Entering the prefect's house, Gao Fei sat at the top, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci, and Pang De walked in. He looked around and said to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work this time, Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci."
, both of you have made great achievements. When Zhang He comes back, I will give you a reward together. You are all tired, go down and have a rest."
"No!" Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun responded, then turned and walked out of the hall.
There was a hint of worry on Pound's face. He turned around and took two steps toward the outside of the hall. Suddenly he turned his head, fisted a little, then turned around again and strode outside.
"Ling Ming! Is there something wrong with you?" Gao Fei noticed Pound's abnormality and asked immediately.
Pang De turned around, clasped his fists hurriedly and said, "Master, there is something that I have been thinking about for a long time, and I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"
Gao Fei said: "But it doesn't matter."
Pang De said: "My lord, General Taishi did have a great success in attacking the city this time, but when he attacked the city, he killed many soldiers who surrendered. This matter... this matter, subordinate..."
"Oh? Go and call Tai Shici back. I want to ask him face to face." Gao Fei said loudly.
"No!" Pang De responded, turned around and ran out of the hall, hurriedly chasing after Tai Shi Ci.
Not long after, Tai Shici entered the hall, clasped his fists and said, "Why did the Lord call me?"
Gao Fei asked straight to the point: "Ziyi, when you attacked the city today, I heard that you killed many surrendered soldiers. Is this true or false?"
Taishi Ci did not deny it, nodded immediately, and said truthfully: "It is indeed true."
When Gao Fei saw that Taishi Ci did not deny that for him, surrendering troops meant that he could increase his strength, he immediately asked in confusion: "Since those soldiers are willing to surrender, why do you still kill those surrendering troops?
"
"Lord, although those soldiers surrendered, they did not surrender sincerely. They were forced to surrender by force by their subordinates. They were just seeking a way to survive and were unwilling to do so. Although they said they were willing to swear allegiance to the death, but
He knows people but doesn't know their hearts. If you keep soldiers like this who don't sincerely surrender, it will be a disaster. It's better to kill them and save them from trouble in the future."
Gao Fei was startled for a moment, and felt that what Tai Shi Ci said was somewhat reasonable, but he did not agree with the killing of surrendered soldiers. He glanced sideways at Jia Xu and asked, "What does the military advisor think about this?"
How to deal with it?”
"I am the one who killed the person, and I have nothing to do with the soldiers under the general. They are just following the order of the general. If your lord wants to punish me, just punish me alone. The general will do what he does and everyone will be responsible for it." Tai Shi Ci
shouted hurriedly.
Jia Xu chuckled and said: "General Taishi, my lord has no intention of punishing you. General Taishi has made great achievements today and deserves a reward. The general has been tired for such a long time, and he captured Gaoguli City before noon."
, indeed has great strength. General, please go down and have a rest. Don't take this matter to heart. The lord is just asking about it. However, this kind of thing can only happen once. If there is another surrender in the future,
No matter what, don’t kill again without permission.”
Taishi Ci glanced at Gao Fei, and when he saw Gao Fei nodded, he said: "My lord, military advisor, I will take my leave then."
Gao Fei looked at Taishi Ci's leaving figure and thought slowly: "Taishi Ci is very similar to Chang Yuchun of the Ming Dynasty. Chang Yuchun was a famous general who killed prisoners. Although Taishi Ci killed surrendered soldiers, he basically killed them."
Same, it seems that Tai Shi Ci needs to be restrained from now on and not be too indulgent."
"My lord, Tai Shici is indeed a strong general, but he must be restrained in killing and surrendering soldiers. Please lord, please restrain him more in the future. Otherwise, it will one day affect my lord's reputation and prestige."
." Jia Xu cupped his hands and said to Gao Fei.
Gao Fei nodded and said: "Well, what the military advisor said is good. I will take a chance to have a long talk with Taishi Ci. The military advisor has now occupied Gaoguli City, and he also asked the military advisor to control the households in the county.
Let’s take a look at the number, population, as well as the money, food, weapons and other supplies in the treasury.”
Jia Xu cupped his fists and said, "No, I will go to Gong Cao, the chief secretary, to have a look."
After nightfall, Zhang He led his troops back to Gaoguli. The army was stationed outside the city, echoing Zhao Yun's Feiyu army, while Taishi Ci's army was stationed inside the city, responsible for defending the city.
In the prefect's mansion, all the generals gathered together, feeling very happy about today's victory.
Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Pang De, Zhou Cang, and Chu Yan were sitting in the left column. Jia Xu, Tai Shi Ci, Zhang He, Bian Xi, and Yu Du were sitting in the right column. The ten generals accompanying the army this time all looked towards Gao who was sitting in the middle.
Fei Gongshou said: "I see you, my lord!"
Gao Fei waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, today is a celebration banquet, you can do whatever you want."
"promise!"
Everyone raised their glasses together and after drinking a glass of wine, they heard Jia Xu say: "My lord, the statistics of this battle have been calculated. The 10,000 soldiers stationed in the city were all wiped out, while only 1,000 of our army died in the battle.
, five hundred people were injured, which was considered a major victory. In addition, the population of the county was also calculated. There were six cities in the county, with a population of 43,000. There were three million yuan in money and ten thousand shi of grain in the treasury.
, the weapons are only 3,000 bows and 60,000 arrows, and nothing else."
Gao Fei said: "Xuanpu County is a small county, with a narrow area and a small population. However, it is an important defense town for the Xianbei people. Now the three northeastern counties of the Han Dynasty are all in our hands and have been officially connected.
One piece is of great benefit to us. These are the results of your efforts. I hope you will not be proud in the future. Nowadays, the Central Plains is in turmoil, the Han Dynasty is about to fall, and heroes emerge in troubled times. As long as you work together, we will surely be able to survive in this troubled times.
A great and vigorous cause will be accomplished here. Everyone, please drink this cup to the full!"
"We will follow the lord to the death!" everyone replied in unison.
Gao Fei smiled and immediately raised his glass and drank with everyone. But he was thinking in his heart: "Although I only have three counselors, Jia Xu, Xun You, and Tian Feng, and the only generals are Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and Tai Shi Ci.
There are five generals, Hua Xiong and Pang De, but I firmly believe that in the near future, I will have more outstanding talents. Now I have occupied all three northeastern counties of Han Dynasty. The next step is Liaoxi County, and then one
Eat away at Youzhou bit by bit."
That night everyone caroused and drank, and the soldiers were also immersed in joy.
The next day, Gao Fei ordered Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and Tai Shici to each lead three thousand cavalry to capture the remaining three county towns. He himself and Jia Xu stayed in Gaoguli City and formulated a plan for Xuanpu County.
The loose policy exempted Xuanzang County from taxes for one year, lowered the taxes originally paid by the people, and allowed the people of each county to elect the county magistrate.
He abolished Xuanpu County and divided it according to geographical location. He renamed Gaoguli City to Shenyang, Xigaima City to Fushun, Gaoxian City to Tieling, and the original Liaoyang City to Wangping County. At the same time,
Houcheng was abolished and Jiangqi was merged into Shenyang. The original counties of Xuanyuan County were all under the direct jurisdiction of Liaodong County.
The reason why Gao Fei did this was because there were too few local people, and for him, the original place names were too difficult to remember, so he simply replaced them with modern place names, which were simple and easy to remember.
Ten days later, the people of the original Xuanzhen County gradually accepted Gao Fei's series of policy changes. For them, the change of place names and the reduction of taxes were undoubtedly a new beginning.
On March 13, all the army gathered in Shenyang City, and Gao Fei's first step of expansion was completed.
In the prefect's mansion, Gao Fei was preparing to return to Liaodong City. At this time, he and Jia Xu decided to appoint the county magistrates. He said loudly to the generals: "You have worked hard these days. , your merits are obvious to all, so I am going to appoint a few generals and a few captains this time. I will return to Liaodong today, and Shenyang will be temporarily handed over to the military advisor. Tieling, Fushun and Gaoguli, Fuyu will be in charge. It must be guarded by soldiers, military advisor, please read out the letter of appointment!"
Jia Xu nodded, took out a list of papers, and said immediately: "Based on the merits of these days, my lord is going to appoint five generals and ten captains. Please listen carefully."
"No!" Everyone replied in unison with a hint of joy on their faces.
Jia Xu immediately opened the list and read out: "The Lord has appointed fifteen people with meritorious service as follows: Wangping ordered Zhao Yun to be General Huwei, General Zhang He to be General Hulie, General Tai Shici to be General Tiger Wings, and Captain Hua Xiong to be General General Huwei, Commander Pang De is General Huxiao. Commander Lu Heng is the Commander-in-Chief of Fighting against Rebellion, Governor Hu Yu of Lelang is the Commander-in-Chief of Zhenyuan, Commander-in-Chief Zhou Cang is the Commander-in-Chief of Po-Lu, and Commander Chu Yan is the Commander-in-Chief of Fighting against Lu. The captains of the school, the captain Bian Xi was the captain of Pinglu, the captain Liao Hua was the captain of Zhenglu, the captain Guan Hai was the captain of Pingdi, the captain Yu Du was the general of Pingyi, the captain Xia Houlan was the captain of Weilu, Duwei Gongsun Kang is appointed as the Military Guard Colonel. The five generals appointed will receive one thousand dan per year, the ten generals will receive 800 dan per year, and the other generals at all levels will receive all rewards."
After hearing this, everyone bowed in unison: "Thank you, Lord!"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "No need to be too polite, these are what you deserve. In addition, Military Advisor Jia Xu will be appointed as Military Advisor General, Xun You will be appointed as General Bingzhong, and Tian Feng will be appointed as General Zhaowen. These three are all advisors, participating in the military, and have official ranks. He is higher than the fifth general and the tenth captain, I hope you will treat him with courtesy in the future!"
"No!" everyone replied in unison.
Gao Fei continued: "Zhao Yun, you continue to be the commander of Wangping and lead Feiyu's army of three thousand to garrison at Wangping. Chu Yan, you lead three thousand to garrison in Fushun. Yu Du leads three thousand to garrison in Tieling. Taishi Ci leads his headquarters to stay behind. Shenyang, follow the orders of the military advisor general Jia Xu, and the other generals will accompany me back to Liaodong."
"promise!"
