Chapter 1203 The backbone is back
In front of Tangyin County Party Committee in the early morning, at this moment, it was three steps, one stairs, five steps, and every sergeant was straight and excited, which was very different from when the morale was low a few days ago. From time to time, lieutenant generals and collegiate arrived, and after rushing off the horse in front of the door, they quickly entered. Like the soldiers, they all had surprise expressions and were full of spirits. Occasionally, they could even hear uncontrollable laughter. When more than a hundred people gathered in front of the main hall of the county party committee, there was no distinction between Shuofang Anbei Hedong Army, and the three or five people knew each other gathered together.
Because now their backbone is back
Soon three sounds of cloud boards came, and everyone outside immediately became quiet and lined up according to their own line. For a moment, three neatly arranged square formations appeared in the huge yard, and the ranks from high to low, entering the lobby one after another. Although it was already dawn, there were still some light differences inside and outside. All those who came in first squinted their eyes and adapted for a while, then they saw the four people in the lobby. Among them, Cheng Qianli was still wearing bandages on his arms, and a deep scar on his face and jaw. He was a little tired, Pu Gu Huaien looked relaxed, and Guo Ziyi smiled slightly.
The person sitting in the main seat of the main hall is Du Shiyi, and no one will admit his mistake.
Du Shiyi was already familiar with the feeling of being focused on by many eyes. He could easily distinguish the concerns, surprises, consultations, relief, and many unexplained emotions. He nodded slightly, and then said, "I have heard too many rumors. Now that I see me sitting here, I should be relieved, right?"
He had just received the order and rushed over. At this moment, Du Shiyi did not scold the previous defeat with a stern face, but started to talk so often, and the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly eased a lot. Especially Shuofang and Anbei University Protectorate had followed the commander for many years, and those generals who knew his nature were used to speaking like spring breeze. Even the people in the Hedong Army who always felt a little unable to raise their heads after being defeated, felt relieved at this moment.
"All people are here, let's take a sect." Guo Ziyi just opened her head, but found that Du Shiyi waved her hand to her, and then stood up.
"When I set off from Chang'an this time, I was ordered to recruit the marshal. I am the ruler of Shuofang, Hedong and Anbei. I think I also led the military commanders of these three towns at the beginning, so I can pat my chest here and say, "You don't have to worry about me being favored by one or the other." Du Shiyi suddenly started to make noise in the hall, and most of them were cheers of surprises. He raised his hands and pressed him down, and then said in a deep voice, "The previous defeat of Ye County was to underestimate the enemy's advance, but since the morale of the army was unstable, it was a rebel rumor, but at the root, the three armies of Shuofang, Hedong and Anbei were still in charge. Now that I have been appointed as the marshal, the primary task is to integrate the three armies."
Although the generals in the hall had not yet performed the ceremony of paying homage to the marshal, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Du Shiyi. Even Guo Ziyi, who had just learned the news, was Pugu Huaien and Cheng Qianli.
"The so-called three armies are one, which does not mean that you really don't distinguish each other, nor does it mean that I will directly interfere in how you march and set up formations and how to respond to the battlefield. When it comes to fighting, I am invincible, I can't ask myself how to Huai'en; when it comes to using troops, the enemy is still unmoved, I am not as good as Ziyi; when it comes to courage and courage, I am also inferior to thousands of miles. But I, Du Shiyi, have successively governed Shuofang Hebei in the past few years, and everyone is a famous general. Why is this? There is nothing else, knowing people and being good at responsibilities, understanding the overall situation, and rewarding merits and doing nothing in the face of selfishness."
When Du Shiyi's words were suppressed first and then promoted, not only did everyone not feel biased, but most people nodded frequently. Even Cheng Qianli, who had just suffered a big defeat, felt very happy. He was very grateful to Du Shiyi for weakening his defeat at this time, but instead promoted his courage and courage. As for Guo Ziyi and Pu Gu Huaien, who were also praised, they were even more comfortable.
"Although I just arrived in Hebei, I have also heard about some war situations. Although the three armies in the former attacked Ye County, they either had three armies rotated or had one army assault. Even if they planned to raid Ye County and Fuyang, they were naturally not interested in listening to each other. They had to compromise and shirk responsibility for everything, and all their precious time was wasted. You never thought that in this battle, from Hebei to Heluo, there was no idea how many fields were abandoned, how many people were killed or injured, how many food could be found in the autumn harvest this year? And if we continue to waste here, it is not a question of how many people were killed in battle, but a question of how many people would starve to death in the future."
Du Shiyi suddenly raised his voice and said in an unquestionable tone: "So, the first thing I want to say today is to enforce orders. If there are any violations of military orders, no matter the level, behead them."
As Guo Ziyi and Pu Gu Huaien stood up one after another, Cheng Qianli quickly stood up to respond, and the generals and schoolmen at the steps took the order in unison.
"The second thing is that I arrived in Ji County and made a big splash. Since the rebels dared to promote the news that I died in Chang'an, maybe there were many people in their army who were expecting this, so that they could just sweep their morale. By the way, if you use the same method to treat others, you will immediately spread something to Ye County, and that An Lushan is dead."
An Lushan is dead
The lobby was silent as if it was dead. After a long time, the servant Gu Huaien, who was closest to Du Shiyi, hesitated and asked: "Master, do you take this matter seriously?"
"There have been some people in the rebels, and the news is definitely true. You can rest assured that An Lushan will not be a corpse like me, and the dead will not come back."
At this time, the generals and schools burst into laughter. No one questioned An Lushan's death anymore. Everyone thought that since Du Shiyi could say that, it must be a sure thing. After so much distress and suppressing for so long, now when he heard the rebel An Lushan who started a rebellion, swept across Hebei and Henan Province, and finally proclaimed emperor in Luoyang, was dead. It was like a heavy rain pouring down for many days, but the sun suddenly showed up, which was enough to teach everyone to be very excited.
Du Shiyi announced several military disciplines, including not being allowed to harass civilians, and then sat down with a smile. At this time, Guo Ziyi and Pugu Huai'en Cheng Qianli led their generals and school to formally participate in the court, saying that they would pay homage to the marshal. Although Du Shiyi had actually controlled the troops of the three towns, he had no formal name, and was entirely based on his prestige for many years. This time he returned to Beijing and experienced a thrilling trip, but came to Hebei with the name of recruiting the marshal. It was truly legitimate, and the morale of the army was naturally incomparable to the past. After receiving the ceremony, he did not leave many generals and schoolmen, but only Guo Ziyi and the other three came down.
"Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen, and Sun Xiaozhe have whereabouts?"
Du Shiyi naturally attached importance to these three rebel generals who first entered Guanzhong to encircle Chang'an, then were abandoned to defend Luoyang, and broke through and escaped before the city broke. But what disappointed him was that whether Guo Ziyi or Pugu Huai'en, or Cheng Qianli, who first arrived in Xinxiang, could only shake his head to this issue.
Pugu Huaien even added: "Except for the damage in his face that was too serious and he could not recognize it, all the rebel corpses were identified and these three people were not seen. Perhaps, they fled to Ye County, or returned to Youzhou from small paths in Hebei. Of course, it is more likely that they had died on the way to escape, but the corpses could not be identified. After all, there were also mountains among the rebels. Cui Ganyou and Tian Ganzhen Sun Xiaozhe were once deeply favored by An Lushan. If An Lushan died, their direct troops would have all been fought. Even if they were willing to surrender, they would lose their value."
Hearing Pugu Huaien analyzing this from the perspective of the strong, Du Shiyi narrowed his eyes slightly and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, in addition to promoting the news that An Lushan is dead, we will spread it to me. If Cui Ganyou, Tian Ganzhen, and Sun Xiaozhe come to surrender, I can guarantee that they will not die."
Guo Ziyi was just stunned for a moment, but Cheng Qianli couldn't help but exclaim: "Master Du... No, Marshal, is this a bit inappropriate? Cui Ganyou and the other three didn't know how many official troops they killed, and their troops surrounded Chang'an, forcing His Majesty to flee west to Mawei Post. From His Majesty to Chang'an, the military and civilians probably hated them to the core."
"The rebels are now in the four counties of Ye County, Fanyang, Changshan and Yuyang in Hebei, forming a stalemate with our army on all sides. Although the Heluo in Guanzhong has been completely pacified and our Tang Dynasty can still have a steady stream of troops, the distribution of troops in Hebei is now extremely uneven, and there will be danger of being defeated one by one. At this time, it is best to let the rebels lose their positions, but it is the best to force the troops to push them over. If Cui Ganyou and the other two come to surrender, if I use them as appropriate, it is also a posture for the rebels, which can prevent them from fighting to the death. As for the pressure of Your Majesty and the court, I will take it."
Xue Song, who had been standing behind Du Shiyi as a guard, couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. If Du Shiyi's army surrounded Chang'an, Cui Ganyoutian Ganzhen Sun Xiaozhe could promise to pardon him, there would definitely be a division within the rebels. As for what pressure from Chang'an, how could Du Shiyi, who had such a big incident at the Sixteen Kings' House before departure, would he take it seriously?
Seeing that Cheng Qianli was speechless, Guo Ziyi and Pugu Huaien nodded directly to express their approval of the matter. Du Shiyi just looked back at Xue Song and said, "Xue Song, I have never given you any tasks since you surrender. Isn't your brother Xue Mao still among the rebels? I will give you a team of thirty people, so you might as well find out his whereabouts by yourself. In addition to him, you can lead the rebels to turn against you, and I will count on you as much credit as you can."
Xue Song didn't expect Du Shiyi to give him such a task with his backhand. His face turned pale at first, and then he looked happy again, and he didn't even notice the gazes of the first three generals. Knowing that this was his only chance, he immediately went around in front and said no, then quickly turned around and left. As soon as he left, Du Shiyi explained the origin of this person in a few words and called Li Huaiyu over.
Compared to Xue Song, Li Huaiyu's foundation is Pinglu and has little experience in the military. No matter what he thinks, he thinks that Du Shiyi will not let him surrender the rebels. But even so, when Du Shiyi said that, he was still shocked and almost thought that something was wrong with his ears.
