Hearing Fan Ben's words, Wang Xuance's face became even more ugly.

He glared at Fan Ben with a gloomy expression, and asked directly, "What do you mean?" ”

Fan Ben also realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said: "No, it's not Wang General Jun, you, don't misunderstand." I mean it's just right that Li Xiong is not dead, and I want to catch up with him and avenge my father. ”

Seeing that Wang Xuance's expression was getting more and more wrong, Fan Ben simply closed his mouth.

Well, what do you say is like an explanation, it's too pale.

Looking at Wang Xuance again, he snorted dissatisfiedly, raised the hook and sickle spear, and led the crowd to pursue in the direction of Li Xiong's escape.

When Fan Ben saw it, he hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to catch up.

···

In Jiangzhou City, Yao Yu stood in Li Xiong's palace, he looked around at the golden splendor in the palace, and couldn't help sighing: "Li Xiong still dares to boast of loving the people like a son." It's just to occupy a state, and he also built a decent palace in Jiangzhou City. This is not the squeezing of people's power, what is it. ”

Wen Xu, who followed Yao Yu's side, said with a smile: "I can't say, it's Li Xiong who thinks that he is the Son of Heaven, and the pomp of the Son of Heaven can't be missing, right?" ”

Yao Yu shook his head: "Therefore, it is an illusion that he won the hearts of the people." The reason why the people of Shu supported him was more due to Fan Changsheng. He gave me an order, and he demolished the palace and distributed all the gold and silver in the palace to the people. ”

Wen continued to say yes.

Continuing to look ahead, Yao Yu asked again: "Has the aftermath work in the city been completed?" What are the losses of our army? ”

"Sun Senjun and Fu Yan are already counting, and they are expected to get the results soon."

"Well, that's fine. Also, don't forget to restrain the soldiers, don't go and harass the people. ”

"My lord, don't worry, the tradition in our army is to have nothing to do with Minqiu. Needless to say. ”

Wen Xule responded.

Yao Yu shook his head and smiled: "That's still going to be said." After all, we were all on the weak side in the earlier battles. Now, with a strong attack on Shudi, it is inevitable that some soldiers will be arrogant. In case it disturbs the people. Murder and arson. Isn't it a self-smashing signboard? Wen continued, Zhang Bang Anmin's piece will be handed over to you. ”

Wen Xu clasped his fists: "Yes, my lord." ”

In this way, Yao Yu entered Jiangzhou City and completely opened the passage to Shu.

In the evening, Sun Yifu and his wife found Yao Yuyu with the statistical data.

I have to say that Fu Yan's ability is indeed there, and it is not in vain that his grandfather Fu Yi values him so much.

Originally, if Sun Yi was asked to come, the statistics of the aftermath would have to wait until at least tomorrow.

But Fu Yan has the ability to never forget, and his work speed is much higher than Sun Yi.

The key people don't make mistakes.

This alone made Sun Yi greatly admired, and in front of Yao Yu, he kept saying good things about Fu Ling.

"Li Xiong's army of 80,000 men was excluded from the army that fled with Li Xiong and those who died in the city because of civil strife. The rest became prisoners of our army, and the number was about 59,000. The damage to our troops was minimal. In addition, there are 7 million silver coins and 1.4 million stones of grain in the grain depot in the city, and there is basically no consumption, and Jiangzhou City has already been taken down by us. ”

Fu Yan put his hands in front of him, bowed his head and reported respectfully.

Yao Yu nodded with satisfaction: "This lot of money and food was used by Li Xiong to deal with us, but unfortunately, he didn't expect that he would lose so quickly." It just happened to be cheaper for us and solved the problem of transporting grain and grass for our army. Pass on my order to let Jingzhou's logistics focus on transportation to Ah Bao's department. The mountains and highlands in the Shangyong area are dangerous, and the grain transshipment is more troublesome. We have the support of Jiangzhou money and grain. It's enough for us. ”

Sun Yi remembered at the same time, suddenly thought of something, and opened his mouth to say: "By the way, my lord, there is something I forgot to tell you." ”

"What?"

"That is, in order to deal with us, Li Xiong took a lot of food from the mouths of the people, and some of the people were hungry."

"Then send money and food subsidies to these people, and we only need to leave 400,000 stones. The rest of the millions of grain in Jiangzhou City were distributed to the people. ”

"Ah, will our army not be enough this time? And the people of Jiangzhou can't eat so much. ”

Yao Yu smiled: "From Jiangzhou to the extent, there are countless counties along the way, but it's not just Jiangzhou." What about Xuan Ce and Fan Ben? Why haven't you seen them come back? ”

"Well, I don't know. Maybe it's chasing Li Xiong. ”

Yao Yu: "···"

As a last resort, Yao Yu could only let the army repair in Jiangzhou first, and wait for news from Wang Xuance and Fan Ben while winning the hearts of the people.

Three days later, the two returned from the front, but neither of them was in a good mood.

Not for anything else, mainly because when the two of them chased to the Guanghan area, they were resisted by the defenders here.

Left behind in Guanghan was Li Xiong's confidant and loyal to Deng Dang.

Deng Dang defended Guanghan to the death, covered Li Xiong's withdrawal to Chengdu, and gave Wang Xuance and Fan Ben a head-on blow with 5,000 men.

Wang Xuance was notoriously brainless, Fan Ben was angry, and the two of them were defenseless, so that they suffered a loss, and it was hopeless to chase and kill Li Xiong, plus the dry food brought by the army was eaten, so they could only retreat back.

No, when he came back to see Yao Yu, Wang Xuance's face was still full of unhappiness, and he muttered: "This damn Deng Dang, I will kill him sooner or later!" ”

Yao Yu sighed and signaled Wang Xuance not to be angry: "Once Jiangzhou is lost, Li Xiong's main force will be almost wiped out. He has no possibility of turning the tables, what is a mere Deng Dang? Okay, degassing. ”

Under Yao Yu's almost child-like persuasion, Wang Xuance finally relented.

On the other hand, Fan Ben, Yao Yu pulled him all kinds of serious words, saying that it was because of his poor planning that he let Fan Changsheng die, and he was ashamed.

Fan Ben's resourcefulness was much worse than that of his father, Fan Changsheng.

Until now, he still thinks that Li Xiong killed his father because he discovered that his father and son secretly took refuge in Yao Yu.

He had never thought that this was Yao Yu's ploy.

No, Fan Ben knelt on the ground and wept blood, saying that he only begged Yao Yu to let him be the pioneer of Shu, and no matter what, he would take revenge.

Yao Yu couldn't stop nodding: "Don't worry, sir, I, Yao Yu, swear here that I will definitely capture Li Xiong alive, give Prime Minister Fan Cheng, and give an explanation to the people of Yizhou." However, before that, the army will need to repair for a few more days before it can start. ”

Yao Yu said everything about this, and Fan Ben couldn't find any other ideas except gratitude.

In this way, Yao Yu played the imperial court, posthumously presented Fan Ben as the Duke of Guiyi, posthumously presented the Taifu, and expressed Fan Ben as the middle of the imperial history, and conquered the Shu Protector. As for the nearly 60,000 troops who surrendered with Fan Ben and became prisoners, they were also selected by Yao Yu, leaving more than 10,000 elites, and the rest were all sent back to their hometowns and re-served the people.

Ten days later, Yao Yu's army was repaired, and tens of thousands of troops set off.
