The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 890 Return [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

The surrender negotiations went exceptionally smoothly, which shocked some of the clan leaders of Zuo Xianwang's tribe who came along.

Bingzhou did not kill them or seize their rights, and even allowed them to continue to control the tribe, but the requirement was that they must join Bingzhou and help Bingzhou transform Zuoxianwang's tribe into Bingzhou Changshan County.

Similarly, Bingzhou would not appoint too many officials to supervise them, but would select suitable managers from their respective tribes to control their own tribes.

This made the already fragile resistance of Zuo Xian Wang's tribe disappear without a trace in an instant.

According to their plan, even if Bingzhou accepted their surrender, they would undergo a major replacement and losing power was inevitable, and they were mentally prepared.

However, Bingzhou not only did not kill them, but also allowed them to continue to manage the tribe.

"Little Prince, is Bingzhou trying to trick the dog into killing it?" On the way back to the Qiaobashan camp, the tribal leaders were a little frightened.

The negotiations went so smoothly that they became suspicious.

What if Bingzhou deliberately forced them to lay down their weapons and then killed them all? They would not even have a chance to resist.

"No, Bingzhou is targeting the entire Donghu. If they trick us into surrendering and then kill us all, who in the entire Donghu would dare to surrender? Bingzhou will never do such a thing to kill all the fish in the pond."

"On the contrary, Bingzhou did this on purpose to make us an example to other Donghu tribes, telling them that as long as they are willing to surrender, Bingzhou will forgive their past mistakes and will retain their power."

Bao Ketu explained with a smile.

The tribal leaders thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

If they were to surrender by trickery, the entire Donghu would fight to the death, and no one would dare to have second thoughts, which would not be a good thing for Bingzhou.

On the contrary, by using both kindness and force, the people in the rear could see that even if they surrendered, they would not be brutally killed by Bingzhou, and could even guarantee their current power. So who would work for the royal court again?
"Bingzhou needs stability and capable people, so when you go back, recommend talented people from your respective tribes."

"Although Bingzhou allows us to select suitable people to serve as officials in Changshan County of Bingzhou, it will not allow unqualified people to occupy high positions."

Bao Ketu continued.

The tribal leaders nodded and all had suitable candidates in mind.

Although they were planning to recommend their relatives before Bao Ketu reminded them, they became alert after Bao Ketu reminded them.

They didn't understand Bingzhou's system of recommendation before, but Han Xin had just explained it to them.

If something goes wrong with the person who made the recommendation, the person who made the recommendation will be implicated.

Whoever recommends, takes responsibility!
After returning to the Chobsan camp, the tribal chiefs handed over the lists of recommended people to Baoktu.

Bao Ketu looked through it carefully and found that almost all members of the Xuanzi spy group were on the recommendation list. There were also a few who were not on the list. After a little thought, he could guess that some people did not take his words to heart and were still hoping for a lucky break.

However, these are minor issues. When the army leaves the camp to accept the surrender and Changshan County is established, he will have the final say on who to use.

"Father, give the order!" Bao Ketu went to see Zuo Xian King.

Zuo Xian Wang sighed and nodded.

"Order everyone to lay down your weapons and leave the camp to accept the surrender of the Bingzhou army."

"Yes!" Bao Ketu turned and left the king's tent, arranging the work of going out of the camp to accept the surrender.

At the foot of Qiaoba Mountain, the Red Flame Cavalry Heavy Infantry Battalion also received a military order from the rear and went to Qiaoba Mountain Camp to accept the surrender of the Donghu army. "Those whose names are read, step out!" The captain of the Red Flame Cavalry Heavy Infantry Battalion looked at the roster in his hand. These were their comrades lurking among the enemy, so it was impossible for them to stay in the prisoner camp like those surrendered soldiers.

Everyone looked at the captain of the heavy infantry battalion in confusion, wondering what he was going to do with these people.

However, after laying down their weapons, they did not dare to raise any thoughts of resistance and only hoped that they would not be on the list.

In their opinion, it was obvious that these people who were named would never come back.

So when their names were read out one by one and they were taken away, the remaining people buried their heads in their crotches, fearing that they would be carried out by the heavy infantry around them.

"Take the rest of the people into the prisoner camp and wait for the county magistrate to come." After the captain of the heavy infantry camp confirmed that all the people on the list had been brought out, he waved his hand and ordered his men to take all the Donghu soldiers into custody separately.

"Bingzhou, the Captain of the Red Flame Cavalry Heavy Infantry Battalion, Gongyang Zijia, greets all my colleagues!"

After everyone left, the captain of the heavy infantry battalion also took off his mask and saluted solemnly to the people who were left behind.

"Bingzhou Military Control Commission's Xuan's Secret Agent Group, Yang Ling, Li Qingqing... meet the general!" The Xuan's Secret Agents, whose identities had been restored, also gave their real names in return.

"Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work! Everyone, salute!"

Gongyang Zijia suddenly gave orders to all the soldiers.

"Bang, bang, bang~" All the soldiers of the heavy infantry battalion beat their chests with their right hands and saluted to everyone.

They also realized that this battle was fought so smoothly because these comrades in front of them had been lurking in Donghu several years ago and provided countless intelligence to their army and the court.

A group of lurking spies, watching this solemn military salute, instantly had their eyes red.

"It's a pity that many of my comrades couldn't wait until this day!" Yang Ling suddenly sighed.

As undercover spies, they did not know each other's identities, but when they first came to Donghu to lurk, they had a rough guess about how many people there were. But now, less than one-third of them were still standing here.

The originally joyful atmosphere disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Yes, that’s a lot of names on the list, but is that really the only number on the original list?
"Please forgive me for spoiling everyone's joy by my return today!" Yang Ling also realized that he was a little disappointed and quickly spoke up to brighten the mood.

"Perhaps the team leader knows who they are. After the war is settled, we will go to the National Cemetery to pay tribute to our comrades!" Li Qingqing also helped to recreate the lively atmosphere.

"Please come in, fellow heroes. The commander has already set up a banquet in the central army tent to welcome your return!" Gongyang Zijia also spoke hurriedly and led everyone to the central army tent of the Chiyan Cavalry.

Along the way, these spies who had been lurking for many years also asked about the current situation in Bingzhou.

Gongyang Zijia also told everyone everything he knew, and told everyone about the changes that had taken place in Bingzhou over the years.

"That's great!" Everyone sighed, it is their honor to serve such a country.

Who could have thought that a chess piece abandoned by the State of Zhao could suddenly become the greatest king on the grassland?

Who could have imagined that the young poisonous scholar would become the next emperor in the world since the Shang Dynasty!

"It's all worth it!" Everyone smiled at each other.
