When Zhao He's assassination broke out, Zhao Tong suddenly turned his face and began to criticize Zheng Chun who was staying in Wuzhou. Many trivial matters were intentionally magnified infinitely.

Because of the Wuzhou incident, Li Xun accelerated the layout of the Western Regions.

With Wang Dezhao as the general and Chen De as the deputy general, he led 10,000 troops to the western border of the Western Regions, Shan Qiu as the main general, Chen Tu as the deputy general, and 10,000 troops to the core of the Western Regions... Young generals such as Su Yecheng, Hou Quan, Li Zhaodi, Li Cunxiao, and Wang Jiming made many contributions in this war. Li Xun did not treat them badly. They all entrusted important tasks to lead the army alone and guard one side.

Hou Quan continued to station in Chengzhou with 5,000 soldiers, Li Zhaodi guarded Zhenshi City with 3,000 soldiers, Li Cunxiao was the main general, and Wang Jiming was the deputy general, leading 5,000 troops to take charge of the important area of ​​Xizhou.

As for the management power of the Western Regions, Li Xun thought about it and finally decided to hand it over to Fan Zhongyun. It was not that he did not trust Fan Zhongyun, but that Li Xun had his concerns. Although Fan Zhongyun was very capable, he was not favored by Zhao Zhi. In the previous period, Li Xun wrote a letter to seek merit several times, but he only asked for a seventh-rank dismissal for Fan Zhongyun. As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words are not smooth. Fan Zhongyun did not have a real official position. He handed over such a large part of the Western Regions to him for management. I am afraid that someone would not accept it. Therefore, except for Dan Qiu and Wang Dezhao, the other generals who remained in the Western Regions were mainly young generals. Li Changchun, Yuanhe, Zhao Wei, Yu Yanhui and other older generals followed Li Xun back to Wuzhou.

After the matters of various parties in the Western Regions were explained, Li Xun immediately led more than 15,000 people to start the journey back to Wuzhou.

In this battle in the Western Regions, Li Xun's harvest was unprecedented. Not only did he seize the entire Western Regions at a very small price, but he also seized a huge amount of money and grain.

The first batch of spoils, 8 million taels of silver and 3 million taels of grain, had already been taken to Fengjing by Zhou Pingyun and Lei Wanhai, with more than 1,000 people. This time, Li Xun returned to Wuzhou, and the spoils and supplies he accompanied the army were several times as many as before. With these money and grain, the materials needed for reconstruction of Wuzhou were no longer worried.

Fan Zhongyun bid farewell to Li Xun and sent him to Zhenshi City. Only then did the two of them parted officially.

"Old Fan, I will leave the Western Regions to you. If there is any emergency, you can do it yourself. There is no need to send someone to ask for instructions. Also, I have ordered Shan Qiu and others to strictly order military generals and garrisons from all over the country to be responsible for the guards and not interfere in local government affairs. If anyone dares to violate it, you can take action first and then report. If something happens, I will help you to tease me."

Li Xun held Fan Zhongyun's hand and made his final advice.

The situation in the Western Regions has just stabilized. The adjustment between the people of the Western Regions and the Han people is a suitable process for the new ruler of the Jin Dynasty. During this period, stability is greater than anything else. The powerful and wealthy people care about their own interests, while ordinary people care about food and clothing. Li Xun can give them all these things, and believe that as time goes by, everything will slowly move in a good direction.

Fan Zhongyun said in a deep voice: "The stability of the Western Regions lies in Longyou. As long as there is no major incident in Longyou, there will be no accident in the Western Regions."

Li Xun nodded and said nothing. How could he not understand Fan Zhongyun's meaning? He was reminding himself that he must handle Zhao Tong and others carefully, and that they must not let them disrupt the situation in Longyou. The situation is chaotic, which is beneficial to Zhao Tong. Therefore, Li Xun must maintain the stability of Longyou political situation and must not give Zhao Tong and others the chance to intervene in Longyou.

The two talked for a few more last words, and parting was about to happen. Li Xun wanted to give Fan Zhongyun a final hug, but was rejected. In a series of laughter, Li Xun led the army to leave.

Fan Zhongyun looked at Li Xun's back as he left, and stood there quietly. Chen He whispered: "Mr. Fan, let's go back earlier. The general is preparing to reduce taxes from the people of the Western Regions for three years. The order has been under the Central Army Mansion for several days. Now the general has left. We should convey this order earlier so that the people of the Western Regions can know the goodness of our Jin Dynasty."

After Li Xun occupied the entire Western Regions, civil and military officials separated, and the Western Regions Political Affairs Hall managed daily government affairs. The nearly 40,000 troops left behind were established. Fan Zhongyun was appointed as the chief officer of the Central Army Office and acted as the acting officer of Li Xun to exercise the power of commanding troops.

Fan Zhongyun shook his head and said, "This order will be taken to the Western Regions Political Affairs Hall for a resolution."

Chen He thought about it, nodded and said, "It's good, it's just right to try the attitudes of those Western Regions."

The first year of Tianhe, May 11th.

Nearly half a year after Li Xun left Longyou, he finally came back. This trip to the Western Regions was huge, the danger was huge, and it could be regarded as a big gamble, but no matter what, Li Xun finally achieved great victory and results, which played a major role and response to him and the entire Longyou, and even helped the Jin Dynasty. He received a huge amount of material transportation from Li Xun. The dilemma of the Jin Dynasty was curbed and alleviated at least in a short period of time.

By the Mulang River, Li Xun and his group were over a thousand people. After several days of dust, they had already arrived here. After crossing the river, they would be able to return to Wu'an City after another half a day.

The guards stationed at Liangshuikou learned that Li Xun had arrived, and hurried over to pay their respects, and then began to gather ships crossing the river.

"Master General, someone asked for a visit, he was General Lei Wanhai's man."

Chen De came to report.

Li Xun nodded, and a soldier was brought over and took out a letter and handed it to Li Xun.

Lei Wanhai said in the letter that after entering Guanzhong, Prince Zhao Xun sent someone to slow down the marching speed and entered Fengjing for a few days. Lei Wanhai pondered over and over again and finally received the prince's order to slow down the marching speed and sent someone to inform Li Xun.

The soldier bowed and said, "The two places are far apart. General Lei was unable to ask the general in time for instructions, so he had to decide on his own. If there is something wrong, please forgive me."

Li Xun ordered Lei Wanhai to escort money and grain to Fengjing as soon as possible. Now, because the prince changed the plan, it was considered to be a violation of Li Xun's order, but he did not dare to disobey the prince's order easily, and he was in a dilemma.

"It's not a big deal, Lei Wanhai can make his own decision."

Li Xun waved his hand and said indifferently, this is not a big deal that violates the principles. Lei Wanhai just needs to make a decision by himself, and Li Xun will not have any thoughts in his heart.

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his hand, and then said goodbye and left.

The ship quickly arrived by the river. Li Xun got off the horse and boarded the boat and headed towards the opposite shore.

Just when Li Xun arrived at the door of his house, a good show was also being staged in Wu'an City and the Wuzhou Governor's Office.
