Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 239 After the War
"Quick! Search for me carefully! Don't let any enemy go." Li Songjun's soldiers, under the command of their respective corporal commanders, division commanders, and team leaders, were digging deep to find the traces of Guo Tu and others.

"Found it!" An exclamation came, and Guo Tu was the first to be discovered. The soldiers who searched around heard the news and rushed towards Guo Tu and his guards.

The guards rushed towards these soldiers without fear of death, and were soon overwhelmed by the army, and finally all fell in a pool of blood. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how hard the weak force struggles, it cannot escape the fate of being wiped out. In the end, Guo Tu was the only one left, and was captured alive by the soldiers of Li Songjun.

Feng Ji, Xun Chen and others were not spared either!In the end, all of them were found. After they were tied up by Wuhuada, they were imprisoned and waited for Li Song to enter the city before dealing with these people.

The sky gradually brightened, and the sun slowly rose from the east, and the first ray of sunlight fell on the land. All the resistance forces in Yecheng were wiped out. When Li Songjun was at dawn, Xiang Yu and others completely controlled the land. Yecheng was regarded as the capital by Yuan Shao.

In the early morning, Li Song led the army into this fortified city, which was built with Yuan Shao's countless painstaking efforts. Even after the baptism of war, it still cannot conceal its magnificence!
Li Song came to Yuan Shao's General Zuo's Mansion (Yuan Shao's official position was General Zuo), and was surprised by the grandeur of the General's Mansion. Although Yuan Shao's General's Mansion was called a mansion, it was built with the style of an imperial palace.

When he came to the main hall, Li Song walked up the steps paved with white marble, sat in Yuan Shao's seat, and looked at the civil and military staff standing on both sides of the hall, feeling quite as if the emperor was in court.

"Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan were able to break through Yecheng so easily this time. The truth is that Jiao Touch was granted the title of General of Anbei and Commander of Dashu on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Zhang Nan was named General of Dingbei and Commander of Dashu. , I hope you two will serve the imperial court a lot, and the imperial court has its own rewards, and it will never treat you badly." After everyone saluted, Li Song awarded Jiao Jiao and Zhang Nan their rewards.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan rushed out to pay respects.

"Get up without courtesy!" Li Song said, Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan got up and returned to their seats. As long as the two of them do more meritorious service in the future, they will definitely be named as marquises sooner or later.

"This expedition against Yuan Shao, all of you here are also indispensable. You have made great contributions to the imperial court, and the imperial court will reward you all."

"Xue Rengui!" Li Song shouted, Xue Rengui hurried out, came to the middle of the main hall, bowed his hands to Li Song, Li Song continued: "This Northern Expedition, you have managed well, you should be the first one! Appoint you as the general, Taiwei, Feng Liehou, five hundred households in Shiyi."

"Chen Xueli thanked the prime minister for the reward!" Xue Rengui hurriedly thanked him, and returned to his seat after thanking him.

Immediately afterwards, Li Song gave certain rewards to Luo Cheng, Xiao Mohe, Xiang Yuyu Wencheng and others. Among them, except for Xue Rengui, there was one person in the ranks and five in the Guannei. The rest had different rewards. The firehead army has all become partial generals.

"Okay! Everyone be quiet!" Naturally, everyone was happy to receive the award!They congratulated each other, and Li Song waved them to be quiet. After the rewards were awarded, it was natural to discuss matters related to Yecheng.

"What are the casualties of our army in capturing Yecheng this time?" Li Song asked.

"Report to the Prime Minister!" Su Dingfang came out, bowed his hands and saluted: "This time we took Yecheng, because of the two generals Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan as internal support, our army basically did not die, ten were seriously injured, and slightly injured. 120 people."

"Beheaded 3000 stubborn enemies, surrendered more than [-] soldiers, and captured Yuan Shao's civil and military staff. Guo Tu and Feng Ji were shot and killed by crossbowmen among the rebellious army." Su Dingfang said, and returned to himself s position.

"What about the arsenals and granaries in Yecheng? How many households are left in Yecheng?" Li Song continued to ask.

"Report to the Prime Minister!" Jiao Touch hastily came out, bowed his hands and said, "The granary in Yecheng has long been empty of food and grass, and the arsenal has been abandoned for a long time. The population of Yecheng is two-thirds less than the original, and most of the rest are missing. .”

That is to say, there are basically no supplies in Yecheng, and the population has dropped sharply. Yecheng can be said to be poor and empty.

"Zhongda! All matters in Yecheng will be handled by you. You will be in charge of appeasing the people of Yecheng, repairing the damaged parts of Yecheng, farming and restoring commerce and other internal affairs." Li Song said to Sima Yi.

"No!" Sima Yi came out, bowed his hands and saluted, "Don't worry, Prime Minister! I will definitely restore Yecheng to its original appearance."

After handing over all the internal affairs to Sima Yi, the next thing to solve is the issue of compensation for the dead soldiers, the placement of the newly surrendered soldiers, and the personnel transfer of the local officials in the counties of Jizhou.

After all these are resolved, the issue of the prisoners of war will be dealt with. Li Song ordered Guo Tu and others to be brought up, "Bring up all of Yuan Shao's staff!"

"Meet the prime minister! Don't kneel down yet!" After a while, Guo Tu and the others were brought up. Seeing that they were standing in the hall without a trace of respect, Jiao Touch yelled at them.

Chen Lin and other people who were not so loyal to Yuan Shao but wanted to find another way out, heard Jiao Touch's roar and hurriedly knelt down!For fear of offending Li Song.

Jushou, Shenpei and other staff loyal to Yuan Shao were very disdainful of the two traitors, Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan, and Shenpei said: "I don't know where the dog is barking. It is a disgrace to be in the same palace as you fellows who betray their masters and seek glory."

"Hmph!" Zhang Nan snorted softly, dissatisfied with the judges and others, because he was the same as Jiao Chu, "Yuan Shao perverted! Heaven's laws can't be tolerated! I'm just waiting for the dark, what's wrong!"

"Among you people, you were still under Jizhou Mu Hanfu's subordinates. When Yuan Shao captured Jizhou in the past, you didn't see you waiting for righteousness! It's a pity that Chang Shi Gengwu, don't drive Minchun."

The implication of Zhang Nan's words is that in fact, you are just like us, all of you are the generation of sellers seeking glory.

Ju Shou and other former Han Fu's subordinates were very angry after hearing this, especially when they heard the names of Geng Wu and Min Chun, they sighed helplessly. South as well.

The stain of betraying the master cannot be washed away. At the beginning Yuan Shao forced Han Fu to give up Jizhou, and the two planned to assassinate Yuan Shao, but who knew that the assassination would not work, the two died at the hands of Tian Feng, and they never asked for mercy until the moment they died.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Chu behind Li Song ordered the guards in the main hall to come forward after receiving Li Song's instructions, and forced them to kneel on the ground. Kneel on the ground.
