If it weren't for knowing that Cao Cao was secretly trying to win over Lu Bu and trying hard to accumulate his strength, Huo Hai would have been deceived by his appearance of worrying about the country and the people.

In comparison, he trusted Zang Min more about some of the ideas expressed when he spoke. Unfortunately, like Xun Yu, this man was seriously influenced by Confucianism and was a loyal royalist party, regardless of whether the emperor was worthy of protection or not.

Huo Hai sent troops to recover the lost territory of Bingzhou, strictly speaking, it was also to maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Zang Min had no reason to oppose him. Therefore, after the army arrived in Taiyuan, he did not stop Huo Hai from emptying the treasury in Taiyuan, even though the treasury was stored in the treasury that was not very useful during the war.

"The real use of these things is not to be used as coins, but to wires or parts of various mechanical equipment." Looking at the truckload of copper coins pulled out of the treasury, Huo Hai smiled.

"Don't General Huo distribute it to the soldiers?" Zang Min said with some pain.

"The war has not been fought yet! Of course, I will not send it to them until the rewards are made in terms of merit. However, even if the war is over, the soldiers should not want these things very much. So I will send it to Heishan Village first. At that time, I will send rewards with the equivalent of the soldiers who want more." Huo Hai replied to Zang Min.

"Since General Huo has those things, why do you have to empty the treasury?" Zang Min said in a questioning tone.

He could not stop Huo Hai from mobilizing the money and grain from Bingzhou, so he could only ensure that all the money and grain were used to recover the lost land in Bingzhou. In this way, he could make a contribution to the court.

"Why should I post my own things to help the emperor fight the country? There is no such reason!" Huo Hai asked Zang Min.

"There is indeed no such reason, so you have no power to allocate the emperor's land to others." Zang Min replied.

"Others? Where are there others in this world? As long as they are Han people, they are the people of the emperor, I hand over the land they have recovered to the Han people, and I give it to the emperor. Unless the emperor wants to cultivate himself, who else would give it to? Isn't it better to give some people who can help the emperor protect these lands, cultivate these lands well, and pay taxes to the emperor?" Huo Hai asked again.

Upon hearing this, Zang Min was silent.

In a sense, what Huo Hai did was more beneficial to the stability of the Han Dynasty, because he was extremely sure that the Sima family was more reliable than the Huns and could manage the land of Hexi better.

If the emperor had a decree, a new Shanyu was granted to the Huns, and the land in Hexi was given to the Huns, the war would have no meaning except to achieve the emperor's reputation.

"Will you still search Lishi City all the way like this?" Zang Min asked without any intention of staying after seeing Huo Hai emptying the Taiyuan Treasury.

"why not?"

"Those prefects would not agree."

"It's hard to say. I donated their officials for them. Do you think they dare not agree?" Huo Hai smiled.

"You, do you want to monopolize the power in Bingzhou and learn from Liu Yan?" Zang Min said with a very bad face.

"Even the Liu family is digging the walls of the Han Dynasty. Do you think I am better than him or not?" Huo Hai looked at Zang Min with a smile.

"Liu Yan is a thief, who is in trouble with Seoul in the world." Zang Min said in grief and anger.

He knew that Huo Hai, who was incompatible with the people in the court, had no choice, so staying in Bingzhou had actually no practical effect, at most it would be to delay his monopoly of power.

Because the power given to him by the emperor was empty and could not defeat Huo Hai's 50,000 troops.

"I have different views from you. Liu Yan's separatist rule in Shu may be the only way to prolong the life of the Han Dynasty." Huo Hai shook his head and said.

"You mean those people in the court will move?"

"Those who chaotic the Han Dynasty have never been people from a certain place, or local officials, or officials from the court. They have already begun to compete for power with the emperor. Who cares about the Han Dynasty? We, those who hold military power, can at least make these people dare not act rashly. If we really don't have us, do you think the world can really continue under the rule of the Han Dynasty?

In the current situation, if the Han emperor is like the Zhou emperor, he can be the emperor without power for several years. When will the princes decide the victory or defeat, and when will the Han Dynasty come to an end."

"Why don't you wait for the salary of the Lord..."

"Stop, I don't have the salary of the king. Instead, the emperor has stripped a lot of things from me, and the value is no less than a hundred thousand million yuan.

You said, why should I work for such a lord? Why should people in the world work for him?" Huo Hai stopped Zang Min's words and said.

Upon hearing this, Zang Min was speechless again. Now the people who can really get the salary of the court are busy fighting for power with the emperor! Who cares about whether the people live a peaceful life and whether the Han Dynasty ruled firmly?

I'm afraid that even the emperor himself doesn't care about these things, and his mind is full of enjoyment.

"No matter what, I have received the favor of the emperor to have the current status. Therefore, as long as I am still alive, I will do my best to maintain the Han Dynasty." Zang Min gritted his teeth.

"You have your persistence, and I have a path I have to go. There is nothing to say. If you are not convinced, you can do your best to deal with me. Of course, you must be sure in your heart that dealing with me is beneficial to the rule of the Han Dynasty." Huo Hai said calmly, then turned over and left.

He believed that when he went to the treasury of other counties to collect it later, Zang Min would no longer be upset by his side. Smart people should not sigh at their powerless things, but would try hard where they can achieve results.

Huo Hai only needed to send someone to monitor him, so he could roughly know what he was going to do and how the court wanted to deal with him.

A few days later, Huo Hai's army arrived in Fenyang County and suspended renovation. This place was less than 300 miles away from Shicheng and not far from Hedong. In addition to the vanguard army led by Zhang Liao, the main army needed to wait here for the food transported by Sima from Hedong.

It happened that the first snow fell from Bingzhou this year, and the soldiers blew by the cold wind were unwilling to put iron armor on their bodies.

"It's windy and heavy snow, which is suitable for people to sleep. If I were a Hun Tianwu, I would definitely choose to launch an attack at this time." Huo Hai summoned the generals to gather in the newly built military tent, and said the first sentence.

"There are distance restrictions on the use of curse and dream art, up to 300 miles. Therefore, anyone who is sleeping within 300 miles of Fenyang County may be the Tianwu or the target being attacked by the Tianwu." Tian Feng analyzed to everyone first.

"We can actually use this feature to reason in reverse and find out them." Zhang Ning said.

"The place they most likely lurks is Lishi City. Because there are more Hu people there than Han people, I asked several Taoist priests to get there many days in advance, and to investigate all Hu people who entered Lishi City within half a year." Huo Hai pointed on the map.

Zhang Ning nodded and said, "So long time has passed, and no news has been heard from the Taoist priests. Either the Hun Tianwu was so well hidden, they did not find out, or they did not enter Lishicheng at all. Therefore, we need to send people to check all the villages and even the wilderness within a range of 300 miles."

"You can distinguish the area one by one, and send a team of 100 people to investigate each area inch by inch by inch. At the same time, a new work and rest management system must be formulated to prevent soldiers from being rebelled in their dreams or cursed when they are resting. Mr. Tian, ​​you can teach you several plans we interrogated from Su Hela. The battalion-level officers must formulate secret orders before the soldiers rest in shifts today, and inform each soldier of their usage alone." Huo Hai pointed to the map drawn by the scouts and told everyone.

The so-called secret order is something similar to a night patrol password. However, this kind of password is not asked when they are active, but is told before they go to bed, reminding them that they are asking the other party’s password whether they are awake or in a dream.

The biggest function of passwords is to let them know whether they are in a dream.

Soldiers who are not sleeping will lock their weapons and equipment in the arsenal before they fall asleep. After resting soldiers wake up the next day, they must meet the command with the soldiers who are not sleeping before they can retrieve their weapons.

In the password question and answer, the soldiers will soon know the reality, which prevents soldiers from being instigated in large numbers in their sleep, and when they wake up, they will grab weapons and kill people.

Of course, defense work also has very high management requirements for generals. During the night, no soldiers are allowed to doze off. They need to patrol over and over again. Anything that may hypnotize soldiers needs to be carefully investigated.

Of course, the most painful thing is the soldiers who go out to investigate in villages or forests and wilderness. They cannot sleep during the entire investigation.

However, Huo Hai's orders were not difficult to implement for the well-trained Anbei Army soldiers. Even if it was windy and snowy outside, it would be very comfortable to sleep in the warm tent.

If you choose to be a warrior, enjoying comfortably is a luxury for them. You can't even enjoy it in normal times, and it is even more impossible to enjoy it in wartime.

After the meeting ended, Huo Hai immediately entered the greenhouse and prepared to go to bed because he agreed to the plan to fish out the Xiongnu Tianwu and kill them proposed by Yu Ji, Zuo Ci and others.

In the past two years, he has had a lot of official duties to deal with every day and needs to insist on high-intensity training. He has become accustomed to short sleep. But this time, he has eaten his stomach before going to bed and solved the problem of defecation, and is ready to have a long sleep that lasts for two or three days.
