"The old country is ruined, the Shenzhou catastrophe is in trouble, I don't know when it will be stopped......"

The army of the Western Expedition started from Hongnong at the end of April, and arrived outside Chang'an in early June, as for the Jingzhao Du Hong, who originally stole the city, he had already led the crowd to flee and disappeared.

Originally, this should have been an extremely exciting thing, but the people of the kings and teachers took Huan Xuan to surrender on their own, and faced Chang'an City, where the city defense was opened, there was no joy on their faces. Because the Chang'an City in front of me is really too dilapidated!

Tianfu Dayi, the old Han Xiongdu, this great city with extraordinary significance in the minds of all the people of Zhuxia, is presented in front of the king in the ugliest and most dilapidated posture at this moment.

Most of the original walls of the city have collapsed, and there is almost no boundary between the inside and outside of the city, and there are weeds everywhere as far as the eye can see. The so-called moats are only ravines of different depths, and the displaced people have built messy shacks above and below the ravines, and a large number of traces of human and animal feces are distributed around, and the stench escapes at the slightest wind.

A large number of refugees watched the army of the king slowly approaching the city with blank expressions, trembling one by one, but they no longer had the energy to make such vivid expressions of horror, and they didn't even bother to make senseless escapes.

"Camp outside the city and drive the wanderers of the city into the wild!"

Although there were many sad sighs in his heart, Huan Xuan still cheered up and ordered the whole army: "Wang Shi was ordered to march westward, not waiting for the anniversary, Chang'an has been restored, Jin Industry is prosperous, and the soldiers use their lives, which is enough to boast!" ”

The recovery of Chang'an is not magnificent on the whole, and in fact it is only a stage in the entire Western Expedition, far from being a success. Especially at present, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees from Jin and Hu in the vicinity of Chang'an City, and once they are not handled properly, they will be eroded.

Therefore, Huan Xuan really didn't dare to relax at the moment, and he didn't even have time to organize any military praise ceremonies, so he just transferred the camp from Bashang to the outskirts of Chang'an City, and then turned around and threw himself into heavy military affairs.

After the general returned to Luoyang Xingtai, Huan Xuan took over as the front-line supervisor of the Western Expedition, and Huan Xuan also knew very well why he was appointed.

This is more of a compliment to his old achievements in operating the Xiangyang area for many years, and when Xingtai decided to rectify Xiangyang, he was able to take the initiative to delegate power and cooperate with Xingtai as a kind of compensation. The situation in Guanzhong seems to be chaotic, but because of this, no side is strong enough to resist the army marching to the west.

In particular, the march of the Taiwan army was neither hasty nor impatient, and did not seek hasty success, which made the real battle battle almost no suspense. Among the several people who participated in the Western Expedition, the Xiangyang army was not outstanding in combat effectiveness under the sequence of the Great General's Mansion, and it was not even as good as the Central Plains troops led by Guo Yu in the back road.

What's more, among the elites of the four armies in Xingtai, in addition to the Hongwu Army, the other three people and horses all participated in this battle to varying degrees, escorting Huan Xuan's achievements in recovering Guanzhong.

But this does not mean that Huan Xuan and his subordinate Xiangyang Army are just lying down this time, on the contrary, Huan Xuan knows that his task is quite important. If it is only a nominal recovery of Chang'an or Guanzhong, it is not difficult for Xingtai, and there is no even need for a labor expedition, as long as Xingtai makes a slight statement and is willing to compromise for the time being, these heroes in Guanzhong, including Du Hong, will be happy to return to righteousness.

But it is obvious that General Shen is not satisfied with such a degree of recovery, and he went to the front line to exterminate the Hongnong Yang clan, a giant sect of China and North Korea, which itself set a yardstick for the generals of the Western Expedition, that is, the majesty of the Xingtai decree will never be allowed to be taken away by the local powerful and powerful township sects!

So far, most of the achievements of the Western Expedition have benefited from friendly forces. However, the next step is to truly bring Guanzhong, especially the Sanfu area, into the supervision of the Xingtai, so that the decree can be carried out unimpeded, which is the real test of Huan Xuan.

In order to achieve this goal, deterrence by force alone cannot be achieved, and it can even be said to be the next resort. Guanzhong has been chaotic for a long time, and it has suddenly entered the government, and the discomfort and resistance of the people can be imagined. Such a hell on earth cannot be called a revival, but a kind of iniquity.

Huan Xuan presided over the military and political affairs of Xiangyang for many years, and reorganized the Xiangyang area from a ruin of a hundred battles into a city to govern the city, and naturally had a lot of experience in controlling chaos.

Moreover, in the early years, the Xiangyang area was widely used to travel and eat from all directions, a considerable part of which came from between Yongqin and Qin, and the situation faced at that time was not only to deal with external troubles and constraints and balances from Jiangdong Taicheng, but also to deal with the constraints and balances from Jiangdong Taicheng, which was much more complicated than the current Guanzhong.

Therefore, when General Shen showed his broad mind and gave him this important task, Huan Xuan also made up his mind and did his best to include Guanzhong in governing the territory, and there would be no more chaos. The platform of Guanzhong is much larger than the original Xiangyang, and of course Huan Xuan is no longer alone, and he is still full of confidence in this.

At present, in front of Huan Xuan, the biggest problem is the hundreds of thousands of refugees gathered around Chang'an. This is not only the mess left by Du Hong, but also a situation deliberately created by the king of the Western Expedition.

The reason why it is difficult to govern the refugees is that they have no fixed residence, are scattered and scattered, and lack the means to control them. Although Chang'an is dilapidated, and the basic functions of the city are no longer available, at least it still has a special symbolic meaning in the minds of the people of Guanzhong, and it can play a great role in gathering and appealing.

Since the westward expansion of the Middle Road Wang Division, the damage caused to the suburbs of Sanfu can be called brutal, and it is not even an exaggeration to say that it is tyrannical. After the march of the army, there were almost no longer large strongholds, and the dock walls along the way either opened the door and surrendered, or were directly breached.

As for the people who escaped from these dock walls, most of them were gathered around Chang'an, intentionally or unintentionally. Now that even Du Hong, who had stolen Chang'an, had led his troops to flee from this realm, Wang Shi naturally took advantage of the situation to accept these refugees, and it can be said that he had crossed the initial problem, that is, the gathering and personal control of the refugees.

Of course, it is not excluded that there are still a large number of refugees wandering in other rural areas of Sanfu, and there will naturally continue to be measures to appease and gather in the future, such as the successor Guo Yu's army.

Individuals are admittedly cowardly, but once they are gathered on a large scale, their harmfulness will be revealed. Even Huan Xuan has never had the experience of reorganizing and relocating such a large number of refugees in a short period of time.

But he also understood that this matter could not be delayed, the real enemy of Wang Shi was still entrenched in Hebei, Shi Zhao Yu, it was impossible to throw too much time and energy into Guanzhong, and from the overall strategic consideration, he could only adopt this slightly radical rhythm.

After confirming that Du Hong had fled Chang'an, Huan Xuan did not rush to lead his troops across Bashang into Chang'an, but cautiously set up outposts around Bashang to avoid a large-scale refugee flight.

After several swords and blood lessons, these refugees finally settled down a little, and according to Wang Shi's requirements, they temporarily lived in Ba Shang, and did not dare to flee to Siye again.

The most effective means of deterrence against refugees is undoubtedly force, so then Huan Xuan used the reason of cleaning up the remnants of Du Hong's thief army, and the main force of the army did not move, and sent a team of 1,000 people into Ba Shang to search for and disarm the large armed forces among the refugees.

This process is particularly cautious, once it is too urgent, it is easy to cause civil unrest, if the review is careless, the prestige can not be erected, and it is not conducive to eliminating hidden dangers.

In this regard, the Xiangyang Army has a great advantage, because there is no shortage of soldiers from the old Guanzhong in the army. These people entered the battle, and invisibly gave some psychological comfort to these panicked people. Moreover, Huan Xuan also ordered the first to search for bows, knives, gold and iron weapons, and did not kill people.

Therefore, during the three-day search, although there were occasional riots, on the whole, the turmoil was not big and did not spread. As for the bows and knives and instruments confiscated, the number is also amazing, and they are directly piled up in the small Banfang area in the south of Chang'an City, which also shows that the people of Guanzhong are fierce, and it has become a trend for the people to hide weapons with them.

In the process of searching, other strategies have been carried out. For example, among the refugees, craftsmen who are knowledgeable in literature and science or have a good skill will always be a scarce human resource, and there will never be too many of them.

There are two battalions set up in Bashang to collect and place this type of talent. As long as they can be selected into the camp, they can be fed by the king's half-pawn, and the enthusiasm of these refugees is naturally high, and the applicants flock to it.

In this way, hundreds of thousands of refugees have once again been fragmented.

In addition to the difficulty of food and clothing, another serious point is that the epidemic is uncontrollable. In such a noisy and chaotic environment, especially in the middle of summer, a large number of refugees die of illness almost every day.

In this regard, Huan Xuan does not have very good means, although there are strict epidemic prevention regulations in Wang Shiying, but these regulations are difficult to push to the people for a while. It is difficult to fully implement it for a while by simply drinking hot water and burning the bodies of the sick and deceased.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of troops in Bashang, and deep wells were drilled for water, and the people were also afraid of the epidemic and lived in the fence, but the further spread of the epidemic was temporarily controlled. However, some of the drugs used for epidemic prevention cannot be used on refugees because the sailors carrying heavy goods have not yet arrived in Chang'an.

The Weishui flooded and it was difficult for boats to travel. After Huan Xuan controlled Baqiao, he immediately began to dredge Weishui, and there were many forces in Ba Shang, and the effect was outstanding.

And speaking of this, I have to mention the help provided by the Xiatai region in the lower reaches of Weishui, Wang Meng, who was sent to the realm in advance as the Cheng of Xiatai County, really gave Huan Xuan a lot of surprises, and in such a short period of time, he also gathered nearly 10,000 of his soldiers in the realm to join the dredging of the river.

In addition to transporting a large number of urgently needed supplies, the addition of nearly 10,000 sailors also completely consolidated the control and occupation of the surrounding areas of Chang'an.

It wasn't until Lu Yong's troops arrived that Huan Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention back to the military. Soon, Pu Jian, a Diren who broke through from Xianyang, was introduced into the Chinese army's tent. ()
