In the next five days, the Western Expeditionary Army was cleaning up Hongnong County and had not yet evacuated the remaining Qiwannian troops.

After five days of cleaning up, there were indeed more than a thousand heads.

This is a personal achievement.

As for Hao Duyuan and Malanqiang Lu Shuihu's people, they left early.

This is something agreed upon.

After the Hejian kings finished watching, they also withdrew to Chang'an.

This actually made Lu Ji and others sigh.

Especially Lu Ji. He originally thought that he was responsible for the first attack on Tongguan, but unexpectedly, there was internal strife in Qi Wannian's army, and he actually abandoned the city and ran away. This credit was given to a ranger!

This made him not eat well these days, and he looked very thin.

During these five days, Wang Sheng used his soldiers to repair the city of Hu County and distributed excess grain and grass to the people for winter food.

Zhang Hong was responsible for cleaning up the foreigners, while Wang Sheng paid more attention to people's livelihood.

In contrast, Wang Sheng's reputation is naturally higher among the people.

the reason is simple.

No matter who you are, if you look good, people will like you.

Wang Sheng's appearance is much better than Zhang Hong's, especially since he is a scholar and has a relationship with the emperor, while Zhang Hong's image is that of a general.

Most generals don't get angry and are proud of themselves.

Especially after years of war, the reputation of being a soldier is not very good.

This is not to say that there are no generals who love the people like their own children. In fact, there are very few such generals. When it comes to maintaining the normal operation of their own armies, there are also many generals who have no choice but to attack the people.

Establishing a good reputation in Hongnong County is probably an unexpected blessing for Wang Sheng.

Reputation is a wonderful thing.

It usually seems to be of little use, but Wang Sheng knows that reputation may be the most important resource that he can easily obtain now.

Things like military power are not easy for a king to obtain.

But Wang Sheng can still have things like reputation as long as he works hard.

Moreover, in this era, feathers are cherished, and no one would accuse Wang Sheng of doing anything wrong.

After you have a reputation, many things can be done easily.

For example, when Wang was born in Anminsi, Hongnong County, some of the obstacles that originally existed have almost disappeared.

This is the most obvious benefit, but the greater benefit has not yet been revealed.

Looking forward, it is precisely because of his good reputation that Liu Bei was able to transform from a mat weaver and shoe seller to become Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, there was also the reason why he was the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, but at that time, the number of Han clan members was not 10,000, but 8,000.

Reputation is important, but how you use it is even more important.

Five days were enough for Zhang Hong to clear out several foreign remnants.

The remaining people are hiding in Huashan Mountain. Huashan Mountain is one of the Five Mountains. There are hundreds of people hiding. It would be too difficult to find the people inside.

It not only consumes huge manpower, but also consumes huge material resources and time.

Therefore, it was enough for Zhang Hong to stop.

but...

Even if Zhang Hong could clear out all the remaining alien soldiers in Huashan, Wang Sheng would not do so.

The King of Hejian had his own way of raising the bandits to respect themselves, and Wang Sheng also wanted to find a reason to arrange for some people to stay in Hongnong County.

The remaining alien soldiers in Huashan are a good reason to garrison troops.

The Western Expedition was in a hurry, so Wang Sheng left Che Xie behind, but he was afraid that Che Xie could not control the situation alone, so he temporarily left Zhang Bin in Hu County.

Wang Sheng knew that those people from the Hongnong Yang family who had taken refuge in Huashan had walked out of Huashan the day before yesterday.

Although the Hongnong Yang family is now suffering from injuries, Hongnong County is his territory after all, and he still has his prestige.

In addition, Jiang is very old and spicy, and with his temperament, he may not be able to deal with these people.

But if Zhang Bin is added, then there will be no problem.

Although Zhang Bin did not perform very well in front of Wang Sheng, that was because Wang Sheng's thinking logic was not of the same era as his.

At the same time, the amount of knowledge in their minds is not at the same level.

In the 21st century with the explosion of information, the literati of the Western Jin Dynasty may receive as much knowledge in a day as they did in a month.

Although the words are a bit exaggerated, the truth is this.

Of course, this does not mean that people of this era are not good at it.

In terms of strategy and conduct, Wang Sheng was not as good as Zhang Bin.

What makes Wang Sheng better than Zhang Bin is probably his perspective on the overall situation.

I know who is strong, I know who is weak, and I know who's character is like.

That is to say, if Liu Bang is strong, Han Xin is strong, I will use Han Xin, Zhang Liang is smart, and I will use Zhang Liang.

The principle is the same.

Wang Sheng relies on people to be strong, and this alone is enough.

On the sixth day, the army set off.

This is the team of the Western Expeditionary Army returning to Luo.

Of the 120,000 people they originally brought, only 90,000 have gone back now.

The most disappointed among them may be Meng Guan.

Although he had some merits, all his soldiers were lost.

Among them were King Zhao's three thousand private troops.

How to explain this matter made Meng Guan feel a little irritable.

Now he can only hope that the emperor's reward will be enough to make up for his loss this time.

But after thinking about it, Meng Guandu felt that such a thing was unrealistic.

The emperor is not a great philanthropist, he does not open a charity hall.

On the way back, the speed of the army automatically increased by three points.

Most of those who survived had meritorious service.

Some of them may be minor meritorious deeds, while others may be able to gain promotion to a higher position.

But whether it is a small meritorious service or a promotion to a noble position, if you can go back alive and not die in a foreign land, you will make a lot of money.

Wang Sheng watched Zhang Bin's car tilt.

The 10,000 people they control are the army that Wang Sheng really controls now.

As for the 20,000 people in Lu Ji and Lu Yun's hands, most of them have families.

Even if Wang Sheng forced them to stay, it would probably be useless.

Sooner or later, they will return to the land of the noble family.

This western expedition made 10,000 people, which was already a huge profit for Wang Sheng.

Moreover, what he got was much more than that.

Fame, Anminsi, and the upcoming rewards.

If you are awarded consecutive titles within two months, you will definitely not be able to raise your title.

Wang Sheng estimated in his mind that Sima Yu would probably give him a fiefdom and an official position.

As to whether it is the Chancellor's Desk or something else, I don't know.

With the success of the Western Expedition, Wang Sheng had an honest reason to participate in government affairs.

For him, the game in the court has just begun.

Any game about thrones is romantic and polite on the surface, but is bloody later on.

It is not as easy as you think to stand tall in the imperial court.

"Sir, I will leave the matter of Hongnong County to you. When the matter of Hongnong County is settled, you and I will meet again in Luoyang. Remember, the people of the Yang family of Hongnong are not easy to deal with.

of."

Zhang Bin nodded heavily.

"Lord, please don't worry."

Wang Sheng gave a few more instructions to the carriage and then got on the carriage.

Unlike when he came, Wang Sheng prepared a carriage for himself when he returned.

If this bump reaches Luoyang, I'm afraid my life will be lost.

It is necessary to take the lead, but before taking the lead, you also need to know the order of hierarchy.
