These people all had a difficult face when they heard the previous words, and some of them also showed unbearable expressions, but the last sentence made their eyes shine, and Gao Qianli asked everyone's hearts: "Governor Pei, can those villages that have been beaten down really belong to us?" ”

Pei Shiju smiled slightly: "The policy of the imperial court in Lingnan remains unchanged, in principle, as long as you lords are called ministers and endowments, we will not occupy more places for your slang, or leave it to you to solve it yourself, Wang, Zhou, and Chen are all your big clans in Lingnan, covering a vast area, but in this battle, the adult males are almost dead, presumably with the strength of the lords, it will not be a problem to clean up these old, weak, sick and disabled." ”

But Pei Shiju's eyes flashed, and his voice immediately became as cold as winter: "It's really not good, my heavenly soldiers will also help in time, but this official has said first, only the place that is defeated within three months will be yours." And if this governor thinks that it is unfavorable for the lord to fight and tolerate the thieves, then he will be guilty of the same crime as the three thieves of Wang, Zhou, and Chen, and be exterminated together, do you understand? ”

These lords were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their backs, how could they dare to say half a word, they kowtowed like a change of garlic, and Gao Qianli had the courage to ask: "Governor Pei, may I ask which senior member of the imperial court is going to send to supervise the war this time to exterminate the remnants of the rebel army?" ”

Pei Shiju smiled and waved his hand: "There are still a lot of things to be done in the imperial court, Panyu and Donghengzhou, the post-war reconstruction work is very heavy, and the matter of chasing down that Ren Gui is also urgent, so this time you exterminate the remnants of the three traitors, the imperial court will only count the results of the battle in three months, and the one responsible for coordinating the battles of each ministry will be responsible." The official decided to hand it over to the Guizhou slang man Qu Shuai. Lee Kwang-shi, who has contributed to this crackdown on bandits. ”

As soon as these words came out. There was an uproar, and all the Qu Shuai on the ground stood up, first looking at Li Guangshi with shocked eyes, and then expressing dissent. Although Wang Huaqiang did not discuss these post-war dispositions with Pei Shiju in advance today, he understood Pei Shiju's intentions when he heard this, and he was full of emotion in his heart:

Although Lingnan won a great victory in this counterinsurgency, it only wiped out the barbarian army of the three tribes that took the lead in the uprising, and their tribes were still there. Although they are mainly old and weak, they can still recover their vitality after more than ten years, and these people really hate the court to the bone, as Pei Shiju said, once there is a chance in the future, there will be trouble again.

Therefore, Pei Shiju's method of cutting the grass and eradicating the root cause is to cure the symptoms and cure the root cause, but if this matter is done by the Sui army, it will be protracted, and these surrendered barbarians will be in danger for everyone. Although these tribes often attack each other in order to compete for hunting grounds, there are not a few who marry each other. Coupled with the sadness of the rabbit's death and the fox's death, it is inevitable that there will be no dissenting intentions, and after the withdrawal of the Sui army, he will take revenge and cause trouble again.

But if these people are allowed to execute the captives tomorrow, and let their hands be stained with the blood of these three tribes, then they will have a mortal enmity with the three tribes, and then let them exterminate the three tribes, and divide them according to their lands, in the face of this kind of open land reward, few people are not moved, not to mention that the men of the three tribes are all dead, and now they are completely vulnerable, and they can not only prevent future troubles, but also take people's territory, why not?

Wang Huaqiang secretly sighed in his heart that under Pei Shiju's seemingly weak appearance, he was decisive in killing, and he was no worse than himself in terms of black power and strategy, and this kind of checks and balances was extremely clever, Mrs. Xian and Feng Ang made great efforts in this battle, it is said that the benefits of exterminating the remnants of the rebels and annexing the rebel territory should be divided between them, at least Feng Ang should be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the sweeping army.

However, after this battle, Mrs. Xian defeated Wang Zhongxuan, who was the same size as her tribe before the war, and faintly dominated Lingnan.

And the commander-in-chief of this sweeping army, gave the left and right, Li Guangshi, who has a bad stomach, this is more particular, he is among these lords, the strength is reversed, let such a person command the sweep, it is bound to expand its own power in the process of sweeping, because its nest is in Guizhou, west of Lingnan, to Panyu in the southeast of Lingnan to sweep, if it occupies the territory, it is bound to move the whole family.

At that time, this kind of fox and fake tiger power outsiders will definitely eat ugly for their new territory, and Gao Qianli, the old tribes that have also been located in the southeast of Lingnan, will have contradictions, so that in the hometown of the original three major tribes, a new strong will not rise again, and it can be strong enough to pose a threat to the imperial court.

Wang Huaqiang was thinking about it, but Pei Shiju coldly threw down a sentence, which instantly quieted down these lords: "Lords, please don't forget your identity, you are rebellious, the Celestial Empire will not investigate your crimes, and let you have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, which is lenient enough."

When Lord Li was in Donghengzhou, he took the initiative to return to our army, and later volunteered to come back to the tiger's wolf's den to persuade everyone Anyway, who dares to say that the credit in this battle is higher than that of Li Guangshi? Please stand up for yourself!"

When Pei Shiju said that, his voice was violent, and his words revealed a chilling murderous aura, and his eyes slashed at the faces of each of the lords in the tent, making them bow their heads one after another, which of these lords who surrendered on the battlefield dared to say more! I had to say yes one by one.

Li Guangshi walked out from the end, triumphantly glanced at the lords who looked at him coldly, and when his eyes fell on Pei Shiju, he changed to a deferential expression: "Sinner Li Guangshi, who will not give up by God's grace, is grateful, he must serve the imperial court, and he will not give up!" When he said this, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, squeezed out two tears, and rubbed his eyes red, as if he was really crying.

Pei Shiju also put on a smiling face and held up Li Guangshi: "Lord Li, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and the emperor is also looking at your meritorious performance, tomorrow is the time to kill the traitorous party, you and other lords have a good discussion, and the specific matter will not interfere with your arrangements, don't let us down." ”

Li Guangshi was flattered and retreated, and although those lords were unhappy in their hearts, they all saluted helplessly and retreated, and the middle and low-level officers and guards standing on both sides were also ordered to withdraw by Pei Shiju, and only Pei Shiju, Murong Sanzang, Wang Huaqiang and Feng Ang were left in the tent.

Feng Ang was obviously a little dissatisfied with the arrangement just now, he bowed his hand, and said to Pei Shiju, who sat back behind the handsome case: "Governor Pei, may I ask about the post-war disposition, won't our tribe arrange it?" Those Panyu tribes are more or less related to those three traitor tribes, and the humble generals are only afraid that they will indulge in selfishness. ”

Pei Shiju's face sank suddenly: "General Feng, in front of everyone just now, the official gave you enough face, and I can't bear to break it, since you said so, then this place is your own person anyway, and the official wants to ask you, if you want to say that you have a close relationship with the traitor, Brother Feng Xuan is only afraid that he will be closer than those lords just now." ”

As soon as these words came out, Feng An's face changed greatly: "Governor Pei, may I ask what you mean by this?" ”

Pei Shiju said coldly: "Feng Xuan and Chen Fozhi have been friends since childhood, this crusade against the rebels, so that grandmother Mrs. Xian originally ordered Feng Xuan to lead the troops to suppress the thieves, but Feng Xuan hesitated because of his relationship with Chen Fozhi, supported the army, and set up a camp with the rebels to confront each other, just for show, causing the former Guangzhou governor General Wei Xun to die in ambush because he was isolated and helpless, and Panyu City was also besieged by the thief army for several months, I didn't wronged him." ”

The corners of Feng An's mouth twitched, and he protested: "But when my grandmother heard the news, she ordered the humble general to gallop to the army, take down the brother, and the inferior general took over the whole army, and exterminated Chen Fozhi at night." ”

Pei Shiju nodded: "These officials all know, but merit is merit, and it is wrong, and it can't be confused, General Feng, here are all your own people, listen to me, those three traitor tribes are all in the southeast of Lingnan, and you who live in Luozhou, Gaozhou, and have been in the southwest of Lingnan for generations are far away, for the sake of these remaining territories, but slaughtering women and children, and resenting each other, it is really not a glorious move, and it must not be of much interest to grandmother."
