At noon in Hongze Town, the sky was overcast, the sky was heavy with thick clouds, a cool breeze hit, and suddenly there was a heavy thunder, a lightning bolt fell, and the raindrops crackled and fell.

At this time, the two of them took shelter from the rain and leaned against a restaurant.

Both of them were very young, wearing gray wide-sleeved robes, neat and clean, and one of them said: "Childe, this shop is good, it's noon, how about we go in?"

The one who was called Childe was still younger, and said with a smile: "Okay!"

These two people are actually Wang Hongyi and Zhang Youzhi, Wang Hongyi saw that the downstairs was so lively and noisy, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "This is too messy, let's go upstairs!"

Running the hall shouted: "Objective, please go upstairs!"

Follow the hall upstairs, see the screens separated, there is a seat.

It seems that this business is good, upstairs and downstairs, people come and go, and the eight private seats upstairs are separated by screens, but they are talking and singing, and they are very lively.

When I arrived at the private seat, I ordered a few five or six dishes, and the speed of serving them was very fast, and within a few minutes, I came up with a large plate of steaming wine and food.

Zhang Youzhi looked left and right: "It's only been a few days, and this Hongze Mansion has resumed its liveliness!"

Saying that, he raised a glass to Wang Hongyi, Wang Hongyi smiled, ate a mouthful of food, and heard someone drinking and talking in the private room next door.

"I heard that now Du Dashuai has become the commander of the capital, isn't this a demotion?" someone lowered his voice, but still said in a very thick voice.

"It's a demotion, but it's still General Zhengwupin, this is to protect the Du family, so I gave Hongze County to General Yu Dingyuan. Someone replied: "General Dingyuan's number of soldiers here is 3,300, which is not a small number." ”

"What I said is that at that time, in this situation, if you don't come out to offer the city in the next day, General Dingyuan will only need a few days to capture Hongze City, but both sides will lose more, Du Shuai This is a wise move. ”

"General Dingyuan's subordinates are full of talents, you see, that General Fan, wherever the soldiers went, Jiuhuai County and Heping County immediately surrendered, led the troops to attack Dingyuan County, first broke the two counties, and then attacked the city, so that Dingyuan County was too guarded to surrender, hehe, now there are six counties in Dongyizhou, and four counties have fallen into the hands of this Dingyuan general. ”

These are all good words, Wang Hongyi was happy when he heard it.

A while ago, Wang Zhenjun set up camp, and in the early morning of the next day, Du Gongzhen personally went out of the city and was willing to surrender.

After getting the news of Du Gongzhen's surrender, Wang Hongyi was overjoyed, and he got a county and a general at the same time.

immediately said that Feng Du Gong was really a general.

Half a day later, the streets of the city were cleaned, the gates of Hongze City were opened, and the army entered and controlled the entire Hongze County, and they were busy repairing the city at the moment.

Three days later, all the corpses of the battle have been buried, at this time, Fan Liuhai with 1,200 soldiers, said that he surrendered Jiuhuai County and Heping County, got 600 soldiers, arrived at Dingyuan County, first broke two counties, and got 500 soldiers, and when he arrived in front of the city, there were more than 2,000 people, claiming to be the vanguard, the fox and the tiger, and even made Dingyuan County too guarded to surrender.

On the fifth day, Dingyuan County and Hongze County fell into his hands, and Wang Hong ordered again and again to promote the county commander Yu Zhao to be the Taishou of Dingyuan County, and promoted Hu Ce, the original court supervisor, to be the Taishou of Hongze County.

As for the following county orders, as well as the military system, they will be arranged one by one.

The army was pressed, and at this time, the four counties were basically pacified, and at this time, there was time to come out to take a breath, which can be regarded as the so-called micro-service private visit.

At this time, I heard another person say in a low voice: "Just talk about something, I heard that Wei Laoshuai is dying." ”

"It's not good, I can't stand up when I go back, I lie down and refuse to breathe, and the two sons below are still fighting for the position!"

"I'm just afraid that General Dingyuan will be cheaper. Someone said disdainfully.

"Speaking of which, I heard that the imperial court reprimanded General Dingyuan?"

"Hmph, what's the use of the small imperial court in the south now, what's the use of this holy decree, you can't find anyone who gives an edict. ”

"Shhhh "Some people feel uneasy, although the court is declining, but ordinary people still dare not speak ill of the court.

Wang Hongyi couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

After breaking Wei Cundong and capturing Dingyuan County, the land that had been baptized by war soon regained its vitality, and in the four counties, according to the order, the checkpoints were abolished, and merchants could circulate freely.

Yu Zhao and Hu Ce and others are experienced veteran officials, and they already have talent in governing the territory, and they are even more dedicated at this time.

In less than half a month, including Hongze County, the four counties have been pacified, and it cannot be said that they live and work in peace and contentment, but the peaceful scene is not inferior to that before the war.

The matter of this battle in Shudi was of course transmitted to Yanjing.

Wei Yue was silent when he heard it, and finally got the news, but it was the emperor.

The emperor was very helpless about the deliberate concealment of this matter by the court, and only ordered an order to reprimand the towns that participated in the war in Shu, and then returned to the inner court to continue to enjoy themselves.

But after this will arrived in Shu, it seemed to sink into the sea, and there was no sound, indeed, now I can't even find someone to give an edict.

The thirteen divisions in Wang Hongyi's hands, through the Song family and the hidden gate, began to spread to the counties of Shu.

After this victory, the Song family and the hidden door were even more active, in response to these battles, to promote the name of Wang Hongyi's wisdom and virtue, needless to say, after the victory over Wei Cundong, the discerning people could see Wang Hongyi's future, so the propaganda was particularly effective, and quickly spread throughout Shu.

The person who shouted just now is not necessarily not a pawn.

However, Wang Hongyi's army was indeed highly disciplined, and wherever it passed, it did not commit any offence against the people, won the love of the people, and had a new atmosphere.

The situation in the whole Shu region is even more chaotic, and there are people everywhere who are talking about this battle, scholars, children of nobles, restaurants and teahouses, gathering and arguing, although the follow-up battle situation cannot reach the ears of these people for a while, the previous situation is enough for them to discuss after tea and dinner.

Even the children of big clans or those in power who have a hostile position have to admit Wang Hongyi's ability.

Before the war, there were still voices saying that Wang Hongyi's current achievements were just stained with his father's shadow, and he was speechless at this time.

Of course, secretly, it's hard to say how many people grind steel teeth.

Listening to the person next to him no longer talking, Wang Hongyi and Zhang Youzhi looked at each other and smiled, and went down after eating.

When I went out, I came out of the warm restaurant, the rain hit my face, and my whole body was shaken and excited, and my spirit was lifted.

"Childe, this rain is still a little cold, wait a minute, I'll go buy an umbrella. Zhang Youzhi felt that a few raindrops fell on his face and neck, wiped his face, and said, striding towards a store not far away.

After a while, he took the umbrella again, Wang Hongyi smiled, and stood up.

The two walked silently in the rain, and at this time, it was almost May, and they were not afraid of the cold with an umbrella.

Looking at this dusty street beaten by the rain, Wang Hongyi said: "You will be the county commander for a while, and when Chengdu is defeated, I will call myself the Marquis of Wei, establish an official system, establish a center, and you can also be transferred, you are really indispensable." ”

Zhang Youzhi walked in this rainy world, he was also in a trance, and he didn't know where he was, this voice reminded him, knowing the changes in the world, he was already the commander of Zhengqipin County, and he was the mastermind of the young lord, and suddenly trembled and sobered up, thought about it, and said: "General Chen An dares to praise me so much, it really killed me...... Chengdu is no longer a problem, the lord waited a little longer, and when Wei Cundong died, he could take it immediately, and he had a solid foundation before. ”

"What you said is not wrong, there have been a lot of people who have taken refuge recently, some are still celebrities and the like, I have only one purpose, when I came out, I was just a team, so I wanted to be a celebrity, these celebrities, we have to start from the officials, of course, things are not absolute, for example, Dingyuan County is too shou to surrender, I can't dismiss his official, transferred to the fifth grade of the same post, and so on in the future, he will inevitably be an official of the prefect. ”

"But the purpose is set, the official is the chief of the three officials, close to the people, even this official doesn't want to be an official, he just wants to be a prestige, I really don't want it. Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi's voice was cold, but his tone was melancholy.

"What the lord said is right, only if he is in charge of civil affairs, or busy with government affairs, can he know what is going on, and when he becomes an official, he also has a foundation, and he is not fooled by the bottom. Zhang Youzhi sighed and said.

"That's right, that's it. Wang Hongyi suddenly stopped, only to see that not far away, a vacant lot, although it rained, the porridge shed set up was still open.

In the two counties of Wenyang and Changding, there are basically no displaced people, and they are all assigned to the counties and townships to compile household registration to reclaim wasteland, but this is not right, this is only the initial decision, most of the people who come to the porridge shed to eat are the wandering people who are wandering because of the war.

Wang Hongyi issued an order, not wanting to starve to death and freeze to death in his territory, so these homeless people can get a bowl of food to fill their bellies.

In terms of the resettlement of displaced people, Wang Hongyi is not blindly conniving.

At this time, it seemed that I saw a group of officials patrolling, and if it was a newcomer I didn't know, I would register immediately.

These displaced people can be said to have food, but in fact, every day, all counties and townships are arranging for the displaced people, registering them, and receiving them in batches to be cultivated, so that they can be self-sufficient.

If you don't want to work, you will take it down immediately after a few times and be reduced to slavery, which is already extremely benevolent and righteous, and no one can find fault with it.

At this time, the aroma of rice porridge was already in the air, and hundreds of homeless people were waiting in line, looking at the porridge shed with expectant eyes.

"Lord, this is your kindness!" Zhang Yuzhi also saw it, and said with a sigh: "There are thousands of people alive at once." ”

"Governing from a higher position is not a merit, but a duty. Wang Hongyi shook his head and said, on the top of the tripod, emitting an ethereal tripod sound, has expanded one level, and has become a four-grade tripod, twice as much white gas as usual, pouring into it, and being transformed into green qi.

It is still pale cyan, occupying two-thirds of the area of Xinding, but it has already doubled the luck of the previous one.

This was the result of the occupation of the four counties.
