Chapter 49 Aftermath

 He ​​Gongya, the general of Fucheng, was hunted and killed by Tielindu late at night. Once the news came out, it quickly caused a sensation in the three cities of Jinyang.

Early in the morning on the 29th, none of the generals who heard the news went straight to the hospital. They were all watching the situation at home. It wasn't that they didn't want to go to the military camp, but in the middle of the night, Li Kan hurriedly mobilized two thousand Zhongwu troops stationed outside the city, and Yiwu

Three thousand troops entered the city and blocked all the main passages in Jinyang. There were people watching from the military camp, and for a while they couldn't think of anything to do.

As for the more than 2,000 sergeants in Tielindu, they had already gone to He Gongya's camp and detained the main officers. Shao Shude personally sat in the barracks and showed his righteousness to the sergeants. He only killed He Gongya and did not involve others.

.He Gongya's soldiers wanted to stir up trouble, but were shot dead in the camp by a hail of arrows. The smell of blood was so strong that it was nauseating.

There were about 1,500 sergeants from Heyang who were temporarily under Shao Shude's charge, and they were all sent to guard near the Jiedushi Mansion. At this time, nothing could happen to Li Kan. He was a military commander appointed by the imperial court, and this was a matter of great justice.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the court's righteousness still had some effect. With this layer of tiger skin, suppression would get twice the result with half the effort.

Li Fenggao, the supervisor of the army who had been living in seclusion for a year, also came out. When things got to this point, he was also worried about his life, so he went to see Li Kan, the military envoy, and asked for the money and silk from the Jinyang treasury to be distributed to the troops. Li Kan was a little reluctant to give up.

Because the treasury was empty, he really didn't have much money. However, if the situation was like this, he had to agree with Li Fenggao's opinion and send money to the Taiyuan armies to quell the chaos.

With money, things are indeed much easier to handle. In the final analysis, He Gongya's army is still the army of the imperial court, not He's private soldiers. The most hardcore soldiers have been shot dead in the barracks by Tielindu, and the officers have been killed.

Under house arrest, what else could everyone do? So, the sergeants put down their equipment and went out to collect money in batches. The storm seemed to have been temporarily eliminated.

At noon, the generals were notified and went into the festival hall to discuss matters. Zhang Kai, Guo Fei, Zhang Yanqiu and others looked ugly and remained silent. The generals who were junior to them did not dare to discuss the matter more, but judging from their attitudes, it was definitely

Very dissatisfied. Even those who usually have conflicts with He Gongya will never side with Li Kan on this matter.

Shao Shude was the last one to enter the festival hall. When the sergeants from Heyang who were guarding in front of the commander's mansion saw him, they shouted "The general is here". The noise was so loud that the generals inside could hear it clearly. Everyone in Hedong whispered, Li

Kan also raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

After Shao Shude, who was fully armored, came in, he stood directly outside. He had a low military position and could not be compared with the generals. However, after what happened last night, no one dared to look down on him now. He was all looked at by dozens of people.

Focus on him, looking at him all the time.

"Everyone, He Gongya is secretly hiding some criminals and plotting to kill my own generals. This matter has been found out. Yesterday, we sent the ten generals of Tielin City, Shao Shude, to lead the soldiers to his mansion and kill them. Today we have summoned all the future ones.

In order to listen to your opinions." Li Kan said straight to the point. The Northern Patrol also had some merits. Yesterday he killed the rebellious general He Gongya to establish his power. Naturally, he spoke with confidence and in a happy mood.

A lot.

The generals in Hedong looked at each other in shock when they heard this. Apart from He Gongya and Su Hongzhen, the only generals who had died in Hedong in the past year were Deng Qian who was killed by the rebels. Even if a strongman like Cao Xiang came over, he would only kill the lower class.

The sergeants or generals from the visiting army mostly spoke kind words to appease the generals from Hedong. Li Kan killed Su Hongzhen in Daibei and killed He Gongya after his return. All the generals felt that they were in danger. Listening to his questions at this time,

For a moment I didn't know how to answer.

Zhang Kai and Guo Fei looked at each other and understood each other's intentions. Li Kan could not be kept, either killed or driven away, but in short, he could not be allowed to stay in Hedong. Otherwise, who knows if the butcher's knife would fall one day

On your own head?

Li Fenggao, the supervisor of the army, also appeared in the festival hall today. He sat under Li Kan and looked at the ground expressionlessly, as if there were some gold and silver treasures there.

The atmosphere is so weird!

"Commander, since the generals have nothing to say, they must have agreed." Li Fenggao, the supervisor of the army, finally stopped looking at the ground and cupped his hands towards Li Kan and said: "We might as well order them to disperse and appease the soldiers. Jinyang Three Cities

, but we can’t stand the chaos.”

"That's fine." Li Kan smiled when he heard this and said, "Let's break up now. In these troubled times, you should stick to your duties and care for the soldiers, so as not to cause chaos."

"I will obey the Commander-in-Chief's orders."

After the discussion was over, Shao Shude came out of Jiedu Envoy's Mansion and saw that the troops in Heyang were still guarding outside, so he stepped forward to encourage him. The soldiers in Heyang now have a very good opinion of Shao Shude, because he sent people all the way to help those who died in battle.

It can be said that it is benevolent and righteous to give pensions to the families of disabled soldiers. And he must do what he says. He is not the kind of person who says one thing and does another. He said that all the wealth will be distributed to the soldiers, but he really dispersed it, which is convincing. Give it.

There is nothing to say about such people working hard for their lives. Isn’t it much better than those generals who are greedy for money or like to kill?

After leaving the commander's residence, Shao Shude returned to the military camp under the escort of dozens of sergeants. In the camp, the generals had returned one after another, and they were all beaming with joy. Yesterday, more than a thousand people were dispatched to kill He Gongya, and a lot of money was indeed stolen.

Everyone got a share of the goods, and everyone seemed to have gotten a few bucks. Shao Shude was also surprised when he heard that. Even if He Gongya's family was not rich, it seemed that he was not far away. This guy really made a lot of money.

Good player.

After sitting down in the camp, Lu Huaizhong, Li Yanling, Ren Yuji, Guan Kairun, Chen Cheng and others gathered one after another, talking about what happened last night. Shao Shude felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he still smiled and listened to the bragging.

Later, when everyone saw that Shao Shude did not interrupt, they felt that it was not interesting. Ren Yuji rolled his eyes and said scornfully: "General, when you were not here just now, someone from the Shuai Mansion came over and said that He Gongya's mansion has been occupied.

I’ve given it to you, so you can go over and receive it when you have time, so that they can do business more easily.”

"What is the use of He's house? It's safer to live with the soldiers." Shao Shude frowned and said, "I killed He Gongya for official business. Now that I have his house, doesn't it appear that I am greedy for wealth?"

?Inappropriate or inappropriate.”

Ren Yuji was speechless for a moment, and Li Yanling didn't know what to say. Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "This is a reward from the commander-in-chief. If the general doesn't accept it, I'm afraid he will be unhappy."

"It makes some sense." Shao Shude sighed. Although he helped Li Kan kill He Gongya yesterday, he always felt that his status in his heart was not as good as before. After sorting it out carefully, it was probably due to incompatibility. Shao Shude repeatedly persuaded

Advising not to kill innocent people indiscriminately may seem benevolent in his own eyes, but from Li Kan's point of view, how can he know that it is not unruly?

This handsome man doesn’t have a very broad mind!

"That's all, let's close the house as soon as we take it. I can't live in it, so I can't say anything to others." Shao Shude said: "Are there any sergeants in the house?"

"Yes." Li Yanling replied: "General Qian is still stationed there with hundreds of soldiers."

"What is Lao Qian doing there? Is there any property that needs to be guarded?" Shao Shude asked with a smile.

Ren Yuji and Li Yanling looked at each other. In the end, Old Li had to bite the bullet and said: "He Gongya's family is still there. Li Shuai said that he also gave the reward to the general. Vice General Qian did not dare to neglect, and personally led people to guard it.

So as not to be disturbed by the sergeant."

"Nonsense!" Shao Shude stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Last night, in full view of everyone, I promised in front of all the soldiers that the He family would not be humiliated by others. Are you trying to make me break my promise?"

"Don't be insulted by others, but the general can"

"Get out!" Shao Shude cursed: "Send him away quickly. Is there anyone else in the house?"

"The general is benevolent and righteous, and does not allow innocent people to be harmed. The servants, maids, and concubines of the He family have been left to their own devices. But the He family's wife and daughter are the family members of the general, and they dare not let them go lightly."

"Where is He Gongya's son?" Shao Shude asked.

"He Gongya has three sons. The eldest son and the second son all died in the battle last night. The third son was an official in the court, but I heard that he died of illness last year. There is also a daughter, about seven or eight years old, who is not married yet." Li Yanling said.

All the men in the school were actually dead. Shao Shude sighed, the struggle for power was so cruel, especially in this era when warriors were in power.

"Give He Gongya's wife some money and let her do as she pleases. She may remarry or return to her parents' home. I don't want to get involved."

When Li Yanling heard this, he immediately hesitated. Chen Cheng looked on coldly and said, "General, I don't know whether to say something or not?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't want to make mysteries here." Shao Shude glared at Chen Cheng.

"I heard that Mrs. He is the daughter of the Zhao family in Tianshui. She is still young and quite beautiful. If such a woman is allowed to leave, does the general know what will happen to her?"

"What will happen?"

"Last year, Deng Qian, the Marquis of Yuhou in the Mabu capital of Fucheng, was killed by the rebels. The commander of the festival, Dou Han, had to obey the rebels and condemned Deng Qian as a guilty general. His two sons were sent to Daibei to march to the army, but they did not know whether they were alive or dead. His wife and daughter were removed to Kangxi.

In the hands of Chuan Gui, Kang Ben was a subordinate of Deng Qian, and he had a lot of resentment, so he humiliated Deng's wife and daughter, and sometimes even had sex with his generals." Chen Cheng cupped his hands and said, "He Gongya is greedy for money and loves killing, and he is arrogant. In the past,

There are many people who have been offended. What can the general expect from these warriors? I am afraid that they will end up like Deng Qian's wife and daughter."

Shao Shude was also stunned, and after a long time he said: "Daughter of He Gongya, I want to ask if I can join the He family. As for the Zhao family, Lao Li, go and ask if there are any relatives in Hedong. If she is willing to remarry, it is up to her.

, I don’t want to see them.”

"As ordered." Li Yanling responded.

"Let's talk about Sergeant Heyang." Shao Shude sat down and said: "It's already very difficult for me to manage the two thousand soldiers. There are still a thousand and five people left in Heyang. How should we arrange it?

.”

Shao Shude's words made everyone blush. Isn't it because the management is difficult because there are no capable talents under his command? We all come from humble backgrounds and reach this stage today. We really dare not even think about it. We are indeed lagging behind in terms of ability. No.

Keep up with the speed of the general's fortune. In the past, the general asked everyone to study hard, and it always went in one ear and out the other. Now that they know how powerful they are, what should they do?

"General." It was Chen Cheng who spoke: "All the best soldiers from Heyang have entered Tielin City. The remaining sergeants may as well be added to the supply camp as auxiliary troops. As long as there is no shortage of rewards, there should be no major problems. If there is a shortage of soldiers in the future,

, so I selected the best from the auxiliary soldiers, who are much better than the Tutuan countrymen."

"That's the only way it can be." Shao Shude sighed: "I originally wanted to leave the city alone, but after much thought it was not right. Lao Li, I will leave these people to you, can you manage them?"

"General, if you are a Tutuan countryman, you can certainly take care of it, but this is all about killing Han people, so it's difficult."

"Let's help each other. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Our stall is going to have a stumbling start, alas." Shao Shude frowned and said: "From today on, we will continue to train troops, and everyone must participate. Also, I want to set up a camp school.

, we take turns enrolling at the top of the team, and we all study and discuss together. We have come to this point, can we continue to be decent? Keep it tight."

"As ordered." Everyone responded.
