Five days later, Yang Keshi and Gao Yuan searched and cleared the cavalry that had escaped from Juyong Pass. The 7,000 cavalry troops brought out by Gao Liu, except for some who died in the attack on Yanjing City, most of them left Yanjing City when they were chasing the Song soldiers and robbing the Song soldiers' property, that is, they were chased and scattered by the Jin soldiers at that time.

Originally, Zhou Nanshi asked Yang Keshi to lead his troops to clear out these routs scattered all over the place, but Gao Yuan couldn't be idle, and as soon as he heard about this good thing, he naturally wouldn't let it go, so the two of them took two thousand cavalry and went south.

Two thousand men and horses want to clear such a large area, even if they are exhausted, they can't finish the investigation. Fortunately, Zhou Nan let Wang Yi start to implement the state and rural warning law in Zhuozhou, which saved the two a lot of effort. Starting from Zhuozhou, I heard that the Wansheng Army was going to clear out the soldiers and bandits hiding in various places, and all the villages and villages launched together, sending young people who were familiar with the terrain to pounce on various places like a net. Wan Shengjun followed, and as soon as he found it, he immediately captured it. In less than half a day, Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi cleaned up the boundary of Zhuozhou.

It was so easy that Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi were surprised. In the city of Zhuozhou, after hearing Wang Yi say that Zhou Nanrang implemented the warning law in large villages, the two suddenly realized.

It turned out that at first, Zhou Nanrang implemented the village warning law, but it was just to let the village use fireworks to alarm once something happened. Needless to say, the villages near the state city are the farthest villages, once there is a police, there is a fire and smoke, and there are only a few more villages in the middle of the state city and this village to relay the warning, and the state city cavalry will arrive in half an hour at most. In half an hour, the power of the village is more than enough to resist the flow of bandits and robbers.

The method is simple, and it doesn't cost much material resources, just find a few elderly and patient people to watch every day. In addition, when those Juyongguan defeated soldiers harassed the villages these days, they were often captured by the Wansheng army who rushed in, which stimulated the enthusiasm of the surrounding villages to actively participate. In just over ten days, not only Zhuozhou and Yizhou, but also the southernmost counties such as Xincheng and Guiyi have also built warning measures to protect the people with the villages under their rule.

Originally, it was just a simple way to maintain law and order in various prefectures and counties, but since its implementation, the status quo of being loose and ownerless and panicked in various places has finally been reversed. Even in the six months when Ye Luchun and Xiao Puxian were in power, it was often the state cities that took care of themselves, so how could they have the manpower to protect the territory and the people? Those villages that are all over the place, and do not have strong fortresses and strong village protection forces, are naturally tormented, just looking forward to the day when the sky will be clear and peaceful, and live a peaceful life, but the world is chaotic, where can they be controlled by these small people?

Now that it's good, the Wansheng Army was born from the sky, and I don't see how to kill and fight, so I will obey the surrounding Yanjing rectification, how many times have the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty heard back and forth, Yanjing City is still given to them by the Wansheng Army, and in the end it was not the same lost? How powerful is that golden soldier? Can half of the territory of Da Liao be easily defeated? In the end, even the main general was blown up into the sky with an arrow. How heroic and brave were the two of the Four Army Kings and Da Shi Linya at the beginning? Didn't you force Wan Shengjun to leave the country? But even such an invincible Wansheng army did not bully them and the people, but only stationed in the city, and did not show them a showdown with them, nor did they force them to pay for food and miscellaneous labor. Now they also agreed with them to send troops and horses to protect the safety of the villages, and seeing how many stragglers and bandits are coming, they can't enter the villages, hurt the villagers, and rob the goods, which makes the people feel reassured, but they are uneasy. As soon as the neighboring villages discussed with each other, they returned to the village one after another, and the stewards in the village gathered everyone, gathered some rice, flour, cattle and sheep, etc., and sent them to the state capital to show their gratitude. 14

That's why Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi cleaned up all the way south so easily, and temporarily imprisoned the captured Juyong Pass soldiers and some rogue bandits in various state cities, and then screened and disposed of them in the end, as for war horses, blades and other materials, they were also stored in various state cities. This is also Zhou Nan's consistent strategy, fighting against others, although killing people is the most direct, it is the most unpopular, and it hurts the peace of the world. Zhou Nan's strategy was to take all the enemy's materials and equipment without leaving any of them, so that the enemy's soldiers would become ordinary people without minions and armor. A war between two armies is naturally different from a group fight between two groups of people. Without weapons, armor, food and grass, what else can you do to fight? At the same time, these heavy weapons of the enemy army can strengthen their own soldiers and horses, and between one increase and one decrease, although there is no tragic and heroic achievement of ten thousand bones, but it has also achieved military feats. If you don't believe it, you can ask Liu Yanqing and feel the deepest. When the first Northern Expedition failed to escape, he was almost robbed of his clothes by Gao Yuan. The second time I went to attack Yanjing, there were a lot of people, but with the low-level equipment of one person and one wooden stick, it was too cold to even go out hunting.

In Yizhou, Xincheng, and Guiyi, Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi were almost crazy. It turned out that the Song soldiers who fled here with the looted goods thought that they could escape the catastrophe, but who knew that they were warned by the village, and the Wansheng army in the city was recruited, and they were busy, picking up armor, confiscating weapons, robbing property, and finally "gifting" those Song soldiers who only had barely warm clothes out of bounds. Shi Yue, Gao Shouzhong, Jia Liu and others threw all the looted goods into the treasury, and then sent people to register and make a book. Those Juyong Pass routs who occasionally rushed over were also imprisoned by them, waiting to report to Zhou Nan together.

Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi came all the way to the south, and they simply did not clear the rout, but became full-time acceptance officers.

When the two of them discussed, the goods and jewels were not touched, but they were still in the storeroom. It is just to select and organize those defeated soldiers in the state cities, select people from among them who are innocent and not afraid of hardship, and issue weapons, armor, and war horses, and integrate them into the Wansheng army of the local state city, and draw the same number of cavalry from the Wansheng army of the local state capital and take them with them. In this way, the purpose of reorganizing the new army has been accomplished, and the old army has been accompanied by him, which can be used at any time as a mobile cavalry army.

When Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi rushed back to Yanjing, a total of more than 4,000 Juyongguan cavalry troops were searched and arrested in various places, plus more than 1,000 Juyongguan infantry troops captured by Zhou Nan in Yanjing City to help the Jin soldiers attack the city, and Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi were organized into a horse army of 3,000 people and an infantry army of 2,000 people. As for those unusable routs, they are of their own free will, and they can go home or stay in the local area, but they need to be dispersed and not gathered.

To the north of Yanjing, Zhou Nan and Yu Liyan were relieved to hand over the two dangerous passes of Juyong Pass and Gubeikou to the north of Danzhou City to Xiao Laoliu to guard. Zhou Nan reorganized the 2,000-foot army from the defeated army of Juyong Pass and handed it over to Xiao Lao Liu. Xiao Laoliu still placed the 2,000 infantry troops in Juyong Pass, and drew 3,000 cavalry troops from the Black Iron Army in Yanjing City to transfer them to Juyong Pass, and asked Zhang Yuan of the Black Iron Army to command the town to guard Juyong Pass. Gubeikou was sent to command Zhao Laosan to guard the town, and his subordinates commanded 2,000 infantry troops and 5,000 cavalry troops.

Xiao Lao Liu himself took 3,000 Black Iron Army cavalry and the original 3,000 infantry army in the city to guard Yanjing.

The rest is the 2,000 Black Iron Army cavalry in Pingzhou, as well as the 20 million victorious cavalry in the hands of Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi. Zhou Nan didn't say anything about the expedition, and the 6,000 cavalry just practiced non-stop every day.
