When King An returned to the mansion in Cangzhou, General Liu Shen sent by the general army was besieging Yongning County.Yongning County, like Xilin County, has four gates in the south, east, north, and west. It is not easy to siege the city, and it is also not easy to siege the city.It is difficult to send fewer troops to each gate, and it is difficult to be effective, and sending more is wasteful.

As for the defenders of the city, although the difficulty of defending the city is not small, it is very easy to run away. Unless the army is overwhelming, otherwise as long as there are not enough numbers to surround the entire city airtight, they will easily run away.

Besides, the enemy's troops are not weak, even if they ran away openly, it would take a lot of effort to intercept them.

Yongning County has been occupied for several days, and the enemy soldiers have not moved, and there seems to be a tendency to hang around inside.

The current situation is that Yongning County is besieged on three sides, and only the north gate is unguarded.General Liu Shen wanted to let the enemy soldiers out of the city. Now attacking the city is destroying the property of his own country, and the cost of attacking the city is very high. Anyway, when they came, the people in the city had been slaughtered, and they could not be saved.

This day happened to be the end of the month, the moon had only one crescent, and the visibility was very low.

At midnight, with a "squeak", the North City Gate opened wide with the joint efforts of several enemy soldiers.In the silent night, the sound of the door opening could be heard far away.

The soldiers of our own side soon heard the horn of attack, and immediately finished their preparations, and marched in an orderly manner one by one.

In view of the fact that most of the enemy is light cavalry, this time the soldiers led by General Liu Can are mostly cavalry, which is convenient for pursuit.

One side wants to run away, and the other side tries to keep people as much as possible.The enemy soldiers will not know that there is an ambush ahead, but they are still sneaking into their pockets. They have to deviate from the main direction anyway, so as to at least reduce the loss of some people.

The enemy leaves at the touch of a finger, without even looking at those left behind.In this case, it is not wise to stop. Only by running out of the encirclement set up by General Liu Shen can they have any hope of surviving.

This wave of enemy soldiers trapped in Yongning County was too excited, otherwise they would just take their belongings and leave. They probably don't know where they are now.

They are the ones who are getting carried away, presumably after learning this lesson, they will learn to be good.

General Liu Can led more soldiers than Commander Chen, and he had already prepared for a long-distance pursuit.When the enemy soldiers rushed out of the encirclement, the formation had been broken up.The night is very dark, but it is convenient for the enemy soldiers to escape. After all, the range of the torches shining is not large, and they run too fast and are easily blown out by the wind.It is impossible not to light a torch. In such a dark night, without lighting tools, the enemy soldiers will escape after a few hits.

The cavalry all went to chase people, and the infantry stayed behind and entered Yongning County to check.

There were corpses lying everywhere in the city. Fortunately, it was a cold winter, otherwise the corpses would have stink after a few days. If no one cleaned them up, the plague would be rampant.But this is also cheaper for the enemy soldiers. It would be great if there is a way to have the best of both worlds that can hurt the enemy without hurting our own people. Unfortunately, such a beautiful thing has not happened.

At the beginning, the infantry didn't see a single living person. After the common people confirmed that they were their own people, they ran out of nowhere from unknown corners one by one.Finally, after counting, there are quite a few people who survived, almost half of them, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

The national strength of the Jin Dynasty lies there, and the grassland tribes also know that with their strength, the most they can do is to take advantage of the chaos and go south to grab some gold, silver and jewels. It is completely impossible to capture the Jin Dynasty, at least they don't have the strength yet.

Therefore, the main targets of the enemy soldiers were some small towns and Zhuangzi, and they plundered the villages only to raise food and find women.

When King An began to send soldiers to encircle and suppress the enemy soldiers vigorously, they stopped as soon as they saw it, took the looted money and hid in the mountains, followed the original mountain road, and prepared to go home in a very comfortable mood.

Who wants to meet them is the rain of arrows from the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty.No one is stupid, not to mention King An, even Ji Xuanhe would not rest assured that such a mountain road leads directly to Xilin County.

A fortress has been temporarily built at the entrance of the mountain road. It is very simple, but it is enough to block the enemy soldiers.Now the enemy soldiers are equivalent to crashing into the ambush circle, and it is not so simple to escape.

The soldiers of our own side vented a lot, and finally gave up the depression in their hearts.The entrance of the mountain road is very narrow and covered by trees. This is also the case. The soldiers who are responsible for guarding the border will ignore this point. Otherwise, the border is so easy to break through?

The enemy soldiers charged several times, but failed to break through the gate.Seeing that they couldn't do anything, they gave up their luggage one after another, abandoned their compatriots who were rushing ahead, and fled in all directions.Seeing the enemy running away, our own soldiers naturally wanted to pursue them. In the end, more than half of the enemy soldiers were beheaded, and a small number of them were left in the mountains.

This is a troublesome matter. The guards near the mountains have to patrol around. The enemy soldiers can catch one by one, and they regularly send people into the mountains to search.Because of the obvious difference between the two races, it is easy to find someone right away, even if you want to be fooled.

It is not easy for a large group of soldiers to cross the border, but it is easy for soldiers who are divided into twos and threes to pass through the border.After all, the border line is so long, it is impossible to take care of all places, and they can sneak back if they are not careful.That's all right, if you go back to the grassland, you won't pose a threat to the people of the Jin Dynasty.

The trouble is that there are fish that slip through the net, not a small number.After Xilin County got the news of the lifting of the ban, the people went into the mountains in groups. This time the inspection station finally had a place to play. They followed the people to protect them. individual enemy soldiers.

Ji Xuanhe didn't expect that he didn't have to do anything, as long as the city gate was closed, it would be over.However, his previous preparations were not wasted. At least most of the villagers were saved. This is the foundation for the development and growth of Xilin County. Without them, Xilin County would be over.

"My lord, the people outside have sent you a lot of things, do you see?"

"Let's go, I'll go and have a look." Ji Xuanhe understood what was going on, but he didn't like to collect people's things indiscriminately.

"Mother, is he the magistrate? He looks so young and handsome."

"Little girl, what do you know? You can't say such things outside in the future, be careful that you won't get married in the future."

The front gate of the county government office is now completely surrounded, and the village chiefs are directly opposite the gate, and the villagers close to the county town are on both sides. It is noisy, and Ji Xuanhe can't tell what they are talking about for a while.

"Jing Jing, this is Ji County Magistrate, you send someone out to speak, one sentence per person, how do adults listen?"

It quickly quieted down below. After discussing for a while, the village head and the head of the village sent a person forward and said, "Master Wang Baoshan, the county magistrate, is the head of the village in charge of Wangjia Village. This time, most of the villages in our county can escape the catastrophe. It's all thanks to you, my lord. These are the wishes of the grassroots, and I hope you can accept them." After speaking, he pointed to the large pile of items piled aside.

When Ji Xuanhe looked around, there was a lot of miscellaneous things, and he couldn't tell what was inside for a moment.He couldn't accept it hastily, and asked someone to go up and look at it carefully, and then Ji Xuanhe said: "Master Wang, I will accept these vegetables, meat and food, and you take the rest back. If I accept it this time These things will be difficult to deal with in the future, if someone sends similar things to your door again, will the official accept it or not?"

Li Chang Wang discussed with other village heads and Li Zhang, and finally decided to bring back those slightly valuable items as they were.They came to thank the magistrate, not to cause trouble for him.

Just because of this, many villages set up longevity tablets for Ji Xuanhe in the ancestral hall.Fortunately, Ji Xuanhe didn't know the news, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to sleep soundly?Ranking living people always feels creepy, even the Longevity Tablet cannot avoid the birth of this feeling.

Despite Ji Xuan and advance arrangements, several villages failed to escape the catastrophe, and suffered heavy losses of people and things.Ji Xuanhe sent yamen servants down to deal with these matters.In the few villages that suffered the catastrophe, the people who survived did not lack clothing and quilts, and most of their food and property were also preserved.People are gone, but even food and property are gone.

After counting the losses in the county, Ji Xuanhe immediately sent someone to report.The county government of Xilin County can handle the rescue of the villagers by itself, but those that need to be reported must be reported, and those that need to be applied should be applied for. The disaster relief materials allocated by the above, Ji Xuanhe accepts them with peace of mind, which in itself is what they deserve.There are many uses for food and money in the county government, so try not to use them if you can.

This was the first day of opening the city gate. After Ji Xuanhe had arranged everything properly, he went to bed early after dinner, and he didn't even enter the writing system.After a good night's sleep, Ji Xuanhe went to the government office in glory.

This night, everyone slept very deeply.He had been on tenterhooks before, but now except for some enemy soldiers hiding in the mountains and forests, there were no traces of enemy soldiers in Xilin County. Once he relaxed his mind, the external manifestation was a long sleep.

"Xia Xiancheng, reserve for wartime, keep some that can be stored for a long time and can be used in the future, and dispose of the easily damaged ones as much as possible, don't worry, take it out slowly." Ji Xuanhe looked at a long list The list, the eyes are a little blurred.

Xia Xiancheng took the order to go. He didn't need to do this kind of thing himself, he just needed to assign it to his subordinates, and he could follow up on the side.

"Zhou Butou, Xilin County has just returned to normal order, you should send more police officers to patrol in different areas. Those unclaimed foreigners, as long as they are in Gansu, you can send them back if they are nearby. After the identity verification, there is no problem. , let them go. If the identities do not match, they will be sent directly to the prefect of Linzhou Prefecture. If they are too far away, they will also be handed over to the prefect of Min, and let him handle it." Ji Xuanhe did not forget those people whose movements were restricted , the ones in this county were sent back yesterday, and the ones in other counties started to act today.

"Yes, this subordinate is going right now." Catcher Zhou moved quickly, and just as he finished speaking, he had already arrived at the entrance of the lobby.

Ji Xuanhe has not yet received the news that King An failed in the bid for the throne. As soon as the ban on Xilin County was lifted, the grain and oil stores and other important material stores that were restricted during the war returned to freedom, and the government no longer intervened in their operations.

The news of the new emperor's ascension cannot be concealed, but it can be delayed for a few days.
