The local bandit king Zhong died and his remaining troops were scattered.

Wei Shi simply took the surrender of the bandits as the guide and led his troops directly to the Wang Zhong bandit camp in Laojun Mountain.

Wang Zhong has been causing trouble in Nanyang for many years, and his accumulated wealth of silk, gold and silver will probably be gone. If he gets these stolen goods, Wei Shi will have the first batch of funds in Neixiang County.

At that time, when Wang Zhong was defeated, Wang was also talking to the second boss Wang Xian on Laojun Mountain.

Wang Xian is Wang Zhong's younger brother. Perhaps because of his younger age, his relationship with the Wang family is closer than that of Wang Zhong.

"Brother Xian, that boy from the Wei family set a trap last time, and Aguang lost his life because he didn't pay attention. Will it be the same this time?"

After Wang Zhong came down the mountain, Mrs. Wang became more and more uneasy.

Wei Shi's ruthlessness when he killed Cai Guang appeared in front of her eyes from time to time.

When Wang Xian heard what Wang said, he immediately became anxious.

All the troops on the mountain followed Wang Zhong down the mountain, leaving only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. The total number was less than 200. It would be a fool's errand for such a small number of people to hold on to the stronghold.

"Go down the mountain, pack your things, and come down quickly." Wang Xian ordered hurriedly.

However, since the news of Wang Zhong's defeat has not yet been sent back, the bandits are still hesitant. In addition, Laojun Mountain has been in business for many years, so it will not be easy to clean up.

The opportunity is fleeting.

When Wang Xian arrived, the Wang family had finally packed up and was about to go down the mountain when Wei Shi had already come over with his victorious troops.

When the two sides met, Wang was captured. Wei Shi hated this slutty woman so much that he picked up her bun and slashed her neck with a knife.

Three members of Cai Guang's family fought with Wei Shi for a long time, and all of them were killed.

When Wang Xian saw that the momentum was not right, he took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain of Laojun Mountain and got into the ravine without knowing where to go.

Wei Shi robbed Wang Zhong and Wang Xian's old lair and gained a lot.

The Wang brothers have worked so hard to save their fortune over the years, but instead of enjoying it themselves, Wei Shi has been given an advantage. This is really embarrassing.

Wei Shi won a great victory and took office.

When entering the city, the people from the inner countryside gave a rare welcome and greatly appreciated the team that had wiped out the rebellious bandits.

Wei Shi was excited when he received the praise, but within a few days of being happy, he frowned.

After Wei Yan helped Wei Shi defeat Wang Zhong, he came to bid farewell to Wei Shi on the grounds that Bo Liuyan, the head of the Xinye Prefecture, had a new mission.

Wei Shi tried his best to persuade him to stay, but he became more and more disdainful of Liu Yan.

The battle of Bowangpo has not yet started, there is no fighting in Xinye for the time being, and Wei Yan is idle when he returns. On the contrary, here in the inner countryside, although the local bandit Wang Zhong has been dispersed, there are still two big bandits, Hou Yin and Liao Hua.

Wang Xian fled. If Hou and Liao were inspired by him and invaded the inner countryside, then Wei Shi's rural soldiers alone would not be able to defend the city.

Wei Yan finally agreed to stay for another month after being persuaded by Wei Shi.

During this month, he will help Wei Shi recruit rural soldiers, select the best, train the team, and strive to enable the rural soldiers to independently assume the responsibility of defending the city.

How to make Wei Yan stay?

Wei Shi has no plan for the time being.

The county magistrate of Neixiang was vacant, and there was no county magistrate in any lower county. Wei Shi, the county captain who led the troops, became the actual leader of Neixiang County as soon as he took office.

According to the status level of later generations, Wei Shi jumped several levels in a row.

But according to the actual situation, this is not the case.

Neixiang County is a lower county under Nanyang County. There are only more than a thousand households in the county, and the population, including men, women and children, is less than 5,000.

In comparison, the total population of Xinye Shang County reached more than 30,000 people. The reason for such a large gap was mainly due to the great war between Cao and Zhang. People from Wancheng moved south one after another and poured into Xinye.

At the same time, under the governance of Wei Shi, the size of Yushuwan Village in Xinye County was almost the same as a pavilion. The population of the village, including weavers and kiln workers from several mills, was seven to eight hundred.

This does not include the public security situation, traffic conditions, economic development level, etc. of the two places.

In short, Wei Shi's title as county captain means he has a good name, but the actual benefits he can get are actually Liao Liao.

Neixiang County Government.

Wei Shi, who had just taken office, had red eyes. There was a pile of household registers and slips laid out in front of him. These things were scattered and disorderly, and the contents were inconsistent. It was not easy to sort out a result.

Wei Shi's men were short of talented people.

When they were in Yushuwan Village, Han Qiang and Song Yuniang helped Wei Shi with his accounts, weaving mills, and kilns. But now, with the pressure of affairs in Neixiang County, Han Qiang's small body can no longer support it. Can't live.

"Aqiang, please rest, your health is important."

"I will find someone to do everything in the county..."

Just when Wei Shi was in a panic, Wei Cheng rushed in excitedly to report that he had captured Wang Zhong's bandit strategist: Lou Gui from Nanyang in the Beixiang area.

When Wei Shi first heard this name, he felt it was very familiar.

It took a while to realize that Lou Gui was his elementary school teacher.

In history, this man is also a famous counselor.

Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought in the Tongguan battle. Cao Mengde was killed and had his robe and beard cut off. He almost died in the Yellow River. The war was also stalemate. In the end, it was Lou Gui who offered the "ice city" strategy to defeat Jin Ma Chao.

It's a pity that Lou Gui's ending was not good.

After this man became famous in Tongguan, he was re-employed by Cao Cao. However, he was reported by his colleague Xi Shou for privately criticizing Cao Cao and his son, and was unjustly killed by Cao Cao.

"Come, please invite Mr. Lou into the Yamen. No, I will greet you at the door in person."

Wei Shi was in an excited mood, but he was worried that there was no one around him. God just happened to send a talented counselor. Since Lou Gui is here, there is no need to leave.

It was also a coincidence that Lou Gui was arrested.

After going down the mountain, if he goes all the way north, he will soon reach the territory controlled by Cao Cao. In that case, Wei Cheng will not catch him.

But unfortunately, some of the bandits who escorted Lou Gui became evil after hearing that the stronghold was gone. They tied up Lou Gui while no one was around and robbed him of all his belongings.

When Wei Cheng found him, the Nanyang celebrity was lying in a hut beside the road, crying for help.

"Disciple Wei Shi, I have met Master Lou."

"Master Lou still remembers that Shi and Master Lou met for the first time ten years ago at the Jingshe in the east of Wancheng City..."

"Master Lou, I heard some time ago that the Nanyang Jingshe was destroyed in the war, and Master Lou disappeared without a trace. He is grieving in his heart. Who would have thought that today, God would be merciful and allow you and me, master and disciple, to meet each other."

Wei Shi talked about Master Lou and made Lou Gui confused. After a long time, he recalled that there was indeed such a student who studied in the monastery he founded.

Old Lou Gui blushed, hesitantly helped Wei Shi up and said, "It's not surprising if you don't know. To put it into detail, I have taught more than a hundred disciples, and you are the only one who saved my life."

Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu attacked each other and Wancheng was in chaos. Lou Gui overestimated his own abilities and felt that he could do something with his own abilities.

So, he ordered all directions, raised the big flag, and gathered a team of more than a thousand people.
