This battle to destroy the Jin lasted for more than a year, and the total loss of the Qin army was about 120,000.

Grain, grass and ordnance cost a lot.

It seems that the already weak national strength of the Qin State will be consumed again, but in fact, after the end of the war, its results are very amazing.

Yiyang, Puyang, Xuzhou, Guiyang, these four counties, all owned by Xiao Yuan, plus the prosperity of the Jin capital, as long as it is stabilized, the national strength of Qin will be qualitatively changed.

And the other nations, in the end, also got the benefits they wanted.

Huan Guo took two counties lightly, Wu Chu did the same, and Liang Guo also got four counties because of the reason that he fought from Guangling to Jindu.

It can be said that in this war, the fourteen counties of the Jin Kingdom were divided by the nations.

At this time, King Liang also tasted the sweetness of fighting to raise war, although he was somewhat unwilling to fight for the Jin capital, but when he saw the official documents of the four counties, the excitement directly overshadowed the unwillingness.

Yes, in the land of the four counties, the people's livelihood and taxes in the past, and the official documents of the government are all recorded in detail, which is a data that King Liang has to be excited about.

Moreover, the Jin Kingdom was originally biased towards the central area, and in that era, the Central Plains was the most developed place.

At this time, Xiao Yuan was also in the study of the King of Jin, carefully flipping through the volumes of official documents, including the recitals of many ministers of the Jin Kingdom.

From these bamboo slips, he can relatively understand the previous governance of Xuzhou and other places.

When the king of Jin fled, he took with him the gold and silver of the treasury, and a large amount of jade and jewelry, but there were some things that he simply ignored.

For example, the official texts.

These things are of no value at all to King Jin who fled for his life, but to Xiao Yuan, they are more precious than gold and silver.

Don't underestimate these things, it allows Xiao Yuan to clearly grasp all the political affairs of the original Jin Kingdom from the perspective of a monarch, and it has played an indelible role in the governance of the next Jin Kingdom.

This look is a whole few days, Xiao Yuan has read at night several times, during which he also focused on checking the county guards in Xuzhou, Puyang and other places, and the previous conversations with the Jin court.

In the afternoon of this day, Lin Chu came to report, and Shi Li said, "King." ”

Xiao Yuanzheng got up and stretched, moved his arms and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"The King of Jin has fled to the southeast county and was sent by King Xuan to meet him." Lin Chu said directly.

"Hehe, this King Xuan, it's a bit interesting."

The King of Jin fled south, and the Qin army, of course, sent troops to pursue him, but now, the situation is obviously a little complicated, and Xiao Yuan can't chase it anymore, because once his army enters the territory of Xuanguo, it will be equivalent to declaring war on Xuanguo.

At this time, the Qin State was in urgent need of stable recovery after the war, and Xiao Yuan did not want to offend King Xuan in the situation of competing for hegemony among the countries.

After thinking about it, he said directly: "Forget it, let everyone come back." Also, call Sun Xun. ”

"No!" Lin Chu took the order and left.

Hearing that the king had summoned him, Sun Xun immediately panicked, where did he dare to delay in the slightest, that is, he hurriedly went to the palace of King Jin, and after arriving at the study, he knelt directly on the ground and shouted:

"Minister, Sun Xun, knock on the king-"

"General Sun doesn't have to be polite, get up and speak." Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand.

"King Xie-" After Sun Xun got up, he began to stand below, bowing slightly and shrinking his shoulders, not to mention how respectful he was.

Xiao Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "How long has General Sun been following this king?" ”

"Back to the king, the last general will start from Xiping Pass and follow the king." Sun Xun hurriedly said.

"Okay, this king has a veteran under his command, and the country remembers his great military exploits." Xiao Yuan said.

"The last general is terrified, if there is no king, there is no Qin country, the king's kindness to the last general is like reconstruction, and the last general must swear allegiance to the king!" Sun Xun said.

"Of course the king knows the loyalty of the general, and it is for this reason that he called you here today."

Xiao Yuan said, and said: "Go to Puyang, Ren, the supreme governor of the local Wuwei Mansion, and concurrently lead the captain of Puyang." ”

"Yes!" Sun Xun didn't ask why, and his body was shocked.

He is a veteran under Xiao Yuan, and he is currently a partial general of the fifth formation of the infantry army.

Of course, this is also in view of his exploits in this battle, it is also appropriate to be promoted, and more importantly, it is an old man like Sun Xun, who followed Xiao Yuan all the way, fought in the south and the north, and his loyalty can be imagined, to put it mildly, that is, Xiao Yuan asked him to cut off his head, I am afraid he will not hesitate.

This kind of generals are iron-blooded, mostly rough people, let them govern civil affairs, they may not be able to, but to let them suppress bandits, or maintain law and order, is a top trick.

At this time, Xiao Yuan already had the idea of using military generals to govern bandits and civilian officials to govern civil affairs.

The governors of the military guard prefectures in various places also began to be transferred by the generals in the army, and the county guards were civilian officials.

After a pause, he said: "In the future, the Puyang County Shou will be served by Lord Liao Shuangliao, but this person is a former official of the Jin Kingdom, do you understand?" ”

"The last will understand! He's not one of our old brothers who follow the king! It's an outsider! Sun Xun said innocently.

“。。。。。。” Xiao Yuan pretended to be displeased and glanced at him: "You can't say that, he is the county guard, in terms of official rank, he is always bigger than you, the Puyang military guard, and he leads the government affairs of the county, you still have to cooperate more, govern Puyang together, don't let the king down." ”

"Yes! The last general understands! Please rest assured! Sun Xun said in a shocking voice.

"Well, you go down and prepare first, the letter of appointment will arrive soon, go to the post as soon as possible." Xiao Yuan said again.

"No! The end will be retired! You should also pay attention to your body and don't be too tired! ”

"Alright, alright, let's go."

Xiao Yuan smiled comfortably.

There are many 'old men' like Sun Xun in the Qin army, and they all followed Xiao Yuan all the way!

Xiao Yuan now, because of his words first, and Liao Shuang did play an absolute role in the occupation of the Jin capital, he had to let him guard Puyang County.

Otherwise, no enemy official would dare to surrender in the future.

And after Liao Shuang received the appointment order, there was no doubt that he was excited about how high he jumped, and he immediately found Lu Fan, pulled him and said:

"Mr. is really my nobleman, now he will be the county guard of Puyang, and the king's order has been ......"

"Where, the king has no jokes, and he is just passing on a word." Lu Fan said with a smile.

"Oh, sir is so polite, let's go, I'll invite you to drink."

"This ......"

"Sir, don't shirk, in the future, you and I will be courtiers of the same court, and I hope to move around more......"

Liao Shuang is now really feeling that he has made the wisest choice, not to mention how excited he is.

While Xiao Yuan was dealing with the post-war affairs in Jindi, on the Qin Capital's side, a sealed letter also floated like snowflakes.

The letters of these ministers, without exception, were all candidates for the county guard to Xiao Yuanli.

Now, only one Puyang county guard has been temporarily finalized, Xuzhou and Guiyang, both have vacancies, and it is conceivable that the courtiers want to recommend their cronies or friends.

This is a political relationship, which has always been inevitable in court.
