The intelligence officers in the city immediately spread the word that Zhenrong had fled, and the soldiers and civilians were even more panicked, and many well-meaning people also agreed with this statement. x

Gong Cao was pushed to the city wall, he is now the highest official in the city, and he is a local, with a certain prestige, everyone is looking at him eagerly, hoping that he can come up with a reasonable idea to save the people from the war and avoid the war in Guangling City.

Gong Cao did not dare to make a rash decision, otherwise against the wishes of these officers and soldiers, he would be divided by these people on the city wall, so he said calmly: "Everyone, the rumors in the city are true, the Taishou, Duwei, Juncheng, Zhubo and other personnel have all disappeared, and someone found that they had left Guangling City last night and had left Xuzhou by boat. ”

The families of the officers were all in Guangling City, and they did not want Guangling City to suffer from the flames of war, and they were also outcasts, and could not afford to be charged with rebellion, so they unanimously agreed that Gong Cao would take the decision; Since yesterday, Gong Cao has been distributing food and other materials to all the officers and soldiers and the people, and everyone respects him very much.

Gong Cao couldn't refuse, so he said: "Everyone, at this moment, it is the captain who arrives first, and then the Taishou will arrive; Our Guangling City lacks cavalry, and just a few thousand cavalry outside the city can make the officers and soldiers in Guangling City dare not break through, let alone guard the soldiers and horses under their jurisdiction; In addition, our families are all in the city, even if we break through, where can we go? And the Taishou is the Taishou appointed by Lord Assassin, and we cannot be charged with rebellion; Therefore, the meaning of the next is to open the city gate and welcome the new Taishou. ”

"Yes, we must not be accused of rebellion, or we will have no place to stand."

"Yes, we have been abandoned, and we should be afraid of the new Taishou who is rightly in the name of the new Taishou?"

"We are all locals, and the new Taishou will definitely not embarrass us."

"Be quiet, we will follow the decision of Gong Cao."

.........

Everyone kept talking, and finally agreed to obey the decision of Gong Cao, open the city gate to welcome the new Taishou, and Gong Cao was responsible for going out of the city to contact, and must ensure the safety of the officers and soldiers and the people in the city.

Gong Cao sat in a basket and was released out of the city with a rope.

When he ran to Sun Ping, he bowed deeply and said, "Gong Cao is engaged in Dai Fang to meet Du Wei!" ”

Sun Ping was overjoyed, immediately dismounted, helped Gong Cao to engage, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Dai Zhi doesn't need to be nervous, get up and talk!" ”

"Captain Xie!"

Sun Ping asked directly: "Dai Zhen, what decision did the city make?" ”

Gong Cao engaged Dai Fang stared at Sun Ping and said: "The original Taishou, Juncheng, Zhu Bo and others have all fled, and everyone in the city has discussed and decided to open the door to welcome the new Taishou, but everyone is not at ease, I hope that the captain can give them a promise, must ensure the safety of the officers and soldiers and the people in the city, if the captain agrees, then immediately open the door to greet him, and never dare to make trouble without incident." ”

"Hahaha, Dai is worried too much, the rebel is the former Taishou Zhenrong, what does it have to do with you, the officers and soldiers in the city and the people? Everyone is still the people of Xuzhou, how can it harm everyone, Bendu Wei can promise that he will never investigate the past things, as long as he can abide by the law in the future, the new Taishou will never harm anyone in the city, otherwise, Tao Thorn History will not allow it, please rest assured. ”

With Sun Ping's promise, and seeing the disciplined cavalry troops, Dai Zhi was completely relieved, and saluted Sun Ping: "Thank you, Lieutenant, Fang will let people open the door to greet him." ”

"Okay, Dai is wise, and he will stay in his position for the time being to help stabilize the situation in the city!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The next thing went smoothly, and Dai Fang ordered someone to open the door and welcome the cavalry into the city.

Sun Ping stayed in the Taishou Mansion, and then successively issued orders, all the officers and soldiers temporarily returned to the barracks to wait, and the cavalry took over the defense of the four gates of Guangling City, took over the Taishou Mansion, took over the county government, prison, warehouse and other places, and waited for the arrival of the Taishou.

Subsequently, a team of cavalry was sent to take over the port and docks south of the city, and all the supplies were seized.

In the afternoon, the cavalry commander who took over the prison came to report that there were more than 30 people in the prison from the patriarchs and descendants of several major families in Guangling County, and that all their family's belongings had been taken away by the prisoners, and that the tortured ones were no longer in shape, and asked for instructions on how to deal with them.

Sun Ping thought about it for a while, and felt that without these big households, it would be easier to control Guangling County, so he ordered: "Drown them all in the toilet, and put all the blame on Zhenrong, since Zhenrong has fled, let him carry this black cauldron!" ”

"Captain, this is not good, if the news leaks, we will meet with strong resistance!"

Sun Ping said with a smile: "Hahaha, don't worry, all the officers who knew about it before will be secretly executed, just as if they have rebelled and fled with the former Taishou, as long as we don't, no one will be able to know." ”

"Yes, Captain!"

From time to time, cavalry patrolled the streets to prevent people from doing evil and taking the opportunity to cause chaos; Except for the former officers and soldiers who were not allowed to leave the camp, the rest of the city remained the same, and the lives and operations of ordinary people and merchants were not adversely affected in any way.

Two days later, Taishou Li Zhen and his military advisor Lu Su arrived at Guangling City and officially took over Guangling County.

In order to stabilize the local situation, Gong Cao was appointed as Gong Cao, re-pacifying the family of the head of the family who was drowned in a urine bucket and the descendants of the family, and making statistical records of the rebels, all the finances they left behind were confiscated, and all their families were imprisoned, and they would become official slaves thereafter; Dirong's rebellion has become an established fact, and through Dai Fang's mouth, he drowned many heroic crimes, making Dirong a heinous murderer recognized by Xuzhou people.

Li Zhen was the Taishou, Lu Su was the county commander and concurrently served as the military advisor, and Sun Ping was the captain.

Sun Ping's first task was to reorganize the existing 30,000 officers and soldiers in Guangling County, first to select cavalry, and then to select infantry, and the selection criteria were the same as those in Qingzhou, Jizhou and other places, and they enjoyed the same treatment.

The officers and men were greatly excited, and as long as they could be selected for the cavalry, their salaries would be greatly improved, which was tantamount to a good thing falling from the sky.

What made them even happier was that the officers below the cavalry commander and the infantry rank below the rank of marquis were all obtained through challenges, so that all the officers and soldiers saw the opportunity to rise.

What puzzles them is that the selection criteria are too strict, and a third of the soldiers will be eliminated.

Taishou Li Zhen was busy sending the post inspector to inspect the counties, stabilize the whole county, and report the rebellion of Zhenrong to Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian and the chariot general Gao Shun respectively; At the same time, all counties are required to actively appease the people and do a good job in farming.

According to the time provided by the Governor of the Navy, the shipyard craftsmen and sailors dispatched by the Governor of the Navy arrived one after another; If you want to gain a foothold in Guangling County, which is covered with a dense water network, you must have a navy that can fight well; Fortunately, the port and wharf have a certain scale before, and they only need to be expanded and improved; And the site was selected to build a shipyard and recruit craftsmen.

Lu Su also absorbed the lessons of Zhenrong's rebellion, and they didn't know that they had rebelled; Guangling County is surrounded by enemies on several sides, and if the intelligence department is smooth, it will be very dangerous; So he formed a scout team to conduct secret training, and after the training was complete, he would send them to various parts of Jiangdong and the territory of Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian and others to closely monitor the situation on all sides.

The Mi family was busy transporting grain, armor, war horses and other materials to Guangling City, and doing a good job in logistics support.

The joint efforts of everyone have enabled them to gain a foothold in Guangling County, and the lack of a big family in Guangling County is also one of the key factors.
