After the last Wuhuan was killed, the county soldiers erupted in loud cheers.

"We won!"

"Zhang Xiancheng is mighty!"

Some people even knelt on the ground and wept bitterly after the end. They were originally from Shanghe Township, and in this disaster, their relatives basically died, and only a few people were captured, and now they have been rescued. Now that the revenge has been avenged, their relatives can rest in peace.

Those rescued villagers all came to Zhang Hao and bowed down in unison, "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the county." ”

Zhang Hao was immersed in such cheers, and his face was filled with the joy of victory for a while.

The battle ended with a complete victory for the Fangxian county soldiers led by Zhang Hao.

Because of the night attack carried out by the Wuhuan people when they were completely defenseless, coupled with the advantage in numbers, the casualties of the county soldiers were very small when the Wuhuan people were completely annihilated.

At this moment, Zhang Hao was listening to the results of the statistics of his subordinates.

"In this battle, our troops completely annihilated a total of 212 enemy troops. One hundred and ninety-five horses, thirty-two horses, two hundred and thirty-one swords and weapons, and more than 5,000 arrows were captured. ”

"In addition, the materials looted by the Wuhuan people from Shanghe Township were also seized, totaling 300 gold, 4 million money, and 1,500 stone of grain."

"Our troops suffered nineteen minor wounds and five killed. In addition, in the course of the fighting, 26 civilians were accidentally wounded and three died. ”

"At that time, 429 people were taken prisoner, and 391 were rescued by our army. Except for the three people who were accidentally killed, the others were confirmed to be women from Shanghe Township, and after receiving insults from the Wuhuan people at night, they were either tortured and killed, or committed suicide afterwards. ”

After the subordinates finished talking about the specific situation, they looked at Zhang Hao with a bright face, and felt that the county in front of him was too powerful. When everyone wanted to back down and give up, he was the only one who sent troops to rescue the villagers. Now that it's successful, it's definitely a lot of credit.

After listening to the report, the joy on Zhang Hao's face slowly faded.

The current Wuhuan people are also considered enemies, and life or death has nothing to do with Zhang Hao, but five of his soldiers died, which made him a little uncomfortable, if it wasn't for his own instigation, they wouldn't have had to die.

Thinking of the women who died in humiliation and the more than 500 villagers who died before, Zhang Hao felt very uncomfortable.

It's just that there are no immortals in war, and it is already a great victory to have such a result as it is now.

Except for Zhang Hao, who was sad because of those who died, these county soldiers were very excited. Because they won the war against the invaders, and victory means good.

"You took people and burned the corpses of those Wuhuan people. Then make some planks and carry back the dead on our side, and give each another five thousand dollars on the imperial pension, and send them to their families when they return. ”

The bodies of the sisters were also brought back, and when their families claimed them, they gave them a hundred dollars. If no one claims it, the county is responsible for the burial. "It is true that there will be family members who think that a woman's virginity has been lost and will not admit that she is their own family.

"And the people who were rescued gave each of them a hundred dollars and a stone of rice. Tell them that the county will help them rebuild their homes when they get back. ”

"For the rest of the trophies, the commanders who participated in the war each shared hardware and ten stone rice; The captain each has one gold and five stone rice; five thousand dollars and three stone rice; Wu Chang 2,000 coins, 2 stone rice; A soldier is a thousand dollars, a stone of rice. ”

"As for the soldiers who followed and did not participate in the battle, they gave each one a hundred dollars. This is an additional reward, and the court reward is counted separately. Zhang Hao thought for a moment and said his disposal plan.

His subordinates were stunned by Zhang Hao's generosity, he was one of the tun chiefs, and he immediately received a reward several times higher than his annual salary. This made him a little incredulous, after all, this battle was not too dangerous.

"No."

Before you know it, it's already dawn. After a simple repair, Zhang Hao led a team of nearly 1,000 people to return to Fang County.

……

At this moment, Gongsun Zhan, who was far away in Changli's Changshi Mansion, had just received information that Tanma had come back.

"General, there is an urgent military situation." It was one of Gongsun Zhan's most powerful subordinates, Guan Jing, who spoke.

Gongsun Zhan, who was bowing his head to deal with military affairs, did not raise his head to look at Guan Jing, and said calmly: "Speak." ”

"According to the Tanmalay report, a few days ago, a group of more than 200 Wuhuan cavalry bypassed the border city and secretly went south."

"Huh?" Gongsun Chan put down the pen in his hand, "I know where they went." ”

"Fang County."

"Hurry up and gather five hundred cavalry, led by Shan Jing, and go directly to intercept the Wuhuan people on their way back from the north." Gongsun Chan immediately made arrangements.

At this moment, a small official walked in with a report.

"Qi Qi Changshi, Fang County Cheng sent a report."

"Fang County?" Gongsun Chan thought hard for a while, but he didn't remember that there was such a person.

"He is a young man who Liu Tingshi asked Changshi to help him last time, his name is Zhang Hao."

"Oh~, I remember, there is such a person, take it."

"No."

Gongsun Chan took the report, looked at it for a while and was a little surprised, and unconsciously let out a "Huh?" ”

"Long history, is it about the Wuhuan cavalry?" Guan Jing asked.

"Yes, it said that the Wuhuan people ransacked Shanghe Township, killed more than 500 people, and robbed more than 400 people, this Zhang Hao himself took 500 county soldiers to chase and kill the Wuhuan people." Gongsun Chan said with a smile, with a hint of contempt in his tone.

"Oh?" This time it was Guan Jing's turn to be surprised, "This scholar Zhang Hao has such guts, he actually dares to use county soldiers to chase and kill the Wuhuan cavalry?" ”

It also says that he gathered three hundred horses and formed a cavalry on an improvised basis. Hmph, a group of rabble riding ordinary horses, isn't it even a rabble. ”

"If you rely on the infantry, you can still deal with the Wuhuan people, but now these people who can only simply ride horses will collapse as soon as they come into contact with the Wuhuan people."

"The plan just now remains unchanged, let Shan Jing continue to lead troops to block the attack." Gongsun Chan said.

"No."

……

As soon as he returned to Fang County, Zhang Hao received a grand welcome.

After the people in the county knew in advance that Zhang Hao had returned from victory, they all spontaneously came to the outside of the city to greet him.

"Zhang Xiancheng is mighty!"

"Thank you Zhang Xiancheng for rescuing the villagers who were taken away."

"There are too few officials like Zhang Xiancheng who think about us and other ordinary people." ……

Zhang Hao, who was originally riding on a horse, dismounted and walked when he saw the people going out of the city to greet him.

"Protecting the township and benefiting the people is the purpose of the official. Fathers don't need to thank me, I just did what a local official should do. I want to thank and should thank our soldiers in Fang County, it was they who attacked for hundreds of miles and saved our relatives at the cost of life and death. Zhang Hao said.

"The children of my hometown want to thank me, and even more so to thank Zhang Xiancheng, if it weren't for Zhang Xiancheng's leadership, maybe we would still be the same as before, enduring the pain of losing our relatives and unable to take revenge." The third elder walked to the front of the crowd on crutches and said to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao shouted at everyone, "Fathers and fellow villagers, rest assured, as long as I, Zhang Hao, am still in Fang County for a day, I will not let such a thing happen again." Then he personally supported the three elders and walked at the front of the crowd into the county seat.

After that, the people dispersed, and Zhang Hao returned to the county office, and he wanted to write a report on the incident, and write two copies.

One was sent to the subordinate government to Gongsun Zhan, after all, Zhang Hao's dispatch of troops this time had his consent in principle.

The other was sent to the Jixian Thorn History Mansion to Liu Yu, one was to report the situation, and the other was to ask for credit.

When he returned to the county office, there were already people waiting for him there.

"Congratulations to the county for returning victorious." Mi Zhu said to Zhang Hao with a smile.

"Thank you Zizhong, if you hadn't lent me three hundred horses, I wouldn't have been able to catch up with the Wuhuan people, and you have half of the credit." Zhang Hao also said with a smile.

"The county has a good reputation, and I am only doing a small job, and I can't take credit." Mi Zhu shook his head.

"Don't call me a county cheng, it's a lot of life, you and I are the same age, just call me Mingde."

"You don't want to take the credit, but the interest still needs it. You see, I brought back the three hundred horses to you as they were. In addition, I have captured thirty-two horses and presented them to you as a token of my gratitude. Zhang Hao said with sincerity on his face.

Mi Zhu still shook his head with a smile and said, "Since Mingde said that there is no need to be so polite, then what interest is there to mention." I don't lack these horses, I lack friends like Matilda. After speaking, Mi Zhu looked at Zhang Hao.

"Hahahaha, Zizhong treats me as a friend, I'm really lucky in my three lives." Zhang Hao laughed, this heart is really happy. The person in front of him is one of the richest people in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, a local tyrant among local tyrants.

Liu Bei can start from Xuzhou and be defeated repeatedly, and the test is to have the support of Mi Zhu's bankrupt family. Otherwise, he would not have been crowned as General Anhan after seizing Yizhou, and his status was still above Zhuge Liang.

"I just have something I want to ask about it."

"Mingde, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Zizhong traveled north and south, I wonder if you have ever heard of a grass called alfalfa?" Zhang Hao asked.

"Alfalfa? I know that in the past, Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, and when he came back, he brought back many crop seeds that my Han did not have, and this alfalfa was one of them. ”

"It's just that as far as I know, this alfalfa is mostly used by the people in the years of famine, and the people use it as a wild vegetable to satisfy their hunger. But I didn't know that it could also be used to feed livestock. Mi Zhu said with a smile, the first time he had heard such words.

"Zizhong didn't know that this alfalfa grass is more suitable than other forages to feed livestock, which can make it grow stronger than ordinary livestock." Zhang Hao explained.

"Don't hide it from Zizhong, I plan to build a government-run ranch in Fang County. The large area of wasteland in Fang County was put to use, and this alfalfa grass was planted to feed livestock. Use the proceeds to improve the livelihood of Fang County. ”

"If Zizhong is interested, I can let you join the shares, how about it?"
