Chapter 19: The Expedition (10)
As the main force of the Eastern Wei Dynasty entered the city of Fennan, the remaining resistance forces in the city were wiped out, including Yuwentai's nephew Yuwendao, who was swept away when the Fen River flooded and eventually drowned.
Later, the search soldiers found him on the plain not far from the city, because of the general armor on his body, the soldiers felt that this person's identity was not simple, and finally carried him back, and under the identification of the surrendered Western Wei soldiers, everyone recognized that this was Yuwentai's nephew, Yuwendao, the deputy general of Fennan City.
The first scene of the battle of Fennan City ended with the Eastern Wei army occupying the city, but this will also usher in a serious test, and soon the scout reported that Yu Wentai personally led the army to rush over, and it is estimated that the army will be able to attack Fennan City soon.
In order to prepare for the next big battle, Duan Shao simply handed over all the trivial and miscellaneous affairs in the army to Gao Yang to manage, promoted him to concurrently serve as the military gongcao, and asked him to arrange all the miscellaneous and trivial matters in the army, including pacifying the people, rectifying military discipline, logistics support and army training, etc., while Duan Shao himself began to think about the second act of the next battle of Fennan City, and issued various orders in the commander's tent to prepare.
In the cold night in the north, Gao Yang stood on the city tower, just after the end of the inspection army, he couldn't help but be attracted by the twilight scene of winter, only to see that he was holding the ring head knife worn on his waist in his left hand, pressing on the city wall with his right hand, raising his head and looking at the sky with the landlord, nestled in the Luliang Mountains and building Fennan City, shrouded by the light emitted by the sunset in the sky, as if bathed in a golden light, sacred and solemn.
"The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk" Gao Yang couldn't help but gently chant an ancient poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin, full of emotion.
Murong Shisu, who was next to him, couldn't help but light up after hearing this, and muttered this poem in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "The general is good at writing and poetry, but this poem gives people a feeling of depression, but the general has something on his mind?" ”
Gao Yang couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I didn't expect that your Murong family is a military family, and you can still understand this poem." ”
After hearing this, Murong Shisu complained a little dissatisfied: "The general should not look down on the last general, although my family is heavy on martial arts, but it is not light, my father often taught us to read more, so the last general was arranged to learn the cultural knowledge of the Han people since he was a child, and he is not a martial artist who can only dance with a knife and a stick." ”
"Haha, it's Ben General's negligence, Shi Su is indeed both civil and military, and he knows that Ben Jiang has miscellaneous matters." Gao Yang said with a smile.
After listening to Gao Yang's words, Murong Shisu respectfully knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Although the last general doesn't know what the general is thinking, as long as the last general is still alive, he will never allow others to harm the general." ”
The rest of the Baibao Xuanjia troops accompanying them also knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "Swear allegiance to the general." ”
Gao Yang was very moved in his heart, raised his hand to Murong Shisu, and said with a hearty smile: "There will be all the warriors to protect him, even if he is among the ten thousand armies, he will never retreat, and he will be invincible, everyone hurry up." ”
What he never expected was that soon after, this sentence quickly came true, but it was unexpected.
Gao Yang held Murong Shisu's hand and said solemnly: "Shisu, your father Murong Dashuai is a hero in the world, and his military ability is one of the best in my Great Wei, there will be nothing wrong, when he sees his father, I will also intercede for Murong Dashuai."
Murong Shi said with a blushing eye: "Thank you to the general for interceding for my father, and not being snubbed because I am the son of a sinner, the general's kindness will be difficult to repay in the end." ”
Gao Yang was a little ashamed when he heard this, because he knew history and Murong Shaozong's ability, so he would not reject Murong Shisu too much, otherwise if he didn't know history, would he still reuse Murong Shisu as a deputy general, he couldn't say for sure, maybe he would, but maybe not.
During this period of time, in order to appease the people and rectify military discipline, Gao Yang personally asked Duan Shao for an order to be a military judge, and he wanted to rectify military discipline well, which was very much in line with Duan Shao's wishes.
He also deeply realized that although the Eastern Wei army was by no means inferior to the Western Wei army in terms of combat effectiveness, and even stronger, it was very inferior to the Western Wei army in terms of military discipline, and a big war was about to be ushered in, and if it was not rectified, I was afraid that the people of the whole city would rise up against the Eastern Wei army, Gao Yang's proposal Duan Shao would of course not refuse, on the contrary, he was supported by Duan Shao, and directly appointed him to serve as the military Gongcao, and even gave him the right to cut first and then play.
So, before the enemy army arrived, and the war had not yet begun, Gao Yang took Duan Shao's appointment and led a hundred Baibao Xuanjia guards to personally inspect the city, and never tolerated the burning, killing and looting of the soldiers. It's not something they can afford to provoke.
On this day, Gao Yang arranged for someone to set up a banquet in a restaurant in the city, and on behalf of Duan Shao, he invited all the landlords and wealthy businessmen in the city to talk. For Gao Yang to rectify military discipline during this period of time, and executed all the Eastern Wei soldiers who plundered the people, and these landlords and wealthy businessmen were also arranged by Gao Yang to be on duty early, claiming to be protection.
Although these landlords and wealthy merchants also knew in their hearts that Gao Yang just didn't believe them, and sent troops to protect them, but in fact they were to monitor them, in case they united to make trouble, especially when the Western Wei army soon approached the city. Although the city has been locked down, and the people do not know that the second act is about to begin, the landlords in the city are very soon to know.
In fact, for Gao Yang, he does not intend to hide the news from this group of landlords, as the local landlord of the landlord snake, they must have channels to inquire about the arrival of reinforcements.
With the elongation of the battle line, Gao Yang felt that it was necessary to store some military rations, so that even if the rear could not send military ration supplies, the army could also leave more food in stock. Fortunately, the flood of Fennan City was before, and many people in the city were washed away, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, but they saved a lot of food. In addition, there was also some grain left in the granary in the city, which was taken over by Gao Yang in case of emergency.
Another warning is to avoid random disturbances in the next defensive battle city, especially to encourage the people to rebel and sabotage, which will catch the defenders off guard and have to divide their troops to defend, which will greatly reduce the strength of the army.
At this time, there was also Tang Yong himself, who originally captured Fennan City, and the three thousand iron cavalry led by Tang Yong and Fu Fu sneak attacked Yizhou City to no avail, so Gao Yang asked Duan Shao to transfer Tang Yong back to Fennan City in the name of escorting Yizhou grain and grass.
Duan Shao thought about it, so he sold his favor to Gao Yang, sent someone to recall Tang Yong, and escorted all the grain and grass in Yizhou back to Fennan City by the way, but Duan Shao did not recall Fu Fu and the three thousand iron cavalry, but arranged for them to be stationed outside the city as guerrillas, which was also considered to be able to interfere with Yuwentai's army at any time in the second act of the next Fennan War, so that the enemy army could not be distracted and unable to attack the city with all its might.
