Chapter Ninety-Four: Xie Jiao
Seeing that he got the result he wanted, Wei Tiange was not as scary as before, but for many things after the war, it was still inevitable that he needed to decide.
First of all, it is the sacrifice of 200,000 troops, and the current national strength will definitely be a little empty, and in this battle, Yan and Chu are both defeated, and for a while, there can be no threat on both sides, so the most worrying thing is the Jin side.
And the reason why people were sent to envoy Jin State, in addition to stabilizing Jin State, although Yan State was greatly injured in this battle, it was not completely without strength, and the maximum military strength of the Yan Army could reach as much as 300,000, which was completely incomparable to the Chu State and Jin State. Even if he loses 200,000 this time, it is equivalent to saying that Yan Guo has no strength at all.
It is more than enough to deal with a Jin Kingdom, after all, the rapid development effect of Yan Kingdom over the years is obvious.
And the bereavement of the 200,000 dead soldiers is also a large expenditure of the state treasury, which has been vigorously developing the military in recent years, and the financial resources of the state treasury are also stretched, so such a big gap needs to be filled from other places. Moreover, the pension of Yan is very generous, and a large part of the reason for the rapid development of the army of Yan in recent years is that the pension of the army is very generous. After thinking about it, in the end, Wei Tiange still set his sights on the Jin Kingdom.
Over the years, Jin Guo has been making a lot of money and recuperating his energy, so Wei Tiange still wants to make the peace and relatives who deceived Jin Guo before true, and take the opportunity to blackmail Jin Guo in this regard, but this may wronged his own sister.
But these are only temporary, when he rules the world, he will destroy the Jin Kingdom, and then welcome her back to the Yan Kingdom, she can do whatever she wants. This is all Wei Tiange's wishful thinking, and he has never thought about Wei Yingluo's willingness at all.
The rest is the problem of the Xie family, which is also something that Wei Tiange does not want to do for a long time.
Over the years, although Xie Wang has been very arrogant in front of him, he is very good at fighting wars, and he has no scheming, he is relatively easy to control, and there is basically no war that he can't win, but he didn't expect it to be in Qingyun City this time.
Now Xie Wang's son Xie Jiao is still in prison, at first he heard that the 200,000 army of Qingyun City could not win the Chu State, he was very angry, and then after hearing that Xie Wang committed suicide in Jinan Prefecture, he couldn't bear to let the Xie family be broken.
However, if Xie Jiao is not punished, then the people of Yan Kingdom will definitely not accept it, because this battle is caused by Xie Wang's light enemy.
Wei Tiange, who was in a dilemma, had no choice but to throw this problem to Song Xuan, and let Song Xuan go to try Xie Jiao, but he didn't come forward.
At this time, Xie Jiao had been locked up in the prison, and after the defeat of the battle, he successfully escaped under the protection of other Yan troops, but he didn't expect that when he returned to Yanjing excitedly, what was waiting for him was the prison of Yan Kingdom.
Lying on the haystack of the prison, Xie Jiao was still wearing the same clothes as before, and several wounds from the escape were now dry, leaving a few mottled blood stains. After being imprisoned, Xie Jiao was like losing his soul, and his previous handsome appearance had not been taken care of for more than ten days, and he looked very decadent.
Looking at the outside world through the window of the prison, his eyes were dull and did not change.
Song Xuan knew the purpose of Wei Tiange's problem for him, and handed Xie Jiao over to himself to dispose of, it was nothing more than to stop the mouth of the world, he did not shield Xie Jiao, but he was a monarch, and it was impossible to disappoint the people of the world, so he had to bear this punishment and punish Xie Jiao personally.
And Xie Jiao, who was locked up in prison, knew very well what kind of fate he would encounter next, but he was a little unwilling.
Before the battle of Qingyun City, he was the rising star of Yaoyao in the future of Yan Kingdom, and his future was limitless. As a result, his father Xie Wang died in battle, and at the same time, he had to bear the responsibility for losing the war.
When his father asked him to escape, he didn't want to escape, and dying on the battlefield was the fate of these generals, but he couldn't rest assured of the person in his heart, so even if he knew what greeted him when he returned to Yanjing, he still came back without regrets, just to see that person at the last moment.
"Open the door", hearing that someone was coming outside, Xie Jiao's eyes fluctuated slightly, turned his head, and saw Song Xuan coming in.
The two guards opened the cell door, and Song Xuan walked in, looking at the young man in front of him who was determined to live and die, very sad. Although Xie Xuan is Xie Wang's son, he does not have his father's arrogance, and he has been trained in the army at a very young age, and Song Xuan knows him very well.
Maybe it's because he has been exposed to it since he was a child, Xie Jiao showed amazing military talent at a very young age, if it weren't for this accident, Song Xuan really wanted to keep this young man, which can be regarded as his old man's love for his juniors.
However, Wei Tiange's attitude made him dare not be disobedient, this time in the battle, Yan Guo was inexplicably defeated, but defeat is defeat, no matter how much it is, it is useless to say more, so one person must come out to convict to eliminate the families of the 200,000 Yan soldiers who died in battle.
"Send uncle", after Song Xuan came in, Xie Jiao hurriedly stood up, wanting to hide his embarrassment, but his sloppy image these days still couldn't be hidden.
"Nephew Xie, I'm sorry, Uncle Song can't protect you", and then Song Xuan lowered his head guiltily, if this young man in front of him grows up, he is a god of war in Yan Kingdom, he can be born at the wrong time, and it is also a creation to make people.
"I was said like this, Uncle Song, I'm already very happy that you can come to see me", although he was prepared in his heart, hearing this answer, Xie Jiao's eyes were red.
"The monarch has ordered, someone must bear the defeat of this war, you have already escaped at the beginning, why do you want to go back to Yanjing, don't you know the consequences of doing this, you said that it is not good for you to run to the Jin Kingdom, and now you end up like this", Song Xuan looked at Xie Ji with some hatred.
Xie Ji smiled and didn't answer, because he had his own answer in his heart, in order to see that person, if he ran away, it was estimated that he would never see him again in this life. Besides, even if his Xie family is defeated, he must accept punishment with dignity, instead of being a lonely ghost on the run.
"Tell me, what else do you want to do, your Uncle Song doesn't have other skills, but I can still do this requirement."
Xie Jiao shook his head, he didn't want to say anything, but turned his head to look out the window, he didn't want Song Xuan to be embarrassed, although he knew that this must be Emperor Yan's acquiescence, otherwise he wouldn't let Song Xuan come to send him on his way.
"Come on, replace these things here, whether it's food or use, give me the best," since Xie Ji didn't want to say it, he couldn't continue to ask, so he could only do his best to let Xie Ji live a little more peacefully at the last moment.
"Uncle Song, no need, scapegoat, there's no need for that, so that the place where I live is also very good, and the jailer is also very good to me," Xie Jiao stopped Song Xuan's help, and instead retracted his haystack.
Song Xuan sighed desolately, and finally didn't say anything, just asked Xie Jiao to take care of himself, and then went out with red eyes, not wanting others to see it, and at the same time he wanted to enter the palace to see if Emperor Yan could think of a way to save Xie Jiao, he really didn't want to see this future military god of Yan Kingdom fall on the execution ground like this.
And after Song Xuan left, in the Princess Mansion of Yan Kingdom, Wei Yingluo also heard the news that Xie Jiao would be executed in the near future. At this time, she was still fighting a cold war with Wei Tiange, because Wei Tiange wanted to use her to make peace before.
