Chapter 274: Dingshu
The summer breeze is warm, the sun is flying, the summer in Shu is still hot and unbearable, there is not a single bird in the clear sky, even the heat-resistant goshawk is hiding in the nest at the moment to enjoy the cool.
Wearing clothes weighing dozens of pounds of thick armor, riding a horse and standing under the scorching sun, Yang Yi's sweat-soaked ass was almost glued to the saddle.
But today he had to come out to bask in the scorching sun, and even if he felt uncomfortable, he had to pretend to be majestic on his face, because behind him and on the opposite city wall, there were tens of thousands of eyes staring straight at him, and his every move represented the dignity of being the king of Shu.
Yang Yi, who stood out from the crowd, squinted his eyes and watched the gate of Qiongzhou City not far away slowly open.
Immediately, led by Gong Su, officials and generals of all sizes in Qiongzhou City lined up in a long line and walked out of the hole in the city gate at one time.
Gong Su rode a jujube red horse and slowly came to the front of the Shu army, stopped at a distance of more than twenty steps in front of Yang Yi, turned over and dismounted, and walked in front of Yang Yi with his head down.
Yang Yi didn't move, he looked coldly at Gong Su coming to him, holding a seal in both hands, bowed down and shouted: "Sima Gongsu of Qiongzhou represents fifty-four officials in Qiongzhou, 17,000 people in Qiongzhou, and 270,000 people, welcoming His Royal Highness the King of Shu, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is a thousand years old. ”
Yang Yi said coldly: "Where is Qiongzhou Taishou An Chutai? ”
Gong Su's face did not change and replied: "Back to His Highness, An Chutai resisted His Highness's Wang Army, intending to rebel, knowing that he was guilty, he had committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine in Taishou Mansion, and his body was now parked on Taishou Mansion. ”
Yang Yi nodded when he heard this, turned over and jumped off the horse, and came to Gong Su to take the seal he offered.
Yang Yi flipped his wrist, looked at the bottom of the seal, and the seal was engraved with the words "Qiongzhou Taishou Seal".
Glancing at Gong Su, who was still standing bowed, Yang Yi smiled and said: "Lord Gong obeyed the will of heaven and surrendered to avoid a catastrophe, which is a great achievement. ”
Gong Su immediately replied: "Your Highness's military might, I am really ashamed to wait for the wind to be invincible." ”
Yang Yi smiled again: "This king led the royal army to come, this trip is only to eradicate the first evil An Chutai, and now An Chutai has been awarded the head, Lord Gong is well aware of the righteousness, and it is a matter of course to take the position of Qiongzhou Tai. ”
In the eyes of others, Yang Yi's tone was flat and quite open-minded, as if he didn't come to fight for power and profit, and he was a bit of a sage.
Only Gong Su was in a cold sweat on his back, he knew that behind Yang Yi's easy-going smile, there was endless killing intent, and no one could imagine that this young King of Shu was a master who killed people in the invisible.
"Your Highness, the lower officials are old, and they are no longer able to serve His Highness, and they will do their best for the people. Gong Su knew that if he dared to accept the official position of Qiongzhou Taishou, it might not be long before someone would let him die violently in office, just like he asked An Chutai to "commit suicide".
Yang Yi heard what Gong Su said, and nodded regretfully: "Since Lord Gong has made up his mind, it is inconvenient for this king to keep too much." Lord Gong is honest and diligent, and he is a model for my officials in Shuzhong. ”
Gong Su bowed down and bowed: "Thank you to my Wang Chengquan." ”
Gong Su is a smart man, he knows that people can't be insatiable, no matter whether it is official position or money, it is not as important as the head on his neck, as long as he doesn't make waves in the future, Yang Yi will not find trouble again, let him spend the rest of his life in peace.
Yang Yi slowly raised his head, looked at Qiongzhou City not far away, and then raised his hand to the army behind him, and shouted: "Enter the city!" ”
There were not too many cheers, and the Shu army quietly entered Qiongzhou City.
Qiongzhou City was unusually quiet, under the instruction of Yang Yi, Gong Su and others did not deliberately drive the uneasy people out of the house to welcome him, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, but only ordered to post notices in the city to comfort the people, saying that after the Shu army entered Qiongzhou City, there would be no crime in the autumn, and the life of the people of Qiongzhou could continue as usual.
As for the Qiongzhou army, which had laid down their arms, Yang Yi let them all stay in the barracks, and sent his own teaching team to each barracks.
The teaching team is a team that has been responsible for ideological work in Yang Yi's special city, and it is also directly under Yang Yi's command.
Under normal circumstances, the task of the teaching team is very simple, that is, to appease the morale of the army and the people. Yang Yi is also preparing to set up a propaganda team in the teaching team, and he will teach them some positive energy propaganda programs such as military songs and sketches in his previous life, and regularly go to various military camps to visit them.
These are all the experience and wealth accumulated by Yang Yi in his previous life, and they don't need to be used in vain. In ancient times, when the thinking was relatively simple, it was believed that the role would be more obvious.
Yang Yi knows very well that if he wants to change the world, he must start from these subtle things, and gradually let the people of this era accept some new things, instead of recklessly carrying out reforms, which can only dig his own grave.
Yang Yi arranged various matters all the way, and soon came to Qiongzhou Taishou Mansion.
An Chutai's body was parked in the courtyard of the Taishou Mansion, only one look, and after identifying his person, Yang Yi allowed An Chutai's family to collect the body, and ordered the confiscation of all An Chutai's family property, and his people were all reduced to civilians if they were not traitors and evildoers.
Yang Yi has thought carefully about the severity of the criminal code in Shuzhong, and this kind of thing is not suitable for implementation in Shuzhong. Although there is chaos in Shu, it is chaotic in the aristocracy and bureaucratic class, as long as these moths on the front teeth are removed, Shuzhong is a pure land of bliss.
After staying in Qiongzhou City for less than a day, Shama Naigu in front finally came with news: the tail pass of Qiongzhou Mansion has been successfully taken, and the tail pass guard will follow the remnants of the Wenzhou army to flee to Wenzhou, and the Guannei army will open the city gate by itself to welcome the Shu army to settle in.
At this point, the battle of Qiongzhou has basically ended, there may be some remnants of the Wenzhou army fleeing in the mountains, Shama Naigu is ordering the Zhen army to clean up, in the situation of closing the door and beating the dogs, those people themselves can't afford to make any waves.
In this battle, Yang Yibing took Qiongzhou City without blood, minimizing the losses and impact of An Chutai's rebellion.
At the same time, the commander of the Shu army, Shama Naigu, personally led the troops, set up an ambush on the North Shu Road, and completely annihilated the invasion of the Shuzhou army. Wenzhou's 20,000 Chinese troops were sandwiched by Shama Naigu on the Shu Road in dangerous terrain, and lost more than half of them in half a day.
