After the end of the war, the Guangwu Army, which had suffered a great loss of vitality, did not seem to have much else to do except assist the households in the counties under the county town to harvest the autumn grain. This sudden war almost changed the peaceful trajectory of the entire Liangzhou, causing Liangzhou to suffer huge losses in manpower and material resources.

Once the war is settled, the top priority should be to resume production. So after giving some advice to Taishou, the remnants of the Guangwu army continued to harvest autumn grain under the leadership of Li Yanzhi, Pang Xi and other chief officials. The huge loss of manpower is not a good way to make up for it for a while. Households in the county government are almost unable to raise money. And the huge shortage of personnel in the Guangwu Army cannot be ignored. After some consideration, Xin Taishou transferred hundreds of soldiers from his own subordinate family from Wuxing County, near Guzang, to serve as soldiers in the Guangwu Army.

Since then, the number of troops in Gwangmu County has returned to the size of 1,000. However, after Xin Taishou transferred this family soldier, he did not clarify the subordinate relationship between them and the Guangwu Army, so that now there are many orders in the camp, which makes Li Yanzhi quite worried. He was not only worried that the soldiers of the tribes transferred by these princes did not obey the military orders. However, between the two ministries, there are differences in treatment, subordination, armament, etc., and in the long run, even the soldiers of the original headquarters will gradually become uneven, and even make the army discouraged.

If the Guangwu soldiers who had just shown some elite potential fell into that step, even Li Yanzhi would feel sad. If the next war comes, what use can these hundreds of soldiers withstand! Not to mention that in the same battalion, the friction between the headquarters and these subordinates, which is suffering from unevenness, and even the conflict of the battalion is almost a foreseeable outcome.

Li Yanzhi thought to himself secretly, thinking that if he had kung fu, he would definitely make a statement to the prince, so that he could also rethink how his family soldiers should be placed.

Li Yanzhi took hundreds of soldiers from the infantry battalion and the shooting battalion to advance in the direction of Lingju County. Sun Jianxiong, the commander of the shooting sound battalion, and Zhao Chengzhi, the commander of the infantry battalion, also accompanied him. Zhao Chengzhi fought hard in Jincheng City before, and was also seriously injured. Recently, my injury has improved slightly, but I can't bear the loneliness of doing nothing. It is also to let a personal soldier support a little, insisting on performing his own military affairs. Li Yanzhi couldn't resist him, so he had to let him accompany him.

Thanks to the hard work of the soldiers in Guangwu and Lingju, as well as the original households, the autumn grain harvest in these fields belonging to Lingju County is now nearing completion. Rao is like this, in the southerly direction of Lingju County, there are still nearly 1,000 acres of fields that have not been harvested. Li Yanzhao inquired earlier, only to learn that most of these fields were owned by those households in Lingju County who were temporarily conscripted into the army. This time, these conscripts in Lingju County also suffered huge losses in the defensive battle of Jincheng County. There were nearly 5,000 people when they set out, and when they returned, there were less than 2,000.

Although there are also many levies who escaped from the battle and then fled elsewhere. However, although Li Yanzhi knew it, he did not intend to investigate it deeply. Now there is a shortage of manpower, and if we continue to investigate, I am afraid that few will be able to escape. Those who defect from the army in wartime are capital offenses. Military law does not matter whether it is a conscripted recruit or a veteran of a hundred battles who are fleeing from battle.

Li Yanzhi's only thought about this is that in the future, he must not drive ducks to the shelves, and force these people who are not strong-willed and not suitable for joining the army to join the army. Not to mention harming these Ding Zhuang and their families, it will also harm those loyal soldiers who perform their duties on the battlefield.

These acres belong to the households of several villages. Li Yanzhi, Sun and Zhao each divided a responsibility area, and each took two or three hundred people to the area they were responsible for. Li Yanzhao led his troops to travel three miles, and turned a small mountain pass, which was the village assigned to them for responsibility.

The village is nestled in the middle of the mountains, and the water flows gently from the west side of the village. The east side of the village is backed by mountains, and there is a little farmland on the north and south sides. Across the river from the village is a large area of farmland belonging to the households in the village.

Li Yanzhi led his troops into the village, but saw that the village was quiet. Not a single figure. He went out of the village again and looked into the farmland on the north side of the village, but there was still no one. He suddenly sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly called Liu Jiwu and asked him to send some people to find out where the people in the village were.

Liu Jiwu took the order and left, and immediately called a few guards to look around for the people in this village. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the brothers who had been sent out returned to report that the men, women, and children of the village were all concentrated in the fields on the other side of the river, and it seemed that they were in conflict with someone, and that the two groups were facing each other.

When Li Yanzhi heard the news, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly ordered a group of subordinates who were resting outside the village to gather, and then collectively headed towards the wooden bridge connecting the village with the fields on the west bank. Fearing that the situation there would become uncontrollable, he ordered his men to march quickly towards the place where the incident occurred.

After all, they were soldiers who had experienced the battlefield, and when they heard Li Yanzhi's order, these soldiers immediately trotted up. And Li Yanzhi himself was injured, and he trotted in pain for a while, and it was no longer possible to continue. He ordered Liu Jiwu to take the brigade to the place where the incident occurred, and it was necessary to prevent the villagers from using force with another group of people who did not know the origin. Liu Jiwu led the order to take his subordinates away, and Li Yanzhi had to sit on the side of the road out of breath and rest for a while, and then continued to get up and hurry.

After walking for only a mile, Li Yanzhi saw the place where the villagers gathered from a distance. However, there was chaos as far as the eye could see. The officers and soldiers of the county government only came to assist in the autumn harvest farming, and they did not bring any weapons. Liu Jiwu separated the two sides, but the villagers didn't buy it at all, and while attacking the front line formed by the officers and soldiers, they shouted and scolded them for being dogs. However, the other side of the confrontation with the villagers stood behind the soldiers, looking at the angry villagers with fear.

As Li Yanzhi approached, the conflict continued. When Liu Jiwu saw Li Yanzhi coming, he separated the soldiers around him and hurried to Li Yanzhi's side.

Li Yanzhi looked at the messy scene, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Jiwu looked back at the villagers who were still attacking the front line of the soldiers in the field, and said in a low voice: "The people in the back are the subordinates of the Yin family. According to the accounts and speculations I have heard from the villagers, hundreds of acres of fertile land in the village have been infested by rats and pests, and the yield has been greatly reduced. When the Yin family learned about it, they wanted to take the opportunity to buy or even snatch these acres at a low price, but most of the villagers did not allow it. These tribes of the Yin family clashed with the villagers, and several people were killed. When the villagers heard the news, they flocked to the place to seek justice from these evil slaves. ”

When Li Yanzhi heard this, he looked at those Yin family tribulations, but his eyes were not good. He turned his head and asked Liu Jiwu: "In that case, why did you stop those villagers?" Let them give those big dogs a little hardship, I don't see it. In the future, the government will blame it, and the law will not blame the public. ”

Liu Jiwu shook his head and whispered: "Sima doesn't know, I'm not protecting those Yin clans, I'm afraid that the villagers will suffer." Many of those tribes were armed and hidden in burqas. And the villagers and we had some hoes, sickles and other farm tools, and we couldn't help at all. ”

Li Yanzhi listened to Liu Jiwu's report, and said, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look." We can't let these dogs bully the common people here. After saying that, Li Yanzhi went down the ridge of the field and walked towards the place where the incident occurred.

When I got closer, I saw several corpses lying horizontally in the field behind the villagers who were attacking the soldiers' line. Their families are weeping over their bodies. Li Yanzhi walked to the first corpse that looked quite young, the corpse was stabbed in the chest, and the blood almost soaked the entire clothes. A young lady knelt beside the corpse with her hands covered in blood and sobbed.

Li Yanzhi squatted down next to the corpse, and the little lady raised her head and saw that the person in front of her was wearing a short shirt, and the short shirt was covered with a leather armor. He was followed by the generals who commanded the officers and soldiers. The little lady showed a tangled look on her face, stayed for a moment, then lowered her head and continued to sob, and after a while, she said with anger and despair: "Unexpectedly, my father died on the battlefield, and this is the end in exchange!" ”

Hearing this, Li Yanzhi stood for a few breaths as if he had been struck by lightning, and then looked at the little lady who knelt on the ground and sobbed, and said in a deep voice: "What grievances does the little lady have, although she says it clearly!" I am the county government Sima, and I must not let the lawbreakers go unpunished! ”

When the little lady heard this, she looked up at Li Yanzhao in surprise, and then bowed down beside the corpse: "Thank you Sima for being the master of the grass people!" After that, the little lady straightened up and pointed to the corpse beside her with teary eyes: "My father and Lang Jun are both veterans, and this time the villagers are recruited to join the army, and no one in the family will have to pay a heavy tax of one stone per acre of land." My father joined the army without telling me. He didn't worry about me alone, so he promised me to the Wu family's Xiaolangjun......"

The little lady paused, sobbed, and said, "The battle is over...... Neither father returned...... Woo woo woo ......" When she said this, she couldn't help but be grief-stricken, and she cried for a while before she forcibly suppressed the sadness in her heart, and said, "This time, the trilogy of those big families...... You want to enclose my land. Only five stones of millet are given per acre, and we don't want to wait...... Lang Jun looked for those trilogy theories...... Behold...... Who knows......"

The little lady couldn't hold back her grief anymore and cried even louder.

Li Yanzhao bent down, patted the little lady's head, and said with a little suppressed anger in his voice: "Don't be sad little lady, Li knows what happened, and he will definitely make the decision for you!" With that, he got up, pulled Liu Jiwu over, and went straight to the subordinates of the Yin family behind the soldiers.
