I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 161 Champion Kingdom!One person controls the north!
Li Wenjing's words were a little hasty.

It seems that he is even more urgent than Gongsun Du.

Han Shao raised his eyes and glanced at Li Wenjing. Seeing his small eyes looking at him scorchingly, he nodded and said bluntly.

"Think about it."

Li Wenjing, who was sitting in the yamen, heard the words and immediately clapped her hands to call out the visitors.

"Get the map."

Soon, several visitors, escorted by soldiers from the General's Mansion, took out a map of the entire Youzhou.

Maps and people's household registration books have always been the basis of rule.

Liu Bang's biggest gain when he entered Xianyang was this.

Such an important thing could be obtained in such a short period of time, which showed that Gongsun Du and Li Wenjing had long been prepared and waiting for their arrival.

Han Shao was sighing in his heart.

But he saw that Li Wenjing had waved his sleeves and hung the entire map of Youzhou in the void.

Completely unfolded in front of Han Shao.

Mountains, rivers, cities, and even some large villages and stockades are all recorded on it.

Han Shao glanced at it, and he couldn't help but feel strange emotions.

It's not that he has never seen a map that is more detailed and accurate than this.

But for Han Shao, the beautifully crafted maps in the past were just guides at best.

But now it's different.

Because he knows that as long as he is willing, the land, the river represented by this corner of the map, and even the people living on that land...

It will be completely yours!
In this way, doesn't the sense of immersion suddenly come up?
Seeing Han Shao's eyes wandering on the map in front of him, Li Wenjing chuckled.

"According to what our Majesty said, the land of thousands of households in Youzhou is all your will."

"You've made your choice, just tell us."

Although Li Wenjing and Gongsun Du were not there when the imperial edict was issued.

But with their cultivation, what could happen in this Zhenliao City that they could hide from them?

So Han Shao was not surprised at all.

Seeing Li Wenjing speaking cheerfully, she immediately smiled playfully.

"Can it really be anywhere?"

Hearing Han Shao's joking tone, Gongsun Du said dissatisfied.

"Is it possible that you still want this general to control Liaocheng?"

Town Liaocheng?
Han Shao's eyes were strange.

Even if this town of Liaocheng was given to him now, he wouldn't want it.

He also expected Gongsun Du to stand in front and protect him from the wind and rain. How could he get on the pole?
Isn't this stupid?
Now he just wants to hide far away to avoid the eyes attracted by the title.

So after his eyes flicked over the map, he pointed at one of the places and said.

"How about here?"

Look in the direction of Han Shao's finger.

Gongsun Du's eyes froze, subconsciously feeling that this boy was playing a trick on him.

Because the direction this guy is pointing is right at the top of the map.

Dingbeicheng.

Li Wenjing on the side looked away and was slightly stunned.

I thought to myself, 'Does this kid really want to be a hero? '

Dingbeicheng is no longer the wealthy border town that controlled trade between Dayong and the grasslands.

After being plundered by those Karasuma barbarian dogs.

Although the powerful clan forces lingering there saw that the situation was not good, they fled a lot in advance.

But almost all the common people and merchants among them were slaughtered.

Now it seems to be an empty city.

Even if the population can be repopulated in the future, how difficult will it be to rebuild on the ruins?

What's more, in this year's battle, those Karasuma Barbarians were forced to retreat.

But it obviously didn't really hurt.

Once it makes a comeback, Dingbeicheng will definitely bear the brunt and become the focus of fighting and contention between the two sides again.

I'm afraid it's really crazy to choose such a place.

Thinking of this, Li Wenjing couldn't help but suppress the smile on her face and said in a deep voice.

"Have you really thought about it?"

When Han Shao heard this, he did not hesitate and said bluntly.

"I've thought about it, this is it."

As he spoke, his face straightened, and he said with a hint of impassioned speech.

"Dingbeicheng is the place to guard the pass for the barbarians heading south."

"There has to be someone to guard..."

But just in the middle of what he said, he was interrupted impatiently by Gongsun Du.

"honestly!"

It's not that Gongsun Du doesn't believe that Han Shao can sacrifice for the overall situation of Youzhou.

He just wanted to hear what this guy really thought.

After all, even if you really want to guard the border areas for Youzhou and Zhenliao, there is no need to choose the fiefdom there.

Based on his relationship with him, once he said he wanted to make Beicheng his general.

Can I... really refuse him?

Sure enough, Han Shao smiled helplessly after hearing Gongsun Du's words.

After thinking for a while, he finally said frankly.

"One, avoid the limelight."

Han Shao's words responded to Gongsun Du's previous worries.

I'm afraid that he will be granted the title of Marquis when he is young, and he will become arrogant once he succeeds.

But at this time, Gongsun Du frowned.

"Are you still afraid that I and Gongsun will not be able to protect you?"

To be honest, Gongsun Du was a little conflicted at this time.

I am afraid that Han Shao is young and frivolous, which will ruin his future.

I was also worried that this guy would lose his energy under pressure.

However, as the saying goes, Li Wenjing, who did not have as many scruples as Gongsun Du, was able to control her temper.

"go on."

There is one, and naturally there are two, and three...

He really didn't believe it. This kid only chose this place based on his bravery.

As for the so-called "avoiding the limelight", in Li Wenjing's opinion, it is an excuse to deceive others.

But facing the aggressive look in Li Wenjing's little eyes.

Han Shao laughed and continued.

"Secondly, my uncle and Li Changshi know about my 'natural talent'."

"Only in Dingbei City can it play a real role."

North of Dingbei is the grassland.

On the grassland, there are barbarians.

There are some things that Han Shao cannot do on his own territory.

Because you have to follow the rules.

But not in the grassland. The only rule there is that the weak eat the strong.

Apart from that, all benevolence, righteousness, Tao, and morality are bullshit!
On the contrary, in the eyes of those wild dogs, these things are a sign of docility and weakness.

Not only will it not earn you respect, but it will also attract a pack of wolves to bite and devour you fiercely.

There, you can only show the sharp sword and step on the heavy horse's hooves to let the people there know what awe is and what fear is.

I think of what Han Shao once said when he was trapped in the camp, "I can go where the enemy can go."

Li Wenjing and Gongsun Du looked at each other and immediately knew what Han Shao was going to do.

After a brief moment of silence, Gongsun Du still frowned.

"Even if that's the case, you don't have to choose the fiefdom there."

Again, Han Shaoruo wanted to use the grassland as his hunting ground.

I want to use those Karasuma savage dogs as whetstones and resources.

All you need to do is accept the appointment of Beicheng Guardsman from him.

What is a fief?
It is the foundation of a family's future.

It is something that needs to be managed well and then passed down to future generations.

Although Han Shao, the champion, did not have a hereditary title, he could only be downgraded and inherited.

But how can it be so easy to take back the things that have been given, such as food?

Gongsun Du was afraid that Han Shao wouldn't understand the twists and turns, so he prepared to remind him.

But then Li Wenjing asked again.

"What about the third one?"

I am afraid that even Emperor Taikang, who was far away in the sacred capital of Haojing, would not have thought of it.

His little plan to drive a wedge between Liaodong Gongsun and Han Shao turned out to be this.

These aristocratic families, who have always regarded their territory as a forbidden area, one day thought that the benefits obtained from the division were too little.

For this reason, I even tried to persuade him openly or covertly.

At this time, Han Shao also felt a headache after hearing this.

At the moment, he just wants to stay away from these messy things, so as not to accidentally fall into an immortal chess game and become an involuntary chess piece.After all, who likes the drama of survival from desperate situations?
Wouldn't it be nice to wait for oneself to stand aside and grow insignificantly, and finally to overwhelm others with strength, and to take away all the opponents in a majestic manner?

Do you have to live or die to prove your bravery?
And the reason why you don’t choose those sacred places that seem to be rich is the same reason.

Gongsun Du is Gongsun Du.

It cannot represent the entire Liaodong Gongsun.

Once the interests of some people are affected, it will inevitably be involved in endless troubles.

At that time, there will be no leisure all day long.

Consuming countless energy for no reason.

What's more, as the saying goes, you have short hands and weak mouths.

Once he received too many favors from Liaodong Gongsun, how could Han Shao be so stubborn in front of Liaodong Gongsun and even Gongsun Xinyi in the future?

Some things are not so easy to take and must be returned.

It's just that it was hard for Han Shao to explain these words to Gongsun Du face to face for a while.

How to say?
That he doesn't trust Liaodong Gongsun?

That he doesn't want to be dependent on anyone else and just wants to stand on his own?

It is true that he coveted Gongsun Du's town and army in Liao.

But what he wants is to take over strongly!
Instead of reluctantly controlling the situation after negotiating peace and compromise with multiple parties in the future.

Han Shao seemed to be hesitant to speak, which fell into Gongsun Du's eyes.

Gongsun Du's face suddenly darkened.

"Is there anything else you can't say in front of me?"

Faced with Gongsun Du's persecution, Han Shao finally gritted his teeth with a look of embarrassment.

"Uncle, we warriors who are generals will naturally march forward bravely on the battlefield and never retreat until we die."

"But when it comes to family matters, it's better to take a step back to broaden the horizons."

Take a step back?
If Gongsun Du was really stupid, how could he possibly secure the position of General of the Liao Dynasty?

Even turning Youzhou Mu, who was supposed to control Youzhou, into a decoration?
Han Shao finished speaking.

Immediately I understood what this guy wanted to say.

"If you are worried about Liaodong Gongsun, you don't have to."

Gongsun Du said in a deep voice.

On behalf of Liaodong Gongsun, he took charge of Liaodong and controlled the entire Youzhou.

Gongsun Du still has some confidence.

There are only ten thousand households, barely one county.

In addition to the town of Liaocheng and Youzhou City, where the prefectural government of Youzhou is located, Youzhou has nine counties and 46 counties.

If a lower county is divided, no one in the clan will say anything.

But what he didn't expect was that Han Shao, this kid, seemed to be determined by the weight and insisted.

"Han Shao appreciates uncle's kindness."

"I have made up my mind, please don't try to persuade me."

Hearing Han Shao's words, Gongsun Du couldn't help but became angry and cursed angrily.

"Dead wood can't be carved!"

After saying that, he left Li Wenjing and Han Shao and disappeared into the lobby of the front office.

Is he fighting for Han Shao?
He is fighting for Gongsun Xinyi!

I want Gongsun Xinyi to live a more comfortable life in the future!
When the two of them have children in the future, they will definitely be the heirs.

Even if the surname is Han.

But it can be regarded as the continuation of his Gongsun Du's bloodline.

So in a sense, he is also fighting for himself.

It's a pity that Han Shao can't hold himself up to the wall, which makes me so disappointed!
Li Wenjing laughed at this.

"Look at how angry you are at your uncle."

Han Shao smiled helplessly, but did not change his mind.

Li Wenjing looked at Han Shao deeply with her small eyes.

From beginning to end, he never interfered with Han Shao's choice. He just acted as a bystander and watched his choice silently.

At this time, seeing that Han Shao had made up his mind and made a choice, he had no intention of persuading him.

He just turned to smile.

"Aren't you afraid of disappointing our Majesty with your choice?"

Emperor Taikang, who was far away in the divine capital, naturally hoped to take this opportunity to see Han Shao and Liaodong Gongsun acting disloyal.

But Han Shao took a step back and chose such a barren land.

In the eyes of Liaodong Gongsun, he couldn't be more 'sensible'.

But in the eyes of that emperor, he was extremely 'ignorant'.

Maybe, one day you are a pure and loyal minister, and tomorrow you become a cunning and unwarranted sycophant.

The so-called loyalty and treachery were just a matter of thought in the emperor's mind.

I heard Li Wenjing's words with a bit of ridicule.

Han Shao said with a surprised look on his face.

"Han Shao has received His Majesty's grace. He burst into tears with gratitude and decided to use his humble body to help Your Majesty determine the North!"

"You are so loyal, why would your Majesty be disappointed?"

Facing this guy's pretending to be dumbfounded, Li Wenjing pointed at him with a smile.

"You! Slippery!"

"But it's a good reason."

"I think our Majesty will be happy for a while."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and put away the map, and then said.

"Now that you have thought about it, I will report it to the court next."

"If you regret it, you'd better tell me before noon tomorrow."

"Once you repay it to the Capital of Gods, you can't change it."

When Li Wenjing said these words later, her tone was playful, but her expression was quite serious.

The fiefdom of Chehou is equivalent to the fiefdom of a country.

From now on, Dingbei County, where Dingbeicheng is located, will no longer be named [Dingbei].

Instead, he is called "Champion".

This point will even be changed and reflected in the "Comprehensive Map of the Great Yong World" in Taichang Temple.

After hearing this, Han Shao didn't hesitate too much.

"Is it the behavior of a man to be capricious?"

"Once you say something, you won't regret it."

Having said that, there is nothing more to say.

Afterwards, Han Shao discussed the follow-up matters with Li Wenjing, the mayor of Zhenliao who controlled the entire civil society in Youzhou.

The most important of these is the relocation of household registration and population.

Fortunately, the civil servants in the General's Mansion have already been working on this matter.

After all, land is only meaningful if it is occupied by the population.

Naturally, it is imperative to relocate people to the border areas.

However, Han Shao proposed a concept at this time, which made Li Wenjing's eyes light up and she became somewhat interested.

That is [Juntun].

The two chatted at length for a while, and unknowingly ignored the time.

Until it was getting late, Han Shao thought that Jiang Wan was still waiting for him at home, so he took the initiative to say goodbye.

Li Wenjing looked at Han Shao with some lingering interest.

"The champion is truly a great talent."

"The past has been buried. It's really my fault as a long history man."

Such an all-rounder would not even be on the battlefield.

Just controlling the civil affairs can also bring peace to a party.

If only it could be discovered early...

Hearing Li Wenjing's emotion and admiration, Han Shao quickly waved his hand and smiled.

"It's just an occasional insight, but it shouldn't be praised forever."

The establishment of military garrison at the border began with the suggestion of Chao Cuo during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, and was proposed again by Zhao Chongguo during the reign of Emperor Wu.

But the one who really used it on a large scale was our thief Cao Prime Minister.

After Han Shao finished speaking, he stood up and left.

But just as he walked out of the lobby of the front office, Li Wenjing's voice suddenly sounded faintly in his ears.

"Do you want to be the king of the prairie?"

Hearing this, Han Shao froze.

Looking back, I saw Li Wenjing standing in front of the hall with a smile on her face, looking at her with a smile.

I was about to say something.

But I heard Li Wenjing continue.

"I have been childless and lonely all my life. When I get old, I feel that my life is lonely and boring."

"I just noticed that the Jiang family girl has a gentle temperament and is quite close to each other, so I thought about it and wanted to adopt her as my adopted daughter..."

"Marquis Champion, what do you think?"
