Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

The county town under Han Yufeng's jurisdiction is in the south, which is quite far away.

Wu Feng increased his speed, fully activating the Lingbo Weibu technique, his figure becoming a flowing shadow on the official road.

After running for nearly an hour, we arrived at the county town.

This county town was smaller than Mu Lingyun's, and the city walls were also lower, but there were quite a few people standing at the city gate, coming and going, making it look quite lively.

Wu Feng strode in, and the soldiers guarding the city saw him and quickly saluted.

He walked along the main street toward the city center, and after a short while, he stopped in front of a house.

This is not the county government office; it is a wealthy merchant's residence that Han Yufeng has temporarily requisitioned as her temporary office.

Two female soldiers stood at the entrance, wearing leather armor and with short knives hanging from their waists.

Upon seeing Wu Feng, the two quickly clasped their hands in greeting.

Wu Feng walked in, passed through the front yard, and arrived at the main hall.

Han Yufeng was sitting at the table with several sheets of paper spread out in front of her, and she was writing something with a pen in her hand.

Zhao Yu'e stood beside her, while Sun Yujiao leaned against the doorway, playing with a dagger in her hand.

Upon seeing Wu Feng enter, Han Yufeng quickly stood up, clasped her hands in greeting, and said, "Your Excellency, Governor."

Zhao Yu'e and Sun Yujiao also clasped their hands in greeting.

Wu Feng waved his hand, sat down in the main seat, looked at Han Yufeng, and asked, "How's the situation in the city?"

Han Yufeng straightened up and said crisply, "Reporting to the Governor, everything has been arranged and handled."

She paused, then continued, "My subordinates used the method of robbing the rich to help the poor. The wealthy households and gentry in the city were either purged or punished as necessary. A portion of the grain and silver that was taken out was distributed to the people, and the remainder went into the treasury. Now the city is well managed, and the people are obedient."

Wu Feng nodded without interrupting.

Han Yufeng picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it over: "I have recruited three thousand new soldiers, all of whom are young and strong men selected from the common people. They have been trained for a few days. Although they are not as good as the veterans, they are still usable."

She pointed to the names listed on the paper and continued, "We've also recruited quite a few talented people. There are scholars who handle internal affairs, and some who have served as county magistrates or registrars elsewhere and have experience. There are also some local militia members who are quite capable, at the level of third-rate warriors, more than enough to defend the city."

Wu Feng took the paper, glanced at it, and nodded.

He placed the paper on the table and looked at Han Yufeng.

"Alright. I trust you to handle things," he said calmly. "Tomorrow, lead the troops to assemble near Mozhou City. Make proper arrangements for the city's defense, and leave no hidden dangers."

Han Yufeng clasped her hands in a fist and said, "Yes, Your Excellency. I will make the arrangements."

Wu Feng stood up, glanced at her, then at Zhao Yu'e and Sun Yujiao, and without saying anything more, turned and walked out of the house.

Once outside the county town, he lightly touched the ground with his foot and darted away.

The last place we were going to visit was the county town under Zhang Heng's jurisdiction.

Wu Feng quickened his pace, speeding along the official road.

After running for nearly an hour, we arrived at the county town.

This county town is larger than the previous two, and its city walls are also higher.

Two rows of soldiers stood at the city gate, their armor neat and their weapons gleaming, looking quite spirited.

Wu Feng went inside and found that the streets of the town were much more bustling than the other two county towns.

With many shops open and many people moving around, there are also vendors setting up stalls along the roadside, their shouts rising and falling.

He walked along the main street for a while and saw several people in official robes measuring something by the roadside. Several commoners were standing nearby talking, and the atmosphere was quite peaceful.

Wu Feng nodded.

Zhang Heng was indeed adept at managing domestic affairs.

He walked through several streets and arrived at the entrance of the county government office.

The county government office gate was wide open, with four guards standing at the entrance, their backs ramrod straight.

Upon seeing Wu Feng, the group quickly clasped their hands in greeting.

Wu Feng walked in, passed through the front yard, and arrived at the main hall.

Zhang Heng was sitting behind his desk, holding several documents in his hand, talking to a scholar standing next to him.

Upon seeing Wu Feng enter, Zhang Heng quickly stood up, walked around from behind the desk, and bowed as he greeted him.

"Your Excellency, what brings you here? I am so sorry for not greeting you properly."

Wu Feng waved his hand, sat down in the main seat, and looked at him.

"Stand up and speak. How is the situation in the city?"

Zhang Heng straightened up, a smile on his face, picked up a stack of documents from the table, and handed them over with both hands.

"Your Excellency, the city is developing very well. This is the latest record; please take a look."

Wu Feng took it and flipped through it.

The grain output, population size, tax revenue, and conscription situation were all listed very clearly.

The numbers are not small, much better than the other two county towns.

Zhang Heng stood to the side, bowing respectfully, and said, "I have incorporated the surrendered soldiers and generals. During the siege, the defending general surrendered with more than 800 men, and I incorporated them all into my forces."

He paused, then continued, "The gentry in the city have also been incorporated. I talked to them, reasoning with them and appealing to their emotions. They cooperated very well, directly incorporating all their private soldiers into the army, and even sending elites from their clans to work in the county. Now, half of the scholars in charge of affairs in the city are from their clans."

After listening, Wu Feng placed the document on the table and nodded.

"As long as you can handle it well," he said calmly. "Tomorrow, lead your troops to meet up near Mozhou City. Take care of the affairs within the city yourself, and don't leave any hidden dangers."

Zhang Heng quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Excellency. I understand. I will make all the arrangements properly and there will be no problems."

Wu Feng stood up, glanced at him, said nothing more, and turned to walk out of the county government office.

Once outside the county town, he stood on the official road and glanced at the sky.

The sun is already high in the sky; it's almost noon.

I've visited all three counties, and the situation is good in all of them.

Wu Feng lightly touched the ground with his feet and darted away, running towards Mozhou City.

Mozhou City is located north of Yingzhou City, quite far away.

He increased his speed, using the Lingbo Weibu technique at full power.

After running for nearly two hours, the outline of Mozhou City came into view.

Wu Feng slowed his pace, turned off the official road into the roadside woods, and crouched down to feel his way forward.

Mozhou City was a size larger than Yingzhou City, and its city walls were also a bit higher. The gray city walls gleamed with a dull light under the sunlight.

Two rows of guards stood at the city gate, dressed in iron armor, holding long spears, and standing ramrod straight.

There were many people coming and going, some pushing carts, some leading livestock, and some carrying bundles, all queuing up to walk into the city.

The guards were checking people coming in and out, but the checks weren't very strict; they just glanced at their faces and let them through.

Wu Feng lay in the woods for a while, squinting.

He wanted to go into the city first to take a look.

Find out the situation in the city: how many troops are stationed there, how their forces are distributed, and whether there are any experts in charge.

These things can't be accurately gleaned by scouts alone; seeing them with your own eyes is the most reliable way to be sure.

Wu Feng emerged from the woods, dusted himself off, and walked along the official road toward the city gate.

He was dressed in ordinary, close-fitting clothes, looking like an ordinary martial arts practitioner.

As he reached the city gate, the two guards glanced at him.

The two guards suddenly went on alert, holding their spears horizontally in front of their chests. One of them shouted, "Enemy attack!"

The sound exploded at the city gate, causing chaos among the crowds coming in and out.

Wu Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard the shout.

He looked down at his attire—ordinary, close-fitting clothes, without official robes or armor, making him look like a wandering swordsman.

He wasn't holding a weapon either. What's going on?
