Wang Zhe, the county commander of Pinggu, can finally sleep with peace of mind.
Since Zhang Ju's rebellion two years ago, colluding with Wuhuan to occupy many Yuyang prefectures and counties, and poisoning countless people, Wang Zhe resolutely refused to obey Zhang Ju's surrender, led the county lieutenant to integrate hundreds of remnants, and recruited thousands of young and strong people in the county to resist the city and defend it.
Fortunately, Wuhuan was brutal, Zhang Ju was greedy, and the people saw that even if they surrendered, they would definitely not be able to save their lives, and it was the Wuhuan people who had no experience in attacking the city, and Zhang Jujun was unwilling to fight to the death, so they were united in defending the lonely city desperately, becoming a nail stuck between Yuyang and Luxian.
After more than a year and nearly two years of fighting, it was finally hoped that the state pastor would send troops to Yuyang, so the rebels outside the city withdrew, and Pinggu was peaceful. Wang Ze can sleep well with peace of mind.
I just stripped off and lay down here, but a subordinate reported that it was the commander Liu Bei who sent an official document asking him to take his subordinates to the army to obey orders, and Wang Ze was not happy at that time.
You Liu Bei is just a captain, why did you give me orders in such an arrogant tone? I'm also a dignified civil official anyway, so why do I listen to you call and drink? So, he replied directly: "Pinggu has just been pacified, the people's homes need to be resettled and rebuilt, and the soldiers who have fought for a long time must also rest, and we have no troops to send now." β
Liu Bei's envoy had just been dispatched, but another subordinate hurriedly came in to report, saying that there was a large army outside the city and asked to enter the city.
Wang Ze was stunned at the time, thinking that Liu Bei came directly to the door, so he asked the subordinates of the informant, what banner was the team coming?
This subordinate immediately replied, the pioneer flag that opened the road was written with the word Pan, while the commander Shuai Qi was written with the word Lu.
At that time, Wang Zhe suddenly realized that this was Lu Peng, the captain of Youzhou.
Although he and Lu Peng have not met directly, they do know Lu Peng's actions very well, and it is absolutely appropriate to evaluate them with a smart future. Moreover, his men are strong and strong, and they report to the above that he has a large army of 5,000, but in fact, Wang Zhe, who is a neighbor, knows that not far from him, he has a savage valley, where many horses are hidden, and from this point of view, this person is not small.
But fortunately, this person is different from others and loves the people very much, which is very much in line with Wang Zhe's taste. I think that when his Pinggu County was poisoned by foreign races, a large number of people entered the Savage Valley and got the protection of Lu Peng, and now before he rushed to his county seat, he must have obtained a warrant from the state pastor to meet Liu Bei in Yuyang.
While putting on his clothes, Wang Zhe secretly thought, you Lu Peng came just in time, I am already too peaceful here, and I just want you to get back my population and let those people return to their homes.
Dressed neatly, he hurried out of the city to greet Lu Peng.
Lu Peng is full of respect for Wang Zhe in his heart, and from his nearly two years of struggle, he can be regarded as a small national hero, as long as he is a national hero, Lu Peng admires it from the bottom of his heart. But sigh and sigh, this Pinggu must be taken down by himself, if Wang Zhe can cooperate with himself, it means that the two sides cooperate happily, if Wang Zhe does not cooperate with him, it can only make him sick against his conscience.
When I was waiting outside the city, I saw the gate of Pinggu County opened, and a group of ragged and tattered swords and guns, but a group of high-spirited villagers rushed out of the city gate, lined up on both sides, followed by a literati with a sword at his waist, and strode out.
When Lu Peng saw it, he concluded that this was the national hero Wang Zhe, so he jumped off the war horse and walked a few steps forward to salute. This made Wang Zhe very surprised, although he is a civil official, but now it is a troubled time, and it is the boss who holds military power, especially this Lu Peng, who is now a captain in Youzhou, with a food of 2,000 stones, and he is just a county order, and the food is only eight hundred, which is a difference of more than ten levels.
Wang Zhe hurriedly knelt down and returned the salute to Lu Peng, Lu Peng pulled it up with one hand, and held Wang Zhe's hand tightly with both hands: "Lord Wang is a lonely city, resisting foreign invasion and slaughter, he is really a national hero, the kid admires from the heart, how dare he accept such a big gift from the adult?" β
Hearing Lu Peng comment on himself like this, Wang Zhe's eyes couldn't help but be hot, and being recognized was indeed a very touching thing.
The two of them were in front of the city gate cave, humble, and then Lu Peng introduced the generals around him to Wang Zhe.
Everyone saluted each other again, and then entered the county seat together.
After more than a year of hard fighting, the county seat has long been dilapidated, the streets of the city are full of refugees, and the villagers patrolling the streets are also ragged and have vegetables, but this cannot hide their spirit of killing the enemy for the country, which makes Lu Peng even more emotional.
So he stood on the long street and said to Tian Feng beside him: "When will the materials for our war arrive?" β
Tian Feng said: "General Manager Wu Tao has raised enough food and grass equipment, and he will be able to enter the city in no more than half a day after following our army." β
Because Pinggu was seriously poisoned by foreign races, the wilderness was no longer inhabited, and the big families also fled to him or died in the war, so Lu Peng's method of buying grain and grass along the way could not be implemented here for the time being, so Wu Tao organized a caravan in Lu County to buy grain and grass from Lu County and transport it.
After receiving Tian Feng's answer, Lu Peng said to Tian Feng on the street: "The soldiers and civilians of Pinggu are our heroes who fight hard for the country, sir, do you think we should reward them?" β
This sentence is deeply meaningful, Lu Peng is ready to take out a batch of money and grain to reward these brave people of Pinggu Township who are fighting for the country, but in his own name, not the name of Youzhou, this is to buy people's hearts, as long as the people get their own money and food relief, their hearts will definitely be towards themselves, and things will be easy to do in the future.
Of course, Tian Feng understood this truth, so he said generously: "Our Lu family army has this ability and this responsibility, so we will obey the orders of the adults." Then he turned his head to look at Wang Zhe: "May I ask my lord, how many people are there in Pinggu?" And how many more township warrior soldiers? β
An outsider asked the local parents and officials about the situation of the local population and soldiers, in fact, this is already a kind of trespassing, but Wang Zhe has already heard that Lu Peng is going to distribute money and food to his subordinates, of course, he can't ask for it, and he is full of joy, so he immediately reported back: "Now there are 7,000 people in this county, and 5,000 townspeople." β
Hearing this number, Lu Peng couldn't help but sigh, this is the cruelty of war to the people, a county with a population of tens of thousands, the number of people and soldiers is almost equal, it can be seen that the people are killed and wounded, and the battle in Pinggu is tragic.
Tian Feng nodded, calculated carefully with his hands in his sleeves, and then said to Lu Peng and Wang Zhe: "We can give each of these villagers a grain first, and at the same time give another 1,000 money." β
Wang Zhe was shocked, he was surprised not by Lu Peng's generous move, but by Lu Peng's financial resources! With such abundant assistance from Lu Peng, the poor people were considered to be alive, so Wang Zhe knelt down on the street again sincerely, and Lu Peng wanted to pull him up, Wang Zhe said with tears in his eyes: "This worship, I am kneeling for the people and villagers who survived in Pinggu, general, please accept it with peace of mind!" β
Xiang Yong, who was watching the excitement around the left, heard the news, and immediately thundered with joy, spreading this huge good news to all around! So countless refugees and people knelt on the ground and shouted: "General Lu and the Marquis of Wandai." β
In this cheer, Lu Peng opened the first step he occupied, Pinggu.
