Chapter 125 After the War
Yan Liang led more than 300 cavalrymen, following the horse's hoof prints, and chased them southward. He rushed back a day and a night later, but he did not really kill Guo Daxian, which made him quite depressed.
The bandits in Gaoyi County have been cleaned up, and most of the ordinary bandits have chosen to surrender wisely, because the situation is over, and all the general-level figures have been killed, and the remaining camp captains have no restraint at all. In addition, a large number of bandits have fled in all scattered.
Although Yan Liang returned, although he had never taken the action seriously, he had successfully intercepted the 5,000 troops of the bandits, making Guo Daxian basically return to Fangzi County alone, which was also a great achievement. After Wen Chou comforted him with kind words, Yan Liang became happy again and kept asking about the results of this battle!
In this battle, Wen Chou can be said to have achieved an amazing victory. I am afraid that within a few days, his Wen Chou's reputation will spread throughout the southern counties of this county. Even if it is powerful and close to the counties, it is not impossible.
On that day, Zhao Yun and Yan Liang led cavalry to pursue Guo Daxian. Wen Chou naturally led people to defeat the bandits all the way, and gradually captured them. He was a little clever and could escape. It would not be a big deal. After all, the bandit army had been crippled, so what kind of waves could the remaining small characters who could not get on the table make!
Then came the appeasement of the villagers in Gaoyi County. After this disaster, Gaoyi County suffered serious damage and blows. Regardless of the economic aspects of the villagers, the biggest problem is that after this battle, the county's Guizhou dropped by a large margin. At present, it seems that only more than 20,000 people are left. Even if the people in the countryside are counted together, it is only more than 40,000, which is equivalent to Shahe Township.
Of course, in addition to this, there are more than 10,000 prisoners, which is the harvest of Wen Chou's battle. If nothing goes wrong, these prisoners will be guided by Wen Chou as the prisoners of Shahe Township.
However, at present, there are still many people in Gaoyi County. Because the 20,000 to 30,000 village heroes brought by Wen Chou have not left yet, they are busy comforting and helping the people of Gaoyi County to rebuild their homes! Of course, they also mean to take care of prisoners.
The first task Wen Chou did to relieve the people and persuade them to return home was just the first task. It was also the most tedious task. After a busy day, the entire army had been truly comforted. The Guizhou Shou, who had been invaded by bandits for several days.
Not to mention the others, they just want to eat the flesh of the prisoners and drink the blood of the prisoners. Their anger and aura are not easy to calm down. This is also a headache for Wen Chou. It seems that these prisoners cannot live here, and they must be moved to Shahe Township to settle.
In addition, it is not easy to do any of the cleaning of the battlefield, the statistics of casualties, the merit records of the soldiers, etc.. Of course, the generals and schools below are responsible for these tasks, so Wen Chou doesn't have to be too tired, but he can't ignore it at all. What if some people report data privately and take the rewards for their merits!
After all, there are mixed personnel, so you must be careful. If he cares about various matters from time to time, it also shows that Wen Chou’s own rigorous attitude will not make his subordinates slack.
In addition, the conversation between the generals and the generals who remained in Gaoyi County was also very important. Although Gaoyi County Magistrate and the County Magistrate led some county soldiers to abandon the city, the people who remained were instinctively ignored. They were county officials and generals in this county, and their understanding of Gaoyi County was not comparable to that of others.
"Jun Cheng, you are the county magistrate, why didn't you leave? Zeng, the county magistrate and the county magistrate?" Wen Chou said with a polite expression. Standing in front of him was a middle-aged and elderly man in his ragged clothes and undressed face, about forty or fifty years old, like a Confucian scholar dressed.
"Wenjun wants to ask me if I'm guilty?" The man tidied up his clothes and hair slightly and said.
"No, Cheng Jun is so kind, how can you be so arrogant?" Wen Chou said apologetically.
"Mr. Wen doesn't need to say too much. As a county official, he cannot protect the county town and is defeated by the bandits. In any case, I am guilty of being a crime." The man turned his mind and said sadly. Then he sighed and continued: "Mr. Wen doesn't need to pursue the county king. The county magistrate is responsible. They also have a hidden secret, so I won't say much."
This sentence surprised Wen Chou, "Unsense to say"? What other questions can be more important than the fate of the 30,000 people in the county town! They are the 'parents' of these Guizhou leaders! But due to Cheng Jun's resolute tone just now, he didn't ask too much, and hid the question in his heart, just said: "Since that's the case, I dare to ask Cheng Jun to take charge of the responsibility of appeaseing the county people!"
"This is my duty, so Mr. Wen doesn't have to be polite!" The man said with a polite manner. Seeing this, Wen Chou bowed and bowed before sending the county magistrate Cheng Jun away.
Soon, a strong man came to the hall. Looking at his blood robe, he knew that this was a fighting man who had just come down from the battlefield. The tiger steps were with the wind, and the Han Han was a left-behind general in Gaoyi County. He was also the military officer with the highest position in Gaoyi County after the county lieutenant left.
This person's surname is Lu Liang. According to Wen Chou's observations on several visits to Gaoyi County, he was a military general with great potential, just because he was just over the age of twentie, and he was one of the few generals and officials under the county magistrate. Compared with Yan Liang, Dong Jiang and other people who served as the chief of Qutun under Wen Chou were not bad at all. Another thing is that it is rumored that this person has very good martial arts skills and is the first person in Gaoyi County! This is also a reason why Wen Chou attaches great importance to him.
"Mr. Lu, after a few days of separation, my long-cherished wish ended!" Wen Chou stepped forward and grabbed Lu Liang's hands and said sincerely.
The reason for saying this is that when Gaoyi County was not yet attacked by the Black Mountain bandits, Wen Chou came to seek reinforcements. Lu Liang was one of the few people who believed that they should support Wen Chou and Guo Daxian to fight to the death.
"Thank you for your help! Otherwise, we will be under the oppression of the bandits!" Lu Liang said as he heard this, he immediately wanted to bow down and said.
"Mr. Lu doesn't have to do this. I am the Taolin Captain. I am responsible for the safety of several surrounding counties and townships. How could I sit down and see the Qianshou in Gaoyi County being bullied by bandits? This is my duty!" Wen Chou grabbed Lu Liang's hand and refused to make him bow down, saying.
"Mr. Wen is far from being compared with others! But Mr. Wen calls me here now, what's the matter?" Lu Liang was very grateful and asked questions.
"Although the bandit army is defeated by our coalition forces, and most of them are captured by us, there are still several bandits. If they escape, they will definitely be a hidden danger in this place. Although our army is numerous, most of them are borrowed strong and county soldiers. Now that spring is coming, they will inevitably scatter to the various counties and townships. Therefore, the task of clearing these small bandits will still fall on the shoulders of Lu Jun!" Wen Chou let go of Lu Liang and said with a pace.
"Mr. Wen is very thoughtful. Mr. Lu must take on this great task to redeem the unfavorable crime of protecting the county town before!" Lu Liang pondered for a moment and said ashamed.
"I am relieved to do so. This time, Gaoyi County has made this great creation. It is the time when we are working hard for the people. With Mr. Lu's words, we can definitely calm the hearts of the people in this county." Wen Chou said happily.
Wen Chou's difficulties in inviting Lu Liang to eliminate the remnants of the bandits was also because he didn't want the Taolin soldiers to be responsible for the removal of the remaining bandits. He was really unable to do so. After several fierce battles, he always rushed to the front line of the battlefield. Now the Taolin army is so powerful, but the number of people has dropped significantly, less than 600 people!
Several major wars have also made Wen Chou feel "military and powerful" in people's hearts. This is not what Wen Chou wants. But this is not something Wen Chou wants, because it is not that he wants to fight, but that is, he is always looking for him! He led the civilians to form troops to resist, but it is just self-defense. This is a chaotic era where no one can stay out of the matter. There will only be more battles in the future, not less.
"That's true, but in this way, although the county town is restored, the county magistrate, county magistrate and other professionals have been vacant. In recent days, stationery will be requested to take charge of the overall situation! When the county court arrives, the appointment will be issued." Lu Liang raised a very realistic question and asked.
Although it is a fact that Wen Chou presided over the overall situation of Gaoyi County, as a representative of Gaoyi County, Lu Liang's words of "invitation" are still very necessary to express, which represents the orthodox position. Otherwise Wen Chou would feel like "occupying the magpie's nest".
"Of course, spring is coming in a few days. After that, I will personally go to the county to report my life. I think the county will be stable at that time." Wen Chou said in a faint voice, and he wanted to take advantage of this and that it was the meaning of entering Gaoyi County.
When Lu Liang heard this, he was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up, and he said boldly: "Before this battle, I will definitely submit to the county court as it is, and help you with your help!"
"Haha, then I will thank Mr. Lu first!" Wen Chou naturally understood and said immediately.
Then the two talked about some specific things, but the host and the guest had a happy relationship.
Shortly after Lu Liang left, Liu Zhong hurried to Guan Temple to pay homage to Wen Chou.
"Zi Zheng, I have been missing for several days, I'm sorry for you!" Wen Chou saw Liu Zhong and said first.
"Zhong is very lucky to have not let down the entrustedness of Mr. Wen!" Liu Zhong said. He was short-speaking, but he always said it, which was the inner words of Fazi.
"Zizheng, you and I have been together for more than a year, so we have been friends with each other. There is no need to be so restrained. You should be the first to be revived in the county!" Wen Chou slapped Liu Zhong on the shoulder and said.
"It's really Mr. Wen's ability to do things, otherwise I wouldn't have been hiding in Gaoyi County!" Liu Zhong said sincerely.
Seeing this, Wen Chou knew that Liu Zhongzhi was stubborn and did not say much about this issue. He asked: "Zizheng, you have been hiding and moving in this county for several days. How much do you know about the facts in the county?" This is why Wen Chou called him.
"The truth in this county?" Liu Zhong was stunned at first when he heard this, and then said, "Although I dare not tell you all, I can still touch you!"
