Zhang Xuan led the cavalry team slowly into the county seat of Linzi, the county street was full of tents, stretching for several miles, crowded with anxious crowds on both sides of the city gate, when Zhang Xuan rode into the city, there was an excited cheer all around.

For the military and civilians of Beihai, the arrival of the main general Zhang Xuan undoubtedly made everyone deeply excited, since he joined the Zhang Xutuo Flying Eagle Army, and successively pacified the bandits in Lu County, Gaomi County and Donglai County, in the hearts of the people of Qingzhou, he has already established a high prestige.

In the first battle against Zhang Jincheng, Zhang Xuan turned the tide and completely annihilated Zhang Jincheng of Qinghe County, which made him famous all over the world.

The people naturally have a shot in their hearts that although the imperial court appointed Pei Renji as the general guard of Qi County and the seven counties of Qingzhou, in the eyes of the people of Qingzhou, Zhang Xuan is the successor of Zhang Xutuo and the pillar of Qingzhou.

Now that Jaung Hyun appeared in front of them, how could they not be excited? How can you not cheer?

More than a dozen old men rushed to Zhang Xuan and knelt down and wept: "I implore General Zhang to beg our relatives!" ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly dismounted to help these old people, and the county commander Sun Jian whispered on the side: "They are all refugees who fled from Linyi County, Qi County, and their families have been driven to Qinghe County. ”

Zhang Xuan picked up the old people, comforted them a few words, and asked Sun Jian, "How many people have escaped from Qi County?" ”

"So far, there are a total of 14,750 people, mainly in Linyi and Zhu'a counties, and many refugees have fled from Zouping and Gaoyuan counties, accounting for at least 40 percent of the number."

"All refugees from Qinghe County?" Jang Hyun seemed to understand something.

Sun Jian nodded, "More than ninety percent of them are refugees who fled to Qi County from Qinghe County, and he no longer has a sense of security in Qi County, so they all fled to Beihai County." ”

Zhang Xuan and Wei Yunqi glanced at each other. The two of them thought of a question almost at the same time, if Qi County lost its sense of security, would the refugees from Qinghe County in Licheng County also migrate to Beihai County?

But there are so many things in front of him that he must first reassure the refugees before thinking about anything else.

．．．．．．

Looking at the excited faces, Zhang Xuan walked quickly onto a wooden platform and waved his hand to the thousands of people. There was a sudden silence all around.

"All the fathers and fellow villagers!"

Zhang Xuan said in a loud voice: "Last year, Zhang Jin said that he sent 3,000 troops to attack Beihai County, to attack our Linzi, we only have 500 troops, but it is these 500 troops that will annihilate all the 3,000 thief troops, no matter who it is, as long as they want to plunder Beihai County, they will definitely be hit head-on, as long as I Zhang Xuan is here, I will never let any rich wolf step into Beihai County!" ”

"Hooray!"

The surrounding people suddenly erupted in earth-shattering cheers. Countless people were so excited that they burst into tears and raised their arms and shouted.

Later, Wei Yunqi secretly smiled bitterly, although the general has won the hearts of the people, I am afraid that this cheer of shouting long live will be used by people with intentions to impeach Zhang Xuan.

Wei Yunqi couldn't say it clearly, so he had to follow Zhang Xuan into a tent.

This is a family of refugees who fled from Zhu'a County, a family of six, a pair of elderly people, a son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter. The youngest granddaughter was just over a year old and was held in her mother's arms.

Jang Hyun and several officials walked in and frightened the family. They recognized the county commander Sun Jian, and the old couple hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed, "Xiaomin see the county magistrate!" ”

Sun Jian hurriedly helped them up, and introduced them with a smile: "This is our General Zhang of Beihai County, you should all know it." ”

The old couple was suddenly surprised and delighted that Zhang Xuan actually came to visit them. At this time, the son of the old couple came in from outside, and he had just gone to the city gate to welcome Zhang Xuan's arrival, but he didn't expect General Zhang to come to his house, and he was so happy that he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Behind him there was another crowd of people, all of whom were neighbors.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand and smiled: "I'm coming to visit everyone, no need to be polite, folks, please take a seat." ”

Jaung Hyun sat down cross-legged, and more than a dozen people sat down in a circle embarrassedly.

"Listen to the accent, everyone should be from Qinghe County!"

Although separated by the Yellow River, the accent of Qinghe County is similar to that of Qi County and Beihai County, but after staying in Beihai County for a long time, Zhang Xuan can also hear the subtle differences between them.

Everyone laughed, "We are indeed from Gaotang County, Qinghe County, and we moved to Zhu'a County three years ago. ”

"How about the loss of Zhu'a County this time?" Jang Hyun asked.

An old man sighed, "Most of the people in the county town were forcibly driven back to Qinghe County, regardless of whether they were from Qinghe County or not, leaving only a little bit of the old and weak that they thought were useless, and then the army looted the whole county, and they robbed everything of value." ”

Another teenager next to him added: "We don't live in the county seat, but outside the city, but there are still soldiers who come to drive us away, so we have to flee from Zhu'a County." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded silently, it was estimated that Linyi County was similar, he pondered for a moment and asked, "What are your plans in the future?" ”

There was a sudden silence in the big tent, this is actually the most concerned question for everyone, but they don't know how to raise it, at this time, the owner of the big tent said cautiously: "General, can we stay in Beihai County?" ”

He spoke their minds on behalf of everyone.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem if you want to stay in Beihai County, but don't you want to go back to your hometown?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, and the old man sighed again: "Who doesn't want to go back to their hometown, but the war in their hometown is non-stop, and there is another General Wang who is even more ferocious than a bandit, who dares to go home?" We just want to live in peace and security, and now even Qi County is not safe, only in Beihai County can we find a little sense of security, and I implore the general to take us in! ”

"I beg the general to take us in!" Everyone knelt down and pleaded with Jang Hyun.

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Don't worry, everyone!" Beihai County has land for everyone to cultivate, even if Beihai County is full, there are Donglai County and Gaomi County, in short, it will definitely give everyone a bite to eat. ”

．．．．．．

Zhang Xuan went to visit a few more refugee families, and then returned to the county government, the resettlement of these refugees is also a headache, a large amount of food is needed, and even the spare army tents have been taken out, of course, living in tents is only a temporary transition, and food can also be transferred from the military rations sent from Liyang Cang, the key is the land, Linzi is already overcrowded, and it is impossible to stay in Linzi County.

"General!"

Wei Yunqi said slowly: "I have considered this problem, I can arrange for them to go to Shouguang County, I have been to Shouguang County to inspect before, the county town over there is relatively complete, and the houses can be lived in as long as they are slightly repaired, and Shouguang has the smallest population, only more than a thousand people, and at least twenty or thirty thousand people can be accepted." ”

Next to him, Sun Jian also said: "In fact, Qiancheng County and Bochang County are almost empty cities, and they can also be resettled." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, there are indeed many places that can be resettled, Duchang County, Beihai County, Yingqiu County, Xiami County, Linju County, etc., but he just needs to find a suitable county seat, he thought about it and said to Wei Yunqi: "Settle in Shouguang County first, if the population increases again, we will consider other counties." ”

"Will there be any more refugees fleeing?" Sun Jian asked worriedly.

"There should still be!"

Wei Yunqi said with a smile: "But it's not to flee, but to migrate, Wang Shichong scared the people of Qinghe County, Qi County is no longer safe, and the people of Qinghe County who live in Qi County will leave Qi County one after another." ”

Zhang Xuan said to Sun Jian: "Sun Xianjun will go and arrange the food supply for the refugees first!" Add a little bit to each family, and I'll send someone to bring in food to replenish it soon. ”

"Subordinates obey!" Sun Jian saluted and hurried away.

sent Sun Jian away, and only Zhang Xuan and Wei Yunqi were left in the inner hall, Zhang Xuan smiled at Wei Yunqi expectantly: "Don't you think this is an opportunity, sir?" ”

Wei Yunqi understood what Zhang Xuan meant, he brushed his beard and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed an opportunity, if it is handled well, Beihai County can increase the population by at least 100,000, which is quite beneficial to the recovery of Beihai County's vitality, but it can't be done too obviously, and it will not be good to arouse Pei Shuai's vigilance." ”

Zhang Xuan took a few steps with his hands in his hands, balancing the pros and cons of this matter in his heart, and after thinking about it for a moment, he turned back to Wei Yunqi and said, "I haven't told Mr. yet!" Pei Shuai did not return to Qi County, he went directly to Beijing to ask for guilt, and now Qi County is in charge of Jia Wuben and Qin Qiong. ”

Wei Yunqi suddenly realized this, he thought about it and smiled: "But the general still can't be too obvious." ”

"I know, I will use a hint language to tell the people of Qinghe County in Qi County that Beihai County is the safest place, and let them move to Beihai County, but I'm afraid they will have to turn against Wang Shichong."

Zhang Xuan is already mentally prepared, since Wang Shichong dares to cross the river to rob people and tear his face with everyone, then don't blame him Zhang Xuan for not being emotional. (To be continued......)
