Zhu Wen failed to follow him to Panyuan County after all.

When Li Kou told him about the chaos of the homeless people, Zhu Wen was surprised to find that Li Kou knew everything.

He even knew very clearly what small conflicts there were with the village elders.

Li Kou only told Zhu Wen one sentence: "Although they are willing to follow me to the military village, I am afraid that they will inevitably have their own ideas." Hugh forgot, I have not only hated the civil officials but also fought with the Western Xia, and the thieves will secretly buy the homeless people in order to harm my establishment of the village. You watch them carefully, and if you have, just remember them—who will keep an eye on them when you have arrived in Pan Yuan? ”

These words not only made Zhu Wen admire, but also taught him to be afraid in his heart.

Li Dalang is not the Li Dalang that anyone can see through.

Li Kou was quite embarrassed at this time, he was not good at riding a horse, so he naturally had to hug the horse's neck.

Murong Yanda was in a much better mood.

He turned around and confronted Orihiko with a smile and said, "Li Dalang can do everything, and he can't." ”

Orihiko smiled and said, "With Dalang's cleverness, he will definitely learn it quickly." ”

Li Kou just laughed, and he was fast all the way along the official road, even if he rode his horse slowly.

About fifty miles, Li Kou only felt that the horse was still warming up and arrived at Pan Yuan.

Pan Yuan is very small, leaning on a mountain to the north, a loess-colored rammed city, with no suspension bridges, moats, and few large armies to guard.

Li Kou guessed in his heart that the location of this place was about in the area of Cao Wan in later generations.

From here to the east is the mouth of the valley, which is also the origin of the name of the place of Panyuan.

Li Kou looked at the north mountain behind the city, and his mood was suddenly agitated.

From here, all the way to the east, out of the Pangu Pass, turn around and turn back, all the way to the northwest, up the mountain, to the top of the mountain, is his hometown.

He had never felt so close to his hometown before.

He had never felt so far away from his hometown for a day.

I really want to go straight back to my hometown right away!

Li Kou's mood turmoil made the old pawn very strange.

He took the initiative to remind: "Is Lang Jun going to set up a village on the mountain?" ”

Li Kou looked at the sky and said, "It's on the west mountain in the north." ”

At this time, someone in the city shouted.

Li Kou recognized Murong Yanda a little more.

Although he was flustered, he was still the one who arranged for the people of the city.

Murong Yanda shouted: "The reinforcements have arrived, and you will open the city gate soon." ”

More than a dozen people flashed out of the city, overlooking the city less than two feet high.

Murong Yanda's official robe was the most conspicuous, and there was a panic at the head of the city, and someone suddenly ordered the city gate to be opened.

Zhe Yanzhi glanced back at Li Kou, and saw that Li Kou's brows were tightly locked, and his heart was relieved.

This man is a man who understands the basics of military affairs.

Murong Yanda said with a ashamed face: "I can't control the Xiang Army." ”

This was the overall problem of the Song Dynasty.

Li Kou now finally understands what was going on with the military system of the Song Dynasty.

If there is no war, the civilian officer is the general who governs the army.

It's just the forbidden army and the van soldiers.

The archers were already under the control of the magistrate.

At the beginning of the war, the civilian officials assigned military generals to lead the army.

In this process, the military generals also have to be questioned anytime and anywhere by the civilian clique.

After the battle, Wu will continue to return to the local lord, and the power to command the army will become a civilian official.

Such a system will not know the soldiers, and it will be very difficult for the military generals group to hold the Song Dynasty for two hundred years.

What's more, the most fundamental part of the military system of the Song Dynasty was to strengthen the imperial court and weaken the localities.

In actual action, where there is a war, the Beijing Division Forbidden Army will be dispatched to conquer.

Such an army that does not know the soldiers and the generals, plus the forbidden army stationed in Beijing and does not understand the actual situation of the destination of the battle.

How can this still be warn? And how to deal with the nomads who have a huge advantage in cavalry?

Although Murong Yanda is now a civil official, his status as a disciple is enough for the civilian official group to guard against him.

Pan Yuan's county-affiliated Xiang Army and Weizhou's Xiang Army are now also led by others in Panyuan.

This is another example of Murong Yanda's differential treatment of the civilian clique.

If you know the county or even the county order, you are generally the training officer of the county army.

Who made Murong Yanda a general.

"Why are you so cautious?" Murong Yanda rode into the city, and saw that the Xiang army was not hiding behind the female wall but gathering under the city, and couldn't help but scold angrily.

Li Kou took a closer look at the box soldiers in the county, and the difference between them and the box soldiers under the state government was really obvious.

Most of the Xiang troops under the state government were clothed with armor, and they had basic firearms such as bows and arrows, spears and knives in their hands.

The only soldiers belonging to the county government are cloth armor, spears and swords.

Only a handful of people have bows and arrows in their hands.

However, there is a fixed bed crossbow at the head of the city, facing the inside and outside.

Murong Yanda's anger and the dozens of soldiers brought by Zheyan were enough to make the soldiers afraid.

There were about 300 of them, looking at each other and bowing their heads.

Murong Yanda shouted: "Liu Dutou, you come - why is Zhang Prison missing?" ”

In the crowd, a man wearing a felt hat and a greasy and dirty cloth armor stood out, glanced at Murong Yanda and said with a wry smile, "Prison Zhang will be murdered."

Murong Yanda screamed in surprise and took a few steps back.

Li Kou was also taken aback, Zhang Jian was the commander of Pan Yuanxiang's soldiers, and he was already protected by local soldiers, and now he knew that there was an enemy in the county, he shouldn't have run out to die, so he was killed by the western thieves? Is Pan Yuan's military protection capability so low?

Murong Yanda turned around and asked Zhi Yanqing: "Now the prison is being killed by thieves......"

Zhi Yanzhi immediately said: "The matter is urgent, Murong Zhixian should use the law of the national dynasty to first manage the military and political affairs of a county, and then make arrangements." ”

Murong Yanda nodded: "If you want to kill a thief, you must not be as knowledgeable as those people." ”

He asked Li Kou, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Kou asked Liu Dutou: "Where was Zhang imprisoned and killed?" ”

Liu Dutou was surprised by Li Kou's age, but seeing that he was tall and holding a big gun, he was a character.

He glanced at Murong Zhixian before saying where Zhang was imprisoned and killed.

The place where the entrance to Rice Grain Street is about to be.

Murong Yanda said: "Pan Yuan only has one grain store, which was opened by Zhang Dalang, a big family, and his ancestors were grain merchants, and over time, the location of the grain store is convenient to call this name." ”

Li Kou said: "Brother Murong knows a lot about the terrain. ”

Murong Yanda smiled bitterly and told Li Kou that he only found out when he went to inspect.

"Do you have any opinions?" Murong Yanda hurriedly returned to the county government to announce the news.

Zhi Keshi is the person who sets the army on Jingyuan Road, and since he sent his second son over, he must pay attention to Pan Yuan's thief news.

This is a good time for Murong Yanda to calm the hearts of the people.

Li Kou said: "Zhang Prison cares about the people's livelihood so far that he actually visited the grain store in person? ”

Murong Yanda scolded with a sneer: "Where does that fat guy have such a heart." ”

He suddenly reacted.

Could it be that the guy went to the grain store at this time for no reason?

"Brother Murong must allow me to lead the soldiers to investigate, there must be something strange about the death of Zhang Prisoner, if there is no strong excuse, it is that someone has met there to talk secretly, Xu is a thief, maybe there is another conspiracy. It's just ......" Li Kou shook his head and said, "I can't convict for the time being, I'll talk about it later." ”

I'm afraid that guy is really a thief, after all, he has no reason to go and check at this time.

Otherwise, he would be a good official who is "loyal to the king and loves the people".

In that case, he would be a daring fool who would be desperate to make a difference.

Li Kou had to see the scene and ask his neighbors to get a glimpse of the truth.
