Chapter 129 Ginger is old and spicy

"Great victory! Great victory! The king's army fought the bandit army in Xindu on the 27th. Our army won a great victory! Capturing the enemy chief Deng Ai alive!"

"Great victory! Great victory! King's Army won a complete victory!"

"The city capital! It's safe! The Han Dynasty! It's safe!"

On November 29, after deliberately suppressing the news for more than a day, the knights who won the victory entered from the Nine Gates of the City Capital at the same time. After a while, more than 100,000 residents of the entire city capital learned about the news of the victory of Xindu.

Although ordinary people in Shu Han were not very interested in the Shu Han regime, this did not include most of the residents in the city. After all, generally speaking, the residents of a country's capital have their own special feelings towards the country.

So, the atmosphere of silence and panic disappeared without a trace. The market that was just now depressed suddenly became noisy. The entire streets and alleys were filled with wild shouts such as "Long live!" and "Wan Sheng!". In various shops, especially wine shops, countless people rushed out from somewhere, filling them quickly.

"Huh~~~~ God blessed me, I finally came back without any danger."

The Xindu is only forty or fifty miles from the city capital, and the terrain is flat and there is no obstacle. However, this short distance is really a sweat and terrifying for the prefects of the five counties headed by Zhang Yu, the prefect of Shu County.

No, who is not very good at using more than 3,000 combat power to take such a road with more than 20,000 prisoners, especially when there are more than 2,000 elite veterans among these prisoners. Everyone is worried.

What makes people feel even more helpless is that although Xindu is too close to the city, especially the transportation between the two places is too convenient. Guan Yi knew that the news of the victory would not be covered for long. However, in order to buy time for the raid troops as much as possible, they still asked them to endure a day before they set off. At that time, Huo Yi and Guan Yi's two troops had left, and three thousand county soldiers sat around more than 20,000 prisoners for fear all night, and no one dared to close their eyes.

Fortunately, due to Zhang Yu and others' hard requests, and the cavalry was not very effective, so Guan Yi allocated all the more than 700 surviving cavalry of the Fuxing Army to them. With the greetings of these cavalry, there was no big trouble. When they set off early in the morning of the 29th, they were welcomed by the Yulin Army, the city capital, at the 9:00 am. Zhang Yu and others felt relieved at this time.

"Premier Zhang, all the prefects, have worked hard all the way. This battle was fought well! The prefects of the ten counties went to the national crisis and sacrificed their lives to attack the enemy's formation, which is enough to spread in history! Tong Jin congratulates you all!"

Zhang Yu and others had always had a blue-gray face, and they only felt a little bloody after hearing Zhang Tong's words. Zhang Yu bowed to Zhang Tong with relief: "Zi Chang, if you say that the rushing forward at that time was indeed very dangerous. But compared to this period of the journey, I would rather go to the rushing forward again..."

"Ah? Hahaha, I know what the prefects are saying. Please rest assured that all the Shangguans of the Shangshutai have begun to deal with these prisoners."

"It's good, it's good. The military situation is urgent. In order to prevent Wu Gou from invading, we will not enter the city. Let's go south to Niu Pi."

"Okay. The official has notified the fleet of Fuxingshe and Mi family to wait for the prefects in Niu Pi. After receiving the news the night before yesterday, he has sent people to transport a large amount of food, grass, weapons and armor to Niu Pi. After all, the prefects have gone there, they can board the ship immediately."

"Sheng, then I'll set off immediately. Zichang, there will be a date later!"

"People are taking care of themselves, there will be a time later!"

Speaking of which, Zhang Tong is the most tiring person in the city these days. He should keep an eye on the emperor and the princes, not do anything randomly, protect the families of the Guan family, Zhang family, Zhao family and other generals to fight, and beware of the Yizhou family in the city taking advantage of the situation and causing trouble... From the late night of the 26th, Guan Yi came out of the battle, and for more than two days, Zhang Tong had no time to doze for less than an hour, and his originally white and fat cheeks were narrower.

"The order was sent to the fourth and fifth divisions of the central Yulin to hand over the prisoners with friendly troops, and then they pushed the prisoners to the right division of Yulin in the west of the city to station the original military camp."

"Here!"

When Zhang Tong was nervously accepting prisoners outside the city, the Shu Han Shangshutai was also carrying out intense work.

"Okay! I won! Tomorrow, you are in the Spirit of Heaven and can rest in peace!"

"Gong Xi, please feel sorry for me."

As an old colleague who has been partnering with Zhuge Liang since his prime minister's mansion, Fan Jian just comforted Dong Jue gently and said no more words. It's nothing more, and the Shangshutai is really too busy.

"There are so many soldiers who have died, have their identities been identified? Have the pension been calculated?"

"Oh, Ziwei (Pang Hong), don't hurry to talk about the pension. The Nanzhong Corps went north, and most of the county soldiers of the seven counties in the Nanzhong were also heading north. Now the Nanzhong is unstable, and the Eastern Wu school has begun to be active in Nanzhong again. If it is not done well, it will be a large-scale rebellion. Meng Yan of Zhuti County has sent letters to the forefront! But he really can't send troops!"

"Well, I kept ten thousand Yulin before, mainly to prevent the Yizhou family in the capital from causing chaos. Now the news of our army's victory has dispersed, especially the scum Ma Miao apologized in the whole city. I believe those little girls dare not move for the time being, right? Why would you please transfer five thousand Yulin to the south?"

"No. Now the little girl in the city dares not move, but the prefect Zhang and the others took back more than 20,000 prisoners! There are few soldiers in the city, what should we do if these prisoners are in chaos on the spot?"

"Hey! I've really encountered a lot of things. In my opinion, Guan Zifeng shouldn't have the kindness of a woman in Xin. I'll kill all the soldiers while the army was still there? Well, it's not too late now. All these guys have entered the military camp and just close the gate..."

"Dongdongdongdongdong~~~" When Pang Hong made this murderous suggestion, the officials of the Shangshu Desk were speechless for a moment. A sudden sound of crutches knocking on the ground at the Shangshu Desk gate suddenly sounded.

"Ah? Mr. Zong? Why are you here?"

"Oh, Duke De Yan, how are you in good health?"

"Hmph! If I don't come, you Pang Ziwei will cause a big deal!"

Zong Yu, who was eighty years old and had been lying on the hospital bed for a long time, entered the Shangshu Deck with a cane, and slapped Pang Hong without saying a word: "Why did your father teach you a waste like you? Don't talk nonsense about killing prisoners or other nonsense. Don't say that you kill these prisoners. If I want to fight the Northern Expedition in the future, the soldiers of the pseudo-Western Wei will definitely resist the difficulties to the end. That is more than 20,000 strong! What a good supplement to the huge loss of national strength of my great man this time!"

"But Mr. Zong, these more than 20,000 are all foreigners..."

"Idiot! People with sixty little bits are so brainless. Guan Zifeng has already sent me a letter to tell me that these 20,000 prisoners will first send a thousand meetings to calm their hearts, and then ask them to choose their own bosses based on what they are. Later, in Shu County, Dongguanghan County, Jianwei County, Ba County, Ba County, and Ba County, etc., we will place a piece of food in each pavilion and allocate wasteland to them. Although our Han Dynasty has a small population, there are still hundreds of people in each pavilion. If these ten people go there, they are not familiar with the land and cannot make any money. But because of ten companions, they will not be overly bullied by the locals. If they have been placed like this for two or three years, will these people be Han people?"

"This method...good! But Mr. Zong, there is no money in the treasury!"

"I know, this money is produced by the Fuxing Society!"

"Ah? He has given 200 million yuan to the Yulin Army, so where can he have so much money?"

"You! You, you~~~ Why are you so stupid? Someone pays you to worry about for him. OK! Ziwei, leave this matter to you, and it will be done within three days. Get out of here! I don't want to see you as stupid as you are."

After driving Pang Hong away, Zong Yu let out a long sigh: "The next issue is the peace of Nanzhong. This matter is simple. I will draw the civil servants near Sanqiu, and each family will give three thousand coins. I asked them to wear the standard armor of my great soldiers and guide them to Nanzhong with one hundred Yulin troops. After going to the camp of the Nanzhong Corps, two thousand people sneaked out every night, and then continued to swagger in the next morning... At the same time, I promoted the news of the victory in Xindu..."

"It's amazing! Mr. Zong. This bluff is so wonderful."

"Oh, Mr. Zong, it turns out that there is an old man in the family who has a treasure."

"Uh, Mr. Zong, is this money also produced by the Fuxing Society?"

"Dongdong~~~Fan Changyuan, you stingy! This money, uh, of course, is from the Fuxing Society. Although that kid Guan Zifeng didn't talk about this, I still have some shame. This matter is decided like this! Zhang Zhongxing, are you okay?"

Now Zhang Shao, the general representative of Fuxing Society in the city capital, could only smile bitterly at this time: "Okay, it's just nine million yuan. Your Zong Lao's face is worth this price."

"Hmph, don't think that the old man is almost dead and his head is not going to turn around. You just want to block my mouth. Okay, don't pay for the next thing for Fuxing Society. Cough cough~~~"

After coughing for a while, Zong Yu finally breathed, spoke again: "The next issue is the issue of pensions for the fallen soldiers..."
