6. The pipa ditch is red

"You waited for a long time, Han Hong chose 2,000 people as the corporal of Lang, and selected 300 people to go to the military government to eat, each meal cost 10,000 dollars, and coerced Dong Xianggong to wait for you to wait for the song, Lu Xingjun repeatedly wanted to bind you and others with the law, but you waited with swords, guns, and guns, and turned a deaf ear to the military law and discipline, and turned a blind eye. Han Hong, Liu Yi, etc., also had to sell better than you, and they responded to your needs, so that the Xuanwu army of the Biansong Dynasty had always listened to the imperial court, occupied the Caoyun hub, and gave what they wanted. The ancients said that the punishment could not reach the public, but for you and others, the punishment had to reach the public! Take the first chaotic and the ordinary insulting 100 people, and cut them first. After Gao Yue finished speaking, he waved his hand resolutely.

Soon, in the open space between the military government and the Yabing Academy, several white flags were erected, and Wu Yijun and Shenwei Hall sent 100 strong men to each carry the sword, and pushed out the first 100 Xuanwu veterans, and then pushed out their families.

"It's not a disaster for my family." The tooth soldiers begged Gao Yue one after another.

"When you are doing evil, why don't you see your family to persuade you? When you break the law and discipline, how can you ever think of your family? Today, I will punish you and other family members, and give a warning to those who come after you! Gao Yue stood still.

"Slash!" Hundreds of sharp blades were chopped down in unison, and several white flags were suddenly dyed bright red by the blood mist, and the blood light rose more than ten zhang high, filling the streets of the military courtyard, and after the hundred tooth soldiers were beheaded, their family members cried and shook the sky, and were pushed and dragged to the front of the earthen pit, and then they were all beheaded.

Later, the military official who supervised the beheading came to report, "Gao Gongshi, the corpse has filled the open earth and has nowhere to put his feet." ”

Dong Jin was so frightened that his face was like earth, and the two trembled.

The generals of the other armies were also so frightened that they didn't dare to keep silent.

Hun Xuan closed his eyes, thinking that this senior was ruthless in killing Fanzi, and even more ruthless in killing the rebels in the military town of the Domain, completely ignoring the ominous rules of killing prisoners in my Tang Dynasty.

"Escort the rest of the tooth soldiers and their families to the Pipa ditch and behead them." Gao Yue did not have the slightest intention of forgiveness.

The Xuanwu soldiers saw the death knell in front of their eyes, struggling, and scolded Gao Yue, saying that Gao Yue slaughtered the people who had reformed themselves, and sooner or later they would not die well, even if they died well, they would be reincarnated as animals, and the whole family would be reincarnated as animals.

Han Hong laughed and scolded the tooth soldiers: "You will be punished by the present world now, and you will be killed like a livestock, and you can still criticize others?" ”

"If you don't wait for you, this world will always be reincarnated in the beast path."

Then 900 tooth soldiers, and their families, a total of 3 or 4,000, were all beheaded together with Han Hong on the river plain on the north side of Pipa Valley.

The other tooth soldiers in Bianzhou City were frightened to death, and before Gao Yue could summon him, they all wore coarse linen clothes and worshiped in front of the military mansion with their families, crying and begging for mercy.

Gao Yue's order soon came out, you wait to reduce the death of one class, the long flow of the river, from the same day he cut off the military registration, with his family and children, to fill in the northwest, lead the field to run his own business, in order to rehabilitate.

So two or three thousand ordinary tooth soldiers in Bianzhou immediately formed a team, using calf carts, mules and donkeys to pull all the family property, and the same Yangzhou soldiers who were selected and retreated at the beginning, they all obediently set foot on a distance of thousands of miles, and never dared to turn back.

As for the 20,000 town soldiers who surrendered in the Biansong Dynasty before, Gao Yue told Hun Yang that he would be able to select and retreat, leaving 6,000 provinces to suppress the garrison, and the rest would choose another 4,000 to supply the officers and soldiers who had suffered casualties before, and the remaining half would be dismissed and returned to the peasants.

Later, Gao Yue started the court again, abolished the Xuanwu military town, and built a large line of Zhongshu Province in Cai, Guang, Bo, Ying, Bian, Song, Chen, and Xu Bazhou, named Huaixi, with the prime minister's town, the government was not in Bianzhou, but in Caizhou, in order to reflect the essence of the provincial system, and belonged to the Zhongshu Men Zhili, and the status was the same as that of Jingzhao, Dugi, Longdong, and Hanoi, and the four provinces of Caoyun were completely firmly in their hands. As for the two governors, Gao Yue recommended Lu Changyuan, and Gao Yue unexpectedly recommended another person: Li Jifu who was the assassin in Daozhou, and the rest of the provincial important positions were separated by Dong Jin's old staff Meng Yuandu, Zhou Juchao, Li Renjun, Yang Ning, etc.

"Hongxian is highly talented, it is impossible for the imperial court not to reuse, and it is just a matter of experience to serve as an envoy in a local state and county." Gao Yue explained.

In addition, Wei Cigong, who was discharged from the hospital together, was also elected as the governor of Shannan Province, and Gao Gu consciously avoided being the general of the Xuanfu Division.

Wei Zhiyi returned to the center, and served as a scholar at the same time as Quan Deyu.

This group of people are all strong candidates for the next prime minister's team.

When the two taxes were about to be levied, Gao Yue asked Zaitang to go out and build a strong new city in the Bianzhou camp, leaving 3,000 soldiers and horses for the town, and a governor to protect the Cao Yun, and 500,000 stones of rice and grain, 1.2 million yuan of money, and 250,000 horses of cloth and silk, which were used as military funds for the camp and the next march.

"Zheng Wenming once said that he would first take Bianzhou, then trap Ziqing, and focus on fighting with Wei Bochengde, now that the first step has been completed, it is time to move on to the next step." Gao Yue is methodical.

However, he first untied the captured Wei Bo general Shi Zhouluo, greeted him to the middle hall of the military palace, and Wen Yan said to him:

"Wei Botian Shaoqing, young and careless, must be separated by traitors, and turn against our official army, if Princess Jiacheng knows, won't it make the princess sad?"

Shi Zhouluo was ashamed, and confessed to Gao Yue: "What Taishi said is very true, this time my Tianxiong army reinforced Bianzhou was defeated, and thousands of children turned into ghosts in a foreign land, and the young master will not have a good time in the future." ”

"This official and military conquest is all because of the rebellion of the Xuanwu soldiers, and it has nothing to do with Wei Bo, why did Tian Shaoqing risk the charge of rebellion and send troops to attack Zhaozhou? I am willing to send the general back to the town, and the captured Wei Bo's children will also be sent back, and I will never harm them, and I also hope that the general can use it as an intermediary to reconcile Wei Bo and the imperial court, and continue the good situation when Tian Xu was alive. ”

Shi Zhouluo agreed, but after all, he was a representative of the Hushang Group, and immediately thought of money after he survived, and secretly thought: "If Wei Bo is obedient again and withdraws from the three states of Xing, Ci, and Xu, then how should I settle the hundreds of thousands of yuan lent to the young master by the Zhaowu people?" "But think about where you still take care of this problem now, it's true that you have to go back to the Daimyo's Mansion first.

When Shi Zhouluo expressed his gratitude to himself, Gao Yue took up the pen, repaired a book, and solemnly handed it to him, saying that he asked the general to hand over this letter to the young master of your family and Princess Jiacheng, and tell him that all the mediation matters are left to me, and any other major matters that are not well resolved can be discussed with me.

As soon as Shi Zhouluo was sent away, there were scouts to report that Wang Shizhen, the son of Wang Wujun, and Nie Feng, the general of Wei Bo, joined forces of 30,000 troops to go south, and took advantage of the aftermath of the great victory in Hexian Quan, and entered the boundary of Xiangzhou, and had camped in Anyang Beiqiaoli, clamoring to relieve the siege of Bianzhou and fight a decisive battle with Gao Yue and Hun Xuan.

Among them, the banner of rebellion raised by Wang Wujun is, of course, undoubtedly the imperial court's inward-spiritedness, and if we do not let our loyal ministers know about it, there will be traitorous ministers who will obstruct it.

The Yiwu army, which was originally responsible for monitoring Wang Wujun, really stood still at this time, and sat back and watched the German army move freely, on the grounds that "a large number of Khitans and Uighurs appeared behind the mountain, and they were afraid that they would be blocked, and we must defend the territory." ”
