The generals of the Shu army couldn't stop drinking, their subordinates surrendered one after another, and the rout of the defense line has become an inevitable trend.

"Surrender or die, surrender or die." The officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army shouted loudly again.

At this time, the brigade of the Northern Expeditionary Army had already attacked the city wall, but most of the soldiers of the Shu Army had fled, and the remaining few men and horses were not enough to stop the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the resistance had become futile.

For this reason, the soldiers of the Shu army almost surrendered, only the general who was responsible for defending the south gate and his own soldiers were still struggling to resist, but they were almost unable to support it.

"General, I can't stand it, let's go!" The two personal soldiers dragged the general's arm and dragged the Shu army general to the city.

"Let go of the general, let go." The generals of the Shu army still wanted to resist, but they were dragged away by their own soldiers.

With the defeat of the Shu army on all fronts, the south gate of Nanzheng was broken by the Northern Expeditionary Army, after breaking through the south gate, the city gate was first opened, and the men and horses under the command of Zhao Wu were divided into three roads, marching in the east, west and north directions.

Seeing that the men and horses under his command had already opened the city gate, Zhao Wu was overjoyed, and hurriedly led the rest of the men and horses to ride into Nanzheng City.

The news that the south gate was breached by the Jin army soon spread throughout the city, and naturally also reached the ears of Li Guang, the king of Han.

Li Guang, some of the generals, and his own soldiers, a total of 500 men, hurriedly fled in the direction of the north gate.

At this time, outside the north gate, there was no trace of Jin soldiers and horses, Li Guang relieved his mind and hurriedly ordered the soldiers guarding the gate to open the city gate.

After the city gate opened, Li Guang first rode his horse and galloped out. The generals and five hundred soldiers behind him followed, and the group did not dare to stop at all, and galloped north along the main road.

After Li Guang's group took the lead in escaping, thousands of Shu soldiers poured out from the direction of the North Gate, all of whom were defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army and fled outward.

The Shu soldiers who remained in the city, except for the thousands of people and horses who died in battle, most of them were captured by the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Soon, the army of iron bulls and thunderstorms also entered the city one after another, and Nanzheng, the capital of Liangzhou. It was already completely under the control of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Subsequently. Tie Niu and Zhao Wu's men began to clean up the battlefield, arrange the prisoner camp, and maintain law and order in Nanzheng. The nearly 10,000 cavalry of the thunderstorm rode out of the north gate. Chase down the soldiers of the Shu army who fled in rout.

In the north of Nanzheng City, Baozhong City. Hua An was standing at the head of the city with Wang San, admiring the large hills and meadows outside the city.

At this point, it's already noon. The pro-military battalion under the command of Hua'an has already made a preparation, and is waiting for the soldiers of the Shu army to enter the urn.

"Big brother, look, there is also a dense meadow outside Baozhong City! It's similar to the scenery outside Saigo! Wang San looked at the scenery outside the city and said softly.

"The Liangzhou Mountains are hilly, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and naturally there are the most weeds, and the climate here is harsh, which is not comparable to the south of the Yangtze River." Hua An said casually.

Wang San nodded and said, "It's a pity that there are so many wastelands and weeds, if you plant crops, how much grain will you have to harvest!" ”

Hua An smiled and said: "If you want to grow crops, the most inseparable thing is water, and there are not many water networks in Liangzhou, many rivers marked on the map are often cut off, without water, it is difficult for crops to grow, and the people will naturally not reclaim land here." ”

"Oops! If only there was enough water, then a large area of land in Liangzhou could be planted with crops, and the lives of the common people would be better. Wang San sighed.

Hua An pointed to the guide and said: "Twenty miles away in the south, the amount of water is sufficient, and it flows continuously all year round, as long as the water can be diverted here, the irrigation problem here will be solved, and the people will naturally be willing to reclaim the land here." ”

"What the eldest brother means is to build water conservancy and expand fertile land." There was a hint of excitement in Wang San's tone.

Hua An nodded and said: "Exactly, as long as the Shu army in Liangzhou is eliminated, the first thing we have to do is to make the people here believe in us, and the second step is to build water conservancy, expand the scale of fertile land, and let the people live a good life." ”

When Wang San heard this, he applauded and asked, "Big brother, what about the third and fourth steps?" How many steps does Big Brother already have? ”

Hua An smiled and said: "The third step is to make every effort to develop production, fertile land, pastures, mines, and handicraft workshops must be developed, and the fourth step is naturally to gradually recruit troops and train an elite division that can be proud of the world, ready to go north at any time, recover Guanzhong, and then go east to recover the Central Plains." ”

"Hahaha! It's really good, big brother's plan, it's very enjoyable just listening to it! Wang San said excitedly.

Hua An smiled, looked up at the south gate, and suddenly found wisps of smoke and dust rising in the distance.

"Smoke and dust, it must be the rout of the Shu army, maybe there are big fish!" Hua An looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and said softly.

"The eldest brother is really clever, the Shu army is rushing to the route, which is enough to show that Nanzheng has been broken by our army." Wang San opened his mouth to compliment.

Hua An smiled and said, "Quick, let the soldiers prepare, as long as the soldiers and horses of Shu enter the city, our army will be able to catch turtles in the urn." ”

"Yes, big brother." Wang San whispered a word and quickly went along the city wall to give the order.

Hua An stood at the lookout hole of the female wall, and carefully looked at the soldiers and horses that were rushing towards the Shu army, and the preliminary estimate was that it was about five hundred cavalry.

The smoke and dust are getting bigger and bigger, getting closer and closer, and soon, the clothes and armor of the Shu soldiers and horses can be seen very clearly, in order to prevent being discovered by the Shu soldiers, Hua An gently lowered his body.

When Li Guang led his generals and 500 personal soldiers to the vicinity of Baozhong City, he was already sleepy and tired, and the banner of the Shu army fluttering on Baozhong City seemed to tell them that Baozhong City had not yet been occupied by the Jin army.

"General, Baozhong City has not been lost, the soldiers have galloped for more than 20 miles in a row, and they are already sleepy and tired, so it is better to enter Baozhong City to rest for a while, so that the war horses can drink some water." A ministry will build a yì road.

Li Guang licked his chapped lips, looked up at the banner of the Shu army on the wall of Baozhong City, and said softly: "Okay, then enter Baozhong City for the time being, rest for half an hour and leave." ”

"King Han, don't be, be careful of deception." One of the pro-soldiers looked at the open gate and exhorted loudly.

"Bastard, you're a little team, there's no place for you to speak here, step back." The general shouted a reprimand.

Li Guang waved his hand and said, "Let him speak, let him speak." ”

"King Han, the Jin army surrounded Nanzheng for three whole days, during which the scouts sent by our army to Baozhong did not come back, Baozhong is only more than 20 miles away from Nanzheng, the city must have been occupied by the Jin army, Wanghan King Mingcha." The pro-soldier team said with a straight face.

After listening to the analysis of the pro-soldier team, Li Guang frowned, he looked in the direction of Baozhong City, and his heart became worried.

"King Han doesn't have to worry, the flag of our army is fluttering on the head of the city, which is enough to show that Baozhong City is still in the hands of our army, as for the scouts sent out have not returned, it must be that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and when they saw that the Jin army was strong, they fled out of the city." The general opened his mouth to comfort.

Hearing the words greedy for life and afraid of death, Li Guang couldn't help but be angry, raised his eyes and glared at his subordinates, in this special period of defeat, people's psychology is extremely sensitive, Li Guang heard the words 'greedy for life and afraid of death', he naturally thought of himself, he always felt that his subordinates said this, it was a hint that he gave up Nanzheng, greedy for life and afraid of death.

The subordinate glared at Li Guang, and hurriedly bowed his head and retreated,

Li Guang looked at the pro-soldier team behind him and said softly, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the Han King, villain Pu Tie." The pro-soldier team hurriedly replied.

Li Guang nodded and said: "Pu Tie, this king knows that you are loyal, and now this king will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, you immediately lead a hundred men and horses under your command into Baozhong City to investigate, if it is normal, this king will lead the rest of the men and horses into the city." ”

"King Han, this ......" Pu Tie was already sure in his heart that Baozhong was occupied by the Jin army, so he was naturally unwilling to throw himself into the net.

"King Han ordered, you don't go quickly." The subordinate general beside Li Guang reprimanded loudly.

"Yes, King Han." Pu Tie took the order head-on, and immediately led a hundred cavalry under his command to gallop towards Baozhong City.

Li Guang led the rest of the men and horses and walked slowly in the direction of Baozhong City.

In the direction of Baozhong City, Hua'an and Wang San were bowing their bodies, looking carefully outside the city, seeing that the Shu army and horses were divided into part of the troops and rushed towards Baozhong City, and secretly sighed in their hearts The cunning of the Shu army, however, Hua'an has been fully prepared, even if the follow-up men and horses of the Shu army do not enter the city, Hua'an will send cavalry to chase after it, and it is not difficult to capture the generals of the Shu army.

"Big brother, the vanguard of the Shu army is coming, it seems that the ambush of our army will definitely be discovered, what a pity!" Wang San sighed.

Hua An smiled lightly and said: "Not necessarily, as long as the soldiers are well hidden, the forwards of the Shu army may not be able to find out, besides, the eldest brother has made all the arrangements." ”

"Okay, I believe in big brother." Wang San nodded and squatted down slightly.

Soon, a hundred cavalry led by Pu Tie rushed to the south gate of Baozhong City.

Pu Tie took the lead, looked up carefully at the vicinity of the city gate, and saw that the gates of the urn city and the main city were wide open, so he slowly rode his horse forward.

"A few of you, did you see the Jin Army?" Pu Tie rode his horse to the gate of the urn city, looked at several soldiers wearing Shu army armor on both sides, and asked loudly.

"Jin soldiers and horses, I didn't see it, I didn't see it." The soldiers guarding the door hurriedly denied it and pretended to be indifferent.

In fact, these soldiers are the soldiers of the Shu army stationed in Baozhong City, but after being captured by the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Northern Expeditionary Army treated them well, so they naturally took refuge in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and now, under the order of Hua'an, they are responsible for guarding the city gate to confuse the unsuspecting Shu soldiers.
