Only by sharing weal and woe will the soldiers treat you as their true own!

Li Zhongyi has always kept these four words in mind and has always followed them, and the result is that the army only obeys his command!

After eating breakfast in the pile of soldiers, Li Zhongyi strolled through the barracks with his hands behind his back, wandering around and observing around.

Patrolling the barracks at will, this is a good habit that Li Zhongyi has developed over the years, and it has been recorded without interruption.

Yang is contrary to yin, and bullying is actually an inevitable situation. The key is that the superior must maintain a good habit of observing the lower situation, so as not to be deceived by the bad guys.

Li Zhongyi could see that the morale of the soldiers was extremely high and their fighting spirit was unusually strong.

Well, the military heart is available, Li Zhongyi nodded frequently, and there was always a shallow smile on his face.

Zhang Sanzheng saw that the emperor was in a very good mood, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the little ladies in Chengdu are all very smart? ”

Li Zhongyi glanced at Zhang Sanzheng, he knew very well in his heart that Zhang Sanzheng's words were voiceover.

In the Guards, there are a considerable number of soldiers who, for various reasons, have not yet married.

Zhang Sanzheng means that when Chengdu is taken, the soldiers can be matched to get married.

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that Zhang Sanzheng's wishful thinking was that after taking Chengdu, when people were panicking, the dowry offered by the soldiers would be much less.

It is both economical and affordable to solve the lifelong major events of the soldiers, Li Zhongyi is naturally optimistic.

In terms of the general trend, after taking the Xingyuan Mansion, the puppet Shu court has lost nearly one-third of its territory.

If Yangping Pass is lost again, it will be equivalent to the door of northern Shu being opened, and the important places that can block the Han army's southward movement will be left, and only Jianzhou and Langzhou will remain.

Jianzhou, that is, the famous Sword Pavilion in history, is also known as Jianmen Pass. Langzhou, which was a very famous Langzhong during the Three Kingdoms period, is now the seat of the puppet Shu Baoning Army.

Less than three days after Yang Chong left, he secretly returned to Xingyuan Mansion. Immediately, Li Zhongyi received the news that Yang Chong's nephew, Yang Yuanji, was willing to return to the Han Dynasty.

It's just that Yang Yuanji was worried that Li Zhongyi's words didn't count, so he asked Li Zhongyi to give a certificate.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, Yang Yuanji was probably not sincere in surrendering, but wanted to delay the time for the Han army to attack Yangping Pass.

Unlike Xingyuan Mansion, Yangping Pass is built on the mountain, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The main thing is that artillery is difficult to transport.

Yang Yuanji should have known about the existence of the artillery from Yang Chong's mouth, however, Yang Yuanji had not witnessed the power of the artillery with his own eyes, and it was obvious that he had doubts in his heart.

After taking Xingyuan Mansion, Li Zhongyi did not rush to attack Yangping Pass, the main reason was that Liao Shanhe of the Middle Route Army had already received accurate news.

The Middle Route Army led by Liao Shanhe, who has now broken through the Shu army in Luogu, is on the way to Yangping Pass.

The army led by Li Zhongyi only had a total of 30,000 people, and after the continuous division of troops in the Meridian Valley, Yuanzhou, and Xingyuan Mansion, he had only more than 15,000 troops at hand.

However, the defenders of Yangping Pass have as many as 10,000 troops, and they are an authentic hard bone. Therefore, in order to reduce unnecessary losses, Li Zhongyi simply waited for Liao Shanhe's middle route army to come to join the division, and then jointly attacked the Shu army on Yangping Pass.

Li Zhongyi's idea of using soldiers, except for fighting against Zhao Lao Er at the beginning of Hechi's army and using dangerous moves, has always been extremely cautious, for fear of being ambushed.

It can be said that he is a model student who is only cautious in using soldiers!

In fact, Li Zhongyi was mainly influenced by the Qin general Wang Qian. Wang Jian used his troops to crush the past with superior forces, pressing steadily step by step, not giving the enemy the slightest chance to counterattack.

The elimination of Shu is a strategic unification task, and a few days earlier and a few days later are all great undertakings that must be completed.

In fact, Li Zhongyi is not in a hurry at all, and the core point is to minimize casualties and get the most results.

Xingyuan Mansion has just been taken, and the hearts of the people in the city are far from stable. However, Li Zhongyi has issued an order that merchants must resume opening their doors within two days, especially grain stores.

After Li Zhongyi finished reading the official document, he led Zhang Sanzheng with his hands behind his back and walked through the streets of Xingyuan Mansion.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and they came and went in a hurry, and there was a hint of panic in people's expressions.

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that this was the inevitable sequelae after the end of the war.

On the street, the soldiers of the Han army were sweeping away the blood marks on the stone road and the remnants left by the battle.

Along the way, there were many soldiers in the army, who kindly knocked on the doors of ordinary people's homes, helping to carry water and firewood.

Li Zhongyi couldn't help nodding frequently, that's right, people's hearts are flesh and blood, people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?

At the beginning, perhaps the common people could not understand the fine style of the Han army. However, Li Zhongyi has reason to believe that after a long time, the common people will naturally see clearly who is the army that protects their interests.

"Fellow, don't be afraid, we are the people's own army, there is an order from above, no robbery, no injury, no ......"

The officials of the town are doing propaganda from house to house, even if the people dare not open the door, they seem to be very patient.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, if you want to win the hearts of the people, you must start from small things. Pile by pile, piece by piece, done in a down-to-earth manner, the people's impression of the Han army will naturally undergo earth-shaking changes.

The registered population in Xingyuanfu City is about 20,000 households, which is calculated according to a family of five, that is, there are about 100,000 people.

A city of 100,000 people, even in the Han Dynasty, was not a particularly small state city.

As the saying goes, one side of the mountains and rivers raises one side of the people, and the wealth of the Hanzhong Plain can be seen from this.

"Captain, please accept it, you must accept it......"

"Can't take it, can't take ......"

Suddenly, there was a quarrel on the side of the road, which immediately attracted Li Zhongyi's attention.

"Fellow, there is a military order from above, and you can't take a stitch from the people."

I saw that a soldier in military uniform waved his hand again and again, pushing the coarse porcelain bowl handed over by the old lady.

Li Zhongyi could see very clearly that the bowl held by the old lady was full of red jujubes.

Military regulations are strict, prohibiting officers and soldiers from taking any belongings from the common people, even if they have done good deeds, they are not allowed to take the benefits of others.

Helping the people do good deeds and not receiving any returns; this is an iron law drawn up by Li Zhongyi in combination with the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, and no one in the officers and men dares to violate it.

Zhang Sanzheng noticed that Li Zhongyi's face was not bad, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Most of the soldiers of the Han army in Xingyuan City were his subordinates of Zhang Sanzheng.

Now, the subordinates are performing very well, and Zhang Sanzheng's face naturally has light.
