Although Fa Zheng has just reached the crown and is an out-and-out hairy boy, his eyes are extremely clear and confident, even though he maintains a certain degree of modesty, he speaks loudly, "Zhang Lu is incompetent, although he is based in Hanzhong, he does not want to forge ahead, thinking that as long as he keeps all the dangers, he can be the king in Hanzhong, where is there such a cheap thing in this world." The lord only needs to assemble the army in the area of Sanguan and Xiegu, and Zhang Lu will inevitably mobilize the army to defend these two passes. As far as I know, in addition to these two major roads, there is also a meridian trail in Nanshan, which can go straight to Nanzheng. Although the mountain road is very steep, the carriage and horses are difficult to walk, but the foot soldier can still walk through the light and simple line, the lord can punish a partial division, through the meridian path and suddenly appear in Nanzheng, then the Nanzheng army is empty, if there is a Han sergeant clan from the answer, then Nanzheng backhand can go down, Hanzhong can be fixed! ”

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Is Xiaozhi sure to say that the Han sergeant clan is moving? ”

Fa Zheng said loudly: "It's man-made, try it before making a wish!" ”

Luo Zheng groaned, and then looked at Jia Xu and Xun Yu.

Jia Xu said: "If you can go down to Hanzhong without blood, it will naturally be the best!" ”

Xun Yu also nodded, Hanzhong is just a county, not as good as the land of Sili, the battle line is thousands of miles, even if Luo Zheng fights for the time being, he will not be able to defend it for the time being, and it is a huge burden for the internal affairs of Liangzhou that have just improved a little. Hanzhong is different, not only the terrain is dangerous, it can be the southwest gateway of Guanzhong, and there is abundant money and food, and there will be no burden on the internal affairs under Luo Zheng's rule.

If the soldiers can go down to Hanzhong without blood, this is naturally a very beneficial good thing.

Luo Zheng saw that Jia Xu and Xun Yu both nodded, and immediately said categorically: "Okay, Xiaozhi can go to Hanzhong to have a try." ”

"Obey the order!"

Fa Zheng hurriedly surrendered his order, and although he tried his best to hide it, he was still a little excited.

Luo Zheng and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and tacitly showed a hint of a smile. But it soon converged.

The biggest difference between young people and old fritters is that young people are passionate and earnest.

Because of the youth. Therefore, I am eager for fame, and I cherish the hard-won opportunity the most.

For young people. It's not enough to have fame and ability, you have to have a chance to make meritorious contributions.

But it is this opportunity to show ability and show off is unattainable for young people.

At a young age, it is simply impossible to occupy a high position in the officialdom, and not every prince is like Luo Zheng and Cao Cao. If you can do meritocracy, you are willing to give young people opportunities.

Fa Zheng is a white ding, and it is already a great honor for Zhishi to be able to serve as a deputy to the military advisor Jia Xu.

Now that the proposed proposal has been adopted, how can I not be excited to have the opportunity to show my talents.

As for Luo Zheng, it is purely another mentality.

Even if he can't go down to Hanzhong without blood, he will give Fa Zheng a chance to show his face.

As the monarch, I am not afraid that my subordinates will not have the heart of fame, but I am afraid that the people under him will not have passion.

As long as you have the heart of fame. It shows that Fa Zheng really wants to do this, at least the starting point is right, for a wise monarch. How to fully let his subordinates give full play to their wisdom is the most important thing.

This is also an important ability that the monarch must have, knowing people and being good at their duties.

As for the algorithm because of its lack of experience, the final result is unsatisfactory, Luo Zheng will also give him the opportunity to let it go, and as for the Fa Zheng will grow in the process, and he has nothing to lose.

Two days later, the dusty Xu Huang finally arrived in Chang'an with 8,000 Hedong troops.

Since the beginning of summer, Guanzhong soldiers and horses have been frequently mobilized.

Now Liangzhou is on the right track. There was no need to leave a large number of troops to garrison, and the strategic focus under Luo Zheng's rule had shifted to Guanzhong. After the tens of thousands of troops under his command captured Guanzhong, they were also gradually reorganized.

The geographical location of Hedong is very important. Only by letting Gao Shun guard can Luo Zheng sleep peacefully.

Hangu was still in the hands of Li Dao, Hongnong became an undefended sheepfold, because Gao Shun was highly respected, Luo Zheng was no stranger to Xu Huang, an unknown person, so he reluctantly let Xu Huang's 8,000 Hedong soldiers temporarily guard Hongnong.

However, Xu Huang was a general after all, and let the Hedong soldiers guard Hongnong, Luo Zheng was a little unsure.

This has nothing to do with trust or not, I haven't even seen Xu Huang's face, so I entrust the important task of guarding the gate of Guanzhong, no matter how wise the monarch is, he will not take this risk, after all, Xu Huang alone cannot represent the eight thousand Hedong soldiers.

Luo Zheng found an opportunity and transferred Xu Huang and his 8,000 Hedong soldiers to Chang'an.

Zhang Liao has both wisdom and bravery, as early as when he was under Lu Bu, he had seen through the treacherous plans of Luo Zheng and Jia Xu, and after putting into Luo Zheng's account, whether it was pacifying Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang counties, or leading the army to attack Anyi before, he showed excellent military talent, and had the talent of a general who stood alone.

Xun Yuti yì asked Zhang Liao to guard Hongnong, which is indeed a good idea.

With Zhang Liao sitting in Hongnong, Luo Zheng is also relieved.

"Akira, see the lord!"

At the east gate of Chang'an, Luo Zheng took a group of henchmen and civil warriors to greet him at the gate of the city.

Xu Huang had already dismounted from the horse, led the war horse on foot, and arrived at the city in time, when Luo Zheng took Jia Xu and others to greet him with a big laugh, he only hesitated slightly, and fell to the ground with a sonorous bow, and greeted him as a courtier.

Although this kind of grand gift is too troublesome, Luo Zheng doesn't care much about it, and he usually waives it if he can avoid it.

But when Xu Huang saw Luo Zheng for the first time, he naturally had to rely on the number of courtesies to show his sincerity.

"Gongming, please get up!"

Luo Zheng strode forward and personally helped Xu Huang up.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Xu Huang got up and stood on one side, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

"Come on, come on, I'll introduce Gongming first!"

Luo Zheng pulled Xu Huang and pointed to Xun Yu at his side first, "This Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, who is the head of the General's Mansion, is responsible for all government affairs under the general's rule, and also serves as the military and political leaders, and is my right-hand man!" ”

Xu Huang arched his hand, "I've seen Lord Changshi!" ”

Xun Yu returned the salute and said a few words of praise.

Luo Zheng also pointed to a Jia Xu, "This Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, a native of Liangzhou, is now a military advisor and a military adviser to me." Like Wen Ruo, he is the right-hand man of this general, and he has many tricks, but he is not very kind. ”

"Haha......"

Xu Chu and Yan Xingxian couldn't help but laugh out loud. Xun Yu, Cheng Ying and others also smiled.

"I've seen the military advisor!"

Xu Huang felt a little strange in his heart, and hurriedly saluted Jia Xu.

Jia Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head. also returned a salute, the lord made a big joke.

Luo Zheng introduced Cheng Ying, Xu Chu, Yan Xing, Wang Fang and other confidants one by one, and Xu Huang greeted them one by one.

The first time I went to Chang'an, I was able to receive such courtesy, and I was somewhat surprised and inexplicably warm.

I'm just a nobody, and I can give such a courtesy to a general who meets for the first time, no matter what. Luo Zheng's approach is impeccable, and he is not a little slow because he is a general.

Moreover, although Xu Huang came to Chang'an for the first time, he already knew a lot about some things in the Xiliang army.

The treatment of the Xiliang soldiers is indeed very good, which makes the Hedong soldiers red-eyed, envious, jealous and hateful.

It's a miracle that a soldier can still eat meat these days.

Although there is only one meal a day, and the amount is not much, it is enough to show that Xiliangjun is well treated.

You know, many princes are short of food in their armies. It is already a great luxury for a soldier to be able to eat a full stomach. When Xu Huang led the troops under Yang Feng, it was common for soldiers in the army to go hungry often.

The army under Luo Zheng was not only well fed. And the fact that you can eat meat is unbelievable.

Xu Huang knew that Luo Zheng had slaughtered Hugh and Tu Gehu and Eight Hundred Miles of Qiang Plain, and the cattle and sheep he grabbed were worth millions, but if he could take them out so that ordinary soldiers could have meat to eat, this would be enough to explain the problem.

And the salary given to the soldiers by the Xiliang soldiers, the importance of the wounded soldiers, etc., are the objects of envy of the Hedong soldiers.

In particular, if the wounded soldiers who can be treated are not treated in a timely manner, resulting in the deterioration of the wounded soldiers' injuries, cripplement, or even death, as long as there are no conditions for treatment, the officers on duty who are responsible for treating the wounded soldiers will be beheaded.

Such military regulations. It not only made it difficult for the Hedong soldiers to accept, but also felt that the Xiliang soldiers were really good.

Give your life to such a lord. Even death is worth it.

In the eyes of the princes, accustomed to being high, the army was nothing more than a tool in their hands.

Even the most benevolent princes. It's already good to be able to feed the soldiers.

Luo Zheng's ability to treat his soldiers so well was the main reason why Xu Huang made up his mind to completely surrender to Luo Zheng.

Xu Huang was born in poverty, has been a soldier for more than ten years, and knows the cruelty of war and the difficulties of soldiers.

If there is really no other way out, who is willing to fight for their lives as a soldier with their heads, and often most of the time, even if they come out to be a soldier, they will often go hungry and have enough to eat, and it is difficult to feed a family.

Although Luo Zheng is famous for his murder and may have blood on his hands, at least he is still very sympathetic to his subordinates.

This alone is enough for Xu Huang.

Only a prince like Luo Zheng, who can treat the people of the Han Dynasty well and is really good to his subordinates, is worthy of his dedication, killing too many people is not a problem, as long as it is not the people of the Han Dynasty; It's okay if the reputation is too stinky, as long as it's not the people who are harming.

Xu Huang was born from the grassroots, and he has no good impression of the Shi clan, let alone Luo Zheng's reputation.

What's more, as soon as he surrendered to the general, he didn't even see Luo Zheng's face, and he was able to guard Hongnong for several months.

That alone says a lot.

Xu Huang compared his heart to his heart, and felt that if he changed to someone else, let alone let himself lead an 8,000 surrender army to guard such a gateway as Hongnong, he was afraid that he would relieve himself of his military power at the first moment.

Luo Zheng can be so large, Xu Huang has no reason not to be grateful.

Although he was still transferred to Chang'an, it didn't matter anymore.

Thinking about the nourishing life of the 8,000 Hedong soldiers under his command in the past few months, Xu Huang felt that Luo Zheng's occupation of Hedong was not only a bad thing for the Hedong soldiers and people, but a great good thing.

At least the 8,000 soldiers under his command don't have to go hungry anymore, and they can eat meat like the Xiliang army.

You can still get military pay on time every month, although all of them are converted into food, but this year, food is more expensive than gold, and the amount is a lot, no one will dislike it, two stone of grain per month, it is more than enough to feed the family.

And Xu Huang also heard that Luo Zheng would not allow the people under his rule to go hungry.

If the local government fails to properly settle the people, they will be severely punished if there is no special reason.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the unwritten rule that the interests of the scholars are higher than the interests of the common people has long been formed.

Although the bureaucracy and doctors will never admit it, it is true.

Luo Zheng's policy and philosophy of the people's interests above one will undoubtedly offend the scholars, but he has been supported by all the people from poor backgrounds, and Xu Huangzi is also one of them, and the more he knows, the more thorough he will become.

The 8,000 Hedong soldiers did not enter the city, so they temporarily set up camp outside the city to rest.

Luo Zheng returned to the official residence with a group of civil and military personnel, and immediately set up a banquet for Xu Huang to catch the wind.

Chang'an now has only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, except for the 10,000 cavalry stationed in the camp outside the city, there are only 5,000 foot soldiers in the city.

20,000 Tuntian soldiers are in the east of the river, and the remaining soldiers and horses are also stationed in various places, and before the Guanzhong is not completely stabilized, the tens of thousands of troops under Luo Zheng cannot move, otherwise the bandits will be together and many places will be in chaos.

Only when the people live in peace and the government restores order can the army leave.

The tens of thousands of soldiers in Chang'an City have been reorganized, but they are of little use for the time being.

Luo Zheng didn't want these soldiers to be idle, he could eat if he wanted to, but he had to exchange it for labor.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were sent to repair bridges and pave roads, dig canals, and reclaim wasteland, anyway, they couldn't let these energetic young men be idle, otherwise there would be problems after a long time, and Luo Zheng naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

When the banquet was over, Xun Yu, Cheng Ying and others dispersed one after another.

Luo Zheng left only Jia Xu and Xu Huang and came to the side hall.

Xu Huang was surprised, he didn't know what else Luo Zheng was doing, but he didn't want to ask more.

Although it is a tasteless low-alcohol sake, it is still slightly smoked after drinking too much.

Luo Zheng rubbed his eyebrows for a while before asking Xu Huang, "Although General Ben has pacified Guanzhong, Hangu Pass is occupied by Li Dao, and Guanzhong has an undefended sheepfold, and it will face the looting and harassment of the Xiliang rebel army under Li Dao at any time. The general did not want to start a full-scale war with Li Wei, and after discussing with Wenhe, he decided to build another Xiongguan in Hangu Pass, thinking that the eastern gateway of Guanzhong, Gongming had been in Hedong for a long time, and guarded Hongnong for several months. ”

Xu Huang groaned and said, "If you start another city, it should be Huayin!" ”

"Huayin?"

Luo Zheng's face moved, and he got up and came to the large military topographic map in front of the screen.

Xu Huang also got up and followed, pointing to Hua ** on the military topographic map: "Lord, please see, Huayin is north of the river, and the south is Huashan, there is a mountain road from Huayin to Dongshili, about a few miles wide, the north is the river, the south is the cliff, if a Xiongguan is raised here, it can be the throat of the four towns, whether it is from the southeast of the river to the pass, or from the front of the Si Li, this is a must-pass place, and it can completely replace Hangu Pass to become the east gate of Guanzhong!"
