Huge busy!

This is the biggest feeling after Xiang Kang successfully took over Xiaxiang County! The army needs to find Xiang Kang for food, drink, defecation and urination, the army that takes over the city defense needs to find Xiang Kang, the army deployment needs to find Xiang Kang, how to clean up the remaining enemies in the city and how to clean the battlefield, and the various aftermath problems after taking over the county and county prisons, the county and county jails need to find Xiang Kang, the prisoners’ reorganization and dismissal and military expansion issues need to find Xiang Kang, how to distribute rewards need to find Xiang Kang, how to appease the people and re-establish the order in the city also need to find Xiang Kang! Without much specific experience, Xiang Kang is a time traveler, and he is inevitably busy, busy in the sky and the earth, and the sun and the moon are gone, and he wishes he could grow eight heads and eighteen hands, plus thirty-six legs, so that he could handle so many problems.

Fortunately, Zhou County Magistrate Zhou, who was tied up with Xiang Kang's chariot, was once the leading talent in internal affairs. He helped Xiang Kang a lot in appeasement, rebuilding the city order and taking over the county temple. He helped Xiang Kang to provide the list and relieve the people in an orderly manner, counting the documents and grains of the county temples in L County, and also helped Xiang Kang rebuild the left and right ranks and escorting new recruits, which shared a lot of pressure on Xiang Kang and allowed Xiang Kang to free up his hands and concentrate on dealing with the most important military issues at present.

Of course, on internal affairs, Xiang Kang, a time traveler, did not do anything. When he was on the list to calm the people, Xiang Kang copied the three rules that Liu Laosan had made in Guanzhong without any politeness, announced the abolition of the harsh and complicated old Qin laws, and made three rules with the people of Xiaxiang - those who killed people died, those who injured people were punished, and those who thieves were punished! The result is not to mention that after these three simple laws were announced, the people in Xiaxiang City who had been tortured by Qin Law were really relieved. Although they did not really support Xiang Kangjun, who had just occupied Xiaxiang County, they also had a good impression of Xiang Kangjun, and they hoped that Xiang Kang could fulfill his promise and let them live a few days of relaxed life.

In terms of military affairs, it is easy to take over the city defense. The more than a dozen children of the Xiang family, who have no tests, can just take four out and take the army to firmly grasp the four gates and ensure control of the city gate. At the same time, there are enough people to control the key points in the city with the army, so there is no need to worry about internal fires causing disasters. In addition, in order to appease the people and strictly enforce military discipline, Xiang Kang also executed three soldiers who plundered the people's wealth and raped the women in public without hesitation. Then, the three soldiers' contributions to the siege of the city were announced in public, and the rewards they deserved were distributed to their families to win the morale of the army.

The security in the city was handed over by Xiang Kang to the right-hand assistant of Zhou County Magistrate Zhou, who voluntarily surrendered, and the deputy was a bad friend who had just been released from prison by Xiang Kangjun. This bad friend who was almost taken to Mount Li to do lifelong hard labor was just released with other misdemeanor prisoners. He immediately ran to the gate of the county temple to ask for his service to Xiang Kang. After Xiang Kang learned about the process and reason of his torture, he immediately entrusted the important task to use his expertise in wanting theft and maintaining public order, and also used him to secretly monitor Sun Prison, who was still unknown to him.

The major issue of recruitment was handed over by Xiang Kang to Xiang Zhuang and Feng Zhong. Although Xiang Kang knew that elite soldiers were the most important, there was no way. Time waited for others. The counterattack of the Qin army in the surrounding areas was imminent. Xiang Kang could only pick up the basket and ask Xiang Zhuang and Feng Zhong to recruit as many adult men as possible to join the army, expand the scale of their own army, and also incorporate all the prisoners who were willing to surrender and join the army. There was no time to strictly train them. The recruitment was immediately organized into an army, ready to go to the battlefield to listen at any time.

Fortunately, there are still some food reserves in the county warehouse. Even if half of the food is to be taken out to reward the soldiers participating in the siege, the remaining half is enough for the army to eat for a month. At the same time, the autumn harvest is imminent. As long as the grain collection system can be established again before the autumn harvest, Xiang Kang does not need to worry about insufficient food - of course, the premise is that Xiang Kang's army can survive the first round of counterattack of the Qin army, and then it is possible to collect grain and supply it to the army.

There are still some weapons in the county warehouse. Although not many, they can barely arm three or four hundred people. However, Xiang Kang certainly would not be satisfied. The situation in the city has just stabilized. Xiang Kang made room in the county town and concentrated all necessary materials to start smelting steel and building weapons. At the same time, Xiang Kang sent Xiang Guan to lead a team of 100 people back to Shilingting Pavilion to welcome the two aunts and the remaining supplies from the blacksmith shop back to the city. Xiang Kang also ordered Xiang Guan: "Brother, bring the Yu family into the city by the way. If they don't want to come, you tell them that I have done such a big thing, and the tyrannical court will not spare them no matter what. If they persist, they will bear all the consequences."

When Xiang Guan was taking the order, it was already the afternoon of the fifth day of the July 2018. Xiang Kang, who had not closed his eyes for one night, was young and could not resist too much work. He couldn't help but crawl on the desk and fell asleep. Zhou Zeng, Xiang Yang, Xiang Ta and others who were helping next to him knew that Xiang Kang was tired, and they also had the heart to wake up Xiang Kang. Xiang Yang took a piece of clothing and put it on Xiang Kang, and then they whispered to discuss some small matters. During this period, Sun Yu had something to come in to report, but Zhou Zeng kept his mouth shut with his eyes.

They all wanted Xiang Kang to rest for a while, but they thought it would not take long, but Xiang Kang suddenly woke up with a scream. Xiang Da hurriedly asked, "Uncle Ji, what's wrong?"

"I had a dream." Xiang Kang said truthfully: "I dreamed that there were two people who killed two captains and led a large group of garrison soldiers to call kings, princes, generals and ministers. Is it better to have a genius."

"How to have such a strange dream?" Xiang Ta heard it confusedly and said in confusion: "Why would you rather have a king, prince, general, and minister? Didn't you take the lead in shouting?"

Xiang Kang smiled bitterly and refused to answer, because Xiang Kang had not finished the strange dream he had just had just had. In the dream, the two men took the lead and called the king, prince, general, and minister Ning, and then came to Xiang Kang with a sword to fight desperately, insisting on Xiang Kang giving him any copyright fees, and saying that they would sue Xiang Kang for plagiarism. Xiang Kang, who had done too much trouble, was so scared to wake up.

Shaking his head and trying to put the content of the strange dream behind his head. Xiang Kang noticed that Sun Yushu had also come to the lobby of the county temple. When he quickly asked what happened, Sun Yushu replied: "Report to Mr. Xiang, it's like this. Cang Pi and the others caught a bandit who was robbed in chaos. According to the tyrannical Qin Code, the bandit should have been tattooed and sent to Mount Li for hard labor, but it is definitely not possible now. How should we deal with it specifically? Please inform me."

"You can discuss this with Uncle Ya." Xiang Kang said casually: "If possible, you'd better create a new set of sentencing standards so that we can handle cases according to law in the future. Also, you don't need any brutal punishment of cutting hands and feet. If your hands and feet are broken, you can't grow. Change it to a rifle."

The Sun Juezhuo agreed, and was eager to try it and immediately wanted to formulate a new sentencing system with Zhou Zeng. Unfortunately, Xiang Kang did not give Sun Juezhuozhuo and Zhou Zeng the opportunity, and asked Zhou Zeng again: "Uncle Ya, ask me something. If you are still in the office of the magistrate of Xiaxiang County and receive a request for help from Gongxian County or the magistrate, it is said that someone gathered a group to raise an uprising and led the crowd to besiege Gongxian County or the county town of Gongxian, would you send reinforcements to reinforce? If you were sent, how many troops would you send? Will you send reinforcements within a few days?"

Knowing that Xiang Kang wanted to analyze when Tongxian and the enemy who were in charge of the attack, Zhou Zeng carefully considered it for a while before answering: "Report to Mr. Xiang, I will meet with the opportunity to act. If I know that there are not many enemies who besieged Tongxian or the enemy, there are only about six or seven hundred people, I will assemble an army of about a thousand people to reinforce in the shortest time. Among them, it will take about two days to recruit and assemble, and then send troops immediately. With the time required for the journey, my reinforcements will be able to arrive in Tongxian or seek reinforcements within three days."

After saying that, without waiting for Xiang Kang to continue asking questions, Zhou Zeng, who knew Xiang Kang's intention, took the initiative to say: "If I receive another message during the period of recruiting and forming the county army, I know that Tong County or the enemy has been captured, then I will have two choices. One is to give priority to self-protection, and use the army in my hands to guard Xiaxiang County first, and at the same time ask the county magistrate for help, and ask the county magistrate to send the county army to counterattack Xiaxiang. I will send troops to help."

"What about the second choice?" Xiang Kang asked.

"If Tong County is captured by the enemy, I will contact the county magistrate of Qunwu and invite him and me to send troops to counterattack the lower court." Zhou Zeng replied in a simple manner, saying: "Before the enemy has gained a foothold in Tong County, take Tong County back as soon as possible and kill the rebellion in the bud."

Xiang Kang's brows frowned a little, and asked unwillingly: "Uncle Ya, then what choice are you most likely to make?"

"The second one." Zhou County Magistrate answered more directly, saying: "It is not a small contribution to join forces with another county magistrate to suppress the rebellion. It can not only prevent the rebellion from expanding, threaten my territory, but also strive to make meritorious and reward. It is not a small contribution to regaining a county town from the rebels."

Xiang Kang frowned even more, and he even wanted to change his strategic plan. He wanted to learn from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in history to attack instead of defending, taking advantage of the fact that the governments in various places had no time to react, and launched an attack on the surrounding counties, like locusts passing through the border. While plundering all kinds of useful materials, he strengthened the army and gradually gathered capital to compete with the main force of the Qin army. However, considering the miserable end of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and countless bandits in history, as well as the lost people's hearts-in-law, as well as the pitiful military strength in his hands, Xiang Kang gave up this idea again - if the bandits are good, they will die quickly and miserably. Xiang Kang, who has not been intimate with his sister-in-law, does not want to have such an ending.

Shaking his head again and putting aside the unrealistic idea of ​​being a bandit, Xiang Kang asked Zhou Zeng again: "Uncle Ya, where are Xia Pi and Ling County next to him? Will they also send troops to attack us?"

"It may not be big, even if you come, it won't be soon." Zhou Zeng replied: "Xiapi and Lingxian are both Donghai County. When the county army fights across borders, they must first obtain the consent of the county magistrate of Donghai County, or receive the request for reinforcements from the county magistrate of Sishui County. Otherwise, they will be suspected of treason, and neither Xiapi County nor Lingxian County cannot afford to be punished. So even if they will send troops, they will not send troops immediately, and they will have to delay for a while."

"That's good, so we don't have to worry about the threats behind us for the time being." Xiang Kang nodded and said, "Just kill Tongxian and the tyrannical Qin army first, so that we can gain some time to prepare for the whole army."

After saying that, Xiang Kang turned to his personal soldiers in the hall, composed of all the apprentices of the Shilingting Blacksmith Shop and the Dongxiang militiamen, and asked: "I need two people now to find out the news from Tong County, to inquire about when they will send troops, what is the scale of the troops, who is the main general, and who dares to go? After the event is done, I will have a heavy reward."

Several personal soldiers stood up and volunteered. Xiang Kang chose to choose two people who usually acted meticulously, each giving them some money for action, and then let them disguise themselves as fleeing people to seek information from Tongxian. Finally, Xiang Kang thought carefully for a long time before asking Zhou Zeng: "Uncle Ya, Tongxian and Caiwu, who do you have a deeper relationship with?"

"You should be familiar with the county magistrate Gu Bi of Tong County." Zhou Zeng replied without thinking: "Because I have met twice in business, I have been having a happy chat, so I can barely be familiar with each other. As for the county magistrate, I have never seen it before."

"That's good. Tong County is closer to Xiaxia. If Tong County and Cailu join forces to send troops, Tong County Magistrate is most likely to lead troops to defeat Xiaxia." Xiang Kang was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Ya, thank you for your hard work. I immediately sent a letter to the Gu County Magistrate Gu, saying that you were forced to surrender to me, and still wanted to be loyal to the tyrant Qin court in my heart. I wanted to pretend to help me deceive my trust, wait for the opportunity to act as an internal support, and help the tyrant Qin army retake Xiaxia. Please report to the county of Tong County for you."

"It's okay to write a letter, but young master, what's the point of doing this?" Zhou Zeng asked in confusion.

"Prepare for the future and let the enemy know that you are in Cao's camp and in Han." Xiang Kang casually used the wrong allusion and said: "As long as the magistrate of Tong County believes that you are willing to be an insider, whether it is Tong County and Caili joining forces to advance, or the Zhao County Magistrate of Sishui County personally leads troops to capture the court, we can use this letter as a basis to further create fighter opportunities."

Zhou Zeng was actually not very military, so he naturally didn't understand what Xiang Kang said. However, since he had been tied to Xiang Kang's chariot, the county magistrate Zhou could not refuse Xiang Kang's request. He could only quickly pick up his pen and write a letter according to the content of Xiang Kang's request. Then, according to Xiang Kang's arrangement, he chose a family member after returning home. Without telling him the truth, he asked him to take the secret letter and disguise himself as a commoner out of the city and hurried to Tong County, located in the southwest of Xiaxiang to deliver the letter.

…………

By the way, when Zhou Zeng picked up his pen and wrote a book, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had already killed the two commanders who led the team in Daze Township and called on the garrison soldiers to raise troops to rebel. As a result, as in history, the desperate guards of Chen County followed Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and shouted slogans that the princes and generals of the princes, generals and ministers were Ning. Then, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang loudly claimed that Qin Gongzi Fusu and Chu famous general Wu Xinjun Xiang Yan were not dead yet, and announced that they launched an uprising with the reputation of Fusu and Xiang Yan, calling the Great Chu State. Chen Sheng proclaimed himself a general and Wu Guang as the commander, and immediately launched an attack on Qi County next to him.

It was still the same as in history. Because the distance was too close and the officials of Qi County had no time to react, the uprising army led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang also took over the Qi County, which was also located in Sishui County. Unfortunately, due to the speed of transportation and information dissemination in this era, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang did not know that more than 400 miles away, there was also an uprising army that had taken down a county town, which had formed a favorable situation of mutual support with them. So after plundering all useful materials in the county town like crazy, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led their troops west the next day and rushed to their hometown of Chen County, missing the best opportunity to meet with Xiang Kang's uprising army.

Of course, in terms of Chen Sheng and Xiang Kang's character, it may be a good thing that the two rebels were unable to join forces. Otherwise, with Chen Sheng's lenient outside and taboo inside, strong and domineering, Xiang Kang's smile was hidden in his smile, generous on the surface, actually stingy and stingy, the possibility that the two rebels would not fight together was absolutely very small.

…………

Let’s also take a look at the situation on Xiang Bo and Zhang Liang. Although Xia Pi and Xia Xiang belong to Donghai County and Sishui County respectively, because of the close distance, it was actually just the evening of the sixth day of the seventh month that Xiang Bo and Zhang Liang had already received shocking news that the Xiang family’s children launched an uprising under the leadership of Xiang Kang and successfully captured Xia Xiang County.

As a result, when Mr. Xiang and Zhang Liang heard the news, they opened their mouths wide for several minutes and couldn't say a word. In the end, Zhang Liang came to his senses first and asked his family members who came to report the news: "Is the news reliable? Is it really that Mr. Xiang's son and nephew led the Xiang Shou soldiers to raise the flag to rebel and took down Xiaxiang County?"

"It is absolutely reliable to go home." The family said excitedly: "The news has spread all over the city, but Mr. Xiang's nephew raised the banner of Chu and wanted to restore Chu and overthrow the tyrannical Qin! The people in the county temples are also saying this, so it is absolutely reliable."

Zhang Liang was dumbfounded again. Unexpectedly, Xiang Bo, who had been shamelessly consuming and drinking at his home for more than a year, would have such a bunch of great nephews. Not only did he openly fight the flag of Chu to rebel, but he also directly took down a county town! However, what Zhang Liang did not expect was that Xiang Bo suddenly shouted, jumped up and rushed out of the door. Zhang Liang hurriedly shouted: "Brother, where are you going?"

"I'll go and take a photo!" Xiang Bo turned around and said with confidence: "My nephews are very happy. I won a city by chance. Now I must be in a hurry and don't know anything. I'm doing everything in a mess. I want to take over our Xiang family's army, take our Xiang family's army to overthrow the tyrannical Qin and restore the Chu State!"

"Brother, are you too anxious?" Zhang Liang said worriedly: "Although I don't know how your nephews took a county town, I'm sure it was because the princess and nephews were caught off guard. Now the tyrant Qin officials next to the prince must have received the news, and they must have summoned the army to prepare for a counterattack. No one can guarantee whether Xiaxiang City can withstand it. You go now. If you happen to encounter the tyrant Qin army counterattack Xiaxiang, how can you resist?"

Xiang Bo, who was confident that he was going back to take over the Xiang family army, shut his mouth and said hatefully for a while: "These little bastards do such a big thing, no matter how much they say hello, don't they call me? Without my leadership, what can they do?"

"Send someone to inquire about the situation first." Zhang Liang suggested: "I have learned about the situation on the side of the court. If it is feasible, I will go to the army with you. If the situation is wrong, you can also ask the person we sent to send a message to your nephew and ask them to come to Xia Pi to join us when they are desperate."

After thinking for a while, I found that it would be better not to take this risk. Uncle Xiang had no choice but to nod and agreed to Zhang Liang's proposal. However, Uncle Xiang was still extremely dissatisfied and said hatefully: "It's definitely Xiang Kang's little bastard. No one of my nephews dares to do this, overthrow the violent Qin and restore the Great Chu? Bah! Don't give away all the lives of our Xiang family's children!"

…………

By the way, the news that Xiang Kang led the Xiang family's children to revive Chu and successfully captured a county town continued to spread south, and gradually spread to Kuaiji County south of the Yangtze River. After hearing the news, a middle-aged and second-year-old man with double pupils immediately turned crazy, rolled up his sleeves and bent down, pulled up a weeping willow tree, holding the willow tree as thick as a wine jar, shouting, "Brother Kang! Brother Zhuang! You are worthy of being my younger brother! I am worthy of being my good brother! Waiting for me, I will come to help you as soon as possible!"

…………

Let’s take a look at the situation on Liu Laosan’s side. After the news that Xiang Kang and the Xiang family members took Xiaxiang City in one fell swoop and reached Mangdang Mountain, Liu Laosan was surprised and was still a little confused. He couldn’t help asking his brother-in-law Fan Kuai: “Fan Kuai, didn’t you say that Xiang Kang is a silly boy? He didn’t even know the real or fake gold for buying a knife. Why did this fool still have such great ability? Not only did he dare to rebel, but he also directly took down a county town?"

"How do I know?" Fan Kuai said in confusion: "That day, that little boy was really stupid. He accepted the fake gold I handed him without even looking at it. How did I know that this stupid boy still has the ability?"
