and painting, it is really a huge number of sweating cows, and the number is huge. Even Duan Canghai and others are also frightened. The first thought of everyone is that the Qu family father and son are so greedy in the northwest. It is really not a small skill to accumulate money and be able to sit here for more than ten years.

Such a huge wealth, it is really a breeze to support the normal operation of the government at all levels in the northwest, and a huge warehouse was built in Xianyang. At that time, Qu Yuanyuan proudly claimed that even if Xianyang City was surrounded for three years and five years, the food in the warehouse It was enough for the up and down of the city. After seeing the grain stored in the warehouse with his own eyes, Qi Ning realized that Qu Yuangu was really not too exaggerated.

In addition to a large amount of money and food, Xianyang also has a special clerk of the household ministry, and there are also a lot of deposits in the library. These deposits are used to maintain the operation of the government at all levels in the northwest. The silver is enough to protect the salaries of officials at all levels in the northwest.

Qi Ning gave the Northwest officials the right to choose. After two days, the roster was sent. Most of the officials were natives of the Northwest. Naturally, it was impossible to enter the customs and go to Luoyang at this time, and everyone knows that the current customs A civil war, not to mention that the Chu and Dongqi forces launched an offensive against the Northern Han Dynasty, only the Northern Han princes battled to form a regiment. At this time, running into the customs, there is no difference between suicide and suicide. Therefore, in addition to the few officials who want to enter the customs, most of them want to stay to serve the Chu Kingdom.

The few officials, apart from the fact that they were indeed loyal to the Northern Han Dynasty, most of them were worried because their families were in the customs.

Qi Ning was confident and not only sent people to **** the officials who were going to the customs to Tongguan, but each person also issued a special entanglement, but the move was very popular, and soon spread around the city of Xianyang.

The roster left by Hongmen Dao naturally became a magic weapon in the hands of Qi Ning. Half of the officials in the roster remained, and more than 10 officials marked by the red line of Hongmen Dao also remained. The intelligence of the doorway is naturally very trustworthy. After carefully examining the official positions of these more than ten officials, if they cannot bring too much threat to themselves in their official positions and cause too much trouble, Qi Ning still keeps their officials in the original Whenever there was a slight threat to Chu Jun here, Qi Ning transferred it to another position.

In addition, Qi Ning promoted the talented officials who were willing to serve the Chu state according to the last page of the roster. With the help of these people, although the official transfer in the northwest was not too great, the general was silent. Some of the more important positions have been more properly arranged. After this mobilization, Qi Ning only felt that it was really cumbersome, and thought that the less he banged the better in the future.

In a blink of an eye, Qi Ning entered Xianyang for ten days, almost every day from morning to night, and many things needed to be consulted with him. Even before Qi Ning was in Chu, it was never so busy.

On the same day, I saw Duan Canghai hurried over and reported: "Grandpa, there is news from Tongguan, Qu Yuangu really sent people to Tongguan."

After winning the Tongguan, Qi Ning expected that Qu Yuangu would not be indifferent, but just waited for nearly ten days but did not hear the military report come. Do you think Qu Yuangu really want to leave the Northwest? There was news on this matter, and there was a wide smile on his lips.

"How many people?"

"There are probably two or three thousand soldiers and horses." Duan Canghai said: "And the tentative entry into Tongguan has been carried out, but Lu Kang's news over there, the Northwest Army is clearly not fully attacking."

"Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Others don't understand. Northwesters know better than anyone else." Qi Ning said: "Tongguan is now solid and has plenty of materials. According to the danger, the Northwesters can't be shaken even if they attack with all their strength."

He personally brought people down to Tongguan, surveyed the terrain of Tongguan on the spot, and knew that as long as Lu Kang and his soldiers guarded, the Northwest Army had no possibility of breaking through.

"It's true." Duan Canghai said: "The Northwest Army attacked several times in a row, but it was in vain, and now it has retreated. Lu Kang said that from the pass, we can see that the Northwest Army began to build a barrier about ten miles away from Tongguan. That means, it seems that a new pass will be temporarily built on Tongguan Road. "

Qi Ningxiu said: "Then there is nothing wrong. Qu Yuangu sent his soldiers back to Tongguan, and did not think that he could really lay down Tongguan, but he was worried that we would attack him from behind when he entered the customs, so he sent someone back to stop him. We enter the country. ”If we think about it,“ It ’s not that easy to build a pass, how much manpower and material resources and time it takes to get through today ’s scale, they are also building a fortification temporarily to resist our entry It ’s just a barrier. "

Duan Canghai said with a sneer: "Building a barrier means that they do not have confidence to lay down the barrier."

"Qu Yuangu is not stupid. Since he divided his troops to intercept in the rear, he will inevitably speed up to capture Luoyang in the front." Qi Ning said: "The war in the Northern Han Dynasty will be more intense." But he did not know what Yuehuanshan was under in his heart. Where did the Qinhuai Army hit now? Longtai sent troops to the north expedition this time. The purpose was to attack the west and take the north expedition as a cover. Taking the opportunity to capture the northwest and east Qi, everything went smoothly on his own side, and the Xianyang was defeated in the shortest time. Half of it has been reached, but I don't know if the plan to attack Dongqi is going smoothly.

Duan Canghai asked: "Grandpa, do you ... send troops to support Tongguan?"

"What did Lu Kang say in the military newspaper?"

Duan Canghai said: "Lu Kangdao did not mention the need for reinforcements."

"Then don't send someone for the time being." Qi Ning said with a smile: "Lu Kang is an old-fashioned person. If he feels that the strength of his hand is not enough, he will definitely ask for an increase in troops. He thinks we underestimated him. But the military newspaper over there must be delivered daily, and the situation of Tongguan should be kept informed at all times. "

"The subordinate knows." Duan Canghai's arching hand is about to retreat, and Qi Ning halted: "I haven't seen Hongmen Road in the past few days. He seems to be going back to Jianye in recent days. Do you know where he is?"

"Do you want to see him, too?" Duan Canghai said: "I haven't seen him for a few days. Lord Sir wants to see him. I'll go find him here."

"No need, I just ask." Qi Ning said: "We will not be able to return to Jianye in one and a half, San Niang and Zhan Ying will certainly be worried ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ I don't know what is the situation on our side, I Just by the way, let him take two family letters back. "

Duan Canghai said with a smile: "Did Lord Jue miss Young Lady?"

Although Qi Ning is already the head of the family, his young age is Gu Qinghan, who is an elder. Now he is also the age of Fenghua Zhengmao, so the upper and lower levels of Fuzhong are still used to calling Ximen Zhanying the young lady.

Qi Ning smiled and waved, "Go on and do the job." While watching Duan Canghai retreat, he really remembered Gu Qinghan and Ximen Zhanying, thinking that the court would not know how to arrange the northwest side in the future. It was enough to transfer myself back to Beijing last time. I am tolerant here. If I really want to arrange myself to be guarded in the northwest, I have to take over Gu Qinghan and Ximen Zhanying.
