An hour later, the army came to the city of Piling.

Tai Shi Ci ordered the people to carry Yan Yu's body to the city, and ordered the enemy generals in the city to surrender. Yan Yu went out of the city to meet the Shu army and handed over the responsibility of defending the city to his lieutenant, this lieutenant general is also a fierce general, he knows better that every hair in his body has infinite evil, once it falls into the hands of the Shu army, it is absolutely difficult to survive, rather than this, it is better to fight to the death, there are only more than a thousand enemies under the city, he has a great chance to repel the enemy, once the enemy army is forced to retreat, he will escape from the city in disguise, and then with the wealth accumulated over the years, it is enough to live the rest of his life comfortably; Even if you fail, the worst outcome is only death, which is better than falling into the hands of the enemy, and it is better to die than to be tortured!

Tai Shi Ci saw that the enemy would not surrender, and his heart couldn't help but be angry, but it was obviously impossible for him to break through the Biling with a thousand soldiers who did not have half a siege machine, but this was difficult for Tai Shi Ci, he saw that the enemy general actually showed most of his body and insulted himself loudly, inserted the gun in his hand straight into the soil, and slowly untied the three-stone hard bow from the saddle.

The enemy general at the head of the city saw Tai Shi Ci taking the bow in his hand, but he did not have the slightest fear, but laughed recklessly, because he knew that the distance between him and Tai Shi Ci at this time had far exceeded the range of the bow and arrow, and in his eyes, Tai Shi Ci's move was just a helpless vent after being provoked by himself!

Tai Shi Ci was not moved at all, raised his bow and slowly pointed at the laughing enemy general, suddenly, Tai Shi Ci took out an arrow from the quiver on his back at a speed that was difficult for others to see, took out an arrow, and opened the bow.

"Haha...... Yes...... Ho...... Ho ......" The enemy general who laughed uncontrollably suddenly screamed, as if a large and medium-sized thick slug surged in his mouth, and unconsciously screamed twice, and then fell down the city wall.

The enemy at the head of the city did not know why, but looked suspiciously, and saw an arrow deep into the throat of the enemy general facing the sky, and from the length of the shaft left empty, they immediately understood that the arrow must have pierced his neck. Thinking about this, hundreds of enemy troops on the city wall couldn't help but stir up stormy waves, you must know that the distance between the enemy general and Tai Shici is more than 20 zhang of the range of the bow and arrow, and it is already an incredible meaning to be able to hit the throat with an arrow at such a long distance, this arrow not only hits, but also has such a powerful penetrating power, what does it mean? Obviously, this distance is not the limit of the other party......

As soon as he thought of this, all the enemy troops on the city wall seemed to have suddenly received an order, and they lowered their bodies neatly and hid behind the city wall.

Under the city wall, when the Shu army saw Tai Shici hit the target with an arrow at such a distance, they couldn't help cheering in unison, and even called "Divine Shooting".

Tai Shi Ci rode alone to the city gate and shouted: "The benevolent and righteous army of the King of Shu is here, you can wait for Ruokai City to surrender, so as to avoid death, if you are obsessed, after the city is broken, Yan Yu is your example!" ”

Several low-ranking generals in the city immediately reached a unanimous decision after deliberation, and someone dared to poke his head out and shouted: "The general spares his life, I am willing to surrender ......"

Gan Ning cut off Yan Yu's head and marched all the way, and when the enemy saw Yan Yu's head and the strong strength of the Shu army, all of them fled in despair, and no one dared to use his mantis arm as a car. Three days later, Gan Ning led his troops to Wu County, but found that the "Shu" flag was erected at the head of the city.

After entering the city, I learned that Wu County had been taken over by Lusu yesterday, why did it say that it was received rather than captured? It turned out that when Yan Baihu heard that the 80,000 troops of Shu were coming to Wu County in two ways, and his brother Yan Yuye had died in battle, he knew that with his own strength, let alone revenge, even blocking it for a while was probably wishful thinking, when even if he fled into Taihu Lake with a thousand henchmen, it was considered Yan Baihu's luck, and half an hour later, I am afraid that he would meet Lu Su head-on in the lake.

After Yan Baihu fled without a fight, the counties of Wu County naturally did not dare to oppose the Shu army, and those who felt that the responsibility was not heavy and that they were lucky took the initiative to send someone to contact Lu Su and ask to abandon the darkness and turn to the light; Those who know that their sins are unforgivable follow the example of Yan Baihu, wrap some softness, and never know where to go.

From the dispatch of troops to the pacification of Wu County, it took only thirteen days. Then, Lu Su invited Yuzhang Taishou Huaxin and Yangzhou Assassin Liu Jian to write a joint book with him, recruiting Huiji Taishou Wang Lang.

Wang Lang is a master of scripture in the late Han Dynasty, frugal and thrifty, deeply respected by the scholars and the people, and Lu Su, Wang Lang is also from Donghai County, the two people in the famous township have known each other for nearly ten years, and have a deep friendship, Lu Su respects Wang Lang's person, and is unwilling to meet with Wulang soldiers, this is the same as Wang Lang's deep friendship Hua Xin and Wang Lang's nominal boss Liu Xiang (although Liu Xiang avoided retreating to Jiangnan, but has always been the official appointment of the imperial court Yangzhou pastor, even if Wang Lang supports the army, neither listen to the adjustment nor listen to the announcement, But the two have always nominally retained a relationship between their superiors and subordinates) as lobbyists together, hoping that Wang Lang can make the most correct decision for himself and all the people.

Wang Lang received letters from two old friends and his boss, and after tossing and turning all night, he finally made a decision to accept the opinions of Lu Su and others and join Shu.

Liu Zhang learned that Lu Su only took a month, paid less than a thousand casualties to capture the three counties, couldn't help but be very happy, ordered the whole army to reward Lu Su, ordered the formation of the 13th Cavalry Division in the Third Field Army, the division commander is Liu Zhang's very admired Tai Shici, and with Liu Xuan, Wang Lang's hands and horses as the backbone, the formation of the 23rd Infantry Division, the Ninth Infantry Independent Brigade, the commander of the 23rd Infantry Division is Liu Xuan's old general Zhou Xin, and the commander of the Ninth Independent Infantry Brigade is Zhu Heng. Before this, Zhu Heng himself was just a white ding, why did he fall into Liu Zhang's eyes and be directly promoted to the commander of the first brigade? Many people believe that this is a compromise method adopted by Liu Zhang in order to stabilize the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, because not only Zhu Heng, but also many people from the three counties of the south of the Yangtze River were appointed to various important positions by him.

I have to say that these people are right, at least not all wrong! How could Liu Zhang, who was a guest of later generations, not know? At this time, the four surnames of Wu County were only rich gentry with many land, and there were few people in high positions, so the political prestige and influence of the four surnames at this time were not large, far from the kind of prestige after the establishment of Eastern Wu, but it is undeniable that the four surnames of Wu have begun to grow up and are rapidly expanding their family influence. Liu Zhang naturally knows the abilities of these people, how can he let them go? They must all be in your pocket! Because of this, like Zhu Heng, Gu Yong, Lu Xun, Zhang Yun (not the one who died in Jingzhou), Xu Gong, Yu Fu and others were all requisitioned by Liu Zhang and entrusted with important tasks, which killed two birds with one stone, not only put a large group of talented people in the bag, but also appointed a large number of local gentry as officials and reduced the resistance of the local people to Shu State, which could make the three counties integrate into Shu in the shortest time.

In addition to the reorganization of the army, Liu Zhang also adjusted the positions of the three county guards. Liu Xuan, the Yangzhou pastor appointed by the imperial court, was appointed to the original position, and transferred Yuzhang Taishou Huaxin to Yangzhou (his post was taken over by Xu Gong), Danyang was too shou Gu Yong, Wu Jun was too shou Lu Xun, and Wang Lang was transferred to Chang'an to serve as the official Lang, and the post of Taishou was taken over by Yu Tuo, with Zhang Yun and Quan Rou as the chief and deputy commanders of the Yangzhou Supervision and Military Division, and the Yangzhou garrison was formed.

After Lu Xun lost his father at the age of ten, he has been living with his grandfather Lu Kang from his grandfather Lu Jiang, but in the second year of Xingping, Lu Kang saw that Yuan Shu was aggressive and worried about the safety of his children and grandchildren, so he sent his son Lu Ji and Congsun Lu Xun and others back to their hometown in Wu County, Lu Ji was only eight years old at the time, and the older Lu Xun picked up the burden of the Lu family on his shoulders, although of course he was only twelve years old! However, under the leadership of this "young" master, the Lu family has not seen the slightest decline in the past two years, but has shown a thriving trend, and Lu Xun has won the respect and support of the family, and his name as a young hero is even more famous in Wu County. Because of this, Lu Xun, who was only fourteen years old at this time, took the position of Wu County Taishou unusually smoothly, as if the people of Wu County took Lu Xun for granted.

Solving the personnel of the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River, there is one of the most important tasks in front of Liu Zhang, that is, Shanyue! As a guest from later generations, Liu Zhang doesn't have to rack his brains to think hard about how to solve the problem, he just needs to see what Sun Quan did in history, and he can basically do it! Liu Zhang recalled the historical records, and then made modifications, which was a wonderful plan to solve Shanyue once and for all!

Historically, Sun Quan's crusade by force, after decades of achievements, is to level Shanyue, Liu Zhang did not want to waste so much time on Shanyue, so he adopted a rigid and soft approach, begging, recruiting peace. Liu Zhang ordered the soldiers of each county to protect the borders, and ordered Lu Su to send heavy troops to guard the dangerous places, divide and surround Shanyue in the mountains and rivers, only repair the fence, do not confront each other, and when the grain is about to ripen, the army will crusade, burn the grain fields and settlements in Shanyue, cut off its grain and grass, and make it have no food and clothing. At the same time, Liu Zhang ordered all counties to post the list widely, vigorously promote the national policy of Shu, and called on Shanyue to automatically go out of the mountains and rivers, Liu Zhang assured all Shanyue people in the list that all Shanyue people who are willing to lay down their arms, Liu Zhang in the name of the king of Shu to ensure the safety of their lives, to ensure that their property is not violated, and at the same time will give everyone fields, houses, farm tools, cattle, and grain!

Shanyue people live in a place where many poor mountains and rivers are bad, and the output of grain has always been very low, and even subsistence is a problem, so naturally there is no storage, because of this, in the months when the grain is exhausted every year, Shanyue will come out of the deep mountains and rivers to plunder. Lu Su and Liu Xuan's execution according to Liu Zhang's order made Shanyue fall into the predicament of food shortage, and before this year, nearly 400,000 Shanyue people* settled and surrendered to Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang properly resettled these Shanyue people according to his promise. And when the remaining stubborn Shanyue people couldn't stand the hunger and planned to go out to loot as in previous years, only to find that all the roads had already been blocked, and they forced their way? When tens of thousands of Shanyue people fell in front of the Shu army blockade line, the Shanyue people had to choose to retreat. This year, the people of the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River suddenly found that the Shanyue people who had suffered from the south of the Yangtze River for several generations had almost disappeared without a trace, and they could live a stable life, and they no longer had to worry that the Shanyue people would suddenly break into their villages and rob them of their food, wives and daughters. The following year, Liu Zhang ordered some of the Shanyue people who settled in the counties to go deep into the places where the Shanyue gathered to preach Liu Zhang's policy, since they could live well outside, why did they have to struggle to survive in this poor mountain and bad water? Therefore, more and more Shanyue people spontaneously walked out of the deep mountains. In the end, it took Liu Zhang less than three years to make Shanyue almost extinct in the three counties south of the Yangtze River, although there are still a few people still living in the deep mountains and Daze, but because of the scarcity of numbers, it can no longer threaten the stability of the three counties.
