"Pingqiu County is ahead!"

Wang Lanling rode on a horse and stood on top of a mountain cliff, looking at the farmland plains and small hills in the distance within the white snowfield.

It took him three days and two nights to get here, and the road was not easy.

Above Shanhai County is Yanshan County, and from Jinshan County there is a large lake where mountains and rivers converge, that is, Yanshan Lake, which separates herders from city dwellers.

Land that is barren and prone to degradation due to unsustainable soil has been allocated to pastoralists, and for a long time it has formed a structure of wasteland and grassland, making it more difficult to grow crops.

This land, which could only be used for grazing, belonged to the herdsmen of Tianmu County and Yanshan County, and Wang Lanling took this road when he went to the state capital, and the pioneers of Yanshan County occupied the most suitable area for farming.

Just as the people of Shanhai County are concentrated near the best land in Shanhai County, the migrants from the interior of Yanshan County chose to farm the land instead of grazing from the beginning.

Because of the relationship between Yanshan Lake and Yanshan, the environment is relatively better, there are large grasslands and forests, and basically the population of Muzhou is in Yanshan County and Tianmu County in addition to the state capital.

The religious group of Yanshan County is on the high Yanshan Mountain, and Wang Lanling did not pass through there this time.

First, because I don't want to deal with these people, it is easy to delay time, and secondly, there are many canyons and ravines near Yanshan, where the forests are dense, and it is not suitable for cavalry to approach.

According to Bai Qingshuang, because the construction of military structures such as defensive walls was forbidden in religious sites, some people began to plant trees under the mountain.

As for whether it is an anti-officer or a bandit, it is difficult to say.

Now that he has finally arrived at his destination, Wang Lanling turned his horse's head and began to descend the mountain.

Chai Tuo had already sent a cavalryman to Pingqiu County to spread the word, and after a few days of rapid marching, everyone's face, lips, ears, nose and other places had obvious changes, and they were frostbitten to varying degrees.

Wang Lanling touched his nose, his nose always felt a little tingling, and he needed to warm it with his hands.

But as soon as the hand leaves the nose and after breathing for a while, the uncomfortable feeling returns.

To march in such a harsh environment, what is needed is not only tenacious will and the ability to endure hardships, but also sufficient materials and armaments.

"After I go in, I'll find a way to get you something to eat, just eat noodles and jerky in the past few days, and a few people who are not feeling well and have a cold, so they will be placed in the city to rest for a few days."

When Wang Lanling came out, he didn't bring many things, but he still had a few thousand yuan.

Wu Chi said: "My lord, you don't have to break the bank, the food is very good these days, it is better to finish the matter as soon as possible, and the brothers and you should go back early." ”

Wang Lanling wasn't sure how much time it would take this time, mainly because there would be a lot of problems involved in quelling the chaos.

"After I go in, I will ask the people of Pingqiu County what is going on, the above means to arrest the county lord of Yin County, and I am also thinking about how to do this."

If you arrest someone, whether it is hard or gentle, these are all questions.

When it was time to die, Wang Lanling had never relented, but among the people who came out with him, Wang Lanling was unwilling to lose one.

Just as the troops descended from the mountain and slowly approached the village outside the county seat, they found a group of people standing at the entrance of the village.

There are men and women, old people, women and children.

Some people are using brooms and baskets to clear the snow, while others are paving the road with wooden planks and other things to make the road smoother.

There are also donkeys, camels, and gray snow deer, which are orthodox snow animals, and are more suitable for the current environment than horses.

The people of the Hu Camel tribe ride camels, which themselves are most suitable for desert and snow environments, and are cold and drought tolerant.

As for walking on the snow mountain, it is a donkey, and when Lin Zunian picked up Wang Lanling earlier, he rode a donkey.

The number of snow deer is relatively small, mainly wild, and the people of Muzhou rarely raise this, they are all caught and sold, bought and used.

Wang Lanling looked at the people in front of him, and saw that the people over there also noticed this side, and after a commotion, someone came over soon.

Hu Zhong quickly stepped on the hard ice and snow fragments, and when he stepped on the snow with a firm step, he could hear the creaking sound of the snowflakes being crushed.

"My lord! I arrived here this morning, the tribe of the Wild Goose King sent 600 warriors, we thought that you would only come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the leader of the team was the third son of the Wild Goose King, Brother Yan. ”

Wang Lanling listened to Hu Zhong's words, and then looked at the masked girl standing next to the gray snow deer not far away, and said, "I remember that you said earlier that you were going to the tribe to greet your relatives last autumn, is that girl?" ”

Hu Zhong said solemnly: "Yes, she is the eldest granddaughter of King Yan, Yanqiu." ”

Wang Lanling got off the horse, led the horse and Hu Zhong and walked inside.

"Put aside the children's personal feelings first, I will be the presiding officer for you after this matter, what is the current situation here?"

Hu Zhong is also a serious person, and said directly: "I have already met some people in the city, some time ago, the people of Yin County came here to kill and loot, and now the public opinion in the city is boiling, after hearing that you are coming over, everyone is preparing things, and they want to burn all the people of Yin County to ashes with you!" ”

Wang Lanling frowned, he didn't expect that his reputation would be reflected in this kind of place.

"Are there a lot of people dead here?"

Hu Zhong said in a low voice: "There are more than two or three thousand people who died, in addition to the county lord's family who was killed, there are also some big families in the shops on the streets of the city who have been taken care of. ”

"But the main thing is that the people on the streets of the city have suffered the most, many girls and women have been harmed, and valuable things and family property have also been robbed, and what can't be taken away is a fire."

Not only Shanzhou, but also the big families in Muzhou also have a good habit of living in a fort.

The place inside the walls is always worth more than the place outside, and people are used to living near the rich, which is a subconscious insecurity.

When human beings are full of thinking about keeping their distance from others, thinking that it is better where there are fewer people, it may be an era of peace.

Wang Lanling lives in the Xianshui Palace, which is far away from the county seat, which is the most abnormal choice in this era.

Even if it is the residence of the princes and nobles, it will not be far from the downtown area and neighborhoods, and the same is true for the Jiang family.

"People on the street, ......" Wang Lanling roughly knew which group of people suffered the most losses this time.

Wealthy families have high-walled courtyards and a large number of relatives to protect themselves, so usually unless it is the kind of disaster in the whole county, it is generally the kind that has the least loss.

This kind of person will not think about revenge, even if he loses a little.

If you fight back, your own family will have to contribute, and for the elders in the clan, the wisest thing at this time should be steady.

Anyway, they are still big families here, and they are the most reluctant to take risks at this time.

Except, of course, when there are benefits.

The people on the street are different, these people do not have too strong resistance to pressure, so they can't calm down after suffering a great loss.

If you are robbed, you will fight back, and you will take revenge!

In short, it's probably the difference between those who wear shoes and those who don't.

Yan Qiu saw Wang Lanling coming over, and said respectfully: "Yan Qiu to meet Lord Wang, my grandfather has always admired Lord Wang's prestige, this time after hearing that Lord Wang needs help, he directly sent most of the warriors in the clan to help." ”

Wang Lanling said politely: "I have received the kindness of King Yan, and after this incident, I will make a special trip to thank you." ”

Yan Qiu quickly said: "The Yan King tribe will greet you grandly when the time comes. ”

Wang Lanling glanced at the people nearby and said, "Who is in charge of Pingqiu County at the moment?" ”

Hu Zhong said: "There is no one in charge for the time being, after the county lord's family was killed, everyone was busy with their own affairs, and now the corpses are frozen in the yard, when I went to check, I saw the snow vulture biting the corpse, and no one here cares about this at all." ”

When Wang Lanling heard this, he said: "The people here have suffered heavy losses, so I won't recruit people from here, Chai Tuo, you take someone to help dispose of the corpse, and put the dead of each family into the ground first, and don't disturb the people!" ”

"Yes!" Chai Tuo quickly agreed.

Wang Lanling said to Hu Santu beside him: "Hu Santu, you and Tian are not afraid to take twenty people separately to check the losses in the grain warehouse and other places, and they will meet at the gate of the city when they are almost over." ”

Hu Santu and Tian were not afraid to say quickly: "Yes! ”

These two places should be basically clean, but some ledgers and other things may still be there, and others can only use one as firewood or wipe their buttocks.

Pingqiu County is near a relatively gentle hill, while Yin County is a mountain at the foot of a mountain.

Both places have walls eight and ten meters high, and Wang Lanling does not have the ability to attack the city at all.

Wang Lanling said to the rest of the people: "We won't go into the city, now the city is seriously damaged, it is inevitable that people will panic after we go in, we will rest in the village for one night today, and go to Yin County tomorrow morning." ”

In fact, I don't want to be touched by those who are bent on revenge, the main force on Wang Lanling's side are all Shanzhou people, and there are some natural problems between Shanzhou people and Muzhou people.

In addition, now that the name is justified, if you lead the injured people on the street to Yin County, it is estimated that even if you break into Yin County, some large-scale incidents will occur.

"Hu Zhong, send someone to tell the people in the city that I was ordered to beg for thieves, and I am taking the path of justice!"

"Anyone who commits sins here in Pingqiu County, I will not let go of any of them, and the murderer will definitely pay for his life!"

"Anyone who is in trouble in Pingqiu County, who takes advantage of the fire to rob, is limited to surrender here outside the city within one day, I will be in love, and if it is reported and exposed afterwards, I will be beheaded!"

"All those under my command will walk with me, walk with me, walk with righteousness and justice, freeze to death without demolishing houses, starve to death without plundering! Do not enter the people's homes without authorization, and do not steal and take anything from the people's homes! ”

"Violators, slash!"

Some things are not taught in school, but some things are interconnected.

If you don't want to solve people and problems directly through the simplest way, then you have to go to some trouble and solve the victim and the perpetrator together.

The orthodox approach is to take the victim and kill the perpetrator in order to vent his anger and make up for the loss, and by the way, he will also make a profit.

In previous years, the confrontation between Shanzhou people and Muzhou people was like this, solving the problem while solving some people.

Slaughtering the city, literally two words, the generational blood feud between the Shanzhou people and the Muzhou people, it is really difficult to explain clearly in just two words.

What Wang Lanling did at this time is something that does not conform to the concept of the current times.
