The two centurions clasped their fists and replied, "Yes!"
The scouts took advantage of the soldiers' rest to spread out and enter the city and surrounding villages to gather intelligence.
Fuyang County used to be Bohai County, located on the border of Qinghe County. The county seat is smaller than Ling County, with a sparse population and not densely populated.
An hour later.
The army began to enter the city.
Almost all the zombies in Fuyang County have fled, with only a very few trapped at home, making it easier to clean up than in Dongwu.
The young men split into two groups, one following Wei Ling and the other following Wei Lang, following behind the army to carry out cleanup and sweep.
Perhaps because the city was conquered earlier and there were fewer people there, and because there were small gates in the back and front yards, many shops on both sides of the main road are surprisingly well preserved.
The shop door was closed. After it was broken open, it was found that almost nothing had been moved except for a thick layer of dust.
In terms of the preservation of supplies, it is far superior to Tobu.
Wei Xiyin walked along, passing by the doors of shops that had been broken open by soldiers. She looked at the supplies inside as if they were her own belongings, and her eyes were filled with a hint of familiarity.
It feels so good to loot a city.
There is no need to spend effort on production and construction, just move these things back manually, which is enough for the more than 20,000 people in the dock to use for a long time.
She was in a good mood.
Gong Chun always followed her. He didn't need to do anything. With Miss Wei and the Wei family's followers behind her, the zombies couldn't get close to her.
He had nothing to do and looked around the city along the way.
The bloodstains on the ground have been washed away by the heavy winter snow. Many houses have collapsed, and some have become ruins.
Some soldiers ran to the ruins and were digging up things underneath, checking them one by one to avoid the presence of some zombie animals.
Occasionally, you can see a few zombies with twisted postures rushing onto the street from the darkness, but they are killed by armed soldiers after just a few steps.
In the small city, soldiers were walking around everywhere.
Two thousand people conducted searches simultaneously and cleared the entire Fuyang County within one day.
However, they did not leave immediately.
After confirming that the city was safe, the soldiers closed the two city gates and everyone stayed in the city at night.
"The territory of Gaoyi is very dangerous!"
Wei Xiyin called the two captains over and said solemnly, "There were countless waves of zombies, big and small, gathering here before. Almost half of the zombies in Qinghe County are concentrated there."
The two captains exchanged a glance, and one of them replied respectfully, "General Chen has ordered his subordinates to follow the lady's instructions."
Wei Xiyin nodded with satisfaction. "I don't want any casualties, so I'm reminding you first: don't act on your own and don't try to show off your abilities and take credit for something..."
She had never been involved in the affairs of the Zhongshan Army, but based on her observations over the past few days, it seemed that the rewards within the vanguard camp were based on the number of zombies killed.
It is often seen that after receiving the order, some soldiers are particularly active and charge into battle without fear.
This is a good thing.
But Gao Yi's situation is too special. If she doesn't warn him, if four, five, six, seven or eight waves of zombies come to her tomorrow, she will not be able to help but feed all these people to the zombies.
"First, decide on the route and formation. Divide into four teams. On the first day, clear along the border. Do not go deep into Gaoyi."
Wei Xiyin said, "Each team will have small black balls and fire chariots distributed by the Wei family. They are only responsible for zombie waves below 5,000. If they discover a large number of zombies that have already gathered together, they must retreat and return immediately. Report to me immediately. No unauthorized action is allowed."
"Yes!" The two centurions took note of her words carefully.
Wei Xiyin glanced at several of her cousins and said, "Stay at the back obediently. I'll tell you when I need you."
The young men said: "Don't worry, Fifth Cousin, we will be obedient."
Wei Ling opened his mouth and wanted to refute.
Why does he have to stay behind?
Wei Xiyin caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, but pretended not to see it. She turned around and instructed one of her cousins, "You stay in Fuyang and be responsible for the transportation of all supplies in Fuyang County. Once the people arrive, you can start loading the supplies."
The cousin nodded repeatedly, "I know, just like cousin He."
Seeing that his fifth cousin ignored him, Wei Ling endured it again and again, but he couldn't help it and asked, "Fifth cousin, I am very familiar with the zombie tide and can lead the troops alone."
He never expected that his cousin would arrange him to stay at the rear.
Wei Ling holds an official position in the army. Although it is not high, he often goes on missions alone. If you ask among his cousins who knows the outside environment and the zombie tide best, it would be him.
Moreover, he believed that he was quite capable and was fully capable of leading the troops alone to assist his cousin in clearing Gaoyi County.
Wei Xiyin didn't explain, she just said, "I have my own considerations."
"When we met the Wei family army on the road, didn't Third Uncle tell you to follow my instructions?"
Wei Ling was suddenly choked. He was speechless and lowered his head, looking very dejected.
His cousins gathered around and hurried to comfort him.
"Brother Ling is certainly very powerful. Fifth cousin has her own plans. Perhaps the situation will change tomorrow, and she will let you lead the troops..."
"Yes, yes, cousin, please don't be sad. Isn't it good for you to stay with us?"
Wei Lang nodded heavily, "I'm better than you. I didn't even go. We have to listen to our elder sister. Being obedient is the key to being a good child."
Wei Ling: “…”
The matter was settled.
Gong Chun did not participate in the action arrangements. He had nothing to do, so he wandered around the streets on both sides of the street. He found a bookstore and found some woodblock prints inside.
Literary culture was prevalent in Yizhou, and almost every county had its own bookstore.
The zombie outbreak occurred at night. There was no one in the bookstore. Except for the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the counter covered with dust, everything was intact.
Gong Chun picked up a dirty cloth, wiped the dust off it, and played with it in his hand.
His vision was poor at night and he couldn't see clearly what was written on the carvings. He ran his hands over the carved patterns and guessed the words one by one. It was a rare opportunity and he actually had a lot of fun.
After Wei Xiyin finished her business, she looked around before she found him.
"What is Liu Langjun doing?"
Gong Chun came back to his senses and quickly calmed down. "We found some engravings and printings. You can take them back with you and open a bookshop in the fort in the future."
The fortress has a large collection of books, but some teaching books are not enough.
In the past, the clan school only accepted children of the Wei family. Now there are more children and the collection of books is not enough to distribute them.
Especially the literacy teaching materials needed by children who are just starting to learn, now several people share one copy, and the books cannot be taken out of the school and must be handed in to the teacher after class.
Dean Qu once informed Mingjingtang of the situation. The uncles and aunts had hired scholars to copy books, but their efficiency was very low.
Opening a bookstore is a good idea.
Wei Xiyin felt relieved. "Sixth Young Master is always thinking about the fort, which shows that he has a sense of belonging to the fort. It seems that there is no need to worry about Guangping's affairs."
Gong Chun: “…” Is this what I mean?
