Chapter 333: The 'Loyalty' of the Subordinate
After Meng Li freshened up the dust on his body, took off his armor and changed into clothes, and walked to the hall of the Taishou Mansion, he heard a passionate and surging sound of worship.
Looking at the traitors who seemed to be shouting at Qianqin with all their strength, Meng Li couldn't help but laugh. Look at the faces of the people who call 'my emperor' without changing their colors and hearts without beating, I don't know, I really think that I have been an official under my own banner for many years~
However, how could Meng Li, who had already understood the way of the emperor, push away these traitors from the former Qin? Not only will he not push them away, but he will also give them a heavy reward, high position! The so-called daughter buys horse bones, but his daughter buys those officials who are not determined by the hostile forces!
If there is a precedent for these people, then those people will not only not resist stubbornly after the Han army arrives, but will also help the Han army to overthrow their glittering 'rotten government'.
"All Aiqing and all the virtuous people of Qianqin, please get up~"
In this situation, Meng Li certainly had a different look. At this moment, he should be the image of an enlightened and benevolent monarch. Therefore, his words were so gentle that the people below felt the freshness of the spring breeze.
"Xie Majesty xià~"
The crowd hurriedly thanked them, and then returned to their assigned seats and sat down.
Under Guo Jia's arrangement, the civil and military generals of the former Han Dynasty and these surrendered people sat facing each other and sat apart. The main position on the right is naturally the civil and military generals led by Zhang Liao, while on the left, there are those former Qin ministers who are greedy for pleasure mainly based on Zhang He, the former Taishou Zhang Wen's staff.
In this way, the factions on both sides were separated, so that those subordinates on the left could recognize their status; It gave them their due, even excessive, status. After all, Zhang He sat on the left hand of the victorious coach Zhang Liao in a battle that was enough to go down in history~!
"Your Majesty, the losses of our Han army in this battle are only five thousand. Killed 70,000 enemies, captured 30,000 enemies, a total of more than 100,000, this is a battle report, please look at it~! ”
As soon as Meng Li sat down, Zhang Liao below seemed to stand up in response, holding a copy of the recital and saying. This move is not lacking in a demonstration to those former Qin ministers. For the vassals who have just surrendered, loyalty cannot be guaranteed, but if they realize the irreversible strength of the Great Han, in some cases, it is more effective than absolute loyalty! Especially for these subordinates who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and have a vegetarian meal.
You must know that the battle losses of the Han army in this battle are really only about 5,000, but the total of various minor and serious injuries is about this number, and the battle losses on weekdays can refer to the total number of casualties. Moreover, the casualties of the enemy army Zhang Liao also added some casualties in the city, after all, this is also a person from the former Qin, isn't it~
Obviously, Zhang Liao's report now has been instructed by 'some people'.
"Huh? No way~! ”
"Sure enough, my XXX choice can't be wrong, Dahan is the most powerful~!"
"Hehe, the group of people who ran away, your insult will turn into our greatest motivation for revenge~!"
……
A noisy discussion and venting sounded in the middle of the group of subordinates sitting on the left-hand side, and when they heard Zhang Liao's terrifying battle report, they were all shocked. Then I couldn't help but congratulate myself on my wise choice, knowing that the 150,000 army of the former Qin had suffered more than 100,000 casualties, which was almost considered a total of casualties.
After 50,000 returned, the wounded, sick, and frightened people had problems, these were all combat attrition under this battle. Under such circumstances, the demise of Qianqin was almost doomed.
Moreover, you must know that seven or eight days before the first seven or eight days of this battle, the Qin army had been defending the city, and the Han army was attacking the city. I'm afraid that most of the casualties of the Han army happened at that time~
Even if their casualties in the past seven or eight days are not counted, the record of 1:20 can really be described as an earth-shattering and weeping number of ghosts and gods.
"Zixiu~"
Glancing at Cao Ang, who was the only one standing next to him, Meng Li's eyes motioned for him to take Zhang Liao's 'battle report' and take a good look. After all, he hasn't had time to ask about the specific process and the actual casualties~
"Well, General Wen Yuan has made great contributions in this battle, and he deserves a heavy reward! However, the former Qin has not been extinguished, and the war is still going on, so this merit will be staked first, and after a while, I will personally reward you on the streets of Jincheng~! ”
Slightly swept a few very conspicuous numbers, Meng Li nodded with great satisfaction. More than 10,000 casualties, to be honest, it was really a surprise. You must know that in Guo Jia's calculations, even if the former Qin has not been able to see anything, and the Han army has tackled key problems from time to time, in this way, the casualties when he comes back will be tens of thousands. And Zhang Liao won a great victory with a small casualty, which is really a famous general through the ages!
Moreover, he also revealed in his words that the Han army would not be satisfied with the status quo, but with a great victory, capture Jincheng and destroy the former Qin! And from his affirmative words of rewarding all the meritorious generals in Jincheng, it shows his ambition to swallow the world. This kind of emperor, as long as he is a person of insight, is very much expected.
And those former Qin ministers are naturally looking forward to it. They are afraid that the Han army will loot and leave, and they will be miserable if they can't escape~
"The last general will not dare~!"
At this moment, Zhang Liao is no longer the hell knight on the battlefield, but a general with an elegant smell.
"Wenyuan, please take a seat~"
At this time, Meng Li also had to express his love for his subordinates, and show the subordinates who had just surrendered and were still nervous, and they in the province thought about what measures were not conducive to the Han army every day.
And after seeing Zhang Liao sit down, there was no Han general or Han Chen who continued to get up and speak, and the old and sophisticated ministers here knew that at this time, it was time for them to 'show loyalty'~!
"Participating in His Majesty, I am a Han iron rider and a chariot to work hard, and the minister specially sacrifices 5,000 loads of grain and grass, so that 300,000 taels of silver will work for my Han iron horse~!"
The first to get up was Zhang He, the staff member of the heroic and righteous Taishou Zhang Wen in the former Qin. Meng Li was taken aback by the number of shots, good guys, they are all rich and flowing, just one family can take out so much grain, grass and silver, so how much can the family in the entire Jinmyanmar City take out?
Even, Meng Li had a faint premonition that just by relying on the 'loyalty' of these families, he would be able to make up for the loss of grain, grass and military salaries in this battle.
"Well, I already understand Aiqing's heart to serve the country. I heard that Lord Zhang He is a staff member of the former Taishou, and he must know the situation here very well, so it is just right, so he will act as the Taishou of this place~! ”
With so many things, Meng Li naturally wanted to give him something in return. And the return of a Taishou can be said to be enough to make up for his loss in a certain Cheng dù~!
And Zhang He didn't expect that the emperor of the Han Dynasty would be so generous. Suddenly, the heart that had just been painful was gone, and the tired body that had been plagued by illness for many years was no longer sore, and the world was so beautiful.
"Xie Majesty xià~!"
Zhang He, who was delighted, forced his ** to jump up, and gave Meng Li a kneeling salute.
And seeing Zhang He's such a rich return, those subordinates suddenly increased the price in their hearts one by one, and you began to show 'loyalty' for me~ (To be continued.) )
