Chapter 1278: Joining Caizhou
Chapter 1278 Meeting with Caizhou
After a series of battles such as the main force of the Spirit Army was defeated in decisive battles, chasing, siege and breaking through, and so on. To this day, there are only about 100,000 left in the 400,000 army.
At this point, Murong Yan surrendered.
A large number of Qin troops began to enter Feiyuntan from the northern line.
Generals from various units of the Ling Army stood at the forefront of the team. Leaded by Murong Yan, they saw the Qin army formation not far away. There were also spiritual generals who began to command the headquarters: "Put down the weapons, put down the weapons..."
The soldiers of the Spirit Army, who were already scattered and hungry and dizzy, received this order, and there was no resistance. The scene was filled with the sound of weapons falling from the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Murong Yan tidied up his clothes, took the generals to Xiao Yuan, lifted his robe, knelt on one knee, and said, "Murong Yan, the defeated general, will meet His Highness the King of Qin."
"Your Highness, the divine literature and holy martial arts, have a million troops, and are invincible in battle, and are invincible in the battle. You will be able to conquer the light of fireflies. How dare you compete with the sun and the moon? Now you lead your troops to surrender and ask your Highness to accept it."
At this time, Murong Yan did not forget to flatter him, obviously trying to find a way out for himself.
As he spoke, he also took out the handsome seal tiger talisman, knelt there, and handed it with both hands respectfully.
Xiao Yuan signaled to Xu Hu, who stepped forward and took over the seal of the coach.
This surrender ceremony was not that complicated, and there was no negotiation. After doing this, Xiao Yuan also smiled on his face and personally helped Murong Yan up: "General, please get up quickly."
He was very easy-going and also reached out to the generals of the Ling Army and said, "Everyone is welcome to ask you to come up soon. Now I am willing to surrender. I am very happy and have someone ready for a banquet. Please follow me back to the camp and stop drunk.
”
The Ling Army has not had a full meal for many days, and the generals of various departments are no exception. When they hear the wine and meat, they can't help swallowing their saliva out of human instinct.
Xiao Yuan left with the generals of the Ling Army, and the soldiers of the Ling Army were confiscated by the Qin army as surrendered prisoners and temporarily held them under custody.
Evening banquet.
In the military tent, Xiao Yuan was located directly above the main position, and on both sides were surrendered generals of the Ling Army, and each case was placed in front of people.
The wine and food were already served, Xiao Yuan also picked up the wine glass and said gently: "You all led your troops to surrender to avoid the unnecessary bleeding of the soldiers on both sides. They all have made contributions to the country. Come and please drink this cup."
"Ah, please..."
People were holding the cups one after another, but they felt a little upset and didn't dare to drink them first. Some even subconsciously looked at each other.
Xiao Yuan did think about disposing of the generals of the Ling Army, but was stopped by Jia You. He suggested that he be the main force and take Murong Yan as a typical example, and that he would benefit from the weak position and further attack the morale of the Caizhou army and even the resistance in Lingguo.
Heart.
Xiao Yuan adopted the advice of the adviser.
After saying that, he covered his mouth with his sleeve and was the first to drink the wine in his glass.
He was the king, so he personally invited the wine and was the first to drink. No matter how worried the generals of the Lingjun were, they had to bite the bullet and toast them one by one.
"Happy." Xiao Yuan smiled heartily, put down his wine glass, and reached out again, "Don't be restrained, come and eat."
It was not until a long time later that the generals of the Spirit Army calmed down and let go of their hands and feet, and began to eat meat and drink with big bowls. There were also sounds of squeezing and drinking at the scene.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Xiao Yuan looked at Murong Yan and said straight to the point: "General Murong, because you are willing to participate in the great cause, I have been thinking about it over and over again and decided to give you the Marquis of Guiyi and other generals.
, there are also corresponding arrangements. Let’s see how it is."
"Ah?" Murong Yan was stunned at first, then reacted, quickly put down his wine glass and left his seat, walked to the middle in panic, and knelt on the ground, put his hands on his head, and raised his butt, saying tremblingly: "
I, what kind of virtue can you do? If you receive this king's kindness, you will be tragic and serve the king-"
There was an uncontrollable excitement in his tone. His appearance was servile, not like the commander of a 400,000 army, but he changed his words directly.
In Murong Yan's opinion, it would be great if he could save his life after surrendering. He never thought of getting a title, so how could he not be excited?
Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "With the general's talent and status, he should be accepted by this Lord. Please be exempted from the gift."
"I, I swear to be loyal to the king!" Murong Yan kowtowed again and shouted loudly: "King Wannian--"
The atmosphere of this banquet was pretty good, at least on the surface.
After the scene ended, the generals of the Ling Army were also arranged to live in their own separate residences, but the guards outside the account were naturally all Qin troops, which restricted their personal freedom.
The next day, Xiao Yuan ordered the withdrawal of the Qin army stationed at various important roads and began to advance in full swing. The various troops met. The situation in Baiting and Liupanshan remained unchanged. Yan Qi and Sun Qi still suppressed the two wings of Caizhou. The main force of the Qin army
He was preparing to face the city.
After mobilizing troops from various battlefields, the Qin army gathered more than 500,000 troops and began to set up camps twenty miles outside Caizhou City, ready to launch a strong attack on this city at any time.
At this time, the issue of handling prisoners of war was also raised.
In the central army's tent, all the generals gathered and stood on both sides.
Su Yi took the lead and said: "Murong Yan's 100,000 prisoners are all regular troops of the Ling Kingdom. They have been through the battlefield for a long time, and staying is always a disaster. Once they disband on the spot, they fled back to Ling Kingdom and they may become Ling Army again.
In detention, our army not only needs to share its energy, but also waste food and grass. In the opinion of the minister, it is better to pull down the riverside and behead them all."
This is the cleanest way to deal with it.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Wenruo stood up and said in a bad tone: "Super Su killed prisoners several times, and the consequences can be seen!"
"Every time Lord Shangguan serves as a military advisor, he is always kind to a woman!" Su Yi said, and bowed to Xiao Yuan: "King, only in this way can we eliminate future troubles."
Before Xiao Yuan could speak, Shangguan Wenruo had already retorted: "The nations have been fighting for hegemony for more than a hundred years, wars have started everywhere, and their youth and strength have dropped sharply. Those are the ones who are a total of 100,000 young men, who are beheaded together, so how can their wives and children survive!
And if you surrender, you will be killed, and the whole world will be disappointed!"
"This is a problem of Ling Kingdom, not a problem of Qin Kingdom." Su Yi said coldly.
"This is also a problem of people's livelihood in the world!" Shangguan Wenruo said.
"But war is war!"
"The ultimate goal of war is to make peace in the world!"
The two of them were arguing. After saying that, they clasped their fists at Xiao Yuan and asked in unison: "Master!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan was so quarreled that he was very serious and said seriously: "There is no need to mention the killing of prisoners. Tongling Xijiang, Liangzhou, Chuzhou, and Tongzhou can transport these 100,000 prisoners to all places.
Let them immigrate to guard the border, protect the water conservancy of the water, and use it for the people."
"The king is wise." Shangguan Wenruo immediately said: "In this way, the whole world will return to his heart. When the war is over, these prisoners can also bring their wives, children and parents, and settle down and take root."
"But the king."
Su Yi wanted to say something, but Xiao Yuan had already glared at him. The latter could only lower his body and swallow the words on his lips.
Chapter completed!
