General Qin

Gu Ze was indeed very cooperative. He summoned all the townspeople in Gu Bo Township that night to comfort the frightened residents in the village, so that this dangerous night passed safely, and no other accidents happened, which made Zhao Tuo heave a sigh of relief .

At the same time, Zhao Tuo also carefully sealed the written bamboo slips and handed them to Shejian.

"Be careful on the road. If something happens, you should put your own safety first."

"Understood, you can rest assured."

She Jian rode on the horse provided by the Gu family, took the bamboo slips carefully, bowed his hands to Zhao Tuo, and rode away.

Qin Lv has a saying that if you ask for instructions, you must ask for instructions in writing, not just verbally.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo carefully wrote a document, hoping to get the ideal result.

After Shejian left, Zhao Tuo also gathered his soldiers and patrolled the village to prevent possible accidents.

In this way, in the evening, Shejian came back and brought the official reply from Zhuoyi Office on this matter.

"Gu family can be pardoned, comfort is the first priority."

The simple words made Zhao Tuo completely relieved. He didn't know if the leader Li Xin was in charge of handling this matter, but this reply was definitely the most suitable for the current situation.

As long as the Gu family is pardoned, there will be no chaos in Gu Bo Township, which is definitely a good thing for the overall situation.

"Many villages have been reversed."

She Jian whispered in Zhao Tuo's ear.

It turned out that on the way to deliver the letter, he met many messengers from other villages who rushed back to ask for help.

Although the Zhuoyi Order surrendered in Kaesong, allowing the Qin army to take Zhuoyi, a large city in the hinterland of Dukang, without bloodshed, the situation of gathering in the surrounding villages is different.

Like Gu Ze, there are quite a few of the three old fellows who switched to the Qin State with the priority of protecting the clan. But there are also many powerful nobles who are loyal to the Yan Kingdom. In addition, there are knights in various towns who gather to make troubles, causing many bloody conflicts.

In addition, some of the commanders of the Qin army were rude and did not know how to appease them. They showed arrogance in some villages that had apparently surrendered, and ordered the Yan people like servants, which caused some Yan people who had already surrendered to Qin to be defeated. He rose up to resist again, called on the villagers to expel the Qin army.

What's more, some people with the idea of ​​black buttocks, in order to earn military merits and promote titles, provoke disputes privately, kill people and cut off their heads.

In the situation where there were requests for reinforcements and encirclement and suppression of villages and towns everywhere, Zhao Tuo's request for appeasement was particularly conspicuous, and he immediately got a reply of permission.

After all, the Qin army in Zhuoyi City is just a rejuvenating army, and the vanguard troops are limited in strength. Facing the towns that are rebelling everywhere, they are already very busy. If they can appease the next township without using troops, it is considered a credit.

"Tun Chief Zhao Tuo, you did a good job this time."

Two military judges followed Shejian, they praised Zhao Tuo, and then went to work immediately.

One person was in charge of questioning the soldiers, captives, and the nobles of the lonely family to confirm whether the situation reported by Zhao Tuo was true.

The other person went to inspect the head and record the achievements and casualties of the Qin army.

These military judges are all from school, able to read and write, and have received special legal education. They will write the data and information they get on the wooden board one by one.

This is the rigidity of the Qin people. Everything must be checked repeatedly, counting data and evidence, reviewing all doubtful points, and reporting them only after confirming that they are correct.

What Zhao Tuo said is basically true, and there is no doubt about the witness and material evidence. After confirming that there was no problem, a smile appeared on the tense faces of the two military judges.

"Very well, we will definitely report to the superior officials, check and discuss meritorious deeds, and after a few days, the Lords of Xintun will be rewarded accordingly."

"Thank you, both of you. I have another question, how will the prisoners be punished?" Zhao Tuo asked in a deep voice.

The two military judges looked at each other, and one of them said: "The few people who participated in the attack will be sent to the barracks and beheaded in public. As for the escaped Le Ren, he will be spared death and get tattooed as Chengdan."

Zhao Tuo nodded and was speechless.

Gao Jianli will not die, but he will have his face tattooed and become a prisoner of the construction project.

After the military judge left, everyone in the village was elated. After all, after passing the inspection by the military judge, the review at the camp was like a formality. All 30 people stationed at the north gate could upgrade their titles, and anyone would Happy, especially when the black butt walks with the wind, and those eyes are all looking towards the sky.

After this incident, everyone in the village was convinced by Zhao Tuo, the head of the village. If he hadn't had a keen mind and arranged defensive measures in advance, many people would have died in Song Yi's night attack, let alone decapitation.

Apart from Qin Zu, the Gu clan was also very grateful to Zhao Tuo. The matter of Song Yi's Guxin did not implicate the entire Gu clan, and they could still maintain their position in Gu Bo Township without being affected.

Of course, there is no penalty at all.

In addition to the thousand stones of food and grass and the hundred thousand money that Gu Ze had promised before. They also have to pay a fine according to the price of a piece of armor for each person. After calculating, more than 30 armors are worth tens of thousands of dollars, but in terms of the financial resources of the Gu family, they can still pay.

Gubo Township settled down, and the garrison mission of Xintun and others passed peacefully, and no other accidents occurred.

A few days later, the army led by General Wang Jian arrived in Zhuoyi, indicating that the garrison mission of Zhao Tuo and others had officially ended.

The specially trained Qin officials went to the villages to make handovers. They were all officials transferred from the hometown of Zhao State. They had experience and most of them had been trained in Yan State dialect. The pawns went smoothly, under their appeasement and the deterrence of Wang Jian's army, the nearby towns and cities would settle down soon.

At the time of parting, Gu Ze personally sent Zhao Tuo out of the village.

"Zhao Jun, this matter is thanks to you. You will always be a guest of my Gu clan. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to speak up."

Zhao Tuo also replied: "The elder is serious. We can complete the task this time, thanks to the cooperation of your Gu family. It is not due to Zhao Tuo alone."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Looking at the figure of Qin Jun going away.

Gu Ze murmured: "This son has a keen mind, he also understands the general situation, and knows the situation. In the future, he will surely be able to rise ninety thousand miles like a roc in the North Sea. My Gu family has a good relationship with him, and maybe there will be another way out in the future." .”

...

Complete the handover and return to Zhuoyi.

Zhao Tuo first discovered that there was a large military camp outside the city, and the people and horses neighed, and the sound shook the sky.

Wang Jian gathered an army of 100,000 troops here, ready to destroy Yan in one fell swoop.

But what awaits everyone in Xintun is not a new military order.

It is a document that confers a new title.

In the battle of the night attack in Gubo Township, the number of beheads and prisoners in Xintun totaled thirty-five people, which already exceeded the standard for the head of the village to be full of hundreds of generals.

According to the laws of Qin, Zhao Tuo, the head of the village, can be promoted to a rank of nobility.

The fourth rank of knighthood.

No change.
