Chapter 209: Pacifying Shuzhong

"Such a mediocre lord is not worthy of my Shu army to fight for it at all"

The generals have expressed their opinions.

People's rhetoric is almost the same, before, the generals wanted to persuade Lian Xiao to surrender, but they didn't dare, but now, with Lian Mu here, the situation is naturally different.

Listening to what people were saying, Lian Xiao looked around the crowd for a week, and then fell silent.

Seeing this, the generals moved the corners of their mouths one after another, and wanted to persuade again, but Lian's mother had already said: "Okay, let him think about it for himself, my son is a person who understands righteousness, and he will make the decision he should make." ”

As she spoke, she also walked out.

Seeing this, Lian Xiao first waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, and then quickly followed his mother, hugged him and said, "Mother, my son will send you"

This night, Lian Xiao tossed and turned, and he thought a lot.

The next morning, the Qin army again approached the city.

Xiao Yuan knew that after a day's time, Lian Xiao's side should have already made a decision, and today Ningyang will be in a while, either fight or settle peacefully.

Outside the city pass, Xiao Yuan rode a war horse, located at the front of the army, waiting quietly.

At the head of the city, Lian Xiao looked at Xiao Yuan steadily, and it wasn't until a long time later that he said quietly: "Open the city." ”

"Huh?" When the adjutant general heard this, he didn't react at first, and then he said with joy: "Yes, yes!" ”

As he spoke, he also ran down quickly.

After a while, the city gate was slowly opened, and this time, it was not Lian Xiao who rode out, but with a group of generals, who walked out unhurriedly in front of him.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but be shocked.

Then he turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Lord!" Xu Hu hurriedly followed, for fear that Lian Xiao would have some conspiracy.

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly. Who Lian Xiao is, he knows very well, not to mention that Xiao Yuan saved his mother, even in normal times, with his character, he will never engage in small tricks, if he really wants to fight, he will only be tough with Xiao Yuan.

He stepped forward quickly, and after the two sides met, Lian Xiao also took the general behind him to kneel on one knee, clasped his fists and said:

"Lian Xiao, the general of the defeated army, has seen Lord Qin."

This action already represented Lian Xiao's surrender, Xiao Yuan was overjoyed, and couldn't help but glance him up and down.

At this time, Lian Xiao also took out his talisman, raised his hands high, and presented it to Xiao Yuan.

However, the latter pushed back directly, and helped Lian Xiao with both hands, and said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

He didn't receive the talisman, Lian Xiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "This, the tiger talisman"

"The tiger talisman is naturally kept by the general, and the Shu army is naturally led by the general." Xiao Yuan continued to laugh, and at the same time saw that his armor was not neat, and stretched out his hands to tidy it up for him.

At that time, the dignity and humility were distinct, and there was a difference between the top and bottom, and such an action made Lian Xiao stunned, and he was a little overwhelmed.

But without waiting for him to react, Xiao Yuan half-squatted down and tied his shoelaces for him personally.

Xiao Yuan is a modern person, and now that he has come to this kind of other world, An Neng doesn't need this trick!

Sure enough, his action directly made Lian Xiao kneel down again, and he panicked, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord, the last general is panicked!" ”

Lian Xiao has already changed his words directly, for a fierce general like him, there is no need to say much about the significance of taking the initiative to call Xiao Yuan the lord.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he smiled happily, and helped him up again: "Good, good!" ”

As he spoke, he also took the initiative to pull up Lian Xiao, and when the generals saw this, they got out of the way one after another, hugged the two, and entered the city.

At this point, the war in Shu was completely over, from this moment on, Xiao Yuan's power has gradually grown, in the troubled times at that time, even if it is not yet hegemonic, but it is enough to protect itself, after Qin and Shu are connected, he can go out from the east of the mountain valley pass, and retreat can return to defend Tongguan.

This is also Zhao Mu's original strategic idea, and now it has finally been achieved.

In the evening of the same day, the Ningyang County Guard arranged a banquet in the city.

There are several cases in front of each person, and on the main seat directly above, Xiao Yuan is naturally sitting, and Lian Xiao is next to him.

At the banquet, everyone pushed their glasses and changed the lamp, and the atmosphere of the scene was not deceitful, but very lively.

It can be seen that Xiao Yuan's attitude towards Lian Xiao is completely different from that towards Shuzhong officials, and during this period, he also drank several cups with Lian Xiao.

And for him not accepting his own talisman, so trusting, Lian Xiao was inevitably a little moved in his heart.

At this time, the Ningyang County Shou picked up the wine glass, smiled with a smile on his face, and said to Xiao Yuan: "Under the rule of the Ming Duke, the land of Shu will inevitably be thriving, which can be described as the hope of the people, and it is also the hope of us. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly said, "I propose, we will have a cup of toast to the lord." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone also raised their wine glasses and said in unison: "Respect the lord"

"Good! Drink together! "Xiao Yuan naturally won't be disappointed.

After this banquet, he also returned to his accommodation, but just as he was about to rest, Shangguan Wenruo suddenly asked to see him.

There was no way, Xiao Yuan could only call him in, and there was not so much red tape, so he sat directly on the edge of the bed and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"My lord." Shangguan Wenruo first gave a salute, and then said: "Now Lian Xiao has surrendered, Ningyang has recovered, and the entire Shu land has been owned by the lord, but Lian Xiao's military talisman"

As a strategist in the army, it is reasonable for him to have this worry, Xiao Yuan heard this, first groaned for a while, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, if the Shu army wants to govern, there must be a general, and this general must be Lian Xiao, otherwise, the Shu army will be unstable." ”

"What does the lord mean is that Lian Xiao is still the general of Shu?" Shangguan Wenruo asked.

"It's not General Shu, in the future, it's General of my Qin Army." Xiao Yuan said directly.

"But this" Shangguan Wenruo was obviously still a little worried.

Xiao Yuan waved his hand and said: "Lian Xiao is a loyal and righteous person, since he has recognized me as the master, then he will never have two hearts, and the official employs people, either not using them, but using them, which means that the official trusts him." ”

Lian Xiao's matter, of course, Xiao Yuan was well thought out, how could he make a conclusion.

Don't use people who are suspicious, don't doubt people, this is the judgment that a person should have.

One side of use, the other side of suspicion, is the real taboo.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Wenruo couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yuan again, and Shi Li said: "The lord is really the master. ”

"Okay, don't shoot this sycophant, is there anything else?" Xiao Yuan gave him a funny look.

"The subordinates retired." Shangguan Wenruo understood, bowed and retreated.

After staying in Ningyang for another two days, Xiao Yuan began to return to Yizhou with 30,000 Qin troops and 30,000 Shu troops, and the next step was the reform of the Shu army and government decrees.

This is a big deal, Xiao Yuan must think it through, and all aspects must be taken into account.
