Soon, the guards of all parties gathered in the big tent, including Wang Yuting, Zhang Changjian, Zhang Changyu, Hong Liang and other new officials and the personal guards of the Assassin's Mansion;

Ji Wenyuan, Sun Mengxuan, Rang Yongzhi and other old official forces in Hanyuan County;

Yun Tianjia, Gong Luoluo, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Dinghe and other parts under the command of the lord of the shield king's mansion He Xiaoduo;

Ma Zhenyang, Zen Master Withered Leaves, Li Siyun, the head of Fuhuo Dao, and other people in the rivers and lakes.

Among the four groups of people, Wang Yuting has the highest official rank, and Yun Tianjia has the most prestige in martial arts, and the two of them pushed each other to the position of chief.

Wang Yuting arched his hand and said: "Lord Yun turned the tide and helped the building to fall, which not only saved my Wang's life, but also saved the officials and people of Hecheng in Hanyuan County, and even more destroyed the thieves, dealt a heavy blow to the cult, and dealt a blow to the arrogance of the bandits' rebellion. Both the officials and the people are grateful for your kindness, and all military and political affairs in Hanyuan County in the future should naturally be based on you. ”

The reason why he is so polite is, of course, not because he is high-spirited, has no intention of fame, and is weak in power, but considering that Yun Tianjia is a close confidant of the county lord He Xiaoduo, and his soul cultivation is far better than his own, and because of the popularity accumulated in the war a few days ago, if he does not give up, he will not be able to convince the public.

But at the same time, he also suffered from gains and losses in his heart, worried that Yun Tianjia would push the boat down the river and really seize his power, so it was in vain that he resolutely transferred from Huazhou Governor Shi to Hanyuan County as a county guard.

Isn't it just to take a family and take the risk to perform in such a place just to get promoted and make a fortune?

Yun Tianjia Zhengse said: "I am the captain of the regular army appointed by the county lord, and my duty is to recruit and surrender soldiers, train the new army, and protect the territory and the people." Just because the timing was coincidental, he happened to encounter a cult that came to attack the city, so he exerted a lot of strength, how could he claim to be a meritorious person? Besides, if his name is not correct and his words are not good, how dare Lord Wang disrupt the order of respect and humility when he is appointed by the imperial court, the chief officer of the first county of Zhengwupin, and the captain of the military academy in our district? Lord Wang must not push back, lest the soldiers be suspicious and suspicious. ”

Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Dinghe knew Yun Tianjia's intentions, and persuaded in unison: "Lord Wang, sit on the throne, let's discuss business!" Ji Wenyuan, Rang Yongzhi, and Sun Mengxuan hurriedly echoed.

Wang Yuting reluctantly said: "Since this is the case, I have no choice but to stay in this position temporarily." In the future, we will vow to work with everyone with one heart and one mind, do our best, and rebuild Hanyuan County!"

The main seat was established, and the others also found their own places to sit, and Ma Zhenyang accompanied him in the last position.

Let Yongzhi take the lead and say: "At present, we have three major events.

The first is the post-war liquidation, including the distribution and disposal of captured soul crystals, weapons, and skin and bones, the disposal and arrangement of prisoners, the registration and compensation of casualties, and the report to the imperial court.

the second is to determine whether to return to Hanyuan County, when to return, and whether the immortal tomb should be closed after going back;

The third is to start the reconstruction of Hanyuan County. For example, burying corpses, cleaning up garbage, repairing houses, opening offices, rectifying city defenses, training troops, connecting townships and counties, collecting grain and grass, appeasing displaced people, strengthening public security, and so on, all need people in charge. ”

Wang Yuting nodded and said: "Let the principal have rich experience, and you still need to take the lead in taking care of civil affairs and taxation matters." The city's prevention and security depends on Lord Ji Wenyuan. The construction of houses and burial and cleaning can be jointly supervised by Director Sun and Ma Yuanwai. In this battle of the city's defense, the horsemen were dedicated to the public, diligent and diligent, and made great contributions, and within five years, they were specially allowed to exempt all taxes in return. As for the capture and capture, of course, they were all handed over to Lord Yun. ”

Ma Zhenyang said gratefully: "The small people don't dare to take credit for their meager efforts. In order to thank the Lord for his kindness, I am willing to dedicate the Tubao as a temporary residence for the Yamen. ”

He knew that in the city of Hanyuan County, except for the earthen fort, there were not a few intact houses. Even if you can barely find it, most of them are in the corners of the corner. The yamen did not have a suitable place to work, so how could he really take care of himself and sleep peacefully in the earthen fort? So he simply pushed the boat down the river and tried to take the initiative.

His business has done very well, and Wang Yuting has exempted him from taxes for five years, and he has long made a steady profit. Just a dirt fort, you don't have to take it to heart.

Wang Yuting said with a smile: "The horse crew is really a wonderful person! But this official will not take advantage of you." When you go back, the government will be rebuilt, and the earthen fort will still be returned to you. It's just that in a short period of time, I really need to bother with a thing or two. ”

Ma Zhenyang was overjoyed.

Yun Tianjia said: "Although the cult suffered a defeat and returned home, it was not annihilated by us. Whether they will retaliate again remains to be seen. Besides, banditry is rampant throughout the country, and I don't know when it will affect us. The earthen fort and the immortal tomb are protected by formations, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the tunnels can be re-dug to connect the two places, thinking that the last barrier of Hanyuan County, no matter whether the enemy comes or not, how many come, we are enough to hold on and wait for help. ”

Wang Yuting praised: "This method is very good. The county town of Hanyuan is too big, and it needs to be defended on all sides, and we have few people, so it is inevitable that there will be some omissions. But with the hole cards of the earth fort and the tomb of the immortals, we can be worry-free and undefeated. ”

Rang Yongzhi asked, "Then the county guard has agreed to return to Hanyuan County?"

"Of course, if we don't go back, we can't stay in the mountains for the rest of our lives. Wang Yuting said: "When the Seven Turns of the Immortal Tomb is repaired, we will set off in batches to go back." ”

Yun Tianjia suddenly got up and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, there is a reluctant request below, and please consider it." ”

Wang Yuting hurriedly got up and saluted back, and said, "Lord Yun has something to say, but please speak up." ”

Yun Tianjia said loudly: "I was ordered by the county lord to come to Hanyuan County to collect and surrender soldiers. But the co-optation and surrender of soldiers is only in name, and my real mission is to form an elite force for the imperial court, called the 'Tianjia Army'. If you only rely on the existing soldiers and prisoners, I am afraid that it will be difficult to form an army, and if you recruit from the people, you will not be able to find many good hands. So I thought about it again and again, so I had to ask Lord Wang for someone. ”

Wang Yuting pondered for a long time and asked, "The Tianjia Army is subordinate to the Shield King's Mansion, so it probably won't be stationed in Hanyuan County all the time in the future, right?"

Yun Tianjia smiled and didn't answer.

Wang Yuting left his seat with his hands in his hands and paced slowly in the tent.

Yun Tianjia asked him for someone, not just a matter of asking for someone, but also a question of standing in line.

He Xiaoduo sent Yun Tianjia to Hanyuan County, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the reorganization and surrender of pawns was just a cover-up, and the actual purpose was, of course, to extend its tentacles beyond the six western states under the jurisdiction of the Dunwang Mansion, and take advantage of the national war to expand his influence in the army, and lay a foreshadowing for the future struggle for the crown.

And who can pose a threat to the county lord He Xiaoduo's successor?

Today's emperor He Qianliu has a total of five younger brothers, in addition to the shield king He Baichuan, there are Xuanwang He Zhanxi, Ning Wang He Douyuan, Linhai Wang He Xiuqin, Nanyang Wang He Fugeng.

Linhai Wang He Xiuqin and Nanyang Wang He are not cultivators, nor do they participate in national military and political affairs, and they are honest and honest as rich and noble princes who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains, and there are a lot of children and grandchildren under them, but unfortunately none of them have become a tool. Some time ago, the king of Nanyang even lost his fiefdom, and was placed under house arrest by the traitors of the Five Elements Sect, which greatly lost the royal face.

Ning Wang He Douyuan's fief was in Ningzhou, where bandits were rampant, and the people were restless, so he did not want to rebel, but he fled with his family to Dasanguan for the first time, in order to get the protection of the southern border guards.

Princes like King Linhai, King Nanyang, and King Ning naturally cannot compete for the position of lord of the country.
