Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 764

Although everything that happened at the farewell banquet passed quickly, Zhang Ting's statement that day was still extremely important.

Nothing in this world can escape the word "reason".

Especially in China, since ancient times, it has been necessary to pay attention to a teacher who is famous, and pay attention to a person who has the way to defeat the innocence.

Don't underestimate this, even if it's just a reason for making up, it must be there,

Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty is so obedient, Li Jing is more respectful to Zhang Ting than to his elder brother, and treats Zhang Ting's aunt and birth mother the same as he treats his own mother.

In the eyes of the people in the world, let alone a vassal, even a son and younger brother are nothing more than that.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Ting still wanted to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, but in fact, he could not get the psychological support of the soldiers.

The soldiers are living a happy life at home with their families. The Southern Tang Kingdom is so obedient and didn’t mess with you. You have to force the soldiers from their hometown and the arms of their relatives to go to a distant place to fight bloody people they don’t know.

Can they feel comfortable?Can you fight with all your might?

I'm afraid it's not bad to use three to five points, unless Zhang Tie is willing to use plunder to boost morale.

This kind of inner activity can actually be seen from the banquet.

There were nearly a hundred people at the banquet that day, and most of them sympathized with Nantang. Even Mrs. Cao San, who had always been one with Zhang Ting, couldn't help crying on the spot.

At the same time, from the perspective of the generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty and even the common people, our lord is so obedient, it is really deceitful for you to come to attack and kill us!

They will easily turn this war from Zhou destroying Tang to Zhou people in the Central Plains coming to bully us Jiangnan people.

Once this kind of mentality is formed, what the attacker has to face is an endless quagmire of war.

In history, when Guo Rong conquered Huainan, his advantage was so great that he almost rubbed the Southern Tang army on the ground. However, after repeated three times, he still could not completely control Huainan. It was because the Southern Tang people were brutalized by the army of the Later Zhou Dynasty and made this mentality of vowing to resist. .

Zhang Ting has learned the lessons of Guo Rong in history, so he naturally pays attention to this aspect.

Therefore, he used the righteousness of unifying the country and seeking peace for the people to occupy the moral high ground, and turned this war from the so-called Zhou and Tang Dynasties into a just battle of great unification!

. . . .

On the 25th of the first lunar month, after the snow gradually decreased, Zhang Teng set off from Chengde Mansion, returned to Beiping Mansion, and lived in the Nanjing palace city built by the Khitan people.

At the same time, a large number of people involved in the incident were escorted to Beiping Mansion, waiting for Zhang Tie's disposal.

But Zhang Ting looked at the list and found that Pei Yuan was very good at being a man, because in these lists, there were basically no old Guiyi soldiers who had been arrested, and of course there was no Yin Yuande who was not dead yet.

These people were Zhang Ting's relatives, and Yin Yuande was Zhang Ting's cousin, so it was really inappropriate to bring Zhang Ting in front of him and chop him with a knife. Of course, this didn't mean that they didn't have to die.

On the 26th of the first month, Zhang Tie ordered Cao Yuanzhong to return to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, to deal with Yin Yuande and the others.

The punishment given by Zhang Ting was that Yin Yuande was sentenced to execution. Among the remaining forty people, seven were hanged, more than 30 were exiled to Ningyuan, and only a few were sentenced to hard labor.

On the first day of February, Fu Zhaoxu sent Zhang Deqing, and Li Cunhui sent Zhu Yuan and others north to meet Zhang Ke. Zhang Deqing also brought news that Fu Zhaoxu had recovered Haozhou.

After Liu Renzhan threw away all his belongings and retreated from the city of Sizhou that day, Fu Zhaoxu and Zhang Deqing personally led [-] fine cavalry out of the city to pursue them, and wiped out all [-] of Liu Renzhan's iron horses.

However, since Liu Renzhan's army did not collapse, the two did not dare to chase, so they returned to Sizhou City.

In this battle, Liu Renzhan's Qinghuai army and the prefecture and county soldiers in various places in Shouzhou suffered heavy losses. Most of the accumulated over the years, it is not an exaggeration to say that the vitality has been seriously injured.

In Xuzhou City, after Zhu Yuan escorted Zhao Kuangzan out of the city that day, Li Cunhui and Liu Zaisheng's army entered the city directly.

Prior to this, the low-ranking officers and soldiers instigated by Zhu Yuan also immediately started to act.

When Li Cunhui took control of Xuzhou City, most of the generals under Li Yuan, the former commander of the Zuoying in Wuning Town, were killed or captured by the tooth soldiers who were eager to make up for their mistakes.

Then Zhang Liecheng entered the city. Zhu Yuan did more than half of his work, and the rest was easy. Zhang Liecheng immediately sent the remaining seven or eight generals of Wuning Town to the city on the grounds that his shop in Xuzhou City was looted. All officials were hacked to death.

Naturally, he was soon deprived of his official position as the commander of Jinyi's personal guards by Zhang Ting because of this, and he also came to Beiping Mansion to wait for disposal.

As for Xue Huairang and Pan Huan, they were really tough. After Li Cunhui's army entered the city, the most fierce resistance they encountered were these two and the thousands of veteran soldiers they recruited.

They gathered in the Xuzhou government office and resisted Li Cunhui's onslaught for two hours. Finally, Li Cunhui attacked them until the arrows ran out and the blades became dull.

Xue Huairang was killed in the scuffle, and Pan Huan killed himself with the dagger he carried with him.

When Zhang Tie received the news of the death of these two people, he didn't know what it was like.

When these two were governing the region in history, they were both known for their cruelty and greed, and they are about the same now.

But at the same time, both of them have repeatedly made military exploits in dealing with the invasion of foreign enemies. Whether it was Liu Zhiyuan in history who raised troops, or this time and space Zhang Yu marched into the Central Plains, both of them took the initiative to kill Khitan soldiers and respond.

But when everything calmed down, they were full of resentment and couldn't adapt to the new situation brought by Zhang Tie. They still hoped to return to the old society where truth was held with a horizontal knife.

He was deeply dissatisfied with the fact that Jiedushi could no longer be domineering like the Tu Emperor.

They didn't die because of ambition, at least not mainly because of ambition, but because they couldn't keep up with the situation and were abandoned by the times.

Zhang Ting sighed twice, and ordered Xue Huairang and Pan Huan to be buried generously. He did not hold their children, parents and brothers accountable, nor confiscated their poor family property, but chose to distribute their family members. To Jinzhou in western Liaoning.

Outside the city of Beiping Prefecture, Xue and Pan's family of more than 100 people, still in a place with thick snow, facing the direction of Miyagi, kowtowed three times to Zhang Ting, which was regarded as thanking Zhang Ting for not killing him.

As for Wang Jun, who took the initiative to contact everywhere, and could even be said to be the mastermind of Hexi's rebel minister, Buddhism, and Wuning Army, Zhang Tie didn't have a good face.

He personally issued an order to sentence Wang Jun to death, which is commonly known as killing a thousand swords.

Wang Jun's two sons were sentenced to death, his grandson was ordered to change his surname and sent to Shuofang to guard the border, and all the property of the female family members was confiscated.

Li Ye, Liu Chengyou's uncle, and Zhao Zaili and Liu Jixun from Hebei were tortured and tortured, all their property was confiscated, and their descendants were also sent to Shuofang to guard the border.

In the end, Zhang Ting opened the door. After Zhao Zaili presented all his family property, he asked Gao Xingzhou to intercede with Zhang Ting, hoping to let his grandson Zhao Yanxun live.

Zhang Tie finally reluctantly agreed, and ordered Zhao Yanxun to change his surname to Gao, calling him Gao Huaixun, and was regarded as Gao Xingzhou's adopted son.

Gao Huaide was by Zhang Ting's side at the time, and he rolled his eyes speechlessly at his father Gao Xingzhou's ignorant behavior.

It's all right now, if something goes wrong with Gao Huaixun in the future, their Gao family will not be able to escape.

At the same time, Gao Huaide also knew why Zhang Tie did this. After what happened to Gao Xingzhou, no one would dare to intercede for such things in the future.

As for Wuning Town in Xuzhou, Zhang Tie originally planned to arrange for them in an impartial manner according to the law, but who would have imagined that they would do such an outrageous thing in Xuzhou.

In this big city with a population of 6000 to [-], as many as [-] people died due to the turmoil. Xuzhou, which had finally become prosperous, was also devastated by the blow.

For a moment, Zhang Tie wanted to bury all these dogs in a hole dug outside Xuzhou City.

. . . .

Murong Xinchang was riding on a white horse, this white horse was upright and mature, with only four black hooves, very much like his former mount Snowy Smoke.

Of course it does, this white horse is Xueli Yanchen's half-brother, and they were both bred at the Zendan Army Stable Farm.

And the original smoke in the snow is not suitable for going to the battlefield for a long time, and now he is living in Shenyang City for the elderly.

Thinking of the smoke and dust in the snow, Nobunaga Murong also felt a little bit emotional. This horse is similar to a human. It looks very heroic on the battlefield, but in fact it still has damage to its lifespan.

Xueli Yanchen's father is already 33 years old, and he can still work as a stallion in Zendan's military stud farm. He can mate seven or eight times a week, and can successfully impregnate more than fifteen fillies in a year.

What a pervert!

You must know that the lifespan of an ordinary war horse is only about 30 years old. Xueli Yanchen's father is equivalent to 80 to [-] years old for humans, and he can still be a groom every night.

As for the smoke and dust in the snow, Murong Xinchang was already reluctant to let him go to the battlefield, fearing that one day he would ruin his life and death partner.

From this, Murong Nobunaga also thought of himself. He is going to be 30 years old soon, and he has been fighting all year round, running around in deserts, snow-capped mountains, and pine deserts. He is a little worried about whether he will live to be 60 years old.

If you don't hurry up and speed up the conquest of Goryeo, don't wait until the end of your life is coming to pacify the Wa country, then what's the point.

The city of Beiping was already in sight in the distance, thinking that he would soon see his adoptive father, the emperor, especially his mother, Murong Xinchang's heart felt hot, he couldn't help but lightly pinch the horse's belly, and speeded up.

However, before the horse took a few steps, Murong Nobunaga was attracted by a Buddha's name.

Hao Da'er looked up and saw a skinny Indian Buddhist monk with three rather strong men in black clothes standing by the side of the road.

Murong Xinchang's heart moved, and he recognized who this monk was, "Why is Master Cixian here? Is he here to wait for a certain family?"

As he spoke, Murong Xinchang coughed lightly, and dozens of horsemen immediately surrounded him behind him.

Master Cixian's head and body were covered with white snowflakes, but his expression was quite calm, but the three big men behind him immediately tensed up as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

These dozens of knights were all wearing white robes with one-piece hoods, their saddles were all decorated with silver, and the horizontal blades and bows on the horse's sides were all painted white.

This is Murong Nobunaga's personal guard cavalry after he returned to the Central Plains from Zuo Yulinwei's Fenghuo Cavalry Battalion, with Zhang Ting's consent and name.

The name is Akiyoshiro in white robe and silver saddle, and he has six hundred cavalry. When he mounts a horse, he is a fine cavalry, and when he dismounts, he is a pawn.

Although the three people around Master Cixian were famous warriors, they were still very anxious to be surrounded by such elites.
