Besides, in Yi County, Cen Hang waited for two days, but he didn't see a reaction outside the city, and thought that Yang Xi would no longer attack the city, but tonight he waited until midnight, but someone came to report that there was a fire outside the city.

Cen Hang hurriedly got up to investigate, and sure enough, he saw a fire outside the north city gate, and the defenders in the city also found something unusual, and some even rushed to the north city.

"Speaking of attacking the southern city, but the fire is in the north, it must be Childe's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, I have to gather people quickly, don't let Childe wait in vain."

Cen Hang hurriedly called more than a dozen people around him to go to various commercial houses to inform.

Half an hour later, all the people in the city gathered in the south of the city.

An hour later, five or six hundred people gathered in the compound of the China Eastern Airlines Chamber of Commerce, and the bosses of more than a dozen commercial houses also came in person.

Cen Hang didn't need to explain too much, everyone knew that Gongzi was coming, and everyone was very excited.

The China Eastern Airlines Chamber of Commerce had already prepared, and dozens of people went to the cellar to carry out the boxes that had been prepared a long time ago, and when they opened them, they were boxes of long knives.

So Cen Hang distributed the weapons to the people, and personally led these people, raised torches, and rushed to the southern city.

There were more than 300 defenders of Nancheng at this time, some of them were sleeping in the corners, and some were really defending the city.

Cen Hang took the lead, and five or six hundred people shouted and swarmed over.

The guards in charge of guarding the gate were not bad, and when they saw so many people rushing over, they recognized Cen Hang as the leader at a glance, and they came to fight Cen Hang with a knife.

Although Cen Hang has never fought, these people were all cooperated by Yang Xi a few years ago, so they will naturally learn some fighting skills, Cen Hang with the help of two or so, three people besiege one, but they still have the upper hand.

So the two fought together, and the situation was chaotic.

Within a few minutes, more than 20 people fell, and Cen Hang shouted, "Open the city gate and let Gongzi in." ”

There were already more than 20 men who were ready to grab the city gate, and the defenders saw that the opponent's weapons were not bad, and there were many people, so they were cowardly, Cen Hang seized the opportunity and cut off the right arm of the guards guarding the gate with a knife.

When the other defenders saw that the guards were cut down, some of them ran away, which was even worse, and the rest of the people, naturally, were not opponents, and they also ran away.

Cen Hang didn't dare to slow down by half a minute, for fear that other defenders would rush over, so he hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate.

Cai Kao was outside the city and was in a hurry, but he heard the shouts in the city to kill the heavens, and knew that it had begun, and he had already put on his horse, just waiting for the city gate to open.

As soon as the city gate opened, Cai Kao led the cavalry and rushed in, rushing into the city gate, but seeing that there were still defenders resisting, Cai Kao stabbed with his spear, and there was no enemy at all.

The remaining 100 or so people, when they saw that the city gate was really open, quickly knelt down and begged to surrender.

Cai Kao ordered a platoon of 150 people to hold the city gate, and he divided his troops to rush to the other city gates, and the team he encountered along the way to support the south gate was not an opponent at all.

Two hours later, the city fell, the county magistrate was hacked to death in the chaos, Cai Kao ordered people to count, beheaded 800, and the rest were all lowered.

Unfortunately, more than 30 people were killed and more than 20 were injured in the trading house.

Cai Kao controlled the troops, and was not allowed to infringe on the property in the city, and everything was decided when the prince came.

The report was sent to Yang Xi's military camp overnight, and Yang Xi left the camp early the next day, leaving Tai Shici to lead the army.

Someone had already reported the fall of Yi County to Huang Zu, and Zu was shocked when he saw the letter, but he couldn't do anything about it.

He himself knew the current situation, if Yang Xi wanted to take his Xiling, that is, within a few days, so he opened the four gates of Xiling wide and did not strictly defend it.

Yang Xi believed Huang Zu and asked him to send a letter to Qichun County, where the county magistrate of Qichun opened the city and surrendered, otherwise the thieves and soldiers would go to the city and the lives would be ruined.

Huang Zu was furious, but he was helpless.

"Yang Xi, you don't enter Xiling, but you want me to make Qi Chun surrender, you are humiliating me!"

Yang Xicai didn't bother to care what Huang Zu thought, he was embarrassed to give his face before, but now his hands will itch if he doesn't hit you in the face.

Left a thousand troops to guard Yi County, the army went all the way south, Qichun County heard that Huang Zu didn't care, so he naturally fell in despair.

Yang Xi sent all the officials who surrendered to Exian for training, and it was impossible for them to continue to manage Qichun.

If you want to become an official, you must first serve indoctrination.

As for the county officials and local officials in Yi County and Qichun County, they were naturally all transferred from among the current officials in E County.

Many of these have been in Exian for six or seven years, and have one or two years of management experience, plus they are the hardcore of the Chenhe factory, and they have qualifications, ability, and loyalty, and the two counties can get it in an instant.

Yang Xi ordered Tai Shi Ci to lead the headquarters to be stationed in Yi County, and Cai Kao to lead the headquarters to be stationed in Qichun.

As for the more than 2,000 people who surrendered in Yixian County and the more than 3,000 people in Qichun, they all chose to stay on their own, and more than 5,000 people left behind about 1,000 people, which is not bad.

Yang Xi sent all these 1,000 people to Wuchang County and handed them over to Zhou Tai for training as his subordinates.

Changsha Taishou Zhang Xian led 10,000 troops, and just halfway through, the news of Huang Zu's defeat had already come.

Zhang Xian scolded Huang Zu, what kind of war is this, it is simply a complete abuse.

There have been too many changes here, Lujiang Taishou Lu Kang had already received the news that Qichun was occupied by Yang Xi, and he directly waved his army eastward and arrived in Anhui County, which would cut off his own back road.

Lu Kang hurriedly returned to the army and stationed in Anhui County, but found that Yang Xi did not move troops at all, but only mobilized on his own.

A month later, the census was completed, and the population of Yi County was 15,000, and the population of Qichun reached 25,000 because of its relatively large territory, and the total of the two counties was 40,000.

According to statistics, the population of the six counties has exceeded 400,000.

Because Qichun and Yixian were separated from Exian by the Yangtze River, they did not penetrate deeply, and as soon as the abolition of the slave system came out, they were rejected and opposed by a lot, and some landlords ran against each other.

Yang Xi asked the officials to follow Wuchang's example, as long as there is no trouble, there will be no armed conflict, but they will not be executed, and they will definitely not provide any services and isolate them.

Even the canals and roads that will be built in the future will not be able to be used, and they will not be able to move an inch.

In addition, the tenant farmers themselves are free, you have such a low share here, the rest of the family is an employment relationship, free and high income, no matter how big the landlord has more fields, no one cultivates it, after two years, the big landlord will slowly become a small landlord, and the small one will be assimilated.

And some of those who supported the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce naturally slowly turned into capital farmers, breaking away from the slave and feudal class.

After the cotton seeds returned, Yang Xi had a way to get everyone to move and transform into industry and big agriculture.

Speaking of cotton seeds, Dong Cai has been collecting them in India for a few months at the moment, and has been back for more than a month.

Dong Cai predicts that by February next year, he should be able to return to Jiangxia.

Although Childe did not say how long he asked to return, Dong knew that Childe seemed to be seizing the time to develop, and it was not without pressure.

As for where this pressure came from, Dong Cai did not ask.

Only Yang Xi knows that there is probably more than one person who comes to this world, and if he is backward, he will be beaten, and if it develops elsewhere, the Han Dynasty will still be the previous Han Dynasty.

It doesn't matter if you are a hero or a hero, all of them are scum in the eyes of others, then it will really make you disappear in the eyes of others.

Yang Xi's guess was right, a team that has recently risen in the Wa Kingdom, led by Kazuo Yamamoto, has already defeated three small countries this month, and the army has grown to 15,000, and the territory has occupied one-third of the entire Wa Kingdom.

Emperor Aizhong, who has been passed down for 14 generations, has been the crown prince for many years, and as soon as he succeeded to the throne, he felt a crisis.

No matter how wars were waged, no one had ever disrespected the emperor, and Kazuo Yamamoto was the only exception.

Unifying a third, it finally caused panic among the remaining forces, and the war reached a critical moment.
