The Great Han Frontier Chapter 136 Connecting Two Cities

(Zhuang is not lacking)

Chapter 136 connects the two cities

The fighting in the state and county, in a situation that bordered on a one-sided massacre, ended quickly. In this battle, the 1,000-phase gate army led by Huo Guang only paid a small price of seven dead and thirty-nine wounded, and recovered the prefecture and county, and killed more than 600 rebels and captured more than 300 people.

This ratio of casualties in the ancient war of hand-to-hand combat is simply a perfect victory that can be called a classic, and at the end of this battle, both the officers in the Qimen Army and the ordinary soldiers admired Huo Guang.

"Meet the king, the little Shangguan Ji has captured the thief king, please send the king." Huo Guang stood on the north city gate, and Shangguan Ji led a few soldiers to press the already tied Wang Meng onto the city tower.

In this battle, Shangguan Ji fought with one to ten, and finally under the siege of more than ten people, he killed these people one by one, and captured Wang Meng alive. It can be said that the two biggest points in this battle are Shangguan Ji, and if you talk about credit, he is also the greatest.

"Your name is Shangguan Ji, Benjun saw it just now, he performed well, and he has a lot of strength!" With a smile, Huo Guang looked at Shangguan Ji who was kneeling down to him and said.

"Thank you, the little one was the work of the dog and horse! As long as the king does not give up, the small one will charge into battle for the king and kill the thief without leaving a piece of armor. Shangguan Ji was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said loudly.

The historical Shangguan Ji was originally a good at seizing opportunities and deeply embracing Shangguan. Originally, this person had been mixed in the period gate army, and he had been unwilling, but then he finally had the opportunity to be valued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then his performance again and again was just in line with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's thoughts, so it was activated. Now that Shangguan Ji knows that Huo Guang is becoming more and more powerful, and his future is limitless, he naturally will not let go of this opportunity.

"Very good, for meritorious soldiers, this gentleman will reward meritorious deeds. Now I order you to cut off the head of the thief Wang Meng, and take it to hang it outside the state and county government to show the public. Huo Guang said with an approving look at Shangguan Ji.

"No." Shangguan Ji nodded excitedly in response, then stood up with a brush, and took the long knife handed by the soldier behind him. In Wang Meng's frightened shout, Shangguan Ji raised his knife and fell, and Wang Meng's head rolled to the ground.

Then Shangguan Chunfeng proudly held Wang Meng's head in one hand and walked in the direction of the county office. Huo Guang's expression and words just now showed that he had been deeply remembered by Huo Guang. What he is asking for now is to let Huo Guang appreciate him, and the other soldiers of the Period Gate also feel that Shangguan Ji has been appreciated by Huo Guang.

"Your Majesty, Shangguan Ji is a talent, why don't you keep him by your side?" Du Yannian said in front of Huo Guang in the county government. Now Du Yannian is definitely Huo Guang's confidant, even if he encounters talents, Du Yannian first thinks of recruiting for Huo Guang and strengthening Huo Guang's power.

"Talent is a talent, but this person's ambition is not small, and he is a sharp blade when used well, but there is also a danger of hurting himself. In the observation, this gentleman is free to intend to. Huo Guang said slowly, he really had the mind to get rid of Shangguan Huo Guang, but since he knew part of the history, Huo Guang naturally couldn't accept Shangguan so easily.

"What the king said is also true, but all mortals are arrogant. It's always right to be careful. Du Yannian nodded and said, he also felt that Huo Guang's words were very reasonable.

"Hehe, Brother Yannian is a rare talent in the world, it seems that I should be careful!" Huo Guang said jokingly, it is really impossible for ordinary people to say this directly, but the relationship between Huo Guang and Du Yannian is already extraordinary, and it is nothing to treat this as a joke.

The king laughed. The subordinates followed the adults before the weak crown, and in the eyes of outsiders, I Du Yannian already had a big Huo character written on my body, and the achievements of my subordinates in this life have been completely tied to the body of the king. Du Yannian also said with a smile, he was telling the truth. Now who doesn't know that Du Yannian is Huo Guang's right-hand man, it can be said that how high Huo Guang's grades are in the future can determine Du Yannian's height, so Du Yannian is also really assisting Huo Guang, which is actually fighting for himself.

"Now there is something that needs to be dealt with by Brother Yannian, those bandits who surrendered, should they kill or stay? Is it guilty or innocent? It's up to you to decide. However, I have an idea, if some of them are not too guilty, we will give them a chance, let them be incorporated into the Hanoi army led by Li Ling, and let them atone for their crimes, our current strength is still too small. ”

Huo Guang found something for Du Yannian to do, but this thing is really suitable for Du Yannian, because the entire Han Dynasty is familiar with the law, and it is estimated that few people can compare to Du Yannian. Moreover, Du Yannian's practice advocates leniency, and now that the people's livelihood in Hanoi is withered, it is no longer suitable for large-scale killing, so this is also the reason why Huo Guang brought Du Yannian to come.

"If the king orders, his subordinates will do it." Du Yannian didn't say much when he heard this, he already knew what Huo Guang meant, so he got up directly to deal with the captive.

Although Huo Guang successfully recovered the state and county, he couldn't leave immediately, because since the state and county have returned to control, then the county government and these institutions must be re-operated, who will be the state and county order? Who should fill the vacancies in the county governors? These are all things that Huo Guang has to deal with.

When Wang Meng's head was hung high, there were soldiers in the county seat of the state to spread the news that Anyang Jun had recovered the county. The people who had been closed for nearly half a month finally took to the streets, and considering that these people did not have much food, Huo Guang ordered the distribution of food rations to the residents of the city for a few days, and liquidated the property of these residents who had been robbed by Wang Meng.

Huo Guang's series of measures naturally won the support of the people, and in less than two days, the people of the prefecture and county gradually returned to normal. At this time, the chiefs of the pavilions belonging to the state and county were all summoned by Huo Guang to the state and county offices, and Huo Guang planned to select some officials from these people first, so that the state and county could operate normally first.

These people may not be suitable and may not be able to be qualified for the position of county commander and lieutenant, but the current situation is special, and Huo Guang does not have too many available people in his hands, and these pavilion chiefs are also grassroots cadres, after all, they have some work experience, and it should still be possible to fill the post at zero hour.

The so-called crisis, danger followed by opportunity, is very suitable for these people. A turmoil in Hanoi gave these pavilion chiefs the opportunity to become the head of a county, which these people would not have dared to think of in the past. Because Huo Guang didn't know anything about these people, he directly asked these people to negotiate and nominate a few people on their own, and then Huo Guang summoned these people to talk to each other alone, and directly appointed these people as state and county officials according to Huo Guang's impression.

This method is not necessarily the best, but it is definitely the best for the situation. Because these people are elected by themselves, it means that these people who are elected are outstanding in at least some aspects, and they should have a lot of connections and prestige, so there is no need to worry about being difficult to convince the public.

After this busy time, Huo Guang has been in the state and county for the fifth day. Every day in the past few days, Dongfang Shuo will report the latest situation to Huo Guang from Huaixian Kuaima, and it has been calm in the past few days, and those bandits have not come out of the city, looking like they have been holding on for a long time, but when an urgent report appeared in front of Huo Guang on the fifth day, the situation in Hanoi changed dramatically again.

It turned out to be on the third day of Huo Guang's recovery of Zhou County, that is, two days ago. The Taihang bandits returned to Anyang County again under the leadership of Bai Zheng, because the Anyang County Ya no longer existed, Bai Zheng effortlessly entered Anyang from the new, and because he did not disturb the people when he first captured Anyang, this time he was welcomed by the people in the city. And what is even more unexpected next is that Bai Zheng actually led his bandits to take down the two county towns of Longzheng County in one day.

When he got this urgent report, Huo Guang had to hurriedly arrange state and county affairs, and hurriedly returned to Huai County with the Qimen army. Huo Guang didn't expect such a thing to happen at this time, and it was the work of Bai Zheng, who had been hidden. He couldn't understand why he had ordered all counties to stick to the city, why did he let Bai Zheng easily connect two cities in one day?
