1890. To Xiangyang Mansion
"Military Order!"
"Military Order!"
Soon, Wen Qi, Zhao Da, Ren Wei, Liu Tong and others rushed to the government office one after another. The county magistrate of Changge County could only stand in the corner.
He was an official of the Yuan Dynasty and served as the chief clerk of Changge County. Later, Changge County was broken. He was very unsuccessful before, but he survived because of his clean style. He was not directly removed like the county magistrate and other officials, and became the county magistrate of Changge County. After Chen Wenlong arrived, various new policies were spread to cities and towns throughout Nanjing Road at a very fast speed. He actually saw a good future for Changge County. He had some eyesight and knew that if the Song Dynasty court could always treat the people of the "base" like this, the base area would definitely flourish.
He also wants to realize his ambition to benefit one.
But unexpectedly, just now, the army on the front line suddenly retreated. Facing the Yuan army of the four major Khanate countries, there was no intention of defending the base area.
Of course he didn't want this to happen, but he was just a mere magistrate of the county magistrate Ge and a surrendered minister. What can he say?
At this moment, he stood in the corner of the lobby with his head slightly lowered, watching Wen Qi and others walking in, and his heart was filled with disappointment.
Everyone was here soon.
Wen Tianxiang did not intend to let the Changge County Magistrate go out. He sat down in the main seat and asked, "How are the soldiers in the army placed?"
"It's all settled." Wen Qi bowed and replied.
As he said that, he looked at the Changge County Magistrate, "This is thanks to the county magistrate who has freed up the place to resettle soldiers, otherwise he would not be able to resettle so many soldiers in the city alone."
The Changge County Magistrate came back to his senses and quickly bowed: "Shishou Wen is polite."
In fact, this is just a coincidence.
Due to the previous wars, many people in Changge County did not come back after moving north, and there were many vacant houses in the city. Some streets were even so small that there were only a few people left. So the county magistrate simply re-planned the residential buildings in the county, etc. to concentrate the population and facilitate management.
Wen Tianxiang and his team led the army to retreat, and the soldiers in the army could just live in the vacant area.
"Next, this order intends to stay in Changge County for a while. What do you think?" Wen Tianxiang nodded and said again.
Wen Qi, Yu Xingwen and others were quite surprised and confused about this.
Wen Qi said: "Why did the military order suddenly have this intention?"
Wen Tianxiang said: "In the past few days, the army of the four Khanate countries has been following us, and they are just the vanguard of the troops leaving the city. The army is focusing on consolidating and regaining lost territory. This order seems to be that they do not want to fight with us. In this case, it is of course a good thing to spend more time on the way. The east and west armies will not know when they will arrive. If we retreat directly to the frontier, we will have less choices."
Yu Xingwen and others nodded slightly when they heard this.
They all understand what Wen Tianxiang means.
Before the two armies of the east and west arrived, they needed to try not to confront the Yuan army. Now the Yuan army does not seem to have any plans to confront each other, so of course they can mediate more time on the road. When the four Khanate troops plan to take real action, it will not be too late to retreat. Anyway, the main forces of the four Khanate troops have not yet been followed.
In short, it is definitely a good thing for them to arrive at Tang, Deng and Cai later.
"Military Order..."
The Changge County Magistrate couldn't help but listened next to him, and finally made a sound.
Wen Tianxiang turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
The county magistrate hesitated slightly and said, "You must ask, are the army ready to withdraw from the territory of the Yuan Dynasty?"
He had just heard Wen Tianxiang say that both the east and west armies would retreat, thinking that the army would completely give up its attack on the Yuan Dynasty.
At his level, he cannot access this level of decision-making.
Wen Tianxiang just laughed and said, "Of course this won't be. Is the county magistrate worried that if our army retreats, Changge and other counties will be slaughtered?"
The county magistrate bowed and smiled bitterly, "This is not. Although Yuan is unrighteous, he is now in a situation where the rebels are everywhere, so he should not dare to commit murder."
Wen Tianxiang found it interesting, "Then what are you worried about?"
The county magistrate said: "It is not because of the concern of the officials, but I feel it's a pity. The Yuan policy is thousands of miles away from the current political policy. Changge County returns to the Yuan system, and is afraid that it will be restored to its original form."
Just two short sentences really made Wen Tianxiang look at the county magistrate with some admiration.
In this era, there were actually not many people who could have such insights. Many officials were studying hard and could not make any mistakes, especially in the Yuan Dynasty.
He nodded slightly and chuckled, "It's great that you can recognize the differences in policies. Don't worry, Changge County will sooner or later truly belong to our Song Dynasty."
Although these words are light, anyone can feel the deep confidence in Wen Tianxiang's words.
He knew Zhao Dongting very well.
Zhao Dongting asked the front line to prepare for a decisive battle at this moment, and was most likely to be sure to defeat the Yuan army.
Although the county magistrate did not know where Wen Tianxiang's confidence came from, he always felt better. At least, the army did not intend to give up this frontier base.
Afterwards, Wen Qi and others left one after another.
The army led by Wen Tianxiang was temporarily stationed in Changge County.
...
Song.
Xiangyang Prefecture.
It's dusk.
The hot season has passed, and by this evening, the temperature has dropped sharply.
A team of more than 2,000 soldiers appeared outside Xiangyang Prefecture, under the banner of the Jiangling Prefecture defenders.
Only the generals in the army were wearing dark armor, but the entire team still looked extremely dull.
More than ten men in black robes were guarding each other in front and behind the grain trucks.
The things guarded were transported from Changsha City before. Of course, Zhao Dongting was also in this team.
After this period of trekking, they finally arrived at Xiangyang Prefecture, a heavy city in the border. This "escort" can also reach the end.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Zhao Dongting has come to Xiangyang City. When he goes outside Xiangyang City, he looks like he can feel a certain atmosphere when he looks at the towering city.
This mighty city, which was guarded by Lu Wenhuan at that time, blocked the Yuan army for many days, carried too many things.
Of course, this must be quite related to his location on the northern border. The atmosphere and atmosphere of the border city are always different from those of the mainland cities.
"After a while, you are no longer a border town..."
Zhao Dongting rode his horse and followed the team slowly through the city gate, and a sentence slowly emerged from his heart.
As long as the Yuan Dynasty is broken, Xiangyang will be the real hinterland of the Song Dynasty.
The long grain transport team slowly entered Xiangyang City under the attention of many people.
Not far behind the team, there were old and young people riding horses, following without any haste. The girl looked like a fairy.
From Ningxiang County to Xiangyang Prefecture, Xu Fuxing and Cao Zhenwu had not left yet.
