Chapter 205 Ransom

At this time, Nan Jianxiu also reached the last moment to reply whether to surrender, Li Yao took the second prince to the wall, and let the second prince shout: "Surrender!" ”

The second prince's shout, Nan Jianxiu couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, after all, the boss's order was the biggest, and as a last resort, Nan Jianxiu had to announce his surrender!

Seeing that the Liang army laid down their weapons one after another, Li Yao sent two divisions of troops down to accept the surrender, and it was not until the 20,000 troops controlled the generals of the Liang Dynasty army that Li Yao ordered the city gate to be opened!

Gathering the generals of the two Liang Dynasty together, Li Yao finally put his mind at ease, Li Yao didn't want to let go of all these army generals so early, so they were all concentrated in the prisoner of war camp!

At this time, the second prince shouted: "Li Yao, didn't you say that you want to ensure our safety?" Why don't you let us go now! ”

Li Yao smiled: "I can guarantee your safety, but I didn't say that I want to let you go now, but you can rest assured, I don't plan to keep you for a long time, raising you is a waste of food!" ”

When the generals of the Liang Dynasty heard that Li Yao actually said this, they shouted and cursed.

Li Yao didn't bother to listen to them, turned around and left, letting them scold him.

So far, there are 300,000 civilians and nearly 100,000 prisoners in Daxian County, plus the original 100,000 people in Daxian County, a total of more than 500,000 people, and a small county town has squeezed out more than 500,000 people, which is not a long-term solution!

These 300,000 civilians have gradually allowed them to retreat to their original places, and it is impossible for some old and weak people to travel in such a cold day, so they can stay here, but the young and strong can let them go back first!

There are at least 200,000 young men among these civilians, if they leave Daxian, Daxian will have enough space, and Li Yao plans to use all the 90,000 captives to build the city next to Daxian, although this will leak out of this city, but Li Yao is not prepared to hide the existence of this city, after all, such a big city, you can't hide it if you want to!

The silver that Yang Yun transported at this time has also arrived in the county!

The guards came over to tell Li Yao and said, "Yangyun's envoy wants to visit you, do you want him to come in?" ”

Li Yao said: "Of course, he sent us five million taels of silver, why didn't you let them in?" ”

The guards were ordered to go out and come in with the Yangyun Emissary!

Yangyun's envoy saw Li Yao as soon as he came to the door, it turned out that when Li Yao was in Yidu, Yangyun's subordinates had seen him, so he also knew Li Yao, and when he saw Li Yao sitting on a chair, he hurriedly greeted him and said: "General Li, the second prince's five million taels of ransom silver have been prepared, when can the second prince be released?" ”

Li Yao didn't answer Yangyun's envoy's question, and said, "Five million silver has been delivered!" Alright then, your task is complete, tell Yang Yun that I received it! ”

Seeing that Li Yao did not answer his question, the Yangyun envoy asked again, and said, "General Li, five million taels of silver have been delivered, you see, can you release the second prince!" ”

Li Yao glared at the Yangyun envoy and said, "Didn't you understand what I said?" You're good to go! ”

The Yangyun envoy hurriedly said: "General Li, you can't be like this, the most important thing for people is credit!" ”

Li Yao said impatiently: "I didn't say that I wouldn't let go of the second prince, he is now insisting on being a guest here with me, what can I do, but I can promise you that a year ago, I will definitely send him back to the Liang Dynasty!" Now you can go! ”

The Yangyun envoy couldn't say anything when he received such a guarantee from Li Yao, so he asked, "General Li, can I go and see the second prince?" ”

Li Yao looked at the messenger and said, "Of course it's no problem, you can go!" ”

The Yangyun envoy nodded and said, "Thank you, General Li!" ”

Li Yao looked at the five million taels of silver sent by the envoy, and thought that he had captured 100,000 armor weapons, so that he could expand the army again!

Now Li Yao's enemy is not only Yiguo, the Liang Dynasty has suffered such a big loss, it will definitely not give up, and as an empire, the strength of the Liang Dynasty should not be underestimated, if only Li Yao's 200,000 troops, it will definitely suffer a big loss, so the expansion of the army has become the most important thing, but Li Yao does not have the slightest financial background, if the expansion of the army means that there will be a war, otherwise these armies can drag Li Yao to death!

The reason why Li Yao didn't want to put the second prince back was because Li Yao's army needed to recuperate this winter, if the second prince was put back early, if the Liang Dynasty sent a large army to levy Li Yao, it would not be good, it would be better to put the second prince here, stay for more than a month, and put the second prince back after the New Year, and then his army would have already recuperated, even if the Liang Dynasty sent troops to come, Li Yao would not be afraid!

Moreover, Li Yao's gunpowder is almost exhausted, and the country of Qi has restricted Li Yao's transportation of saltpeter and sulfur, so Li Yao wants to take advantage of this winter to build a sulfur factory and a saltpeter factory, and when the time comes, he will have resources in his hands, so he will not have to be stuck by others!

At this time, the Yangyun envoy also saw the second prince, and the second prince saw the Yangyun envoy coming, and hurriedly said, "Has the money been sent?" ”

The Yangyun envoy nodded and said, "It's already delivered, but Li Yao doesn't mean to release you!" ”

The second prince said fiercely: "I know this, even if he wants to release me, it will be a year ago, he is now sleepy and tired, and he can no longer withstand the big war!" ”

At this time, Yangyun's envoy's eyes lit up and said, "In this way, can our Yidu army attack Li Yao!" ”

The second prince sneered and said, "Just your rabble? It's almost the same to come over and send weapons and equipment to Li Yao, this winter, you inform Yang Yun to recuperate well, and when the spring starts next year, I will lead the army over, and I must defeat Li Yao at that time! I'm going to give him a taste of the pigsty too! ”

When the Yangyun envoy heard the second prince say that they were a rabble, he thought to himself, "Aren't you a rabble? They were all taken prisoner, and they extorted five million taels of silver from us! ”

The second prince didn't notice the expression of Yang Yun's envoy, and said, "You bring a message to Yang Yun and ask Yang Yun to fabricate a letter of state, saying that the responsibility for this war is caused by Nan Jianxiu's disobedience to my command!" When I return to the Liang Dynasty, I don't want to hear anything unfavorable to me! ”

The Yangyun envoy nodded and said, "I understand this!" ”

The explanation is almost over, the second prince waved his hand to let Yangyun's envoy out, Yangyun now lives in the small house where he was imprisoned at the beginning, although there is no beautiful concubine, and there is no delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he does not dislike it at all, he knows that if he proposes to change rooms for Li Yao, he will definitely be thrown to the pigsty!

The defeat in this war gave the second prince a headache, and he couldn't go back for two months, his prestige would definitely drop greatly, so he had to think about how to bring his prestige back!
