Yanzhou Dongping Guoshou Zhang County was originally a low county, with less than a thousand households and a population of only a few thousand. Later, the Yellow Turban disaster was displaced, died or fled, and the entire county town was even more depressed. Of course, this is about the past, before Song Jiang entered Shou Zhang and the guards protected the county town.

Today's Shouzhang County has undergone a drastic change from the time it was occupied by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. The most obvious manifestation is that the county town has registered more than 5,600 households and more than 40,000 people, so this is not a county.

Xiao Rang, the saint scholar in Shouzhang County, shook his head, put down the wolves in his hand, closed the thick household registration list that had been recorded in densely packed, stood up his thin body, and walked left and right in the county government. The wide and dark Confucian dress was swaying with the movement. He gently picked up his beard and said to himself: "The uneven places and the turbulent times have made me feel more stable and prosperous. Now Shouzhang is crowded, and the small county town can accommodate so many people. In the past few days, people from all over the world have poured into my Shouzhang. There are hundreds of people who have been naturalized every day, and countless people have not been naturalized. Brother Song Jiang entrusted this Shouzhang civil service to me before leaving. I worked day and night, and did my best to talk about my contributions, and I also worked hard. I don't know if he saw this prosperity after he came back, which is commendable for me."

Xiao Rang couldn't help but stop striding, rolled up his wide scholar's sleeves, turned his back, raised his clear and thin face, and continued to murmur: "Xiao Rang, Xiao Rang, you have studied hard for several years, are full of knowledge, have a beautiful heart, are proficient in writing, but have been wandering for half a lifetime, and have never obtained any fame and fortune, and have only become a former writer. Now God has ordered you to enter the Later Han Dynasty, and you will eventually have the opportunity to show your talents. You must not slack off."

While muttering to himself, footsteps came from far to near outside the county government hall. A man covered in clothes walked in big steps. The man was about seven feet tall and five, with purple-tanged face and beard. He saw that he walked straight to the top few cases of the county government that he sat down with a golden sword.

Xiao Rang turned around, smiled slightly, and asked, "Brother Lei Heng, is there any abnormality in patrolling today?"

It turned out that this man was a winged tiger Lei Heng. On that day, Song Shijiang gathered the guards and summoned all the heroes of Liangshan to attack Dong, and left some brothers to guard Shou Zhang. Lei Heng was in charge of Shou Zhang's garrison camp, so he was appointed by Song Shijiang as the county magistrate of Shou Zhang and was kept in charge of military affairs. Xiao Rang, who temporarily served as Shou Zhang's chief clerk, was in charge of civil affairs. The two of them were both civil and military, and they all paid great responsibility.

Lei Heng grabbed a few teapots, poured them into a cup, and drank them all in one drink. He said angrily: "Brother Xiao Rang, there are countless people who have entered my Shouzhang City in the past few days, and they are densely filled with refugees. Those with relatives join in the relatives, and those with wealth stay in a hotel and rent a house. This is the right thing to do. You say, those who have no money, no money and no livelihood enter my Shouzhang, and you will cause trouble for me, Lei Heng... Those pickled refugees are blocked all over the streets, and I really want to bombard him and others..."

Xiao Rang smiled and said, "Brother, the people in other counties and counties are willing to pour into my Shouzhang, which means that my Shouzhang is properly guarded and has a harmonious relationship. Brother, I believe that when Brother Song Jiang returns, I see that the more people we recruit, the more timely we place the people, the greater the contribution."

Lei Heng shouted, "Brother Xiao Rang, what do you think of those pickled refugees? They are all people without any brilliance, and they only cost me Liangshan food and grass. All these food and grass have been accumulated over the years of Liangshan. Wouldn't it be better to recruit soldiers and horses?"

Xiao Rang still chuckled and said, "Brother Lei Heng doesn't know that raising the people is also raising soldiers. These refugees, if they are stable, they are the people who live in their lives, they are the people who are my taxes. When they are supported by the people, they are the source of my soldiers. Therefore, brother, don't complain. In a word, if the refugees come to my lives, they will accept all the refugees. All the refugees will be served in two meals of porridge a day, but they will ask that no one starves to death and freezes to death. If the family is innocent and willing to settle in the lives of Shouzhang, they will settle in..."

Lei Heng waved his hand and shouted: "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. I still remember the instructions from Brother Song Jiang and Military Advisor Wu Yong. Now I am the county magistrate, I am the chief general of the garrison camp, and I am the commander of Shouzhang, so you don't need to be too noisy..."

Xiao Rang wanted to say something again, but after hearing Lei Heng's words, he had to stop abruptly. At the time in Liangshan, you were in front of you, you were the brother, and now you are the county magistrate, holding the 800 garrison troops. If you say that you are unhappy, I'd better take care of yourself. Xiao Rang shook his head, sat back in front of his own cases, and brought up the wolf hair to continue to organize the household registration list.

Suddenly, I heard the noise outside the county government, mixed with screams, running around, and smashing vessels, and the noise was very noisy. Lei Heng slapped the tables on the upper tables and grinned and shouted, "My thief, what happened outside? Let's go and see." Xiao Rang also stopped writing and stood up.

Lei Heng was angrily about to drive out of the county government. Suddenly, a garrison soldier rushed into the hall and was out of breath for reporting: "General... General Lei. What a big thing is not good..."

Lei Heng shouted: "I'm so anxious, what's going on?"

The soldier said in a panic: "Outside the city... outside the north gate... the Yellow Turban thieves are coming to attack..."

"The remnants of the Yellow Turban?" Lei Heng was excited and laughed: "This is not a big deal, it is clearly a reward for sending it. The Yellow Turban thief is very useless."

He turned to Xiao Rang and shouted, "Brother, it is a real contribution to repel the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. It is a great deal to accept the refugees." He turned around and shouted, "Well, go and summon the soldiers of the garrison camp and follow me to make meritorious contributions!"

"Yes!" The soldiers of the garrison camp retreated quickly.

Lei Heng picked up Park Knife with his right hand and walked out with big strides. Xiao Rang shouted hurriedly from behind: "Brother Lei Heng, I'll go too."

The two left the county government office, and there was already chaos outside. The store furniture hurriedly closed the shop, and the vendors also abandoned the stalls. The people cried and ran away. Their sons could not find their parents, and their wives could not find their husbands. The ground was even more messy, with fruits, vegetables, and bamboo baskets wrapped in shoes and socks falling all over the street.

Lei Heng was furious, his hair and hair were all scattered, and he yelled around, "You are afraid of me, I will see my Shouzhang Guards still here. See me drive away the Yellow Turban Thiefs! All of them are safe."

Xiao Rang also shouted loudly: "People, please don't panic. My Shouzhang Guards will not leave Shouzhang alone, and will drive away the Yellow Turban thieves. Please rest assured to the people."

The people on the street gradually stopped running randomly, and some people came out of the shop again. They knelt down and cried in unison: "General, Shouzhang is rarely stable. Please drive away the Yellow Turban thieves!"

Lei Hengjue roared: "Of course. I'll go to the city gate now. You can wait for my good news at home."

The two of them rode their horses toward the north gate. A city gate team on the city tower was seeing thunder coming across, and rushed over. After saluting, they shouted urgently: "General, the Yellow Turban thieves are calling out outside the city."

"Go and have a look!"

Up the city tower, Lei Heng raised his eyes and looked out.

I saw thousands of soldiers and horses standing densely outside the land with one arrow outside the city. However, although there were many people, the queue was not in order. Looking closely, the soldiers and horses were messy, clothes were not intact, some were covered with silk, some were short brown clothes, some were not intact, some were not intact, some were holding guns and spears, some were holding swords, some were holding plows, and some were holding rakes and rigging. Except for the yellow turbans, there was no military appearance.

The crowd of soldiers and horses held their weapons high and shouted to the city: "Hurry open the city gate and surrender quickly, open the city gate and surrender quickly. If you don't surrender, the attacking general comes in and slaughter the whole city!" Thousands of people shouted, which was quite loud and shocking. The sound went straight to the city, "Ah!..." The crying sounds loudly in Shouzhang City, like the hornets without a nest.

"Zhi Heng! Even these crooked melons and jujubes want to take over my birthday? Zhi Heng, the people in the city are too cowards..." Lei Heng was so angry that his or her orifices rose to heaven and sweated all over.

He shouted, "Have you summoned the garrison camp? Go out with me and kill all the turtles and yellow turtle bandits."

Several military marquises behind Lei Heng looked around and replied, "The four songs of the Shouzhang Guards and Guards are all in the garrison camp!"

Lei Heng raised his Pu Dao and shouted: "Go out of the city, drive away the thieves, and make contributions!"

Xiao Rang urgently stopped him, grabbed Lei Heng's arm and shouted: "The enemy's situation is not clear, how can we attack rashly?"

Lei Heng turned around and grinned: "The situation is still unclear? Look at the appearance of those crooked melons and dates. The eight hundred soldiers of my guards went out to drive them away, and the birds and beasts had long since dispersed."

Xiao Rang still refused to let go and shouted: "The situation is unclear and you cannot attack. What if there are ambushers outside and those outside are suspicious soldiers? There is still a firearm blasting camp of brothers Ling Zhen in the city, so why not discuss it with brothers Ling Zhen."

"Zhi Niang, what's the point of Ling Zhen's hiding in the barracks all day long? There are only a few military horses outside, and Xiao Rang's brothers are making a big deal." Lei Heng was tightly grasped by Xiao Rang, and he was very annoyed.

The call outside the city was even louder, and the Yellow Turban thieves shouted loudly: "Wu'na Guard, quickly offer the city! Dedicate the city quickly! If you have sex, come out and fight to the death! If you don't have sex, don't have sex, don't have sex!"

Lei Heng was furious and shouted, "Brother Xiao Rang, did you hear that? I asked me to offer the city. How could I swallow this? Just these thieves, crooked me up, make them so arrogant, and I'm so angry. I want to go out and kill them all... Don't worry, there will be no problem."

Xiao Rang still refused to let go and said, "We must defend the city. Just guard the city, why drive it away!"

The people in the city heard the outside cries, and the cries were even louder, crackling and shattering bottles and jars, and the sound of running around was even louder. Lei Heng shouted at Xiao Rang: "Listen, listen, if you don't drive away the Yellow Turban thieves, how can the people be stable? Brother Xiao Rang, just a few thieves, let me go and drive them away. At that time, how many remnants were we waiting for the guards, how many thieves had we captured? What kind of problems did we have? Think about it... How many troops did we strengthen when we captured the Yellow Turban? How many rebellious forces did they have?"

Of course, Xiao Rang remembered the sweetness that everyone had learned when the guards were just formed. He hesitated. Xiao Rang thought for a while and said, "Then so, I will inform the Ling Zhen brothers first. After the three of them met, they discussed. Brothers are driving them out of the city. How about it?"

"How long will it take to wait? In this way, you can call Brother Ling Zhen. I will lead the troops to drive these thieves back. How about it?" Lei Heng thought of the sweetness of the past and couldn't wait.

"No, I'll call Brother Ling Zhen, please guard the city!" Xiao Rang didn't dare to let go.

"Oh, noisy!" Lei Heng had a hot temper and threw Xiao Rang away. He stepped on the war horse, raised the Pu Dao high, and shouted everywhere: "The soldiers of the garrison camp, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are arrogant, and went out with me to drive them away, let them see how powerful our brothers are, and set off! Kill!"

"Kill!" The city gate opened in an instant, and the garrison soldiers roared everywhere, and their momentum was like a rainbow, and they rushed out of the city gate.
