Chapter 178: Victory
In Shangyong City, there is a lot of traffic, and there are not many people who enter the city, but there are many business travelers who are detained here.
There are only a few trade routes from Jingxiang into Shu, Zhuyang Pass, Shangyong City, Xicheng County, and then to Nanzhengcheng, the capital of Hanzhong, and finally through Jiameng Pass, through Zitong County, you can reach Shu County, an important town in Sichuan; This is the trade route that business travelers take.
However, at this time, Xicheng County was in a big war, and even the caravans of the four wealthy merchants did not dare to cross the line of fire rashly at this time, so they could only wait for the end of the war in Xicheng County in Shangyong City. Now it is the beginning of the troubled times, and such things are very common in the Central Plains. The business travelers have suffered a lot, but they can't complain.
However, the flow of people in Shangyong City is surging, and the most are the displaced people who come from Jingxiang and drag their families with them.
Uncle Liu Huang recruited displaced people in Jingxiang, and now almost 20,000 households have been resettled in Fangling County, Zhuxi County, Yang County, Shangyongcheng and other places. There are more displaced people gathered in Shangyong City, and when the battle in Xicheng County is over, they will go to Xicheng County with the soldiers. Perhaps, it will go further, and it is not necessary to continue to drive into the hinterland of Hanzhong.
At this time, the guard of Shangyong City will be Mi Fang.
When Uncle Liu Huang entered the territory of Hanzhong, Mi Fang was not in the army.
At the beginning, when Uncle Liu Huang fought in Xuzhou in World War II, Mi Fang was sent to Yuan Shao in Jizhou for help. It's a pity that before he arrived in Jizhou, Uncle Liu Huang retreated from Xuzhou. There was no need to ask Yuan Shao for help, but Mi Zhu did not dare to return to Xuzhou.
Their Mi family supports Uncle Liu Huang, Cao Cao knows about this matter, once he Mi Fang returns to Xuzhou, Cao Cao may not kill him, but he will definitely not be less confined or suffer some hardships or something.
In desperation, Mi Fang could only lurk on the spot.
Later, the news of Uncle Liu's entry into Hanzhong came, followed by a letter from his brother.
So, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mi Fang followed her caravan to Shangyong City.
Then, the situation in Xicheng County was tense, and Uncle Liu Huang and they all pressed to the front line, so he let Mi Fang sit in Shangyong City.
Mi Fang still has some ability, and as Uncle Liu Huang's brother-in-law, Uncle Liu Huang is still more relieved to have him guard Shangyong City. Of course, the only one who is a little uneasy may be Zhuge Kongming.
But Zhuge Junshi also had no objections. Although Shangyong City is also a key place, it is located in the rear after all. Zhuge Kongming is not worried about Mi Fang making any more trouble.
……
Mi Fang, with his own soldiers, was inspecting the city defense.
Although Shangyong City is a big rear, Mi Fang still doesn't dare to be careless.
He didn't worry about Zhang Lu bypassing Xicheng County to sneak attack Shangyong City, but he was just on guard against some large robber cottages taking advantage of the fire to rob. It must be known that there are not many defenders of Shangyong City at this time, although there are 5,000 troops in the city, they are all new soldiers, and he has to continue to train Mi Fang.
As he was inspecting to the west of the city, Mi Fang suddenly saw a puff of dust and smoke rushing from outside the city.
He was not worried that this was an enemy attack, but the scale of this puff of dust and smoke was not large, and there were about a dozen horses.
When they got closer, there was a group of messengers carrying red flags.
"Big win, big win!"
"The lord defeated Zhang Lu's 100,000 army in Xicheng County, killed 20,000, captured 50,000, and captured countless people!"
The messenger ran unhindered, carrying the red order flag all the way into the city, shouting hoarsely and loudly along the way.
This sentence instantly ignited the entire Shangyong City.
The merchants and travelers in the city almost rushed to tell each other, and the people were also mixed, but the soldiers were elated.
Whether it is a newly recruited sergeant or the only few surrendered soldiers, this is all high-spirited.
No matter which prince they had served before, but at this moment, they were all soldiers under Uncle Liu's account. Uncle Liu Huang defeated Zhang Lu, and his momentum will inevitably rise, and these low-level soldiers will follow Uncle Liu Huang, naturally and honorably.
"My lord wins!"
"Uncle Liu Huang wins!"
In Shangyong City, at this moment, many people rushed to tell each other and share this joy.
Mi Fang was on the gate tower of the West Gate, and when he saw the messenger of the red banner, he felt something. When she heard the news of the victory from the messenger's mouth, the joy in Mi Fang's heart was irrepressible.
"Herald, tonight's curfew has been postponed for an hour!"
Looking at the direction of Xicheng County, Mi Fang loudly issued a military order to delay the curfew.
As a newly occupied city, the gates of Shangyong City will be closed before sunset, and then there will be a curfew.
The so-called curfew means that after the city gates are closed, no one is allowed to move around the city freely.
After nightfall, once someone is found scurrying in the streets, the military marquis patrolling the city can arrest them on the spot, and the light ones will be put in prison and dealt with the next day; If there is resistance, the patrol marquis has the right to kill him on the spot.
Therefore, whether it is a business traveler in the city or a common people, even if they want some entertainment activities after nightfall, the business travelers can only stay in the wine shops, and the people can only stay at home, and they dare not go out easily.
But now, the curfew has been postponed for an hour, and everyone wants to have fun, so time is finally free.
"Order, feast for the whole army, except for the night patrol and the soldiers on duty, each person can drink a corner!"
Another military order, from Mi Fang finally jumped out.
……
In other words, Uncle Liu Huang and Zhang Lu fought in Xicheng County, and the most frightened one was Mi Fang.
This battle is related to whether Uncle Liu Huang can gain a foothold in Hanzhong, and it is also related to the rise and fall of their Mi family.
It must be known that their Mi family is betting on Uncle Liu Huang with the strength of the whole family, if Uncle Liu still behaves like he did in Xuzhou, although their Mi family will not be destroyed, but it is certain that it will hurt the muscles and bones.
Fortunately, now that the news of the big victory has finally come, Mi Fang is already qualified to imagine the future.
defeated the counterattack of Zhang Lu's 100,000 army, and captured more than 50,000 people, and killed 20,000 in battle. In this way, Uncle Liu Huang can not only gain a foothold in the eastern part of Hanzhong, but also enter the hinterland of Hanzhong in one fell swoop.
Once Uncle Liu Huang seized the entire territory of Hanzhong, he could become one of the few princes in the world in one fell swoop.
When the time comes, I can't say that Uncle Liu Huang will still have a chance to be the king.
Although there is the restriction of the "White Horse Alliance", no one in the world dares to take the lead in claiming the king, but at that time, for the princes with different surnames, Uncle Liu was the clan relatives confirmed by today's son, and the princes of the Liu family called the king, which does not seem to be in the case of the restrictions of the "White Horse Alliance".
If Uncle Liu can be called the king, their Mi family will be the authentic royal relatives.
Thinking about the glory of the relatives of the two Han dynasties, Mi Fang couldn't help but be excited in her heart.
Of course, it is not enough to reign in a county.
However, it depends on which county.
There is a Han generation, and there are two super luxurious counties in the world, one of which is Nanyang County, and the other is Hanzhong County.
Nanyang County is located in the throat of the important place, the geographical location is very special, after the two Han Dynasty Dynasty Emperor of Heaven enthroned, this has formed the pattern of Nanyang County has 36 counties today.
Hanzhong County, on the other hand, originally had only ten counties.
Later, after Liu Yan became the ruler of Yizhou, he expanded the pattern of Hanzhong County to Zhang Lu's mother Aiwu and Wuxia, and allocated the eleven counties of Guanghan County, as well as the three cities of the Guanghan vassal state, plus part of Ba County, to Hanzhong County.
Therefore, today's Hanzhong County actually has 30 county seats.
This is the most fundamental reason why Zhang Luneng used the power of a county to shake Liu Zhang's entire Yizhou.
Therefore, whether it is to occupy Nanyang County or Hanzhong County, it is the capital for the rise of the princes all the way.
Of course, Nanyang County is the place of the four wars, and it has always been a place where soldiers must fight.
In contrast, Hanzhong County can farm and develop behind closed doors. Four hundred years ago, didn't Gaozu Liu Bang just sit in Hanzhong, planted fields for a few years, and accumulated mountains of money and grain, so that he had the capital to go out of the customs and compete with Xiang Yu for the world?
Of course, Mi Fang can only keep these thoughts in her heart.
