The next day, the thieves under the city launched a fierce attack on the city, which exhausted the officers and soldiers. Most of the officers and soldiers thought that the thieves were going to smash the officers and soldiers under the city, but the offensive continued until the evening, and the city found that most of the thieves were retreating, except for some elite soldiers.

It seems that the thieves' previous assault had exhausted the defenders and drained their spirits, apparently planning for a retreat.

To see if an army is well-trained, it is very clear that it is a ** when it retreats. Most of the thieves were busy packing up pots and pans, eager to pack their belongings home, anxious about their wives and children, and when they retreated, the smoke and dust were billowing and flying, and it was obvious that the organization and discipline were quite chaotic.

Many of the generals at the head of the city were people who knew the soldiers, and they asked Li Chongjiu to pursue.

Li Chongjiu observed for a while, and also knew that if he pursued at this time, there should be a lot of gains, and a big victory was impossible, but a small victory was still possible. However, Li Chongjiu watched it for a while, but decided to give up the pursuit. Reason: If Wang Xuba can't be eliminated, even if it is a small victory, it doesn't mean much.

Capture? Jokes, robbing a group of thieves who are no different from calling Hanako, what can be captured.

Captive? Useless, killed? Li Chongjiu asked himself if he was Fan Zigai, Wang Shichong, who killed a group of ignorant grass people to dye his official hat red. The officials forced the people to rebel, and the court didn't need to say much, but among the thieves and chaotic people, such as Wang Suba and Li Shanfei, they took advantage of the situation with their own ambitions, and it was these ordinary people who were used. As long as the head of the thief is not destroyed, it is useless to kill more thieves. When King Li Chuang was in decline, there were only eighteen riders around him, but a few years later, he waved a million troops into Beijing City and forced Chongzhen to death.

Put? That's useless work. In the end, the thieves were captured and co-opted, and with the current grain and grass in Feihu County, it is still a question whether it can not support the winter, and the surplus population will only aggravate the famine. What's more, there are already five or six hundred thieves in the county town.

However, the thieves retreated, and the county was settled. More than 3,000 soldiers and civilians in the city were overjoyed and began to celebrate the city's protection from thieves.

A few days later, the villages near the county seat also heard that the thieves near the county town had retreated, and they also came out of the mountains one after another, returned to their hometowns to live in peace, packed up their homes and lived a small life again. The original deserted countryside has the sound of chickens and dogs hearing each other again, and the curling cooking smoke has also risen again, no longer the appearance of being uninhabited for hundreds of miles in the past.

However, Li Chongjiu found that the whole county did not have much enthusiasm for fighting off the thieves and saving Feihu County. According to the usual practice, Li Chongjiu can also be regarded as a new official, at this time, the Hejun family, Haoqiang should come to visit the door to inform one or two, first mix a familiar face, and the door is clear.

When one of the parents sees these families, they are strong and strong, and they can be regarded as a place to be used in the future, and they can also expand additional income by the way. But after the thieves repelled him, Li Chongjiu sat in the hall for a few days, not to mention the family, Haoqiang, and there was not even a squire who visited him.

In this way, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but wonder, although he was a traverser, he really didn't understand local government affairs, so he immediately asked someone to ask. At present, Feihu County, the county is dying in battle, the county lieutenant is violently ill, the county is the county, the lord is thin, and Hu Cao was cut down by himself again.

So among the counties, the only one who can speak the most is Xicao. Xicao is also Gong Cao, the head of the six Caos in the county, ranking above the five Caos such as Jin, Hu, Bing, Law, and Shi, and is qualified to counsel county affairs. Li Chongjiu asked Xi Cao about this matter at the moment, whether it was because he cut down the whole family, so that the family and the wealthy family in this county and county misunderstood the personality of Li Mou.

Xi Cao hurriedly replied at the moment, Hou Ye misunderstood, the reason why the family and Haoqiang resisted coming to the county was not because of this.

It turned out that in February this year, Yang Guang listened to Pei Lian's words and ordered the county and county to build cities, and all the people moved into the county seat nearby. The purpose of this move is to implement the policy of clearing the wilderness in response to the increasingly rampant banditry, so that thieves like Wang Xuba and Wei Dao'er have no grain and rice to rob, and no strong men to pull.

Li Chongjiu heard the secret that this was really a chaotic fate, giving up the vast countryside, and moving the people to towns and towns, among the dock forts, Yang Guang This is to be implemented in advance, is my Greater China 100% urbanized? If the countryside is deserted, then how many fields can be given near the county town to feed the tens of millions of people of the Great Sui. You must know that after liberation, China is also two peasants to feed one urban population.

Yang Guang's move not only failed to fundamentally solve the cause of the civil unrest at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but instead of dredging and guiding, it was equivalent to blindly blocking water and building dams during floods, rather than dredging and guiding. Such a great Sui is really not far from death.

This is also the reason why those families who live outside the city, Haoqiang, don't come to visit Li Chongjiu, they are now fighting against the imperial decree, if they look for Li Chongjiu now, wouldn't they be throwing themselves into the net.

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu had no intention of using these powerful families to ask for guilt, which would only provoke a popular uprising, not to mention that Yang Guang's decree was also extremely bad. At that moment, Li Chongjiu decided to use his power to write a document at the city gate to postpone the move of the people into the city.

After posting the notice, Li Chongjiu still didn't see anyone, and he didn't care about any condescension at the moment, he took Xicao with him at the moment, and prepared to go to several nearby clans to visit him one by one.

Li Chongjiu didn't know about this move, but it made Xicao and other county officials feel like the sun was rising from the east. According to the rules of ancient officialdom, the herdsmen of one county and one county are located within the four walls and three gates of the boxy yamen.

The reason for this is that the higher the official, the more the people feel mysterious and unable to see the truth and reality. In this way, the foolish people will be feared and will not dare to do anything wrong. But Li Chongjiu is unusual, and he goes to the countryside to step on the mud like a county official, which is not what a county government does. At present, Xicao is born up and down Li Chongjiu really feels like a bun from a poor family, and he doesn't understand the rules of officialdom, so he is shaking his head at the moment.

The next day, Li Chongjiu traveled in a light car, it was the middle of winter, the weather was cold, the clouds were dense, and the journey was not more than a few miles, it was already a cold wind, and the snow was flying in the air. Xi Cao and the others all tightened their robes and persuaded Li Chongjiu to return to the county seat, but after being angry, they didn't dare to speak at the moment.

In the cold wind, Li Chongjiu still rode his horse forward. You must know that the place where the county seat is based is only a few miles in circle, and compared with the entire Flying Fox County, it is just a slap in the face. If you dwell in a high court, you will be easily deceived by the officials. Now he wants to go to the countryside in person, that is, to listen to the local people's opinions.
