On the fifth day of March 196 AD, Le Jin and Cao Chun led 4,000 tigers and leopards, and 10,000 tigers and leopards arrived at Chenliufugou and approached Yingchuan.

Wang Xu stopped in Linying to suppress the Cao army, so that the money, armor, war horses and other booty captured in this battle could have enough time to be transported back to Jingzhou, and now all the matters have been completed smoothly, knowing that the core elite troops of the Cao army are about to arrive, he immediately pulled out the camp and withdrew the troops, and slowly returned to Luyang County four days later.

At this time, all the seizures in this battle were still piled up in Luyang, and when Wang Xu got the material inventory from Su Fei and Huo Jun, he was also dumbfounded by the abundance of harvest, and the accompanying Jingzhou generals were also shocked!

Five baht as much as 3.5 billion yuan, because the Jingzhou treasury is similar to the calculation in the "Records of Numbers", trillions are billions, billions are trillions, and trillions are Beijing, so this income is extremely amazing, and there are a lot of gold, silver, jade, jewelry and other valuables.

Most of these harvests came from Cao Cao's Zhaoling and Yingyang counties, Wang Xu calculated slightly, and even smiled secretly in his heart, estimating that Cao Cao's strategic reserves hoarded in Yingchuan were over.

In addition, nearly 12,000 war horses were seized, in addition to more than 3,000 horses in the hands of He Man and He Yi and other Yellow Turbans, the remaining more than 8,000 horses were also snatched from Cao Cao, except for the part captured on the battlefield, the rest came from Zhaoling and Yingyang, and it is estimated that Cao Cao specially allocated them to Yingchuan and Runan for recruiting cavalry for training.

As for the weapons and armor, there are many more of them, copper, iron, and metal, all of which are strategic materials.

Of course, those wooden instruments that are not easy to take away. Large siege engines. It has long been burned by a fire. Food was also distributed to the people. Cao Cao will definitely not be able to take it back, if he wants to really stand firm in Yingchuan and Runan, in addition to normal tax collection in the future, he will definitely not dare to, and he will not strictly order the people to hand it over.

After all the inspections were completed, Wang Xu was already happy, and smiled at the generals: "Cao Mengde wanted to catch my big fish this time, but he lost his troops and lost his generals. I also lost so many strategic materials, I am afraid that I will be angry. ”

"I estimate that these materials were hoarded here, firstly, to prepare for the pacification of the Yellow Turbans, and secondly, to recruit soldiers and send troops along the Huai River to resist Yuan Shu after all the two places of Yingchuan and Runan were recovered. Now that it's all dedicated to me and others, we're really ashamed! ”

The generals were also in a good mood, listening to Wang Xu's ridicule, they all laughed heartily.

Wang Xu walked slowly with the generals. I thought about it as I watched the soldiers around me busily loading supplies. He continued: "This battle has been fruitful, and we can't disadvantage the meritorious soldiers!" ”

"I think so! All soldiers were rewarded on the basis of their original meritorious service, and the bereavement pension for the fallen soldiers was doubled. The Warriors, Sharpshooters, and Knights of the Great Axe pay the most, and each of them will receive an additional two months' salary! A few of you who are generals will also let go, arrange a little vacation for them, and allow them to be happy within the scope of Xiangyang City! ”

"Thank you, my lord!" The generals were very excited and thanked them in unison.

It's not that they need it themselves, but because this first expedition is their own elite troops, although they won the final victory, they fought very hard, which is to thank their brothers.

"Not necessarily!" Wang Xu waved his sleeves.

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers who were close around them had already heard it, and an uproar erupted with a "oh", and cheers came and went.

"Oh! Oh! Thank you, General Wang, thank you, General Wang! ”

"The general is mighty, the general is mighty!"

"Oh! The general is mighty and invincible! ”

The excitement was so palpable, almost jumping and screaming, and occasionally someone could be heard roaring: "I have to go to Cuizhuyuan and enjoy it for two days!" ”

Wang Xu looked at Lehe, and couldn't help but scold: "Hey! You boys, when you hear that you want a reward, you call me mighty, why didn't you listen to you if you don't reward money! And who said that he was going to Cuizhuyuan just now, he was a dog, he didn't leave some rewards for the family, all spent on the girl, and was careful to return to the barracks with soft feet, unable to withstand training, and was beaten by your general! ”

"Hahaha......" Wang Xu suddenly burst out foul language, having fun with the soldiers, so that the generals couldn't stop laughing.

The soldiers were even happier, most of them came and went in the wind and rain, and where they heard too much crepe things, they liked this kind of directness and wildness. When the words fell, a tall man came out of the crowd in an instant, patted the battle armor on his chest, and laughed loudly: "General Wang, look at our body, it's not a problem to be an ordinary girl, even if it's ten or eight, let's go back to the army, and we will still be violent!" ”

Wang Xu saw that it was wearing the armor of a Xiaoyaojin dead soldier, and immediately smiled: ", you General Zhang Liao don't dare to say such cruel words, come ten or eight girls, even if he Zhang Wenyuan has to lie down, not to mention you, if you can accomplish such a feat, you can run ten miles with the armor the next day, and I will give you a promotion!" ”

"The general's words are true!" The man really came to the spirit.

Zhang Liao couldn't hold back, this was his part, so much so that he was ridiculed by Wang Xu, which made the generals laugh more than once, and immediately said angrily: "Go back, there are still ten or eight, and you can hang three too!" ”

"Hahaha......"

"That's it, that's it!" There was a soldier next to him who washed up: "The last time you fucking went to Baihualou, a woman put you over, you are fierce in battle, the two long legs are very fierce, but the short legs are really a little soft, don't be embarrassed in front of the generals!" ”

The man was exposed, his face was immediately flushed, and he said angrily: "Xiwa, you are soft, you are soft!" There is a kind, let's compare? ”

The one named Xiwa was not to be outdone, and immediately glared back: "It's better than it, our kung fu is not as good as you, but this, hum!" We're short, but we're tough, no! Let's be a dead soldier, except for General Zhang Liao, we haven't seen it, but anything else, hum! Even Captain Liu, we are not afraid! ”

The bickering between the two made people laugh, and Zhang Jing also became temperamental, using the atmosphere to make fun of Zhang Liao. "Wen Yuan, that, that, how are you?"

Zhang Liao's face turned red in an instant, but he didn't know how to answer, so he immediately turned the spearhead to the two men. "Go back to work, and say another half-sentence, you two cancel all holidays!"

"Ahh General Zhang spares his life! ”

"Let's not talk about it. Work. Work! ”

The two were so frightened that they turned around and fled. As soon as the smoke slipped, it disappeared, and the other soldiers who surrounded him also ran away one after another, not daring to say more.

"Hahaha......" The generals still laughed, Wang Xu knew that he was embarrassed, but he couldn't help but say: "Wenyuan, in fact, your soldiers are good, brave and good at fighting." It's quite human! ”

Zhang Liao was not really angry, shook his head with a smile, and said a little abruptly: "They are really good, they are all first-class warriors in the world, the rough man just now was originally two brothers, born in Orion, and practiced martial arts very hard in the army. It's a pity that his brother died in this battle! ”

As he spoke, the generals also put away their smiling faces. Silence fell. Wang Xu sighed and asked, "Didn't I say that brothers are not allowed to fight?" ”

"They have four brothers and two sisters, so they are not restricted!" Zhang Liao replied.

"I see!" Wang Xu nodded with relief, looked at the soldiers who were busy again, and then took another step. "Let them go, after the war, they also need to vent, as long as they don't cause trouble."

"They know the military rules, and they won't break the rules!" Zhang Liao said confidently.

"Hmm!" Wang Xu nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned to look at Xu Sheng: "Wen Xiang, I originally wanted to take my personal guard knight on the expedition earlier, but I didn't plan to let you accompany you, and then I temporarily decided to let you lead the sharpshooter to accompany you, it seems that there is really no mistake!" This time the sharpshooter has made outstanding achievements, but it is also a loss of Yanzhòng, you have to appease them well, care more about them, and don't pay too much attention to training for the next period of time. ”

"The last general understands!" Xu Sheng replied.

The group looked around and was about to return to the barracks, but suddenly saw Ling Wanqing, who seemed to be asking the soldiers what they were inquiring about.

Wang Xu was puzzled, and took the lead in asking loudly: "Commander Ling!" What are you doing here? ”

"My lord?" Ling Wanqing turned around and saw Wang Xu, and immediately rushed over, saluted respectfully, and said, "Lord, Xiangyang is urgent!" ”

"Huh?" Wang Xu waited for a while, and when he saw that he didn't say anything directly, his brows couldn't help frowning. "Let's go, go to a secluded place and say!"

The group quickly turned to the secluded alley, and Ling Wanqing suddenly said urgently: "Back to the lord, the barbarians of Wudu County in Xiliang have attacked, united with a medium Qiang tribe, a small clan tribe, and sent more than 40,000 troops to attack Yangping Pass, threatening to avenge the last battle of burning Yangping Pass." ”

"Hanzhong Taishou Wei Yan ordered Zhonglang to leave Huo Du in Hanzhong, and he took his deputy general Bao Long, and personally led 20,000 troops to garrison Yangping Pass!"

With the words, Wang Xu's brows gradually relaxed, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, although the Wudu Qiang clan, barbarian clan and clan have strong combat effectiveness, they are not unified and subordinate, there is Yangping Guantian Danger, Wei Yan has enough troops in his hands, with his ability, he should be able to deal with it!" ”

"Lord!" Ling Wanqing immediately shook her head eagerly, and then said after being interrupted just now: "The danger is not here, just now I got the thousand-mile rush of the spy shadow from Chengdu at the same time, and the Yizhou side is abnormal, Wu Lan and Lei Tong led the army out of Chengdu and rushed to Baishui Pass, intending to join Yang Huai, I am afraid that they have the intention to seize Hanzhong!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Xu finally became a little anxious. "How many troops?"

"Thirty thousand!" Ling Wanqing was very sure.

"When?"

"Four days ago!"

All the generals were shocked, and Wang Xu's brain was also spinning in an instant, and he quickly said: "The spy has been passed on for three days, if Wu Lan and Lei Tong's army marches quickly, I am afraid they have already traveled more than four hundred miles." Quickly, quickly send an order to Xiangyang Zhao Yun and Zhou Zhi, and order the two of them to lead 10,000 Qinglong knights to immediately send reinforcements to Hanzhong. ”

"No!" Ling Wanqing responded, but did not leave immediately, but hurriedly said again: "Besides, the Wuling Barbarian Clan is rebellious!" ”

"Huh? You repeat? Where is the rebellion? Wang Xu asked in disbelief.

"Wuling Barbarians!" Ling Wanqing affirmed.

This time, Wang Xu couldn't stop being furious: "What's going on? The Wuling barbarians have been subjugated for many years, and have begun to mix with the Han people, and they also regularly send soldiers to our army every two years, how can they rebel? ”

"What about Liu Min? What does this barbarian governor eat? ”

The rebellion of the barbarians is not trivial, they are not more restrained than the armies of the princes, but will indulge in plundering and slaughtering the people. And Jingnan is the foundation of the place, after so many years of construction, it has finally become rich, and the population has gradually become denser.

Once the barbarians rise up, they will attack all over the country on a large scale, and even lead more barbarians to rebel, the consequences will be unimaginable, if they can't be stopped in time, I am afraid that Wuling will regress to the same state as seven or eight years ago, and even those who are strict can spread to Lingling, Changsha and other places, which Wang Xu absolutely cannot tolerate.

Ling Wanqing knew that the shape was urgent, and immediately continued: "Liu Min, the commander of Ningyuan County and the governor of the barbarian tribe, is currently leading troops to defend in Ningyuan County, and the rebel barbarians are attacking, because the shape of the shì over there is too chaotic, and the current number is unknown. ”

"Cousin Liu Min, Guiyang Taishou Jiang Wan has led 3,000 troops to Wuling to support, Wuling Taishou Liu Du sent 3,000 troops to Guanyang County, but the barbarians are strong, on the defensive, and the shape is in danger."

Wang Xu's face was cold, and he reprimanded angrily: "When did this happen? Why did even Jiang Wan from Guiyang send troops, but I only found out in the end? How long does it take for Wuling to run here quickly, I know very well! (To be continued......)
