However, after seeing the large group of knights rushing towards them, the guarding lieutenant immediately got on his horse and ran away in the other direction.
The guards were defeated and dispersed.
A sergeant brought an ax and chopped off the copper lock.
The door slowly opened, and the neatly stacked belongings appeared in front of everyone.
"Judge Hou, please register here." Liu Zijing, the deputy envoy, said after walking around.
"How much?" asked the military judge.
"Take them all, leave no one behind." Liu Zijing said matter-of-factly.
"That saint has really given you a generous reward." Judge Hou said with a smile.
"The merits of supporting the sky should be deserved."
The sergeants could not hold back for a long time outside, but after they got the order and went in to move things, they all became more cautious again.
Soft and gorgeous silk fabrics, yellow copper coins, fragrant tea cakes, and precious medicinal materials were all loaded onto the cart.
There were people watching outside. Seeing so much property being transported away, they were all dumbfounded and then sighed.
Saints are rich, but they don't know how to spend money.
There are so many magical troops trained, and the various rewards are three times that of the soldiers and horses from other towns, and the combat strength is not even one-tenth. Everyone from top to bottom is just messing around and cheating!
Liu Zijing was transferring the goods here, and Oritsugu Yu was dealing with the prisoners there.
In today's battle, the rebel army was defeated, more than 5,000 people were beheaded, and 10,000 people were captured.
At this time, I have to sigh that Chang'an is so big, the military camp can station at least 150,000 troops.
Historically, the Shence Army had 186,000 people at its peak. At most, it had more than 20 out-of-town garrison stations. Before the Chao Rebellion, the number dropped to eight, such as Yaowu Town in Jingyuan. Apart from these out-of-town residents, there were still accommodation in the city.
The military camp with more than 100,000 people will be put to use now.
The prisoners' equipment was taken away and all were imprisoned.
The whereabouts of the Zhang Jun brothers are unknown. Their bodies have not been found, so they must have escaped.
His close aide Chen Ne was captured.
He was also a smart man. He volunteered that he had been in the army for many years and was familiar with everything about the Jingyuan Army, and he was willing to help select sergeants.
What military commander wouldn't like surrendering his troops?
Shen Cejun likes it, Zhu Quanzhong likes it, and Marshal Shao should also like it.
"Chen Zhengzhi has sent tens of thousands of troops, and the King of Lingwu County doesn't want anyone." Zhe Siyu looked at the middle-aged scribe in front of him, who was about forty years old, and said: "First, I don't want those who are not strong and strong; second, I don't want them if they are not strong and strong.
Those who are sloppy and fearless will not want it."
Chen Ne was a little surprised. After so much picking and choosing, how many were left?
Moreover, he could only make suggestions based on the daily performance of each battalion in the Jingyuan Army. He did not know the specific person in the battalion.
"Try your best to choose." Oritsugu Yu added: "The limit is three thousand. I feel that this is the only number that can be defeated among this batch of surrendered troops."
The tens of thousands of surrendered troops were not all Jingyuan Yamen troops, but also troops from other towns, prefectures, counties, unity troops, Tibetan troops, defeated Shence troops, and even the bandits from Guanzhong who had been brought in.
Selecting three thousand from them is indeed the best.
But as Chen Na worried, it is easy to judge both physique and skills, but habits are not. We can only use past impressions to ask clearly about the battalion the sergeant belongs to, select them as a whole, and then eliminate those who are not strong enough or skilled enough.
Already.
"General Zhe, where are you going to pick the remaining people?" Chen Ne asked cautiously.
A hole was being dug outside the city. Although most of it had nothing to do with him, they were the two people who got along day and night. Chen Na really didn't want to see something unspeakable happen.
"Pretend to appease them first, and then kill them all," Oritsugu Yu said.
"General, no!" Chen Ne became anxious and knelt down directly on the ground, kowtowing several times: "Everything in nature must have its purpose. The king of Lingwu County is generous to others and has always been trustworthy. He has been in power for ten years in Shuofang.
I have never heard of any serious killings. Even if you are just doing military work, you can also praise your benevolence. If the general kills all the prisoners and surrenders, won't it ruin Shao Shuai's reputation?"
"What if we don't kill them? These unruly gangsters are so greedy and domineering. Is it possible that they can still go to Helong to cultivate fields? If they keep making noise, I'll kill you too." Oretsugu said angrily as he slapped the table.
Chen Ne suddenly raised his head. There was blood on his forehead, but his face showed a look of coming back to his senses. He was confused because he was concerned and didn't think about it carefully, but now he understands.
"I know how to do it." Chen Ne replied.
"It's good to know." Oretsugu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go to Li Renfu, the commander-in-chief of our army, and do something quickly."
****
The saint has returned to the palace, his expression dull, just like the Buddha statue in the temple.
"In this world, the only one who is loyal and obedient is Zhu Quanzhong of Bianliang." The saint sighed.
Du Renneng, Kong Wei, and Xu Yanruo were all there, and they each looked at each other.
Today, everything is fine in other aspects, but my ambition is not as good as King Ji!
When you are proud, you feel confident and confident, as if you have everything under control. But when you are frustrated, you feel sorry for yourself and even blame others.
As a person who has no independent opinions, if you are responsible, you will naturally have close ministers to help you plan everything. But if you have no independent opinions and no responsibility, what do you want everyone to do? You dare not do anything.
Of course, Jinshang is not without his own opinions. When he is emotional, he still has strong ideas and no one can persuade him to come back.
"Your Majesty, for the present plan, we still have to let Xia Bing retreat." Seeing that no one spoke, Du Rangneng glanced at Xu and Kong, and said with emotion: "The capital is safe, and Xia Bing's stay for a long time may cause criticism at home and abroad.
.”
"What Du Qing said was true, he sent an envoy to Weibei." The saint was not very interested.
"After the Xia soldiers retreated, it is very important to hold down the country's army. I am afraid that Wang Bian Yin will be attached to Shu De, so please choose an important minister to hold him down." Kong Wei suddenly said.
Xu Yanruo and Du Rangneng both looked at him in surprise. This meant that they seemed to want to leave the town by themselves. They didn't even want to be the prime minister. Follow the example of the story of Xiao Yu in the river and Wei?
"Xiang Kong, Huazhou is indeed an important town, but what will happen if King Bian does not obey the imperial edict and joins forces with Shuofang to suppress the king's army?" Du Rangneng asked dissatisfied.
Kong Wei colluded with Zhang Junhang at the beginning and instigated the saints to attack Jingyuan, which resulted in great disaster. But he didn't know it and wanted to usurp Wang Bian's position. Master Wang, where did he come from now!
Today, General Shence led his troops out of the city, but returned empty-handed. There are only three thousand soldiers in the city so far, and including the palace guards, there are only five thousand. Even Chang'an can't control it. If Wang Bian doesn't obey the imperial edict, what can be done to him?
The generals sent to Guandong actually recruited more than 20,000 people, but they were stranded in Shaanxi and Guozhou due to the war with China. Now they must come back, learn about their righteousness, practice diligently, and have some appearance before we can talk about other matters. .
"Bian Zhen Huazhou has no skills in governing and no merits as a diligent king. If you don't obey the imperial edict, your majesty can be loyal to you and punish him with Ke Yong." Kong Wei said.
"How can these two people attack each other day and night and share the worries of the imperial court?" the saint asked with a little interest.
"Now Jin Shude can be the king of Xia. He is completely loyal and Ke Yong. After hearing about it, he will be unhappy in his heart. He will definitely be jealous and lead them to fight with each other." Kong Wei said.
In short, Shao Shude became the target of public criticism.
Counting by count, he has already annexed seven or eight vassal towns. This time he captured Weibei, Hezhong, Shaanxi, Guo, Jinshang and other towns. Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong will also be very vigilant.
Promoting him as the king of Xia will definitely attract the attention of the world. Even if he is sitting at home, trouble will come to his door.
And if Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong join forces, it will be easy for the imperial court to take back Huazhou. After all, this state is in Guanzhong, separated from Xuanwu and Hedong by the Wang family and his son, and they will not be able to live there.
"Your Majesty, this matter should not be taken seriously..." Xu Yanruo couldn't stand it anymore and said: "The chaos is over, and people's hearts are not at peace. It is better to calm down now. Rest and recuperate for a few years until the soldiers and armor are ready. Then call King Bian It's okay to enter the court. In addition, as Kong Xiang said, Jin Shude is a matter for the king of Xia, so we might as well wait until he retreats and returns to Lingxia before acting on it."
Like Du Renneng, he had strong opinions on "radicals" such as Zhang Jun and Kong Wei.
The king's army was defeated miserably in Jingyuan. What capital does the court have now? It is better to select good generals, accumulate armor, train soldiers and horses, and lay a solid foundation to wait for the right time.
However, it was indeed necessary to make Shao Shude the target of public criticism. On this point, he agreed with Kong Wei and put Shao Shude on the fire.
Of course, kings and county princes are different, and the ignorant martial artist may not be able to resist this temptation.
The saint was a little hesitant.
After watching the battle for a long time, he was really scared. The power of the armored cavalry charging into the formation was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Later, Oretsugu insulted the emperor and his ministers in public. Although this incident was embarrassing, but after such a while, I couldn't hate him even if I wanted to.
