One thousand five hundred cavalrymen rode their horses like a whirlwind, and smoke rose up behind them. Not far away, the fire in the sky echoed the flames of the sun. This was the third fort destroyed by Zhao Xun and his men. The result was naturally with Xu.
Like a family fort, everyone with the original surname in the fort was killed, and the refugees included were placed in nearby villages and towns, or newly built villages and towns nearby. After all, the materials in the fort were still very complete, as for the food, weapons, and money.
All the items were confiscated.
"Brothers, I'm avenging you!" Qi He looked at the burned fort behind him and said silently.
After joining the infantry team, Zhao Xun took everyone to Yanzhou City. Along the way, Zhao Xun also secretly pondered the situation of Yanzhou Prefecture. After destroying the three forts, Zhao Xun had already thought about these forts.
It is a murderous intent burst out.
In addition to annexing the fields, these forts have private soldiers and privately built armor on one side. More importantly, they often robbed the caravans and pedestrians, which are no different from bandits and robbers, and are even more important than robbers and robbers.
It's even more abominable. Zhao Xun now feels that it's time to completely clear them up.
"Mom, we will arrive in Yanzhou City soon! Here, you can enjoy your happiness. No one dares to let us run for thousands of miles, and no one can let us walk in a mess as before." Zhao Xun looked at
He said with a bold look at the hazy shadow of the city at the limit of his vision.
Zhao's mother looked at her son and found that he was no longer the child who needed someone to take care of her before. She felt relieved and said silently: "Husband, our son has finally grown up. Have you seen it?"
"Wow! What a big city! Is this Yanzhou City? I have never seen such a tall city wall before." Xin'er looked at the city wall more than ten meters high from the car window and exclaimed. He has been in the town since he was a child.
Growing up, I have never seen a big city.
"When you get inside, you can have fun. Now Yanzhou City is mine!" Zhao Xun said with a smile. Seeing the little girl so happy, Zhao Xun couldn't help but be infected.
"Sir, come back, line up!" The city gate, which had already received the news of horse exploration under the Xicheng Gate, was waiting at the city gate early. As for the people entering and leaving, they also avoided it early and looked at it from afar, wanting to see the defeated Martyr Army
, the great hero who saved Yanzhou Prefecture.
When he arrived at the city gate, Zhao Xun also got out of the carriage. Looking at the people who had already stabilized and had a smile on their faces, Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel happy.
"See you sir!"
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work!" Zhao Xun replied happily.
"Wow! He is Lord Zhao Xunzhao, the leader of the Huolin Army?"
"Nonsense, haven't you seen it? The Huo Lin army guarding the city called him sir."
"What a young hero!"
The people in the distance were talking about it, and they were extremely respectful of this benefactor who saved Yanzhou Prefecture and gave them the seeds of the fields.
After arranging the soldiers to return to the camp, Zhao Xun led the Qinwei camp, Zhao Xiong and Li Chenfeng to the mansion.
"Here, this is our home!"
Outside Zhao's mansion, all the servants and guards were waiting outside the mansion with Li Ruolan.
Seeing Zhao Xun and Zhao's mother come out, Li Ruolan brings her servants to the ceremony.
"I've met Mrs.! Young lady! Young lady!"
Zhao's mother was also a wealthy family. She smiled and said calmly: "Everyone is exempt from politeness!"
Looking at the embarrassed Li Ruolan, Zhao Xun pulled her over, walked to Zhao's mother, and smiled and said, "Mom, I don't need to introduce you, you know Lan'er, too. Let's go to the mansion."
Zhao's mother took Li Ruolan's hand and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I haven't seen each other for half a year. I'm getting more beautiful. Okay, let's go in and talk."
Seeing Zhao's mother talking like this, Li Ruolan let go of her worries. She turned her head to look at Xu Qinlian. Seeing that she had no intention of being bad, she suppressed her anxiety.
After entering the mansion, Zhao Xun was escaped and left a few women to talk to each other. When he saw his mother, Lian'er and Lan'er had a good conversation, Zhao Xun felt relieved.
"Brother!"
"Okay! Today we all gathered in Yanzhou Prefecture. Although our third and eighth brothers are not here, we finally have the opportunity to get together. Today, we are very drunk." Zhao Xun came to the side hall and saw
When all the brothers arrived, they said happily.
"Xun'er, I find that you are different from before." During the banquet, Li Chenfeng said to Zhao Xun while drinking.
"Oh? Uncle Li said what's different about me?"
"Now you have the resources to be a hero." Li Chenfeng said slowly.
Zhao Xun was stunned, then smiled and said, "No matter whether he is a hero or a hero, I am Zhao Xun or Zhao Xun. Uncle Li is always Uncle Li, and all the brothers are always brothers."
Zhao Xiong also said: "Brother said that we are always brothers, come and drink!"
"Drink, you will stop drunk!"
Li Chenfeng silently said to himself: "The road to heroes is not easy to walk!" Then he also played wine with these juniors.
In the blink of an eye, the month passed, and Yanzhou Prefecture changed drastically. Starting from September, the entire Yanzhou Prefecture, except Bai County, was controlled by the Huolin Army. Then, the Huolin Army launched a dock in Yanzhou Prefecture.
The fort was punished. Either comply with the new order or it was destroyed. As for the people arrested in the Fucheng and the four counties, they all settled the charges and executed them one by one, so that the entire Yanzhou Prefecture would know the Huolin Army's blade.
The sharpness made those who were not clean and furious, and they retracted their claws that should not be stretched.
Under the iron hooves of the Fire Lin Army, dozens of forts that did not fall from the hands of the Marine Army were all destroyed by the Fire Lin Army. The forts were destroyed by the Forts. The rest of the forts were subdued one by one, returned to fertile fields, and removed their servants.
The Huolin Army also began to build new villages and towns everywhere, using ten households and one mile, ten miles and one village, and more people used towns to rectify the victims who destroyed their homes under the invasion of the Marine Army, so that the entire Yanzhou Prefecture
Everyone has fields to plant. Within one month, Yanzhou Prefecture was busy farming. Although the people were busy farming and building new homes, they all had hope and the Huolin Army also reduced taxes for one year.
In order to establish prestige for the new brothers and their confidants, Zhao Xun asked them to lead the army to clear out the forts and bandits everywhere, which made the public security in Yanzhou Prefecture quiet, and at the same time, the soldiers also saw their bravery.
Zhao Xuncai completely erased the influence of the Longxiang Army in the Huolin Army.
Of course, not everything is good. The big landlords and some merchants in Yanzhou Prefecture hated Huo Linjun and Zhao Xun to the core. The land that he had worked hard to occupy was taken back by Huo Linjun. Whoever did it?
I felt uncomfortable, and I thought about waiting for the reinforcements from the three palaces to arrive so that I could get rid of Zhao Xun and Huo Lin's army. But one news shocked them to the point where the three palaces in the south and west had already lost to the Marine Army.
The hand immediately made the upper class people in Yanzhou Prefecture understand why Zhao Xun was so bold and why he was so arrogant. He immediately stopped and obeyed the arrangements of the Huo Lin Army and never dared to do anything again.
During this month, Zhao Xun also accompanied his family to get to know Yanzhou City and enjoyed the warmth of home, but he didn't have the nerve to be intimate with Li Ruolan again.
"Sir, the people of Yanzhou Prefecture have counted it." Situ Liang coordinated the land allocation in mid-January, and also counted the household registration and number of people.
"Oh? How many people are there in Yanzhou Prefecture?" Zhao Xun put down his military affairs and looked up and said, wanting to know the population under his rule.
"After the rebellion of the Marine Army in Yanzhou Prefecture, there are 180,000 households and 630,000 people. The new losses have allowed those big households to reclaim the household registration of the people. Otherwise, we can only count half of them."
"Oh? So many? There are so many people in Yanzhou Prefecture?" Zhao Xun couldn't help but be stunned.
Situ Liang smiled and said, "Yanzhou Prefecture is located at the intersection of Yan State and the north. Although bandits are everywhere, there has been no war in the past two years. The court has reduced taxes and exempted many people from the south to Yanzhou Prefecture to make a living.
, so there are so many people from other races here.”
"However, Yanzhou Prefecture is also extremely nervous now, and is attacked from all sides. If it weren't for the mountains blocking the west, it would have been a big ambush on all sides. Now, the most important thing is to take back Baixian so that we can defend the enemy outside the country.
”
Zhao Xun looked at the map on the table and said, "It's time to get it back in Baixian County. Winter is coming soon. Baixian must be taken back before heavy snow comes, so that we can go to the north to cause some trouble for the people of Marine in winter."
"Sir, are you going to fight back against the Martyr? This is too..."
"Don't worry, this is just an idea. As for actions, it depends on the situation."
Situ Liang calmed down, thought for a while, and whispered: "Sir, our current army should also be adjusted. It is time to eliminate the influence of the prefecture army and the Duwei Mansion. Now the people of Yanzhou Prefecture are all
I only know the Fire Lin Army, not the rest."
"You! Always remember these things. Before taking back Baixian, I will make a new adjustment. You have done everything you are right, and there is no need to hide it. I have killed so many people, but I don't know.
How many people regard us as rebellious.”
Situ Liang smiled and said, "You can't say that. There are many scholars who are recruiting now. Many of them have been tested and sucked into my Huolin Army. Each county has arranged our people."
"Oh? It seems that Yu Jing is still an enlightened person." Zhao Xun was overjoyed. As long as the scholars approve it, their rule over Yanzhou Prefecture could be stable.
"Although the adults' actions caused the landlords to suffer damage, hundreds of thousands of people survived. Everyone knows it. How could they not see them? Now, many people in Yanzhou Prefecture have painted portraits of the adults and worshiped them day and night
Pray for blessings.”
In this regard, Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh that the people's requirements were really simple.
"By the way, there are nearly 3,000 prisoners of the Marine Army in our camp. What should I do about it? In the past three months, they have been building our Yanzhou Prefecture, except for a lot of efforts." Situ Liang smiled loudly.
road.
"It's time to deal with them. Three days later, Yanzhou Prefecture will reorganize its army and prepare to counterattack Bai County. You have the supplies."
"Don't worry, what kind of supplies we get from are enough for us. Yanzhou Prefecture is still ours in the end. Of course, Yanzhou Prefecture is now completely clear and unrealized."
"Brother!" When Xu He saw Zhao Xun, he greeted him respectfully. Xu He was very impressed by Zhao Xun now.
"How are you studying?" When Xu He arrived in Yanzhou City, Zhao Xun arranged for him to follow the officials of the governor's office to study financial and tax affairs. Xu He was careful, and Zhao Xun prepared to ask him to be responsible for preparing for the newly established tax department.
"Fortunately, I understand generally, and I understand what my brother said," Xu He replied.
"Very good! After taking back Bai County, Yanzhou Prefecture will re-plan. You are a very important part of it, so you must be careful."
"Don't worry, brother, I will handle it with caution."
