Chapter 62: Preparing to hit the upper valley
Han Zhong saw that Zhang Yan was so radical, maybe he was also from a mountain bandit, and he felt pity.
couldn't help but say, "You are wrong, you are very wrong, General Sun is not from a high background." ”
"Sheltering refugees, pacifying thieves, and purging the Yellow Turbans, isn't that a great event?"
"Today's Daijun and Zhuojun are all singing and dancing, all of which are due to General Sun's ability."
"And I used to be a Yellow Turban rebel, and now I have gained the trust of the owner and served as a lieutenant general in the army."
Zhang Yan already knew the identity of the person in front of him at this moment, "Could it be that you are General Sun Mingsun?" ”
Sun Ming nodded and said, "That's right, I am." ”
"All I said that you are harming the people, I don't dare to say how capable my Sun Ming is, but it's still okay to let the people in my station live."
Zhang Yan kowtowed again and again, and said with remorse on his face, "I don't know it's General Sun, you are a good official, I have heard of your deeds for a long time, I am really blind." ”
Sun Ming stopped him left and right, and it was not good to scold him anymore.
Sun Ming sat on the couch, rubbing his hand on his chin, he was thinking about what to do with this Zhang Yan.
"But if you can let so many people voluntarily follow you, you are also a capable person, I will give you a chance to be loyal to me."
"Of course, if you don't want to join the army, you can stay in Daijun and farm, how about it?"
Zhang Yan looked at Sun Ming with some hesitation, he didn't expect such a good thing.
Sun Ming thought he was suspicious, frowned and said, "Do you think I need to lie to you, when you return to Daijun, you can leave on your own, as long as you don't go up the mountain again." ”
"No, no, no, I am willing to be loyal to the general, and Zhang Yan is willing to be a pawn in the army."
Sun Ming waved his hand and asked people to remove his shackles, "You can do things under Jiangong, I have always been good at punishment and treat talents well, and I have wronged you as a pawn, be a centurion." ”
Zhang Yan was so moved that he knelt down again, and Sun Ming said that he would let Han Zhong take him down.
That night, Han Zhong brought two cans of wine and found Zhang Yan.
told him about Sun Ming's heroic achievements, starting from Zhuoxian, Zhang Yan was fascinated and successfully promoted to Sun Ming's fan brother.
The next day, Zhang Yan volunteered to go into the mountains to persuade the remaining Montenegrin troops to come down and surrender.
In fact, the people's requirements are really not high, as long as they can eat enough, they can't be satisfied in the troubled times.
But now it's different, with Sun Ming here, you can take them to Daijun to settle down.
Sure enough, within two days, Zhang Yan led the remaining more than 10,000 people and the leader Yang Feng down the mountain to surrender.
Sun Ming is already familiar with receiving displaced people.
When these thousands of people descended the mountain, a large amount of food was prepared for everyone to eat.
Only when the stomach is filled, others will be obedient.
Then divide the troops and let Zhao Yun lead the rebels who want to farm to Daijun.
Most of the Montenegrin army chose to go to Daijun to engage in farming, after all, fighting is not acceptable to everyone.
They will rebel only because they have no way to live.
Sun Ming led most of the army back to Zhuoxian to let the army rest and recuperate, and he also wanted to go home and rest.
Since he met Hou Yun, as soon as Sun Ming is free, that playful and lovely figure will appear in his heart.
As soon as he returned to Hidden Dragon Village, Sun Ming told the Li family about Hou Yun, and the Li family's reaction was also unexpectedly big.
"Junyi, since you also have the intention, then hurry up and give this matter away, mother, I am still waiting to hold my grandson."
Li was very happy to hear that his precious son actually wanted to marry a wife.
However, Sun Ming is not in a hurry to go, he still has something to do first, that is, to annex Shanggu County first.
The newly received mines in Guangyang County were abundant, and Sun Ming used them to create a lot of armor to make his army stronger.
He also secretly assembled a modern 'air force', using his modern ideas to offer to artisans.
A rough manned hot air balloon was made, and one balloon could carry about twenty people.
This was the final killer move, and he didn't intend to expose it right now.
Now that the three counties are in hand, the Shanggu County of Gongsun Chan is surrounded by himself.
Now that they have the strength to eat Gongsun Zhan, how can there be any reason not to eat the meat that is placed in their mouths, the more Sun Ming thinks about it, the more salivating he feels.
Sun Ming also struggled for a long time about the choice of taking Shanggu or Yuyang first, and finally chose Shanggu after many consultations with Sima Tong.
Sun Ming decided to go out in two ways, he led the army to attack from Guangyang, and Yu Lihe led his men and horses to attack from Guangning County.
The two heads attacked Shanggu at the same time, so that his grandson Chan couldn't take care of each other.
Sun Ming exchanged letters and negotiated this idea with Yu Li, who replied that he felt that it was feasible.
In the letter, he put forward two points of his own, the first of which is to ask for Hou Ran's support.
The second is to beware of Liu Yu's old ministry in Yuyang uniting with Gongsun Zan to do things behind his back.
Sun Ming listened to his words, Liu Yu had died of illness before, so he asked Sima Tong to carry ten catties of gold and a letter of appointment from Fangcheng County to go to Yuyang to find Liu He to make peace.
That Liu He was reluctant at first, after all, his father Liu Yu was also indirectly killed by Sun Ming.
Receiving that Sima Tong was coming as a lobbyist, Liu He directly arranged for their Liu family's disciples to be present together, and all of them wore swords.
Sima Tong stepped into the gate of Liu's Mansion with his head held high, and walked through the corridor to the main hall, at this time, there were more than a dozen people kneeling on both sides, and Liu He also knelt on the big seat in the front.
Sima Tong walked up to Liu He with no change in his expression, did not speak or salute, and stood there with his head held high.
Sima Tong had such an arrogant attitude, and many people present whispered when they saw this, and even put their hands on the hilt of their swords.
After a while, Liu He couldn't hold his breath anymore, and waved his hands under him to stop the sound.
opened his mouth and asked, "But then Sun Ming called you?" So what's going on? ”
Hearing the question, Sima Tong looked at eye level, and said indignantly, "Today, I came to save your life, not only did I not receive the gift of honor, but I also want to see the faces of the people in your room here." ”
When Liu He heard this, he was a little confused, "We are here, so we need you to save us?" ”
Sun Mingtong sneered, and looked directly at Liu He with his hands behind his back, "People have no immediate worries, they must have long-term concerns." ”
"My lord has decided to collect Yuyang a few days ago, and the essay has been written, ready to be reported to the imperial court, and then sentenced to a major crime of treason."
When everyone present heard this, their jaws were about to drop and they were in an uproar.
Liu He, who was helpless, could only wave his hands empty again to stop everyone.
Although he was also full of anger, he had to be calm, because Sun Ming's defection to the eunuch had long been known to the world.
Sima Tong smiled and continued, "The previous situation in Guangyang will only happen again, can you stop Liu He?" ”
"Fortunately, I won the trust of my father-in-law, and I temporarily suppressed the song."
"You say, did I save your life? Do you deserve your respect? ”
After thinking for a moment, Liu He got up and waved his hand to drive away the doorman.
Led Sima Tong into the couch and saluted, "Please save our lives, I know that I am not General Sun's opponent, I just want to have a way to live." ”
Sima Tong saw that Liu He's suit had softened, and his attitude suddenly softened.
"After all, Liu Jun is a relative of the country, as long as Liu Jun surrenders to my lord, he can be a guarantor, and he is not to blame for the past."
At this time, Sima Tong asked his entourage to bring the box in, and when it was opened, there was a letter on it, that is, a letter of appointment.
There are also ten standard gold cakes.
"My lord is also a person who loves talents, like he can mix a military priest to sacrifice wine here, is Liu Jun still afraid that he will not be reused?"
Liu He sighed, and finally made up his mind, "I am willing to obey General Sun's orders." ”
With Sima Tong's three-inch incorruptible tongue, plus that Liu He is still a little intelligent, he knows that he can't fight Sun Ming.
He agreed to Sima Tong and went to Fangcheng in Zhuo County to be the county order.
