The next day, Pingliang City, in the palace.

It was originally the residence of the chieftains of the Kash tribe, and it was also the highest authority in Pingliang City; Since Tang Bi led the army to capture Pingliang last night, this mansion has been occupied by Tang Bi.

"General, there are a few freed slave heads who want to see you." Hou Ji walked into the lobby and reported to Tang Biyu.

"What slave heads, pay attention to words, since they were rescued by us, they are no longer slaves, but the people of Yongzhou." Tang Bi scolded Hou Jidao.

Tang Bi's voice was relatively loud, and even the few slave heads who were waiting outside the lobby could hear it, and several people were moved by the mess, and their noses were full of tears.

"Go, get a few of them in." Tang Bi then said to Hou Ji.

Hou Ji trotted outside the hall and invited a few people in; Six of them came in, sallow and thin, and each of them was dressed in tatters, his clothes were washed white, and there was a lot of pudding.

The leader was an old man in his fifties, with gray hair and beard, and the other five were not young, in their forties; You don't need to think about it to know that these six people are the heads of the Han people in the city, and they can also be called the 'three elders'.

When the six of them saw Tang Bi, they immediately knelt down and said, "The grass people see the general, thank you for the general's rescue!" ”

"A few old people, please get up; Hou Ji on tea. Tang Bi helped the old man up and said, "Old man, sit down!" ”

The old man who was helped up was a little flattered and overwhelmed, and said in a trembling voice: "General, how dare the old man treat him like this as a general......

"Old man, you don't have to be polite." Tang Bi was a little respectful and said: "You are an elder, and this age is about the same as my grandfather; I wonder what happened when the old man came to see me? ”

"General, we're just here to ask, what can we do?" The old man asked in a trance.

When Tang Bi saw the old man's appearance, he knew that the old man was not telling the truth, Tang Bi was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he still said: "If there is anything you need help with, I will send someone to inform you; If there is nothing else to do, please go back! ”

When the old man heard that Tang Bi had ordered the eviction of customers, he was a little panicked; "This ......"

Seeing the old man's stumbling appearance, Tang Bi continued to ask with some sternness: "Old man, if there is anything to say, as long as it is Ben who can help, it is impossible to give up. ”

"Actually, we have always asked if the general will be stationed in Pingliang City in the future." The man sitting here spoke.

"Ben will not be stationed in Pingliang, and we will return soon; When the time comes, the people of the city will migrate to Longzhou with me. Tang Bi said bluntly.

"What? Let us go? Another man jumped up as if he had been stepped on his tail and said, "How can you do this?" We have lived in Pingliang for generations, how can you let us leave, this is too unreasonable! ”

"Second baby, shut up." The old man at the head scolded the man.

"General, we have lived here for generations, and we really don't want to leave, if we want to leave, we will leave back then." The old man felt that Tang Bi said that he wanted to leave before was nothing more than to scare and scare them, in order to collect more taxes; "See if you can be accommodating, we can pay taxes."

The old man's words were very vague, and the subtext meant, 'We have lived here for generations, and now that this place has been recovered by the Great Qi, we don't have to leave, anyway, you have to garrison here, and we will pay you money.' ’

However, Tang Bi did not understand the old man's words; If Guo Qi had ordered him to treat the rescued Han people well, Tang Bi would have blasted these people out a long time ago; You must know that Tang Bi is in control of this army, and letting these people move away is a matter of one sentence, and there is no need to use the current tone of discussion, if they don't move or escape, it will be disobedience, and Tang Bi will have a good reason even if he kills them.

And these people were rescued by Tang Bi's department, although they were slaves in the hands of the Kash department before, they also belonged to part of the Kash department, and belonged to the spoils of Tang Bi's department. In troubled times, human life is like a mustard!

Tang Bi said with a dark face: "It's okay if you don't want to leave, anyway, our army will leave in two days, and you can go wherever you want when the time comes!" Hou Ji send-off. ”

"General, aren't you all recovering your coolness? Why do you want to leave!" The old man was frightened and said, "What are we going to do when you are gone?" ”

In fact, the old man knew very well in his heart that without the blessing of Tang Bi's army, they would not be able to survive in Pingliang at all; Maybe as soon as the Yongjun army left on the front foot, the Xirong army or the bandits would be killed on the back foot, and they would not even have a chance to resist at that time.

"Please, a few people!" Hou Ji said to a few people.

The old man and the other five people didn't go out, but knelt down to Tang Bi with a 'poof' and said, "General, you have pity on the poor people!" You can't go! ”

Tang Bi's patience had long been worn out, and he said very indifferently: "Ben Jiang has made it very clear just now, either obey Ben General's order to move to Longzhou, or stay and wait for death, you choose for yourself;

By the way, if you choose to move to Longzhou, you will be allocated houses, land, cattle, seeds, etc., and you will go back and discuss it carefully, and after a while, someone will be sent to post a notice in the city, and you can go and see for yourself when the time comes. ”

After sending a few people away, Hou Ji said to Tang Biyan: "Why are the generals so polite to them!" Directly give an order, and those who disobey the military order will be killed directly. ”

"Alright, shut up!" Tang Bi said angrily: "Hurry up and send someone to post a notice." ”

"I knew that I would have asked the lord for two shows before I came." After Hou Ji left, Tang Bi muttered.

After a while, a small soldier came in and reported: "General Yu, Captain Xu and Captain Jia ask to meet." ”

"Let them in!"

"See the general." The two of them saluted as they entered.

"The two of you are exempt, is there anything to do with coming to Ben?"

"General Yu, just now the two of us discussed a way to divide a small number of troops, and we are here to report to the general." Xu Shan said.

"What's the solution? Tell me about it? Tang Bilai said spiritually.

"General, we can completely follow the strategy that the lord implemented in Huangyuan City, but we need to be slightly flexible." Jia Shen spoke first: "We can mobilize the people of Pingliang, recruit a part of the township soldiers from among them, and we will send people to command an escort team, and the rest of the people will be organized into a people's support, and they will escort the captured baggage to the Huating camp;

We can tell these people that as long as they cooperate with us, we will be able to get land, houses, and cattle first......"

"Hmmm! Yes, this is a good idea. Tang Bi was overjoyed and said, "I'll leave this matter to the two of you!" Since there is such a good way, why don't we also make it bigger. ”
