Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 58 Oath

On the ninth day of June in the first year of Guangming, Li Guochang and his son were defeated again in Yunzhou, with thousands of casualties and the rest scattered.The father and son ran north to the Tatar with their clan and cronies, and the Datong rebels, who were once illustrious for a while, finally vanished.

After the news reached the imperial court, hundreds of officials congratulated and rewarded him.

Helianduo, the governor of Yinshan Mountain, was deadly in the last battle, and he had to be appointed as the defense envoy of the Datong Army and the prefect of Yunzhou.

Because there are still a large number of Shatuo people living in the territory, and the governor of Shuozhou is also occupied by Mihaiwan, the chief of the Shatuo Sage department, Helianduo was afraid that the Li clan would come back, so he sent a large amount of money to bribe the Tatar chieftains to kill them. Li Ke used father and son to avoid future troubles.

Tartar, the other part of Mole.Due to the Khitan invasion, part of it jumped westward, living near Yinshan Mountain, and called himself Tatar.

Youzhou Festival Commander Li Keju has been added to the middle school. This is an honorary title of casual employment. It is up to you whether you value it or not.Qi Bizhang played tricks all the way. It can't be said that he didn't make any contributions. At least he sent troops, but there was really no deadly battle. The court didn't give him a reward. big.

Li Zhuo and the others went back to the court after the incident, not to mention that they were already noble, and there was nothing to add.

To the disappointment of the generals traveling to the north, they basically did not get much benefit.

Except for a group of generals who were sealed a few months ago in order to motivate the soldiers to fight, they were gone, and there were only some financial rewards.Shao Shude's old acquaintance Hao Du will be the only lucky one, returning to Fengzhou to replace Li Gan who died of illness as a defensive envoy, but he should not be very happy.

At this time, Shao Shude had to be thankful that he followed Qiu Weidao's path and was "approved in advance" for admission.Otherwise, if you stay with the gang from Beimen Xingying for the "college entrance examination", I am afraid that you will not be able to take the test.

On June [-], the imperial court disbanded the north and northeast camps, and ordered all the soldiers of the Dao to return to their own towns.Although Hedong was rich, he was really struggling after two years of fighting. Now things are flat, so let the gentlemen of the guest army go home.

Tie Lindu's entire army returned to Jinyang and received a reward from the imperial court.Shao Shude thought for a while, and it is better to clarify some things to the sergeants, such as going to Suizhou as a general.

The origin of Sergeant Tielindu is more complicated.The 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 the Zhaoyi Army, followed by the Kelan Army, the Zhelu Army, and the Tiande Army. It can be said that It is a hodgepodge, that is, Shao Shude has clear rewards and punishments, and cherishes his soldiers, otherwise it is really difficult for ordinary people to lead.

As for the auxiliary soldiers, most of them were from Heyang, and a few were poor people who could not survive recruited in Hedong.Therefore, the attitude of Heyang Sancheng sergeant decides everything.

"I have been a soldier for ten years. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the old guys around me had already changed a lot. The generals and commanders above are like revolving lights, and people can't remember who they have been with. But my old king I just remembered the tenth general Shao, Renyi, who sent people from thousands of miles to send pensions to Zhaoyi Town, and even went to the three states of Hebei. I didn't say anything, I followed the general."

"There's no one at home anymore. Henan Lian-year-old drought locust, and even Dongdu sergeants can't get enough to eat. What's the rush to go back to, it's better to go to Suizhou to try their luck."

"I'm the youngest in the family, and I joined the army because I couldn't get enough to eat. My grandfather and mother also left last year. When I went back, my brother and sister-in-law looked down upon me. It was so boring. I also went with the general."

"Forget it, I originally wanted to go back to my hometown to have a look. But I heard that it is very urgent to urge the class now. I'm afraid that the reward won't be taken away by the dog officer as soon as I go back. I'd better go to Suizhou."

"God officer? I heard from the sergeants from Luoyang that Huang Chao will go north, and Xuzhou soldiers will all go to Henan. If the dog officer does not rob it, Huang Chao and Xuzhou soldiers will have to rob it."

"The world is so big that there is nowhere to go."

"Can you marry me?"

……

The demands of the soldiers were diverse, and Shao Shude listened patiently.Some people want to get rich, some people are afraid of being alone and suffer when they go back, some people don’t want to embarrass their family members, and of course some people are homesick and want to go back after saving a little reward. There are all kinds of people.Surely someone Shao could forcefully take all the soldiers to Suizhou, but the twisted melon was not sweet, and it was also very demoralizing.

You can send someone to bring back the deserted sergeant, you can behead in public as an example, 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 appease his soldiers with heavy rewards for a long time in the future, so it is better to let those who want to leave leave, which is good for everyone.

"Li Yanling." Shao Shude shouted.

"The end is here."

"I will count the property of the public in a while, and write down a piece of silk, a bag of money, and a bag of grain, and read it to the soldiers every once in a while. We share joys and sorrows, share wealth, and in the future we have money to spend together, and we have difficulties together. Our Tielindu is not the foundation of a certain Shao, but the foundation of everyone. Fame and wealth, we all take it together, developed brothers Don't forget the old days of Paoze. From now on, there will be those who abandon Paoze and run for their lives, whether they are sergeants or officers, they will be executed, even Shao. If you want to die, all the brothers in Tielin should die together, Huang Quanzhi I can also be a companion." Shao Shude looked at the sergeants and said loudly: "If you violate this oath, the sky will be struck by thunder!"

"Zhu is willing to swear to follow the general to the death. If he violates this oath, the sky will be struck by thunder!" After all, he is a young man and is easily excited. When Zhu Shuzong heard Shao Shude's eloquent words, his blood rushed to his head and he swore on the spot.

"I would like to follow the generals!" All the generals also expressed their positions, and even the sergeants shouted, and the sound was so loud that thousands of men shouted loudly in the field outside Jinyang City.

"Okay, remember today's words!" Shao Shude blushed and his voice was a little hoarse: "I swear it's not just for the upper lip to touch the lower lip. I want you to use your head as security, can you do it?"

"It can be done!"

"Damn, fuck the general!"

"Isn't it just a cheap life, God still won't accept it."

"After arriving in Suizhou, after everyone supported the general to stay, what a shit Li Yuanli, I slaughtered it with one knife."

After waiting for the noise to subside, Shao Shude stepped forward slowly, looked at the soldiers in the front row, and walked over with a pat on the shoulder.

"They're all good sons!" Shao Shude said in a sullen voice: "Write down your name and hometown, and make up a military history of Tielindu in the future. The deeds of the brothers need to be remembered by future generations."

Li Yanling responded loudly.

"Also." Shao Shude called to Lao Li again and said, "Let the brothers who are going to leave go after dinner. It is fate that everyone met once, and Shao Mou is also very grateful that they fought for Tie Lindu. ."

"General..." Someone cried out and said, "If I hadn't had a mother to support, I would have followed the general."

The other people who are leaving are also very sentimental. Everyone has their own difficulties.

After finishing the breakup meal, hundreds of sergeants left.Shao Shude ordered the deputy general of the Fourth Battalion to choose a strong and strong complement from the supply camp. In this way, there are still 200 soldiers in Tielindu, and less than 3200 soldiers in the supply battalion. In addition, there are more than [-] miscellaneous soldiers, and the whole army still has more than [-] people. The appearance, the bones and structure are still there, and it is still a battle-ready army.

Shao Shude also took time to visit Zhang Yanqiu and Li Shao.Zhang Du Yu was busy with official business, so he just said a few words and left.Li Shao was very enthusiastic, and even joked that if Shao Shude became the Xia Sui festival commander, he would "come to vote in the starry night", and the Hedong Observer who had just obtained him sued, "it's okay not to do it".

Shao Shude is still very grateful to this elder who has helped him a lot.I don't dare to say more. If the Li family is in trouble in the future and the whole family avoids disaster in Suizhou, the King of Heaven will not leave.

Zhuge Shuang never returned to Jinyang, but directly set foot on the road to Zhenwu Military City, but unfortunately he didn't even see the last side.This grassroots general, although a little rude, is not bad for himself.Grandma's, I've been flattering myself for a while, do I even believe what I'm filming?Is Zhuge Dashuai really good?

Apart from these three people, there seems to be nothing worth lingering about in the huge three cities of Jinyang.

Recounting the past, 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 vividly remembered, just like yesterday.

During the Battle of Zhonglingshui, the imposing grand formation, the boring time of defending the Zhelu, the joy of the two states in Lanshi, the determination to face the enemy cavalry when patrolling the northern border, and the late night hunting and killing Duke He Ya Shi was unspeakably dispirited.Two years have passed, Shao Shude sighed, it's been two years!

On the fifth day of the seventh lunar month in the first year of Guangming, more than [-] Tielindu army left Jinyang and embarked on a journey to Suizhou.

On this day, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, and the eagle fluttered its wings.

It was also on this day that Wu Shitai, the military envoy of Zhenwu Linsheng, sent the military and civilians to keep themselves, and they did not want to enter the court.

The first volume of "Blood in the blood, the death festival has never been Gu Xun" is over, please watch the second volume "Only when the mountains in Zhongnan are there, Qingming is still full of Chang'an".
