Chapter 698: The Young Phoenix Clears the World (1)
Although Gao Yuan wanted to rush back to Jishi City for the New Year, he was still dragged down by the many government affairs of the Hetao after the war, Yan begged to leave, so that the Eastern Army completely controlled the Hetao, and the most daring sentinels of the Eastern Army even appeared on the periphery of Ningyuan, which made some of the Donghu tribes who were still stranded in the Hetao had to retreat in a hurry. Even the 5,000 palace guards led by Yan Qi finally hated Hetao, and those small tribes thought that they did not have the strength to compete with the Eastern Expeditionary Army, so they could only choose to withdraw from this fertile land.
After the victory, the middle and lower classes of the Eastern Army were jubilant, for them, this was not only a victory over Donghu, but also a white flower of silver, black oily land. The rewards after the war have been issued, of course, not all, because the current Gao Yuan is also very poor, this battle, he won the land and the future, but did not earn a silver tael, it is not an exaggeration to say that his pocket is cleaner than his face.
Nearly 30,000 Zhao prisoners of war sent from Daijun greatly made up for the problem of insufficient manpower in Hetao, and these were all strong men, who were reorganized, built forts, and resettled these people, which took up a lot of time. These captured Zhao troops have traveled a long distance and are exhausted, but there are so many of them, how to place them is also a problem, they don't have the energy to make trouble now, but it doesn't mean that they will always be so obedient.
Xu Yuan and Yan Peng's request to replenish the soldiers from these prisoners of war was rejected by Gao Yuan, in his opinion, these Zhao soldiers did not take root in the Hetao, and it was extremely dangerous to let them join the army before they completely identified with the Eastern Army, unlike those prisoners of war in Yuyang County, they themselves were Yan people, and they had the same roots and origins as the Eastern Army. There is not much sense of repulsion psychologically, and these Zhao army and Yan army have not fought less, and Zhao Guo's national strength is far superior to Yan Guo, so that these Zhao troops have always had a sense of superiority in psychology, and if they don't knock out their sense of superiority, they won't realize the gap between them and the Eastern Army from the root, they will never be honest.
For the time being, they can only be allowed to farm, and at the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the propaganda of the policy of the Eastern Army in the Hetao. The stick and the carrot are smashed at the same time, and after a long time, a group of people will slowly be assimilated.
And the more important strategy was for Gao Yuan to send most of these Zhao troops to the east of the Liao River to Tunshan and build a city, where everyone faced a common enemy, the Donghu people. Gao Yuan believes. Between the Eastern Army and the Donghu people, these prisoners of war would make a wise choice.
Chen Bin's injuries were not yet healed, and his head was wrapped in a thick strip of cloth, so that he could not even wear a helmet. His face was covered with freshly crusted blood, and one arm was still hanging from his arm, which made him look like a wolf, but his face. At this time, he was full of joy, and the new military uniform on his body showed that he had been promoted, and now. He was the commander of the Third Division of the First Army of the Northern Field Group Army of the Eastern Army.
On the east bank of the Liao River, a battle was sown, which made him stand out and let Gao Yuan appreciate it.
"Yesterday, the Supervision Yuan just sent a report, your family, and Luo Weiran's family, we have all received Jishi City, where is the new house for them, although it is not very big, but it is enough for them to live." Looking at the general in front of him, Gao Yuan said with a pleasant face. "As soon as it is supplied, it will be delivered to them on time according to your level, and you can rest assured."
"Thank you, Governor." Chen Bin is grateful, as a general of the former Yan State, he became a prisoner, and it is inevitable that his family will inevitably suffer in the country, after he was saved, he devoted himself to the Eastern Army, of course, he also heard about the contradictions between the Eastern Army and the imperial court, and he became bigger and bigger in the Eastern Army, and his military achievements were more and more, but he was afraid that the more he would be jealous, which was also the common concern of him and Luo Weiran.
Now that Gao Yuan has solved this trouble for him, the last bit of contact with the Yan Kingdom court has also collapsed, and at this time, he has no Yan Kingdom court in his heart at all, but only the young governor in front of him. In the Eastern Army, he finally found his value. In less than two years, he went from a prisoner of war, a person who was rescued by the Eastern Army to nothing, and went straight to the current position of division commander.
As Xu Yuan told him at the beginning, as long as you make military achievements, no one will dare to erase your achievements in the Eastern Army.
"Those who originally followed you, who have died in battle, we will send the silver to them with the death of the Eastern Army, if they are willing to come to my Eastern Mansion, we will also give them land, houses, and those who are still alive, we will also try to take their families over, of course, this is a relatively huge project, not a short period of time to complete, so, you also need to tell your subordinates, be patient, the Eastern Army will not treat any of the warriors who dare to fight for the Eastern Army."
"Thank you to the Governor, with this alone, those soldiers who came with his subordinates will be desperate to serve the Governor." Chen Bin said seriously.
Gao Yuan waved his hand, "No thanks, this is what you deserve, this time, if it weren't for your hard work in Dubo, we wouldn't have been able to turn the tide of the battle so quickly, so you are the first to win this time." ”
"The subordinates don't dare to be, if there is no battle for Division Commander Luo to go out of the city to the death, and there is no Helan Division's hundred-mile attack, the subordinates' corpses and bones are cold at this time." Chen Bin bowed and said.
"Don't be modest!" Gao Yuan laughed, "Because you stick to it and never give up, this is their chance." Chen Bin, you and Luo Weiran are different from the generals under my original command, you are more professional, you have received systematic military training, you are familiar with military books, and you have a much stronger grasp of the overall situation, and the future of the Eastern Army depends more on you. ”
"Commander Xu's talent is greatly admired by his subordinates." Chen Bin became a little uneasy.
Gao Yuan nodded with satisfaction, Chen Bin and Luo Weiran are not only superhuman, but they are also cautious in terms of being people, which is a good thing, at least they will not have any major conflicts with some generals in the Eastern Army.
"You are familiar with the Hetao, and you have been operating on the east bank for a long time, this battle has been fought hard, and it should have been a long vacation for you, so that you can go back to Jishi City to reunite with your family for a while, but you also know the current situation of the Hetao, and you will never be separated from this place. So this time it's going to be hard for you, your division is going to the front again, and it's still a division that is extremely short of personnel, with a total of only more than 2,000 people, but you are in charge of 5,000 Zhao army prisoners of war in Tuntian, do you have any difficulties? Gao Yuan asked.
Chen Bin shook his head, "No, Du Du, although there are only 2,000 soldiers, but these 2,000 people, but they are all veterans who have fought bad battles and experienced life and death, and their combat power is strong, those 5,000 Zhao army prisoners of war are far away from their homeland, and they are in a panic, and that place is also close to Ningyuan in Donghu, I am not afraid that they will make any trouble, and more importantly, Du Dudu's strategy can even bow down to the barbaric Huns, and it is not a problem to influence these prisoners." ”
"The policy is good, but people still need to do it!" Gao Yuan said: "So I named you to go, these Zhao army captives are all our Central Plains Huaxia people, how to discipline them, you still have to think about it, in a short period of time, if your team wants to expand the number of soldiers, you may have to come from among them, but there is one thing you must remember, if you don't agree with our Eastern Army, no matter how high your ability is, we don't want it." ”
"My subordinates understood."
"If you are in Tengger, you will inevitably become a thorn in the side of the Donghu people, they must want to pull it out and then quickly, other places may be calm, where are you, it must be ups and downs, friction is constant, what do you want, just put it forward."
Chen Bin thought for a moment, "There are two requirements for subordinates, one of which is that the grain and grass must be received in the first half of next year, and in the second half of the year, I believe that the subordinates can basically be self-sufficient, and the subordinates want the best weapons." ”
"No problem."
"Second, the subordinates hope that the governor can send some people who can speak well and are well versed in the laws and regulations of the Eastern Army, as well as rewards and punishments, to the subordinate army."
Gao Yuan's eyes flashed, "You want to preach these things among the Zhao army's prisoners of war?" ”
"Yes!" Chen Bin owes his body, "Although the national strength of Zhao State is strong, the domestic situation is not much different from that of Yan State, these soldiers, I am afraid the situation is similar, unless they are forced to do so, there are not many people who are willing to be soldiers, and you also know that in this world, the conquests are continuous, and human life is like a mustard, if they understand the benefits of being a soldier in the Eastern Army, then it will be easier to transform them." ”
After saying this, looking at Gao Yuan's silence, he was a little apprehensive, "Of course, this is just a little shallow opinion of his subordinates, if the governor thinks it is not necessary, then I don't want it." ”
"No, it's necessary!" Gao Yuan waved his hand and said, "You reminded me that this matter must be treated as a major matter. If done well, the results may be even better than the effect of an army. ”
Chen Bin's mention reminded Gao Yuan of an army in his previous life, in this army, there are some departments such as literary and artistic propaganda, and some policies are preached in a form that the common people like to see, which has played a great role, even after decades of taking charge of state power, these departments still exist and play a huge role, he can't help but pat his brain, such a thing, he actually wants Chen Bin to remind.
