Chapter 256: After the Famous General (Second Watch)
Pei Shiju glanced at Feng An, whose eyes began to roll around, and Feng An, who was obviously already a little excited, continued: "
This time, General Feng also fully showed his civil and military talents, before the official left, Gao Servant had secretly instructed the official, if there are outstanding people here in Lingnan, to recommend to the court as an official, General Feng has made a great contribution this time, the official must be promoted to the court, let you enter the court, and then rank in the court, this is much stronger than you being a hereditary slang leader here.
Besides, the matter of Brother Ling Feng Xuan just now, those who were pardoned all know that if the official just asked you, instead of Li Guangshi, to preside over this extermination, it is inevitable that some disgruntled people will secretly report this matter to the imperial court, and it is difficult to say whether Brother Ling can be preserved at that time. ”
Feng Ang was in a hurry all of a sudden: "Governor Pei, we can all do without the credit this time, please forgive my brother's sins, our Feng family has been loyal to the court for generations, this time my brother just remembered the old feelings, and he was confused for a while, he definitely has no idea of betraying the court!"
Pei Shiju smiled: "General Feng, don't worry, don't panic, Brother Ling will be fine, this official will write to the court, explaining the loyalty and courage of your Feng family in this counterinsurgency, Brother Ling's matter, in the official recital, there will be no mention of a word, this official will explain this matter in detail in the secret report to the high servant, and he will play it to the emperor, the emperor is Wan Shirenjun, since even those rebellious lords can be pardoned, how can Brother Ling's sin be cured, the stability here in Lingnan is inseparable from your Feng family and Mrs. Xian." ”
Feng Ang wiped the sweat from his forehead and squeezed out a smile: "Then there are a lot of good words from Governor Lao Pei, my army is still cleaning up the battlefield." If nothing else. And the lowly general took them back to the camp first. ”
Pei Shiju stood up. He smiled and said: "Then don't leave General Feng, tomorrow night this official will hold a banquet in Panyu City to celebrate the achievement, and the wine and meat of General Feng's department will also be delivered in these two days. ”
Feng Ang nodded: "But according to Governor Pei's orders." When he had finished speaking, he turned and stepped back.
Pei Shiju looked at Murong Sanzang and said with a smile: "Before the official leaves." He also worried that Panyu City was lost, but Gao Servant shot didn't care, he told the official that there was Murong San, the son of Murong Shaozong, a famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who was hiding there, and Panyu City was naturally as stable as Mount Tai. ”
This Murong Sanzang's father, Murong Shaozong, is a descendant of Murong Ke, the king of the former Yan Taiyuan, who died at the hands of the former Qin first, a generation of famous generals. Although Murong Ke's younger brother Murong Chui later successfully restored the country, he took advantage of the defeat of the former Qin Weishui. Houyan was established, but not long after Houyan was wiped out by the emerging Northern Wei Dynasty, the dynasty hegemony, in a blink of an eye, when it reached Murong Shaozong, he was already a general of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Murong clan is famous for being good at war, resourceful, in the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, this family has been a famous general from generation to generation, and the family has become its own art of war, Murong Shaozong also got this family art of war, and became a famous general in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and later the border guards of the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty rebelled, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into two Wei states in the East and the West, and the powerful minister Gao Huan and the general Yuwentai each became the actual rulers of the Eastern and Western Wei, and Murong Shaozong followed Gao Huan.
Gao Huan's number one general, that is, Hou Jing, the Hu man who later plagued Southern Liang, had been afraid of Gao Huan's great martial arts before Gao Huan's death, and did not dare to act rashly, as soon as Gao Huan died, Hou Jing couldn't wait to pull the flag and rebel, but he didn't expect Gao Huan to leave a will before he died, saying that after his death, Hou Jing would rebel, and the only one who defeated Hou Jing in the Eastern Wei Dynasty was Murong Shaozong.
Sure enough, Murong Shaozong became the general of the counterinsurgency army, beat the rampant Hou Jing to the point of urine, and finally fled to Nanliang with only 800 people, and it was with this battle that Murong Shaozong's status as a famous general in the world was established, and Murong Sanzang was Murong Shaozong's son-in-law.
Murong Sanzang sighed: "Governor Pei has won the award, the general is just doing his duty, General Wei was too big that day, he didn't gather the troops scattered everywhere, and only took a thousand people to go out of the city to meet the rebels, but he died in ambush, and the general only regretted that he didn't hold on at that time, at least follow General Wei to fight." ”
Pei Shiju said: "General Murong, what is the situation in the city now?" How much did the civilians and sergeants lose in this rebellion? Are there any statistics? ”
Murong Sanzang thought for a while and said: "There are more than 100,000 people and merchants in Panyu City, this time the city has been defended for eight months, and yesterday it was counted, there are about 90,000 people, and the soldiers brought into Guangzhou by General Wei reached 20,000, and after three rotations, there are more than 17,000 people, and there are still more than 5,000 people left in the city this time to fight, and the remaining 6,000 people are wounded and sick, so they are afraid that they must be treated quickly."
Governor Pei, if it weren't for the soldiers in the north who were not accustomed to the water and soil of this Lingnan land, and most of them fell ill, our army would have been able to defeat the rebels in the front. ”
Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "General Murong don't worry, I have a Lingnan native here, the current governor of the account, named Mai Tiecane, he has a unique secret recipe, you can use a kind of herb in Wuling to make a medicinal soup that clears heat and detoxifies people, as long as you drink this medicinal soup, you can be refreshed and relieve the miasma. ”
Murong Sanzang's eyes widened in surprise: "Really? Is there such a magical potion? We've been in Panyu for two years, and the doctors in the city haven't prescribed this kind of medicine. ”
Wang Huaqiang smiled: "These are the secret recipes of the Mai Tie Cane family, and they need the herbs on the five ridges, we have also brought a lot of herbs along the way this time, if General Murong needs it, we can make a decoction now, let the sick soldiers drink it, if nothing happens, within three days, the epidemic in the city will be stopped." Moreover, General Feng also brought a lot of their miasma poison this time, which can be sent along with it. ”
Pei Shiju thought for a while and said: "General Murong, what you said makes sense, I am afraid that the epidemic in the city will not be cured in the next two days, and the celebration banquet is better in this big camp, without further ado, you go to our army now to find the tent of the Metropolitan Governor Mai Tiecane, we have explained this matter to him, and he will bring herbs to the city with you to treat the disease." ”
Murong Sanzang laughed: "Then thank you two, let's drink the celebration wine here tomorrow!" After speaking, he turned around in a dashing manner, the big red cloak floated without wind, and the man walked out of the tent quickly.
There were only two people left in the tent, Pei Shiju and Wang Huaqiang, Pei Shiju put away his smile, glanced at Wang Huaqiang, and sighed softly: "Huaqiang, do you think I'm too ruthless and don't know me a little?" ”
Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "It's all for the sake of state affairs, your approach is very right, to use razing to control razing, and create hatred and conflict among the barbarians in Lingnan, so as to ensure the stability of our Han rule, but why didn't you mention this practice when you first entered Lingnan, but you suddenly announced it here today?" To be honest, it did come as a bit of a surprise to me. ”
Pei Shiju said: "This strategy was decided by me before I traveled, and the Lingnan area has long been a wild place, and my Han people regard it as fearful, unless it is an exiled prisoner or a derogatory official, almost no one wants to come to Lingnan." Therefore, there are only more than 100,000 Han people in the Lingnan area, while the number of barbarians of the Slang Dong people is as high as one million, far exceeding the Han people.
For many years, the Han people lived in a few large cities, while the vast countryside and mountains were the homes of the Slang people, and this situation could not be fundamentally changed in a few decades, or even hundreds of years, because even if the Han people were to move to Lingnan, one or two thousand people a year, it would take at least sixty or seventy years for the Han people to be basically equal in number.
