Chapter 323: Pacification

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Kai and some Jin generals also surrendered one after another, and the remaining more than 1,000 Jin troops in the county guard mansion also laid down their arms.

The Qin army immediately took the county guard, imprisoned the prisoners, and completely occupied the entire Puyang.

After some counting, the Jin army took prisoners, totaling about 60,000 people.

Regarding the way to deal with these people, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but think deeply.

That night, he began to hold a banquet in the county government to entertain the Jin army.

In other words, including the county guard Zhang Chengfang, all the core generals of the Jin army were invited by him.

These people have a certain cohesion in the army, and to put it simply, with them, they can gather those prisoners at any time.

After being captured, all the armor and weapons of these people were confiscated, and they were only wearing middle clothes.

At the scene of the banquet, there were many soldiers, Xiao Yuan was in the main seat directly above, Xu Hu hung a war sword on his waist, standing a little next to him, and on both sides below, there were several cases listed.

The generals of the Jin army did not know the meaning of King Qin, and after arriving here, they were all cautiously looking around.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled heartily, stretched out his hand and said, "Don't stand, please take a seat." ”

"This ...... His Royal Highness King Xie Qin. The people could only salute in reply, and then sit down carefully.

After a short time, the wine and food were served by the sergeant one by one.

Each person has a case in front of him, and there is roast chicken and wine.

Seeing this scene, people couldn't help but glance at each other left and right.

Zhou Kai couldn't help it, and arched his hand and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin, I don't know what happened to summoning us this time. ”

"I'm just going to make you a full ghost." Xiao Yuan did not shy away from it.

"What!?"

Although his tone was light-hearted, how could he not be surprised when he heard these words in the ears of the generals of the Jin army!

In shock, many people couldn't help but stand up.

But as soon as they made this move, a large number of Qin troops behind them had already pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords and pulled out half of their swords.

The sound of Qi brushing out of the sheath made everyone's hearts tighten, and at the same time, they swallowed their saliva fiercely, and they all sat down slowly.

"How can it be!" At this time, a Jin general sitting at the front stood up, then pointed at Xiao Yuan, and said angrily:

"The King of Qin is really a treacherous person......"

He looked annoyed and angry, and stretched out his hand to point at Xiao Yuan, as if to vent the anger in his heart, 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 his body fell directly on the table.

Blood flowed down his neck and all over the table.

"Huh!?" Seeing this, Zhou Kai and the others gasped one after another, and their faces turned pale.

Zhang Chengfang wanted to get up tremblingly, but his body was weak, and he knelt on the ground with a pop, and said with a crying voice:

"Temple...... His Highness spares his life...... Let the villain have a way to live......"

Zhou Kai said with an ugly face: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, we have all surrendered, why are we all killed." ”

"Surrender?" Xiao Yuan sneered and said: "Before this king, I gave you a chance, in the bamboo slips, it is clearly written, if anyone opens the city to surrender, he will protect the high-ranking officials, but what about you?" Surrendered? ”

"The loss of Puyang was captured by the soldiers of my Qin army! You waited for the defeat to finally think of surrendering, but at this moment, for this king, what is the meaning! ”

"Tell you the truth! Today, if it weren't for the fact that Nian Zaier and others are all generals in the army, and want you to die a dignified death, why would this king be like this! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan also threw off his sleeve robe, got up and left.

When Zhou Kai and the others saw this, their hearts sank to the bottom all of a sudden.

There is no doubt that they will not be able to resist at all, and in that case, they will only die worse!

And Zhang Chengfang was still crying loudly there: "Your Highness spares your life!" Your Highness spares your life......"

It's just that no one pays any attention to him anymore.

These core generals of the Jin army, Xiao Yuan must be killed, and they cannot be used, and there will be troubles if they stay.

He is not a soft-hearted person, and he will never hesitate to kill him.

As for the 60,000 Jin prisoners of war, after careful consideration, he ordered Zhang Dashan to escort them all to Beiling County.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter to the Beiling County Shou, telling the latter that these young men should be incorporated into the local household registration, dismissed as a citizen, divide the wasteland for them, let them reclaim it by themselves, and lend it to them if they have no farming tools.

They were also allowed to take their families over, and from then on, they were treated as the subjects of the Qin State.

In this way, those Jin soldiers and soldiers, as prisoners of war, were not enslaved, but had a new life, you can imagine, how could they be unwilling.

The area from Beiling to Qinguan was sparsely populated and slaughtered by Xirong in the past, and most of them were old and young, women and children, which was very problematic for the border area.

Xiao Yuan has also been solving this problem, now these 60,000 Jin army prisoners, but they are all young men, plus after settling down, with Qin's policy, they are likely to notify their families and let their parents, wives and children come over, so that even if it is calculated according to the average family of five, it is also an increase in the population of two or three hundred thousand, which has a certain effect on the development of Beiling.

Xiao Yuan was very serious about this matter, and in his letter to the county guard of Beiling, he explained it sternly, telling him to do it well.

After the latter received the royal order, he dared to slack off, and immediately began to prepare.

After dealing with these, Xiao Yuan rested in Puyang for a few days, and began to march eastward, preparing to gather all the troops and attack Xuzhou!

At this time, the total combat strength of the Central Army of the Jin State was less than 160,000, with 100,000 in Xuzhou and 60,000 in Yangpingguan.

After Xuzhou, it was not far from Jin, and the Jin Kingdom had no room for maneuver.

Therefore, Xiao Yuan's desire to win at this time was actually very anxious, because he was afraid of any accidents.

After Puyang was occupied by the Qin army, the information was transmitted back to various countries, and King Liang immediately ordered Xue Wu to quickly break through Yangping Pass at all costs and stop fighting with Ren Yingxiao.

He had this decision, it was completely worried that the Qin army would hit the Jin capital first, you must know that the Jin Kingdom has been in the past few generations, and the wealth of the capital city is not geometric, and it will inevitably be like a mountain of gold and silver.

After Xue Wu obtained his royal order, he immediately showed his fierce fighting style.

Under the order of its iron-blooded army, the Liang army began to take turns to go into battle, and launched an extremely sharp offensive against Yangping Pass.

At the same time, King Huan saw that Puyang was lost, and the Jin Kingdom was on the verge of collapse, so he also went out of Shangjun and took this place lightly.

Before the Jin Kingdom, if there was a winning situation, the nations might not move.

But once it falls into a desperate situation, the surrounding countries will not take the opportunity to fall into the well and grab his territory.

The land at your fingertips, the king of heaven, there is no one who does not want.
