Shangfeng City, which was once the center of Shangfeng County, has become a huge military camp, continuous camps are densely scattered in the open space around the city, and on the official road outside the south gate, a train of carriages carrying a large number of materials to the city.

After crossing Baofeng Mountain, Sima Yu did not stop in Dong'an City, and after several days of continuous marching, he led a mighty army to Shangfeng City.

Due to the cholera of the Nanyi army, most of the entire Shangfeng County was devastated, and the villages and towns along the route were even more uninhabited.

The Eastern, Southern, and Central armies, plus the Right Guard, totaled more than 170,000 people, and the total number of troops exceeded 200,000, including the labor and auxiliary soldiers accompanying the army.

Such a large army has a great pressure on logistics, and Shangfeng County is nearly 300 kilometers long from north to south.

Therefore, Sima Yu led the army to stop at Shangfeng City, preparing to build Shangfeng City into a huge logistics support point.

"Subordinate Cui Zhouping, meet your lord!"

In the main tent of the army camp outside Shangfeng City, Sima Yu was prostrating in front of the first table, carefully checking the map of Changzhou, and a young man in a literary uniform and a lofty posture stepped into the camp and bowed.

"Oh? Zhou Ping is finally here, has Dong'an City been properly settled? ”

Hearing this, Sima Yu raised his head and looked at the person who came, and said with a look of surprise.

In order to restore the people's livelihood in the county as soon as possible and stabilize the public security environment in the county, Sima Yute transferred Cui Zhouping, the county guard of Wanglong County, to Changzhou, and with his extraordinary political ability, he believed that the people's livelihood in Shangfeng County would soon be restored and a stable environment would be created for the army to advance northward.

Today, more than half of the population of Shangfeng County is concentrated in Dong'an City, and there are no less than 100,000 displaced people who have not been resettled.

So as soon as he entered Changzhou, Sima Yu ordered him to stay in Dong'an City, deal with the affairs of Dong'an City first, and allowed him to recruit 3,000 county soldiers to maintain law and order.

"Back to the king, the preliminary settlement has been completed, and the 3,000 county soldiers have basically been recruited!"

Cui Zhouping hurriedly bowed down and reported.

Only those who have experienced the upheaval and precariousness can better appreciate the value of a stable life, and the recruitment of county soldiers has just been issued less than two days, and the quota of 3,000 people has been fully placed, and they will become the most loyal guardians of Dong'an City.

"Good! The team of the county government needs to be formed as soon as possible, and the royal government and the business alliance will fully cooperate."

"Thank you!"

Shangfeng County was seriously damaged by the Nanyi people, and the population was sharply reduced by one-third, with Sima Yu's words, many of Cui Zhouping's ideas could be implemented, and this sentence was the most powerful support.

"Pass the order down, and go out tomorrow!"

After talking, after Cui Zhouping left, Sima Yu immediately ordered the herald.

"Whoa!"

With Cui Zhouping and Li Dingguo in charge, a Shangfeng County can't be chaotic.

"Driving~"

Stomp, stomp!

Outside the city of Yiju, a group of people quickly rushed towards the city gate.

"Stop! Who are you? ”

Seeing this, the soldiers defending the city hurriedly raised their spears and cautiously met the enemy.

There are about 30 people in this group, all of them are dressed in strong clothes, with high heads and horses under their crotch, their eyes are like electricity, their temples are high, and they advance and retreat in an orderly manner between marches.

"Get out of the way! I have something to look for you Cui Junshou! (After the county guard of Shidao County fled, Cui Daoheng has taken over his post as the county guard)"

The swarthy man stopped and raised his hand at the soldiers defending the city below, his eyes a little contemptuous.

The consciousness of these soldiers is so poor that if they really want to take the city, they can easily take it.

"This ,,,"

These men were on war horses and had long knives at their waists, and they were supposed not to be allowed into the city until they had asked where they came from. But the strong man's momentum was so strong that the leader of the soldiers defending the city did not dare to ask questions for a while.

"Get out of the way!"

Just when the soldiers defending the city were in distress, there was a loud shout behind them, and it turned out to be Gu An, the captain of the south gate of Yizhou City.

"General Zhou is here, how can I refuse to leave Yizhou City, General Zhou, please!"

Seeing this, the soldiers defending the city hurriedly got out of the way, and Gu An bowed to the strong man.

It was Zhou Cang who came, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and looked at Gu An fixedly.

Zhou Cang didn't come this time for business, but for the sake of proposing. Before leaving, in addition to informing Liu Wenxiu, the soldiers under his command did not know.

And this Gu An seems to be waiting for him here, and the meaning of this is worth pondering.

"General Zhou, rest assured, the lower official is under the command of Lieutenant Su Ze, and there is absolutely no disadvantage to the general!"

Gu An smiled lightly and said with a smile.

"Haha, even if this Yizhou City is a tiger's den in Longtan, someone Zhou also dares to break through!"

Gu An's words could not alleviate the suspicion in Zhou Cang's heart in the slightest, but he also smiled and walked towards the city.

Although Zhou Cang seems to be rude, he is by no means a fool. At present, Sima Yu, the king of the south, personally led 200,000 troops into Shangfeng County, and Beiguan City was under their possession, as long as the people in power in Yizhou City were not stupid, it was impossible to disadvantage them, and the anger of hundreds of thousands of southern kings was not something that the ruined Yizhou City could bear.

At this time, in the Cui Mansion in the city of Yizhou, after some greetings and staggering, the atmosphere in the hall gradually improved.

"Ladies and gentlemen, right now, the Nanyi army has just retreated, although the two people of Gongsun Kuang and Gongsun Jie of the five northern counties are famous, they are actually puppets of the two major forces of Wenchen and military generals, Shangfeng and Shidao counties are isolated in the south, it is time for the people of our two counties to find a new master!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Cui Daoheng finally led to tonight's main topic.

As soon as Cui Daoheng's voice fell, the hall fell into a temporary stagnation, although the Cui family occupies an absolute advantage in Yizhou City, it does not mean that others are willing to obey everything.

"Lord Gunshou is right, I, the 30,000 volunteers of Yiju City, am willing to follow closely behind my lord"

After a short silence, Liu Yun, the commander of the 30,000 volunteers, stood up for the first time and firmly expressed his intentions.

If you don't be firm, you can't do it!

Although he is the commander of 30,000 volunteers, the Cui family also has a large number of Cui disciples and cronies in the various departments under his command, and the supply of food, grass and equipment for the 30,000 army also depends on the Cui family.

"I don't know what the county keeper means?"

Liu Yun's words did not make the slightest wave as expected by everyone, and after a pause, Shi Fengru spoke.

The Imperial Governor was appointed by the imperial court to monitor the officials of a county, and had the power to recommend impeachment, and his position at the local level has always been strong.

But with the disappearance of Gongsun Shu, the court of Chengjia State is in vain, and the control over Shangfeng, Shidao and other counties is equivalent to zero.

Strength is everything!

In this case, although Feng Ru's nominal position is high, he has to look at the Cui family's face to act, and he can't help but feel a little cautious when he speaks.

The eyes of everyone in the hall turned to Cui Daoheng, and the Cui family's decision was related to their interests.

"Great Qin!"

Under everyone's gaze, Cui Daoheng slowly spit out two words.
