River pond.

In winter mornings, the sun always waits until very late to rise into the sky, and finally sheds its light miserably. Just like now, after six o'clock, the sky is still extremely dark, and there is no light on the east side of the river.

But at such an early hour, Wu Yi, the governor of Wudu, got up and finished washing. Now Wu Yi was eating a bowl of millet porridge with crispy and refreshing pickles, eating it bite by bite.

Wu Yi was eating breakfast here, and his scribes were right in front of him, diligently placing various atlases of Wudu, household registers and field records, as well as military information in front of Wu Yi in order of priority.

Wudu was initially set up, and there were a lot of things that needed to be taken care of. Not long after, before Wu Yi had finished his bowl of millet porridge, the papers on the desk in front of him were piled up to the level of his eyes. A few more copies would be able to block Wu Yi's attention. out of sight.

'Eh. After Wu Yi finished eating, he put down the millet porridge in his hand, looked at the pile of documents piled high in front of him, and sighed silently in his heart.

When he first got the title of Governor of Wudu, he was extremely excited and excited mentally. But now, due to the daily workload of writing documents, he is a little tired of the post of Governor of Wudu.

Wu Yi thought about whether it was more satisfying to command the soldiers to fight and fight. He preferred the two armies to confront each other and fight. However, after all, it was a moment of laziness that arose in his heart. Wu Yi calmed down and devoted himself to today's writings. , the pleasure of mastering the military and political affairs of a county always urged him to take matters into his own hands.

The first and most important thing is the battle in Chencang. There was news from Gan Ning earlier that they were almost approaching Chencang and would launch an attack on the city soon. Of course, Gan Ning was originally planning to attack Chencang, so he would not delay the attack for long.

"Issue an order from the general to have Xu Meng escort 50,000 grains of grain to Chencang." With a wave of his hand, Wu Yi transported half of the Di Valley plundered from the Di people to Gan Ning, who was preparing to attack Chencang.

Here Wu Yi plans to attack the city for a long time. Attacking the city is hard work, tiring work, and even more grueling work. It is common to be unable to conquer the city for a long time. At this time, food and grass are needed to stabilize the morale of the army. .

It's not that Wu Yi didn't trust Gan Ning and thought that Gan Ning couldn't capture Chencang even if he was able to catch him by surprise, but that Wu Yi was fully prepared. If Gan Ning's surprise attack didn't take effect and the surprise attack turned into a siege, then the siege would last for a period of time. Time, of course, requires food and grass.

"Nuo." A clerk responded. He took Wu Yi's general order and hurriedly walked out of the official office and rushed towards the camp where Xu Meng's troops were stationed to convey Wu Yi's general order.

After working for a while, Wu Yi put down the papers in his hands. He raised his head upwards and stretched his hands to both sides, preparing to soothe his tired body. When his face was lifted from the hill surrounded by the papers in front of him, he came into view. It is the golden morning light.

The sun has risen.

The warm and soft winter sun penetrated the window lattice of the government office and poured bright sunlight into the room, dispelling the dim environment in the room. At the same time, this light suppressed the candlelight on the table. There was no need for candles now. Fire.

Wu Yi waved his hand, and the servants on the left and right knew his intentions, put out the candles, and put them aside.

"The prince is really diligent. With such a prince, there is no need to worry about military affairs being ineffective. The soldiers and people of Wudu are blessed." Wu Yi has been in office for an hour, but it was not until this point that the military council captain Fazheng lazily walked in Entering the office of the government agency, as soon as he saw Wu Yi, he praised Wu Yi directly. "You lazy Guan Zhongzi, you didn't get up early to work, you just stepped into the official office at this time, and you dare to tease me, I have to give you a slap in the face." Faced with Fazheng's praise, Wu Yi said He replied angrily.

A narrow smile appeared on Fazheng's face, and he begged for mercy: "Master Fu, please forgive me! It's not because I didn't get up early, but the bed board is a bit sticky in winter. It took me an hour or two to get out of bed."

"Okay, okay." Wu Yi shook his head. He was really helpless towards Fazheng. Firstly, he admired Fazheng very much for his resourcefulness, but secondly, Fazheng was a bit lazy and didn't like to take things seriously every day. Just wandering around here and there, so unfashionable, gave him a headache and a little bit of envy while he was immersed in paperwork.

"Xiaozhi, please take a look at this document." Wu Yi straightened his expression and handed a letter bag to Fazheng.

When Fazheng looked at the seal, his expression straightened up. According to the seal, he knew that this was a letter from Liu Zhang. He took the letter, took out the silk cloth from the letter bag, and asked Wu Yi: "Does Duke Ming have any orders?"

"Ming Gong has ordered us to reorganize the Di people in Wudu before the harvest next summer, to eliminate the cunning chiefs in Wudu, and to make the territory of Wudu peaceful." Wu Yi said.

Fazheng nodded, indicating that he had listened. At the same time, he unfolded the silk cloth in the letter bag and read the words on it carefully. After a moment, he put the silk cloth away, considered it for a while, and faced it to him. Wu Yiyan said, casting a questioning look.

"There are three strong Di people in Wudu County, Baiqing, Xiabian, and Hechi. Now that the Di people in Xiabian and Hechi have been wiped out by us, then only the Baiqing Di people are left. Of course, Wu There are countless small tribes of Di people in the mountains and forests of the capital... The current plan is to wipe out hundreds of hectares of Di people first, and then divide the troops to destroy the small tribes of Di people. "

"What Xiaozhi said is exactly what I want. Xia Bian and Hechi are both settled. Now there are only a hundred hectares left for the Di people. It is still considered a climate. If we first settle a hundred hectares, Wudu will be generally in peace." Wu Yi nodded with a smile. nod.

"It's just that the Di people from Baiqing are not easy to capture." Fazheng tapped the table with his fingers gently, making a vague sound: "The Di people from Baiqing live in Qiuchi Mountain and set up a camp on Qiuchi Mountain. And the city fort, coupled with the Han River flowing south from the foot of Qiuchi Mountain, surrounded by water on three sides and a mountain on one side, it can be called a natural and dangerous resort. "

"It's a bit difficult." Wu Yi frowned.

"Good news, good news..." At this time, a voice announcing victory came from outside the official courtyard wall: "Chencang has been captured, Chencang has been captured."

Wu Yi and Fazheng, who heard the movement and heard the voice clearly, looked at each other, with cheerful smiles on their faces. Gan Ning successfully attacked Chencang. This was a great joy, but for him For people, it is also an inspiration.

"Xiaozhi, Chencang has already been captured. Gan Ning and Lou Fa have made great contributions. You and I must not fall behind others. These hundred hectares... we have to capture them no matter what." Wu Yi half-squinted his eyes with a smile on his face. Not reduced.

Fazheng also half-squinted his eyes: "This is natural. If we don't win a hundred hectares by the end of the year, I'm afraid our faces will be dull." (End of this chapter)
