Chapter 62: Fellow Daoist Stays
It turns out that Yuan Danlaodao has secretly made up his mind. If Tang Sect, Huaixian Pavilion and Lishui Sect really dare to enter Yizhou, Qingcheng will not hesitate to fight them and drive them out of Yizhou.
But the addition of the Luofu Sect immediately made things complicated. Even if the Qingcheng Sect had the foundation and strength, they would not dare to go to war with the four princes of the Luofu, Tangmen, Lishui Sect and Huaixian Pavilion at the same time - there was no sect in the world.
How dare you do this.
In desperation, Elder Yu was ordered to meet Tang Shisan again: "You have won. The Yizhou Trusteeship Committee and the Qingcheng faction agree to join."
Tang Shisan shook his head and said: "Whether the Qingcheng faction can join or not is not up to me. On this trip to Qingcheng Mountain, Tang is just here to report, to avoid misunderstandings. After all, the Yizhou army who was captured by the Huaixian Pavilion,
There are several monks who claim to be from the Qingcheng sect, and I think that the Huaixian Pavilion will not agree to join your sect until they are thoroughly clarified. Now that the matter has been made clear, it is time for Tang to leave."
Elder Yu was so choked that he couldn't breathe. He watched Tang Shisan leave in a daze, and after a long time he chased him out: "Fellow Taoist Tang, stay!"
Tang Shisan turned around: "Elder Yu, what else can you do?"
Elder Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Without the Qingcheng faction participating in the trusteeship committee, it is absolutely impossible to successfully manage the affairs of the Jiedu Mansion. I can guarantee you this. Of course, if the Qingcheng faction joins, we will take charge of the trusteeship committee when the trusteeship committee is established.
Do your best to be a landlord..."
Tang Shisan asked: "For example?"
Elder Yu said: "For example, you can appropriately pay for the expenses of the monks from various sects stationed in Yizhou, including a few spiritual stones..."
Tang Shisan said: "It's a small expense, but I won't bother the nobles."
Elder Yu hesitated again: "Also... the Qingcheng Sect will definitely not send any disciples to join the Yizhou Army, but the sect is too big and has many affiliated branches. Maybe some people will join the army privately.
, can we go and identify one or two of these people?"
Tang Shisan thought for a while and said: "Since we have said this, may I make some suggestions?"
Elder Yu said bitterly: "Fellow Taoist, please take a seat."
During the fierce negotiations on Qingcheng Mountain, the process of screening for demotion in Menngle Mountain was also accelerating. Because the affairs were so complex, Yang Jian was still in Nanwu Prefecture, and Gu You, who had just broken the Golden Pill, also called in to help.
According to Zhao Zuo's request, Yang Jian, Liu Xuanji and Gu You organized their manpower, regardless of soldiers and cooks, and divided the soldiers into three large groups.
There were surrendered soldiers with family members, ordinary surrendered soldiers without family members, and officers and monks without family members. With the arrival of the 1,800 surrendered soldiers who surrendered in Moshan, the entire screening process came to an end.
There were more than 4,000 family members. These people began to set off one after another and were escorted to Nanwu Prefecture. At the same time, they were asked to write down the addresses of their families one by one. The Nanwu Army sent people to Yizhou and informed each family: If the family members were willing to move to
In Southern Wu Prefecture, the descended soldiers can be placed in Nan Wu Prefecture on the spot, and the Changshi Mansion is responsible for allocating the land. If not, the descended soldiers will be sent to serve in southern Xinjiang. The service period is three years, and they will be released after serving. No matter whether they live or die.
.
There were more than 7,000 ordinary soldiers who had no family members. They were organized into seven camps and sent to Yongchang for farming. The farming period was also three years. They could be pardoned at the end of the period. However, if they escaped midway, they would be executed immediately after being caught.
The officers without family members were all monks, about 600 of them. For these people, they were asked if they were willing to join the Southern Wu Army. If they were willing, everything was easy to say. They would sign and postpone their joining the army. Those who were unwilling were also sent to serve in Southern Xinjiang for a period of ten years.
Year.
According to the voluntary principle, the 12,000 surrendered soldiers all willingly chose to move to Nanwu Prefecture or to garrison in Yongchang, and no one was forced.
On November 15th, the first batch of 500 ordinary soldiers who moved to Nanwu Prefecture set off southward under the escort of fifty Nanwu troops.
Gu Zuo stood on a huge rock beside the mountain road, taking Yang Jian, Liu Xuanji, Gu You and others to watch the soldiers march in formation. In addition, at Yang Jian's suggestion, He Luguang was also removed from the cave where he was imprisoned.
He brought it up and was among the officials seeing him off.
When the soldiers passed by, many of the brave ones turned around and bowed to the boulder where Gu Zuo and others were standing. They were not worshiping Gu Zuo, but He Luguang.
Watching the 500 surrendered soldiers walking away, Liu Xuanji was very worried: "With so many people, if they are accompanied by their families, there will probably be 30,000 or 40,000 people, right? How can we in Nan Wu Prefecture afford to support them?"
Gu Zuodao: "When the world is in chaos, these people are the most precious resources. With them, Southern Wu Prefecture has the ability to protect itself... As for food, the former Taoist priest has sent a letter from Yizhou, Jiedu Mansion
There are mountains of piles in the Yizhou Army's treasury, enough to feed everyone in Nanwu Prefecture for two years - including them. After all, these are young and strong, the most important manpower. You can see that although they are not good at fighting, they still have some appearance of marching.
.”
Liu Xuanji asked: "Master, you always say that the world will be in chaos. Will An Lushan really rebel? He is so favored by His Majesty, is so powerful, and is a very popular minister. Does he really want to be the emperor? Chongxuan Department doesn't
Maybe he agreed! I really can’t think of a reason for him to rebel.”
Gu Zuodao: "I can't think of it either, but do you know something?"
Liu Xuanji asked: "What's the matter?"
Gu Zuo pointed to his head: "When I came to Beijing this spring, I suddenly had an enlightenment. I can tell fortunes. Do you think it's magical?"
Liu Xuanji turned away and quietly rolled his eyes. He Luguang, who had been standing silently next to him, couldn't bear it any longer. He snorted and said to Liu Xuanji: "Your Gu Gu master also said that he opened a divination.
, until Li Mi is about to die, hehe."
Gu You said from the side: "Master Gu is a thousand-year-old prodigy from my Gu family in Kuaiji. His calculations are all accurate and every calculation must be verified. You two just wait."
He Luguang said contemptuously: "A thousand-year-old genius? What did you say in Jiedu Mansion..."
While he was talking, Taoist priest Yuan, who was originally in Yizhou, suddenly flew from the mountain with his sword light, circled in a circle and landed on the boulder, and said to Gu Zuo: "Master, there is news from Chang'an that Li Mi has been beheaded!
"
He Luguang suddenly opened his mouth and turned pale.
Gu Zuo glanced at He Luguang and asked: "Why are you coming back to report? Has the inventory of Yizhou's treasury been completed? Lao Yuan, the Trusteeship Committee will be stationed soon. I tell you, we must hurry up on this matter!"
Taoist priest Yuan nodded: "Everything has been cleaned up, and the wooden storage box is full. I have to run back and forth more than ten times. Isn't this going back to Nanwuzhou to deliver things? I'll give you a message along the way. Also, Xian Yuxiang is resigning.
....."
Before he finished speaking, Taoist Yuan was grabbed by He Luguang: "Is the news true? How is it possible? Where did you get the news?"
As a high-level cultivator of Nascent Soul, he is always respected. Moreover, Taoist Priest Yuan also knew that Gu Zuo had always hoped to surrender He Luguang. Therefore, Taoist Priest Yuan patiently explained: "The general in the palace passed on
After receiving the news, the Political Affairs Hall convened a meeting with important ministers. Xianyu Xiang raised troops without permission and resigned pending investigation. Li Mi, who was good at changing the route of troops, should be responsible for the defeat and be executed."
"General? Gao Lishi?"
"yes."
He Luguang burst into laughter suddenly: "Even Gao Lishi is secretly colluding with you? Haha, haha, can we not be defeated in this battle? Xian Yuxiang is exempted, haha... General Li, behead..."
