On the sixth day of the fifth month, the Great Wall of Yanshan Mountain is Juyongguan.

Dozens of lever-type catapults smashed with all their strength from two or three hundred steps away, and the sky occasionally crossed a hundred kilograms of huge rocks.

The walls of the barriers have collapsed, and large swaths of rammed earth have collapsed on the ground, forming a gentle slope of earth piles, which can even allow soldiers who are working on the key points to lie on the soil and climb upwards.

However, the location of Juyong Pass is really steep. Even if there are no walls, the last few hundred steps leading to the pass are all high in slope and it is difficult to attack, so the defenders can persist until today.

It has been three days since the main force of Juyong Pass defenders was ordered to retreat. Yuan Xi's attitude was very clear, and he gave up the pass and prevented Zhang Fei from circling and sieging the guards from making dumplings after he arrived in the position.

However, when the guards are implementing the specific situation, they will still consider the specific situation. It is impossible to withdraw all the more than 20,000 people here at the same time. They will definitely have to delay the time when the remaining troops are fighting and blocking.

After all, if everyone leaves and leaves an empty pass, Xu Huang can continue to pursue immediately after he wins the pass. If the tail of the bitten troops retreats from Badaling to Jicheng, it is probably going to turn into a bloody road.

Therefore, the final result of the implementation was that the main force of 20,000 people was withdrawn, leaving two or three thousand to continue to hold on for several days, and bought time for the main force to retreat.

Due to the poor information and the defenders made some concealment when retreating, Xu Huang did not immediately find that there were fewer enemies on the wall.

It was only two days after the enemy's main force had left that he received the exact news that the enemy's main force retreated from the scout who came in detour. At that time, Zhang Fei had already reached Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Zhuo County, and entered the town of Weiliang Township (now Fangshan). He sent Wang Ping's mountain troops to investigate along Yanshan and discovered this information.

It would take time for Zhang Fei's main force to surround the rear of Badaling, so the scout immediately assigned people to cross the mountain to inform Xu Huang. Xu Huang immediately turned to the full force to attack and smash the empty Juyong Pass.

If the two or three thousand defenders at the gate are determined, it will be fine to defend for seven or eight days. Although the troops are insufficient, the wall is not long. It will take a long time to stand in a pit to fight a position.

Unfortunately, unless it is a dead soldier who is full of money and kindness, not many soldiers will still fight to the last moment in such a blocking battle that knows that they will die.

Xu Huang's offensive was fierce, and the walls were damaged everywhere. The iron-armored soldiers climbed up first without fear of death, swarmed and attacked fiercely, and opened the first gap. After gaining a foothold on the wall, the soldiers left behind in Yuan's army soon fell into a chain reaction and collapsed, and they knelt down and surrendered.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, Xu Huang finally stood on the wall of Juyongguan, and the natural danger of Yanshan Great Wall was broken.

On the ninth day of the fifth month, Xu Huang's army advanced to Changping and Zhang Fei's army advanced to Guangyang. The two armies successfully joined forces and surrounded Jicheng from both northwest and southwest directions.

However, Zhang Fei himself did not come to the Guangyang front line immediately. The main reason was that Zhang Fei also knew that when the war reached this point, Yuan Xi was clearly going to defend Jicheng.

Facing a big city that is determined to defend, it will take at least ten days and half a month to prepare for siege weapons, construction projects, and food preparations. It doesn’t matter whether Zhang Fei is here in person or not.

Taking advantage of this period, Zhang Fei, who had not returned to his hometown for more than ten years, chose to spend a few more days in Zhuo County to appease the people, inspect the local area, and eliminate the remaining bandits, just like returning home in glory.

For the specific military affairs coordination, Zhang Fei directly gave up the lead and handed over to Pang Tong, and even the matter of meeting Xu Huang was handed over to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong had no objection to advise him, and he knew human nature. Zhang Fei, a person with a temperament, would never be able to rest if he didn't drink it well for three or five days when he returned to Zhuo County.

Even if Liu Bei was on the scene, he would not stop Zhang Fei. Instead, he might drink with Zhang Fei. Returning home in glory, everyone has such a plot. Maybe in order to show off, Liu Bei would have to create a scene similar to the song of the wind.

...

On the ninth day of the fifth month, on the same day, Zhang Fei brought two thousand cavalrymen with him, and everyone was dressed in distinctive armor.

All wearing iron armor, red Shu brocade battle robe, and newly polished shiny leather boots. Zhang Fei's own boots are still rhinestone.

Everyone rode a tall horse that had just polished the horse's hooves, and their weapons were brightly polished and oiled. They went into Zhuo County proudly to inspect local public security.

Zhang Fei put the snake spear on the saddle, and did not hold the reins. He just straightened his back, pressed his left hand on the sword-scattered guard, and waved to the villagers without any instruction with his right hand, just one sentence, "Thank you for your hard work, comrades."

The Zhuo County Magistrate and Zhuo County Magistrate who were also serving as a fake post in the Yuan family a few days ago were all worshipped by the roadside. When Zhang Fei walked beside him, he danced with dust and congratulations, all of which were similar to the lines "The elders of Zhuo County longed for Your Majesty and the General of the Carriage to save the people from water and fire for a long time."

As for why the county magistrate didn't come... it was mainly because he didn't know the current affairs. Zhang Fei wanted to resist when he came, so he was rebelled by the people below and directly chopped the county magistrate to take the king into the city.

The county magistrate of Zhuo County took the lead in getting close to each other. After entering the city, he took the initiative to lead Zhang Fei to a manor near the city to inspect and give Zhang Fei a way out for explanation.

Wherever they went, there was a fertile and prosperous farmland, and a large forest in the west of the city surrounded by the hills of Yanshan Mountain.

Now in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the peach blossoms bloom in spring, so of course there are no flowers to see. However, there are plenty of fruits, both green and red, but not all ripen.

The crops in the fields are naturally wheat, and the wheat seedlings are thriving and verdant, far from ripe.

"General Cheqi, I dare not deceive you. This is where your family's Taoyuan Village was located. Although I served as a fake position under Yuan Xi, this Taoyuan Village never dared to occupy it. This is the land deed. If you want to keep it, it doesn't matter if you don't. Write another one at that time."

The county magistrate also rushed to please: "Yes, yes, I heard from the soldiers in the army that Your Majesty once promised that after restoring Zhuo County in this battle, he would temporarily relocate the general to encircle Zhuo Hou. The land in the whole county is your fiefdom, let alone this little Taoyuan Village. Of course, this is definitely the general's private village and cannot escape."

Zhang Fei touched his beard and was led around to visit. He was also very excited and almost scratched a few of his beards.

There is no way, people will be nostalgic, this is where the dream begins.

Sixteen years ago, I joined the elder brother and the second brother here and drank and fought against the Yellow Turbans together. After a year of war, my elder brother got a county magistrate and then went to Anxi County, Zhongshan County for two years.

My elder brother was in office for two years and wanted to get rid of his position when he encountered the supervisor making trouble. He was lucky enough to meet Boya. Not only did he not lose his official position, he also exposed the major case of Zhang Chun's rebellion. He then quelled Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, the two rebels, and gradually gained the current atmosphere.

Taoyuan was already sixteen years ago, and it was threeteen years ago that we met Boya.

When the manor left, it was no longer the same as me. Strictly speaking, when Zhang Fei left, he did not abandon the manor, but sold the manor and sold the land to another big family in the county.

In the two years since he immigrated to Anxi County, he also rebuilt the industry in Anxi, relying on the capital he raised for selling a manor in his hometown in Zhuo County. It is equivalent to the "improved urgent need" in later generations. Therefore, there is no reason to return this place that has been sold by Zhang Fei.

It was probably sixteen years later that the war was in chaos, and the buyers were gone, and they changed hands several times. The last move was probably because they were threatened by Zhuo County Magistrate and Zhuo County Magistrate. Seeing that the king's army was about to arrive, in order to please Zhang Fei, he quickly took it back and presented it to him.

Zhang Fei was also very delicate. After initially being excited, he understood this truth and asked majestic:

"You are very good at eating pots of slurry and welcoming the king's army. But we are a kind and righteous army and do not disturb the people! We will not do anything to seize the robbery. Taoyuanzhuang was sold for a long time ago. How did you get it back? Who are your two surnames? When you were an official, I still have to ask about the political achievements!"

The county magistrate was so scared that he quickly made a statement.

The county magistrate said humbly: "The humble position of Sun Li, a person from the neighboring county, has only become an official in recent years. Because during Yuan Shao's rule, he often used local people as local officials, and the three laws of the last emperor were abolished early. When he was an official, he never dared to harm the people, so he hoped to investigate clearly."

The county magistrate also bowed and said, "I am a low-ranking Liu Fang, a native of Fangcheng, a neighboring county. He inspected Zhongzheng at the age of 20. He was the county magistrate at the beginning and served as the county magistrate for two years. He had just been promoted to the county magistrate. We are all locals, and we dare not harm the people when facing our fellow villagers.

We bought the general's manor with Yuan Xi's treasury Yucai. Since Yuan Xi has given up Zhuo County, the money of the treasury will naturally be dominated by the general. Please do not blame us for making decisions without authorization.

If the general doesn't believe it, you can ask the famous scholars and high-ranking families of our county. If the general doesn't believe it, you can ask the Lu Prince Lu (Lu Yu) of the Lu family. He is the only son of Shangshu Lu, and he is His Majesty's junior brother. Will the general believe his words?"

(Note: Don’t ask me why Sun Zi, Liu Fang did not appear together. The previous article always appeared Sun Zi and Jia Kui, but there was no Liu Fang. Liu Fang was a native of Zhuo County)

After hearing this, Zhang Fei was still a little suspicious because he knew what the "nine-rank Zhongzheng system" implemented under Yuan Shao's rule was. With Yuan Shao's original attitude of "representing the interests of aristocratic families" that he could be investigated under his rule was probably as rich as the filial and honest person.

In fact, Liu Fang was originally supposed to be a filial and honest person in history. It was only now that the butterfly effect, the Zhongzheng system was advanced, and he became a qualified official after being inspected by Zhongzheng.

Zhang Fei asked, "Oh? Are you a vocational official in the school? Do you have any virtues in the countryside? Or is it based on your background?"

Liu Fang was a little embarrassed and smiled and said, "The Huzhi is a relative of the Han Dynasty... Don't get me wrong, and I will never dare to pretend to be the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. The Huzhi is only the descendant of the King of Yan assassination."

Zhang Fei did not ask much. In order to show his attitude, Yuan Shao must have been relatively relaxed in the investigation of the virtues of the Han clan relatives, so it is not surprising that he can be an official.

Since today is a happy day for returning home in glory, as long as you don’t find any obvious bad deeds, you won’t ask more details, so as not to lose your mood.

"So that's it... You are determined. I am not the kind of general who needs small profits. I will bring the former owner of the Taoyuan. I will give him money personally. You can go back and settle the accounts and not embezzle them!

Also, since Mr. Lu is also in Zhuo County, please help me invite him to have a banquet and celebrate together.”

Sun Li and Liu Fangwei are only known for being.

Zhang Fei is also a super rich man now. To be precise, any top nobles in Liu Bei's camp who expands their business with Li Su's industrial layout, does not have a family that has a wealth of at least 1 billion or 800 million? Especially those who marry the daughter of the Zhen family as their wives and concubines, they know what is the most profitable thing to do.

The Zhuge family has billions of dollars.

How could Zhang Fei be too lazy to take advantage of that little thing! It’s disappointing!

The gentry who sold Taoyuan was soon brought to Zhang Fei by Liu Fang. Sixteen years have passed, and the land in Taoyuan has already changed three or four owners. The last buyer and seller were an old man over 50 years old.

Zhang Fei didn't bully him either. He held the old man's arm and gave him a plate with his other hand, putting a few ingots of horse hoof gold on it, and asked kindly with his eyes:

"My father-in-law, I am Zhang Fei, General of the Cavalry. Are you really willing to sell this Taoyuan to me? County Magistrate Liu didn't force you to buy it forcibly, right? Is this eight ingots of horse hoof gold? Is it a good price to buy this farm again?"

"It's suitable for the general, the young man is kind, the young man is old and weak, and the family is gradually fewer. In addition, the tenant farmers are scattered, and there are no one to farm. The general is willing to buy it, so he is sympathetic to the young man."

Seeing that it was indeed not forcing the people, Zhang Fei was very satisfied and let the seller go.

It made a perfect deal and benefited the people. Zhang Fei was very happy and had a problem of making friends with famous scholars. Seeing that Liu Fang had invited Lu Yu, the son of the late Shangshu Lu Zhi, he quickly invited Lu Yu to return to the village to sit for a drink.

He also boasted to Lu Yu and asked him what he thought about the fact that he had restored Zhuo County and did not commit any crimes against the people.

Of course, Lu Yu even praised his senior brother's kindness, and his soldiers under his senior brother were all benevolent and righteous kings. Anyway, Lu Zhi was quite respected when Yuan Shao was in power. Now, when he returned to Liu Bei's rule, he would only treat him better.

Zhang Fei was also very happy when he heard this. He stopped drinking high-altitude wine when he returned home. He specially asked someone to find the earth-wine Zhongshan winter wine to be nostalgic and put dozens of jars on the hem of Zhuangwutang.

The soldiers then found all kinds of wild game, birds and animals, washed and peeled them, and placed them on charcoal, iron racks, roasted them. Zhang Fei poured a huge cup and asked Lu Yu to drink with him, and other local officials could only accompany him to entertain him.

After a whole jar of Zhongshan winter brewing was eaten, Zhang Fei showed off to Lu Yu and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, before we sent troops, Your Majesty told us that after restoring our hometown in Zhuo County, we would have to build a temple for Shangshu Lu and pursue the title of Grand Tutor.

The descendants can also gain the remaining favor. However, they have to be moved. If you can't be enthroned in Zhuo County, don't be wronged. We, the Marquis of Zhuo, will probably not be held for a few years, and will be relegated in the future."

Zhang Fei's words were actually a bit beyond his reach, but he drank too much, considering his relationship with Liu Bei, it was nothing to say.

Because Liu Bei had roughly promised these treatments to him, but the formal system must be approved by the court before it can take effect.

Zhang Fei also knew that after he had the merit of restoring Yan, he would fight Cao Cao to reap some military merits in the future, and he would definitely be granted the title of Duke. After becoming a county duke, he would not have to move another place? Zhuo County would definitely not be able to stay there for a long time.
