Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xiu treated the surrendered Bronze Horse Army general Shang Huai, the leader of the Chonglian Army Qi Bei, and even the leader of the Gaohu Army Zhao Gui with courtesy and politeness. This made Shanghuai and Qi Bei, who were full of gloom, feel a little more comfortable.

After that, Liu Xiu asked people to prepare wine and food, and warmly entertained Shang Huai, Qi Bei and Zhao Gui. Although Shang Huai and Qi Bei were both hungry, looking at the table full of wine and food at this time, the two of them really couldn't eat.

Now that their lives and even the lives of the entire army are in Liu Xiu's hands, it's really hard to say what Liu Xiu will do with them in the end!

Don't look at Liu Xiu's attitude towards them now, but they have seen too many ruthless people.

Shanghuai had more thoughts in his heart than Qi Bei. The Bronze Horse Army has only about 100,000 soldiers captured now, but there are still more than 100,000 people in other parts of the Bronze Horse Army.

As the news spread that he and Dongshan Barren surrendered to Liu Xiu, the brothers from other departments would also rush over one after another, and when the brothers from other departments also took refuge under Liu Xiu's command, everyone gathered, and the strength of the Bronze Horse Army, 200,000 could not be stopped.

With so many soldiers and horses, and they all look forward to the barren mountains and his Huai situation, can Liu Xiu really rest assured of the two of them?

In order to fight for the control of these more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, can Liu Xiu really tolerate the existence of him and Dongshan Barren? In this regard, Shanghuai has no confidence at all.

After all, with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, the temptation is too great, enough to make anyone in today's troubled world crazy.

This meal is like chewing wax for the psychological situation.

Seeing that Shanghuai was absent-minded, he also knew what he was worried about, and when the wine had passed three rounds and the food had passed five flavors, Liu Xiu said: "After days of fighting, General Shanghuai and General Qi are tired when they want to come, now, go back to the camp and rest!" ”

Shang Huai asked cautiously, "I don't know which military camp King Xiao asked me to wait back to?" ”

In his opinion, he and Qi Bei both took the initiative to send it to Liu Xiu's nose, and nine times out of ten, he would take this opportunity to put the two of them under house arrest in the Han army camp.

But what he didn't expect was that Liu Xiu actually said with a smile: "Of course, I will return to your own army camp." ”

Shanghuai was secretly taken aback, his face showed surprise, and he was stunned for a moment, he and Qi Wei both got up, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said, "Thank you King Xiao!" I've been bothering King Xiao for so long, I'm waiting to say goodbye! ”

Farewell to Liu Xiu, Shang Huai and Qi Wei turned around and walked out. Out of the camp, the two of them deliberately glanced back, and when they saw that no one chased them out, the two couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Not to mention that Shanghuai and Qi Hui thought that they were going to be placed under house arrest by Liu Xiu, even Zhu You and others thought that they should imprison Shanghuai and Qi Bei to save variables.

When the two of them left the Chinese military tent, Zhu You couldn't wait to say, "The king really shouldn't let the two of them go?" ”

"Oh? Why did Zhong Xian say that? Liu Xiuxiao asked.

Zhu You Zhengse said: "The bronze horse and the heavy connection are coming, who knows if they are sincere or false?" ”

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "If there is any other way out, the copper horse and the heavy company, they will definitely not surrender to our army!" "So, the king, the surrender of the bronze horse and the heavy company is forced to be helpless, and the heart is neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with the king, and now the king does not take the opportunity to arrest them, but also lets them go back, this is to let the tiger return to the mountain, and the future troubles are endless!" Speaking of which

, he took a deep look at Liu Xiu, and said quietly: "The surrender army of the copper horse and the heavy company, but there are 200,000 people, once there is chaos, they can't be suppressed!" ”

Even if the 200,000-strong army has already surrendered its weapons and armor, if there is a riot, its momentum will be like a flood of beasts, and it will be out of control.

Liu Xiu shook his head disappreciatively, and said happily: "Before employing people, you must first be able to trust people, if you don't believe him, how can you use him?" ”

He didn't move on Huai and Qi Bei, of course, he also had his own considerations.

Although the Bronze Horse Army and the Chonglian Army surrendered, he had no loyalty to himself, and if he wanted to control the army of 200,000 people, he must have the support of the leaders of the army such as Dongshan Barren, Shanghuai, and Qi Bei.

The imprisonment of Shanghuai and Qi Wei seems to make sense, but it is not.

Doing so, not only will it be impossible to control the 200,000 troops, but it will inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction and backlash from the 200,000 troops, arousing vigilance and hostility in the hearts of the soldiers, and only then will there really be a big chaos. Shanghuai and Qi Bei returned to the Bronze Horse Army camp. On the way, the two glanced at each other in unison, Qi Bei looked back, looked around again, and said: "Brother Shanghuai, I think, Zhao Gui is right, King Xiao is indeed kind and easy-going, you."

Although I am the general of the defeated army, instead of embarrassing you and me, King Xiao does not even have a domineering arrogance. ”

You must know that Liu Xiu is the winner, and it is rare for the winner to meet the loser and be so courteous. Shang Huai smiled indifferently and said, "I don't know my heart if I know people." Qi Bei, you must not look at Liu Xiu's easy-going and benevolent appearance, and think that he is a good type. Liu Xiu, as Liu Xuan's conferred title of King Xiao, killed Liu Xuan's henchmen Xie Gong, Miao Zeng and others

, it can be seen that Liu Xiu's mind is vicious. Qi Bei cleared his throat and unconsciously defended Liu Xiu: "Brother Shanghuai, Liu Xuan once killed Liu Xiu's eldest brother, how can Liu Xiu not resent Liu Xuan?" Besides, Liu Xuan's title of King Liu Xiuxiao is just a fictitious title and decoration, in fact, he wants to take advantage of this

Stabilize Liu Xiu, let Xie Gong, Miao Zeng and others empty him, Liu Xiu had to kill them in order to protect himself! ”

Shang Huai looked at Qi Bei, was happy, and said with a smile: "You have seen this matter very thoroughly." Qi Bei hurriedly owed, and was about to say a few words of modesty, when Shang Huai continued: "Yes, in order to protect himself, Liu Xiu is willing to bow down to the enemy who killed his brother when his eldest brother is killed, and he can take revenge on his brother when he has no strength."

People's courtiers are vain and wronged, and once the time is ripe, when it is time for him to make a move, he will not hesitate to act resolutely, scheming, and able to bend and stretch, such Liu Xiu, isn't it more terrible than many vicious people? ”

Qi Bei didn't have anything to say, he felt that Shanghuai's prejudice against Liu Xiu was too deep, no matter what he said, how he defended Liu Xiu, it was difficult to change his attitude towards Liu Xiu.

When I returned to the camp of the Bronze Horse Army, I saw that Dongshan was barren, and the latter was sitting on a soft couch at this time, being fed and drinking porridge by the soldiers below.

Seeing this, Shang Huai and Qi Bei were both overjoyed, and said in surprise: "The general can eat?" ”

Dongshan was already so injured that he couldn't eat anything or drink water, lying there, dying, but now, he was able to sit up and drink porridge, which was too unexpected.

Zhang Huaixi, who was standing on the side, said with a smile: "It is the medical officer sent by King Xiao to rejuvenate with a wonderful hand, apply a pair of medicines externally and take a pair of medicines internally, in less than two hours, the general is already very good, and the people are more energetic!" "Awesome! Looking at Zhang Huai, who was dancing excitedly, Shang Huai sighed secretly in his heart, Zhang Huai was strongly opposed to surrender at the beginning, but now, Liu Xiu only sent a medical officer with superb medical skills, which made Zhang Huai's attitude towards him change greatly.

Even in private, he took the initiative to call Liu Xiu King Xiao.

Zhang Huai's attitude towards Liu Xiu is still like this, and the attitude of other generals towards Liu Xiu can also be imagined. Such an understatement can convince people's hearts, how can it be said that Liu Xiu is not powerful?

Dongshan barren motioned to the soldiers who were feeding the porridge to retreat, he wiped his mouth, smiled at Shanghuai and Qi Bei, and asked, "Shanghuai and Qi Bei, can you two see King Xiao?" ”

Qi Hao nodded hurriedly and responded, "General, we have already seen King Xiao!" ”

"Is it difficult for King Xiao to wait for you?"

"Instead of being embarrassed, he was polite and courteous, and King Xiao specially left the two of us to eat together in the Chinese military tent!" Qi said happily.

"Hmm!" Dongshan Barren nodded, and said with a smile: "What Zhao Gui said is true, King Xiao is really benevolent, and he is true to his word!" ”

Shanghuai stroked his forehead, it was less than a day, and even the general's impression of Liu Xiu had changed greatly.

He frowned and said: "General, now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, if you are a little careless, there is no place to die, so you need to be on guard as soon as possible!" ”

Hearing this, Dongshan Barren frowned, and was about to speak, when a soldier ran in from outside and said, "Report! General, King Xiao's envoy has arrived! ”

Everyone present was also shocked, Dongshan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, please!" ”

The messenger of Liu Xiu who came, everyone present knew him, it was Zhu You, who came with a medical officer not long ago.

Zhu You came with King Xiao's token in his hand, and when he entered the Chinese military tent, he looked around and said loudly: "King Xiao has an order, and the generals will receive the order!" ”

Dongshan Barren hesitated for a moment, but still got down from the soft couch, knelt on the ground, and seeing this, the other generals also knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "I'll knock on King Xiao!" ”

Seeing orders is like seeing people.

Zhu You said loudly: "Xiao Wang Ling, Dongshan barren, Shanghuai, Qi Bei, Zhao Gui, understand the righteousness, lead the army to Shun, benefit Hebei, consolidate in Bangben, therefore, canonized Dongshan barren, Shanghuai, Qi Bei, Zhao Gui as Guannei Hou. ”

After reading Liu Xiu's instructions, Zhu You picked up King Xiao's order, smiled at Dongshan Huangbald and others, and said: "Congratulations to the four generals, who have been awarded the title of marquis, and they still need to return to the camp to resume their lives, so I will leave first!" ”

"Quick! Hurry up and send General Zhu on my behalf! Dongshan's barren face showed a flush, and he waved to the surrounding generals again and again.

Shang Huai, Qi Bei, Zhang Huai and others sent Zhu You out of the Chinese military tent together. When he left and the people returned to the tent, Qi Bei couldn't help but say, "We...... We're princes now? Rightful princes? ”

Dongshan was barren and laughed, and Shanghuai was in a daze.

To a large extent, the Han system is the inherited Qin system, and the title level of the Han is the same as that of the Qin state, which is divided into 20 levels, and the Guannei Marquis is the 19th level, and above the Guannei Marquis, there are only the 20th rank of liehous.

As a courtier with a foreign surname, the liehous is the highest title that can be awarded. The tradition of the Han Dynasty is not to seal the king with a different surname, which is a rule set by Liu Bang.

The liehou used to be called Chehou, but it was the same name as Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and when he arrived at Liu Che, he changed the name of Chehou to Tonghou, and later changed his name to Liehou.

Whether it is the Marquis of Che, the Marquis of Tong, or the Marquis of Liege, only the name has changed, but the title and status it represents have not changed in any way.

The liehou can be divided into county marquis, township marquis, and pavilion marquis, all of whom have fiefs and can receive food and eup, while the marquis of Guannei may not have fiefs.

Now Liu Xiufeng and the four of them are the marquis of Guannei, but he did not mention any fiefdom, just like Liu Xuan was the king of Liu Xiuxiao at the beginning, there is no title, no fief, no food, just an empty title. Therefore, Dongshan Barren and Qi Bei were very excited, while Shanghuai was not happy at all. This kind of Guan Neihou without a fief and a title can be said to be meaningless, purely to send people and appease people's hearts.
