In the middle of March of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Danshui and Xixian returned to governance, and a few days later... The champion returns.

The news of the Zhang family in Hanzhong, all the seven counties was like a gust of wind, scattered to all sides.

Of course, it is not surprising that after the news of Zhang Yong's occupation of the seven counties spread, whether it was the Cao family, Xinye Liu Bei... None of them made any moves, as a rare hero in the world, the city government of Cao and Liu is very incomparable.

It's just that... When Liu Biao, who was far away in Xiangyang, learned the news, he couldn't help but break a few vases, perhaps because it did not meet Liu Biao's expectations, or for other reasons, Liu Biao, who was still angry, called Cai Mao to reprimand him fiercely after some tossing.

……

Nango.

After taking all the seven counties, out of strategic location considerations, Zhang Yong temporarily placed the seat of the seven counties in Nanxiang City, ordered soldiers and horses, silently digested the fruits of the seven counties, and tried every means to enhance the strength of his command.

Seven counties... In addition to temporarily adding 100,000 people to Hanzhong, 5,000 new soldiers and horses were added to Zhang Yong in a short period of time. Nearly half of them are poor children from Qizhai.

In the face of Zhang Yong's price code for fields and houses, these young people who have had enough of hard days... Without hesitation, he chose to throw himself into the arms of the Zhang army in Hanzhong.

As for Yang Ping, such a martial artist, Zhang Yong naturally would not let him be idle, and he would be appointed as Sima and temporarily obey orders under Wei Yan.

If you add the 1,000 county soldiers and 3,000 sailors in Wudang City, the seven counties at this moment... There are more than 15,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong.

Putting aside the generals, it may not take long for the number of sergeants to catch up with Liu Bei's side.

……

Nanxiang County Ya.

The increase in the number of counties has led to a more prominent situation of the lack of officials and advisers under Zhang Yong's command.

It's like Peng Yi... Even Zhang Yong is rarely seen once in a few days.

In the early morning of this day, after Zhang Yong finished practicing his sword, he was pulling Meng Qiu to study the fragment of the Unknown Soldier's Book borrowed from the Yuan family, when the two of them were bored, Liao Hua suddenly walked in.

"Governor Dadu, the golden platform has been poured, and the military advisor asks the Governor to come over."

"It's ready!"

With a sudden, Zhang Yong bounced up in an instant, with a little excitement and excitement on his face.

"Let's go... Let me take a look. ”

Without giving Meng Qiu and Liao Hua time to react, Zhang Yong stepped forward and pulled the two of them out of the county office and went to the east gate of the city... The direction of the Golden Terrace.

……

The east gate, dozens of zhang inward.

This place was originally a prosperous place in Nanxiang City, and there were endless passers-by.

A prosperous place is incomparably expensive.

But even so, in order to completely start the reputation of Jintai, Zhang Yong gritted his teeth and pulled up more than ten attics of houses on the west side one after another.

As the de facto ruler of Nanxiang City today, the means in the meantime naturally cannot be treated like the enemy... Skillfully grabbing, buying and selling, but fortunately, those Haoqiang clans in Nanxiang City left a lot of mansions.

It didn't take long for Zhang Yong and the others to rush over. At this time, the Golden Terrace was already surrounded by countless curious people, three layers inside and three layers outside.

"The Grand Duke!"

Seeing Zhang Yong's figure, Peng Yi led several officials to hurriedly step forward and salute.

"Yongyan, it's been hard these days!"

Peng Yi's mental strength looks okay, but... The figure, but he has lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a few days, which made Zhang Yong feel distressed for a while.

"For the sake of the Metropolitan Governor, for the future of Hanzhong! It's all worth it! ”

The golden platform in Nanxiang city is not big, covering an area of several acres, more than three zhang high, and the golden platform covering an area of dozens of acres and seven zhang high in the Yanzhao period is naturally incomparable, poor county and a country, this kind of loss is not what Zhang Yong can afford at present.

"Yongyan, spread the list! Within seven days, I want all parts of Jingzhou to know the news of my recruitment in Hanzhong. There is no distinction between high and low people..."

Step by step onto the golden platform, Zhang Yong's expression became more and more stable.

In this life... The fate of Hanzhong will be rewritten.

……

At the end of March of the thirteenth year of Jian'an.

A meritocracy recruitment list came out of Nanxiang, from Nanyang... It spread to all parts of Jingzhou in Nanjun, and there was an uproar in all parts of Jingzhou.

"Humph! Mu monkey and crown! A yellow-mouthed child, who gave him courage! Again and again challenge the majesty of my Jingzhou? ”

Jingzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Junwei vibrate, and the subordinates of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion can't remember how many times Liu Zhoumu has been angry these days.

It seems that after the defeat of General Zhang Yun, the anger of the state pastor seems to be getting bigger and bigger day by day, and now it is difficult to see the gentle and elegant figure.

"My lord! Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhang Yong had already taken advantage of our wrong judgment this time to gain a firm foothold in Nanyang. The wings are growing, and you must not look at them from the past. ”

Nanyang Seven Counties... Coupled with the soldiers of Fangling, there are no less than 20,000 soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in Zhang Yong's hands, which is almost comparable to Liu Bei.

If you treat it from the same perspective as before, I'm afraid that Jingzhou will make another mistake.

recalled Zhang Yong's amazing achievements again and again since he emerged. Even wise men like Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are a little more cautious.

"So what do you say you should do? Do you want me to watch that yellow-mouthed child in Jingzhou? ”

In fact, in the matter of the seven counties, Liu Biao already had a plan to suffer a dumb loss in his heart, and after a few days of consumption, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.

Just because he was so angry, it was because Zhang Yong's recruitment list disturbed the people of Nanjun in a few days, and there were already a lot of negative voices in his ears in private.

He knows that in order to win over the Jingxiang family over the years, he has indeed suppressed some talented people from poor backgrounds, these people... Naturally, he was dissatisfied.

Now Zhang Yong's recruitment list is undoubtedly an excellent outlet... Even if these people don't follow Zhang Yong, they will definitely take the opportunity to mock him.

The state pastor is in the hall, and his mind and knowledge are not as good as a yellow mouth.

"At this time, I still have to focus on cultivation and recuperation, repair armor, prepare soldiers, recover as soon as possible, and it is not easy to make a big move. However, if the lord wants to vent his anger, this matter is not difficult. ”

"Zhang Yong wants to recruit talents, so why not send a sailor to the north, cut off the passage to the north, and only allow the south... You are not allowed to go north. In this way, within a month, Zhang Yong's so-called golden platform and recruitment list will definitely become a big joke. ”

Shaking his head, Kuai Liang said indifferently.

Although I have seen Zhang Yong's mind and bearing, I can see it in Kuailiang's eyes... Zhang Yong is too shallow after all.

Although there are 100,000 soldiers in Hanzhong, the depth is too long, and it is difficult to have too much support for Zhang Yong. It's only a temporary thing, and it can't last long.

"Zirou's plan is very good!"

Hearing Kuai Liang's plan, Liu Biao's expression turned slightly, he chuckled, and raised his palm.

Thinking of Zhang Yong's deflated appearance not long after, Liu Biao's mood was much smoother.

If you want to buy horse bones, the herd in this state is not as proud as you.

"That's right! There is one more thing, the ransom of the captured soldiers, you still have to pay attention to it. ”

Untied the knot in his heart, Liu Biao's complexion was also a lot ruddy, and he gradually became more upset about some things.

"Don't worry! In the past two days, I will personally go to Nanxiang City to meet this yellow-mouthed child for a while. ”

Regarding the ransom of the captives, Cai Mao is far more concerned than Liu Biao, after all, the two descendants are still in each other's hands. These days, those old people in the family have basically blown up his head.

For this reason, he also sent envoys to Fangling, but basically they were blocked by the other party on the grounds that most of the governors were not there and could not be the master, and there was no intention to talk about it at all.

Fortunately, now the situation in Nanyang is slowly calming down, and after taking all seven counties... There is no need for Zhang Yong to hold these thousands of captives anymore.

……

Nanyang, Huyang, an ox cart is slowly going west on the pipeline, the car is driven by a strong man, his arms are powerful, at first glance is a person who often practices martial arts, behind the man lies a woman, with a round belly, it looks like there is July and August.

"Honorable... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to work so hard! ”

Looking at the man in front of her, the woman's eyes suddenly became hot, with a little self-blame and guilt.

"What do you say! It should be said that... Entering our Fu family is the one who suffers you! ”

Turning around and stroking the woman's face, the man smirked with a little pity.

If it weren't for the Fu family, who had fallen into the middle of the family, why did he leave Yiyang with him and suffer from leaving his hometown.

"The pity is not bitter... I just feel sorry for my husband! Maybe... This kid didn't come at the right time! ”

"I am not allowed to say this again! Since we have him, we must give birth to him, raise him, and watch our children grow up. You can rest assured! You can't go to Jingzhou, and you can't go to Hanzhong! Now Zhang Yong, the son of Hanzhong, is recruiting talents in Nanxiang, and all talented people are born regardless of their background. I've heard that... Wen Chang also left Jingzhou and joined the command of the prince Zhang Yong, who made many military exploits, and now serves as a school captain, in charge of an army. Although your husband can't be literate, he can't even keep the ancestral business at home, but he has a little bravery, and the chief of the text is there, and when the time comes, you won't have to be afraid all day long when you are mixed in the army. ”

"Hmm!"

Looking at the tender man in front of her, the woman lowered her head obediently and said no more.

Because she knows how much her husband has sacrificed for her and the child in her womb.

If it weren't for those powerful people who coerced the lives of their mother and son, how could they give in with her husband's temperament.

If she wasn't worried that she would be unable to cross the river now, how could her husband turn to Jingxiang and go to Nanxiang to give up the ideals in her heart?

For a while, there was no shadow of the official road, and there was silence, and the husband and wife seemed to fall into a short silence.

……

Outside the city of Zhuyang, a tea shop.

A scribe in his thirties, looking down and listening intently to the recent events of Nanxiang City from time to time by a few passers-by not far away, his eyes paused, and a few bright lights crossed it.

"Maybe... Compared to going to Jingzhou to go to Pang Yi, Hanzhong Zhang may be a better choice..."

With a low groan, the scribe got up and paid for the tea, picked up his bags and chose the way to the north, his steps were light and powerful.
