Compared with the disarray and bleak clouds of Yecheng, Fangtou can be said to be people's hearts and morale is as exciting as rainbows.

If we really talk about the actual gains of this war, it is actually not very brilliant. Especially compared with last year's successive victory, pushing the king's land directly from the Huai River to the north of the Yellow River directly. It can be said that it is insignificant.

However, if the confrontation escalates to the level of national destiny, it is difficult to measure whether the gains and losses are achieved by practical matters.

At least, after the war last year, although the king's victory was brilliant, there were still many voices, especially in Hebei. I felt that the king's victory was lucky. Shi Kan was just the second-rate general of Jie Kingdom, and Xiangguo, as the core of Jie Kingdom ruled by Jie Kingdom, was still in a serious civil war.

So many people think that the reason why the Huainan Kings Division was able to win the battle last year was that they did not encounter a real strong enemy on the one hand, and on the other hand, they took advantage of others' dangers. If you really want to talk about the actual combat effectiveness, especially in cavalry field battles, the Kings Division may not be as strong as possible.

However, this time the king's army came to Yecheng again and burned the Jie army camp. Once he could still be lucky, it did not mean that the Jie Kingdom was really weak. However, achieving such a battle for the second time means that the king's army has enough strength to replicate previous military achievements, which means that Yecheng, the so-called Hebei important area, is simply unprepared in front of the king's army in the south!

Of course, this conclusion is still biased. After all, there are many lucky factors for success this time. However, how many people who make a fuss about the country's power are real prime ministers?

The messages that the public can accept and understand are always the most shallow expressions. The fact that is before us is that no matter whether the Jie Kingdom is powerful or not, Yecheng, the original important town, has been repeatedly broken and trampled on! As for the hidden truth and reason, who cares? Who can know it all?

A chaste woman lost her fortune, and she couldn't bear it once, but it happened the second time. So what's the difference with a prostitute?

Therefore, with the continuous loss of Yecheng, although the Jie** team still maintained its strong combat power, in the eyes of many Hebei people, it was no different from the bitch who could do as much as possible. The majesty accumulated in the past year was even more severely defeated.

This is reflected in behavior, that is, as the results of this battle spread outward, a large number of Hebei villagers either directly or indirectly surrendered to various royal divisions.

In fact, when it comes to real battle captures, the Fangtou Kings did not gain much. Even the various materials used as baits that had previously hoarded Hewu were lost due to the fall of Hewu and the chaos of the army.

Moreover, there is no good deeds in beheading. The villagers fled in all directions. Ma Qiu's cavalry quickly moved out of the war, and the actual beheading of prisoners was only more than two thousand. If Xiang Jian's troops who died in Hewu were considered part of the royal army, the gains and losses would be almost equal.

The most dazzling contribution this time is undoubtedly the success of the sneak attack on Yecheng again, which is the military achievements of the Hanoi cavalry. Even the other side, as a concealer, did not engage in direct battles, after the subsequent collapse of the soldiers in Yecheng, recruited more than 3,000 live-streamed people to feast along the way.

The only thing that the King of Fangtou can praise is that he has successfully accepted several dock walls located around Fangtou, including Hewu. However, these dock walls are not considered a battle victory. They were originally nominally affiliated with Fangtou.

However, from Xie Ai to ordinary soldiers, I didn't think this battle was just futile. Although Ma Qiu's cavalry broke up early when they saw that the situation was not good, the war around Fangtou was not over.

Fangtou itself has more than 3,000 cavalry teams. Although it is a bit weak when facing Jieqi, it is more than enough to clean up the forces in the countryside.

Without the military threat from Yecheng, the cavalry of Fangtou conducted a thorough sweep of the surrounding rural areas. In addition, the Hanoi cavalry who successfully attacked Yecheng rushed to help in the battle. In just a few days, Fangtou, including the entire Ji County and half of the Wei County, had been cleaned up.

In the good situation, Xie Ai also showed his iron and fierce side. Whether the forces in the village seduced Jie Hu or participated in the besiege of Hewu, they would not be loyal or treacherous. They would first drive the people out of the countryside and expel them to the vicinity of Fangtou.

In the past few days alone, the cavalry of the royal army swept and drove out of Fangcheng City to more than 30,000 people. There were no more than 100 people around Fangtou and were not directly under the jurisdiction of the royal army!

The reason why this operation was so smooth was naturally because the military threat from Yecheng was already a complete vacuum, and the Fangtou King's Army was the largest and most powerful armed force in this realm. In this case, no matter who dares to take a sudden rebel against the King's Army, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and killing himself!

This is when the giants confront each other. Once the forces of both sides reach equilibrium, they dare not act rashly, and a large number of buffering forces will be born. However, when one of them suddenly collapses and the balance is broken, the remaining one will naturally have to take all the winners!

This is only part of the Fangtou King's Division obtained this time. Within the King's Division, Fangtou King's Division, as a centralized and coordinated hub, officially established its location as the core of various military towns in Hebei.

Xie Ai also used this to completely consolidate his position in the Governor's Office. As a royal general who came from behind, at least on the Hebei front, his status and role were slightly higher than that of the veterans.

It was not until more than ten days later that the situation around Fangtou returned to stability. However, this stability did not mean anything peaceful, but instead had a bit of solemn and silence. Because the rural forces who wandered in the countryside in previous years were almost completely wiped out during this period.

Outside the East and West Fangcheng, a large number of temporary shanty towns appeared, with wailings and crying from day to night. These are all the people in Hebei Township that have been swept out in recent times, most of which are Ding Zhuang, and most of them are the people involved in the previous three-color flag order.

There is no need to interrogate so many people, most of them were unintentional disasters and were implicated. As for those villagers who really colluded with Jiehu and besieged Hewu, a considerable number of them fled from their hometowns in advance because they were guilty and had the opportunity to see the opportunity early.

But in this case, who would give these people the opportunity to appeal for justice? Previously, they were separated from the legal system by relying on the subtle balance between the two armies, and were not a normal existence in itself. Now that the royal army is calm, how could they allow them to maintain their original state?

When many matters came to an end, Xie Ai finally appeared in front of these people. Although he was a Confucian scholar, he was now surrounded by white horses and silver armor, and strong soldiers and generals around him. Especially in this vast camp, the people's life and death were all in the same thought. When he walked through the camp, there was a shocking invisible evil spirit lingering around.

"I am a clever friend, my fellow villagers have really not followed the thief's rebellion..."

"We dare to be a royal army and be kind to the king, but we really don't dare..."

When Xie Ai appeared outside the camp, a large number of imprisoned townspeople rushed to the edge of the camp, knelt deep in the dust, and wailed in complaints.

Xie Ai did not respond to these wails one after another. He just went straight to the high platform standing on the open space in the center of the camp and climbed up the steps. He and the generals of Fangtou took out a list of soldiers to enter the camp and led the leaders of the village on the list to the front of the high platform.

Those people probably also understood that it was a critical moment that determined their fate. No matter whether they were in a big or not, they were all imprisoned now, and there was no room for bargaining. Even if they were ruthless and resentful to Xie Ai's turn against each other, they did not dare to force a fight for their relatives and their lives. They walked forward one by one, with a decent expression and sad expression.

After all the leaders of the village were gathered, Xie Ai stood up from the seat and walked to the front of the platform. Lin Gao looked down at the leaders of the village crawling in the dust below. He sighed for a long time, and then said sadly: "Why is the hometown feeling like this? Why is human feelings like this? Is it true that the kingly human relations have really disappeared from the Hebei country? The Jie Kingdom has been tyrannical for a few years, and can it wipe out the benevolence, loyalty and righteousness that has accumulated over the three generations of Xia? "

"In Yongjia, Hu disasters to China, the holy way is separated from the south of the world, and the people are suffering from harm. The righteous men of the king, who are swearing blood on the sword, dare to forget the hatred of the country and family, and dare to forget the blood relatives of the summers in the summers! Therefore, he is very hated, unable to sleep day and night, dare not sit idle, do not care about his elders, do not care about his wife, and do not care about his life, stay in the snow and drink the wind, and launch a northern expedition, only seeking the king's orders to be used in Hebei again, the king's way will prosper again, the blood relatives of the summers in Hebei are spared from Hu's abuse, and be mourn again!"

"Fortunately, the king's ministers were brave and the king's men were brave. The king used his life to kill the thief Jie and defeated many times. The commander Shen Dadi's power of thunder and rain was favorable to the dew. Because he was afraid that the king's etiquette would be lost in Hebei for a long time, the people would not be polite. Therefore, he ordered us to govern the people to do not rush to the public. The teachings should be slowed down. Because of the customs of the country, he would be cheaper. He would use three flags to guide the good according to the customs of the people."

"How do the villagers repay me? Collude with the thief Hu, attacked my border garrison, harmed my righteous men, disrupted my righteous spirit, and laughed at me benevolence and cowardice! You are all examples of the local sages in this area. Today, I have a hatred to ask, are the seeds of the Xia Dynasty dead in this area? Why do we regard the thief Jie as brothers and regard the king's army as a thief? In previous years, our soldiers have not been given a single iron to the people of the village. Now, we are in the northern expedition, and we will first invite the people of the village to look forward to it with kindness. Why do the villagers repay me like this?"

Xie Ai stood on the platform, waving his arms and asked questions over and over again. The faces of the townspeople under the platform were even more bitter. It can be said that most of the people present were innocent, and Xie Ai was clearly taking advantage of the issue this time, but on the one hand, the situation was pressing, and on the other hand, there was indeed such a matter. No one dared to refute it now.

"There is still a difference between virtuous and foolish people in Hebei. What's more, the people in Hebei have been humiliated by Jie Nu for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will raise these evil people in the countryside. However, many of my villagers are still full of loyalty and righteousness, longing for the king's rescue, and longing for the revival of the king's way. The king is ordered by the command of the great governor, and teaches our villagers to slow down the law and order, and have great kindness, which makes people grateful. However, the people in Hebei are suffering from the burden of evil and are ashamed to live with evil and are willing to be unified by the king's sect and do not dare to break away from the law and order..."

After a long time, the old voice of the township leaders was heard from the high platform. These township leaders could survive the troubled times, so how could they not have the same thoughts as this disaster?

Now, it is already a dream to think about being out of the law, unless Jie Hu can fight back directly to Fangtou and drive the king out of Hebei. But if Jie Kingdom really has such power, even Yecheng will not be trampled on again and again.

At present, at least the people around Fangtou have no room to wait and see. Instead of being surrounded and killed in the name of eliminating traitors, it is better to take the initiative to bow your head and accept the rule of the king with the people in Henan.

Of course, Xie Ai did not blindly establish his authority. After all the leaders of the village expressed their willingness to accept the rule of the king, he asked someone to bring Xiang Jian's orphan, a half-year-old boy, to carry up.

Xie Ai stepped forward and stroked the trembling young man's head, with a tone of grief: "In the past, Meng's mother chose a good neighbor. Your father was born in a chaotic situation and was abused by the Hu. He had to make a living by cruelty and accumulated a lot of bad reputation. But after the king's transformation, he reflected on his old mistakes, corrected his past mistakes, and safeguarded the people, and became loyal and wise. Although the boy lost his parents, he did not have to be alone and hurt himself. After the loyal and wise, the king's orders would be rewarded, and benevolence and righteousness would protect you to become a talent!"
