Since Shi Baocang was defeated and took Wuguan, the shape of the Guanzhong direction has basically stabilized, and the vast majority of Zhao officials and generals have submitted their orders to surrender, saying that they want to return to the Great Jin Dynasty.

However, there are still a small number of Zhao soldiers who are unwilling to surrender, and entrenched in various mountains, colluding with bandits and bandits, robbing the dangerous people everywhere, causing great harm to the people in Guanzhong, and at the same time, it also threatens the grain route of the Jin army, and the military grain transported along the Weishui tributaries is looted from time to time, although the looted grain and grass is only a small part of the Jin army's military rations, but for Hua'an, it is also intolerable.

In order to build Guanzhong into a base for attacking the Central Plains, these scattered bandits must be completely eliminated, and none of them can be left, otherwise, once the main force enters the Central Plains, these scattered stragglers will bring endless damage to Guanzhong, so that Hua'an has worries.

Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in Guanzhong, the territory is vast, the terrain is complex, and there are many names on various mountains, if you want to eliminate the bandits and bandits hiding in the mountains one by one, it is a very time-consuming and energy-consuming thing, but I am afraid that after these bandits are cleared, the Central Plains is already a different pattern.

Regarding how to exterminate the many bandits in Guanzhong, Hua An felt that he had to think carefully so as not to make any mistakes.

"Big brother, there is already rice grain for sale in Chang'an City, will our army continue to distribute grain?" Wang San walked into the big tent and asked.

Hua An stood up, took a few steps forward, and said softly: "Although there is rice and grain for sale in Chang'an City, those poor people who fled from outside the city to the city have no money at all, if our army does not continue to distribute grain." Shall they not starve to death? ”

"Big brother, but in this way, there are hundreds of thousands of mouths all at once, the consumption of military food is several times more, and the burden on our army has increased greatly, so it's not a long-term solution!" Wang San frowned and said.

When Hua'an heard this, it was such a reason, if he provided rice and grain for the people of Chang'an City endlessly, it would greatly increase the burden of logistics and make a large number of people of the reserve army busy on the road of transportation.

"Guanzhong is not completely stable. Before it is completely stable dìng down. Let the soldiers of the reserve regiment work hard and continue to provide rice and food for the poor people. Hua An ordered.

"Big brother, there is nothing to say about raising rice and grain for the poor people. But some rich people who are so rich also covet this little advantage. He actually came to collect food in silk. Wang San said angrily.

"Haha! It's the common people who are greedy for small gains! If the people have great ambitions. If you don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice, that's terrible! Okay, let's go to the street where the grain is distributed. Hua An said and walked outside.

Soon. Hua'an arrived at the largest street in Chang'an and appeared at the place where the grain was distributed.

Looking up, I saw an endless stream of people queuing up to receive food, there were poor people in rags, and there were rich people in silk, for a mere one's meal, so many people came to line up tirelessly, if the poor were hungry, it was easy to understand, but those rich people in silk also came to suffer this sin, which made Hua'an feel funny.

"Big brother, you see, so many people, more than half of them can afford to buy grain, but they all come to receive free rice grain." Wang San pointed to the many people and said softly.

Hua An smiled and said softly: "Don't be so stingy, compared to the people's aspirations, this bit of grain and grass is really nothing, how about letting these ordinary people take advantage of it, haha!" ”

Looking at the excited expressions of these people when they received the military rations, Hua'an felt very interesting, during the reign of Shi Hu, the vast area of Zhao State, the people were severely devastated and abused, at this time, Guanzhong was recovered, Hua'an just wanted to treat the people as preferentially as possible, so that the people could form a strong contrast in their hearts, so as to willingly obey the rule of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Hua An looked at the crowd carefully, but saw a young man in a linen short coat, glanced at the position where the grain was distributed, and then walked away with a smile instead of joining the queue.

"This young man does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, he must be a talent with great ambitions." Hua An looked at the young man and whispered.

Wang San nodded and said, "Yes!" This young man, dressed in a short linen coat, looked like he was born poor, but he was not tempted by the rice grain for a day, and he really had a bit of backbone. ”

Hua An took a closer look, this young man, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, revealed a convincing heroism in his eyes, which was an extremely confident look, which was enough to show that this person was extraordinary.

"Let's go and have a look." Hua An walked over to the young man as he spoke, followed by Wang San.

Seeing Hua An walking towards him, the young man did not have any sense of nervousness, but was calm, just like usual, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The people are queuing up to receive food, why do you want to go lightly, these rice grains are all given away for free, don't you need them?" Hua An asked softly.

While catching lice, the young man replied indifferently: "General Hui, although you are poor, you still have the money to buy rice, why do you want to get it for nothing?" The tone is neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm.

"Okay, ambitious, what's your name." Huaan asked loudly.

The young man was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Under the surname Wang, the name is Meng, the word Jingluo, Beihai people, I don't know who the general is?" After speaking, he looked at Hua'an.

"Wang Meng." Hua An was shocked when he heard this, Wang Meng, who assisted Fu Jian in history to sweep away the heroes and unify the north, and was known as the 'first person to cover Zhuge Gong', was actually standing in front of him, and he could see that he was very young, a few years younger than himself.

Seeing that Hua An was stunned and didn't speak, Wang San introduced: "Young man, listen up, this is General Hua, the chief general of our army." ”

"Wang Meng has seen General Hua." Wang Meng saw that the person in front of him was Hua'an, and hurriedly bowed.

"You're welcome, please get up." Hua An stretched out his hand and motioned for Wang Meng to get up.

This time, Wang Meng traveled hundreds of miles from Huashan to Chang'an, and the most important purpose was to go to the military camp to meet Hua'an, so as to see whether this famous Jin army general was as good as rumored, so as to determine whether it was worth following.

After all, Wang Meng has been studying hard in the mountains for many years, in order to have an opportunity to show his talents, and only when he meets the master can his full talent be vividly displayed.

When he first saw Hua'an, Wang Meng was quite satisfied, at least Hua'an's figure and temperament were consistent with the rumors, and even better than the rumors.

On the streets of Chang'an, it is the arrangement of providence to meet such an excellent talent as Wang Meng, how can you miss it, Hua Anxin made up his mind to recruit.

"Wang Meng, Ben Jiang is destined to you, why don't you go to Ben General's big tent and talk about it?" Huaan sincerely invited.

Wang Meng smiled and said: "Meng rushed from Huashan to Chang'an, just to see the general's demeanor, since the general is invited, how can Meng not obey orders, haha!" The words were extremely free.

Seeing that Wang Meng came to Chang'an specifically to see him, Hua Anxin was even more overjoyed, which showed that Wang Meng intended to defect, at least he already had this thought.

"Hahaha!" Hua An laughed a few times and said loudly: "Wang Meng, get on the horse, go to the camp with the general, and see the demeanor of the general's personal guards." ”

"Wang Meng obeyed." Wang Meng stepped on his horse and followed Hua'an in the direction of the Jin army camp.

On the way, Hua An looked at Wang Meng and asked, "I originally gave military food to the people and solved the people's urgent needs, is this considered a merit?" ”

When Wang Meng heard this, he pointed at Hua'an and laughed: "The hearts of the people in Guanzhong are all obtained by the general, so why say more, hahaha!" ”

Seeing Wang Meng say the most secret purpose in his heart in one sentence, Hua An was amazed in his heart, this Wang Meng is really a rich man, and he has an upright personality, and he doesn't beat around the bush at all.

Hua An looked at Wang Meng approvingly, and asked softly: "Wang Meng, now that the Zhao Kingdom is in turmoil, in your opinion, how will the pattern of the world evolve in the future, can my Great Jin Wang Shi follow the line to recover the Central Plains, and when is it most appropriate to send troops." ”

When Wang Meng heard this, he smiled and said: "The general is too high, how does the pattern of the world evolve, how can a scholar in the lower district dare to talk nonsense, so as not to laugh and be generous." ”

"Eh, don't be modest, it's okay to talk about it, no one will make fun of you." Hua An insisted that Wang Meng speak his mind.

Seeing that Hua'an insisted on asking for a plan, Wang Meng thought for a moment, and said: "When the general trend is today, Zhao is still the most powerful, the so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, the most elite and brave soldiers and horses of Zhao are all in the direction of Yecheng, there are so many elite soldiers and horses, enough to match any soldiers and horses in the world, but Shi Hu died violently, and the sons seized the throne, in the continuous attrition, the elite soldiers and horses of Zhao will be exhausted sooner or later, but at present, it is still the strongest in Zhao, and outside of Zhao, it is naturally the most powerful in the Great Jin Dynasty, followed by the Yan State in the northeast, Although the Yan State is attached to the Great Jin Dynasty, it is not of the same mind as the Great Jin Dynasty, and when the Zhao State is declining, it is very likely that the Yan State will compete with the Great Jin Dynasty for the land of the Central Plains, but it is impossible to judge who the Central Plains belongs to. ”

"What you mean is that after the decline of the Zhao State, the Yan State will compete with the Great Jin for the land of the Central Plains." Hua An said softly.

In fact, this is all knowingly asked, Hua An still has a relatively clear understanding of the history of Yan Kingdom's entry into the Central Plains, and from the report of the smart man who secretly infiltrated Liaodong, Murong Jun, the king of Yan, has gathered 200,000 elite soldiers and is ready to attack the Central Plains.

"That's right, today, except for the Yan State, there is no force that can match the Great Jin Dynasty, after the decline of the Zhao State, the Central Plains will either return to the Jin or Yan, or it may fall apart and enter the troubled era of competing for hegemony." Wang Meng said.

Hua An smiled and praised: "What you said is very good, but, in the opinion of the general, after the decline of the Zhao State, the Central Plains will first enter the troubled era of the competition for hegemony, and then it will be my Great Jin and Yan Kingdom to compete for the Central Plains."
