"General, there is news from the Western Region."

Li Xun was discussing matters with Sima Zhong and the magistrates of Wuhua, Wuzhuo, Linxia and Wu'an counties. A soldier came in with a letter in his hand and handed it to Li Xun.

Li Xun opened the letter and read it, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Is there good news from the Western Region?"

Sima Zhong asked aloud.

Li Xun nodded and handed the letter to Sima Zhong: "Hammer Oz has been recalled to Marmara."

"Hammer Oz returns to Marmara, your plan succeeded."

Sima Zhong read the letter. The content inside was very simple, just two sentences. The imperial envoy suddenly arrived, and Hammer Ozzie returned to the imperial capital.

Li Xun smiled: "I can't tell you the plan. I'm just testing the Dashi Empire's attitude towards this matter. It seems that they have no plans to compete with the Great Jin."

Suzhou suppressed bandits, Ye Shanhong and other bandit forces were uprooted, and the bandit leader Depula was captured alive. From his mouth, he got unexpected news.

In fact, Li Xun has always been a little confused. There must be other reasons why Suzhou's bandit forces can quickly gather in a short period of time. Moreover, Ye Shanhong's bandits have thousands of war horses and very sophisticated weapons and equipment. This is not consistent with common sense, so De

After the bandit leader Pula Yigan was arrested, Li Xun immediately ordered a rigorous interrogation. Only then did he learn that the governor of Xizhou, Hammer Ozzie, was also involved in the Suzhou banditry. He secretly sent people to bypass the Mulang River.

Entered Wuzhou via Dayin Mountain, took a small road to Suzhou, and delivered a large amount of supplies to Depula. It was precisely because of these things that Depula was able to win a great victory over the Suzhou army.

With many benefits, gathering bandit forces from all directions can quickly assemble a powerful force.

However, the instruction given by Hammeredge to Depra was not to send troops to attack the county town, but to gather strength, conserve strength, stand still, and hide in the mountains and forests. When the Xizhou side invades in large numbers in the future, he would ignite the fire from within and cooperate with the outside.

Counterattack on Longyou, but after Depra gathered enough strength, he became arrogant and ignored the Jin army and sent troops to attack the county seat without authorization. This eventually led to a complete defeat and Hammer's plan was ruined.

Li Xun sent some people to Xizhou to widely spread the news that Hammer Ezi colluded with the Suzhou bandits and intended to provoke a war. This was just a test by Li Xun to test the Dashi Empire's strategic attitude towards the Jin Dynasty. Subsequently

, Hammerez was recalled to Marmara, and once again sent an envoy to Fengjing, which was called normal diplomatic exchanges between the two countries, but in fact it was to express his attitude.

Sima Zhong said: "The defense loopholes on the Dayin Mountain side are huge. They are a major hidden danger in Wuzhou and must be guarded against."

Li Xun nodded and said: "I have ordered Zhao Wei to build a stone fortress at the entrance and exit of Dayin Mountain and station two thousand soldiers. At present, our energy is too involved. We will deal with the matter of Dayin Mountain in the future."

Li Xun was also a little neglectful about this matter. Fan Zhongyun once mentioned to him that the terrain of Dayin Mountain is difficult and the road is difficult, but its passage position is very important. It is an important intersection for Longyou to enter Tubo.

There is a small road connecting Xizhou and Wuzhou, but the road is difficult to travel and is not convenient for large groups of people to march.

Dayin Mountain has a radius of 400 miles, and there are more than ten nomadic tribes living in it. The ethnic composition is relatively complex, and it involves Tubo. Li Xun currently has no energy to take care of that.

"Captain Li, you people in the Governor's Mansion should discuss military matters among yourselves. You summoned us here today because you have other things to discuss. Please don't waste your time. I'm very busy."

Zhou Qing said with some dissatisfaction.

Sima Zhong looked at him and said with a faint smile: "Zhou Qing, don't be so angry. Only when you are calm can you negotiate things well."

"Senior Sima taught me a lesson that I will remember."

Zhou Qing cupped his hands. Although he admitted his mistake, his face was a little unconvinced. However, Sima Zhong was an old man who deserved respect. Since he had spoken, regardless of whether he was right or wrong, out of politeness, Zhou Qing

It's impossible to argue with him.

Sima Zhong smiled. He admired Zhou Qing very much. He felt that Zhou Qing was very similar to him when he was young. He was upright, fearless, and talented. Such a person would have unlimited future and hope if he met the Ming Lord.

In response to Zhou Qing's rude words, Li Xun just smiled and said nothing. Those in power should be generous. People who care about everything will not achieve great things.

Recently, Li Xun, in the name of the Supervisor of Longyou West Road, summoned the magistrates of five counties in Wuzhou to come to the Governor's Mansion several times to discuss matters. Except for the magistrate of Shenchi County who did not come, the magistrates of the other four counties were on time.

When they arrived, the imperial court wanted to move 200,000 foreign people from Wuzhou to Suzhou. Li Xun came to them just for this matter. Li Xun's meaning was very clear, and asked them to use gentle means to promote this matter. Don't be anxious.

Don't be forceful. Although it is not Li Xun's turn to take care of this matter, with his current status and power in Wuzhou, these county magistrates dare not ignore his voice, and no one dares to treat it carelessly. After all,

Even people with big backgrounds like Wu Heng, the governor of Wuzhou, were suppressed by Li Xun and lost their voices. Who do they count?

Zhou Qing said impatiently: "Director Li, you have emphasized this matter many times, do you need to keep talking about it? We are all busy and have no time to talk to you here."

Zhou Qing actually agreed very much with Li Xun's suggestion, otherwise he wouldn't have come here.

Several other county magistrates secretly glanced at Zhou Qing, sweating secretly in their hearts. This young magistrate is really courageous. Who is Li Xun? He dares to face so many people without any dignity at all.

Give.

But Li Xun chuckled and said: "When I called you to come, I said hello in advance. If you are impatient, why do you still come? Isn't this unnecessary!"

Zhou Qing's face suddenly turned red. His sense of Li Xun was very poor at first, but the two had worked together in Wuzhou for a while, and many of their ideas coincided with each other. Therefore, Zhou Qing had feelings for Li Xun.

There was some change in their outlook, their impression became a little better, and the two of them thought about the migration again. This is why Li Xun called everyone to discuss the matter, and he followed.

"The county government still has many things to deal with, so I'll take the first step."

Zhou Qing stood up, bowed his hands to Sima Zhong, and then strode away without looking at Li Xun.

Li Xun frowned slightly, then returned to his original position and smiled at everyone: "Magistrate Zhou has taken a step in advance, let's continue."

Several county magistrates secretly took a look at Li Xun, and felt that this man was young, and he was the governor of Wuzhou, and he had a really good temper. If Wuzhou was in charge of him, it would be okay to work under such a person.
