Two days after Guan Xing recovered Shangqi, Zhuge Liang and Yang Qing finally led the main army to come. At this time, Wu Yi had led 4,000 troops to Anding County, so there were only 23,000 Han troops outside Shangqian City.

Zhuge Liang asked the army to station outside the city, leading only the officials of the Prime Minister's Office and a few soldiers into Shangqi City. Of course, the former governor's office of Yongzhou of Cao Wei has now become Zhuge Liang's headquarters.

"Xing failed to keep Guo Huai, so I asked the Prime Minister to sue him." When Zhuge Liang settled down and summoned everyone to discuss the matter, Guan Xing first apologized.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "This is because Guo Huai saw the opportunity quickly and made decisive decisions, not your fault. Moreover, it is also a merit for you to lead the army to chase and behead hundreds of levels. If you still have a reward, how can you say you are guilty?"

"Yes, An Guo, it is a good thing for our army to recover the storm without bloodshed. Guo Huai has a keen sense of smell, so it is normal for him to escape, so there is no need to worry. In the future, there will be many opportunities to face this person." Yang Qing also echoed and comforted.

Zhuge Liang said: "Get up Anguo, Mingzhi said it well, and there will be opportunities to capture and kill Guo Huai in the future."

"Yes, thank you Prime Minister." Guan Xing also felt relieved and stood up happily.

After he returned to his seat, Zhuge Liang looked at everyone and said excitedly: "Everyone, the Shangqian has returned, and there is no Wei army in the entire Longyou area. This means that our Northern Expedition has achieved complete achievements and is enough to offer victory to the emperor." As he spoke, his voice trembled, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

Everyone was filled with mixed feelings when they heard this, and their eyes were filled with tears. They all wanted to prepare for several years. After two months of fighting, they did not waste the efforts of tens of thousands of soldiers and the people in Shu. This time, they could breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Wei Du, you can draw a memorial to report the victory on my behalf, detailing the war and the achievements of the generals. In the past two days, I will send it back to Chengdu to report the victory to the emperor." Zhuge Liang said to Hu Ji.

Hu Ji immediately received the order: "No."

"Mingzhi, Wei Gong, You Chang." Zhuge Liang pointed out the names of three people in a row.

Yang Qing and the other two responded: "Here."

"In the past few days, Ru and the other two have been investigating the registered population of Tianshui, Nan'an, Guangwei and Longxi counties, the government's grain inventory, land and other matters.

Since the pseudo-Wei subdivided the four counties of Longyou under Yongzhou, we may not make many changes for the time being. I still intend to set up all officials of the Yongzhou Governor's Office according to the old system, so we must first have a detailed understanding of the civil affairs of the four counties."

Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing this. Zhuge Liang was preparing to set up Yongzhou, which means that Ji Hanhui added a large number of new official positions.

In the past, the imperial court had only one place, and the officials had to be scattered in the court. The Prime Minister's Mansion and the Yizhou Patriarch's Mansion were placed in the court, which was quite redundant. Now, with Yongzhou, a group of officials could be divided and placed, which is beneficial to everyone.

Of course, there are certain official positions, and those who are determined to serve in Yongzhou will have a fight. After all, there are still vague factions in the court.

Even though Prime Minister Zhuge used his extraordinary political talent and prestige to control the power struggle in the court to a certain extent, some people would not give up this fat piece of Yongzhou easily.

Everyone had different thoughts, and Zhuge Liang said again: "Now that Zhang He's 50,000 troops have all been eliminated. In the short term, no large army should be attacked by Cao Wei, but our army is extremely tired after repeated battles, so the army urgently needs rest.

However, the grain in the inner palace of Shangbi City was almost empty, and the wheat fields outside the city were not yet harvested, so they could not support so many soldiers to eat. In addition, there were tens of thousands of prisoners who were surrendered, so the pressure on food and grass was even greater, so I wanted to let the army stationed in various places to rest and recuperate."

After pausing, he looked at Wei Yan and said, "Long Wen, you will lead the troops of your headquarters to Guangwei to garrison. You can rest and rest or support Ziyuan nearby."

"No." Wei Yan replied with his fists.

Zhuge Liang continued: "As for Mingzhi's rear army, Zijun led him to Jicheng for rest."

Yang Qing and Wang Pingqi claimed that it was. Yang Qing wanted to stay at Shangqi to assist Zhuge Liang in handling military affairs and civil affairs, so he could not leave.

The rear army and the front army had a total of 13,000 people, accounting for more than half of the Shangji army. After transferring these two troops, the logistics pressure of Shangji was reduced too much, and Zhuge Liang only left the central army to protect him.

"Prime Minister, Zhang He's army was defeated by our army, and the people of Longyou will definitely surrender even more. The surrounding Wei army must be frightened. The Qing thought it was time for General Zhonghua to join forces with a group of Qiang and Di tribes, Wudu, and the Yinping counties were recovered." Yang Qing offered his advice.

At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, in order to quickly complete the purpose of attacking Longyou, Zhuge Liang did not pay much attention to the Wudu and Yinping counties passing by, but asked Ma Dai to lead his army to join the Zhonghan tribe to surround the Cao Wei government in each city, in case they informed and destroy the army's food route.

Now that the situation in Longyou has been settled, Yang Qing thought it was time to collect these two counties. There were not many Wei troops in these two counties, and Ma Dai and others could completely recover independently with the power of great victory.

Zhuge Liang thought about it and felt that this was the reason. Not only did he regain these two counties, they expanded their territory and increased their population, but more importantly, they could connect Hanzhong and Longyou, and the army's food supply would be smoother. So he immediately asked Yang Yi to order Ma Dai to take the opportunity to send troops.

Seeing that Yang Qing repeatedly offered strange plans, Ma Su was not willing to fall behind and bowed and said, "Prime Minister, in the army, except for the generals who were fighting against rebels, only the old general Zilong had war. Now that Longyou has been restored, he no longer had to restrain Cao Zhen. Can General Zilong retreat to Hanzhong at the right time?"

"I always remind you that the only thing I am concerned about now is the Right Army. I cannot let Zilong and the others confront Cao Zhen anymore. They are afraid that they will reach the limit." Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "I ordered Zilong and Bo Miao to order them to withdraw from Hanzhong at the right time to rest."

Yang Yi, who was standing beside him, quickly responded: "Yes."

Yang Qing also had a thought when he heard this. In history, Zhao Yun's suspicious soldier was defeated in Jigu and was forced to retreat to Hanzhong. Although Zhao Yun responded calmly and cut off his back personally, the losses of personnel and military funds were not large, but the hundreds of miles of plank road north of Chijiao were forced to burn to stop the enemy's pursuit, which led to Zhuge Liang being unable to attack from Baoxie Road for a long time later.

"It seems that Hanzhong must be prepared to pick up General Zilong and others, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Jigu's failure and the destruction of the plank road." Yang Qing thought to himself.

Everyone discussed it for nearly an hour before they dispersed. On the second day, good news came again, which made Zhuge Liang and others feel even more happy.

It turned out that Gao Gang, the Wei general of Qishan Fort, who was preparing to surrender to the Han Dynasty, finally made up his mind to lead his army to surrender after several days of procrastination. He has now come down from Qishan Fort and handed over the defense at the fort to Chen Shi.

As for why he became so happy, he heard that Zhang He's army was destroyed and the situation in Longyou was settled. Zhuge Liang did not blame him for his delay, but still ordered him to lead his army to Lucheng and let him come to the city to receive rewards.

At this point, the entire four counties of Longyou finally returned to the hands of the Han Dynasty.

After these days of fermentation, the news that Zhang He's reinforcements were completely wiped out by the Han army spread all around. The powerful gentry from Tianshui, Guangwei, Nan'an and even Longxi offered food and wealth to the Han army, and countless scholars came to serve.

For a time, those who were on both ends of the rat disappeared, and the people in Longyou returned to the Han Dynasty.

"I didn't expect that Zhang He's 50,000 infantry and cavalry could not defeat the Shu army... No... it was the Han army, but it was killed and wiped out. It was incredible!" In Xiangwu City, You Chu put down Shu Jian and couldn't help but sigh.

When he received the news of Zhang He's defeat, he felt extremely complicated. He didn't know whether it was a loss or a glory, but then he thought that he was already Ji Han's prefect of Longxi, so he left behind the loss.

"Yongjing, you quickly selected 1,500 horses, and sent one thousand to Shangqi to offer them to Prime Minister Zhuge, and the remaining 500 were given to Yang Junhou's rear army." Ma Yong, the general of You Chu, called the chief of the Shinshu, and ordered.

Ma Yong bowed and said, and asked softly: "My husband is this..."

You Chu glanced at him and said, "Prime Minister Zhuge annihilated tens of thousands of troops of the pseudo-Wei army. He can't show his expression of the loyalty of the Longxi County. He offered his horses to show his loyalty to the Han Dynasty." You Chu said lightly: "As for Yang Junhou, he has the kindness of preserving our Longxi military and civilians, he must do his best."

"Yes, I understand."

Ma Yong knew that his family's king had now made up his mind to continue in Ji Han's officialdom. If they surrendered ministers wanted to make a difference, they would naturally find a backer in the court.

After thinking about it, Yang Qing, who led his army to collect some incest, Yang Qing, and others, was naturally the most suitable backer.
