Feng Shiyan led his men into Wei County, and the situation in Wei County was quickly brought under effective control.

The Western Rong people were beaten and fled in panic.

Seeing that the Western Rong were being beaten to pieces, Feng Shiyan wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so he sent loud voices to walk through the streets and alleys shouting: "Those who lay down their weapons and surrender will not be killed. Those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy!"

"Those who lay down their weapons and surrender will not be killed. Those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy!"

"Those who lay down their weapons and surrender will not be killed. Those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy!"

If one Xirong man laid down his weapon, hundreds and thousands of Xirong men would lay down their weapons and surrender on the spot.

Those who refused to surrender fought with the Zhou troops and were eventually shot to death by arrows, hacked to death by swords, or escaped from Houshi Mountain in Wei County.

soon.

Wei County was taken control of by Feng Shiyan.

He summoned all the officials and soldiers of Wei County to learn about the casualties in Wei County.

After learning that the lieutenant general had killed the magistrate of Wei County and understanding the specific reasons, he did not blame the lieutenant general.

As the most important official in Wei County, he knew that the Western Rong people were cruel and bloodthirsty. Before the ammunition and food ran out, he did not think about how to defend the city. Instead, he thought about surrendering, which undermined the morale of our army and gave the Western Rong spies the opportunity to open the city gates, leading to the fall of Wei County. Such an official is indeed unworthy of being called a father.

But Wei County Magistrate was an official appointed by the imperial court after all. The lieutenant general did not control him but instead killed him. This was not right. Now was the time to recruit people, so Feng Shiyan punished him with three years' salary as a warning to others.

This time, Wei County suffered heavy losses.

Wei County Magistrate was beheaded.

The chief clerk of Wei County was seriously injured and the postmaster was killed in the battle.

The leadership team of Wei County needs to be reorganized, otherwise it will be detrimental to the post-war recovery work.

Feng Shiyan acted decisively and promoted the former county lieutenant to the position of county magistrate, who took the lead in the post-war reconstruction work. He also wrote to the court, asking it to arrange for a county magistrate to take up the post in Wei County as soon as possible.

But the post station in Wei County cannot be left unattended.

The post of postmaster has no rank, but it is an important position, especially during wartime.

Transmitting military intelligence, managing the transportation of military supplies, entertaining officials from various places, etc.

Hesitated again and again.

Feng Shiyan came to ask He Qiudi for his opinion, he wanted He Huaiping to take this position.

He Qiudi was very surprised.

After all, He Huaiping has no achievements.

Feng Shiyan gave his own reasons. Ever since the Western Rong people attacked, he found that He Huaiping was very skilled, meticulous, and good at managing logistics.

Although He Huaiping had no achievements and no military merits.

But in this war, He Huaiping made a great contribution. Even when the Western Rong attacked the city today and rescued Wei County, he also killed the enemies.

Now is the time to hire people, so there is no need to consider too many aspects.

He Qiudi knew that this was He Huaiping's opportunity.

Thinking of how He Huaiping had been attacked by the Western Rong people while building a military construction site before, she was worried that history would repeat itself, so she went to seek He Qingya's opinion.

He Qingya saw that He Qiudi had at least come to Wei County with Feng Shiyan, so she gritted her teeth, called her father and sixth uncle, and came along.

She never expected that her father would be so lucky.

"Aunt, this is Dad's fate. I won't make the decision for him. Let him make it himself. If we win this battle, Dad will be an official. If he dies, it is his fate."

He Qiudi nodded: "Yes, the situation this time is different from the last time. We should think on the bright side. If we pass this level, my second brother will be an official. This is something he got with his own ability, and no one can take it away."

In this way, He Qiudi and He Qingya gave the final decision to He Huaiping.

He Huaiping was completely stunned.

Postmaster!

Although he has no rank and holds a low-ranking official position, he is still an official no matter how small!

Just like his elder brother, he suddenly became an official!

He Huaibi was happy for him: "Second brother, please agree. This is a good opportunity. You have always been very capable. Since the adults asked you to be the postmaster, you will definitely be able to do a good job. Don't hesitate!"

He Huaiping finally woke up from his dream, and he bowed deeply to Feng Shiyan.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir."

Seeing that He Huaiping agreed, Feng Shiyan hurriedly helped him up, wrote him a letter of appointment, and stamped it with the seal of the Prince's Mansion.

He has a letter of appointment from the Prince's Mansion, which means he is a member of the Prince's Mansion.

Even though he was a newcomer, people from Wei County did not dare to offend him easily.

After arranging the general affairs of Wei County, it was already late.

The lieutenant general invited Feng Shiyan and his party to rest and have dinner at the county government office.

The county government office is currently the safest place in Wei County.

There's not much damage here.

After retaking Wei County, the first thing the lieutenant general did was to send people to the county government office to clean up and make arrangements.

Tonight, most of the important personnel will have dinner at the county government office and take a rest, and make other plans tomorrow.

After Wei Sixian and the others came back, they were terrified that the Western Rong people would break in when they had nowhere else to go. Fortunately, the Great Zhou army was very fast and the Western Rong people surrendered quickly.

They didn't dare go out.

I didn’t dare to clean up Old Mrs. Wei’s body.

Fortunately, in the afternoon, cousin Wei took advantage of no one's attention and carried back Mrs. Wei's body.

Wei Sixian no longer had a good face towards this nephew who abandoned her and other women in a critical moment.

Consider him to have a conscience.

He also knew to carry his grandmother's body back.

After they had arranged the disguise of Old Lady Wei, they coordinated her confession and told the public that when Old Lady Wei saw her son dead, she thought the city was broken and she had no way to survive, so she became depressed and hit her head and went to accompany her son first.

As for them, they wanted to set off later.

As a result, unexpectedly reinforcements arrived and the people of Wei County were rescued, so they didn't have to die.

Although this may seem like a cowardly explanation, it is the most reasonable explanation.

Wei Sixian thought this was more reasonable, so she let them tell outsiders this way.

Not long after, it was said that the lieutenant-general had arranged for people to come to the backyard of the county government office to clean up the house. Those who came were all servants, and they had no chance to tell the story of Old Lady Wei's death.

When the chief clerk and Feng Shiyan and others arrived at the county government office, they learned that Old Lady Wei had died.

The chief clerk and the lieutenant general turned pale.

What bad luck.

Feng Shiyan didn't take it seriously.

"The dead are the greatest. Since Old Lady Wei has died for her country, let's not pursue anything about the Wei family. Old Lady Wei is the elder after all. I will stay at the inn in the city tonight, just like the soldiers. There is no need to do anything special. Also, Lord He, please help your sister-in-law bury her mother and brothers."

What he meant was that County Magistrate Wei and Old Lady Wei were both dead.

The matter of County Magistrate Wei trying to escape from the battlefield will not be pursued any further.

He Huaiping clasped his hands together and saluted Feng Shiyan: "I obey your command."

Feng Shiyan looked at He Qiudi: "Qiudi, do you want to stay in the county government office, or go to the inn together?"

"I'll stay here."

After all, the Wei family is a relative of the He family. Her father and mother cannot make it to attend the funeral, so she, her second brother and her sixth brother are here to represent the He family.

Feng Shiyan nodded and led his people away.
