Chapter 259 Anne Huang County
After the west gate of Huang County was opened, the subsequent development completely exceeded Zhao Yinghao's expectations, and it was so smooth that he couldn't believe it.

Gu Yi arranged for the men to open the west gate and welcome the fifth infantry battalion into the city. Then, under the leadership of various "leading parties", they successively received the other east, south and north gates.

Zhao Yinghao only left one platoon of manpower for each city gate, and the other guarding soldiers were still the original soldiers and horses of Huang County.

In addition to the cooperation between Gu Yi and the soldiers and horses in the city, the people of Huang County flattered Zhao Yinghao even more, and it felt like "eating a pot of pulp to welcome the king's division".

Every street where the Xinghan League soldiers walked was lined with various onlookers. Most of the second-floor windows on both sides of the street were opened from the inside, revealing the onlookers looking out.

With a soldier's ear, Zhao Yinghao could even hear some common people talking among themselves.

"This is the army of the Xinghan League. The energy and spirit are indeed different from the armies we have seen before. They are completely different."

"The troops of the Xinghan League have entered Huang County. Will we be managed by the Xinghan League in the future?"

"Maybe…"

"I hope those good deeds can come soon and we can live a good life for a few days."

……

There are also some negative and unwelcome remarks made by some gentry, local gangsters or people who run gambling houses. Among the majority of good people, such people account for a very small proportion.

With less than two companies of manpower, Zhao Yinghao entered the Huangxian County Government.

"That's all you have here?" Gu Yi was surprised when he saw that there were less than 500 soldiers following Zhao Yinghao (more than 100 people were guarding the four gates of Huang County).

"It's enough. They are all elites. It is enough to rely on the city wall to protect this small Huangxian city." Zhao Yinghao replied, knowing that the person asking him the question was Gu Yi, the magistrate of Huangxian County.

"I am Zhao Yinghao, the commander of the fifth infantry battalion of the Xinghan League. This time I was sent by the leader of the alliance to Huang County to assist you in your uprising. The fifth battalion should have 630 people, but there are actually 630 people. Please make arrangements."

Before coming, Liu Xinqi had told him that if Gu Yi cooperated very well, then Gu Yi would take charge of matters in Huang County.If there is nothing wrong with Gu Yi, Zhao Yinghao will act expediently in Huang County, with the main purpose of preventing the Jin-Qi coalition forces from receiving supplies from Huang County.

Zhao Yinghao saw a guard beside Gu Yi. With his burly figure, he was obviously a soldier. He guessed that this must be Liu Xinyuan's backup plan before he left.

With such a "bodyguard" following him, Zhao Yinghao didn't believe that Gu Yi could be uncooperative.

"The previous plan was for you to take over Huang County. After taking over, I won't have to take care of it. Now, everything I can do has been done since you entered the city." Gu Yi did not want to take this job.

"The alliance leader has said that we are all stubborn, rough guys. We can fight and kill enemies, but we can't manage a city, so we still have to trouble you. As long as you tell us, we will definitely do it and we will never shirk the blame." Zhao Yinghao replied.

The promise given to Gu Yi before was to convince him and was a temporary measure. Now that he had entered this "pit of fire", how could he still be able to protect himself wisely? He must have the strength and wisdom to act wisely. "Hey..., okay then." Gu Yi sighed. He had almost expected this scene before.

"The most important thing now is to clean up some forces that are loyal to the puppet Qi, and then strengthen the city defense to prevent the Jin-Qi coalition forces in the east of the city from dividing their forces to attack Huang County..." Gu Yi began to introduce the situation in the city to Zhao Yinghao, without using a commanding tone. say.

"Your order is to find your plan. Do you want me to clean up the die-hard loyalists of the Puppet Qi now?" Zhao Yinghao asked, acting like a very stubborn and rough man, which was very consistent with his self-introduction.

The battalion commanders and above of the Xinghan League are all equipped with three-star general cards. The first-level general card comes with five strategies. Even if you are originally a stick, you will definitely have a few more branches after adding the card. Zhao Yinghao Just wanting Gu Yi to make the decision was his "voting certificate", which made him completely stop thinking about betting on both ends and focus on serving the Xinghan League.

Only in this way can Gu Yi's role as the county magistrate be brought into full play, and the benefits of defending the city can be maximized.

Gu Yi looked at the [-] elite soldiers following Zhao Yinghao. At a glance, he saw that almost [-]% of them were "warriors", all of whom were the kind of warriors next to him who could fight one against ten without getting hurt.Before these people entered the city, he might have had a few other options. Now that these people had entered the city, he had only the only choice left.

Since there is no other choice, just give the new "master" a good initial impression, and the future life will be easier.

"There are several officials and gentry in the city who are loyal to the puppet Qi, and some are collaborators with the Jin Kingdom. These are all uncontrollable factors in the subsequent battle to defend the city. Let my cronies take you to clean them up." Gu Yi arranged directly. : “In order to fight against foreign aggression, we must first settle the domestic situation. It is better to nip these uncontrollable factors in the bud.”

"To fight against foreigners, we must first settle the domestic affairs" is not absolutely correct in later generations. There are two very typical examples. The Ming Dynasty and the National Dynasty both chose to fight against the foreigners before settling the domestic affairs. The Ming Dynasty failed to stabilize the internal affairs, and was besieged internally and externally. The country was besieged. The internal rebel forces captured the country, and the country was eventually occupied by external thieves.Jiang Gong was also a hero of his generation. At that time, the interests of the broad masses were to fight against foreigners, and the general trend of the country called for "fighting against foreigners." However, he went against the trend for his own interests. In the end, he also failed in peace and traveled across the ocean without ever landing. Go to the mainland.

But at present, it seems that the former Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first rectified the country, and then he could do his best to deal with the Xiongnu.

Wherever there is precedent, it is true that "before fighting against external forces, one must first settle within."

Until now, Zhao Yinghao had been guided and led by Gu Yi to clean up the unstable factors in the city. In the end, he not only greatly strengthened his control over the city, but also harvested a large amount of food supplies and money. .

For those unstable elements, except for those who resisted vigorously and picked up guns and knives, others were only temporarily detained.

After this wave of war is over, these people will be screened according to the standards of the Xinghan League. Those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be sentenced to death to show the anger of the people; those whose crimes are forgivable will be arranged to undergo labor reform; those who have committed different positions but have not committed any evil will be sentenced to death. His freedom will be returned.

Presumably there are very few people in the last category. In this era, in the final analysis, they are all digging in the soil, and few of them can accumulate capital cleanly.

In the process of clearing up these unstable factors, the Fifth Infantry Battalion also showed what "immortal soldiers and immortal generals" are to the following Gu Yi's cronies and the onlookers in Huang County.

All the people who gathered around to watch the excitement became convinced of the rumors of immortals and gods of the Xinghan League.

Faced with cases of resistance amid instability, Zhao Yinghao always arranged for soldiers to resolve them.That kind of extreme disparity in force would make people very desperate. After putting on the steel armor, you will be invulnerable. In addition, there is no enemy where the sword and gun go. No matter how atheistic, you can't help but admire:
"What an immortal soldier and general!"
