According to statistics after the war, on the first day of the Linshui County Garrison Battle, nearly 2,000 soldiers of the militia regiment defending the city were killed and 517 were wounded, of which more than 200 were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. Such a result is tantamount to the loss of a quarter of the combat force on this day alone. And the corpses that the other party left under the city are similar to them. In the case of occupying a geographical advantage, he actually fought a one-to-one battle with the other party.

The reason is simple, no combat experience is the biggest problem.

Although the training on weekdays is very good, and the quality in all aspects is also good, but when it comes to the battlefield of flesh and blood, the actual situation is different. In this regard, Gongsun Jian did not have much to do. Qi Shi Ma Teng's bravery does not mean that their skills are stronger than others at the beginning, but they crawled over from the sea of corpses and blood after bloody battles again and again, and summed up their experience. And if these recruits want to be able to become strong, the combat level is essential. In this world, no one is born a genius, and only by continuous efforts can we find our own shining point in practice.

It's the same with war.

The bodies of the soldiers killed in the battle were disposed of and the wounded were treated as soon as possible. In addition, arrange for the people to prepare more equipment for defending the city and strengthen the city defense. Gongsun Jian summoned his main personnel to convene the first plenary meeting of the war.

The main body of the meeting is very simple, that is, how to play next.

According to Gongsun Jian's orders, Cao Gang and his five hundred men withdrew from the dock warehouse to the city to assist Qi Shi in defense. Because Cao Gang and his subordinates have been exposed in today's First World War, if the Wu army does not want to be attacked by the enemy today, it will definitely remove the military forces on the east and west sides of Linshui County first. Therefore, there is no need for Cao Gang's troops to defend the warehouse anymore, it is better to return to the city to increase the garrison force. Tian Kuo's men continued to stay outside the city, but they needed to retreat some distance, so as not to be encircled and wiped out by the Wu army.

Xie Wu's scout team remained outside the city and was responsible for providing information to the city and Gongsun Jian. The so-called cavalry of the 100 people was all handed over to Ma Teng, and he continued to attack the other side's supply lines by detouring through the rear of the Wu army. Gongsun Jian himself stayed in the city to be responsible for the overall strategy, and the task of defending the city was still in charge of Qi Shi and Ding Feng.

After assigning these tasks, Gongsun Jian once again reaffirmed his determination to live and die with Linshui County, and at the same time ordered Liu Dayuan, Zhang Han, Huang Wenyuan, Feng Huaidao and others to organize the forces in the city to meet the needs of the guards in the city anytime and anywhere.

In addition, Hu Tianyi continued to send people to contact the imperial court to assist Liu Dayuan, the magistrate of the county, to maintain law and order, and at the same time to investigate whether there were any secret talks between Wu Guo in the city, and any people who might collude with Wu Guo to betray the news of Zhou State and Linshui County, and directly kill them.

After arranging everything, Gongsun Jian personally went to the city to visit and encourage the soldiers. And announced in public the merit reward and bereavement arrangement for guarding Linshui County.

All the sergeants who participated in the defense of the city were rewarded with ten taels of silver after each battle, regardless of whether they lived or died. In wartime, one person who kills the enemy will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and those who kill five people will be promoted to captain after the war in addition to the reward. Those who cut ten people will be promoted to team officers after the war, and so on. For those who died in battle, except for those who participated in the war and received awards, each person received a pension of fifty taels of silver, and those who had minor children in the family were given a monthly subsistence allowance of one tael of silver per capita until adulthood. If there are parents who have no one to support them, the county government is responsible for providing for the elderly.

Such conditions are not unfavorable, and they are exempted from the worries of the soldiers participating in the war, even if they die in battle, their families have someone to help take care of and raise them, not to mention a considerable reward. For a while, the morale that was originally a little depressed immediately reached its peak. Many people came forward and said that they actually participated in the war to defend their homeland, and they only hoped that if they really died in the war, they would be able to take care of their families.

However, Gongsun Jian said that Linshui County is also his home, and he, like everyone, will fight the enemy to the end and defend Linshui County to the death. If the city of Linshui County is broken, then his grandson Jian will kill himself at the head of the city to thank the fathers and elders of the city.

The words are full of pride, although a little sad, but they reflect an extremely resolute conviction. That is, the city is in the people, and the city is dead.

After saying these words, Gongsun Jian once again expressed his determination in an extremely ancient way. He pulled out the three-edged dagger hidden in his boot, gently slashed his palm, and then smeared blood on his forehead, his fingers still black in the sky, and swore loudly.

Qi Shi, Ding Feng and others immediately followed Gongsun Jian and swore an oath of blood. And the surrounding militia sergeants, even those who have only been recruited for a short time, are all the same, for a time the city is arrogant, everyone can't wait for the Wu army to attack the city now, so that they can fight with each other happily, and spit out the fire in their chests.

Back at the county office, it was almost midnight. Huang Wenyuan, who had been following Gongsun Jian, gave Gongsun Jian a slap in his low voice.

"Childe, this trick is awesome tonight. Even if those soldiers were afraid of death, they would risk their lives to fight the Wu army when they turned back. ”

Gongsun Jian smiled, shook his head slightly, and then pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Huang Wenyuan to sit down. Then he said lightly: "People live for themselves." Who wants to die if they can live? But sometimes fate doesn't give you a choice. Therefore, when necessary, it is necessary to stand up and take on all this. Many times, the importance of ideological work cannot be replaced by other substances. People must have faith in life, and the power of faith is enormous. Saying that, he glanced at Huang Wenyuan and continued: "Lao Huang, why did I let you be in charge of publicity and copywriting?" First, you are suitable, with good writing and eloquence, and a flexible mind. Second, you and Zhang Han and Hu Tianyi are different. Third, I have been observing you for a long time, and you have the potential to be a good political commissar. ”

"Childe, what is a political commissar?" Huang Wenyuan asked with some confusion.

"Hehe, to put it bluntly, you have the ability to persuade people. And there is also the ability of a liar. ”

"Childe, you're joking." Huang Wenyuan said with a wry smile. But Gongsun Jian's face changed, he took out the three-edged dagger and put it on the desk on the side, and said in a cold tone: "Lao Huang, don't think you can fool everyone." I am not familiar with Luo Dayong, but I know my grandfather. Now, to be honest, maybe I can forgive you. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get out of this county office tonight. ”

As soon as Gongsun Jian's words fell, more than a dozen people came out of the two halls, led by Wei Meng, the leader of Gongsun Jian's guards.

Cold sweat broke out on Huang Wenyuan's forehead, and it took a long time before he knelt in front of Gongsun Jian, and said with a crying voice: "Son, Huang is wrong. ”

"Wrong? Can I change my mistakes? Gongsun Jian asked contemptuously.

"I can change it, as long as you let me go Huang Wenyuan and find a way to save my family. From now on, Huang's life is yours. ”

"Humph! If it weren't for the fact that your family was caught by that bastard Chen Cheng, do you think I would keep you until now? Gongsun Jian said with a cold face, and then stood up, raising his hand to support Huang Wenyuan, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Lao Huang, you have the ability, but it depends on who you sell it to. Is Chen Cheng's kind of villain suitable? Can the Yue Emperor be called a masterpiece? Even if it's my grandfather? Go down, Gou Xiaowu has spent money to rescue your family with the help of King Wei. Wei Meng, you send someone to lead Lord Huang to meet his family. ”

"Yes." Wei Meng agreed, and then looked at Huang Wenyuan, who was a little dazed.

"Let's go, Lord Huang."

At this time, Huang Wenyuan was completely confused. Not to mention how his identity Gongsun Jian found out, and his family Gongsun Jian actually got Linshui County. It seems that this thief ship can be used if it doesn't go on its own.

What happened was actually very simple, it was not Gongsun Jian who discovered Huang Wenyuan's problem, but Gongsun Jian's grandfather Gong Mohan. As the leader of the noble family and the right prime minister of the court, how can he not have a little secret power of his own. Through the news transmitted by the secret agents lurking in the palace and Chen Cheng's side, Gong Mohan found that there were several news channels about Linshui County. Among them, there are Yingwei, Jin Longwei, and Zhang Han and Huang Wenyuan, but there is another source, which makes Gonglao Xiangguo a little surprised. However, the news was soon fed back to Gongsun Jian, and Gongsun Jian secretly asked Zhao Changle to investigate, and finally compared it with the news sent by the old minister, and set the target on Huang Wenyuan.

Yes, Huang Wenyuan is a double agent. To put it bluntly, it was actually Luo Da who thought he had broken into Chen Cheng's family, but in fact, Chen Cheng found out and rebelled. The reason is very simple, Huang Wenyuan's family is very poor.

It is said that it is very poor, but in fact it is not as poor as ordinary people. After all, Huang Wenyuan's family can be regarded as one of the best in the local area, and the key is Huang Wenyuan's identity, he is a concubine. This is common in many large families. And his father died early, and the mother who was originally born as a concubine naturally would not be treated fairly, and even with him, she was abandoned by the family. Fortunately, the Huang family is not too bad, and they can at least give some rice and pocket money every month. This is also the reason why Huang Wenyuan's mother was able to train him to be admitted to the Jinshi Examination.

It stands to reason that with such a background, Huang Wenyuan should take refuge in the Chen Cheng family who advertises himself as representing the world's poor people, but Huang Wenyuan has the arrogance of a rich child in his bones. Soon emerged in a group of scholars and was favored by Luo Dayong, and after winning the list, he naturally became the target of Chen Cheng's family.

However, Chen Cheng is also an old treacherous and cunning person, and secretly sent someone to investigate Huang Wenyuan, and soon found out the fact that he was secretly dealing with Luo Da. In the end, Chen Cheng asked Huang Wenyuan's mother and wife to be brought to Beijing, so as to threaten Huang Wenyuan to obey his orders as a counter-agent.

After listening to Huang Wenyuan's narration, Gongsun Jian felt a little headache. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Huang Wenyuan and asked, "Old Huang, then do you sympathize with the poor?" Or is it a heart for the rich? ”

"If I go back to adulthood, I want to be a rich man myself, but I still sympathize with the poor psychologically." Huang Wenyuan lowered his head and replied honestly.

This Nima answer is somewhat interesting. I want to be a powerful man from above, but I sympathize with the poor in my heart. Are you kidding me? But soon, Gongsun Jian figured out Huang Wenyuan's true thoughts.

Born in a rich and noble family since childhood, but he did not eat less bitterness. So Huang Wenyuan actually hates the rich in his bones, but the class he was born in is destined for him to want to stay in the original class. But he also has a deep feeling for the toiling masses, which also caused Huang Wenyuan's deep contradictions.

"Lao Huang. You probably know better than I know about my family's situation. But ......" Speaking of this, Gongsun Jian deliberately paused. Then he stared at Huang Wenyuan and said: "The world is everyone's world, and when the people are rich, the world will be peaceful." No matter how much money and fortune you have, a peasant revolt may disappear. Do you understand this? ”
