Yang Yichuan was rarely free, but unexpectedly he was disturbed by others. This outsider Yang Yichuan also knew the head of the Zhou family. He came here in person and shouted "It's not good." Could it be that something really happened?

"Speak clearly, what's wrong?"

"Your Highness, after the Guo family and the Lu family were expelled from the Chamber of Commerce, I wanted to bring a batch of goods to Chang'an City to explore the situation and see if the transactions of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce could be restored."

"Well, I know too. If the Gongsun family knows each other, it would be fine to let the Xihe Chamber of Commerce reopen. If not, just change the city. Changshan City in Changzhou is also good. Could it be the Gongsun family?"

"No, it's the bandits, Xifengzhai in Xifeng Mountain. They robbed the goods and killed all the guards I sent. Only one team leader was released, and they said that they would 80% of the things we sent in the future."

Yang Yichuan's face was solemn, his anger was soaring, his brows were furious, and the bandits were still so rampant, which Yang Yichuan did not expect.

"But before, weren't the Guo family and the Lu family okay? Why did they do it this time?"

"I don't know this, it seems that the Xifeng Village has merged. It is said that Xifeng Village is now the second leader, the one-eyed Jiao Duan Jiangliu, is the master of the family. Moreover, it is very likely that more than our family have suffered. The people from the other families are probably only a little slower than my Zhou family. After my captain woke up, he wanted to return along the way, but he didn't see people from other families all the way back."

"Xifeng Mountain is really a geographical location. If you take land, you must pass through this area, whether you go to Beiyuanzhou or Changzhou. If you take a detour, you have to bypass Xifeng Mountain, which will take several more days."

"This Xifeng Village really has a big problem for me. If you walk by water, you can't get to Chang'an City, you can only get to Changqing City. Changqing City is similar to Changshan City."

"Forget it, I will handle this matter. You should first notify people from other families and have a meeting tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Highness."

...

Yang Yichuan was speechless and had no time to spare. Zhou Deren, you send someone to investigate, this Xifeng Village.

"Yes, Your Highness." The intelligence personnel arranged by Yang Yichuan in various places were actually summoned and trained by Zhou Deren. Originally, some people who failed to select the pro-guard army could perform these tasks with a little training.

Yang Yichuan also believed that the news should be found soon. At this stage, the people from these chambers of commerce should be stabilized and discussed countermeasures. In this way, if the problem of Xifengzhai is not solved for a day, the land route will probably not be able to be completed.

"It seems that it is time to make rectifications on the city guards and train an army that can fight, Xihe Army."

"Neiren, now immediately summon Lord Li and other important officials in the city, as well as General Lin. Let's go to Lord Li's mansion to discuss something."

Yang Yichuan returned to the house and looked at his friends, feeling a little sorry.

Yang Yichuan's mahjong position was soon replaced by Yan Yuzhang. "Boss, if you have something to do, just go ahead and do it yourself. With Xiaoxiang Liuli taking care of us, we won't have anything to do."

"That's good. Remember to bring the personal guards when you go out. Don't be troublesome. Xihecheng is not safe either."

"I know, you don't want to be a mother-in-law."

"That's right, Brother Chuan, you are even more annoying than my father when you nag." Even Yang Ruxu thought she was too long-winded, and Yang Yichuan became tactful and didn't plan to say more.

Yang Yichuan took Zhou Deren and set off immediately. It was not big or small. Xifeng Mountain is a key geographical location and is considered a must-pass place for Xihezhou to the mainland. In addition, the transportation of canals is limited, so most of the transportation still needs to be transported by land.

...

At Li Ru's mansion, Yang Yichuan was already waiting for the arrival of Lin Tu and other officials of Xihecheng. Li Ru was also very strange about Yang Yichuan's sudden arrival. Generally speaking, Yang Yichuan was not the one who liked to come to him. According to Li Ru's understanding of Yang Yichuan, Yang Yichuan prefers to make new things in his mansion, or simply relax and relax.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

"There is something, a big deal. Have you heard of Xifengzhai?"

"Xifeng Village? Is it the Xifeng Village in Xifeng Mountain, the junction of the three states?"

"That's right, this Xifeng Village has caused harm to the people for many years, and now it has even put its ideas on our Xihe Chamber of Commerce. So, I decided to move this Xifeng Village."

Li Ru had a deep understanding of Yang Yichuan's courage and decisive behavior. He said that he wanted to destroy the Wild Wolf Gang, so the City Guards took action immediately and turned the Wild Wolf Gang into clouds. "But this Xifeng Village is not as good as the Wild Wolf Gang. It is outside Xihe City, and it occupies favorable terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our Xihe Prefecture has no other troops except the Dingsha Army stationed in Dingsha City. Relying on the strength of the City Guards, I am afraid that it is possible to protect Xihe City. If you go to suppress the bandits, you will not be able to catch it."

"I know, so I plan to expand the Cheng Guards and divide them into two, the Cheng Guards and the Xihe Army. The Cheng Guards are responsible for protecting Xihe City on weekdays, while the Xihe Army is developing towards the regular army."

"But, this is the private training of the army, your Majesty."

"Don't worry, it's okay. My father is not that kind of person. What's more, I don't have such an idea. I would rather be content and comfortable."

"That's right, Your Highness will not have any intention of Your Majesty, so Your Majesty naturally believes in Your Highness."

Soon Lin Tu came, and other officials of all sizes and sizes of Xihecheng also came. Yang Yichuan really couldn't understand where so many officials of all sizes came from in Xihecheng.

Seeing so many people doing this, Yang Yichuan was a little speechless. Okay, let's do it. Yang Yichuan also had a plan in his mind. It seems that he would streamline these officials when necessary. Yang Yichuan could not manage other places, but Xihecheng and Xihezhou are necessary.

Divide the tasks well, and take care of what should be managed, so that there will be no trouble. Of course, these are all plans for the future. Now, it is still important to recruit soldiers and divide the city guards into two.

Yang Yichuan and others were almost here, so they were ready to announce this matter. In fact, Lin Tu was the main focus and other officials were the auxiliary.

"I'm asking you to come today to inform you about something. Xifengzhai in Xifeng Mountain has gradually grown in recent years. Now it's time to move, so I decided to send Xihe Army to suppress the bandits."

"Xihe Army? Where can I have this army?"

"The terrain of Xifeng Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I'm afraid it's less than five times his troops cannot afford this Xifeng Village."

"Your Highness thinks twice. Not to mention that Xifeng Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack, relying solely on Xihecheng's troops, the troops are not intact and the food and grass are insufficient, I'm afraid..."

"Okay, I'm not here to listen to these things. The City Guards are divided into two parts, and part of them retain their current situation and serve as the City Guards for five years. Those who do not have military positions can retire. Those who have military positions can choose to retire on their own, or continue to stay in the City Guards for five years."

"And the other part, renamed Xihe Army, which is based on regular troops, is the main force to wipe out Xifeng Village. In the future, it may also fight against the invasion of the Beiyuan people. For three years, the victims will be compensated by the Prince's Mansion, and those who are seriously injured can be discharged from the army. In the future, the hero monument will be established in the west of Xihe City to commemorate the great achievements of the soldiers who have entered the army and made contributions."

"This matter is left to General Lin as the leader, and try to focus on the voluntary sergeants. The treatment of the two armies will be different. After all, different responsibilities will be different, and management methods will be different."

"As for money and money, it's not a problem for you. I will deal with it. I will build two more granaries in the city. I will be responsible for these two granaries. The granaries you are responsible for must also ensure sufficient food. In case of natural disasters, they will rely on these to help the people."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"General Lin, is it okay to split the city guards into two?"

"No problem, just who should be the commander of the two armies?"

"You mainly focus on Xihe Army. As for the task of the city guards, you will set up four deputy commanders, and they will be in charge of the matter on weekdays. If there is any major event, it is fine to report it to General Lin or me. The candidates for these four deputy commanders will be determined by General Lin."

"Yes, Your Highness." Lin Tu was guilty. He thought he would never go to the battlefield again in this life and would spend his whole life in the schoolyard of the City Guards. But he didn't expect Yang Yichuan would give him such a chance, an opportunity to suppress bandits. Lin Tu knew even more that the future of Xihejun would be more than just suppressing bandits. Of course, Lin Tu was very excited. He could feel that his blood, which had been silent for many years, began to boil again.
