In the hall of the front yard, after seeing His Majesty the Emperor coming over unharmed, many courtiers finally really settled down, and the smiles on their faces were a little brighter.

After Sun Ning sat at the top, they saluted together: "The ministers have seen Your Majesty, fortunately, Your Majesty planned and designed, and risked their lives, and finally let the imperial court retake Kuizhou City at the lowest cost!" ”

Sun Ning looked at the people in front of him, in addition to Yang Xuan and Xiao Keding, there were also Ba Long, Yang Jianting and other newly descended leaders of the Sichuan and Shu tribes, at this time, they all looked extremely deferential, and they were no different from the Han courtiers in the court.

This naturally relied on a series of big victories, especially the capture of Kuizhou City at a very small cost of casualties.

After this victory, these people should have truly surrendered to their feet.

Thinking in his heart, Sun Ning reacted extremely quickly, and immediately waved his hand: "Everyone, sit down and talk." ”

After they thanked and sat down again, he glanced at everyone again: "It's not my own work to be able to take Kuizhou so easily, it's all you, and your soldiers have fought hard." By the way, what are the overall casualties of our army? ”

Xiao Keding glanced at the other people, and then said: "Your Majesty, the casualties in the capture of Kuizhou this time are much less than imagined, but there are still more than 2,000 dead and wounded, of which more than 500 people were killed in the battle, half of them are the soldiers of the Japanese battalion who entered the city with you before, and the other half are Ba soldiers. ”

Sun Ning sighed when he heard this: "The soldiers of the Japanese camp are all good, I will not forget them, the court will not forget them, and in the future, I will not forget them."

"You have people go and register the names and places of origin of these sacrificed soldiers, and when everything is settled, they must live and be compensated, and they must not be allowed to die in vain. Their families, those who have children, should make proper arrangements to enter the ranks of the middle officials, and cultivate good students, and only the old parents will be supported by the government. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers must act in accordance with the will and not let the soldiers chill." Xiao Keding hurriedly got up again and answered.

Sun Ning nodded, and looked at Ba Rong again: "Ba Patriarch, if you can successfully take Kuizhou this time, you Ba soldiers are also very meritorious, and the court deserves a great reward." In this way, for each soldier, the court will give twenty taels of silver for compensation, and when this time is completely pacified, Kuizhou will be handed over to you Ba people to govern. ”

Ba Long was still a little worried that the other party would come to cross the river and tear down the bridge, after all, now that the entire Sichuan and Shu have basically been pacified by the imperial court, their role in Ba people is no longer there.

Now when he heard Sun Ning arrange this, he was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "On behalf of all of us, I would like to thank His Majesty the Emperor for the reward." In the future, as long as His Majesty the Emperor gives an order, we Ba people will move forward bravely and never retreat. ”

He was indeed extremely excited at this time, this is Kuizhou, which is one of the most prosperous places in Sichuan and Shu, and it is where the powerful Long family wants to take root here......

Compared with this, the territory where the Ba people have lived for many years is really poor, and being able to gain a foothold here is the greatest gift for all the Ba people.

"You don't have to thank me, this is what you Ba people deserve, and you took it by your own bravery." Sun Ning said with a smile, "As long as you remain loyal to the imperial court in the future, then I will fulfill my original promise and divide Sichuan and Shu with your Ba people and the Banzhou Yang clan." ”

Painting another cake naturally made Barong even more pleased, and Yang Jianting hurriedly got up to thank him.

However, this time their Yang family's soldiers and horses did not make any contributions, so they could only watch with envy that the Kuizhou heavy land completely fell into the hands of the Ba people.

But fortunately, Huayang has been divided into their Yang family, plus Banzhou and other places, as long as the imperial court does not regret it at that time, his Yang family will become the largest force in Sichuan and Shu.

Of course, all this will have to wait until Sun Ning returns to the Central Plains, and even revives Dayue before it can be truly cashed. And for the development of their own family, whether it is the Ba people or the Yang family, in the next war, they will do everything to assist the imperial court to fight back to Luoyang!

After promising enough benefits to the Ba people and the Yang family, Sun Ning rewarded several Han generals, which were just some silver cloths or some official promotions, which were much smaller than the two foreign heroes.

After sorting out his internal situation, Sun Ning asked about the situation of the various departments in Kuizhou and the Long family: "How many heads of the Long family have been taken?" How many people took advantage of the chaos to escape, and where did they go? ”

This time, Xiao Keding didn't have the same smile as before, and his expression became extremely solemn: "Back to Your Majesty, although there was already a great chaos in the city at that time, because our army only broke through the south gate of the city and entered, it was impossible to control the whole city in time, resulting in many barbarian leaders escaping from other directions.

Although the ministers immediately sent troops and horses to pursue them, they were unable to capture them all. So in the end, the patriarchs of the five tribes took some of the people and fled away, and on the side of the Long family, there were also Long Jinghai and Long Kuo, who were missing, and the other people of the Long family were all taken or killed......

"The original masters of the Long family, Long Chengbang and Long Jingyao, were also found dead in the Tusi Yamen......"

After Sun Ning heard this, he showed a smile, the situation was better than he thought, the Long family left two people, plus five clan patriarchs fled, the threat was indeed not too big.

"Well, you're doing a good job, and although there are fish that have slipped through the net, they can't afford to make any waves. What we have to do next is to continue to send troops and horses to find those large and small tribes that are vassals of the Dragon Family, and let them make a choice, whether to destroy or surrender.

"I believe that at this time, whether their patriarch can return or not, these barbarians will make the right choice."

After saying this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "What about the other dragon family members?" ”

"Together with the leaders of the patriarchs who were taken down, they are all imprisoned, just waiting for Your Majesty to fall."

As Xiao Keding replied, everyone present looked at Sun Ning, guessing what he would do with these people.

In Ba Long and Yang Jianting's opinion, the emperor's treatment of the Long family should be similar, at most, to expel them from Kuizhou, and then find a poor rural place to settle down.

After all, the Mu clan was like this in the imperial court before, and now it's just a matter of doing it again.

But Sun Ning then opened his mouth, but everyone was taken aback: "Spread my will, the people of the Long family are the first to resist the imperial court, and the king is the last, it is really an unforgivable crime, and not killing is not enough to correct people's hearts."

"Therefore, I decided to behead all the descendants of the Long family and expose their bodies for three days to set an example. As for the leaders of the other barbarian tribes who are attached to the Long family, if there are those who refuse to surrender, they will also be beheaded! ”
