Back at the county office, Wang Yan washed up, and immediately sent someone to invite Huang Zhong, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia to the study to discuss matters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Yan asked, "Hansheng, how is the battle going this time?" ”

Huang Zhong had the joy of victory on his face, and said loudly: "Back to the lord, this time I covered up the pirates, not a single cavalry was damaged, and the infantry killed eighteen people. In this engagement, our losses were minimal. However, at least nearly 2,000 pirates were killed, but most of their casualties were trampled to death by escaping. There are nearly a thousand captured pirates, but there are not many who can adapt them. ”

Wang Yan nodded and said, "No matter how many people there are, you must collect the captured pirates as soon as possible to make up for the losses of the soldiers." ”

Huang Zhongdao: "The lord can rest assured"

Wang Yan also said: "The matter of conscription is still to be carried out, continue to conscript, and enrich the army. ”

"No"

Huang Zhong clenched his fists, and the smile on his face was even worse.

With the defeat of the pirates, there will be no more obstacles to conscription.

Guo Jia took over and said, "This time to defeat the pirates, it is indeed a godsend, allowing the Lord to initially establish prestige in Huang County. After this war, there must be a lot of people in Huangxian County who are grateful to the adults, but this gratitude is very weak, and the trust of the people is not enough, and it still needs to be consolidated and strengthened. I have three suggestions for this

Wang Yan said: "Please say it in filial piety"

Guo Jia's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "First, please ask the lord to immediately announce the information that the bandits are about to be suppressed. The time to suppress the bandits is naturally arranged by General Huang, and it is not necessary to attack according to the previous time, it is okay to slow it down, but it must be implemented, so that the people can believe that the lord really wants to get rid of the bandits. Then, he called on the people of Huang County to expose the hiding places of the bandits in Huang County, so that the people's trust in the lord will rise to a higher level, and the foundation will be more stable. ”

"Second, about Tai Shici. I asked the people of Huang County and found that he had a high prestige in Huang County. Therefore, please ask the lord to personally recruit Tai Shici. As long as Tai Shici is willing to be loyal, things in Huangxian will be more convenient. ”

"Third, let Guan Hai lead a team of soldiers to practice and patrol in the city every day. The first is to deter Xiaoxiao, and the second is to let the people know more about the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under the command of adults. ”

After finishing speaking, the serious smile on Guo Jia's face disappeared, and he resumed his playful demeanor, and said with a smile: "In this way, the stability of Huangxian County can be expected to congratulate the adults in advance." ”

Wang Yan pondered it carefully and couldn't help but nod his head in praise.

Guo Jia's arrangement is simple and effective.

Immediately, Wang Yan instructed: "Han Sheng, are all the strategies of Fengxiao clear?" ”

Huang Zhong said: "It's clear"

Wang Yan said: "If this is the case, then implement it as soon as possible." ”

Huang Zhong was also excited, and when he thought of being able to gain a foothold in Huang County, he was full of motivation and hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely do it." ”

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, let's go down and carry it out."

The people dispersed, each taking matters into account.

Now that I have just arrived in Donglai County, and Huang County is poor, many things have to start from scratch, and things are complicated, and it is difficult for everyone to have free time.

At noon the next day, Huang Zhong hurried to the county office.

In the study, the two guests and hosts are seated.

Huang Zhongyu reported: "My lord, I am very happy. Since yesterday's defeat of the pirates, many civilians have joined the army. As of noon today, as many as 1,200 young and strong people had applied. Recruit some more soldiers, and there will be no shortage of people in our army. The people of Huang County were extremely disgusted with the bandits, and when they learned that the lord was going to levy the bandits, they also informed the Huang County bandits of the situation. ”

Wang Yan said: "What is the situation of the bandits? ”

Huang Zhong's eyes became sharp, and he said, "At present, there are three largest bandits in Huang County. Among them, the biggest thief is named He Miao, located in the northwest of Huang County, the thief's nest is backed by mountains and water, it is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, there are more than 3,000 thieves under his command, quite elite. For us, though, there's nothing to fear. ”

"The second-ranked bandit is named Lin Hua, and there are about 2,000 bandits under his command, in the east of Huang County."

"The third-ranked bandit is named You Xian, and the bandits under his command are close to two thousand, and he is the weakest person, entrenched in the south of Huang County."

Huang Zhong said: "Among the three people, You Xian and Lin Hua have a close relationship and join forces to fight against He Miao. At present, it is a three-legged stand, if you attack one by one, consume time, the last general will suggest attacking He Miao, killing chickens and monkeys, and then ordering the rest of the thieves to surrender, although the thieves who do not surrender seem to be many, but they are vulnerable. ”

Wang Yan nodded and said, "When do you plan to set out?" ”

Huang Zhong said, "I will go out early tomorrow morning. ”

Wang Yan said: "Will this time be too rushed? ”

Huang Zhong looked extremely confident, shook his head and said, "A group of thieves and bandits are a rabble, don't worry. ”

Wang Yan smiled: "In this case, then add another fire." ”

Huang Zhong said: "Please make it public."

Wang Yan arranged: "If you want to go to war, you should start a war with great fanfare." You immediately draw up a notice, and then have someone post it at the gate of the city, informing all the people of the crusade against He Miao early tomorrow morning, so that the people will know about it. ”

"No"

Huang Zhong clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and retreated.

Under Huang Zhong's operation, in less than half an hour, the notice was posted at the Sifang City Gate.

The South Gate, the gate of the city.

One by one, the people gathered, all staring at the posters.

When the literate person read the contents of the notice, it caused a sensation.

"Wang Taishou defeated the pirates yesterday, and he will attack He Miao tomorrow, it's too powerful. is worthy of being a good official for the people, and this new official should be like this when he takes office with three fires

"It's a good thing, and my heart is also good-hearted, but I'm worried that Wang Taishou is in too much of a hurry. This He Miao, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp, Wang Taishou is a good official, our Huangxian County finally looked forward to such an official, if the attack on He Miao failed, the consequences would be troublesome. ”

"Wang Taishou is excellent in martial arts, and the soldiers under his command are strong in combat, we must believe in him."

"Yes, yes, we have to believe in Wang Taishou."

The people rushed to discuss, both excited and worried.

The news spread all over the sky and soon reached a cottage in the northwest of Huang County.

This cottage is backed by mountains and water.

The rear of the cottage, relying on a big mountain, the woods are dense, and the mountains are towering, so that the whole cottage has no worries. In front of the cottage is a pool of water, blue waves and oceans, as far as the eye can see. If you want to capture the cottage, you must first pass through the water.

This place is He Miao's lair.

It can be said that the reason why He Miao was able to become the number one thief in Huang County was that the geographical location of his cottage accounted for a large part of the reason.

Cottages, halls.

He Miao sat directly above, he was wearing a sky-blue robe, and his figure was slender, revealing an elegant bearing, without the ruggedness and unruliness of a bandit. It's just that He Miao's narrow eyes and thin lips give people a mean and spicy feeling.

In the hall, there stood a middle-aged man with a short figure.

The middle-aged man hunched his waist and reported: "The owner of the village, the newly appointed Taishou Wang Yan has posted a notice to attack the cottage tomorrow." ”

He Miao sneered twice and said, "A little doll, self-righteous." It's a pity that he doesn't understand that the pirates are a rabble and can't be compared to us. Let's go down and closely monitor the movements in Huangxian County. ”

"Yes"

The middle-aged man was ordered to bow down and retreat.

To the east of Huang County, on a mountain.

A piece of village gathered on the mountain is Lin Hua's lair.

In the hall, Lin Hua listened to his subordinates report the movements in Huangxian County. He learned the news that Wang Yan was about to send troops to attack He Miao, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, and couldn't help but say: "Over the years, He Miao has dominated Huang County, and no one has taken him down. Now, let Wang Yan weigh it. In addition, the snipe and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, which may also be an opportunity for the owner of the village. ”

For He Miao, he has a covetous heart.

It's just that Lin Hua couldn't find a chance, and Wang Yan's appearance broke the former peace.

To the south of Huang County, halfway up the mountain.

Cottages, halls.

After You Xian got the news in Huang County, he also took action immediately. You Xian's actions were the same as Lin Hua's, and they all intended to reap the benefits from it. However, after You Xian sat in the hall of the village and was silent for a long time, he got up and ordered: "Prepare the war horse and follow me to see Lin Hua." ”

Soon, You Xian rode out of Dazhai and ran towards the place where Lin Hua was.

You Xian is different from Lin Hua, his power is the weakest, at this time, it is natural to reach a unified front with Lin Hua, so as not to encounter emergencies and be difficult to resist.
