Ning Ze took Ling Xiaofeng, collected 7,000 private soldiers of the Yang family, captured more than 100,000 stones of military rations, and countless gold and silver treasures.

Although the armor warehouse was bombed, there were thousands of weapons and armor.

The people in the city protested because the Yang family was suddenly surrounded by the government and everyone was arrested, demanding that the government release the Yang family who had accumulated virtue and done good deeds.

The people usually receive the favor of the Yang family, and many people even want to riot and rob people, but fortunately, Zhao Tan led the county soldiers to suppress the scene.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more difficult to control, Ning Ze returned to Xuantang County with the prisoners and the seized belongings, and displayed the weapons, armor, and military food and equipment hoarded by the Yang family in front of all the people. And let the people who have surrendered and confessed their sins expose what the Yang family did privately in front of all the people.

Don't look at the Yang family's appearance as kind and happy to help others, that is just to confuse the people and win people's hearts. In fact, there are many bad things done behind the scenes, just like those who were caught in the dungeon of Ling Xiaofeng, many innocent people have died.

At the same time, the Yang family used money to buy off the officials in the city, and did not do less to kill people and set fires to achieve their goals.

When the people of Xuantang County learned the truth, they were excited.

Feelings have been kept in the dark.

The Yang family was terminated, and all the officials in the city who had dealings with the Yang family and secretly worked for the Yang family were found out, including the Yang family's open and secret industries, all of which were dug deeply.

A vast underground force that has been cut off before it sprouts.

Yang Fu and other important figures were beheaded for the crime of rebellion, and all repeat offenders in the entire force were sentenced, and others who were bewitched and had less serious circumstances should be convicted as appropriate.

The storm subsided, and Xuantang County stabilized.

Ning Ze also visited the county town with the lowest popular opinion in Liangzhou to eradicate the cancer among them and ensure that the resistance forces or signs of existence were eliminated. At the same time, it reassured the people and issued a number of policies to benefit the people.

On the other side, Lou Qu rushed to Jiangzhou with 5,000 men and horses.

After a long journey to Huairou, Song Gao personally greeted him and led the people into the county seat.

When he came to the city, he arranged for everyone to rest first, and asked Lou Qu to talk alone.

"General Song!" the two sat down, and Lou Qu arched his hand and said, "I heard that you are in charge of Jiangzhou here?"

"Because of fate, I stayed here. Song Gao replied, "The last general would prefer to stay by Danyang Hou's side." ”

"Do you know who I am?"

"Hou Ye Feige has already said it!" Song Gao said with a smile, "You consider yourself the righteous son of Mrs. Mi, that is, the righteous son of Hou Ye." ”

"What kind of son? Lou Qu said.

Song Gaoxin said, it was really shameless, and replied with a smile: "Yes, yes! If it weren't for that, Master Hou would not have entrusted such a heavy task to Your Excellency." Langshan County is extremely important and is the foundation for the pacification of Jiangzhou in the future. Being able to be ordered to guard this place shows that Master Hou has special trust and attention to you, and it also recognizes your identity!"

Hearing this, Lou Qu was extremely happy: "Really?"

"Of course, even Hou Ye's righteous brother Du Wei was not allowed to come! Hou Ye attached great importance to Wolf Mountain County, and even General Dewey was not at ease. Song Gao said, "But how obvious is it that I sent you over? ”

"Yes, yes! Lou Qu laughed, "I'm my own son, and Dewey is just a brother-in-law!"

"You came here in person this time, and it can be regarded as a great favor for the general!"

"How?"

"The last general's ability is insufficient, the level is limited, and it is very difficult to manage Huairou County, plus Langshan County is really anxious. Song Gao pretended to be pitiful, "I have asked Lord Hou many times to send people, but there has been no one available." Now, with you in charge, the last general can rest assured!

Song Gao praised Lou Qu for a while, and he flattered him in every way, which made Lou Qu feel relaxed and happy, and produced a feeling that Ning Ze really attached great importance to and trusted him, coupled with Song Gao's constant praise, which made him fluttering.

"That's right! Master Hou explained in his letter that after you arrived in Langshan County, everyone over there would obey your dispatch, and all the official vacancies in the entire county town could be arranged according to your ideas. That's a lot of power!"

"So, it's okay for me to let my brothers fill in the official positions?" Lou Qu asked in surprise.

Song Gao immediately nodded and replied, "That's right! Hou Ye completely handed over Wolf Mountain County to you, which is an unprecedented honor. Since Hou Ye assisted Princess Yuanxi to seize Jinzhou, occupy Hanzhou, and take Chengzhou, no one around him has such courtesy. It's enviable to take you so seriously!"

In fact, it is not the truth, since he saw Lou Qu, Song Gao did not have a few words of truth in his mouth, and he did everything according to Ning Ze's instructions.

But Lou Qu believed it and was ecstatic: "That's it, don't look at who I am! ”

"Of course, of course!" Song Gao smiled with a smile on his face, "You have traveled a long way to Jiangzhou, and the journey has been hard. I will live in Huairou County today, and go to Wolf Mountain early tomorrow morning to take office. Everything is arranged over there, just waiting for you!"

"Hmm~ General Song has worked hard!"

"At the end, a banquet will be set up, and you will be invited to enjoy your face later, and we will rest as soon as we get drunk. ”

"Good!"

All day long, Song Gao followed Lou Qu, desperately touting and flattering, making him fluttering.

After the banquet, Lou Qu returned to the camp and said excitedly to the five thousand brothers: "Langshan County is the foundation of seizing Jiangzhou, and if we wait to defend this city, it will mean that my father has approved of me! Listen up! This is the beginning, and the future is bright after me. When to pacify the world, you are all important ministers of the court. So remember, that Danyang Hou is Lao Tzu's father. Not only Lao Tzu's father, but also your father, who made you all Lao Tzu brothers, do you understand?"

"Got it!!" cheered in unison.

As for the vast majority of people at the scene who are older than Ning Ze, who cares? They can leap from beggars and bandits to court officials, and even after Ning Ze seizes the world, everyone will follow the rising tide, let alone call them father, let them call grandpa and ancestor no problem. In order to beg for food, he has long trampled his dignity under his feet.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Song Gao personally sent him off.

At the time of separation, he said to Lou Qu: "Cheng Wan is currently busy dealing with Chu Bai and Zhao Chen, and he should have no time to attack Wolf Mountain. However, you still have to pay attention to it when you go there, and do a good job of city defense as early as possible to ensure that nothing goes wrong and do not disappoint the trust and expectations of the Hou Ye for you. Master Hou said that a county is just a test, if you can be outstanding, there are other burdens waiting for you!"

Lou Qu was even more excited when he heard this, a county Taishou was just a test, could the other burdens be assassins or even bigger officials?

Maybe he can really become a prince in the future, and I'm very excited to think about it.

So he happily replied: "Don't worry! As long as I am here, Wolf Mountain will never be taken away!"

"You must be careful, we are currently short of manpower, and the recruitment of the four states is not very effective. When you get to Wolf Mountain County, you have to rely on yourself, if something really happens, it will be difficult for support to come. ”

"Don't worry, I promise to make Wolf Mountain County like an iron bucket!" Lou Qu replied confidently, "I'm in a hurry, so I won't say much." ”

Song Gaomu sent Lou Qu to take his five thousand brothers to set off towards Langshan County, gradually disappearing into the horizon, until he was out of sight, he turned his horse's head and returned to Huairou County.

After returning, he immediately flew the pigeon and reported to Ning Ze.

When Lou Qu arrived in Langshan County, he immediately filled the official vacancy and arranged all the people around him.

At the same time, learn about the situation in the city and let your brother take over the city defense.

In fact, these people are not from good backgrounds, they are either beggars or homeless people, where do they know how to manage the city? Fortunately, they are also assisted by local officials, who basically occupy official positions, and all of them are hands-off shopkeepers, and the real work is done by those officials who already exist.

Lou Qu didn't care about this, and successfully took over as the Taishou of Langshan County, which made him even more fluttering.

If Ning Ze saw him, he would probably be surprised.

Loyalty, which was originally very low, has skyrocketed in a short period of time.

Most of them are because I met Song Gao yesterday and gained a sense of belonging and trust from talking to him. Coupled with the large amount of military spending, military rations, weapons and armor given to Lou Qu by Ning Ze, and today he directly took over as Taishou, which has risen rapidly.

Soon after Lou Qu arrived in Langshan County, Dewey, Wang Wei and others arrived in Huairou County one after another, and the army was stationed near the city.

Song Gao met with Dewey and Wang Wei, shared Ning Ze's flying pigeon biography, and then said: "Lou Qu has successfully taken over Langshan County, just as planned. According to the intelligence, Cheng Wan is ready to send troops to recapture Wolf Mountain and Huairou, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is Wolf Mountain County. When the time comes, the army will be conquering, and we will need to secretly fuel the fire. The premise is that Langshan County cannot be recaptured by Cheng Wan, and before that, Lou Qu and Cheng Wan will fight to the death. ”

"This Lou Qu is too ambitious to stay. Dewey said, "At such an age, I can pull down my face and call my eldest brother my father." I don't want to have this kind of shameless, utilitarian nephew. Not to mention, without looking at their own identity, even a thief dares to climb the dragon and the phoenix!"

"This person really can't do it!" Song Gao said, "He also feels that he is closer to Hou Ye than General Du." I thought it was a difference between intimacy and intimacy!"

"Huh~" Dewey shook his head.

"Cheng Wan turned around and wanted to regain the lost territory, isn't he afraid of Chu Bai's sneak attack?" Wang Wei asked suspiciously.

"Isn't there still Zhao Chen? As long as Zhao Chen drags Chu Bai, Cheng Wan will have no worries. Dewey said, "It's just that Zhao Chen confronts Chu Bai alone, I'm afraid he is not an opponent." ”

"It's okay, Master Hou has already given the order. Song Gao said with a smile, "As long as Chu Bai fights Zhao Chen with all his might, Bashui County, Miao County, Changping, Ning'an and other places will send troops to Yuanzhou, so that Chu Bai can't care about each other." In this case, it was difficult for him to concentrate on dealing with Zhao Chen. ”

"It's still the eldest brother who thinks thoughtfully. Dewey sighed, "Anything can be arranged in advance." Now that our army has won the four prefectures of Jin, Han, Cheng, and Liang, as well as the two counties of Bashui County in Yuanzhou, Langshan County in Jiangzhou, and Huairou County, who can be the enemy of the princes in the world except Lu Cong?"

"Lu Chung is nothing powerful," Wang Wei said, "The last time he attacked us, wasn't he blocked by Ouyang Chun? Even Ouyang Chun can defend him from abroad, and it is not easy for Hou Ye to free up his hands and clean him up?"

"Of course!" Dewey and Song Gao glanced at each other and smiled at the same time.
