With a "bang", the expensive vase fell to the ground and shattered.
Qi Gaozong's angry voice came from the palace.
"Reverse! Reverse!
"Prime Minister Qin, as you said, Han Fuyue has already had his objections!
"Twelve gold medals, he dared to refuse to obey the imperial edict!
"What does it mean to send back 70,000 troops and horses and a few estranged lieutenants? What does it mean to leave more than 30,000 elite men and all direct lieutenants for yourself!
"You still dare to issue a 'letter to the people of the world' and call yourself the 'Zhaoyi Army'!
"Does he still have the imperial court of Da Qi and my official family in his eyes?"
At this time, Qi Gaozong had received news from the north.
General Han Fuyue's behavior was obviously a serious provocation to his imperial power. At the same time, it almost completely confirmed Qin Huizhi's false accusation.
General Han Fuyue is not at the mercy of others as everyone thinks.
Qi Gaozong looked at Qin Huizhi: "Prime Minister Qin! What do you think we should do at this time!"
There was no worry on Qin Huizhi's face, but a look of joy that could not be concealed.
Didn't General Han Fuyue's move save him more trouble to find reasons?
In real history, after General Han Fuyue came back, Qin Huizhi searched for him in order to unjustly kill him, but he couldn't find any evidence of crime, so he finally killed him unjustly on "unfounded" charges.
But now, there is no need to make excuses. Qin Huizhi has enough reasons just to refuse the order.
"The officials have reached this point, how can they be hesitant?
"Han Fuyue is already planning to rebel. The peace agreement between our government and the Jin people is about to be completed. As long as we order other generals to surround and kill the Jin people together, once the peace agreement is completed, it will be a good time to suppress the rebellion and block the long-term invasion of the world. mouth.
"Isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?"
Qi Gaozong's face was gloomy and uncertain. Obviously, he did not expect that General Han Fuyue would not come back.
However, Qin Huizhi's words did not completely convince him.
At this moment, the third person present spoke.
"Officials, I think it's not allowed."
Qin Huizhi's face instantly darkened and he looked at the minister beside him.
This person's name is Zhang Deyuan, and he served as prime minister in the court five years ago. Later, because of Qin Huizhi's rise to power and some of his own mistakes, he was demoted to Yongzhou.
Now, with the continuous changes in the situation in the Song and Jin Dynasties, he finally returned to the court, serving as the tutor of the school, the military governor of Chongxin, etc., and was named the Duke of Heguo.
Of course, although Zhang Deyuan served as Prime Minister under Gaozong, his power at this time was far less than that of Qin Huizhi.
The reason why he was summoned by Gaozong this time was because he was an old acquaintance with General Han Fuyue. As a civil servant, he knew some military affairs, so Qi Gaozong also wanted to hear his opinion.
We can't let Qin Hui decide such a big thing with just one word.
When it comes to Zhang Deyuan, there is a comment from people at the time: He has a very short talent. Although his righteousness is very clear, he is completely ignorant.
In short, it can be said that apart from having some sense of justice and being ostracized by Qin Huizhi for repeatedly petitioning to resist the Jin Dynasty, it can be said that he is an official with poor political and military abilities.
Of course, no matter what, in this court at this time, "knowing some righteousness" is already a very rare quality.
Qin Huizhi said coldly: "Mr. Wei, is it possible that at this time, you still have to cover up for those rebellious ministers and traitors?"
As expected of a traitor, this big hat was immediately slapped on his face.
Qi Gaozong wanted to hear Zhang Deyuan's side of the story, so he waved his hand and interrupted Qin Huizhi: "Zhang Qing, tell me your opinion."
Zhang Deyuan said: “You must not be impatient about this matter.
"Although General Han refused to obey the imperial edict, changed the name of his army to Zhaoyi Army, and issued a 'Letter to the People of the World', after all...he hasn't rebelled yet, hasn't he?
"What if the officials raise troops to attack and really force him to rebel?"
Qin Huizhi snorted coldly: "It turns out that Duke Wei is as afraid of enemies as a tiger!
"When our troops come to the border, we will have Han Fuyue bound to the court for questioning! If he doesn't listen, the heavenly soldiers will immediately crush him and put him down! Why are you worried about forcing him to rebel?"
Obviously, Qin Huizhi didn't want to wait a second longer.
Zhang Deyuan looked at him as if he was a fool: "Oh, then may I ask Prime Minister Qin, who do you plan to let to suppress General Han Fuyue?"
Qin Huizhi was stunned for a moment: "This..."
There was an awkward silence for a moment.
This question really stupefied Qin Huizhi.
Although he is the prime minister of the dynasty, he is not familiar with any of these generals!
Comparatively speaking, General Han Fuyue is already considered to have a relatively high emotional intelligence and gives him more face. The other generals didn't necessarily scold him behind his back.
Of course, since he was the ruler of the dynasty, he could have asked the emperor to order these generals to fight.
But the problem is that these generals have more or less good relations with General Han Fuyue...
Who to send?
The reason why the emperor asked these people to withdraw immediately was because, under Qin Huizhi's instigation and instigation, he no longer trusted these generals who were leading the troops outside. You don't even trust people like General Han Fuyue, let alone other generals?
So, since they are no longer trusted, let them go and suppress General Han Fuyue...
Wouldn't this turn into a meat bun beating a dog and never come back?
What if these generals were also instigated by General Han Fuyue to rebel?
Well, maybe you can fight those people who have a bad relationship with General Han Fuyue, but the problem is that such people are generally useless. Even if you fight, they will probably be delivering food to General Han Fuyue...
If you have a good relationship with General Han, you won't dare to send him there; if you don't have a good relationship with General Han, you won't be able to win if you send him there.
this……
Qi Gaozong obviously figured this out, and his face instantly turned pale.
He found that after General Han Fuyue, who had always been docile and obedient, suddenly showed his claws and refused to obey the order, he seemed... to have no good solution!
"In Zhang Qing's opinion, what should we do?" Qi Gaozong asked.
Zhang Deyuan said: "I believe that General Han did not really want to rebel. The reason why he refused to obey the imperial edict was that he was dissatisfied with the official order to summon him back and wanted to stay and continue to fight against the Jin Dynasty.
"When the officials read his 'Letter to the People,' they also expressed deep hatred for the Jin people every word of it.
"So, the wisest way at this time is to quietly cut off his food, grass and baggage. Neither encirclement nor provocation, just deal with this matter coldly.
"As for the conditions of the Jin people, I believe that General Han cannot be killed to seek peace."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Huizhi almost jumped up.
"How unreasonable! How dare you speak out about such a policy that harms the country!
"Are you going to give all generals a good start?
"Han Fuyue refused to obey the edict, but the officials did not show any expression and acquiesced? Then why did the other generals return to Beijing?
"If this continues, won't it mean that the generals leading troops outside can ignore official edicts and gold medals? You are trying to dig up the foundation of my Qi Dynasty!
"Guan Jia, you must not listen to his nonsense! Han Fuyue must die. This is to scare the monkeys! Other generals who are commanding troops outside are also watching the officials' handling of this matter. If the officials really don't If you don’t listen and don’t ask, the world will be in chaos immediately!”
Zhang Deyuan also refused to give in: "Is what Prime Minister Qin said a strategy to save the country?
"Guan, please think about it carefully. General Han Fuyue has always been your confidant and favorite general. His loyalty to you is not only seen by the generals, but also by the people of the world!
"General Han is not plotting rebellion at this time. If the official family really sends other generals to encircle and suppress the army without any nostalgia for the past, what will the other generals who are leading the troops think?
"After all, General Han contributed to the Qi Dynasty, so he killed them like this. Wouldn't these generals put everyone in danger and alienate the officials?
"At that time, the whole country will rebel, and our country, Qi Dynasty, will be shaken immediately!"
The two of them spoke to each other without giving in to each other.
Qi Gaozong felt his head was as big as a bucket when he heard it, and it was difficult to make a decision.
According to the original true history, General Han Fuyue returned to the court without saying a word, so Qi Gaozong and Qin Huizhi found out that they could manipulate him at will.
To deal with an obedient person, no matter how strong he is, he can always find a way.
Therefore, it is not difficult at all to demote an official if you want to demote him, or to kill someone unjustly if you want to.
But now, General Han Fuyue suddenly put on a posture of disobedience, and the two men were at a loss.
In fact, what Qin Huizhi and Zhang Deyuan said made sense.
The special status of General Han Fuyue determines that no matter whether the court suppresses it or not, there will be serious problems!
If you suppress it, the generals in the world will be disappointed; if you don't suppress it, the generals in the world will dare to refuse orders in the future!
What's more, can we definitely win the suppression?
If we fail to win, the consequences will be even more serious.
By then, the situation may become out of control.
"Okay!" Qi Gaozong said angrily, "The methods of the two dear friends are not feasible! Think about it again and see if there is any other way!"
He turned around anxiously twice: "What happened to Han Fuyue is extremely bad! If he cannot serve as a warning to others, what will those generals who return to the court think? Even if he does not die, he must find a way to send him to the capital and face trial in court!
"But it is really inappropriate to send other generals to conquer. Not to mention whether these troops will be persuaded by Han Fuyue to mutiny. If we lose, what will the people of the world think of me? The peace talks we have just reached with the Jin people , wouldn’t it be destroyed in one day!”
Qi Gaozong did not dare to fight.
Because he knew that even if the other generals were tied together, they would not be Han Fuyue's opponent.
Of course, considering that the imperial court can run out of food and concentrate its superior forces on the attack, it does have some chance of winning.
But the question is, what if you lose?
Seeing such infighting in the Qi Dynasty, the people's hearts may collapse instantly, and the resentment among them must be mostly towards the emperor. After all, this incident originally occurred because the emperor wanted to withdraw his troops for no apparent reason.
The matter of withdrawing troops has caused resentment among the people all over the world.
And losing this battle is equivalent to exposing his underwear to the golden man. When the Jin people saw that everyone except General Han Fuyue was so vulnerable, wouldn't they have to open their mouths further during the peace negotiation?
It is even possible to stop negotiating peace and then turn around and come back!
That was also a situation that Qi Gaozong, who was obsessed with seeking peace and peace, could never accept.
Zhang Deyuan said: "The officials and ministers have another plan.
"It's better to withdraw Cheng's orders and let all the generals go back and continue to attack the Jin people. After the Jin people are completely driven back to Yanyun and the counties in Hebei and Hedong are recovered, we can go back to deal with General Han's affairs."
Qi Gaozong's face turned dark instantly: "Zhang Qing, do you think I am as easy to fool as a three-year-old child?
"I have already issued an order to retreat, how can I change it overnight? Where is the emperor's majesty?
"What's more, Han Fuyue has rebelled. Not only does he not want to solve it, but he continues to give him military power? And continues to let him attack the counties in Hedong and Hebei? I'm afraid that after he defeats the Jin people, the next step will be to wear a yellow robe. !”
Zhang Deyuan sighed silently.
Sure enough, if the official was willing to take back his life now, then he would not have thought about retreating in the first place.
No solution.
Qin Huizhi rolled his eyes and said: "The official family, I have a plan.
"The soldiers of the imperial court must not be moved lightly.
"Firstly, all the generals are ready to return to Beijing to report their duties, and this order cannot be changed. Secondly, if we lose the battle, it will be equivalent to showing cowardice to the Jin people, and then the peace negotiation advantages gained by our successive great victories will be lost." Nothing left.
"Therefore, the order to recall the generals remains unchanged, and the army is only stationed and waiting to see what happens.
"As for Han Fuyue...it should be left to the Jin people to solve it."
Qi Gaozong's eyes lit up: "Oh? Leave it to the Jin people to solve it?"
Qin Huizhi nodded: "That's right!
"At this time, all the generals have evacuated, but Han Fuyue's Zhaoyi army has gone deep into dangerous areas and may be surrounded by the Jin at any time.
"The Jin people hated him even more, and wanted to kill him immediately.
"We just need to sit back and watch, sooner or later this lonely army will be destroyed at the hands of the Jin people.
"When Han Fuyue dies, our government will not only meet the conditions negotiated by the Jin and eliminate the rebels without spending a single soldier. But the armies have not moved, and the Jin will not be able to find out our details, so they will certainly not dare to Recurrence of trouble.
"Isn't this peace negotiation done?"
Qi Gaozong's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard this: "Okay! Okay!
"Prime Minister Qin's plan is the best strategy! In this case, just follow Prime Minister Qin's wishes!"
Qin Huizhi smiled slightly: "Officials, wait a minute, this plan is not perfect yet.
"Han Fuyue is indeed unique in leading troops. At this time, the Jin people are intimidated by his reputation. They may be suspicious of fraud and dare not attack with confidence.
"So, although our army cannot move lightly, it is still necessary to show off with a partial army.
"This move can further suppress the morale of Zhaoyi's army and put Han Fuyue into a situation where everyone is betrayed and separated from his relatives. Secondly, it can also block the retreat, so that when Han Fuyue is surrounded by Jin soldiers, he will not be able to dodge or move elsewhere. .”
Qi Gaozong nodded after hearing this: "Well, that makes sense.
"But who should lead this partial army? Does Prime Minister Qin have a candidate?"
Both of them obviously knew that most of the famous anti-gold generals who had achieved great victories at this time were no longer usable.
Because most of these people had a good relationship with General Han Fuyue, and Gaozong did not trust them, so asking them to attack Han Fuyue was too much of a threat.
You still have to find someone you can absolutely trust.
Of course, such a person's combat effectiveness will definitely not be too strong. But this time it was originally about killing people with a borrowed knife. The real ones who went to fight General Han Fuyue were the Jin people. The Qi Dynasty just sent a partial army to block General Han Fuyue's retreat. There was no need to go out to fight. They just stationed troops and watched silently. Just leave it on.
In this way, an ordinary general is enough to do the job.
Qin Huizhi said: "Tian Shizhong can take on this important task. Let him lead 30,000 troops and horses, which is enough."
Qi Gaozong immediately decided: "Okay, just follow what Prime Minister Qin said!"
…
In the Jin Bing tent.
Wan Yansheng looked at the secret message in his hand, his face uncertain.
Next to him was Wan Yanxian, the second most powerful figure among the Jin soldiers after Wan Yan Sheng, also known as King Gaitian.
In the Battle of Yancheng, Wanyan Xiance and Wanyan Sheng jointly invaded Yancheng and wanted to behead General Han Fuyue's headquarters in one fell swoop. However, General Han Fuyue counterattacked with less victory and more, killing both of them. The nest is over.
Therefore, when it comes to hyophobia, the eldest brother of the two, not to mention the second brother, is almost the same.
But the secret letter in his hand at this time changed the situation greatly.
Wan Yansheng handed the secret letter to Wan Yanxian: "This is the secret letter from Qin Huizhi, asking us to kill Han Fuyue, and he will send a partial force to support us and attack us from both front and rear. What do you think... …Is this credible?”
Wan Yanxian looked at the contents of the secret message and remained silent, unable to give a very precise answer for a while.
During this period of time, the mood of Jin people can be said to be ups and downs.
First, Yancheng, Zhuxian Town and other places were defeated by General Han Fuyue one after another. Then the situation on other battlefields also deteriorated sharply. Reports of disastrous defeats were frequently reported from the Jin soldiers in various places.
The entire Jin Kingdom's rule north of the Yellow River has also become precarious. Rebels have risen in various places. The Jin people want to draw troops to support the front line, but these places simply ignore it.
Even the Jin people have made plans to withdraw from Yanyun and completely abandon the Qidi they have swallowed over the years.
Wan Yansheng also had to admit that maybe Wan Yanchang, who he had just killed in the coup not long ago, was right.
Once the Qi Dynasty's war potential is tapped out, it will indeed be terrifying!
Wanyan Sheng also couldn't figure out why during the Jingping Incident, the Jin people marched southward with overwhelming force, and all the Qi troops were as vulnerable as chickens and dogs. But a few years later, a man from the Qi Dynasty suddenly appeared. General Han Fuyue, the entire military strength has skyrocketed?
Wanyan Sheng was still the same Wanyan Sheng as during the Jingping Incident, but the Qi Dynasty's army was no longer the same as it was then.
This disastrous defeat made Wanyan Sheng feel disheartened and he didn't know how to explain to the DPRK.
But at this moment, a huge pie fell from the sky.
The Qi Dynasty actually wanted to withdraw its troops and negotiate peace!
To Wan Yansheng, this was simply an incredible thing.
If Wan Yansheng was the emperor of the Qi Dynasty at this time, of course he would have to go on a personal expedition with General Han Fuyue and push him to the capital of the Jin Dynasty before he could give up. Even if the Jin people can't be wiped out, why should they make an alliance under the city to get enough benefits?
As a result, the emperor of Qi Dynasty was actually satisfied with this?
It's incredible.
But no matter what, although this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing cannot be expected in advance, it can be enjoyed afterwards.
Therefore, Wan Yansheng was well versed in the psychology of negotiation. When discussing the terms of peace, he insisted that General Han Fuyue must be killed before a collegial agreement could be established!
This is actually just a very ordinary asking price.
The Jin people have always been like this in the negotiation process. During the Jingping Incident, the lion asked for all kinds of money and food, or he kept adding more money like slowly tightening the noose, which are all manifestations of this kind of negotiation thinking.
If the other party is a sane person, he should fight and pay back the money at the same time, and finally strive for a result acceptable to both parties.
In fact, Wan Yansheng didn't think such a sky-high asking price could succeed.
As a result, the Qi Dynasty really planned to kill General Han Fuyue?
When he discovered that Qi Chao's ideas were somewhat relaxed and that this clause was really possible, Wan Yansheng was even more determined to insist that Han Fuyue must be killed.
If things go by normal circumstances, General Han Fuyue will definitely return to the court with his troops, and then Qin Huizhi and the emperor will find a way to kill him unjustly, and after giving the Jin people enough benefits, they will reach a consensus.
But now, the situation has changed in a way that everyone did not expect.
General Han Fuyue actually refused to obey the imperial edict, and left more than 30,000 elite soldiers. He also changed his name to Zhaoyi Army and issued a "Message to the People of the World." It was as if he wanted to resist and disobey the order, and stayed to fight against the Jin to the end.
Qin Huizhi sent a secret message, requesting Wanyan Sheng to kill General Han Fuyue to reach a peace agreement, while the Qi Dynasty would send a partial force to attack from both front and rear.
This made Wan Yansheng fall into deep thought.
He stood up and walked around the tent twice, and said: "Han Fuyue is indeed a famous general. I was already sure to win the battle of Yancheng, but I didn't expect that he could forcefully break the tie. Iron Buddha Tu I lost my life in a battle with Guaizima, which really made me heartbroken...
"If he only has more than 30,000 men in his hands at this time and has no food and logistics, then this is indeed the best time to attack and eradicate the enemy in one fell swoop.
"It's just...do you think this might be a trick to lure the enemy?
"I have read the story of the bitter flesh trick."
At this time, the Jin people were very keen on the culture of the Qi Dynasty, and many historical allusions were familiar to them.
Wan Yansheng was also very worried. What if General Han Fuyue's rebellion was just a show, but actually meant to set a trap and lure him into taking the bait?
When he stormed General Han Fuyue, the various Qi armies were divided and outflanked. Then he would suffer another big defeat...
Then forget about the peace talks and just consider running back to your hometown in the land of black mountains and white waters.
Wan Yanxian shook his head slightly: "I don't think... it's a trap.
"If this is a strategy, then it is too much.
"The Qi people could have refused to negotiate peace with us and allowed Han Fuyue to continue fighting. But the Emperor of Qi really issued an edict to withdraw his troops. He gave Han Fuyue twelve gold medals a day to withdraw his troops.
“This is enough to show that Emperor Qi really doesn’t want to fight.
"How could such a performance be just a show? The price would be too high.
“Furthermore, based on our understanding of Emperor Qi Chao and Qin Huizhi, they would indeed do such a thing.
"Qin Huizhi's only value in the Qi Dynasty is to sign a peace agreement with our Dynasty. Therefore, no matter how excessive our demands are, this person will fully accept them.
"What's more, judging from the military reports from various spies, all the generals of the Qi Dynasty except Han Fuyue have indeed returned to the court, and the army has also retreated. Although it did not retreat quickly, there was a strong intention to retreat. Obviously, it is impossible to come over and outflank our army's retreat.
"There are indications...that this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Wanyan Sheng couldn't help but laugh: "Okay! It's a great blessing for me to have such an emperor and a prime minister in the Qi Dynasty!
"Send an order to gather all the troops and kill Han Fuyue!
"Kill Han Fuyue and then make a peace agreement with the Qi Dynasty. What I lose now will be taken back when I have defeated all the rebels!"
Wan Yansheng deserves to have first-rate strategic ability and third-rate tactical ability. He can always accurately grasp the opportunity to fight.
Wan Yansheng's characteristics as a general commanding troops can be summarized as "being able to grasp combat opportunities, having strong maneuverability, and being resilient."
In fact, Jin people are not good at particularly complex strategies and tactics, and they do not have strong discipline. The reason why we have been able to win consecutive battles for so many years is due to our endurance and bravery.
The Jin cavalry claimed that those who could not fight for a hundred rounds were not considered elite. When attacking a city, they often fought bravely to take the lead, regardless of life and death. Such a high will to fight allows Jin people to persist until the end and win a big victory even if they encounter a tough battle. Even if they lose, it is difficult for them to completely collapse.
Although Wan Yansheng was hung up and beaten by General Han Fuyue, he was already the strongest among the Jin soldiers, and he was also the general who fully displayed this characteristic of the Jin soldiers.
At this time, as usual, he saw such a once-in-a-lifetime fighter plane.
For Wan Yansheng, the best strategy was to wait for Han Fuyue's master to return to the court and then let Qin Hui kill him unjustly. Getting rid of the most powerful enemy without a single blow is naturally the best result.
But at this time, General Han Fuyue actually disobeyed his orders and did not intend to return to the court.
Judging from Qi Chao's intentions, they seemed not to want to send out their own troops to kill General Han Fuyue.
In this case, it can only be done by the Jin people.
Wanyan Sheng could clearly see the situation at this time. If the Jin people did not take action, the possibility of the Qi Dynasty annihilating General Han Fuyue was infinitely close to zero.
Too late and things will change.
Although General Han Fuyue only has more than 30,000 people at this time, it would be difficult for him to develop.
Therefore, Wan Yansheng decided to take advantage of the fact that Han Fuyue's army had not had time to be fully integrated, had not received enough support, and had not been able to find a stable source of military rations, to take a thunderous action and kill him.
In this way, it can not only shock the world and make the Jin soldiers feel proud, but also completely eliminate this powerful enemy.
As a result, the Jin people's various armies, which were on the verge of collapse, were forcibly unified by Wan Yansheng. The elite cavalry and infantry totaled 80,000 and headed straight for Zhuxian Town.
…
At this time, Zhao Haiping did not mobilize the army in a hurry, but remained where he was.
He only does three things.
The first is high walls and deep ditches. Continue to improve the various defenses in the military camp, and build layers of defense lines as much as possible in this area to make it impregnable;
The second is to continue to train soldiers diligently every day;
The third is to receive military rations sent by nearby people.
Although there are only more than 30,000 people in the Zhaoyi Army and the consumption of military rations has slowed down, after all, without the continuous supply of food and grass from the rear, it is already in a state of having nothing to eat.
The food left behind when the army withdrew could not last long.
But at least in the short term, Zhao Haiping does not have to worry about military rations.
Because the people behind enemy lines in the newly recovered areas were rushing to deliver food.
According to historical records, the people of the Central Plains "struggled to pull oxen in carts to carry miscellaneous grain to feed the rebels." When they learned that General Han Fuyue had received the gold medal and wanted to withdraw his troops, the people of the Central Plains once urged: "We will wait for your support." The incense basins are used to transport grain and grass to meet the officers and soldiers, and the captives are aware of it. My husband is here today, and we have no gnats."
At that time, given the great reputation of General Han Fuyue in various places, it was a very common phenomenon for ordinary people to come to deliver military rations.
Not only General Han Fuyue is like this, but other Qi troops from all walks of life, as long as they can win battles and have a good reputation among the people, also receive this treatment.
Before Zhao Haiping tore up the edict, General Han Fuyue and other generals basically "rewarded generously with silver and silk".
In other words, the people's food should not be taken for free, but the people should be rewarded with some gold, silver, wealth and silk according to the amount of food transported.
The Jin people were so angry that they sent people to intercept and kill the people who were transporting food to the Qi army. At the same time, they used the method of protecting the troops to sit down. Anyone who was found transporting food to the Qi army would kill all the people around them.
But even so, there was still an endless stream of people in the Qi Dynasty rushing to transport grain.
In addition, when the Jin people evacuated various strategic places, they did not have time to take away all kinds of baggage, so this part can also be used as a supplement.
In the past, the Qi armies did not accept the rations sent by the people because they were indeed not short of food, but now, Zhao Haiping was really short of food.
Therefore, he asked his men to collect all the military rations that the people had worked so hard to send and record them one by one.
Not only that, he also called several fellow villagers who transported military rations, had a chat with them, and told them a very important thing.
Although these military rations cannot be exchanged for gold, silver and silk at this time, these fellow villagers can obtain vouchers written by him personally and stamped with the military seal.
Zhao Haiping promised that when the lost land was recovered, the ownerless land would be distributed to these people. Anyone who has transported military rations to the army can also obtain additional land based on the amount of military rations transported!
How much military rations were exchanged for how much land was clearly written on the voucher.
Of course, some of the so-called ownerless lands... may be truly ownerless, and some may have been forcibly ownerless after killing the Jin people's puppet troops and landlords.
The people who came to deliver food naturally took away these vouchers happily, and were even happier than receiving rewards such as gold and silver.
Because in ancient times, land was the only means of production!
Although gold and silver are also hard currencies, they are much less attractive to ordinary people than land.
Although this is just a blank check now and may not be honored, it is bound to be honored in the minds of the people.
Because of General Han Fuyue's illustrious reputation in the wars in the north and south, the people were convinced that he would definitely win, and he would never default on his debt.
Not only that, Zhao Haiping also continued to make three chapters of agreement with his soldiers.
First, we still have to fight bravely to kill the enemy and strive to be the first in everything. The military achievements we have made before and in the future still count.
Second, we must still "freeze to death without demolishing houses, starve to death without looting", and no matter what kind of desperate situation we encounter, we must not disturb the people.
Third, anyone who has made military achievements can obtain land just like the common people who come to transport food!
In this way, the Zhaoyi Army's goals and reward and punishment mechanism are clear.
The goal is to strike gold and regain lost ground.
The reward and punishment mechanism is to distribute the recaptured land according to military merit!
Before, General Han Fuyue would never and would not dare to play like this. Because he was still a minister of the Qi Dynasty and led Qi Dynasty's army, the land he conquered naturally belonged to the Qi Dynasty.
How these lands are divided depends on the emperor's wishes. As the general in charge of the army, he has no right to deal with it.
But now, since we no longer care about the emperor's edicts and don't need the emperor's logistics, do we still need to share the territory I conquered with you?
Of course I took it for myself!
And this kind of reward mechanism has an absolutely irresistible temptation for both the soldiers under his command and the people who transport food.
At this moment, Zhao Haiping received a military report that Wan Yansheng once again gathered 80,000 soldiers and horses to make a comeback.
But this time, it was obvious that he had learned the news that General Han Fuyue had fallen out with the Qi Dynasty, and wanted to avenge his past humiliation.
Zhao Haiping took a deep breath and prepared for a fight to the death.
Of course, there is a big gap in the number of people between the two sides.
In terms of logistical food and fodder supply, there is also a lot of difference.
Although there are grain silos and people transport grain voluntarily, since a stable supply line has not yet been formed, the logistical pressure on the Zhaoyi Army must be much greater.
If this battle becomes a protracted battle, perhaps the Zhaoyi Army will really be trapped and die here.
But so what?
When Zhao Haiping tore up the edict, he had already thought of today's situation.
Then fight!
As long as this battle is won, the sky is high and the sea is vast, and you can gallop anywhere!
