Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 83 Bodao
Lou Fa led two thousand soldiers, one thousand of whom were his original troops, and the other thousand were the Dongzhou soldiers assigned to him by Liu Zhang, which completed the number of soldiers he should have as a captain. Now he He arrived at the transit point of his trip.

He looked at the city in front of him where the Bo people once lived - Bodao County. Bodao County is located at the intersection of Jiangshui and Lushui, and is considered an important place.

However, although it is an important place, Bodao County is extremely small compared to Chengdu City, let alone broad.

The circumference of the city in Jidao County seems to be two or three miles, and the city wall is about three feet high. There are traces of chisels and axes on the city wall, as well as a few arrows with their tail feathers exposed and the arrows inserted into the city wall, indicating that Bo Dao The county is not peaceful enough.

Bodao County, which is located on the southern edge of Qianwei County and close to the Nanzhong area, seems to be attacked by Soyi from time to time.

"With the captain here, I can feel at ease. These days, news comes from Nanzhong from time to time. This city has fallen into the hands of the barbarians, and that city is holding on with all its strength. I am in danger of losing anything."

Guo Guo, the county magistrate of Bodao County, complimented Lou Fa who was wearing a military crown on his head, a long sword on his waist, and a military uniform.

These days really made him panic. As the county magistrate of Bodao County, which is close to the Nanzhong area, the kingdom could not sleep well and had no taste for food. He sent scouts everywhere every day to inquire about news around Bodao County, fearing that the barbarians would take advantage of him. Accidentally, he rushed to the foot of Bodao County.

Now Colonel Lou Falou came to Bodao with 2000 people in front of him, which finally made him feel relieved, and his tense expression was replaced by a relaxed smile.

A group of elders from Bodao County who followed the kingdom also paid compliments to Lou Fa one after another. The barbarians were wreaking havoc, which was very harmful to them. Lou Fa's arrival gave them reassurance.

"You don't have to be polite. I was ordered to come here and I have to protect the safety of Bodao County. This is my responsibility." Lou Fa did not lose himself in the compliments, but calmly addressed the people of Bodao County. He handed over his hand and replied, indicating that it was his duty to garrison Bo Road.

Wang Guo continued to greet him warmly: "The banquet has been set up in the city, and the captain is also invited to come into the city to have a drink."

Hearing this, Lou Fa shook his head, pointed to the soldiers who were setting up the camp, bowed his hands to the kingdom and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. It's just that the camp hasn't been set up yet. As a general, it doesn't look good for me to leave my soldiers behind."

"That's right, that's right. What the captain said is right." Wang Guo heard Lou Fa's words of refusal and was not unhappy. Instead, he felt more reassured about the safety of Bodao County.

The Captain Lou in front of him had Wu Qi's style of running the army. He shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. He did not abandon the soldiers setting up the camp and went to the city to drink. It was obvious that he was a good general.

Wang Guo then thought about it and came up with a compromise: "Since it is inconvenient for the captain, I will collect some meat and wine and send it to the captain and his soldiers to relieve the hardship of the long distance."

This time Lou Fa did not delay, he accepted with his hand and said: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

With the war coming soon, it would be a good thing for Lou Fa to let his men eat good food and maintain their strength.

As he had only received some military honors in countering the rebellion in Bajun, he was currently feeling a little depressed.

Among his friends, Gan Ning had the merit of killing Pu Chang, the leader of the Tao people before the battle, so he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant of the Assistant Han Dynasty. Shen Mi had the merit of killing Yang Ping, the head of the Yang family, although he had been promoted beforehand. He is a school captain, but with military merit, Shen Mi's position as a school captain is legitimate.

He was the only one who originally wanted to capture Liangping County, but who would have thought that Liangping County Magistrate Sheng Dao was actually in front of the battle anyway.

He didn't have any great achievements at this time, but he was awarded the position of school captain just like Shen Mi. Although he didn't show anything on the face, he always felt something was inappropriate in his heart.

So while Liu Zhang was taking care of things in Ba County, he took advantage of this gap and ran to the mountains near Jiangzhou City to shoot foxes repeatedly. He made a fox-white fur coat and gave it to his Ming Gong, hoping to express his feelings.At that time, Liu Zhang received the fox white fur, but his eyes were not at all on the fox white fur, which was worth thousands of gold. Instead, he held his hand and said to him: "Zi Chu's archery skills should be displayed on the battlefield, not on the battlefield." Shoot the animals. '

'Zhang is not an unknown person. With Zichu's martial arts skills, he will surely make meritorious deeds sooner or later. There is no need to work hard for such trivial matters. '

Then Liu Zhang personally poured wine for him and paid tribute to him.

Liu Zhang's words made him feel more and more indebted. He finally made a fox white fur and wanted to get some credit to supplement his appearance, but he didn't expect that the debt he owed was increasing.

During this expedition to Nanzhong, he attended generously and took the position of vanguard. He planned to make some meritorious deeds and make some achievements this time to repay his Ming Gong.

Without thinking too much, Lou Fa commanded his men to set up the camp. Although he had the assistance of Qu Chang, Tuen Chang and others, he still needed to go through some things. As a commander, he must understand the situation of the camp in detail. .

He did not lead his men to garrison in Bodao County. The city was small and it would be too crowded to bring 2000 people in. What's more, when his Ming Gong arrived in the near future, he would go south with his men.

Stationed outside Bodao City, it can form a horn with Bodao County, and it is also convenient for the public to leave at any time.
-
"A wise man is generous and benevolent, and there is no difference in the world." Wang Shang didn't know how many times he said this, and he admired Liu Zhang's virtue more and more.

Many times he was glad in his heart that he chose Liu Zhang as the pastor of Yizhou instead of Liu Hao, the elder third son of the family. Compared with Liu Hao, who looked exactly like his father, Liu Zhang was the better choice.

Here he couldn't help but think of Zhao Wei who was the first to recommend Liu Zhang. Although Zhao Wei had scales on his belly, he still seemed to have a sense of country. Knowing that Liu Zhang would be appointed as Yizhou Shepherd would be a good thing for Shu.

"Wang Qing, you don't have to be like this. Of course, it's better to kill less and more carefully when killing people alive." Liu Zhang was polite, and he was almost immune to Wang Shang's praise.

This meeting with Wang Shang was to discuss with him how to deal with the rebellious wealthy families in Bajun.

According to laws and regulations, as Liu Zhang was designated by the imperial court as a shepherd of Yizhou, the fact that the Bajun clan raised an army was a serious crime of rebellion. Those who conspired and rebelled would not only be executed, but also have three clans exterminated.

But Liu Zhang gave up on killing these rebellious three tribes, firstly to show his mercy, and secondly because the world was in chaos, and the population of one prince's subordinates was crucial.

The combined population of the big and small clans in Bajun was in the thousands, so it was too much to kill thousands of people at once.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhang added that he would not allow any trouble that should not be left behind.

"In spite of this, those who deserve to be killed must still be killed, otherwise it will not be enough to clarify the law. For example, those in the three families of Xie, Bai, and Yang who actually participated in the conspiracy, and those who confronted the officers and soldiers in Liangping, will all be executed."

"In addition, the remaining people were moved to Wenchuan County and separated according to distance, so that they did not have the opportunity to unite. They were divided into counties and farmed in each county. Future generations are not allowed to move unless ordered to do so."

"That's what it should be." Wang Shang agreed. Liu Zhang's treatment was already lenient enough, so he wouldn't say anything more.
