Chapter 323
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Kai and some Jin generals surrendered one after another, and the only thousand Jin troops left in the county magistrate's mansion also laid down their weapons.
The Qin army immediately took the county magistrate's office, imprisoned the prisoners, and completely occupied the entire Puyang.
After some tests, the Jin army captured about 60,000 prisoners.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but think deeply about the way these people deal with them.
That night, he began to hold a banquet in the county government to entertain surrendered generals of the Jin army.
In other words, he invited all the core generals of the Jin army, including the county magistrate Zhang Chengfang.
These people have a certain degree of cohesion in the army. To put it simply, with them, they can gather the prisoners at any time and gather them together.
After being captured, all the armor and weapons of these people were confiscated, wearing only the cloak of the body, saying that they were invited, but in fact there was no difference between being arrested.
At the banquet scene, there were many soldiers. Xiao Yuan was located directly above the main position, Xu Hu was hanging a sword on his waist, standing at his lower hand, and then on both sides of the lower body, there were several cases listed separately.
All the generals of the Jin army did not know the intention of the King of Qin. After arriving here, they were also carefully looking around.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled heartily, and directly reached out and said, "Don't stand, please take a seat."
"This... thank Your Highness Qin." People could only salute and then sit down carefully.
Soon, the wine and food were served one by one by the sergeant.
Each person has a case in front of him, with roast chicken and fine wine.
Seeing this scene, people couldn't help but look at each other.
Zhou Kai couldn't help it and bowed and said, "Your Highness, I don't know what happened to summon us this time."
"Let you be just a feast for the dead." Xiao Yuan did not shy away.
"What!?"
Although his tone was light and quiet, how could this be in the ears of the generals of the Jin army not be surprised!
In amazement, many people couldn't help but stand up.
But as soon as they made such a move, a large number of Qin soldiers behind them had already pressed the handle of the knife and pulled out half of the sword.
The sound of unsheathing was pulled tight, and everyone's hearts were tight, and they swallowed hard and sat down slowly.
"It's outrageous!" At this time, a Jin general sitting in front slapped the table, then pointed at Xiao Yuan, and said angrily:
"The King of Qin is a treacherous person..."
He looked angry and embarrassed, and pointed at Xiao Yuan, as if he wanted to vent his anger, but before he finished speaking, Xu Hu had already unsheathed his sword.
“Bold!”
With a loud shout, the cold light followed, and the Jin general didn't even react and fell directly into the table.
Blood flowed along his neck and the table was filled with blood.
"Ah!?" Seeing this, Zhou Kai and others took a breath and their faces turned pale.
Zhang Chengfang wanted to get up tremblingly, but his body softened, and he knelt on the ground with a thud and said in a crying voice:
"District... Your Highness spares your life... Let the villain have a way out..."
Zhou Kai said with an ugly expression: "Your Highness, King Qin, we have all surrendered, why are we killed all of us?"
"Surrender?" Xiao Yuan sneered and said, "I have given you a chance before. The bamboo slips are written clearly. Whoever wants to open a city to surrender will be guaranteed to have a high official and a generous salary, but what about you? Surrender
Is it?"
"Puyang's fall was captured by our Qin soldiers! When you were defeated, you finally remembered to surrender, but at this moment, what is the significance of this king!"
"Tell you the truth! Today, if Nian Zaiyou and others were all generals in the army and wanted you to die more decently, why would this be the king?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan also shook his sleeves and stood up and left.
Seeing this, Zhou Kai and others felt at the bottom of the valley.
There is no doubt that they cannot resist at all, and that will only lead to death even worse!
And Zhang Chengfang was still crying loudly there: "Your Highness, please spare me! Your Highness, please spare me..."
But no one has paid attention to him anymore.
Xiao Yuan had to kill these core generals of the Jin army, but he could not use them. If he stayed, there would be future troubles.
He is not a rude person, and he will never hesitate if he should be killed.
After careful consideration of the 60,000 Jin army prisoners of war, he ordered Zhang Dashan to escort them all to Beiling County.
At the same time, he also wrote a letter to the magistrate of Beiling County, telling the latter to incorporate these young and strong people into their local household registration, dismiss them for the people, divide them into wastelands, and let them cultivate themselves. If they have no ploughing tools, they will lend them to them
.
They were also allowed to take all their families and from then on, they would be treated as the people of Qin.
In this way, as prisoners of war, the soldiers of the Jin army not only did not receive enslavement, but instead had a new life. It is conceivable how could they not be willing to do so?
From the Beiling to Qinguan, due to the previous invasion and massacre by the Western Rong, the population was scarce and mostly elderly, young, women and children. This is very problematic for guarding the border.
Xiao Yuan has been solving this problem. Now the 60,000 prisoners of Jin army are all young men. After settling down, with Qin's policy, they are likely to notify their families and let their parents, wife and children come.
In this way, even if the average family of five is calculated, the population growth of 200,000 to 300,000 is still a certain effect on Beiling's development.
Xiao Yuan was very serious about this matter. In his letter to the Beiling County Magistrate, he even made a stern explanation, so that he must do it well.
After receiving the king's order, the latter dared not be negligent, so he immediately started to prepare.
After dealing with these, Xiao Yuan rested for several days in Puyang and began to march eastward again, preparing to gather all the troops to capture Xuzhou!
At this time, the total combat power of the Central Army of Jin was less than 160,000, with 100,000 in Xuzhou and 60,000 in Yangping Pass.
After Xuzhou, it was not far from Jin, and Jin State had no more maneuvering power.
So Xiao Yuan's desire to win at this time was actually very anxious because he was afraid of something unexpected.
After Puyang was occupied by the Qin army, the intelligence was transmitted back to various countries. King Liang immediately ordered Xue Wu to quickly break through Yangping Pass at all costs and stop making small fuss with Ren Ying.
He made this decision, which was entirely worried that the Qin army would attack the capital of Jin first. You must know that the Jin State has many generations of heritage and wealth in the capital, and it will inevitably be as good as a mountain of gold and silver.
After Xue Wu received the order of King of Kings, he immediately showed his fierce side in war style.
Under the order of his iron-blooded army, the Liang army began to take turns to launch a sharp offensive against Yangping Pass. It can be said that a group of people died, and they immediately filled in a group, and continued to continue.
At the same time, when King Huan saw that Puyang was lost and Jin State was on the verge of collapse, he also went out of Shangjun and took this place lightly.
Before Jin State, if there was a win situation, the countries might not move.
But once they fall into a desperate situation, the surrounding countries will not take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and steal their territory.
