On Su Xuan's side, because there was a golden eagle delivering the message, he received the good news from Gao Shun just over ten minutes later.
"Oops! Bo Ping is fast enough! This is how Gao Yang was captured!"
"We have already set out to capture Suixian County and even Jiangxia!"
Su Xuan was also overjoyed after reading the secret letter.
He understood that Gao Shun's side lacked soldiers and horses, so he immediately summoned Dian Wei and ordered:"Dian Wei, you ask Zhou Cang to lead 2,000 Xuanwu battalion soldiers to stay in Xinye and take custody of them. captive;"
"You immediately lead the remaining 4,000 Xuanwu Battalion soldiers to Gaoyang, leaving 500 soldiers there to help guard the prisoners and protect the money and food there;"
"After that, you continue to lead the army to chase Gao Shun's army, and together with him, you destroy the remnants of Zhao Ci's army in Jiangxia County, and regain Jiangxia County."
"Here!"
Dian Wei immediately handed over his hands and accepted the order.
"correct!"
At this time, Su Xuan stopped him again, then waved to Taishi Ci who was not far away, and ordered:"Ziyi, you go with Dian Wei."
"Here!"
Taishici immediately accepted the order happily.
Recovering Jiangxia is also a great achievement!
It's not a loss!
Soon, Dianwei hurriedly organized his army, packed up, and set off
"Lord, what should we do with these prisoners?"
Huang Zhong came over at this time and asked.
Excluding those who were killed and a few who escaped, there are more than 30,000 remaining prisoners here, and there are more than 2,000 in Xinye City.
If you don't handle it well, you have to come out. It’s a big problem.
After Su Xuan heard this, he immediately replied:"Send them all to Nanjun and organize them into engineering teams. They will be able to build bridges and pave roads, open up fields, and even mine. It will be great."
"We are currently short of people for the construction work we are doing!"
"Paying people is a big expense every month. This time we just treat these people as free labor."
"certainly!"
Speaking of this, Su Xuan paused and added:"They must not overdo their work every day, and they are guaranteed three meals a day. They cannot use only consumables. After all, they are all Han"370" people."
"If you were a barbarian, you wouldn't have to worry about it."
"In addition, reward and punishment measures must be formulated to increase their work enthusiasm and give them a little hope;"
"For example, if you perform well, you can eat better and have meat to eat;"
"Score their daily performance, and when they accumulate a certain number of points, their sins can be forgiven and they can be set free....etc;"
"This requires careful thinking and compilation.
Then, Su Xuan looked at Cheng Yu and said,"Zhongde, I'll leave this matter to you!""
"Let Zhoucang cooperate with you!"
"In addition to here, there is also a batch in Gaoyang. There is even more than 200,000 stones of grain and grass there. You can also count them and transport them back to Nanjun for me!"
"Try to be as quick as possible, don't waste too much time, and don't be too blatant and let others find out the details, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble later."
Zhao Ci robbed all this money and food from Jiangxia and other places.
If it was a blatant transportation and someone figured out the amount, what would they do if they want to ask for it back?
Su Xuan certainly doesn't have to give it. After all, It is a trophy.
But I am afraid that these people will report it to the emperor.
In order to rebuild the Nangong in the past two years, the emperor has almost gone crazy with poverty. He has been collecting money everywhere, but he can only get in and out.
If he finds out, is it possible that Su Xuan will not turn over most of it? ?
So, it’s better to keep a low profile.
Of course, you still have to turn over a small part in the end, in order to calm the emperor’s heart, and bribe the emperor and Zhang Rang at the same time, so that he can get the reward smoothly later.
In other words, it is also; the rebellion of Zhao Ci was put down, Retaking the two counties of Nanyang and Jiangxia, right?
This is a great achievement
"Here! The subordinates understand!"
After hearing this, Cheng Yu immediately smiled knowingly and accepted.
He likes this kind of work.
It was already dusk at this time, and Su Xuan was not prepared to rush to Wancheng overnight.
Anyway, Zhao Ci, the leader of the thieves, is dead. He The main force has also been taken down, and the remaining troops in Wancheng can no longer make any waves.
There are secret guards watching over there in the dark, and they can use the golden eagle to send messages over at any time, so there is no need to worry.
Immediately, Su Xuan then asked Huang Zhong and Zhang He to escort tens of thousands of prisoners to Xinye City.
He handed all the prisoners to Zhou Cang and the soldiers of Xuanwu Camp.
They repaired in Xinye for a night.
Early the next morning, they had breakfast. Later,
Su Xuan personally led 4,000 Xuanjia troops, more than 3,000 soldiers of the Xiaoqi battalion, and 800 soldiers of the Guards battalion and set out to kill Wancheng.
Considering that there were too many prisoners in Xinye City, it was still a bit unsafe to rely only on 2,000 Xuanwu battalion soldiers..
Therefore, he left another 2,000 officers and soldiers of the Xuanjia Army to cooperate with Zhou Cang and Cheng Yu in escorting these prisoners and the captured food, grass and baggage to Nanjun.
Xinye City was only a few dozen miles away from Wancheng, and
Su Xuan and the others were all elite cavalry. , it only took more than an hour to successfully arrive at Wancheng.
With the cooperation of the secret guards in the city, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Su Xuan, Zhang Liao and others first sneaked into the city in batches with the soldiers of the 0 Guards Battalion.
Then , cooperated inside and outside, and directly captured the east city gate.
It didn't take much effort to successfully capture Wancheng and kill all the rebels in the city.
Because, after Su Xuan broke through the city, he ordered people to use a gun to carry Zhao Ci's head. After being persuaded to surrender, most of the rebels in the city lost their fighting spirit and chose to surrender.
Therefore, no more than a thousand were killed, and these were Zhao Ci's die-hard loyalists or relatives.
The remaining nearly 10,000 people were all captured.
They were prepared to be escorted later. Go to Nanjun and join the engineering team or field camp or mine to become free labor.
You know, most of these people are young and strong!
If it weren't for Zhao Ci, where would he find so many good people at once? Young and strong people serve as free labor? They only need to give them a mouthful of food and no wages.
Of course, in this era, there are many common people and refugees who cannot even guarantee food. Even if they are not paid, as long as they are given food, they are probably very willing. Helping Su Xuan to work.
But Su Xuan cannot do this completely.
These refugees who cannot survive cannot be treated completely as cattle and horses.
The treatment of prisoners of war needs to be distinguished.
At present, Nan County actually has many engineering teams, textile workshops, Furniture workshops and even mines, farm camps, etc., have long-term recruitment of refugees to work and farm.
Not only are they provided with food, but they also receive a certain amount of wages every month if they work well.
Because of these policies, Su Xuan has been working hard for more than a year. Each county has absorbed a large number of refugees.
The population of Nan County has increased by nearly 100,000.
Fortunately, he is very rich and can continue to earn a lot of money through the Su Chamber of Commerce and unique products; through the Su Chamber of Commerce and The Zhen Chamber of Commerce purchased a large amount of cheap food to maintain all this.
Of course, these refugees also brought a lot of value to Su Xuan through work.
Whether it was building bridges, paving roads and cities, or working in workshops, mining, Going to the Nongtun camp to participate in land reclamation and farming was not in vain. It was of great help to the development of Nanjun and Su Xuan's industrial development.
In addition, a large amount of money was seized.
All of them were collected by Zhao Ci from Wancheng.
If converted into money, it would be no less than 100 million.
Su Xuan divided 10% of his belongings, mainly antique calligraphy and paintings, and prepared to hand them over to the emperor; anyway, these things were of little value to him, and if he wanted to exchange them for money, he would have to work hard to sell them. trouble!
He secretly had the rest transported out of Wancheng and sent to Nanjun.
After successfully retaking Wancheng, three days later, good news about Gao Shun and Dian Wei came from Jiangxia.
They have successfully recaptured Jiangxia and wiped out all of Zhao Ci's remnant army there.
Su Xuan then wrote a letter and sent someone on horseback to Luoyang.
This cannot be done through the communication channels of homing pigeons and golden eagles.
Will expose his new communication method.
Nanyang Wancheng is not far from Luoyang, but in just over a day, the above watch was delivered to Luoyang and passed to the emperor Liu Hong in the palace.
At the same time, Jiayi quietly came to Zhang Rang's house again with 2 million money and eight pieces of glassware.
He presented souvenirs and expressed his intention to come.
"Tsk tsk! General Zhennan is worthy of being General Zhennan! That’s awesome!"
"Zhao Ci has already been dealt with before he stirred up any trouble!
Zhang Rang praised it, and then said,"Don't worry!" General Zhennan is so sincere, I will help him put in a good word in front of His Majesty!"
"Talk about it! Does General Zhennan have any special requests this time?
Jiayi immediately said:"That's not true!" The only thing is that my lord does not want to be transferred away from Nanjun. The rest of the reward is as long as the prince sees it!"
"clear! Zhang
Rang nodded clearly and said:"Actually, even if we don't say anything, his position as the governor of Nanjun will not change!"" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Because, in addition, with the merits of General Zhennan, if you want to transfer civilians, you can only transfer to Luoyang!"
"People from all parties are probably not happy to see this;"
"Fortunately, General Zhennan obviously doesn't want to come to Luoyang, so this is easy."
After several years of contact, Zhang Rang has a rough idea of what kind of person Su Xuan is.
There is no doubt that he is an extremely ambitious and intelligent person.
He wants to develop and consolidate his own business locally. Fundamentally, I don’t want to come to Luoyang for the time being. It’s really a place of right and wrong. I couldn’t be smarter.
Of course, Zhang Rang couldn’t see through it. He didn’t know that the Han Dynasty was about to usher in great turmoil and troubled times. Otherwise, he wouldn’t think so.
"Then it would be troublesome for Junhou! If there's nothing else, I'll leave!"
With that said, Jia Yi bowed his hands and left.
"Hahaha!"
In the palace, after Liu Hong read the victory report presented by Su Xuan and the attached seizure, Liu Hong couldn't help but burst into laughter:"Okay! OK! Sure enough, it is my General Zhennan who makes me feel most at ease and happy when doing things!"
"This Zhao Ci came with great force and momentum. In just a few days, he was wiped out by General Zhennan. Nanyang and Jiangxia were also recovered. It was really great!"
Liu Hong was even thinking that it would be great if all the generals were as straightforward as Su Xuan, so that he could save his worries.[]
In this way, he doesn't have to worry and get angry every time when the counter-insurgency is not going smoothly in various places.
"Father, tell me, how should I reward General Zhennan this time? How about transferring General Zhennan to Luoyang to serve?"
Zhang Rang was shocked after hearing this. How could the emperor think so?
Fortunately, he calmed down the next moment and thought to himself, next, let's watch my performance.........
Immediately, he bowed respectfully and said:"Return to Your Majesty! How to award the reward is naturally decided by His Majesty. How dare I say anything?" It is customary to retreat before advancing.
As expected, Liu Hong felt extremely comfortable. He immediately pointed at Zhang Rang from afar and scolded with a smile:"You old man can only make me happy;"
"Talk about it! I asked you to help me analyze it. I forgive you."
"Here! Zhang
Rang immediately accepted the order, collected his thoughts and said,"Your Majesty, I think it would be better for General Zhennan to stay in Nanjun!""
"Rewarding can completely promote his military title, and does not necessarily require him to be transferred to the capital."
"Lao Nu feels that he can play a greater role in Nanjun"
"oh?
After hearing this, Liu Hong raised his eyebrows slightly and asked,"Why?" What's the reason?"
"Return to Your Majesty!"
Zhang Rang continued:"Nanyang is a very important position. Having General Zhennan sit in Nanjun near Nanyang can ensure the stability and safety of Nanyang!"
"Just like this time, General Zhennan not only immediately noticed Zhao Ci's rebellion, but also promptly submitted a request to His Majesty;"
"After His Majesty issued the decree, he quickly annihilated Zhao Ci's rebellion with lightning speed;"
"It has well maintained the stability of Nanyang and even Jiangxia;"
"Your Majesty doesn’t need to worry about it at all;"
"Is there anything more reassuring to Your Majesty than this?
Liu Hong listened and nodded repeatedly:"Indeed!""
So! Even though Liu Hong had a grudge against Su Xuan because of Su Xuan's marriage to the Xun family before.
Because Su Xuan was too powerful, he was afraid of Su Xuan; this time Su Xuan did things well, Liu Hong still moved him. He was thinking of transferring to Luoyang to take up the post.
He was really doing things so well!
Zhang Rang saw this and then analyzed:"And transferring General Zhennan to Luoyang not only caused His Majesty to lose the barrier to the south to maintain stability in Nanyang;"
"It will also weaken His Majesty’s control over Nanyang and Jingzhou;"
"At the same time, His Majesty will also lose the helper who can restrain the General He Jin;"
"Moreover, General Zhennan can play such a good role in the local area because he has relatively few restrictions in the local area;"
"Those nobles were afraid of the military power in his hands and did not dare to target him too much;"
"It wouldn't be necessary if he were transferred to Luoyang!"
"He is still so young, and when the time comes, he will inevitably arouse the fear and targeting of General He Jin and the Yuan family and other noble families;"
"Based on these people's basic connections in the court, General Zhennan is probably no match for them;"
"You can't get what your Majesty wants at all!"
"Instead of doing this, it is better to let him stay in Nanjun and become your majesty's southern barrier and the sea-fixing needle. What do you think, your majesty?"
"Um!
Emperor Liu Hong listened and nodded seriously:"Father is right!" Indeed!"
"It seems that it is not yet time to transfer General Zhennan to serve as an official in the court;"
"He should continue to stay in Nan County!"
"Since he cannot be promoted to civilian positions, he can only be promoted to military positions and titles."
"Let’s promote him to the rank of General Conquering the South, Marquis of Jiangling County, and have 8,000 households in the city!"
This reward is already quite high.
"Your majesty is wise!"
Zhang Rang immediately saluted and flattered Liu Hong.
Liu Hong couldn't help laughing.
The next morning, Liu Hong directly asked Zhang Rang to read in court Zhennan General Su Xuan put down Zhao Ci's rebellion and regained Nanyang. and Jiangxia.
Then he announced:"General Zhennan's meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion has won my heart. I summoned General Zhennan Su Xuan and promoted him to General Zhengnan. He was granted the title of Marquis of Jiangling and granted 8,000 households in the town.""
"hiss!"
After listening to the officials below, many of them took a breath of air-conditioning.
Not only were they promoted to the title of General of the Southern Conquest, but they were also granted the title of County Marquis. The number of people living in the city reached an astonishing 8,000 households.
This was only the number before the reduction of titles. Huangfu Song was slightly better than Su Xuan.
But now Huangfu Song is no longer a county prince, but a provincial prince, and there are only 3,000 households left. He is far from being able to compare with Su Xuan.
Sure enough, this Su Xuan's holy family At court!
After hearing this, Yuan Feng and others did not stand up to object.
Because it was meaningless, this reward was not excessive, and it would not affect the interests of their Yuan family. He
Jin, on the other hand, had a gloomy look on his face.
Because, this meant, Su Xuan's status in the army was higher.
He felt a stronger threat.
But unfortunately, Su Xuan was in the local area, and he could not do anything to him. He could only sulk in his heart.
At this time, Liu Hong spoke again:"The former Nanyang Prefect, Qin Jie, was a waste and was killed by Zhao Ci. The Nanyang Prefect was vacated. Who do you think is suitable to be the new Nanyang Prefect?"
He wanted to make the appointment himself, but it was estimated that Yuan Feng and others would definitely object.
Therefore, Liu Hong didn't mention it at all and just asked.
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, the people below started talking.
Most people looked at it. Yuan Feng.
Yuan Feng also stood up and recommended without hesitation:"Don't avoid relatives when promoting talents. I think that Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai, and Yuan Benchu, have made great achievements when they were in office. I recommend Yuan Shao to be the new governor of Nanyang."" ps: The new book is on the shelves, please order first, customize it, and support us!
