Zhao Dahe stood at the front, Zheng Zhong, the commander of Peach Blossom Castle, stood on the right side, Zhao Dahe was followed by a group of generals, and Zheng Zhong was flanked by some scribes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

These scribes no longer had the original sense of pride, and looking at Zhao Dahe and his entourage, the look of fear on their faces was obvious.

Although the generals of the Yong'an Army all had heavy troops, they did not show any sense of superiority, and they got along with the scribes in harmony, but they were also very harmonious.

Suddenly, the group rode back on horseback at night, and hugged Zhao Dahe and said, "Lord Defense, the general is back!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the people who had gathered here for a long time could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts, and they all stretched their necks to look into the distance at the same time.

Zhao Dahe nodded, his face did not change much, but his slightly trembling body betrayed his thoughts.

The three-pole flag first appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the first one was the 'Ming' flag, followed by the 'Xiao' and 'Meng' two flags.

An army marched in orderly steps, all with their heads held high, waving their flags from afar.

"The wolf smoke rises and the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rises and rolls the horse, the sword breath is like frost, the heart is like the Yellow River, who can resist for decades..."

Zhao Dahe was about to give the order to greet him, but he suddenly raised his hand to stop the commotion, and when he listened carefully, he actually heard a singing voice.

This voice from far and near, revealing the vicissitudes and sorrows, makes people happy when the army returns, and will not forget those soldiers who died for this victory.

When they got closer and closer, they watched the soldiers of the Yong'an Army and the soldiers of the Ming Army mixed together, not only with a lot of trophies, but also many people who helped the old and the young to follow, and it was dense.

"Hey, it seems that this time, General Xiao is another big victory, and he has won so much." Zheng Zhong looked at this scene and smiled.

At this moment, a servant hurriedly ran up and whispered a few words to Zheng Zhong, and the more Zheng Zhong listened, the more surprised he became, and he looked at the servant with wide eyes.

"Are you telling the truth?"

The servant bent down again and again, and said, "Back to the lord, what the little one said is true. ”

After instructing the housekeeper to hand over some silver taels to the servant, Zheng Zhong looked ahead in astonishment, only to see Xiao Yi and Meng Xiping coming hand in hand.

The people flocked up, and the gentry and merchants in the Peach Blossom Fort couldn't squeeze in, so they could only bow their hands to Xiao Yi from a distance to congratulate them.

Zheng Zhong muttered: "With such a big victory, it seems... It seems that this Datong is about to change..."

The whole army sang a triumphant song and returned victoriously, not stopping from Peach Blossom Fort, but passing through Peach Blossom Fort to Ulzhou, and Zhao Dahe, the defender of Peach Blossom Fort, accompanied Xiao Yi to go, while talking about Xiao Yi's achievements in Peach Blossom Fort over the past few days, and at the same time sent people to report Ulzhou urgently.

Although Xiao Yi left the Peach Blossom Castle, the next defensive officer Zhao Dahe was Xiao Yiyong'an's military descendant, and strictly abided by Xiao Yi's various government orders.

In various matters, it is mutually helpful with Zhao Dahe, and it is also the well water that does not interfere with the river water.

Zhao Dahe was in charge of military camp drills, sentinels, patrols, etc., and Zheng Zhong dealt with most of the decrees from Ulzhou and the local affairs of Taohuabao, and discussed and decided with Zhao Dahe when he encountered major events.

As a result, Taohuabao is harmonious in civil and military, and there are no robbers and bandits in Qingping, Ulzhou, and merchants from all over the world continue to settle in Taohuabao, and at its busiest, there are seven or eight new shops opening in Taohuabao almost every day.

The displaced people continued to come, and under the protection of Zhao Dahe, they reclaimed wasteland and built houses in various places in Taohuabao, and the faction was thriving.

Now the development speed of Peach Blossom Fort is growing several times, the city has been expanded twice, each city gate has been repaired outside the urn city and the moat, a well-made copper and iron cannon is placed on the city tower, indicating the rapid development of Peach Blossom Fort.

When Xiao Yi and the others passed under the Peach Blossom Castle City, there was an endless stream of people and merchants, and even Shi Lu and Huang Yang almost couldn't recognize that this was the Peach Blossom Castle, and from the city wall, it looked at least twice as large as before.

Just when Xiao Yi and Zhao Dahe, Meng Xiping and others went to Ulzhou, a group of Yong'an troops galloped in from the east gate of Ulzhou at night.

Passing through the main street, passing the Drum Tower, you will go around along the streets of Ulju City that extend in all directions.

Not long apart, the Ulzhou Tuntian Officer, the first battalion officer of the Zhenwei Battalion, the Qianzong Li Erniu, the Zhenwei Battalion the second battalion officer, the Qianzong Yuan Shaogong, the Zhenwei Battalion the third battalion officer, the Qianzong Zhou Ding and the Ulzhou Zhizhou Wang Zhan's mansions each ushered in a night of non-collection.

After these nights, the guards in front of the door hurriedly stepped forward to intercept them, and they took out a wooden token one after another, but their pace did not stop at all, but accelerated their speed, and opened their mouths to shout.

"The guerrilla general Xiao Yiling River has a great victory, and he is about to enter the city after returning from victory!"

As soon as these words came out, coupled with the cold gaze and fine armor that did not accept the cold at night, those family members were so scared that they lost a few points, how dare they stop it.

Immediately hehe, hey, laugh and get out of the way.

At this time, Wang Zhan was lying on a pair of wooden chairs, holding a teacup in his hand, and the two maidservants behind him were serving with all their hearts.

Although the cold wind was gusting outside, Wang Zhan could only feel the warmth in this greenhouse like spring, in fact, Wang Zhan was not like the previous Zhizhou Chonggu, greedy for money and lustful, and valued power.

Wang Zhan only focused on political achievements, and didn't pay much attention to what power struggle, since Xiao Yi took over Ulzhou, those civil officials have not stopped for a moment, a small invitation on three days, and a big invitation on five days.

And Wang Zhan can also see their purpose, but Xiao Yi's power is beneficial to the military and people of Ulzhou, at least he is really doing good things, and Wang Zhan naturally won't care.

Wang Zhan refused to come forward, and these civil officials naturally scattered as birds and beasts, and later they all became panicked under Xiao Yi's thunderous methods, and just asked Xiao Yi not to deal with himself.

After Xiao Yi led the Yongan army to help, there seemed to be unrest in the city at first.

These civil officials thought that Xiao Yi would definitely not come back, and they always mentioned Xiao Yi's decree in front of Wang Zhan as if they were nothing, and complained bitterly.

For example, at first, those civil officials were willing to beg Xiao Ye to buy up the useless fields in their hands at a large price.

But now, those fields have been renovated and distributed to the landless people, Xiao also issued seeds, plows and other cultivated land things, and also let the people rent official cattle to plough, and there are tax exemptions and other decrees in the first year.

It has long been changing rapidly, and it has changed from useless chicken ribs to 'fertile fields'.

It just so happened that Xiao Yi led the Yongan army to Liaodong to die, and these civil officials were excited, so they thought about pocketing these fields again, so that they could save a lot of money and get some fertile fields, why not?

With such careful thinking, how could Wang Zhan not know?

Although Wang Zhan was a little pedantic, he knew very well what Ulzhou could rely on to get to where it is today, so he went to Li Erniu to tell him that day.

After Li Erniu received it, he immediately found Yuan Shaogong and Zhou Ding, and after a little discussion, the three of them felt that they were only thousands of generals, and they were not absolutely sure what to do with these civil officials and Haoqiang.

And Xiao Yi was not in Ulzhou, so it was difficult to attack them, so after thinking about it, he had to order the Zhenwei Battalion in Ulzhou City to send double the patrol and sentry strength, and wait for Xiao Yi to come back.

The day and night patrols of the Zhenwei Battalion did have a deterrent effect at first, but within half a month, the people with evil intentions could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts.

Xiao Yidu is gone, what can the people of this Zhenwei camp do?

The civil officials of Ulzhou City and the local heroes all thought that Xiao Yi's arrival in Liaodong was a beautiful thing, which made Xiao Yi dizzy and went to find death by himself, and there was no way to live.

Even if Zhizhou Wang Zhan doesn't pick his head, it is enough if he doesn't talk much.

Wang Zhan didn't say a word about this matter, and after more than a month of careful preparation and hard waiting, the civil officials and Haoqiang thought that the general trend had been decided, and they began to move.

Shortly before Peach Blossom Fort galloped into the city at night, in a mansion, several Ulzhou officials in official uniforms and local tycoons gathered together and discussed constantly.

"Don't miss the opportunity, you can't wait any longer!" One person took the case.

An official in a cyan official uniform also said: "Since Wang Zhan doesn't speak, then don't wait for him, we can deal with it ourselves." ”

At this moment, an official said loudly: "This official can mobilize the people to protect the state city, and you can make noise to the villagers and local ruffians, and at that time, this Zhenwei battalion alone will not be able to manage it!" ”

After this person spoke, the rest of the civil officials faintly headed him.

"Okay, the old man will listen to the words of the commander and scatter all his wealth to help, Xiao Yi thief can bear me!"

Hearing this, this week's adult was full of ruthlessness and said, "Xiao Yi? I'm afraid he has already died in Liaodong at this time! ”

"Hahaha."

When Xiao Yi had just arrived at Peach Blossom Castle, that is, on the afternoon of September 10 in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Ulzhou City, which had been quiet for more than half a year, was about to usher in this last turmoil.
