I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 99 The three counties of Longyou have surrendered
The next day, Zhao Jun arrived in Ji County in person and offered Zhao Ling's head.

Zhao Ling's eyes were closed, his face facing up, as pale as paper, his neck was smooth, and the blood had solidified.

Zhao Jun said respectfully: "I present the head. Mr. Li, please take a look."

Li Heng waved his hand, and others put away Zhao Ling's head and sent it out.

Zhao Jun glanced around without leaving a trace. There were only himself and the young man in front of him.

Is it true, as Zhao Xiang said, that such an important matter should be discussed with the young man in front of me?

"Mr. Zhao understands justice well and I admire him." Li Heng looked at Zhao Jun and said calmly.

Zhao Jun reacted and said quickly: "It is a great honor for us to serve the great man."

He had 1 regrets in his heart. He regretted that he had been blinded by interests in the first place and had let the situation reach this point.

Li Heng suddenly said: "Don't regret it, Mr. Zhao. The most important thing now is to save your life."

"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Li. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness."

"It's too early to say anything. Are you ready for what I said?"

"Ready." Zhao Jun took it out immediately. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had no other choice at the moment.

It is the household register of Zhaojiawu Fort, the account book of the horse farm, and the Zhao family's field register.

Men, fields and horses, these three are what the Han army on the Guanzhong front line needs most.

"Li Gong, although we have hundreds of years of foundation, our family's money and goods..."

"Keep the money and goods for yourself."

Zhao Jun was overjoyed, and just as he was about to say thank you, Li Heng continued: "The Zhao family moved to Ji County."

"Does Mr. Li want us to give up our ancestral home?"

"I'm not asking you to give up. They are worried if you continue to live in Qinwu Fort. What if someone misunderstands one night, gets distracted and leads troops to Qinwu Fort? The situation will be unmanageable. Can you bear the consequences?"

Zhao Jun began to sweat again on his forehead.

"I am thinking about you." Li Heng continued, "After all, the Zhao family has a great foundation and a large number of talents. It is the time for the Han Dynasty to employ people. Don't you want someone in your family to serve as an official in the court?"

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "What Mr. Li said is absolutely true. Thank you very much for the introduction."

"Send someone to Guanzhong to get the paper."

"Now?"

"Yes."

"Does the Prime Minister have any objections?"

"I will tell the Prime Minister that you don't have to worry about other things."

Hearing this, Zhao Jun became even more curious about Li Heng.

It seems that this young man is a celebrity around Zhuge Liang?
Why haven't I heard of such a famous person beside Zhuge Liang before?
But if he didn't have the weight to speak, he would never sit in this position and talk to himself.

"Thank you, Mr. Li. If you have anything to do with Mr. Li in the future, please just give me your instructions. I will do my best."

Li Heng said kindly: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Zhao understands justice. Please give me your advice in the future."

After chatting about some other things, Zhao Jun hurriedly left.

He went to ask to see Wei Yan, but was told that Wei Yan had important matters and it was not convenient to see him.

Zhao Jun had no choice but to leave.

After a while, Li Heng went over to find Wei Yan, who was looking at the map of Tianshui County.

Wei Yan's thoughts were all about war. Wouldn't it be difficult for him to discuss interests with Zhao Jun?

Li Heng said to Wei Yan: "The Prime Minister ordered me to deal with the Zhao family as appropriate. I have already informed the Prime Minister, so there is no need to worry, general."

"You can just deal with these things." Wei Yan said casually.

Obviously, he has little interest in these.

Wei Chang asked: "Military advisor, we have taken over Tianshui County. What are your suggestions for the next step?"

"Send people to Guangwei County, Nan'an County and Longxi County to persuade them to surrender. They say that Tianshui County has surrendered, Lu Zhi has surrendered to the Han, Zhao Yu and Zhao Jun have both surrendered to the Han and been awarded important official positions." "What if they are unwilling to surrender? "

"They must have known that Sima Yi's main force is not in a good position to fight, and those who are unwilling to surrender are only a small number. If anyone is unwilling to surrender, the army will kill them and quickly solve this problem."

Wei Chang laughed, and he liked this military advisor more and more: "Using that goose chariot to attack the city will indeed get twice the result with half the effort!"

"By the way, what should we do with Lu Zhi?" Wei Chang asked, "Do we need to send someone to the Prime Minister?"

Wei Yan looked at Li Heng again, obviously waiting for Li Heng to answer this question.

"He must be dissatisfied. Let him stay here for a while first and let him see with his own eyes how our army recaptured Longyou. When his temper is over, I will see him." Li Heng said, "This man can be regarded as one of the outstanding men. Sir, if you can serve my great man, it will be a good thing."

Wei Yan nodded and said, "I only care about fighting, you make the arrangements."

"Here."

A few days later, news of the fall of Tianshui County reached Guangwei County and Nan'an County, and the prefects of the two counties were shocked.

On March 29, the Han army in Ji County received a letter of surrender from Chen Xi, the governor of Guangwei County.

On March [-], another letter of surrender was received from Zhang Yuan, the governor of Nan'an County.

The surrender of Guangwei County was expected, and the surrender of Nan'an County was a surprise.

Why do you say that?

Huan Dao County, the seat of Nan'an County, is very close to Xiangwu, the seat of Longxi County. If Longxi County does not surrender like it did during the first Northern Expedition, the Han army can immediately station troops in Huan Dao County to launch an attack on Xiangwu. The use of troops.

On the first day of April, Long You's report was quickly sent to Zhuge Liang's case.

The success of the battle in Longyou counties exceeded everyone's expectations.

Fei Yi said: "I didn't expect that Zhao would give up Buqu."

Huo Yi smiled even more happily and said: "Not only did I give up my troops, I also handed over my fields and moved to Ji County."

"The most important thing is the war horses. This time we have obtained [-] war horses!" Zhuge Liang was overjoyed. "In this way, we can also form cavalry that are good at fighting!"

This is what Zhuge Liang has always wanted.

And Longyou definitely has more than [-] war horses, let alone thousands of Zhao's poems.

In the five counties of Longyou, if we unite with the Xiqiang, we can raise at least [-] troops for the battlefield.

At this time, Zhuge Liang realized the essence of Li Heng's strategy.

Mobilize these troops and horses to Guanzhong, and then recruit another batch from Guanzhong, and the Han army will really have 20 people.

He deployed 20 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong to force Cao Wei to increase his troops, and then continued to write letters to Sun Quan.

Zhuge Liang said: "I will report to your majesty and reward the meritorious people."

At this time, Sima Yi's main force had retreated to the area north of Mei County, which was north of the military camp where Sima Yi had previously deployed his main force.

Sima Yi's face looked like he had been soaked in bitter water for three days and three nights.

"How many more soldiers and horses are there?"

Sima Zhao said: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, our army still has [-] troops."

This number sounds nice, but in fact Xiahou Ba fought with Jiang Wei for more than a month and suffered heavy losses. Zhang Hu was defeated and suffered heavy losses, and Guo Huai was not much better.

Most of these [-] troops may be logistics troops.

Wei Jun died and fled.

It can be said that the vitality is greatly damaged.

What made Sima Yi even more uncomfortable was that he could not determine the number of casualties of the Han army.

That is to say, it is impossible to assess the enemy's current strength.

Sima Zhao continued: "Now we have to find ways to reinforce the Longyou counties."

"It is not easy for the Shu army to capture the Longyou princes in a short period of time." Xin Pi said.
