Following Gaokan's series of actions, crowds of people gradually began to flow on the streets of Zhending Mansion.
Gaokan opened the gates of the four cities of Zhending Mansion again, allowing people to travel inside and outside the city without hindrance. As if he wanted to restore peace and order to the world, even traveling merchants began to gradually enter the city of Zhending Mansion and start doing business. .
Seeing the gradual recovery of Zhending Mansion, Gao Kan gave up on his choice. It happened that Lu Zhishen also broke through Zhengding and brought all the people from Guojiazhuang back to Zhending Mansion.
All of a sudden, Gaokan had enough money and food again.
After all this hard work, ten days had passed since they entered the city, and more than half a month had passed since the battle of Huolu City.
The Jin army on the Xingtang side has not made any movements yet, which even makes Gao Kan doubt whether the main force of the Jin army is still in Xingtang city.
If it weren't for the scouts everywhere who were watching to confirm that there were not a large number of troops coming out of the city, he would have thought that the Jin army had already left the city and went somewhere.
Those are thousands of elite cavalry, and they are a huge threat no matter where they are placed.
So after a long pause, everything in Zhending Mansion gradually settled down, and Gaokan decided that it was time to organize the army and march to Tang Dynasty.
That morning, all the generals in General Gaokan summoned the prefect's Yamen to discuss matters.
Cao Qi was from Cigu Town, so it was Lin Chong's turn to be at the head of the queue. Sitting next to him was Lu Zhishen, and Yang Zhi was on the other side.
What follows next are mainly the commanders, commanders and the like that Cao Qi brought from Lingshou.
The only new addition was Xu Sheng, the original standing commander of the Xiang Army in Zhending Mansion.
Some of the eight thousand soldiers and horses under his command were lost when they strangled Deng Xuanhe and Guojiazhuang's men in Huolucheng. The rest were scattered and mixed into the army.
Xu Sheng himself knew his position. Although he was the standing commander of the Zhending Prefecture, in terms of his original status, even Cao Qi, the commander of the Lingshou Preparatory Commander, could not compare with him.
But at this time, he was still at the bottom of the queue, even worse than the commanders under Cao Qi.
Gao Kan glanced at it and roughly confirmed that everyone was here, and then he said: "Although you have gone through the battle to annihilate the Jin army in Bailing Village, regained the two villages in the east and west of Pingshan, and then recovered Lingshou, and then moved to the battle to win the victory. Lu, we have exterminated the rebellious bandits, and now we have returned to Zhending Mansion, and the army is all set."
"Originally, at this point, rewards should be based on merit. According to our original agreement, we should give money to those who deserve it, and give wives to those who deserve it."
Hearing the last half of the sentence, the generals in the hall couldn't help but let out bursts of wild laughter.
Gao Kan sat in the main seat and also laughed together. After a while, his expression darkened.
"However, the money has not been paid yet, and my wife has not been seen yet. We have been staying in Zhending Mansion for half a month without doing anything. I heard that some people have already left the house."
When the generals heard this, they laughed again, but they were much more restrained than before.
Gao Kan continued: "Why don't you give the guys money and wives? Am I stingy and want to default on the debt? Or is it because my pocket is cleaner than my face and I really can't pay it forward?"
The generals in the hall looked at Gaokan, but no one said a word.
Suddenly, Gao Kan stood up from his position and said in a deep voice: "No, I never default on anything that I, Gao Kan, accept, and I'm not afraid of letting my brothers know the truth. Now There are tens of millions of taels of silver lying in the treasury. Now we are also landlords and we can afford to make a fortune."
"The reason why we didn't pay out the money, didn't give rewards based on merit, and didn't ask everyone to go back and buy land, buy wives, and have sons is because our work is not over yet."
"Everyone present is a capable man, gentlemen. I won't say much else. It's just a few hundred miles away from Zhending Mansion. We have to be on top of our heads. Thousands of gold thieves are stationed in Xingtang." .”
"From Xingtang to the north, the territory of Zhending Mansion, the territory of our Song Dynasty, is still trampled by the golden thieves and horses."
"Let me ask you, can we soldiers watch our country, our hometown and elders being wantonly humiliated under the iron heel of the enemy, turn a blind eye, and go back to settle down and marry a wife with peace of mind?"
"I'm not forcing you to tie your head to the belt of your pants and fuck with me. If anyone is tired of fighting and wants to live in peace, he can go home and become a rich man and live a stable life. As I said just now, There are tens of millions of taels of snowflake-patterned silver lying in the treasury. You don't even need to come to me. You can go to the school inspection office to report your name, count your military merits, and come to me for any amount of money that should be paid. Taking the money that should be paid does not count. Wherever you want to go, I will pay the traveling expenses, sir, and you can go after the meeting is over."
After saying this, all the generals in the hall were red-faced and looked like their blood was boiling.
Gao Kan just looked at these people quietly, and after a long time he said: "It seems that you are all decent men and are willing to continue with me, then let's talk about the next trip."
"Xingtang, how to drive the golden dogs back to their hometown!"
Huo, the audience exploded on the spot as Gao Kan finished speaking.
These five powerful and powerful generals all had red faces and thick necks, and they wanted to be the vanguard and lead the troops to attack the Tang Dynasty.
Gao Kan waited for them to argue for a while before raising his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
"It seems that everyone is excited and want to take the lead, but we are different from those Tatar golden dogs who drink blood from their hair. We are taught by saints, have rules and etiquette, and have brains. We can't do it with bravery and bravery. "
"So, call the whole army, and I will make immediate adjustments."
"The original military and horse formations were all abolished, and the entire army was divided into four divisions, called the 'East, West, South, and North' Fourth Route Army. The divisions were divided into one section of the cavalry army, with a total of five troops and horses."
"Where is Lin Chong?"
"My subordinate is here!" After hearing Gao Kan's words, Lin Chong immediately stood up and stepped forward.
"I am ordering you, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, to lead eight thousand troops and march from Zhending Mansion to Lingshou. Can you accept the order?"
"General, take your orders!" Lin Chong responded immediately.
"Where is Yang Zhi?" Gao Kan shouted again.
"My subordinate is here!" Yang Zhi also stood up.
"First of all, I order you to be the commander of the cavalry army. You will lead 4,000 cavalry troops, together with heavy equipment and miscellaneous troops. The whole army will be divided into three groups, the forward, the middle army, and the rear. They will arrive at the Tang Dynasty in turn. Take strict precautions along the way until they get close. I am stationed in the outskirts of Xingtang, waiting for military orders, can you take the orders?"
"The last general takes command!"
Then Gao Kan looked at Lu Zhishen and said, "Where is Lu Da?"
"Sajia is here!" Lu Zhishen also stood up.
"I first order you to be the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army. You will lead six thousand troops. After the cavalry army, we will go to the Tang Dynasty to prepare for the attack. Can you accept the order?"
"Sajia...the last general takes command!" Lu Zhishen subconsciously thought of 'Sajia', but when he thought that he had become the commander-in-chief of the army, he quickly changed his mind.
After placing the third route army, Gao Kan suddenly looked at Xu Sheng, who was at the end of the crowd.
Xu Sheng didn't think that he could be involved in this. With the deployment of troops, it would be good for him to find a place to settle down. How could he dare to dream?
So when Gao Kan looked at him at this moment, he still lowered his head and couldn't notice it for a moment.
Until Gao Kan shouted: "Where is Xu Sheng?"
"The general is here!"
Subconsciously, Xu Sheng responded with a surprised look and stood up.
