Chapter 301: Reward and Punishment

The victory ensued many ripple effects.

The ambush battle outside Qiuzi City is not a battle of one city, it is just a fight in a corner of the entire chessboard.

The real big picture is not in Anxi, but in the two towns of Hexi and Longyou. The role of the 30,000 Tibetan army that captured Khotan and turned to Qiuci and Yanqi was to contain the forces of Anxi and Beiting Duhufu, and the main army of Tubo really wanted to attack Hexi and Longyou.

However, this big victory commanded by Gu Qing disrupted the chess game in the entire Western Regions.

As soon as the 30,000 Tubo army captured Khotan, 20,000 were annihilated by Gu Qingquan, and more than half of the remaining 10,000 went to Yanqi, Gao Xianzhi led the Anxi army to wait for them in Yanqi calmly, if nothing else, this 10,000 Tubo army was also the end of the annihilation of the whole army.

A well-arranged game of chess, the first opportunity was lost at the beginning, and the 30,000 Tubo army was like sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and there was no return. So does Tubo still dare to gather heavy troops to attack Hexi and Longyou?

Gu Qing thought about it for a long time, if the Tubo coach was not mentally retarded, he should decisively cancel the attack plan.

The annihilation of the 30,000 Tibetan army was already a heavy blow to the Tibetans, and it is certain that the Tibetans would not dare to make any more big moves in two or three years.

Therefore, the significance of Gu Qing's victory is not only to annihilate the enemy, but to use his strength to extinguish Tubo's plan to enter the Tang Dynasty and eliminate a greater military disaster.

The soldiers below only saw this victory in their eyes, and quietly folded their fingers to count how much reward they could get, but Gu Qing saw further.

What Gu Qing can see, Li Longji, who is far away in Chang'an, can also see that this victory is of great significance, how will Li Longji reward him?

From the bottom of his heart, Gu Qing didn't want Li Longji to be rewarded, and it was best to treat it as if nothing had happened.

The more rewards, the higher the officials, the more suspicious Li Longji will be of him, the troubled times are coming, Gu Qing would rather be a low-key marquis, and develop his strength quietly, rather than being too eye-catching and being noticed by the monarchs and ministers of Chang'an.

After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, in order to extinguish the war, the imperial court sealed all kinds of official positions and titles as if they didn't need money, and in less than two years, the official positions and titles would become like worthless rotten cabbage, and Gu Qing was not interested in this.

What's the most important thing in two years' time?

It is the soldiers in hand, the territory, and the strength to influence the situation.

When the strength reaches a peak state, the official position and title can be written and sealed by yourself.

On the third day after the war, all kinds of aftermath matters have been dealt with, and the list of various rosters such as war losses and prisoners and trophies after the inventory has been presented to Gu Qing, and they are reviewed, verified, reviewed, etc., these tedious things Gu Qing must do by himself.

The day after all the soldiers returned to Qiuzi City, Gu Qing summoned all the soldiers to loudly announce the military merit rankings of this battle on the school ground.

The military exploits of Chang Zhong and other major generals were reported to the imperial court, and were not included in this list.

The object of the military merit ranking is ordinary soldiers, according to the rewards announced before the war, a total of one hundred and ten were awarded, the first meritorious person is a young man in his early twenties in the left guard, this person is a marksman, he hid in the shadows in this battle, and shot a total of about 30 Tubo generals, it can be said that he disrupted the command system of half of the Tubo army with the power of one person, and laid the groundwork for the defeat and retreat of the Tubo army, which was personally determined by Gu Qing as the first merit.

Fifty taels of silver cakes were handed over to the young marksman by Gu Qing in front of all the soldiers, and Gu Qing announced that he would ask the court for credit, and this marksman would be promoted to military attachΓ©, attracting countless envious eyes from all the soldiers.

The purpose of gathering soldiers is not only to reward merit, but also to punish them.

After the reward, the guards escorted more than ten left guard soldiers to the front of the stage and knelt down, Gu Qing announced with a cold face that these more than ten people violated the military order, escaped from the battle, and turned their horses in the ambush of the Tubo army and fled in the direction of Qiuzi City without permission, which almost shook the morale of the army and caused irreparable consequences. In order to strictly enforce military discipline and follow the example of those who come after him, he should be beheaded for his crimes.

After the announcement, Gu Qing gave an order, more than ten heads fell to the ground, and all the soldiers in the school field were silent, and they found that the young coach was not only generous, but also very vicious, so everyone became more and more in awe of Gu Qing.

After the reward and punishment, Gu Qing ordered the disbandment, and after resting for five days, he began his daily practice as usual.

The Khotanese army was completely included in the Left Guard Army by Gu Qing and became part of the Left Guard Army.

Gu Qing solicited Shen Tian's opinion beforehand, and after this battle, Shen Tian was quite convinced by Gu Qing, and agreed without saying a word, and from then on, the Khotanese army officially belonged directly to Gu Qing.

Two days later, good news came from Yanqi Town, Gao Xianzhi led more than 10,000 Anxi troops to annihilate 10,000 Tubo troops outside Yanqi City, so far, the 30,000 Tubo troops who invaded the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty were all wiped out, and none of them went back.

A good report was sent to Chang'an, and at the same time, the captured Tibetan commander Qi Zhapu and some surrendered Tibetan generals were also escorted to Chang'an for prisoners.

This belongs to the scope of sycophancy, after the Tubo coach arrives in Chang'an, he will become a talking point for Li Longji to show off his martial arts, and maybe he will let the boss dance for the monarch and the minister at a certain banquet, in short, he will be extremely humiliating.

After all the aftermath was dealt with, Gu Qing still moved to the Zuowei camp outside the city, and only in the Zuowei camp did he sleep comfortably.

Interestingly, on the third day after the victory in Yanqi Town, Bian Lingcheng returned to Qiuzi City.

This prison army is the most hard-working prison army in ancient times, the other prison soldiers are all powerful, even the commander has to look at the face of the prison army, but Bian Lingcheng was miserable by a pack of laxatives, not only dehydrated and rescued by the doctor, but also seriously delayed the plan.

On Gu Qing's way back to Qiuci City, Bian Lingcheng followed behind and chased desperately, helplessly walking all the way, the power of the laxative for three people was extraordinary, Bian Lingcheng finally lost half of his life, and he couldn't catch up with Gu Qing's ambush battle in a short distance to Qiuci City.

Halfway through, Bian Lingcheng couldn't stand it anymore, and thought that Gu Qing dared to do this to him, he might not be murderous to him, if Gu Qing casually found an excuse to kill him quietly when he was in chaos, and reported to Chang'an that he was martyred, where would Bian Lingcheng go to shout injustice?

Bian Lingcheng didn't doubt at all that Gu Qing would definitely be able to do such a thing, this young magnate was lawless and dared to do anything, to be honest, Bian Lingcheng was a little scared, especially after taking laxatives, Bian Lingcheng had a personal experience of Gu Qing's methods.

So Bian Lingcheng, who was halfway there, decisively decided to change his route and go to Yanqi Town instead.

Gao Xianzhi is more honest, he will not give himself laxatives.

As Gao Xianzhi wished before the war, the border supervision army returned, and the two met in the camp, it must have been a happy meeting, and Gao Xianzhi may have shed tears of joy.

After the victory of Yanqi Town, Bian Lingcheng had to return to Qiuzi City, the overall situation of the Anxi Army had been decided, but he couldn't rest assured that he couldn't rest assured that all the losses after the war, the harvest, the number of enemies killed, and other results, Bian Lingcheng had to personally look at it, and no false reports were allowed.

Zuo Wei rested for five days, Gu Qing also rested for five days, these five days just ate and drank in the handsome tent, woke up drunk, woke up drunk, groggy and sank for five days, very comfortable, found the feeling of taking the National Day holiday in the previous life.

Waking up early in the morning, Gu Qing stretched his waist and walked out of the tent, just about to ask the guards to fetch water and wash, and the guards came to report, and the supervising army Bian Lingcheng asked to see him outside the gate of the camp.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, then turned his face to look at Han Jie, spread his hands and said: "Look at it, I will say that the life of the border supervisor is very hard, and it will definitely not be able to pull it to death, sure enough, as I wish, the border supervisor army is still alive, according to my opinion, the border supervisor army will change its name in the future, and change its name to 'Bian Qiang'......"

Han Jie smiled bitterly: "It's the last general who underestimated the border supervision army. ”

Gu Qing said maliciously: "Next time, you can get a laxative for five people to try...... In fact, I would like to know what the limits of the border prison army are. ”

Han Jie's face was pale, and he clenched his fists to the sky and said awe-inspiringly: "The last general swears a poisonous oath to this sky, to this land, and to the vast desert!" …… In this life, I will never do the dirty things of the medicine pit people again! ”

"Next time after the drug, I will ask you to prostitute the most beautiful girl in Qinglou for five days, how about it?" Gu Qing said calmly.

Hanjie: "............"

"If I hesitate, I'll ask someone else for help, and the next medicine is not a scarce job, so who will do it."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Consideration will be given to the end. "Han Jie's reserved authenticity.

Gu Qing sighed, since Han Jie followed him, this guy's discipline fell off a cliff, Guo Ziyi said that Han Jie was upright and unsophisticated, and he really wanted to pull General Guo in front of him, pointed at Han Jie and asked him, is it the same person we know?

While the two were talking, Bian Lingcheng had already walked slowly.

Bian Lingcheng's complexion was not very good, his face was pale, his steps were vain, as if he was stepping in the clouds, he stopped after a few steps, secretly tried to improve his sphincter, and then continued to walk, looking very hard.

Gu Qing personally greeted the handsome tent, and bowed his hand to Bian Lingcheng in surprise: "Don't come to the border prison army without harm, you don't see the prison army for a day, like every three autumns." ”

Bian Lingcheng's face was angry: "Gu Houye, the slave and maid have never offended you, why did you murder the slave and maid?" ”

Gu Qing blinked in amazement: "I murdered you?" Why did the border supervisor say this? ”

"What did you do with your meals before you went back to Guizi City?"

"Hands and feet? The food was served by the guards, you ate it, I ate it, what can I do? There is something I want to ask the border supervision army, saying that I will go to Qiuzi City together, I waited left and right in front, and I didn't see the figure of the border supervision army for a long time, so I specially ordered the army to wait for half a day, and almost delayed the fighter, shouldn't the border supervision army give me an explanation? ”

Bian Lingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "Let me explain...... Gu Houye, Ming people don't say secret words, slaves and maids know that you don't like people to supervise the army, but the supervision of the army is the duty of the slaves and maids, and it is the will of His Majesty to the slaves and maids, even if you don't like it anymore, the prison army still exists, and you and I have no choice. ”

Gu Qing was stunned and said: "I don't object to the prison army, everything must be said to people, I am loyal to Datang and His Majesty, even if a hundred prison soldiers are staring at me, loyalty is loyalty, no matter how many prison troops there are, I am not afraid." Border Guard, don't misunderstand my sincerity to you. ”
