Chapter 411: Negotiation
"Naturally, it's getting late today, and Ben Hou is planning to personally send them out of the city early tomorrow morning. ”
Su Hu smiled slightly and nodded.
"That's very good. ”
Chao Tian was overjoyed in his heart, and continued in a relaxed tone: "Su Hou, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were captured by Jizhou twice before, did Su Hou also send them and leave with Ji Li and General Yu Hua?"
"This ...... I'm afraid it won't work. ”
When Su Hu heard this, he shook his head slightly.
"Huh?"
Chao Tian was surprised, and Yu Qing on the side also twitched slightly.
"Suhou, the king has issued an order to pardon Jizhou, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers are kept, and they also need a lot of rations every day...... What's the use of Su Hou leaving them?"
Chao Tian wondered.
"How to provide for them, General Chaotian doesn't have to worry about this...... Regarding the departure and stay of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Benhou is also preparing a chapter to send someone to report to the king. ”
Su Hu smiled faintly.
"What does Su Hou mean?"
Chao Tian glanced at Yu Qing beside him, then turned his head to ask Su Hu again.
"Nothing interesting...... It's just that Jizhou has fought repeatedly, and only some of the people within dozens of miles of Jizhou have fled back to Jizhou City, and most of the others have fled to a safe place near the left with their sons and daughters...... General Yu Qing led several expeditions to Jizhou, and under the successive battles, the fields near the city of Jizhou were flattened, and there were many people whose houses were burned by the war...... For this loss in Jizhou, Su Hu did not dare to ask the king for compensation, so he could only leave these soldiers in Jizhou for a period of time to help Jizhou City rebuild its prosperity. ”
Su Hu's eyes flashed.
What he said is the truth, in history, before Qin Shi Huang unified the world, Huaxia has always followed the feudal system, and the princes and kings of all walks of life have to be responsible for all the righteous governance and people's livelihood affairs within their own territories.
The world of the gods is certainly not a historical world.
But there are some things in this world that are somewhat similar to history.
In this war, the fertile fields outside the city of Jizhou were basically flattened by the armies of all walks of life, and it would be a heavy burden if Jizhou relied solely on the strength of the military and civilians to restore and rebuild.
"This ......"
Chao Tian was speechless for a moment.
With his understanding of the King of Zhou, no matter what the previous battle was right or wrong, it was absolutely impossible to ask the King of Zhou to pay for the reconstruction of Jizhou. Su Hu wants to leave these soldiers to rebuild Jizhou, which is also a good choice for Jizhou itself.
"Su Hou, I'm afraid this is not suitable...... Taishi is still suppressing chaos in northern Xinjiang, and we, the more than 10,000 soldiers who have been captured, still have to go back to help. Moreover, the defense of Qinglong Pass is empty at the moment, and the 30,000 captured soldiers are also very important, and they cannot stay in Jizhou to participate in the reconstruction!"
Yu Qing on the side was a little anxious, and couldn't help but speak at this moment.
Wen Taishi was ordered to quell the rebellion of the princes of the 72nd Road in Northern Xinjiang, and divided the troops to the Jizhou battlefield of 50,000, the time is short, there is no problem, if the time is long, the battle line of Wen Taishi's side is deep, and more soldiers will definitely be needed to garrison the various cities that have been defeated.
“......”
Su Hu was silent for a while, bowing his head and thinking.
After about a dozen breaths, he spoke again: "General Yu Qing's concern is also reasonable...... In this way, Ben Hou can release the captured more than 10,000 soldiers belonging to General Yu Qing and the 20,000 soldiers belonging to Qinglong Pass...... However, the remaining 90,000 soldiers of the Northern Princes Alliance and 30,000 soldiers of Xiqi will stay in Jizhou and participate in the reconstruction affairs for a year. After a year, I'll let them go back!"
This is the bottom line that Meng Chen explained before.
In fact, Jizhou had long expected the Yin Shang army to come to attack. Most of the people outside the city were taken to Jizhou City by Su Hu. The farmland outside the city is harvested in advance if it can be harvested, and a lot of it is harvested in advance before it is mature, and after drying, it is used as a hay reserve for horses.
According to Su Hu's idea, it doesn't matter whether these hundreds of thousands of soldiers are left or not, Jizhou itself will be mobilized and slowly rebuilt. But Meng Chen insisted on keeping these pawns, saying that there were follow-up plans and needed to complete them.
At present, Su Hu already has 100% trust in Meng Chen. Meng Chen also confessed to him before that he came from a very magical place, and a lot of experience there could be used in Jizhou, so that Jizhou would soon prosper.
“......”
After listening to what Su Hu said, Chao Tian Chao Lei and Yu Qing glanced at each other.
After a while, Yu Qing took the lead in standing up, bowed to Su Hu and said, "Su Hou is a lot, I thank Su Hou for the soldiers and Qinglong Guan soldiers!"
"General Yu doesn't have to be polite. Su Hu waved his hand at Yu Qing, then turned to Chao Tian Chao Lei brothers, and continued: "Since the matter has been talked about here, then after the two generals go back, they will take the trouble to explain this matter to the king. ”
"That's a natural ......," Chao Tian nodded and said, "But Su Hou, right now, the Northern Bohou has sent the righteous daughter 'Chong Xi Mei' into the palace, and this woman is quite favored by the king." ”
For Chao Tian, as long as he wants to return to Yu Qing's soldiers and the descendants of the king of Qinglong Pass, there will be no problem.
Chao Tian knew very well in his heart that the king would definitely not care about the departure and stay of the soldiers of Xibohou and Beibohou. Even in the heart of the king of Xu, I am afraid that he still wishes that Jizhou would leave Xiqi and the northern princes to surrender their troops, so as to weaken the strength of the four princes.
Over the years, the four princes of the east, south, west, and north have gradually grown up, especially the strength and prestige of Xibohou Jichang have increased day by day, which has already made the king of Xuan disgusted in his heart.
The feudal system of the princes is very problematic in this regard, even when the so-called peace of the four seas, the various vassal states are also in chaos one after another.
A wiser "king" will use all kinds of means behind his back to keep the princes of the world in a balance of power, so as not to lose the tail and be difficult to clean up when the chaos arises.
The king of Xuan was able to take over the Yin Shang world, so he naturally understood this truth.
......
At this moment, Su Hu agreed to release the army to which Yu Qing and Qinglong Pass belonged, and Chao Tian's heart was suddenly relieved. At the same time, he felt that he also had an obligation to remind Su Hu about the matter of Beibohou Chonghou Hu.
Although the vast majority of the soldiers of the Northern Princes Coalition captured in Jizhou this time were not directly subordinate to the Northern Bohou, when Jizhou broke the Chonghou Tiger and Chonghei Tiger coalition forces before, it had already accepted tens of thousands of direct subordinate troops from the Northern Bohou. Now that the daughter of the Northern Bohou is favored by the king of Xu, and her status will rise in the future, I am afraid that she will not ignore what Jizhou has done.
"Thank you, General Chao Tian, for the reminder. However, Su Hu knew these things in his heart and would deal with them. ”
Su Hu smiled slightly, nodded towards Chao Tian and said.
"Then there will be no problem! We will still be harassing in Jizhou tonight, and when we wait for tomorrow morning, we will take all kinds of troops and rush back to our territory. ”
Chao Tian laughed, stood up and arched his hand towards Su Hu.
