Chao Lian also said, "The important thing is important, let''s talk about it later. No matter how you say it, you are a person who can stand alone, why can''t you control your emotions so much? You are not afraid of being laughed at by the people below."


    The guard general was so excited that he wiped away his snot and tears with the back of his hands.


    He burst into tears and laughed: "Look at jokes? Which **** dares to laugh at me? Whoever looks at them will break his claws and keep a memory."


    Not only did Chao Lian not respond, but frowned and persuaded: "Don''t break anyone''s claws at any time. Leading troops to fight cannot be achieved by brute force. Although military generals have always used military merit to convince people, and soldiers follow the general to make a chance to make meritorious contributions, you don''t treat soldiers as human beings and always threaten them. Even if they are afraid, they will not be convinced in their hearts, and they will even trip them up."


    The guard responded with a smile, without any displeasure.


    Although Chao Lian is several years younger than him in terms of age, the world of military generals is not based on age. When Duke Ziyi was still there, Chao Lian saved him twice. If it weren''t for Chao Lian, he would have changed his grave grass for countless rounds. Chao Lian reminded himself that he was also out of good intentions, and he accepted happily: "It''s not really interrupting, cough cough, just say it casually."


    Chao Lian said, "That''s even worse."


    It is easy to lose its majesty.


    Whether it is too violent and fierce or mingling with Wu Zu, it is too bad. Even if you have a good temper like your elder brother, remember to be responsible. The guard thought about it carefully and nodded. Fang Yan on one side interrupted the conversation between the two, and the guard also skipped the topic tacitly and enthusiastically welcomed the two into the city. Chao Lian also realized that his words were a bit out of line and stopped talking.


    "The Lord will go to the south to govern well over the years."


    This is Chao Lian’s biggest feeling after entering the city.


    The Shangnan County District is completely different from what I remember.


    The original city wall became a second inner city, which widened nearly half of the area, and the newly built city wall was thick and tall. On the basis of retaining the original layout, the buildings in the city are constantly being repaired and newly built. From the scale of the building, we can roughly infer the permanent population here.


    Even during the war, there were a lot of people in the city.


    When Chao Lian contacted his eldest nephew and his family letter, he would occasionally hear some news about Shangnan County. In addition to Shangnan County, several surrounding areas that were once protected by the elder brother were treated kindly. These are also one of the main reasons that prompted their brothers to return to Shen Tang. Shen Youli is impeccable in any aspect. After her elder brother left, she was the person who looked like her elder brother the most in the world.


    Following her is what my elder brother is willing to see.


    Fang Yan''s smile on his face had a little recollection: "It''s just that I haven''t come back for too long, and there are too many places that have become strangers. If no one leads me now, I''m afraid I can''t even find where to live."


    The two brothers did not settle in the old house back then.


    Let’s go back to the old place and wait until you repel the strong enemy.


    only-


    "Why are there only these people?"


    Chao Lian officially took over the military power of Shangnan County, and the original guards handed over the booklets of defense and manpower in various places. He just took a few rough glances and quickly came up with a few numbers in his heart. As he said that, he handed the booklet to the sixth brother Fang Yan, and Fang Yan frowned throughout the whole process.


    These men are not much worse than that of the past.


    But the problem is that Shangnan County has a large population. Judging from the scale of the expansion of the capital, the increase in population is quite considerable, and the corresponding garrison force should also increase. Fang Yan closed the booklet, quietly put it on the side, and looked straight at the guard with his black eyes.


    "What''s going on?"


    This amount of troops is nothing in normal times. Once the enemy leads a large number of elite troops to attack, Shangnan County may not be able to defend it. Realizing this, Fang Yan swept away the relaxed and comfortable feeling just now, and his lips were pressed down, and he was still powerful without anger. He assisted his elder brother at that time, not only a military advisor and counselor, but also accused the military camp rewards and punishments. Just one glance makes people''s scalp numb.


    The guard opened his mouth, as if there were difficulties.


    Fang Yan: "No matter what the difficulties are, why hasn''t such a big deal been reported to the Lord? Can you afford it if Shangnan is lost?"


    Everyone is all people who have struggled from troubled times.


    Who has not experienced one or two tragedies of massacre after living to this day? Can he know what disaster would the concealment of reports at this moment bring to Shangnan?


    "Since my elder brother entered Shangnan, I have not experienced any turmoil here for many years. Have you forgotten what the sea of ??corpses and blood looks like after a long time?" Fang Yan said a harsh sentence in anger and asked, "... Are you worthy of the elders and fellow villagers in Shangnan County?"


    Does he still remember how he survived? He relied on the life-saving food given by an old farmer in Shangnan County and waited for his elder brother in that breath! Not to mention repaying the kindness of a drop of water, we cannot repay the grudges of grudges, right? Fang Yan pressed his hand to the hilt of the sword.


    If there is any problem with the guardian—


    He did not hesitate to take action first and then complain before apologizing.


    The defender finally couldn''t hold it in, and told the truth that shocked Chao Lian and the others, saying, "It''s not that the general intentionally concealed it, but that the matter is really strange. I still wrote more soldiers in the book, but the number of people is actually smaller than this! All of this person escaped!"


    "Most of the soldiers are from Zhechong Mansion, how could it be..."


    Fang Yan and Chao Lian looked at each other.


    I don’t believe at all why it was “escape”.


    Can’t it be because the battle in Beimo that shakes the morale of the army?


    This is not right. Except for the rumors in the Battle of Beimo, Kang Guo was the upper hand at other times. The public opinion was staring at Wang Ting, and the common people did not move. Why did the soldiers from Zhechong Mansion escape? In addition, the soldiers of Zhechong Prefecture were also elite soldiers selected by Kang Guo, and it was impossible to easily become deserters.


    "Isn''t it really a temporary recruitment?"


    The guard said, "No."


    The newly recruited soldiers were in high spirits. They were all soldiers from Shangnan County, and their families and relatives and even the land they received were here, so they had no way to escape. However, then again, the soldiers who fled to Zhechong Mansion were also locals.


    This matter is strange.


    “Most of them have disappeared in recent days.”


    "Before that, everything was normal."


    "The last generals did not find any weirdness when they secretly visited. The soldiers seemed to have planned to escape long ago. They thought they were assassinated by the enemy, but the investigation found that they had left by themselves and did not notify or take away their relatives." How dare the guards make a big splash at this critical moment? He could only be careful to hide it, fearing that this would cause a large-scale mutiny.


    He was puzzled when he saw Chao Lian and the others'' faces solemn.


    "The Lord sent General Chao here, wasn''t it because of this?"


    The expressions of Chao Lian and the others are enough to show everything. It’s not because of this, and even Shen Tang has not received any news.


    The guard secretly took a breath of air conditioning.


    He asked in a low voice: "Is it still time now?"


    General Chao doesn’t seem to have enough manpower.


    Fang Yan made a quick decision: "How many aristocratic families are there in the city?"


    If you don’t have enough staff, borrow from them.


    Shangnan County has not been affected by the war for nearly 20 years. In addition to the original local gentry, many small tribes have also been moved. After the founding of Kangguo, they were cut off a wave of them, but only took away their land and the hidden tenants, and nothing else was moved.


    One family can get together, and you can get together three to five thousand people.


    The guard said, "There are all in the past."


    Fang Yan: "What else do you have to say? Don''t hesitate."


    The guard general said with a heart of arrogance: "Each family has a lot of complaints about the arrangements of the royal court, and I am afraid that I will not come to help save the situation this time."


    This involves the rules for the appointment of officials in Kang State.


    In principle, officials are all from other places, and even small clerks do not allow native people to take office in the local area, and the latter must be at least one county apart. The incumbent officials are not allowed to intermarry with the local area, nor are they allowed to take concubines, and the censor will stare at them.


    This move will help prevent the expansion of local snake power and to a certain extent avoid corruption in protecting each other, which is beneficial to the management of the Kang State court. This makes the local snake uncomfortable. During those years Gu Ren was in office, his wrists were soft and hard, and he restricted the forces of the local aristocratic families without completely angering them, which also gave benefits. Both sides found a delicate balance between the subject and the dodder. Compared with Wu Xian, Gu Ren was not so dependent on the aristocratic family and was much less subject to restraint.


    Local snake was unhappy but chose to take a step back.


    Gu Ren’s three father-in-laws all have no low reputation in Shangnan.


    The relationship is full of twists and turns, and it is also included in the southern local forces camp.


    Everyone prospers and loses together.


    It was Shen Tang''s turn to take office, everything changed.


    Fang Yan was so angry that he got up as soon as he heard this, and shouted in a low voice: "I''m confused, all confused! Are they all kicked in the brain by donkeys? Since they are dissatisfied, why didn''t they say a word before? Five or six years have passed, and now they are starting to make trouble and want to split up?"


    The guard general gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice.


    "This matter also has something to do with the military advisors."


    Fang Yan smiled angry and said, "It has something to do with me?"


    This was really caught off guard.


    The guard sighed secretly: "Listen to me."


    In the later stage of the Dragon Slaying Bureau, Ziyi and his brothers were poisoned by Huang Lie. The leaderless dragons in Shangnan County were seen in the territory. Seeing that the fight was about to begin, Longwu County sent someone to take Ziyi''s family away. Shangnan County is nominally under the jurisdiction of Shen Tang, but is actually autonomous. They hope to choose a backbone again, but they are frightened by Shen Tang''s troops and dare not be the leader. At this time, Chao Lian came back alive.


    Chao Lian helped Shen Tang to ensure the ownership of Shangnan County.


    As of this time, Shangnan County was still in charge of each company.


    Until Kang State was founded, new regulations were introduced.


    The face of Shangnan Family has turned green.


    At this time, how could they have time to put together and lift the table?


    For the sake of life, I can only swallow my anger.


    Safe and stable years do not mean that there is no anger in my heart.


    The guard general found that the soldier was missing and thought of this road at the first time. Out of caution, he inquired about it and came to the conclusion that it was better not to speak. If you open your mouth, these people might kneel first.


    Nothing is done, I only want Wu Xian to use it while Shen Youli is arrogant.


    Fang Yan and Chao Lian were so angry that they blackened their faces.


    His hands were trembling: "Which are they instigating this?"


    "This is unlikely." He has dealt with these local families a lot and knows their twisted personality. If Kang Guo was strong and strong, these people would not mind continuing their family under Kang Guo''s protection. No matter how bad they were, they would be better than the Buyi of Guizhou, but they would not refuse the opportunity to turn over and make a decision. It’s not to brag or to be silly. This group of people can do it by watching coldly and putting in trouble, and they won’t dig their own graves.


    Fang Yan took a long breath and exhaled turbid air.


    "You can kill those who have different intentions when you keep your integrity!" When you open your eyes again, there is only a cold murderous intent left in your eyes, and you will silence, "You can break up to the south, but the day when this place falls is also the time when their souls are broken. Instead of dying from the enemy''s random swords, it is better to keep your integrity and defend your dignity!"


    The defending general could not suppress these monsters and monsters.


    You can''t hold it back?


    I really left for so many years that they forgot about Fang Yan!


    Chao Lian also said, "Sixth Brother, I''ll go with you."


    Well, it’s not about to put a squad for my sixth brother.


    It is to make six brothers less killing. Otherwise, why did the eldest brother take his sixth brother wherever he went? Brother Six has been a doctor for too many years, which has made many people forget that he was playing with poison at the beginning. The whole family was poisoned and killed, but the watchdog was not left behind.


    Fang Yan''s movement has always been rapid and amazing.


    He brought people to the door without even drinking a sip of tea.


    It was not right to call him. He was obviously going to visit his old friend and borrowed some people from him to use it. He returned it after using it. He also took the initiative to take charge of these people''s chewing during this period, without providing food to old friends. Such sincerity, there is no reason not to agree.


    An old friend who heard the news: "..."


    Seeing the elite soldiers surrounding the doorstep, he closed his eyes hard and mistakenly thought he had hallucinations until Fang Yan went straight in to express his purpose. The old friend twitched hard, wishing that time would flow back. He must have been staying at home and said he was ill.


    Where is this to borrow someone?


    It’s clearly here to rob!


    Old friend tried to ponder and delay time.


    When he raised his eyes, he saw the impatient murderous intent in Fang Yan''s eyes. He suddenly felt a little cold. Before Fang Yan could speak, he smiled and pulled his relationship closer: "You and I have known each other for more than 20 years. Although we have not yet become a common man, we are also close friends. What do you say? I said back then that brother has difficulties. As long as it is a fool, I will say it bluntly, and no one can resist! There are still more than 700 people in the manor and the manor..."


    He wanted to keep half of the house guarding the house.


    As a result, Fang Yan interrupted him and was about to leave.


    Ah no, I left less than a hundred people for him.


    He opened his mouth to bargain, but saw Fang Yan get up, and the latter''s hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword. He was tactful and shut up.


    He is not afraid of others coming to play wildly.


    Fang Yan is different.


    This guy did many shameful things for Gu Ren back then, one sings blushing and the other sings blushing. So many people are gathered around the doorstep of their homes, and they are a little ignorant, and they are afraid they will become the one who kills the chicken to warn the monkey. My old friend could only grit his teeth and endure it.


    Fang Yan asked his old friend before leaving.


    “What do you think about the Lord?”


    The old friend squeezed out a stiff smile: "Mr. Shen is kind and righteous, loves the people as much as his son, and his heart is no less than that of Ziyi Gong back then."


    Fang Yan''s words were like a donkey.


    "Whether it is a noble family or a civilian who cultivates the fields, only when the world is stable can one reproduce and survive with peace of mind and have a future. If you ignore the hidden dangers of the future for a temporary profit, such short-sighted people will not live long."


    Fang Yan took people away to visit the next house.


    The old friend stood there and watched him.


    When my old friend came to his senses, his spine was filled with sweat.


    Not long after, the mansion manager came back from inquiring. All parts of the city were already guarded by Fang Yan, and the information was difficult to communicate with each other, so they could not collude. Before they could react, they all caught them in one go. Not cooperating?


    Some are ways to make life worse than death!


    The old friend wiped the sweat from his forehead.


    He murmured: "There is only a sign of this matter. Why did the person surnamed Shen know so quickly? He also sent Fang Yan?"
