Lucheng County, is a county under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, located in the northwest, originally belonged to Shenzhou, Zhenguan 17 years after the abolition of Shenzhou, assigned to Jizhou. The location is not good, barely in the corner of the Zhanghe Plain, not rich, and the population is not too much. However, this ordinary small county in Hebei Province is a little weird at the moment.

Along the official road between Ding and Ji, several knights escorted a carriage from west to east without hurrying or slow. It is said that it is an official road, but it is not too wide, and the road surface is very rough and groomed, and the dirt road and gravel torment the wheels and horses' hooves.

"Lord, it's already within the boundaries of Jizhou, and there are still thirty miles to go, and we will reach Lucheng!" One of the young knights looked inside through the dangling curtains.

"Hmm. Wu Jue, don't be in a hurry, walk slowly......" Yuan Langjun's leisurely voice came from the car.

"Yes!"

The young man was ordered to jump off the ground and ride his horse to the front. The boy's name is Wu Jue, the son of Wu Le, and his name was changed by Yuan Langjun. A few years ago, after fleeing from the Turks into the Great Zhou, he was raised in Luoyang by Yuan Langjun.

Probably inherited Uller's genes, his talent is very good, his physical fitness is very strong, and in a few years, his martial arts have been successful. When Yuan Langjun was at his age, he was probably not as good as him in terms of martial arts.

In the carriage, Yuan Hui leaned cross-legged on the carriage, the little lady of Yaqing supported her chin with her hand, her clear eyes swept the scenery staggered with the carriage, and she squinted at Yuan Langjun from time to time, looking a little bored.

Yun Gu wants to take the child to watch the house, and the sister-in-law naturally accompanies Yuan Hui on a trip.

"Huilang, what are we doing when we come out this time?" Patting his somewhat numb legs, Xiaoqing asked again.

Coming back to his senses, Yuan Langjun picked up the little beauty's slender hand and played: "Don't worry, you will know when the time comes......"

Seeing that Yuan Langjun gave this perfunctory answer again, Xiao Qing suddenly showed displeasure, pulled out his little hand, pursed his lips, expressed his dissatisfaction, and hummed away from his head. After a while, he didn't see Yuan Langjun open his mouth to comfort, and his eyes turned to Yuan Hui again.

I saw Yuan Langjun half-squinting and looking like X, glancing at him coquettishly, not wanting to pay attention to him. However, his temperament was lively after all, and he couldn't endure it for long, his delicate buttocks moved closer to Yuan Langjun, and he shook Yuan Langjun's arm gently with both hands: "What mission do you have, tell me about it......"

Feeling the pair of mature soft flesh that is still not enough rubbing on the arm, tilting his head to admire the delicate and lovely appearance of Xiaoqing, even if he is a woman, that pure temperament has not changed. Yuan Langjun smiled, if it wasn't for the inappropriate timing, he really wanted to try the excitement in the car with his sister-in-law......

There are riots in his mind, but the movements in his hands are not slow, and he suddenly takes the beauty into his arms and squeezes the soft parts twice lewdly.

"My Qing lady is smart!" Reaching out and rubbing two handfuls on Xiaoqing's chest, Yuan Langjun praised her lustfully.

Tan moaned twice in his mouth, and the beauty broke free from Yuan Langjun with a red face, and scolded shyly: "Dengzi!" ”

flirted with Xiaoqing, Yuan Hui's mood was much better, raised his hand and gently helped the beauty tidy up the clothes that had been messed up by himself, and said softly: "This time you are the first time to come to the north, you can see the scenery of the north......"

Yuan Langjun came north this time, naturally he was ordered by the king, and the destination was Jizhou.

As mentioned earlier, a cavalry division sent by Sun Wanrong in Khitan broke through Wu Youyi's defense and invaded the hinterland of Hebei. Previously, when the main forces of the two sides were fighting in western Liaoning, this Khitan division made great achievements, invaded Mo and Yingzhou, and also broke the city of Xindu in Jizhou Prefecture, and killed Lu Baoji.

There was a fire in the backyard, and Wu Youyi didn't dare to slack off, so he dispatched troops to wipe out the Khitan cavalry. It's a pity that the generals of the Khitan unified army, He Axiao and Luo Wuquan, were very cunning, and they almost didn't spare their hands, and carried out wandering operations in Hebei, Yingzhou, Cang, Mo and other prefectures. In several encounters, although the Great Zhou army made some gains and suppressed it, it was never eradicated.

Until the defeat of Dongxia Shigu, this Khitan Kou army rose again, and once again ravaged Ji and Yingerzhou, broke Leshou, and attacked Raoyang...... The momentum was very loud, and the surrounding states and counties, local troops could not cope with the Khitan cavalry coming and going, so they could only petition the imperial court.

After consideration, the emperor decided to send Yuan Hui, who was still on his "honeymoon", to the north to deal with the matter. With such a decision, Di Fatpang's recommendation to go north is one thing, and Yuan Langjun's operation in the back is also one thing. It happens to be Jizhou, whether it is for public or private, Yuan Langjun is willing to go.

Of course, the emperor sent a secret edict and let Yuan Hui quietly go north, and on the bright side, the imperial court did not seem to care too much about the Khitan cavalry army active in Ji and Ying, and still treated each other as a rogue.

The empress was quite smart, and from the defeat of Dongxia Shigu, she immediately realized that the situation on Jizhou's side was problematic. Jizhou is located in the heart of Hebei Province, and it is not strange that a Khitan partial division can break through the blockade and enter a no-man's land.

In the previous encirclement and suppression, the imperial court military horses were not allowed to make meritorious contributions several times, but were exhausted. Even if the enemy cavalry is highly mobile, it will not stop there. Moreover, He and Luo are not world-famous generals, why do they repeatedly "anticipate the enemy and take the lead".

Obviously, the situation in Jizhou is not simple. Before leaving, the empress summoned Yuan Langjun into the palace at night, and mentioned a little bit or two. The smart Yuan Langjun naturally would not disappoint the empress, and his heart would make Wu Cao very satisfied.

At present, Yuan Langjun's official position is the governor of Jizhou and the deputy chief of the Hebei Provincial March. And Yuan Hui went to Lucheng County this time, in addition to this county being his first stop in Hebei, he was also guided by the Gu sisters.

For the two sisters, although Yuan Langjun has doubts in his heart, he also has plans to use them temporarily. In Jizhou, even if there is any calculation, he is not vain, this time, Yuan Langjun is very confident.

However, the sincerity of the Blood Spirit Sisters seems to be very sufficient, and when they left Luo, they were able to get rid of the snake spirit eyeliner's follower, and they still played a supporting role.

Go to the east of the river, go out of Taihang, and enter Hebei. Yuan Langjun's party came from the east of Gucheng in the south of Dingzhou, and the two places were not far apart. When it was about to arrive in Lucheng, the time was still early, and Yuan Hui planned to make a secret visit to the countryside on a whim.

As far as he has seen along the way, due to the turmoil, although there has been no large-scale migration of refugees among the people, there are already rumors of rumors, and everyone is in danger. A little farther away, Yi, Ding, Jizhou, a little too nervous, looking around, very bleak and lonely.

Passing by a village, it is surprisingly quiet, it seems to be uninhabited, there are still spring seedlings planted in the surrounding fields, and the houses are still quite neat, but the picture is surprising.

"This village is so strange!" Stepping on a short bench to get out of the car and walking on the soft ground at the entrance of the village, Xiaoqing looked at Yuan Langjun and wondered. Apparently, Little Beauty also found a problem.

After a pause, Yuan Langjun supported Wu Jue and two subordinates: "Go to the village and ask someone!" ”

Probably because of the protagonist's luck, Yuan Langjun also met several villagers who showed public affection. The name of the village is Xinji, and some old and weak people were found from it, and they were asked to talk to their elders.

The old man was obviously just an ordinary country man, and he was very afraid of Yuan Langjun and his party, especially staring at the steel knife pressed on the waist of Wu Jue and others, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Yuan Hui didn't deliberately do anything pro-people, but his attitude was quite kind, and he pointed to the village and asked, "Can the elder tell me what the situation is in this place and where have the villagers gone?" ”

"Childe is a foreigner, right......?" the old man looked at Yuan Hui and wondered.

"Did I ask you, did you ask me? Well? The corners of Yuan Hui's mouth showed a hint of playfulness.

With a shrunk neck, the old man hurriedly lowered his head, and even said: "The villain talks a lot, the villain talks a lot!" ”

"Say!"

"The villagers have taken refuge in the mountains and forests!"

"Huh!" Yuan Hui pretended not to know and said: "In this peaceful and prosperous world, the people are at peace, how can there be a reason to leave home and go to the fields, and eat hungry in the mountains and forests?" ”

"Haven't you heard of the news of the Khitan thieves making trouble?" The old man was surprised.

Yuan Hui nodded casually: "I've heard of it." The thieves, although rampant, have their own imperial army to deal with. And as far as I know, its range of activities is far away from Lucheng County, so why should you panic? ”

"Gongzi didn't know, it was the government that came to order, saying that the Khitan people were coming, and in order to avoid their scourge, they organized various villages to take refuge!" The old man replied immediately.

"Official?"

After talking more, Lao Yu explained a lot more smoothly: "The county government sent a notice to move the Ding Zhuang in the village into the county seat, and let the villages store grain in the granary in the city, and at the same time make the women and children in the village hide in the mountains and forests. It is said that it is a strong wall and a clear field, and it is like this in the nearby townships, and a few old people are just temporarily staying in the village......"

Hearing his words, the corners of Yuan Hui's mouth curled, but the mobilization order of the Lucheng government was interestingly tight.

Looking down at the old man: "The government will collect all your grain in the city, and the villagers will be willing?" ”

"The county has written an IOU, but it is only a temporary loan, and when the Khitan retreats, the villagers will return the debt!"

Yuan Langjun raised his eyebrows: "You actually believe in the promise of the government? ”

"Since the county magistrate took office, he has faith with the people, and he has never broken his promise, so he naturally believes it!" The old man's eyes showed a hint of admiration: "Moreover, instead of being robbed by the Khitans, why not borrow it from the ......government for the time being."

Seeing this old man talking endlessly, Yuan Langjun squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It seems that this deer city has made Li Huaibi very popular with the people!" ”

"Lord Prefectural Order, naturally a good official ......"
