Volume 3: Building the Foundation Chapter 81: Three Questions

The Qi army occupied Xiangzhou City, and three days have passed.

With Yu Shinan's efforts to appease, the chaos caused by the war gradually subsided.

Most of the people of Xiangzhou City, after the defeat of Taishou Yanagi Zhen, were uneasy, and many even showed signs of fleeing from this place.

After the great war, there will be great calamity.

This includes wars, diseases, and so on, and is extremely terrifying.

On the one hand, the victorious army often wantonly plundered and even slaughtered cities in the captured places. On the other hand, the accumulation of dead bodies often leads to plague and other diseases.

In such a fashionable fashion, victorious armies everywhere plundered in order to inspire the soldiers to fight and win greater victories on the battlefield.

After entering Xiangzhou City, Gao Si immediately issued an order to prohibit soldiers from disturbing the people, and violators will be killed!

This distinct and stern command was like a pebble smashing into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Some generals raised objections, saying that this order was contrary to common sense and would inevitably lead to discouragement of the army.

As soon as Gao Si heard this, he severely reprimanded, and beheaded two non-commissioned officers who violated military law, and warned the three armies:

"Kecheng will not demolish houses, destroy the enemy and not kill prisoners!"

As soon as this order came out, it quickly spread like a whirlwind among the generals of the Qi army.

Some people were disdainful, some people were surprised, but no one dared to flout the law openly, even if a few soldiers secretly still did some looting, they were soon arrested by Peng Shi with the patrol guards, and killed in public.

The bloody heads hung high above the city gates to comfort the suffering people.

This series of actions has won the hearts of the people.

Since then, the people here have believed that the Qi army in Xiangzhou has really pursued a policy of benevolence and righteousness, but the people's hearts have been determined in a few days.

Yu Shinan greatly appreciated Gao Si's post-war measures such as restraining the soldiers and implementing a pacification policy at the same time, and with his efforts, Xiangzhou gradually returned to prosperity.

For Gao Chongde, Yu Shinan gradually changed his mentality, from taking him as a friend at the beginning, to now changing to truly recognize him as the main father. As the ancients said, Shibei should be impressed for three days.

So, after settling down in Xiangzhou, Gao Si led the army back, with Yu Shinan as the commander of Jiupin County, Zhou Zhong as the captain to defend the city as an assistant, and the other armies returned to Yecheng.

Since then, the ten counties of Wei County have been completely owned by the righteous army, and they have continued to train their troops in Tuntian, and their momentum has grown.

August 28, Tongque Terrace.

After returning victorious and rewarding the soldiers, it is a celebration banquet for rewarding the generals.

Gao Si was happy in his heart, sitting on the high platform and looking at the generals from time to time, and frequently raised his glass.

Although the land of a county is small, it is also a land of foundations, and it has finally been swept down as a victor. I thought in my heart that if I want to accomplish great things, I must have clear rewards and punishments.

He also instructed Li Baiyao to start the banquet immediately.

For the banquet of the lord, of course, everyone who can come, and as for those who have made contributions, they can't wait for a long time. I saw that at the banquet, there were already people comparing the merits, and many familiar faces were chatting and dancing.

When the feast began, Gao Si stood up and went to each table to persuade wine.

The lord set up a banquet to entertain his subordinates, which was already a grace, and he personally came down to toast, which was even more touching, and everyone drank it.

Although Gao Si only drank two sips each time, he was also a little dizzy and swayed after a circle, so he went to the main seat of the main hall and rested for a while.

In the main hall, there are many generals drinking happily, and it is very lively.

Gao Si watched quietly, picked up the wine glass and played carefully, enjoying the pride of being the victor.

At this moment, Xue Yuanjing stepped forward and said something.

"What, do you want me to bury Liu Zhen?" Gao Si said in surprise.

"Yes, it must be buried." Xue Yuanjing said in a low voice, with an extremely firm attitude.

After breaking the city, the rebels killed Liu Zhen, but Gao Si didn't care about it.

But now someone actually proposed to let him worship a Sui officer who died in battle, Gao Si felt very uncomfortable. The defeated generals killed on the battlefield need to worship in person after death, which is really infuriating.

"Lord, although Liu is hateful, he is loyal to the Great Sui. He has been in Xiangzhou Mansion for five years, and has a lot of favors to the people. Commendation of loyalty is conducive to the rule of the lord! ”

Xue Yuanjing said leisurely: "By the way, the lord can know Tianma's question, what do you think?" ”

"Sir, we're a rough man, please give me a quote." Gao Si said lightly.

"The question of the heavenly horse comes from the three questions of the ancestor of the Buddha Buddha Sect."

"At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was a Tianzhu holy monk Dharma ses to preach the Dharma, which led three sweat and blood horses, respectively called as red blood, moonlight, like a dragon, all of them can travel thousands of miles a day, climb mountains and cross the sea like walking on the ground."

"It's a pity that the dragon foal is too strong to be ridden by ordinary people. At that time, someone asked for it, and the holy monk asked, 'What can I do if I can't do it?' ”

At that time, there were three heroes who were recognized by the holy monks.

The first was Er Zhurong, the general of Bahu, who laughed for a moment, stepped forward to look at the horse, and said sharply: "Kill!" He quickly drew his sword and slashed the red-blooded BMW and walked away.

The second person was Gao Huan, a horse herding slave, who held a knife in one hand and feed in the other, and said, "Lure him to gallop!" ”

Let the horse choose, surrender, and have something to eat. If you don't accept it, you die.

The 'moonlight' sweaty and bloody horse, as if it could understand human speech, bent down and knelt down, let Gao Huan ride, and galloped away.

The third is the declining Xianbei nobleman Yu Wentai, he stepped forward with his sword, and said in a long silence: "Wait for it." ”

He regarded the horse as a friend, and after taking care of it for several days, he got a dragon pony.

This is the question of the heavenly horse, also known as the three questions of Bodhidharma.

The bigger impact is on the back.

Er Zhurong started with 3,000 iron cavalry, conquered the south and the north, pacified Ge Rong's million rebels, and rebuilt the Northern Wei royal family. However, he wanted to usurp power and seize the throne, and was assassinated by the enemy of Wei in the last step.

Er Zhurong was rated as Cao Cao by later generations, and the disaster was better than Dong Zhuo.

Gao Huan started as a slave and served Er Zhurong, and after Er Zhurong's death, he raised the banner of revenge, abolished Emperor Wei, and created Gao Qi's hegemony.

Gao Huan is deep and generous, light on wealth and heavy on people, and the opportunity is unpredictable, and later generations called it Qi Shenwu.

Yuwentai rose up from the decline, went to Guanzhong to establish the government military system, created the foundation of the Guanlong aristocracy, and confronted Gao Huan from the east and west, and it was difficult to distinguish Xuan.

Yuwen Taiming is a master of the moment, and later generations will call him Zhou Chengzu.

Xue Yuanjing told the story of Tianma fifty or sixty years ago, and everyone who heard it had a solemn face.

"Yuandu, you go to bring people to bury the fallen officials in Xiangzhou, and Liu Zhen wants to publicize it even more." Gao Si suddenly called Jia Yuandu to command, but quietly accepted Xue Yuanjing's suggestion.

Xue Yuanjing's eyes lit up, revealing a hint of joy: "Great goodness." It's just that the minister still has a question, if it is the main guild, what choice will it make? ”

Gao Si shook his head: "The child only made the choice, and if I changed it, I wanted all three horses." With that, he turned and left, leaving behind the still lively feast.

The personnel temporarily made the following arrangements: First of all, Li Baiyao was appointed as the lieutenant of the Wei County Dian Agricultural School, responsible for the county's tuntian affairs.

Originally, Zheng Yan, the deputy of the baggage battalion, was promoted to Jiupin Sima, responsible for the daily decrees of Yecheng, as Li Baiyao's subordinates.

The second is that Yu Shinan was appointed as the commander of the city and county of Shunxiangzhou, and Zhou Zhong was promoted to the captain of the school to be responsible for guarding the city.

Xue Yuanjing was promoted to Yecheng Order because of his meritorious service to the city, and was responsible for appeasing the displaced people and rebuilding the city.

In terms of generals, Han Shi'e was promoted to captain of Changshui, in charge of two battalions (5,000 people). Wang Boren was promoted to captain of Wucheng and was in charge of a battalion (3,000 people). Wei Chi Gong was promoted to Yuanrong Lieutenant and was in charge of a battalion (3,000 people).

The rest, He Huailiang, Yang Jishan, Yang Minxing, Liu Zhuang, Peng Shishi, Hu Sizheng, and Chang He were each promoted to deputy captains, each in charge of a battalion of soldiers and horses (2,000 people).

Further down, Fang Daniu, Xu San, Han Tong, Mai Jicai, Mai Zhongcai, Mai Mengcai, Xue Yuanbo, Li Tieliang, Yang Gongqing, etc. were Wu Yilang, each commanding 800 troops.

If there is a shortage of soldiers and horses, let the generals go to various places to organize and train government soldiers, implement military cantonments, and plough and fight.

Cui Luo's position of soldier Cao Sima did not change, but he was rewarded and given more than ten maids and servants.

"What did I do wrong?" Thinking of something, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

A month later, as the poplar blossoms fell and the pear blossoms spread more widely, all the heroes everywhere were ready to move.

Jinyang Dragon City.

There was no war, which made Li Shimin extremely depressed, and when he came back from the barracks, a servant looked for him.

"Father, are you looking for me?" After a while, Li Shimin changed into his regular clothes. Then, he came to his father's study, bowed to his father Li Yuan with a respectful attitude, and asked.

Seeing that his beloved son had arrived, Li Yuan put down his Chinese book and motioned for Li Shimin to sit down, and then said, "Shimin, you are the most talented seedling of my Li family." I came to you because I wanted to ask you something. ”

Li Shimin said respectfully: "Father, please speak." ”

Li Yuan showed the official document to his son, kept thinking about the situation, and his eyes became much deeper.

"What do you think of these two's ability to use their troops?"

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, met his father's gaze, and said without thinking: "Back to my father, my son thinks that these two Li Mi are easy to deal with, but Gao Chongde is difficult to fight." ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Li Yuan's expression on his face remained unchanged, and he only motioned for him to continue.

"Yes, father." Li Shimin got his father's approval, and continued excitedly: "I read that the official document said that Li Miguang recruited the righteous army, captured Xingyang, and his strength increased greatly, and he was regarded as the leader of the alliance by the righteous army from all over the country. However, the elite is only 8,000 people in the Pushan public camp, and as long as the 8,000 people are defeated, their momentum will naturally disperse. But the enemy of the First World War, what a way! ”

"In contrast, in the first battle of Handan, Hebei, Gao Chongde who won the battle paid more attention to the long-term. Gao Chongde is a person, who raises soldiers in Tuntian, and now it seems that he is by no means comparable to ordinary people, and he really has some skills.

Judging by his actions, he has the legacy of Emperor Wu of Wei, and he will be a fierce enemy in the future. My Li family asked my father to make a decision as soon as possible whether to appease him or cut his power. Otherwise, if it is delayed for a long time, its control over the local area will gradually increase, and its control over the entire county will be deepened, and it will become a serious problem. ”

Li Yuan nodded, stood up suddenly, walked to the window, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked outside: "Shimin, you are really talented." This matter is arranged by the father himself. ”

Li Yuan turned his head, looked at his son again, and sighed: "All along, I have to keep my head in obscurity, and I don't want the world to be variable. Now it seems that he is underestimating the heroes of the world. From today onwards, you will make friends with heroes from all over the world and plan for the future. ”

Hearing his father's arrangement, for some reason, Li Shimin's mind suddenly flashed Li Jing's figure.

He was deeply impressed by Li Jing, and in the first battle, it was precisely because of Li Jing's planning that he won a complete victory, and the scenery was unique for a while.

Li Shimin himself is indeed talented, courageous, temperamental, good-looking, and family-like, and he is far beyond his peers everywhere.

At this time, wouldn't it be a good time for his father to let him make friends with Haojie?

Li Shimin's mood suddenly rose and fell, his eyes flashed brightly, and Fang said: "What my father said is very true, my son will go out and take care of the heroes of all families." ”

Li Yuan glanced at his son and admonished: "Shimin, now, the faint monarch is in a predicament in the eastern capital, and the Great Sui is no longer as good as the other, but it is still not possible to make a mistake. It is important to keep in mind that you must not take the initiative to provoke the government. As the son-in-law of the Li family, you must be cautious in your words and deeds at this critical moment, and you must not let the faint monarch seize the handle. ”

"The child remembers." Li Shimin responded quickly.
