Xu Rong ordered him to do it, and Yangcheng was directly divided into four areas of different sizes in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the city, and assigned them to meritorious soldiers, allowing them to invade the people, cave chambers, drive cattle and horses, and take women.

Of course, nominally, it cannot be clamoring to let the soldiers sack Yangcheng, but it is defined as arresting the rebellious henchmen who participated in the rebellion, led by various military officials, and going straight to the homes of rich families in the city, grabbing goods and kidnapping women.

For a time, the rich families in the city had the sound of crying and wailing, and the Liangzhou soldiers and horses carrying goods and women went back and forth in the city, and Yangcheng fell into the blood and crime all over the city.

And what Xu Rong gave to Yan Xing was what he drew casually, this large piece of land in the east of the city, which was the largest and most among the rewards of the generals, although Xu Rong was afraid of Yan Xing, but the rewards for the soldiers were as he said, and he had never been stingy.

Yan Xing was rewarded with such a large piece of territory in the city, and his heart was also mixed, so he quickly dispatched soldiers and horses, planted his banner on the boundary of the area that had been divided, and sent Fei Lian cavalry to patrol along the border, and immediately arrested anyone who crossed the border and plundered without permission.

This is not only to prevent other generals from crossing the border in private to get oil and water, but also to worry about the ruffians in the city, pretending to be Dong soldiers, taking the opportunity to make trouble, and harassing those ordinary leaders.

Xu Rongzhi has always had a set of troops, although he even had meritorious soldiers to sack Yangcheng, but he did not indulge the soldiers at the bottom to wantonly plunder the people, so that not only the army is inefficient, but also the military discipline will quickly disperse, and it will not be easy to purge it back.

And this kind of organized army looting is both efficient and easy to reorganize military discipline, but the most vulnerable to disasters are naturally those who have big surnames and rich families in the city, ordinary residents of Qianshou, who have little surplus wealth at home, and the military officials are too lazy to go from house to house to collect goods and goods, and directly lead the troops to the Lilu where the richest people in the city live.

After taking care of the looted territory he had shared, Yan Xing sent someone to the door of the big surname and rich family in the east of the city, and marked it with chalk. In addition, in addition to the residences of the big names and wealthy families, the gates of the homes of the hundred craftsmen, doctors, and scholars who lived in the eastern part of the city were undoubtedly patronized by Yan Xing's soldiers, and the soldiers used the evil boys and scoundrels who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and were familiar with the reality of the inhabitants of the city as their guides, and soon the marks drawn with chalk in the eastern part of the city continued to increase until all the targets were drawn.

According to Yan Xing's idea, since Xu Rong divided such a large piece of looted territory to himself as a reward, he couldn't waste such an opportunity to enrich the military in vain, but Yan Xing didn't want to indulge the soldiers to plunder wantonly, so he sent the soldiers to mark the front of the doors of these target people in his heart.

Whether they are strong or experienced, especially blacksmiths and archers who can forge weapons, Yan Xing must include them in the group. There is iron in Yangcheng, and there are also iron officials, and at the moment the Kanto soldiers are rising, the iron officials of Yangcheng have gathered a group of blacksmiths to forge swords, arrows and other weapons in the city, and some craftsmen have been placed in the east of the city, such a valuable resource, Yan Xing naturally can't let go.

As for the medical craftsmen, Yan Xing has always attached importance to the logistics and health and ambulance affairs of the army, but the number of medical craftsmen in his battalion is too small, so he can only establish a temporary rescue system in the army first.

As for the big surnames, rich families and scholars in the city, Yan Xing intends to act in this way, he wants to collect goods and grain from those big surnames and rich families for military needs, as for the amount, Yan Xing does not have any documents in his hand to calculate the wealth of the households in the city in previous years, so he can only use their usual power and reputation in the city as a measure, each family ranges from a dozen gold to dozens of gold, and if there is no gold cake, it can also be mortgaged with other goods such as silk, and so on. Yan Xing directly ordered the expropriation of one or two hundred stones of corn and wheat.

On the issue of scholars, Yan Xing's attitude was cautious, what he wanted to requisition was only those poor disciples who could read and count, these small number of poor scholars, life was already miserable, and most of them were people who had no power to rely on, although the means used were still forcible expropriation, but the resistance and public opinion pressure would be much smaller.

Among the scholars of the Han family, Yan Xing was most concerned about what he naturally learned from Liu Qiao's mouth that the drunkards in Yangcheng were crazy about their talents.

Xi Zhicai's home is also in Lilu on the edge of Yangcheng East City.

Therefore, after arranging the military affairs at hand, Yan Xing asked Xu Huang, Ma Lin, Zhou Liang and others to act according to their duties. He himself took Da Niu and two personal guards, let Liu Qiao lead the way in front, and went to visit Xi Zhicai, who had been thinking about some days in his heart, with a sumptuous wine and meat.

Xi Zhicai's home

Xi Zhicai was lying on the couch at home at the moment, holding his thin cheek with his hand, staring at his wife who was sewing clothes in front of the window with dark and shining eyes, but the thoughts in his mind were a little scattered.

Xi Zhicai used to be at this time, either lying on the couch and sleeping soundly, or running to the market to mingle, today it is rare to be so sober and honestly stay at home, completely because I heard that this morning Yang City has been captured by the king of Luoyang, and now the soldiers outside are in chaos, and the city has been under martial law, and the knight who announced the announcement of the people of peace has just galloped through from Xi Zhicai and their side not long ago.

Xi Zhicai's wife had just finished sewing a piece of clothing, she carefully brought the clothes in front of her, lightly opened her teeth to bite off the thin thread, turned around, and just saw Xi Zhicai's eyes looking at her, but her thoughts no longer knew where to drift, and the whole person fell into a state of fugue outside the world.

"What is the husband doing, what are you thinking, but don't sneak out of the door again, the concubine can listen to the neighbors say that this attack on the city is the Liangzhou soldiers and horses who drink blood and like to kill, and the people who went out of the city earlier have not come back yet."

Xi Zhicai's wife thought that he was still thinking about those drinking and meat friends, and wanted to sneak out to play and drink again, so she couldn't help but be a little angry, and deliberately rendered the Liangzhou soldiers and horses that she heard about entering the city more fierce, but when she said the back, Xi Zhicai's wife couldn't help but feel that her words were a little funny.

His own husband is wise and intelligent, how can such false words make him feel frightened in his heart.

Xi Zhicai, who was interrupted from his thoughts, turned his attention to his wife again, he grinned, simply sat up from the couch, got off the bed again, walked barefoot to his wife's side, stood next to his wife, looked out the window at the courtyard, his eyes were deep, and he said:

"Wen Ruo sent someone from Yingyin to bring me a letter before, saying that it was the Kwantung soldiers, Yuzhou is the place of the four wars, sooner or later it will be a military disaster, the Liangzhou soldiers and horses in Luoyang are fierce and brutal, the people of his family have stayed here for a long time, afraid of disasters, and are planning to move to Jizhou, where the state pastor is Han Wenjie, and also the people of the same county, will definitely be able to take more care, and Hanoi also has Yuan Benchu, it is said that he treats the scholars well, and the corporal breaks the knot, Hebei is now a place for our scholars to avoid disasters, and wants to invite me to go together."

"Oh, how do you reply?"

Hearing the words of Xun Jun, who was known as "Wang Zuozhicai" in Yingyin, the drama wife couldn't help but ask. In her impression, among the people who Xi Zhicai interacted with, this Xun Wenruo was the most outstanding, not only from a famous family, handsome, but also humble and courteous, the most rare thing is that he did not look at Xi Zhicai with ordinary eyes, and treated Xi Zhicai with the courtesy of a scholar.

"I have already replied to the refusal, saying that I am lazy and do not like to travel far away, so let him take care of himself."

"Why is that?"

The drama wife couldn't help but be a little angry at Xi Zhicai's reply to refuse the kindness of her friends, although she didn't say that Xi Zhicai's profligate behavior, but in her heart she was very worried that Xi Zhicai would continue to decline. He has already passed the year of his establishment, and if he can't meet the Ming Lord to recommend him, he will really waste half his life.

Xi Zhicai pursed his lips and said:

"What kind of person is Han Wenjie, how can I not know, when he returned to his hometown in fine clothes before, I also went to the door to visit, but unfortunately he did not speak, he was already reprimanded by the gatekeeper, there is this evil slave, you can get a glimpse of its master Han Fu, who is just a false appearance, not a person who loves talents, and now he has the land of Jizhou, but there are such outstanding people as Yuan Benchu under his rule, Yuan Benchu was originally named the leader of the alliance, but he needs to rely on Han Fu's supply of money and food in the field, and his dignity and humility are not commensurate, this land of Hebei is in my opinion, sooner or later there will be a war."

"What about Yuan Benchu, didn't you say that he was a corporal and treated scholars with courtesy?"

The drama wife has only been following the drama for a long time, and she is not comparable to ordinary women, and she also knows a little about the general trend of the world and celebrities, she hopes that the drama will be able to accept Xun Wenruo's invitation and go to Hebei to try her luck together, after all, the drama has encountered too many setbacks here in Yingchuan over the years, although there are also characters like Xun Wenruo who can discern talents among the Yingchuan scholars, but more people despise and ridicule that Xi Zhicai is just a crazy drunkard who wanders the market.

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head, and continued:

"It is precisely because of Yuan Benchu's broken corporal that this scholar in the sea, whether he is famous or unknown, wants to go to him, even if he treats the scholar with courtesy, how can he be able to meet him, and I am not from a famous family like Wen Ruo, how can I please him if I rush to defect."

Speaking of this, Xi Zhicai paused and said:

"Besides, over the years, I have seen a lot of famous people in Yingchuan, many high-name people, under the fame, it is actually difficult to match. This Yuan Benchu, after all, I have to let Wen Ruo take a look for me to see if he is the master of my drama Zhicai! ”

After listening to Xi Zhicai's analysis, the drama wife also felt that her husband was reasonable, but subconsciously felt sorry for Xi Zhicai for missing this opportunity again, she looked at the old clothes in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Hearing his wife's sigh, Xi Zhicai also knew that she was lamenting her bad luck, he turned his attention back to his wife, his deep gaze instantly became gentle, he reached out and patted her weak shoulder lightly to show comfort, and at the same time searched for words in his heart, thinking about how to make his wife amused.

Although Xi Zhicai is wandering in the market, playing and drinking, fighting cocks and dogs, he looks like a decadent Tang Dynasty who is a mad drunkard. But at home, he is humble and polite to his wife, and the husband and wife are also raising their eyebrows and respecting each other.

Of course, this is because the drama wife is broad-minded, believes that her husband is talented and ambitious, and acts differently from ordinary people, and does not believe the rumors about the drama Zhicai in the market. But on the other hand, it was also because of Xi Zhi that he knew that he had been poor for so many years, and it was he who did not meet him, but it was his wife who suffered hardship, she worked hard and sewed clothes, just in exchange for corn, so that the husband and wife could barely survive, and a pair of Qianqianyu hands were also rough, and she owed her too much over the years.

Which man has never thought of making his wife clothed, eating sorghum meat, having chariots and horses, and having maids, let alone arrogant talents like Xi Zhicai.

While the husband and wife were snuggling up to each other in front of the window, enjoying the rare quiet time of this poor man's home, there was a slightly hoarse shout at the door outside the courtyard, accompanied by an unhurried knock on the door.

"Zhicai, Zhicai, can you be at home? I'm Liu Qiao, I'm back! ”
