Prime Minister take care

Chapter 31 Set up camp
Nanzhen County.

Yang Xian was riding on his horse. As he passed by, he could see the damage caused by the crossing of the barbarian soldiers.

The dilapidated houses, trampled fields, burning sentry towers, and stinking corpses, all the elements converged into a tragic portrait.

Walking on the path in the forest, you can faintly see the low walls of the city in the distance.

"Lord, right in front of you is Yongchang, the county seat of Nanzhu County!"

Yang An's legs glared, and he took a few steps forward on his horse. When he came to Yang Xian's side, he saw Yang Xian's pale face.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, I'm a little dizzy!"

Yang Xian really didn't expect that not only did he not have the talent to ride a horse, he also didn't have the skill to ride a horse in the skill list reflected in the starry sky.

Among Yang Chun's four adopted sons, only Yang An and Yang Gui stayed with Yang Xian.But there was some worry in their eyes.

When you first join the military, it is indeed possible to get horse-sick.But it is rare for someone as serious as Yang Xian.If it can't be changed, let me ask you, Yang Xian will have to lead the army to fight in the future. How can he fight if he can't ride a horse?

"I'm going to the official Nanzang County Governor Wang Ding to pay homage to the Prime Minister!"

Yongchang is not a small city in the southwest of Yizhou, but compared to cities like Xiancheng, it is far worse.

The one-foot-six-foot-high city wall is entirely made of rammed earth, and the city gate building looks very simple.The entire city consists of only one outer wall with two doors.

Now, the county governor and a group of Shu officials and guards are welcoming Yang Xian and the [-]-strong army from Yizhou.Nanzhen County is on the border, and the county soldiers have not been abolished yet, but compared with the Yi army, the number is still too small.

The arrival of this new force brought hope to the people of Nanzhen County.

"vomit"

Yang Xian got off the horse and felt an unstoppable wave surge in his belly.Even last night's dinner rushed to the base of the city wall.

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!"

A group of Yizhou officials immediately rushed forward, but were stopped by Yang Xian.

"I'm fine. Let's go back to the county government first, and you can tell me everything about the situation."

"."

County Sheriff's Office.

"Prime Minister, since the Yi King Samoko invaded Nanzhen, the three counties have been in ruins and tens of thousands of people have been displaced. The lower officials are trying their best to support it, but they are still struggling."

After taking a sip of tea, Yang Xian felt that his empty body was much better. After listening to Wang Ding's report, he asked: "How many soldiers are there in the county? How much food is there? How many refugees are there?"

"There are still [-] county soldiers, and together with the local county soldiers, there are [-]. The number of refugees in the county is almost [-]. There is not much food in the county government's warehouse, and it can barely last for two months. . Prime Minister, there are still three counties under the control of the Yi army. Do we want to regain the lost territory first?"

Wang Ding asked.The so-called local county soldiers are just soldiers formed spontaneously by the villagers to defend their homes, and their combat effectiveness is very low.The county soldiers are different. They have a high level of combat effectiveness in Yizhou's battle sequence.They can form formations, and have even received inheritance training from the military lineage, and can use some low-level combat skills.Now Samoko has almost captured it, and the main force has been pushed outside Nanzhu County. With the [-] troops brought by Yang Xian, the lost ground can be easily regained.

Yang Xian shook his head. For him, regaining lost ground was not important. The most important thing was to gain positive emotions.

Nowadays, there are refugees from those three counties all over Nanzhen County. If left alone, they will not only consume a lot of food and grass, but also cause chaos in the long run.

"The top priority is to resume production first! There is no need to worry about those three counties for the time being." Positive sentiment from Wang Ding +166
Wang Ding originally thought that Yang Xian would be very happy with his success as a young man, but he did not expect that this young prime minister was so aware of the overall situation.

"Prime Minister benevolent!"

Yang Xian snapped his fingers, and Yang An took out the map and flipped it on the table.

"Yongchang is surrounded by mountains in the east, west, and north, with Lishui flowing through it. The terrain in the south is relatively open. I plan to set up a stronghold here and station five thousand troops."

The place Yang Xian pointed to was open, close to Lishui, and surrounded by a large woodland.

"In addition, I will set up eighteen more camps outside of Dazhai to control the nearby dangerous passes and important passages, and serve as a barrier to the south of Yongchang. You, Commander Wang, take advantage of this time to step up resettlement of refugees, fishing, hunting and farming. Abandoned fields Plant as soon as possible, how much can be planted?"

"On behalf of the people of Yongchang County, I would like to express my gratitude to the Prime Minister!"

Being able to restore order to a town that was originally destroyed will definitely gain positive emotions.Yang Xian thought about it and felt that it was not enough.

"Also, help me find some alchemy furnaces!"

"Alchemy furnace?"

The officials of Yongchang County Government looked at each other, and they didn't know what the prime minister wanted to do?
night.

After a busy day, he stationed his soldiers outside the city. Yang An rushed back to the governor's mansion from outside the city, intending to see how much Yang Xian's horse sickness had been relieved.

The lights in the room were bright, and Yang Xian was sitting on the couch, looking much better.It's not as pale and bloodless as during the day, but it looks a little rosy.

There was a medicine bowl placed next to the couch. The kite, which had disappeared for a few days and was tamed by Yang Xian, now appeared in the house again, standing next to the medicine bowl, its eagle head looking around, as if waiting.

Yang Xian took out a small piece of silk from the bamboo tube of the kite leg and read the content on it, his face was a little serious.

"Master Chun sent information, and finally found out who was behind this?"

"who is it?"

"Wei Wen, the head secretary of the Huanwu Mansion! A few days ago, he went to Dongyang Sect and Nether Prison respectively, trying to mediate the grievances between the two factions. Unfortunately, he failed in the end!"

"My lord, this Wei Wen is Huan Wu's confidant. Now that we know that he is behind the scenes, should we deal with him first? In the future, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains will definitely be able to reduce a lot of resistance."

Yang Xian shook his head and said: "Master Chun is currently recruiting troops in Xian City, and almost all the veterans in our mansion are with me. Wei Wen has the support of the Li family, and since he is here alone, Huan Wu will definitely send experts to protect him. We have to solve it It’s not easy for him.”

After all, the power in the world around Yang Xian at the moment was not enough, and could even be said to be weak.Otherwise, just killing Wei Wen would be like cutting off Huan Wu's arm.

Yang Xian took a piece of paper and wrote down the situation here.

"The final thing Yizhou wants now is to recruit Changce sergeants and conduct training! We will worry about the rest after we level the land here and return to the army."

Yang Xian stuffed the paper into the bamboo tube, sealed it, waved his hand, and the kite flapped its wings and flew out of the house.

"It's really annoying to see Wei Wen stirring up trouble here and we can't do anything about it."

"That's not necessarily the case!" Yang Xian smiled. He knew very well that for Huan Wu, the most important thing now is Youzhou and the Youning cavalry. "Yang Fu should be arriving in Youzhou soon!"
