Chapter 312

: Any mistake will be investigated

After Gao Ping defeated the Liao and Han coalition forces, everyone thought Chai Rong would celebrate. After all, he forced the Liao army to retreat with his disadvantages and severely damaged the soldiers of the Northern Han.!dank an win phone bill) Everyone felt that Gao Ping's battle brought out the momentum of the Later Zhou army, exerted the majesty of the Later Zhou army, completely embodied the dignity of the great country, and allowed Guo Rong to get a good start after ascending the throne.

However, Guo Rong was not overly happy. On the contrary, he was a little depressed. Guo Rong was an emperor who was good at summarizing. Now he was idle, so he naturally had to summarize the battle of Gaoping.

Guo Rong, who calmed down, felt that he was a little too hasty. The Battle of Gaoping took place in the Hou Zhou territory, and he could have waited for Liu Ci's support troops, and used the relatively strong national strength of Hou Zhou to force the enemy to retreat with superior forces. However, he was a little reckless. He ignored the painstaking persuasion of Feng Dao and other ministers, and actually fought with much less troops with a decisive battle with Liu Chong. If it weren't for the destiny of heaven in Zhou, how could Guo Rong succeed?!

Therefore, Guo Rong immediately ordered someone to send letters to Kaifeng Prefecture. On the one hand, he promoted the victory of Gaoping's battle and united the people's hearts. On the other hand, he secretly apologized to Feng Dao, hoping that he would continue to carry forward his experience advantages and continue to assist the court.

Guo Rong also felt a little angry. Why did Fan Ai and He Hui dare to betray him? Why could the soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty point and fight wherever they are in the hands of their father Guo Wei, senior Wang Jun, and even young general Dong Zunhui, without any discount. Why did he become the head coach so hard and have no combat power?

The reason is very simple. Although Guo Rong was unwilling to admit it, it was that he had no prestige and could not convince the public! Guo Rong sighed. In the past, his father always stayed at home and had no military achievements. He was established as a crown prince for too long, and he had no time to lay out the military and did not establish corresponding prestige. More importantly, his original surname was Chai, but he did not have the surname Guo!

Although succession means becoming a member of the Guo family, his father, Guo Rong, has remained the true bloodline. Although Guo Xin was a little confused, he was not justified in inheriting his father's foundation. Even though he came to this family when Guo Wei was the most bitter and cold, even if he helped the Guo family flourish and prosperous, even if he and Guo Wei's father are kind and son are filial, everyone still think it is wrong for him to inherit the throne, even if he created such military achievements!

No matter how much he sighed, he still had to do what he should do. Guo Rong ordered Dong Zunhui to be responsible and selected thousands of young and strong men from the surrendered soldiers of the Later Han Dynasty to form Xiaoshun command (that is, the special battalion with the military name "Xiaoshun". Guo Rong appointed Sima Tang Jingsi, a former Wusheng Army marching army, as his commander, and led them to the north bank of the Huai River. On the one hand, he could prevent the invasion of the Southern Tang and the North, and on the other hand, he could also prevent these soldiers from fleeing back to the Northern Han.

As for those weak soldiers, each of them gave two pieces of silk and sent them back to the Northern Han Dynasty. Anyway, their combat power was average, and even if they joined the army again, they would not cause any trouble to the Later Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, after they returned to the Northern Han Dynasty, they would become extra-staff propagandists of the Later Zhou army, making the power of the Later Zhou army more known to the people of the Northern Han Dynasty.

As soon as he had handled the surrendering matter, someone came to report that Fan Aineng and He Hui had just brought the team back to the army and were kneeling at the gate!

Guo Rong laughed furiously, why do they dare to come back?! Fan Aineng escaped in front of the formation, led his troops to flee privately, killed my envoy, robbed my food and grass, and tried to deceive the reinforcements of Liu Ci. Now, I heard that Hou Zhou Dasheng dared to come back!

Guo Rong was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he saw that the military generals around him did not think it was strange. Guo Rong consulted Zhang Yongde and others on the side. Zhang Yongde's answer surprised Guo Rong: There is victory and loss in war, and winning and losing is common, and even if he escapes at the last moment, it is common. Anyway, the Later Zhou Dynasty is in a place of battle, and there are many wars in the future. They are still needed to fight, so there is no need to be strict.

Guo Rong was very silenced and then furious. Could it be that he was so cowardly that he didn't even dare to kill anyone? Could it be that he could rely on such a bastard in the future when he went to war, and he had to endure their false loyalty and his sarcasm behind his back?!

However, Guo Rong also valued Zhang Yongde's answer to himself. Guo Rong thought to himself: After all, Zhang Yongde is not an outsider, but his father's son-in-law, and my cousin-law. He is a true royal relative of the Great Zhou Dynasty and shares the rise and fall of our Great Zhou Dynasty, so Zhang Yongde dared to say something that others dare not say or want to say.

So Guo Rong was very hesitant, tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night. At this time, Dong Zunhui happened to come in and be on duty in person.

Guo Rong had a good impression of Dong Zunhui. Guo Wei had already discussed with Dong Zongben and Feng Dao during his lifetime and betrothed Princess Le'an to Dong Zunhui. However, later Guo Wei passed away and Le'an wanted to filial piety for him, so Dong Zunhui had to postpone it for a while before he got married. In this way, Dong Zunhui was not an outsider, let alone he was a minister personally selected by his father and was trustworthy.

Thinking of this, Guo Rong, who was leaning on the bed, told his troubles all over, hoping that Dong Zunhui would come up with an idea.

Dong Zunhui rubbed his nose and whispered, "These people Fan Aineng have never made any great contributions. They have only reached such a high position with their qualifications. As soon as they saw the enemy, they were the first to steal it. Even if Your Majesty ordered them to be executed, they deserved it, and everyone did not say anything. Moreover, Your Majesty is still young and will definitely be able to wipe out all the heroes and unify the Central Plains in the future. If the military law is not strictly enforced, then what is the use of Your Majesty even if you have a brave general and a million soldiers?!"

Guo Rong nodded repeatedly. He had ambitions, and Dong Zunhui said it exactly in line with his wishes. Guo Rong jumped up from the bed and threw the pillow beside him to the ground, proclaiming loudly.

Guo Rong immediately ordered people to arrest Fan Aineng, He Hui and more than 70 middle and low-level generals in the army, and escorted them to the tent. Guo Rong angrily rebuked: "You are all generals from several dynasties, not because you are not unable to fight. This time, you fled, not because you cannot resist Zhang Yuanhui, but because you want to treat me as a rare treasure and want to use me to exchange for your glory and wealth! You dare to come to see me today. Do you still want to live?"

When Guo Rong said such a heart-wrenching statement, Fan Aineng and He Hui were very ashamed. They knew that they could not escape this time, so they could only kowtow and ask for a quick death. At the same time, they also pleaded for their wives and children, hoping not to involve them.

Guo Rong said in disgust: "The national law cannot escape, and the military law is ruthless. It is your sin, so you will bear it; it is not the responsibility of your family, and I will not be involved casually! Why do you have to pretend to be a pretentious person and win my sympathy!"

Fan Aineng, He Hui and others were speechless and kowtowed to express their gratitude. They were then ordered to be executed by Guo Rong. More than 70 of their trusted generals were also executed. However, Guo Rong did not harm their family, and he specially rewarded the coffin so that their bodies could be returned to their hometown. So the soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty realized the majesty of military law, and the arrogant general bowed to Guo Rong and obeyed the order.
