Thirty-nine rounds: triumphant return
According to the custom of the Han Dynasty, the loss of both parents should be subject to filial piety for three years. But in these troubled times, most of these things don't work. After guarding the first seven days of the deceased relatives, the Zhang brothers and sisters dismissed their families, sold their fields, and returned to Lixian with Gao Yun with the spiritual positions of their parents.
Watching Gao Yun's "Huwei Army" pull away a large amount of money and grain baggage one by one, Liu Bei felt uneasy in his heart, and said in his heart: "There was no actual loss of the 'Huwei Army' in this battle, Gao Yun not only took all the booty and collected 20,000 prisoners of war, but also took so much money and grain in vain. Now the strength of the 'Tiger Power Army' will inevitably increase greatly! Gao Yun is too dangerous......".
Hearing that Gao Yun returned triumphantly, the county became a sensation. The people of the whole city poured into the streets, singing and dancing to welcome Gao Yun's return.
Gao Yun made a lot of money in this battle, and he was also elated, sitting on the "Snow Qilin" and rushing to the people on the left and right to give his hands frequently.
"Congratulations on your triumphant return!"
"Congratulations to Lord Gao for winning another battle!" There was a lot of noise in all directions.
More and more people poured into the streets, and there were crowds of people on both sides of the road, so Gao Yun had to order the army to march in two columns to avoid overcrowding and accidental injury.
Gao Yun took the lead, wearing a beast's head to cover his heart with silver scale armor, wearing a double-eared Qiyun skyrocketing helmet, a nine-belt edelweiss robe with a back cloak, and a "snow unicorn" chasing the wind under his crotch.
From the city gate to Gaofu, the two-quarter hour journey Gao Yun took two hours. Yu'er and Shalina have been restless at night since Gao Yun left, looking forward to it day and night, and now that they heard that Gao Yun is back, where can the sisters sit still, they have been waiting outside the gate of Gaofu for a long time.
"Brother Yun! Husband! As soon as the sisters saw Gao Yun, they greeted it like the wind, and climbed Gao Yun's shoulders left and right. The two of them looked up and down, for fear that Gao Yun would bump into each other.
Yu'er even burst into tears, and said with a crying voice while looking: "You are back, you didn't hurt and touched it, right?" ”
"Where can I be!" Gao Yun deliberately said with a big grin: "Isn't this good for me." It's only been a few days, look at you two."
"Hah! You also said that Sister Yu'er didn't even sleep in the past few days since you left, you know how worried we are about you, you still say! You still say! ”。 Sarina slapped Gao Yun's shoulder as she spoke, and tears fell from her eyes.
Gao Yun persuaded the two sisters to hold back their tears, and at this time Yu'er saw Zhang Ning standing behind her, and was stunned for a moment, and said: "Oh, I didn't see Sister Ning'er also came, it's really a snub sister."
"Sister Yu'er". Xiao Zhang Ning agreed, still with sadness on his face.
"Hey, what's wrong with my sister?". Yu'er saw that Zhang Ning's face was wrong, so she asked casually.
Gao Yun hurriedly grabbed Yu'er, called her and Shalina aside, and told him about the murder of Zhang Shigan and his wife.
This news stunned Yu'er and Shalina, although they had a very thin relationship with Zhang Shigan and his wife, they both felt sorry for Zhang Ning, a little girl, from the bottom of their hearts.
Yu'er's eyes moistened again, and she stepped forward to hold Xiao Zhang Ning's hand, wanting to say something but didn't know how to comfort her.
"Sister Yu'er!" Xiao Zhang Ning shouted heartbreakingly, and threw herself on Yu'er and cried.
Yu'er and Shalina also knew that this kind of sadness could not be persuasive, so they had to let Xiao Zhang Ning howl.
Zhang Ning's crying made Zhang Yu unbearable, turned around, and cried silently.
After a long while, Zhang Ning held back his tears a little, Yu'er gently patted Zhang Ning's back, and comforted: "People can't be resurrected after death, your brothers and sisters have to think about it, this is your brother and sister's home in the future, we must live well, so that Shibo and aunt can also go with peace of mind."
"Well, sister, don't worry, Ning'er... It must be good". Zhang Ning said while sobbing.
"Well, sister don't worry, sister knows that Ning'er is the strongest. It's windy outside, let's go, let's go inside and talk". Yu'er said as she carried Zhang Ning into the mansion.
Later, Gao Yun and Shalina also persuaded Zhang Yu and walked into the mansion together.
The effort was not big, Zhang Fei and Gao Shun heard that Gao Yun was back, and they also rushed to Gao Yun to return to him. Later, Liao Hua, Niu Xiong, and Ma Zhi also arrived one after another. Around the end of the evening, Guan Yu, Li Dian, Zhou Tai, and Zhou Cangsi settled their own headquarters, and after handing over the money and grain to Sun Bin, they also came to Gaofu to return to Gao Yun together with Sun Bin.
Gao Yun saw that everyone had arrived, so he ordered a banquet to be set up in the mansion and chatted with everyone while eating.
Although Gao Yun had already made arrangements, he still wanted to listen to the opinions of the audience, so he said: "In the battle of Zhuojun, our army won a complete victory, killing 20,000 enemies and capturing 20,000 enemies, and none of our 'Huwei army' was killed. And now these nearly 20,000 prisoners of war are not easy to arrange, do the brothers have a good plan? ”
"Hey! Big brother doesn't have to worry, let them all follow me Lao Zhang into battle to kill the enemy." Zhang Fei was the first to stand up and speak.
Then Li Dian also stood up, and said to Gao Yun: "Lord, the last general thinks that what the three generals said is true, these prisoners have been baptized in battle, and it must be easy to train." If all these men and horses are incorporated into our 'Tiger Mighty Army' and then reorganized, we will definitely be able to double the combat strength of our army."
"Yes, what the three generals said is", "What General Li Dian said is reasonable", all the generals also agreed, but Guan Yu and Sun Bin did not speak.
Gao Yun nodded, motioned for the generals to sit down, and then asked Guan Yu, "Yun Chang, what do you think?" ”
Guan Yu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Big brother, junior brother thinks that there are not many soldiers, but the essence. Although the number of the Yellow Turban Army is numerous, the good and the bad are uneven. As the younger brother saw during the day, there were many veterans and weak soldiers, and even if there were more of them, they would not be able to help in the war, and if they were all included in our army, it would probably not be appropriate, and I hope that the eldest brother will think twice."
"Hmm", Gao Yun nodded and said, "What Yun Chang said is quite reasonable. Sit down, brothers, and listen to me. If we want to achieve great things, we must have a long-term strategy. "Pipe" has a cloud, and the beginning of the husband overlord is also people-oriented. This principle will make the country solid, and this chaos will lead to national danger'. However, if there is a great chaos today, the disaster of war is repeated, and the population of the Central Plains has decreased dramatically, resulting in merchants not doing goods, fields not producing rice, and all industries are becoming abandoned. Those prisoners of war who are weak, sick, old, or timid and cowardly, if they are forcibly expelled into battle, will either retreat before the battle or die in vain. Not only did it not help with the war, but it hurt the morale of the three armed forces. But if these people are allowed to return to the fields, they can produce grain and rice. First, it can reduce the suffering of hunger and cold for more people, and second, it can replenish money and food for our army. With such convenience, why don't we wait? Therefore, I think that in order to expand the combat strength of our 'Tiger Army', we must select the best of the best, not only to be strong and brave, but also to voluntarily join the army. The rest of the prisoners of war were allowed to return to their own business, which was not contrary to the original intention of our brothers to benefit the people. What do the brothers think? ”
Gao Yun's remarks made everyone nod their heads again and again, and they all applauded.
Only Sun Bin shook his head slightly, stood up and said to Gao Yun: "Lord, although this method is good, I'm afraid it's a little violated."
"Oh? What's wrong? Mr. Furen, please come and hear it."
"Back to the lord, although the lord's arrangement is a two-pronged strategy, if the Yellow Turban prisoners of war are released privately, it violates the laws of the imperial court. If it is traced, it will be a disaster."
"Hehe, Mr. Furen is too worried, how can I not know the laws of the imperial court. I don't want to let them go back to their hometowns, but to resettle them in the county. Now in the autumn of troubled times, the imperial court will not investigate in detail."
Hearing Gao Yun's words, Sun Bin shook his head again and said: "There is also something wrong with the lord's law, according to what the lord said, it is necessary to select the best among the prisoners of war and be incorporated into the army. As a result, the remaining prisoners of war accounted for six or seven out of ten, and there was no spare land in the county, so if such a large number of people were to return to their own occupations, they had to be allowed to reclaim the surrounding wasteland on their own. However, the newly reclaimed wasteland must be cultivated for a year before the harvest can be seen, and if there is a great chaos today, the Yellow Turban thieves may attack at any time, and the reclaimed wasteland will inevitably be abolished again.
"Hehe", Gao Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Furen really has far-reaching knowledge, and it is really commendable to be prepared for danger in times of peace. But there is no need for the gentleman to be worried. Now the Yellow Turban thieves of the Hanoi generation are all gathered in Quyang and Cangting, fighting with the main force of the official army, and have no time to look around. The two main forces of the thieves in the Yingchuan area, Bocai and Zhang Mancheng, were restrained by Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, and they had no strength to go north. Therefore, Zhuojun can be safe, and Mr. Furen can arrange it with confidence."
Sun Bin was stunned when he heard these words, and he seemed to be surprised how Gao Yun could analyze the general trend of the world so clearly. When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The main public plane is far-sighted, and Sun Bin can't reach it." Please rest assured that Sun Bin will definitely raise and arrange carefully."
Even an old and serious person like Sun Bin was so surprised, and the reaction of the other generals can be imagined. Since the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Gao Yun has never left Zhuo County for half a step, except for leading troops to reinforce Zhuo County. Guan Yu and the others couldn't figure out how Gao Yun could understand the overall war situation so thoroughly. Invisibly, the awe of Gao Yun was a little more.
In fact, the reason why Gao Yun made such a judgment was not just based on the records in historical materials, but the analysis made after the exiled refugees inquired about the situation in various places in detail. It is precisely because of such a conclusive certainty that Gao Yun dares to make such an arrangement.
This time, Gao Yun did not let Gao Shun do the task of selecting soldiers from the prisoners of war, but handed it over to Guan Yu. Because Gao Shun is too good at training, there are almost no poorly trained soldiers in his eyes. Guan Yu is different, his requirements for soldiers are almost harsh, so letting Guan Yu choose can better achieve the purpose of selecting the best among Gao Yun.
For prisoners of war who could not join the army, Gao Yun ordered each of them to be given a certain amount of wasteland and homesteads, and the county government provided agricultural tools and seeds free of charge, allowing them to reclaim wasteland and build houses on their own. For the reclaimed wasteland and completed dwellings, the government grants the property title deed, which belongs to the individual. The reclaimed wasteland shall pay 30% of the official tax in the first year, and 10% every year thereafter. Gao Yun naturally handed over these things to Sun Bin to raise.
After hearing the military order issued by Gao Yun, these Yellow Turban prisoners of war couldn't believe their ears. They all thought that they were certain to die, but they didn't expect that Gao Yun not only did not execute them, but gave them such good treatment. Not only can they choose to have their own houses, their own fields, and bring their wives and children to live together, but they also have the opportunity to join the "Tiger Army" that they envy and enjoy the same treatment as those warriors. They could never have imagined that defeat and capture would become a great thing, and a huge surprise would come to everyone's eyebrows.
"Hi, Brother Li, did you hear that! I'm ready to join the 'Tiger Army'! I can fight with those warriors! Are you going or not? You can sign up with me." A burly man among the prisoners of war invited his companions to join the "Tiger Army" with joy on his face.
"I... I won't go, the 'Tiger Army' is full of warriors who can fight well, and they definitely don't want me." The slightly thin man who was invited by the strong man looked a little lost.
"If you don't try, how do you know that people don't want you!"
"Forget it, I'm still not going, I plan to go back and pick up my mother, cultivate the land well, and live a good life."
As soon as he heard this, the strong man was a little unhappy and shouted: "You are really not righteous! People are so good to us, you just think about living a good life for yourself, and you don't want to repay others! ”
"Who said that I don't want to repay Lord Gao, I farm well and pay more military rations, so I can also repay Lord Gao." The thin man argues with reason.
"Hey, too! I didn't expect that then you would farm the land well and pay more for military rations. I can sign up."
"Well, you go, take the time to come and sit at home."
"Hmm", the strong man agreed, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, and shouted: "I'll sign up!" I want to join the 'Tiger Army'! ”
"I'll sign up too!"
"I'm also going to join the 'Tiger Army'!"
"Me too, I sign up too."
The strong man took the lead, which immediately attracted a large response, and the prisoners of war rushed to join the "Tiger Army" that they were envious of-
