A small number of regular troops of Western Wu did not recognize the legitimate status of Emperor Wu Qi and were included in the command of the coalition forces, and most of the regular troops of Western Wu chose to surrender and become servants, and the encirclement collapsed, and the coalition forces retreated to the territory of Wei, Lie, and Donghu.

Outside the city of Wuzhou, General Gomen led an army of 200,000 and an army of more than 100,000 servants to finally reach the outside of Wuzhou after several hesitations and struggles.

"Chen Gomen pays a visit to the prince. ”

Li Meng said without being salty or indifferent: "General Gomen has worked hard, after many battles, Marshal Ge has worked hard for my Muye country, and now under the gratitude of my Muye country, this king waved his hand, and the Xiwu country finally walked towards the road of reform of my Muye country, Wei country, Lie country, The surrender of Donghu is just a matter between the king waving his hand again, Marshal Gomen can have a good rest from now on, this king has prepared good wine and good food in Wuzhou City to entertain the generals, please go to Wuzhou City to have a good time, everyone is not welcome; Commander Zhang, Haosheng arranged for Marshal Gomen's subordinates to slaughter more cattle and sheep, and they must be allowed to eat and drink well. ”

Li Meng's words shocked Gomen and Gomen's subordinates, this is the rhythm of unloading the mill and killing donkeys, does the prince plan to deprive them of their military power?

The Imperial Forest Army couldn't help but say that they surrounded Gomen and many generals into the city, and Zhang Fei's Left Guard immediately guided Gomen's 200,000 troops and servant troops to enter each acropolis for rest.

Deputy Marshal Gomen and his generals failed to get out of Wuzhou City within half a month.

Enjoy singing and dancing, sporting events, gold and silver awards, feasts and drinks every day......

Half a month later, the telephone connecting Wuzhou City and Xiyangguan has long been in normal use.

He Taiyi: "Lord Wang, the 500,000 troops of the imperial court to support the front line are already on the way, and there will be seven or eight days to reach Xiyang Pass, and the caravan carrying grain, grass, cattle and sheep has already set off, and it is expected to arrive in Wuzhou City in three to five days. ”

Li Meng: "After the hard work He Junshou, in the coming day to defeat the other three countries in the Western Regions, this king will definitely report to the emperor to reward the meritorious ministers, in addition, the five million taels of silver that should be paid to the caravan are already on the way to escort, He Junshou must pay it to the Chamber of Commerce in time." ”

"Don't worry, the money and silver of the Chamber of Commerce will be cashed out exactly what, and General Wu Di's grain and grass of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses have been urging, what instructions does the prince have?"

Li Meng said on the other end of the phone: "It's winter soon, and the soldiers are also working hard, let General Wu Di retreat to the territory of Xiyang County, and the supply will be carried out in Xiyang County, and this king will also issue an order to let General Wu Di quickly retreat for the winter, and fight again next year depending on the situation." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, stop the supply and wait for General Wu Di to return to Xiyang County for the winter. ”

"Yes, this is the king's order. ”

Li Meng plans to spend the winter in Xiwu this winter, it's good here, everything that should be cleaned up has been cleaned up, although Xiwu is cold, Li Meng is building a heating system, but it is very comfortable, and through the phone, Li Meng has firmly controlled everything in Xiyang County, unless the county guard of Xiyang County disobeys his orders.

The envoys to Wei, Lie, and Donghu were in constant negotiations.

Li Meng's instructions to them were: "I hope that the Three Kingdoms will become vassal states of the Makino Kingdom, and the Makino Kingdom will not interfere in their internal affairs, but they must open a trade gateway with the Makino Kingdom, and they must ensure the safety of the Makino Country caravan, and similarly, the Makino Kingdom will also ensure the safety of the Caravans of the Three Kingdoms, and the Makino Congress will send an army to the Three Kingdoms to ensure the safety of the trade routes, and the Makino Kingdom will strengthen various exchanges with each other: culture, sports, commerce, population, etc." ”

This clause does not seem to interfere in the internal affairs of the three countries, but it will subtly affect the three countries.

Garrison!

This is difficult for the three countries to accept.

However, Li Meng insisted on the right to garrison the army, and the right to trade was listed as the second article.

The sky-high price is asking to sit on the ground and pay back.

No one knew what King Muyang's bottom line was, not even He Taiyi, Miao Yidao, and Zhang Fei didn't know.

At this time, General Gomen and more than 20 of his generals have been staying in Wuzhou City to enjoy the dance.

No one knows how long King Muyang intends to keep them here, and for what purpose?

After receiving Li Meng's order, General Wu Di considered repeatedly ordering the army to retreat until Xiyang County to rest.

The main force of the army reinforced from Yunjing is 150,000 troops from the Right Guard Army and 150,000 troops drawn from all over the country, and the commander of the Right Guard Army is the Leng Army, this is not the commander, only responsible for bringing people over, and Emperor Dingyuan did not send a general to lead the troops.

If you think about it carefully, there are already three important people on the front line, do you still need a fourth commander?

As soon as the Leng army arrived in Xiyang County, he was immediately stunned, what are you kidding? The prince of waste wood actually rushed to the front line and destroyed the Western Wu Kingdom, the 200,000 troops of Vice Marshal Gomen were annexed, and Vice Marshal Wu Di's people retreated and began to rest, how is this different from Yunjing's rehearsal?

What should they do next?

There are now 500,000 troops and more than 300,000 servant troops in the territory of the Western Wu Kingdom, and there are more than 200,000 troops of General Wu Di, 300,000 troops of the Leng Army and less than 200,000 border guards of He Taiyi in Xiyang County, and more than 1 million troops of the Makino Kingdom have gathered on the border of the Western Regions.

All of a sudden, the Wei Kingdom, the Lie Kingdom, and the Eastern Hu Kingdom in the Western Regions trembled.

Li Meng was not idle throughout the winter, and constantly invited the three countries to visit each other: military visits, exchange of ministers, cultural exchanges, sports competitions, and multinational peace debates......

Li Meng's tossing and turning made several countries in the Western Regions an eye-opener, the war country can maintain such an interactive relationship, the radicals have proposed to directly kill the visiting envoys, and the moderates are naturally a hundred unwilling, and they have preached the importance of peace inside and outside the court, what is wrong with solving the invasion of the Makino country without blood?

All of a sudden, there was fierce turmoil in the three countries of the Western Regions throughout the winter, with assassins, debaters, and travelers, and Wuzhou City and Xiyangguan had become a gathering place for the envoys of those countries to shuttle non-stop.

Gomon was stunned.

Wu Di was stunned.

Leng Jun was stunned.

He was too stunned.

The collective heads of these generals are not enough, how did the battle of the Western Regions evolve into a peaceful exchange of visits, Makino and the Northern Barbarian Kingdom are signatory countries but have no contact, and Makino Country and the Kaiguo Kingdom have close contacts......

The war between the Northern Barbarians and Wuwei, Utan, and the Khanate came to an abrupt end after the turmoil at the beginning to the later shocking changes, and they also began to wait and see, and the hand played by the Makino Kingdom made them unable to understand it, and they needed to digest it.

In Yunjing City, several undercurrents are surging, and the news that the generalissimo of the expedition to the west is brewing with a light cavalry to capture Wuzhou City, which no one expected.

Prime Minister Yang Mu was silent with the chess piece in his hand, and after a long time, he sighed and said to a steward beside him: "Please ask Wang Yushi to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to talk about it." ”

"Yes, Xiangye. ”

The home of another prime minister, Chen Yiyi, was not peaceful, and there were also people in a hurry waiting to enter and leave the palace of the eldest prince Mu Dynasty and the third prince Mu Yuan.

Inside the main hall.

Wang Yushi: "Your Majesty, the minister received an urgent report, Miao Yidao, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, connived at his subordinates to kill 150,000 regular soldiers and civilians of Western Wu overnight, and divided a large number of assets that should have been confiscated from the treasury privately. ”

Prime Minister Chen Yiyi also walked out at the right time and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also has a good performance, Zhang Fei, the commander of the Left Guard, privately disrupted the establishment of the Gomen deputy marshal, divided the army under the deputy marshal of the expedition to the west, and wantonly established more than 300,000 servants of the Western Wu State, supporting the army and respecting itself, and the number of troops under his command has reached 700,000, and the left guard army was arbitrarily arranged for the Left Guard to take over hundreds of large cities in the Western Wu State, and his pawns wantonly looted property, and even sent home tens of thousands of taels of silver. ”

When the people in the Qianzheng Hall heard these words, they immediately began to discuss one after another, "What is the situation? A small pawn can loot tens of thousands of taels of silver, isn't this heaven-shattering? What about those generals? What about the prince of Muyang?

Several ministers in the court seem to have a tacit understanding that they did not impeach King Muyang, as if this was just a decoration, a victim; the capture of Western Wu was purely obtained by playing in the mountains and rivers, and those subordinates did a lot of outrageous things.
