The relationship between the generals and officials of the Liang Department and Bianzhou, as well as the good waterway transportation, coupled with intentional or unintentional smear propaganda, made the image of the Shatuo people in Bianliang City become like the Hu people in the Five Hu Chaos again, which made the richest group in Bianliang City begin to move eastward early, and then Xuzhou targeted the groups of craftsmen and merchants, and even ordinary people, as long as they were willing to come to Xuzhou, Xuzhou was equally welcome.

Years of war and famine have made the three prefectures of Yanyun and Yi mostly wasteland, as long as they can provide them with the necessary food and daily necessities to survive the famine, they can soon become obedient people under Jiang Feng's rule.

After the Battle of Guancheng, not only did the number of people go east on the waterway increase dramatically, but even some people who could not afford to rent a boat began to flee eastward by land, and most of these people were ordinary people, while the merchant gentry began to flee through the waterway.

In this case, Jiang Feng also knew that he could not hide it from the Shatuo people, I am afraid that the Shatuo people would soon wake up and launch the final blow to the Zhongmu defenders, and once the Zhongmu defense line collapsed, Jiang Feng did not think that Bianliang could still organize an effective defense, and when the time came, maybe as soon as the Shatuo iron cavalry arrived, the gate of Bianliang City would be opened.

What Xuzhou could do was to use these short days and ten days to organize as many gentry, merchants, craftsmen and citizens as possible to evacuate eastward.

This plan was named by Jiang Feng as the Bianjing Evacuation Plan, for which Wuwentang and the Political Affairs Department sent dozens of people to participate in this plan, and many officials of the Great Liang in Bianjing City also turned into appointed officials in Xuzhou, actively cooperating with Xuzhou's actions.

It is precisely because of this that this plan was able to achieve such an effect, and in just over a dozen days, at least 80,000 people were evacuated to the territory of the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion through three waterways.

At the same time, there have been a large number of scholars and people who fled with their families on the official road from Bianzhou to Songzhou, especially on the official road from Bianzhou to Chenliu, and the same is true on the official road from Bianzhou to the east to Caozhou.

Although Jiang Feng had already estimated that with the entry of the Shatuo people into the Central Plains, the situation of the people in the Bianluo area moving south and east would definitely appear, but he still underestimated Wuwentang's ability to create panic in Bianliang City.

Because of this, but after Zhu Mao sent flying horses to report that a large number of soldiers had fled from Bianzhou in Caozhou, Jiang Feng did not hesitate to agree to the Tianping Army to enter Caozhou, and asked the Magic Materials Official Academy to quickly cooperate with the Tianping Army to strengthen the defense of Caozhou Prefecture and the county seat of Yiju County in the west after controlling the entire Caozhou, and at the same time mobilized the Caozhou gentry who had already been in contact with Xuzhou to begin to accept the Bianluo people who fled from the west.

However, it is clear that Caozhou cannot accommodate so many fugitives, and the best way is to move to Yunzhou and Yanzhou, which have lost a large number of people due to war and drought.

As long as Huainan's grain can be guaranteed and water conservancy facilities are vigorously built, Yunzhou, which has a large lake and marsh like Juyeze, is not short of water, and it is not a problem at all to absorb more ordinary people to reclaim the land, especially after the problem of lake bandits is completely solved, Yunzhou has become a fertile land to be developed under the control of the local government, and as long as there is a population, it can develop rapidly.

For example, Yuncheng, Juye, Shouzhang and other counties under the rule of Yunzhou, and even Yanzhou Rencheng, Pinglu and other counties close to Juyeze, are themselves fertile lands of Pingchuan, because in the past few years, the lake bandits have flourished, especially the lake bandits under the competition between the Chao family and the Ruan family began to attack from all sides, not only directly controlling the two counties of Juye and Yuncheng, but also even the neighboring Leize County in Puzhou and Pinglu County in Yanzhou were almost controlled by the lake bandits.

However, now that the Chao and Ruan families have been recruited, and the water bandit forces in the lake have been incorporated into the northern naval army under the Xuzhou Governor's Office, this hazard has completely disappeared, and the originally barren and fertile land in these counties has the conditions for reclaiming.

Many of these places are close to the fields of Juyeze and its surrounding abysses, irrigation is convenient, only a little rectification, can become familiar land, no banditry, within a year or two can become the land of fish and rice, but now many of the displaced people in Yanyun and Huainan have settled in Xuzhou and Huainan, although some have returned, but there are still a considerable number of people settled in the local area, and are no longer willing to return to their hometowns, so these places still need a large number of people to be enriched, now Bianzhou, Zhengzhou, The people of Huazhou and even Luoyang have become the best opportunity to move here.

Now the northern navy not only controls the line of Baigou and Heze, but also extends to the north to the line of Jishui, that is, it is responsible for the entire territory of Tianping Town, Ziqing Town, Pinglu Town, and even includes the naval army collected from the East China Sea Pirates, while the southern naval army is based on the Huaiyou naval army, responsible for the naval forces in the territory of Huaiyou Town and Wuning Town, and the northern and southern naval forces are directly commanded by the Privy Council and are not controlled by the town army.

"King of the county, a letter from Nighthawk, Princess Jin and Lord Guo have arrived in Teng County, and they are expected to return to Xuzhou tomorrow. Meng Chong next to him said softly.

Meng Chong was transferred back to Jiang Feng to serve as an attendant officer.

The position of attendant officer is newly created, mainly for Jiang Feng, similar to the position of assistant or secretary in later generations, although Meng Chong hopes to polish himself in the army, but he is powerless to resist Jiang Feng's call.

Jiang Feng also needed an attendant officer who was absolutely loyal to him, and Meng Chong and Yang Heng were both his options, and in the end he chose Meng Chong.

His consideration is to let Meng Chong be able to exercise beside him for a year or two, and then put it down, when the time comes, whether it is to the local or the army, Meng Chong, who has expanded his horizons, can have a greater future for development, and at that time, he can choose Yang Heng to replace Meng Chong, which can also give Yang Heng a chance to exercise.

Guo Tao and Li Jin were invited by Lu Qiming and Zhu Mao to go to Pinglu Town and Tianping Town to investigate, of course, this was Jiang Feng's invitation to Lu Qiming and Zhu Mao, and he needed to separate Guo Tao and his party in order to fight with Caizhou on the Songzhou side.

Guo Tao and his entourage, accompanied by Chen Wei and Cui Shang, and led by Guo Yue to defend them, set off by boat from Xuzhou through Surabaya, and traced back to Yizhou along the Yishui River, and then from Yizhou to Mizhou by land, where Lu Qiming was responsible for greeting them.

After the inspection in Mizhou, and then from Mizhou to Qingzhou by land, although Liu Yansi, as the governor of Ziqing Town, was not in Qingzhou, but the local officials in Qingzhou were there, so Guo Tao and his party would inspect Qingzhou and Zizhou, and then go to Qizhou to take a boat along the Jishui River through Jezhou to Yunzhou, where Zhu Mao was responsible for greeting, and finally returned to Xuzhou from Yanzhou.

It was not a short journey, but since more than half of the journey was by water, it was still bearable for the mission.

More importantly, this is an excellent opportunity for Guo Tao and his entourage to specifically investigate Jiang Feng's specific control over the five towns under his command.

The situation of Wuning Town and Huaiyou Town does not need to be investigated, the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion and Wuning Town are located in Xuzhou, there is no doubt that Huaiyou is the territory of Jiang Feng's beginnings, so there is no need to worry.

However, these three towns in the north, Pinglu, Ziqing and Tianping, Pinglu and Ziqing are new, and Tianping is in charge of Zhu Mao, who has been wandering outside.

"Well, I see. Jiang Feng took a breath, "It's time to come back, Da Lang, have you read this information?"

"Look, I didn't expect Caizhou's determination to fight for Songzhou so great, Yuan Huaiqing is old and strong, Yuan Wuwei and Yuan Wuxing have a proper strategy, and General Liu and General Chai are not in a hurry. ”

Meng Chong had already read the information sent back, and his task as an attendant officer was to first review the government and military news from all aspects for the county king, and then screen out the most urgent and important content to submit to the county king, and at the same time, he also had to evaluate and predict the content of these intelligence, and when Jiang Feng asked in time, he had to put forward his own views.

In a sense, his identity is more like an assistant to Jiang Feng as Chen Wei, Cui Shang and Wang Miao, and it is more mainly to connect with the staff of the Privy Council and the cardinal room of the Political Affairs Department.

"Well, Songzhou is too important to Caizhou, so they are unwilling to give it up, but Songzhou is as important to us as possible, but now the situation on the Bianliang side is probably clear soon, and we need to stop fighting with Caizhou and coordinate the same countermeasures. Jiang Feng nodded.

"I'm afraid that General Liu and General Wang are not willing to accept this result. Meng Chong hesitated and said: "The Wuning army has arrived at the front line of Songcheng and Yucheng, and our troops are once again in a state of overwhelming the other party, and the subordinates think that General Liu and General Wang can start a war and completely expel the Caizhou army from Songcheng, forming a situation where each now occupies half of Songzhou, which is conducive to the next negotiation." ”

"Even if we can win the battle and take Song City, does Da Lang think the Yuan family will accept this status quo?" Jiang Feng asked rhetorically.

"No, Song Cheng is too important, the Yuan family will definitely not give up, but they can exchange it for other places. Meng Chong has also been mentally prepared, "Bozhou and Yingzhou can be there, Yongcheng, Linlian, Shansang, Yingshang, Xia Cai, and even the city father." ”

"Your appetite is not small, the price of a Song City is so high?" Jiang Feng laughed.

"The king of the county, it's different, Songcheng chokes the canal, and it is also the most important wharf on the canal, and the Yuan family controls Songcheng, which can connect Xiangyi, Ningling and Songcheng into a county, even if we control the west and north of Songzhou, but the east and south of Songzhou can basically become independent states, which can well shade Chenzhou and Bozhou in the south, which is of great value. Meng Chong also knew that Jiang Feng was testing him, and he talked eloquently.
