This was only the first day, and the calm in Nanzheng City was only temporary.

Jin Jue knew very well that although Fu Tong and the others made a decision by killing during the day and shocked the people in the city, Zhang Lu Yu in the city would not stop there, and would definitely take advantage of the dark night to disturb the whole city.

It is always inevitable to set fires, break into people's homes, kill people and take money, and disturb order in the city by such despicable means. What's more, there are also contradictions and problems involved in religions, conflicts between religions, and so on.

Sometimes, religion will always drive some overindulged people crazy.

Jin Jue has Bao Chu by his side, so he is not worried about his safety, but it is with this in mind that he reminded his subordinates Cheng Lian and other five generals before the war that they must be careful of assassination by Xiaoxiao gangsters at any time.

In Yizhou, you should be especially careful about this, because in history, the land of Yizhou was a frequent place for assassins by assassins.

When Liu Xiuping, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was the Gongsun Shu of Yizhou, two generals were assassinated in succession, one was Lai She, and the other was Cen Peng.

During the Shu Han Dynasty, Fei Yi was assassinated by the Wei people.

When the Yang brothers surrendered to themselves, Jin Jue also reminded their brothers. As a general, he is especially hated, and if the assassins under Zhang Lu feel that Jin Jue's guards are complete and they can't find any opportunity to take advantage of, the next first target to assassinate is Yang Ren.

At this point, in fact, even if Jin Jue didn't remind him, Yang Ren understood this truth.

Therefore, in recent times, it is not yet time to relax.

The situation in Nanzheng Chengzhong was temporarily stabilized, but the entire four counties in the western part of Hanzhong County, except for Chuzhong County, the other three counties gradually became a pot of porridge in the next few days.

Last night, before Yan Pu was captured, he had already sent people out of the city to Anyang County, Chenggu County, and Baozhong County to ask for help. In fact, during last night's battle, Yan Pu had already realized that something was wrong. That's why he made such an arrangement in advance. Unfortunately, he is the only one in the city who has the awareness of this.

If Yan Pu was by Zhang Lu's side, he would definitely try his best to persuade Zhang Lu to stay in the city, gather troops, and wait until the dawn of the enemy army for a decisive battle, but unfortunately, he unfortunately met Cheng Lian soon and was unfortunately captured, so he would shout for Zhang Lu to leave Nanzheng City immediately.

Before Yang Ren left, he had suggested that his younger brother Yang Ang should lead the defenders of Nanzheng City who surrendered to Jin Jue, and follow Wei Yan to Ba County, and he himself took a small number of men and horses to Baozhong County to persuade the 10,000 directly subordinate troops of Yang Ren who had been divided. However, his suggestion was rejected by Jin Jue.

There are two reasons for this,

First, for the sake of checks and balances, the Yang brothers can continue to lead the troops, but before Zhang Lu is caught, it is best not for their brothers to continue to lead the soldiers they have trained themselves in the past.

Second, because the 10,000 people in Baozhong County were all released by Jin Jue, these people's attitude towards Jin Jue must be more deferential and easier to grasp than other Zhang Lujun soldiers.

Combining these two considerations, how could Jin Jue put a soldier who could quickly transform into his own strength into the hands of the Yang brothers?

Therefore, when Jin Jue learned of this information, he immediately sent someone to inform Cheng Lian, and asked him to immediately lead a small number of soldiers and horses to ambush the traffic arteries in Baozhong County under his own banner after arranging the blockade of the road between Nanzheng County and Yangping Pass.

Jin Jue can be sure that as long as Cheng Lian shows up, these 10,000 people will inevitably surrender to Cheng Lian immediately.

……

Five days later, good news came from all three directions: east, southeast and south.

Shen Mi and Lou Fa led their troops to ambush on the road leading to Nanzheng County in Anyang County and Chenggu County respectively, and they all saw the soldiers sent by Yan Pu to ask for help, and did not stop them, when the county lieutenants of the two counties led the defenders out of the city and prepared to rush to the aid of Nanzheng County.

Both of them chose to launch an ambush at dawn, and each of these two counties sent 5,000 defenders, but in the case of this five-fold superiority, the reinforcements were unsurprisingly defeated by the second general, and they also led their troops to follow closely behind the defeated army, taking advantage of the situation to break into the county seat of the two counties, and took Chenggu County and Anyang County in the same night.

Cheng Lian only brought a hundred cavalry and forced down the defenders who came out of Baozhong County to aid Nanzheng County, a total of 15,000 people. As expected, Yang Ren's 10,000 directly subordinate troops, as soon as they saw Cheng Lian's banner, they disarmed and surrendered, and the remaining 5,000 defenders of Baozhong County, in desperation, were coerced to surrender to Cheng Lian.

These three roads took the three counties without much effort, and the rest depends on whether Cheng Lian can quickly take Chuzhong County, and what kind of situation Wei Yan and Yang Ren can play in Ba County.

One thing, Jin Jue knows very well that among Ba County, the attitude of the Ban Yu Barbarian Seven Surname Tribe is particularly important to the tripartite forces now entrenched in Sanba.

It is no exaggeration to say that if all the seven tribes of Ban Yu were willing to submit to him, Jin Jue would dare to lead his troops to Bashu now and compete with Liu Zhang for control of the entire Yizhou.

For this reason, Jin Jue specially instructed Yang Ren that after he sent someone or personally went to meet the leaders of the seven surnamed tribes, he didn't have to beat around the bush, and directly told the other party the conditions he offered.

In order to be able to capture Yizhou as soon as possible, Jin Jue can be said to have made a bloody investment this time.

Jin Jue's conditions are three.

First, all tribal tribes of the Ban Barbarians were exempted from all taxes and servitude.

However, Jin Jue asked Yang Ren to specifically mention that everything else can be exempted, but military service cannot be exempted. After occupying Yizhou, Jin Jue would recruit a certain number of troops from the seven tribes of Banyu Barbarian every year to serve as soldiers.

Second, official positions.

Hanchang County and Danqu County in Ba County are the main settlements of the Banyuman tribe.

Therefore, Jin Jue can let the tribes with the seven surnames choose two chief officials in these two counties, the county commander and the county lieutenant, but the county chief must be appointed by Jin Jue himself.

Third, military rank.

Whoever surrenders to himself first and is willing to contribute part of his tribe's forces, Jin Jue can appoint him as the third general in Jin Jue's army.

The first and second are Cheng Lian and Yang Ren.

Don't underestimate the title of a general, even Sun Ce has to send an envoy to Emperor Han Xian to ask for an official. Appointing oneself on oneself is not enough to deter the locality.

And Jin Jue just has the title of general.

At the beginning, after Jin Jue broke through the city of Caohan and obtained the head of Song Jian, he ordered someone to send this thing directly to Luoyang City.

After Emperor Han Xian learned of this, he didn't want to fulfill what he had promised Jin Jue.
