As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.
Ye's division was filled with gloom and gloom. From the commander Lu Ji down, the generals silently licked their wounds, while Wang's division in the south of the city fell into a sea of ​​joy.
"The governor is back."
"Hurry up and go out to greet you."
"In all these years, I have never seen anyone as brave as Uncle Du."
"Uncle Du is a real man."
Amid the commotion, Shao Xun walked south along Pingchangmen Street, then crossed Mingtang and returned to Piyong along the same route he came from.
Along the way, sergeants continued to gather, and there were even a small number of soldiers from Sizhou Shibing, Luoyang Central Army and other places who had gone into hiding after being routed.
Some people opened their doors and bowed and saluted, thanking them for driving away the rebels and preventing them from getting into trouble.
Chen Yougen curled his lips and said: "I didn't dare to show up before, but now I'm not afraid anymore. Remember, Shao Dubo killed the thief general Meng Chao, which means you are in danger. Don't forget it."
"How dare you, how dare you." The people replied one after another.
A big family also sent servants to ask which family "Uncle Shao" was a descendant of, and whether he was from the Shao family in Wei County.
The Shao family of Weijun was a small surnamed gentry in Hebei Province. There was Shaocheng, who served as a regular servant of Sanqi during Emperor Wu's time, and Chengzixu. He was simple and ambitious, well versed in classics and history, and knew a lot about astronomy. He had a good reputation in Weijun. He is now the king of Chengdu, Sima Ying.
join the army.
Chen Yougen had no reaction after hearing this, but Yu Liang, who was greeting him along the way, quietly tugged at the corner of Shao Xun's clothes and whispered: "Shao Xuzheng, a descendant of the Shao family in Wei County, is an official in the Chengdu King's shogunate."
Shao Xun understood as soon as he heard this. Isn't this digging a hole for me? Then he laughed and said: "I am from the East China Sea, how can I be related to Wei Jun? Why don't you say that I am a Wu person? In the past, Wu general Shao Yi
He led his tribe to surrender to Taifu Yang
(Yang Hu), seems to be placed in Xuzhou, right? To be honest, I don’t even bother to get involved in these relationships. A real man can make great achievements with his sword and sword, gallop across the world, and make achievements with one sword and one spear, so why bother clinging to fake relatives?"
"How can the governor be compared to a raccoon slave?" Yu Liang smiled.
As long as Shao Xun understands.
These days, there are not a few people who cling to relatives. Some big families, for various reasons, don't mind this kind of thing. If the Shao family in Wei County is willing to recognize this relative, they will list Shao Xun's name on the family tree, and they will be a military household.
His help is not small - of course, Wei Jun Shao may not be willing to do this now, because Shao Xun's value is not high enough, even though he has shown amazing bravery.
But then again, when it comes to matters related to the survival of the family, some rules, face, and traditions are not worth mentioning.
The Yang family of Hongnong, who was just harmed by Zhang Fang, you might as well send someone to ask if there is an outsider named Yang who is extremely brave and can lead countless armies and can protect their safety. Would you like to recognize this relative? In the past, you may have been self-reliant.
Qing Gao is unwilling, but now, haha...
Yu Liang suddenly thought of his own home.
In other words, if the Yu family in Yingchuan can form a good relationship with Shao Dubo, there will definitely be benefits in the future.
The night gradually fell, and there was silence in the surrounding fields. The only sounds left were sonorous footsteps and groans and screams from time to time. Piyong was already in sight in the distance.
More than five hundred sergeants were gathered one after another. Who knew where they came from? However, both the old subordinates and the new ones had glowing faces and beaming with joy, and they were guarding Shao Xun like stars holding the moon.
This is their core, their soul, which has led them to two hearty victories, allowing everyone to survive until now in this cruel world.
You can do it now like you can do it with your hands. No one will be gibbering, and no one will be obedient and submissive. The real prestige is there, and no one can shake it.
Piyong arrived soon, and the gate was crowded with young people who had stayed behind.
When they saw Shao Xun, covered in blood, leaping off his horse lightly, they couldn't help but cheer warmly.
"The Governor is victorious!" Chen Yougen was infected by the atmosphere and grinned.
"The Governor is victorious!" the sergeants also cheered enthusiastically.
Some people hit the ground with their spear poles, some hit their big shields with their swords, and some raised their hands high, with smiles on their faces as bright as stars.
Shao Xun stretched out his hand and pressed down.
As if a switch was pressed, the sergeants quickly stopped cheering.
"Please ask the owner of the building to send someone to Kaiyang Gate to report the victory."
"The seized property will be counted and recorded, and rewards will be distributed according to rank and merit."
"Equipments and armor are distributed as needed, new arrivals are organized into teams, and military discipline is strictly enforced."
"Slaughter and wound horses, cattle and sheep, and feed them to the entire army."
Having said this, Shao Xun paused and added the last sentence: "With me here, thieves can easily break your ears!"
Cheers that were even louder than before suddenly sounded and soared into the sky.
****
After winning the battle, everyone was in high spirits.
After drinking the broth, the soldiers who followed the battle felt warm all over and recounted the glorious image of the governor to the people surrounding them with joy.
People also like to listen.
They are either farmers, craftsmen, handymen, servants and maids who have been withdrawn from Pan Yuan, or they are the children and their families of large families left behind near Kaiyangmen Street. The braver Shao DuBo is, the more secure their safety is. Therefore, even if they hear
If you say something that is obviously over-the-top, just laugh it off and continue listening happily.
Mi Huang is in a better mood than everyone else.
As Shao Xun's direct superior, he can share the credit. If Si Kong knew about it, he would entrust him with important tasks.
I picked up a treasure, Mi Huang smiled from ear to ear.
After getting to know Shao Xun, he felt that his future in the Sikong Shogunate could be re-planned.
Things that I didn't dare to think about before can now be tried.
Positions that I didn't dare to consider before can now be competed for.
Thinking of this section, Mi Huang felt a little sad.
Sikong would only use people like him and Liu Qia when his reputation was not prominent and talents were scarce. After all, his family knew their own affairs. If he was not a member of the East China Sea noble family, could he be the governor of the shogunate?
As the number of outside talents in the Sikong Shogunate increased, Mi Huang always felt powerless and unable to compete with those temporary talents, and was gradually being marginalized.
Things seem to be turning around now?
Haha, God is really helping me.
"Shao Langjun, you killed the enemy today with great force. I don't think the enemy's army is mediocre, so why not rest for a few days before heading out again..." Mi Huang drank a bowl of wine and said with a red face.
Shao Xun was stunned. Do you think I am a tough guy like Li Siye or Ma Lin?
Mi Duhu Piao is even better than me.
"Supervisor, if Meng Chao's troops have not attacked the city, and there are three thousand soldiers in full force, and I rush into the formation, what will be the result?" Shao Xun asked.
"This..." Mi Huang didn't know how to answer for a while.
"You will die!" Shao Xun said solemnly: "Today, Meng Chao only has more than a thousand soldiers, and the entire army has been defeated and has no intention to fight. When I rode my horse to pursue him, there were only a few hundred people on the left and right, and most of them were frightened birds.
They dispersed in a hurry. Only then did I seize the opportunity to kill Meng Chao. Our soldiers are only slightly stronger than Meng Chao. We must not be arrogant and complacent and ignore the heroes of the world."
A strong general is not a reckless man. Unless he has no choice but to charge in a critical situation, at other times he has a steelyard in his mind and knows when to charge and when not to charge.
During the battle of Xiangji Temple, Li Siye took off his armor, held a Mo knife, and charged with his naked body, cutting down the Anshi rebels.
But when he was defeated in the Battle of Talas, he used wooden rafters to knock down the Fan soldiers crowded on the mountain road into the valley, telling them not to block his way to escape. For this, he was criticized by Duan Xiushi and had to stay behind.
.
Why didn't he charge at that time? He was worried.
Pretending on the battlefield is a profound knowledge. Without the hard power of Xiang Yu, Ran Min, and Xia Luqi, we have to pay more attention. These three are the only records in history books that have been accomplished by one person in a single battle.
A macho man who achieved the feat of "killing a hundred men".
When Mi Huang heard what Shao Xun said, he felt embarrassed and apologized sincerely: "Huang really didn't know the dangers of the battlefield. I will be careful with what I say in the future to avoid making people laugh."
"The governor's words are serious." Shao Xundao said with a smile.
"I wonder what Lang Jun will do next?" Mi Huang asked tentatively.
"I will not offend others unless they offend me, so hurry up and train your troops." Shao Xun said.
After fighting a beautiful pursuit and annihilation battle, he now has a high prestige, which can be used to reorganize the somewhat chaotic troops from the inside out, which can save a lot of trouble.
"That's right, that's right." Mi Huang nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
But I was thinking in my heart, having two wins before and after I was at the bottom, my achievements are actually more dazzling.
I heard that Wang Bing suffered a defeat in the west of the city and most of his soldiers were defeated. Comparing the two situations, he might get a golden opportunity.
Speaking of which, these are all the benefits brought about by Shao Langjun's hard work, which I never dared to think about before.
Looking at the heroic and brave young man in front of him, Mi Huang became more and more satisfied.
Chapter completed!
