Chapter 437: A Complete Break
Fa Zheng clenched his fists and said: "This matter is already known to his subordinates. I wonder what the lord is going to do with these people who were once unbandits? ”
Zhang Lang said: "They are also victims. I'm going to get them to go home and rebuild their homes. ”
Fa Zheng said happily: "The lord is wise. ”
Zhang Lang thought for a while, "The follow-up reconstruction work and persuading the fleeing people to return home are very heavy!" Fa Zheng said confidently: "Don't worry, your subordinates have already planned!" Laborers can use locals to rebuild their homes, and they are naturally willing to contribute. As for the funds, the subordinates had already talked with several big businessmen in Xichuan a few days ago, and they were all willing to help the refugees rebuild their homes with money and grain from all over the county, and the preliminarily determined money was 500,000 taels of silver, and more than 300,000 quintals of grain, which was enough in the early stage! ”
Zhang Lang nodded, "I have already told Yueying when I left Luoyang, and she will work with relevant parties to raise follow-up money and food for the reconstruction work here." You don't have to worry about these problems. ”
"Thank you, Lord."
Zhang Lang thought for a while, "After experiencing such a thing, these people are afraid that they have left a shadow in their hearts!" These shadows must be dispelled! Therefore, I feel that it is necessary to station an army in the lair of the original bandit army on Qingcheng Mountain to calm the hearts of the people! ”
Fa Zheng said happily: "The lord is wise! If so, I believe that the people will not be afraid anymore! ”
Zhang Lang said with a smile: "It's not all about appeasing the people," he paused, "The mountains and rivers west of the Minjiang River are steep, and it is necessary to set up a military camp to control that mountain and river, and it is occupied by mountain bandits and bandits, so that the place is dangerous!" Fa Zheng nodded sympathetically.
Zhang Lang smiled: "Okay, the things we should deal with have been dealt with!" The next thing is to test filial piety! Fa Zheng hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "My subordinates must do their best to live up to the trust of the lord!" Zhang Lang smiled and nodded. He stood up and walked in front of Fazheng, "I should go." ”
Fa Zheng felt a little strange, and asked with his fists clenched: "The lord has come thousands of miles and worked tirelessly, is he going back?" ”
Zhang Lang smiled: "No. Meng Qi and I are going to Nanzhong. ”
Fa Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "It turns out that the real purpose of the lord is not Zhang Fang!" Zhang Lang smiled and nodded, "That living bandit, although hateful, is not qualified to let me take action personally!" After a pause, he asked, "Now that Zhang Fang's gang of bandits has been wiped out, you should have enough troops in your hands, right?" Fa Zheng hurriedly said: "It's completely enough!" In fact, the 20,000 soldiers of the War Bear Legion don't have to stay here, and now Xichuan, only the city defense army is enough to maintain daily law and order! ”
Zhang Lang thought for a while, "The 20,000 Battle Bear Army is still under your command for the time being, and after all of them settle down, I will transfer them away!" "No."
Later that day, Zhang Lang led Ma Chao and the Blue Wolf Legion to leave Jiangyuan County and go south.
……
Dianchi City, the Queen's Residence.
Zhu Rong hurried to the lobby, saw Taishou Li Ji, and asked, "Your Excellency came here in a hurry, but what happened urgently?" ”
Li Ji immediately presented a letter to Zhu Rong: "This is a letter sent by the lord to send a fast horse, and it is for the queen." Zhu Rong was a little surprised, opened the letter, and read a piece. Frowning and silent for a moment, he sighed, "Meng Huo always doesn't listen to advice!" And it's no wonder that the general decided to do so! He glanced at Li Ji, who was full of curiosity, and said, "The general ordered me to attack Meng Shu with all the army under his command. Let you prepare grain and grass in Dianchi City. ”
Li Ji nodded and asked with some concern, "Is the queen sure to defeat Meng Shu?" ”
Zhu Rong frowned and said, "I am equal to Meng Xu's strength, it is difficult to defeat him!" But now that the general has given the order, I have to go all out! Li Ji nodded, and said with emotion: "The queen is really loyal and brave!" ”
Zhu Rong said lightly: "I am not doing this entirely for the sake of the general, but also for the peace and well-being of the entire Nanzhong!" ”
Zhu Rong gathered all the female generals, passed down the whole army, and marched to Qinzang County. Qinzang County, which has already appeared above, is more than 100 miles northwest of Dianchi City, and can be regarded as an outpost of Meng Huo's forces.
Meng Shu was drinking sullen wine in Qinzang County, and kept scolding the Xianbei people in his mouth: "Waste! What a rubbish! I also expect you to fight with Lu Bujun for a little longer, and you actually stopped fighting so soon! It's a waste of time! "It turned out that Meng Huo originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the Xianbei army to invade the south, first sweep the entire Nanzhong, and then go north to occupy Xichuan, and then plot against the Central Plains. However, it backfired, and the battle between the Xianbei people and Lu Bu lasted only a little more than a month before it ended. Before Meng Houdu could launch an attack, he received the news of the end of the war and had to temporarily stop the plan.
Meng You suddenly rushed in in a hurry, and said urgently: "Big brother is not good!" I wish her well, she ......"
Meng Shu raised his head and asked unhappily, "What's wrong with Zhu Rong?" ”
Meng You swallowed his saliva, "Zhu Rong has exhausted her army, and she has already arrived in the city!" ”
Meng Shu was stunned for a moment, Huo Ran got up, slammed the wine bowl in his hand on the ground, and waited for his blood-red eyes to scold: "I won't beat her, she actually came to beat me!" She is determined to work for Lu Bu! One lifted his big axe and said, "Go!" He strode out of the hall.
Meng Huo climbed the city wall surrounded by Meng You and his own soldiers. Looking outside, I saw Zhu Rong's hundreds of thousands of troops forming a neat formation under the city, wearing a colorful pheasant tail crown, wearing leather armor and a colorful red cloak, Zhu Rong, tall and fit, led more than a dozen female generals to the front of the military formation. When Meng Huo saw Zhu Rong, his eyes were almost spewing fire!
Zhu Rong saw Meng Shu and raised his voice: "Meng Huo, I don't want to fight with you, it will inevitably be ruined, you better give up your unrealistic fantasies!" ”
Meng Huo shouted in a gong-like voice: "Zhu Rong, since you are desperate for Lu Bu, I will not show mercy to my subordinates!" Zhu Rong frowned.
Meng Huo shouted to open the city gates. The city gate was wide open, Meng Shu led 60,000 troops out of the city, with their backs to the city wall array, at this moment, on the city wall, thousands of crossbowmen have gathered, the bows and crossbows are wound, ready to shoot the feet of the Zhurong army at any time.
Meng Huo rode a fat war horse and rushed out of the battle, pointed at Zhu Rong with a big axe and shouted: "Zhu Rong, you and I are gracious!" I'm going to kill you today! ”
Zhu Rong rode out with a spear.
Seeing this, Meng Yu shouted, urging the fat horse to raise the battle axe and rush towards Zhu Rong. Zhu Rong frowned, and got off the horse to greet him. The two horses intersected, and Meng Shu struggled to swing the battle axe, and the battle axe roared towards Zhu Rong's slender neck! The moves are ruthless and overwhelming, he really wants to kill Zhu Rong!
Zhu Rong leaned back, avoiding the axe. The two ran more than ten meters away and turned the horse's head. Zhu Rong frowned, his face was pained, and Meng Yu continued to scream and kill with a battle axe.
