Before the expedition, Wang Zheng personally took the stage and once again led thousands of people in the Heavenly Army to recall the past and look forward to the future. When the emotions of the soldiers were fully aroused, they then began to discuss their merits and reward them.
Property, food, and land were all spared, which immediately boosted the morale of the entire army.
Before dawn on the third day, he got up, rushed to the city gate, and personally escorted Xu Fang and others out of the city.
There was no other way. Even though the troops were divided when they attacked Kaiyang last time, Wang Zheng was also included. This was the first time since the uprising that he was sitting in the rear.
However, he also knows that if he wants to aspire to the top of the Wanli Shenzhou, he needs to have thousands of talents and generals. If he doesn't let his subordinates experience and grow at this time, how will they be able to stand alone in the future?
Under the misty sky, the cold morning wind stirred up countless flags and flags, rustling and fluttering, and black torrents came out of the four gates at the same time, majestically along the official road in the city, stirring up dust all over the sky, instigated by the passionate drumbeats.
In the middle, they marched in formation in a majestic manner.
As a base, Pengcheng cannot afford to lose anything. In order to prevent potential enemies from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack, Wang Zheng, Xu Fang and others agreed that depending on the length of the journey, all four cities must be captured within ten days and return immediately.
If you really encounter that the city guards are tenacious, you need to report back in advance, and even if it happens, it will be delayed to half a month at most;
If there are other unexpected events, such as reinforcements, enemy attacks, etc., it will depend on the situation and the priority will always be to preserve one's own strength.
Of course, the most important thing is not to disturb the public!
It was not enough to send everyone out of the city. Wang Zheng, who was in a state of excitement, climbed to the top of the city and looked around.
Several groups of people began to walk far away, wandering between different mountains, wheat fields, rivers, and official roads, like a long snake, winding toward the front.
With such a majestic military appearance, for the first time, Wang Zheng's heart was not filled with pride, but inexplicable concerns emerged in his mind...
It’s just a psychological effect!
He comforted himself, Wang Zheng, you are no longer an ordinary otaku in this life. You can no longer have such a mentality of fighting for the common people!
But why do I still feel so uneasy?
Just like every time I saw those text messages indicating insufficient balance in my previous life...
He turned around and looked inside the city again.
The large city of nearly 100,000 people has now returned to some of its former bustle and bustle. The streets and alleys are full of people coming and going, and there is a constant flow of people. Even though there are five or six thousand fewer people, there is almost no change.
"The Tianzhu camp is divided into three posts, which rotate every four hours."
After watching for a while, Wang Zheng turned to Wu Yuan and said: "Scatter them around outside the city, the farther away the better."
As the first six people who were given the promotion quota by him, Gao Xiong guarded the North Yunting of Langya, Lu De stayed in Xiao County, Yuzhou, and Xu Fang, Wu Sheng, Wu Niu and other three people also went on the expedition this time.
outer.
At this time, the only third-level soldier beside Wang Zheng was Wu Yuan, which he was not used to.
However, it is foreseeable that such situations will only increase as his power expands.
Is this what is called a loner?
Secretly sighing, Wang Zheng warned Wu Yuan: "By the way, in Xiao County, you must keep in communication with Lu De and let me know immediately if anything happens."
"Here!"
After Wu Yuan received the order, he was about to go and do it. At this moment, Zhang Zhao walked up to the top of the city in no hurry. He first saluted Wang Zheng and then stroked his beard and said: "General, everyone in Pengcheng has heard that
The army is on an expedition, and each of them has prepared some gifts that he wants to send."
"Then accept it." Wang Zheng nodded and said casually.
"Well..." Zhang Zhao reminded: "Now that I have received the gift, I should be received by Yu Li..."
"It's just that the general is busy with his affairs." Wang Zheng cut off his words directly and neatly: "I accepted the gift, I accepted it with my heart, and I have no time for the time being!"
He was too lazy to talk to these people anymore.
What's more, Wang Zheng also guessed that when they met last time, these people acted like they were avoiding him for fear of not being able to catch up with him. Now, if they actively ask for a meeting, what good things can come out of it?
Are you regretting it again and thinking about begging for mercy and using sweet words to talk about the land that was just handed over?
It's so naive that it's hilarious!
However, this also reminded him that the movement of the army out of the city could not be hidden from these people. In his eyes, his own troops were now reduced, so he should not let them have any objections.
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng said to Wu Yuan: "During this period, the city gates are closed. It is forbidden to go out and write letters."
Then he pointed at Zhang Zhao and said: "Take the brothers from the 600 Tianzhu Camp and let Zhang Guoxiang take you to identify our high-level courtyards in Pengcheng. I remember that there are more than thirty of them, right?"
Zhang Zhao nodded helplessly.
"That's good." Wang Zheng smiled: "Leave two or so people in the family for good protection. It's easy to get epidemics in spring, so don't go out and walk around, and don't interact with each other!"
"Here!"
...
Once Xu Fang left, only he and Zhang Zhao were responsible for all the chores.
When the city was destroyed, the walls of the inner and outer cities were greatly damaged. These stumbling blocks that were hated before have now become the biggest support. They had been repairing them before, and Wang Zheng continued to keep a close eye on them, and by the way, he was also in front of the people of Pengcheng.
Show your face and look familiar.
In order to win people's hearts, he not only paid attention to efficiency, but also let many old and weak women and children go home, leaving only the able-bodied young people, and let the soldiers left behind in the city take turns to participate in the construction of the city.
The military and civilians are in harmony with each other, and they will grow better if they work together.
At the same time, they continued to carry out small-scale drills. The previous school ground was damaged after the siege of the city. Before it could be repaired, Wang Zheng chose a flat place outside the city, with capable veterans as instructors and hundreds of troops as units.
Recognize flags and drums, teach some sticks, fists and kicks, and simple formations.
Even the cavalry patrolling Pengcheng, Wang Zheng also required them to practice mounted archery under rotation.
After all the busy work, the day passed by in such a hurry, and it was not until late at night that Wang Zheng returned to the county with his soldiers.
Dark clouds were gathering, and the dim moonlight made it difficult to see the road at night. The soldiers lit up torches, and the rising flames illuminated Wang Zheng's energetic face.
He rose with the sun and returned after stepping on the moon. He never rested for a moment, but his energy was still very strong and his fighting spirit was high.
He likes his current life, and even enjoys it very much.
Even though supplies are scarce, food and clothing are not as good as in the previous life, and there is no computer or mobile phone that I would not want to leave for a moment, as well as the greatest pleasure I had, eating wontons and mist.
But Wang Zheng still likes it.
Because every day is fulfilling, he has clear goals and is fighting for himself.
Only in this life can we truly live three hundred and sixty-five days a year instead of repeating one day three hundred and sixty-five times.
When I rushed to the gate of the county mansion, I saw a middle-aged man standing there, as if he had been waiting for a while.
"You are..." Wang Zheng jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the soldiers, and said with some uncertainty: "Guo Yi, Mr. Guo?"
"It's just that I have a good memory, General." Guo Yi trotted up, groveling, with a flattering look on his face: "General, I have something to report..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Zheng waved his hand to cut it off and asked directly: "But it's important?"
"This..." Guo Yi didn't know what to say.
That's not the case. Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. Guo, I remember that you were appointed as Prime Minister Zhang's adjutant that day, right?"
"Yes, now..."
"That's it." Wang Zheng said calmly: "Mr. Guo, if it's not an urgent matter in the future, go ahead and report it to Zhang Zhao. He will make it clear to me. Don't report beyond the level!"
Reporting beyond the next level?
The unfamiliar vocabulary made Guo Yi startled. When he regained consciousness, he wanted to speak again, but he saw Wang Zheng's figure had disappeared inside the door.
Hey, don't go.
He was anxious and was about to step forward to follow up, but was stopped by a few soldiers. He wanted to say more, but was pushed out by them.
...
After entering the pavilion, Wang Zheng was not yet sleepy. After thinking for a while, he went to the study room, found a few books, and began to read the official script that still gave him a headache.
The sound of light footsteps came, as if someone was coming in, but Wang Zheng didn't pay attention and didn't even raise his head.
There are many maids in the house. Although it stands to reason that he has warned them not to enter without being summoned, he is in a good mood today and is too lazy to get angry immediately.
With a soft voice, it seemed that the maid brought some food and tea. Wang Zheng just said casually, "Put it down first," and ignored her.
While he was reading, he was thinking about Chou Mo. Although he noticed that the maid had not left, he didn't take it to heart.
It took a while.
Wang Zhengcai spoke again, breaking the silence in the room.
"I remember that there is a volume of military tablets on the shelf, which is on the top floor." He ordered, "Go and bring it to me."
"yes."
Humming like a mosquito, the maid obeyed the order and walked over.
After a while, there was a muffled bang.
what's the situation?
Wang Zheng looked around in surprise, finally raised his head, and glanced at the scattered utensil racks. He couldn't help but sigh and felt helpless: "How can I even hold a book..."
He said half the words, but changed the subject.
Looking at the delicate figure lying on the ground, his tone was full of surprise: "Who are you?"
