Because the Jin soldiers fled in a hurry, the Song army took back Dongping without much effort. King Kang led his troops into the county town. While ordering people to bury the bodies and clean the battlefield, he also arranged for Runan Jiedushi Ma Menglong to lead troops to guard the four gates to prevent the Jin soldiers from counterattacking back.

Liu Yixuan led the group of Dongping defenders to the county government. The deputy envoy of the Dongping regiment was named Huang and named Huang Wenyuan. He was a native of Dongping. He used to be a guard in Tai'an Prefecture. Later, as he grew older, he was unwilling to go out for errands, so he spent some money to donate a deputy envoy of the regiment training in his hometown county. Originally, the deputy envoy of the regiment training was also a idle position and could be regarded as an old-age errand work. Unexpectedly, the Jin soldiers went south this year, and the county magistrate and the regiment training envoy also ran without a trace. Therefore, his deputy envoy of the regiment training was the largest official left by the local government.

Liu Yixuan asked Huang Wenyuan: "Huang Tuanlian, how many people do you have in Dongping County, and how many servants have not escaped?"

Huang Wenyuan said, "Go back to Lord Liu, our county town has a total population of less than 40,000, but some people have gone out to flee these days. As for how many people there are in the city now, the young ones are not clear. There were originally a hundred servants in this county, all of whom were from the county. When the Jin people attacked the city this morning, everyone fled with their children and their daughters. It is estimated that there will be no few servants at the moment."

"Yeah." Liu Yixuan nodded helplessly. These officials ran too fast and it was unlikely that they would be able to gather them again. So he said to Huang Wenyuan: "Huang Tuanlian, since you are an official from Dongping Prefecture and are familiar with the situation in the county town, I will report to King Kang Qiansui and recommend you to be the acting county magistrate and perform the duties of the county magistrate. Are you willing?"

Huang Wenyuan had never read any poetry and books. He was born in a military camp. He was nearly fifty years old and was only an eighth-rank official. Now his county magistrate has abandoned the city and fled to the point of nowhere. Even if the county magistrate returns, he will be punished for abandoning the city. Huang Wenyuan was secretly happy when he heard that Liu Yixuan wanted to recommend him to be the county magistrate of Dongping, and hurriedly said, "If you have any advice from Lord Liu, of course the younger one is willing."

"Okay, as long as you are willing, but then again, I can't guarantee that you will be the county magistrate. If the Ministry of Personnel sends a new county magistrate in the future, will you have to let Xian know?"

"Yes, yes, all the villains you are talking about understand. I just don't know how long will King Kang Qiansui and several generals stay in our Dongping?" Huang Wenyuan knew that this group of troops had passed by here and would leave sooner or later. Only when these old men from the capital had left, he could be the county magistrate, otherwise he would be called by them as slaves.

"How long does it take? Who knows! Why, are you so anxious to let us go?"

"No, no, no, the villain is not that. The villain thinks that since Prince Kang is going to Jeju for rescue, he shouldn't stay here for too long. Besides,... our county town does not have much money and food, so the villain is afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that our army and horses will waste your county town? Humph, look at your promising prospects. If these soldiers were not working hard on the battlefield, there would be no chance for you corrupt officials to fill your pockets in the rear? Damn, they are really a bunch of scum, no wonder they will destroy the country!" Liu Yixuan saw that this old slut was only planning to get promoted and make money, and he was angry in his heart. He wanted to remove him from his post and investigate, but he was afraid that he would not be able to find a candidate to take over, so he had to scold him for venting his anger.

"Huang Wenyuan, listen to me. You have two things to do now. One is to find a few people to clean up the county government. Prince Kang will arrive later and he will have to rest in the county government. The other is to send a message to the people of the city, so that they will not worry. If you want to save your home and your own lives, you have to follow the government to guard the city. From now on, the whole city will be martial law. All the young men in the city must be on standby by the city wall. Only by repelling the Jin soldiers can you live a stable life. Have you heard it clearly?"

"I heard it clearly, I heard it clearly." Huang Wenyuan was also a soldier, so he naturally knew that the military situation was urgent now and did not dare to delay major events, so he had to nod and obey his orders.

At dusk, King Kang Zhao Gou came to the county government office. Liu Yixuan told King Kang about the appointment of Huang Wenyuan as the acting county magistrate. Zhao Gou also felt that the handling was appropriate, so he followed his request. King Kang said to the generals: "Generals, now our army has entered Dongping City. What are the next plans? We have to discuss it carefully." He asked Ma Menglong again: "Ma Jiedu, you are the Jiedu of Runan, the emperor appointed by the Emperor of the Ruan, and a veteran who has been in the battlefield for a long time. How should we act in this situation now?"

Ma Menglong said, "Thousand-Sui's words really make the generals ashamed. The emperor asked the generals to follow Qiansui to support Ji King. Now that Jeju has been besieged by the Jin people, we can't enter Jeju City for a while. According to the lower opinion, it would be better to temporarily stay in the Dongping line and see the situation of the other reinforcements before making a decision. As far as the generals know, King Ji will definitely ask for help from Yanzhou and Qingzhou when he is surrounded. We will go to the decisive battle with the Jin people alone, which is tantamount to hitting stones with eggs, and will inevitably suffer heavy losses. If we can go to rescue with several other troops, it will definitely increase the chance of victory."

"Well, what Ma Jiedu said is reasonable, so let's do it. I will write a memorial to the emperor. Ma Jiedu will arrange a team of people to inquire towards Yanzhou. If the Yanzhou army and horses go north, they will contact their commander."

When Liu Yixuan heard that King Kang had made a plan so quickly, it was obviously discussed with Ma Menglong in advance, so there was no need to summon the generals to discuss. Ma Menglong didn't know what methods he used to make King Kang trust so much. However, there was nothing wrong with Ma Menglong's plan. After all, King Kang only had 30,000 troops in his hands. If he fought head-on with the Jin people, he would definitely have gone but not returned. It would be better to wait for the troops from Yanzhou and Qingzhou to join forces, so that he could face the Jin people head-on.

After everyone finished discussing, King Kang asked Huang Wenyuan to collect rice and flour from the people in the city, collect the grain and rice of several wealthy families in the city as military rations, and leave a loan note, promising that they would return it as much as possible after the war. The wealthy families in the city had no choice but to contribute all the grain and rice in their hands.

After rushing to dinner, Liu Yixuan and King Kang visited the city wall. As soon as he left the government office, a sentry hurriedly came to report: "Report to the prince, a Jin*** horse came to the north of the city, and General Liu was fighting against the enemy on the city tower."

"What? Why is another team of people coming? Grandma, this little Dongping County is so lively, and someone comes to attack the city in the middle of the night!" King Kang asked again: "Did you ever know who the enemy general is?"

"The enemy generals have little names, but they only saw the six words "Zhuozhou County Prince Wanyan" written on their big banner."
