I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 352: The Wei-Wu alliance resisted the Han?

When Lu Zhi and others arrived, the road was already full of people.

Someone came with a hoe, someone with a bowl of rice, someone with a chicken, or a woman with a piece of cloth.

There are more and more people, and more people are coming here after getting the news.

At this time, some people shouted: "Everyone, please get out of the way, leave the official road, and make way for the general!"

"Make a way quickly!"

"..."

The crowd began to retreat to both sides consciously.

"What happened in front?" Li Heng was riding on his horse, looking over and seeing the crowd in front of him, he couldn't help but ask.

"General, those are the people of Xiangyang City."

The sound became more intense.

This loud shout instantly ignited the already surging emotions.

"What day is it today? Why do so many people gather here?"

Li Heng is proud of his record.

Li Heng's heart was shocked, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Welcome me?" Li Heng was quite surprised.

Guan Tong was confused.

The sound quickly erupted in the crowd, like a wave, starting to roll around, and then echoing between heaven and earth.

"Junhou, you see, this is the popularity, the popularity of Master Wang in the hearts of the people." Li Heng looked at Guan Tong and said, "With the approval of the people, we are the Master of the King. In this way, there is no need to worry about the Central Plains being lost. !”

But what makes him even more proud now is the voices of these people.

Li Heng's third Northern Expedition was of great significance to Ji Han, as it indeed stabilized Jingzhou's defense line and regained Guanzhong.

He led the Han army that crossed the Yellow River four times in the Central Plains, entered the road supported by the crowd, and then waved to the crowd.

How relevant is this grand narrative to ordinary people?
Only when a practical policy like land equalization is preserved can it be related to people's livelihood.

The crowd welcomed the young general's triumph with the warmest emotions.

This was the first time that he felt such a warm welcome from the people. For a moment, he couldn't help but hugged the people around him, and a sense of pride arose in his heart.

Taking back Guanzhong and stabilizing Jingzhou are all political aspects.

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

"Long live the general! Long live the king!"

The scout said: "I just heard someone say that the general returned triumphantly, and their fields will still be theirs from now on. Under the protection of the general, they can finally have a full meal."

"General, they are here to greet you."

"Long live the general! Long live the king!"

Lu Zhi and others were also stunned. They came to their senses and came over quickly.

"General! General..."

Everyone came to Li Heng.

"See the General!"

Li Heng turned over and dismounted, grabbed Lu Zhi's hand, and became excited: "I just said, leave the main force to Shiying, there will be no problem, you can bring the soldiers back, it will be a great achievement!"

"The general's words are serious, the general's words are serious!" Lu Zhi was excited.

Ma Yong chuckled and said: "General, Shiying has been worried about you. He has been wondering where you are since the withdrawal of troops!"

Lu Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "General, I'm really worried. We have been preparing for several years to win Jingzhou, and I'm worried that we won't be able to keep it!"

Lu Zhi is really straightforward in speaking, and she just says what she wants.

"Let's go into the city together. There are many things we need to do together."

On the day Li Heng returned to Xiangyang, Sima Shi returned to Xuchang, Yingchuan.

Guo Huai and Sima Zhao both arrived in Xuchang.

Master Sima said: "The top priority is to immediately send orders to all counties and counties to dredge the rivers. This is the most important thing. If not in time, Luoyang may be in disaster!" "Brother, what should we do next?" Sima Zhao asked.

"You stay in Yuzhou, with 20,000 troops and horses in your hands. Guo Boji and I are going back to Luoyang, and we will go back immediately." Master Sima said in a calm tone.

But he used the word immediately, which made Sima Zhao feel the seriousness of the situation.

"What should we do next?" Sima Zhao asked again.

"Foreignly, unite with Sun Quan to fight against Liu Shu, and internally, purify the imperial court and eliminate evil villains!"

Sima Zhao asked: "Who is the evil villain?"

Master Sima did not answer his question, but said to Guo Huai: "Let's go, the master ordered us to return to the capital immediately."

"Okay." Guo Huai sighed. He didn't expect that the game would turn out like this. It seems that the master is going to kill people in the capital again.

And the situation may be worse than imagined.

In the early morning of July 24, Li Heng just woke up. He felt comfortable all over. He hadn't slept so soundly in more than two months.

It seems that fighting is really not something humans do!

At this time, Lu Zhi hurried over: "General, there is an urgent report from Jiangling."

Li Heng grabbed it and quickly opened it to look at it carefully.

After reading it, he frowned: "Jiangling was defended, but there were heavy casualties!"

"As long as you can keep it!"

"Get ready, I'm going to Jiangling."

"Why are you going to Jiangling at this time?"

"People's hearts need to be appeased, and Jiangling is a commercial center and the frontline for the next destruction of Wu. Xiangyang needs to strengthen the city defense, and Jiangling needs to increase its troops!"

Almost all Wu troops in Jiangling City have withdrawn.

The setting sun shines on the crumbling walls of Jiangling. Under the blurred flesh and blood, there are some withered flowers.

Half of the stumps were dragged up and thrown onto the cart, and the coagulated plasma was pulled from it.

People packed up numbly.

The war dead were piled on top like piles of dirt and dragged out of the city.

Occasionally, a few people will come looking for their relatives, but the probability of finding them is low.

For the rest, either the entire family is dead, or their relatives have now given up searching.

Du Yu was wearing leather armor and looked haggard. At the age of nineteen, he seemed to have some wrinkles all of a sudden.

His eyes were still calm, calmly watching the broken limbs being sent out of the city, waiting to be burned.

The river breeze in Jiangling City in the evening was no longer refreshing, but instead carried the nauseating smell of blood.

Also in Jingzhou, the joys and sorrows of Jiangling and Xiangyang are incompatible.

Du Yu turned around and walked to the river.

He stood there alone in trance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Not long after, the messenger rushed over: "General, we have confirmed that all Wu troops have returned to Wuchang."

"Okay." Du Yu closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll keep it."

His hands trembled slightly: "I did not let down the general, but I never thought that war could be so cruel."

July 25th, Jianye.

After Sun Quan read Lu Xun's report, his face became like the liver of the pig that had been dead for three days and three nights.

"How many people died in this battle?" Sun Quan suppressed his anger and asked Zhang Xiu with a smile.

"It is said that 13,000 people were killed in the battle, but Your Majesty does not need to worry. Most of them were barbarians."

"Is there any news about Li Jian?"

"No news yet."

Sun Quan asked eagerly: "What about Huainan? Is there any movement from the Wei army? Have they gone to reinforce the Central Plains?"
