Li Yun smiled warmly and stood at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, personally announced that he had taken office and became the first Sixian County in Mao County.

The gentry and the people were in an uproar, and at the same time they were also talking. The contrast between Li Yunwen's attitudes before and after was a bit outrageous. No one knew what happened to Li Yunwen in the short time of entering the inner hall. Listening to Li Yunwen's speeches that were like inauguration speeches, most of the people turned their eyes to Liu Yu, who was standing behind Li Yunwen, and were guessing what this young man who could not guess with ordinary hearts did to Li Yunwen.

The latter legend has become popular, saying that the bandit's commander was a master of magical powers who knew witchcraft. This also explains why this bandit's combat power is extremely terrifying.

Li Yunwen took office as Si County, Mao County. With these bandits as a backing, he would start exercising the power of Si County, and his family would temporarily move to the county magistrate's mansion. Li Yunwen came to his parents, brothers, wife and children, and smiled and asked them to go back to pack up and move. His wife just put her tears in her eyes and walked up to her and seemed to ask a few questions. Then she heard Li Yunwen's scolding: "Women, why are you asking too much?"

The gentry and the people were even more surprised, because this scholar was not only famous for his honesty and mindfulness, but also loved his wife especially. He was also famous for Mao County.

Li Yunwen's wife He was originally a lady from the government. When Li Yunwen was still a down-and-out scholar, she admired his talent and made a lifelong life. This kind of private lifelong life is now a taboo. When a woman sued her, men must be imprisoned. However, He's family was still open. Besides, he didn't want to be embarrassed, so he took his daughter to the Li family with a dowry. Since then, Li Yunwen began to make a fortune and obeyed his wife. Today, Li Yunwen successively destroyed his principles. When the gentry and the people thought, perhaps this stupid man suddenly became enlightened.

It is better to be enlightened than to be unconscious. People think so. They don’t have good results when doing things right with powerful bandits. What principles, beliefs, integrity are all manifestations of being unconscious in the eyes of ordinary people. This has been the case since ancient times.

Si County was in charge of a county, and the responsibilities of the county magistrate were roughly the same as that of the county magistrate. It was not enough to rely on Si County alone, so Li Yunwen began to form his Si County Government and he personally chose the people. Anyone who was familiar with him would definitely hide far away. Li Yunwen could only rely on the old officials of the county magistrate's office.

The people dispersed. Liu Yu could finally take a rest in Mao County for a while. He had been very tired after sleeping in the open these days. At this time, the deputy commander and the right commander of the Imperial Guards, Lan Jing, came to see Liu Yu with several commanders. This was one of the few soldiers that this special force had been in since its establishment.

"Commander, how did you let the Li surname submit?" This is the most concerned issue for Liu Yu's subordinates. Although there were no outsiders present, they still used to call Liu Yu the Commander. This title is both novel and catchy.

"What's there to say about this? It's just telling him who we are."

The generals were surprised. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu would be heartbroken to someone he didn't know. Since he went south for nearly two months, Liu Yu has always emphasized that confidentiality is the most important thing.

"Are you not afraid that the man will leak the secret?" Lan Jing asked.

Liu Yu said: "If you plan to plan the land of Jiangyou, you must have a support. Although Maoxian is not a big city, it is also a good place to settle down. From here, there is Jingdu three hundred miles south, and from the north, there are Jiangshui dozens of miles north. You can attack and retreat or defend. We need a principled person to manage the relationship between Maoxian for us. Otherwise, once we leave Maoxian, the people will definitely close the city gate and not allow us to enter again."

Huo Bing clenched his fist and said, "They dare!"

"It is only temporary to convince the people with force. We must be convinced by virtue."

Because the Huai Army cavalry temporarily retreated to Lianzhou City, and the Jingwang army mobilized by King Jing was basically destroyed. Mao County is currently very safe, and Liu Yu did not rush to order an attack or retreat. Before receiving the new order to advance, the special forces also ushered in a rare opportunity to rest. Over the past few days, the special forces will be physically and mentally exhausted. The weapons are extremely damaged and need maintenance and renewal. Because this trip is light, there is no support or logistics support. The war-raising mode is used in Mao County. We must also focus on preparing rations for the next period of time.

There are people who are easy to do, and Li Yunwen's management will not require Liu Yu to worry about it.

Li Yunwen was still very effective in governing the local area. When the gentry saw Li Yunwen suddenly had a harmonious relationship with the bandits, they also changed from an original resistance and rejection attitude to a compliment. Everyone was afraid of his revenge afterwards. If he said some bad words to the bandit commander, then the person he said would be in great trouble. Therefore, the questions raised by Liu Yu and Li Yunwen about gunpowder and rations were also conveyed to the gentry in the city as soon as possible. The gentry immediately stated that the commander's request was their responsibility and went back to prepare immediately.

Huo Bing entered the city and burned all the grains in the city according to Liu Yu's instructions. Under the circumstances at that time, Liu Yu did not intend to let Huo Bing stay in Mao County for a long time. Burning the grain was a temporary measure. Now that there was a shortage of food, he could only "borrow" from the gentry for a while. Liu Yu also wrote an IOU. After listing the things "borrowed", Liu Yu also signed the name - "Commander". The gentry holding the IOU was amused and crying, and secretly scolded the ancestors of the "Commander" hundreds of times. Of course, these IOUs could be cashed later, and the gentry was reluctant to cash them. These were all precious wealth left to their descendants.

It was Laba Festival that night. The gentry wanted to prepare porridge for the bandits, but Liu Yu did not accept it. In the evening, the first snowfall in the Jiangyou area was in the winter. The heavy snow was rising, and the city of Shoma continued to go in and out. Liu Yu also attributed the situation in the entire Jiangyou area and was ready to launch a final counterattack against the Jingwang Army at any time.

Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu were discussing the final plan of march. Xu Xuanzhu asked: "Husband, is this too risky? We are now taking the initiative and can proceed step by step."

Liu Yu sighed: "The reason why Luoyang's defense line can still be held up is mainly because the Huai Army's Northern Route Army was suppressed by Xuzhou Cheng. Xuzhou City is now in danger and there is no more time for us to take steady steps."

Xu Xuanzhu couldn't help but worry when he thought that the new emperor was still in Xuzhou City. Judging from the information he had recovered over the past few days, the Huai army temporarily stopped after a period of fierce siege, and did not siege or evacuate. On the one hand, it might be that the Huai army was short of food. As for why the Huai army did not take advantage of the victory, the specific reason Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu were not clear yet. They didn't know that King Huai and Meng Chuliang were afraid that as long as he did not show up, they would abolish the emperor and establish another person at any time.
