Chapter 764 Akihiro Akiro in White Robe and Silver Saddle
Although everything that happened at the farewell banquet passed quickly, Zhang Yan's statement on that day was still extremely important.
Nothing in this world can actually escape a rationale.
Especially in China, since ancient times, it has been important to pay attention to a teacher's reputation and to use the right to defeat the unjust.
Don't underestimate this, even if it is just a made-up reason, it must be there.
Now the Southern Tang Dynasty is so respectful, Li Jing is more respectful to Zhang Yan than his brother, and treats Zhang Yan's aunt and biological mother as much as he treats his own mother.
In the eyes of the people in the world, let alone a vassal, even a biological son or biological brother is nothing more than this.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Yan still wanted to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he actually could not get the psychological support of his soldiers.
The soldiers are living a happy life at home with their families. The Southern Tang Dynasty is so respectful and doesn't offend you. You insist on taking the soldiers from the embrace of their hometown and relatives and force them out to fight bloody battles with people they don't know in a distant place.
Can they feel comfortable in their hearts? Can they fight for you with eight or ten percent of their strength?
I'm afraid it would be good to use 30 to 50 points, unless Zhang Hao is willing to use looting to boost morale.
This kind of inner activity can actually be seen at the banquet.
There were nearly a hundred people at the banquet that day, and most of them sympathized with the Southern Tang Dynasty. Even Mrs. Cao Sanniang, who had always been of the same mind as Zhang Yan, couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot.
At the same time, from the perspective of the soldiers, generals and even the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is too much to deceive us that you are still coming to attack and kill us even though our king is so submissive!
They will easily change this war from the Zhou Dynasty destroying the Tang Dynasty to the Zhou people from the Central Plains bullying us Jiangnan people.
Once this mentality is formed, the attacking side will face an endless quagmire of war.
Historically, when Guo Rong conquered Huainan, his advantage was so great that he almost pushed the Southern Tang army to the ground and rubbed it. However, after three attempts, he still could not completely control Huainan. It was the Southern Tang people who were brutally treated by the Later Zhou army and developed this mentality of vowing to resist.
.
Zhang Yan learned the lessons of Guo Rong in history, so he naturally paid great 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 conquests into a just war of unification!
....
On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, after the snow gradually diminished, Zhang Yan set off from Chengde Mansion, returned to Beiping Mansion, and lived in the Nanjing Palace built by the Khitans.
At the same time, a large number of people involved in the incident were escorted to Beiping Mansion, waiting for Zhang Zhang's handling.
However, Zhang Yan took a look at the list and found that Pei Yuan was still a good person, because among these lists, there was basically no Lao Guiyi Army faction who had been caught, and of course there was no Yin Yuande who was still alive.
These people were relatives of Zhang Gao, and Yin Yuande was Zhang Gao's cousin. It was indeed not appropriate to drag him in front of Zhang Gao and chop him with a knife. Of course, this did not mean that they would not die.
On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Gao ordered Cao Yuanzhong to prepare to return to the sacred capital Luoyang in the near future to deal with Yin Yuande and others.
The punishment given by Zhang Zhang was that Yin Yuande was sentenced to death, and among the remaining more than forty people, seven were hanged, more than thirty were exiled to Ningyuan, and only a few were sentenced to hard labor.
On the first day of February, Fu Zhaoxu sent Zhang Deqing, Li Cunhui sent Zhu Yuan and others north to meet with Zhang Yan. Zhang Deqing also brought news that Fu Zhaoxu had regained Haozhou.
After Liu Renzhan abandoned all his baggage and retreated from Sizhou City that day, Fu Zhaoxu and Zhang Deqing personally led 300 fine cavalry out of the city to pursue them, and annihilated all 400 of Liu Renzhan's iron horses.
However, since Liu Renzhan's army had not been defeated, the two of them did not dare to pursue them, so they returned to Sizhou City.
In this battle, Liu Renzhan's Qing Huai Army and the state and county soldiers from various parts of Shouzhou suffered heavy losses. Although only a thousand people died in the battle, they were all the elites of the Qing Huai Army. The baggage lost was even more than Liu Renzhan's three.
Most of what I have accumulated over the years is said to be severely damaged.
In Xuzhou City, after Zhu Yuan escorted Zhao Kuangzan out of the city that day, Li Cunhui and Liu Zaisheng's troops entered the city directly.
Prior to this, the low-level officers and tooth soldiers instigated by Zhu Yuan also immediately started taking action.
When Li Cunhui took control of Xuzhou City, most of the following generals, Li Yuan and the former commander of the Zuoying of Wuning Town, were killed or captured by the Ya soldiers who were eager to make up for their mistakes.
Then Zhang Liecheng entered the city. Zhu Yuan did most of his work, and the rest was easy. Zhang Liecheng immediately used the excuse that his shop in Xuzhou City had been looted and ordered the remaining seven or eight Wuning Town generals to
All the officials were hacked to death.
Naturally, he was soon deprived of his official position as the Commander of the Jinyi Guards by Zhang Yan because of this, and he 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, they encountered the fiercest resistance from these two people and the thousands of old soldiers they had recruited.
They gathered in the Xuzhou Fuyamen and resisted Li Cunhui's fierce attack for two hours. Finally, they waited until the arrows were used up and the blades became blunt, and they were attacked by Li Cunhui.
Xue Huairang was killed in the melee, and Pan Huan killed himself with the short knife he carried.
When Zhang Gao received the news of the death of these two people, he didn't know what to feel.
These two men were known for their cruelty and greed when they governed the place in history, and it is similar at this time.
But at the same time, both of them have repeatedly made military exploits in response to the invasion of foreign enemies. Whether it was Liu Zhiyuan in history who raised troops, or Zhang Zhi in this time and space who marched into the Central Plains, they both took the initiative and responded by killing Khitan soldiers.
But when everything calmed down, they were full of resentment and could not adapt to the new situation brought about by Zhang Gao. In their hearts, they still wanted to return to the society of the past where holding a horizontal knife was the truth.
He was deeply dissatisfied that Jiedushi could no longer act like a local emperor.
They did not die because of ambition, at least not mainly because of ambition, but because they could not keep up with the situation and were abandoned by the times.
Zhang Gao sighed twice and ordered Xue Huairang and Pan Huan to be buried lavishly. He did not hold their children, parents and brothers accountable for their crimes, nor did he confiscate their already small family property. He just chose to distribute their families to
Arrive at Jinzhou, Liaoxi Province.
Outside the city of Beiping Prefecture, more than 100 people from the Xue and Pan families stood in the thick snow, facing the direction of the palace, and kowtowed three times to Zhang Gao as a token of his gratitude for not killing him.
.
As for Wang Jun, who took the initiative to contact everyone, and could even be said to be the rebel in Hexi, the Buddhist master, and the mastermind of the Wuning Army, Zhang Yan didn't look good.
He personally issued an order to sentence Wang Jun to beheaded, which is commonly known as the death of a thousand cuts.
Wang Jun's two sons were executed, his grandson was ordered to change his surname and was sent to Shuofang to guard the border, and all the property of his female family members was confiscated.
Liu Chengyou's uncle Li Ye and Hebei's Zhao Zaili and Liu Jixun were tortured by being broken into pieces and their entire family property was confiscated. Their descendants were also sent to Shuofang to guard the border.
Zhang Yan eventually opened up the net. After Zhao Zaili presented all the family property, he asked Gao Xingzhou to intercede with Zhang Yan, hoping to allow his grandson Zhao Yanxun to live.
Zhang Yan finally reluctantly agreed and ordered Zhao Yanxun to change his surname to Gao Huaixun, and he was regarded as Gao Xingzhou's adopted son.
Gao Huaide was beside Zhang Yan at the time and rolled his eyes speechlessly at his father Gao Xingzhou's unpolitical behavior.
It's fine now. If anything happens to Gao Huaixun in the future, the Gao family won't be able to escape.
At the same time, Gao Huaide also knew why Zhang Yan did what he did. After what happened to Gao Xingzhou, no one would dare to intercede for this kind of thing in the future.
As for Wuning Town in Xuzhou, Zhang Yan was indeed prepared to arrange things for them impartially according to the law at first, but who would have thought that they actually did such outrageous things in Xuzhou.
In this large city with a population of 40,000 to 50,000 people, as many as 5,000 to 6,000 people died as a result of this turmoil. The Xuzhou market, which had finally become prosperous, was also severely hit.
For a moment, Zhang Yan wanted to dig a hole outside Xuzhou City and bury them all.
....
Murong Nobunaga was riding on a white horse. This white horse was in its prime, with only four black hooves. It looked very much like his former horse, Smoke in the Snow.
Of course it does, this white horse is Xue Li Yanchen's half-brother, both were produced at the Jiedan Army Racecourse.
The original Xue Liyanchen was no longer suitable for fighting on the battlefield, and is now retiring in Shenyang City.
Thinking of the smoke and dust in the snow, Murong Nobunaga also felt a little emotional. This horse is similar to a human. It looks very heroic on the battlefield, but in fact it still has a damage to the life span.
Xue Li Yanchen's father is already thirty-three years old, and he can still work as a stallion at the military horse farm in Xiedan. He can mate seven or eight times a week, and can successfully impregnate more than fifteen young mares in a year.
What a pervert!
You must know that the average lifespan of a war horse is only about thirty years. Xue Li Yanchen's father is equivalent to a human being who is seventy or eighty years old. He can still be a groom every night. I can't help but accept it.
As for Xue Li Yanchen, he was only eighteen years old, and Murong Nobunaga was already reluctant to let him go to the battlefield, for fear that one day he would destroy his life and death partner.
From this, Murong Nobunaga also thought of himself. He was about to be thirty years old, and he had been fighting all year round, traveling in deserts, snowy mountains, and pine deserts. He was a little worried about whether he could live to be sixty years old.
If we don’t speed up the conquest of Goryeo as soon as possible, and we are almost at the end of our lives before we have to wait until the Japanese are pacified, then what’s the point?
The city of Peiping was already in sight in the distance. Thinking that he would soon see his adoptive father, the emperor, especially his mother, Murong Nobunaga felt hot in his heart. He couldn't help but gently pinch the horse's belly and speed up.
However, before he had even galloped a few steps, Murong Nobunaga's attention was attracted by the sound of the Buddha's name.
The old boy looked up and saw a skinny Indian monk standing on the side of the road with three rather majestic men wearing silk robes.
Murong Nobunaga's heart moved, and he recognized who this monk was, "Why is Master Cixian here? Are you here to wait for a certain family?"
As he spoke, Murong Nobunaga coughed slightly, and dozens of horsemen immediately surrounded 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 facing a formidable enemy.
These dozens of knights are all wearing white robes with one-piece hoods, their saddles are decorated with silver, and the swords and bows on the sides of the horses are painted with white paint.
This is the personal protection cavalry that Murong Nobunaga established after he returned to the Central Plains from the Zuoyu Linwei Fenghuo Cavalry Camp with the consent and name of Zhang Gao.
His name is White Robe Silver Saddle Akihiro, and he has 600 cavalry. When mounted, he is a fine cavalry, and when dismounted, he is a warrior. He wears light armor and can be a top-notch roving army, and heavy armor is an invincible armored soldier.
Although the three people around Master Cixian are all famous warriors, they are still very anxious when surrounded by such elites.
