Li Xin's explanation made everyone feel a little relieved. But it is impossible for them to understand it thoroughly, after all, Li Xin has no way to explain to them the things that contain many elements in the human body.

"If you don't believe me, go over and see, if my guess is right, there must be a lot of dry bones under the grass!" Seeing that they were all suspicious, Li Xin couldn't help but shake his head and said helplessly.

Hearing this, everyone, look at me, I look at you, after all, no one dares to step out. In the end, Tu Qi was more bold, or he trusted Li Xin very much, so he gritted his teeth and called a few bold soldiers to go over together.

After a while, the few of them ran back from that side.

"General, what you said is indeed right, there are indeed a lot of dry bones in the grass, and those ghost fires are floating out of the bones!" Tu Qixing said excitedly, and he didn't know what he was happy about.

After getting the exact news, everyone was finally relieved, and the curious people hurriedly ran over to take a look for themselves. After everyone had seen it, finally, the ghost fire theory had subsided.

"General, what's wrong with you?" When Tu Qi saw Li Xin on the side, his face seemed to be very unsightly, and he couldn't help but care.

"Nothing, just seeing so many ghost fires, you think about how many dry bones there are in this ground. The war in Guanzhong has been in turmoil for many years, the people have been displaced, and the dead and wounded are sleeping. Today's population of Guanzhong has decreased sharply, far from being like the grand occasion of the year! The goal of our Huashan Army is to hope that one day, this place in the middle of the pass can reproduce the prosperity of the past! Li Xin said leisurely.

Hearing this, Tu Qi and the others couldn't help but be silent. They had looked at the people in the grass, and they could basically guess how many dead bones existed underneath, if it weren't for the weeds covering them, they would have been in a miserable situation in front of them.

"Now that this place is under our jurisdiction, we should not let this kind of tragedy happen again!" After a long time, Tu Qi said a word.

"Yes, this is our mission of Huashan Army! Not only will this kind of tragedy not happen again in Guanzhong, but also that this kind of tragedy will not happen in the world again! Let's go! Let's set off overnight and rush to Xiayang County! Li Xin sighed and said slowly. Since I was not in the mood to stay any longer, I decided to go overnight.

That night, on the way to Xiayang, Li Xin and his party not only saw a place where ghost fire was prevalent, but they could often come across such a place. From the novelty at the beginning, to the silence later, and then to the depression, everyone seemed to slowly feel a heavy feeling.

The area near the bottom of the mountain is far inferior to the banks of the Weishui River, and even if it has suffered a lot of natural disasters, it is actually much better than the north. The key is that there are many people living there, and here, many people have already fled, leaving only a barren area, and there will be no traces of people until they get close to the city.

The next morning, Li Xin and the others appeared outside Xiayang County, and it was not early at this time, so the city gate was already open. There are people guarding outside the city gate, it is the soldiers of the Huashan army, because the current Huashan soldiers are insufficient, so there is a certain emphasis on the arrangement of these guards and officials.

For example, Chongquan County and Xiatai County, which are deep in the plains, basically only arrange officials, plus a small number of soldiers to garrison. For example, Xiayang County, Dali County, and Huayin County are located in dangerous places and are close to the banks of the Yellow River, so more soldiers are specially arranged to garrison them. Not only the soldiers, but even the county orders were directly sent by Huayin City, like Xiayang County, there were 300 soldiers stationed inside.

Those guards were alert, and after seeing Li Xin's group approaching from a distance, they immediately put on a defensive posture. At the same time, send someone to inquire!

"The villain is the captain!" It was a small military commander who came, and the people of Huashan Army basically knew Li Xin, so after seeing Li Xin's appearance clearly, he hurriedly saluted.

"Excuse me! The brothers have worked hard, has this Xiayang County been peaceful recently? Li Xin nodded and said gently.

"Back to Lord Lieutenant, everything is fine in the city!" Xiao Wu replied.

"That's good, I'll go into the city and have a look!" When Li Xin heard this, he led the people to the city.

The city is not particularly large, but it is located on the west bank of the Yellow River, and is blocked by the Huanglong Mountains to the north and northwest. And if you go north along the narrow place on the west bank of the Yellow River, you can directly go to Wuyuan County and Shangjun in the Han Dynasty, or you can directly detour to Qinzhou Liangzhou from this place and go straight to Longdong.

However, this distance is very far, not to mention the difficult road, mainly because it has to pass through many Hu people's settlements in the middle, which is very unsafe. But even so, Li Xin still secretly kept this path in his heart, maybe he could use it in the future. Of course, it is precisely because of this factor that the strategic location of the city of Xiayang County is revealed.

As long as Xiayang County is occupied, it can hold the Yellow River and cut off the way for the enemy from the north to invade Guanzhong along the Yellow River south. At the same time, it can also guard against the enemy from Hedong County and Pingyang County on the east bank of the Yellow River on the opposite side, and shield the entire northeastern part of the Guandong River.

Coupled with the Dali County in the south and the existence of Tongguan, basically, the line of the Yellow River in the east of the Guandong is all blocked. In this way, Li Xin can basically focus on the defense line facing Fu Qin in the west, so the two county towns of Xiayang and Dali must pay special attention.

If you want to say that this Xiayang County has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. Before Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, the Qin State and the Jin State, and later the Wei State, all broke out in this place for many years. And when it comes to any romantic characters, there is one particularly famous, that is, Sima Qian, who wrote the historical records, he is from Xiayang! Therefore, it can be regarded as a historical city.

After the group entered the city, they immediately attracted the attention of the people in the city. Many of the people, though somewhat frightened, took refuge under the eaves or simply closed their doors and windows. But there are still a lot of people looking at Li Xin and them curiously, and gradually, everyone knows who is coming.

"Is this the captain of the Huashan Army? Didn't he say that he had three heads and five eyes, and he was so tall that he could crack the earth when he stepped on it? Why does it look like us? The curious people all looked at Li Xin's body and talked in a whisper.

"Look at what you're saying, if you really look like that, is it still human?" After hearing this, someone immediately couldn't help laughing.

"Hmph, how could this Li Hantang be the same as us, if he was an ordinary person, how could he defeat the Fu Qin army one after another? Even that Fu Xiong Jing died at his hands! The man who spoke first immediately argued.

"This Li Xin is so young! When I heard about him, I thought he was an old man! ”

"Really, it doesn't look like he's a little older than me!"

Li Xin didn't know much about the discussions of the people next to him, and he still didn't know what the people around him thought of him, the leader of the Huashan Army. Although there are not many people in this county, after seeing the desolate scenery all night, he finally saw a lot of popularity, which also made his mood much better.

After getting the news of his arrival, the Xiayang County Commander took several of his subordinate officials out to greet him.

"Rank and wait, see Lord Captain!" The leader is a middle-aged man about thirty years old, and the few people behind him are not too young. After seeing Li Xin, these people all saluted in awe with awe.

"Excuse me! Let's talk to the ya! Li Xin nodded, and then said.

Soon, when the group arrived at the county office, they sat in the lobby, and Li Xin naturally sat in the top seat.

"You are Lu Sanzai! Before coming, Jing Luo specially mentioned you, saying that you are meticulous and clear, neat and decisive, and never drag your feet in doing things! After sitting down, Li Xin looked at the people present, and finally fell on the county magistrate and said slowly.

The name of the Xiayang County Commander is Lu Fang, the word is three years, and he is one of the displaced people recruited when the Huashan Army was just established. It was only later that this person's talent was slowly discovered by Wang Meng, so he was promoted to work beside him, and now he will be released to take charge of himself.

Since Huashan Army is not yet a formal Zheng An, it does not even have a formal official system. Not to mention the official system, even this official uniform is still the set directly used by the Qin court. Of course, the Fu Qin court also picked up the previous dynasty, and he didn't innovate himself!

"The captain has won the prize! The lower officials are shallow in learning, if it weren't for the Huashan Army and the cultivation of the king's book, how could there be today! Lu Fang hurriedly stood up and said respectfully.

"I saw it when I entered the city, although the county town is not very good, but at least the people are not in chaos, and everyone's life is normal. If you can do this in a short period of time, it shows that you are indeed really talented and practical! My Huashan Army is different from other places, as long as you have real talent and real learning, you can be reused, so you don't have to be arrogant and too modest! When Li Xin heard this, he shook his head slightly, he really didn't like the overly polite attitude of these people.

"Thank you for the praise of the captain, the lower officials will make persistent efforts to let the people of Xiayang County live a good life!"

"If you understand! This Xiayang County is located in a key area, so you must always be careful to avoid being taken advantage of! If there is anything unusual, immediately send someone to report to the king's master book and me to know! Li Xin nodded and deliberately explained.
