Seeing this, Xiao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to personally help him: "General, please get up quickly." ”

"King Xie." Xue Wu got up, and now that he has surrendered, he naturally wants to change his name.

In fact, he has a lot of worries, and the generals behind him are even more up-and-down.

However, Xiao Yuan did not embarrass them, let alone kill the prisoners.

There have been a lot of wars in Liangguo, and if the 200,000 young men who have surrendered are killed, the turmoil caused by that can be imagined.

The cool land is definitely going to be a big mess.

In order to completely stabilize the governance here, it is necessary to adopt some gentle measures.

This surrender did not last long, it was decent, and after temporarily taking over Xue Wu's military power, Yanzhou naturally fell into the hands of Xiao Yuan.

As for the next arrangements for these Liang army generals, Xiao Yuan also discussed with Jia You.

The latter said: "Among the Liang generals, there are many people who have followed Xue Wu for many years, and they are very convinced of it, if the king wants Xue Wu to guard the northern frontier, then his generals must be replaced, otherwise, this will be a hidden danger." ”

"As for the Liang soldiers, it seems that there are almost 200,000, but I heard that there have been more and more deserters recently, which shows their military spirit."

"In fact, there are many similarities between the Liang army and my Qin army, the king can throw an order, those who are willing to stay, continue to serve in the army, and those who are not willing to stay will be immediately dismissed as a citizen."

"There is no right or wrong between the soldiers on both sides, but their positions are different, and for them, they still have to take gentle measures, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people."

Although Xiao Yuan adopted his suggestion, he made many changes from it.

He first rewarded all the generals of the Liang army with a royal order, commended them for their previous military exploits, and then rewarded a large amount of gold and silver with no stinginess.

But then, for various reasons, they were dismissed one by one.

For this result, in fact, many generals are completely acceptable.

Before, they were worried about their lives, but now with these rewards, they can enjoy the rest of their lives in peace.

Many people, including the deputy general Sun Yao, found Xiao Yuan, sincerely bowed down to thank him, and then took off his shirt and returned to the village.

The Liang Kingdom has been destroyed, and they have such an ending, which is already very good, everyone understands it in their hearts.

In this way, it is equivalent to pumping the middle level of the Liang Army clean.

As for the soldiers below, when they learned that they could return to their hometowns, more than half of them began to register and express their willingness to serve the people.

For these, Xiao Yuan did not stop it.

In the final analysis, this cool army can be used, but it can't be used.

Instead of being entangled, it is better to follow the heart of the army.

In just a few days, there are not many of the 200,000 Liang troops left.

On this day, Xiao Yuan had just finished dealing with the matter of the Liangjun military registration, and Xu Hu also walked in quickly, clasped his fists and said, "King, Xue Wu asks to see you." ”

"Let him in." Xiao Yuan didn't talk too much nonsense.

After a while, Xue Wu entered, and after seeing Xiao Yuan, he naturally knelt on the ground and saluted: "See the king." ”

"The general doesn't have to be polite, get up and speak." Xiao Yuan put down the work at hand and glanced at him, with a calm face.

However, after Xue Wu got up, he glanced at Xiao Yuan cautiously, and then subconsciously swallowed his saliva, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled gently: "What does the general say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Yes." Xue Wu lowered his body and said: "Recently, the minister felt unwell, afraid that it was an old injury, begging for the king's favor, and Xu Chen returned to his hometown to recuperate for a period of time. ”

The reason why Xue Wu came to find Xiao Yuan was this->>

What happened in the past few days, all the old subordinates in the army were evacuated, which made him feel disheartened.

"That's ......" Xiao Yuan said first, then narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him for a moment.

After a long pause, he said: "Well, since the general is injured, this king is not easy to force, and go back to his hometown to recuperate, pay more attention to his body." ”

Yes? Hearing this, Xue Wu was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Minister, thank you, king!" ”

Xiao Yuan waved his hand.

Xue Wu understood: "Yes, Weichen retired." ”

After he left, Xiao Yuan put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and a ghostly light flashed in his eyes.

Jia You below stood up and said quietly: "Xue Wu seems to understand the king's mind." ”

Xiao Yuan glanced at him coldly, and then didn't say anything, but said in a deep voice: "Let Lin Chu come over." ”

"No!" Xu Hu took the order and left.

Hearing this, Jia You's heart shrank, and he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Xiao Yuan's face.

He didn't know that it was because of this that Xiao Yuan had murderous intentions.

Not long after, Lin Chu entered and hugged his fists to salute.

Xiao Yuan didn't have any nonsense, and asked directly: "Xue Wu and other senior generals of the Liang Army are still on their way home, right?" ”

"Yes." Lin Chu responded.

Xiao Yuan stretched out his palm and gestured at his neck.

Seeing this, Lin Chu was shocked at first, and then clenched his fists and shouted: "Weichen understands!" Please rest assured! ”

"Be clean, there will always be some horse bandits on the way home."

"No!"

Lin Chu took the order and left.

Jia You stood on the right side and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The king's mind is really impossible to guess, let alone guess.

In his opinion, he thought that this was already the best ending, but he didn't expect that the king still had to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

As the saying goes, the king is ruthless.

As a monarch, Xiao Yuan has to consider not the issue of human feelings, but the issue of military and political affairs.

He was by no means an indecisive, soft-hearted man.

Xue Wu and other senior generals, although they have all returned to their hometowns, they have fought for many years and have some prestige, especially in the Liang army.

No one can guarantee that after they go back, they will not be summoned by Xue Wu and gather again to raise an army.

If this is the case, with Xue Wu's prestige in the Liang army, those generals who return to their hometowns will definitely listen to him.

If he is in the cool land, he will definitely be able to summon soldiers.

Since you can't be sure, then simply put an end to the trouble!

Looking at this decisive monarch, Jia You felt that the monarch's will was unpredictable, and at the same time, his mind was full of thoughts, and after settling his mind, he said:

"King, now that the Liangguo Kingdom has just been destroyed, the overall situation is undecided, there are still many things to deal with here in Liangzhou, but the domestic war cannot be ignored."

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he thought for a while and said: "The two armies of Wu and Chu, although they have not yet retreated, but after hearing the news of Liangguo, their hearts must have been shaken, our side, the existing strength of more than 200,000, can be adjusted to 100,000 troops, along Youzhou, in the Yiyang area, as a situation to encircle the Chu army, Hanzhou saw this, knowing that the war in Liangdi had ended, and Shanyuguan could no longer try, so he could only retreat. ”

"And the Chu army retreated, the Wu army was also difficult to support alone, and the domestic crisis was lifted."

"The other 100,000 will be guarded by Zhao Mu, Liangzhou."

Jia You deeply agreed with this deployment, and couldn't help but say: "The king is wise. ”
