Chapter 349 Entering Tianshui City
A great battle inevitably ended in a dead body. Tuyuhun attacked more than 60,000 troops, and less than 20,000 managed to escape. Others died or were captured. Almost all the generals were killed, although the loss was only tens of thousands. , but it also severely injured Tuyuhun, who was of average strength, and never dared to send troops to provoke trouble again.
Li Yunfei's gains were much greater than expected. What surprised Li Yunfei the most was that the royal governor of Qinzhou ran away, and the deputy governor of the opposite sex outside felt that the Western Wei regime was already in jeopardy and unreliable. There is an urgent need to find a new lord to take refuge in. Previously, he really considered taking refuge in the Murong family of Tuyuhun, but now suddenly a man of God has defeated the 100,000 army of Tuyuhun with his own power. Such a master will definitely shine in the future , and even rule the world, so when Li Yunfei appeared in front of Tianshui City with a group of women's soldiers, that Vice Inspector Feng directly brought his official seal to offer refuge in the city.
Li Yunfei didn't know what to do for a while, and it was only after Dugufeng reminded him in a low voice that the special handover ceremony was completed.
He also greatly praised the governor who had taken refuge in him, and drew a big cake for him, which made the guy excited and kowtowed several times in a row, almost shouting "Your Majesty is wise."
The governor's mansion where the royal governor originally lived became the place where Li Yunfei lived. It was originally planned to give them freedom for the 30 or 30 maidservants and servants in the mansion, but those large groups of people knelt together, I hope the new master can take it in. In this turbulent era, it is far easier to make a living outside than in the Governor's Mansion.
"In this case, you all stay and continue to work, but the salary will be doubled, and those who don't work seriously will be fired directly!" Li Yunfei said directly and went back to the room to sort out some materials.
"Everyone go to work, the master said, as long as you work hard, you will be given twice as much salary in the future. If you don't work hard, the master will not scold you, but will directly drive you out of the governor's mansion ..." Seeing that everyone was stunned, Dugufeng explained again.
"...Little master, servants and others are slaves and have no salary!" A girl said cautiously.
"I will no longer be a slave in the future. The master has already ordered that from now on, there will be no slaves in our governor's mansion, and I am not a little master. I used to be a slave just like you, so you work hard Come on, if you really want to work hard, the master will definitely not treat you badly."
"Thank you, my lord, for your explanation. I know this servant girl, and I will definitely work hard to repay my master's great kindness." Those people were very excited to get rid of slavery so easily.
In particular, some of the 'old men' who had practiced forty were even more excited and knelt on the ground, kowtowing several times to the house where Li Yunfei was.
Elimination of slavery is just a matter of one sentence for a real powerful figure, but for those slaves, it is almost an impossible task. If one person is a slave, if there is no accident, future generations will be slaves. A slave can be beaten and scolded by the master, or even killed directly, without any trouble. In the eyes of some masters, the importance of a slave is even less than that of a cow. a horse.
Of course, Li Yunfei knew about the outside affairs. The elimination of slavery can only be done slowly and spread out gradually. If you shout now to rebel for the sake of the slaves in the world, you will definitely be attacked by all forces.
...
Just entering Tianshui City, of course, you need to bring a few entourages, walk around the city wall, and learn about the specific situation here, so that you can make some corresponding arrangements.
Tianshui City is not too big, about 50,000 square meters, with a total of more than 10,000 households, and the number of people is far less than 100,000. The city wall is only made of rammed earth, not the big blue bricks as imagined, but it is quite high, about eight or nine meters high.
It turns out that the ancient city walls were only made of soil, so it is no wonder that they have to be repaired every now and then. No wonder the crossbow arrows shot by the bed crossbow can be nailed to the city wall, allowing the attacking soldiers to climb directly onto the city wall...
"My lord, the latest news is that when Gao Yang's Eastern Wei army was about to annex the Western Wei Dynasty, they took advantage of the momentum and forced the palace to abolish Emperor Xiaojing and become self-reliant. Now they have changed the name of the country!" Cherry sent an information.
"Uh, the Eastern Wei regime is finished?"
"Yes, maybe adults can also take advantage of the momentum and directly replace the Western Wei Dynasty!"
"Cherry, your impatience needs to be corrected. You can't be in a hurry. We even have full control of Tianshui City. How can we replace the Western Wei Dynasty... Maybe in a few years, the Yuwen family won't be able to pretend and show their fangs. Ya, when they abolish the Western Wei emperor and stand on their own, we can act in a grand manner."
"It's because the subordinates didn't think carefully... There is another matter, the county magistrate of Qingshui County came to surrender with the household registration register!"
"There is such a good thing? But why isn't the county magistrate here?"
"The county magistrate of Qingshui is a child of the Yuwen family. He was completely intimidated by the lord's reputation. After hearing that the lord has controlled Tianshui City, he took his family and ran away last night."
"...That's fine, let's go, go back and meet that county magistrate!"
"Congratulations, my lord, who is powerful in the world, and won a city for nothing!" Seeing Li Yunfei who came back from a distance, Feng Cishi immediately came out to congratulate him. The clan was suppressed and unable to show his talents. Now Li Yunfei directly delegated power to him, but he also gave a lot of suggestions, which can make Tianshui City recover faster.
"Your Majesty Feng, you are being polite. It is up to Master Feng to take care of the population statistics of the management area, the statistics of reclaimed fields, and the autumn harvest!"
"The subordinate order will do everything possible to assist the lord." Although these are trivial matters in the eyes of Governor Feng, the new lord is not only superior in strength and capable of fighting, but also always farming and caring about the basic necessities of the people. He treats his enemies as cold and ruthless as winter, and treats him as warm as a spring breeze. He is really a rare and wise monarch. It can be foreseen that as long as it does not develop slowly, Lord Li will be able to rule the world sooner or later. Every time he thinks of this, Governor Feng always feels that he has such inexhaustible strength.
...
In the dead of night, Li Yunfei was still in the study, sorting out all the statistical data sent over, and Xiaogu and Feng'er were also helping to sort out.
Suddenly occupying the boss's territory, there is always a feeling of unreality, this territory is really easy to come, not only Qingshui County, but also several nearby counties have surrendered in just three days Chengdu came to seek refuge with their respective files and atlases.
The county magistrate of the Western Wei Dynasty was either a member of the royal family or a child of the Yuwen family, so a terrible evil star like Li Yunfei appeared nearby, and they basically ran away, lest the evil star kill him and the whole family's lives would be lost.
So it was just an unexpected encounter. Not only did it seize a state, but it also took over the vast territory of six nearby counties. Leaving a small town can be regarded as compensation in disguise.
This kind of thing is very popular in troubled times. It is similar to an unspoken rule. As long as those who take the initiative to start a war, they will often give up part of the land to quell the war if they fail to grab the territory. The loser must pay the price. It is popular in later generations, and war compensation has existed since ancient times.
Now the territory controlled by Li Yunfei is more than three hundred miles from east to west, and nearly four hundred miles from north to south. This is a huge piece of land, of course, more than 80% of it is deep mountains and dense forests that cannot be developed, but these are not for Li Yunfei. I don't dislike it at all, relying on mountains to eat mountains, deep mountains and dense forests are extremely huge resources.
Although only one Northern Qi regime, which has just established a state, has recognized Li Yunfei's sphere of influence, the other regimes that have handed over to Li Yun's territory have not yet recognized it, but it is tantamount to acquiescing.
For the time being, there is no force nearby who dares to come and grab the territory, because doing so will only result in losses outweighed. He alone dares to break into an invincible general with an army of 100,000 and kill the general and capture the flag. It is better not to provoke him if nothing happens. Li Yunfei's method is certain.
Li Yunfei will definitely not be idle. While working hard to improve his own strength, he also started farming and training soldiers at the same time, without any delay...
