Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Outside the gate of the general's mansion, there was a dense crowd of people, these were the same people who had come to receive compensation.

Fortunately, Wang Cheng had already made arrangements in advance, and he specially asked the two teams of armor soldiers to maintain order, and put a few tables in the front yard, each of which had someone in charge of registration.

The number of people who were slaughtered in the county seat in the south has been counted yesterday, and what we have to do now is similar to what we need to do now.

The compensation is not placed here, but in the hall at the back of the courtyard, where there is also someone to check, which is the last step of the whole process.

These compensation money was actually originally for the families who were slaughtered, but it was robbed by Li Xiang's gang, and after the hundreds of forbidden army guards were destroyed, the money became ownerless.

Of course, Wang Cheng could take the money for his own use, but he felt that he could do more with it.

Popularity!

Since he has taken over Nanli, and now he is supervising all military affairs in the southwest, and he does not win the support and support of the people, how can he work quickly in Nanli County?

In order to win the hearts of the people, Wang Cheng prepared a lot, but something went wrong when it came to the end.

Eight relatives came out of one of the slain families to receive compensation, and what is even more strange is that these eight families did not know each other.

Moreover, there is not only one similar situation, and many relatives have popped up in the family of one person who was killed.

One said that he was the relative, the other said that they were, and several families quarreled over the compensation, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

"General, what should I do?"

Xu Yu and Li Xu, who were responsible for recording and distributing compensation, scratched their heads anxiously, they had been soldiers for so many years, and they were not as upset as they are today.

Wang Cheng looked at the group of people making a lot of noise, thought for a while, and said: "First take out all those who make trouble, and let the people in each village issue a certificate that can prove the kinship, and they can receive compensation, and as for the other fake people, they will all be locked up for me." ”

Xu Yu and Li Xu glanced at each other, thinking that this was a good way, Li was the head of a village, and no one knew the relatives of each family better than him.

Because it involves receiving compensation, the Lizheng in each village has basically arrived, after all, Nanli County is so big, and Lizheng also has relatives in the city.

With their appearance, many fake people were found at once, and Wang Cheng ordered people to arrest these fake people on the spot, and quickly stopped the chaos.

However, soon a new contradiction arose.

There are people who pretend to defraud the compensation, and of course there are real ones, and many of the destroyed families have several relatives.

Wang Cheng said: "I have already said in the morning that there can only be one family as a representative, and whoever registers first knows." ”

"However, they all said they were the first to arrive." Xu Yu twisted out the word "Sichuan" in his head.

Wang Cheng snorted coldly and said, "Since they want to stay here so much, then fulfill their wishes." ”

When Xu Yu heard this, his big face was full of doubts, what was his general thinking?

"That's it!"

Wang Cheng beckoned to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

The more Xu Yu listened, the brighter his eyes became, and his expression was constantly changing.

"That's it!"

Wang Cheng smiled and said to him again: "Go!" Say the same to others. ”

Xu Yu nodded, and then ran to several other people in charge of recording and talked.

Sure enough, a group of people who were still noisy and almost got into a fight quickly stopped.

Out of the General's Palace, the streets were full of people, and the queue to receive compensation was far away.

Those who received the compensation had already come to the homes of their relatives and began to perform sacrifices for their relatives in style.

Wang Cheng walked along the street to the Beida Camp of the Nanli garrison, where there are currently more than 2,400 soldiers, all of whom are under the command of Liu Xingze, the former commander of the Yang Wei Zhonglang, and have now been recovered by the captain Chengyi.

After that battle, nearly half of the 6,000 soldiers defending the city were killed or wounded, and most of the remaining half were recovered by Chengyi, and a small number of people were missing.

When Wang Cheng arrived, a group of soldiers were cleaning and tidying up in the camp.

On the same day, Li Xiang led those forbidden army guards to break through Nanli, and the camp was also damaged to varying degrees.

A large camp of four or five thousand people, covering a very large area, with hundreds of rooms, could not be repaired in a moment and a half.

Cheng Yi was dressed in red fish scale armor and commanded the soldiers with his voice in his voice.

After seeing Wang Cheng, he hurriedly ran over and saluted: "General! ”

Wang Cheng nodded and said: "Accommodation and food are the two major elements of leading a good soldier, eat well and sleep well, so that the soldiers have the energy to fight, and Cheng Lieutenant is worthy of being a veteran of the army for many years." ”

Cheng Yi smiled and touched the back of his head, and said, "Lao Cheng learned these from General Liu, isn't it just to eat our stomachs when we are soldiers." ”

At this point, he immediately remembered something, and said: "General, we have not lost the money from the defenders, but we just don't have enough food to eat." ”

Wang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! This time the brothers will not go hungry again. ”

Cheng Yi nodded, actually skeptical in his heart, because he had heard similar words more than once.

Wang Cheng naturally didn't know what the other party was thinking, so he said a few more words and left the camp.

Then, he went to Nandaying and met Zhang Han and his soldiers.

In fact, since the first battle that night, five or six hundred of the 2,000 cavalrymen have been killed or wounded, and now only more than 1,400 are intact.

The name of the Golden Sword Guard is really not boastful, even if it is surrounded by 2,000 people, and has the advantage of terrain, coupled with heavy weapons in the army such as iron arms and copper crossbows, there are still many casualties.

If it weren't for Wang Cheng's action in the end and crushing the morale of the Golden Sword Guard, even if the two thousand people could win, it would be a miserable victory.

Wang Cheng looked at the soldiers who were training and asked Zhang Han, "Is the food okay for the past two days?" ”

"Very good! I can see meat every day, which is better than ours in Wuping County, but I don't know how long it can last. Zhang Han nodded.

Wang Cheng said: "Don't worry about food, you won't be hungry." ”

Zhang Han nodded, and his reaction was almost exactly the same as Chengyi just now.

Wang Cheng thought to himself, the impression left by Nanli County to the world is about to be deeply rooted.

Thinking of this, he looked back at the outside of the camp, that person should be almost there.

When he left the southern camp, he had just reached the street, and a soldier ran towards him in a rage.

Wang Cheng stopped him and said, "Slow down!" What's so urgent? ”

The soldier pointed to the gate of the city, panting, and said, "General, there are a lot of people outside, and they ...... Say it's your old subordinate. ”

Wang Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly walked towards the city gate.

I saw that two or three thousand men and horses appeared outside the city, almost all of them were wearing battle armor, and they were mighty.

The leader was a man in his thirties, sitting on a horse, dressed in a blue robe and wearing a scribe's hat on his head, with a fair face.

As soon as he saw Wang Cheng appear, he quickly turned over and dismounted, trotted to Wang Cheng, and bowed: "I have seen the general in my humble position!" ”

Wang Cheng helped him up and said, "Mr. is polite!" ”

Who else could there be besides Liu Qingsheng?

Liu Qingsheng got up and congratulated: "Congratulations to your lordship for your humble position, and you have been promoted to a general since then." ”

"That's it! Just a miscellaneous general, there is still a long way to go in the future. Wang Cheng said.

Liu Qingsheng said: "My lord's words are wrong! General Breaker is by no means an ordinary general's honorific title, it carries the king's affirmation and high hopes for adults, and adults will definitely be reused in the future. ”

Wang Cheng actually knew these things in his heart, but now was not the time to talk about them, he looked at the group of soldiers behind Liu Qingsheng.

There were 3,000 people, so it was no wonder that the guards at the gate did not let them go immediately.

There are 3,000 people, if they are pretending to be like Li Xiang last time, wouldn't letting them in at will be another scene of that day.

Wang Cheng saw a lot of familiar figures in this group of soldiers, and said with a smile: "What are you doing with a bitter face? I'm afraid that Lao Tzu won't give you food! ”

Everyone saw that Wang Cheng was still the same as before, and he was no longer restrained at the moment.

"Haha! Adults remember us! ”

"! Your Excellency has been promoted to a general, but you're still our adult! ”

……

Wang Cheng looked at this group of brothers and said with a smile: "Lao Tzu has forgotten no one and can't forget you!" ”

"Yin Bo, Zhou Hang, Wu Dalong, you followed Lao Tzu when he was still a military horse, and you were the first group of people with Lao Tzu."

"Liu Zixiang, Wang Chenyu, you are General Zhu's baby bump, if you can come, General Zhu must be dripping blood in his heart!"

……

Seeing Wang Cheng call out their names one by one, everyone finally put their hearts in their stomachs.

In fact, many of them didn't want to come here, firstly, because the defenders of Nanli County were notoriously hungry, and secondly, they were worried that Wang Cheng would no longer value them after he had new subordinates.

"That's it! I won't talk nonsense with you! Let's go into town and have a good chat! ”

Wang Cheng waved his hand, and with the other hand, he held Liu Qingsheng and walked towards the city.

The three thousand people lined up in several long lines and entered the city, and immediately attracted the attention of all the people in the city.

For the three thousand extra strangers at this moment, they had doubts, worries, and a trace of fear in their hearts.

Liu Qingsheng and his entourage were also looking at them, they had just arrived in a new environment, and they would be curious.

The city was not as good as they thought, and many houses were burned to the ground.

"It seems that the battle was really tragic!"

Liu Qingsheng's heart was heavy, and suddenly, he noticed a few people wearing linen and filial piety on the ruins.

All of them were men, and they were all young, and the strange thing was that they didn't have much sadness on their faces.

"Sir, too?" Wang Cheng said.

Liu Qingsheng nodded and said, "My lord, these people are not like the families of those who were killed. ”

"They really aren't!"

Wang Cheng then explained their identities and told his true intentions again.

"It's a bit of a trick to do."
