Liu Zhang was not interested in watching Dian Wei perform the human windmill, and waved his hand to order Jia Zhe to be escorted off.
"Magistrate He, I wonder if you know anything about the defense arrangements in the surrounding counties?"
After Pi County surrendered, Liu Zhang no longer had to rush to find Jia Long for a decisive battle.
Now Liu Zhang can seize the time to occupy other counties in Shu County.
If a force surrounding Jia Long can be formed in the end, the momentum will be much stronger!
"Lord Zhou Mu, as far as I know, Jia Long placed all his 30,000 men in Pixian County, Chengdu and Guangdu. Jia Long's original intention was to use Pixian County to guard the northern city of Shu County."
"Now the three roads of Shu County north of Pi County, Mianwu Road, Wenjiang Road, and Jiandi Road, as well as the three counties in the north, Guangrou, Canling, and Fanxian are all undefended. Master Zhou Mu can send a partial division to the north.
When the army arrives, all counties will surrender."
He didn't expect that He Zong's surrender would directly have such a big impact, which really made Liu Zhang overjoyed.
"If we follow what County Magistrate He said, we can pacify more than half of the cities in Shu County!"
Just when Liu Zhang was happy, He Zong gave him a big gift again.
"That's not all."
"Master Zhou Mu can go south from Pixian County and raid Jiangyuan. Once Jiangyuan succeeds, it will be enough to frighten Ren Qi who is stationed in Wuyang County, Jianwei County. When the time comes, Master Zhou Mu will be stationed in Jiangyuan and send a partial division to conquer Linqiong."
"At that time, Jia Long, the governor of Shu County, will only have Chengdu and Guangdu left, and they will be destroyed in a matter of seconds!"
Liu Zhang couldn't help but look at He Zong in front of him again, but he didn't expect that he had already thought out his own marching route to occupy Shu County.
"I never thought that Magistrate He has such a great talent, I admire... I admire him!"
He Zong first bowed his hands to express his gratitude, and then became humble again.
"Lord Zhou Mu is too polite. All this is Jia Long's own fault. Over the years, Jia Long forcibly recruited soldiers in Shu County, but all of them were buried in Guanghan County. Now that Zhang Lu has been destroyed and the war has reached Shu County, he can't even protect himself.
All the strength is gone. It can be said that it is self-inflicted!"
Liu Zhang nodded. Judging from He Zong's tone, Jia Long was quite angry in Shu County.
After chatting with He Zong and others for another quarter of an hour, Gao Shun led the people out of the city.
"Lord, what is the situation in the city like the magistrate said?"
"Um!"
Gao Shun is extremely careful in his work. With his confirmation, it must be absolutely foolproof!
"Lord Zhou Mu, please go into the city and rest for a while."
Liu Zhang raised his head and looked at the sky, then asked He Zong.
"He County Magistrate, how many miles is Jiangyuan from here?"
"Within less than a hundred miles, if we travel day and night, we can suddenly reach the gates of Jiangyuan Castle in one day."
He Zong immediately understood what Liu Zhang meant. Liu Zhang must have wanted to recruit troops quickly.
Pixian County to Jiangyuan are on the Chengdu Plain, and the roads are wide and easy to walk.
If Liu Zhang is determined and hurried, he will definitely be able to reach Jiangyuan City before dawn tomorrow.
"He County Magistrate, Mr. Ren An is now in charge of Zhizhong, and your senior brother Du Wei is now in charge of Zhizhong. I heard that Mr. Ren An misses you a lot. I wonder if you would like to be in Zhijiu, and go to help."
Mr. Ren An?”
The premise of Liu Zhang's urgent march was to ensure the safety of the rear. Once Pixian rebelled, his army's food routes might be cut off! Liu Zhang absolutely could not do such a stupid thing.
If He Zong refused and insisted on being his magistrate of Pixian County, then Liu Zhang would have to be more careful.
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"
He Zong looked happy and agreed directly without any hesitation.
"Okay! Then I will promote you to the position of wine worshiper. I will temporarily lead the soldiers and horses of Pixian County to follow me south. After the Shu County is pacified, I will go to Mianzhu."
"As you command!"
Judging from He Zong's reaction, he is determined to have an official career, and he has probably already had enough of the position of county magistrate.
"Mr. He is a highly respected man, can you temporarily take over the post of county magistrate? I will be grateful to you when Shu County is pacified!"
He Judun felt flattered and quickly bowed his hands to Liu Zhang.
"Thanks to Lord Zhou Mu for his respect, I will definitely do my best!"
Liu Zhang helped He Ju up and nodded happily.
With He Zong staying by his side and the soldiers and horses from Pixian County taking him away, there will definitely be no problem now.
"Where is Pan Feng?"
Pan Feng stepped forward directly and obeyed the order.
"Pan Feng, divide a thousand soldiers under your command to assist Magistrate He in garrisoning Pixian County."
"As you command!"
"In addition, lead the rest of the soldiers to go north immediately, giving priority to recapture Fanxian, Guangrou, and Canling. If the magistrates of the three counties surrender in surrender, they will still retain the position of magistrate."
"If the recovery of the three counties goes smoothly, we can advance to Mianwu Road, Wenjiang Road, and Jiandi Road."
"Remember, soldiers must be strictly restrained in this battle. They must not invade the people, let alone plunder property. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
From now on, Liu Zhang could completely regard the people of Shu County as his people.
Jia Long had completely lost the hearts of the people in Shu County. Liu Zhang was determined to seize this opportunity and spread his kindness image deeply into Shu County.
This time it was not just about capturing Shu County, but also winning over the people of Shu County.
"The general will obey your orders!"
Pan Feng accepted the military order with a solemn expression and gave Liu Zhang a reassuring look.
Liu Zhang also smiled and patted Pan Feng on the shoulder to encourage him.
After risking his life to rescue him in Langzhong City, Liu Zhang trusted Pan Feng more and developed the idea of nurturing him.
There is no difficulty in conquering the counties in Beishan this time, but it is also a rare opportunity to train Pan Feng.
Today's Pan Feng has indeed changed, and the change has been great. He is no longer the reckless man with a big axe.
Under Pan Feng's command, the five thousand soldiers moved quickly and quickly separated one thousand soldiers.
After Pan Feng handed over the soldiers to Gao Shun, he immediately led his four thousand troops northward.
"He Zheng, gather your troops and horses as soon as possible. I will be waiting for you outside the city."
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhou Mu, and you will come back as soon as you go down!"
He Zonghe Ju and everyone in the He family bowed to Liu Zhang and then returned to the city.
"Gao Shun."
"The end is here!"
"Pan Feng, please arrange for these thousand soldiers to be stationed in Pixian County. Remember, they must not disturb the people. Anyone who disobeys the order will be subject to military law!"
"As you command!"
Everything was arranged, and Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation is very good now. As long as nothing happens, Shu County will be under control!
"My lord brought He Zong with him, not just to guard against the He family in Pixian County, right?"
Liu Zhang had just sat on the ground to rest for a while, when Huang Quan came over and looked at Liu Zhang with some deepness.
"Yes, He Zong's surrender was also a shock to other counties. Pixian County, which holds 5,000 people, has surrendered. Is there any need for other counties to resist?"
Liu Zhang chuckled and nodded, showing a proud look.
According to his prediction, there will be no resistance from Jiangyuan and Linqiong, and now the only enemies of Shu County are Chengdu and Guangdu!
