"Good! Tang Dan is dead, the right army of the Black Snake Army has been destroyed, and now Dingbei County is back in the hands of my Shunzhou Army again. Zhao Xun said with a laugh. After getting the good news from Luo Yi, Zhao Xun let go of all his worries. Now, the towns in the eastern, northern, and southern parts of Dingbei County have all fallen into their own hands, and the Black Snake Army in these places and some horse thieves and mountain bandits who are attached to the Black Snake Army have all been wiped out, and Dingbei County is worry-free.

There is also that money, which has greatly alleviated the pressure on his finances, and at the same time, Dingbei County has to invest a lot to govern. More importantly, now the Shunzhou army can be connected with Yanzhou Mansion, especially the successful construction of Dingbei City, and now the Shunzhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion trade road are completely opened.

"Ruyu, inform them and let them send someone to build a branch, now that the trade route has been opened, this is a new place where no one competes, besides, they are high-level merchants, and they also have to play a leading role for others."

Beside these people, a soldier of the personal guard responded in a beautiful voice.

"What? The wife of the commander is still in business herself? Qian Bing, who was also dressed as a guard on the side, asked in a coquettish voice. With a hint of weirdness on her face, although women do not show up in this era, the rich ladies of the official eunuch family are still staying in the deep boudoir. As the commander of the first army, how could Zhao Xun allow his wife to do business? Qian Bing thought puzzled.

Zhao Xun explained with a smile: "They are also idle, why not find something to do, so that they will not be bored." Besides, this can also earn a little pocket money for yourself, and it can also become a kind of weather vane for the Huolin Army, why not? ”

Qian Bing feels incredible, who cares if his wife is depressed now? Don't talk about doing business, even if you show your head, you won't show your head lightly, but Zhao Xun cares so much about their feelings, let them do what they want to do, and consider them. In fact, although it is said that a few women are in business, the general framework is that Zhao Xun makes plans, several women account and make decisions, and the actual operation is responsible for the internal security and internal affairs department.

Speaking of internal guards, Zhao Xun is a little big, internal guards were originally established by Zhao Xun in order to take care of those women who were innocent by mountain bandits, and then to protect their own family guards and maids, now the scale is getting bigger and bigger. It's not that Situ Yan expanded privately, but because of the invasion of the Yan Army, the woman was abandoned by her family many years ago, and in the end, she had no choice but to be placed by Zhao Xun to Situ Yan's subordinates. In the end, Zhao Xun divided it into two and divided it into internal security and internal affairs departments, one was responsible for security, and the other was responsible for maids, servants and internal government property.

Glancing at Su Ziyan, who was like an ice cube on his side, Zhao Xun felt a deep headache, although he was dissatisfied with Su Ziyan's words and did not believe it, but when he saw this ice beauty now, he also trembled.

"My lord! And what about these captives? What should I do? Zhu asked with tears.

Zhao Xun said coldly: "These bastards will only harm the people, what's the use of keeping them." Go down and check it, and those who commit the most heinous crimes will be beheaded in public. The rest, jumping out of the part to break into our army, reorganize from the new, expand the army. Let the rest of the people go and repair the walls and roads, and do some good deeds for the people. By the way, those victims can also participate in the repair of city walls and roads in the form of work-for-relief, which can be regarded as finding a way for them to live. ”

"Obey, sir!"

"Yang Qiu, pass the order, let the soldiers of each battalion honestly remember the military regulations and military discipline for me, I don't want them to die not in the hands of the enemy, but in the hands of the military judge! Let the military judge lead the team to patrol the streets, and all the soldiers who find that they are harming the people will be killed on the spot once they are verified! Zhao Xun said coldly, now that he had just taken back Dingbei County from the Black Snake Army, he didn't want any more accidents.

"Obey! Subordinates will do it! Yang Qiu was shocked and left as ordered. Zhao Xun's requirements for military regulations were extremely strict at that time, and those who violated military discipline were punished severely at that time, and after yesterday's attack on the western town, four or five soldiers were beheaded on the spot by Zhao Xun for violating military regulations.

"Su Ziyan, Qian Bing! You two...... Kindness...... I have determined that in Bei County, many innocent women who were robbed by the Black Snake Army are now homeless, and I think that let the two of you organize them, whether it is logistics, or participating in the war, it can be regarded as a resettlement for them. After all, they are all poor people, and we can't ignore them! Speaking of which, Zhao Xun was annoyed, these Black Snake Army, they don't do good things, snatching up women, no worse than the Yan Army.

Su Ziyan's eyes lit up and he didn't speak, Qian Bing glanced at Su Ziyan, smiled at Zhao Xun and said, "My lord, what about those Khitans, Uighurs and Turkic women?" ”

"Whatever race a woman is, all who are on my land are my people, and I should give them refuge. Recruit them too, these northern nomadic women, who can shoot arrows on horses, carry knives below, and serve men. Remember, don't let an alien woman occupy a high position or an advantage in your team. Zhao Xun said firmly.

"Then the adults give me a small quota?" Qian Bing suddenly became interested.

Zhao Xun smiled: "How many you recruit, how many places I will give you!" Remember, only those who can fight can join, and even if they become an army, I guess it will be mostly logistics. As for the salary, it will be provided according to the logistics soldiers. ”

Qian Bing smiled: "It seems that I am going to be a female general, my lord, don't break your word!" I'm going to recruit. By the way, can you secondment some of your personal guard battalion soldiers to serve as instructors for my subordinates for a while? ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said: "You don't have to worry about this, in three days, your instructors will arrive, and when the time comes, I will give you 100 instructors, they are more suitable for you than the pro-guard battalion." "Let this group of men in the guard camp enter the women's barracks? It's just, it's hard to practice anything.

As for the training of this female soldier, Zhao Xun also made a decision to settle the three or four hundred women in the city, and he couldn't let them all become dusty women. Speaking of which, isn't there any Sun Wu in history who trained female soldiers for King Wu? Of course, it's impossible to expect them to come out and kill the enemy. There are many female generals in history, but professional female soldiers do not seem to have appeared in the feudal period.

The next day, except for the second and fourth capitals of the Shunzhou army, which expropriated the northwest border towns, echoed with the Beifeng Fort more than 60 miles away to resist the harassment of the Khitans, the rest of the captains came to Dingbei City.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Now we have officially recovered Dingbei County, but we can't stop there, the Black Snake Army must be eliminated. Everyone has seen how difficult it is for the people living under the rule of the Black Snake Army, and it is necessary for us to completely sweep him away. ”

Looking at everyone's excited expressions. Zhao Xun shook his head secretly, they are all a group of militants, this can't be blamed on him, except for the captains of the Tiger who are all from the Shunzhou Army, the captains of the other four capitals are all people from Zhao Xun's personal guard battalion, and even some sentinels.

The captain and team rate are also mostly good hands inserted by the pro-guard battalion in the name of reorganization. They are never afraid of war.

"I have good news for you, the Huolin Army in the north, and the Qingyang Army in the south have joined forces with us this time, and this battle will annihilate the Black Snake Army in one fell swoop." Zhao Xun said with a smile.

After saying this news, all the people defended their worries, and the three armies came out together, not to mention the Black Snake Army, even the Khitans in the north also had to consider whether they could withstand the wrath of the three families. Suddenly, several lieutenants, more than a dozen lieutenants, and lieutenants all shouted excitedly.

"Prepare the armies, then march and march westward! The first battalion of the first capital stayed in Dingbei County. Xiao Hai, give me a firm look at Dingbei County, don't make a fork, tie the county order to govern this place, you are a great hero! The recruits who are being trained here will be replenished to help you defend the area. But you don't have to worry, there are 4,000 cavalry from the north of the Fire Lin Army, ready to support you. In short, a qiē is careful. "As for the four thousand Shunzhou soldiers in the north, they agreed to go west, echoing Zhao Xunyao.

"Don't worry, my subordinates must be optimistic about Dingbei County, the city is in the people, and the city is lost!" Although he couldn't go west with the army, as an old man in the guard camp around Zhao Xun, Xiao Hai naturally knew that as a soldier, he should obey orders.

Zhao Xun scolded: "What do you say? What does it mean to lose a city and kill people? In any case, the lives of the soldiers are more important than a city. If the city is lost, we can still get it back, but if we lose our lives, it will really be gone. Besides, there won't be any situation here, just be careful, don't let some ruffians harass the people, remember, in troubled times, use heavy punishment, and deal with those who dare to make trouble. ”

Xiao Hai hurriedly responded, but he was still very moved by Zhao Xun's behavior of loving nurses. Now the generals and officers, although they care about the life and death of the soldiers, they are all different, which is also the reason why several people in the Huolin Army support them.

After the target was lowered, it did not stop, according to the plan, the northernmost part, the four thousand Huolin Army cavalry directly attacked the junction of the Black Snake Army and the Khitans, and it was also the northernmost point of Fuxian, the border town of Shunzhou Mansion and the Khitans, Zhenbei Fort! The north fort of this town is a castle in the north of the territory built by the Yan Kingdom in the past, which is not big, but it is unusually strong, and it is the guardian of the border fortress at the northern end. However, after the invasion of the Yan Army, it was occupied by the Black Snake Army, and then it became a place of trading between the north and the south, which was actually the place where the Black Snake Army and the Khitans traded.

The cavalry of the Huolin Army were all under the banner of the Northern Navy, and after that, the Shunzhou Army followed closely behind, and wherever they went, the towns they encountered were first captured by the "Northern Navy", killing the Black Snake Army, and then accepted by the Shunzhou Army. As for the seizure, in addition to supplementing food, war horses, and weapons, all of them were left to the Shunzhou army, and even some big families with a bad reputation were also looted, and of course, the charges eventually fell on the head of the Northern Navy.

In the middle, Zhao Xun led 6,000 troops to Fuxian, and the people of the towns and villages had already been launched by Zhao Xun's secret agents. In Fuxian, the Black Snake Army was stationed in the front and rear armies with a total of 10,000 people, plus some drenched squads of horse thieves and mountain bandits, adding up to 13,000 people, so each township is a large group of enemy troops, if it is attacked head-on, it will naturally be captured, but it will also suffer a lot of losses. Zhao Xun used the banner of the right army to eliminate the vigilance of the Black Snake Army, and with the assistance of the people of various towns and towns, he had already killed Fuxian on the third day, and as for the towns and towns in the north and south, they fell into the hands of the Shunzhou army.

In the two-day battle, the 6,000 Shunzhou army now has 8,000 people, not that there are no deaths, but some black snake soldiers with good conduct and some ordinary people have been incorporated into the Shunzhou army. In this battle, nearly 1,000 people were killed or unable to participate in the battle. It can also be regarded as letting the Shunzhou army really experience the war. The southern towns of Fu County were actually made by the 4,000 soldiers of the Qingyang Army, and now, after handing over these places to the Shunzhou Army, they rushed to the south of Changling County, the last county of the Black Snake Army.

Of the 13,000 Black Snake Army, the 5,000 people who went out and were annihilated by the Shunzhou Army successively, there are only 8,000 people left, of which 3,000 are located in various towns and villages on the west side. At this moment, the 5,000 Black Snake Army occupies the county seat of Fuxian, and the 8,000 Shunzhou Army gathers under Xicheng! A siege battle is about to begin, and if Fuxian is broken, the Black Snake Army will basically fall to the end, and there will be no chance to turn over.
