On the morning of the sixth day of the fifth month, Ma Gui reported to Gao Shun: "General, a total of 87 war horses were recovered, and the rest did not know where to go, cutting 82 Xiongnu heads, 10 Xiongnu prisoners, 92 inferior weapons, a batch of salted meat, copper coins, etc., and 92 sets of inferior leather armor; In addition, I don't think this team of 100 is not yet formed.

Gao Shun asked, "What about those horses?" ”

"General, 15 good horses, 61 medium horses, and 11 wounded and inferior horses." Ma Gui replied carefully

"76 war horses were sent to Huxi for grazing; The wounded war horse is healed, and it can be used as a war horse to continue to be used as a war horse, and it cannot be used as a war horse as a horse to be distributed to the transport team or used as a cultivated land. ”

"Yes, General."

Gao Shun said to Li Qiang again: "Li Shichang, the Huns are very strange this time, the 10 Huns will be handed over to you, I don't care what you think, just don't kill people, you must pry open their mouths and figure out why they came?" How many people came? ”

Li Qiang replied briskly: "Don't worry, general, I'm the best at this kind of thing, just wait for the news." ”

Looking at his smiling expression, Gao Shun felt sad for the ten Huns; He arranged for Ma Gui again: "You will go to the blacksmith in a while, make 10 pairs of heavy shackles, bring them to the Hun slaves, and let them farm in the future. ”

"Yes, General!"

"Send the 82 Xiongnu heads to the county government immediately."

"Yes, General!"

"Copper coins are put into storage, and inferior weapons are sent to the blacksmith for use; The leather armor will be stored for the time being, and will be repaired and used later; salted meat was sent to the cavalry canteen to improve the diet; In the future, it will be done in this way, and all seizures will be credited. ”

"Yes, General!"

Gao Shun said to everyone again: "Recently, it has become more and more restless, and I have decided that those who hold official positions above the rank of infantry Dubo and above, and those who hold official positions above the rank of cavalry commander, can allow their whole families to move to Bibo Fort, allocate land and houses, reduce their worries, and make every effort to train and prevent large-scale attacks by the Huns." ”

"Yes, General!" Li Qiang was very supportive of Gao Shun's methods, so that his family members would be safe, which would be conducive to the stability of the troops, and make these people more loyal to their own forces, and completely tied them to Gao Shun's chariot.

Ma Gui asked, "General, the infantry does not include Dubo, and the cavalry does not include the commander?" ”

"Including, otherwise there wouldn't be many people relocated." Gao Shun explained.

Ma Gui retorted: "General, there are not many people now, there will be more people in the future, if 10,000 cavalry are formed, just 1,000 people, the number of troops in the future is very large, and the number of grassroots officers is large, how to settle them at that time?" If it is not settled, it will lead to injustice, and I suggest that it be strictly controlled from the beginning, and regard this as the honor of the officers and soldiers and the motivation for progress, so it cannot include the infantry and cavalry. ”

Gao Shun thought for a moment and felt that his words made sense, so he said, "Then listen to you, not included; Time is very tight, notify today, the family near today to start moving, home far tomorrow to start moving, so that the time can be staggered, so that there will be no one at home, and each person will send a carriage to assist. ”

"Yes, General!"

In the Xixiang cottage, the three old Lou Wei and You Du sat opposite each other.

Du Bian said: "The Huns will definitely come to retaliate, if they send a large army, the Taiping Village Protector will not dare to attack, and they are hiding in the castle, the Huns can't help them, it is we who suffer, so what?" ”

"I've been to visit twice, but I can't see Gao Lizheng at all, I can't even enter the castle, we can't rely on his village protection team, it's best to report to the county magistrate as soon as possible." The third old Lou Wei said with a sad face.

"I think we'd better move as soon as possible, and the county magistrate can't do anything about the Huns." Du Bian said.

The third elder sighed: "The world is so big, where can I settle down? It's hard! ”

Du Bian said: "This time, the Xinqi village team attacked in time and annihilated the Huns, otherwise we would have suffered this time, and I estimate that they have placed a guard post far away in the northwest." ”

The third elder said: "This is all their fault, if they didn't attack the Hun camp in the first place, they wouldn't have attracted so many Huns to retaliate." ”

"I don't like to hear what you say, the Huns haven't been here before?" Du Bian retorted.

The three elders didn't speak, they were just sulking.

Ma Gui arranged for Wei Wei to personally take a cavalry to escort the head to the county seat, this was to give him a chance to raise his eyebrows.

Using a carriage to pull the heads of so many alien races, as soon as they entered the county seat, it immediately caused a huge sensation, and the people rushed to watch. The head of the alien race cannot be faked, and the people of the border county can know it at a glance.

The magistrate of Lou Fu County was very happy to learn that the village guard team sent the head of the Huns, last time there were only the rescued, and there was no head of the enemy, the credit was greatly reduced, this time it was a real feat, after sending away Wei Wei who came to send the head, Wang Xuan immediately personally led people to send the head to the Yin Pavilion, and personally reported to the Taishou of Yanmen County.

When the Taishou of Yanmen County learned that Wang Xuan had come to report his merits again, and even the head had been brought in, he was very interested and immediately summoned him.

"Taishou, there was no basis for the empty statement last time, but this time it is the real head, and you can send a servant to check."

"Haha, okay, County Magistrate Wang is really a person of great merit. Tell me the details. ”

Wang Xuan said: "Taishou, yesterday morning, the Huns 100 people attacked, and the Taiping Village Guardian Team had already set up a guard post in the west of it, and detected the enemy's attack half an hour in advance, so it was fully prepared, blocking it on a dead road, cutting off its way back, killing most of it, cutting off 82 heads, and capturing 10 others, and being imprisoned as slaves in Taiping Village to forgive their crimes. ”

"Then the village protection team really has this power? Unexpectedly, they completely annihilated a Hun hundred-man team? How many cavalry did they have? "Taishou clearly did not believe that the Han cavalry could win in a frontal field battle.

"I heard a report from the next person, and the two dissatisfied tuns are estimated to be less than 200 people."

"How much did they lose?" According to Taishou's estimate, after this battle, there should be no more people left in the village protection team.

"I consulted with Dub, who came to send the head, and they had zero casualties."

Taishou couldn't help but secretly gasp, and it was unheard of to annihilate a cavalry hundred-man team with zero casualties; If this is the case, then the founder of the village protection team is really a genius. Hurriedly said: "County Magistrate Wang, please tell me in detail about the situation of the village protection team." ”

"Yes, Taishou!" Wang Xuan believed to tell what he knew.

After hearing this, Tai Shou felt that Gao Shun had made such a great contribution at a young age, fighting against foreign races with his own strength, protecting his homeland, and repeatedly achieving extraordinary achievements, so he must report to the court in time and ask for merit for him; If Wang Xuan is transferred away and Gao Shun is appointed as the county magistrate of Loufu County, then his flank will be very safe, and even if the Xianbei clan attacks, it will definitely become a big help for him.

So Taishou said: "Haha, County Magistrate Wang has made a great contribution this time, found such a talent, sniped aliens, and protected his hometown, I will report to the top truthfully, and I will never bury your merits."

This is exactly what Wang Xuan wanted, and immediately expressed his gratitude to Taishou.

The news that the Hun cavalry attacked and was completely annihilated by the Taiping Village Guardian Team spread quickly as Gao Jian guessed; Those merchants who took refuge in Taoyuan Fort even brought the news to the surrounding counties, making Taoyuan Fort and the village protection team even more famous.

Along with this, there was also the security and defense measures of Taoyuan Fort and the good treatment of the village guards.

The cavalry of the village guards, Du Bo and the tun chief, as well as the infantry tun chief, returned to their hometowns with their carriages one after another, and moved the whole family to live in the castle, and the news spread everywhere as they moved.

This made many aspirants who were originally reluctant to participate in the village protection team quickly change their thinking.

Many people felt that they were extraordinary, and if they joined the border army, they might have done more, but they felt that the water in the small pool of the village protection team was too shallow to support them as big fish; Those who are really capable, like Ge Hu and Xu Lin, are forced to join the village protection team when they are helpless and desperate.

Now it seems that participating in the village protection team can get greater benefits, not only can the family be relocated to live in the castle, which is very safe, but also the distribution of land, brick houses, they eat well in the village protection team, the salary is paid on time, the official position is completely based on ability, will not bury personal talents, there is not so much oppression and exploitation within the border army, and participating in the village protection team is not selling themselves into slavery, perhaps, the village protection team is a good springboard for them.

As a result, in the following month, the number of people who came to participate in the challenge increased significantly, and the overall quality was greatly improved compared to before, which Gao Shun and others did not expect.
