The news of the Battle of Shiting had already reached Xiangyang, and although he had long been accustomed to Zhao Hao's constant victories, Zhao Hao's return still ignited the atmosphere of the entire city.

Countless people poured into the streets to cheer this great victory.

The majestic Beiwei army entered the city under the welcome of the people, and the cheering people brought hot soup and rice porridge one after another to comfort these soldiers who had returned from the expedition.

"General Zhao wins!"

"General Guan wins!"

The cheers came one after another, and even the faces of the soldiers who maintained order were filled with admiration and joy, wishing that they too would join the ranks of the backswains, and be held in the middle by these fathers.

Liu Ye has never seen such a scene, in his impression, the people of both big cities and small cities are afraid of soldiers.

When these heavily armed soldiers enter the city, the surrounding people will definitely scatter and flee, for fear of being swept into it, and even if it is a victorious queue, there will probably only be a small number of idlers to watch—

Everyone is so busy farming, who has time to come and see you big soldiers.

But in Xiangyang, everything is different from my impression.

What does the battle in Anhui County have to do with these Xiangyang people, and why are they so happy, as if they had won a battle.

He saw that there were people next to him who carried their children and grandchildren on their shoulders, so that those yellow-haired children could see with their own eyes the powerful military appearance of the Beiwei Army, and even from the shape of their mouths, he could tell that those people were encouraging their children and grandchildren to join the army.

Army?

How can it be?

Shi Bao was also confused, he had been in Nanyang and Yecheng, and he had never seen such a prosperous city, and he was in the team, and he was also regarded as a soldier of the Wei Army, and he kept sending wheat porridge along the way.

He drank bowl after bowl, almost rolling his eyes, but looking at the faces of the people who came to deliver porridge, he couldn't hide the longing on their faces, and he continued to drink bowl by bowl across his neck.

He had never heard of Xiangyang actually prospering like this before, and even most of the people in Luoyang City were all dish-faced, and only those children of wealthy families could be fed and clothed, and they could have leisure and leisure to linger in the market.

Can Xiangyang ......

Even if the people visible to the naked eye are coarsely dressed, they are also neatly dressed, by no means like most of the people in other cities are in rags, their faces are ruddy, full of spirit, the cheers and shouts soar into the sky, I don't know that there is a serious riot in the city, and a group of Diao people are about to make trouble again.

"These people, why are they so happy, and what does this war have to do with them?"

In these years, the warlords have been divided, and they have been fighting for years, a piece of land is his today, and it will become someone else's tomorrow, Shi Bao doesn't understand why a group of ordinary people are happy to be like this.

A soldier who was carrying the army snorted coldly and raised his head and said, "Of course you can't understand it. ”

Shi Bao heard the soldier's Jizhou accent obviously, and also changed to a Jizhou accent, and said, "Then please brother Tai for some advice." ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Brother, you don't understand, the new policy of the champion Hou has won the hearts of the people in Xiangyang, and these people can share the land, this year's harvest is bumper, and the general also gave everyone some rations;

Moreover, the champion Hou encourages businessmen, and several major businesses in Xiangyang are recruiting helpers, and a few families can go to the business to seek another share of wealth.

Now even the Hu people have heard the wind and come to buy goods, although Xiangyang is under the rule of the general, but everyone remembers the benefits of the champion Hou, and seeing the champion Hou is naturally like seeing his parents. ”

"Well, I see, but why ......did the champion Hou win thousands of miles away?"

Shi Bud suddenly realized that he had asked a very stupid question.

The prosperity of Xiangyang is definitely inseparable from stability, and the prosperity of these merchants is definitely inseparable from expansion, Zhao Hao's defeat of Cao Wei greatly weakened the biggest threat to Xiangyang, and brought a huge sense of security to the people of the city.

After that, if the Northern Expedition is continued and new land is collected, it is definitely necessary to continue to promote the model of Xiangyang, these wealthy businessmen in Xiangyang are the best spokespersons, they wish that Zhao Hao would seize the Northern Expedition and dominate the world as soon as possible.

When the time comes, they can integrate the good horses of the Western Regions, the ceramics of Eastern Wu, the fine wine of Jingzhou, and the silk in Shuzhong, which will be a thousandfold profit, and it is no wonder that they will be happy like this when they see Zhao Hao's victory.

"More than that!" The soldier said proudly, "Our Beiwei army not only has enough rations, but also the champion Hou who kills the enemy in battle does not hesitate to pay for it, we don't have to worry about farming, as long as we keep fighting, we can eat enough,

A general like the champion Hou who cherishes his troops, how many people can there be in this world? ”

The world has been in chaos for so long, and if he can keep his soldiers fed, clothed and warm, he can still be respected, and he is already a superb benevolent and righteous general, Zhao Hao is actually mad, and he actually gives a reward to this army? No wonder this group of people can be so crazy and willing to work hard for Zhao Hao.

"Champion Hou!"

Shi Bao hurriedly ran over and helped Zhao Hao lead the horse forward.

"Champion Hou, Bud has something to understand, and I ask Champion Hou to answer Bud's questions."

"You say."

"Cao Wei Xingtuntian repairs water conservancy, there is no shortage of food and salary, this army under your command does not produce, only fights, so you are not afraid of insufficient food and straw, which will affect the battle?"

"That's a good point," Zhao Hao just wanted to answer, but suddenly saw Liu Ye on the side with a eager expression, and couldn't help laughing: "It's better to let Mr. Ziyang answer on his behalf." ”

Liu Ye's old face turned red, and he really didn't dare to show off in front of Zhao Hao, so he had to smirk: "Champion Hou Gaoming, how dare Ye speculate?"

However, in Ye's humble opinion, this back-up army should be a sharp pawn in the army, with limited personnel, and when spring ploughing is selected during this battle, it is naturally invincible. ”

Damn, can you think of such a bad idea? Readers are terrible.

Zhao Hao never thought of sabotaging other people's production, but since Liu Ye said it, he also pretended to be a matter of course, and praised: "Mr. Ziyang is really smart, and he is very suitable for the heart of the general." ”

Dragged down by the particularly low productivity of this era, Zhao Hao was unable to make a huge leap in grain production despite a large number of improved seeds and advanced fertilizer accumulation technology.

Well, the fertile land in Jiaozhou can already achieve 200 catties of real estate per mu, this number made Zhao Hao almost vomit blood, but it actually made Ding Feng and Yang Yi hug each other and cheered, and almost kowtowed on the spot.

Therefore, Zhao Hao can only use the elite strategy all the time, he can't control other people's troops, and his own troops must ensure that the best of the best are selected.

He learned the lessons of the last Pound rebellion and cleared out the soldiers from the army who had lost their will to fight and no longer wanted to continue fighting.

Of course, he did not leave these people to fend for themselves, but provided them with land, and some skilled people were introduced to the trade or worked as other craftsmen to earn a living.

And those who choose to stay as soldiers to eat food and fight for Kuang Fu Han, one is to continuously strengthen their faith, and the other is to continuously improve their material treatment and sense of glory.

The daily work of this unit is hard training, the battle loss rate is low, the fighting spirit is high, and it can also receive bonuses according to the gains, so it is natural to move forward bravely, and it can form a dimensionality reduction blow to those peasant households who have just taken up arms.

Well, there is also Liu Ye's yin loss idea, if he takes advantage of the spring ploughing season to strike at the enemy's territory, even if he can't succeed in one go, he can also destroy the enemy's production in large quantities.

However, the damage to the local people caused by this kind of yin trick must also be devastating, so you must be cautious when using it.

Shi Bao has been mixing with the soldiers of the Beiwei Army these days, and has a deep understanding of the exuberant spirit of these people, and he thinks about it carefully, this kind of boss is indeed worth his life and death to follow.

Moreover, the fighting quality of the grassroots officers of the Beiwei Army even far surpassed him, which made Shi Bao, who had always been pretentious, feel very pressured.

No, I Shibud wants to get ahead, I must get ahead!

Zhao Hao is very powerful, maybe he will have the ability to sweep the world in the future, and now he is in urgent need of talents, and I still have a chance.

Thinking of Dongwu's friend Deng Ai, Shi Bao was resentful and envious.

Back then, the two of them were insignificant officials, and they even had to give people a car, but Deng Ai had become a general of the Annoying Army, and this time the Battle of Shiting was won, maybe he could be crowned.

And he ......

"Champion Hou, the last general also wants to join the Beiwei Army, serve you to the death, and move forward."

Shi Bao's voice was categorical, and a long-lost female voice also sounded in Zhao Hao's ears.

Congratulations on the achievement: Stonebud's Admiration.

System Reward: Beginner Chest!

"Wow, why did you appear again?"

Zhao Hao was very happy, and agreed to Shi Bao's request, Shi Bao was overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed on the ground, he just stood up, and suddenly there was a flower in front of him, and the hairs on his body suddenly stood up together.

"Kill Zhao Hao and avenge Lai Min!"

A strange cry sounded in the crowd, and this familiar voice made Zhao Haodu's face stiffen.

An emaciated man in black was holding a snowy big knife, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was an assassin, and screamed at Zhao Hao to kill.

Immediately, there was a burst of exclamations around, and a bunch of ordinary people in the crowd suddenly rose up like a whirlwind, with all the sharp blades in their hands, and they actually hulala and rushed towards Zhao Hao.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Hao was stunned, but Shi Bao, who had just finished expressing his loyalty, knew that his opportunity to make meritorious service had come.

"Don't panic, it's Cao Wei's school business, form a formation to protect the champion Hou!"

He shouted at the top of his voice, but he didn't expect that there would be someone with a louder voice than him.

"These are Laimin's comrades, and if they come, they will slaughter me if they don't stay!"

I saw Guan Ping with a cloak, holding a big knife, out of nowhere, without greeting, he was already the first to kill into the crowd, and the head was a knife, and the assassin who looked like a common man was slashed in two on the spot!

"Brother, why are you here!" Guan Yinping asked in surprise while pulling out his knife to protect Zhao Hao.

Guan Ping's face was hideous, and his body was awe-inspiring, he didn't have time to respond to his sister's call, and waved his big knife as if he was in a no-man's land, and in an instant, he cut several assassins with a lot of farts and urine.

These assassins practiced subtle assassination techniques, preparing to wait for Zhao Hao to get closer and fire a salvo with a crossbow first, and then kill together.

But if you don't die, someone shouted at the top of their throats before it was launched, which alarmed the backing army around Zhao Hao.

They were helpless, knowing that they had to seize this last opportunity, so they could only kill together.

But Guan Ping didn't know why he appeared here, not only him, but Liao Hua and Avanti also led Guan Ping's personal guards to arrive together, and they broke these assassins into two sections in an instant.

"Hahahaha, you comrades who came to Min, your strategy has long been seen through by the general, and you will be arrested before you are tied, and you will be given a way out."

Guan Ping said this, but his hands became more and more energetic, and more than a dozen assassins were killed by him like chopping melons and vegetables, and they were already dead in an instant.

The remaining Assassins saw that the situation was not good and fled.

They were dressed as civilians, and they drilled into the celebratory crowd, but it was really hard to find out, and they heard the shouts of killing one after another, and several assassins no longer cared about the professional ethics of assassins, and only hated their parents for giving birth to two legs for themselves, and ran all the way without mentioning it.

Zhao Hao blinked at a loss, and when he looked around, he found that the assassin who was the first to shout just now had also disappeared without a trace.

"I said, Tanzhi, explain to me what's going on?"

Guan Ping wiped a handful of the stinking blood on his face, and said: "These are Laimin's comrades, who set up a killing array to kill you, but I found out early, and sure enough, I arrested them again." ”

"Looks like a few of them ran away?"

"Uh, it's not important, the flaws are not hidden......"
