Qinghu is just a small county town, with a city wall not big and a city wall not high, just a earthen wall less than five meters.

There are about 30,000 people in the city. There is a lake outside the city called "Qinghu". The small city is named after this.

Because it is the city closest to the grassland on the border of the Han Dynasty, Qinghu Lake is pretty good, and merchants often come here. If the Xianbei often plundered this place, it would probably be more prosperous.

The Xianbei is in great power. The county magistrate here either takes fish and meat, does nothing, or rises up to resist and is killed by the Xianbei... In short, this is one of the places that all the officials of the Han Dynasty do not want to come, and the price is also very cheap.

The county magistrate was naturally Zhao Yun, who spent 200,000 yuan, and the county magistrate gave Gao Shun, 150,000 yuan, and the county magistrate gave Xun You, and the same 150,000 yuan. He spent a total of 500,000 yuan to take down this small town.

As for Dian Wei, he acted as Zhao Yun's personal guard and had no official position. The seven strong men recruited in Jiwu County that day were also obeyed Dian Wei's orders and temporarily served as guards.

When they arrived at Qinghu, more than ten minor officials in the city went out to greet them. After the former county magistrate and Zhao Yun completed the handover, they immediately took their family away, as if they didn't want to stay for a moment.

Although the minor officials went out to greet him, they were not very concerned about Zhao Yun. When they heard that this person was spending money to buy an official, almost everyone said that he was a fool and had nowhere to spend money.

There were no county magistrates and county magistrates in the city, only thirteen minor officials and about 400 guards. But the so-called guards were actually useless, they were just responsible for daily public security. If the Xianbei came, they would hide faster than anyone else.

After settling down at the county magistrate's residence, Zhao Yun immediately took Gao Shun and Xun You to take office, visited the city and learned about the situation here.

There are three major merchants in the city, which are the local tyrants here. According to the minor official, the rights of the three major merchants are greater than those of the county magistrate!

Because these three major merchants trade with Xianbei for many years and have a good relationship with some small leaders in the Xianbei. When the Xianbei comes to rob, the three families will even invite others to enter the city for dinner...

The usual tax revenue is also as much as the three families say. Generally speaking, it will not make it difficult for the county magistrate to do, but it will not give the county magistrate too much face. Obedient county magistrates can live a better life. If they are disobedient, they will not know how they die.

In short, Qinghu City is actually quite peaceful, and the Xianbei people did not kill them all. When they came to rob, they mostly didn’t have enough food to eat, and they came to grab some, or they didn’t have enough daily necessities to grab some, or the Xianbei people had nothing to do, so they came to grab some...

But as long as the people in the city are obedient, they will generally not kill them or take action. Tan Shihuai is rectifying the Xianbei and showing his strength, and there are no major moves in each of the subordinate departments.

Simply put, as long as people in Qinghu City are obedient, they may suffer a little grievance, but they are safe. Therefore, this place is still peaceful and there are fewer bloodshed.

On the first day when they entered the city, none of the three families sent anyone to see Zhao Yun, as if they were waiting for him to pay homage.

After briefly understanding the overview of the city, Zhao Yun returned to the county magistrate's mansion with a expressionless face. After meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he pulled Xun You, Gao Shun and Dian Wei into the study.

A table of Eight Immortals and four chairs were customized by Zhao Yun and brought it over and sat opposite each other.

Zhao Yun said calmly: "I probably understand the situation. Gongda and Zhongda, tell me what you think."

Without asking Dian Wei, Lao Dian was happy to be quiet. He usually didn't interfere with such brain-making things. Zhao Yun said he would do whatever he wanted.

Xun You spoke first and said, "If you want to make progress here, you must first solve the hidden dangers of the three companies, otherwise it will be difficult to fully control the entire city."

He was thinking about governance issues. For the time being, Zhao Yun did not have the ability to send troops abroad.

Gao Shunze said: "I have seen three teams of patrol soldiers today. They are clanging armor and can't take weapons, and they have no energy. Such soldiers can only be lambs that can be slaughtered by others and have no combat power at all."

The county magistrate is in charge of a city soldier, and he also spoke in this direction.

The county magistrate is in charge of a city, the county magistrate is in charge of political affairs, and the county magistrate is in charge of military affairs. Both of them have their own work as their main goal.

Zhao Yun nodded: "The crux of the problem is actually Zhang, Yun and Liu's family. If they are solved, we can show it at will. It doesn't matter if the soldiers' combat effectiveness is not good. If they are trained, they will be trained and then taken out for two battles. Therefore, solving the problems of the three families is the top priority at present!"

Xun You said: "But how to solve it is a big problem. First, the three families each have hundreds of servants. This is the basis for their survival and the reason why the county magistrates here dare not provoke them. Secondly, they colluded with the Xianbei, and the Xianbei people only recognized them. If they were solved, the Xianbei attacked them in a big way, which would be difficult to resist!"

Gao Shundao: "The four hundred county soldiers probably don't even have the courage to attack their servants. They are all characters who are just waiting to die. I even suspect that these county soldiers are basically obedient to them."

If you obey the county magistrate and have a little courageous county magistrate, if you really want to do something, you can just call the county soldiers to attack the other party. The reason why we have been peaceful for many years is probably inseparable from this.

As a county magistrate, he cannot command the county soldiers. If you want to take action, I am afraid that people will have already passed the news to the three families, and they will handle you before they even take action.

The three families are in Qinghu, and they are truly local emperors.

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and smiled and said, "It is not difficult to solve the three families. As long as there are 100 elite soldiers, with my ability to defend the country, I can wipe out them, but a group of native chickens and dogs."

Xun You frowned: "It is not difficult to solve the three families, but the difficult one is the Xianbei! We don't know how powerful the Xianbei tribes colluded with the three families are, is it one tribe or multiple tribes? How powerful is the tribe's combat power? If these problems are not clear and act rashly, even if they are solved, it will be useless."

Zhao Yun nodded: "So, at present, we still need to continue to silence with them. Zhongda, give you a task."

Gao Shundao: "Please tell me, lord."

Zhao Yun: "You secretly recruit 100 township warriors and train them to become elite soldiers to wait for the future. I will give you all the money you need, but you have to remember that this matter must be kept absolutely confidential. Except for the four of us, you cannot let anyone know!"

Gao Shun nodded: "Don't worry, lord, it only takes two months to go into battle. If there is half a year and the well-equipped equipment, I can train a team of 100 soldiers who are not afraid of the army of thousands!"

"Do you want one to be ten? OK!" Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction.

"Report!"

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, one of the seven strong men in Jiwu County: "Report to the lord, there is a Xianbei attack outside the city!"

Zhao Yun suddenly stood up and sneered: "What a big family. I will give me such a warning on my first day today?"

Xun You frowned and said, "The person who came is not kind, what does the lord want?"

Zhao Yun shook his head: "It is not appropriate to fight hard at this time. The three families are probably just trying to scare me. Since that's the case, Gongda, how about it accompany me to play a show?"

Xun You wondered, “How to act?”

"Come here."

...

A moment later, Zhao Yun pushed the door open, and the strong man was still waiting.

He asked, "How many people in Xianbei?"

The strong man replied: "According to the soldiers in the city, two thousand-person formations came, all of them were cavalry!"

Zhao Yun's eyes were shining, were they all cavalry?

That's two thousand war horses!

If you buy it with money, it is worth 200 million yuan!

(ps: The preliminary preparation is over, and the fight is about to start. Let's start slowly first, and the highlight is at the back. You should not take too much steps in the early stage, otherwise it will be easy to get the eggs...)
