Shao Shude was drinking tea on the roadside, but General Tutu's thirty thousand soldiers did not stop at all and continued to advance.
Sikong Ting was slightly uneasy.
Tens of thousands of warriors like wolves and tigers are pouring into Weibo. However, the generals of Weibo are still scheming with each other and even planning to fight against each other. How can they resist this?
"Please be patient." Shao Shude glanced at the restless Sikong Ting and said, "Tell Inspector Sikong a story."
"Your Highness, please speak." Sikong Ting said patiently.
"In the early days of the Kingdom, there was a native of Boling, Cui Sheng, who was very talented and eager to learn. After he entered the official position, he was diligent and diligent. He served successively as a cabinet minister and minister. His footprints were all over Longyou and Hexi, and he wrote countless poems. Among the dragons, he passed away.
In the official residence, eight of the sixty-sixth of the Spring and Autumn Period. His son supported the coffin and was buried in Boling Township. The imperial court issued an edict and gave him carriages, horses, and weapons to accompany him all the way. The mourning and honor are extremely high." Shao Shude said.
Sikong Ting subconsciously recalled the old events from the early days of the Kingdom. This "Cui Sheng" looked like Cui Xinggong of the Boling Cui family, and also looked like his nephew. It seemed that the deeds of many people were mixed together.
"After Cui Sheng's son returned to his hometown to settle down, it was like this for three generations. For decades, the three generations of the Cui family lived together, and the family was happy. The clan members, whether far or near, rich or poor, all came together to eat together. The poor and orphans were raised and educated.
Encourage the powerful and help those who are less advanced." Shao Shude continued.
Sikong Ting listened silently. This was the normal life of the local wealthy people in the difficult times, and it was not made up randomly. He became fascinated as he listened.
"In the Zhenyuan Dynasty, Cui was born with weapons and weapons in the rivers and lakes, and he was prepared for civil and military affairs. At the age of childishness, he did not play children's games, studied classics and history, and compiled strategies. Before he was weak, he had the reputation of Heshuo, because he was awarded the county captain. Although he was beautiful
The stick showed his power, but his ambition was not yet strong, so he traveled far away to Jimen to express his depression. Commander Yan loved his talents and treated him as a distinguished guest. He was assigned to the Lulong Festival in Youzhou to supervise the Yamen. Not long after, he went out with the army and took action.
After killing several enemies in a row, and during the charge, he killed the general in formation and was transferred to the governor of Guizhou. The left army was placed in Yuhou, Duke of Chen. At the beginning of Huichang, he died in the camp behind the mountain at the age of fifty-two."
Sikong Ting listened more seriously. He no longer tried to figure out who Shao Shude was talking about, because there were too many such people. In the towns of Hebei, there were countless people who wrote and joined the army, and there were very few people who only practiced writing but not martial arts.
Cui's experience is almost the epitome of generations of scholars in Hebei.
"When Cui Gong was buried, almost no clan members were present. There was a military rebellion in the Wenzong Dynasty, and more than 300 members of the Cui clan were killed. Although the rebellion was suppressed, the clan members were scattered."
"I don't know how many generations ago, due to the military chaos in Youzhou, the descendants of Cui Gong moved to Jingzhou. This generation of the Cui family has four sons. The eldest son is the prime minister of Nanpi County, Jingzhou, the second son is the governor of the shogunate, and the third son is the prefecture official.
He was a doctor of Confucian classics, and his fourth son served as Jiedu Yaqian San Yuhou. He was well-equipped in civil and military affairs, and was both beautiful in writing and swords. Hebei had been in war for a long time, and most of the people were dead. When the Khitan invaded, Cui Gong's eldest son and fourth son died in the battle, and the second son was unknown.
In the end, the third son and his family were taken captive and became slaves in Pingdi Pine Forest. They wore fur clothes, braided hair, earrings, and spoke nonsense. The children no longer knew the affairs of their ancestors. In another ten years, the Khitan nobles rebelled, and Pingdi Pine Forest was destroyed.
They slaughtered and laid down tens of thousands of corpses, and now Cui Gong has no heir."
After Shao Shude finished speaking, he looked at Sikong Ting with his eyes, as if asking: Are you still going to rebel against me?
Sikong Ting knew that this story was fictitious, but he was sweating like raindrops as he listened. Because Shao Shude told it so realistically, from the glory of the family before the Anshi Rebellion to the transition from literary to martial arts during the separatist rule of the vassal town, the so-called "book and sword"
The living conditions of "two absolutes", as well as the unruly warriors inciting war and rebellion, resulting in heavy losses for the wealthy family, can almost be said to be a true portrayal of the gentry in Hebei.
The aristocratic family has not disappeared, but has continued to move and disperse during the war. It is no longer like the situation in the early days of the Republic of China when "poor and ignorant people in the suburbs all came to eat from afar." In the local states and counties, which big family dared to occupy too much land would definitely be the one during the war.
The best target for looting.
As a result, the gentry declined and gradually dispersed into small, isolated landowners, whose livelihood was precarious.
But, what does the Khitan invasion mean in the end?
Sikong Ting raised his head and asked: "Your Highness, is it true that the descendants of Cui Gong died in Khitan?"
Shao Shude did not hide it and said: "If I can't unify the world today, all of Hebei will be waiting for death."
Sikong Ting sounded a little uncomfortable and said: "The Khitans only have so much strength, how can they go south? It's just a common thing to go south and defeat them in one battle."
"Of course we can defeat the Khitan in Hebei today. But if there are less than a million households left in Hebei and all the elite soldiers are lost, you may not be the meat on the chopping board." Shao Shude sneered and said: "Now I will cut it vigorously.
Even if the vassal is unable to stay within the realm, there is no problem in being the lord of the Western Wei Dynasty. What are you going to do? You are afraid that you have never even seen the Khitan people, how do you know their strength? I have been fighting in the grassland for many years, killing people.
Countless chiefs from various tribes are trembling with fear and dare not breathe loudly in front of my riding boots. But the Khitans have not surrendered yet, and there are still many miscellaneous people who have taken refuge with the Khitans. If they wait for them to attack Haidong Shengguo, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will be
It can be seen that it is the most powerful vassal in the north. If Hebei is still in disarray, let's wait for death one by one."
"I am a lobbyist for Luo Shuai..." Sikong Ting said with a bitter smile.
"This is not the way for Hebei to continue like this." Shao Shude ignored Sikong Ting's words and said to himself: "When I defeat Wang Shifan, Zhu Jin, and Zhang Tingfan, I will send troops to Wei Bo and attack with all my strength. Wei Bo hopes to become the leader of Hedong Province.
With these two towns captured, Hedong will be strictly restricted within the Taihang Mountains and can be manipulated at will. Do you still want to be a lobbyist now? "
"Your Highness, it's not that simple to pacify Wei Bo." Sikong Ting seemed to have forgotten his original purpose and said.
"It's up to Inspector Sikong to teach me how to pacify the six states of Weibo." Shao Shude said with a smile on his face.
"There is no other way but to kill." Sikong Ting remained silent for a long time and said.
"How do you say that?" Shao Shude asked calmly.
"Your Highness should be able to see what Li Keyong did in Youzhou." Sikong Ting said: "It is easy to defeat the Wei soldiers. Some people will surrender. But after surrendering, they will rebel again as long as there is a chance."
"On the battlefield, do you dare to trust Wei Bing? When confronting Hedong, do you dare not send troops to monitor Wei Bo? There is no point in accepting vassals. They will fight back at the critical moment, because from the bottom of their hearts, they are
It tends to be east of Hedong."
"Inspector Sikong said this, but it goes against Wei Bo's interests." Shao Shude said with a smile.
Sikong Ting felt a little ashamed and sighed silently.
"It would be great if everyone in Wei Bowu knew current affairs like Inspector Sikong." Shao Shude also sighed.
After conquering Hebei, I am afraid that the reputation of being generous and benevolent that I have maintained for half my life will no longer be preserved.
****
In the western border of Liaocheng County, Bozhou, a group of cavalry stopped at the entrance of the village.
Soon, a man ran to the village, dismounted and beat the gong.
"General Li is recruiting warriors. If you are willing to join the army, come here quickly." The cavalryman said loudly.
Like a thunderclap, the news spread quickly.
Qian Erlang, who was working in the fields, heard the news and returned home with his hoe.
His wife Li looked at him in surprise.
Qian Erlang threw away the hoe, went straight to the woodshed, and took out a rusty horizontal knife.
Zhou Dalang was whittling wood in the garden behind the house.
When he heard the news, he immediately stopped Qian Erlang who was heading towards the entrance of the village and asked: "Qian Erlang, are you going now? Is Li Gongquan sure?"
Qian Er's father was once a martial artist, but he died early and Qian Er was unable to succeed his son, which has always been a great regret.
He is a member of the military, so of course he knows how good the life of the martial arts family is. It is much more comfortable than farming, but it is a pity that he has never had the opportunity.
"Li Gongquan promised that anyone who goes to Weizhou with him will be rewarded." Qian Er shook off Zhou Da's hand and left again.
"How much is the reward?" Zhou Da asked.
"If Li Gongquan becomes the military envoy, I will give you five strings of money and five bolts of silk. We can all join the army and eat like warriors from now on." After Qian Er finished speaking, he hurried away again.
"What a good thing!" Zhou Da did not hesitate, rushed into the main room, took off the horizontal knife hanging on the wall, thought about it, and brought a bow tip. He cut the bow tip himself, and planned to
If you take it out and sell it for money, you will have the opportunity to serve as a soldier, so naturally you won't sell it.
The news continued to spread in the village, and in just two sticks of incense, more than ten people armed with swords, guns, and bows gathered at the entrance of the village. There was even one person who was wearing armor and looked very coquettish.
Hiding armor privately is a big deal!
In the forty-three counties of the six prefectures of Weibo, Tian Chengsi's meeting, the strong men signed up to fight in the army, while the old and weak farmed in the countryside. Over the past 140 years, who has not been a soldier? Who does not know how to use martial arts?
Who can't shoot an arrow?
Coincidentally, in another village, recruitment work was also in full swing.
Jin Erlang, a Weizhou yamen soldier who was born in this village, is still loudly spreading rumors: "Luo Hongxin was originally an infantry colonel, and by chance he became a military governor. But this man was too picky and offered Zhu Quanzhong a large sum of money every year.
Wealth, this time colluded with the Xia people to ensure that his incompetent son came to power. The Shao thieves were cruel and demanding, and no matter how rich the six states were, they would not be able to satisfy the Shao thieves' appetite. Now General Li is stationed in Bozhou, with a large number of soldiers.
Wan, the three armies thought he was capable, and recommended him as a commander. We rushed into Weizhou, cooperated with the Yamen soldiers inside and outside, killed Luo's father and son, and restored the world to a bright and prosperous world. If you follow us, you can also be listed in the military, and we will drink and eat from now on
There is no need to worry about cutting off the meat."
Don't tell me, this incitement is still effective. People come to join the army in an endless stream. Many people bring their own equipment and make loud noises, and the crowd is excited.
From July 20th to 25th, more than 10,000 troops were recruited in just five days and marched to the prefecture to assemble.
At this time, Li Gongquan was also making the final mobilization for the generals and officials.
"In the six states of Wei and Bo, in the vassal houses of the past dynasties, fathers and sons from military families are connected by marriage and clan. They never leave the river gate and leave their relatives and clans. Once they move to other counties, life is worse than death." Li Gongquan said loudly: "There is news from the military government.
, Luo Hongxin begged Shao Shude to recognize his son Shaowei as the governor of Jiedushi. How can Shao be so groveling and so groveling? I don’t know what conditions he made privately."
"He Quantai, your father is the magistrate of Guixiang, your uncle is the commander of the Leopard Army, your son is a yamen soldier, and you are the captain of Liaocheng. Ask yourself, do you want your official position to be taken away by students from Zhouxue who don't know where they came from, and your children and grandchildren have been fighting abroad for many years?
You don’t know where you died?”
"Zhao Gong, three generations of your family have served in the shogunate. Although you are a small official, they have raised you in the end. Think about it carefully. Without the money and food provided by the shogunate, would you have the ability to practice this martial arts?
Killing the enemy on horseback? Thief Shao wants to cut down the vassal, and your family's livelihood will be ruined."
"Zhang Sui, your brother died after the battle. It was the shogunate who paid him a pension to support his two children who were waiting to be fed. The Shao thief coveted Wei Bo's money and food. If he took over Wei Bo and took away all the money and food, your nephew would still be alive.
Go down?"
Li Gongquan took the trouble to do ideological work in front of the generals and subordinates surrounding him.
"It is not the turn of outsiders to intervene in Wei Bo's affairs. Since the difficult times, the vassal government has appointed its own staff and recruited its own sergeants, and the benefits have fallen on the six states and forty-three counties. You are not fighting for me, but also for you and other future generations.
As for the battle, follow me to Weizhou quickly and do not hesitate." Li Gongquan said.
"As ordered." Everyone responded loudly with high morale.
