At this time, although the county seat of Wushan is known as a city, it is actually shabby, and the only building with a certain scale is probably the city tower in the northeast. But the place of this city is also well chosen, east of the Yangtze River and Wuxi (Daning River) confluence, west of the mountains, the riverside of the city covers an unexpectedly flat area, in the mountains is really rare, the northeast entrance is also relatively flat.

Guo Shaobu's naval division directly arrived at the east wharf of the city from the Yangtze River, and the land soldiers crossed the river from the Daning River ferry and entered the city from the northeast entrance of the city.

When the army enters the city, the people in front of it will certainly not drag the chaotic mule and horse vehicles into the city like refugees, and there will always be a bit of ceremonial pomp. Guo Shao and several generals rode into the city with five hundred well-equipped heavy armor soldiers.

Shu is rich, but mainly the Xichuan Plain is rich, and this small city in the deep mountains is not as good as the war-torn land in the north. There are large areas of low and old buildings in the city, and the team of the Zhou army with bright armor is particularly conspicuous.

In addition to their bright armor, the military discipline of the queue is also very rare in the remote frontier.

The rhythmic drum beat of "Dong Dong Dong ......" was accompanied, a small drum hung in front of the belly of a soldier in front of him, and a neat column of infantry marched in line with the sound of footsteps "click, click, click......". The drums are fast-paced and the footsteps are slow, and the two sounds complement each other to sound a little boring, but nice. More footmen entered the city one after another, and the avenues of this small city seemed to be filled with troops in an instant.

For decades, there has been no outside army to fight here, and the people may not be fully aware of the danger of force, and many people are actually watching from the side of the road. There were also some people who hurriedly called their own people back and closed their doors.

Guo Shao led his troops to the county government with the military generals and officials who had surrendered in the county seat and some squires followed by the heavy infantry command to the county office: a dilapidated classical building complex. If you come here in the middle of the night, you have to think of a haunted house. The military flag of the Tiger Ben Army has been hung above the entrance hall of the county office.

The army stopped in the street outside, surrounded by many onlookers. Guo Shao was very relieved to see this, and he didn't let the people hide like a ghost entering the village.

Everyone looked at themselves, Guo Shao's emotions were also more excited, and he immediately walked to the gate to face many people. Seeing this, Lu Chengyong and the others rode their horses to the street and said: "Don't shout, Guo Du will be inspected and lectured!" ”

Guo Shao looked back left and right, and saw the soldiers in armor and the chaotic officials and people all looking at him, and he felt that he should make a statement at the moment. The noisy noise of the crowd gradually subsided, Guo Shao was surrounded by all the soldiers, saw that there was a board car next to him, so he stood up, thought for a while, and said loudly: "I am a person from Hebei (five generations of 'young man' origin), and then the family withered, and now I have a ...... in Tokyo."

Everyone thought that the opening of the official was the great reason of the person, but unexpectedly, this general went up to introduce himself to the people of what place. The officials and the people were suddenly interested, and the noisy people looked over one after another, looking at the young man standing on the cart.

In his previous life, Guo Shao seemed to have seen where that Shu language belongs to the northern language family, and most of the Shu people can understand the northern dialect, as long as they don't speak dialect words. Guo Shao's words are obviously still very understandable.

He continued: "I live in Hebei and Tokyo, because they are our homeland, and maybe many years ago, the villagers in Hebei still moved south of the Yellow River. In those places, the same people have lived since ancient times, and they have been one since ancient times. The same is true of Shudi, only because of the wars of the past few decades and the feudal territory of various places, there is Shu State! He shouted, "We are of the same clan, we have the same blood, we are fellow villagers......

The countless eyes of the people seem to have gradually changed a little, maybe they do understand Guo Shao's heart, maybe it's just Guo Shao's illusion.

Guo Shao said movingly: "The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty came from the east of the Yangtze River, trekked hard and fought bloodily, and in this deep mountain and dangerous place, they paid blood and sweat, and many people died...... Brothers for what? In order to end the original division, end the melee, and end the useless cannibalism, let the once common family reconnect together, dominate the world, and maintain long-term stability, so that the descendants of Yan and Huang can reinvigorate the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Now, I have buried my brothers who died in battle in Wushan, and they will never go back. I hope that all the fathers and villagers of Wushan County will not think that they are bad people, let their young souls rest here, this is also their land, and I hope you will remember what they fought and died for. Only a hot-blooded good family will sacrifice for others! ”

Guo Shao didn't make a draft, and he didn't even think to say this when he entered the city, and he showed it casually, and he found it very inciting. The first to be felt was the soldiers of the Zhou army, and the soldiers knelt on the ground, looking at Guo Shao with respect, and for a while he seemed to be deified. Even Zuo You's eyes were red, and he looked up at Guo Shao adoringly.

"The Meng family, the lord of Shu, was originally not a Shu person, but for the sake of his own power and wealth, Shu fell into war. The Great Zhou army did not come to conquer the people of Shu, but to recover the lost territory, overthrow the lost government, and let the people return to one family. ”

Guo Shao looked up at the tiger flag on the side, and also saw the endless green mountains in the distance, and shouted: "Standing under the tiger flag that I fought for and entrusted with all the glory, I treat the soldiers and people of Shu equally with my sincere heart; Treat all soldiers as brothers, treat the military and civilians with justice in everything. I look forward to the day when all famine will disappear from the land, all evils will be punished, all talented people will be promoted, all good people will be rewarded, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and a prosperous state will be established. ”

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Hooray!" Suddenly, the soldiers knelt down and shouted long live.

Guo Shao felt that something was wrong, as if he was too excited, but he was not ready to do anything...... What can 20,000 men do in this ravine? In the midst of the chaotic shouts, he quickly got off the cart and left the scene in a hurry.

…… In a room across the street from a county front, several people in silk robes listened for a long time. A middle-aged man spoke: "Then Guo Du will not check to buy people's hearts, just talking about fun?" The martial arts of the Central Plains are like wolves and tigers, and there are people who do not burn and loot when they enter the city? ”

An old man said slowly: "Yes, you have seen little, there are also generals in this world who have not committed any crimes." Besides, it's better for him to come in and show goodwill to us Wushan people than to come and slaughter the city? ”

"What Grandpa said is very true." Several people chimed in.

The old man said: "After a while, you go to raise money, buy some wine and meat, and get ready to go to the army, others will give face, we have to carry it, right?" ”

"Yes, yes......"

…… Soon after that day, a lot of people suddenly came from the mountains and on the other side of Wuxi, but there were many mountain people, men, women and children, many people even wore animal skins and savages, saying that the Zhou army wanted to send grain relief and carry grain. Guo Shao remembered that he had really said that, so he ordered them to stay outside the city, and ordered the granary of the county government to be opened to put some grain.

At this time, Dong Zunzhi sent someone to report that the Shu army had burned down the plank road by the Qutang Gorge River, and there were mountains on both sides of the Yangtze River with no road to pass, and it was difficult for the sailors to pass.

Guo Shao wrote a military order and asked Dong Zunzhi to organize craftsmen to repair the plank road. The plank road is a bridge built by punching holes in the stone wall and inlaying them with wood, which is very scary to walk on, but it is still a road. The Shu army can burn the wood, but the stone hole is not easy to destroy, and it costs less to rebuild it than to open a new plank road.

The army traveled hundreds of miles, and the roads were difficult and exhausting...... The plank road could not be crossed again, so Guo Shao ordered the whole army to rest in Wushan County; At the same time, he sent people to ask the local officials about the surrounding terrain and other roads.

There were some wounded soldiers in the army, and there were many sick people, probably caused by water and soil adaptation, occasional wind and cold, and seasickness. At this time, the army would not bring too many Langzhong...... In the past, Guo Shao was with a group of wounded soldiers after the Battle of Gaoping, and the "Langzhong" accompanying the army was actually Zuo You. Lang Zhong is generally found locally, and Guo Shao is no exception, ordering Wushan to demote officials to find Lang Zhong to treat the wounded and sick soldiers.

The general Li Tong led an army of 10,000 to surrender in Wuxia, and persuaded the city of Wushan County to surrender, which was very rewarded by Guo Shao. His troops were transported to Jiangling Mansion by boat one after another, and after becoming a bare pole, he was not treated as a prisoner at all, and from time to time he could still go in and out of Guo Shao like the generals of the Zhou army.

Guo Shao was also willing to talk to him in order to understand the situation of the Shu army. Today, Guo Shao didn't ask about military affairs, and just after going to see those injuries, he remembered someone and asked Li Dong: "General Li is not from Wushan County?" ”

Li Tong said: "The last general came from Chengdu Mansion and followed Wang Zhaoyuan, and it was the reinforcements from the East Road led by Wang Zhaoyuan. ”

"I see." Guo Shao was slightly disappointed, and said casually, "Do you know that there is a person named 'Wushan Holy Hand' in Wushan County?" ”

"Yes!" Li Dong said.

Guo Shao was surprised: "Even the people in Chengdu Mansion know her reputation? ”

Li Dong shook his head: "I heard about it in Kuizhou, because it was spread too much." For example, there is an incident that says that the daughter-in-law of a family in the mountains died of illness, and the family has already dressed in linen and filial piety for the funeral, and everyone has been put in a coffin. The white grandmother of Wushan passed by there collecting medicine in the mountains, and wanted to beg for saliva to drink, and when she went in to take a look, she said that the daughter-in-law was still alive. Ichiji, hey! It's really alive, you say God is not God! ”

Guo Shao smiled when he heard this, looking at the braggadocio of this martial artist, where is there the appearance of a defeated person?

The general said: "Guo Dashuai called the Wushan County Commander over to ask about this, he has been an official here for several years and has never had the opportunity to be promoted, so he must be very clear about local affairs...... It was in the morning at the gate of the city kneeling and shouting about the civil official, saying that for the sake of the people of the city, that person has nothing to do with him! It's not that he defends the city, and it doesn't matter whether he descends or not. ”

"Very good." Guo Shao nodded and glanced back at Zuo You. Zuo You nodded slightly: "Wait a minute, lord, I'll ask where the county order is." ”
