Lan Ziyi woke up almost noon, and Lan Ziyi felt that he had the most soundly slept in his life at this time.

Although Lan Ziyi woke up, he really wanted to continue sleeping, he was too tired, and it would have been better if there had been no "pop" knock on the door.

Wait, knock on the door? If there was a knock on the door, then how did Lan Ziyi wake up? Could it be that he was woken up?

Lan Ziyi turned over and gasped for a few breaths, the fresh air in the room poured into his lungs, which seemed to make Lan Ziyi's head clear.

After blinking his eyes, Lan Ziyi finally figured out where he was, and then he heard the sound of a knock on the door and a question from a rabbit outside the door:

"Young Master? Master? Woke up? ”

Then I heard someone say to Peach Chase Rabbit:

"Why don't we go in and call Wei Hou up."

Lan Ziyi heard that this was Qiu Wenruo's voice.

Hearing what Qiu Wenruo said, he replied unhappily:

"The young master has been tired for three days, and he finally has a chance to rest and rest, and it is not an emergency military situation, why do you want to bomb the young master up?

Since we don't get up, let's go, and don't make any more noises about the young master's sleep. “

Qiu Wenruo said to Tao Zhutu in a little anxious:

"But San Lang, we've knocked on the door five times this hour, and Wei Hou can't get up, and it's not easy to arrange the next step in the city."

Lan Ziyi listened to the conversation outside the door on the bed, the person had completely woken up, he kicked off the quilt and turned over to get up, without wearing clothes or armor, only wearing the clothes on his body and opening the door of the house,

The two people outside the door who had turned around and left saw Lan Ziyi coming out, Qiu Wenruo hurriedly saluted, and Tao Zhutu said:

"Young Master, woke you up?"

Lan Ziyi shook his head and said:

"It's time to wake up, now is the time to sleep."

Then Lan Ziyi asked Qiu Wenruo:

"What's the matter with Mr. Wen Ruo?"

Qiu Wenruo got up and replied:

"It's not important, it's just trivial.

First of all, the thieves in the outer cities of the city have retreated, how to settle the surrounding people in Xiangcheng City, and the towns outside the city also need to send people to contact, all of which need to be decided by the Marquis. “

Lan Ziyi shook his head after thinking about it and said:

"I'm just the former commander of the army, if the thief is in me, of course, I have to do both civil and military affairs, and control the army and the people, but now that the periphery has been lifted, the affairs of Xiangcheng should be handed over to Xiangcheng's parents and officials.

In the future, you don't need to ask me about these matters, and you will leave them to Lord Gao, and if Lord Gao needs help from our army, he will help him as much as possible. “

After a pause, Lan Ziyi said to Qiu Wenruo again:

"Now that Xiangcheng is no longer in danger, the militia recruited by the tall people should also be disbanded.

Mr. Wen Ruo took the time to talk to Master Gao about this. ”

Then Lan Ziyi shook his head and said:

"Forget it, it's better for me to go in person.

Anything else? ”

Qiu Wenruo says:

"This morning, we received reports from the surrounding counties and counties that the thieves had gathered outside the city for three days, and the surrounding villages and towns had been looted in the past three days, and all the forests on the mountains had been cut down by the thieves, the houses had been demolished, and the stones were used to attack the city, and the surrounding Xiangcheng suffered heavy losses."

Lan Ziyi frowned and said:

"First of all, please ask the old capital Luo to respond to the poll and give money to the grain and grass."

Peach Rabbit heard the words and said:

"But young master, have you forgotten the old capital? And the things in the capital? ”

Lan Ziyi was stunned for a long time when he heard this, thought about it and smiled bitterly:

"Forget it, Luo Yingmin wishes I could make a mess here, I'll still write to the court."

Qiu Wenruo said after listening to Lan Ziyi:

"That's the most important thing at the moment.

The thief Kou must have gone to the capital, so the road to Weihou's book has been blocked, but this is not the most terrible, the terrible thing is that Weihou went out of Beijing to destroy the thief, but now he is letting the thief invade the hinterland, and with Weihou's current strength, he doesn't dare to fight the thief head-on, so what should we do? Do you want to wait for reinforcements to arrive in Xiangcheng? “

Lan Ziyi listened to what Qiu Wenruo said, and the thieves needed to worry about it when they were there, and the thieves still couldn't be at peace when they left.

Lan Ziyi thought for a while and sighed:

"These things are not here to talk about, we need to bring everyone together to discuss it.

Who is in the government now? “

Hearing this, Peach Rabbit replied:

"The eldest brother has been supervising the sergeants around the city early this morning to visit the military situation, and the second brother and Li Guangzhong left the city as soon as it dawns.

I reckon it's time for the three of them to go back to the city now."

Qiu Wenruo also said:

"My father and I have been handling the paperwork sent from all over the government office, and Gao Xian ordered us to go out to patrol the city in the morning, and now we have returned to the yamen."

After hearing this, Lan Ziyi turned around and entered the house, and said as he walked:

"Mr. Xiaozhi will go to the front of everyone's office and wait for a while, I'll come as soon as I get dressed."

Qiu Wenruo turned around and walked out after hearing this, and Tao Zhutu followed Lan Ziyi in to help Lan Ziyi dress, then served tea and water, and when Lan Ziyi was dressed neatly, the two walked out of the back bedroom and came to the front yard.

The office of the Qiu family father and son in the past few days is not set up in the lobby, but arranged in the two rows of wings where the officials work, after all, the documents flying from all directions are directly handed over to the Xu officials, and they cannot directly get information from all parties in the lobby, and the father and son of the Qiu family have no official and no quality, so it is not decent to be in the lobby.

Lan Ziyi entered the largest room in the wing, and Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu also happened to come from outside the door, and the two groups of people met at the door.

Lan Ziyi saw Tao Zhulu and Tao Zhuhu holding the Guan Wang knife that Gao Yanzong threw away last night, and said with a smile:

"The second brother went out of the city to pick up a knife for Master Gao? Why didn't you see General Li come back? ”

Tao Zhulu replied:

"I went out of the city to inspect it, and then I went to the battlefield yesterday to collect the bodies of the brothers, and when I saw that it was still on the ground, I picked it up.

As for Li Guangzhong, he went north to see if he could contact the others. ”

Several people entered the house together while talking, and the father and son of the enemy family and Gao Yanzong in the house got up and saluted, Gao Yanzong saw that his big knife was recovered, and he smiled, Lan Ziyi teased:

"Isn't there a knife in the tall man? Why did the horse throw the knife last night? ”

Gao Yanzong picked up the big knife brought in by the two Tao brothers in one hand, caressed the blade and said:

"The gentleman thinks something and doesn't do something, I'm so heavy, riding a horse with someone has almost crushed the horse, if I take this knife again, I won't be able to break out of the thief formation last night."

Tao Zhulu said to Gao Yanzong:

"The knife was sitting in place, with only some signs of movement, but it wasn't lifted."

Tao Zhuhu smiled:

"The thieves can't move if they want to, but the high county order is dancing in the wind, I think this is enough to be scared by the thieves."

Everyone laughed loudly when they heard this, and the long-lost smile appeared on everyone's faces again.

After everyone was seated, Lan Ziyi found that Gao Yanzong's back was not leaning on the chair, so he asked:

"Is there a wound behind the tall man? Why not a backcheck? ”

As soon as Lan Ziyi's words came out, he hurriedly gave Lan Ziyi a look, and whispered to Lan Ziyi:

"Young Master, you forgot last night'......"

Gao Yanzong was generous and said directly:

"Wei Hou forgot to punish me with fifty military sticks last night? If I weren't fat, I would have to lie on my stomach in bed today. ”

Lan Ziyi then remembered the punishment given for entering the city last night, and he was not embarrassed, but just joked:

"The tall man has been beaten by fifty military sticks and can still walk like flying today, this is strong, not fat."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.

When the laughter falls, everyone knows that the laughter is over, and it's time to get down to business.

Lan Ziyi looked at Gao Yanzong and said:

"Now that the thieves have gone away, there is no war inside and outside Xiangcheng, I, Lan Ziyi, am only a forward general, and I have no right to interfere in civil affairs, from now on, the affairs of Xiangcheng will be responsible for your parents, I will no longer interfere, if you need any help, please ask, I will definitely do my best to help, these days the soldiers have also mingled with the people of Xiangcheng, and they will not die without help."

Gao Yanzong nodded and said:

"Wei Hou is so reasonable, of course the lower officials will handle Xiangcheng's affairs satisfactorily."

At this time, Lan Ziyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said to Gao Yanzong:

"Reasonable? I'm just doing what I do, and I can't make any sense.

Now there is something that needs to be reasonable, but I don't know if Gao is willing to do it. “

Gao Yanzong asked:

"What do you command?"

兰子义 says:

"The imperial court did not have the will to organize group exercises in various places, but Lord Gao raised such a large team in Xiangcheng.

We have been defending against the thieves before, but now that the thieves have retreated, it is time for the tall man to let the big guy go home and farm. “

After listening to Lan Ziyi, Gao Yanzong told the official to go out and bring in a few cups of tea.

When the official served tea to everyone, Gao Yanzong opened his mouth and said:

"Of course, the subordinate officials that Wei Hou said know that I have violated the rules of the court by recruiting strong men to defend the city without permission, and now that the battle of Xiangcheng has been fought, I should indeed let the big guy go home.

For the safety of the people in the city, I would like to ask the Marquis to leave some people for me, and these people can also facilitate me to repair the city and bury the corpses. “

Lan Ziyi was relieved to hear that Gao Yanzong agreed to let his people unload their armor and return to the field, Gao Yanzong himself was still very reasonable.

Then Lan Ziyi looked at Qiu Wenruo and asked:

"Sir, how many people does Xiang Cheng think is better left behind to assist in defense?"

Qiu Wenruo heard the question, picked up the document on the table, looked at it, and then flicked the abacus with his hand a few times and said:

"According to my calculations, if you want to complete the aftermath of Xiangcheng as soon as possible without delaying the farming, it is better to leave about 2,000 to 2,005 people.

Repairing the city is just a trivial matter, it needs to wait for the appropriation of the imperial court to start construction, cleaning up the corpses is the main thing, and it is necessary to maintain law and order in the city, leaving such people is just enough. “

Lan Ziyi nodded after hearing this, and Gao Yanzong also said:

"Then do as Mr. Wen Ruo said."

Then Lan Ziyi asked Qiu Wenruo again:

"So how many scattered troops did we gather before the siege of the thieves?"

Qiu Wenruo replied:

"According to the results of the inventory, there are barely 10,000 people who can continue to fight, and this also includes the people of the Jihu Battalion."

桃扸虎 also says:

"The brothers suffered heavy casualties, and the wounded and needed medical treatment were lying in more than a dozen courtyards in the city, and there was a shortage of medicinal materials."

At this time, Qiu Xiaozhi said:

"What's more nervous is the capital, we have to lead our troops to help the capital."
