The fire in the city was lit up overnight until the early hours of the next morning, when it was gradually extinguished.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, Ganling's soldiers and horses attacked the city overnight, sent light cavalry to chase and kill Hu Chi'er, who abandoned the city and fled, and other cavalry began to suppress the rout and riot in the city.

Ushisuke Mansion

Standing on the general seat where Niu Fu sat in the past, Ganling's mood was much calmer than at the beginning, compared to the surprise and excitement when he heard about the chaos in the city and his own attack on the city overnight, Ganling, who was now in his hands, was a little more cautious about major events.

Outside the hall, three high-spirited military officials came together.

"Sima, Hu Chi'er has been caught up by our army's light cavalry, and he still intends to resist stubbornly, and he has been shot by the light cavalry, and the head is here."

One of the military officials who was the first to enter the hall had already spoken first, holding the head on the tray, and it was difficult to hide his excitement in his words.

When Gan Ling heard the news that Hu Chi'er had been conferred the head, his heart was also moved, and he immediately took a step, went down to the hall, came to the side of the military official, stretched out his hand to separate the long hair that was blocking the front of the head, and fixed his eyes to see that this grinning head was not Hu Chi'er himself.

Seeing that the enemy who was in trouble with him everywhere in the past had died, Gan Ling felt a little more happy in his heart, and he didn't have the bad taste to humiliate the head of a dead person to vent his anger, but waved his hand and ordered.

"The traitor Hu Chi'er pretended to pass on the military order, killed the main general, the crime is unforgivable, and now the head has been awarded, and the head of the whole army can be passed on to set an example!"

"No!"

The military official who presented Hu Chi'er's head immediately received the order, and turned around and walked quickly out of the hall.

"Sima, the turmoil in various parts of the city has been calmed down, and the city gates have been replaced with our soldiers for garrison, as for those who surrendered, how to deal with them, Sima still needs to make it clear."

After dealing with the matter of Hu Chi'er's head, another military official also began to report to Ganling on the situation of the peaceful rebellion in the city.

After Gan Ling listened, he groaned slightly, and his heart was broken.

He said:

"The soldiers in the city, originally just misbelieved Hu Chi'er's treacherous words, so they dared to be enemies with us, but now the traitors have been eliminated, and the rest are innocent. What's more, it is an eventful time now, and we and other cool people need to work together, how can we kill each other again. ”

"You can lead your troops to guard the important places of the arsenal and granary in the city, and as for the matter of the prisoners, they can serve us, and I should personally go to appease them!"

After receiving Ganling's order, the military official immediately took the order and left.

When it came to the third officer, he reported the situation of the other soldiers and horses.

"Sima, Dong Cheng's department outside the city, after learning the news of our entry into the city, did not lead the troops to converge, but led the troops to leave the camp overnight, went around the city, and retreated to the east, do we want to send troops to pursue?"

When Gan Ling heard the news of Dong Cheng's departure, he thought about it, smiled, and then waved his hand.

"That's it, Dong Cheng hesitated to use troops before, and was defeated by me taking advantage of the victory, this time I must be worried that I will take advantage of the situation to annex his troops and horses, so he left around the city in a hurry, since he went to the east, that is, he was going to defect to the soldiers and horses of Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji."

After finishing speaking, Gan Ling turned around and walked to the top of the general's position, on the side of the general's position, there was a map of the use of soldiers was hanging on the wooden frame, Gan Ling approached the map, after his eyes locked on Shaanxi County, he began to spread to the neighboring counties.

Now he Ganling took the opportunity to take Shaanxi County and controlled the remaining more than 10,000 Xiliang soldiers, as if he already had strong capital in his hands, but Ganling himself knew very well that he had obtained Niu Fu's soldiers and horses, and he was about to fall into the dilemma before Niu Fu.

The Luoyang in the east is dilapidated and has no way to survive, plus there are still the soldiers and horses of the three captains who are rushing back, and the friends and enemies are unknown, this road is not feasible. And the mountains in the south are not good. Dayang in the north is guarded by Hedong county soldiers, and it is not easy to cross the river, and Huayin in the west has more soldiers and horses and defeated soldiers from the state, and it is difficult to avoid them quietly.

As for collecting boats, boarding boats against the current, and going to the northeast border of the river to defect to Yan Xing, Ganling directly denied this plan, not to mention that there are many turbulent and dangerous shoals along the waterway, and the boat capsizes, as usual, just because the Liangzhou soldiers are not good at boating, and when they enter the river, they are like landlubbers to be slaughtered, and Ganling does not dare to take this risk.

Looking at the cities in all directions on the map, Ganling fell into a state of melancholy for a while.

···

Hedong, Pishi City.

"Captain, Yan Dian Nongshi has gone to Pingyang to preside over the affairs of Tuntian in the north. This is his policy of governance. ”

Xi Zhicai presented the strict policy of presiding over the internal affairs of Tuntian in the north on time as usual, and Yan Xing unfolded it and looked at it, and the lines of vigorous and powerful handwriting came into view.

The first thing Yan Shi did in his administration was to collect the bones, register the dead and lost people, and measure the land.

After years of war and turmoil in the northeastern border of Hebei, the major cities have been recovered one after another. The collection of bones, the registration of the population, and the measurement of land were all first-hand data that should be grasped from the beginning of the administration, and at the same time, it was also to prevent the epidemic from breaking out again after the Great War and spreading throughout the northeastern part of the river.

The second thing is to describe the details of Tuntian.

The Xiliang army under Yan Xing's command initially used the name of resettlement of displaced people to implement the tuntian in Jiangyi and Linfen, which was to simply and rudely seize fertile land, forcibly borrow cattle and seeds from large households, and then drive Bai Bo to capture and some displaced people to cultivate, so as to collect the grain obtained at the end of the year and use it as military rations.

This method is simple and effective in a short period of time, but it is too rough and has been criticized by many victims of Hedong surnamed Haoqiang. And in the long run, this is not a long-term solution that can continue to operate and scale.

In accordance with the principle of "opening the river canal, opening up the field, making the altar house, persuading the crops, cultivating arboriculture, and cultivating and weaving", the Tuntian system in Jiangyi and Linfen gradually got on the right track, and in a few years, he explored a complete set of methods for the Tuntian and cultivated a group of officials who could be responsible for the Tuntian.

However, compared with the Tuntian in Linfen and Jiangyi, the situation in the Tuntian in several cities in the northeast of Henan is different. The tuntian in Linfen and Jiangyi was more for the purpose of recruiting displaced people and relocating the displaced people, and now that the northern border has been recovered, many of the original Bai Bo soldiers have suddenly increased under his rule, and the situation with the Hedong county government is tense, so in the arrangement of the tuntian, Yan Shi has made corresponding detailed adjustments.

To be precise, it is to distinguish between Mintun and Juntun.

In the previous Tuntian, 50 people were stationed as a tun, and the tun chief was set up to be responsible, and the tun chiefs in Linfen and Jiangyi were all under the command of Yan Shi.

At present, in addition to the previous Mintun, the additional military tun is a tun with 100 Bai Bo soldiers who have been divided and dismantled, and is led by the commander appointed by the army, and according to the principle of farming during farming, practicing war in idle time, and serving as soldiers in wartime, and then according to the geographical distribution, it is assigned to the generals stationed in each city.

The proportional share of the year-end harvest between the government and the people is distributed according to the rules of dividing between the government and the people for those who borrow official cattle, the official six for the people, and those who use private cattle. In addition, the military tun gives priority to lending cattle, farm tools, and seeds, but in wartime, if the father dies and the son succeeds, the brother dies and the brother dies, and he cannot leave the country.

After Yan Xing carefully read Yan Shi's planning and arrangement for the northern border, he couldn't help but smile, but he didn't expect that the series of battles for the northeastern border of Hedong Taishou Wangyi would give birth to the implementation of the military tun system in advance.

Mintun and Juntun, Yan Shi and Yan Xing had already mentioned it in their first meeting in Hedong, but although Yan Xing admired Yan Shi's far-reaching vision, he did not give an answer for a long time, but pressed the course of this matter.

This is because Yan Xing took into account the nature of the Xiliang soldiers and the militia under his command, and was more like a professional soldier belonging to his personal commander, if he implemented the military cantonment system according to the plan of the strict division, gave his soldiers land and seeds, and let them cultivate during the agricultural season and serve as soldiers in wartime, if the time is not ripe, let this group of Xiliang soldiers who lick the blood accept the military cantonment, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar.

And now, Hedong Taishou Wangyi pushed the boat down the river, sent a trial guard official to serve as the northern border, and transported grain to help the victims, competing for the hearts of the people in the north.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing smiled and said to Xi Zhicai:

"The Hedong County Government has always accused me, a lieutenant, of interfering in civil affairs, but now that I have such a countermeasure as Juntun, I am afraid that Wang Taishou will be furious in the palace, and I want to see how those trial officials appointed by him can compete for the soldiers under me."

"Yan Dian's agricultural history has the talent of Marquis Xiao He, the ability to govern the people, which is rare in the world, and this move is really admired in the future!"

Xi Zhicai was overjoyed to see Yan Xing, and he did not hesitate to praise him. Yan Xing then continued to read.

The third thing that Yan Shi said was to open mines and smelt iron, revive all industries, and set up a city to get through the strategy.

Originally, agriculture was the foundation of all industries, but after years of wars and deserted farmland, Yan Xing's Xiliang army was frequently short of military rations, so in addition to focusing on agricultural affairs, he did not dare to allocate manpower and material resources to take care of other things.

And now after the recovery of the northern border, there are also many more hundred craftsmen under his rule, and these hundred craftsmen who each rely on a superb skill to make a living, if they are simply placed into Tuntian households, not only overkill, waste their good skills, but also not conducive to the comprehensive revival of the northeastern border of the river, which is in ruins.

There are iron mines in Pingyang, mining and smelting iron, and exercising armor sticks, which is also an important military guarantee for the Xiliang army. In addition, materials such as glue paint, feathers, and wood for making vehicles and arrows also require specialized craftsmen to divide the work.

After the Chang'an Incident, the situation of the confrontation between the north and south of Hedong was like this, the channels for obtaining military armor from Niufu and Hedong County Government in Shaanxi County had been cut off, and the Xiliang soldiers competed with the heroes of the armored soldiers.

The two were eagerly discussing the internal affairs of the northeastern border of Hedong, and Zhou Liang hurriedly walked in from outside the hall.

"Yuan Shan, why are you in such a hurry?"

As soon as Yan Xing saw that it was Zhou Liang trotting in, he knew that something big had happened again, and he hurriedly asked.

"It's an urgent message from a messenger sent by Gansima."

Zhou Liang hurriedly handed the urgent report to Yan Xing, and then added:

"According to the messenger, Niu Zhonglang will kill Dong Zhonglang, and was killed by his subordinate Hu Chi'er, Gan Sima took the opportunity to control Shaanxi County, gathered Liangzhou soldiers and horses, and originally prepared to attack the territory of Hedong to the north, but later heard that Li Su had been killed by Lu Bu, and turned westward, intending to go west into Huayin, and then turn to Zuo Fengyi, and finally turn to the northeast of the river, and meet the captain's soldiers and horses!"

Yan Xing listened to Zhou Liang's words in his ears, and read Ganling's emergency report with ten lines of eyes, on which Ganling briefly explained the internal situation of the turmoil in Shaanxi County, as well as the dilemma of his soldiers and horses, and finally explained the strategy of westward expansion.

After Zhou Liang waited for Yan Xing to read the emergency report, he also began to ask:

"Captain, do you want to contact Gan Sima quickly?"

Yan Xing's face turned worried when he heard this, and he groaned for a while.

"Now that he has led his troops and horses to the west, I am afraid that if he wants to find out the whereabouts of his soldiers and horses, he will need to send a few more teams of messengers."

Xi Zhi saw Yan Xing's worries, and he spoke out to explain.

"Hongnong's Li Su has been killed by Lu Bu, only one Duan Xuan remains, judging by this person's previous actions, he has more than enough self-preservation and lack of progress, as long as Gan Sima's soldiers and horses do not attack Huayin, it is expected that Duan Xuan will never rashly intercept the Liangzhou soldiers and horses who were originally comrades."

Zhou Liang also nodded.

"What the history of the drama is extremely true, Duan Xuan supported the army to protect himself, and surrendered to the Chang'an court on the surface, but he refused to leave the station easily, which shows that he still has doubts about the Chang'an court in his heart, and in the current situation, it is impossible to send troops to intercept the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou who returned to the west and fight with Gan Sima, which can be described as harmful and unprofitable for Duan Xuan."

After listening to the words of the two, Yan Xing bowed his head slightly and said:

"Shusheng is a person who knows the soldiers, since he chose to lead the troops westward, he must have a certain degree of certainty to dare to take this risk."

If you don't go, when Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers arrive, Ganling and them will inevitably have a fierce fight, with fewer victories and more defeats.

Attacking the southeast border of Hedong to the north, and Yan Xing to the north and south to attack the Taishou Wangyi of Hedong, although the odds of victory are not small, but the southeast border of Hedong is bound to become broken, lacking the banner of righteousness, losing the heart of the people of Hedong, and losing troops will take a broken Hedong County, which is obviously not what Yan Xing wants to see.

Therefore, Ganling chose to lead the troops westward, which can be regarded as a compromise road.

Yan Xing looked at Zhou Liang and began to say:

"Send a few more teams of envoys, be sure to tell Shu Sheng, let him be careful, use his troops steadily, and I will send troops to join him in Zuo Fengyi."

Zhou Liang nodded, and immediately turned around and went down to arrange for the envoy to be sent.

After Zhou Liang left, Xi Zhicai also got up and came to Yan Xing's side, Yan Xing glanced at him and had already spoken in advance.

"Zhicai don't want to persuade me, crossing the river and entering Zuo Fengyi this time is a matter of the overall situation, it can be said that it will affect the whole body, and I need to personally lead the troops there!"
