Zhang Han looked at the people who shouted long live, and couldn't help but feel full of emotion in his heart, the so-called blessings and misfortunes depend, and misfortunes and blessings lurked, this sentence is not bad at all. This is finally a blessing in disguise, because a surprise attack by bandits has gained the hearts of the people of Xianyang City.

Not only him, but Shi Cheng, Zhang Ping and all the soldiers were so excited that they burst into tears.

Since surrendering Xiang Yu and returning to Xianyang, since Zhang Han, everyone has been under tremendous psychological pressure, and the disdainful gazes of the old folks have always made them embarrassed.

But at this moment, all the previous estrangements have disappeared, as if they never existed, and the love of the people of Qindi in their memories has returned.

For the soldiers, being supported by the people again is simply unimaginable before.

Zhang Han's face showed a look of relief, he knew that his current biggest problem had finally been solved.

The people's will is the biggest crisis he faced when he came to this world, and only by gaining the trust of the people of Qin can his plan be carried out step by step. Once he can't gain the trust of the people as soon as possible, he will be in a completely passive position in the future Chu-Han hegemony, and there is not much time left for him.

But what made him very relieved was that after this vicious battle, the people of Xianyang finally accepted him. In other words, you have already taken the first step in this world, and as for how far you can go, it depends on the next efforts.

The sky was completely dark at this moment, and at Zhang Han's request, the gathered people finally began to evacuate. Everyone has an eager expression on their faces, and tonight must be a sleepless night for them.

After leaving the palace, only a small number of people returned to their homes, and many more stayed up all night, spontaneously taking to the streets, patrolling the city in groups in search of the bandits who caused chaos.

With the people in the city spontaneously maintaining order, the other soldiers on duty in various parts of the city rushed back, and with their support, Zhang Han was finally able to put his mind at ease.

The entire Xianyang City became a sea of lights at this moment, countless torches lit the streets like day, and everyone in this dilapidated city was mobilized, and they were so excited that they ran around, calling back and forth. This was the first time after the fall of Xianyang that they felt a long-lost sense of belonging.

At this moment, in the palace, it is also a very busy scene. After settling the surrendered bandits, Zhang Ping and his people began to clean up non-stop, this project can be described as time-consuming and laborious, and the bloody corpses can be seen everywhere inside and outside the palace, and it is estimated that it will be the next day after the busy.

Come on, I can't sleep well tonight anyway, Zhang Han simply sat alone in the hall and began to wait, he had already ordered Shi Cheng to count the losses, and he should be able to report it soon, he wanted to know how much he had lost in this battle.

Sitting alone in the empty hall, Zhang Han thought a lot, from his memory of historical development, to some things he personally experienced during this period of time, and today's unexpected scene.

If he only knew a little about this era before, then now, he can be said to have truly integrated into this society.

Before he knew it, he was already in the whirlpool of political struggle, and although the situation was extremely dangerous, he had no way out.

At this time, his own power is still too weak, and he can't compete with other vassal kings at all, and tonight's events also made him completely understand that at this stage, only by extensively mobilizing the power of the people, can he, the king of Yong, be stable.

Before today, Zhang Han was able to guarantee his authority, completely because of Xiang Yu's support behind his back. Without Xiang Yu's support, no one would have a good face for him, whether it was the rebel army or the common people.

Of course, such an embarrassing situation cannot be maintained forever, and for a period of time, Zhang Han has made all kinds of efforts to convince the people, just to receive today's results. Even if Xiang Yu leaves Qin Di tomorrow now, then he has every confidence to maintain his rule on his own.

In fact, Zhang Han can't wait to let the rebels leave now, for no other reason, the existence of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang has seriously hindered his development.

Xiang Yu has to delay his recruitment and training work for a day, and some measures to stabilize the people's hearts cannot be implemented, Zhang Han has always been a puppet king.

And Liu Bang is even more of his own confidant, Liu Bang is still in the dark, thinking that Xiang Yu will abide by the promise of Emperor Yi and crown himself as the king of Han, so he is friendly with the people, but it has won the hearts of many people.

How can Zhang Han sit still, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan will be his own territory in the future, how can he allow others to get involved? Liu Bang's move is tantamount to indirectly dismantling his own platform, how can he not make Zhang Han hate itchy.

If Xiang Yu and Liu Bang don't leave, Zhang Han's grand cause will not be able to be launched, so he is more anxious about this matter than anyone else.

While thinking about it, Shi Cheng's heavy footsteps came to him, and it could be seen that Shi Cheng's mood at this moment must be extremely heavy.

"The statistics are out? Come, sit, and tell me more. Zhang Han moved his body and let the nervous Shi Cheng come to his side.

"Tell the king, in this battle, the king's own soldiers were killed fifty-three, the people died seventy, and a total of one hundred and twenty-one enemies were killed." Shi Cheng's face was solemn, and he reported slowly.

He followed Zhang Han through countless fierce battles, and he had seen no matter how heavy the casualties were, but none of them were like today. Thinking of the seventy civilians lying in pools of blood, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Hearing this data, Zhang Han couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for these heroic people today, I'm afraid the palace would have fallen long ago.

And in addition to the people, more than 50 people were killed in his own soldiers alone, and he was originally a bare-pole commander, which is good, even the bare-rod has been cut off. If this continues, without the replenishment of soldiers, then Xianyang City will be unstable.

But the matter has come to this, he can only sigh and instruct: "Bury all the soldiers and people who defend the palace, and they will die gloriously." ”

"Yes!"

Shi Cheng respectfully responded to the order, and Zhang Han's orders were also expected by him, these soldiers and civilians lost their lives in order to resist the bandits, if they didn't do a good job after their deaths, it would be impossible to say.

"Also, the bereavement pensions of the soldiers who died in the war will be doubled, and the people who lost their lives must also do a good job in dealing with the aftermath."

Zhang Han is not bad for money now, although he is not as rich as Xiang Yu and others, but it is still very easy to take out such a little money, if in order to save this money, it chills people's hearts, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Shi Cheng went to confirm the identities of the dead people overnight, and Zhang Han was left alone in the hall, but he was far from resting. In addition to the bandits killed on the spot, there are still thirty or forty people who are locked up in the palace, and how to deal with this group of villains, this problem is placed in front of Zhang Han again.

According to Shi Cheng and Zhang Ping's opinions, these wicked people should be executed directly, so that not only can they avenge the comrades who died in battle, but the people will also applaud, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

But Zhang Han had a new idea in his heart, he wanted to take this gang of bandits for his own use.

Of course, this is also a way to do it, now their own power is limited to Xianyang City, and they can't take care of it from a distance, but these bandits can be said to be omnipotent, and with them, they can do a lot of things that they couldn't do before.

More importantly, bandits are actually a double-edged sword, if they are used well, not only will they not do any damage to their own side, but they can even take the opportunity to deal a big blow to their competitors.
