Rewards for military merit are not arbitrary. If you want soldiers to bravely kill the enemy, rewards and punishments must be clearly stated.
Since a new amount of silver reward has been set at this moment, it must be distributed immediately.
Gao Kan simply asked the supervising military document general to come up with the details of rewards and punishments, and made changes and modifications on the spot. After completion, he asked people to distribute it and pass it on.
As soon as the necessary things were done, the inventory was started according to the new details, and the rewards were collected by name.
All the soldiers were holding white silver in their hands, and they were all very happy.
There were so many people and horses that it was impossible to finish the meal in a short while. Gao Kan looked at the sky and the time and continued to make fire. At the same time, he asked people to kill pigs and sheep, and took out fine wine to reward the three armies.
After the silver rewards were distributed, it was time to eat. All the soldiers organized themselves into groups and started eating on the spot.
Between the lights, the entire venue was filled with laughter and laughter.
At first, Cao Qi wanted to invite Gao Kan to have a meal in the inner hall, and then ask the military attachés from various departments to accompany him, instead of having to go with the ordinary soldiers outside.
Gao Kan refused the kindness and just had fun with the troops in the square.
After drinking for three rounds, Cao Qi took the wine bowl in his hand, walked up to the front and shouted loudly: "Brothers are here, come with me and thank the young master for your gift."
After hearing this, all the troops stood up and raised their wine bowls to face the high ridge on the stage.
Gao Kan also picked up the wine bowl and stood up, facing the soldiers and said: "It's my turn to thank you brothers, come on, let's all have a bowl together!"
"Thank you, Master!" All the troops said in unison.
After thanking him, he continued eating and drinking.
Cao Qi also led the military attachés and leaders of his ministries to line up to pay homage to Gaokan.
These guys are all men in the military. Gaokan is no match for them. After just a few drinks, they feel like they can't stand it any longer.
He quickly stopped and said: "Brothers, please wait a moment. I don't have enough drinking capacity. I'm afraid I won't be able to drink anymore. It will be a spoiler. Let's eat the last bowl together. After eating, you can continue, and I will go back." Lying down."
When everyone heard this, they all laughed heartily.
Gao Kan was not hesitant, he raised his head and drank a bowl of wine in his hand, pointing the bottom of the bowl towards everyone.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly drank together. Gao Kan waved to Cao Qi and said, "General Cao, I have to trouble you to accompany your brothers."
"The last general takes orders." Cao Qi hurriedly answered with his fists clasped.
Then Gao Kan called Yang Zhi again and whispered: "Teacher Yang, my feet are not working properly. I need to trouble you to send me to rest."
"It's Young Master." Yang Zhi said nothing and helped Gao Kan leave.
Gao Kan was not cheating, he really couldn't drink anymore, so he asked Yang Zhi to help him rest, and the trip lasted a day and a night.
When he woke up again, it was already the evening of the next day. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yang Zhi waiting by the bed. He was startled and got up quickly.
When Yang Zhi saw him waking up, he hurriedly asked someone to bring hot water and said, "Sir, are you okay?"
"Fortunately, thanks to the hard work, Coach Yang is still watching over me."
While rubbing his temples, Gao Kan sat up straight and said.
"It's something that should be within the scope of my subordinates." Yang Zhi replied.
He was originally Gao Kan's personal bodyguard, but he had been in a lot of trouble recently, so he was often not around.
At present, they were temporarily settled in Donglin Village. Gaokan was drunk and lay there all day and all night. He couldn't help but stay by his side.
After washing his face, Gao Kan felt better and asked again: "How is the situation in the stronghold? Are all the troops in place?"
"Young master, after the master rewarded the three armies on the first night of entering the stronghold, all the troops and horses were arranged the next day." Yang Zhi replied.
"That's good. Is there any letter from the court?" Gao Kan nodded slightly and asked again.
In fact, he was ambushed and killed by the Jin Army's cavalry, and the eastern and western strongholds were all in his hands. The only threat nearby was Lingshou.
However, most of Lingshou's soldiers and horses asked Cao Qi to obey Lin Chong's orders and were transferred away. There were not many soldiers and horses left in the city.
On the contrary, after the Zhending Mansion ordered the Jin Army to surrender, they sent more troops to fill in. However, those troops would not dare to leave the city easily and attack Donglin Mountain Stronghold.
So in fact, the village should be very stable.
Despite this, Gaokan still acted cautiously and always put everything in order.
Yang Zhi listened to the inquiry and replied: "No one has come to report it yet, but the young master first destroyed the gold thieves and then conquered the rebel city. With such great achievements, he should be appointed sooner or later."
"It's better to make more calculations." Gao Kan thought for a moment and said.
It is said that there is no one in Zhending Mansion at the moment. Tong Guan also asked Wanyan Zonghan in Taiyuan Mansion to threaten him at all times. There should be no delay. The appointment letter from the imperial court should be sent as soon as possible.
But if you don't get it for a day, there is always the possibility of something changing.
When the moment didn't come, I was thinking about whether to add another bargaining chip.
The Jin army entered Zhending Mansion, marched southward, and attacked the city. The entire territory north of the Mansion fell, except for the areas south of Luan City and a few places on its left and right sides.
Originally, Gaokan was calculating and waiting for the appointment from the imperial court before he would send out troops. He would first take the life and longevity, and then make plans to establish the palace.
Now that the appointment from the imperial court had not come as soon as possible, I thought it would be better to ignore the appointment and attack Lingshou as planned.
While he was thinking about it, he saw Lin Chong hurriedly coming in from outside. The sound came before the person arrived.
"Brother Yang, have you woken up? Someone came from the north to report, and there are Jin troops coming from Lingqiu and heading south to Zhending Mansion!"
When the words fell, Lin Chongren also entered the house.
Seeing Gao Kan sitting by the bed, he had just washed his face and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I pay my respects to the young master."
"No need to be polite, who is here to report the message?" Gao Kan waved his hand and asked, taking the secret report from Lin Chong's hand.
"The person who came said that he was in the name of Commander Wu. After asking clearly, my subordinates found out that they were sent by Junior Brother Wu Song!" Lin Chong said hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Gao Kan's expression darkened.
When he was still setting up at Bailing Village, he had expected that the Jin army would go all the way south, attack the city, and win consecutive battles. Many rebels would be separated along the way, so he asked Wu Song to take the token and collect the rebels along the way.
After all this time, there has been no reply, but I didn’t expect to receive it today.
While thinking about it in my heart, I opened the secret message in my hand and read it.
I saw what the letter said. Since Wu Song received the order from Gaokan, he went all the way north to gather the rebels. After a lot of effort, he has now gathered a lot of 5,000 troops. He is currently near Caogupu on the near left of Fuping.
In the first two days, when mobilizing manpower to gather the rebels, they accidentally discovered most of the Jin army, so they immediately sent people to investigate.
Finally, it was discovered that there were two or three meng'an of the Jin army heading south this time, totaling six to seven thousand people.
These troops were mainly thick-armored cavalry, combined with infantry and ordnance corps. They were large and powerful. Wu Song was worried that they were coming for Gaokan, so he immediately sent someone to find them to deliver a message.
Gao Kan frowned immediately after reading Wu Song's secret letter. Of course he was sure that these Jin soldiers were coming for him.
When Yan Bokang was released that day, one thing was that after he escaped, he would send a message to the Jin army as soon as possible and then send most of the troops to attack Zhending Mansion.
If the Jin army did not continue to attack, instead of asking Ruan Boqian, the prefect of Zhending Prefecture, who had fled earlier, to come back and continue to be his prefect, he would have to work hard and be constrained in the end.
As long as there are still a large number of Jin troops active in Zhending Mansion, it can be guaranteed that Ruan Boqian will not easily turn around.
The only thing I didn't expect was that the Jin army would come so quickly, and what I didn't expect was that so many soldiers and horses came at once.
