28 Generously ended the aftermath of the war, but reluctantly won the name of the courtesy
Everyone listened to Deng Zhan's narration, and they were also glad for Deng Zhan, although Deng Zhan's eloquence was average and his narration was not wonderful, but from his narration, they could also hear a thrilling feeling.
According to Yang Xu and Wen Ping, Zhao Ci's martial arts are quite good, Deng Zhan can track for several hours, and finally successfully kill Zhao Ci, which is really not an easy thing, which requires perseverance, careful tracking and searching, strong skills, and a little luck.
And Deng Zhan had all these things, so he successfully killed Zhao Ci and made this great achievement.
In the afternoon, Wang Rong sent a messenger, after receiving the good news of Huang Zhongjun, the army led by him has successfully forced the Zhangling rebellion, stationed in Zhangling, and recovered the emperor's township, and now has sent people to persuade the enemy army in Suixian, Xiangxiang, Fuyang, and Pingshi to surrender.
Wang Rong also asked Yang Xu to send county soldiers and scribes to Zhangling and other counties to prepare to receive the city and pacify the people.
The good news made everyone rejoice.
Recovering the emperor's hometown is a great achievement!
Everyone was relieved, and Huang Zhong said goodbye to Yang Xu, his troops had already camped outside the city, and he was going back to camp.
After returning to the camp, Wang Heng returned to his camp, and he called a military doctor to give medicine to Deng Zhan's wounds, although Deng Zhan said lightly, but the place where he was injured was already high, red and swollen, obviously not lightly.
After applying the medicine, Wang Heng asked, "Ah Zhan, have you ever taken a word?" ”
Deng Zhan said: "My father died early, and no one gave his subordinates words. ”
Wang Heng said: "Then how about I give you a word?" ”
Deng Zhan was overjoyed, and Heng Gongzi personally chose the words for himself, which was not only a great honor, but also said that he would become Heng Gongzi's confidant in the future. He said happily, "Of course." ”
Wang Heng smiled slightly, began to groan, and after a long time, he said to Deng Zhan: "Then how about I give you the word 'Kaiyuan'?" ”
Deng Zhan muttered: "Go far, go far!" ”
He bowed respectfully to the ground, regardless of the injury of his left leg, and saluted Wang Heng and said, "Thank you for the great grace of the son!" ”
Wang Heng asked Deng Zhan to go back to his tent to rest, and pondered, with Deng Zhan's ability and character, he felt that it was very suitable for him to form a special force, which could play a huge role in the war of this era.
Of course, it's still too early to talk about this, but now we can prepare for it.
**********
More than 3,000 rebel troops in the five counties surrendered, and Wang Ei's task of quelling the rebellion was successfully completed.
Two days later, Wang Rong led more than 8,000 troops and more than 3,000 prisoners to Huyang County, where he joined Huang Zhongjun and the Nanyang County soldiers.
Wang Rong is a famous man in Langya, Yang Xu is a famous man in Taishan, both belong to Shandong Province in modern times, and they are also neighboring counties in the late Han Dynasty, and the straight-line distance between the two places is only more than 200 miles, so the two have met before, which is an old acquaintance.
This meeting, the two also had a lot of noise.
After the hustle and bustle, it was time to discuss all kinds of matters after the war.
The matters after the war are complicated, but first of all, of course, the victory is reported to the imperial court, and presumably the emperor and the bigwigs in the imperial court are also waiting for this good news. Not to mention that Zhangling is the emperor's hometown and the emperor's tomb, let's just say that the general He Jin is a native of Wancheng, Nanyang, of course he cares about the results of the Nanyang Rebellion.
After discussion, the two drew up a recital, wrote down the detailed battle situation of the battle, and wrote the names of all the meritorious soldiers, asking for merit for them, and after the two signed, they sent the recital and the head of the thief chief Zhao Ci to Luoyang on a fast horse.
With the ethics of the two of them, they will naturally not ignore the merits of their subordinates.
Next, it is the compensation for the casualties and the people, Wang Ei's subordinates have no casualties, but the rewards for the meritorious soldiers are still indispensable, and the casualties of the soldiers of Nanyang County and the people of the six counties affected by the war are very heavy, and their pensions are a huge number.
However, after defeating the rebel army, Wang Rong's army also seized a huge amount of booty, after the rebel army captured the five counties southeast of Nanyang, the five counties were looted, and the powerful landlords of the five counties were caught off guard, and the family wealth accumulated by the war for more than 100 years was robbed clean by the rebel army, and their clansmen were almost killed.
This huge amount of money, grain and wealth were stored in Xiangxiang City by Zhao Ci, ready to be used as his capital to recruit troops and compete for the world in the future, but he did not expect to be attacked by Huang Zhongjun, his chaotic army was wiped out, and his own head became the credit of Deng Zhan, and the wealth he grabbed became the spoils of others.
After leaving the rewards of the meritorious soldiers, Wang Rong generously handed over all the remaining booty to Yangxu, so that he could use the wealth as a pension for the wounded soldiers and the people, and for post-war reconstruction.
Wang Rong's generosity made Yang Xu a little embarrassed, and he offered to allocate tens of thousands of stone grain as military rations for the state soldiers in these trophies, but Wang Rong said that a lot of military rations had been transferred from Wuling and Nanjun counties, and this battle did not last long, so the consumption of military rations was not large, and there was no need for Yang Xu to allocate military rations. Now that Nanyang County has gone through this turmoil, several counties in the southeast are devastated, and these materials are even more needed.
Yang Xu was very moved, but he really needed these materials very much now, so he didn't refuse, but he also said that when he sent these money, food and materials, he must explain to the beneficiaries and the people that this is the kindness of Lord Thorn Shi.
Wang Heng also agrees with Wang Heng's approach, for him, no matter how much money there is, it is just a number, and they should be sent to those who need it most.
The third thing is the disposal of these nearly 10,000 prisoners, so many prisoners, it is impossible for them all to join the county soldiers, Nanyang County is not needed now, and it cannot afford to raise so many county soldiers.
Of course, these captives can't be killed, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled the year before last, the famous generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had killed hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban prisoners, but this move was also considered cruel and unkind, Wang Rong and Yang Xu were both celebrities, so naturally they would not do such a brutal thing.
After admonishing and educating these captives, they were all released and placed in Nanyang County to enrich the population of the five southeastern counties of Nanyang. In fact, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion the year before last, after Yang continued to defeat the Lujiang Yellow Turban, the treatment of the captives was done in this way, and it also received good results.
Wang Rong was a little hesitant, he thought that this would inevitably be a little cheaper for these rebels.
At this time, Wang Heng put forward his own opinion, he thought that the prisoners could be screened, those bloody and heinous rebels should be punished, while the other prisoners should serve three years of hard labor, and then they could be made civilians, he felt that this would allow these prisoners to get the punishment they deserved, and make full use of their manpower, and also give them a chance to repent, which can be described as a triple thing.
If the prisoners of the rebellious army are released without punishment, it will inevitably cause a bad demonstration effect, and if they want to rebel in the future, they will rebel, and if the rebellion fails, they will surrender, and they will be released in the end anyway.
As for what to let these captives do, Wang Heng thought that they could be allowed to build roads, repair cities, etc., otherwise, these conscripts would fall on the people again.
After thinking about it carefully, Yang Xu nodded and said, "Shuping is very good!" ”
As a result, the fate of these captives was decided, and the guilty ones were to be screened out and punished severely, while the other captives were to remain in Nanyang County to serve hard labor, repair the cities they had destroyed, and build official roads, and wait until they had served three years of hard labor before being released to enrich the population of Nanyang.
Wang Heng's thoughtfulness also made Yang Xu appreciate it very much, and he praised Wang Heng in front of Wang Heng, and of course Wang Heng thanked him again and again.
Yang Xu, a world-famous celebrity who praised Wang Heng so much, is also very beneficial to Wang Heng's reputation in the future.
After several important matters had been discussed, Yang Xu invited Wang Rong to Wancheng for a gathering, where he waited for the will of the imperial court.
On the way to Wancheng, Wang Heng also intended to make friends with Wen Ping, for this general's talent, he is also determined to win, although he is still serving in the Nanyang County Army, but when the day of the world chaos, the Wang family actually controlled Jingzhou, Wen Ping is still his subordinate? So it's good to have a good relationship with him now.
Wen Ping is also from the scholar clan, so he naturally understands how famous Wang Heng is among the scholar clan, and he also respects Wang Heng very much, so Wang Heng took the initiative to make friends with him, and he also felt a little flattered, and the relationship between the two also heated up.
Wang Ei's army first marched northwest from Huyang to Xinye, and then stationed here, and Wang Rong only took his staff to Wancheng.
Two days later, the army marched to Xinye, where Wang Rong planned to rest for the night, and then set off for Wancheng the next day.
But as soon as he arrived in Xinye, someone asked to see Wang Heng, Wang Heng felt a little strange, so he asked Yao Gang to bring someone in.
Yao Gang brought people in to take a look, it turned out to be Fan Jun, and Wang Heng immediately realized that something had happened.
Sure enough, Fan Jun told Wang Heng that Lin Bin had already mastered a large amount of evidence of Cao Yin's father and son's misdeeds, because Wang Heng had instructed Lin Bin before leaving Wuling that as long as substantial evidence was obtained, he could be sent to Nanyang immediately, so Lin Bin sent Fan Jun to send the evidence to Nanyang quickly.
In addition, Lin Bin sent people to Luoyang to contact the general He Jin, and they had already established a relationship with He Jin with a large amount of money and wine, and He Jin hinted that he would speak at a critical moment. Several other important ministers of the imperial court, Lin Bin, also sent people to contact them, and the progress is still good.
This time Fan Jun came with a few guards, all the way to the fast horse, he inquired all the way, only to know that Wang Heng's army had won a big victory, and now he was heading to Xinye, so he went straight to Xinye, because they were fast horses, the speed was faster than the army, so he arrived in Xinye about half an hour earlier than Wang Heng, and when Wang Heng arrived in Xinye, he did not delay for a moment, and immediately asked to see Wang Heng.
After Wang Heng listened, Wen Yan said to Fan Jun: "Zishen, you have done a good job, you have worked hard!" ”
Fan Jun said excitedly: "Childe, I'm not hard. ”
Wang Heng asked, "Where is the evidence?" ”
Fan Jun said: "It's on my guards." ”
Wang Heng asked Fan Jun to bring in a few guards, and he looked through the evidence, which was indeed very informative and enough to convict Cao Yin's father and son.
He immediately took Fan Jun and these evidences to see Wang Rong, Wang Rong was also very decisive, since he had already decided to impeach Cao Yin, now that he had the evidence, he no longer hesitated, he immediately wrote a letter to impeach Cao Yin, together with all the evidence, and sent a messenger to Luoyang immediately.
Wang Heng asked Fan Jun and several of his guards to rest, and then went back to his camp, at this time, Deng Zhanlai asked Wang Heng for leave, saying that he wanted to go home.
Wang Heng smiled and asked, "What?" Did you take the reward money and go home to see a little lady? Is your left leg healed? ”
Although Deng Zhan was seventeen years old, he was actually only sixteen years old according to his actual age, and when he heard Wang Heng make such a joke with him, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he snorted: "Childe, my left leg is fine." This time I went home to see my mother. ”
It turned out that Deng Zhan had made a great contribution this time, even if Wang Rong rewarded him with ten catties of gold, and now he has returned to his hometown Xinye, he naturally wants to go home to visit his widowed mother, his mother has been widowed for several years, and he has worked hard to pull Deng Zhan up, and now that his son is out, he also wants to give the gold to his mother, so that his mother's life is better.
Only then did Wang Heng know why Deng Zhan was so eager to get ahead, it turned out to be because of his mother! He couldn't help but be in awe of Deng Zhan, and he said to Deng Zhan: "Kaiyuan, it turns out that you are still a filial son!" In this way, if you don't have any other relatives at home, don't give all the gold to your mother when you go back this time, give her a little money first, let her pack up her things, and when we go back to Wuling, take her with you, and you can take care of your mother nearby. ”
Ten catties of gold can be exchanged for two or three hundred thousand yuan in this year, which is a huge amount of money for the Deng family, if it is all handed over to Deng Zhan's mother, it is indeed too unsafe, so what Wang Heng said is the safest way.
Deng Zhan was grateful, and he saluted Wang Heng and said, "Deng Zhan has thanked Gongzi for his great kindness!" ”
Deng Zhan's family really doesn't have any immediate family members, and there is nothing else to be nostalgic for here, if he can move to Wuling with Wang Heng, then his mother will naturally be able to live a good life.
Wang Heng said gently: "Then you can go back, you don't have to go to Wancheng this time, stay at home with your mother!" ”
Deng Zhan was even more overjoyed when he heard this, this time Wang Heng went to Wancheng, he would only bring the main generals, staff and elite troops of a thousand people, and the others would stay in Xinye and wait for them to return, which would take at least a few days, which was equivalent to Wang Heng giving him a few days off, he thanked Wang Heng again, and then went away.
**********
A few days later, Wang Rong and his entourage arrived at Nanyang County Zhiwan City, along the way, many Nanyang clans, Qianshou people have eaten pot pulp to reward the state soldiers who came to Nanyang to quell the chaos, and some of the Nanyang clan heads who had supported Wang Heng also visited Wang Heng one by one, and to this day, they are very glad that they have made a political investment in Wang Heng.
Many Nanyang scholars also visited Wang Heng, which also reflects how famous Wang Heng is in Jingzhou now. Among them, there are some young scholars who also want to leave an impression in front of Wang Heng, if they can be favored by Wang Heng, it would be best to recommend them to the assassin history, and some people also brought their own articles, asking Wang Heng to be axe, in fact, they hope that their talents can impress Wang Heng.
There is no way, the scholars have read the books for so many years, and most of them still want to have a future, but there are too few opportunities to get ahead in this era, filial piety and Maocai are good, but the number of places is too small, and it is impossible for them to directly meet the assassin or the county guard, so it is also good to meet the prince of the assassin under the pretext of admiring him.
For these scholars, Wang Heng did not treat them coldly, he always left the other party's articles with a smile, as well as name, place of origin and other information, so that the other party had a hope, and also let himself win a good reputation as a corporal of Lixian, of course, he would also let Han Da take a look at these people's articles first, see the articles that are indeed talented, and then read them by him personally, and maybe find a few useful talents.
Later, after the reputation of Corporal Wang Heng Lixian spread, some forty or fifty-year-old scholars who were embarrassed to come to see Wang Heng such a young man took their own articles to ask Heng Gongzi to correct the axe, which made Wang Heng a little crying and laughing.
Although Wang Heng did not find a familiar name among these scholars, Han Da still found a few good articles in the past few days, and Wang Heng also felt good after reading them, and then he would give the names of these people to Gongcao Cui Yan and let him investigate.
The next day after coming to Wancheng, another scholar came to see Wang Heng, Wang Heng thought that he was the kind of scholar who came to ask about the future, and sighed in his heart, but he still had to cheer up to receive it, the reputation of this corporal Lixian is difficult to earn, but it is easy to break it, just like Cao Cao, who has been virtuous and capable all his life, but gave him a bad impression in front of Zhang Song, and Zhang Song gave Liu Bei the geographical map of Xichuan, which is a negative example.
He, Wang Heng, doesn't have any capital to be arrogant in front of the scholars now.
When Han Da brought in a scholar who looked to be nearly thirty years old, Wang Heng's eyes lit up, and he saw that this scholar was seven feet five inches tall, with a tall figure, and a vigorous and heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and looking at his walking posture, it was obvious that he had practiced martial arts, and he was used to carrying a sword, but before seeing himself, his guards let him go to the sword.
In this era, there were many Confucian scholars and scholars with swords, but many of them were only used for decoration, and there were not many who had practiced martial arts like this scholar, which made Wang Heng have a lot of good feelings towards him all of a sudden.
Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes, thank you for your old week!
