After the Battle of Hongshan Pass, the generals ended up separately, and the soldiers of the Northern Army who surrendered were centrally managed.

Ji Ya began another military discussion at the Red Mountain Pass, and in this small hall, Ji Ya sat upright, and Monmonda, as the military judge and clerk, stood beside him.

Several generals sat on both sides, while some second-line generals sat in the second row, many of them were uneasy, they already knew the causes and consequences of this battle, in fact, Lu Fangliang also had some meaning with them before colluding with the rebellion. However, for various reasons, maybe she was scared, maybe she felt that Ji Ya was more stable with money and food, or maybe she couldn't make up her mind for a while. That is, they started faster, and if they were three or five days late, maybe they would be moved.

It is precisely because of the ghosts in their hearts that many generals of the Southern Army are restless and pay more attention to what will happen next. But there are also people who followed Ji Ya early, because they have never wavered, so they are ready to share the fruits of victory with their heads held high at this moment, although their own merits are limited, but this time they will definitely have to deal with a group of people, maybe they can raise their positions, if they think about it again, maybe they can be transferred to a place with higher oil and water.

First, the generals at all levels reported the battle losses and results, and then Wu Yan reported on the military affairs and gains after taking over the Hongshan Pass. The generals of the Northern Army, who were finally caught, were taken up en masse and knelt there, and although half of them were killed in battle, there were still seven or eight people.

Ji Ya's fingers tapped on the chair, and the whole hall suddenly fell silent, just now there was no shortage of people who coaxed them to cut them, but Ji Ya didn't say anything immediately, and their voices faded. It's okay to stir up the atmosphere, but you must not call the shots for the chief. didn't know what Ji Ya meant, so they stopped insisting. And those kneeling generals of the Northern Army, each lowered their heads and didn't say anything, they also wanted to live, but Fan Jiya might have prostrate and begged for mercy if she revealed something. But now, there is a high probability that he will not survive. Although they really want to be heroes with their necks on their necks before they die, wouldn't it be wronged if there was a way to live, so they simply waited for Ji Ya's verdict.

Finally, Ji Ya's tapping sound stopped, and she said slowly: "I'm disappointed, really disappointed. I still remember the last great victory in Northern Xinjiang, when I was just a stupid little girl, watching my father banquet meritorious generals, I would only secretly watch the excitement. Speaking of this, Ji Ya smiled heartily.

"It was also that time that I met my master Anling Hou Lin Yue, who told me what this victory and the meaning of this banquet was, and it was also at that time that I really had a yearning for Northern Xinjiang, I believe that the establishment of the Beidaying was disabled in order to protect the Great Zhou and protect the Terrans, which is the hope of the Terrans. Therefore, when I lost my brother and mother, and experienced the turbulent times outside, I chose to build a happy land for the people in this land of hope...... But I'm disappointed! Look at the people kneeling here, who of you is not a hero of Northern Xinjiang, and who has not made great meritorious deeds? Now? Ask yourself, why are you opposing me? From the time you embezzled one military property after another in Northern Xinjiang, you were no longer a hero of this country. ”

Ji Ya got up and said: "I had the illusion that you just didn't agree with me, but the results of the investigation are like this? When you were taking advantage of your own pockets, the former robes were starving! When the entire military region was cut off from the imperial court and it was unsustainable, you actually colluded with outsiders to trade and resell military funds.

The kneeling people listened with their heads buried in their heads, they didn't understand these truths, but after they really became prisoners, they really re-examined what they had done, and now they think about what kind of demon they were looking for and came to this point.

Ji Ya sat down again, she said so much not to denounce these people, but for the following words: "I was really angry at the beginning, but who can blame this? The so-called troubled times, to put it mildly, there are no innocent people in this court from top to bottom, you have also shed blood for this country, I thank you, I will not kill you, let's even be enemies, according to the rules, you can redeem yourself with money, I allow you to keep 10% of the family property, and the rest should be atonement for all these years." In the future, you will no longer be from the military region, if you are willing to stay, take your family to be a rich man, if you are not willing to stay, the world will go with you. ”

Hearing Ji Ya's decision, many people breathed a sigh of relief, although they could only leave one percent of the property, but over the years of operation, none of them had a net worth of tens of thousands of taels, and some of them even had more than ten thousand taels, and the most mixed ones left one percent to say that there were thousands of eight hundred taels, in the Yunzhong Military Region or returning to their hometown to buy land, the rich and noble did not dare to say, and there was no problem with the well-off family. Princess Ji Ya had no intention of killing them, nor did she mean to embarrass them, it was much better than the worst she thought.

"Your Highness!" several people hurriedly thanked him, and a few people remained silent.

"Take them up first, and let them contact their families later. ”

Several people were taken aside, and four or five more people were escorted up, led by Lu Fangliang, the garrison of Laicheng, who was different from the previous ones, not only tied them more tightly but also covered their mouths and noses. Several people struggled as if begging for mercy.

Ji Ya said in a deep voice: "I am hostile to those people just now, and I can forgive them for using some means on the battlefield." I am not your original ruler, so I cannot judge or punish what they have done. But you are different, I ask myself that I have not treated anyone here badly, nor have I made the soldiers and civilians who have submitted to me even starving, so you tell me, why do you do such a thing?"

Lu Fangliang and the others struggled even more, but they just couldn't say a word, and the people around them looked at them dissatisfied, in fact, regardless of identity and gender, Princess Ji Ya was really good to them, and she worked tirelessly to transport money and food, so that some remote and small places in the Yunzhong Military Region would not be hungry for a meal, even those big-headed soldiers were also grateful because their families could drink a bowl of porridge for two meals a day.

Although Ji Ya's offensive has been frustrated in the past two days, its own advantage is still there, and it has also occupied three-fifths of the entire Yunzhong County.

But Lu Fangliang colluded with the Northern Army to rob the camp for his own selfishness, you must know that not only will this lose how much military funds will be lost, but also countless robes will be killed because of this, and the blood of the brothers will be exchanged for goods, and you can still take it with peace of mind!?

As Princess Ji Ya said, she can forgive the enemy, just because it is the enemy, but she must not forgive Lu Fangliang and the others, because they are traitors who eat inside and out.

Ji Ya asked coldly: "What is the crime of fornicating with foreign enemies and defecting before the battle?"

Monmonda stood up and said dryly: "The three clans of Che Crack and Yi are scattered!"

The punishment in the Yunzhong Military Region is generally higher than that outside, and this kind of behavior is no longer a problem for one person, and the entire family will be implicated.

Ji Ya closed her eyes, took a deep breath and made a decision: "Drag it down and carry out the execution in the afternoon, all the generals are present, General Ruan Yu, you will come to supervise the execution!"

Ruan Yu got up and said, "Yes, the last general will take the order!" Originally, she thought that Ji Ya was going to start the benevolence of women again, but she didn't expect that this time the order would be so decisive, and she must not be soft on traitors, she was happy to do this.

These are actually the suggestions given by Monmonda before, first of all, we must stand on the moral high ground, and secondly, take everyone to recall some of the past, so that the estrangement between everyone is weakened, and then take the opportunity to release those people, after all, they are theoretical enemies, and they can be redeemed for money, and there is this rule among nobles. Calm people's hearts and take some money by the way. However, Ji Ya can show mercy, but she can't give up her majesty, she should still take her life, as a traitor, Lu Fangliang and others are the most suitable sacrifice knife, just now Meng Mengda saw Ji Ya pause, and thought that she couldn't make up her mind to kill people and exterminate the clan, but finally made a decision.

Because Ji Ya remembered the words of Monmonda's persuasion: "Although the murderous clan is ruthless, but the military regulations are so, His Highness can't act rashly, and there is a deterrent to destroy this clan, which can prevent the recurrence of the past in the future and avoid more exterminations." ”

After escorting everyone down, Ji Ya announced a two-day rest and set off to march to the Generalissimo's Mansion the day after tomorrow.

During the military discussion, the news of the Ma family's infiltration also spread, and the Battle warriors lost forty percent, which left 1,500 Ma family cavalry, and Meng Mengda was shocked when he heard the record in his hand, after all, he felt uncomfortable when he heard that so many compatriots had died in battle.

Ji Ya naturally also sensed it: "Military judge, please write down this credit, and when the war is over, I will repay them for their efforts." ”

Monmonda was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily: "Your Highness!"

In fact, Ji Ya doesn't have to do this at all, the mercenaries in the northwest naturally have rules, as long as the fee is settled, the casualties of the mercenaries have nothing to do with the employer, and at most the mercenaries can keep the spoils of the war.

Although it was a matter of money and money, Monmonda knew that every Battelle warrior had his own family, and although there would be some compensation in the clan after they died in battle, the relief was temporary, and it was difficult for those orphans and widows to maintain it after a long time.

Ji Ya sighed again: "Fortunately, Chang Xiu and the warriors of Battle are there, and the master arrived in time, otherwise if so many cavalry really copied our back road, the army would be in danger." ”

Wu Yan on the side said: "Your Highness, for the sake of today, as long as you quickly take the Generalissimo's Mansion and deploy the cavalry troops in the entire cloud in a unified manner, you can deal with the possibility of the Ma family's cavalry attacking at any time." ”

Ji Ya nodded, the cavalry of the Ma family was very sharp, as long as they wanted, they could carry out a raid anywhere, and when their reinforcements rushed over, they would have long been gone. It seems that after the unification of Yunzhong County, not only will they have to increase the employment of the Battelles, but they must also master a cavalry unit as soon as possible.

Ruan Yu said at the moment: "Your Highness, after taking the Generalissimo's Mansion, please give me a force to garrison in the east, as long as the Ma family dares to come, I will make them pay the price of blood." ”

She still remembered that when Chai Shengnan rushed to the aid of the capital, all forces surrounded and intercepted him. Among them, the Ma family continued to bomb them, and many comrades-in-arms died in front of her eyes. Ruan Yu knew that it was not realistic to want to counterattack the Ma family, but if he had the opportunity, he would personally lead the troops to teach them a lesson, which would be really unbelievable!

Ji Ya nodded and said: "I'll talk about this matter later, judging from the behavior of the Ma family this time, maybe it's just a temptation, we still have to take advantage of the opportunity when the whole world is paying attention to the Cloud Pass to complete the unification of Yunzhong County." Although the Generalissimo's Mansion can be swept down in a battle, there are still some places that need to be cleared in the scattered border areas, such as Nguyen Ngoo, Chun Yu Wuji, and Xiongyi. ”

"The last general!"

"The three of you will lead another 5,000 men, with Ruan Yu as the general, and the other two as the deputies, to clear the border troubles as the main force, and if there is an emergency, you don't have to report it arbitrarily. ”

"Yes. "There is nothing wrong with that.

Ji Ya said again: "This time there is a big victory, not to mention that there are nearly 10,000 surrendered troops, Master Wu, you and Huang Ping should take advantage of these two days to close the arrangements as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!"

……

After the military discussion was over, everyone dispersed to make their own arrangements, and when the execution of those traitors was completed in the afternoon, they should set off and prepare for it.

After sending everyone away, Ji Ya came to the room that had been arranged long ago to rest alone, and at this time, Qi Diaoyan quietly came in with a person, who was the former Aries Pass chief soldier Du Zuo. He was tied under the military discussion just now and didn't say a word, but now when he saw Ji Ya, he immediately bowed on one knee and said: "Subordinate honey three swords, see Your Highness." ”

Ji Ya immediately helped him up: "I have wronged the general!"

It turned out that Du Zuo was also a member of the secret organization 'Chaoyang' left by the eldest prince Ji Wei, and the organization was codenamed Mi Sandao. As a 'rising sun', he left a pawn in the Yunzhong Military Region. As early as when Ji Ya was preparing for the Yucheng wine banquet, Qi Diaoyan secretly got in touch with Du Zuo.

And Du Zuo's task is to participate in the banquet to observe the situation, if Princess Ji Ya has no support, he will be the first to stand up as the leading supporter, if Ji Ya has someone to support, then he will operate in the opposite direction and become the first person to take the lead, so that the disobedient will be exposed, and Du Zuo can also become one of them.

From beginning to end, only the three parties in the house knew, not to mention Meng Mengda and Ruan Yu, who were close to Ji Ya, were Master Lin Yue, and Ji Ya didn't reveal half a point.

And Du Zuo also worked hard, it was he who gathered most of the opponents together, it was he who put forward the battle plan for Hongshankou, and he contacted Lu Fangliang and others, these actions not only concentrated the opponents' forces, but also fished out the uneasy factors in Ji Ya's army. Even Ji Ya's air raid on Hongshan Pass a few days ago was part of the plan, originally preparing for the whole army to storm so that the operation could be completed, but Ji Ya cherished the lives of her soldiers too much, so she had no choice but to go into battle in person, which led to last night's battle.

And the so-called battle plan of the Northern Army has been mastered by Ji Ya from the beginning, and during the battle last night, Qi Diaoling secretly cleaned up some people who did not make a move but had been shaken, even if they were killed in battle, leaving a good reputation.

Ji Ya said, "What is the general's plan next?"

No matter how much credit Du Zuo has made for Ji Ya, but on the surface, he is still an opponent of the Northern Army, and he is still the most fierce opponent in the eyes of the world.

Qi Diaoyan said: "Your Highness, it's like this, we plan to ......"

Ji Ya only knew about their arrangement when she heard it, she only knew Du Zuo's plan, but she didn't know about the follow-up treatment, she just didn't want the hero to be obscure, bleeding and tearing with stigma. Now that Du Zuo has abandoned the city and fled, it is natural that Ji Ya's 'opponent' will not end well. So he would take part of the old department to start a dart bureau business, nominally relying on the old relationship in the army to do some escort business, but in fact, Qi Diaoling would arrange for the 'Chaoyang' people to mix into the dart bureau, and use the dart to spread the intelligence network throughout the cloud. No one would have thought that Du Zuo, who scolded and scolded on weekdays, because Ji Ya lost everything, would be her secret stake.

When Ji Ya heard this, he said: "For me to let the general's family come here, I really can't repay the reputation of the first generation." "From an officer to a reckless man, his sacrifice is indeed not small.

Du Zuo didn't care: "As long as the princess can treat the soldiers and the people well, what is a little fame and fortune? Today's matter ends here, out of this door, there is only Her Royal Highness the princess and a general who is full of grudges and defeats, and there is nothing else to do with it, Your Highness must not be entangled in such a trivial matter." ”

Hearing this, Ji Ya clasped her fists again, and then asked Qi Diaoyan to send Du Zuo away secretly.
