For Xue Shao, it was actually a trivial matter to execute two dog officials who had conspired to defect to the enemy, and the most important thing was to reduce internal friction and restore the original order of Yanzhou to make it the base of his army......

A thousand Yanzhou soldiers surrendered, and they showed their determination to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light by chopping Zhou Yunming and Deng Zaihua into pieces. Xue Shao, the minister of the Imperial Mission, showed his generosity, pardoned all the sergeants on the spot, ordered them to make meritorious contributions, and promoted Sun Qingfu to the line of fire, who was the first to stand up and scold Zhou Yunming, as the new lieutenant of the Yanzhou Military Government.

Subsequently, Xue Shao asked Sun Qingfu to lead the men and horses of his headquarters as an outpost, and he personally led a thousand horsemen and more than 1,100 native soldiers recruited by Guo An to follow him and march towards Yan'an City.

There were also many henchmen of Zhou Yunming in Yan'an City, and they had an army under them to control the Yamen of the Assassin Mansion, and the city defense was also under their control. Sun Qingfu led the headquarters back to the city, and Zhou Yunming's henchmen undoubtedly opened the door to welcome him. After Sun Qingfu entered the city, he suddenly attacked the city gate guards and seized the city defense with lightning speed.

Xue Shao took advantage of the situation to lead the army to kill, and he personally led a part of the thousand cavalry and native soldiers to go straight to the Assassin's Mansion, and arrested many rebels who were gathering people to gamble and have sexual pleasure in the Assassin's Mansion, and one did not leave all of them to correct the law on the spot. Xue Chuyu was led by Wu Ming, and led another part of the thousand cavalry to go straight to the Sacrificial Banner Slope, killing the rebels there by surprise like a divine soldier descending from heaven, and rescued many local officials and their families and some civilian women who were detained there. Guo An led the army to arrive and took control of all the armaments and materials here.

All the action was over in one hour. Before the people in Yan'an City could react, they saw the gate of the Assassin's Mansion showing the Qincha Emperor List and dozens of bloody human heads.

Xue Shao made public the conspiracy of Zhou Yunming and others to surrender to the enemy, and the rescued officials came forward to say the truth, and the people of Yan'an, who had always been kept in the dark, suddenly realized that they bowed down in front of the Assassin's Mansion and thanked Xue Shao for saving his life.

Yanzhou can be regarded as a winner. Xue Shao wanted to follow the base before the war, and there was.

On the side of Wang Fangyi, the main force of the counterinsurgency, there has been no news. Between Yanzhou and Xiazhou, there is a Suizhou, which happens to be the lair of Bai Tieyu's rebels. If the messenger wanted to bypass Suizhou and go to Wang Fangyi of Xiazhou, he would have to travel hundreds of miles through the vast wilderness of the Gobi. In such a snowy season in the middle of winter, the lethality of the Wilderness Gobi is no less than that of the rebellious army.

As a result, Xue Shao, the head of the march, is now more like a bare-rod commander. Until he gets in touch with Wang Fangyi and gets help, he can only fight alone!

After pacifying Yanzhou, the first thing Xue Shao did was to announce that the Assassin's Mansion would be changed to the Xiping Dao Marching Governor's Mansion and the Sanzhou Dethroned Envoy Qin Cha Xingyuan from now on, and the military and political power of Yanzhou would be in Xue Shao's hands.

Then Xue Shaobu issued the first order of deposition, and the Yanzhou Assassin Mansion returned the three-year tax collected in advance, and opened a warehouse to release grain to help the people.

This matter will certainly not be done by a single governor's office, and the local county government is the key to actually fulfilling this order. Xue Shao counted the officials and others, and now the county orders of the eight counties under the rule of Yanzhou are all gone. There are three of Zhou Yunming's henchmen, whose heads have been hung outside the Assassin's Mansion; The other five who did not want to rebel had already been killed by Zhou Yunming.

So Xue Shao promoted eight county orders among the rescued officials, and asked them to return to each county to resume the normal work of the county government, and the urgent thing was to refund taxes, open warehouses for disaster relief, and recall and pacify the displaced people in their own county. In addition, Xue Shao also allowed the county government to temporarily recruit a certain number of native soldiers to strengthen local security and prevent the invasion of white bandits. All necessary weapons, rations, and other military supplies were provided by the governor's office, and a certain amount of military pay was given to these native soldiers, which were regarded as government employment. At the same time, Xue Shao also issued a strict order that every native soldier recruited by the county government must be registered, regarded as a regular guard under the command of the Xiping Road marching chief, and must be subject to the constraints of the Tang Dynasty's military regulations and be controlled by the orders of the marching commander.

In other words, Xue Shao asked the eight county officials to help him recruit soldiers!

The county orders of the eight counties have all received Xue Shao's life-saving grace and promotion of knowledge, where is there anyone who does not swear allegiance and work hard? In addition, Xue Shaoguang distributed money and food to help the people, and he had already gained a large number of people's hearts. For a time, there was a tide of soldiers from top to bottom in Yanzhou, and everyone was scrambling. In just five days, the eight counties sent 3,000 soldiers to Xue Shao.

Yanzhou is a small and remote state, with a sparse population of poor people, with less than 20,000 people in the whole state. The 3,000 soldiers sent by Bazhou plus the more than 1,000 people gathered under Guo An's command before, almost all the young men and women in Yanzhou came to follow Xue Shao. Many of them were fathers, sons and brothers who joined the army, and when they came, the old and young women and children of the family sent each other with tears all the way, as if they were saying goodbye.

Xue Shao and the soldiers of Qianqi were very moved, but at the same time very embarrassed. War is not a child's play, and victory or defeat is unpredictable. If this battle breaks out, no one can guarantee that the native soldiers will not be wiped out. Even if the whole army is wiped out, it is not impossible to live.

So Xue Shaowei persuaded those native soldiers that it was best to keep a man in each household and not to join the army with their families. But they didn't listen. The local people in Yanzhou are more eager than Xue Shao to use their own strength to defend their homeland and protect their relatives.

The pressure on Xue Shao's shoulders also increased greatly, and he was in a dilemma. If there are no soldiers under his command, of course the battle cannot be fought; I have soldiers under my command, but I have to fight a war that will cut off many people's children and grandchildren!

Except for a few arms and a small team to follow, Xue Shao assigned all the thousand cavalry soldiers to the native soldiers, and let them serve as low-level officers such as team leaders and fire captains. When the battle begins, let the thousand horsemen take the lead in the charge with these native soldiers.

Xue Shao said to the thousands of cavalry soldiers under his command that in the face of war and life and death, no matter whether they are high or low, good or bad, are equal. If you want to win this war and survive successfully, you have to train these native soldiers with you as I, the "devil general", do with you. They can learn a little more about killing the enemy on the training ground, and they will have a better chance of surviving when they start fighting. At the same time, you must treat your robe as your true brother of flesh and blood. Because when you go to the battlefield, the robes around you entrust your life to you, and your life is entrusted to them. This trust and respect is even more flesh and blood brothers!

In the city of Yanzhou, a frenzy of military training soon set off.

Experience is always more understandable than preaching.

The soldiers of the Thousand Cavalry now finally understand the good intentions of the devil general Xue Shao before. It turns out that the harshness and impersonalness on the training ground are the real compassion of soldiers!

On the seventh day of entering Yan'an, the moon slave returned with several important news.

Previously, Xue Shao asked Wu Ming and Yuenu to be responsible for the liaison with Sima Chengzhen and Xuan Yunzi. After the matter was arranged, Xue Shao didn't ask any more. These days, Xue Shao has been so busy with military affairs that he has almost forgotten about this matter. Even after the moon slave disappeared for a few days, Xue Shao was unaware.

It turned out that the moon slave pretended to be a Taoist servant and went to Suizhou with Sima Chengzhen and Xuan Yunzi. The three of them walked around Suizhou, and although there were occasional thrills, they were safe. Sima Chengzhen and Xuan Yunzi often haunt various Buddhist halls, discussing Buddhism with the monks there, and they are always convinced, and they are inexplicably surprised.

Obviously two Taoist priests, but they use Buddhism to shut up the monk, can it not be surprising?

Sima Chengzhen and Xuan Yunzi, as the senior disciples of Heavenly Master Pan Shizheng, are among the best extraordinary people in the religious circles of the Tang Dynasty, so they naturally attracted the attention of Bai Tieyu's subordinates and reported directly to Bai Tieyu.

Bai Tieyu, who claimed to be the "Holy Emperor of Light", claimed to "build a country" with Buddhism, but he did not embarrass Sima Chengzhen and Xuan Yunzi, but politely invited them over as guests of honor, and put on a humble driving posture, asking the two "masters outside the world" to teach Buddhism, and almost sleepless for three consecutive days. After that, Bai Tieyu shouted that he hated to see each other late, and wanted to worship the two of them as the chief and deputy national teachers, but they were politely refused. But Bai Tieyu did not give up, and kept the two of them by his side with both soft and hard, and shared three meals a day with them at the same table, even the confidants reported the military situation, and Bai Tieyu did not shy away from them.

Sima Chengzhen and Xuan Yunzi used such a method of Jiang Taigong fishing for the bait, and successfully lurked by Bai Tieyu's side.

This was really an unexpected surprise for Xue Shao.

The first important piece of information brought by Yuenu was that Bai Tieyu's rebels were attacking Longquan County under Suizhou's rule with all their might.

Prior to this, Bai Tieyu had taken Chengping County as his base and had captured Suide and Dabin counties. These two counties were considered to be rich counties under the rule of Suizhou, and Bai Tieyu, who suddenly attacked the killers, took these two important granaries and treasury without much effort, and the rebel forces increased greatly for a while. Longquan was originally a small and dilapidated county, but Bai Tieyu's rebels gnawed a hard bone here.

Since the grass has been startled, Longquan County has made preparations in advance. Their county orders did not obey the rebels, and mobilized the people of the whole county to resist together. Bai Tieyu was furious, and sent the most capable general under his command, the former Suizhou Mansion Zhichong Du Lieutenant Linghu Zu to lead 5,000 troops and horses to attack the city, but he didn't fight for more than ten days.

Because of the instability of the backyard, Bai Tieyu has no intention of sending troops south to collect Yanzhou, which is already in the bag. Otherwise, it is unknown whether Xue Shao can still sit in Yanzhou City today. Now, Bai Tieyu already knew that Xue Shao led the army to recover Yanzhou, and he was very shocked and angry at the same time, so he vented all his anger to Longquan County. He withdrew Linghu Zu back to guard the old nest of Chengping County, and personally led an army of 20,000 to kill Benlongquan County, claiming that there would be no chickens and dogs left on the day the city was broken, and he would slaughter the city!

After listening to what the moon slave said, Xue Shaojian stood up with his eyebrows up, which startled the moon slave!

"Childe is angry! Bai Tieyu deserves to die, but Gongzi should not move his liver fire for him and hurt his body! The moon slave hurriedly advised.

"Bai Tieyu is the one who should cut off his children and grandchildren the most!" Xue Shao took a deep breath, "Now, I'm going to fulfill him!" ”
