With Zhang Liao's confirmation, Nan Xing let him organize the defense of the Northwest.She had been the second in command of the army herself, and she knew very well how important the lord's trust was to her generals.She used to hope to gain the full trust of Li Junshou, and to treat herself and others, and now Zhang Liao also hopes to do the same.Nan Xing doesn't mind giving her all her trust at this time --- at least on the surface.

Although the whole county is on alert, Yinping County can be regarded as peaceful except that the common people have some understanding of the conscription and some people even volunteered to join the army.The days passed as before, and the relief food and medical treatment that Nan Xing ordered to prepare in advance were no longer needed.

Unfortunately, this leisure was broken by Xun Yu's urgent letter.

"You said Wen Ruo was trapped in Yingchuan?" Guo Jia suddenly stood up from the table when he heard Nan Xing's words, "Didn't you bring a sergeant with you? Difficulty..."

"Yingchuan has been breached." Xi Zhicai continued with Guo Jia's words with a sullen face.They are all from Yingchuan County, everyone has a homeland complex, and their families are also in Yingchuan. Now that Yingchuan is broken, even if Xun Yu is not there, everyone can't help but worry, let alone Xun Yu who is the county prime minister. Trapped in the broken Yingchuan city.

Nan Xing sighed deeply. In fact, the letter did not mention the news that Yingchuan had been breached, only that the nearby military chaos might not be able to break through.However, no matter how fast the transmission speed of "Knowledge" is, it will take a long time to transmit the letter from Henan to Gansu in the war-torn cities, and the destruction of Yingchuan City is the predetermined end.

"I will lead my troops to bring Wen Ruo back." Nan Xing was silent for a moment, and said to the advisors and captains sitting below.

Her gaze was firm, and the aura of a general once swept everyone's hearts in an instant.Obviously, it is impossible for Nan Xing, who has been in the top position for a long time, to listen to anyone's persuasion at this time.She just issued a notice.

At this moment, everyone is deeply aware of what kind of leader their protagonist is.

It's almost like a born king... Guo Jia pondered in his heart, although he didn't agree with the sheriff's trial at this time.However, she was relieved when she heard that she was going to personally lead the troops to rescue Xun Yu.

Xun You thought the same way, but he had another hope, "My lord, I will go with you." The county guard didn't have many military advisers available, and his little uncle was besieged by rebels again. It's time to go with the army to break the siege.

Nan Xing shook his head disapprovingly at his thin and thin Juncheng, but was defeated by Xun You's stubborn eyes in the end.She also understands that Xun You is the best choice at the moment.Jia Xu's position is now on his side, but there is no guarantee that this person who is good at protecting himself will have any tricks, and he is not suitable to be brought in a military camp with complicated things.Guo Jiaxi Zhicai's health is not very good, and he is weaker than Xun You. He has just recuperated for a few months, so he can't just spend time on the road like this.

"Well, Prime Minister Xun Jun will be temporarily transferred to the army as a waiting officer, and the official duties will be handed over to the director of the drama." Nan Xing felt that Xi Zhicai's workload might be a bit heavy, and looked at Guo Jia who was fine, "Military commander offering wine------ "

Guo Jia sighed pretentiously, and agreed, "I understand --- I will help the chief bookkeeper handle the routine."

Nan Xing turned to look at Zhang Zhongjing, who was in charge of agricultural taxation -- Zhang Zhongjing would not go to the medical department to be a medical officer until she found a suitable man to take over his job.At this time, it is the growing season of winter wheat, and Zhang Zhongjing's work is very important, "I will leave you to the farmland."

Zhang Zhongjing nodded, "Now is the time to fertilize winter wheat. Please pay attention to the number of recruits." Now it seems that Nanxing does not have a large-scale conscription, but Zhang Zhongjing, who is scared by these noble sons who don't know the hardships of the people, still talks too much.Yinping County is different from other counties and counties. Winter is usually the time when the counties and counties conscript soldiers for hard labor.But there is winter wheat, and Yinping winter, when two crops of grain are planted a year, is the time when labor is in short supply.

Of course, that's not to say it's bad.Once the war with other counties and counties starts, Yinping can send troops during the autumn harvest, and attack when other counties and counties cannot recruit troops due to busy farming.

Nan Xing nodded, "I have ordered the corps leaders to carry out their own defense work, and no further conscription will be made. Our township bravery is much better than those refugees from the Yellow Turban Army." What about the villagers with padded jackets?What's more, it's winter in the Northwest. Even if those refugees come, they have to face the villagers who have been training collectively for a long time in this cold winter.

"It's just hitting a rock with an egg!"

Nan Xing smiled easily, and her emotions made the subordinates relax a little.Indeed, even if Xun Yu was really besieged, those refugees would not be able to rush into him who was protected by strong guards.

Leaving the official duties to Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, Nan Xing led a team of 3000 people to Yingchuan.The loss ratio of the current grain transportation is about one to one. The Xun family was born in Yingyin, Yingchuan, and is a prefect of the local county. It is quite far from Yinping across two states.In other words, if you lead troops to Yingyin, more food will be wasted on the way than transported.

Moreover, to leave Yinping County and pass through Badong County, which also belongs to the Yizhou Governor's Department, it is necessary to greet the Yizhou Governor and inform the chiefs of each county and state.The wasted time alone has lasted more than three months. If Xun Yu was besieged in some poor village, he would basically be declared starved to death.

But, if you have money, you can push ghosts.

Nan Xing asked his soldiers to dress up as his own caravan, put weapons into the merchandise, and set off in batches.Then, let Tang Shuo personally go to the Governor's Mansion of Yizhou Governor's Department, pay a large amount of "commercial tax", and rent the canal until Nanyang County and then go northeast into Yingchuan County.

Although they would pass through four counties on the way, they might have to pay "commercial taxes" four times, but Nan Xing's caravan had been traveling for many years, so it was not surprising that they had some connections. She ordered Tang to arrange it in advance.As for the test... Of course, Nan Xing, who is the sheriff, signed it for himself!

The current governor of Yizhou is frugal and wantonly amassed money in Yizhou, and his greed is prevalent, but Nan Xing didn't know where he was when he was managing accounts for Zhang Gui in Luoyang!For this small amount of money, Tang said that he didn't need to report it to her at all, and he could make up his own mind.

Xun You, who was temporarily serving as a military officer, was in charge of military discipline review and paperwork. At this time, he was also dressed as a businessman.When she saw Nan Xing's expenses for this trip, she sighed secretly about her lord's financial resources.He also came from a prominent family, and his family's wealth is unknown.It can be said that all the farmers in Yingyin are basically tenants of the Xun family. Standing on the wall of Yingyin and looking out, all the land in sight is the land of the Xun family.This point, even if most of the clansmen moved to Zitong, it didn't change at all.

However, Nan Xing's expenses this time were beyond their reach for a while.

The lights in the house are dim, and there is no need for brighter candles when going out, but low-key lighting of oil lamps.Space is limited, so Xun You temporarily works in the same cabin as Nan Xing.

At this time, after reading the report, he looked at the lord who was serious about the art of war with complicated eyes. Although his little lord was always considerate of the people, he was indeed a child of a wealthy family, and his money was really unpredictable.

"?" Nan Xing noticed his gaze, raised his head and gave him a puzzled look.

"Ahem." Xun You coughed twice, "Master, is this trip too expensive?" It's really too much, and it's not worth it!Although it was for his relatives and little uncle, he was very moved.However, as a counselor, he felt that it would be too much if it was just to buy people's hearts.

Nanxing only replied, "General Huangfu and General Zhu Jun have marched into Yingchuan to put down the rebellion." To be precise, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun each led an army, controlling the five schools, Sanhe knights and newly recruited troops. A total of more than 4 elite soldiers and warriors went to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan area.

Xun You suddenly understood that Nan Xing's trip this time not only wanted to bring Xun Yu back, but also to make some military achievements before the court solved the Yellow Turban Bandits.

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Yingyin, the land of the Xun clan.

In front of Xun's ancestral hall, Xun Yu asked the guards who came with him to patrol around the clan grounds in groups of ten.On the other hand, he was cautious and appeased the clansmen in the ancestral hall.

Although it was impossible to send the letter at this time, he believed that Nan Xing and the others would be able to deduce the situation here from his last letter and come to rescue.And what I can do is to lead the few remaining clansmen to persist until the arrival of the army.

"Patriarch." The servant who delivered the message hurried over, bypassing the clan elders who were full of ancestral halls and went straight to Xun Yu, "The imperial court has ordered General Huangfu to go east to relieve the siege of Yingchuan."

The clan elders were not angry because of the servant's actions, although the young patriarch was far away in Yinping before, and moved most of the people to the county of Yinping County, which made some clansmen dissatisfied.But some time ago, his steady and calm really saved everyone in the chaotic Yingyin, and now no one will be so confused as to oppose the grandson of the former head of the family.

"Well, I see. The news came from the guard?"

"Yes, the news from the scouts in the guards you brought." In fact, the servant was also surprised, since Yingyin had been besieged by mobs, and the scouts hadn't left the clan, so where did the news come from?

Xun Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, and turned his head to say to the clan elders, "Don't worry, clan elders, the lord has arrived. The reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive soon." The only disadvantage of Feige's transmission of letters is that it cannot be too long.Moreover, the number of flying pigeons in Nan Xing's hands is not too many, all of them are brought with him or raised in Yinping.If you can receive news at this time, you can only think of Feige passing on the letter.

And no matter what the message was, the appearance of a flying pigeon with a password that only military scouts could understand meant that Nan Xing himself had arrived in a county not far away.

As for General Huangfu... Xun Yu thought he was a good general, but he mainly dealt with the rebels in Yingchuan, and it was unknown when he would be able to solve the siege of Yingyin.Still the lord is trustworthy.

The elders in the clan breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.Looking at Xun Yu's eyes became more complicated. The once humble and polite child has grown into a qualified Xun family head.

At this time, Nan Xing was gathering the soldiers who had arrived, and marched to Yingchuan.
