Chapter 38 Change
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.
Ye Division was in a gloomy mood. From the commander Lu Ji down, the generals were silently licking their wounds, while Wang Division in the south of the city fell into a sea of joy.
“The Governor is back.”
“Hurry out and greet him.”
“In all these years, I have never seen anyone as brave as the Governor.”
"Uncle Du is a real man."
Amidst the noise, Shao Xun walked south along Pingchangmen Street, then crossed Mingtang, and returned to Piyong along the same route.
Sergeants continued to gather along the way, and there were even a small number of soldiers from Sizhou Shibing, Luoyang Central Army and other places who hid after being defeated.
Some people opened their doors and bowed and saluted. This was to thank them for driving away the rebels and keeping them from being in 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.
Some big families sent servants over 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 is a small surnamed gentry in Hebei. There was Shao Cheng, who was a regular servant of Sanqi during Emperor Wu's time. Chengzi continued, he was simple and ambitious, well versed in classics and history, and knew a lot about astronomy. He had a good reputation in Wei County. Now he is Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, joining the army.
Chen Yougen had no reaction after hearing this, but Yu Liang, who was greeting him all 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 royal shogunate."
Shao Xun understood as soon as he heard it. 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 County? Why don't you say that I am from Wu? In the past, Wu general Shao Yi led his troops to Taifu Yang (Yang Hu), and it seems that he was placed in Xuzhou? To be honest, I don't even bother to get involved in these relationships. A man can make great achievements with his sword and a spear, so why bother with false relatives?"
"How about the uncle? Is it comparable to a raccoon slave?" Yu Liang smiled.
As long as Shao Xun understands.
These days, there are not many people who cling to their relatives. Some big families, for various reasons, don't mind this kind of thing. If the Weijun Shao family is willing to recognize this relative and list Shao Xun's name on the family tree, it will be of great help to him who comes from a military family - of course, the Weijun Shao family may not be willing to do this now, because Shao Xun's value is not yet Not big enough, even though he had shown amazing prowess.
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 didn't want to, but now, haha...
Yu Liang suddenly thought of his home.
In other words, if the Yingchuan Yu family can form a good relationship with Shao Dubo, it will definitely be beneficial 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 from a distance.
More than five hundred sergeants gathered one after another. Who knows where so many people came from. However, both the old subordinates and the new ones all had red faces, 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 and allowed everyone to survive until now in this cruel world.
It can be done now. There will be no more nagging, there will be no more subterfuge, the real prestige is there, and no one can shake it.
Piyong arrived soon, and the gate was crowded with young people who stayed behind.
When they saw Shao Xun, covered in blood, jumping off his horse lightly, they couldn't help but cheered 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 spear poles, some hit the big shield 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."
"Equipment, Armor is distributed as needed, and new arrivals are organized into teams, and military discipline is strictly enforced."
"Slaughter and kill horses, cattle and sheep, and feed the entire army."
Speaking of this, Shao Xun said. After a pause, he added the last sentence: "As long as I'm here, thieves can easily break their ears!" Cheers that were even louder than before suddenly sounded, soaring 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.
The common people also like to listen.
They are either farmers, craftsmen, handymen, and maids who were withdrawn from Pan Yuan, or they are the children and family members of wealthy families who stayed behind near Kaiyangmen Street. The more brave Shao Du Bo is, the more guaranteed their safety will be. . Therefore, even if you hear something that is obviously overrated, 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 Sikong knew about it, he would be entrusted with an important task.
I picked up a treasure, Mi Huang smiled from ear to ear.
Since 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, I can try to do now.
Positions that were previously unthinkable 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 high 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 foreign talents in the Sikong Shogunate increased, Mi Huang always felt powerless. It seemed that he could not compete with those temporary talents, and was gradually being marginalized.
Now things seem to be turning around?
Haha, God is really helping me.
"Shao Langjun, you killed the enemy today with great force. I don't think the enemy army is mediocre, so why not rest for a few days before setting off..." Mi Huang drank a bowl of wine, his face flushed. Said Guangdi.
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 men 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 seriously: "Today, Meng Chao only had more than a thousand men, and the whole army was defeated and had no intention to fight. When I rode my horse to pursue him, there were only a few hundred men left and right. , and most of them were frightened, and dispersed in a hurry. Only then did I seize the opportunity to kill Meng Chao. Our soldiers are much stronger than Meng Chao, so we must not be complacent and ignore the heroes of the world. "< br>
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 balance 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, charged with his naked body, and chopped 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 , had to stay for a while.
Why didn't he charge at that time? People have some secrets in mind.
Pretending on the battlefield is a profound knowledge. Without the hard power of Xiang Yu, Ran Min, and Xia Luqi, there would have to be more distractions - these three are the only single records recorded in history books. A macho man who achieved the achievement of "killing a hundred people" by himself in a single battle.
When Mi Huang heard what Shao Xun said, he felt embarrassed and apologized sincerely: "Huang Shi 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 were serious." Shao Xundao smiled.
“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.
Having fought a beautiful pursuit and annihilation battle, his prestige is now very high, and he can reorganize the somewhat chaotic troops from the inside out, which will save a lot of trouble.
"Yes, yes." 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, he may get a golden opportunity.
Speaking of which, these are all the benefits brought about by Shao Langjun’s hard work, which I couldn’t even think of before.
Looking at the heroic and brave young man in front of him, Mi Huang became more and more satisfied.
