Chapter 715
"Second brother, wake up."

In a daze, Bo Ling felt a hand constantly pushing his shoulder.

She opened her eyes with some difficulty, and saw Li Yiru's anxious face.

"What time is it..." Bai Ling sat up with his forehead supported, and it was already bright outside.

"It's almost ten o'clock," Li Yiru replied, looking towards the window, "There is a group of people arguing in the backyard early in the morning. The distance is too far and I can't hear what's going on, but there seem to be more and more people..."

Bai Ling suddenly woke up.

Having chatted too late with Li Yiru last night, and being forcibly woken up this morning, Bo Ling only felt a hangover-like headache in his head.

Bo Ling reluctantly got up, changed his clothes, and quickly washed up.

After splashing cold water on the face, the feeling of headache gradually subsided.

"I'll take a look in the backyard." Bo Ling whispered, "You still wait here for news from me—"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yiru nimbly put his fingers against his mouth and made a silent movement. His whole body tensed up and he looked up at the zenith.

"What's wrong?" Bo Ling looked up.

"Someone..." Li Yiru replied softly, "Someone is up there."

At this moment, both of them heard a slight disturbance of tiles coming from the roof, and then an upside-down figure hanging down from the window.

"Ah, have you been discovered yet?" The deer hunter's face was exposed from the gray-white cloak, "Morning."

Seeing that it was this old acquaintance, Li Yiru breathed a sigh of relief, but soon remembered something, quickly hid behind Bai Ling, and poked his head out nervously, "...you are not here to arrest me again, are you?"

"Thinking too much." The deer hunter kicked his foot on the window sill lightly, swayed into the room almost silently, and said with a smile, "Last time I caught you on the way, who made it happen for us? ?”

"What can you do, Your Excellency?"

"It's better to stay in the house first." The deer hunter said with a smile, "Don't go out for muddy water at this time."

"...So what's going on outside?"

"Prefect Cao and County Magistrate Shao are fighting."

……

Even though I got up late, the breakfast in the county government office was still there. The servants prepared a large bowl of rice porridge for two as before. Although this Mr. Wei looked thin, he had to eat a lot of food every meal. .

When Bai Ling took the food and returned to the house, she skillfully divided the rice porridge into two portions, then raised her eyes to look at the deer hunter, "Do you want to?"

"No need."

Bai Ling lowered his head and chewed, calmed down his hunger a little, and said softly, "Vice General Wang turned back halfway earlier, you came to inform me, right?"

"Yes." The deer hunter nodded generously.

"General Chang asked you to come?"

"Naturally." The deer hunter whispered, "I just came back from Yanzhou, and I just need to return to Zhuozhou before October."

Li Yiru paused for a moment, "Then why did you come to look both ways...?"

The deer hunter looked at Bai Ling, his eyes narrowed, "It's nothing, just come and see, if you need any help here..."

Bo Ling and Li Yiru were stunned at the same time, and looked up at the deer hunter for a long time.

Bai Ling came back to his senses first, "If it's for the Hesta people I let go in Stone Monkey Town, you don't have to worry about it. At that time, we had few people, and our priority was saving people. If it's for those grooms I don’t know how they will fight against the killers... It’s not out of mercy.”

The deer hunter laughed.

"I was just passing by," he said softly, "It may not be to repay a favor."

Li and Bai glanced at each other.

……

At noon, Bo Ling set off from the side gate and walked towards Wang Meng's barracks in the north of the city.

Sure enough, Shao Kuan was there. When Bai Ling entered the tent, he saw the silent magistrate Shao. He was sitting there with slightly red eyes.

"Master Wang," Bo Ling stepped forward to salute, "I saw several underground granaries open on the way. Is this to transfer grain to support Zhuozhou?"

Wang Meng's face was not very good-looking, and he nodded.

"Is there something wrong?" Bo Ling glanced at Shao Kuan with some concern, "Prefect Cao has already made a move?"

"It's not that there is any big case about Qin Yuan's remnants, but from today onwards, Cao Xun will temporarily take over as the head of the two parties." Wang Meng said in a low voice, "Take a look at this."

Wang Meng handed over a letter, and Bo Ling quickly unfolded it.

"Is this... written by General Chang?" Bai Ling stared at it, and suddenly said in surprise, "... want to move the people at both ends to other places? Why—"

Before the "why" was finished, Bo Ling saw the reason for Changsheng.

He wants to look at both ends and restore it to a purely military location.

The reason is very simple, the management in the army is very transparent, and most of the soldiers know the basics, if there are gold thieves mixed in, it is easy to detect any abnormalities.

But if there are common people in the city, it is different. It is very difficult for the government to completely stop the movement of the common people - it is winter now, and there are gold thieves outside, so the common people are naturally willing to stay in the city obediently.

However, in the spring and summer of next year, or in peacetime, such strong restrictions will easily lead to conflicts between the government and the people.

If you plan ahead and choose the right time, move the people in Liangduwang to Yan and Zhuo. In this way, the composition of Liangduwang will become single again, and the combat effectiveness of the entire city defense will be improved by more than a little bit.

As for the establishment of this county - Chang Sheng will submit a letter to Jingzhong together with Cao Xun. After all, it is for the consideration of fighting against gold, and I believe the above will approve it.

"In this way... it's a way." Bai Ling said softly, "there are not many farmlands looking out from the two ends. When we move to Zhuozhou and Yanzhou in the spring of next year, maybe we can actually expand a piece of land. What about Arada?"

Shao Kuan looked over suddenly, his throat hoarse.

"I can't wait for spring next year..."

Bo Ling was taken aback for a moment, then turned his gaze to the letter again, and read it back and forth several times.

When it comes to time, there is only one sentence "choose the time and move".

Burling suddenly understood something.

"Could it be that the prefect Cao wants the common people to leave now?"

"Prefect Cao has given me a new order," Shao Kuan said in a low voice, "I will take the people from the east of the city to Yanzhou tomorrow."

"Yanzhou?" Bai Ling couldn't understand, "Isn't Liangduwang located in Zhuozhou?"

"Because the road to Yanzhou was blown up at both ends," Wang Meng replied, "If you want to go to Zhuozhou, you have to take a long detour. The reason why people go to Yanzhou is to save food on the road. , it makes sense."

Bo Ling blinked, still puzzled.

"But why do you have to leave now? It's so cold, and there are many women and children in the distance. From here to Yanzhou, even if it is a march, it will take two or three days, let alone these civilians... such a simple reason, There's no reason why Zhifu Cao can't figure it out."

"Then...you have to ask Cao Xun himself." Shao Kuan said coldly.
