"Take good care of yourself to avoid spreading the plague. Take your men to the east gate of the county town, where Feng Tao is stationed. There's no need to go into the town. Discuss things with Feng Tao."
Song Zhen nodded: "Does the commander intend to persuade Feng Tao to surrender?"
"Exactly. If we can persuade Feng Tao to surrender, we won't have to put in too much effort to get Ai County to surrender."
Because the two groups were fighting, ordinary refugees naturally dared not stay in the county town for long, so they either fled or sought refuge with Wang Datong or Feng Tao.
Song Zhen nodded in agreement: "I will follow your instructions, Commander!"
"In addition, during the process of persuading people to surrender, it is essential to inform them about the plague situation. Those who are sick can be handed over to us for isolation and treatment."
"Yes." What Song Zhen admired about Shen Xi was that she valued the lives of ordinary people.
Shen Xi instructed again, "Qi Xiuwu, you take the vanguard and go with Song Zhen to protect him!"
Qi Xiuwu bowed and agreed. Seeing that Shen Xi did not give him any other instructions, he went out to select people.
Shen Xi turned his gaze to Zhao Rong: "Zhao Rong, go and gather all the capable fighters and position them behind Qi Xiuwu's rear. If Song Zhen manages to persuade Feng Tao to surrender, then join forces with Feng Tao to attack Wang Datong together. If you fail to persuade Feng Tao to surrender and a conflict breaks out between the two sides, make sure to ensure Song Zhen's safety, and then lead the troops back to the first hill to await my orders."
"Yes, sir." Zhao Rong turned and went out to call out the people.
"Qi Xiuwen." Shenxi looked at the gentle and refined man, admired him for a moment, and then instructed, "Once Bian'ai County is captured, you will be needed to display your talents. You will be in charge of all the general affairs!"
Qi Xiuwen immediately agreed: "I will obey your instructions, Commander!"
"Zhang Feng".
“Here!” Zhang Feng stepped forward.
"From now on, your task is to train troops here. After Bian'ai County is captured, I will bring the soldiers here and hand them over to you for training. You must train a well-trained and combat-ready army for me!"
"Yes!" Zhang Feng happily accepted the task.
"Zang Huatian!"
“Here!” Zang Huatian stepped forward, his belly protruding.
"After Bian'ai County is captured, you will be responsible for financial management and will collect and organize all the finances within the county."
"Yes." Zang Huatian didn't refuse at all; he was very familiar with matters of money.
"Zhao Peng."
"exist!"
Zhao Peng was very excited when he saw that it was finally his turn.
"You and Zhang Feng will stay here for the time being and manage all the affairs here. I'm entrusting my back to you."
Zhao Peng felt uncomfortable when he heard that he was to be kept, but then the commander said that he was entrusting her back to him, which was a great trust.
Zhao Peng straightened his back and replied resolutely, "I will obey your instructions, Commander!"
"Fang Chenyan!"
"Your subordinate is here!" Fang Chenyan kept referring to himself as his subordinate, which made the group of people who had just forgotten to refer to themselves as their subordinates feel a little uncomfortable: How could they have forgotten?
"You will lead a portion of the medical team. After Bian'ai County is captured, make sure everyone is thoroughly checked and no one is missed. You'll have a lot of work to do!"
Fang Chenyan bowed and said, "Your subordinate is not tired!"
Shen Xi looked at Lin Yanjun, whom she greatly admired: "Lin Yanjun, you'll have to work hard this time too!"
"Please give your instructions, sir."
Lin Yanjun was afraid that Shenxi would have a bad impression of him because of his previous refusal to surrender, so he was very eager to do things when Shenxi wanted to assign him tasks.
“You used to lead the rebel army, so you are naturally very familiar with the common people. After the capture of Bian’ai County, you will need to take people to settle the prisoners.”
Lin Yanjun readily agreed.
Shen Xi was satisfied with Lin Yanjun's performance; she would not mistreat someone who genuinely worked for her.
"Chen Rongxuan".
Shen Rongxuan stepped forward: "Your subordinate is here!"
Shenxi solemnly instructed: "Logistics is very complicated, especially after we capture Bian'ai County. You will need to lead the team to do a good job in logistics. Whether we can have a stable life and eat well depends on you."
"I will obey your instructions, Commander!" Shen Rongxuan replied firmly.
"Li Qin".
"Your subordinate is here!" Li Qin, one of the few red flowers among the green leaves, was very proud.
"You will come with me. After we capture Bian'ai County, you must take charge of food hygiene and prevent diseases from entering through the mouth!"
"yes!"
"Li Zhong."
"Your subordinate is here!"
Honest man Li Zhong never expected that one day he would receive honors because of his daughter. Although his cleaning department was dirty, he was now the minister and had a certain status in front of the leaders. He was very proud!
"When you arrive in Bian'ai County, you will be responsible for all the cleaning and sanitation work, preventing mosquitoes and flies from being attracted by garbage and causing pollution, and actively disposing of the corpses!"
"yes."
Shen Xi turned her gaze to Zhou Ren: "Zhou Ren, you will also be entering Bian'ai County. There will be a lot of things for you to do then, and I will make detailed arrangements for you at that time."
"Yes, sir!"
"Zheng Ankang, Zheng Anxiang".
"Your subordinate is here!"
The two men had great respect for Shenxi, and the longer they followed him, the more they respected their leader!
"You can stay by my side. There are no special missions. Just take good care of the guards."
"yes."
With a smile on her face, Shenxi said gently to Di Yingxue, "Yingxue, you will come with me to Bian'ai County to draft various documents and regulations, record various matters. The work is tedious, and you will also have to take care of my younger brother and sister. I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Commander, Yingxue is not troubled. It is Yingxue's honor to serve you!"
"Okay, if there are suitable candidates, I'll arrange a few deputies for you."
Di Yingxue was indeed hardworking and conscientious, treating her and her younger siblings very well, and also taking care of her own children.
Di Yingxue naturally did not object to Shen Xi's arrangement. With a deputy to help, the leader's work would not be delayed. What if she made a mistake in the rush?
"Hao Zheng."
Hao Zheng, a new member, was kept in the camp by Chen Xi because he had helped promote Lin Yanqing's tyranny and was an upright person. He often did errands.
Hao Zheng stepped forward: "Your subordinate is here!"
"The elderly, weak, sick and disabled who are temporarily staying here need your care. Once everything is arranged in Bian'ai County, we will see how they are resettled."
"yes!"
Shenxi made arrangements one by one. The work in the forest could not be stopped for too long. Bian'ai County needed to be captured quickly, and the food there would definitely not be enough. Based on her memory and by asking the newly arrived refugees, she judged that the locust plague would sweep in about half a month to a month!
In her memory, locusts appeared sporadically, but no one paid any attention. This happened every year. On the contrary, some of the locusts that appeared now became food for her.
The newly arrived refugees described the increasing number of locusts.
Once a locust plague strikes, the south will not be immune.
At that time, grain production may be greatly reduced across the country, and some places may even have no harvest at all.
If the grain that is not yet fully ripe can be harvested in time, there is still a chance to salvage it.
But now the world is in chaos, and information travels very slowly. How many people in power will listen to her, who is of little influence?
