The horses' hooves hurried.

  The paper is ten-color notepaper, and the light dim yellow paper is pressed with carved square plates, and the carvings on the square plates are deeply integrated into the dim yellow tones with longing.

  The ink is not the dragon and phoenix ink with ambergris added to Shezhou, nor is it the Pu Dashao ink made of oil smoke, but it is written with a thin eyebrow pencil dipped in the dailuo incense of Yu Liyan's thrush, so there is a faint fragrance familiar to Zhou Nan on the letterhead.

  The handwriting is beautiful, although there are sixteen words to chat, but Zhou Nan can no longer feel at ease after receiving the letter, and hurriedly explained some words to Gao Yuan, and without waiting for the selection of Xi Bing to end, he directly took his guards and rushed to Sanssouci Village.

  There were still some things that he didn't have time to say to Gao Yuan in person, and before Gao Yuan came over, he had already explained to Zuo Xiaosi. He really didn't have time, he delayed more than ten days here in Xianghe and Jizhou, and waited for several days for Agu Zhe to prepare for the revenge of Zunhua City. Today is the twenty-seventh, and the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve. Yang Datou and Gao Yuan were originally alone, and when they went back, they drank with Lao Zhengtou. It's all drinking, and where to drink isn't it the same?

  Rush back to Sanssouci from Zunhua City, hurry up at their usual marching speed, change horses twice along the way, and arrive in the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve.

  Yang Keshi once said that he had arranged the city defense of Anci, Sanhe, Xianghe and other places, and now he was only training troops every day, and he was stationed in Xianghe to meet the officials who came from Yanjing City every day at an uncertain time, as well as the soldiers who were transferred over, and the truckloads of grain and grass that were escorted.

  Yang Keshi is okay to lead the troops to fight, but he really has a big head when it comes to appeasing the people, rectifying civil affairs, and adjudicating disputes. Therefore, Yang Keshi has a lot of respect for these civil officials sent by Yanjing City, and he also introduced the situation of each city one by one, for fear that if there is no clarity in the slightest, he will rely on him. The people in the city also know that the current court is still in the Great Liao, but the old Liao used to be, and now it is the new Liao in charge of the horse and the princess. Anyway, it's all Da Liao, and going to the new government not only does not loot the people, but also transports grain to help those who have run out of food. The soldiers stationed there did not come to harass them in the slightest. The prefects sent by the imperial court were also busy posting notices to appease the people and persuade merchants to open their doors and never collect taxes before the year.

  The walls were guarded by soldiers, and the streets were patrolled by cavalry to deal with those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos or steal; Every day, the government will send people to give porridge at fixed times in the city; The streets were alive, shops were opening one after another, and they began to sell the goods that had been secretly hidden, and the people could barely keep their stomachs from starving, and they all began to think of ways to improve their stomachs and live a peaceful New Year.

  In the days since Zhou Nan left, according to Zhou Nan's suggestion, the official offices in Yanjing City have gradually pacified and stabilized these newly recovered prefectures and counties in an orderly manner. Now the people here are no longer living in panic, helplessness and despair more than half a month ago, and they believe that after this year, everything will be fine. I heard that the horse with the Wansheng army has already reached Zunhua, and the 80,000 Xi soldiers in Xiongzhou are already obedient. The gods and Buddhas blessed the nobles of the horses and horses in distress to become auspicious, turn evil into good fortune, recover Pingzhou all the way, and hit the seaside, which can be regarded as really stable.

  When Zhou Nan and his entourage arrived at Xianghe, it was already evening. The generals on duty in the city naturally knew Zhou Nan, and hurriedly opened the city gate and let Zhou Nan and others enter the city.

  His pro-army guards were busy changing horses and eating, Zhou Nan and Yang Keshi sat in the house and told Yang Keshi about the recovery of the five tribes of the Xi clan. Yang Keshi heard that Xiao Gan had been killed by the Eagle Guards with crossbow arrows in Zunhua City, and sighed and said, "I took my brothers to obey the order of Master Tong and enter Liaodi, and the first person who met Xiao Gan was the first to fight against Xiao Gan, and then he was always fighting against Xiao Gan, and at that time he always wanted to get rid of this thief with his own hands and avenge the dead brothers in order to relieve his hatred." I heard you say that Xiao Gan is dead just now, but I don't hate him very much, but I feel a little sorry for him. This is probably heroes cherish heroes, right? Hahaha! ”

  Seeing that Yang Keshi was so narcissistic, Zhou Nan clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The son can be taught!" This is precisely the reason why your vision and temperament have been raised to a higher level, and your realm has been improved. Just as when you were a child, you felt that the threshold was high, and when you grow up, you will not put the threshold in your eyes. ”

  Yang Keshi naturally heard the teasing meaning in Zhou Nan's mouth, opened his mouth, but couldn't argue with Zhou Nan's meaning, hehe smiled and said, "Strange people say that heroes come from cloth clothes, it turns out that I am like this!" ”

  Zhou Nan was helpless against Yang Keshi's narcissistic and shameless kung fu, and asked instead, "When I entered the city today, I saw that the city had a little appearance, I don't know what about other states and counties?" ”

  Yang Keshi Zhengse replied, "There is still one southernmost Yongqing City, and the northernmost Sanhe City, and no officials have been sent yet, but there are still official stocks in these two cities, and they have not been plundered by Xi soldiers, and everything in the city is orderly, but it is better than Xianghe, Anci, etc." Just wait for the officials to take charge, and after the New Year, they can arrange farming and restore the people's strength. Other cities have government funding, and they can also catch up with spring ploughing. It's just that I heard from the older people in the city who have experienced it that I am afraid that there will be a heavy snowfall in the next few days. ”

  After listening to Yang Keshi's detailed introduction, Zhou Nan was also relieved of these recovered states and counties. I just heard Yang Keshi say that there was a heavy snowfall in the past few days, and my heart moved, and I said to Yang Keshi, "I have promised Xi people to take the products of the clan to Yanjing City to sell for grain, if you catch up with the heavy snow, it will be difficult." ”

  Yang Keshi grinned and said, "What's so difficult about this? In vain, you are still an undefeated general with wisdom higher than the sky, how can you be like the stupid people in the city? ”

  Zhou Nan was ridiculed by Yang Keshi, and asked rhetorically, "I don't know what General Yang's clever plan is?" ”

  "I don't have half a clever plan," Yang Keshi said with a smile, "You don't have a good horse, you can only give a word of advice to the courtiers in the court, not to mention the old ministers like Yu Zhongwen, even the female Hanlin under the princess, can also come up with a few clever plans for you." After speaking, it was the same as Zhou Nan.

  Zhou Nan patted his forehead with his hand, "Thanks to Yang Daying's reminder, then Lao Yang Hero will immediately send someone to Yanjing City to send a message, and ask them to find a way to encourage the merchants in the city to go to Jizhou, and wait for Xi people to sell goods for food." Saying that, he stood up, Yang Keshi thought that Zhou Nan was going to rest, and said, "You didn't say it in advance, and you didn't prepare; The room you choose. ”

  Zhou Nan said as he walked out, "Don't stop." Brother Gao stays in Zunhua, and you can play with him for two days during the Chinese New Year. ”

  Yang Keshi asked in surprise: "Where are you going to go if you don't stay?" ”

  Zhou Nan turned around and sighed, "A husband is not free!" I'm going to rush back overnight, and the princess and Yun'er are in the cottage. ”

  "Shhhh When I took a concubine, you were still catching toads in the mountains. Yang Keshi joked that Zhou Nan came out of the house with Zhou Nan, and the three hundred pro-army guards had already hastily eaten, and the horses had also been changed.

  Zhou Nan waved his hand to Yang Keshi, took advantage of the light and starlight, and left. Like Song Chungui, please collect x Song Chungui.
