"Zhangzhou Mu, the fire has been basically extinguished now, and Cao Kang's men and horses in the city have been gathered together."
"The grain and grass stored in the capital have been distributed to various military camps. They are currently storing them as needed."
"News just came from outside the city. The battle on General Fan's side has ended. Cao Kang and Ma Yaohan are both dead."
"And more than 7,000 horses were captured."
"..."
News is constantly coming to Zhang Bao.
This battle in Xiazhou declared the end of Dawei, and at the same time erased the traces of Daxia left in the capital.
"Order Fan Hanzhong to take his troops to rest in Xiazhou!"
"Send a team of troops to go to Nanzhou immediately and sweep all Ma Yaohan's previous territory in Nanzhou for me!"
Zhang Bao thought for a while and said to the people below.
"Zhang Bao, what are your plans next?"
"Now Cao Kang has been eliminated, and there are no enemies in the whole of Daxia."
After seeing everyone go out, Xixue asked Zhang Bao.
"Hundreds of thousands of people are now waiting for us. In addition, we have just captured Dawei, and our morale is high. We can take the opportunity to do something."
"Whether it's Nanzhou or Xizhou, it used to be Cao Kang's place. There must be some remnant forces of Dawei in it. We need to stabilize the entire Daxia territory first."
"After the army has swept through it once, it's almost done."
Zhang Bao looked at the map and said to Xixue.
"By the way, where's Uncle He?"
"Why haven't you seen him in the past two days?"
Zhang Bao turned to Xixue and asked.
"Uncle He was picked up by shopkeeper Zheng a long time ago. He said he had some secret recipe that can treat waist injuries."
Xixue said to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao nodded.
Many of them knew about the relationship between Lao He and Zhang Bao.
For Zheng Kongqing, perhaps he wanted to make up for his previous mistakes through Lao He.
Treating Lao He's back injury is fake, but getting closer to Lao He is real.
Zheng Kongqing is a businessman and knows how to maximize profits.
During this period of time, I have been busy with matters in the capital and have not cared about other trivial matters. If Zheng Kongqing pesters me at this time, it will definitely have counterproductive effects.
It is undoubtedly the best to start from Lao He.
"In this case, let Uncle He stay here for the time being. He really can't deal with his back injury anymore."
"Let's pack up and prepare to go back to Yunzhong County."
"Originally, when I came out this time, I planned to finish the matter in Dongzhou. But I didn't expect that the matter in Xiazhou advanced so unexpectedly. This back and forth has been delayed for a long time."
"Counting the days, Xiaoyue is almost there."
"Now that the situation has been decided, all that's left are some small things. I believe Fan Hanzhong and the others can handle them."
"Maybe they will be very happy to see you again when we go back this time!"
Zhang Bao said to Xixue.
"Xixue?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Zhang Bao saw that Xixue was stunned and waved his hand in front of Xixue's eyes.
"Oh, no...it's nothing."
"Then after you go back, Yang Mo?"
Xixue asked timidly.
Now that Zhang Bao has captured Cao Kang, looking at the entire Great Xia, he has no rivals. Both his status and reputation have reached their peak.
Even if he does not have the title of emperor, he still has the reality of being an emperor.
At this time, I'm afraid I have to deal with Yang Mo's matter.
Even though Yang Mo is still the emperor of Daxia, since Cao Kang became emperor, Yang Mo's presence in the world has been very low.
Even though there is now a new capital in Hezhou, it cannot change Yang Mo's current embarrassing status.
"Yang Mo?"
"Are you still worried about me killing him?"
"You don't need me to tell you now that Yang Mo's existence or not actually doesn't mean much to me."
“Some of the things I was worried about before, only when I got to this point did I realize that they were a bit too much to worry about.”
Zhang Bao shook his head.
"Um……"
"I understand, thank you!"
Xixue said to Zhang Bao in a daze.
"what happened?"
"Why do you feel a little weird lately?"
"Don't think so much about it yet."
Zhang Bao said to Xixue.
"Report!"
"General Fan is back with his troops!"
At this moment, a soldier walked in and said.
"Let's go!"
"Go out and meet Fan Hanzhong. He will probably be very happy to see you here."
"Thanks to you for opening the way this time."
Zhang Bao took Xixue out.
…
Two days later, Zhang Bao and Xixue set off, heading towards Yunzhong County with the men from the Gold Touching Brigade and the Thirty-Six Riders of Bao Guard.
Fan Hanzhong and Lao He stayed.
Although Lao He also wanted to go back, his back injury along the way had reached its limit.
Zheng Kongqing's recipe is really good, but it takes a little longer to prepare.
Fortunately, Fan Hanzhong also stayed in Xiazhou.
Before Zhang Bao left, he asked Fan Hanzhong to divide his troops into multiple groups and sweep all the remaining states in Daxia.
The several states surrounding Xiazhou were also within the scope of Cao Kang. Although most of the troops were deployed, the county magistrates and county guards were almost all Cao Kang's people, regardless of whether they rebelled or not. In the heart, at least there is a cutscene, which can also make their identities clearer.
As for Nanzhou, it was equivalent to being captured by Ma Yaohan before, and there were many of Ma Yaohan's troops here. Although the 100,000 troops brought by Ma Yaohan were all wiped out in Xiazhou, they were still there. Nanzhou still has a lot of foundations, which must be cleared away.
"Hey, in-laws!"
"Drink, you do!"
In a house in the capital, Lao He was taking Fan Hanzhong to drink.
"Please stop it. Our girl is also a princess, so she got married without any reason?"
"Isn't it a bit shabby?"
Fan Hanzhong said drunkenly.
"You old guy, are you a little too pushy?"
"Before, who said that as long as our young master is willing, he can accept it. Now it's fine. I accept it according to your wishes. Now you think of something else. You old man is very greedy!"
Lao He said with a smile.
Pour Fan Hanzhong a glass of wine again.
The wine pot in Lao He's hand is exactly the mandarin duck pot that he got from Zhang Bao before.
Seeing that he had almost reached the limit, Lao He simply changed it.
during this time.
Fan Hanzhong is a general who leads hundreds of thousands of troops. Previously, Fan Hanzhong was a victorious general in Lao He's eyes. Now that he has finally gotten involved, how can he let Fan Hanzhong go so easily?
I can't compare in terms of status, but I always want to compare in other aspects.
