"Let's go, let's take a look!" Wen Ping suddenly got up, took the matching sword placed on Binglan, and strode outside.

A group of generals and county officials also came out, and for a while it was bustling and longing, and the little officials in the office hurriedly handed over their robes and helped lift the stalks.

Wen Pinggo led everyone to the government office, walked about 20 steps to the east, and then turned the corner, and the iron door of the arsenal came into view.

At this moment, the door of the arsenal was suddenly opened, an iron halberd, a bow and crossbow and stored armor were issued to the hands of the soldiers, accompanied by the rain that was as dense as weaving threads, the soldiers who hurriedly assembled in the township pavilions of Dangyang County put on armor and put weapons on each other's comrades, and their whole set of movements was tense and orderly, flowing smoothly, obviously they had become accustomed to it, practiced many times, and ...... There was silence in the process of arming himself and his robes............ Not a single word was spoken.

The tense and oppressive atmosphere seems to have condensed!

Seeing this, Wen Ping nodded with satisfaction. He knew that...... In fact, the country is guarding against Wuhuan and Xianbei soldiers in the south and in the north! Each of them is a hot-blooded soldier from his hometown who dares to fight and kill!

In a blink of an eye, Wen Ping found a group of middle-aged men in coarse linen clothes by the white high wall of the arsenal, these middle-aged strong men with bare arms, thighs, and straw sandals, saw Wen Ping all come to pay their respects.

Some of them arched their hands, some clenched their fists, and their mouths were shouting chaotic...... Some shouted, "Wait for a certain visit to Gong Wen!" "A certain township worships His Excellency Zhongye Gong! Others shouted, "I've seen the general, the general is good!" "Yes, it's not neat at all.

Ke Wenpin was not unhappy at all, but was overjoyed, cordially went to hold hands with everyone, put his left hand on it, and pressed it gently, showing affection.

Looking at what they are wearing, they are obviously not rich and noble people, they should be rural villagers, pig and dog sellers, yes, they are the sickers and wanderers in the countryside of Dangyang County, and those soldiers who are preparing to fight in armor are these inconspicuous smickers and wanderers who are levied from house to house.

"General Hou, all the soldiers of Yellow Crane Township have arrived!"

"Gong Wen, the descendants of our township are also here!"

Wen Ping was amiable, walked among them and touched his shoulders and backs, and he nodded heavily every time a township reported to him.

At the same time, he is also lamenting that this year's heavy rain is too rapid and too violent, destroying the roads, and the water level of the Han River has also skyrocketed, so that the county government has lost contact with the counties below, otherwise...... There will be more squirrels and tourists, the same ...... The number of soldiers reached will also be multiplied several times!

Since Cao Gongnan's expedition to Jingzhou and Liu Cong's surrender, he has been stationed in Jiangxia County for more than 18 years!

Stationed on the frontier for many years, Wen Ping knows the importance of going to the masses and mingling with the masses...... Not only does he have to be in a different place, but the land of Jiangxia County will not be owned by the state!

Yes, Wen Ping smiled at them and said heartily: "It's all here, it's good to arrive." Let's go up to the south gate and have a look! ”

"Good!" The crowd gladly agreed.

Bypassing the street and passing through the Fang Market, a large group of people rushed towards the south gate.

Jiangxia County, in the Later Han Dynasty, the county governance was not in Dangyang, it was in the rear, and Wen Ping moved the county governance to Dangyang in order to guard against the Eastern Wu on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Dangyang City is more like a military city, with many soldiers stationed there, but there are very few residents in the city.

Lead everyone to climb the south gate tower, the field of vision is broadened, the first thing to see is the city around the city wall, the moat that keeps flowing; The field of vision crosses the moat, and then overlooks from a high distance, the mountains, hills, hills, and plains on the east and west sides of Dangyang City are intricately distributed, undulating, and extremely reckless scenery.

Looking south into the distance, a splendid river like a waterfall winds in front of Dangyang City, and it has been flowing endlessly for thousands of years...... The Yangtze River is ......

On the other side of the Yangtze River is the land of the enemy...... Wu borders!

Wen Ping stared at the mighty Yangtze River, and lost his mind for a moment......

The Jiangxia County under his own leadership is not a complete Jiangxia County, the complete Jiangxia County spans the north and south banks of the river, and has more than ten counties under its jurisdiction, such as Yi, Qi, Hubei, Anlu, Shaxian, Qichun, Yan, Yundu, Xiapheasant, Zhongwu, etc., but now the imperial court only has a few counties on the north bank...... The counties on the south bank all fell into the possession of Wu.

Under the pouring rain, big drops of rain splashed on the surface of the river...... There were ripples. The clouds and fog in the distance were connected to the sky and the earth, blocking into a hazy world, and Wen Ping saw Wu Jun's Yamen ship like a giant beast in a trance...... Slowly drove out of the heart of the river.

Just like when the first emperor (Cao Pi) went south four years ago, they appeared in front of him......

After staring at it for a long time, Wen Ping pressed his sword and ordered Jiangxia Juncheng: "You quickly organize soldiers and people to open up and clear the road to Jingshi, be sure to maintain normal communication with the Luoyang Dynasty, and let Your Majesty and the princes of Gonggong always know the situation of Jiangxia!" ”

"I have a hunch that Sun Quan is behind the Great River (the Yellow River was called the Great River in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the Yangtze River was called the Great River...... It's coming again! "On the other side of the wide Yangtze River, although Wen Ping can't see through it, he has this intuition.

******************

Guanghan County, the north gate of Luo County

Looking at the two big characters of "Yucheng" on the city gate, Zhang Wei, who was riding on the horse, breathed a sigh of relief, all the way to the dust, and Ruoxian County finally arrived.

"Drive!" Turning the horse's head, Zhang Wei turned back to Du Qiong's carriage, gently buttoned the window and said, "Du Gong, we have finally arrived in Luo County." ”

Although Du Qiong is still in good spirits, he is old after all, and his body is not as good as before, so Zhang Wei found him a carriage, and stopped and stopped all the way, and it took a few days to feel Luoxian.

Du Qiong opened the window and looked at the surrounding scene, and sure enough, he arrived at the county seat.

"It's here, that's good...... Boqi (Zhang Wei table) As an important witness, you will first go to investigate and investigate, did the imperial court send the criminal Cao officials to inspect and supervise the case of the land annexation of Guanghan? ”

"Okay." Zhang Wei agreed and went to the city gate to find out the news.

Two quarters of an hour later, Du Qiong watched Zhang Wei turn back and found ...... There was something strange about his look...... There was an expression of utter disbelief on his face.

"Boqi, what's going on? Why is your face so ugly? When Zhang Wei walked in, Du Qiong asked suspiciously.

Zhang Wei restrained his expression, walked quickly to the car window, and said in a low voice: "Du Gong, the situation is not right, I heard the news from the past businessmen, saying that the officials who handled the case in Cheng I went to Luo County to inquire about the dramatic reduction of the Guanghan people...... Taishou Maqi actually said that it used to be true, but now most of the people have been recovered by him - there are currently 31,000 registered households and more than 124,000 people! ”

"What! How could such a thing happen?! Du Qiong was also taken aback, this ...... Can the missing editors be recovered?

"Is it really possible?"

"I don't know, but now the officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yizhou Mansion and Shangshutai are checking the data overnight to find out the facts." Zhang Wei looked away and told all the news he had found.

Du Qiong thought for a while, and then decisively said: "Things are getting more and more weird, in this way, don't worry, let's find a wine house to settle down before making plans." Saying that, Du Qiong looked at Zhang Wei: "What do you think?"

"Ridge...... Everything is under Du Gong's orders. Zhang Wei replied

In the north of the city, He Ji Restaurant

As the county of Guanghan and the capital of Dayi, the merchants and pedestrians who usually come and go are naturally like a tide, and He Ji Restaurant has always had a prosperous business and an endless stream of guests because of its proximity to the north gate.

Hu Ji went south from Shifang and entered the city from the north gate, so he naturally fell in love with this wine house at a glance.

After visiting Zhou Ju, Hu Ji returned to the wine house and had nothing to do, so he ordered four pots of wine, a few catties of mutton and a few personal soldiers to sit on the first floor and drink.

At this moment, while tasting the wine in the bowl, he squinted his eyes and looked at the proprietress who was selling wine.

It was a mature woman with a lot of grace and charm, with a glance and a smile, swinging her waist and twisting her hips, all of which were charming.

Hu Ji looked at her, of course, not because he wanted to be wrong, but because he loved beauty, and everyone had it...... It's just to spend time talking.
