Time passed quickly. Just as it was the end of April, the bandits in the Taihang Mountains began to clean up and drive away the old, weak and disabled soldiers. Not to mention the distance, it was just that Gaoyi County accepted more than a dozen refugees in the past seven or eight days, with a total number of two or three thousand people. But this was just the beginning. The real refugee tide is brewing. Fortunately, Gaoyi County has stabilized now, and there will be no major problems with the acceptance of these refugees.

On this day, the empire entered the fifth year of Zhongping. On the first day of May, the sky was clear and the breeze was blowing gently, showing a sense of comfort. The Qianshou in Gaoyi County was also orderly and unsteadily receiving and arranging the hungry people from the deep mountains under the leadership of county officials at all levels.

Here, a team of soldiers wearing strong clothes and armor slowly left the city gate and walked along the official road, leaving only a back for Cheng Qi, Liu Zhong, Jiang Zhe and others under the city gate. Yes, this was exactly what Wen Chou led to visiting other counties, but before that, he had to patrol the townships under Gaoyi County.

This time, Wen Chou and his team were not too many, but were just a team of elite soldiers led by Wen Ba. However, this team of fifty or sixty people had extraordinary combat power. Not to mention ordinary bandits, even if they encountered ten times or twenty times their elite bandits, they could escape safely! But to say that they would defeat the bandits, it would be a fool.

Wen Chou and his group left the city gate, passed by Cheng Qi, the county magistrate who came to see him off, Liu Zhong and other county officials, who followed the official road to the south, and were preparing to start from Daying Township in the south, and inspect Gaoyi County - from the south to the west, then turn north, and finally turn to Qimin Township in the east of Gaoyi County, then leave the county, enter the boundary of Shahe Township, inform Taolin Cliff, and then head to Julu County. This is a general itinerary for Wen Chou.

The four townships under Gaoyi County are basically divided around the county town in four directions. Of course, there may be some deviations. For example, Daying Township and Jihe Township are basically located in the southwest of the county town, while Qimin Township, a village system that has been transformed from prisoners to Qimin, is located in the east of the county town, connecting Shahe Township. This is also because they were moved from Shahe Township and have a close connection with Shahe Township. The remaining town is located directly north of the city, and most of the members of the Qianshou are survivors in the mountains.

The inspection work in the four townships was surprisingly smooth. Wen Chou and his group left the territory of Gaoyi County in just about two days. This was what Wen Chou had expected before. Because he believed that his foundation was still shallow in Gaoyi County, and there were so many accidents in the city, let alone the countryside far away from the county town.

However, because Wen Chou's deeds of resisting the bandits in the past year have been circulating in the village, the Qianshou in the village has a greater sense of identity with Wen Chou, the "blade bandit nemesis" and "chirish Xiaosanlang". He has also been more complete in the implementation and compliance of the series of political decrees and measures issued by Wen Chou. This is another unexpected surprise for Wen Chou's visit this time. It makes Wen Chou more excited and happy about the action of visiting the county.

Without further ado, since we arrived at the boundary of Shahe Township, Wen Chou and his group were heading straight towards the Taolin Pass. The land of Jizhou in April and May was not so pleasant, but the greenness that quickly retreated all the way really made Wen Chou sigh for a while, the beautiful environment and the fresh air.

On the official road, there were smoke and dust all the way, and there were scattered people walking around, going to give guidance and waiting. Wen Chou’s more than 50 iron cavalry were like a torrent, passing by, showing a happy life. The fast horse galloping naturally greatly abbreviated the time when Wen Chou rushed to Taolin Pass. On the afternoon of the third day, Wen Chou and his group entered the gate with the surprise expressions of Taolin Camp Jiang Xuan, Jun Sima Yan Liang and others.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, Jiang Xuan, Yan Liang and others miss Wen Chou and Wen Ba very much. Although they have letters, how can they compare to the original day and night together! It was a smooth conversation.

"Mr. Wen came from afar and never came far away. Please forgive me." Jiang Xuan said in surprise. Although he was no longer a subordinate of Wen Chou, he still held the etiquette of his subordinates. Not only Jiang Xuan, but also other military marquis on the frontier, the same was true for Wen Chou's respect.

"Haha, more than a month after parting, the spring breeze of Captain Jiang, Yan Sima and all the military marquises are still there, which is a joyful congratulation." Wen Chou said with a hearty smile. His words were not so official, and he showed his closeness.

Wen Chou gave face, and the military marquis on the block naturally greeted and responded. They were all familiar with each other and had all gone to the battle together, so the friendship among them was naturally uncommon. After a few words, Yan Liang shouted that he would organize a banquet and a delicacy, and that he would be drunk.

Military figures, the top figures like Wen Chou, and Yan Liang, are even more so. Others have no doubts about it. Even the scholar Jiang Xuan, after experiencing his military career for more than 10 years, has long lost his previous restraint and has been adapting to the communication methods between the martial arts. In this regard, Jiang Xuan is far superior to other brothers Jiang Zhe.

In the relaxed and generous conversation, night fell, lights came, and the banquet started.

"Jun Jiang, since I led 600 soldiers to Gaoyi, have I recruited new soldiers from the frontier?" Wen Chou raised his glass and signaled Jiang Xuanyan, who was sitting on his right.

"Haha, let's not hide it. Since you dispatched 600 people, prisoners have moved from Guixian, which has made the troops in the frontier empty! It's so hard for us to make things difficult for the brothers! As a last resort, more than 300 people were recruited from the villagers and the prisoners were selected to be good, and a total of more than 500 people were obtained. Only then did Wenjun's military power and establishment be restored..." When talking about this, Jiang Xuan had endless bitterness, and he also brought Yan Liang, Dong Jiang, Tie Qian and others to testify, which made Wen Chou regret mentioning this matter.

To this end, Wen Chou could only respond with "Yeah, ahhh" and praised Jiang Xuan for one or two sentences from time to time to confirm the achievements of Jiang Xuan's leadership of Taolins. Similarly, Wen Chou also learned about the current situation of Taolinses from Jiang Xuan's series of words.

"Jun Jiang, what do you think about the increasing number of refugees and the fact that the old and weak bandits were driven out of the mountain?" In order to avoid Jiang Xuan's resentment, Wen Chou raised a topic.

"Well, the bandits came out? This is hard to say. There are many variable factors. On the one hand, it may bring new vitality to the land of Jizhou; on the other hand, it may bring further blows to the land of Jizhou." Jiang Xuan was stunned at first, then thought for a moment, and said worriedly.

"Why did this come from?"

"I only care about the response methods of the counties and counties in Jizhou. If the hundreds of thousands of old and weak can be completely contained and given better placement, it will inevitably make the thieves in the mountains, and this is the new vitality of Jizhou."

"If the counties and counties use these old and weak as burdens and use force to suppress them, it will inevitably cause these thieves to gather again as bandits and cause disaster to the villages. In this way, it will be a further blow to Jizhou. The power of the dead men is far beyond ordinary county soldiers and township soldiers to suppress them." Jiang Xuan said two situations in a row, then he took the wine bottle on the table and sipped it.

"What Mr. Jiang said makes sense, but he is not careful and detailed. Both of these situations are extreme situations! In my opinion, it will definitely not happen, and a compromise situation will occur!" Wen Chou thought about it for a moment and responded to Jiang Xuanyan.

"A compromise?"

"That's right, don't you hear that Huangfu Gong, the general of the left cavalry in front, has borrowed three million stones of grain from Jingzhou and scattered to the counties and counties around the mountain for storage of refugees? Although these three million grains cannot completely solve the food problem of these refugees, they can greatly alleviate the conflict between the bandits and refugees and the government, so that some refugees are in trouble in the village, but they will also be limited to a very small range..." Wen Chou explained in detail.

"Well, haha, what Mr. Wen thinks is far more careful than what he says!" After hearing this, Jiang Xuanqing thought for a moment, raised his glass and said with a smile. He was convinced by Wen Chou's insight.

......

In the lobby, there were not only conversations between Wen Chou and Jiang Xuan. Yan Liang, Wen Ba, Dong Jiang, Tie Qian, Liu Qing, Chen Ning, Xiahou Lan and other characters, all talked happily. When it comes to drinking, Wen Chou is the most respected, because these characters all respected Wen Chou several times.

A banquet made Wen Chou stay away from Taolinsai for more than a month, instantly bridged and became more intimate; an open-minded discussion also made these martial artists, rough people, and even more cherish each other; a mess of cups and plates, and a gathering of mutual cares made them more intimate and trusted.

When everyone was happy and dispersed, the starry sky surrounded the shallow moon, showing its elegant pleasure. Perhaps they were also celebrating some grand occasions! Just like Jiang Xuan, Yan Liang, Wen Ba and others surrounded Wen Chou.

"Pong Ji, how did this Sima do?" After seeing someone go, Wen Chou stood in front of the window and spoke.

"Haha, no matter how powerful the eldest brother's 'county king' is, it's not as good as the prestige of the eldest brother!"

"Haha, then you must work hard and never forget to strengthen your own cultivation! Although martial arts are important, you cannot help but not write down your documents. I heard Jiang Junyan say that since you became Sima, you have studied scriptures. This trip is commendable."

"Isn't this forced by Master Jiang?" Yan Liang was angry when he talked about this. With his temperament, how could he study the Lao Shizi classics? Trend Jiang Xuan said that he, Sima, was a deputy in the army, how could he not read more books? And most of the affairs of the general were given to him, so he began his miserable reading journey.

"Haha, Jinyan's actions are also for you. Don't have so much resentment." Wen Chou said comfortingly. Seeing Yan Liangyu's face was bitter, Wen Chou then changed the topic and said, "I wonder what happened to my mother?"

"My mother is very good. I have me here to stay and I will protect the safety of the village." Yan Lianghao said angrily.
