"Yizhou is understaffed, and the wind and sand are extremely large, so it is a little dirty, don't blame the county guard!" Zhao Guangren said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's not to go to Nafu in Illinois." Situ Changfeng waved his hand and said.

Entering the county guard's mansion, together with Gongsun Feiyan's personal guards, a total of 300 people, naturally separated to clean up.

The two found a clean place to sit down, and Zhao Guangren began to introduce him to the situation in Yizhou.

"Outside the Yumen Pass in Yizhou, it has always been not valued by the imperial court, and the Turks do not want to attack Xiai, because it is really not of much use here.

I also had to divide my troops to defend it, and I also faced the retaliation of Yumen Pass, so it has always existed.

And the condition for the survival of Yizhou is to rely on some taxes from past merchants, because the taxes are not high, so merchants like to settle down for i times. Zhao Guangren introduced.

"Yizhou has a population of 16,000 Tang people, Turkic, Tuyuhun, Western Regions people 8,000, and 3,000 guards.

But if it is said to be a guard, it is just a guard on the one hand, and the supplies given by the imperial court are really limited. Zhao Guangren's expression darkened and continued.

"I see, why is the general so young that he is willing to keep this place here." Situ Changfeng nodded in understanding, and then asked puzzled.

"The last general's family has lived here for hundreds of years, and it has been the city guard of Yizhou since a few generations ago, and after his father died in battle, the last general naturally became the city guard." Zhao Guangren said with a sincere smile, not a trace of dissatisfaction with his situation.

"General Zhao's family is really Gaoyi, this time I brought a lot of materials under it, I should be able to make some improvements, and wait for two days, I will make arrangements for everyone." Situ Changfeng said admiringly.

"It's best if the county guard arranges it like this, the last general will gather everyone tomorrow to wait for the county guard's review! The last general's family has ancestral training, guarding the border for generations, and does not participate in court disputes, so they have always stayed here. Zhao Guangren explained with a smile.

"It's really commendable, and the ancestors are really admirable! As for the matter of gathering soldiers. Then it will be troublesome to the general, I don't know anything about Yizhou, and I ask the general to point out all the wrongs. Situ Changfeng was also very satisfied with this young city guard, he did not have the cunning of an older person, he spoke directly and sincerely.

"The county guard has asked something, and the last general will definitely know everything!" Zhao Guangren should also feel good about Situ Changfeng, after all, everyone is about the same age, so he gave a positive answer.

"I wonder who is the main enemy that Illinois is facing? But the Turks? Situ Changfeng asked puzzled.

"The county guard did not guess wrong, it can be said that it is Turkic, it can also be said that it can be said that it is a horse bandit, and the Turks, the people of the Western Regions, often pretend to be horse bandits, steal the people near Yizhou, and pass by to do business.

This is also the reason why Yizhou is gradually desolate, there are very few merchants in the Tang Dynasty who have gone to the Western Regions, even if they are some big families, they have some relationship with the Western Regions. Zhao Guangren introduced.

"Thank you General for clarifying your doubts, so it will be much clearer below." After Situ Changfeng heard this, he suddenly felt that the fog in front of him had dissipated, and he knew a lot about Yizhou, so he hurriedly thanked him.

"You are polite, as long as it is for Yizhou, the last general will be at the disposal of the county guard!" Zhao Guangren assured.

The two talked in detail, and they both felt good and gained a lot.

Situ Changfeng first arrived, and he was already very satisfied with this situation, and after Zhao Guangren left, he thought about it carefully and made some plans, and then stopped.

Listening to Zhao Guangren's introduction, he also knew that Yizhou was not only not calm, but also quite sinister, and there was a possibility of a battle at any time.

Ah Niu can only fight with i to break the formation, and the leaders are a little worse, it can be said that he is fighting alone, fortunately, Zhao Guangren looks good, and he is familiar with Yizhou, as for whether he is particularly relied on, only in the future.

…………

Early the next morning, Zhao Guangren greeted Situ Changfeng and went to the military camp in the city.

"The last general will see the county guard, under the command of three thousand and sixteen Yizhou city guards, except for five hundred people to guard the city, the rest are all here, a total of two thousand five hundred and sixteen people." Zhao Guangren carried the weapon and said loudly.

"You guard the border for the Tang Dynasty, you really work hard, the court has not forgotten you, but the whip is beyond reach, this time the official before I, specially brought the court's condolences.

Zhao Chengshou! Situ Changfeng looked at the group of weather-beaten men below, not to mention the poor equipment, even the weapons had wooden sticks, and he couldn't help but sour his nose and said loudly.

"The last general!" Zhao Guangren stepped forward and responded loudly with his fists clenched.

"Today's labor army! You have to arrange a rotation, and then let the lieutenant colonel and above officials discuss the matter in the council room. Situ Changfeng said softly.

"Don't worry, the county guard understands, and it must be arranged." Zhao Guangren nodded and replied.

Not long after Situ Changfeng entered the conference hall, Zhao Guangren brought six people into I.

"See the county guard!" After a few people entered the i, they clasped their fists again and saluted.

"You're welcome, please introduce yourself!" Situ Changfeng stretched out his hand and invited a few people to sit down.

"Xia Guanjun Sima Gu Mingyan!"

"Xiaguan Yuan County Keeper Bo Chen Shouru!"

"Xiaguan marching master Bo Zhou Tingyang!"

"The last general Captain Zhou Qi!"

"The last general, Captain Fan Gang!"

"The last general Captain Miao Ming!"

"Everyone, please sit down, this official has just arrived, and you will need more help in the future, at present, everyone is still performing their duties, and after the official understands Yizhou, he naturally has another important task!" Situ Changfeng said with a smile.

"The subordinates understand, and they should do their best to maintain Yizhou!"

"That's it! Today is to get to know you, now the labor army is celebrating outside, everyone go and have fun with everyone, Zhao Chengshou stays for the time being! Situ Changfeng continued.

"Subordinates retire!" Situ Changfeng did not change everyone's positions, and in order to make things difficult, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and walked out relaxed.

"I don't know what else the county guard will tell the last general!" Zhao Guangren asked puzzled.

"You and I are about the same age, Guangren, you don't have to be so restrained in private, just call a certain Brother Situ!" Situ Changfeng said with a pleasant face.

"Etiquette cannot be abolished, how can the last general be honored and inferior!" Zhao Guangren refused with a stiff face.

"That's it! In the future, in private, you don't have to worry too much, you are young, and there are so many rules. Situ Changfeng pretended not to look at his expression, and forced the next i.

"Yes! The last will obey. Zhao Guangren smiled and nodded, expressing his understanding of Situ Changfeng's kindness.

"Brother Guangren, can you introduce the Sima just now, the main Bo, and the officials in the city, it is best to introduce them big and small." Situ Changfeng asked expectantly.
