At the head of Xiakou City, Yuwen Wen raised his eyes and looked into the distance, countless warships on the river were heading east, loaded with his Hulin army and government soldiers, and now they were heading down the river towards Huangzhou downstream. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huangzhou military class division, as the commander-in-chief Yu Wenwen failed to accompany him, he now has a heavy responsibility, after a short stay in Xiakou, he has to go to Anlu to sit in Shannan for his father.

Retracting his gaze, Yuwen Wen turned around and smiled: "Zhou Yuanjun, Chen Guo has been scared of you for a while." ”

Zhou Fashang, the assassin of Ezhou, smiled slightly: "Chief, the Bazhou Chen army is just harassing, in fact, it is powerless, and now that the governor has returned with his troops, the Huangzhou territory can finally be stopped." ”

"Stop? This is not good, as the so-called 'flowing water is not rotten, and the hub is not beetle', if Zhou Envoy Jun dies down, Bazhou Chen Jun is afraid that his mind will be active again. ”

"What does the manager mean?"

"Go on."

"Xia Guan understands."

Zhou Fashang waited for this sentence, Yu Wenwen's strategy was very much to his liking, as the so-called 'attacking instead of defending', instead of dividing troops to defend the important land and consuming money and food, it was better to take the initiative to attack and disturb the deployment of the Chen army.

Yuwenwen, the governor of Huangzhou, led the troops to go out, but the Huangzhou army that stayed behind did not stop, although it did not have an advantage in terms of troops, but after taking the initiative to attack, it completely grasped the initiative, and the Chen army was exhausted.

To the east, the general manager Sima Yang Jitun soldiers were in Qikou, which made the Jiangzhou Chen army rumorful; To the west, he constantly sent troops to harass Chen Guobazhou, making the other party suspicious, and repeated the transfer of troops more than five times in a month, the fat dragged the thin, and the thin dragged down.

Although Bazhou Chen Jun saw that he was attacking, but had to be guarded, the Ezhou of Zhou was the original Yingzhou of Chen, and it was connected to the land of Bazhou of Chen to the west, and most of the Shangjun County of Yingzhou was now owned by Chen, and the county was only more than 100 miles away from Ba Ling.

From time to time, the Zhou army appeared in the suburbs of Xiajun, so that the Xiajun Chen army chickens and dogs jumped, gathered heavy troops to defend it to the death, but the farmland outside the city could not be cultivated, and now the spring ploughing began, and I am afraid that this year will be a large-scale failure if the agricultural time is missed.

However, Zhou Fashang did not mobilize the crowd because of this, because the army that attacked the border between Xia Jun and Bazhou was not actually an official army.

They are a slave hunting team that responded to Zhou Fashang's call to 'share worries for the country'.

The slave hunting teams in Ezhou, south of the Yangtze River, are basically organized by local heroes or cottage owners, and they are very familiar with the terrain at the junction of Hubei and Pakistan, and they can't do it to storm the city, but they are very good at attacking and harassing from time to time.

Under the banner of the official army, appearing in Xiajun or Bazhou can make Chen Jun smoke all over the ground, even if the other party knows that they are attacking, but he does not dare to take it lightly, because if he slacks off a little, once the Zhou army really kills, it will be over.

It is not a way to go on like this, and Bazhou Chen's army has also planned several retaliatory attacks, all of which were immediately withdrawn after the striker was frustrated, for fear of being pursued by Zhou Fashang taking the opportunity to take the opportunity.

Yu Wenwen led the troops to fight abroad for several months, and Zhou Fashang also tossed in the border area of Hubei and Pakistan for several months.

This is the effect that Yuwenwen wants, and now the situation of Zhou and Chen is that they are afraid of beating the wolf with a hemp stick, shouting and killing on their mouths, but in fact, no one wants to take the initiative to attack.

Zhou Guo's destruction of Sui is just around the corner, so he doesn't want to fight on two fronts, just like a giant python that needs to coil still to help digest its prey after swallowing it, and Chen Guo...

"Chief, the lower officials have found out the news, because the people are in turmoil everywhere, Chen Guo is in a hurry, and he has no time to look north."

"Zhou Yuanjun has a fine work in Jiankang?"

"There are many relatives and friends in Xiaguan, and there are always some old people in Jiankang City..."

There is no need to ask too clearly about this kind of thing, Zhou Fashang has an old man in Jiankang, and Yuwenwen also has "friends" in Jiankang, and all kinds of news can be "fed" to Xiyang in a timely manner.

In order to maintain Huainan Prefecture, Chen Guo did not hesitate to mobilize a large number of manpower and material resources, and after more than two years, the people have been overwhelmed, just as the Liao salary at the end of the Ming Dynasty forced hundreds of people, and the side effects of Chen Guo's "Huai salary" have appeared.

In order to prevent the evasion, the government implemented the law of joint sitting, which forced more people to flee with their families, and the powerful in various places took the opportunity to absorb the fugitives and annex the abandoned terra nullius.

Homesteaders are the pillars of the country, and taxes, soldiers, and labor are all provided by homesteaders, and now more and more yeoman farmers are bankrupt in the country, tax revenues have shrunk, and it has become more and more difficult to maintain national defense.

If you rebel, you may die, if you don't rebel, you will inevitably die the whole family, and the people who can't survive will rise up, first attacking the rice shop, then the official warehouse, then the big eater, and finally killing the official.

The large-scale civil uprising that did not occur at this time in history is like a spark ignited in Chen's country, and it is impossible to predict whether it can set the prairie on fire.

Yuwen Wen and Zhou Fashang talked for a while, the other party still had official business and retired after his death, and not long after leaving, another person climbed to the top of the city, but it was Shi Zhengtong, the governor of Ezhou.

"In the past few days, Zheng Changshi has worked hard to settle the people of Guanzhong."

"This is a matter within the duties of the lower officials, and I dare not say that it is hard."

"Don't dare, these two words are used well, those who know say that the official is a good official, and those who don't know only say that the official is not sympathetic to his subordinates, and you take advantage of it both horizontally and vertically, hahahaha."

Yu Wenwen was in a good mood, so he joked with Zheng Tong, this Liang Guoxiao turbidity official who used to be down-and-out to tell fortunes on the street, can now finally display his ambitions, although he looks a lot haggard, but he can see that he is full of energy.

"Chief, more than 4,000 households have been settled, and the lower officials supervise the whole process, and no one dares to fill their pockets or oppress the people."

"Don't talk so much, you know the virtue of the officials, don't take it lightly."

"Steward, please rest assured, these officials are carefully selected, and they all know that if they do a good job, they will have the opportunity to be reused in the future, so no one is unclean."

Zheng Tong's confidence is very full, he was the affairs officer back then, all kinds of rules, unspoken rules are clear, the resettlement of the people in Ezhou is actually led by him, and the detailed resettlement plan is formulated by Zheng Tong with his subordinates.

It's useless to just talk about it, the resettlement work in the past few days has been successfully completed, Zheng Tong's civil affairs ability has been once again demonstrated, and new challenges are coming.

"The situation in Guanzhong is unpredictable, the failure of the farmland is almost a foregone conclusion, even if the imperial court recovers Luozhou and can transport grain into Guanzhong, it will be a drop in the bucket, and many people will still have to be moved to Shannan to eat."

Yu Wenwen stared at Zheng Tong after speaking: "There are more monks and less porridge, the opportunity cannot be lost, and the loss will not come again, do you know what it means?" ”

"Governor, more people can be resettled in Ezhou!"

"Can you? This can't be a joke, the people have traveled thousands of miles to the south, and they can't go to Xiakou to starve, right? ”

"Chief, it's not a problem to build a wooden house with wood and nails supplied by the Huangzhou workshop; Clothing, bedding, and cloth supply from Huangzhou workshops are not a problem; Farm tools, with Daye Superintendent, is not a problem, but the grain has to be raised by the general manager. ”

"To put it mildly, where do you let this official get this lot of food?"

"The chief manager will inevitably have a way, and the lower officials have always been convinced."

Yu Wenwen patted Zheng Tong on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Although it is not a march to fight, do you dare to make a military order?" ”

"I wonder how many people will come to Ezhou in the future?"

"Ten thousand households."

"The lower official is willing to make a military order." (To be continued.) )
