After appeaseing Bai Qiuyu, Yao Ruoyu ordered people to spread the map in front of the hall and said in a deep voice: "According to the outside world of the Chu family, Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan will rectify their troops, that is, they will leave in three days. With the distance between Hezhou and Chongqing, and the characteristics of both infantry, they will take at least ten days to arrive in Hezhou."

"Since that's the case, there's no need to worry for the moment. Thunder God Camp and Yanhu Camp have to hurry up and continue training. The efficiency of Luo Family Camp is much higher than that of you!" He looked at Yang Renjie and Fu Feng first, and signaled that they should not talk. Then Yao Ruoyu looked at Luo He and said in a deep voice, "Master of Luo Family, your Luo Family is very famous in Hezhou City after all. In the next few days, I will ask Luo Family Camp to guard Diaoyu City and beware of the opportunity to cause trouble in the city."

Luo He looked solemn when he heard this, and clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured that the city lord, Luo will definitely swear to guard Diaoyu City to the death and not let Xiao Xiao cause trouble. In addition, since Luo has joined the city lord, the title of Luo family can be stopped. Please call Luo directly in the future."

"I am one round older than my family. How can I call him the name?" Yao Ruoyu frowned slightly, and said in a deep thought, "But since the head of Luo's family insists on it, Yao will be called Luo Ying General, what about?"

"Okay." Luo He stopped insisting when he heard this, he agreed and then sat down again.

After Luo He sat down, Yao Ruoyu looked at Yang Renjie and Fu Feng and said in a deep voice: "You have seven days left to train well, and don't seek how to achieve results. At least you won't be defeated during the battle."

Yang Renjie frowned his eyebrows with some dissatisfaction: "Old demon, you are so disapproving of me and the mad dog? Don't worry! I use the Xiang family army's training methods to train troops. Unfortunately, we don't have mounts, otherwise I can build a cavalry for you!"

"If the cavalry is going to repel this offensive, let's talk about it later," said a smile. Seeing Fu Feng nodding, Yao Ruoyu looked at Bai Qiuyu again and said solemnly, "Luo Family Ying is responsible for the Diaoyu City. In Hezhou City, the Bai Family needs to temporarily put some effort into it. You don't need to fight the Song army. You just need to stay in Hezhou City and not let wildfires and thieves take advantage of the situation to make trouble. OK?"

Bai Qiuyu immediately nodded and replied, "As for orders."

The only reason why Bai Junru was unwilling to help the Literary and Art Army was because the attack was the Song army this time. As a great scholar, Bai Junru had a deep thought of loyalty to the emperor. Of course, he was unwilling to resist the court. However, if he was only responsible for seizing Hezhou City and preventing the bandits from causing trouble, he would probably agree in the end. Of course, this also required Bai Qiuyu to request it.

Yao Ruoyu finally looked at Xu Xuanrong. Before he could speak, Xu Xuanrong smiled and said, "I have ordered the Lily Sect's disciples to be distributed around Hezhou City. Once there are traces of Chu Xuan and others, they will report them immediately."

Seeing that the beauty in her heart was so tacit understanding, Yao Ruoyu felt a little warm and nodded and smiled.

Seeing that Yao Ruoyu handled the matter in an orderly manner and was not at all confused, Bai Qiuyu's eyes suddenly felt a little sad. He quietly glanced at Xu Xuanrong, and then spoke out: "City Lord, have you ever thought about repelling the second son of the Chu family?"

Yao Ruoyu was stunned when she heard this, then looked at Bai Qiuyu and the others present, and immediately knew their thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I have discussed this matter with Zhuzhu Xu. We already have a countermeasure, so there is no need to worry."

Seeing that Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong were calm, Bai Qiuyu stopped talking and then sat down again after bowing.

In the next five days, Yang Renjie and Fu Feng were all focused on training troops in the military camp. Although Jiang Siyu, Wu Xue, Li Yilin, Hou Jingru and others were willing to help, the four of them had insufficient cultivation and did not know how to train troops. They simply didn't care too much, followed them during the day and tried their best to practice with the help of elixirs at night.

The news that the Song Dynasty was about to send troops to attack Hezhou was also spread in the city under Yao Ruoyu's deliberate indulgence. Fortunately, Xu Xuanrong's early ideological work was done well. Except for a few people, most of them were scolding the court for not being loyal and treasonable and being punished for the meritorious officials.

In addition, some wildfire thieves took the opportunity to cause trouble. As a result, the Bai family and the Luo family were in Hezhou and Diaoyu respectively. The turmoil was strongly suppressed as soon as it appeared.

Perhaps afraid of the upcoming attack of the Song army, the Black Wolf Cavalry quickly withdrew from Hezhou City and returned to the White Wolf Association's nest, while the Taoyuan Gang did not make any noise. However, Liu Zhimou still shrank all his hands into his nest, thinking that he was also worried about the attack of the Song army.

*—*—*—*—*

"No matter whether loyalty or treason is loyal or treason, he will be punished with meritorious officials? What a good method! However, after being in charge of the city lord's mansion for several days, he has grasped the people's hearts to such a level. I have never seen such a person who has achieved such a skill in so many years!"

Standing in front of the pond of Baihe Academy, Bai Junru frowned and looked at Bai Qiuyu beside him with a smile.

Seeing his father looking at him, Bai Qiuyu immediately sneered and looked to the side awkwardly.

Seeing Bai Qiuyu's awkward appearance, Huang Kuankuan, Yuan Ren, Li De and Zhu Qing standing on one side were all laughing secretly. They were all Bai Junru's disciples, and they were also Bai Qiuyu's senior brothers and sisters. They had a very good relationship with this junior brother.

Shaking his head slightly, Bai Junru sighed: "This is such a method. If it is used in Hezhou, it is okay, but it is only a stingy method in the whole country, and it cannot be achieved by entering the elegant hall... After you return to Diaoyu City, you need to warn the city lord that you should be upright in dealing with people and not use the means of villains."

Bai Qiuyu didn't feel relieved when she heard this. After pondering for a long time, she bowed and said, "Qiuyu doesn't agree with this father."

"Oh?" Bai Junru said lightly, "Let's hear it."

"Since ancient times, the reason why my Confucianism has been prosperous is nothing more than that my Confucianism is in line with the needs of the monarch. The wisdom of the foolish people is beneficial to the ruler's ruler. If the people's wisdom is not opened, then the country will be in chaos." Seeing Bai Junru's expression was dull, Bai Qiuyu plucked up his courage and continued, "However, looking at the past dynasties, although the wisdom of the people is not opened is conducive to the ruler's ruler's ruler, it is easy for the people to be exploited by the opposition party, follow the flow, and disrupt the country's situation."

"What the Literary and Art Army does seem to be using the hearts of the people and compeling the wishes of the people. Their methods may not be elegant, but they are also extremely effective. In just a few days, they have been able to gather the hearts of the people in the city for their own use. Although the premier was too unbearable, they could not erase the city lord. The chief clerk's methods were too high."

"Hmph! City Lord? Chief Corner? You call naturally." Bai Junru said coldly with a sneer.

Bai Qiuyu smiled bitterly when she heard this, and continued, "As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. These methods may only be applicable to one city now, but how can my father know that they have no means to one country?"

With a stern expression, Bai Qiuyu said in a deep voice: "In recent years, the Prime Minister of Qin has maintained the government, rejected his rebellious self, and attacked and annihilated loyal ministers. If it weren't for the three kings taking charge of military power to restrain them, I was afraid that my Song Dynasty would have already had the surname Qin..."

"Rareless!" Bai Junru's white eyebrows sterned and said angrily, "You are so brave?"

He was shocked, and Bai Qiuyu immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Since I was young, Qiuyu was puzzled by her father's knowledge of Confucian principles. If Confucianism was really correct, why did what his father said was the dark government, the officials covered each other and the party was promoted? That's why Qiuyu went against his father's intentions and insisted on traveling outside to see the land of China with his own eyes. How exactly did it?"

"After the years, Qiuyu has become more and more confused. Is Confucianism really wrong? Am I Confucianism really right?" His eyes were slightly dim, and Bai Qiuyu sighed, "But why did the clean officials have difficulty walking along the way, and corrupt officials have been promoted step by step, and the scenery is full of fish and meat people..."

Forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Bai Qiuyu said in a deep voice: "The city lord and the chief clerk's approach may be to use the people's hearts or to make a fuss, but as long as it is effective and as long as it can be beneficial to govern the country, how can Qiuyu not follow him?"

"When the lord of the city was there, although there was a market to remit money and the bandits did not dare to enter the city, the people were not rich, the poor were still poor, the rich were still rich, the distance between the rich and the poor was never closer, and the well-off world as the saint said never appeared..."

Hearing what Bai Qiuyu said, Bai Junru immediately sneered: "Then can these people create a well-off world? Now I only see blindly recruiting soldiers and causing disasters, and there is no way to govern the country!"

"That's because the enemy is coming and I'm unable to control it for the time being!" Bai Qiuyu said solemnly, "Qiuyu traveled to China and saw countless people, but these people are very special. When they first met, Qiuyu felt something. Until the reunion of Hezhou, and all the things that followed, Qiuyu believed that these people were the people I wanted, and could make the people live and work in peace and contentment without worrying about food and drink and disasters!"

Seeing that Bai Qiuyu bit her to death, she only recognized Yao Ruoyu and others because of her feelings. Bai Junru was speechless for a while, and then hummed for a long time: "I'm afraid it's not that they are special, but that Xu Zhuan Zhu is more special!"

After her face turned red, Bai Qiuyu said embarrassedly: "Of course there are some factors..."

Hearing this, Huang Kuankuan and others burst into laughter, but after Bai Junru glanced coldly, the group of people stood up solemnly and did not dare to laugh anymore.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Junru said lightly: "You don't need to say these words to me. My father has said it long ago and will not join the Literary and Art Army to help them fight against the court."

Bai Qiuyu quickly replied: "Qiuyu dared not ask her father to help the Literary and Art Army, but only wanted her father to be in Hezhou City for the sake of the innocent people, so as not to let the bandits scoundrels and mess up the city."

"Don't worry! If I have a husband here for one day, I will not let you mess with Hezhou!" Bai Junru said in a deep voice with a stern expression.

At this moment, there were suddenly noise outside the academy and a neat footsteps, as if a large number of people were passing by the street outside.

Hearing the movement outside, Bai Junru Baimei Yixuan looked at Huang Kuankuan. The latter understood and immediately turned around and left. A moment later, he saw him back quickly, and his expression was a little shocked. Before he got close, he had already said loudly: "Teacher, it is Thunder God Camp and Yanhu Camp. It is said that he is the order of the city lord to encircle and suppress the thief party in the city."

"Encircle and suppress the thief party in the city?" Zhu Qing, the fourth disciple of Bai Junru, was stunned when he heard this and asked in confusion, "Has the wildfire thieves been driven away? Where did the thief party come from? Do you actually need to dispatch two battalions?"

Shaking his head, Huang Kuankuan looked at Bai Junru at a loss, and hesitated: "It's not a wildfire thief, it's..."

Seeing his expression, Bai Junru suddenly realized something, and his old pupils shrank slightly, and he murmured: "Taoyuan Gang!"
