Chapter 142: Take Xizhou and then talk about it
"Big brother, you're okay, it's so good!" Yue Bo Khan, who was a thousand households of the Xizhou Navy Army, couldn't help shouting in surprise after seeing Bai Xi at the camp gate. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Bai Xi saw Yue Bo Khan, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face, but Bai Xi's face changed and he said to Yue Bo Khan with a serious face: "Bo Khan, my brother-in-law has something important to discuss with you today." ”
When Yue Bohan heard this, he vaguely guessed something, so he hurriedly took his brother-in-law to his tent.
When Yue Bo Khan took Bai Xi into his camp tent and asked his henchmen to guard the camp gate. Bai Xi also had a serious face, and said to Yue Bo Khan: "Bo Khan, you must also know about the successive defeats of our officers and soldiers. Now that the Red Turban Army is coming to kill us in Xizhou, it is estimated that it will be able to kill outside the gate of Xizhou tomorrow, what are your plans at that time? ”
When Yue Bohan heard Bai Xi's words, his face couldn't help showing sadness, and he said to Bai Xi with a sad face: "Don't hide it from you, big brother, I've been scared for several days for this matter, and now it seems that there are only two ways to go, either for this bullshit court to die in battle; Either they fled incognito with their families. ”
When Bai Xi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, and said to Yue Bohan in a worried tone: "Bohan, it seems that you are preparing to escape. Although it was a question, Bai Xi's tone seemed very affirmative, after all, his brother-in-law's personality, he did not have the courage to sacrifice his life for the country.
When Yue Bohan heard Bai Xi's words, he also gritted his teeth and nodded and said to Bai Xi: "Big brother, do you say that apart from escaping, do we have any other way to go, is it possible that we can still be thieves?" ”
"Why not?" Hearing Yue Bo Khan's courageless words, Bai Xi stared at Yue Bo Khan's eyes and asked sharply in a tone of hatred for iron and steel.
And when Yue Bohan heard Bai Xi's rhetorical question, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in horror, and asked Bai Xi in a trembling tone: "Big brother, are you rebelling ......" When the word rebellion came out, Yue Bohan's voice couldn't help but become much smaller.
And when Bai Xi saw this, he couldn't help but want to give this guts guy a kick. I couldn't help but regret it in my heart: "Why did I listen to his sister's words in the first place and let this guts guy become a sailor Qianhu." But although he thought so in his heart, Bai Xi still said to Yue Bohan in a serious tone: "Bohan, you don't know what the situation is now, do you think you can really take your family to escape at this time." Take another 10,000 steps back, even if you can escape, do you really want to live that kind of precarious life? ”
Hearing Bai Xi's words, Yue Bohan's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of relief, but he still said to Bai Xi in a worried tone: "Big brother, but that's a 'rebellion'!" ”
"Rebellion!" When Bai Xi heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "What about rebellion? If his court doesn't give our brother a way to live, can he still prevent our brother from turning against him and fighting his way out. And even if it is a rebellion, our brothers can at least save their lives and the power in front of them......"
When Yue Bohan heard Bai Xi's words, his eyes gradually became firm, and he gritted his teeth and said to Bai Xi: "Big brother, what to do, I will listen to you." ”
Hearing Yue Bo Khan say this, Bai Xi couldn't help but have a smile on his face, only to see him sit down on the main seat in the big tent, looked at Yue Bo Khan and said: "Bo Khan, pass the order, call all the generals of more than 100 households in the army, and say that I have something important to discuss with them." ”
When Yue Bohan heard this, he nodded firmly, and then strode out of the tent and summoned the lieutenant generals.
……
That is, a moment later, in Yue Bo Khan's Chinese army tent, Bai Xi sat on the main seat with a steel knife at his waist and expressionless. When the seven hundred generals who were summoned saw this, although they were surprised and worried in their hearts, they still saluted Bai Xi one after another and said, "The last general, wait for General Bai." ”
Seeing this, Bai Xi waved his hand to let everyone be exempted, and after everyone was exempted, Bai Xi glanced at everyone, and said to everyone in the tent with a majestic face: "More than 70 years ago, the Yuan and Mongolian Tatars occupied my ancestors and killed my Han people. If you see pity today, let the Red Turban Army rise up with the sky. Today, the general is willing to surrender to the Red Turban Army, abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, raise the banner of righteousness, and return my Han people to the world, I don't know if you are willing to obey? ”
When the generals in the tent heard Bai Xi's words, their faces couldn't help but flash a shocked expression. But after the shock, some people's expressions turned into resentment, while others turned into an expression of incomprehension.
"The general wants to rebel!" A hundred household officials with a resentful face asked Bai Xi with his eyes glared at Bai Xi after hearing Bai Xi's words.
"Oppose!" Bai Xi snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "My Bai family is already the widow of Song, and I, Bai Xi, am also Yan Huang Huaxuan, and today I raise troops in the sky, how can I reverse the word!" ”
"Haha! I, your Bai family rebelled against the Song Dynasty and lowered the Yuan Dynasty in order to seek wealth and nobility; Now you have rebelled and surrendered to thieves for the sake of your life. Doing such a thing is no different from a house slave with three surnames! The hundred households said loudly and mockingly.
When Bai Xi heard this, his eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and stared at the man and said, "Look for death!" ”
When the knife-wielding guards behind the hundred households heard Bai Xi's words, they immediately showed the long knife in their hands and stabbed the hundred households with one sword.
Looking at the corpses of the hundred households and the dozens of soldiers in the tent and outside the tent, the remaining generals of the hundred households couldn't help but be shocked, among them, two generals of the hundred households who had always been close to Bai Xi took the initiative to stand up and bow down to Bai Xi at this time: "The last general, I am willing to listen to the orders of the adults!" ”
When the other people in the tent saw this, they immediately figured out what was at stake, so they all stood up and bowed down to Bai Xi and said, "The last general, I am willing to obey the orders of the lord!" ”
Seeing this, Bai Xi still stood up from his seat majestically, looked at the generals in the tent and said, "In this case, pass on the order of the general, lead the army into the city, and capture and kill the prison state in the city!" ”
"The last general obeys!" All the generals bowed and shouted.
……
"The lord is not good, the water division of the state city has rebelled!"
In front of the gate of the Xizhou Jianzhou Mansion, the subordinates guarding the door looked at the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division who had been killed, and couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
But such exclamations were obviously of little use to the rebels who rushed over, and I saw a rebel sergeant shouting loudly, and before the guards could escape, he slashed him to death.
"Kill~~" A loud shout of killing sounded, and under the backdrop of screams and blood, this group of rebels rushed into the Jianzhou Mansion like a group of hungry wolves.
How could a dozen or so family members in the Jianzhou Mansion be able to stop this group of well-armed rebels, and in the blink of an eye, this group of family members who tried to stop them were all killed. When Bai Xi, who was a little late, saw the bloody corpse that was cut down in Xizhou Jianzhou, he finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, because he knew: "I can finally live......"
……
At noon on the second day, Zhang Shihua led an army of 4,000 to the outside of Xizhou.
However, at this time, the city gate of Xizhou City was wide open, and the rebel general Bai Xi also led all the generals who rebelled with him to stand at the gate of the city respectfully, welcoming Zhang Shihua and their arrival. And Zhang Shihua, who was riding a horse at the front, saw this, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
And after Bai Xi saw Zhang Shihua riding his horse in front of him, he immediately led the generals under his command to bow down respectfully in front of Zhang Shihua's horse and said to Zhang Shihua: "Bai Xi, the guilty general, fortunately not disgraced, is willing to lead his brothers to surrender to the general and be the general's pawn." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Shihua did not dismount, he still rode on the horse to let Bai Xi and them be exempt, and after Bai Xi and them got up, he looked down at Bai Xi with a smile and said: "General Bai has done a good job, he will be very pleased to be able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light." Come, let's go into the city with Ben first. ”
When Bai Xi heard this, he still respectfully obeyed the order, and then obediently followed Zhang Shihua into the city with Zhang Shihua.
After Zhang Shihua entered the city, after looking at the intact houses in the city and the people who were generally calm, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but nodded.
"It seems that Bai Xi is still a smart man, and he didn't lead the army to cause trouble, otherwise he would ......" Thinking of this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but turn to look at Bai Xi, and said to him with some words of approval: "General Bai has done a good job." ”
When Bai Xi heard Zhang Shihua's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly sighed that he was fortunate not to be blinded by lard. After all, he largely relied on the power of the fox and the tiger to take Xizhou City, if he dared to set up arson and turn Xizhou City into a mess, then it is estimated that Zhang Shihua would definitely kill him and use it to establish his prestige and benevolence in Xizhou.
Therefore, after raising troops yesterday, he led the army to capture important places such as the Jianxian Mansion and the Xizhou Mansion, and did not take action against other places, nor did he dare to set the troops into trouble.
And now, when Zhang Shihua rode into Xizhou City, looking at the rich Xizhou City, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but have some other thoughts in his heart.
To tell the truth, Xizhou is located in the plains, the land is fertile, and the river transportation is convenient, if the business is good, it may not be impossible to become its own place in the troubled times. After all, with his current strength, in addition to emotional reluctance, there is nothing worthy of Zhang Shihua's nostalgia in a place like Taihe County.
However, as Zhang Shihua was about to ride his horse to the official office of the state capital, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the Yuanmeng court, which existed like a giant, and left this idea behind. "After all, the current Red Turban Army is too weak for the Yuanmeng court, which rules the world."
"In this case, no matter how clever your business methods are, you can't run a base area in the heart of the Yuanmeng court under the heavy siege of the enemy. After all, Runing Mansion is located in the Central Plains, and the Central Plains has been the land of four wars since ancient times. ”
"From ancient times to the present, except for Cao Cao, the hero of the Three Kingdoms, any prince and rebel army who tried to start in the Central Plains have all failed miserably without exception. And even if he is an eternal hero like Cao Cao, who started by occupying the Central Plains, he can only do three points of the world, let alone his current self. ”
"Although I am a time-traveler, familiar with the development of history, and have an advantage far beyond this era, but even so, ask yourself, I really don't have the grasp of merit and hegemony under the siege of the million-strong army of the Yuan and Mongolian courts."
So when he thought of this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but give up his plan to run Xizhou for a long time. After all, the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty had just begun, and it was far from the point of chaos in the world. Anyway, as long as the strength is strong enough, then you can always grab a piece of territory that you can be satisfied with.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shi's thoughts suddenly became clear. "Let's deal with the affairs of Xizhou City first." Thinking like this in his heart, Zhang Shihua also took many generals and strode into the Xizhou official office.
It can be said that the state government offices in various places are about the same in terms of specifications, so Zhang Shihua has no mood to visit this official office, after striding people into the front hall of the official office, Zhang Shihua sat on the main seat, and then began to deal with the post-war problems in Xizhou and the issue of rewarding the soldiers.
After all, the matter of rewards and punishments has always been regarded by Zhang Shihua as the most important thing. This is not only related to the prestige of a general, but also related to the loyalty and oath of the officers and men in the army.
You must know that it was because of the unfair rewards and punishments of Song Taizong that the Great Song Forbidden Army that defeated the Northern Han Dynasty was not timely, which led to the low morale of the Great Song Forbidden Army, which led to a crushing defeat to the Liao State, which made the Great Song Dynasty completely lose the ability of the Northern Expedition.
It is precisely because rewards and punishments are so important that Zhang Shihua appointed Shi Shisan, a tendon who is absolutely loyal to himself, as the military judge, and let him take charge of rewards and punishments, and be directly responsible for himself.
However, in the reward of meritorious deeds at this time, Zhang Shihua did not reward the soldiers as much as he did in Zhenyang, after all, he took as much reward as he did. The First Battle of Xizhou, strictly speaking, was not even a major war, and the total number of dead in the Red Turban Army was less than fifty, so naturally there would be no such a generous reward.
However, although he did not reward the soldiers this time, Zhang Shihua did not hesitate to reward these generals under his command, after all, the generals of the First Battle of Zhenyang did not get any rewards, and this time it was just regarded as compensation.
In short, in this reward, Zhang Shihua first promoted Zhao Jiu to Deputy Wanhu, making him the real first person under his command. Then Guo Yu, who had made great contributions and had gained a firm foothold in the army, was promoted to a thousand cavalry households.
After all, Guo Yu is skilled in arching and horse, proficient in cavalry warfare, and Zhang Shihua now has the ability to form a cavalry with a number of around 500 people, so letting Guo Yu serve as a cavalry thousand households can be regarded as making the best use of his talents.
And in addition to Guo Yu, Zhang Mingtong, Zhao Er, and Bai Xi, the generals, were also promoted to thousands of households, Zhou Tie, Li Erniu, Deng Hu and others took over Zhang Mingtong's class and became deputy thousand households, and as for the remaining generals who made meritorious contributions but were not promoted for the time being, they were also rewarded by Zhang Shihua one by one.
