。。。 Stayed up all night, this is the second shift...

——

If Shanzhou had not been lost, and if Caozhou had not been threatened, perhaps Richardan would not have had to punish Wang Baobao, just like he said, "Allow him to make meritorious contributions." But now, Shanzhou and Chengwu are all lost, and Caozhou is in danger, but as Li Weixin said, "when the soldiers are working hard and the three armies are dying".

Li Chahan is experienced in the army, and naturally knows that the more at this moment, the more he needs to "reward and punish strictly", so he has no choice but to follow Li Weixin's advice, pass down the military order, and summon all the generals together, and severely punish Wang Baobao for the crimes of defeating the army, losing the division, and losing the land. ——,According to military law, he should be beheaded.

Of course, "chopping" will definitely not be "chopping".

As soon as the military order was given, Li Weixin and the generals knelt on the ground and pleaded for mercy, asking Chakhan Timur to spare Wang Baobao from death and punish him in another way.

Chakhan Timur pushed the boat down the river and said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped!" and he rebuked one hundred and seven with a rod. ”

Li Weixin pleaded for Wang Baobao again, and said: "At present, Caozhou is in danger, and when people are being employed, if the little general is punished by this cane, it will be difficult to act, and it will be unfavorable to the war." In the next fight, I also asked the lord to send the one hundred and seven rods and send them for the future. ”

Chahan pretended to hesitate, and all the generals echoed Li Weixin and said: "Please also ask the lord to send the cane punishment power and leave it for the day after tomorrow." ”

"Since the generals intercede for you, this rod will be sent down! ......, if you can make a contribution to the aid of Caozhou, you can be exempted from deduction as appropriate; If you still refuse to use your life and have no combat achievements, you will be punished for two offenses! ”

Minor sins are flogged, and greater sins are flogged. The punishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the "cane punishment" is based on seven as the mantissa number, starting from seven, the highest flogging punishment is fifty-seven, the highest cane punishment is one hundred and seven, and the beating one hundred and seven strokes is the most. Naturally, military law is different from criminal law, but if you are beaten with a hundred and seven military sticks, even if you are an iron man, you will have to lose half of your life, and if you don't raise it for ten days and a half months, your injuries will be difficult to heal.

- As for why the "cane punishment" is based on seven as the mantissa number, it comes from Mongolian customs. That is, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Mengyuan dynasty, said: "Heaven spare him, earth spare him, I spare him."

Speaking of "cane punishment", I have to say one more thing. Meng Yuan's minus three strokes seems to be sympathetic to the people and lenient in political behavior, but in fact, compared with the Tang and Song dynasties, the punishment is heavier. In the Tang and Song dynasties, the highest "cane punishment" was 50, and the highest "cane punishment" was 100, all of which were less than those of the Mengyuan Dynasty. However, compared with the Liao Dynasty, Meng Yuan's punishment was relatively light. The Liao Dynasty did not use "flogging", only "cane punishment", up to 300.

After the punishment of Wang Baobao, because of the urgent military situation, Chakhan Timur did not stay long, immediately dispatched the generals, and left the bowl city on the same day, and went straight to Caozhou.

……

Yidu.

At the same time that Chakhan Timur decided to rush to the aid of Caozhou instead, and the eight thousand elites gathered out of the bowl city, Gao Yanshi and Liu San escorted the captives and soldiers of Xu and Su Erzhou to Yidu.

Pawns and the like have their own special personnel to take over. Deng She had already vacated a large camp, which was specially used to arrange for the surrender of soldiers; And mobilized 2,000 households to take care of them temporarily. As for Lu Ju, Lu Li, Liang Shiyin, Zhang Guan, Xiao Yuan, Liu Feng and others, Deng She met them in the lobby of Yanwang's Mansion.

In order to show his tolerant attitude, Dunshe did not wear royal clothes, but only civilian clothes. This way it doesn't look overwhelming.

He also did not bring too many people to the meeting. There are only three people on the side, Hong Jixun, Wu Henian and Guo Conglong. Coupled with Gao Yanshi and Liu San, who accompanied the audience, and Shi Sanqian, who stood in the hall to escort him, there were a total of six subordinates on Haidong's side. And there are also a total of six people in Xu and Su Prefectures.

In this way, in terms of numbers, the winner's side and the loser's side are equal, at least on the surface.

Gao Yanshi was the first, and after the three halls of Liu, the group walked into the hall, divided into two columns, and bowed.

Deng She ordered to be exempted, and said with a smile: "When I come to my house with you today, it is a private meeting between me and you, and I don't need to practice public etiquette, just meet you as a guest and host!" ”

He looked at the crowd, signaled that Gao Yanshi didn't need to be introduced, smiled at Lu Ju, and said, "Jun will be the prince of the mainland." He nodded Lu Li with a smile and said, "Jun Bi Xiao Lu Gong!" ”

Lu Ju and Lu Li are both surnamed Lu, and both of them belong to Zhang Shicheng, and the two prefectures of Xu and Su, which are located respectively, are both important places in Huaisi, and they are not more than 100 miles apart, so some good people give them a nickname, called "Big and Small Lu". Lu Ju is older, it is for the mainland; Lu Li is relatively young, and he is a little Lu.

After Deng She finished speaking, he asked Gao Yanshi: "I guessed right?" ”

"The lord is born with a discerning eye, and he is right when he says it. Guessed right. ”

"Do you know why I guessed correctly?"

"I don't know."

"I have heard for a long time that the mainland prince was born with a vision, his eyes and eyebrows are short, and he is the appearance of a tiger and a wolf; I have heard for a long time that Xiao Lu Gong is handsome and the most romantic. Although I don't know people, I can't say that my eyes are like torches, but I have admired the second prince for a long time, and now that the real person has come to the front, I can naturally distinguish it. ......Ha ha. ”

Look at the hall again, as he said. Lu Ju not only has almost no eyebrows, but also has very few eyelashes, and there is almost nothing to hide on his eyes, which looks quite strange. And Lu Li's sideburns are like a knife, his eyebrows are like ink paintings, his nose is like hanging gall, and his eyes are like autumn waves, he is indeed the appearance of a beautiful man.

Erlu just got up, and when he heard this, he knelt on the ground again and said, "The king praises! We are waiting for the body of a subordinate, and we really dare not do this. ”

Deng She said with a smile: "I said that I don't have to meet each other politely, please get up quickly." ”

He turned his eyes to the rest, pointed at them one by one, and said: "This gentleman behind the mainland duke, with a clear face and a talent, must be Mr. Liang, a famous man from Huaisi." ......, the tiger next to Mr. Liang is a wolf, with strong bones and strong muscles, and he is proud of heroism, and he will be the tiger general Xiao of Xuzhou. ......, the one behind General Xiao, with ape arms and bee waist, although he is dressed as a military general, he has an elegant bearing, needless to say, he must be General Zhang Guanzhang. ......, this general's face is like an iron bowl, and his beard is curly, so it must be General Liu Feng and Liu? ”

All right. Lu Ju couldn't help but sigh.

Deng She asked strangely, "Why is the Duke of the Mainland sighing?" “

"The king is not going to benefit the capital, but the people of Xu and Su can understand me so well! The Art of War: 'Know yourself and know your opponent, win all battles'. How can I, Xu and Su, be undefeated, and how can the king not be defeated? ”

"Haha. ......, do you know why I know so much about you? ”

"I'm about to ask the king for clarification."

"Without it, only because of the names of the kings. Who in the world doesn't know you? Although I am far away in Yidu, I have already heard of it! I don't hide it, I have always had the intention of meeting you, and I can finally get my long-cherished wish today, soon, soon! ......, ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. ”

Everyone sat down, and the maid served tea.

From the beginning of entering the hall, Lu Li's eyes mostly fell on Deng She, followed by Hong Jixun, and now that he was seated, he was just diagonally opposite Hong Jixun, and he couldn't help but look at him frequently.

Deng She noticed it and was very understanding, and without waiting for him to ask, he took the initiative to introduce and said: "This Mr. Hong Jixun Hong is relied on by me, and he is really my Haidong think tank. ”

"But Shuangcheng Honggong?"

"Exactly."

Lu Li was in awe, hurriedly got up, bowed to the end, and said respectfully: "The name of Hong Gong has been admired for a long time!" In the past, when I was still in Suzhou, I once heard this sentence, saying, 'Liaozuo is a famous general, and there is no Wenchen; Haidong heroes, only Honggong'. I have admired Hong Gong for a long time, and now I have to see it, and I am fortunate to have three lives! ”

Lu Li is handsome, Hong Jixun is even more handsome, and the two beautiful men are talking to each other, which is very pleasing to the eye.

However, despite the eye-catching, Hong Jixun couldn't help but move when he heard the words, his face changed, he got up and returned the salute, and said with a positive face: "'Liaozuo Famous General' and 'Haidong Hero' Yunyun, Jixun is lonely and ugly, I have never heard of it, I don't know where Xiao Lugong heard about it?" This praise is too exaggerated! ”

"The king also said that the prince is the think tank of Haidong, so why should the prince be humble?"

Hong Jixun wanted to say more, but Deng She interrupted him with a smile and said, "The name of Mr. Yi is also far away." 'Liaozuo famous general, no Wen Chen; Haidong heroes, only Honggong'. In my opinion, this statement is not wrong. I think that since Yongping started the army, thanks to the strength of Mr. Without Mr., there would be no Haidong today. ......, Xiao Lu Gong, do you know who this first came from? ”

"The sinner is just hearsay, but I don't know who it first came from."

Deng She shook his head again and again and said, "It's a pity! ”

"What is the king's pity?"

"The person who can say this must be very knowledgeable, but unfortunately he can't see it because he doesn't know who it is."

"The king is thirsty for talent, no wonder Haidong is thriving."

"If there is chaos today, the people are not able to make a living. I'm not afraid of the jokes of the gentlemen, although I started from the grass and the bottom of the people, but I also have some ambitions, and I am willing to solve the upside down for the common people. Or because of my limited ability, I can't do this, but I also hope to be able to protect the people. Since I have such a wish, of course I am eager to seek talents. ”

Lu Ju said: "The king can have this wish, and the blessing of the people in the world is blessed." ”

The guest and the host answered each other and talked for a long time.

Deng She asked Xiao Yuan and said, "I heard that the general is from Shandong?" ”

"Yes."

"Many of the generals under my command were born in Shandong." Deng She turned around and pointed to Guo Conglong, who was standing beside him, and said with a smile: "Although Wuzi is not from Shandong and is from Hebei, in general, the two of you can be regarded as fellow villagers." ”

First, Hebei and Shandong are adjacent; Second, both places belong to the same belly, and although it is a bit far-fetched to say that they are fellow villagers, they can also be said to be so-so. "Wuzi" is Guo Conglong's nickname.

Xiao Yuan is a military general, just as Lu Li will be interested in Hong Jixun, he has also secretly paid attention to Guo Conglong for a long time. At this time, hearing Deng She's indirect introduction, he hurriedly got up to salute and said, "It turns out that the general is Guo Wuzi." ......, the name of the Yaksha, I've heard it for a long time! Guo Conglong's back is embroidered with a laughing day yaksha, so it is sometimes called "Guo Yasha".

"General Xiao's name, I've admired it for a long time." Guo Conglong returned the salute.

Just now two ministers met, and now it becomes two generals meeting. Hong Jixun's face changed slightly, but at this moment, it became Gao Yanshi who rolled his eyes. When Deng She's entry into Yidu, Gao Yanshi and Guo Conglong had a fight, but because he drank too much wine at that time, he was defeated by Guo Conglong. Gao Yanshi is such an arrogant person, although he and Guo Conglong are real Hebei villagers, they have never been able to let go of this.

Seeing Guo Conglong return the salute meticulously, he rolled his eyes and muttered: "Obviously a rough man, he is a partial student and learns to be a showman!" Hehe, just pretending to be Sven and returning the courtesy. I'm not afraid to make people laugh! ”

Deng She didn't pay attention to his small movements, Guo Conglong Kequan saw it in his eyes, and after returning the salute, he deliberately held his head high, standing majestically beside Deng She's seat, squinting at him, and reaching out to touch the longbow that straddled his waist. At this moment, Gao Yanshi suddenly felt like he was taken aback, and he was so angry that he almost fell off his seat. It must be known that when he fought Guo Conglong that day, he suffered under the arrow.

"The villain is rampant when he gets his will! ......, that's it, Lao Tzu is returning to the dynasty victoriously today, happy! There are a lot of adults, and they don't have the same knowledge as this stupid guy who has shrunk and has not caught any military exploits. Gao Yanshi snorted and turned his face away and stopped looking at him.

Deng She smiled diligently and waited for Guo Conglong and Xiao Yuan to meet each other, and then asked Liang Shiyin and said, "Mr. has lived in Dayi for a long time, and now he has traveled all the way to my Yidu." I don't know what I think of the customs and customs of Shandong? ”

"The state of Qilu saints, the folk customs are simple and heavy. The criminal ministers traveled all the way, and saw that although the prefectures and counties along the way had only been attacked by soldiers a few years ago, the cities had been repaired and repaired, and the soldiers and soldiers were strictly disciplined, and they had not committed any crimes with the people. There are no homeless people on the road, and there are no thieves on the road. The king's ability to govern the country can be seen from this! ”

"This is not my power, it is the power of Hong Gong and Wu Gong."

"Dare to ask the king, is the Duke of Wu you are talking about Mr. Songzhai?" Wu Henian, called Songzhai.

"Exactly. I meet you today, and Wu Gong was supposed to come, but because he had some official business temporarily, he couldn't get out, so he had to wait until tomorrow to see you again. ”

"I have heard that Wu Gongming has learned laws and orders and is proficient in government affairs. Under the fame, there is no vain! There are many talents in the palace, which is really gratifying. ”

"If we say that there are many talents, today we are full of talents. As you all know, I have always been in Haidong, and I just came to Yidu not long ago, and I am not very familiar with the situation in the Huaisi area. Now, because the princes pity the suffering of the people and do not want to harm them with the flames of war, they brought Xu and Su Erzhou to Yidu. Do you have any lessons on how to govern Xu and Su, and how to protect the territory and the people? ”

After talking for a long time, Deng She's sentence can be regarded as turning to the topic.

Lu Ju, Lu Li, Liang Shiyin and others have been in Huaisi for a long time, and they can all be described as snake-level figures, who know the situation in Huaisi the most, and have the most say in how to govern Xu and Su. Moreover, through this question, it is also possible to identify who is truly surrendering and who is false and wronged. Therefore, no matter whether it is from the public, this question of Deng She must be asked.

Lu Ju and Lu Li glanced at each other.

Lu Li said first: "Huaisi is an important town, and Xu and Su are the first. The king has now gained Xu and Su, and has firmly established himself in the land of Huaisi. Despite this, the two places of Xuzhou and Suzhou have long been owned by Shicheng. Shicheng is generous and benevolent, and he is quite popular with the people. Therefore, the sinner is foolish, and the king must not be careless! ”

"Shicheng is lenient and benevolent, quite popular with the people? ......, then, what should Xiao Lu Gong do to govern Xu? ”

"In the autumn of troubled times, governing the place is naturally in armament! Especially in the case of Xu and Su, from the officials and subordinates to the Li people, there are many people who still think about Shicheng, and they especially need to pay attention to armaments! ”

Deng She groaned and said: "Xiao Lu Gong means that I should govern Xu and Su with military law? ”

"The judgment of this criminal minister is all on the king."

"......, Lord Mainland, what do you think?"

"'Tolerance and fierceness are mutually beneficial, and government is based on peace'. The sinner thought that although the people of Xu and Su did still have a lot of sincerity, after all, Xu and Su were new to the king, so why bother? Shicheng is certainly lenient, but why is the king not benevolent? As long as the king can transfer the experience of governing Liaodong, Goryeo, and Shandong to Xu and Su, and be restless for a while, if time passes, why don't Xu and Su people worry about not having to return to the king? ”

Deng She nodded and said with a smile: "The second duke is worthy of Huaisi celebrities, and his views are very unique. He praised in his mouth, but he was very disappointed in his heart, what Lu Ju and Lu Li said was the strategy of ordinary people, there was nothing surprising, he paused, and then asked Liang Shiyin, saying, "What is Mr. Liang's opinion, can you teach me?" ”

As the city guards of Xuzhou and Suzhou, Lu Ju and Lu Li's strategies are nothing more than that, and what strategies can Liang Shiyin, as Lu Ju's staff, present? Deng She's question was perfunctory, and he couldn't ask Lu Ju and Lu Li, so he didn't ask at the bottom. However, the answer he received couldn't help but lift his spirits.

"How to govern Xu and Su is a big deal. The sinner is only shallow in his knowledge and does not dare to speak falsely. However, during the Three Kingdoms, there was a famous man in Xuzhou, named Chen Deng, I wonder if the king can know? ”

"Chen Yuanlong is both civil and military, 'should seek it in Guer, it is difficult to compare with it'. Of course I know this person. ”

"When you ask for it, it is difficult to compare with it", is Liu Bei's evaluation of Chen Deng's words. This means that people like Chen Deng can only seek it from ancient times, and it is difficult for contemporary people to compare with it.

Liang Shiyin said: "Sun Quan encircles Chen Deng Yu Kuangqi. Chen Deng sent Gong Cao Chen Jiao to Xu Du to ask for help, saying that Cao Cao said: "Although the county is small, the country of convenience is also, if it is rescued and made for the outside of the basket, then the Wu people will file and plot, Xu Fang Yong'an, the martial arts are far away, the benevolence is surging, the country that has not followed, the scenery is attached, the virtue is raised, and this royal industry is also." ......, since the king knows Chen Deng, he must also know what Chen Jiao said. The criminal thinks that this passage is suitable for the present and is used as a way to govern Xuzhou and Suzhou. ”

"The country of convenience ,......, made a foreign vassal. ......, the country that has not been followed, looking at the scenery is attached to this royal industry,......, ”

Chen Deng said that Cao Cao's words, in fact, the most important thing is four words: "make it a foreign vassal".

The deep meaning needs to be placed in the context of the Three Kingdoms era, "since Dong Zhuo has come, heroes have been combined, and there are countless people who have crossed states and counties", and there are many local forces. Xuzhou is also one of them, and it is also one of the larger local forces. There are geographical advantages, military horses, and celebrities, which are self-contained. When it is beyond its reach, it is better not to rule it condescendingly, but to "make it a foreign vassal".

Only by doing so can there be no harm in all kinds of benefits.

For the time being, although the situation today is different from that of the Three Kingdoms, it is generally very similar. Cao Cao is in the north, and Deng She is also in the north; Sun Ce is in Jiangdong, and Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang are also in Jiangdong. The only difference is that Xuzhou did not belong to Sun Ce during the Three Kingdoms, and now Xuzhou was once owned by Shicheng.

However, a little deeper.

Yes, Xuzhou was once owned by Shicheng, but this "all" is more in name. Zhang Shicheng has never completely controlled Xuzhou in his hands. Xuzhou was first owned by Sesame Li, and then occupied by Lu Ju, to a certain extent, it was also the same as the Three Kingdoms period, faintly self-contained.

If according to Liang Shiyin's proposal, "make it a foreign vassal"? Not to interfere too much, to give them more freedom? Wouldn't it be more conducive to governance? And if this is taken as a model, will the Huaisi cities really "look at the scenery" because of this?

Deng She pondered for a long time and asked Hong Jixun, "What does Mr. think?" ”

Liang Shiyin's policy, Hong Jixun was also quite surprised, thought for a while, and said: "The military cannot be delegated, and government affairs seem to be a try." As for the specific operation, the lord and the ministers are far away in Yidu, and they cannot be remotely controlled, and Yang Xingjian needs to consider it himself. ”

Deng She bowed his head, instructed Guo Conglong to grind ink, and called Shi Sanqian to come over to lay the paper, pick up the pen in his hand, and personally wrote down what Liang Shiyin said, folded it, put it in the envelope, sealed it again, and ordered: "Take it down, hand it over to the Xuan's Embassy, and send it to Xuzhou as soon as possible." ”

Shi Sanqian received the order and turned around, and walked out of the hall with the letter.

"Sir, this strategy is something I didn't expect, and it really deserves the title of a genius and a celebrity, and he is outstanding! The mainland public voted for me in Xuzhou, and there is no retribution for non-reuse, and he will be appointed as the right man of the benefit capital. Xiao Lu Gong knows the military affairs, and there is a general strategy, please succumb to the position of Yidu Courtyard first. General Xiao Xuzhou Tigers, famous, please also live in the courtyard first. The two generals, Zhang Guan and Liu Feng, will be of great use in a few days. ......, it's just Mr. Liang, but I don't know what position you want to occupy? If you want to be a civilian, you must participate in politics in different provinces; If you want to consult the military, then the branch is waiting for a vacant position! Chen Yuanlong is both civil and military, and Mr. is also good at literature and martial arts. Please sir! ”

Liang Shiyin stroked his beard, looked at Lu Ju, and then looked at Deng She, then knelt on the ground and said, "How dare you vainly try to reuse the king!" Neither the provinces nor the courts are the desires of the criminals. ”

"Oh? What does the gentleman want to do? ......, haha, as long as I don't want to retreat to the mountains and forests, even if I say, I will be satisfied with Mr. ”

"The criminal has long heard of the name of the Haidong General Administration. If the king allows it, the sinner wants to join the division. ”
