As night fell, the smell of blood in Xiangyang City gradually dissipated.

This war, because of the defection of the people of Xiangyang, can be said to have achieved miraculous results. Many Xiangyang men obediently put down their weapons, and there were not many dead fighters.

According to preliminary statistics, of the nearly 100,000 Xiangyang defenders, only more than 10,000 were killed in the battle, more than 20,000 escaped from the east gate, and the rest have all fallen to the British king. By this time, the total strength of the British monarch's army had reached nearly 150,000.

This force has been greatly replenished, but how to win the morale of the army must come up with means. Of course, Gui Yunzheng was already familiar with this set before, and the generals under his command also knew it well, and it was always a combination of grace and power, and quickly calmed the heart of the surrendering army.

Moreover, after the British army entered the city, it was strictly disciplined, and there was no offense against the people, and most of them were withdrawn from the garrison outside the city, so as to reduce the intrusion of the people. Occasionally, some lawless soldiers were also killed when caught, and the people were also very safe.

Gui Yunzheng and the three of them walked all the way through the streets, and in the not yet bright lights, they gradually smelled a trace of fireworks.

"Senior brother, what the people want is peace!"

Gui Yunzheng's heart was touched and said softly.

"Exactly, senior brother, now that we have laid Xiangyang, what should we do next?"

Xu Lang's heart is still hanging on the war.

"I have already discussed this matter. The places where King Ping can go are none other than Jingzhou and Changsha County. Tomorrow, I will send someone to inform the Ganzhou general Ling Yue, and ask him to go out of Ganzhou to face Changsha, and I will send another general to pass through Jingmen and arrive in Jingzhou. ”

Gui Yunzheng said this roughly, Xu Lang immediately felt a sudden realization in his heart, it seems that the senior brother has already made a plan.

"It's just, senior brother, if Jing Chu is pacified, how can you get along with King Fu's side?"

Xu Lang asked again.

Indeed, when the turf is down, whether the two sides will win or lose or divide the territory is something to consider.

"It's okay, I'll fix another letter and tell Uncle Fu that if it happens, my ministry will return to Xiangyang."

Gui Yunzheng said, not seeming to take this matter to heart.

"This, I'm afraid it's not okay, right? The territory we have worked so hard to win is given to others, no matter how you say it, we are afraid that the soldiers will not accept it, right? ”

Xu Lang was puzzled and asked in surprise.

"Senior brother, look forward to everything, Uncle Fu and I, the goal is the same, it is to get rid of the rebellion and the people, and return the world to peace!"

Gui Yunzheng said and patted Xu Lang on the shoulder.

"It's just that, senior brother, although you think so, the soldiers are afraid that they may not be able to understand your intentions, and can you guarantee that King Fu and the soldiers under his command will believe you?"

Xu Lang was a little worried.

"Alas, but please be worthy of your heart!"

Gui Yunzheng sighed softly again.

"Senior brother, I just want to mention one thing, all the soldiers follow you, I'm afraid that there are many people who want to be the ministers of the dragon, if you are so generous, I am afraid that the military will not be good!"

Xu Lang actually got to the point.

This is a fact that cannot be ignored, many people are definitely because they feel that Gui Yunzheng is the pride of the sky and has the resources of the dragon and phoenix, so they will do their best to complement each other, if Gui Yunzheng can't let them get what they want, I am afraid that there will really be a day when the soldiers will be centrifuged.

For example, Wang Liang and Du Cong's generation, such as a large number of low-level soldiers, their desire for fame is only afraid that it will be difficult to send away!

"Well, the junior brother has a point, let me think about this matter again!"

Gui Yunzheng had no choice but to nod and admit.

This is only a part of Jingxiang, if it is a common world, how to distribute the results of the battle in the future is a difficult matter. It can't be, the two uncles and nephews will fight again!

In Gui Yunzheng's heart, in fact, there are quite a few thoughts of retiring, but now he can't say it anyway.
