Chapter 68
Xifengzhai ran away. This time, Ximiao City lost about 500 city guards, and the Hong family also lost a lot of guards.It's just that the plan of Xifengzhai fell through completely, and more than 1000 people were lost.In other words, less than half of the total number of people in Xifeng Village has gone.

The next day, the head of the Hong family approached the magistrate of Ximiao City and made a fuss.After all, apart from the city guards, the Hong family suffered the most damage in Ximiao City, but the government has no reason to compensate.

However, the news spread to Xihe City.

At that time, Yang Yichuan was still taking a nap, planning to recharge his batteries and continue to work in the afternoon.Now the second artillery has been manufactured, and it has been pulled out to fire a few shots this morning, and its power is not bad.

As a result, the news reached Li Ru, and of course Li Ru came to look for Yang Yichuan immediately.In any case, Xihe Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Yang Yichuan, and Ximiao City is the city under Yang Yichuan's rule.

When Yang Yichuan was woken up by Xiaoxiang, he was still in a daze. It's normal to get a little angry, let alone when he didn't get enough sleep.

"Xiaoxiang, what's the matter? If it's not something important, you'll be punished right?"

Xiaoxiang was also a little wronged, and a little anxious, it seemed that it was really not a trivial matter. "My lord, Mr. Li is here, he came in a hurry, he said there was something important, he told me to wake up your lord."

Yang Yichuan left the room in a hurry without even putting on his slippers, "Master Li, tell me, what's the matter?"

"Your Highness, Ximiao City was attacked last night, the east gate was breached, and about 500 city guards were killed or injured."

Yang Yichuan was a little dazed, and also a little scared. Damn, is the city so easy to break into? "Is it the northern plains cavalry?"

"No, yes, bandits from Xifengzhai." Li Ru felt a little ashamed as he said that, a city was easily breached by bandits, it was like a joke.

"Don't tell me, the current city guard army is so bad that even the bandits in Xifengzhai can easily defeat and break through the city, right?" Yang Yichuan's eyes widened. How bad is the city guard army of Ximiao City? , shouldn’t they be all old men and women?

"Yes, the people from Xifengzhai opened the city gate by cooperating with the inside and outside. Then, the people from Xifengzhai came out in full force, trying to rob the local big family, but failed and fled in the end."

"You mean, the people from Xifengzhai want to rob the big family's money?"

"Yes."

"It's really stupid."

"Cough cough." Hearing Yang Yichuan's comment, Li Ru unconsciously coughed twice.

"Your Highness, we should go to Ximiao City now. Anyway, Ximiao City is also under the jurisdiction of Your Highness."

"Going right now?"

"If you go now, you can arrive before night."

"Okay then, let's go tomorrow morning."

Li Ru doubted his ears a little bit. What kind of answer is this? Li Ru couldn't understand it.How can you be so capricious?
"Your Highness, it's better to go as soon as possible."

"I know, so we have to give the Xihe army time to prepare. We will go together tomorrow, and then clean up this Xifeng stronghold by the way."

Yang Yichuan said that there was no doubt about it, but Li Ru, the listener, had a heart.Speaking so casually, it seems that it can really be done, and the Xihe Army only has 1000 people?Can it really destroy Xifeng Village?Although Li Ru didn't know the art of war, he also knew a thing or two about military affairs. He definitely didn't believe that Yang Yichuan and Xihe Army could do it.

"Your Highness, are you really planning to use this Xihe Army to attack Xifeng Village?"

"It's nothing, you'll know when it's over." Yang Yichuan pretended to be mysterious, and set off tomorrow morning, although it would be a bit late, it was one night late, so there shouldn't be any accidents.

The next day, Yang Yichuan set off with more than 1000 Xihe troops.This is also the first time the Xihe Army "goed out", but it will never be the last time, and two cannons were pulled up.Originally, Yang Yichuan wanted to wait until the third cannon. After all, it was not yet a month, and the number of cannons was not enough.Now that something like this happened, there was no other way but to advance the time.If the number of artillery pieces is small, then play a few more rounds, and the effect should be similar.

When Yang Yichuan arrived in Ximiao City, of course someone had arranged a place for him. As for the Xihe Army, they set up camp outside the city. With Lin Tu around, they must be able to manage it.

Yang Yichuan was not in a hurry to attack this Xifeng village, but let Lin Tu understand the situation first, and then trained the city guards of Ximiao City. He was really lax.The city gate was robbed by bandits, and the casualties were heavy, which is really unreasonable.

Soon, the news was not limited to Xihe Prefecture, but spread to the mainland.Even though the West Wind Village has loosened its guard on the West Wind Canyon, no one dares to pass through at this time.The only way to spread this news is through the pigeons.

During the three days when Yang Yichuan led the Xihe Army to prepare in Ximiao City, the news spread all over the country, even to the capital, and even to the imperial palace.

"Western Wind Village, with only 3000 bandits, can actually charge into a city? If the Beiyuan cavalry invades, how can such a city guard defend it?"

"Has the Xiao family army brought by Xiao Muxue arrived in Ximiao City? Tell them not to act rashly. However, we must also step up the monitoring of Xifeng Village and not let our guard down."

Yang Tianci was naturally angry, but now it was not suitable to use a large number of troops against Xifeng Village. 5000 can be said to be the limit. If another 5000 were sent to suppress the bandits, the Xiao family army would send one-fifth of them to suppress the bandits, and the deterrent effect on the border would be reduced a lot.

Not only in the palace, but also in the streets and alleys, there are rumors like this, "The bandits in Xifeng Village are too bold, they dare to attack the city with only 3000 people?"

"The most important thing is that they successfully entered the city. The city guards of Ximiao City are really incompetent."

"I heard that His Majesty has already sent 5000 Xiao family troops to suppress the bandits. However, Xifeng Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Xiao Family Army may not be able to capture Xifeng Village."

"It's too bold, it's simply too bold. The country is not talking about the prosperity of the country and the people's safety, at least the people are living well. These bandits are really heinous. Can't they send a large army to pay them?"

……

The government and the public were shaken, and there were many discussions, but Yang Yichuan was at ease, and the originally planned "crusade" was postponed for another two days.Because Xiao Muxue and Xiao Muyuan's people were about to arrive, Yang Yichuan planned to wait until tomorrow when the two brought Xiao's army people here, before starting this "crusade".

Yang Yichuan wants to take this opportunity to make his name as a cannon, suppress Xiaoxiao's generation, and it will be a sharp weapon for guarding the frontier and defeating Beiyuan in the future.

"General Lin, how is the training of the city guards in Ximiao City?"

"Returning to Your Highness, there are still too few of them, and they have only just come into contact with each other. Although the city guards were quite dissatisfied at the beginning, after a battle with the Xihe Army, they are now convinced."

"That's good, train them well. But the number is still too small. It would be great if the families in Ximiao City could disband most of the guards and incorporate them into the city guard army." Yang Yichuan just said casually. I'm afraid it's not that easy to do this.In Xihe City, it was coercion and inducement. Only by using some means and then killing chickens to scare monkeys can this effect be achieved.

Yang Yichuan won't stay in Ximiao City for a long time, there is still a distance between them, and Yang Yichuan is not sure about turning Ximiao City Management into what Xihe City is now.Yang Yichuan knew that he had to take it step by step, first manage Xihe city well, and then radiate to the whole Xihe prefecture.
