In the spring of March, the land of Chuzhou is already a warm wind blowing, the old branches and leaves that have fallen over the years have grown new green shoots, and the green grass stalks in the hills and fields have also turned over the earth and poked their heads out, looking up at the blue sky

Two successive spring rains, so that the air, full of fresh water, people can't help the greedy breath, Wancheng, after a tragic war, has begun to recover from the trauma, the people who fled from their homes have returned.

"Young master, now the people in the city are about to worship you as a god, your stories are circulating everywhere, and even some families have offered the tablet of the young master, it seems that the young master is sitting in Wancheng, it is the general trend, I am afraid that if you want to leave, the people will not let you!" Lu Shang stirred the tea leaves in the teacup and said with a smile.

"This time, I took out a lot of family funds, money, and food, if I can't get a few good words, then my marquis is really a failure, and the people think of me well, those wealthy families probably hate me to the bone!" Although Leng Zhuo said this, he smiled again and again.

The bloody battle in Wancheng can be described as a tragic and fierce comparison, because of the fierce confrontation between the two sides, resulting in the destruction of most of the buildings in the city, overlooking from mid-air, Wancheng is full of broken walls, and most of the unlucky people are ordinary people, although many people have saved the lives of the whole family, but the home that depends on the survival is destroyed in the war, which has to be rebuilt, I don't know how many people have been hated.

The government can't manage it, and it can't be managed if it wants to, it doesn't matter if it's a few families, but Wancheng has more than 100,000 homeless households this time, most of these people live in Nancheng, as well as the east and west cities, if it is rebuilt, how much gold and silver compensation will have to be paid?

The government can't control it, Leng Zhuo will not let go of this great opportunity to win people's hearts, although Leng Zhuo, the marquis, is loud on the ground in Chuzhou, but because of several battlefield prestige, in addition, it is the businessmen who spread the word of mouth, but for the majority of the people, Leng Zhuo's reputation is not very high.

Since Leng Zhuo has the intention to occupy the land of Chuzhou, it is natural to do what to win the hearts of the people, not only to do it, but also to do it big, war is destruction, it is trauma, and Leng Zhuo uses this opportunity to build his image among the people.

What's more, this is not a blind effort, Tongqi is also a good time for Leng Zhuo to firmly nail his foundation in Wancheng, the interests in Wancheng have long been carved up by the wealthy families, merchants, and officials in the city, and there is no destruction, Leng Zhuo wants to squeeze into Wancheng, I don't know how much effort it will take.

Therefore, after killing the remnants of the Tang Army, the day after returning to Wancheng, Leng Zhuo released a list of texts, in which Leng Zhuo promised to rebuild their homes for the people whose houses were destroyed in the war, and provide small interest-free loans for each family, and provide free rations of food during this period.

It can be said that as soon as this list came out, it spread all over the surrounding thousands of miles within three days, and a large number of people who escaped from Wancheng returned to Wancheng in doubt, but found that all these good things were true, and some things about Ping'an Hou were also artificially promoted, making Leng Zhuo a household name.

Leng Zhuo directly recruited Wei Zhilan Lu Chanyue, Nangong Yuhu and other women from the Weeping Blood Valley, and directly set up a Ping An Building as Mrs. Ping'an Hou, carried out overall planning for Wancheng, and built a unified people's workshop, and Leng Zhuo threw money and food like this, and even his wife was on the scene of the reconstruction wave "tide", which suddenly made the people of the city regard Leng Zhuo as a living Bodhisattva.

The effect is even better than expected, the people are simple, as long as they give some kindness, they will be grateful for a lifetime, and with this popular heart, Leng Zhuo avoids sitting on elite soldiers, and the imperial marquis can not go to the old forces of Bird Wan City, not to mention that in this old force, Leng Zhuo also pulled the two largest two on the chariot.

"These people are not enough to worry about, there are Zhao and Cheng families who are attached to the young master and take the lead, these people can only think about it in their hearts, and they don't have to conform to the general trend and public opinion of the young master, otherwise they will have no place in this city!"

"Well, the matter of Wancheng is also over, the later reconstruction and repair, although there are many involved, but there is no need for me to wait here to consume my energy, this Wancheng is guarded by the newly formed Wancheng Guard, it should be very safe, the Tang Army has also suffered such a heavy lesson, it should not be attacked in the division of troops, we should also go to Nanping County!"

"Are you leaving?" On the dining table, Wei Zhilan and other women sat around the table, this time the reconstruction of Wancheng involved a lot, almost half of the city had to be rebuilt, and there were undoubtedly benefits in it.

Although it is not completely broken with the Holy Sect, most of the trade in Chuzhou cannot be done, and a large number of wealthy families who have fled to the Valley of Weeping Blood are as many as cattle and hair, and the peace ticket number established by Leng Zhuo has also gathered an astronomical amount of deposits.

Post-war reconstruction is undoubtedly a good place to go, and it can digest a large number of refugees who are inescapable, so as not to cause a lot of incidents, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

"Well, there is nothing in Wancheng that requires me to be the master, you can do it when you see it, I still have nothing to doubt about your ability, the Suzaku Plain has already started fighting, I have to go over and sit in town!"

The girls nodded, they also knew that Chuzhou belonged to Suzaku, so the Vermilion Bird City could not afford to lose, otherwise the fall of Chuzhou was inevitable;" Then let Sister Wushuang go with you, there is always a good response!"

Long Wushuang's strength can be said to be the strongest among the women, under the condition of full firepower, even Leng Zhuo did not dare to touch it, the green dragon of the Long family is ever-changing, but it is not blown out, it is a family of the god of war.

At the beginning of March, after taking care of the affairs of Wancheng, Leng Zhuo led most of the people out of Dawan and entered the Suzaku Mansion, and six days later, he entered Nanping County safely, and then entered the hilly area where Nanping was located under the gaze of countless scouts.

In Nanping, a newly built large tower, if Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick stands in Nanpingcang, and standing on the top of this tower, you can completely overlook the entire Nanpingcang, as well as all the movements within a radius of 100 miles, in the daytime, any transfer of more than 1,000 people can not hide the eyes arranged here.

On the upper floor of the tower, there is a large command room, and on the ground in the middle, a large sand table that took two months to build is arranged here, and the whole sand table almost encompasses the Suzaku Plain, with hills in the north, Xiangshui in the west, Fujie in the east, and Vermilion Bird Mountain in the south.

The central location is the Vermilion Bird City, and the scattered surrounding towns, the general deployment of troops is all marked, the Tang Army is red, the Holy Sect is yellow, and the emperor is black, as for Leng Zhuo's soldiers and horses, they are marked with blue, four colors and "colors", representing the four forces fighting around the Vermilion Bird City.

"There are empty horses on the sand table here every day, and the scouts scattered out are constantly probing the latest news, and then arranged, it can be said that the entire battlefield is intuitively placed in front of you!" Walking on the wooden bridge above the sand table, overlooking the sand table below, all kinds of colors and dogs are staggered on it, which shows the fierceness of the battle that determines the fate of Chuzhou on the battlefield.

And Leng Zhuo also found that among the countless small wooden flags representing the strength of the army, among the countless red, black, and yellow small flags, there were also a few blue "colors"; Which generals are in these places!"

"In Fangcheng, it is Xu Da, Chang Yuchun is here, they have been holding Fangcheng for more than 20 days, the Tang army has surrounded here, two days ago, our air cavalry has brought back news from here, Fangcheng is now in charge of these two people, but the city is also heavily damaged in the early stage, and now there are seven thousand soldiers who can fight, but most of them are injured, the city has a large amount of grain and grass in the early stage, and the baggage should be able to support more than a year, the Tang army did not continue to attack Fangcheng after repeatedly hitting the wall, but sent a group of soldiers and horses to besiege it, and then continued to advance towards the Vermilion Bird City!"

"Jiaocheng, now it is a focus of tripartite contention, this is already the key point of defense in the inner circle of Suzaku City, there are three generals in Jiaocheng, Chen Qingzhi, Pang Juan and Di Qing, and now they are the deputy general of Jiaocheng to defend the city, on the defensive side, but Jiaocheng is facing the siege of the Tang Army and the Holy Sect Army, and the location here is important, so the strength invested by the two armies is very large, it is estimated that it will not be able to defend it!"

"Guancheng, now has entered the most tragic stage, our defender in the city is General Tian Dantian, in yesterday's report, this city has been breached, in the battle for the streets and alleys, the rout is these two days!"

"In addition, a few days ago, the flying cavalry scouts of our army contacted General Xue Rengui Xue here, but General Xue has no more than 100 soldiers in his hands at the moment, and he is cruising around the periphery, and his whereabouts are a little strange, so he has lost contact in the past few days!

"In addition, in Vermilion Bird City, there are three generals, Yang Yanzhao, Niu Gao, and Wei Xiaokuan, who are now in charge of part of the city defense in the east of Vermilion Bird City!"

"In addition to these ten generals, most of our generals have gathered in the south to close the position, during this period of time, there have been several battles with the Holy Sect Army, but the scale is not large, but with the capture of several towns in our north, we have cut off the passage with Vermilion Bird City, but the news from the city is still smooth!"

Leng Zhuo nodded, now in the south of the liquidation, almost gathered most of the hundred generals under Leng Zhuo's command, except for the early division and scattered the generals of other states, Leng Zhuo's generals are now divided into three major blocks, Xiangyang City, Yue Fei, Tan Daoji, Lu Xun, Gan Ning, Yang Zaixing, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Qi Jiguang, Yu Da Chief Generals.

In the southwest of Chu, Jialin, Jiuchuan Mansion, there are Qin Liangyu, Liang Hongyu, Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Qin Qiong, Han Baohu, Thorn Chi Gong, Shi Wansui Eight Generals, these eight generals are entrenched in Panlong City and the west of Jialin Mansion, entangled with the noble rebels.

The rest is Leng Zhuo's side, plus the ten newly called generals, there are almost forty or fifty generals gathered in Nanping, if you count the vicinity of Vermilion Bird City, it has reached about sixty, accounting for half of the hundred generals, it can be said that there are many famous generals, and the Battle of Vermilion Bird City is undoubtedly a huge war stage.
