The fire in the city lit up all night until the early morning of the next day that it gradually faded away.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, Ganling's soldiers and horses attacked the city overnight and sent light cavalry to chase Hu Chier who had abandoned the city and fled. The other bus cavalry began to suppress the riots in the city. The sound of soldiers and horses fighting in the city continued, and the chaos continued for the middle of the night. The chaos in the city was finally calmed down by Ganling.

Niu Fu Mansion

Standing in the position where Niu Fu sat high in the past, Gan Ling's mood was much calmer than at the beginning. Compared to the surprise and excitement when he heard the chaos in the city and attacked the city overnight, Gan Ling, who is sure to win, has a little more cautious about the people who are doing major events.

Outside the hall, three excited military officers arrived together.

"Sima, Hu Chier has been caught up by our light cavalry, and she still intends to resist stubbornly. She has been shot and killed by the light cavalry, and her head is here."

The first military officer to enter the hall was already speaking first, holding the head on the tray, and his excitement could not be concealed in his words.

When Gan Ling heard the news that Hu Chier had already given him the head, he also moved his heart. He immediately took steps, came down to the hall, came to the side of the military officer, reached out to separate the long hair that blocked the head in front of the head, and looked at it with a fixed eye. Isn’t this grinning head level Hu Chier himself?

Seeing that the enemy who had been in trouble with him in the past had died, Gan Ling felt a little more happy. He did not have the evil taste to humiliate a dead head and vent his anger, but waved his hand to order.

"The rebel Hu Chier faked the military order and killed the chief general. The crime is unforgivable. Now he has been granted the title of the head. He can pass the title of the entire army to serve as a warning to others!"

"promise!"

The military officer who offered Hu Chier's head was immediately accepted, turned around and walked out of the lobby quickly.

"Sima, the turmoil in various parts of the city has been settled, and the city gates have also been replaced with our soldiers to guard. As for the surrendered soldiers, Sima needs to make clear instructions."

After dealing with Hu Chier's head, another military officer also began to report to Ganling about the quelling of the city.

After listening to it, Gan Ling pondered for a moment and felt a break in his heart.

He said seriously:

"The soldiers in the city had just misbelieve Hu Chier's treacherous words, so they dared to be enemies with us. Now the traitors have been eliminated, and the rest are innocent. What's more, it's a troublesome now. We, the Liang people, need to work together, so how can we kill each other again?"

"You can lead troops to guard the arsenal in the city and the granary in all the important points. As for the matter of captives, they can serve me and I should go there to seek comfort in person!"

After receiving Gan Ling's order, the military officer immediately took the order and left.

When the third military officer arrived, he reported the situation of other soldiers.

"Sima, Dong Cheng's troops outside the city, did not lead the troops to join us after learning about our entry into the city. Instead, they led their troops to leave the camp overnight, circle the city, and retreated to the east. Will our army send troops to pursue him?"

When Gan Ling heard the news of Dong Cheng's troops leaving, he thought for a while, smiled for a moment, then waved his hand.

"Forget it, Dong Cheng had hesitated before and was defeated by me while he was defeated by the victory. This time, he must have been worried that I would take advantage of the situation to annex his troops, so he left in a hurry. Since he was heading east, he was going to join the troops of Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji. "

After saying that, Gan Ling turned around and walked towards the upper general position. On the side of the general position, a military map was hanging on a wooden frame. Gan Ling approached the map, and his eyes locked in Shan County, and began to spread to the nearby counties.

Now, Gan Ling took the opportunity to take down Shan County and control the remaining more than 10,000 Xiliang soldiers, as if he already had strong capital in his hands, but Gan Ling himself knew very well that after he got Niu Fu's troops, he would fall into a dilemma in Niu Fu's previous situation.

Luoyang in the east is broken and has no support. In addition, there are three lieutenants who are rushing back, and the enemy and friends are unknown, so this road is not working. The layers of mountains blocking the south are not a good way. Dayang in the north is guarded by Hedong County soldiers, so it is not easy to cross the river. Huayin in the west is also Duan Wei's soldiers and defeated Bingzhou soldiers. It is difficult to avoid them quietly.

As for collecting boats, boarding the boat and going upstream, going to the northeastern border of the river to join Yanxing, Ganling directly denied this plan. Not to mention the turbulent and dangerous shoals along the way, it was as usual. The soldiers of Liangzhou were not good at boats and oaring, and entering the river, they were like landslides, and Ganling did not dare to take this risk.

Looking at the cities and towns in various directions on the map, Ganling fell into melancholy and confused for a moment.

···

Hedong, Pi City.

"The lieutenant Yan Dian Nongshi has gone to Pingyang to preside over the military farming matters in the northern border. This is his policy strategy."

As usual, Xi Zhicai presented Yan Su's policy strategy of in charge of the internal affairs of military farms in the northern border on time. Yan Xing opened it and saw lines of vigorous and powerful handwriting in his eyes.

The first thing that Master Yan does to govern is to collect bones, register deaths, lose people, and measure land.

After years of war in the northeast of Hedong, major cities have been reclaimed one after another. Reclaiming bones, registering population, and measuring land are all first-hand data that should be mastered at the beginning of the government, and it is also to avoid the outbreak of the epidemic after the war and spreading to the entire northeast of Hedong.

The second thing is to describe the detailed matters of military farming.

The Xiliang Army of Yan Xing's troops initially used the name of resettling refugees to implement military farming in Jiangyi and Linfen, which simply and roughly seized the fertile land of fertile fields and forced the oxen and seeds of large households, and then drove Baibo's captives and some refugees to farm, so as to collect the food obtained at the end of the year as military rations.

This method is simple and effective in a short period of time, but is too rough, and has been criticized by many victims of Hedong's powerful men. Looking at the long run, this is not a long-term solution to continue to operate and expand its scale.

After that, with the help of the Yan army, Yan Xing's troops had an effective strategy. According to the principle of "opening rivers and canals, setting up fields, building houses, persuading farming, cultivating tree art, and engaging farming and weaving", the military farming system in Jiangyi and Linfen gradually got on the right track. In a few years, he explored a complete set of methods for military farming and trained a group of officials who could be responsible for military farming.

However, compared with the military farming in Linfen and Jiangyi, the military farming situation in several cities in northeastern Hedong is different. The military farming in Linfen and Jiangyi is more to attract refugees and resettle refugees. Now that the northern border is recovered, many of the original Baibo soldiers have been added under their rule. In addition, the situation with the Hedong County Government is tense, so the Yan Shi made corresponding detailed adjustments in the arrangement of military farming.

To be precise, it is to distinguish between civil and military camps.

The previous military farming was a 50 refugee refugee, and the village chief was responsible for setting up the village chief. The village chiefs in Linfen and Jiangyi were all led by Yan Shi.

Now, in addition to the previous civilian camps, the additional military camps are divided and dispersed with 100 Baibo soldiers, and are led by the army commanders. According to the principles of farming, practicing war in leisure, and being a soldier in war, and then according to the distribution of the region, they are assigned to the generals stationed in various cities.

The proportion of officials and civilians harvested at the end of the year is distributed according to the rules of borrowing official cattle, six officials and four civilians, and those who use private cattle, and officials and civilians. In addition, military camps are preferred to lend oxen, farm tools, and seeds, but in wartime, they are soldiers, and fathers die in the sons, and brothers die in the brothers and brothers, and they are not allowed to leave their lords.

After Yan Xing carefully read the military farming plan and arrangements of the northern border, he couldn't help but smile. Unexpectedly, the Hedong Prefect Wang Yi, a series of competitions against the northeast border, gave rise to the implementation of the military farming system in advance.

Mintun and military camps, Yan Shi and Yan Xing had already mentioned the first meeting in Hedong. However, although Yan Xing praised Yan Shi's far-reaching vision, he did not give a reply for a long time, but instead followed the process of this matter.

This is because Yan Xing considered the nature of the Xiliang soldiers and militias under his command, and was more like a professional soldier who belonged to his private command. If the military camp system was implemented according to the strict army plan, the military camp system was given to his soldiers, and the land and seeds were given to them during farming and military camps during wartime. When the time was not ripe, the military camp among these Xiliang soldiers who were licking blood on their heads would probably cause an uproar.

Now, the prefect of Hedong, Wang Yi, went with the flow and sent officials to serve in the northern border, transported food to provide relief to the victims, and fought for the people in the northern border. Yan Shi also took action to deal with the situation and simply included the surrendered Baibo soldiers and some Hedong people in the Western Liang army system in the form of military garrison system.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing smiled and said to Xi Zhicai:

"Hedong County Government has always criticized me as a storm captain for interfering in civil affairs. Now that we have the countermeasures of military camps, we are afraid that the prefect Wang will be furious in the mansion. I want to see how the officials he appointed to try to defend me can compete with my soldiers."

"Yan Dian's agricultural history has the talent of Xiao He, the wise man, and the ability to govern the people and govern the people is rare in the world. I really admire this move!"

Xi Zhicai was happy when he saw Yan Xing, and was not stingy to praise him. Yan Xing continued to watch.

The third thing Master Yan said is to start mining and iron smelting, reviving all industries, setting up markets, and connecting with the existing and non-existent strategies.

Originally, agriculture was the foundation of all industries. It had been wars and farmlands were abandoned. Yan Xing's Xiliang army even had military rations. Therefore, in addition to focusing on agriculture, the rule did not dare to divide manpower and material resources to take into account other matters.

Now that the Northern Territory has been recovered, there are many more craftsmen under their rule. If these craftsmen who rely on their superb skills make a living, they will not only be useless in their talents and waste their skills, but also will not be conducive to the comprehensive revival of the Northeast Hebei region that is in destruction.

Pingyang has iron ore, mining and smelting iron, and training armored staff, which is also an important military support for the Xiliang army. In addition, there are also materials such as making vehicles, arrow glue paint, feather feathers, wood, etc., which also require special craftsmen to divide the labor.

After the Chang'an Incident, the situation of confrontation between Hedong and Hedong County was like this. The channels for obtaining soldiers and armor from Niufu, Shaanxi County, have been cut off. The Xiliang soldiers competed for the heroes of armor and soldiers in the world. If the needs of soldiers and armor cannot be self-sufficient, it is also a troublesome. Yan Shi can see this in advance and start implementing it quickly, so Yan Xing is naturally happy to see it.

The two were eagerly discussing the internal affairs of the northeastern He River, and Zhou Liang hurried in from outside the hall.

"Won-sun, why are you so hurrying?"

When Yan Xing saw that Zhou Liang was jogging in, he knew that something big happened again. He quickly started to ask.

"It was an urgent report sent by the messenger sent by Gansima."

Zhou Liang quickly handed the urgent report to Yan Xing, and then added:

"According to the messenger's words, General Niu Zhonglang killed General Dong Zhonglang and was killed by his subordinate Hu Chier. Gansima took the opportunity to control Shan County and gathered the troops of Liangzhou. He was originally planning to attack Hedong north, but later he heard that Li Su had been killed by Lu Bu, so he turned west, intending to go west to Huayin, then to Zuofengyi, and finally Zhedaohe Northeastern border to join the army of the lieutenant!"

Yan Xing listened to Zhou Liang's words in his ears, and read Gan Ling's urgent report with all his eyes. Gan Ling briefly explained the internal situation of the turmoil in Shaanxi County and his dilemma of his troops, and finally explained the strategy of advancing westward.

After reading the emergency report, Zhou Liang and Yan Xing also began to ask:

"Captain, do you want to contact Gan Sima quickly?"

Yan Xing looked worried when he heard this and pondered for a moment.

"Since he has led his troops to advance westward, I am afraid that if he wants to find out his whereabouts, he will send out a few more messengers."

Xi Zhicai saw Yan Xing’s concerns, and he spoke to enlightenment.

"Hongnong's Li Su has been killed by Lu Bu, and only Duan Wei is left. Seeing that this person has done his previous actions, he has enough self-restraint and lacks in progress. As long as Gan Sima's soldiers do not attack Huayin, Duan Wei will never rashly block the Liangzhou soldiers who were formerly comrades."

Zhou Liang nodded too.

"What the history of the military planning is very clear. Duan Wei has his troops to protect himself. On the surface, he surrendered to the Chang'an court, but he refused to leave the garrison easily. It can be seen that he still has doubts about the Chang'an court. In this situation, it is impossible to send troops to intercept the Liangzhou troops who returned to the west and fight against Gansima. For Duan Wei, it is harmful but not beneficial."

After hearing the two of them, Yan Xing nodded slightly and said:

"Shusheng is a man of military knowledge. Since he chose to lead his troops westward, he must have certain confidence that he dared to take this risk."

Shan County, where Ganling's troops are stationed, is stuck on the main road between east and west. If they don't leave, when Li Jue and Guo Si's troops arrive, Ganling will definitely have a battle with them, with fewer victories and more defeats.

He attacked the southeastern border of Hedong with Yan Xing and attacked the prefect of Hedong from north to south. Although the chance of victory is not small, the southeastern border of Hedong will inevitably become broken. He lacks the banner of righteousness, loses the hearts of the scholars and people in Hedong, and loses the soldiers and takes down a broken Hedong County. This is obviously not what Yan Xing is willing to see.

Therefore, Ganling's choice to lead troops westward is a compromise.

Yan Xing looked at Zhou Liang and began to say:

"Send more envoys, be sure to tell Shusheng, let him act carefully and use troops steadily. I will send troops to join him in Zuo Fengyi."

Zhou Liang nodded and immediately turned around and arranged for the dispatch of an envoy.

After Zhou Liang left, Xi Zhicai also got up and came to Yan Xing's side. Yan Xing glanced at him and spoke in advance.
Chapter completed!
