Wang Zihuan led the army into Hezhou City, and from him, the faces of all the Yuzhou generals were full of amazement and disbelief.

This is really too unexpected for each of them, His Majesty the Emperor really took only one battalion of 5,000 people to take down the second largest city in southern Sichuan guarded by the five tribes of Cangxiong?

Even if he knew that the barbarians were not good at attacking and defending the city, such a result and such efficiency still made people feel that everything was so unreal.

If the defenders of Yuzhou are allowed to attack, let alone 5,000 people, it is 50,000, and 150,000 troops will attack fiercely, I am afraid that they will not want to take Hezhou for a year and a half.

Under the command of His Majesty the Emperor, this army of 5,000 people in the Japanese battalion in March took Hezhou, which had tens of thousands of defenders. What a strong combat power and execution power this must be......

So when he came to the Taishou Mansion and saw several generals come out to greet him, he didn't dare to slack off at all, hurriedly turned over and fell off the horse, and stepped forward to salute: "The eldest prince, General Chen, you are really brave soldiers, and you really make the last general deeply admired!" ”

Looking at Wang Zihuan, who bent down deeply and saluted, Xiao Keding laughed, hurriedly took two steps forward, and supported the person: "General Wang's words are serious, we just act on the orders of Your Majesty, but we dare not call merit......

"Yes, if there is no leadership from Your Majesty, I am afraid that we will still lead the army to look outside and sigh." Chen Qingyun also sighed, so he stepped forward to salute the other party, and then introduced Wang Zihuan and several generals into the door.

Sun Ning met these Yuzhou generals in the lobby, and he smiled and was quite polite: "I came to Hezhou this time, but I worked hard for General Wang and the soldiers." You're going to be stationed here, and you just have to ask for anything. ”

"The ministers don't dare to call it hard in front of Your Majesty, they just rush for a few days." Wang Zihuan said obediently, with a restrained and admired look.

If before, these middle-level generals in Yuzhou only had rigid respect for the emperor who fled from the Central Plains because of his identity, then now, they are really convinced: "The ministers only listen to His Majesty's will, and no matter what they ask the ministers and soldiers to do, they will definitely do their best." ”

"It's very good that your arrival has really relieved my urgent need. To tell you the truth, the city is in ruins now, and a large number of people are needed for patrol and defense, and it is really not enough to rely on the manpower of the Japanese camp. Next, many miscellaneous matters of the city defense will be handed over to General Wang to arrange. ”

Sun Ning was not polite, and even ordered: "If you bring 15,000 men and horses this time, you will first divide 5,000 people and defend the city with the 3,000 barbarians who have surrendered to the imperial court." Remember, now these barbarians are also my Dayue people, and we must not have conflicts because of old grievances. ”

"The minister will order, and the minister must restrain the people below."

"Also, send more elite and credible people to guard the granary and armory in the city, and count the number of materials stored in the city as soon as possible, without any deviation."

With more than 10,000 people at his disposal, Sun Ning can free his hands and feet to rectify all kinds of affairs in the city: "There is also to send more scouts and send them out to inquire about the changes in the outside world, especially the reactions of the barbarians in other departments, and they must be reported in time and must not be delayed." ”

One order after another was conveyed, and the newly arrived Wang Zihuan did not dare to shirk it, and all agreed to it one by one.

He also knew that the combat power of the troops and horses under his command was far from being comparable to the elite of the Japanese battalion, and they had to rely on them to defeat the enemy, so many trivial matters in the city naturally had to fall on them.

Seeing that he deserved to be decisive, Sun Ning also showed a satisfied smile: "Also, hurry up and send a message to Yuzhou, let Dingxi Hou send the officials who govern the place to Hezhou as soon as possible, and then persuade the people of Hezhou who are still in Yuzhou to return to their hometowns...... Now there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Hezhou, and there are very few people, which is not what the imperial court wants to see. ”

If a city wants to be truly controlled by the government, in addition to a large number of soldiers and horses, more people living here are fundamental.

Those barbarians didn't understand this truth, and only garrisoned here, but their clansmen still stayed in the mountain village because of their habits, which was the key to Sun Ning's ability to easily break the enemy and capture the city with only 5,000 people.

But now that Hezhou is in the hands of the imperial court, Sun Ning naturally can't make the same mistake again, and he must have to do everything possible to let the people fill the city.

Wang Zihuan immediately responded: "Your Majesty, rest assured, when the minister set off, the Hou Ye had already explained that if Hezhou could really be captured, he would immediately arrange for the people to come to Yuzhou." ”

The hundreds of thousands of people in Yuzhou have already become a burden on the local government, and Xiao Changyong has also relied on his original family foundation to survive in the past two years.

Now that he can divert the people, he naturally can't ask for it, and he will act according to Sun Ning's wishes.

"Very good, you and others are all my ministers of Dayue, and I still have a lot of things to do for you to do."

Sun Ning's statement made Wang Zihuan even more happy, and even claimed that it was.

Then seeing that the emperor seemed to be very happy, he also plucked up the courage to ask: "Your Majesty, have the five bears been destroyed by our army, and do they still need to send troops to wipe out their remnants?" ”

Sun Ning glanced at him, and then said slowly: "I won't hide it from you, in fact, the defenders here in Hezhou are only a small part of the Cangxiong Fifth Division, and their real main force is still on the mountain."

"But you don't have to worry too much about Hezhou and the people coming to Hezhou being attacked, because I have already sent elite soldiers to set up an ambush early in the morning, and as long as they dare to come out, they will definitely be defeated!"

"Ah......" Wang Zihuan couldn't help but let out a low breath, only then did he know that the enemy in Hezhou had not been completely resolved, which made him suddenly a little uneasy.

"Why, don't you believe me?" Sun Ning asked with a slight smile.

"No...... Don't dare, the minister is just worried that there will be trouble. After all, those barbarians are most familiar with the mountains and forests, and once they retreat again, it will be difficult to deal with. ”

"They can't retreat, they're just a group of rabble who live on weekday hunting, and how can they be my opponents for the elite of the Japanese camp!" Sun Ning said disapprerovingly, looking confident.

Although Wang Zihuan said yes again and again, he inevitably muttered in his heart, and all kinds of excitement and joy after knowing that Hezhou was taken by the army a few days ago and entering the city also faded.

If this really allows the enemy to counterattack back, with the little soldiers and horses he brought, he really can't hold Hezhou.

You must know that at the beginning, Hezhou was also guarded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but it was taken by the Cangxiong Five Divisions in one fell swoop.

Sun Ning didn't say much anymore, waved his hand to let him step back and do what he wanted, after all, some things are more powerful to speak with facts.

And just when Wang Ziheng saluted again and was about to withdraw, Xiao Keding strode over outside the hall, his face full of unconcealable ecstasy: "Your Majesty, the front line is a great victory......

Tonight is the birthday of the elders, so it's late...
