Chapter 260: Reorganize the mountains and rivers for future generations
For many people's doubts, Chu Jiangmian can naturally avoid answering. But since Zimmer also asked the same question, he couldn't be casually perfunctory. At the gate of the slightly hectic camp, he looked at this important figure of the royal family who went out of the city to reward the army, and smiled faintly.
"Mo Gong, in fact, you don't need to ask more. This is just a small trick in Zhao Jun. At the right time, it can be used. As for achieving such a big result, it was a bit unexpected to me! Hehe! ”
Ji Mo couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, but he didn't continue to ask the bottom of the question. He knew very well in his heart that Chu Jiangmian could say this to him, and he had enough trust. And the most important thing now is that the Qin army and the vassal army outside the city have all been wiped out, the siege of Los Angeles has been lifted, and the Great Zhou royal family has survived the most serious crisis. All of this is thanks to the young man in front of him. In a sense, he was a hero who saved the entire population of Los Angeles. Otherwise, the jade will be burned, the lives will be ruined, and in front of the brutal tiger and wolf army of the Qin State, no one will be spared on the day the city is broken.
"Are there any casualties among the soldiers of the Zhao army?"
"Since entering Zhongzhou, more than 100 good men have lost their lives. Hundreds of them were injured, but fortunately none of them were life-threatening ....... ”
Chu Jiangmian's tone was a little sad and heartfelt. And although Zimmer also showed a look of relative affection on his face, his heart was already extremely shocked. At the cost of only a few hundred casualties, and achieving an absolute victory in such an important war as the Battle of Zhongzhou, such a record is not much more than the battle of fame of any famous general! But Chu Jiangmian behaved lightly, without the slightest smugness. It is really admirable that he has such a cultivation at such a young age.
"For the warriors who died in this battle of King Qin, please send someone to compile a detailed list, and I will play tomorrow and praise them in the name of the royal family."
"Thank you Mo Gong for your kindness!"
Chu Jiangmian thanked him. In any case, this is the honor that those who died deserve. More than 100 warriors died in battle, in exchange for a glorious victory. Although in the eyes of outsiders, such a price is really worth it. But Chu Jiangmian would never compare them like this. Every life is priceless, and he doesn't want anyone to die if he can. Except, of course, the enemy.
"King Zhao, in addition to the few princes who raised troops to make trouble, I heard that Wang Feng, the famous general of the Qin State, and Nie Feng's young son are in the army, I don't know what happened to them?"
"Wang Feng has already killed himself by the Luoshui River. Several of the rebellious princes were buried under the water along with their armies. As for that peerless son...... But there is no news yet. With that man's ingenuity, it would not be surprising if he could escape. ”
"It's hard to escape in the rapids. It's just a pity that these leaders died so easily, and they can't be beheaded to tell the world!"
Zimmer's tone was tinged with hatred. Although he was generous, this time the princes were too deceitful. If it weren't for Zhao Jun's timely rescue, the consequences would be unimaginable. Chu Jiangmian smiled indifferently. Looking at the overall situation of the world, the life and death of a Nie Wushuang is not on his heart. "Mo Gong doesn't need to be dwelling. The princes are in rebellion, but they are only coerced. They were all instructed by the people of the Qin State to have such courage. Now that the Qin general Wang Feng is dead, I have buried his body, but the head has been preserved. The Son of Heaven can send a messenger to take this head to Qin Guofeng'an to ask for guilt! And to be responsible for it. In this way, it can also make the people of the world understand the ambition of King Qin. ”
Zimmer smiled knowingly. It's really the same thing that heroes see! He happened to think so, too. However, he didn't interrupt Chu Jiangmian's words and listened to him continue.
"As for the princes who were the leaders of the rebellion, they have been buried in the water to atone for their sins. The only living Marquis of Zhongshan was held in the back camp. Mo Gong can send someone to take him back, behead him outside Los Angeles, and hang his head at the city gate, so as to deter Xiaoxiao and guard against him!"
Ji Mo sighed and nodded in agreement. Chu Jiangmian is really decisive in killing, and his words and deeds are all convincing. He immediately sent people around him to the camp of the Zhao army to escort the Marquis of Zhongshan over.
Soon after, the Marquis of Zhongshan, who first became a prisoner of the Zhao people, was brought to the front with his arms tied. This unlucky little prince, since he was defeated and captured, has always had extravagant hopes. He expected that these Zhao troops who came to the rescue of Los Angeles would not be the opponent of the Qin army and the princes' army. Maybe things will turn around soon. Therefore, he struggled to convince himself not to be discouraged. Maybe the next moment Zhao Guoren fails, he will be saved.
However, the bad news he had just learned shattered his last hope of survival. When the guarding soldier Zhao proudly told him that the Qin army and the princes' army had all been wiped out, he still refused to believe anything. But after being escorted out of the camp, the scene he saw with his own eyes made him have to believe that they were finished! It's completely finished!
The Marquis of Zhongshan was dragged away in frustration. He knew that the young man standing not far away was Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian. However, he did not even dare to look at him again. It's an unspeakable fear. If he had known that this would happen, he would rather be swallowed up by the flood like several other princes, and beg for a good time!
Zimmer looked at the man who had been dragged away like a dead dog with a cold gaze. There was relief in his heart, but also a deep tingling. Whose fault is it that the Great Zhou Dynasty has fallen to the point where it is today? Even such pigs and dogs can be bullied casually. What a great irony!
"The vassal states divided by King Zhao, Marquis of Zhongshan and others are all near Zhongzhou. All along, these people have been favored by the royal family, giving and asking for everything. Unexpectedly, it instead achieved their wolf ambitions. At the critical moment, not only did he not protect the interests of the royal family, but he bit back, wanting to kill the royal family and the Son of Heaven...... It's chilling! ”
Zimmer sighed infinitely. Chu Jiangmian had to persuade him with good words. If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. It's human nature. In the eyes of these greedy guys, whoever gives them more benefits is the master who can be served. The decay of the Great Zhou royal family made them realize that there was no longer any superfluous use value, and in such a situation, even if they did something heinous, it was not surprising.
Zimmer nodded. Even if he didn't need Chu Jiangmian to explain it, of course he understood the reason. What he did was just a difficult way to relieve the anger in his chest. After a little silence, he patted Chu Jiangmian's shoulder with his hand, his eyes full of gentleness.
"You and your father are both rare and faithful people in this world. The Great Zhou royal family is fortunate to be protected by you. Although the royal family is now in decline, there is nothing too precious to commend it. But in the hearts of Brother Tianzi and me, I can't help but go after all. Therefore, before I left the city, the royal family had already made a decision that the few minor princes who participated in the rebellion this time would cancel all their titles over the years, and their fiefs would be fully recovered. And the new owner of these lands is you, King Zhao!"
Ji Mo straightened up and stared at Chu Jiangmian with blazing eyes. The attendants around him had already bowed down and handed over the edict of the Son of Heaven and all kinds of documents wrapped in yellow silk. Shock and joy were on the faces of everyone around them. Everyone understands what this means!
Chu Jiangmian did not refuse. He bowed down and took it. The lands of the four or five minor princes are all combined, and there is also a territory of nearly a thousand miles. These volumes, which represent the power of the feudal marquis, are held in the hand and turned upside down. If the edict of the Son of Heaven is added, while he receives the supreme glory, he also accepts a more unshirkable responsibility.
"The kindness of the Son of Heaven cannot be repaid. When I finish dealing with all the aftermath of the battlefield outside the city, I will personally enter the city and enter the Zichen Palace to meet me...... Please rest assured that Mo Gong!"
Ji Mo saw that Chu Jiangmian calmly accepted the fiefdom of the princes, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He had a relieved look on his face. This young man is so smart! He really knew what he meant, and he knew what the royal family wanted. Give all the fiefs of the princes around Zhongzhou to King Zhao, which is his personal proposal. From now on, Zhongzhou will be under the direct protection of the Zhao army, and rest easy!
"King Zhao, the Son of Heaven has made it very clear in the edict to you. I hope you focus on the big picture and don't have to worry about anything else. From now on, if there is a disobservant in the world, he should be defeated by the edict of the Son of Heaven! It's just that...... In everything you do, don't forget to think of the people in the world! ”
Chu Jiangmian nodded heavily, his heart fluctuating. That's exactly what he wants most about power. It is the ultimate goal he wants to achieve this time without hesitation to rescue Los Angeles. And Zimmer clearly knows his heart very well. With absolute trust, he personally handed over such a huge blade of the world into his hands. Thinking of this, he looked up at the royal nobleman with frosted temples, deeply feeling his exhaustion and also his expectations.
"Mo Gong, don't worry! I should do the rest of my life to live up to the trust. If one day I can make the people of the world free from the suffering of war and displacement, without the compulsion of hunger, cold and hardship, without the sigh of people's livelihood, and without the sorrow of bullying and oppression...... Let the living know the etiquette with enough food and clothing, so that the dead can have nothing to lose. That's my greatest wish!"
Looking at the bright colors emanating from those eyes, Zimmer clutched his arm. His heart fluctuated and he was full of emotion. He didn't misread him! If the Great Zhou Dynasty is destined to dissipate the royal spirit, he hopes that the omen of heaven will be all on this son!
"Good! Very good...... Go do it! Chu Jiangmian, the whole world, thousands of miles in China, you go and sort it out for the common people!"
