Chapter 168 Arriving in Illinois
"Izhou is short of manpower, and the wind and sand are extremely strong, so it's a little messy, the county guard is not to blame!" Zhao Guangren said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, I didn't come to Yizhou to enjoy the blessing." Situ Changfeng said with a wave of his hand.

Entering the Sheriff's Mansion, together with Gongsun Feiyan's personal guards, a total of 300 people naturally separated to clean up.

The two found a clean place to sit down, and Zhao Guangren began to introduce the situation in Yizhou to him.

"Yizhou is lonely outside the Yumen Pass, and has never been valued by the court, and the Turks don't want to attack it, because it is really useless here.

After it is defeated, troops will be divided into guards, and it will also face revenge from Yumen Pass, so it has always existed.

The condition for the survival of Illinois is to rely on some taxes from past merchants. Because the taxes are not high, merchants like to come and settle. " Zhao Guangren introduced.

"Izhou currently has a population of [-] Tang people, Turkic and Tuyuhun people, [-] people from the Western Regions, and [-] guards.

But if they are guards, they are just guarding while farming, and the supplies provided by the court are really limited. "Zhao Guangren's expression darkened and he continued.

"So that's the case, why is the general willing to guard this place at such a young age." Situ Changfeng nodded in understanding, and then asked in puzzlement.

"The last general's family has lived here for hundreds of years. They have been the city guards of Yizhou for several generations. After my father died in battle, the last generals will naturally become the city guards." Zhao Guangren said with a sincere smile, He was not dissatisfied with his situation.

"General Zhao's family is really high-minded. This time, I brought a lot of supplies. We should be able to make some improvements. We will make arrangements for everyone in two days." Situ Changfeng said with admiration.

"It would be best if the county guard made such an arrangement. The general will call everyone to wait for your review tomorrow! General Mo's family has ancestral training, guarding the border for generations, and not participating in court disputes, that's why they have stayed here." Zhao Guangren explained with a smile road.

"It's really commendable, the former master is really admirable! As for the matter of summoning the soldiers, then I will trouble the general. I don't know anything about Yizhou. If there is anything wrong, please point it out." Situ Changfeng also expressed his opinion on this The young city guard was very satisfied, he was not as cunning as the older ones, and spoke directly and sincerely.

"The sheriff has a question, but the general will know everything!" Zhao Guangren must have felt good about Situ Changfeng, after all, everyone was about the same age, so he gave an affirmative answer.

"I don't know who the main enemy in Yizhou is? Turkic people?" Situ Changfeng asked in bewilderment.

"The county guard guessed right. It can be said that they are Turkic people or horse bandits. Turkic people and people from the Western Regions often pretend to be horse bandits and come to steal the people around Yizhou and trade in the past.

This is also the reason why Yizhou is becoming more and more desolate. Merchants from Datang rarely come to the Western Regions. Even if they come, they are some big families who have some relationship with the Western Regions. " Zhao Guangren introduced.

"Thank you General for clarifying the confusion. This way, I will be much clearer." After hearing this, Situ Changfeng felt that the fog in front of his eyes dissipated.

"You are welcome, as long as it is for the sake of Yizhou, I will be at the disposal of the county guard!" Zhao Guangren promised.

The two talked in detail, and both felt good and gained a lot.

Situ Changfeng arrived here for the first time, and was already very satisfied with the situation. After Zhao Guangren left, he thought carefully and made some plans before stopping.

After listening to Zhao Guangren's introduction, I also knew that Yizhou was not only not peaceful, but also quite dangerous, and there was a possibility of fighting at any time. On this trip, only A Niu was by his side.

Ah Niu can only fight to break the formation, the leader is not good enough, it can be said that he is fighting alone. Fortunately, this Zhao Guangren looks good and is familiar with Yizhou. As for whether he is particularly dependent, we will only see in the future.

…………

Early the next morning, Zhao Guangren came to meet Situ Changfeng and went to the military camp in the city.

"At the end of the day, I will see the county guards. I have 16 Yizhou city guards under my command. Except 500 guarding the city, the rest are here. There are 510 people in total." Zhao Guangren raised his weapon and said loudly.

"You have worked so hard to guard the border for the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court has not forgotten you, but it is beyond our reach. This time, when I come here, I specially bring the imperial court's condolences.

Zhao Chengshou! "Situ Changfeng looked at a group of weather-beaten men below, not to mention the simple equipment, even the weapons had wooden sticks, he couldn't help his nose sore, and said loudly.

"The end is here!" Zhao Guangren stepped forward, clasped his fists and responded loudly.

"Today's military service! Please arrange a rotation, and then let the lieutenant colonel and above officials discuss matters in the conference hall." Situ Changfeng said softly.

"Don't worry, the sheriff, the general will understand and make arrangements." Zhao Guangren replied with a nod.

Not long after Situ Changfeng entered the conference hall, Zhao Guangren brought six people in.

"See the sheriff!" After several people came in, they clasped their fists and saluted again.

"You are welcome, please introduce yourself!" Situ Changfeng stretched out his hand and invited a few people to sit down.

"The lower officer, Sima Gu Mingyan!"

"Xiaguan Yuan County Governor Bo Chen Shouru!"

"The next official marching master Bo Zhou Tingyang!"

"Lieutenant Zhou Qi, the last general!"

"The last captain, Fan Gang!"

"The last general, Colonel Miao Ming!"

"Everyone, please sit down. I am new here, and I will need more help from you in the future. At present, everyone is still performing their own duties. After I understand Yizhou, I will naturally have another important task!" Situ Changfeng said with a smile.

"The subordinates understand that they should do their best to protect Yizhou!"

"Okay! Today is to get to know everyone, and now we are celebrating outside in the labor force, everyone, go and have fun with everyone, Zhao Chengshou will stay for a while!" Situ Changfeng continued.

"This subordinate resigns!" Situ Changfeng didn't change everyone's positions, and made things difficult for others. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and walked out in a relaxed manner.

"I don't know what orders the county guard left behind for the last general!" Zhao Guangren asked in confusion.

"You and I are about the same age, Guangren, you don't have to be so restrained in private, just call a certain Brother Situ!" Situ Changfeng said kindly.

"Etiquette cannot be abolished, how can a general be indifferent to superiority and inferiority!" Zhao Guangren refused with a sullen face.

"Okay! In the future, you don't have to worry too much about private occasions. There are so many rules at such a young age." Situ Changfeng pretended not to look at his expression, and forced it to be established.

"Yes! The general obeys orders." Zhao Guangren smiled and nodded, expressing his understanding of Situ Changfeng's kindness.

"Brother Guangren, can you introduce Sima, Zhu Bo, and city officials just now, preferably big and small." Situ Changfeng asked expectantly.
