The next day, Master Wang transferred back to Chaoge, and Chongjun returned to Chongcheng, leaving Jizhou in a mess.
Fortunately, Jizhou took back the direct jurisdiction of Dashang, and has since become one with Caozhou and Chentang. It seems that a piece of territory has been cut off from northern Xinjiang, but in fact it has also reduced the burden of Chongguo's post-war reconstruction.
Lu Xiong served as the new garrison of Jizhou City. Seeing the empty city, Lu Xiong became furious and cursed Chonghou Hu and Meng Chang. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured, and more than 100,000 were killed and injured. The rest were basically plundered by the two of them. After moving back to northern Xinjiang, no matter how he argued, Chonghou Huzhu ignored him and ignored him whenever he asked.
After finishing the counter-rebellion in Jizhou, Mengchang sent out reconnaissance cavalry and searched for more than ten days within a radius of a hundred miles. There was no trace of Su Daji. He just thought about the White-fronted Tiger Taoist Priest and had no impression at all. Su Hu Mengchang couldn't help but feel a little frustrated as he kept silent about this.
Among the Taoists riding the tiger, there was only one who seemed to be deeply impressed, Zhao Gongming, the top disciple of Jie Jiao's outer sect.
But there is no reason for this great immortal to come to Jizhou to pick up Su Daji. If it were him, regardless of his position and character, he should beat this evildoer to death with one blow.
In addition, there is also a very strange thing. I heard that the king's chamberlain, Shi Youhun, once praised him and said a lot of good things for him. Meng Chang wanted to express his gratitude in person at the king's camp.
But this Youhun Qingshi has a rather weird temper. He has helped him a lot, but he is unwilling to see him. There seems to be some contempt and disgust in his words, which is really unclear.
Mengchang, who was puzzled, could only withdraw his thoughts. He was not a minister of Chaoge. He was a prince in northern Xinjiang. The future could only be decided one step at a time and discussed later.
After returning to Chongcheng and not staying for a few more days, Mengchang and Deng Jiugong, who was assisting in the battle, said goodbye to Chonghou and picked up Meng's mother and more than ten young companions from Mengcun Village, including Meng Zhu, Meng You, etc. People embarked on the road back to Jiu City.
Walking through Daizong again and embarking on the road through Taicheng for the second time, I actually had a lot of insights in my heart. Watching Deng Chanyu sneaking over from Deng Jiugong's military camp next to him, Meng Chang was a little funny. At that time, General Deng He was still an aloof "manly man", but now he has a lot of femininity.
It's a pity that three people in the team are no longer there, Zou Wu, Jiang Ziya, and Bian Ji.
Along the way, Wu Gan, who was homesick and eager to speak, talked a lot less. The Chongcheng soldiers who occupied the main force of the army at that time had also been diluted to various school camps, and the organic Chongcheng military formation disappeared. They merged into a mixed outer North Sea army.
In addition to the 700,000 to 80,000 troops in Lincheng who are still under the command of the Grand Master, Mengchang can be regarded as a prince with a hundred thousand battle armors, although many of these 100,000 people are from the city. The disciples of the princes in Laicheng and other parts of the inner North Sea formed an alliance.
However, after Zhong Xi and Zhong Ji's repeated deceptions and brainwashing, most of this group of people stayed, raised funds and venture capital, and officially joined the rise of the dirty city man. They look forward to following this brave and capable young man. General, get more promotion levels.
Whether it is within Beihai, or from the northern border of Chongguo to Yancheng, there are many good men and women who come here because of their fame. They would rather follow Meng Chang, who has outstanding military exploits and looks like a future star, to go to Beihai and endure hardships. I am willing to serve under those sullen princes and lords.
People have their own ambitions, just like the parting of ways between Meng Chang and Zou Wu, it is like a tram problem, with obstacles going left or right. Zou Wu chose not to choose, while Meng Chang chose to save more people and save his own people. The name of benevolence and righteousness was stained with ink, and the voices around him who used to talk about benevolence and righteousness gradually became less and less, and instead they were more praised for his unparalleled marching ability.
Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are dark. Nowadays, there are many more ambitious people joining the forces in Jiucheng. The most special ones are the tens of thousands of slaves wearing winter clothes and trying their best to keep up with the army.
The leader, Chunxiong, looked tall and tall after cleaning up his face, and he was really a good warrior on horseback, if he didn't look at the tattooed slave mark on his face.
The army was walking on its own territory, and Mengchang also maintained good marching habits. He scattered his reconnaissance cavalry to conduct reconnaissance, beware of the enemy's situation, and at the same time sent instructions to Jiucheng.
Looking at the expectant soldiers, Meng Chang called Wu Cheng and whispered something. Then Wu Cheng's eyes seemed to light up and he kept saying "General, wonderful, really brilliant", and took the others one step ahead. Several lords from the four cities returned to the city first.
"The Lord is about to return. He has won a great victory. The unparalleled General Mengchang is about to arrive at his loyal city of Gu!"
The news immediately caused a sensation in the city. Wu Cheng, who was one step ahead, began to prepare for the "triumphal ceremony" mentioned by the Lord in a hurry. He must arouse the morale of the city's citizens and soldiers, and prepare all kinds of food. He also ordered all merchants and merchants in the city to The nobles of the Wu family took out the fine wine they had collected for a long time and prepared for this carnival.
Before entering the city, after hearing the news, the people and servants who were farming winter wheat outside the city immediately stood respectfully by the road, cheering and expressing their joy.
After the heavy snowfall, this year is the time of harvest, and every family has surplus food. The people are all grateful for Meng Gunan's kindness.
The disciples of Jiucheng walking on the Chidao held their heads high, smiled so hard that they couldn't close their mouths, with tears in their eyes, happily showing off to other local robes around them.
"Look, look carefully, these are the people of our city, our city. This is the place where the general raised his troops. The people of the city will always be loyal to Meng Gunan!"
The other sergeants looked at the people of Jiucheng who greeted each other with envy. Even the old soldiers in Chongcheng were like this. Oh my God, this Jiucheng is really a good place with outstanding people. The people are simple and honest, and the soldiers and civilians are kind. It is worthy of being called the city. The "capital" of the lord he follows.
The slaves of the Rong tribe looked at their well-dressed and flesh-colored "compatriots" with great admiration in their hearts. They threw their heads and blood, and brought their wives, children, and children in groups, wanting to come to Jiucheng, not only because they wanted to start over and become a A real person?
These "compatriots" are the best role models. At least, they completed the first step and followed their lord to the city of dirt that they cherished.
Welcoming them all the way, these soldiers who were returning to the city for the first time as a conquest army were in high spirits. They felt their blood pressure surge and their courage burst. They wished that a few ring dogs or a group of rebels would appear in front of them and perform something for the fellow villagers in the street. Called a brave man, brave and not afraid of death.
The more excited young man's hand holding the spear was so tight that it turned white, and he was trembling with wartime stress reaction.
Wu Gan even stood on the chariot, took off his shirt, and shouted loudly like his master when showing off to the king, asking everyone to pay attention to the scars on his body, this place...
Seeing how the military formations were in disarray and Wu Gan and the other disciples from Jucheng were in chaos, Meng Chang and Zhao Bing secretly laughed. The haze of the war had been dispelled by these brats.
Although Meng Chang is only twenty years old and has lived for fifty years in two lifetimes, he is still mentally more mature and stable than these young people.
When he arrived at the city gate, Wu Cheng, who had put on an embroidered robe, was waiting in front of the city with all the village elders, women, children and children.
"All troops stop! Arrange in formation!!"
Mengchang was also unambiguous. Amid the exclamations of the people in the city, he directly displayed three heads and six arms, with a halberd on the left and a pair of maces on the right. He was holding a huge ax and walked majestically in front of the military formation.
"All officers and men, form a guard of honor, enter the city in an orderly manner, and show your dignity to the fellow villagers."
"First formation! Pioneer officer Wu Gan, line up! Enter the city!"
"Oh! Oh! Oh!"
Wu Gan was so excited that he beat his chest on the chariot. He was the first to enter the city. The general gave him the qualification to be the first to enter the city. Wu Gan was so excited that he was yelling and screaming on the chariot, saying After all, he is still a boy of eighteen or nineteen.
The villagers waiting in front of the city gate also applauded enthusiastically. They didn't feel that Wu Gan was at all. Meng Lang loudly boasted about Wu Gan's achievements. Wu Cheng even loudly told the bravery of his nephew in front of the people in the city, and the cheers were like The huge waves made the first line of vanguard soldiers feel very happy.
"Second formation! Former army general Zhao Bing! Form up! Enter the city!"
Taking advantage of Zhao Bing's military formation entering the city, Mengchang also asked his commander to send troops to the Zhong family brothers, Laicheng Xue family, Xue Bo and other leaders of the non-Gucheng army. This time, he mainly congratulated the city of Gucheng and the next four cities. , everything is available, and all have the opportunity to return to their hometown.
Meng Chang is the strong one in the army. Regardless of the tacit cooperation of the army and the unity of offense and defense, this is the balance that Meng Chang has worked hard to maintain.
On weekdays, Wu Gan bites Zou Wu to death, and the forces in the Inner Beihai represented by the Zhong brothers are not very good at dealing with Wu Gan and others in the Outer Beihai. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there is a struggle for power, and a bowl of water is not equal. , even as a master, he cannot completely suppress all the emotions of his subordinates.
A qualified leader should be able to take good care of the emotions and even the development path of his subordinates. If he cannot do this, it is not called leadership, but can only be called management.
There is no way to dedicate cups of wine to every soldier. We can only give priority to the princes and generals in each army to taste it on behalf of their subordinates, and then two people will take the meat from the three armies back to their respective camps.
When the meat was divided into the hands of each sergeant, there was not much, only one or two kilograms. These soldiers did not want too little, and it was good to have it. When the general announced the promulgation of relatives, he just happened to take it home to let the family grow old. Children can also eat minced meat together.
"General Wu, how do you like the wine proposed by the villagers?"
After going crazy, Wu Gan smacked his lips, still savoring the sweetness of the wine. In fact, it was no different from the usual grain wine and fruit wine, but the taste in his mouth was very different now.
"This wine is so beautiful, it intoxicates the heart and spleen, makes you sweat all over, and has endless aftertaste!"
Seeing Wu Gan's intoxicated look, Wu Gan's military commanders were not polite and made a fuss: "I see, it's true that the wine tastes delicious, but it's false that he's sweating. How did General Wu get fever from drinking? Previously, Like a monkey, he not only beat his chest on the chariot, but also screamed and screamed. I thought he was a monster."
"Hahaha, that's right, that's right. The general must be sweating from exhaustion."
Wu Gan was so angry that he clenched his fists and was about to hit someone. The military princes were afraid of disrupting the military formation, so they did not dodge. They lightly received Wu Gan's blows a few times, and smiled without saying anything. They just wanted to have fun for a while, and then they continued to make trouble. , it would be bad if it messed up the formation and weakened the reputation of their vanguard army.
Seeing Wu Gan and others dying for their confidants, Wu Cheng was filled with emotion. He looked at Meng Chang himself, who was the last one to enter the city. Now not only the sergeants were excited, but the whole city was boiling.
I don’t know who shouted first, and the sound of “Changsheng” resounded throughout Jiucheng.
Mengchang looked forward. At this time, he had put away his three heads and six arms, and he was riding on a tall horse. Xin Ping and Lian Yong were behind him on the left, and Zhong Xi and Deng Zhizhong were behind him on the right. They were slowly controlling the horses to enter the city.
"Always win! Try to win!"
"Taste victory! Always win!"
In a daze, Wu Cheng only felt that a tall and mighty giant seemed to emerge behind Meng Chang. Not only Wu Cheng was confused, but everyone seemed to be a little confused.
I saw the Lord dismounting from his horse, and his body gradually grew bigger and bigger with the cheers, and finally transformed into a three-foot-three giant like the four generals of the Demon Family, looking down on the people in the city.
"From now on, the name of Jiucheng will be changed to Mengcheng! The king of Mengcheng will start with me, Mengchang. From now on, under my protection, the people of Mengcheng will no longer suffer from the disasters of swordsmanship or famine. .”
"Mengcheng! Ten thousand years!"
"Mengcheng! Ten thousand years!"
