"Not telling the old man is the right choice?" Li Changxian sighed and then asked, "I remember when Li Changhao was taken to Wanling County, wasn't he prohibited from leaving the palace?"

"This is all my fault. Since your second uncle came to Jiannan Prefecture to take up his post, he neglected his care for Li Changhao. At the beginning, the person was released. He first moved freely in Lingnan Prefecture. He didn't expect that he would find Song Tianfu, but in the end he colluded and helped the people escape from the prison, and then fled to the capital of Chang'an."

"Uncle San, I won't blame you for this. It's going to rain. Mom wants to get married. How does Lee Chang-ho choose? If you want to go there, just go there!"

Lee Changho doesn’t want to care whether he dies or lives. After all, this is not his responsibility. Everything is the consequence of the spoiling of the second uncle and his wife.

"Where is the second aunt?" The second uncle went to Jiannan Mansion. Li Changyuan was in Guangzhou City. Now Li Changhao fled to Chang'an Capital again. How should the remaining second aunt choose?

"Your second aunt is still in Lingnan Prefecture and hasn't gone anywhere!" Li Yunyi explained.

This is the best news that Li Changxian heard today. Otherwise, if Second Aunt followed Lee Changhao to the capital of Chang'an, it would be a big trouble.

Fortunately, my second aunt did not leave and did not follow Lee Changhao back to Chang'an capital to be a demon.

"Uncle San, we won't talk about Lee Chang-ho anymore. Let's talk about Lingnan Prefecture for the time being!"

"Changxian, since the New Year, the number of refugees fleeing from all over the country has gradually increased, and Lingnan Prefecture is overwhelmed. The finances are already very tight, and the government office has almost no extra energy to manage it. If the refugees cannot be appeased well, Lingnan Prefecture City will face a great threat and even cause a riot among refugees."

"Uncle San, I understand!"

Li Changxian was silent for a moment. In the past, Wanling County had been implementing refugees to move south, moving the excess labor force to Wanling County, Shiguo, and even to South Asian countries.

However, the population of Wanling County has been saturated, and the economic strength of South Asian countries such as Shiguo cannot withstand so many foreign populations, so conflicts between locals and outsiders continue to occur in the local area.

Only by digesting it in Lingnan Prefecture or finding a new refugee site is the correct way to deal with refugees.

"Uncle San, I'm here to help you solve the problem. Refugees should not move south again in the future. It's time to let refugees go north and start returning!"

After more than ten years of continuous chaos, many places in the mainland have been empty, with barren fields and severe labor in the pass. This can be seen from the fact that Abuda led the army to the west.

Why did the Western Expedition Army go so smoothly? It is not that the officers and soldiers guarding the city do not want to resist, but that the military sources of the states and cities along the way are seriously insufficient. Even if the elderly and children are suppressed, they cannot resist the attack of the Western Expedition Army in Wanling County.

“Return?”

"Yes, I'm here this time, and I plan to lead the refugees north to enrich the prefectures and cities in Longyou Road, so that Longyou Road can restore its prosperity to the mid-Jinshun period. In this regard, Wanling County has organized capable officials and will arrive at Lingnan Prefecture in the near future. The Lingnan Prefecture needs active cooperation. On the one hand, some refugees will follow the army north, and on the other hand, they will organize road construction and build a road leading to the inner pass."

"Okay, I'll have someone make arrangements right now!" Li Yunyi felt much better after hearing Li Changxian's proper arrangements for the refugees. Before Li Changxian could finish his words, he wanted to stand up and go back to the government office to handle political affairs.

"Uncle San, please do it first, I will take my leave for the time being!" Li Changxian had to find a reason to leave.

In the following days, Li Changxian helped Li Yunyi handle political affairs in the Lingnan Prefecture. Until everything was sorted out, he led some recruited refugees and followed the army of Wanling County to continue heading north.

Along the way, Li Changxian felt that the road was much more desolate. Perhaps it was the result of the chaos in recent years, or it was the Tubo army that suddenly began to attack the Central Plains, causing the people of Longyou Road to abandon their homes and move eastward or southward.

Another important point is that there are more bandits who occupy the mountain and become king. Although they did not go down the mountain to rob the Wanling County army, Li Changxian always felt that they were not happy. Whenever they went there, the first thing was to send a small group of soldiers to various places to suppress the bandits.

Then we appease the local officials and people, let them all relax, use the barren land, and resume production as soon as possible, without worrying about the invading Tubo army, I believe that they will be defeated soon and there will be no military disaster in the future.

Of course, in order to solve the problem of insufficient labor in the local area, Li Changxian left behind some officials and a large number of young laborers, hoping to help the local government maintain order and restore production.

After all, the rear was unstable, and the Wanling County army was not at ease to resist the Tubo army in front.

Although he was slow along the way, the results achieved were very obvious. On the one hand, the food and grass in the rear were continuously transported to the front, and on the other hand, the local peace was restored, and there were more and more farming figures in the fields.

Moreover, the bandit suppression teams sent were all full of gains. It was not that the army in Wanling County was strong, but that the bandits in various places were too weak. Many bandits either fled when they heard the news or put down their weapons and went down the mountain to surrender before the army arrived.

Even though some bandits were not afraid of the siege of the Wanling County army, they had no ability to confront each other after the "bang bang" gunshots.

Even if some people are martial arts masters, there are very few people who can escape successfully under the siege of many muskets. After all, the gap between hot weapons and cold weapons is quite large.

When Li Changxian led his troops to Yizhou City, he heard a bad news. As early as more than ten days ago, the Tubo army bypassed the old Yellow River and suddenly came outside Maozhou City. If the officers and soldiers of Maozhou City had not received the news of the invasion of the Tubo army and had made preparations in advance, otherwise they might have been successfully attacked under the sudden attack of the Tubo army.

Fortunately, there were 50 million Ling County officers and soldiers left in Maozhou City, and the officials and civilians in Maozhou City were unanimous to the outside world, so they temporarily repelled the attack of the Tubo army.

Although the Tubo army was blocked from the attack and Maozhou City was not lost, under the siege of 100,000 Tubo troops, the officers and soldiers guarding the city were in danger, and they sent actual distress signals to Yizhou one after another.

And the most important point is that after surrounding Maozhou City, the Tubo army began to divide their troops to burn, kill, loot outside Maozhou City, and burn and kill all the way to Peizhou and Qinzhou, posing a great threat to the local officials and civilians.

It’s a little bit better to say in Peizhou. With the resistance of the officers and soldiers of Wanling County, the city can be guaranteed to be at least not lost.

But Qinzhou is not so lucky. It is said that the Tubo army successfully attacked the city, and more than 10,000 soldiers guarding the city were killed. The people in the city were killed and injured, and they fell into dire straits.

A large number of refugees fleeing south were escaped from Qinzhou. Many were received here in Yizhou City, and more refugees were sent to Lingnan Prefecture.
