Cao Cao set up a new army in Runan, dispatched troops to sharpen his sword, and his heart to the south was clearly revealed. The land in the west of Nanyang is important, it can be a barrier, but ... After all, it was when our army was in control of the general situation, and Hanzhong did not dare to act rashly... The same is true for Cao.

Nowadays, the army in the west is empty, and the number of troops has become a quagmire, mixed with Cao's and Hanzhong... and Liu Bei Central. ”

At the mention of Liu Bei, Kuai Yue glanced at Liu Biao slightly, and saw that Liu Biao was not unusual, so he continued.

"In this case, why not give up the western counties with a broken wrist, Cao's, Hanzhong, and Liu Bei, no matter who is involved, it will be difficult to get out in the short term, Zhang Yong and Liu Bei will never watch the western counties fall under the Cao's iron horse, if the Cao family moves, these two forces will definitely do their best, if the Cao family does not move... No matter who gets the western counties on these two sides, whether they want to or not, they will definitely become a new barrier for my Jingzhou and bring a respite to my Jingzhou, just like Zhang Xiu at the beginning. ”

"My lord... Isn't it a matter of Liu Bei's heart, so why not take this opportunity to test Liu Bei's mind! The pure one is self-purifying, and the turbid one is turbid, if he really has no ambition, he will definitely do his duty. ”

The western counties of Nanyang, even if they are really lost, they are nothing! After all, Jingzhou's foundation is not there. Since you can't defend it, then throw it out and let them fight and grab it, it is better than bringing in Liu Bei in the end and funding Liu Bei, the enemy of life and death, in vain.

"It's... Is that what you mean, or what all of you mean? ”

The hoarse voice was a little matching, but there was an unconcealable pressure in that calm gaze, which made Kuai Yue bow his head deeply.

"Zirou!"

"My lord! We may be selfish, but everything we do is for Jingzhou! If Liu Bei is in charge of Jingzhou, where will the two sons go? ”

The struggle for power has always been full of bloody killings, and Kuai Liang's words suddenly made Liu Biao's heart sink.

If Liu Bei wins Jingzhou one day, Cai Kuai's two families are afraid that their vitality will be greatly damaged.

Can Qi'er and Cong'er really be treated well?

Han family and bloodline!

At this moment, Liu Biao's doubts shrouded his heart here.

Kuai Liang said, how could it not be a secret wound in his heart, otherwise... How could he be hesitant to ask for help from Liu Bei.

"Just do as you say! Xu withdrew Danshui, Nanxiang, Wudang, Shunyang, Xixian, Liguo, and the champion's soldiers, and the army was in Yin County, Yuxian, Zhuyang, Shandu, Anzhong, Suixian, and Nieyang. ”

"In addition, send someone to contact Zhang Yong and find a way to redeem the captured soldiers!"

"No!!"

Fang Ling.

After defeating the Jingzhou army in the eastern camp of Fenshui and recovering Fangling County, Zhang Yongyu ordered Yang Ang and Wei Yan to withdraw their troops without further action.

In the continuous month of the battle, the spirit of the soldiers in Hanzhong was almost to the limit, and with the addition of half of the surrendered troops, the most urgent problem now in front of Zhang Yong's case was: reorganize the army and cultivate.

After a few days of delay and a few days after Chuanjie's letter was sent, Nan Zheng finally decided on all kinds of matters related to the reward, and arrived at Fangling quickly.

County office.

Zhang Yong took the letter handed by Peng Yi, and he was indescribably excited.

In addition to the rewards for meritorious officials such as generals at all levels, Zhang Lu agreed to his request and made him the governor of Shangyong, Fangling, and Xixian counties.

"Yongyan, convene civil and military discussions!"

Holding the letter in his hand, Zhang Yong's heart was uneasy for a long time, with this order, he and Peng Yi had been planning for a long time... I was finally able to do it.

The wind swept suddenly, the sky was clear, and the blue heaven and earth were like the eyes of the gods above the nine heavens, looking down on the beings on the earth.

School grounds.

The flag is flying.

In addition to the soldiers stationed in Changyi and Fanshui Dongying, almost all the middle and senior generals at all levels in Fangling City were able to mobilize a large army and gathered on the school ground.

"Since ancient times, there have been meritorious rewards, but there is no merit! Since the end of the twelfth year of Jian'an, our army has fought in Jingzhou several times, with perseverance, winning more with less, and guarding our homes and the fathers, wives and children behind us with countless blood.

In Yong's view... All the soldiers present are warriors, pillars of my Hanzhong, and meritorious heroes! Respectfully! Reward! ”

"Since Huan Ling's official eunuchs are in power, the yellow scarves are rising, and the princes are fighting... Natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, white bones are broken, and the people have nothing to do! More than twenty years and four years have passed.

Fortunately, my father, who founded Hanzhong, accepted the people of the Quartet, cultivated farmland, reduced forced labor, and paid taxes lightly, and it took more than ten years to have a peaceful scene of Hanzhong's governance. ”

……

"This has the credit of the Zhang family in Hanzhong, and also the credit of everyone present! In Yong's view, Hanzhong... In the Han Dynasty, which is not a family with one surname, it is with the addition of a steady stream of fresh blood that the Han side can repel the land of the Quartet, protect the land and protect the people, and achieve a happy land in this troubled world. ”

"Eternal words! Let's announce it! ”

On the school platform, Zhang Yong was dressed in a military uniform, and he said thousands of words freely, as if he had an understanding in his heart, and his expression became more and more stable and calm.

However, as a party, what Zhang Yong doesn't know is! At this moment, the veterans, soldiers, civil ministers, and generals present were all interested in Zhang Yong... This led them to several battles, and the future heir of Hanzhong has a lot of recognition.

"Shizi! Mighty! ”

"Shizi! Mighty! ”

……

The high cheers pierced the sky for a long time.

"Fang Ling guard Yang Ang, come forward and listen to the seal!"

"The last general!"

On the left side of the school platform, Yang Ang was slightly distracted, never expecting that this first merit would fall on him, the general of the defeated army.

"Yang Ang, the guard of Fangling, has guarded Fangling for a long time, as the barrier of Handong, protecting the land and the people, and fighting to the death, it should be the first merit! He was specially promoted to the rank of Lieutenant of Fangling with a bounty of fifty. ”

"The last general has thanked the lord! Thank you! ”

Although Zhang Lu was not there, it did not affect Yang Ang's gratitude to Zhang Lu at the moment, and solemnly bowed towards the direction of Northwest and South Zheng.

……

"Wei Yan stepped forward to listen to the seal!"

"The last general!"

"Qing Ben Zhuyu, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, now several battles, for my Han neutrality and immortal merits, I am specially promoted to the captain of Pingyu, with a bounty of fifty."

"Wen Chang, we still need to make persistent efforts! Don't let down your father's trust! ”

For Wei Yan to hand over the armor and sigil that symbolized the authority of the school captain, Zhang Yong patted Wei Yan's shoulder angrily, trust and expectation... Go without saying.

"The last general will not fail the Lord and the Lord"

"The mediocre guard will apply for delay..."

"Junhou Liaohua... Promoted to the position of military Sima, with a bounty of thirty. ”

"Junhou Wang Ping..."

"Descend to Qu Wu..."

……

The reward from Nan Zheng was at the highest level of the fake Sima, and from the bottom, Zhang Lu basically followed Zhang Yong's request and passed it in one stroke.

On this day, although there is some nepotism, Liao Hua, Wang Ping, Ma Zhong, Wei Yan, who are in the line of Zhang Yongyan... A large number of people have been promoted to a greater or lesser extent, and in just a few months, they have climbed to the height that ordinary people can only survive in half a lifetime.

As for Meng Qiu, he is still like that, unwilling to lead the army... I just want to honestly guard Zhang Yong's side.

"Wansheng !!"

"Wansheng !!"

As boxes of copper coins were brought to the colonel, countless cheers broke through the sky again.

The reward of the middle and senior generals, ordinary soldiers can only look at the heat in their eyes and lift their spirits.

But what is in front of them is closely related to them.

In these troubled times, the military... In addition to the sense of responsibility to defend the land and protect the territory, it is not about begging for food for himself and the family behind him to live a better life.

"Li Da Niu... Kill two enemies, and the reward is three hundred..."

"Luo Ming... Kill one enemy, take a blade in your chest, and reward two hundred..."

"Bai Rong killed five enemies, captured two thousand enemies, and rewarded a thousand dollars..."

……

Influenced by his previous life, Zhang Yong naturally would not be stupid enough to pay the money and let the people below do this kind of thing to win people's hearts.

Although there were many soldiers and it took a long time, Zhang Yong still persevered from the beginning to the end, and from time to time he shushed the cold and asked for warmth, patted his shoulder, and other small actions, which made Zhang Yong's prestige soar by leaps and bounds.

On the side, Peng Yi looked at Zhang Yong not far away, and there was an irrepressible excitement in his heart.

He could clearly feel that the son of his family was transforming at a rapid pace, and was gradually approaching on the road from a young eagle to a male master.

Loyalty, love for the people, courage, strategy, heart, city, skill... The qualities of those in power, all of which are filling at breakneck speed.

"That's right! There's something I forgot to tell you! ”

The slanting light was sprinkled, and I don't know how long it took for the top of the school field to be a little quieter.

Looking at the countless figures, Zhang Yong's heart turned, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"The lord gave me the post of lieutenant of Jingdong, and ordered me to be the governor of the three counties of Shangyong, Fangling, and Xixian for major military and political affairs. You will be fighting with me for a long time to come! ”

"Meet the Grand Duke! He was the governor of the capital who died!! ”

"Meet the Grand Duke! He was the governor of the capital who died!! ”

……

The calm school field erupted into a burst of cheers again, wave after wave. For the soldiers present, Zhang Yong gradually became their backbone, and Zhang Yong would be overjoyed if he could take a step higher and continue to lead them.

Governor General of the Three Counties Military Administration!

Outside of Hanzhong, it may not be nothing, but the authority of a general of the Cao family's miscellaneous number may be a few points greater than Zhang Yong.

But in this Han, Zhang Yong can already be called a "big" word.

……

West of Nanyang.

With the transmission of the decision of the Jingzhou Prefecture Governor's Governor's Office, although the soldiers defending the city in each county were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey the military order, so they could only retreat south slowly in accordance with the requirements of the order.

The seven counties of Danshui, Nanxiang, Wudang, Shunyang, Xixian, Liguo, and Champion seemed to have become a borderless city for a while.

"What! Liu Biao actually withdrew his troops! ”

Just a few days later, Zhang Yong was suddenly shocked by this sudden news, and his eyes were a little doubtful and thoughtful.

Although the main force of the Nanyang Jingzhou Army was lost in battle, after all, the foundation still exists, and there is no need for much, as long as the reinforcements all the way are far away to contain the Fangling soldiers and horses, the situation can be stabilized and slowly recovered.

This... What kind of idea did Liu Biao Hulu play.
