The resettlement of refugees has been taken care of by the court. Since the Central Plains disaster last year, the Northern Sui Dynasty has formulated various complete disaster relief systems. Except for major situations that need to be reported to Zhang Xuan, other matters have been discussed and decided by the important officials themselves.

This time Zhang Xuan went to Jiangdu for inspection. Zhou Wensheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was also accompanied by him. He had already visited Langya County to inspect the disaster and followed Zhang Xuan to Donghai County.

Not long after, **** hurried to the camp. Before the Northern Sui Dynasty moved the capital Zhongdu, the Qingzhou army made many major adjustments. In addition to the cancellation of the name of the Qingzhou army, many civilian officers following Zhang Xuan were appointed as officials in various places. For example, Pei Hong was appointed as the Zhongdu Order, Cui Yuanhan was appointed as the prefect of Gaomi County, Lu Qingyuan was appointed as Zhuo County City, and **** was also appointed as the governor of Qi County.

In this Xuzhou refugee incident, ****, who has rich experience, was sent by the court to Donghai County to be in charge of refugee resettlement. He had not seen the commander for a long time. **** was very excited. He stepped forward and bowed, "I am not sure about your highness!"

Zhang Xuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm right! Being a local official is more comfortable than a military camp, you kid has gained weight."

This sentence made Xu Yannian and Zhou Wensheng next to him startled. The two looked at each other. Is this still the King of Qi?

**** scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Why did your Highness say this?"

Zhang Xuan then realized that he was used to joking with everyone in the military camp, but he actually forgot that there were two people next to him. Zhang Xuan laughed dryly and said to the three of them: "Let's go to the big tent to sit!"

Not far away was the official tent. They came to a blank tent to sit down. Zhang Xuan smiled at the three of them and said, "You may not know yet. The day before yesterday, Yu Wen and his troops were sent into Donghai County to plunder food, but they were wiped out by ambushed cavalry on the west bank of Shushui."

The three of them were shocked, especially Xu Yannian's face turned pale. He was the prefect of Donghai County. He was the most worried that Yu Wenji's army would enter Donghai County. After half a year of fear, they still came.

Zhang Xuan looked at him and smiled and said, "Duke Xu, don't worry. Yu Wenhua is afraid of being killed by us in Huaihe River. He did not dare to take risks unless he had to. This time he sent troops to Donghai County, which also means that he could no longer hold on. I sent 30,000 cavalry to go south to prevent him from jumping over the wall."

Six thousand bandits were completely wiped out, and with the comfort of the King of Qi, Xu Yannian breathed a little relieved and said with lingering fear: "Since that's the case, why doesn't Your Highness work hard to wipe out this seriously sinful army?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "This is General Pei's mission to go south."

Zhang Xuan changed the topic and asked **** again: "Is there enough food to provide relief to the victims?"

**** hurriedly said: "Currently, we are in accordance with the seventh level of grain supply to provide disaster relief. We can support it for about a month and a half. We have written a report to the court and applied for additional disaster relief grain."

In the Northern Sui Dynasty disaster relief system, the disaster relief food was divided into nine levels, with the lowest level being the ninth level, and it could only barely survive. This was only started when the city was surrounded and the food was insufficient. It was generally the seventh level, that is, it was half full. If it was to wait for relief, it would be raised to the fifth level.

Zhang Xuan asked again: "Can refugees accept wild peas?"

This is the first time that a large-scale use of wild peas to provide disaster relief, and Zhang Xuan is also very concerned about the effectiveness of this kind of food use.

**** smiled bitterly, "They have no choice, it's much better than peeling the bark!"

As soon as he finished speaking, **** realized that he was wrong. He quickly added: "Report to Your Highness, we mixed wheat flour and pea flour, which accounted for about half each. For this reason, we specially sent people to investigate. Except for a small number of people complaining about the rough food, there was no objection."

"How many are the small number of people?" Zhang Xuan continued to ask again.

"About 30%."

This is consistent with Zhang Xuan's expectations. In addition, half of the people who dare not complain should not be used to wild peas, but judging from the order of the camp, everyone still accepted this kind of disaster relief food.

Zhang Xuan turned around and said to Zhou Wensheng: "You should investigate the situation carefully, gradually increase the amount of wild pea flour, and then write a detailed report. In the future, wild pea will be officially used as temporary disaster relief food. If it is labor-for-relief, then don't use wild pea. In short, the system must be gradually improved. We need to provide relief to refugees, but we must also consider our own ability to bear it."

**** felt a little strange in my heart. I should have told myself about this matter. How did Your Highness ask this Minister Zhou? He didn't dare to ask more questions.

But the answer was immediately revealed, and Zhang Xuan immediately said to ****: "You go to Jiangdu with me."

**** Immediately, His Highness asked him to go to Jiangdu, which is probably related to Jianghuai.

Just then, a noise suddenly came from outside. Zhang Xuan thought it was a refugee quarreling, but immediately found something wrong, and there were crying and screams.

Zhang Xuan quickly walked out of the tent and saw a group of soldiers walking towards him with more than a dozen bloody men, followed by thousands of refugees. Many people cried and stoned the dozen men, and the soldiers couldn't stop drinking.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Xuan's personal soldier Li Jun led the soldiers to run up and shouted loudly: "Don't move forward again!"

Hundreds of personal soldiers stopped the excited crowd.

At this time, Zhang Xuan came over, and a captain came forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, turned around and pointed at more than a dozen bloody men and said, "Master General, these dozen people are soldiers of Yu Wenji. After being defeated the day before yesterday, they fled to the refugee camp in Qushan County. They were recognized. The angry refugee was about to beat them to death and stopped them by us."

Only then did Zhang Xuan realize that these dozen people were enemy deserters defeated by Pei Xingyan.

He looked at the angry refugee crowd and ordered: "Behead these dozen people and put their heads in the refugee camp to show their heads."

Cheers suddenly rang around

In the afternoon, a cavalry team of more than a thousand people rushed to Qushan County under the leadership of Pei Xingyan.

The army was temporarily stationed outside the city, and Pei Xingyan hurried to the tent to pay homage to Zhang Xuan. Inside the tent, Zhang Xuan listened to Pei Xingyan's detailed report intently. He pondered for a moment and said, "What else did the people sent by Cui Zhao say?"

"They said that Yu Wenji's military rations were only enough to support ten days, so they took the risk of marching to Donghai County. Beizhi confirmed this from Yu Wen Zhiji's mouth."

Zhang Xuan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, pondering for a long time. He had realized that the opportunity to attack Yu Wenji was ripe. At the same time, Wang Shichong's opportunity to attack the Wagang Army was ripe. This is an opportunity to re-dividate the Central Plains. Will the Tang Dynasty participate?

According to Zhang Xuan's plan, after Jiangdu returns, he will concentrate his troops to wipe out Du Fuwei's army, recover the Jianghuai area, and then turn back to clean up Yu Culture and seize Xuzhou and the eastern part of the Central Plains.

But Yu Wenji's decline was much faster than he had expected before. If Du Fuwei was wiped out and then attacked the Central Plains, the time would probably be lost.

Zhang Xuan finally decided to change his plan, temporarily release Jiangdu, and concentrate his troops to deal with the changes in the Central Plains.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan asked Pei Xingyan: "If you were to station troops in Xiapi County, would your military rations and fodders keep up?"

Pei Xingyan thought for a while and said, "The soldiers' food is relatively sufficient, the key is that the forage is a bit insufficient."

"How many days can I support you?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"About ten days."

"That's not a big problem. There is still a little forage in the warehouse of Qushan County that can last for five days. I immediately ordered Beihai County to transport the forage for two months and can arrive in ten days."

Pei Xingyan was also a little excited, "Is Your Highness ready to attack Yu Wenji?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "If I had no idea what happened, Yu Wenhe would bet on his own and attack the Wagang Army with all his might, and he would definitely be completely wiped out by the Wagang Army. You don't care about Yu Wenhe and his troops will go north and occupy Pengcheng County first and seize all his supplies."

"Where is the Wagang Army?"

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "I will write a letter to Wang Shichong and invite him to hunt Wagang together."

Inside the prison car outside the tent, Yu Wen Zhiji's hair was disheveled, and she lowered her head weakly. Not far away, several children kept picking up stones and throwing them hard at him. Yu Wen Zhiji didn't want to guess his fate anymore, but he knew that he had no hope of survival, but it was just the difference between how to die.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came. Yu Wen Zhiji slowly raised his head and saw a very familiar person. Zhang Xuan appeared in front of him. His lips moved, but he couldn't speak, and his eyes showed a look of horror.

"I didn't expect we still have a chance to meet." Zhang Xuan sneered.

"I just regret not killing you in Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant back then!" Yuwen Zhiji finally broke out.

"Is that so, are you reminiscing about the past with me?" Zhang Xuan asked in discomfort.

Yuwen Zhiji sighed, "Give me some fun! Or give me a glass of poisonous wine, I will exchange the conditions with you."

"What other conditions can you have?"

"My brother will not fight the Wagang Army. He has already prepared a way out. Our Yuwen family has a large manor covering an area of ​​5,000 hectares. He will definitely escape there with his wealth and women." After saying that, Yuwen Zhiji looked at Zhang Xuan expectantly.

Zhang Xuan stared at him for a moment, turned around and said, "Come on a bottle of the strongest poisonous wine!"

Soon, the personal soldiers brought a small red bottle and presented it to Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan looked at the bottle and said to Yu Wen Zhiji: "This is the crane red. You can end your name as soon as possible, tell me!"

Yuwen Zhiji stared at the Hong Pingzi and gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty miles east of Juye County, Dongping County, there is a poplar manor next to Juyeze. There is a pier in the manor. If there is danger, you can quickly retreat into Juyeze. There is a large amount of food hidden in the manor and hundreds of strong men are also raised."

Zhang Xuan turned around and looked at Pei Xingyan, who immediately bowed and said, "I am going to arrange the army immediately!"

Zhang Xuan then threw the bottle into the prison car. Yu Wen Zhiji picked up the bottle tremblingly and looked around in despair. He drank the bottle of poisoned wine in one go, closed his eyes and lay down in the prison car. Soon, Yu Wen Zhiji and his seven orifices were bleeding and died in the prison car.

Zhang Xuan looked at him dead coldly, and then ordered: "Cut off his head, hang it in the refugee camp to publicly tell all the refugees that they will be able to go home soon."

At this moment, a soldier hurried over and handed a message from Su Wei to Zhang Xuan, "You are the ones sent by Zhongdu just sent."

Zhang Xuan opened the letter and looked at it. He was stunned. The Lu Chu family was caught by Wang Shichong while fleeing Luoyang and has been sentenced to interrogation.

Zhang Xuan immediately wrote a reply letter, demanding that Zhongdu use all his strength to avoid personal injury to Lu Chu and his family.
