Chapter 32: The Wind Rises at the End of Qingping

After taking Guangling, Xu You sent scouts, tightly sealed the news, and still recruited the counties to escort money and grain to meet in the name of the king of Hengyang. Originally, before An Xiuyuan set out on the expedition, he used Guangling as a base to hoard grain and grass equipment, but the time was tight, and most of the counties and counties that were recruited were still on the way to hurry.

After ideological education, the scientific name is coercion and temptation, the nine counties in the southeast and west of Xuzhou are all attached, Xu You transferred people from the army, took over the military power of each county, and handed over administrative matters to the county guard, but deprived them of the right to recruit, recruit and train soldiers.

In addition, a prisoner of war camp was set up outside Guangling City, but Xu You thought that the word prisoner of war insulted the dignity of the Xuzhou army, so he changed the inscription to the Guiyi camp, and divided more than 16,000 prisoners into 16 teams, one team of 1,000 people, and the Supervision Department began to carry out systematic brainwashing and reform.

The process of transformation is very simple, specifically the three-plate axe:

The first board axe, first talk about loyalty and patriotism, the king of Jiangxia and the king of Linchuan are held high, boasting more saints than saints, not very down-to-earth, focusing on Xu You, how wise and martial, how to be fair and strict, how to serve the country and the people, how to love soldiers like sons. Then the process of An Xiuming, An Xiuyuan and others killing their fathers and usurping the throne was artistically processed, and the place that should be smeared should be blacker than charcoal, and the cruel place should be more than the king of Shang and the king of Song Kang.

At that time, Xu You, a group of storytellers, had been secretly raised, and this time, he also took precautions with the army with 20 people. As the villain, An Xiu clearly and secretly carried a pot heavier than the water of the Qinhuai River, even the birds and beasts are inferior, even if he comes to listen to it, he has to be angry and bleeding.

Most of the armies of this era had serious phenomena of eating empty salaries and drinking soldiers' blood, and other things such as enslaving soldiers, wanton beatings and scolding, cruel corporal punishment, and so on were commonplace. After careful investigation, the Supervision Department carefully selected 30 representative cases and asked the parties to come to the stage to complain.

“…… Liu Chun, a hundred generals, because my brother did not want to participate in robbing the people's grain and rice, was hung up and beaten to death by him for a day and night. The corpse was thrown into the field to feed the dogs, and the ears were cut off for everyone to see, and the curse said that whoever dared to disobey would end up ......"

“…… Tun Commander Yang Xianzhi, that expedition to suppress the bandits, the four wounded soldiers in Tongtun slowed down the speed of the march, he actually deceived the four people to the edge of the cliff, one of them smashed a stick behind the head, kicked them down, and then reported that he died in battle, and received the funeral expenses of four unjustly killed robes......"

“…… Cheng Rong, the master of the building, my fellow villager who left the camp and drowned, because he was too anxious and did not ask for instructions, according to military law, he only needed to be punished with a cane five times, but he was imprisoned by Cheng Rong in a dark room, and he personally carried a knife and skinned it, and wrapped it in human skin for the tiger to drown ......"

“…… The military marquis Liang Changyi likes to prostitute children, and there are countless soldiers in his department who have been insulted by him......"

“…… I once saw him break into a house at night, cut a girl under the age of seven with a knife, and tortured him to death......"

“…… Captain Hu Song, who loves to eat people's hearts, whenever his subordinates make mistakes, they will cut off their heads, dig their hearts for their own use, divide their corpses, cook meat and eat ......"

All of this is shocking, even if many Xuzhou soldiers are accustomed to being oppressed and enslaved, but when they really hear these tragic and evil things, they all cry heartbreakingly, some are in pain, some faint on the spot, and they have demanded severe punishment for these once high-ranking officials.

The Supervision Department complied with the will of the people, and after verifying and verifying the facts, the 67 chief officials at all levels who were most angry by the people tied up to the execution platform in the center of the barracks, read out the charges and beheaded them in public. Originally, Wang Shibi's suggestion was that the oppressed soldiers should take knives and kill these people by themselves, but Xu You didn't want the criminal law to be too bloody and harsh, otherwise, these victims today may not be the perpetrators in the future.

Perverted and tyrannical, it is a subtle psychological suggestion!

Kill these demons, and the army will be full of hearts. followed by the third board axe, publicizing the military law, system and treatment and prospects of the Cuiyu Army, those who are willing to join, will be treated equally in the future, regardless of Xuzhou or Yangzhou, they are all robes of life and death; Those who do not want to join can not be forced, they can be given money to return to their hometowns on their own, or they can be sent to various counties for resettlement, and those who want to farm land can be allocated land, and those who want to be officials can be engaged in various pro-people positions such as county lieutenants, soldiers, and thieves, and can also be county soldiers to defend their townships.

Anyway, it was arranged properly for you, and many people who were thinking of leaving were moved, changed their attention, and decided to stay and follow Xu You to fight in the Quartet.

After more than half a month of transformation, the Guiyi camp recreated 13,000 capable soldiers, and only 3,000 people left Guangling and went to various counties to settle down.

This result was beyond Xu You's expectations, and he estimated that half of the people could stay, even if it was successful, after all, this routine of the Guiyi Camp had just come out, and it was not perfect, and the brainwashing program was not perfect, but he didn't expect the effect to be so significant.

"It's all thanks to Kwon Siche!"

Wang Shibi attached great importance to Quan Siche and recommended him to study in Huchuan Hall and become the first batch of students. Xu You has not found out his strengths, until today I found out that this guy is indeed a good material for the Supervision Department, delicate, gentle and majestic, considering the problem comprehensively, but not impulsive and irritable, like this Guiyi Camp, Xu You only mentioned the general idea, and the specific operation is all in his responsibility, although it is not said to be perfect, but it can be seen that he has captured the most core thing.

As long as you can grasp the essence of everything and focus on the core, you can get twice the result with half the effort and come naturally!

Because Xu You wiped out almost all of the resistance in Xuzhou in the first battle, and stabilized the southeast and west, he began to march to the north. At the same time, the offensive and defensive battle of Jingkou has been carried out for half a month, Zhang Huai almost used the strength of the milk, and finally broke through the important town of Jingkou on August 17, after a short repair, the sailor traced the river, met Xiao Yushu's ambush in Liangshan Prefecture, after the battle, the Yangzhou army retreated thirty miles back to return to the Jingkou and Guazhou between, if it were not for the sea dragon boat speed far superior, and light and flexible, it is estimated to suffer a big loss.

The Jingzhou army in the upper reaches also encountered resistance, Tan Xiaozu and Shen Duqin led the Chinese army in Xinting to the death, Xinting changed hands three times in the past ten days, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

It turned out that Shen Du closed his door and refused to ask about the war, but Guazhou was lost, Jingkou was in danger, and the situation in Xuzhou collapsed. An Xiuming didn't dare to be arbitrary this time, followed Shen Du's advice, and sent Xiao Yushu to lead an elite sailor to ambush in Liangshan Prefecture, while he himself led the Sixth Army to garrison Xinting and face Tan Xiaozu.

The dying god of war and the rising general have launched an official duel.

Xiliang, Chang'an.

The candle shadows in the palace were swaying, and the crown prince Yao Jin was holding the decoction and personally feeding the cool lord Yao Yan. Yao Yan was angry, pushed away the soup bowl, and scolded: "When is it?" Is there a fart for drinking this kind of Rausch? ”

The soup bowl fell to the ground and shattered, adding a bit of horror to the dull and gloomy hall. Yao Jin hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Father is angry, angry, the dragon body is important......"

Yao Yan was even more angry, and said: "Burning Dangqiang is respected by the strong, your father doesn't know how many battles he has gone through to save the family business of the eighty-seven counties in these six states, west of Tongguan, all of which are the pastures of my Yao family, how can you give birth to a two-legged sheep like you?" The indecisiveness of a woman, the hypocrisy of Confucianism, and the prince for twenty years, but even your brother can't fight...... Ahem, ahem......"

Yao Jin bent his knees forward, leaned on the edge of the bed, burst into tears, and said, "My son is not filial, which worries my father." I am willing to give up the position of the crown prince to the eighth brother, he is stronger than the son, and he will inherit the majesty of my father......"

"Woman! Woman! ”

Yao Yan grabbed the jade Ruyi next to the pillow and smashed it, Yao Jin didn't dare to dodge, and with a snap, Ruyi shattered, and his forehead also bled out.

"I'm not dead yet! Who is the crown prince, I have the final say! Yao Yan struggled to prop up his upper body, and the domineering spirit that was revealed in an instant could be vaguely seen in the majesty of the vertical and horizontal pass for many years, but the days were not off, and he was riddled with illness, and it was inevitable that the hero was short of breath, looking at his son's bloody face, he still didn't dare to wipe it, he didn't dare to get up, he sighed for a long time, and lay back again, and said: "Jin'er, you are filial piety to your son, benevolent by nature, if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, you must be a generation of masters." But now that Wei is in the dragon pan and the Chu is in the tiger, I am in a corner of Daliang, and sooner or later I will become their pigs and sheep, and if I don't rise up, I will be in danger......"

Yao Jin said in a mournful voice: "That being the case, I implore my father to give an order to let the eighth brother supervise the country, lead the troops, and be the chief regent." I would like to go to Xiaoyao Yuan to be ordained as a monk, chanting and praying for my father day and night, in order to prolong my life. ”

Yao Yan closed his eyes, two lines of turbid tears rolled down, and said: "Although Yao Ji is small and has a military strategy, he is ambitious and talented, and he is used to listening and believing, let him be the prince, and within three years, the Yao family will be wiped out." Go and rest, sleep for five days and nights, and watch your own body...... Ahem, ahem...... Remember, if that day really comes, go to Zhu Zhi and Liangzhou, it will be the ...... for you to save your life."

That night, the cool lord Yao Yan died of illness, and the eunuch Luo Xun came out of the palace from a secret dog cave on the side of the palace wall in the starry night, rode a fast horse to Yiguan, saw Wen Ziyou, and spread the news of Yao Yan's death. Wen Ziyou immediately broke into Yao Ji's bed, drove away the three beautiful singers who served in the bed, and said: "Ministry commander, the lord is the dragon and bintian, the prince has blocked Chang'an City, but he is not mourning, and his heart can be punished." If my estimate is not bad, when he completely controls the situation, he will induce you to return to Beijing, and at that time, the righteousness is in hand, and you will never obey? ”

Yao Ji fidgeted in shock, grabbed Wen Ziyou's hand, and said, "What should I do?" ”

Wen Ziyou's eyes were as deep as the underworld, and he said: "The commander of the army is in power, and his prestige is higher, why bother to be a minister in the north and bow down?" It is imperative that while the prince's foothold is not stable, the Tongguan guards are not attached, and immediately lead the troops back to Beijing! ”

Yao Ji hesitated: "Father's bones are not cold, I, I do this, how will I see my ancestors and ancestors in the future?" ”

Wen Ziyou said coldly: "The head of the other marshal was cut off by the prince, the headless ghost, wandering in the wilderness, he can't even go to the underworld, what else do you say to see the ancestors and the ancestors?" ”

Yao Ji's face changed in the gloomy candle flames, sometimes bright, sometimes dark, and finally began to be hideous, he rose to his feet, pulled out his sword, cut his index finger, and dripped blood into the wine.

Wen Ziyou did the same, the blood was blended, the wine was bloody, the two drank it all, Yao Ji threw the cup on the ground, and said sharply: "It's the opposite!" ”

Outside the sleeping tent, the moon scar stood like a ghost, her gaze crossed the mountains and rivers, fell on the distant Qiantang, and the laughter on the Mingyu Mountain was already her best memory of the world.

It's just a pity that those times can't go back!
