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 cavalry of the Eastern Zheng Army to enter. 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 watched with anticipation that the cavalry of the Zhengdong Army slowly entered the city.

"General Gao, this is what the people want!" Wang Yulong looked at Gao Yuan and said 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 something for everyone. "

"General Gao has entered the city of Liaoxi, and Liaoxi will have the backbone." Wang Yulong said: "For so many years, Liaoxi has been facing a strong threat from the Donghu people. It will come, Liaoxi needs a strong leader, Zhang Laojun was like this back then, and now General Gao is ushered in, 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 in Liaoxi!"

"I'm old. I can't fight. I can't fight. I haven't read much, so I'm powerless!" Wang Yulong said, "I hope General Gao will allow me to retire."

"You can't tell the old man!" 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 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 only forced by form. I think that Gao Yuan will never be reused by old people like them. Instead of being driven away, it is better to be a bachelor and make a seat for yourself, so that the other party can have a good impression of me.

In order not to embarrass himself, if he really has no desire for fame and fortune, then he is lying to himself.

"The post of Sima?" Wang Yulong looked at Gao Yuan, not knowing what to say for a while.

"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 the people in the city Of the more than 20,000 county soldiers under the command of these county lieutenants, I am going to reorganize a new army from the middle, and this task must be handed over to the old county lieutenants, so I am relieved." 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 understood at once that Gao Yuan wanted 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. Reorganizing 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. This shows that he is still useful to Gao Yuan, and he is afraid that he is useless to him. That is the most terrible thing things. 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 disperse and flee in embarrassment, or they will die in vain. Don't worry about this matter, the general, I I will definitely do it for you. Keep it safe and 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 post temporarily. However, I can’t stay too much time in Liaoxi City. At that time, I will 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 Jicheng Guards?" 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!" Wang Yulong was filled with emotion at this moment. To him, Ye Zhong was a high-ranking, unattainable big man in the past. No one is not a prince or general, and now he has become his immediate boss. It is also an honor to be able to serve as a director under such a person.

"Please also ask the old county lieutenant to tell the other county lieutenants 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. Even if they are not qualified, they can return Yuan County will 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 rest assured and sleep soundly."

Hearing Wang Yulong's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing.

"General Gao, the county guard's mansion is here, please enter the mansion and call 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 want to pay homage to Mrs. Zhang first. Sheriff Zhang has been kind to me. I want to take control of Liaoxi now, but I can't forget the kindness of Sheriff Zhang. The predecessors planted trees. , descendants enjoy the shade, Zhang Junshou has made great contributions in the west of 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 the west of Liaoxi, who used to be prominent, but now she is lying desolately and lonely in the lonely hall. Beside the coffin, except for a few loyal old Servants, the rest of the people, etc., have long been scattered. Before the coffin, there was not even a filial son and grandson in mourning.

Looking at this scene, Wang Yulong couldn't help but sigh.

Lit three pillars of fresh incense, inserted them into the incense burner in front of the coffin, Gao Yuan regularly 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, also went up one by one Condolences before. 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 this loyal old family member up, 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, and I will definitely thank you."

The old butler suddenly burst into tears, broke free from Gao Yuan's support, and knelt down again with a bang, "Please be merciful, General Gao, and please spare the eldest son's life. The Zhang family can't cut off the incense, please be merciful, General Gao." !"

Hearing the old housekeeper's cry, Gao Yuan's face sank. Whether Zhang Junbao killed or not was not important to him, but if he was left here, or if there were still descendants in the Zhang family, it would not matter to him. As far as the future of Liaoxi is concerned, 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 younger brother, he committed a heinous crime. How could such a person tolerate him living to make the world laugh. After the old lady heard about this, she immediately Going away by suicide is not as good as an angry Zhang Junbao's 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: "Liaoxi will not forget Zhang Junshou, Wanglao county captain, and you will do this for me. In Liaoxi City, build an ancestral hall for Zhang Junshou, enshrine Zhang Junshou, and mold gold for Zhang Junshou In addition, General Shubao, General Luhong, General Desheng, and General Gu Changwei also made gold statues in this ancestral hall as guards of Zhangjun. After the completion of this hall, officials in western Liaoning must go to worship every year, and the people also You can go there freely, 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 loyal. After the hall is completed, the old steward will lead people to guard it. Whatever is needed, 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.

"Publicly try Zhang Junbao as soon as possible, and then execute him!" Gao Yuan said while striding 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."
