Chapter 1188: The Heart of the People

As soon as Wang Xuan ran, the army's morale was disheartened, Gan Zhuo wanted to fight to the death, and his generals could only send their necks to his knife and persuaded bitterly: "The general is afraid of death, and he really doesn't know why to fight to the death." ”

Gan Zhuo said: "The general fights to the death, this is the proper righteousness, and there is no need to ask the reason." ”

"But general, we are the Jin people, and the people who are attacking the city outside are also Jin generals, and even surnamed Wang," the general said sadly and indignantly: "Whether he is fighting for the country or for personal revenge, how innocent the sergeants are, if the children of his Wang family are not afraid of death and rush to the forefront, it will be fine, but he has run away, why do we still have to fight to the death?" ”

"Does the city that is guarded like this belong to the Jin Kingdom, the King of Langya, or the Wang Family?" The general burst into tears, "Look at these sergeants who were injured and killed by the explosion, they all have parents, wives and children, why should they work hard for him?" ”

Gan Zhuo came back to his senses, his eyes regained his composure, and the people at the head of the city barely repelled a cloud ladder attack, but because of Wang Xuan's escape, he didn't care about it, and the Zhao family army below had already pushed the siege vehicle to the city tower and was hitting the city gate.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Kaecheng, surrender!" ”

The general breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked people to lower their flags and surrender.

Wang Xuan was dumbfounded, but quickly came back to his senses, left some soldiers and horses outside the city to respond, and he led people into the city to receive and surrender.

Could it be that his second uncle finally recognized the status quo and turned his back on Wang Dun to join them?

Then as soon as he entered the city, he learned that the general who surrendered was called Gan Zhuo, and his second uncle had already abandoned the city and fled.

Wang Xuan's chest rose and fell in anger, and his teeth were about to be crushed.

When Wang Xuan did this, it was not only himself who was embarrassed, but also the entire Wang clan, even if it was the opposite, Wang Xuan felt embarrassed.

Wang Hui can fight to the death, or even surrender, how can he abandon the city and flee?

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms have been fighting, and it is normal to surrender and change the master, even if there is contempt, there are not many, but it is taboo to escape from the battle.

Wang Xuan squeezed out a smile and faced Gan Zhuo, and stepped on his cousin back and forth seven or eight times in his heart, and stepped on Wang Dun by the way, what kind of vision is this?

Emphasizing the use of clansmen for personal reasons, regardless of whether their talents are competent, is not only harming the soldiers and the people, but also harming themselves.

Wang Xuan took this as a warning and made up his mind in his heart that in the future, unless the clansmen were indeed quite talented, he would definitely not recommend them indiscriminately.

Zhao Jiajun received the weapons of the Yangzhou army and began to count the number of people, because of the talent of the main general, they have not fought very fiercely in the past half a month, and they have been surrendered, and Zhao Jiajun is very friendly to the Yangzhou army.

When the Yangzhou army heard that after the number of people was counted, they would be assigned to Tuntian, and if there were disabled and elderly, they could even take money to return to their hometowns, and they would all obediently report their names and ages.

Most people report their age a few years more, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen is eager to report that he is thirty-seven.

Half of this part of the Yangzhou army came from Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which Wang Dun brought down when he went south, and the remaining half was the displaced people and forcibly recruited people from all over Yangzhou to recruit them

Because they live in the army, they don't feel deeply about the change of customs except for a little discomfort in the climate, but they still can't help but feel homesick when they are far away from their hometown.

In particular, except for some generals who can move south with their families, the vast majority of soldiers follow the south one by one, and their families are all in Jiangbei.

I heard that Zhao Hanzhang is very good to the people, and he has exempted a lot of taxes this year, I wonder if their families have survived the war last year, if they can survive, they should also be allocated to the fields, and there should be food for the winter this year, right?

Thinking of this, a soldier who was about to line up covered his chest, and as soon as he arrived at the table, he leaned against the table with a weak face and said: "I was shocked to my heart and lungs by the earth-shattering thunder, and I was so uncomfortable that I was afraid that I would not be able to be a soldier." ”

When Zhao Jiajun, who did statistics for them, heard this, he immediately dropped his pen and stepped forward to support him, "Have you vomited blood?" Can you have bloating? Where does it hurt? ”

He hurriedly called someone to carry the stretcher, "Send it to the medical tent quickly." ”

The earth-shaking thunder will explode internal injuries, they found out when they fought with the Huns, some people did not blow up at all, they looked uninjured on the surface, and they were lying on the ground, but the impact was too great, and they could shake people's internal organs and bleed, and the soldiers discussed it privately, thinking that it was related to the gas at the time of the explosion.

When the little soldier saw that they were really carrying a stretcher over, he was about to carry him away, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of the big soldier, and looked pained: "I feel useless, don't waste medicinal materials for me, I just want to see my family alive again, do you want to let me go?" ”

When the soldier heard this, he looked him up and down, and reached out to press his chest, "Where does it hurt?" Does it hurt here, or is it here? ”

Seeing that although he was screaming, he didn't have much pain, so he reached out and patted him on the head, "Stinky boy, your abacus beads have hit me in the face, and let me go, look at your whole arms and legs, young man, go to training, where are you?" ”

The little soldier was dumbfounded, and said anxiously: "Don't big brother, I, I can farm, I want to go to Tuntian, I can farm, don't put me in the training camp." ”

Zhao Jiajun will select able-bodied, relatively strong and young soldiers to enter the training camp for training, and the rest will go to Tuntian or be released.

The soldier distinguished his accent and raised his eyebrows: "Are you from Qingzhou?" ”

Seeing that his pen was stained with ink, the soldier could only nod silently, and the soldier patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, enter the training camp, and then you can use the military post to write a letter to your family, if you are lucky, maybe you can be transferred back to Qingzhou, there are more opportunities than Tuntian." ”

Counting the troops, Wang Xuan also led people to quickly take over the county government of Wangcai County, the county order did not run, and the officials inside were all there.

Wang Xuan adheres to Zhao Hanzhang's consistent approach, unless the officials are doing evil and the people's voice is extremely poor, they will continue to use each other, focusing on stability.

After checking, he learned that the county order of Wangcai County was not up or down, and the official reputation was okay, so he continued to let him be the county commander, and asked him to send the government officials to patrol in two shifts, "To prevent hooligans and thieves from harassing the people, if there are rebels intruding on the people, immediately send people to the Yazhong for help, and I will leave two teams of soldiers here to help maintain order." ”

Two teams, that is, 200 people, are enough for this small county town with only eighteen officials.

In order not to panic the people, he did not directly let the soldiers inspect the streets, but just pulled out the remaining "Wang" flag on the city tower and replaced it with the "Zhao" flag, while the Jin flag next to it kept fluttering, but it had to be replaced.

In the evening, people began to appear on the streets that had been quiet, and the people walked out of their homes one after another, staring curiously at Zhao Jiajun, who occasionally passed by.

The soldiers passing by occasionally glanced at him curiously, and then he looked back at him with a serious face, and even his steps were a little more standard.

The people whispered, "It's really the same as rumored, and they didn't enter the house to loot." ”

"If you meet someone on the road, you won't hit people, you will rob people."

After watching the excitement for a while, they found that Zhao Jiajun really did not offend the people, so they happily went to each other, carrying water, cooking rice, and some people went to the vegetable field to pull vegetables, and found that the vegetables at home were eaten by the chickens next door, and immediately stood on the edge of the vegetable garden with their waists and scolded their neighbors.

Gan Zhuo passed by, couldn't help but stop, listened for a while, he turned his head and said to the general: "If she really has the heart for the throne, the country should change the world." ”
