Zhang Ping nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"What else did the barbarian confess?"

"Their group of barbarians, just them, as for how many barbarians are in other places, they don't know very well, now the battle here in Yizhou has been disrupted, and it is not clear who is who, and it is not clear where is the main battlefield and where is the rear."

Liu Xiu listened carefully, while slowly stacking the map, and when Zhang Ping finished speaking, he pondered for a while, handed the map in his hand to Liu Xiu, and whispered: "Ah Xiu, you and Jingzhi are responsible for sending these women to the local government, and after you are done, you will follow this map to find those belongings, if you find them, change to a safe place and hide them again, and when the battle is over and we evacuate Yizhou, we will take those belongings home." ”

Take out those belongings now and take them with you, firstly, it is easy to attract people's eyes, and secondly, it is too inconvenient.

Let others be responsible for this matter, Liu Xuan is not very relieved, after all, when it comes to money, he can only feel at ease if he lets his younger brother deal with it.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, big brother!" ”

Liu Xuan looked at Zhang Ping again and said, "Respect, Ah Xiu will bother you to take care of it." ”

Zhang Ping didn't speak, but just bowed to Liu Xuan.

After they finished the discussion, Liu Xiu announced the results of the discussion, and Liu Xiu and Zhang Ping took a small team of people to escort the women to the nearby Tin County and handed them over to the local government to deal with.

And Liu Xuan led the others and continued to march in the direction of the county seat.

He asked, "Who wants to follow Ah Xiu and Jing Zhi?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tong walked out of the crowd quickly and said, "Lord Liu, my subordinates are willing to go!" ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then followed out, saying, "My subordinates are willing to go." ”

It didn't take long, and dozens of people came out one after another. Liu Xuan smiled, casually clicked a few people, and said, "You don't need so many people, just a few of you." ”

In addition to Li Tong and Li Yi, Liu Xuan named five strong and warlike men.

Liu Xiu, Long Yuan, Zhang Ping, Li Tong, Li Yi, plus five strong men, they happened to be a group of ten people.

There are many people, and Liu Xuan doesn't want the location of the barbarians to hide their money to be exposed.

To make a long story short, their troops were divided into two routes, and Liu Xuan led a large army to the county town.

Liu Xiu and Zhang Ping took the women kidnapped by the barbarian soldiers to the nearby Tin County first, and after handing them over to the Tin County government, they went to the county town to join the large army.

Tin County is located in the southern part of Baishan and is the closest city to them.

The small town is not big, and there are only a few thousand households, 10,000 or 20,000 people.

The arrival of Liu Xiu and Zhang Ping was warmly welcomed by the county magistrate Zhou Bin.

The main thing was a gift they brought, which made Zhou Bin very happy, more than a hundred thumbs of the right hand of the brute.

This shows that the rebels killed more than 100 barbarians in Baishan, which also made Zhou Bin get rid of a large part of his heart.

With so many barbarians in their own jurisdiction, they really want to make trouble, I don't know how many people will be killed or injured, and whether their official hats can be kept!

Looking at the severed finger that filled most of the basket, Zhou Bin felt relieved, he swallowed his saliva and asked, "Didn't you say that there are more than fifty barbarians in Baishan?" ”

Zhang Ping doesn't like to talk, and he is not good at socializing.

Liu Xiu continued: "Lord Zhou doesn't know, the barbarians hiding in Baishan are not a group, but several groups of people, this time I also wasted the strength of the two tigers to wipe it out in one fell swoop, and also rescued many women who were kidnapped by the barbarians." As he spoke, he gestured to the women standing in the courtyard.

Zhou Bin nodded again and again, and couldn't help but sigh: "This time it's really thanks to your Xiangyang Righteous Army, otherwise, the official doesn't know what to do." ”

Tin County does not have its own local army, only a few dozen officials, even these officials have now been transferred by the county government, and there are only a pitiful dozen people left in the county officials.

If these dozen or so officials were allowed to go to Baishan to exterminate the barbarians, it would be tantamount to beating a dog with meat buns.

Seeing that Liu Xiu and the others were all covered in blood and mud, Zhou Bin hurriedly beckoned his subordinates, prepared rooms and clean clothes for them, and let them take a bath and clean themselves.

Under Zhou Bin's arrangement, Liu Xiu and the others, along with the dozens of women, took a bath and changed their clothes.

The clothes are old, but fortunately they are clean, not damaged, and comfortable to wear.

After taking a bath, people can really see Liu Xiu's original appearance.

He looks like he is about twenty years old, tall and slender, with a graceful demeanor, colorful eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips and teeth, and a heroic appearance.

Liu Xiu is a person who lives up to his name, born handsome and handsome.

Seeing Liu Xiu's appearance clearly, many of the women who were kidnapped by the barbarians looked straight, and it was difficult to connect the handsome young man in front of him with the handsome young man in front of him who was covered in blood, carried a long sword, and killed people without blinking.

Zhou Bin, the county magistrate, was also stunned for a moment before reacting, and couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle Wen is beautiful!" ”

Hearing this compliment, Liu Xiu couldn't help but cough dryly. Zhou Bin came back to his senses, waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wen, please take a seat." ”

After taking his seat, Zhou Bin looked at the women standing in the courtyard and asked, "How does Uncle Wen plan to arrange them?" ”

Liu Xiu was stunned, he was just a soldier of the righteous army, how to arrange them, isn't it something that you, the county commander, should consider? He said: "Lord Zhou, they were all kidnapped by the brutes, and now that they have been rescued, they should be sent home. ”

Zhou Bin nodded again and again, and responded: "Yes, yes, yes, it's time to send them home." After a pause, he shook his head and sighed, and said: "Uncle Wen, it's not a secret, at present, there are only eleven officials in the county government, counting the head catchers, if I send out all the officials to escort them home, then the county government will not have to work." ”

Zhang Ping, who was sitting on the side, frowned in unison.

Liu Xiu asked, "So what does Lord Zhou mean?" ”

"According to this official, let's still do this, Uncle Lao Wen, you escort them home." Without waiting for Liu Xiu to answer, Zhou Bin immediately said: "Of course, all the travel expenses are paid by our county government of Tin County!" ”

Liu Xiu took a deep breath and reminded: "Lord Zhou, we are a righteous army, not a government officer and an officer. ”

They came to Yizhou to fight the barbarians, not to escort the abducted people home.

To put it bluntly, they sent the abducted women home safely, without any credit, if they didn't fight with the barbarians, it would be a sin, this pot, Liu Xiu can't afford to carry it.

Zhou Bin smiled bitterly and said, "I know that the government should be responsible for escorting them home, but now the official is really unavailable." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Bin was also full of helplessness, spread his hands, and said: "If Uncle Wen can't help, the official has no choice but to give each of them a sum of money and let them go home on their own." ”

Yizhou is in chaos, there are wars everywhere, let these weak women go home on their own, I'm afraid that in the end, few people will be able to get home safely.

Liu Xiu turned his head to look at Zhang Ping, Li Tong, Li Yi and others, and everyone was also looking at him, obviously waiting for him to make a decision.

He smiled bitterly to himself, turned his gaze, and looked at the women in the courtyard, and the women were also staring into the lobby with wide eyes, one by one, all with anticipation.

Seeing Liu Xiu's embarrassed face, Zhou Bin rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, Uncle Wen, you take them to the county town and hand them over to the county government to deal with, the county government must have much more manpower than our county government, come to think of it, the county government will definitely be able to properly settle them!" ”

Liu Xiu thought about it, this is not a bad way, it just so happens that they are also going to the county town to meet the eldest brother. He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, Lord Zhou, we can send them to the county seat!" ”

Zhou Bin was overjoyed when he heard this, stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, Uncle Wen is willing to help, but he helped the official solve a big trouble!" ”

For Zhou Bin, these women are a burden, staying in Tin County, eating and drinking every day, purely wasting the county government's small amount of money and food, but if you want to send them away, there is really no one under his hands.

But now it's okay, he kicked the ball to the county government, and it has nothing to do with him.

In terms of the world at that time, a magistrate like Zhou Bin was already very good.

If it is replaced by other officials, you are willing to keep these women, then it is good to stay, anyway, as soon as you leave on the front foot, I will send these women away casually on the back foot, where will I care about their life or death?

Zhou Bin at least knew that since he didn't have the ability to guarantee their safety and couldn't afford to support them, it would be better to push them to the more capable county government, which could be regarded as fighting for the greatest interests for them.

Liu Xiu said: "Lord Zhou, let's rest for one night in Tin County today, and wait until tomorrow morning before leaving." ”

"Okay, good, no problem!" Zhou Bin agreed simply, waved his hand and called an official of the county government, and asked him to take Liu Xiu and others to the post station to stay.

Don't go past Zhou Bin, leave the county office, Liu Xiu and others go to the post station.

On the way, Li Yi complained: "Uncle Wen, you really shouldn't have promised Lord Zhou that escorting them home is the responsibility of the local government, what does it have to do with us?" ”

Li Tong answered: "It's just to escort them to the county seat, and for us, it's just a gesture!" ”

Li Yi said dissatisfiedly: "First of all, they will slow down our trip, and secondly, if they have an accident on the road, the responsibility is on us." ”

Escorting them to the county town, isn't there nothing to do?

Li Tong glanced at him and asked, "Otherwise, what else can I do?" There are not enough people here in the county government, so do you really want to let them go home by themselves? They are all weak women, and even if they don't meet barbarians on the road, they will die for life. ”

Li Yi muttered: "Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us!" ”

Liu Xiu didn't answer, and when they arrived at the post station, they temporarily settled down under the arrangement of the post officer.

Zhang Ping came to Liu Xiu's room and saw that Long Yuan was also there, he didn't shy away from it, and asked straight to the point: "Ah Xiu, when are we leaving?" ”

Their main task this time was not to escort the women to the county government, but to use this excuse to find the belongings buried by the barbarians.

Liu Xiu thought about it and said categorically: "Without further ado, we'll leave now." ”

Zhang Ping had no opinion and nodded to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu called Li Tong, Li Yi and other seven people, and told everyone that the three of them were going to visit an elder outside the city, and they might not come back at night.

Li Tong, Li Yi and the others looked at each other, and Li Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Wen, I'll go with you!" ”
