Chapter 219: A Hundred Wastes to be Rebuilt

In the next few days, Li Yanzhi took Su Fu to continue to familiarize himself with the affairs of the camp and introduced the generals to the army. Flipping through the accounts of the arsenal, the granary, the books, etc. Su Fu's comprehension is also quite fast, and after a few days, he has been able to take care of the daily chores in the camp in an orderly manner. Seeing this, Li Yanzhi was also relieved.

After everything was settled, Li Yanzhi reported to Pang Xi the more than 30 people who insisted on following him to Lingju to take up his post, and went to the county government to invite a paper for them. Pang Xi originally saw Li Yanzhi take away a lieutenant-level general, and he was already quite complaining. However, as soon as the county government issued an order, Pang Xi had nothing to say. Su Fu, who is now acting Sima, can also be used as a horseman. Therefore, for this move, Pang Xi also lightly exposed it, and the right did not press it.

When it was time to separate, Li Yanzhi still felt that there were a lot of nostalgia in this camp. These days, as soon as he had time, he ran to the stable. Today, the stables have been expanded several times and are no longer what they used to be. Today, however, compared to when they first managed it, the stables are still clean and clean, and even though they are a gathering place for animals, they still feel refreshing.

Now the person who is responsible for feeding the horses has been replaced by the old pawns of the two Shi army. These veterans also know that Li Yanzhi was originally born as a stable, and it is no accident that they have watched him step by step to where he is now, and everyone has a little respect in their hearts. In the past few days, I have seen that Li Yanzhi often comes to the stable, and I also know that this Sima lingers on the old days. In addition to feeding the horses and cleaning, these old soldiers also talked with Li Yanzhi from time to time. Although this Sima is now in a high position, he still has no shelf, which also makes these old soldiers even more admired.

The generals and soldiers who were going to follow Li Yanzhi to Lingju to take up their posts also packed their bags. Each family is in the county town, and there are not many personal belongings except for the necessary bedding and other things. Even if there were, it would have been sent home long ago. At this time, they were all waiting for Li Yanzhi to give an order, and then they followed.

Whether it is a general or a soldier riding a horse in the army, it is a public property in the army. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to ride to Lingju. Li Yanzhi thought about it, so he took a half-day off, rented two ox carts from the county town, and then put the simple clothes of these people on the ox carts. Li Yanzhi went to see the military master Du Jie and said goodbye to him. Then he went to the camp to summon the more than 30 people, loaded the ox cart, and then drove slowly outside the camp.

This time, Li Yanzhi has decided to go quietly. Although there is a reason for the derogatory thing, it is not very glorious after all. If a large group of subordinates see themselves off with great fanfare, although they do not advertise their influence, in the eyes of others, they will always cause those unwarranted and inexplicable speculations. At this juncture, Li Yanzhi himself was the center of right and wrong, and he never wanted to cause these troubles for himself.

Although the group looked mighty, they walked out of the camp gate in a low-key manner and headed towards the south. Walking out of the land of Li Xu, Liu Jiwu pulled Li Yanzhi and motioned him to look behind. Li Yanzhi turned his head to look, but found that there was a horse in the distance, beating a horse and galloping towards him.

Li Yanzhi couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Fang Cai had already said goodbye to Pang Du and Su Fu in the camp. But they did not know who it was that came at a gallop.

After about half a pillar of incense, the horse galloped close, and Li Yanzhi found out that this person was actually Cao Jian. When Cao Jianxing approached the team, he dismounted and abandoned the reins, clasped his fists and knocked on the ground: "Li Sima, farewell here, I hope to cherish a lot, and my subordinates are waiting for Sima Jiayin." ”

Li Yanzhi smiled, then jumped out of the ox cart, stepped forward to hold Cao Jian's arm, and said, "You and I have been robed for many years, and we already know each other. Regardless of whether you go or stay, you can still recount the friendship in the future. If you stay in the Guangwu army, you will be able to treat those cavalry subordinates alive, and hope that they will not be sacrificed needlessly. ”

Cao Jian raised his head and looked at Li Yanzhi, but they were both speechless.

"Captain Cao Bairen, please go back, but there is a trust in the future, and I will gladly obey the order."

Looking at the direction in which the team was moving farther and farther away, Cao Jian's expression became indescribably complicated.

Lingju is in the south of Guangwu, only a few dozen miles away. Even though the crowd drove the ox cart and marched slowly, they arrived outside Lingju County at the time of Shen. The city wall of Lingju County is also made of rammed earth, Li Yanzhi looked up, I don't know how many years this city wall has gone through, and every section of the rammed earth city wall seems to tell him about the vicissitudes of the world they have experienced. The city wall is also very low, but the height is about five zhang, which makes Li Yanzhi feel that he can easily climb this section of the city wall by taking a personal ladder.

When they came from the north of the county seat, they took a closer look, and Li Yanzhi actually saw more than one collapse on this low and dilapidated city wall. This situation couldn't help but make him frown secretly. Although Jincheng is still under the control of Liangzhou, if there is a war in the future, Jincheng will not be able to hold it, and Lingju will bear the brunt.

He took out a stack of official documents of appointment, showed them to the gatekeeper, and then asked where the county government was, and led the people into the county seat. Follow the direction of the city gate officials through the streets and alleys, and go straight to the county government.

The group was mighty, although the armor, weapons and other items had been returned to the arsenal of the Guangwu Army. However, these people are all soldiers who have fought to the death on the battlefield not long ago and survived, and the kind of awe-inspiring and murderous aura that naturally exudes from their bodies, and their sharp eyes like blades, make the people and hawkers on the street dare not look directly.

Everyone walked in the streets of Lingju County, only to see that many people were wearing linen and filial piety, erecting mourning halls, and in the streets and alleys, there were also women and children in plain clothes hurrying by. When Li Yanzhi saw this scene, his heart suddenly felt a little sad.

If there is still a little bit of prosperity in Guangwu County, today's Lingju County is a withered scene waiting to be rebuilt. White flags can be found everywhere in low-slung houses. In addition, these houses, which are used as private houses, are also mottled with earthen walls. Although there are many tiled roofs, most of them are thatched tiles and look dilapidated. The women and children in the city were all thin, and it was obvious that the standard of living in the county was not comparable to that in the county.

After a quarter of an hour in the city, the soldiers came to the bell and drum tower in the center of the city. The bell and drum tower of Lingju County is in the center of the county, and it looks like it is only two zhang high, three zhang square, a bell is placed on it, and there are four trumpets and drums. Although the roof is covered with tiles, Li Yanzhi also feels that this bell and drum tower is not called the bell and drum tower, but it is more appropriate to call it the bell and drum tower.

Everyone marched into the county government, and the officials guarding the door of the county government did not dare to stop Li Yanzhi when they saw the official document of transfer held by Li Yanzhi. After all, in the future, this transferred Sima can be regarded as their top boss. Li Yanzhi ordered all the soldiers and generals who were driving the ox cart to rest outside the door for a while. He and Liu Jiwu stepped through the gate together, bypassed the photo wall, and then walked towards the main hall where the county magistrate handled official business.

At this time, although it was daytime, the county magistrate, who was supposed to handle official business in the hall, was nowhere to be seen. couldn't help but make Li Yanzhi look slightly angry. In the main hall of the county government, not to mention the county order, there is not a single small official. There are only a mountain of official documents piled up on top of the county order.

"What about people?" Li Yanzhi yelled in the main hall of the county government. Not long after, in the side room of the county government, there was a small official who walked out tremblingly, and then saw Li Yanzhi with an angry face in the main hall, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, lest he offend this uncle who seemed to be not small.

"Where did Zhang Mingfu go?" When Li Yanzhi saw someone coming, he also suppressed his anger and asked, but his voice was still slightly stiff.

"Villain...... The villain doesn't know where Zhang Mingfu went......" The little official said and said, he couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness, and his voice gradually lowered.

"Don't look for it yet!" Liu Jiwu also showed a little anger when he heard this, and said angrily. Hearing this, the little official trembled and saluted, and was about to retreat, but when he heard that he was standing in front of several cases of the county order, the thoughtful Li Yanzhi called: "Slow! ”

"Since I don't know where, I don't have to look for it. I'll be waiting for you! Li Yanzhi said lightly.
