"exist."

Xu Ding said: "A notice will be issued immediately, saying that our army fought the enemy bravely and recovered the nine counties of Jingxiang in one fell swoop. Considering the suffering of the people, the imperial court decided to take out half of Xiangyang's grain and distribute it according to the household registration."

"By the way, register again to see how many households, how many people there are, and how many young people there are in Jingzhou, and then give me an accurate number."

"Yes."

How could Guo Jia not understand that Xu Ding was eager to count the population because he wanted to form the third army.

Came from Xiangyang Mansion.

Xu Ding looked up and said with a smile: "After all, it is a rich and prosperous state, and even the government office has been built so big. It's a pity that we don't really own it until now."

"That's right, it took less than a month or two for the Shang Dynasty to recover Jingxiang, and it was captured by the Western Shang Empire. This time our strength has greatly increased, and we have blocked the impulse of Wu County. The Western Shang Empire wants to get involved in Jingxiang again." , I'm afraid it's just a dream." Jia Xu said.

"Hahaha."

All civil and military personnel laughed.

Everyone followed Xu Ding in and took their seats in the living room.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Cao Cao has expanded his army to 15 in Bashu and Xiliang, is that true?" Tai Shici asked.

"That's right, Cao Cao is indeed not what he used to be."

Xu Ding nodded, but hummed: "However, no matter how strong he is, he can't compare with us. This time, we have repelled the Western Shang Empire and sealed the wormhole. We will have enough time and energy to solve the problems of Bashu, Western Cool things. I believe that within a year, the world will be settled."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it won't be long before our Huaxia Kingdom can truly achieve unification." Guo Jia laughed.

"However, before that, we still have a lot of things to do." Xu Ding got up slowly and said: "In the past few years, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiangdong, and even Xuzhou have all been invaded by the Western Merchants Empire. People everywhere have suffered countless casualties. Now that the Western Shang Empire has been driven away, it is time to rectify the internal affairs."

Guo Jia also said: "There is Jiangdong!"

"Jiangdong is peaceful on the surface, but in fact, there are millions of enemy troops on the other side of the wormhole. They are waiting seriously. They may come over at any time. Lu Su's few brigades alone may not be able to resist."

"We need to improve our strength to prepare for future wars."

"Ah."

Xu Ding nodded: "What Feng Xiao said is reasonable. We can't be satisfied with the status quo. We should seize this rare opportunity to make adjustments to make us stronger."

"Follow filial piety."

"Yes." Guo Jia came out.

Xu Ding said: "Urge the troops in Nanchang to return to Xuchang as soon as possible. I want to hold a grand military parade in Xuchang. One is to celebrate the repulsion of the Western Shang Empire. The other is to boost the morale of the whole army, and to form the first military parade. The Third Army is preparing."

"Yes."

Guo Jia responded, but said: "However, we have many troops stationed outside, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to recall them all."

"There is no need to recall all of them, as long as there are one or two divisions in the first and second armies as representatives. The main purpose of the military parade is to take a large form so that the common people can see our powerful army. As for the number, we will announce Just go out, and there is no one to count." Xu Ding said.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Guo Jia has no objection.

Meeting in the living room for a while, and having lunch with all civil and military personnel.

Then they all dispersed.

Xu Ding was also drunk.

Just when he was about to lie down and was about to rest, Dian Wei, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, sent an urgent document, which made Xu Ding suddenly sober.

This document is from Jiangdong.

To be precise, it was Lu Su's personal letter.

Lu Su said in the letter that there seems to be a change in the wormhole!

"No way, I just came back, and the Western Shang Empire is about to invade again?" Xu Ding's heart, like a calm river, stirred up waves again.

"Lu Su sent someone to send this letter, what's the purpose?" Xu Ding looked at it carefully, and there was no strict intention of Lu Su in the letter.Fortunately, he just made a simple report on the changes in the wormhole.

In other words, Lu Su didn't think there was much danger.

The changes in the wormhole may not be man-made.

Therefore, no support is required.

Wanting to understand this, Xu Ding let out a sigh of relief.

"Dian Wei."

"exist."

Dian Wei was still standing beside him.

Xu Ding said: "Don't tell anyone about this letter, including Jia Xu, Guo Jia, etc., and don't tell it, lest everyone know about it and fall into panic."

"What's the matter? The last general didn't read the letter, so he doesn't know what he wrote." Dian Wei scratched his head.

"That's the best."

Xu Ding put away the letter and pretended he hadn't seen it.

However, there was a string in his heart.

Always thinking about the crisis in Jiangdong.

After resting in Xiangyang City for a day, Xu Ding led his army across the Neijiang River, from Xinye and Wancheng, back to Yuzhou.

Drive hundreds of miles and arrive at the capital Xuchang.

As early as a few days ago, Xi Zhicai received the news.

To celebrate the great victories in Jingzhou and Jiangdong, he arranged for all the officials to greet him outside the city gate.All the people of the city, welcome along the streets.

The scene is big and lively.

In the past, Xu Ding was very opposed to doing this.

It is also very unaccustomed to force people to welcome it.

But now, he supports Xi Zhicai, the bigger the scene, the better.

Not for anything else, but to let the common people know that after several years, the Huaxia Kingdom finally defeated the Western Merchant Empire.The Huaxia Kingdom is invincible and can guarantee a peaceful life for the people of the world.
