Meng Haigong led an army of 60,000 troops to annihilate the last Jiangnan army led by Shen Lun, and began to rush towards Jiangning at full speed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time Meng Haigong was ruthless, he must kill all the members of the Jiangnan Society, he knew very well in his heart that the Jiangnan Shi clan would not support him, these Shi clans were the representatives of Jiangnan forces, only by eradicating them all, he could gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan, eradicate the Shi clan who opposed him, and instead cultivate local heroes who supported him, such as his subordinate generals and so on.

"Big brother!"

The younger brother Meng Qi ghost chased after him and said to Meng Hai: "Wang Shun has no news until now, I suggest that it is best to be careful." ”

Meng Haigong also felt a little strange, he had told Wang Shun before, no matter whether he captured the city or not, he had to report the situation in Jiangning to him immediately, it stands to reason that Wang Shun's fast letter should have arrived a long time ago, why is there no news now?

Meng Haigong immediately ordered: "Slow down the march!" ”

Several heralds galloped on horseback to give the order, "The king has an order, slow down the march!" ”

The marching speed of the army finally slowed down, and at this moment, several cavalry spies brought back three soldiers, "Great King, General Wang has an accident. ”

Meng Haigong was stunned and immediately asked the three soldiers, "What's wrong?" ”

The three soldiers knelt down and wept: "We are surrounded by the Sui army, all the brothers have been killed, and General Wang has also died in battle!" ”

Meng Haigong was taken aback, it was actually Sui Jun, and he hurriedly ordered: "Stop advancing!" ”

The team stopped, and he grabbed the shirt of a soldier and said angrily: "What the hell is going on, tell me clearly!" ”

"We rushed to Jiangning County first, but Jiangning was already an empty city, General Wang heard that the people of Jiangning County had fled to the dock, so he led the brothers to chase the dock, but was ambushed by the Sui army on the way, except for a few of us who ran fast to escape, the other brothers could not escape."

"How many Sui troops are there?"

"I don't know how many, but there are at least two groups, one of which is cavalry, at least a few thousand people, and I saw General Wang stabbed to death with a lance by the head of the general."

Meng Haigong seemed to realize something, and he asked again: "Are you sure that the other party's general is using a horse lance?" ”

"It must be a horse lance, exactly the same as Gongzi's horse lance, the shot is too fast, and General Wang will be picked under the horse with one look."

Meng Haigong probably guessed that the person who killed Wang Shun should be Pei Xingyan, the general of the Sui army only Pei Xingyan used a horse lance alone, and he was also a cavalry general, Wang Shun's martial arts were not weak, and he could stab him to death in the face, he must be an extremely powerful person, and there would be no one else except Pei Xingyan.

"Big brother, is it Pei Xingyan?" Meng asked nervously.

Meng Haigong nodded, "It must be him!" ”

Meng Qi Ghost gasped, Pei Xingyan appeared, could it be that the main force of the Sui army was killed? He was timid in his heart, and whispered to Meng Hai: "Big brother, let's go back to Qu'a!" Don't let the Sui army rob us of our back road. ”

Although this was an excuse for Meng Qi's cowardice, this sentence reminded Meng Haigong that the Sui army was strong, and they were likely to kill them along the Jiangnan Canal from Jingkou, and they would indeed cut off their own back road, and they retreated to Qu'a County just to choke the Jiangnan Canal.

Although Meng Haigong was eager to kill the Jiangnan Society, the appearance of the Sui army made him vigilant, and he had to be cautious, let those bastards go first, and then clean them up when he turned back.

Meng Haigong immediately shouted: "Order the whole army to retreat and retreat to Qu'a County!" ”

........

As the day dawned, the hundreds of thousands of people on the Jiangning wharf had all been evacuated to the north bank of the Yangtze River, not far away was the Liuhe Mountain, which stretched for hundreds of miles, and the Sui army had already prepared, they set up thousands of tents at the foot of the mountain for more than 100,000 people to live temporarily, and boiled thousands of pots of hot porridge, and 5,000 soldiers were responsible for maintaining order and trying their best to help these civilians who escaped across the Yangtze River.

Because of the crossing of the Yangtze River, hundreds of thousands of people were frightened, the Sui army's life-saving grace and careful care of them, so that every Jiangning people's hearts were full of gratitude to the Sui army, but at the same time they were also worried about their homeland, the Menghai Guild would not burn Jiangning County, if that was the case, where would they go in the future?

In the afternoon, the Sui army on the other side brought news that Meng Haigong's forward was ambushed by the Sui army, and the whole army was annihilated, Meng Haigong's army had retreated south in a hurry, and Jiangning County was safe and sound.

This news made hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangning cheer, and their homes were saved.

Zhang Xuan rarely inspects the refugee camps, and he leaves these things to the civil ministers to carry out, but this time he paid unusual attention to the Jiangning refugee camp, and spent the whole morning inspecting the makeshift refugee camps, chatting with the people of Jiangning to understand their thoughts and suffering.

Accompanying Zhang Xuan on his inspection of the refugee camp was Bing Yuanzhen, the number one strategist of Wagangzhai who was ******** due to defeat in the internal power struggle, and finally surrendered to Zhang Xuan with Shan Xiongxin, Shan Xiongxin became the Taishou of Dongjun, and Bing Yuanzhen became Zhang Xuan's staff, and after getting along for a while, Zhang Xuan found that his strategy and ability were no less than Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Zhang Xuan completely handed over the resettlement of the refugee camp to him, from tents to food supplies, etc., he was very careful and thoughtful, and arranged in an orderly manner, from some details, Zhang Xuan could see his ability.

For example, the toilet is convenient, which is a detail that many refugee camps do not pay much attention to, but Bing Yuanzhen thought of it, he built 30 large tents for thatched toilets, including 20 for women and 10 for men.

Not only that, Bing Yuanzhen also set up a mother and baby account for mothers and young children, it is these careful and proper considerations that have won the unanimous praise of the people of Jiangning, of course, Zhang Xuan's heart is satisfied, it is obvious that Bing Yuanzhen understands his mind very well, and winning the hearts of the people in Jiangnan is the top priority of this rescue mission.

"How did Sir come up with the idea of setting up a latrine for women?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile as he looked at a row of large tents surrounded by barracks in the distance.

Bing Yuanzhen said with a smile: "I have a deep understanding of the lowly position, the eighth year of the Great Cause, a riot broke out in Wagangzhai, Zhai Gong asked me to deal with this matter, I found that the soldiers who participated in the riot have families in Wagangzhai, and then in-depth investigation only found out that it was because Zhai Gong rewarded Zhai Hong with 500 pieces of silk, Zhai Hong distributed it to his veterans and generals, and the wives and daughters of the other part of the generals did not instigate behind their backs because they got the silk, which led to a riot and found the source of the problem, so I suggested that Zhai Gong give a silk to all his family members as a New Year's gift, The riot immediately subsided.

I have a deep understanding that many times the pillow wind will be more effective, His Royal Highness wants to win the hearts of the people of Jiangnan, and he feels that it will be more effective to make a fuss about women, such as toilet problems and maternal and infant problems, which seem to be small, but if you think about it thoroughly, in fact, it doesn't cost anything, and the women of Jiangnan will support Your Highness, which is called doing big things in the subtleties. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded again and again, "It's very well said, 'doing big things in the subtleties' inspires me deeply." ”

Bing Yuanzhen smiled again: "There is another suggestion for the humble position, I hope Your Highness can consider it." ”

"You say!"

"Humble consideration, the root of the problem of north-south integration lies in the degree of recognition of the north by the south, hundreds of years of division between the north and the south, the north is the world of the Hu people, and the south is the world of the Han people, resulting in the Hu and Han people do not recognize each other, although the Sui Dynasty unified the south, but the Sui Dynasty's powerful ministers are still the mainstream of the Xianbei people, so the south does not recognize, resulting in the south has always been revolting, but after nearly 30 years of running-in, especially the Ming Emperor (note: Yang Guangzhen) to support the Han and suppress the Hu, the contradiction between the north and the south has actually changed from the dispute between the Hu and the Han to the battle of interests."

"Go on!" Jang Hyun was interested.

Bing Yuanzhen was encouraged, and continued: "I studied in Wu County for five years, and I have a better understanding of the situation in Jiangnan, because of the high price of rice and the large yield, so in the Lianghu and Jiangnan areas, the Guanlong nobles occupy a large amount of fertile land, forming countless manors, Your Highness can completely take these estates into the ownership of the government, and when the government grants land in the future, it will be conducive to the flow of population to Jiangnan, and will have a great role in promoting the development of Jiangnan." ”

"Is this beneficial to the Jiangnan Shi clan?" Zhang Xuan asked with a deep sigh.

Bing Yuanzhen said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Guanlong nobles will expand the manor through mergers and purchases, and many of the declining small clans or small landlords' lands will be occupied by them by using their power, and the Jiangnan clans are often at a disadvantage, and the competition for land is the most fundamental battle of interests, in fact, the commerce of Jiangdu is the same, and it is also a dispute between the Jiangnan clan and the Guanlong nobles." ”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a long time and said: "This matter is very important, let me think about it!" ”

Bing Yuanzhen didn't say anything more, and at this time, a personal soldier stepped forward and whispered a few words to Zhang Xuan, who smiled and said, "This is interesting, where is he now?" ”

"They have been brought to His Highness's ship and waited."

Zhang Xuan nodded, said a few more words to Bing Yuanzhen, and then turned around and walked towards the river.
