When the thousands of horsemen saw Xue Shao stepping forward, they hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, "Young marshal, don't step forward, those black ...... Native soldiers and villagers will shoot arrows and throw stones! ”

"Really? …… I don't think so! Xue Shao was still riding a horse and stepped forward slowly.

The native soldiers and villagers on the city pass were almost a little dumbfounded when they saw such a formation. Now there is a military general wearing gold armor, wearing five-color robes, and riding a red flame horse under the city pass, and they can't help but start muttering-

"There are so many cavalry, all of them are good horses, good armor and big red dragon flags, probably not white bandits!"

"With such a formation, I'm afraid it's really an official army!"

"The person below and below is extraordinary, it seems to be bigger than the shelf of the county order, could it be that he is really a big official from Chang'an?"

"He's coming, he's coming!"

"How is it good, how is it good?"

There was a quarrel on the city pass, and the 800 cavalry did not move like a mountain like a forest, and the powerful formation really frightened the native soldiers and villagers on the city pass. Coupled with Xue Shao's unangry and powerful aura and fearless confidence, he suppressed all the people in the city.

"I'm Chang'an Xue Shao!" Xue Shao walked to the top of the city pass and shouted, "Open the city pass!" ”

"Poof! ——" A certain native soldier on the city gate was frightened on the spot, and hurriedly shouted: "Fake, fake!" ”

The local soldiers and villagers saw that he was the little leader of the local soldiers who shouted to Guo Yuanzhen at the beginning, "If you are a thousand horsemen, I am Xue Chengyu".

"What's so great about Xue Shao, why should I pretend to be him?" Xue Shao stood indifferently under the city gate, and one sentence made everyone on the city pass shut up, and they were silent.

Xue Shao said again: "The one you captured before was my deputy general Guo Yuanzhen. He worships the five products and is the general of Yulin Qianqi. Hurry up and let him go, and don't make trouble. Now that the switch is on, I will act as if I have never given birth to anything, and I will not be blamed for the past. Otherwise, do you think this little mound can hold back my army? ”

The native soldiers and villagers on the city pass were cold together, and their little belly and legs were cramping. Eight hundred elite cavalry may not be worth mentioning for a major battle like the Northern Expedition, but when it comes to Yanchang County, which is a poor and remote country, it is already an unstoppable existence of "heavenly soldiers and generals".

The native soldiers and the villagers panicked and began to discuss gossip-

"It's definitely unstoppable, what should I do?"

"Could it really be Xue Chengyu, a concubine from Chang'an? …… It's miserable, I'm going to die! ”

"Didn't you hear him say that it's not the fault of the switch now?"

"So, is that open?"

"What about County Lieutenant Guo? Why haven't you come yet, hurry up and invite again! ”

……

"Open the gates!" Xue Shao was a little impatient and shouted angrily.

This roar completely shattered the psychological defense line of the native soldiers and villagers, and the people in the city gate all retracted their heads and shouted loudly together, "Hurry, hurry up and invite Lieutenant Guo and ask him to be the master!" ”

Xue Shao frowned, it seems that the county lieutenant Guo is quite prestigious in his hometown, and these people listen to him. Well, I'll wait for the official to come. and these unintelligible local soldiers and villagers, it is indeed not very clear.

Just a moment later, there was a small commotion in the city pass, and someone was shouting, "County Lieutenant Guo is here!" ”

"Quick, hurry up and open the city pass! Welcome to the king! Obviously, it was the voice of the county lieutenant Guo, and when Xue Shao heard it, he seemed to be a little familiar.

A group of people rushed to the vicinity of the city pass and opened the gate, Xue Shao stood alone at the pass, and saw a group of people in tattered clothes and yellow muscles inside, surrounded by a heroic young man in military uniform.

Xue Shao's eyes lit up unexpectedly, and he raised his hand to sneer at the stumbling of the ruin.

The local soldiers and villagers were taken aback, County Lieutenant Guo was like a god in our Yanchang County, but he was shouted as a "boy" by the big official in front of him so arrogantly!

The young man in military uniform trembled when he heard Xue Shao's voice, and hurriedly ran a few steps and fell to his knees in front of Xue Shao's horse, kowtowing in tears.

"Subordinate Guo An, meet the brigade commander! …… Oh no, meet Young Marshal Xue! ”

Xue Shaohaha laughed and jumped off the horse, grabbed Guo An and pulled him back, "Get up!" ”

"I'm not up!" Guo An cried loudly like a child, "I really didn't expect to see Xue Shaoshuai again!" I'm going to die, and I'm willing! ”

"It's useless, what are you crying about!" Xue Shao slapped him vigorously on the shoulder.

Xue Chuyu jumped off the horse very unexpectedly and came over, exclaiming: "It's really Guo An!" …… After the Northern Expedition, didn't you stay in the Right Guard Mansion to command the Three Swords Brigade, and when did you run to Yanchang County to be the county lieutenant? ”

"General Jade Crown? You're here too! Guo An saw Xue Chuyu with excitement and tears again, "It's a long story, it's a long story - quick, please enter the customs!" ”

The local soldiers and villagers behind were all dumbfounded, threw the guy in their hands and knelt down, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Folks, those who don't know are not guilty. I will do what I say, and I will not blame the past. Xue Shao said loudly, "Get up!" ”

After everyone got up, they still thanked each other, and they all looked at Xue Shao with blank eyes as if they were looking up to a god.

"Fellow villagers, this is what I often tell you, the brigade commander of the Three Swords Brigade where I used to be, and now the commander of the horse and the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Xue Chengyu Xue Shaoshuai!" Guo An said loudly and proudly, "Now, Young Marshal Xue has been ordered by the emperor to go here to fight against Bai Tieyu's rebels!" White bandits will not be rampant for a few days, and our good days are coming!! ”

The soldiers and villagers cheered loudly, and they fell to their knees again, kowtowing desperately. Now, no matter how Xue Shao called, they couldn't get up. These villagers are looking forward to the royal court to come to save them, and now that the royal master has finally arrived in Yanchang, they are all grateful, crying bitterly and uncontrollably.

Welcomed by the people of Yanchang, Xue Shao and his 800 cavalry entered the city. The county lieutenant Guo An personally led the horse to Xue Shao, and the people burned incense to cover the road and worship beside the road, as if welcoming the gods to the earth, and they were very respectful while rejoicing.

After Xue Shao entered the city, he paid a little attention, and now Yanchang is really not ordinary poverty, there is not even a decent house as far as the eye can see, the roads are muddy and there are no shops, the people are all in tattered clothes, yellow and thin, except for Guo An, I almost never see a strong body and sufficient nutrition.

There is no decent place to camp troops in the county, and Guo An is ashamed to ask Xue Shao to temporarily camp the soldiers and horses in the county government and rectify it a little. The people of Yanchang immediately came to the army, and each family gave the best food in the family - the best, that is, two old hens that laid eggs and a few eggs.

Xue Shao was a little worried when he saw this scene, it seemed that Yanchang County was unable to provide any supplies to our army.

Later, Guo An took Xue Shao and his party to visit Guo Yuanzhen. The thousand-rider general who capsized in the gutter was knocked unconscious and didn't wake up, Guo An had already asked Lang Zhongzai to treat him, but fortunately there was no major problem. Xue Shao left Wu Ming, who was proficient in medical science, and two pawns to take care of him, and then the group went to the county office.

Guo settled the banquet and entertained him, but there was a shortage of food and things in the county, let alone any delicious food, so Xue Shao took out some dried meat and steamed cakes from the army himself, and barely made up this meal.

"Guo An, why is Yanchang County so poor? How did you get here? The meal hasn't been cooked yet, Xue Shao asked.

"I'm ashamed!" Guo An looked ashamed and said: "After the end of the Northern Expedition, I returned to Chang'an with the army, originally Pei Gong wanted to transfer me to the right guard office in Nanya, but unexpectedly, Pei Gong retired due to a turmoil. Immediately afterwards, many of the generals and colleagues of the right guard were kicked out of the army or demoted from Chang'an. It's good to go to Yanchang County, thousands of miles away, to be a county lieutenant like me. Many generals, captains and brigade commanders have been sent to Lingnan for exile, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn over in this life! ”

"I know that." Xue Shao nodded with his eyebrows tightly locked, it was the army storm after the end of the Northern Expedition, and many of Pei Xingjian's followers, henchmen and iron-clad supporters were purged!

The matter is sensitive, Guo An is also very interested and does not discuss more, and instead says: "Yanchang County has always been very poor, probably the poorest and most miserable county under the rule of several neighboring states. After I took office as a county lieutenant, I mobilized the villagers to form a local army, began to vigorously rectify local law and order, and successively defeated several gangs of ruffians and mountain bandits and bullies. Gradually, they were able to be self-sufficient, at least no longer starved to death, and no one fled the famine. ”

"The county lieutenant is in charge of martial arts, and you have done your duty. I saw that the native soldiers and the villagers were very supportive of you, and it can be seen that you are very popular here. Xue Shao said, "By the way, what about your county order?" I've been in the city for a long time, so why haven't I seen him come to see me? ”

"Prefectural Order...... He ...... "Guo An hesitated, as if it was a little difficult to speak.

"Is there anything you can't say in front of me?" Xue Shao said, "This time I was ordered to go on an expedition, in addition to being in charge of the army, I also gave the three states the power to depose, and Yanzhou was under my control." If you have anything to say, it won't hit you on the head even if the couch comes down! ”

"Young Marshal Xue still has the power to depose the Qincha?" Guo An's eyes lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said, "In that case, Young Marshal Xue, you really have to take care of our county order and the assassins of Yanzhou!" They're just so unbelievable! ”

"Say!"

It turned out that after the rebellion of Bai Tieyu, the Yanzhou Assassin transferred all the soldiers, horses, weapons and food to his own hands and gathered in Yan'an County, the state city office. Not only that, but he also levied taxes on other counties under the rule of the state city for three years in advance, which was called "a fierce army and a crusade against the white bandits". Since then, the Yanzhou Assassin Mansion has turned a blind eye to other counties, neither placing troops to defend the city to guard against bandits, nor allocating a grain of relief grain to the people.

At the same time, officials from other counties abandoned their duties and fled to the state capital of Yan'an to "take refuge". The county commander and the lord of Yanchang County ran away with the whole family and the family slaves and maids, leaving only Guo An, the county lieutenant, who remained here, leading the territorial troops to prevent the invasion of the white bandits and defending the city without losing.

The gate of Yan'an, the state city, was closed and not a single displaced person entered the city, and the fleeing people had no choice but to leave their hometown and flee to Guanzhong on this snowy day in the middle of winter.

Now, in addition to Yan'an County, where the state city is located, and Yanchang County, where Guo An is located, the remaining six counties have a large number of people fleeing from the famine and the invasion of white bandits, and they are almost empty and dead!
