Chapter 54: One wave is not settled, one wave after another
Shaoling, the county office meeting hall, each of them had their heads filled with heads. The faces of the heads had been carefully washed, and the boxes were filled with quicklime to keep them fresh, because these heads were about to set off and head to Chang'an, thousands of miles away.
The emperor has returned to Chang'an, and he still needs a great victory and a head to stabilize the hearts of the people. In the battle of Shaoling, more than 100,000 enemy troops were destroyed, and the situation changed. I hope that the good news will reach Guanzhong, and people from all sides will be more confident in the rebuilt court.
Last night, the Shannan army beheaded more than 10,000 generals, and there were thirty-six heads of Yitong and above, including six marching generals, not to mention the heads of middle and low-level generals. It was a "great harvest".
Since ancient times, military merits were mostly calculated by the heads of wars. The heads of generals above were naturally different from those of ordinary soldiers. They need to be treated differently. In the Battle of Shaoling, the troops of various units made a lot of efforts, and even ordinary soldiers had achieved great success, so what was waiting for them in the future would inevitably be generous rewards.
It is an extraordinary merit to win the head of the enemy general, and it is not impossible to use it to be awarded a title. Zhou State has a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, is a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, is a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, is a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, is a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, is a title of title of title, a title of title, a title of title, a title of title, is a title of title of title, a title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, is a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, is a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, is a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, is a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of title of title, is a title of title of title, a title of title of title, a title of
A king's title can only be granted unless the royal family or those who make great contributions. In addition, the five-level titles are the nine destiny of justice, the eight destiny of Hou Zheng, the seven destiny of Bo Zheng, the six destiny of Zi Zheng, and the five destiny of Male Zheng.
A chief minister of the eight-nation prefecture, or the county magistrate of Qianhu County, has the rank of the five-nation prefecture.
There was a town baron. When he returned to his hometown, the local officials were treated with courtesy. He was glorious in front of his fellow villagers. That was a glorious family.
The wealth and honor are not returned to their hometown, just like walking in the night in brocade clothes. At this moment, the generals in the conference hall are all over the place. Some have not yet been awarded titles, so they are looking forward to the scene of returning home in triumph, while some have already obtained titles, and this time they will definitely advance. When they think that even their wives and children can benefit from each other, they are naturally full of spring breeze.
While everyone was talking, a whistle sounded "Silent! The king is here!" from the door. As soon as the words were finished, the hall became quiet. The generals stood in line and looked at the door quietly.
Several people walked in. The first one was King Yuwen of Xiyang. Seeing generals saluting him, they nodded frequently to show their greetings. As the commander of the entire army and the royal family of the Great Zhou royal family, his status was unparalleled. It was good to nod and return the greetings.
At this time, Li Yunxin, who was also the chief minister, was in charge of Xuanhu and stabilized the rear. Therefore, no one could control Yuwen Wen in theory, and even if Li Yunxin was there, he could not control Yuwen Wen in fact.
All the generals knew that, except for the emperor, the only one who could control the King of Xiyang was the King of Qi. The Prince of Qi was probably reluctant, but no one felt that it was inappropriate. King of Xiyang kept bringing victory to everyone, and such an outstanding commander should not be constrained.
Among the generals present, most of them were generals of the Anzhou Army. They were originally under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu Ling of Shannan Road and the Prince of Qi, Yu, was civilized and restrained. They were later seconded to the General Manager of Huangzhou, and King Yuwen of Xiyang. Since then, continuous victories have made everyone convinced the King of Xiyang.
Therefore, the generals had no objection to the first-level allocation plan personally decided by the King of Xiyang.
Yuwen Wen glanced at the rows of heads, came to the top, looked around the generals, and then spoke: "Our army won for the first time, we must not take it lightly. We must seize the time to arrange defense, and the statistical results of the head..."
Yinshi Master, who also served as Gongcao, stepped forward and read aloud with a document. It was the number of beheadings determined after repeated verifications. Now the "quota" is announced in public.
The heads of generals of all sizes are eliminated, and only the general heads are "quota-divided".
This is to avoid soldiers fighting for the heads and not worrying about killing the enemy, which leads to a major change in the battle situation, winning first and losing later. In order to avoid this situation, Yuwen Wen specially formulated a "guaranteed" plan.
The team that served as the first to head last night was divided into half of the heads, and then rushed into the camp to fight, and the team that had 30% of the heads, and the auxiliary soldiers who cleaned the battlefield were divided into 10% of the heads.
The team who stayed behind the camp and guarded the baggage were divided into 10%.
The ratio of five, three, one, one was decided before the war. How should the generals of each division allocate the head numbers to their subordinates? Then, it is up to you to do it yourself, but the distribution results must be reported and will be reviewed by the King of Xiyang personally.
Who dares to commit fraud and reward and punish unfairly to drink soldiers' blood? Yuwen Wen will teach him step by step how to write the word "death".
All the heads were divided, almost everyone had a share, and the foreign soldiers who helped the battle also had a share. Only Yuwen Wen, who was the head coach, did not have a head in his name. It was not that he was pretentious, but because there was no need.
Since going to the war at the end of the previous year, Yuwen Wen has made countless military achievements. If he continues to make great contributions like this, what will the court reward him?
He is already a prince's title, and he will reach the top after one level is promoted. That is the king's title, which is the "one-character king" mentioned in the Romance. Just by his merits, Yuwen Wen is fully qualified to advance.
However, Yuwen Wen's prince became a pseudo-emperor, and the princess became a "demonic concubine". Although the emperor had issued an edict to pardon the two of them during the Xiyang period, if such a dispute involving orthodoxism was settled in the future, he would have to bleed heavily to settle it.
It is said that Yuwen Wen should make more contributions to his wife and children, but he chose another way, which is to buy the morale of the army.
A commander who often wins battles is most popular among soldiers. When it comes to rumors at the right time, he can muddle the water. Yuwen Wen does not want to wear a yellow robe, but wants to implement a sense of self-respect.
If anyone in the court dares to make things difficult for Yuchi Chifan and Yuwen Weicheng, he will dare to mutiny and not be afraid of causing major trouble.
At that time, I will play the role of a father and brother and have a good time. Who else dares to be a secret person?
Yuwen Wen thought to himself that the generals had no objection to the number of heads counted by Yinshi Master. The soldiers stepped forward and sealed these wooden boxes with heads and took them away, and the messenger was sent to Chang'an, thousands of miles away to report the victory.
"As the saying goes," Yuwen Wen suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the generals again. "A wave has not yet been settled and the wave has started again. I just received an urgent report from Anlu that a mutiny occurred in Jiankang, the capital of Chen State, and the scale is quite large."
As soon as this statement was made, the generals were stunned. Before they could come back to their senses, Yuwen Wen continued: "We have led our troops for many years and know the bad habits in the army. This time, the king and minister of Chen may have done too much, so something happened."
"And it's a big deal, I'm afraid it won't be able to calm down for a while."
Yang Su, who was tired, became energetic and asked first: "King, I wonder how long has the Jiankang mutiny happened?"
“Four days ago.”
"So fast?"
The generals were surprised. Yang Su smelled a different implicit meaning from this answer, because the news came too fast, but Yuwen Wen returned:
"This time, the envoy of the dynasty was sent to Jiankang and arranged a detailed work in the city. After getting the news, he rode his horse to Anlu day and night, and at least he rushed back in time."
When the generals nodded when they heard this, Yang Su did not ponder anymore. Yuwen Wen lied in public to cover up the secret of Fei Ge's passing of the letter. After all, theoretically speaking, it is not impossible to travel 800 miles a day from Jiankang riding a horse back to Anlu.
Of course, the details will not be revealed, because they cannot stand scrutiny. When Yuwen Wen was just by the river, Deanlu sent a messenger to send the news, and he immediately made a decision to return to the city and announced it.
Large-scale mutiny occurred in Chen Guoguo. If it is handled well, it is just a disease of scabies. If it is handled poorly, it will directly lead to the war situation in Huainan again. Yuwen Wen had to be careful, so he had to inform the generals of this news so that the strategies could be adjusted as soon as possible.
He didn't have much rest last night, and he didn't care about his fatigue and began to dispatch troops: "Envoy Yang."
"There is the official!"
"Your troops will rest immediately, attack early tomorrow morning, harass the enemy's territory, and announce a manifesto!"
"The emperor accepts the order!" Yang Su paused and asked, "King, don't you know the manifesto?"
Chapter completed!
