Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 294 Yu returns to Xia

When Mascot Zhuang Xun received the news of Jing Jun's surrender while still in Jinyang, everyone almost rolled out of Xuan Nu's arms.

Fortunately, the Taoist nun's clone supported him so that he would not be embarrassed and embarrassed, but he was not much better. The promised decisive battle was going to annihilate the entire Jingguo army in a few days.

"Jing Guo and Zheng Guo withdrew their troops due to the domestic peasant uprising, and heard that Commander He had instigated the rebellion of Jing Guo's Tianqingguan garrison. After analysis, the general and the imperial concubine believed that Jing Guo could be attacked, so they sent General Li Chengzhi and General Huang with light troops Jian Cong traveled to Tianqing Pass to garrison at night and starry night. The Jing army that finally retreated was blocked at Tianqing Pass and had no choice but to surrender."

Lan Qiu, who sent the message, briefly recounted the story of Jing's army's surrender. Prince Jing and Gu Guoshi did not want to surrender, but there were obstacles in front of them, no siege equipment, and there were twice as many pursuers behind.

Fighting back to the death is just Zheng Guo's wedding dress. The point is that the morale of the soldiers is scattered. He himself feels that he is acting against nature. After all, Zhuang Xun is the true emperor (sword cuts hurricane), and now he is even more surrounded. They felt that it was destiny, and many soldiers couldn't help but put down their weapons.

Seeing this situation, no matter how they escape, they will be blocked, surrounded and eaten by the Xia army, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting.

So entering the negotiation stage, what benefits can surrender bring to Jingguo? To be precise, what benefits can it bring to Prince Jing? Currently he is Jingguo's coach.

"After discussing with the general and the imperial concubine, King Jing's royal family will keep half of the internal funds, retain the title of king, and allow sacrifices to be made in the ancestral temple, etc. There are specific matters in the letter for your majesty to decide."

Lan Qiu presented the letter. Zhuang Xun, who turned over, read the letter and handed it to Xuannv. At the same time, he said to Lan Qiu: "Lan Qiu, go and invite Concubine Li Shu to discuss it together."

Jing Guo's letter of request listed many things, but in Zhuang Xun's opinion, they were not excessive. It was just these conditions for the whole country to vote, but it would be good to have more people to advise, including Xuannv and Li Shaoyun, or even to ask for help. Siqin Mi from Hengdu should also know.

"I feel that these conditions are not excessive. They were smart enough not to ask for a fief, but only for a town. However, the issue of freedom should be like the current An Le Gong, who temporarily stays in Jinyang under our noses."

Xuannv didn't have any objection after seeing it, but to be on the safe side, she still felt that King Jing's family should be controlled and King Jing couldn't be allowed to escape.

"Indeed, before we complete the great cause of unifying Kyushu, we should really pay attention to it. Don't be careless. Don't be careless. My dear, you really pay attention to details."

He hugged the Taoist nun lewdly and kissed him. The Heavenly Concubine Xuannv on the side rolled his eyes at him. This kind of clone body was originally meaningless, but looking at it like this felt weird. The angle of view was weird. Watching herself being kissed by her own man. , and can feel like being kissed.

"Details determine success or failure. Isn't it just because of the details that I lost to you again and again, and finally I was defeated by you? Thinking about it, I should pay more attention to these places."

Xuannv sighed, not saying that details determine success or failure, but mistakes in details did affect the trend of the event, and the typical example was herself.

"Why, you can't fall into my hands, aren't you happy?" Zhuang Xun chuckled and scratched Taoist nun Xuannv's armpit.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'm happy. I'm happy to be by your side. Hold your hand." Taoist nun Xuannv dodged Zhuang Xun's tickling.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here to recruit a concubine?" As soon as Li Shaoyun came in, she saw Zhuang Xun flirting with the Taoist nun, but looking at the smile of Xuannv's aunt on the side, she suppressed the confusion in her heart.

"This is the surrender condition obtained by Jing Guo. Do you have anything to add?" When Li Shaoyun came, Zhuang Xun stopped fooling around with the familiar Taoist nun and took the letter from Xuannv's hand. To Li Shaoyun.

"Congratulations to your majesty, you have achieved great success as the king of Kyushu." Li Shaoyun looked at it and knelt down excitedly to congratulate Zhuang Xun.

"It's not that exaggerated. There are still many difficulties. The aristocratic family is deeply rooted. There are still armored men in the Zheng Kingdom. There may be powerful ones in other countries..."

Zhuang Xun felt that Li Shaoyun's actions were exaggerated. He hadn't captured Yuzhou yet, and now he wanted to open the champagne. Thinking about how he had won the battle with 2,000 Tiance troops against 8,000 Xuanjia troops before, Zhuang Xun now I don’t believe in any words of victory.

"No, now that it's done, the great dragon of Xia Kingdom has become. The Jin Yiwei is also very powerful, able to incite so many people and create so many uprisings."

Xuannv made her own judgment and looked at Zhuang Xun's cautious look and reassured her that if only half of Jing's soldiers could be converted, Xia's army would have 200,000 Xuanjia troops, which would be enough to wipe out the world. No country can resist.

"Jinyiwei is able to incite, isn't it because these aristocratic families are not good people, occupy the wealth of society, and do not allocate a little bit to the people. If it is really an extraordinary world, they are just mortals. No one wants to be born to suffer."

Zhuang Xun said with emotion that no one was born with the intention of dedicating everything to the official. Zhuang Xun just gave the lower class a chance to make a leap. He didn't think it was anything, but to the people who were really in dire straits, Zhuang Xun was nothing. Now is the time for a god to descend to earth, because everyone thinks he is.

"But in the end, of all the kings, only your Majesty is willing to give up profits to help these poor people. You talk about how much you love the people, but in fact you are not willing to give away even half of the benefits. You even suck out the bones and marrow. The people are not fools. What you say is different from what you do. You can’t hide it after all, the sun will always rise.”

Li Shaoyun said with deep understanding that after feeling the style of Xia State, if you return to the way of governing the country by a family, you will not be popular with the people and you will not be liked.

"Okay, okay, Concubine Shu, do you see any problem? If not, send it back. Accept the surrender as soon as possible. The night will be long and the dream will be long."

Zhuang Xun didn't want to think about any changes, nor did he want to discuss future problems or set any big ambitions. There was no need for him to draw the cake now.

"I have no objection. Please accept the surrender as soon as possible. When Zheng Guo reacts, it will be bad and something unexpected will happen." Li Shaoyun handed back the letter. After hearing Zhuang Xun's words, she also wanted to settle down as soon as possible. The conditions were not special. trap.

It can be said that it is almost Xinzhuangxun's character, because after the military power is handed over, what will happen after that is not the final say of King Jing's family.

If the conditions are not too excessive, Zhuang Xun can agree to it. He is already very sincere. He still has 70,000 cavalry in his hands, and Zhuang Xun will not get any benefit even if he kills him or kills him.

"That's it, please send a message to the general and Concubine Jiang." Zhuang Xun walked to the desk, wrote the letter, and handed it to Lan Qiu to kiss her to deliver the letter.

"As commanded, I will leave." Lan Qiu accepted the letter, hugged her hands and accepted the order, then turned around and left to deliver the letter, as Zhuang Xun said, to avoid long nights and dreams.

"Wait a minute!" Zhuang Xun suddenly thought of something and stopped Lan Qiu, telling her not to leave yet. He had something to explain. "Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?" Lan Qiu was a little confused and stopped. Zhuang Xun came closer and closer with her big moist eyes.

"You've worked hard during this period, my beauty." Zhuang Xun stepped forward and kissed Lan Qiu's cheek. Now he can lie in Xuan Nu's arms and listen to Xuan Nu's singing. It is indispensable without the help of people like Lan Qiu. He is not a slave. Lord, he can see this kind of dedication.

They kissed in front of Li Shaoyun and Xuan Nu. Suddenly, Lan Qiu's face turned red and she glanced at Xuan Nu, who was smiling lightly. Lan Qiu felt a sense of shame in her heart.

"Yes!" He replied softly, and his movements were like a deer bumping around, lowering his head and escaping. It was fine in front of Empress Dowager Jiang, but his face really felt warm in front of Xuan Nu.

"There are rumors that Your Majesty is good at seducing women. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it a little bit." Li Shaoyun looked at the direction where Lan Qiu disappeared. There was no jealousy, but she felt a little funny.

"It's true. How could you not believe it? Queen, your sister, you and me, none of us are obedient and obedient to the treatment. Even if the rumors are made out of nothing, there must be some clues."

Xuan Nu covered her mouth and smiled. Zhuang Xun did not intend to hide these actions from them. This scene made Xuan Nu think of herself. She was also so shy when they kissed for the first time, but the reason for Lan Qiu's shame was different from hers.

"Indeed, after all, it takes great ability to fall in love with so many beauties. Now that the two states of Kyushu are in the hands of His Majesty, Your Majesty is about to establish a new dynasty of Kyushu."

Li Shaoyun said with emotion that it was not only the unification of Jizhou, but also the unification of the world. It was hard to imagine that Zhuang Xun's views on Zhuang Xun when they first met were still in the same country.

"The State of Zheng has not moved yet. I am wondering whether I should take over the State of Zheng in one go, or whether I should recuperate for a while and digest the land of the original Zhao State and the land of Jing State. If I take too big a step, will I fall down and eat it? If it’s too much, I won’t be able to eat it.”

If we win Jingguo, should we consider Zhengguo? One hand is still slowly nibbling away, and Zhuang Xun feels a little confused.

"Take your time, don't be in a hurry. The worry should be about Zheng Guo. Hearing Jing Guo's surrender, the kings and ministers of Zheng Guo don't know if they can sleep."

Xuannv is not in a hurry. To put it bluntly, she has lived for so long and has never seen anything. There is no need to rush now. Zhao Guo and Jing Guo have been digested steadily. Zheng Guo is just sitting in jail. Sooner or later He must be captured.

"I shouldn't be able to sleep, but the people of Zheng State revolted in response to us. I think we have an obligation to help them so that they can enjoy the benefits of the new law as soon as possible."

Zhuang Xun also laughed. In the past, they were so weak that they couldn't sleep, but now they were so strong that other countries couldn't sleep. After thinking about it, he decided to destroy Zheng State with all his strength. He also felt pity for the people of Zheng State.

He felt guilty enough that the people of Zhao State failed to respond last time. This time he has the strength, so let's solve it together, so that he can win Yuzhou as a whole.

"So Your Majesty, you are a wise king and a benevolent monarch. How can other monarchs compare with you? If Zheng Guo and Jing Guo also had this idea, they would not be causing chaos in the country now."

Xuannv praised that there was no distinction between before and after, but Zhuang Xun taught Xuannv a lesson in a down-to-earth manner. Xuannv was not the kind of talker that Bi Yuewu was. If Zhuang Xun did the right thing, she would be able to praise her to the heavens. , doesn’t care that I was wrong before.

"Come on, let's look at Jing Guo's situation first. If there is another temporary change of mind, it's up to the other party whether he will agree to the condition of freedom from imprisonment. If he doesn't agree, everything is false, or they are killing him for Zheng Guo. Just wait for Prince Jing to arrive in Jinyang before thinking about such a long-term matter..."

However, Zhuang Xun's worries were somewhat unnecessary. His revised opinions were fully accepted by Prince Jing. Zhuang Xun did not let Prince Jing's family go free because he was not planning to kill them. He agreed to everything. On the contrary, it seemed that Zhuang Xun had no good intentions, because this was the best. Deceived Jing Jun into his trap.

As soon as Jing's army surrendered, there was no obstacle for Xia's army. The army poured into the entire Jing Kingdom, captured cities and territories, joined the peasant uprising, and adopted old methods against the resisting families.

The news of Jing's army's surrender shocked both the government and the public. Jing Guo was no longer able to organize an army capable of confronting Xia Guo.

There are still county soldiers who can suppress the peasant rebellion in the country, and the heavy soldiers of the aristocratic families who protect the big cities, but the Xuanjia Army of the Xia Kingdom is really unbeatable, even if it takes away all the family wealth.

King Jing saw that the situation was over, and the ministers of the aristocratic family also changed their attitude from preferring death to surrender to surrender, and their property was probably almost transferred.

When the Xia army came to the city, King Jing had no choice but to surrender the city. The whole process took less than two months and was overwhelming. King Jing was treated politely because Prince Jing had surrendered long ago and he did not resist stubbornly.

He was ordered to come to Jinyang to pay homage to Zhuang Xun, and became a minister of the Xia Kingdom. He also issued a surrender edict to ask various places to give up resistance.

Everything went smoothly, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Xia Jun slowly took over Jingguo. Officials trained from Xiaguo also came to Zhao and Jingguo to preside over the distribution of land and explain the new law.

After hearing that Zhuang Xun's order was to continue to capture the state of Zheng to alleviate the poverty of the local people and leave some to suppress the rebellions in the state of Jing, everyone was gearing up and preparing to test the sword against the state of Zheng.

Especially the generals of the Zhao State and those who surrendered wanted to have a bright future in the new dynasty. In a sense, the Zheng State was the strongest opponent of the Xia State. All the aristocratic families could have 100,000 armored men with the strength of the whole country. Moreover, Jingguo also escaped a lot, at least 10,000 people.

The number was only one-third of Xia's army. After all, Jing State was not Zhao State, and no Queen Mother Jiang could control the battlefield. The surrendered Jing Army temporarily defected, and Xia State could not bear it, so it did not absorb Jing Jun.

This is a desperate situation. The Zheng family and the royal family's army have no way out at this time. Although Xia Guo has the upper hand in this battle, it should not be underestimated. Zhuang Xun does not want to make a joke of everyone being defeated and be overturned like this, so he emphasizes that first Rest.

But the generals all wanted to make meritorious deeds, and Zhuang Xun's order catered to their tastes to a certain extent. They were all waiting to finish repairing and start the journey to destroy Zheng. Everyone was looking forward to getting the position they wanted in the victory over Zheng. .

It's a pity that not everyone can have Zhuang Xun's ability to withstand pressure. Facing the invincible Zhao State, not everyone has the courage to lead the poor and wield a sword.

When King Jing entered Jinyang and surrendered, the envoy from Zheng also came and handed over a letter of surrender. After hearing the conditions of Jing's surrender, Zheng was moved and asked for more food than the king and to keep all the internal funds. .
