Chapter 121 Win over Liu Guoneng

"Congratulations, Lord Bingbei! He Yilong confers the head, this is another great feat!"

Seeing that He Yilong's head was finally delivered, all the generals in Shen Shuren's camp were all elated.

Disbelief was written on everyone's faces—they originally thought that this battle would eventually be won, but even so, they never expected that the specific method of victory would be so dramatic and legendary.

In the eyes of many people, it is either a bloody battle, and finally the enemy is defeated and captured on the battlefield;
Either accept He Yilong's condition of saving his life and establishment, and make sure that He Yilong will not rebel, and then give him some official positions.

Unexpectedly, Lord Bingbei could do such a great job, and once again forced the thief general to kill the master to vote.

This kind of behavior that completely ignores Confucian ethics and morals, and seduces and induces Lu Bu's behavior is really incredible.

Of course, strictly speaking, the "Lu Bu Index" this time is not as high as when Liu Xiyao was killed before.After all, it wasn't his adopted son who killed He Yilong, but his general, and it was the general who killed all his adopted sons in one pot.

Among Shen Shuren's many subordinates, there are also individual civil servants who were not able to accept this kind of behavior of "actively inducing the collapse of etiquette and happiness" in terms of three views.

For example, Yan Yingyuan, who still holds the title of Xiaoshou County, but actually also works as a judge in the prefecture.

Yan Yingyuan has been dealing with civil affairs in the rear recently. These days, he happened to help raise military supplies and logistics, and transport food and ammunition to the front line. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but secretly persuade him:
"My lord, since ancient times loyal officials must come from the family of filial sons, and they can easily destroy thieves by other means. Why do you have to be so shocking? If you always use such unfilial and unrighteous people when recruiting and accepting rebels, the subordinates are worried. In the future, the morality in the army will also be corrupted."

Shen Shuren didn't take it seriously either, knowing that Yan Yingyuan's talk was commonplace, he just accepted it calmly and refused to repent:
"Brother said, it is a prudent theory. However, in an extraordinary time, extraordinary things are done. Now the country is in chaos, the four directions are disturbed, there are many thieves, and cruel creatures. Li thief Zhang Nizhi took his adopted son to control us. It is necessary to countermeasures.

Han Fei said: The Lu people fought from the king, three wars and three north.Zhong Ni asked why, and said to him, "I have an old father, and I can't take care of him when I die."From this point of view, the filial son of a husband and father is also the betrayal of his ministers.

I won’t go into details, but if you still feel that you can’t accept it, you can go back to brother Ting Lin and ask for “On the Thieves” to read.That book was recently ordered by him to be revised. It originated from a discussion when I was looking for Governor Fang to ask for reinforcements. "

When Yan Yingyuan saw that Shen Shuren said that Han Feizi hated Confucius and said such "rebellious" words, he knew that this topic could not be persuaded, and his immediate boss was definitely a pragmatist.

He quickly said that he would not bother Shen Shuren with such trivial matters, and turned to Gu Yanwu for discussion.

And the book Shen Shuren mentioned was also idle during the past month when he led the army to confront He Yilong here.So I found Gu Yanwu, an aide from the rear who has been receiving his salary for nothing, drinking flowers and wine and listening to music, and asked him to write it.

Gu Yanwu has lived a happy life since he followed Shen Shuren, with a salary of 300 taels a month, and he doesn't need to do anything, just read books and learn by himself every day.

Occasionally, Shen Shuren had official memorials to ghostwrite, or thought of some ideas, political and philosophical theories, and needed to find someone with a good writing style to organize them into a document before letting Gu Yanwu catch him.Gu Yanwu also likes to write articles by nature, so they hit it off right away.

The books that are written are all agreed upon, and all of them are signed "Written by Shen Shuren/Edited by Gu Yanwu".The ideological and theoretical systems are all Shen Shuren's, and the specific demonstrations, citations and classics are all attributed to Gu Yanwu.

And the purpose of publishing this book is also obvious. Shen Shuren intends to use his political deduction ability to make use of the remaining heat. It would be a waste if he didn't write out the gains from chatting with Fang Kongxuan that day.

And if he can successfully predict that "Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will definitely be more harmful than Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying in the future", when it is fulfilled in the future, scholars and generals all over the world will definitely take a high look at his vision.

If it can be predicted that "after Li Zicheng joins hands with Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying, it will be easier for Li Zicheng to kill his colleagues and annex his tribe", and reveal the underlying logic in advance, then the degree of divine prophecy in the future will directly explode.

From now on, people in the world will definitely pay more attention to Shen Shuren's opinion when making decisions about "who to vote for in troubled times", because he can see through the ups and downs, who doesn't want to stand with the winner and share the spoils?

Taking a step back, even if history changes due to the butterfly effect, Li Zicheng will not be able to kill Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying to annex his followers in the future.

But as long as Shen Shuren's book comes out, the analysis is clear and logical, and it is widely disseminated, it will have the effect of separating Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, and Ma Shouying.Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it is a steady profit.

He is so busy doing things.

One month before He Yilong's death, he just concluded that He Yilong must die, and Shen Shuren had already started to prepare to deal with the opponent in the next stage. If there is no date, hit him first.

This kind of demeanor fell into the eyes of the subordinate Wenwu, and his admiration for Mr. Bingbei couldn't help but increase a little bit. What kind of wisdom is in his grasp and he despises the enemy.

……

After unifying the thoughts of the subordinates, it came to the easy and happy part of the spoils.

On the second day after He Yilong gave the head, along with Shen Shuren's army, some prisoners of war were escorted back to the rear.It can be regarded as clearing the way for the main force, marching along the valley to Pingjingguan, and successfully joined forces with Liu Guoneng's department.

Pingjingguan is the junction of Huguang and Henan, and Shen Shuren's troops will naturally be stationed in the future.

On the tower of Pingjing Pass, Shen Shuren formally received Liu Guoneng who came to help the venue, and prepared a great gift to reward the teacher.

"President Liu is loyal to Bo Yuntian, and Mr. Shen is here to thank you! You and I have been fighting together for more than a month, but because of the bandits He prevented us from seeing each other today, it is really too late."

Liu Guoneng looked to be almost forty years old, with sunken lines on his face and short beard like steel needles. When he saw the young Shen Shuren, he didn't dare to hold him back at all. He was obviously here to help, but he was grateful instead:

"Shen Daotai, what are you talking about! My old Liu is a vulgar person, I don't understand so many principles, I only know that to be a man is to be righteous, and to be kind and friendly.

I heard that when Shen Daotai was right in the imperial prelude, he fought to be punished by His Majesty as the bottom of the second class, so he still had to speak up and judge for us.I'm a martial artist, it's my first time to be kind, and I'm sure I'll be both sides!

Now Gouzi has entered Nanjing Guozijian with grace, and I heard that Si Ye Wumei Village is a famous scholar in the world and a great scholar in the world. We can't say a word to Wumei Village. In the future, Gouzi will depend on Shen Daotai to take care of him. "

Shen Shuren laughed easy-goingly: "It's easy to say, don't look at me, Shen, who was admitted as a Jinshi, in fact, I bought an official before the imperial examination. We came from a wealthy businessman's family, and both father and son bought officials to become officials.

So the difference between civil and military is just a fart in my heart.In such a troubled world, it is the last word to be able to enrich the people and save the country. Those poems, hairpin tassels, and fake sour vinegar from a family of scholars are of great help! "

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Liu Guoneng even introduced him as a confidant, and the effect of friendship directly overwhelmed Wei Xiaobao.

Liu Guoneng was overjoyed and said: "Shen Daotai is really... a quick person, and it is worthwhile for Liu to befriend you as a friend. I am ashamed to say that Shen Daotai thinks so highly of me, so it should be done for nothing.

But after all, our army fought arduously for several days, and the brothers below were killed in battle, and nearly a thousand were seriously injured, and even more were slightly injured.We can do it for nothing, but our brothers bleed and die, but we have to pay for it.Earlier, Shen Daotai brought a message through Wu Tiande, and agreed to capture..."

In the second half of the sentence, Liu Guoneng changed the subject, and he felt a little embarrassed, mainly because He Yilong's general finally killed the leader and surrendered, and he surrendered to Shen Shuren, so Liu Guoneng didn't get the chance to be captured and incorporated.

Of course, Shen Shuren would not play tricks on this kind of issue, now is a good time for Gu Enshiyi to win people's hearts.So he promised:

"What's the matter? Even though He Yilong's remnant troops surrendered directly, brother Liu can take all the property in the army. Come here, and take a look at the account of the seizure."

As he said that, Shen Shuren turned around and waved, and Yan Yingyuan, who was in charge of logistics, brought over the account book in a short while. Shen Shuren just glanced at the seized composition and threw it to Liu Guoneng.
"The gold, silver, money, and silk are all Brother Liu's. I took a look, and it seems that this part can always be converted into more than 2 taels of silver. I will give you another 2 taels. Suizhou is a poor place, Er He Even if you kill all the wealthy households, you won't find much cash.

The food and grass are almost eaten by the thieves, and there are only seven or eight days of rations left for 3 people, and it all belongs to Brother Liu, but I will not double compensate you for this part. We are not rich in food. These days, mountainous areas There is a shortage of food everywhere in poor houses.

The weapons captured by the thieves in the past battles can equip 4 to [-] people.I have collected [-] captives. In case there are no weapons available, I need to keep [-] for the time being, and the rest will go to Brother Liu.

And you can choose first and pick out the high-quality ones.Let’s be honest, I only have to deal with these rogue weapons for a while. In the future, these people will gradually change their minds. I will definitely build another heavy weapon, so just leave me some bad knives and broken guns.

In addition, you said that nearly a thousand of your troops died in battle or died of serious injuries. I will count 1000 people for you, and each person will receive 30 taels of compensation, which is 3 taels.For the wounded who are not dead or disabled, I will count them as 2000 people, ten taels per person, 2 taels.

Counting the previous cash seizure and double bonus, I will give you a total of 9 taels of silver first, and you can get the food and weapons yourself.In the end, for the [-] prisoners of war, you have to make up for your own losses, and I can also allow you to pick up thousands of them.

Try to give priority to your fellow villagers in Shaanxi, and keep the sources of troops from Huguang and Henan.Those Shaanxi people are rebellious and unruly, I can't help but recruit too many for the time being, and I'm afraid that the bad military discipline will change things. "

Shen Shuren's arrangement was clear, and he clapped his hands directly, and asked the housekeeper Shen Fu to take Liu Guoneng to collect the money—he had besieged He Yilong's department here for more than 20 days, and it had been almost ten days since he reached a deal with Liu Guoneng, so there was sufficient time to prepare silver.

Before the battle was over, Shen Shuren had already ordered the money to be transported to the front line.It must be too late to transfer from my hometown in Suzhou.

However, Shen Shuren has the right to expropriate Lijin in inter-provincial trade at the junction of Huguang, Nanzhili, and Jiangxi. Every month, his checkpoint ranges from more than 2 taels to as many as [-] to [-].

Before that, in early April, he handed over all the lijin up to that time to Fang Kongzhang, a total of more than 1 taels, in exchange for Fang Kongzhang sending Jin Shenghuan to bring a battalion for reinforcements.

From the first ten days of April to the present, after two more months of accumulation, Shen Shuren withdrew more than 6 yuan in two, and subsidized another [-] to [-] yuan, and easily collected the money.

There will be no deficit in his account, as Lijin is used for the expenses of suppressing thieves in the southern provinces, as long as he records and reconciles with Fang Kongxuan afterwards.Secondly, Shen Shuren was just making a time difference, and if the borrowing time is short, nothing will happen at all.

The financial management of the Ming Dynasty was not as strict as that of the later generations. In this era, there was no short-term embezzlement of public funds. As long as the accounts are returned in the end, everything will be fine.

Liu Guoneng was also dumbfounded when he saw his bold shot.

He expected that Shen Shuren would not be able to renege on his debts, but he really did not expect that for 9 taels of silver, Ye Neng had just met and chatted for a few days, and then a group of servants were waiting for him to accept the cash box on the other side.

A small box weighs several hundred kilograms, and it takes two strong men to lift it.In the blink of an eye, a total of forty strong men and servants brought out twenty boxes.

This payment speed is simply unheard of.

"Shen Daotai is forthright, Liu is really lucky to have such a straightforward friend like you."
