I’m The King Chapter 497: : aftermath
The gate of Liaoxi City was completely opened for Gao Yuan. When the first ray of sunlight fell on the quaint city wall of Liaoxi City in the early morning of the next day, Gao Yuan, surrounded by Wang Yulong and others, led the Zhengdong Army Cavalry began to enter the city. In the wide-open city gate, the people who were entering and leaving the city gate gave way to the two sides. In the eyes of everyone, they could not see any other emotions other than what they should do for granted.
No one was surprised at all. The Zhengdong Army had been stationed outside the city for so long, and everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before Gao Yuan entered the city. Gao Yuan's entry into the city, on the contrary, made the people in the city more stable. The military discipline of the Eastern Conqueror Army is well-known in the west of Liaoning. When they enter the city to take over the defense, they may be able to calm down those county soldiers who are making troubles and stop harming ordinary people. up.
Everyone was looking forward to seeing the cavalry of the Eastern Army slowly enter the city.
"General Gao, this is what the people want!" Wang Yulong looked at Gao Yuan in admiration.
"It's not because of my high prestige, but because Zhang Junbao really loses people's hearts!" Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "Old county captain, maybe it's true as you said, the current Liaoxi City needs me to do it for everyone What."
"When General Gao entered Liaoxi City, Liaoxi has a backbone." Wang Yulong said: "Liaoxi has been facing a strong threat from the Donghu people for so many years. The revenge of Liaoxi will come soon, Liaoxi needs a strong leader, Zhang Laojun was like this back then, now, General Gao is ushered in again, this is the blessing of Liaoxi people!"
"The old county lieutenant has won the prize. How can I compare with the achievements made by the old county magistrate!" Gao Yuan said with a smile. "Old county lieutenant, you told me earlier that you want to disarm and return to the farmland, and I can't agree to it. You know it too. Now Liaoxi is in the most dangerous time. As an old man next to Zhang Junshou, how can he be in the most dangerous place in Liaoxi? When you are in danger, why not just enjoy yourself? There are still a lot of things waiting for you to do in western Liaoning!"
"I'm old. I can't fight. I can't kill the enemy. I haven't read much, so I'm powerless!" Wang Yulong said: "I hope General Gao will allow me to retire."
"Retiring is not an option!" Gao Yuan smiled. "Wanglao County Lieutenant is a great god. I still count on you to help me guard Liaoxi. I have decided that Wanglao County Lieutenant will take up the post of Sima in Liaoxi. Although the old County Lieutenant is old, it is important to know that the old man is in charge. The ambition is thousands of miles away, even if the old county lieutenant wants to enjoy the blessings, he will have to wait for Liaoxi to truly stabilize before returning to his hometown with peace of mind!"
Wang Yulong took a long breath, showing shock on his face, the post of Sima in Liaoxi County. It can be said that he has a real position and weight, and he never thought that this position would fall on his head.
Although he wanted to retire from his old age and return to his hometown, it was just forced by form. I think that Gao Yuan will never be reused by old people like them. Rather than being driven away by others, it is better to be a bachelor and make a seat for himself. If you have the heart of Lilu, you are deceiving yourself.
"The position of Sima?" Wang Yulong looked at Gao Yuan, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Old county lieutenant, as you said, the west of Liaoning is in extreme danger. The Donghu people will come as soon as they say it, so we must hurry up to prepare the army for war. The old county lieutenant is very familiar with the counties in west Liaoning. Now these county lieutenants in the city lead more than 20,000 county soldiers, I am going to reorganize a new army from the middle, this task must be handed over to the old county lieutenant, so I can rest assured." Gao Yuan said. "I don't want to hide from the old county lieutenant. I don't trust the fighting power of these county soldiers. If they are against the Donghu people, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on."
Wang Yulong now understands that Gao Yuan wants to reorganize the 20,000 county soldiers in the city. Although these people's combat effectiveness is not very good now, Gao Yuan's ability to train soldiers is well known in the world. However, the reorganization of so many people will inevitably cause some backlash. He needs someone like himself to hold the field for him and minimize the unfavorable factors.
Although he thought clearly about Gao Yuan's intentions, Wang Yulong was not unhappy. On the contrary, he was very happy in his heart. is the scariest thing. If you do this well, you will be guaranteed for the rest of your life.
"The general is right. These soldiers really need to be trained well. In this state, if they meet the Donghu people, they will either flee in a rush, flee in embarrassment, or die in vain. This matter, the general Don't worry, I will take care of it for you. There will be no accidents!" Wang Yulong patted his chest and said.
"With the old county lieutenant in charge, I'm relieved." Gao Yuan smiled, "General Ye Zhong will take up the post of Liaoxi left-behind, in charge of the military affairs of Liaoxi. I will take up the position of Liaoxi prefect for the time being. However, I can’t stay too much time in Liaoxi city. At that time, I will also invite the old county captain, Ye Zhong, and Zheng Jun to work together to manage Liaoxi well. .”
"Ye Zhong? Is it General Ye Chong, the former commander of the Imperial Guards of Jicheng?" Wang Yulong asked in surprise.
"Exactly, General Ye Zhong left Jicheng and is now in our army. The old county captain thinks he is still qualified for the post of left behind in western Liaoning?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.
"Competent, competent, General Ye Zhong is famous all over the world, how could he be incompetent!" At this moment, Wang Yulong was full of emotions. To him, Ye Zhong was a high-ranking, unattainable figure in the past. , The people I handed over are all princes and generals, and now they have become my immediate superiors. It is also my honor to be able to serve as a director under such a person.
"I would also like to ask the old county captain to tell the other county captains to rest assured that I, Gao Yuan, am not the master who kills donkeys. Among them, those who are talented will stay in the army. But go back to the original county and continue to serve as the county lieutenant to keep one side safe, I believe they can still do it." Gao Yuan stopped the horse, and the county guard's mansion was already in sight.
"Thank you, General Gao. To be honest, they are feeling a little nervous right now!" Wang Yulong couldn't help being overjoyed: "With the general's words, they can sleep peacefully."
Listening to Wang Yulong's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing.
"General Gao, the county guard's mansion is here, please enter the mansion and summon the officials to discuss matters!" Wang Yulong got off his horse and held the reins for Gao Yuan.
"No!" Gao Yuan jumped off his horse, "It's not in a hurry, I'm going to pay respects to Mrs. Zhang first, the governor of Zhang is kind to me, and I'm going to rule western Liaoning, but I can't forget the kindness of the governor of Zhang. People plant trees, future generations enjoy the shade, Zhang Junshou has made great achievements in western Liaoning, the old lady passed away unfortunately, I will go to condolences from now on.”
In the back hall, inside a coffin, lies the mistress of Liaoxi Zeng Jin, who used to be prominent, but now she is lying desolately and lonely in the lonely lobby. Beside the coffin, except for a few faithful Geng Geng's old servant, the rest of the people, etc., have long been scattered. Before Lingshu, there was not even a filial son and filial grandson in mourning.
Looking at this scene, Wang Yulong couldn't help but sigh.
Lighted three pillars of incense, inserted them into the incense burner in front of the coffin, Gao Yuan respectfully performed three prostrations in front of the coffin, and the generals of the Zhengdong Army who followed him, as well as some officials from the west of Liaoning, They also stepped forward to offer condolences in turn. The arrival of these people finally made this place gain some popularity.
The old butler of the Zhang family tremblingly walked over with deep wrinkles on his face, and kowtowed to Gao Yuan.
Helping up this loyal old family member, Gao Yuan comforted softly: "Everyone in the Zhang family, there are many fugitives. You can guard the spirit here, which shows your loyalty. Zhang Junshou is not far from his wife's heroic spirit. I will definitely thank you You."
The old butler suddenly burst into tears, broke free from Gao Yuan's support, and knelt down again with a puff, "Please be merciful, General Gao, and spare the eldest son's life. The Zhang family can't cut off the incense, please Gao General, please forgive me!"
Hearing the old butler's cry, Gao Yuan's face sank. Whether Zhang Junbao kills or not is not important to him, but if he is left here, or in other words, there are still descendants in the Zhang family. If so, in terms of the future of western Liaoning, it is an unpredictable variable.
Wang Yulong on the side also changed his color, and shouted in a deep voice: "Old housekeeper, are you confused? Zhang Junbao murdered his father and brother, he committed a heinous crime. How can such a person tolerate him living to make the world laugh? The old lady heard about this After that, he committed suicide and left, because he was angry that Zhang Junbao was not as good as a beast!"
"Lieutenant Wang, but once Zhang Junbao dies, the Zhang family will be extinct!" The old butler raised his tearful face.
Gao Yuan raised his face, and said calmly: "Western Liaoxi will never forget Commander Zhang~IndoMTL.com~Wanglao County Lieutenant, I'll let you do this for me. In Liaoxi City, build an ancestral hall for Commander Zhang. To enshrine Zhang Junshou and make a golden body for Zhang Junshou. In addition, General Shubao, General Lu Hong, General Desheng, and General Gu Changwei also made gold bodies in this ancestral hall as Zhang Junshou. After the completion of this hall, Liaoxi officials every year You must go to worship, and the people are free to go, we want all Liaoxi people to remember the kindness Zhang Junbao has shown towards Liaoxi, as for Zhang Junbao, such a villain is as good as nothing."
"Subordinates obey!"
"The old steward is very loyal. After this hall is completed, the old steward will lead people to guard it. If there is any need, Liaoxi City will supply it!"
"Yes!"
"That's it!" Gao Yuan concluded the matter, bowed to Mrs. Zhang's coffin, and turned away. Behind him, the old housekeeper's hooting sound was still ringing.
"Try Zhang Junbao as soon as possible, and then execute him!" Gao Yuan said as he strode forward. "In addition, immediately send people to Bixiu Peak to bring back the remains of General Shubao, General Lu Hong, and General Victory. I hope that they and the remains of the thousand soldiers will enter the city on the day of the public trial."
