Shangyong City was broken, the Xinye Army was greatly encouraged, everyone was overjoyed, the good news came, Liu Yong was overjoyed, and ordered Zhou Cang to lead the men and horses to temporarily garrison and wait for orders, Guan Yu escorted Zhang Yun and Han Song back to Xiangyang to resume their lives!

ordered Lu Meng to immediately rush to Shangyong to assist Zhou Cang, and it happened that Wuling sent a person named Xiu Ze. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Yong but remembered that there was some reputation in history, after Zhuge Liang's investigation, he was still a virtuous man with an inconspicuous reputation, and he had a strategy, Liu Yong immediately sent him to Shangyong to join the army, and Xiu Ze also happily went.

He also ordered Meng Gongwei to serve as the Taishou.

The capture of Shangyong City also allowed Liu Yong's territory to expand again, leaving only Jiangbei Nanxiang and other places in Cao Cao's hands and a few counties south of the Han River that have not yet been taken. These counties saw that Liu Biao was defeated in successive battles, and Liu Yong had no offensive for the time being, so he directly withdrew the flag and changed the banner, and sat up as the emperor himself, disrespecting anyone's orders.

Liu Yong didn't care either, a few small mountain towns, one drum can be played, there is nothing to be afraid of.

At the same time, Lu Meng, Xiu Ze, and Meng Gongwei also took office when Shangyong took office, so that Shangyong quickly stabilized.

In the past, when he was under Liu Biao, the territory was slowly annexed by Liu Yong, Zhang Yun was squeezed out by Cai Mao and had no place in Xiangyang, and Nanjun was in the hands of the Kuai family, so Liu Biao had to appoint his nephew Zhang Yun to sit in charge, but Zhang Yun was a general suitable for the navy, and he was a little powerless in Shangyong, which made Shangyong slowly chaotic.

The mediocre soldiers originally had many things to do with thieves and bandits, and they did not obey discipline, and they constantly caused trouble on weekdays, so that there were many contradictions in the army and there were many factions. In addition, Zhang Yun is a layman and is not good at governance, which leads to the big clans secretly cultivating strength, fighting openly and secretly, and fighting each other, which makes the entire Shangyong chickens and dogs unpeaceful, and the people have fled a lot, and the population has dropped by two percent.

Now that it has been captured by Guan Yu, the people see that the officers and soldiers do not disturb the people, but only punish the traitors who violate the law and discipline and act as traitors, they all slowly fall down, and slowly recognize the new ruler, and the people who have fled have slowly returned, and the mediocrity has begun to slowly recover.

Guan Yu returned to Xiangyang, Liu Yong greeted him personally, gave Guan Yu enough face, and Guan Yu was deeply moved, although Liu Yong was not Liu Bei, but Guan Yu had to admit that Liu Yong was a good lord, and he was no worse than Liu Bei to win people's hearts.

Seeing Liu Yong coming in person, Guan Yu immediately dismounted and hung up his sword ten zhang away, bowing down to worship!

"Unexpectedly, let the lord personally greet him, how could Yu He De get this honor, it really made Guan panic!"

Liu Yong stepped forward to help Guan Yu up: "Yun Chang doesn't have to be like this, you are a general, you are a general, you are bleeding and sweating outside to kill the enemy, beheading the enemy generals, seizing the city and plundering the land in a battle, pacifying the mediocrity, and rescuing the people from fire and water. ”

Guan Yu didn't even dare to say it, Liu Yong didn't care about this kind of official talk, he could see that Guan Yu enjoyed this kind of scenery surrounded by everyone, so he took Guan Yu's hand further, and walked in front, and the others followed behind, all the way to the state pastor's mansion.

Although Liu Yong doesn't like this feeling of holding a man's hand, Liu Da'er likes it the most, and the effect is not bad, it can win people's hearts, for Guan Yu, who is most familiar with Liu Bei, Liu Yong also put down other ideas, and did it first, anyway, find a way to tie Guan Yu firmly to his side, for such a general, so not an exaggeration.

Liu Bei did it, Cao Cao did it, why can't he do it, he has to be this general, such as an army of 100,000!

Liu Yong thought a little evilly, if he changed to Cao Cao, as long as Guan Yu was willing to serve, even if he slept with him or did something further, he would agree, right?

After everyone did it, Liu Yong immediately set up a celebration banquet.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Yong asked Guan Yu: "Now that there are Xinye and Shangyong, where does Yun Chang intend to guard next?" ”

"Shinno!" was crisp and neat, Liu Yong did not hesitate at all.

"That's good, Yun Chang will guard Xinye in the future, I will send Zilong to sit in Shangyong, you are also familiar with each other, and you can support each other in all matters. After that, I will send one of the soldiers to Xinye to help Yunchang.

This time, Yun Chang has made great contributions, and the merits have been established, and he will not be canonized for the time being, and he will be rewarded with 100 acres of fertile land, 500 silk and satin, and 10 maidservants! ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Guan Yu immediately thanked him.

After arranging Guan Yu, Liu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Guan Yu was at ease, Xinye would be worry-free.

Breaking through Shangyong is a load-bearing blow to Liu Biao, Fan Cheng sighed, and everyone was sad.

But it is indeed a huge encouragement to Liu Yong everywhere. Wu Ju, the general of Nanxiang, also returned to Nanxiang immediately after fleeing to Fancheng with Liu Biao.

Wu Ju was originally stationed in Shunyang County, Zang Ba three generals marched into Champion County, Zang Ba took the lead, braved the rain of arrows and was the first to climb to the top of the city, locking the victory results.

Wu Ju didn't plan to rely on Champion County to stop Zang Ba's footsteps, but he could block it for at least three days. To his surprise, the championship was lost in just one fight.

Zang Ba did not stay, and directly attacked Shunyang, Wu Ju was worried that Shunyang County was not as strong as Nanxiang to lead all the troops and grain and grass in Shunyang to withdraw to Nanxiang, and directly sent Shunyang to Zang Ba, and the three people who arrived with the troops were stunned for a long time.

Zang Ba thought for a moment, and said: "It seems that Wu Ju wants to concentrate his forces to defend Nanxiang, in this case, Danshui should not have many troops, Wu Dun, I will give you 3,000 men and horses to attack Danshui, are you willing?" ”

"Yes, General Zang, don't worry, I will bring troops to help you as soon as I capture Danshui." Wu Dun immediately surrendered his order.

Zang Ba refused: "No, Danshui is very important, it must not be lost, in order to prevent Cao Jun Huang Que from behind, after the capture, you will temporarily garrison it." Remember, after the city is broken, you must not plunder the army, and you must not disturb the people, otherwise the military law will deal with it! ”

"No!" Wu Dun knew Liu Yong's military regulations, and Zang Ba reminded them that it was also because they had occupied the mountain as the king before, and they were worried that they would not be able to retract it, so they didn't mind, so they gave up their orders and left.

Since he picked up Shunyang in vain, Zang Ba was naturally happy, and while entering the city to settle the people, he recruited soldiers. The people of Shunyang have long envied the people of Xinye, and now they know that it is the arrival of the Xinye Army, and they are very happy, and many people come to sacrifice the army with little food. But they were rejected by Zang Ba one by one, after all, these people were not richer than Xinye and Xiangyang, and they were already miserable, and Zang Ba naturally couldn't bear to make it more difficult for them.

But for the young people who believed in recruitment, they all happily accepted it, and Shunyang alone actually recruited seven or eight hundred people.

Leaving the new soldiers and 300 new field troops to garrison, Zang Ba sent military information to Xiangyang and led his troops to kill Nanxiang, preparing to take down this last difficult bone and pacify the north of Hanshui in one fell swoop.

There are few wars in Nanxiang, the city is built according to the mountain, it is strong and abnormal, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is attacked, it will inevitably make many warriors die under the city.
