At this time, there was a celebratory atmosphere in Nanzheng City, and the people in the city spontaneously came to the streets and alleys of the city to celebrate Renjun Liu Bei's entry into Nanzheng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The people are not very demanding, it is enough to have a safe and stable place, to have enough to eat, and not to leave their relatives in their hometown. After Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong, in order to enrich Guanzhong, Luoyang and other places, a large number of people in Hanzhong City were moved to these places, which naturally caused the continuous resistance of the local people in Hanzhong, and no one wanted to leave their hometown to go to a strange place.
Later, although Shiyuan sent General Ma Chao to constantly harass Cao's army to escort the people of Hanzhong, it only played a role, and there were still many people in Hanzhong who were relocated to those places. Moreover, during the period when the Cao army occupied Hanzhong, the move of the people did not stop under Cao Cao's strict orders, which made the people of Hanzhong live a life of fear during this period of time, as long as the Cao army still occupied Hanzhong, then they may be moved to other places.
Therefore, after Liu Bei led the army into Nanzheng, the people of Hanzhong came out of their homes and continued to celebrate in the city. After Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, a series of policies to benefit the people promulgated by him naturally spread to Hanzhong here, and the people of Hanzhong naturally praised these policies after knowing it, so that many people in Hanzhong were ready to go to Yizhou, but only later because Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong, these people were forced to dismiss the idea of going to Yizhou. After Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao and occupied Hanzhong, the fearful life of the people of Hanzhong finally came to an end, and the people no longer had to worry about being moved elsewhere and leaving their hometown.
Liu Bei, Pang Tong, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other Shuzhong generals walked on the streets of Nanzheng, looking at the people celebrating around them, their faces were also full of happy smiles. The people are like water, the king is like a boat, the water can carry the boat, or it can overturn the boat, Liu Bei and others must not know this sentence, but the truth represented by this sentence Liu Bei and others are very clear in their hearts. Why fight for the world, the people also. This is also the reason why when Liu Bei was defeated and retreated from Xinye, he would rather die than abandon the people. abandoned the people, although Liu Bei was able to reach Jiangxia safely, he was just a bare-bones commander. Although he was later caught up by Cao Cao's pursuers and did not protect the people, this move made Liu Bei's name known to the world.
"Shiyuan, you see how happy the people are!" Liu Bei turned his head and said to Shi Yuan next to him.
"Yes, my lord! The people of Hanzhong are looking forward to the lord. ”
Liu Bei rode on the Lu horse, and slowly walked along the gravel road in the city towards the main hall in the center of the city. Walking to a crossroads, looking at the people celebrating around him, Liu Bei could no longer control the excitement in his heart, jumped down from Lu Ma with his legs raised, took a few big steps, walked to the center of the crowd, and jumped up with the people in the city.
"General Zhao, quickly, protect the lord." After Shi Yuan saw Liu Bei's actions, he hurriedly said to Zhao Yun on the side.
After Zhao Yun heard Shi Yuan's words, he hurriedly jumped off his horse, ran into the crowd, and followed Liu Bei.
An hour later, Liu Bei, Shiyuan and others came to the palace in the city, and after everyone sat down in turn, they only heard Liu Bei speak:
"Now that Cao's army has been defeated and fled to Guanzhong, the land of Hanzhong is also waiting to be prospered after this period of war, and the policy I want to implement in Yizhou will also be used in the land of Hanzhong, I don't know what you think about this?"
In fact, after Xiahou Yuan learned that Hanzhong City and Nanzheng were occupied by the Shu army, he hurriedly ordered the whole army to prepare equipment and force the Han River. Every move of the Wei army was under the surveillance of the Shu army scouts at this time, and when the Cao army crossed the Han River, Liu Bei led less than 10,000 Shu troops on the main peak of Dingjun Mountain to launch a fierce attack on the Cao army crossing the Han River.
Under the order of Xiahou Yuan, Cao Jun personally led thousands of soldiers to resist Liu Bei's army, and the large army was crossing the Han River as soon as possible, preparing to take Hanzhong again while the Shu army had not yet gained a firm foothold in Hanzhong.
Just when a small part of Cao's army crossed the Han River, the Shu army led by Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others also launched an attack on Cao's army from the north bank of the Han River. After the toss of the transitional Han Shui, the soldiers of the Cao army were very tired one by one, and they couldn't wait to lie on the ground to rest immediately, but the Shu army led by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun had been resting for a long time, and the soldiers were full of energy one by one, so under the battle between the two armies, the Cao army could be said to be about to collapse.
After a period of fighting, most of the Cao troops who crossed the Han River and arrived on the north bank were annihilated, and most of the Cao troops who were crossing the Han River were also shot by the bows and arrows of the Shu army, and the corpses of the Cao army were almost blocked by the Han River.
In the end, there were less than 10,000 Cao troops left to escape from the two sides of the Shu army, and the generals of the Cao army, such as Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, Zhang He and others, also fled under the desperate protection of the soldiers. However, Xiahou Yuan, who personally led his troops to resist Liu Bei, fought alone, and finally fought to exhaustion, and was shot into a hedgehog by the crossbow of the Shu army.
After learning that Xiahou Yuan was defeated and killed, the more than 20,000 Cao troops in Yangping Pass also gave up resistance and finally surrendered to the Shu army. However, Cao Xiu, Guo Huai and others successfully broke through and fled under the desperate protection of their own soldiers.
"My lord has a wonderful intention. The policies promulgated by the lord in Yizhou, the people of Hanzhong praised the policy after knowing it, and now these policies are moved into Hanzhong, thinking that the people of Hanzhong will be very happy, so it is very beneficial for the lord to rule Hanzhong. Fa Zheng said.
"My lord, it would be better if there was one more?" Shi Yuan gestured to the lord at this time.
"Oh, what is the best plan for the military advisor, tell me quickly."
"My lord, during the period of occupation of Hanzhong, the Cao army moved a total of 50,000 or 60,000 people out of Hanzhong, which made many places in Hanzhong now desolate. Now that we have occupied the city of Hanzhong, we can tell the people of Hanzhong, let the people advise those who have been relocated to return to Hanzhong, and we will reward these people in a certain way, and it will not be long before the population of Hanzhong will increase again. ”
"Okay, just do it according to the will of the military advisor." Liu Bei clapped his hands and said happily.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and in this month, Hanzhong showed a prosperous scene under Liu Bei's governance. Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong when just after the autumn planting, and later in Liu Bei's promulgation of the policy of benefiting the people under the drive of the people of Hanzhong also completed the autumn planting in time, although it is late, it may have an impact on next year's harvest, but it is better than nothing!
Half a month ago, Shi Yuan received news from Guanzhong that Cao Cao had returned to Luoyang with his troops from Guanzhong. Shi Yuan thought about it and understood, presumably Cao Cao, after learning the news of the defeat of Hanzhong, knew that it would be impossible to take Hanzhong in a short time, so he led his troops back.
Now it is 216 A.D., and it is about to enter 217 A.D., and Liu Bei got Hanzhong nearly two years earlier than in history, all because Guangda traveled to Shi Yuan's body, so that Shi Yuan, a genius, did not die young, and was able to continue to help Liu Bei. Shi Yuan tightened his clothes, since the trajectory of history has changed, let him become more thorough! Then let yourself leave a deep imprint on yourself in this era of heroes!
Half a month later, Mr. Kong Ming sent a letter from Chengdu, in which he said that this year's Yizhou harvest was a bumper harvest, and the military rations were enough in a short period of time. At the same time, the letter also said that during this period of time, Kong Ming recruited 50,000 new soldiers in Yizhou, and now these soldiers are also qualified to go to the battlefield after about half a year of training. Now Liu Bei's account can really be described as a large number of soldiers! Now the total number of soldiers under Liu Bei's account is nearly 200,000, and most of the soldiers are veterans who have been on the battlefield many times, which is a huge wealth! There are now no less than 100 generals who can command the army, and there are also many strategists, the most famous of which is Wolong and Phoenix.
Two months after the occupation of Hanzhong, Liu Bei issued an order appointing Wei Yan as the Taishou of Hanzhong to defend Hanzhong. When this order was issued, there was an uproar. Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei issued another order to return to Chengdu. Today's Hanzhong is very peaceful, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, with a thriving atmosphere, Liu Bei is naturally no problem returning to Chengdu at this time, and Liu Bei has left Chengdu for a long time, and Liu Bei has just occupied Yizhou not long after all, Yizhou's local Haoqiang is still not completely attached, after the last suppression, although it is better, but if Liu Bei is no longer in Chengdu for a long time, maybe there will be some chaos.
As for why Wei Yan was appointed as the Taishou of Hanzhong, it makes sense to think about it carefully. Zhao Yun, as Liu Bei's bodyguard, naturally had to follow Liu Bei's side at any time; After all, Ma Chao was the lord of Xiliang, and if Ma Chao was allowed to govern a place alone, Liu Bei was not very relieved in his heart; Zhang Ren had just surrendered, and although he had made a lot of contributions in the battle of Hanzhong this time, after all, the time to follow Liu Bei was still a little short; As for General Zhang Fei, it is said that many people in Hanzhong think that it will be Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei also thinks so, but if Zhang Fei is appointed as the Taishou of Hanzhong, then Liu Bei's two brothers will not be by his side, so that there will be no one around him who can dig out his heart, and all Liu Bei is still willing to let Zhang Fei get closer to him. As for Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and others, they are either too old, or too young and have no qualifications, and after thinking about it, only Wei Yan is the most suitable.
