Sensing Huang Zhong's rage, Jiang Yan's face couldn't help but change, and he couldn't help but weaken a little in momentum when he originally felt that he had a dignified reason, and said with a smile: "General, please calm your anger, the last general has no such intention, but since the last general promised to stop your army here for half an hour, he can't break his word, so although the last general promised to surrender to the general, it will only be carried out after half an hour." People don't know what to do without faith, and I hope the general can understand. ”

"I see." Huang Zhong's anger suddenly dissipated, and he said with a smile: "Why didn't Jiang Gongcao say it earlier? Since Jiang Gongcao kept his promise, Ben Jiang naturally would not fail to fulfill it, even so, Ben Jiang would wait for half an hour, and after half an hour, Jiang Gongcao would not shirk it again, right? ”

"How dare you?" Jiang Jian couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and said with palpitations.

In fact, Huang Zhong's anger just now caused him a lot of pressure, making him even feel that he was facing the same as the legendary god of death, the other party was just a general, and he was so powerful in a fit of anger, if Chu Gong was angry, wouldn't he be able to ambush millions of corpses and bleed thousands of miles in the blink of an eye?

Huang Zhong didn't get angry anymore, but waited quietly, in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, and before he could speak, he saw Jiang Jian take the initiative to say: "Half an hour has passed, the general is really a believer, and the last general is willing to fulfill his promise, lead the people to surrender, and help the general pacify the people and consolidate Hanyang." ”

After that, Jiang Jian ordered the soldiers to lay down their weapons and surrender to Huang Zhong, and as previously said, after returning to Ji County with Huang Zhong, he pacified the people. so that the hearts of the people will be attached.

At this time, Huang Zhong also ordered to recruit the people, promulgated the policy of lightly repaying the people and resting with the people, and ordered the opening of Yuliang Guanze for the people to mine, and recruited merchants to do business. Only a small amount of tax is collected, and the purpose is to revitalize the economy, although it has only been a short period of half a month. The whole city was unexpectedly rejuvenated, and many people went from passive attachment to genuine support.

Jiang Yin, who saw this scene, was naturally relieved. He didn't expect that a military general like Huang Zhong, who was only accustomed to holding swords and guns, would have such the ability to govern the country, and would restore the dying Jixian County to life in just half a month.

In fact, Jiang Jian didn't know that Huang Zhong's set of measures would be done almost every time the Chu army captured a city, so even a martial artist like Huang Zhong could be very familiar with this beginning, but even if he knew, he could only admire Chu Gong's political philosophy even more.

At this time, Jiang Kai, the captain of Jiang Yin's personal army, stepped forward and said, "General." It's been half a month since you surrendered, but Madame and Gongzi are still in Hao Zhao's hands, could it be that he broke his promise and deliberately detained Madame and Gongzi as hostages? ”

Jiang Jian shook his head and said slowly: "General Hao is a believer, although I and him are our own masters now, I guess he will never break his word, you and I just need to wait for a few days, presumably they will definitely be released." ”

I have to say that Jiang Jian did not see the wrong person this time. Because at this time, Hao Zhao was thinking about returning Jiang Jian's family to Ji County.

However, Hao Zhao's decision was opposed by Zou Qi, who was too guarded by Anding.

Zou Qi was originally a stable Taishou and was in charge of military and political power, but he didn't expect to be appointed as the governor of Anding. deprived him of military command, which made him feel dissatisfied in his heart, although he did not dare to express his dissatisfaction with Liu Bei, he vented this dissatisfaction on Hao Zhao.

Originally, Hao Zhao was busy building fortifications after arriving in Wushi, and he didn't visit him, the head snake, which made him feel gloomy, but now he came to Wushi to see Hao Zhao in person, and the other party was very cold to him, and he had already held his stomach. Now when he saw the call to return Jiang Yin's family, he was immediately furious. borrowed the topic to play: "Jiang Jian shamelessly betrayed in order to survive. has become a chaotic minister and thief, Hao Dudu you but the celebrity let go of his family, this matter is unreasonable, I hope that the governor can comply with everyone's request, kill Jiang Yin's family to make the people angry, otherwise, I am afraid that the majority of the army and the people are dissatisfied, and you are not easy to explain in front of the Duke of Qin. ”

Hao Zhao sneered: "The ancients said that the sin is not as good as that of his wife and children, although Jiang Jian is rebellious, what does it have to do with the family?" What's more, Jiang Yin's rebellion was promised by the general himself, whether he betrayed or not, but he led the army to stop Huang Zhong's pursuit, so that I could wait for a safe breakthrough, just from this point of view, Jiang Jian is my great benefactor of thousands of people, without faith, I don't know what it can do, I don't know how to repay the kindness is not a gentleman, don't say that I have promised to return Jiang Yin's family, even if I didn't agree, just by virtue of Jiang Yin's kindness, the general would have the obligation to return his family to his hometown, if anyone dares to stop it, it will be with Hao and the thousands of brothers under my command can't get along. ”

"Okay, you're good." Zou Qi couldn't help but turn pale, and said angrily: "Hao Zhao, I hope you can be so uplifting in front of Duke Qin." ”

After finishing speaking, Zou Qi couldn't help but brush his sleeves away, and then a letter was handed to Liu Bei, telling Hao Zhao what he had done, and then quietly waiting for the news that Hao Zhao was suspected or even punished.

But after more than ten days, he got a shocking news: the Duke of Qin ordered him to be transferred to the Shangshu of the Qin State, and appointed Hao Zhao as the general of Pingnan, and was in charge of the military defense of the entire Anding County.

A discerning person can see at a glance that although Zou Qi was transferred to the Qin State Shangshutai, it was obviously to make room for Hao Zhao!

"Lonely Hao Bodao, talented, loyal and faithful, worthy of the three armies as an example, specially promoted to the general of Pingnan, stable and too guarded, admired reluctantly!" This passage is full of praise for Hao Zhao, and for his appointment of Zou Qi, he only said a dry appointment and dismissal result, and he didn't even bother to say the reason, which shows Liu Bei's importance to Hao Zhao.

Only then did Zou Qi know that he was afraid that he had made a bad move this time, not only offended Hao Zhao, but even Duke Qin would not have a good impression of him, I am afraid that even if he works diligently in his life, his career can only stop at ordinary Shangshu.

However, Zou Qi had no choice but to reluctantly accept this fact, silently pack his bags, and then head to Chang'an. It's a prosperous place, but it's not right for you!

said that Hao Zhao ignored Zou Qi's faultfinding, but ordered Wei Ping to escort Jiang Jian's family to Ji County, and personally handed it over to Jiang Yin, so he said goodbye to Jiang Jian and Huang Zhong and returned to Wushi.

Seeing that Hao Zhao was really a trustworthy person, even Huang Zhong couldn't help but admire: "This Hao Zhao has clear grievances, is trustworthy in his words, and can treat soldiers well, so he can excel, and he really deserves to be a good general of a generation." ”

Jiang Jian's personal soldier captain Jiang Kai saw the call to send Jiang Jian's family back, and finally admired, not only admired, Hao Zhao's faithfulness, but also admired his master Jiang Jian's wisdom.

After Jiang Jian sent Wei Ping away, he ignored Huang Zhong's approach, and said to his wife and son who was only more than three years old: "Niangzi, Wei'er, you are finally back, and our family will be reunited from now on, all thanks to the virtue of General Huang and General Hao." ”

Huang Zhong smiled and looked at the warm scene of Jiang Yin's family reunion, but he didn't expect that if Liu Qi was here, he would definitely jump up in surprise when he heard the name of the three-year-old guy in front of him who was smiling at him, because this little guy turned out to be Jiang Wei, a famous general who shocked future generations!

At the moment when Jiang Yin's family was reunited, Liu Qi led the army and slowly evacuated Zhangye County, this time he concentrated 50,000 troops to capture Zhangye County and coerce Guzang City.

It's just that Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are also calm people, they know that Liu Qi's army has fought repeatedly, and the army is tired, although it looks quite imposing now, it is bound to not last long, coupled with the difficulty of grain and grass transportation, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to capture Wuwei in one go, so they believe that as long as they stick to Guzang, Liu Qi's army will soon retreat.

And the fact is indeed as they expected, Liu Qi's army attacked Zhangye County and coerced Guzangcheng just to contain Liu Bei and make him unable to aid Hanyang County, and now that they have occupied Hanyang, it is useless to stay in Zhangye County more, so they naturally have to retreat.

But what made Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang most angry was that Liu Qi would withdraw from the army, but he moved all the 20,000 people in the city to the Lingju in Jincheng, and it is said that the reason why Liu Qi was able to trick the people into migrating mainly relied on his Juntian order, a couple gave 200 acres of land, of which 160 acres were used as a mouth to divide the field, cultivated when he was alive, and died as an official, and 40 acres as a Yongye field, which could be left to future generations as property, and the annual tax was only three stones of corn, two zhang of silk, and three taels of cotton.

In the face of such a system, although they are angry, they can't do anything, because if they collect taxes according to such standards, Guanzhong will have to collect at least half of the taxes every year, so that not to mention foreign wars, even the expenses of these officials and the army around them are very difficult.

In fact, if Liu Qi just moved the people, it would be okay, after all, there were only 20,000 people in the city, but Liu Qi asked these people to take away everything that could be taken away in the city, and even the city gate was split into wooden planks and transported back to Lingju, but in the name of using these materials to rebuild homes for the people, the whole city now has no decent place, even if it is relocated to live, I am afraid that even the most basic residential construction will take a month or two.

"Liu Qi'er behaves like this, it's no different from a robber, such a character can actually command the land of the five states, it's really blind!" Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh and scolded hatefully.

Zhuge Liang also frowned, his face was gloomy, although he was angry in his heart, but he also wanted to comfort Liu Bei: "This person has never done anything, does things absurdly, and does it arbitrarily, but fortunately, this person has suffered here for a month, in addition to spending countless grains and grass, but there is no gain, migrating these people, it is estimated that it is just to find a face for his defeat, and now Liu Qi has retreated, which means that Wuwei is finally safe, at least in a few months he will not start a war again, we can use this opportunity to build city defenses, ready to hold on."
