"Yes! The lower officials know. I don't know what the general wants the subordinate to do? The lower officials must do it! Taishou didn't dare to look at Zhang Wuji, but lowered his head and replied resignedly.

"Oh! There are a total of three things that you can do, as long as Wang Taishou can do them all, then you are considered meritorious. First, you write an official letter asking the defenders of Yangping Pass to surrender to the besieging Ming army. The grain and grass in Yangpingguan depend on the supply of Hanzhong City, so I think this matter should not be difficult for you. ”

Wang Taishou replied, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult." ”

It certainly wasn't that hard for him. Because Zhao Qi led his troops to attack Yangping Pass. In order to defend Hanzhong, Taishou transferred most of his troops to Yangping to defend the city. Today's Yangping Pass is garrisoned by 30,000 troops.

The food and wages of these 30,000 horses were all supplied by Hanzhong City in the rear. And the food has to be delivered every seven days.

Now that Hanzhong has fallen, even if the defenders do not surrender and there is no supply of food and grass, they will not be able to last seven days before they are scattered.

Zhang Wuji saw that his state was better, and immediately talked about the second thing: "This second thing is to assist me in checking the treasury, now that this place is occupied by us, the treasury is rich and grain, and if there is no help from the Taishou Lord, then it will be very troublesome." ”

"Yes! Be! Be! That's as it should be! You're welcome! Wang Taishou saw that Zhang Wuji's attitude was always very kind, so he was not so afraid, and his attitude even became flattering.

Zhang Wuji looked at him like a chameleon and said with a smile: "As for this third thing, tomorrow you will set up hundreds of cauldrons and make some good food to reward the soldiers under my command." ”

"Yes! The subordinate officer obeyed the order. Wang Taishou replied.

After Zhang Wuji finished speaking, he stood up from Taishou's chair. Then he stretched.

He yawned and said, "Okay, there's nothing else to do, after the Taishou Lord finishes arranging, you can go back to sleep for a while." ”

Saying that, Zhang Wuji walked past him and went back to the inn to rest. Only Wang Taishou, who didn't react, was left, standing there alone.

And a lot happened that night, but it was as if nothing had happened.

Something happened. It was Zhang Wuji who occupied Hanzhong City. Then he planted his Ming banner on the head of the city.

Didn't happen. It is the livelihood of the local people that has not been affected in the slightest.

Everyone is also doing what they should do and what they are doing as usual. Moreover, the officers and soldiers guarding the city under Zhang Wuji's command also opened the city gate to the people on time, and conducted an inventory like the original city guards.

Even the people didn't know that there was a "battle to seize the city" last night, and the city had now changed hands. They all thought that the soldiers patrolling the streets were new to the guard.

But there are also differences, the only difference is that these soldiers are given money to eat and buy things. And not to mention that there is no difference, and some people are in a hurry to leave and give more money.

In this old era when soldiers are like grates and bandits are like combs, this can be regarded as a strange story for the ages. Even most of the traders did not dare to ask for the money given by these "military masters".

Zhang Wuji went out in the morning and saw with his own eyes that when a captain under his command bought baked cakes and gave money, not only did he not dare to ask for them, but he even thought that the other party was too little, and gave him a few more baked cakes. When Captain Wu forcibly stuffed the money, the vendor even knelt down and begged him not to give the money.

Seeing this interesting scene, Zhang Wuji was very pleased. That's what he wants to see. If everyone in the army under his command can abide by such discipline, then why worry about the world?

The people are going to eat pot pulp to welcome the king.

Zhang Wuji stood in front of the inn and watched this harmonious scene, and at this time, the deputy general led Wang Taishou to Zhang Wuji.

Both of them knelt on the ground, and the adjutant general said: "Your Majesty, news has come from the front line that Yangping Pass has been taken by our army. General Zhao is consolidating the captives and will be there later. ”

Zhang Wuji said happily: "Okay! After General Zhao enters the city, let him come to see me as soon as possible. ”

At this time, Wang Taishou also said: "The criminal official knocked on His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and the criminal official has sorted out all the household registration account books of the Rending Mansion Treasury in accordance with His Majesty's will, and asked His Majesty to take a look at it." ”

Saying that, Wang Taishou handed over the music he wrote to Zhang Wuji with both hands.

Yesterday, after Wang Taishou returned to his residence, he asked the soldiers guarding the Taishou Mansion, and at this time he knew that the person who called him to get up yesterday turned out to be "Mingzun Zhang Wuji".

Now Zhang Wuji's name is known to everyone, and everyone knows it. As the governor of a place, Wang Taishou naturally knew it.

Now he is sincerely committed to Zhang Wuji, instead of being forced by the pressure of life and death.

This is entirely because of Zhang Wuji's popularity among the Han people today. Nowadays, many Han officials are planning to take refuge in Zhang Wuji, but they hate that there is no way.

What is the pattern of this world, most people of insight can still see it. Everyone knows in their hearts that the Mongols are rabbits whose tails can't grow.

The Han landlords also began to prepare for their own way out. After all, people like Zhang Liangbi who don't know the current affairs are still in the minority in this world.

Take Li Siqi as an example, even if there is no woman in a yellow shirt as an intermediary to persuade him to surrender. As long as Zhang Wuji's troops are pressed and he fights a few beautiful victories, he will immediately surrender to Zhang Wuji.

After all, the ancestors of the Li family relied on "surrender" to preserve the wealth of generations.

At that time, the ancestors of the Li family surrendered to the Jin, and then defected to the Mongols. Now that Zhang Wuji is powerful, they will also surrender to Zhang Wuji.

And there is another thing that surprised this Taishou very much, that is, Zhang Wuji really did not touch his family and property.

Since ancient times, it has been common to slaughter and loot cities.

Last night, Wang Taishou was most worried about whether his beautiful daughter had been ruined by the chaos.

But when he went to visit his daughters, neither of them knew what had happened.

And not to mention his daughter, even the maids in his mansion, these soldiers didn't lift a finger.

The people in the house are not restricted from entering and leaving at all, but when they enter and exit, they are interrogated and checked.

How can such a benevolent gentleman not be convincing?

Zhang Wuji took these account books from Wang Taishou's hands, looked at them briefly, and then said: "Very good, since Lord Taishou has done it, then I will naturally not break my word." Although this city was brought into by me with my own troops. But you can also count it as a meritorious contribution to the city. ”

Zhang Wuji closed these account books, and then ordered: "Wang Ben listens to the seal!" ”

"The lower official is here!" Wang Ben immediately knelt down for Zhang Wuji in a bowful posture.

Zhang Wuji said: "I have appointed you as the Taishou of Hanzhong of the Ming Dynasty, and you are still in charge of the military and political affairs of Hanzhong City. ”

Hearing Zhang Wuji's words, Wang Ben couldn't even believe his ears. The deputy general reminded on the side: "Congratulations to Lord Wang, why don't you hurry up and thank you?" ”

At this time, Wang Ben woke up, and hurriedly kowtowed like garlic and said, "Weichen thanked Your Majesty Longen." Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”
