Chapter 83: Chen Cai will join the soldiers
Luyi is next to Chenzhou, so what happened in Luyi has been somewhat heard by the people in Chenzhou City.
The second brother Gao built water conservancy in Luyi, allocated land, and controlled the plague, and many people in Chenzhou went to Luyi to see a doctor.
Li Zicheng has a bad reputation, but the reputation of the high captain of Luyi in southeast Henan is not bad, and the people are rumoring that the second brother of Luyi is very benevolent and righteous, and he will be a ding, not only give him silver, give food, and his family can also share a few acres of good land. There is a rumor that the people of Luyi can eat enough, and the second brother of the high school is the star to save Henan.
Most of these words are true, but they are spread so widely because Gao Yihuan is cheeky and promotes himself. Doing good deeds without leaving a name, wouldn't that be like a brocade at night, he is now a small force, so he should let people know and make a celebrity effect.
In this era, communication is inconvenient, and to understand a person, one thing, mostly depends on word of mouth, and if the second brother wants to attract talents, he has to be in the limelight and spread his reputation.
For this reason, he also specially accepted a dog-headed military advisor who claimed to be an old Taoist in Longhu Mountain, and specially promoted him and spread some nursery rhymes.
Nowadays, Li Zicheng's reputation is very bad, if the army comes, the people in the city think about Bianliang, I am afraid that they will not trust Li Zicheng, and they are unwilling to surrender easily. Historically, Li Zicheng occupied the north, but as a result, he was defeated and his foundation collapsed instantly, which had a lot to do with his brutality and unpopularity.
Gao Yihuan's actions, but the people of Chenzhou can see it, his reputation is outside, Dai Jinghong hesitated a little, and decided to surrender the city.
Not long after, the east gate of Chenzhou was opened, and a thirty-year-old man, without armor or weapons, led more than a dozen people out and was led by the soldiers to the front of the army.
"The villain Dai Jinghong, who was originally the head of the shop in Chenzhou, is now leading the people of Chenzhou to serve the general, hoping that the general will enter the city and settle the people." Dai Jinghong knelt down on one knee in front of the sophomore brother Ma and saluted.
The second brother Gao glanced at Dai Jinghong on the horse, his figure was very strong, and the people of Chenzhou recommended him to come out to maintain order in Chenzhou, presumably this person has some ability. At that moment, the second brother turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hand to help Dai Jinghong, and said with a laugh: "Brother Dai, don't worry, if you hand over Chenzhou to me, I will definitely treat the people of Chenzhou like the people of Luyi." ”
"In this way, it is the blessing of the people of Chenzhou!" Dai Jinghong let out a sigh and said in a low voice.
"The court is corrupt, the officials and the army are like bandits, and the army is only destroyed, I am from Henan, and I should stand up to protect Henan. Brother Dai can rest assured that since the people of Chenzhou have taken refuge in me Gao Yihuan, then I, Gao Yihuan, will keep them safe, and let them have fields and be able to eat. Gao Yihuan took Dai Jinghong's hand and said meaningfully.
His words made Dai Jinghong stunned, he didn't expect Gao Yihuan, as a member of the army, to say such things, but then he was relieved, he decided to surrender, didn't he value Gao Yihuan, which was different from the army.
After speaking, the second brother patted Dai Jinghong on the shoulder, and said a few words of reassurance, and then turned back to his subordinates and instructed: "Zhuzi, you send someone to Luyi, and let Sun Yucheng pick a few people to come to Chenzhou by himself to be responsible for the civil affairs of Chenzhou." ”
After Zhao Zhuzi received the order, the second brother said to Jin Xiangang: "Xiangang, you bring people into the city to settle the people, and I will enter the city later." ”
Jin Xiangang understood the meaning of the second brother Gao when he heard this, and took the people of the headquarters and more than 300 people to enter the city first, which was to calm the people and control the city, so as to prevent fraud.
At the beginning of the year, Chenzhou was broken by the invasion army, the county magistrate abandoned the official and fled, the county Cheng, the lord Bo, the history of the official and other officials were cut down by the invasion army, all of them were killed, and the invasion army ransacked the city, and then abandoned the city and left.
In the past six months, Chenzhou has experienced drought, plague and other things, and the city has been quite dilapidated, and the people are living in great poverty. When Gao Yihuan entered Chenzhou, the people in the city were not panicked, but many people welcomed Gao Yihuan into the city on both sides of the street, all of them were ragged and had vegetables on their faces, but there was a trace of curiosity on their faces.
The situation in Chenzhou and Luyi was originally similar, but now that Luyi has initially recovered, the people of Chenzhou have some yearning for it, and even some expectations, hoping that after Gao Yihuan takes over the city, they can also live a good life.
After Gao Yihuan entered the city, he asked Dai Jinghong to recruit the leading figures in the city, appeased him with kind words, talked about his policy, and then asked the soldiers to send everyone back, and then said to Dai Jinghong: "In recent days, Zhao Yingyuan, the mighty general of Shangqiu City, and the troops from Yongcheng, Xiayi and other places, have come to Chenzhou one after another to converge. These people are hard to get rid of, and they are not under my control, and they are even my superiors, I am worried that these people will enter the city, and they will hurt the people when the time comes, Brother Dai, you will be lucky, transfer all the things that can be transferred in the city, and the young women will also be sent away to avoid the limelight, I will arrange someone to pick you up, and when they leave, you are returning to Chenzhou. ”
Dai Jinghong originally thought that Gao Yihuan wanted to expand his territory, so he took Chenzhou, but he didn't expect that the troops from Guide Mansion would come over. This made him suddenly feel fortunate in his heart, fortunately, it was Luyi's men and horses who came first, otherwise it would fall into the hands of several other intruders, and Chen Zhou was afraid that he would be unlucky.
"Don't worry, I'll do it." Dai Jinghong hurriedly responded.
Gao Yihuan nodded with satisfaction and asked Dai Jinghong to do it, which could not only reduce the damage to Chenzhou caused by the crossing of the army, but also support Dai Jinghong and incorporate more than 400 villagers in Chenzhou.
On the same day, Dai Jinghong began to transfer the personnel and property of Chenzhou, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, and the young and strong were pulled out by the second brother of the high school to be adopted.
The second brother Gao organized more than 400 villagers in Chenzhou into miscellaneous soldiers, each wrapped a black cloth on his head, as a unified marker, and at the same time asked Wu Shizhao and Jin Xiangang to act separately to take the two cities of Xiangcheng and Shenqiu.
These two cities were in a similar situation to Chenzhou, Xiangcheng was slaughtered by the breaking army, and the entire city was almost deserted, so there was no resistance, and it was taken.
After leaving one brigade in Xiangcheng and Shenqiu, the two groups returned to Chenzhou with more than 500 young men.
The second brother took three counties at once, and the aftermath can be said to be very cumbersome, such as the collection of people, clearing the acres, relocating the people, sweeping away the thieves, and so on.
The second brother of Gao did only one thing to co-opt people, and as for other things, he left them to Yu Yinglong, Sun Yucheng, and Zhou Lianggong, who was newly recruited from the victims, and other literati to deal with.
This time to help the victims, the second brother took the opportunity to recruit a lot of talents, including a man who lifted people, who had been moved by him.
Although this old man twisted and pinched and did not take the initiative to help the second brother deal with affairs, as long as the second brother had something to ask, he would not refuse to leave, and basically told the second brother some of his thoughts.
On October 19, the weather turned clear, but the snow on the ground had not melted, and nearly 2,000 soldiers from the second brother Gao, as well as 900 new miscellaneous soldiers, were training to varying degrees outside the city.
At this time, a crowd suddenly appeared in the east of the city, and behind a Liu Ziqi, thousands of thieves came from the field.
The second person who felt Luyi was not Zhao Yingyuan, but Liu Heizi from Yongcheng, who actually brought more than 3,000 people over.
The second brother of the high school got the report, so he led Zhao Zhuzi and more than 100 other people out of the city to greet him, and watched Liu Heizi riding an old horse, nostrils facing the sky, and galloping over.
"Hahaha~Brother Gao~"
"Hahaha~Brother Liu~"
