On the ninth day of June in the first year of the Guangming Dynasty, Li Guochang and his son were defeated again in Yunzhou, with thousands of casualties and casualties, and the rest of the army dispersed. The father and son took their clan and cronies and fled north to the Tatars. The once powerful Datong rebels finally disappeared.
After the news reached the imperial court, officials celebrated and gave great rewards.
He Lianduo, the governor of Yinshan, played a decisive role in the final battle and was granted the title of Datong Army Defense Envoy and Yunzhou Governor. His subordinate Bai Yicheng, who had made great contributions, was appointed as the Governor of Yuzhou, completely occupying the original territory of the Li family and his son. Because there were still many people in the territory.
Since there were a large number of Shatuo people living and the governor of Shuozhou was occupied by Mi Haiwan, the chief of the Shatuo Sage Tribe, Helianduo was afraid that the Li family would come back, so he sent envoys to bribe the Tatar chieftains with large sums of money to kill Li Ke.
Use father and son to avoid future troubles.
The Tatars are another tribe of the Mohe. Due to the Khitan invasion, some of them jumped west and lived near the Yinshan Mountains. They called themselves Tatars.
Li Keju, the commander-in-chief of Youzhou Festival, is added to the list of attendants. This is a casual honorary title. Whether it is useful or not depends on whether you value it. Qi Bizhang has been acting cunning all the way. It cannot be said that he has not made any meritorious service. At least he sent troops.
But there really was no fight to the death, and the imperial court did not award him a reward. Qibizhang was very dissatisfied because he had always wanted to get the position of Zhenwu Army Jiedu Envoy.
Li Zhuo and others did not mention it when they returned to the court after finishing their work. They were already distinguished nobles and had nothing to add to them. They had this realization before setting off for the expedition.
What disappoints the generals in the northern camp is that they have basically received no benefits. Except for a group of camp generals who were sealed a few months ago to encourage the soldiers to fight, they are gone. There are only some financial rewards. Hao Du, an old acquaintance of Shao Shude
He may be regarded as the only lucky one. He returned to Fengzhou to replace Li Yan who died of illness and served as the defense envoy, but he must not be very happy.
At this time, Shao Shude had to be thankful that he had followed Qiu Weidao's path and was "approved in advance" for admission. Otherwise, if he had stayed with the people from Beimian Xingying to "take the college entrance examination", he might not have done anything well in the exam.
On June 20th, the imperial court disbanded the camp in the north and the camp in the northeast, and ordered all the Taoist soldiers to return to their own towns. Although Hedong was rich, it was really hard to fight for two years. Now that things are calm, they quickly let the guest army men go home.
Bar.
The entire Tielindu army returned to Jinyang and received the rewards from the imperial court. Shao Shude thought for a while and realized that it would be better to explain some things clearly to the sergeants, such as the fact that he was going to Suizhou as a general.
The origin of Sergeant Tielindu is quite complicated. Officers above the team level are basically from the Tiande Army, but the sergeants below are different: more than half of the soldiers are from Heyang, followed by Zhaoyi Army, followed by Kelan
The army, the Chalu army, and the Tiande army can be said to be a hodgepodge, but Shao Shude has clear rewards and punishments and cherishes his soldiers, otherwise it would be difficult for ordinary people to lead them.
As for the auxiliary soldiers, most of them came from Heyang, and a small number were recruited from Hedong and were poor people who could not survive. Therefore, the attitude of the sergeants in the three cities of Heyang determined everything.
"I have been a soldier for ten years. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the old guys around me had changed a lot. The generals and marshals above me were like a revolving door, making it difficult to remember who I followed. But I, Lao Wang,
I remember that General Shao, Renyi, sent people all the way to Zhaoyi Town to deliver pensions, and even went to three states in Hebei. I didn't say anything, but I followed the general."
"There is no one at home anymore. The locusts have been in drought for years in Henan, and even the sergeants in Dongdu can't have enough to eat. If there is nothing to do when we go back, why not try our luck in Suizhou."
"I am the youngest in the family. I joined the army because I didn't have enough to eat. My parents also left last year. When I returned home, I was looked down upon by my brother and sister-in-law. It was so boring, so I went with the general."
"Forget it, I originally wanted to go back to my hometown for a visit. But I heard that there is an urgent need for classes now. I'm afraid the dog officer won't take the reward as soon as I get back. I'd better go to Suizhou."
"Dog officer? I heard from the sergeants from Luoyang that Huang Chao is going north, and all the Xuzhou soldiers have gone to Henan. If the dog officer doesn't rob him, Huang Chao and Xuzhou soldiers will rob him."
"The world is so big that there is nowhere to go."
"Can you get me a wife?"
…
The soldiers had various appeals, and Shao Shude listened patiently. Some wanted to gain wealth, some were afraid of being left alone and suffered hardship after returning, some did not want their families to be in trouble, and of course some were homesick and wanted to go back after saving some rewards. All kinds of people
Yes. Shao could of course forcefully take all the soldiers to Suizhou, but forcefully twisting the melons would not be sweet and would also hurt morale.
You can send people to capture the sergeants who deserted, and you can behead them in public as a warning, but you can't save the morale of the troops. Suizhou is not rich, and it is conceivable that he will not be able to use heavy rewards for a long time in the future.
To appease the soldiers, it would be better for everyone to let those who want to leave leave.
"Li Yanling." Shao Shude shouted.
"The end will be here."
"After a while, all the property in the palace will be counted. A piece of silk, a piece of money, and a bag of grain must be written down. Every once in a while, they will be read to the soldiers in public. Shao will not drink the blood of the soldiers and is willing to share with everyone
We share joys and sorrows, share wealth and honor, spend the money together in the future, and bear the difficulties together. Our Tielin City is not the inheritance of one individual, Shao, but the inheritance of all of us. We all gain fame and wealth together, and we are prosperous brothers.
We must not forget the old days of Paoze. From now on, anyone who abandons Paoze and runs for his life, whether he is a sergeant or an officer, will be beheaded. Even Shao can be beheaded. If you want to die, all the brothers in Tielindu will die together.
I can be my companion." Shao Shude looked at the soldiers and said loudly: "If you violate this oath, you will be struck by lightning!"
"Zhu is willing to swear to follow the general to the death. If he violates this oath, he will be struck by lightning!" After all, he was a young man and easily excited. After hearing Shao Shude's loud words, Zhu Shuzong felt his blood rush to his brain and swore on the spot.
"I am willing to follow the general!" The generals also expressed their opinions one after another, and even the sergeants also shouted. For a moment, the sound was loud, and thousands of men were shouting loudly in the fields outside Jinyang City.
"Okay, remember what I said today!" Shao Shude's face turned red and his voice became hoarse: "Swear that it's not just your upper lip touching your lower lip. I need you to put your heads on the line, can you do it?"
“It can be done!”
"Damn it, I did it with the general!"
"Isn't it just a cheap life? God won't accept it yet."
"When we arrived in Suizhou, everyone supported the general as a retainer. I will kill that piece of shit Li Yuanli with one blow."
After waiting for the noise to subside, Shao Shude slowly stepped forward, looked at the soldiers in the front row, and patted his shoulders as he walked over.
"They are all good men!" Shao Shude said solemnly: "Remember the names and hometowns. Later, we will compile a military history of Tielin City. The deeds of our brothers need to be remembered by future generations."
Li Yanling shouted yes.
"And." Shao Shude stopped Lao Li again and said: "Let the brothers who are leaving finish their meal before leaving. It is fate that we all met each other. Shao is also very grateful that they have fought hard for Tielindu.
."
"General..." someone cried and said, "If I didn't have an old mother to support, I would have followed the general a long time ago."
Other people who are leaving are also very sad. Everyone has their own difficulties. It’s easy to get together or to part ways. This is life.
After the meal, hundreds of sergeants left. Shao Shude ordered the deputy general of the fourth battalion to select strong men from the supply camp to replenish the establishment. As a result, Tielindu's soldiers still had two thousand soldiers, and the supply camp was already less than a thousand, plus
There are more than 200 miscellaneous soldiers, and the whole army still looks like there are more than 3,200 people. The bones, bones, and structure are still there, and it is still a war-ready army.
Shao Shude also took the time to visit Zhang Yanqiu and Li Shao. Zhang Du Yuhou was busy with official duties, so he only said a few words before leaving. Li Shao was very enthusiastic and even joked that if Shao Shude became the commander-in-chief of Xia Sui Festival, he would "starry night"
"Come and vote", the Hedong observation envoy who had just been obtained said, "It's okay not to do it."
Shao Shude was very grateful to this elder who helped him a lot. He didn't dare to say too much. If the Li family was in trouble in the future and the whole family had to avoid disaster in Suizhou, I would not leave either.
Zhuge Shuang never returned to Jinyang, but went directly to Zhenwu Military City. Unfortunately, he didn't even see him for the last time. Although this grassroots general was a bit rude, he was not bad to himself. Grandma's
, I have been flattering myself for a while, do I even believe what I was photographed? Is Marshal Zhuge really a good person?
Apart from these three people, there seems to be nothing worth missing in the three huge cities of Jinyang.
Looking back over the past events, the faces of Sun Ba, Hao Zhenwei, Qiu Weidao, Zhe Silun, Li Shao, Li Kan, Feng Yin, Zhang Yanqiu, He Gongya, Zhao Yu, Zhuge Shuang and others are still vivid in my mind, as if they were yesterday.
The imposing formation during the Battle of Zhonglingshui, the boring time spent defending the Chalu, the joyful joy when the two states of Lanshi were calmed down, the decisiveness of facing the enemy cavalry when patrolling the border in Daibei, and the late-night hunt for He Gong
Yashi felt unspeakably depressed. Two years have passed, Shao Shude sighed, what a two years!
On the fifth day of July in the first year of Guangming, more than 3,000 Tielindu troops left Jinyang and embarked on a journey to Suizhou.
On this day, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, and the swans were flapping their wings.
It was also on this day that Wu Shitai, the military and civilian envoy of Zhenwu Linsheng, expressed his unwillingness to enter the court.
