Yan Xingqin's light cavalry was very fast, and in less than half a day, it had galloped to the outside of the barracks in Jiangyi.

Yan Xing in the camp learned that it was Yan Xing who led the troops to meet him, but Yan Xing did not choose to enter the camp, but asked Yan Xing to order fifty armor soldiers and follow him into the city.

For Yan Xing's decision, Yan Xing's first reaction was still like Xi Zhicai, and he admonished, although Jia Kui in the city did not choose to tear his face with them, but now they seem to have controlled Jiangyi City, and they go straight into the city at the moment.

However, Yan Xing still maintained his previous attitude and insisted on entering the city in person.

In desperation, Yan Xing could only personally select the fifty most elite warriors in the battalion, who were strong and stubborn, and he was even wearing heavy armor, guarding the front and rear of Yan Xing's cavalry, preparing to protect Yan Xing tightly.

Seeing Yan Xing and the others as if they were facing a great enemy, Yan Xing couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Ji Qi, you have charged into battle with me many times, and you are not willing to be behind, you have never been afraid of this battle formation of thousands of troops and horses, how can this small Jiangyi city make you cautious like this."

Yan Xing could only smile bitterly and said:

"The city of Jiangyi has suddenly undergone great changes, and it is difficult to escape the blame for the stationing outside the city, the captain is the weight of the whole army, this time I entered the city in person, how dare I act carelessly, for the small people in the defense of the city, it is better to be more stable!"

Yan Xing listened to Yan Xing's solemn words, bowed his head slightly, and said no more, after all, even a famous general like Sun Jian died under the cold arrow of the enemy, although he was sure that Jia Kui in the city at this time would never do a stupid thing to kill himself, but there was no big mistake in being careful, in the arrangement of this matter, he was as good as a stream, and obeyed Yan Xing's arrangement.

In this way, they entered the city from the west gate of Jiangyi, although Yan Xing had no intention of making a big show, but among them, there were many horsemen, with bright clothes and armor, all of them were elite and warlike tigers, and as soon as they entered the city, they still caused a lot of movement.

Not only did a group of soldiers who were originally stationed in the west gate hurry back to the county temple, but also the market, which had been slightly restored to its former situation, became deserted again, and every household closed its door, and the pedestrians on the street were also in a hurry, and before they heard the sound of the army's horses' hooves, they had already hurriedly hid in the alleys, and even in front of the houses of the big names in the city, there were many doors, and it became extremely quiet.

"It seems that when I entered the city this time, the commotion was still a little bigger, but it frightened the people in the city who didn't know why."

Yan Xing looked at the quiet and depressed street on the horse, and there was some embarrassment in his heart, Yan Xing followed in front, and when he heard Yan Xing's words, he also turned his head and said:

"The city has just suffered a change, and this time there are soldiers entering the city, the head of the Qiantou is naturally inevitably frightened, the captain loves the people, and Xing also knows, but the safety of the captain is at stake, and the whole army is at stake, so I have to be cautious, and the things that disturb the people can wait for the aftermath and then slowly dissipate."

Yan Xing nodded, and when he saw a figure in the corner alley flashing away, he didn't care, but turned his head to Da Niu and ordered.

"Take twenty horsemen to protect the safety of the ladies in the city."

Da Niu is the commander of Yan Xing's personal guards, and he also escorted Yan Xing and Yan Wan to wander around the city before, so he naturally knew that Yan Wan's residence was placed in the city.

This matter, at the beginning of the accident in the city, Yan Xing also thought about it, but at that time, Jia Kui had already found out that Yan Xing still had female dependents staying in the city, and sent people to guard the residential group in advance, Yan Xing did not get Yan Xing's military order, and he did not dare to rashly start the incident, and the other party did not enter the house to do something derailing, so under the trap, Yan Xing did not send troops to forcibly snatch Yan Wan.

But now, Yan Xing personally entered the city, the first thing was to re-ensure Yan Wan's safety, Rao is that he did not reprimand Yan Xing, but Yan Xing, who was following him, still felt a burst of confusion on his face, thinking in his heart, when he arrived in the county temple, he must make up for his mistakes, protect Yan Xing's safety, and then avenge the culprit's arrow.

Thinking of this, the neighing of horses sounded in front of him, and Yan Xing raised his eyes to see that the county temple was in front of him.

Jiangyi County Temple

At this time, the county temple learned that the Xiliang army had entered the city, and after the initial chaos, it also fell into silence.

In the hall of the county temple, the new head of the Shoujiangyi Jia Kui is sitting on the main seat, and the people standing in the hall are his newly appointed Gongcao, the main book and several family soldiers he brought, Zheng Duo, who lost the county temple and Jiangyi, is also sitting in the hall at the moment, but his face is cloudy, his heart is happy and afraid, and he has mixed tastes.

"Have all the officials in the temple ever returned to their homes?"

"The county gentleman, they have all returned to their homes."

"Has the Ding Zhuang who was borrowed from the big surname in the city been repatriated?"

"They were all sent back."

Jia Kui heard the constant sound of horses' hooves outside the county temple, his face was calm, and he asked and answered with the master book standing beside him, and asked in detail about the things he arranged in an orderly manner.

"County Jun, it's just that these people are too snobbish, as soon as they heard that the Xiliang Army entered the city, they all changed, where did they put the appointment of the county government."

"Everyone in the world has the heart to seek profit and avoid disaster, it has been the same since ancient times, and the situation is like this, and I can't complain about them."

The main book saw the few people in the hall at the moment, and then heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching the Xiliang army outside the county temple, and couldn't help but sneer at those county officials and city officials who saw the wind and steered the rudder.

Jia Kui's parents died when he was a child, and he was once at home, and he was used to seeing people's warmth and coldness, but he was free and saw this kind of thing thoroughly. just remembered the panicked look of those large and small county officials and soldiers with big surnames in the county temple just now when they heard the Xiliang army riding into the city, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh that these Xiliang soldiers were so angry and powerful that they were so frightened that even the orders of the Hedong County Government were regarded as nothing.

knew that it would be useless to keep these people any longer, so Jia Kui simply dismissed all these people, leaving only a few of his henchmen and family soldiers, Zheng Duo, who was already unable to move an inch.

Originally, the master of his own family also proposed that it would be better to take the female dependents of the captain of the school to the county temple, so that these menacing Xiliang soldiers would not dare to be too presumptuous under the mouse-throwing weapon.

But Jia Kui immediately refused, he had no reason, and he didn't disdain to use this kind of small trick to resist those unscrupulous Xiliang soldiers, in his opinion, he was the chief of the guard appointed by the Hedong County Government, both in terms of legitimacy and righteousness, it was much stronger than those Xiliang soldiers who used the might of the army to get involved in the affairs of the county temple.

Therefore, after Jia Kui clarified the reality of Jiangyi, Yu Gong, he could not sit idly by and watch the system of the Han family and the orders of the county government being trampled on by this group of Xiliang army, and handed over the herdsmen's rights granted by the Son of Heaven to others; Yu Private, he is a young and vigorous young man, taking over Jiangyi, just to show his ambitions, how can he let himself become a puppet and be at the mercy of the officials in the county temple.

Therefore, Jia Kui finally decided to regain control of the county temple and the city of Jiangyi, even though he knew that such a move might attract the retaliation of the unreasonable soldiers of the Xiliang army, he still resolutely put his decision into action.

Of course, Jia Kui dared to do this, in addition to many factors such as integrity and ambition, but also because in the process of secretly visiting Jiangyi, he discovered that this Dangkou lieutenant, who has recently become famous in Hedong, seems to be more than just as described in the official document of the county government.

A school captain who recruits displaced people and vigorously implements Tuntian can never be described by a few words on the official document of the county government, "arrogant and arrogant, encroaching on people's land", but I am afraid that what this person is planning in his chest is not only those few acres of small people's land.

Thinking about these things, the sound of horses' hooves outside the county temple also turned into the sound of footsteps close at hand, Jia Kui raised his eyes, and saw a group of Xiliang Army sergeants wearing armor and holding soldiers, who had already entered the county temple and were approaching the hall step by step.

At this time, Zheng Duo, who was sitting in the hall, when he caught a glimpse of the center of the armor soldiers outside the hall, it turned out to be Yan Xing himself, he couldn't sit still any longer, and his impatience was overflowing, he got up in a hurry, and ran quickly outside the hall regardless of everything.

"Bang-"

Jia Kui's family soldiers saw Zheng Duo suddenly walking out of the hall, and in a hurry, they also pulled out their blades at once, and without waiting for Jia Kui's order, they were about to pull out their legs and chase after them outside the hall.

"Don't chase it, come back!"

Jia Kui naturally saw Zheng Duo's panicked look, he waved his hand to summon his family soldiers back, and at the same time, in his heart, according to Zheng Duo's reaction, he also had a certain number in his heart for the characters from outside the hall.

Outside the hall, Zheng Duo, who rushed out of the hall in a panic, didn't get close to the crowd, and the spear of the Xiliang Army sergeant in front of him had already stretched out, forming a forest of spears, blocking him from getting closer again.

Seeing Yan Xing's grim face after seeing the armor, Zheng Duo was not shocked in his heart, he didn't have time to think about it, he immediately puffed, knelt on the ground, and pleaded with Yan Xing in a choked voice.

"Captain, many lost and trapped in Jiangyi, missed the captain's major events, and many capital crimes."

Yan Xing saw Zheng Duo, who was panicked and screaming for guilt, and the anger and violence that he had initially concealed in his heart had subsided a lot. Zheng Duo was originally only a writer, and he had no great talent, so let him control the county temple and supervise the affairs of Jiangyi Anmin and Tuntian, which obviously exceeded the limit of his ability, and then suddenly ran into a Jia Liangdao who was hiding from the world, so he was naturally embarrassed and mistook a big deal.

"Get up first, your business, let's talk about it later."

Yan Xing did not suddenly get angry, but let Zheng Duo step aside, Zheng Duo trembled, and he didn't know what the next blessing and misfortune would be, his heart was uneasy, and his movements were a little slower, and Yan Xing, who was guarding Yan Xing's side, was already impatient.

If it weren't for the loss of Jiangyi, he would be involved in the city and would be held responsible.

Yan Xing immediately waved his hand and ordered, letting the two armor soldiers pull the trembling Zheng Duo aside and wait for Yan Xing's disposal.

After Zheng Duo's episode, Yan Xing and the others also strode into the hall, and Yan Xing, who was anxious to make a conviction, held a ring knife, and when he entered the hall and made sure that there was no other ambush, he looked at Jia Kui's family soldiers who were like a great enemy, sneered a few times, and then turned his eyes to Jia Kui, who was the main seat in the hall.

After seeing Jia Kui's calm expression, Yan Xing snorted coldly, raised the knife in his hand, took a step closer, unceremoniously, and shouted:

"Where is the seal of the chief of Jiangyi?"

Jia Kui faced Yan Xing's question, and also refuted sternly.

"Order the long seal ribbon, the imperial court order, this is not something that the monarch can ask."

"You!"

Yan Xing was extremely angry, and he was about to step forward and drag this pretending to be calm Shou Jiangyi to the bottom of the hall, Jia Kui's soldiers were originally like a great enemy, and when they saw Yan Xing, they were about to make a move, and they immediately raised their swords to each other, and the swords of both sides were drawn with crossbows, and there was a great momentum of imminent attack.

"Ji Qi, don't be rude, step down!"

Seeing that Jia Kui in the lobby was still calm in the face of the menacing Yan Xing, Yan Xing couldn't help but admire the other party's courage in his heart.

Indeed, how could a head of the Shoujiang Yi who dared to seize Jiangyi be easily intimidated by Yan Xing's words and deeds.

Originally, Yan Xing thought that this Shoujiangyi chief, who dared to take Jiangyi under the nose of the Xiliang Army, would be a wise and old middle-aged county official, but he didn't expect that the person sitting in front of him was a young man with a serious face and a short beard.

Yan Xing didn't know that when he was surprised by Jia Kui's young age, Jia Kui was also surprised by Yan Xing's appearance. In Jia Kui's imagination, the captain who looks down on the white wave thief and suppresses the local heroes should be a rough and heroic military man with a leopard head and eyes, not angry and arrogant, but the hard-looking burly young man in front of him is obviously very different from the rumored captain, and there is no aggressive edge.

"Jia Kui, the chief of Shoujiangyi, has seen the captain!"

Although he was surprised by the abnormality of the person who came, Jia Kui had already made up his mind before the Xiliang army came, and he seemed not to be in a hurry at the moment, so he immediately got up and saluted Yan Xing.

Yan Xing saw that the other party's vision was outstanding, and he immediately saw his identity, and he also smiled faintly, and said:

"I'm glad to hear that the commander of the Xian Commander got off the car and went to Jiangyi, and the new beginning looked at things, and the captain of the school garrisoned Jiangyi, and specially came to pay respects, but I was disturbed!"

"I heard that the captain garrisoned Linfen to resist the thieves, and now he has made a special trip back, which is really hard, but it is too much. However, the captain led the army into the city, and the city was frightened, and this movement was too much. ”

Although Jia Kui was in danger, he was not forced by Yan Xing's military might, but instead accused Yan Xing and others of leading troops into the city for no reason and trespassing on the county temple.

Faced with Jia Kui's accusation, Yan Xing disagreed, looked at Jia Kui with his eyes, and said:

"The captain of this school was shocked to hear that there were small people in the city who were in rebellion, and his duty was to beg thieves and pacify the people, so he did not dare to slack off, so he naturally wanted to lead the troops into the city to eliminate the evil spirits."

"It's a good one to purge treachery, the captain entered the county temple this time, maybe it was in the name of worship, specially for the seal ribbon."

Jia Kui was asking whether Yan Xing wanted to ignore the law of the country, exercise military authority without permission, seize the power of the county temple, and use public weapons for private use.

Although Yan Xing admired Jia Kui's courage in his heart, it did not mean that he would be forced to retreat by his questioning, and he also sneered at the moment,-for-tat.

"Isn't it, but what?"

"Bang-"

Jia Kui immediately drew his sword in his hand, and he was righteous and strict.

"If it is to visit the temple, please also ask the captain to retire the armor, and set up a banquet to welcome him. That is the joy of seeing each other today, and the fight is dead! ”

Jia Kui's appearance was originally square and serious, but at the moment he was stern, even more solemn and solemn, although the number of county officials and soldiers under his command was small, but he was infected by his courage, and they were all in danger, making a posture of swearing to fight to the death.

Yan Xing watched them draw their swords for a while, and after confirming that the other party did have the courage to fight to the death, instead of pretending to be fierce and inward, he also smiled with relief on his face, and said with a smile:

"Why is this, Jia Jun is bold, Jiangyi has a virtuous commander, it is the luck of the people, Yan is begging for thieves, how can he interfere in the affairs of the county temple, what he did before is a temporary trade-off, and it is definitely not Yan's original intention."

Speaking of this, Yan Xing also waved his hand and ordered, letting Yan Xing retreat outside the hall with the armor soldiers, making it clear that he had no intention of tyrannically seizing power when he entered the county temple this time.

Jia Kui saw that those menacing Xiliang soldiers withdrew from the hall one after another, and he was also relieved in his heart, knowing that his words just now were successful in deterring these arrogant and domineering Xiliang soldiers, but he did not dare to relax in the slightest in his words and deeds, and immediately sent out the family soldiers, and asked the chief bookkeeper to send someone to hold a banquet, and invited Yan Xing to have a banquet in the hall of the county temple and communicate frankly.

Originally, the two sides of the sword and crossbow were sitting in the same place when they saw it, and Rao was finally only Yan Xing and Jia Kui, and the atmosphere in the hall was still quite grotesque.

Jia Kui diligently persuaded Yan Xing to drink, but Yan Xing stopped tasting it and did not move the wine again, but looked at Jia Kui, Jia Kui knew that he had a deep meaning, and also put down the wine in his hand, and said with a light smile:

"The captain was silent, thinking that it was a thin wine in the county temple, and he couldn't get into the captain's mouth."

"Thinking of the rampant white waves, the people's livelihood is zero, and the head of Qiantou has the pain of hanging upside down, and the captain of this school has returned in vain, this wine can't be drunk."

When Jia Kui heard Yan Xing's words, he also restrained his smile.

"The captain has a heart of love for the people, and since he arrived in Hedong, he has repelled the invasion of white waves many times, and the land of several counties depends on it for preservation, which is the luck of the people of Hedong, so why should he be vain."

Yan Xing snorted coldly, looked at Jia Kui, and his tone became a little heavier.

"County Jun, since I know that Jiangyi was saved by me after several battles, but I acted like this, so that the soldiers in front of me returned in vain, I don't know if I can feel at ease when I drink this fine wine?"

Jia Kui was questioned by Yan Xing, and his face became serious.

"The Han family has its own system, the school captain blames Kui for what he does, so that the soldiers in front of him return in vain, and Kui also dares to ask the school captain, in the name of begging for thieves, the truth of power, regardless of the criticism of the people, recruiting displaced people, vigorously practicing Tuntian, raising strong men, envy and power, supporting the benefits of an army, Weijia several counties, and meddling in the politics of the county temple, so that he can serve the king."

Speaking of this, Jia Kui did not avoid Yan Xing's eyes, but looked directly at Yan Xing, as if he wanted to see his inner ambition clearly.

"Today, the prestige of the monarch is known to the people, and the minions of the monarch are all over the county temple, but they don't know what the monarch wants to do in the end, and where will the monarch's ambition end?"

In Jia Kui's solemn gaze, Yan Xing retreated for the first time and looked away slightly.

This is the first time that Yan Xing has been questioned about his intentions and ambitions after arriving in Hedong, even in the past when the Wei family and Pei family were in the Wei family, although Wei Gu, Pei Qian, Pei Hui and others also knocked on the purpose of Yan Xing's actions, but after all, they did not directly pierce this last layer of tissue paper, but now, Jia Kui blamed each other with great righteousness, fearless, and openly questioned him, but Yan Xing, who was caught off guard, was unable to refute for a while.

The atmosphere in the hall was quite tense for a while, and after half a sound, Yan Xing slowly spoke, he went off the rails, and did not answer Jia Kui's question directly, but said:

"Since Yan entered Hedong, I feel the suffering of the people in Hedong, and I have thought hard about the good strategy of leveling the thief, and I am fortunate to meet a sage to guide me through the maze, Jia Jun wants to hear it?"

"Captain, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Jia Kui saw that Yan Xing did not answer his question head-on at this time, and he also restrained the sharpness in his vision, and no longer asked aggressively, but continued to follow Yan Xing's words.

"The sage told me that Dong Tzu of the former Han Dynasty said, 'If you are poor and miserable and do not go to help, the people will not be happy; The people are not happy to live, they do not avoid death, and they can avoid sin! 'The reason why Baibo is so difficult to control now, in the final analysis, is that the people of Qianshou cannot live and work in peace and contentment, and it is easy to level the thieves of Baibo, but it is difficult to quell the thieves of famine. Although Yan is not talented, he also knows that agriculture is the foundation of all industries, so he recruits displaced people and respectfully conducts tuntian, which is to make the people in Hedong free from hunger and cold. ”

"Doubts are nameless, doubts are fruitless. Doing extraordinary things is not the world. What Yan does is for the sake of the community and the people, and she has a clear conscience. ”

"In this way, Kui can be regarded as knowing the ambition of the captain."

After listening to Yan Xing's words, Jia Kui's face was thoughtful, and his words seemed calmer, although the reason given by Yan Xing was not a legitimate explanation for him to overstep his authority and interfere in the administration of the county temple, but Jia Kui personally visited the inner and outer parts of Jiangyi City, and also knew that Yan Xing's arrival had indeed brought new hope to this northern county.

This is also the reason why after Jia Kui seized Jiangyi, he was finally willing to choose to sit down with Yan Xing to talk.

You must know that at the beginning of his appointment, there were many people in Anyi City who secretly tore Jia Kui and this gang of rampant Xiliang Army apart.

Jia Kui looked at the young lieutenant and made his own assurance.

"Xiao is the law, if you paint one. Cao Shen replaces it, keep it and don't lose it. Carry it pure, and the people will be peaceful. Although Kui does not have the talent of Cao Xiang, he is also willing to emulate the virtues of the sages, Xiao Gui Cao Sui, and the government of Jiangyi without defeat. ”

Jia Kui said that after he took over as the head of Jiangyi, he would follow Yan Xing and others' original decree in Jiangyi to settle the people and recruit displaced people, Yan Xing was overjoyed, Jia Kui took over Jiangyi, and under the condition that both sides did not tear their faces, Yan Xing naturally could not forcibly seize the power of the county temple's decree, and now Jia Kui made a guarantee that he would not let the people of Jiangyi leave the government, which is the best result.

"Then I have to thank Jia Jun first."

"Kui, I also want to thank the captain for the people of Jiangyi."

The important matter has been negotiated, the two sides have completed a compromise, and the atmosphere in the hall has become harmonious. The two then talked about the art of war and things in Hedong, but they also talked happily with each other, and they felt like they were old at first sight.

In the end, when Yan Xing said goodbye and left, Jia Kui personally sent it outside the county temple.

"Yan military affairs are in his body, so he won't bother the county monarch anymore."

"Captain Ann go."

Yan Xing smiled, he thought about it, pointed to Zheng Duo, who was standing restless in the crowd, and said:

"Zheng Tingpeng, although his qualifications are mediocre, but he is good at doing things diligently, if the county monarch does not dislike Yan Yue Yue to act on his behalf, Yan will make his own opinion, let him make meritorious service and stay in the county temple."

Jia Kui knew that with his promise of only a few words, he would never be able to make Yan Xing completely at ease, and Zheng Duocai was average, otherwise he would not have been easily seized by Jia Kui The control of the county temple was not easily seized by Jia Kui, Yan Xing kept him, and more importantly, it was to ensure that no one in Jiangyi would leave the government, Jia Kui groaned a little, and then readily agreed.

"So, take your leave."

Yan Xing saluted, smiled heartily, and did not hesitate, immediately got on the horse, and turned around with the originally menacing Xiliang army and prepared to go out of the city.

Jia Kui watched this group of Xiliang soldiers gradually move away, and remembered Yan Xing's frank words in the lobby, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"This person is ambitious, and he has armored soldiers, but he doesn't know whether the future will be a blessing or a curse for the people of Hedong."

Over there, Yan Xing and the others rode away, Yan Xing followed with the horse, and when he saw Yan Xing and Jia Kui shaking hands and making peace, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and asked:

"Captain, is this the end of the matter?"

"Jia Kui is not an ordinary mediocre talent, and he can't be treated in the usual way, so let's wait and see what happens."

"And then, what are we going to do?"

Yan Xing slowed down his horse and pointed in the direction of the city.

"Go pick up Wan'er."
