Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 223 Fighting Wits and Xie An

Xie An has a great reputation. If celebrities are compared to stars of later generations, then Xie An belongs to the level of superstars.Zhuge Xiang is Xie An's biggest fan.

However, Gao Jingzong couldn't understand Xie An.Some people say that he has the style of an ancient virtuous and benevolent gentleman, some say that his wisdom is almost like a monster, and some people say that his loyalty is like a traitor... In short, Xie An has been playing around in history, living in seclusion in Dongshan in Kuaiji County, with Wang Xizhi, Xu Xun, Celebrities such as Zhi Daolin and famous monks frequently made friends, went fishing and hunting when they went out, and recited poems and compositions when they returned home, but they did not want to be officials.Wang Dao, Wang Meng, Fan Wang and other dignitaries offered an olive branch to Xie An, but Xie An declined them all.However, after Xie Shang and Xie Yi died, Xie An did not hesitate to become a servant.

Gao Jingzong said: "Zhuge Xiang!"

Zhuge Xiang said: "The end is here!"

Gao Jingzong said: "The governor of the Northern Expedition was ordered by the emperor. He supervised the military affairs of the five prefectures of You, Ji, Bing, Yan, and Qing, but he had no right to deal with the affairs of the common people. You are concerned with the imperial court, and you have made great contributions. You should be rewarded for your merits. , Those who have meritorious deeds shall be punished. All the officers and men of Erbu will be rewarded according to their military merits, which is the same as that of the Beifu Army. Beheading the first level, the reward is 20, and the family members of the dead are rewarded with a million. The disabled pension is [-] for soup and medicine. The governor has no cash in hand. Therefore, the rewards are all cashed in fields, and the governor can set aside a field in the fief and arrange for you!"

Hearing this, the generals of Zhuge Xiang's troops became very excited.Only Zhuge Xiang was secretly surprised.Gao Jingzong's light words are tantamount to buying his troops directly. I am afraid that the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army will never remember him as a commander, but only recognize Gao Jingzong.

As a separatist warlord in troubled times, the army is his foundation.He is nothing without an army.But Gao Jingzong used Yangmou.Even if he saw Gao Jingzong's sinister intentions, there was nothing he could do.As long as he dares to oppose, hundreds of generals around him will immediately turn against him.

Because the so-called loyalty is actually not enough bargaining chips for betrayal.Gao Jingzong's bargaining chip at this time is enough to drive the Bingzhou army crazy, let alone let them betray him.

Poison, really too poisonous.Zhuge Xiang felt very resentful in his heart, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he bowed and saluted and said, "Thank you, Commander, General!"

"The last general is waiting, thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"

Gao Jingzong's personal guards began to announce the scale of Gao Jingzong's rewards. At this time, all the generals of the Bingzhou Army were as tangled as if they were constipated.Gao Jingzong's actions were impeccable, and there was no loophole for them to take advantage of. At this moment, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army had separated from them.

Gao Jingzong said to Zhuge Xiang and other generals: "Now Xie Shizhong is here. He will represent the imperial court and reward you all!"

Xie An remained calm, but his heart felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.Xie An secretly said: "Mistake, misstep, really too much of a mistake. This is simply a capsize in the gutter!"

Xie An has long seen that Gao Jingzong intends to annex the Bingzhou Army, and the Bingzhou Army has persisted in Bingzhou for nearly eight years since the split from Ran Wei in [-] AD. Hu Xuezhan, this is an army with rich experience.Improve your poor equipment, and with a little training, you will be an elite soldier.What's more, this army has abundant supplementary soldiers.If the imperial court obtains the Bingzhou Army, it can easily obtain an elite army, and based on the Bingzhou Army, it can expand the army into an important field force.From then on, the Huan Wen family was no longer the dominant family in the imperial court, or Gao Jingzong and Huan Wen stood side by side.

However, Gao Jingzong bought the hearts of the Bingzhou Army with a simple sentence.Even the imperial court did not have such courage.Gao Jingzong dared to reward his food city to the soldiers of the Bingzhou army, because Gao Jingzong had no clan relatives and was alone.If Gao Jingzong has a clan, his family can only give priority to relatives.

Became a shadow household in Gao Jingzong's food town, and the Bingzhou army could only obey Gao Jingzong's orders. Even if Gao Jingzong was willing to raise the flag to rebel and claim hegemony, they would follow to the end.

However, Gao Jingzong ate the essence of the Bingzhou Army, but threw the dross to the court.However, at this time the imperial court needs to rely heavily on Gao Jingzong, and cannot dismantle him.

Xie An turned his head sharply and said with a smile: "An is the envoy of the imperial court and has no right to intervene in the promotion of the generals in the Northern Expedition, but he can convey the opinions of the high governor on his behalf!"

Xie An's head was not slow to turn, and he thought of a countermeasure in an instant.Gao Jingzong threw Zhuge Xiang, a hot potato, to the court, and Xie An kicked the ball back with his backhand.

Gao Jingzong smiled slightly, and said to Cui Yao: "Uncle!"

Cui Cheng cupped his hands and said: "The lower official is here!"

Gao Jingzong said: "Prepare to prepare a memorial."

Cui Cheng immediately found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the tent of the Chinese army, and spread out the paper to fill the pen with ink.

Gao Jingzong said: "Application to the imperial court for Zhuge Xiang to be appointed governor of Bingzhou, Xirong Xiaowei (a fourth-rank military officer) to be awarded the Marquis of Guannei. All the generals will be promoted to a higher level."

Apart from wry smile, Xie An still smiled wryly.Now he was shooting himself in the foot.

After Gao Jingzong dealt with Zhuge Xiang's affairs, he started to work again.Of course, Gao Jingzong was fully prepared in his heart, that is, after the war ended, the troubles might not be less than before the victory was decided.

Thousands of corpses had to be dealt with, and the battlefield had to be thoroughly cleaned up, otherwise the outbreak of the plague would happen sooner or later.In addition, not all the enemies have been killed or captured, and many have fled around. The pursuit of them will last for a long time, cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and is full of danger.

Of course, the biggest problem is - how to treat the captives.

Almost all the officers and soldiers of the Beifu army had blood feuds with Xianbei or Zhuhu. In the official military meeting, there were many generals who advocated killing all the captives to pay homage to the fallen soldiers and the souls of the innocent people who died at the hands of the Yan army.This argument has a huge support group in the military.The anger of the soldiers has been continuously accumulating and brewing since the first day of the outbreak of the war, and today, it finally broke out.

Gao Jingzong understood the feelings of these soldiers.After all, the Xianbei Murong tribe Yan State adopted a brutal and bloody massacre policy after occupying the Central Plains. These Xianbei people not only like to slaughter Han people, but also like to eat people.There is no food to eat, and the tragedy of human relations where everyone cannibalize each other is a choice of desperation. Although such a fact of cannibalism is unacceptable, it is understandable.

However, Xianbei people cannibalize people purely to satisfy their appetites, or out of deterrence to the Han people. Anyway, they don't eat people because they have no food to eat.But because I like to eat and want to eat, I take the initiative to catch the Han people and enter the cooking.
