Pei Heng, who was in Xihua City, was so busy that he had little time to pay attention to the outside world.

And with the capture of Xihua City, the entire Great Jin Dynasty, as well as the entire continent, were shocked.

As expected, a West Birch City has opened a new era.

It has been more than 20 years since I arrived in Linjing from Shengjing. And it has been nearly 50 years since the war began in the north, and since the north began to lose cities.

In the past fifty years, the Great Jin Dynasty finally stopped being beaten passively, and the Great Jin Dynasty finally regained a city.

After all, the Pei family came out with a prince who could lead troops to fight, and he was finally able to take the people of the Great Jin Dynasty to take back his homeland and the people.

There is no doubt that Pei Heng is loved by the people of Xihua City. Although there are also some people who have an in-law relationship with the Ta people who hate him.

But most people still love him.

Because Pei Heng has already started to ask people to redistribute the fields that belonged to the people in the past.

The slaves who used to belong to those noble lords are all free. The entire city no longer exists to serve the Ta people, and they have regained everything they have.

Pei Heng has re-armed, after all, he has to guard against the counterattack of the Ta people.

Although the soldiers and horses of Xihua City have been scattered, it is conceivable that it is impossible for the Ta people not to fight back.

Losing a city may not be too much of a deal. But if it is of great significance to the Great Jin, it is the same for the Ta clan.

This means that they will no longer be able to completely trample Dajin under their feet.

Although in the past 20 years, they have already known that Dajin is quite hard-boned.

But it has never been like today, and it has been beaten back. The nose and face were swollen after being beaten.

Because of the containment of Weinan and Weibei, the Ta people in Licheng couldn't make a move.

In the past, it may have been okay, but now, the Ta people in Licheng are also worried about whether the soldiers and horses of Weinan and Weibei will attack the city.

How important Licheng was to the Great Jin Dynasty in the past, it is just as important to the Ta people now.

After all, Licheng has passed, and it is Shengjing City.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Ta people in Licheng to help Xihua City.

And the one to guard against is Peicheng or Lingdu.

After twenty years, Xihua City finally reopened its doors to the Great Jin in the rear.

On the day when they could pass freely with the Great Jin, how many people in Xihua City cried.

Because of the war, some people died and some fled. But because of the blockade of the Ta people, they can't find it, they can't find it.

Now that he has finally led the exchanges, it didn't take long for people from Zuozhou and nearby towns to rush to Xihua City to recognize their relatives.

There were so many gray-haired people hugging and crying. One is more than 20 years, how many 20 years does a person have in a lifetime?

For the ancients, twenty years is half a lifetime.

At this time, Ning Zhi was watching the quartermaster allocate grain and grass.

We all know that the situation in Xihua City, which is ruled by the Ta people, will not be good, in fact, it is really bad.

There was basically not much surplus food in the city, and although the mansions of the nobles were raided, the gold, silver and jewels could not be exchanged for food for a while. Therefore, it is necessary to send food over quickly.

After all, the 100,000 people Pei Heng brought with him were to eat.

And the chaos in the city will not be able to be cured for a while. The original officials were all from the Ta tribe, and they had been disposed of, and for the time being, the people in Pei Heng's army governed the place.

And Yu Chao, the garrison general who has been decided, is a veteran in his forties, who originally served in Cangwuzhou, and this time he also brought troops over. Pei Heng values him and is ready to ask him to manage Xihua City.

And the post of Taishou is a person recommended by the DPRK, named Huang Zhiwen. This person is one of the people who used to be Ning Zeli.

Pei Heng did not refuse, because this Lord Huang is very good at governing the place.

Therefore, he was transferred from Mingzhou.

Among the other officials below, there are two of his own people arranged by Ning Zhi. The rest were transferred from elsewhere.

Of course, Ning Zhi's two own people were also transferred.

It will take time before King Chen's order is issued, and it will take time for the officials to take office. So now in Xihua City, it can only be Pei Heng in charge.

The King of Song, who was separated by a river, was originally waiting for Xihuacheng to make a move when the war between Xihuacheng and the Zuozhou army was deadlocked.

But he didn't have a chance at all. First, there were still people in Zuozhou to restrain him, and second, Pei Heng moved too fast.

By the time he reacted, West Birch City had already changed hands.

Ning Zhi went to West Birch City with the quartermaster.

She had never set foot on this land. The first time I came, I was stabbed in the desolation and poverty here.

It's all fertile land, but no one has planted it.

It's already July and a half, and a lot of grain can be harvested, but the vast areas of fertile fields in Xihua City are only barren weeds.

There are lonely graves everywhere on the roadside, unruly and messy.

And the lonely grave is still good, and in the ravine, you can still see white bones......

Even Ning Zhi saw a skull, a skull eroded by wind and rain, white and dazzling. Mixed with the tattered stones on one side. There are all kinds of signs that the people here are so worthless as human life.

The Ta people are good at grazing, and the dead people are dead, and the ones who ran away are gone, but the cattle and sheep are still there.

What should have been a thousand miles of fertile wilderness turned out to be a group of sheep that no one cared about. Spread out everywhere and graze everywhere.

Occasionally, one or two ragged civilians, seeing the convoy from afar, knelt down first.

The posture is humble, and the whole body trembles.

Ning Zhi was speechless. She had heard that the Ta people met the Dajin people on the road, and sometimes they shot them directly with bows and arrows.

Or whip it, anyway, they won't even meet it.

Where they existed, without their consent, no Dajin people could set foot in.

"Call those two men." After a long time, Ning Zhi pointed at people.

Ning Zhi told the convoy carrying grain to keep going, and she and her guards stopped for a while.

Those two people, one old and one young, looked like father and son.

One has gray hair and is very thin, and the other looks younger, but he is just as thin.

Both of them were terrified, but they were puzzled, after all, the Ta people didn't dress like this.

But when they suddenly saw a group of soldiers and horses, they were also afraid.

"Don't be afraid, you two, we are from the Great Jin, why are you here?" Li Zhi asked in a lower voice.

The father and son knelt down without saying a word, and the old man replied with a trembling voice: "Back to the master, we are free-range, yes...... It's the sheep of Lord Dam's family......"

"What Lord Dam? Isn't it the Ta dog! A young guard snorted.

The old man lowered his head, trembling with fright, where did he dare to answer?

If you scold Master Dam, you will die.

"Okay, how many days have you been herding this sheep? Have you ever been back? Ning Zhi asked.

The old man didn't dare to raise his head, but trembled: "Go back to ...... Go back to the girl, go back, Dam...... Lord Dam, they're not in town......"
