As soon as Yunzhou regained a little vitality under Xu Yunyan Yifan's proper arrangements, an unexpected document was delivered to Xu Yunyan.
Seeing Liu Shishan's message asking him to escort grain and grass to the camp to supply the soldiers, Xu Yunyan touched his chin and felt a little embarrassed.
"How can we deal with this? There are only 600 soldiers in the entire Yunzhou, plus the government officials patrolling the streets, etc. What should we do?"
While Xu Yunyan was meditating here, the two Wang brothers once again came to Xu Yunyan's office.
"Captain, I was ordered to search the residences of those generals and get a lot of money. I also severely punished the local bullies. Now Yunzhou has finally settled down, and many people who were planning to flee have stopped leaving."
When the two Wang brothers said this, Xu Yunyan felt happy, "I didn't expect the residents here to be so reasonable. It just so happens that I have something to do with you two."
Xu Yunyan said and handed the document in his hand to the two Wang brothers, but the Wang brothers were a little embarrassed.
"Captain, this is difficult for both of us. It's okay if you let us fight and charge into battle, but you let us read the documents, haha."
The two laughed awkwardly here.
Xu Yunyan was stunned, "What? Are you two illiterate?"
This scene also surprised Xu Yunyan, but Xu Yunyan was not surprised for long when he saw the two people nodding and sighing.
"In this case, then you should work hard to find Brother Li, and we will discuss how to deal with this matter."
After the current and authoritative people in Yunzhou City gathered in front of Xu Yunyan, Xu Yunyan told them the letter he had obtained.
"What? How can we escort the food and grass with the few people we have? We were really tricked by Liu Shishan's rabble."
Li Changsheng said this directly, but the two Wang brothers were a little unhappy.
"I'm talking to Li Changsheng, you have to be careful when you speak. There are indeed rabbles, but you can't say that they are all rabble. We have also been among this rabble. Don't you think this is a good thing for yourself?" Are you scolding me too?"
I originally thought that the two Wang brothers were dissatisfied with Li Changsheng's suggestion that the mob would have some physical conflict with him, but they did not expect that they would be so tactful and said not to involve themselves. Xu Yunyan laughed.
"Okay, it doesn't matter what our brothers say, but we must not talk about these things outside. Now there is an order from the top of the mountain that we have to follow. We just took the opportunity to escort the food and grass and see if we can recruit some people along the way. Soldiers.
Let's do this, brother Changsheng, you and Wang Laifeng will stay in Yunzhou, one will be responsible for guarding, and the other will be responsible for public security. Wang Laiyun, take your hands and work with me to deliver food and grass to the frontline camp. Correspondingly, the civilians used money to recruit them. Didn't we get a lot of money by ransacking homes? "
When Xu Yunyan said this, Wang Laiyun was a little unhappy: "Captain, we have got this money with great difficulty. In the future, we will need money even to recruit troops and horses. It's so cheap. It's hard for these civilians to justify it."
Wang Laifeng's dissatisfied look made Xu Yunyan a little funny.
"Don't be so fussy about it. We have to give up to get something. If we don't spend some real money, why do we want these civilians to work hard for us?
What's more, if something unexpected happens on the road, a few hundred of us won't be able to cope with it. At that time, it won't be a big deal if the food and grass are destroyed, but a big problem on the front line will be a big deal! "
Xu Yunyan still showed his affection for Liu Heitai in front of several people here, but Li Changsheng muttered something beside him.
"It's understandable that such a mob would be defeated. I wish I could transform into the Tang Army and kill them all."
When Li Changsheng said this, the two Wang brothers looked concerned and acted honestly.
Just when Xu Yunyan was about to think that these two people had something to do with the city, Wang Laiyun was straight-tempered, "We all listen to the commander-in-chief. Even if the commander-in-chief asked us to surrender the Tang army, we would not say anything."
After these people expressed their different opinions, Wang Laifeng was still there and said nothing.
Maybe he is like this, or maybe he is hiding his clumsiness here.
Xu Yunyan didn't pay attention to this, but shook his hand, "Let's not talk about this. Let's complete the task at hand first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Xu Yunyan did not refute his words about joining the Tang army, but Li Changsheng's eyes flashed: "Captain!"
However, when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Xu Yunyan with a wave of his hand, "We only have this few manpower now. It is difficult to establish a foothold in this Yunzhou. Fortunately, it is stable now. If there are some foreign races, it will be a big trouble. Let's put it first The immediate matter is resolved.”
Seeing what Xu Yunyan said, Li Changsheng didn't say anything, and stepped aside and hugged Xu Yunyan, "Don't worry, Commander, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to Yunzhou. Don't worry, Commander."
Li Changsheng expressed his position. Wang Laifeng couldn't say anything but just stood there stupidly. He also clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Governor. I will cooperate with the people arranged by the Governor to guard Yunzhou City. Governor, please don't worry."
After the arrangements for the stay in Yunzhou were made, Xu Yunyan, accompanied by Wang Laiyun, led 300 soldiers and 500 recruited civilians to escort the grain and grass requested by Liu Shishan towards Liu Heitai's camp.
After leaving Yunzhou, Xu Yunyan drove his horse to the roadside and looked at Yunzhou City behind him with emotion.
And Wang Laiyun was accompanying him: "Captain, do we have any inappropriate arrangements? If there is anything, the governor will just give you instructions. I will go back and deliver the message now."
Xu Yunyan shook his head, "There's nothing inappropriate about the arrangement. I just took a look at Yunzhou. I didn't expect that I could become the governor of such a state at my age. It's just a twist of fate."
After finishing speaking, Xu Yunyan rode his horse forward quickly, leading the team to move forward quickly and slowly.
Behind Xu Yunyan, Wang Laiyun kept complimenting him, "The governor is really the reincarnation of Wei Huo. Presumably even Huo Qubing, who was granted the title of Lang Juxu, did not have such great power when the governor was such an age."
Wang Laiyun actually knew about Huo Qubing, which surprised Xu Yunyan, and while the two were chatting, they got further and further away from Yunzhou.
Far away in Chang'an, Longxi, Li Yuan, who was sitting on the throne, was furious when he heard that Li Yuanji had been defeated.
"Hateful! How is it possible that Liu Wuzhou, a general under his command, has such strength? Is Li Yuanji too stupid, or does he not know how to lead troops in war?"
Li Yuan's curse made the officials sitting in the court fearful, but when they heard that Li Yuanji had been defeated, Prince Li Jiancheng took a step forward.
"Father, it's better for your sons to send troops."
But just as Li Jiancheng finished speaking, Li Shimin also came out beside him.
"Father, it is better for me to go to war. Liu Wuzhou was defeated by me. Liu Heitao is nothing more than a local chicken and a dog under my command."
