Zhou Nan had already received a letter from Agu Zhe in Xianghe City, and learned that Xiao Gan had been killed, and the eight catties in the second room were waiting for Yelu Agu Zhe to rush to Zunhua City and become the king of Xi in a good name.

  According to the original plan, Aguzhe had already brought his soldiers and horses and rushed to Zunhua City, and the vacated Anci City was taken over by the defenders of Gu'an City.

  With Xiao Gan's withdrawal from Jizhou, the 70,000 Xi soldiers basically retreated to the vicinity of Zunhua City. There are also 10,000 Xi soldiers belonging to the Yaoli Department and the Chuli Department, who are still guarding Jizhou City, but these Xi soldiers already know about returning to the Wansheng Army, and the Xi soldiers who have not wanted to fight for a long time are just waiting for the Wansheng Army to take over Jizhou as soon as possible, so that they can eat all-you-can-eat.

  In the past half a month, although there has been no real battle between the two armies, with two magic vehicles, as well as those explosive arrows and rockets, they have still recovered the states and counties that Xiao Gan originally captured.

  From west to east, Anci, Yongqing, Guoyin, Xianghe, Sanhe, Jizhou, these prefectures and counties were completely recovered by the Wansheng army led by Zhou Nan. Although there were basically no casualties on both sides due to Zhou Nan's method of fire attack, the grain and grass hoarded by the defenders in the city were burned, and these defenders only hoped to leave the place where they couldn't eat as soon as possible, so everywhere the Wansheng army went, the city gate was opened.

  Although it is easy to recover these prefectures and counties, it is still an arduous task to rectify public order in various prefectures and counties and to enable the people in the cities to live in peace as soon as possible. Zhou Nan had already sent a letter to Yu Zhongwen, the left-behind guard of the Yanjing City Left-behind Division, the letter briefly explained the process of recapturing Jizhou and other prefectures and counties, and specifically explained that Yu Zhongwen should send some capable and reliable officials. Then there is the need to transport a batch of grain to these prefectures and counties in order to help the people in the city, and of course, the army that remains to garrison also needs food supplies.

  Originally, it was to let Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi rectify the newly recovered state city, but after defeating the Song army in the past, the states and counties south of Yanjing were also led by Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi to clear the cavalry and arrange garrisons everywhere, and the two of them were also handy in doing these things.

  But Gao Yuan was abandoned by Zhou Nan in Sanhe County for so many days, and missed a lot of interesting things, this time I heard that Jizhou, Anci and other places have been recovered, and only Zunhua City in Jingzhou remains, so he said that he would follow Zhou Nan in everything.

  Zhou Nan couldn't, so he had to let Yang Keshi take the Black Iron Army to clean up the security of the cities and rebuild the city defense. and told Yang Keshi that Yanjing City would soon send people to the cities to take charge of affairs, and they would also bring food, and after the officials sent took over, Yang Keshi could withdraw.

  Of course, the Wansheng Army and the Black Iron Army can't just be the permanent garrison of a state or county. When Zhou Nan sent a letter to Yu Zhongwen, he also sent a letter to Xiao Laoliu, asking Xiao Laoliu to transfer a group of infantry troops and generals from Yanjing, Zhuozhou and other places to defend the city, and follow the state and county officials sent by Yu Zhongwen to escort grain and grass over. Yang Keshi recruited a group of recruits in various states and counties, conducted drills in advance, and waited for the arrival of the guards sent by Yanjing, and mixed these recruits and veterans together as the guards of each state and county.

  As for the horse troops stationed in these newly recovered prefectures and counties, they had to wait until the Xi soldiers had completely quelled the rebellion, and then recruit some soldiers suitable for cavalry from Xi soldiers and other places for special training. There is no need to worry about war horses at all, according to Agu Zhe and others, there are five or six thousand good horses in the horse buying prison in Zunhua City. Xiao Gan did not use these horses because of the lack of food in various places, coupled with the weakness of horses in winter, so he was ready to wait until spring to train a group of cavalry troops to use the war horses in Zunhua City.

  Five or six thousand war horses are enough for Zhou Nan to form a cavalry army of 5,000 people. These cavalry troops, Zhou Nan planned to distribute them to all the prefectures and counties according to the configuration of 500 people in the state city and 300 people in the county seat, as a mobile force stationed in the prefectures and counties. The original cavalry was organized into three armies, stationed in three places, and was led by Xiao Laoliu, Yang Keshi and Gao Yuan.

  However, after explaining the rest to Yang Keshi, Zhou Nan and Gao Yuan went straight to Zunhua City with Wansheng Army. Calculating the time, Yelu Aguzhe must have rushed to Zunhua City now, and he doesn't have to chase too much, and he doesn't want to take care of the internal affairs of his own clan, so he still has to solve it by himself.

  As for the future, just like what he promised Yelu Aguzhe, he will treat them as well as the Khitans and Han people, treat them equally, give them space to survive and be free, as long as they can live a life without worrying about food and clothing, and being too peaceful, who will jump out and make trouble?

  In fact, in Zhou Nan's view, these nomads are the easiest to manage. Unlike the Han people in Kaifeng City of the Great Song Dynasty, for their own selfish desires, all kinds of cunning, insidious, and vicious tricks were used. These nomads usually live their own lives, at first just in the snowstorm, livestock starved to death, disease to death, the herdsmen can not survive, they are not like the Han people, they can grow crops, there is grain storage, in the event of famine can still resist for a while, the herdsmen can only run to the Han land to grab food.

  It is very simple to manage it well, first subdue and fear these nomads who advocate force, and then give them a way to live with the other hand, such as exchanging your wealth for my food, so that you can live. Or let these herders live a half-farming and half-pastoral life. In this way, they can only live honestly within the rules they have set for them.

  It wasn't until there were more than thirty miles away from Zunhua City that Zhou Nan made people stop. If you go further, you will find the soldiers and horses of the Chuli Division. "Wait, the fourth brother will send someone when the time comes." Zhou Nan said to Gao Yuan.

  Gao Yuan thought that he would follow Zhou Nan to Zunhua City, and he would be able to lead the army into the city, kill the eight catties of Room B, and clean up the scourge of following Xiao Gan to raise troops. Although there are also 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Zunhua City, Gao Yuan followed Zhou Nan, and the arrows, rockets, and balloon chariots were all enough to break through this Zunhua City, and he didn't take the 10,000 defenders in the city to heart at all.

  Who knew that Zhou Nan stopped when he came here, and he didn't mean to do anything at all, and complained, "This eight catties in room B is unpopular, why don't you go into the city and take down the eight catties in room B, so you can send these taunts home as soon as possible?" ”

  Zhou Nan found a place with the north wind, took a piece of felt and spread it out, lay down and said, "After all, the Xi people are a family, you have killed eight catties in the second room, they won't say anything, it's hard to guarantee that there will be no complaints in the future, so make enemies, why do you do it?" Let Agu Zhe do this and give him a favor, speaking of which, it is also a resentment between the Xi people, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

  Gao Yuan sat down helplessly and sighed, "With your explosive arrows and magic cars, it's no fun to lead troops to fight." Knowing this, I might as well stay in Yanjing City to watch people celebrate the New Year! ”

  Zhou Nan said with a smile, "Pingzhou in the east is a litter of wild boars, which is very powerful, but I'm afraid you're going to have a headache." "I like Song Chungui, please collect x Song Chungui.
