At that time, his father Guo Xiaoke was also a general with great military exploits and made great military exploits for the Tang Dynasty.
But later, due to a rebellion in the Western Regions, Guo Xiaoke was attacked by the rebels. Although he fought until the last moment and fought to the death with his eldest son Guo Daizhao, he did not receive the honor he deserved after his death.
News of Guo Xiaoke's death in battle reached Chang'an. Taizong, who had always been known for his wisdom and martial prowess, instead of rewarding him, deprived him of all official positions. He even said in private: The reason why this man died in battle was purely It is self-inflicted and death is not a pity!
Merits must be rewarded and demerits must be punished. This is the belief that Emperor Taizong has adhered to throughout his life. Therefore, he said that Guo Xiaoke's death was self-inflicted, so he must have been self-inflicted.
If someone else humiliated Guo Daifeng like Yun Chu, Guo Daifeng would have gone crazy and would definitely look for every opportunity to kill this person.
Yunchu was different. He came from the Western Regions, from Qiuci City. It could even be said that the reason why Yunchu encountered such a tragic siege was inseparable from Guo Xiaoke, the first-generation Western Region Protector of the Tang Dynasty.
If he had obeyed the command of the coach Ashina Sher and followed the army to pursue the Western Turks rebels, there would have been no tragedy in Qiuci City, and Ashina Sher's expedition against the Western Turks would not have been abandoned halfway.
This made the four towns in the Western Regions full of chaos, and Ashina Helu would not betray the Tang Dynasty again. More importantly, because Guo Xiaoke and his son died in battle, officials in the Western Regions did not have any promotions for five years.
However, all the soldiers who returned from the Western Regions had resentments towards Guo Xiaoke and his son, which could not be eliminated.
This is the reason why after Guo Daifeng was humiliated by Yun Chu, he only wanted to endure the humiliation in shame, but could not bear the desire for revenge.
What Guo Daifeng has to do now is to restore the glory of his Guo family as Yangzhai County Duke as soon as possible, rather than asking for some money for his subordinates.
Ever since Yun Chu had figured out his goal, and had proven his ability, he didn't have much interest in fighting.
As he said to Guo Daifeng, he is not only the general of his soldiers, but also their parent officer.
Among these two positions, Yun Chu would definitely prefer the official position of his parents. Since he is the official of his parents, his ideas are very different from those of the generals. Military achievements do not matter to him. The soldiers destroyed the Mohe tribe, and now Lian Kegai The four cities of Mou, Jian'an, Yincheng, and Beifeng have almost enough military achievements. No matter how high the merits are, they belong to the martyrs. It is too difficult for a living person to obtain them. Therefore, the soldiers are not too enthusiastic about military achievements. .
Under this situation, it is naturally the best policy to gain more benefits. After all, if you come to Goguryeo, the bitter cold land, with your own armor and stomach, isn't it just to gain more gains?
When Guo Daifeng and his unwilling subordinates exited Beifeng City, Yun Chu opened his arms and said to the soldiers around him: "Before sunset, this city belongs to us! Thank you, general."
The subordinates were in a good mood when they saw that the general had driven Guo Daifeng away. They responded and started their own journey to make a fortune under the leadership of Yang Jing and the Wang brothers.
After listening to Guo Daifeng's narration, Gao Kan sighed slightly and said to Guo Daifeng: "How can the soldiers fight continuously when their hands are empty?"
Guo Daifeng said: "I will be rewarded for my military merits."
Gao Kan whispered: "Since there are such benefits, why did Yun Chu not want it but give it all to you?"
Guo Daifeng said: "He is a civilian official, and his military achievements are useless."
Gao Kan sat behind the table, rubbed his eyebrows with his hands and said, "Are you saying that Yun Chu doesn't like to be made a marquis immediately?"
Guo Daifeng said: "The general wants to accumulate more military merits."
Gao Kan put down his hand helplessly, clacked the table with his knuckles and said: "For a general, the soldiers under his hands are the basis of your words. Now our war has just begun, and there are still no tough battles over the Yalu River. What happens? At this moment, you have squandered all your troops and horses to Yalushui. How do you deal with it? If you don't have enough troops, you will only be trained as a deputy general in someone else's army. What can a deputy general do? What about the incredible achievements?"
Guo Daifeng was a little panicked and said quickly: "Yunchu lied to me."
Gao Kan let out a long sigh and said: "What did he lie to you? You captured Gao Yong, the lord of Beifeng City, and he also sent you a piece of news that can make you meritorious. Both of these are not fake, right?"
Hearing what Gao Kan said, Guo Daifeng gritted his teeth and said: "In that case, let the last general ambush the reinforcements in Shicheng. Next time, after breaking Shicheng, I will not treat the soldiers badly."
After listening to Guo Daifeng's words, Gao Kan remembered what happened when he and Guo Xiaoke fought against Xue Ju together, and whispered: "That's fine, I will find someone to help you share the burden this time."
Guo Daifeng said quickly: "No Yun Chu!" Gao Kan spread his hands and said helplessly: "He will not take the initiative to ask for help."
Hearing this, Guo Daifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, as long as Yun Chu was around, he was under great pressure.
... Of course Yunchu would not take the initiative to ask for help, and would not go if there were any benefits, because just Beifeng City would make his baggage camp bigger than the boss.
I have to say that Jin Dacheng is really a good talent, especially when it comes to robbing people. Not only does he do it with great success, but he is also incredibly efficient. With Yang Jing and the three Wang brothers, he quickly They got into a fight.
When Yunchu's army left Beifeng City, Gao Kan had nothing but a full granary.
When Yun Chu returned to the military tent, he saw that Wen Rou was constantly planning something. When he took a closer look, he discovered that he was cleaning up the financial accounts of Yun Chu's department.
Seeing that Yunchu was back, Wen Wenwen put down her plan and said, "I asked Liu Rengui before. The navy will have three Menggui ships returning to Youzhou in the near future. They will then take the envoy Jia Chunyan back to Youzhou, and then take the river boat to take the canal from Youzhou. Straight to Luoyang, and finally to Chang'an by water. Therefore, I think it is necessary to make a book of our harvest and distribute it to the soldiers, and then the Wannian County household Cao will distribute it to every soldier's home. What do you think?"
Yun Chu said: "This is good, the army can advance lightly, and the soldiers will regain the motivation to fight."
At night, Yun Chu's entire army sat in the dark in the field. Only the general and Chang Shi had a fire in front of them, illuminating their faces in an eerie light.
The roll call starts from one regiment to another. Whenever the captain calls out a person's name, the soldier will come to the general or long history tremblingly.
"Chen Youyi, right?"
"My subordinate is here. @_...j_h_s_s_d_c_o_mFirst. Issue. Update. Update~~"
"Well, let me see what you captured. A fox fur collar, two wolf skin robes, and a copper pot. Not bad, not bad. Hey, there are also seven sheepskins. These should be the harvests from the Mohe hunt, huh? What's going on when a woman wears two different clothes? Are you fucking bullying a woman?"
"General, no, these two sets of clothes were found by my subordinates when they were searching the city lord's mansion in Yincheng. They did not bully women."
Yun Chu picked up the pen, added the number of eleven hundred copper coins after his name, and cursed: "Go to hell, if you get sick all over again and your wife and children won't recognize you, then go to the county government office again." Cry and tell me, if I don’t beat you to death, your military achievements will be worth 1,100 copper coins. Put your fingerprints here, and then I will find someone to send the things to your home."
Xiao Bing didn't know how to read, but he still read the account books very carefully and pressed his fingerprints, as if he could understand them. Yun Chu wanted to kick him. "Sanyu Niu" was called out one after another, and one soldier after another came to the Chang Shi or the general, walking through the same process, pressing the same handprints, and receiving the same scoldings.
Originally there was no need for such a one-on-one confrontation, but Yun Chu thought it was very necessary, because this thing is called a ritual. This thing is perfect for uniting people's hearts.
For the soldiers, it felt good to divide the spoils.
It feels even better to be able to share the spoils with the general, county magistrate, chief historian, and censor.
It doesn't matter if you can't understand what's on the account book. The county magistrate and the chief minister don't care about millions of dollars, so naturally they won't be greedy for this little thing of their own.
Originally, the soldiers could go back to their tents to sleep after their names were called, but no one left. They just sat in the dark field and blew the cold wind, watching the county magistrate and the chief minister distribute things to other brothers. Even the people who whispered No.
This process is very long, starting from dark and not ending until the east gradually becomes white.
Yun Chu stood up, stretched out his waist, and said lazily: "Actually, there is still a lot of surplus from the boss, but I don't want the brothers to get this pile of surplus, because the rest is pension. Those who died in the battle can share it. I plan to exchange the eight pieces of money for a calf. If you die, the calf will be raised for two years and it will be able to plow the fields for your wife and children instead of you. Anyway, you can't work as well as a cow, right? "
"Hehe, the general looks down on his subordinates. Not only can the young ones plow the fields, they can also do well in bed."
"Hahahaha...fuck you. When you die in the battle, I will send the cow to your wife's bed. Shut your mouth and listen."
"If you're missing a leg, I'll pay six guan for the same price. I'll give it to you in exchange for a small draft horse that can pull you around."
"The person with the missing arm only has four dollars to buy a donkey. He probably won't be able to get a wife, and he will have to live with the donkey from now on..."
"If...I said if...you all follow me and finish this battle well and go home alive, we will divide all the money according to the head, and not keep a penny. And we will take you there. Jinchangfang is famous for its big meat noodles, beef noodles, meat cakes, braised pork, lion heads, braised pork slices as thick as a finger and as big as a palm, large pieces of soy beef, and buckets of donkey banquets. Intestine. Watch the first part of the show where you dance naked, dive into the water, and shake your belly. When I feel happy, I might treat you to a drink of anti-toxic medicine..."
"We people in Wannian County don't like to fight. The good times at home have just begun. The cotton in the fields is already harvesting. When sold to cotton spinning workshops, we will get a lot of money and a lot of food. But, what are we doing? You have traveled thousands of miles to fight, and many of your brothers have been harmed and cannot return home intact. They can only be burned into ashes and taken back. What is all this for?"
"Actually, we are not here for money. We can make money at home. What we want is not to let others disturb us to live a good life. What we want is to bring back the bones of the people who died here. What we want is to let others All the bastards have seen that I am not someone you can afford to offend. If you dare to offend me, I will kill you all without leaving a blade of grass behind..."
"Leave no blade of grass, leave no blade of grass..."
When nearly four thousand people roared together without leaving any grass behind, even Gao Kan, who was in the Chinese military tent, could hear it clearly.
He thought there was a camp roar, so he stood up and asked hastily: "Where is the noise?"
The people on the left and right hurriedly reported: "General Yun Chu of Dingyuan is training the sergeants."
