Chapter 1297: The Surrender of the Beast Kingdom

"See His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty......"

Under the leadership of General Mi Peng, hundreds of relatives and nobles knelt outside the royal city to welcome Li Xiang's arrival.

Although this guy rebelled and achieved some success, this guy did not dare to be arrogant.

Take the final victory as an example, it was not that he led people to fight, but the king himself surrendered, because the southern Ogaraba had been occupied, and the king's back road was gone, so the king himself was already a spirit without resistance, and led his palace guards out of the city to surrender.

If this is not the case, I am afraid that their war will continue to fight, after going down to enter the city of King Pi, he has also tried to attack the imperial city several times, but the result is not satisfactory in the end, those who can retreat to the imperial city are some elites, and the reserves of the imperial city are relatively large, if he continues to fight, according to his own estimate, he can hold out for at least two to three months.

So when I see Li Xiang now, this guy doesn't dare to say how much credit he has to be able to end the war quickly, this is still because of the strong strength of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is Li Xiang's strategy, to deal with such a small country, Li Xiang is already very methodical, the north and the south are flanking, and it is better to hit them psychologically than to hit them from reality.

If you push from north to south, the Tang army can also achieve victory, but it takes more time, and the effect is not very good, if there is any bloody case, it is very likely that the local people will fight with us for decades, or even hundreds of years, which is a very cost-effective thing.

But the psychology of hitting them is different, when their will to resist is all gone, we just need to lie down and wait for victory, now this is such a situation, after the fall of Ogaraba, the entire country of Pi does not think that they can still win, no matter what the situation is, even if the gods descend to earth, it is possible that they will not be able to save the country of Pi.

When the edict of His Royal Highness the King was issued, the magistrates from all over the country surrendered one after another, and led the troops and officials to wait outside the city for the Tang Dynasty army to break through, and it took less than half a month to control the main large cities of the Pi Kingdom.

In the next three months, Li Xiang will also let Li Youqian's men start to march everywhere, we only mastered the transportation arteries and big cities before, and the next thing we have to control is the whole country.

At the beginning, it was very smooth, because these people surrendered voluntarily, but the next time may not be so good, the remaining part of the people still want to resist, it is useless for you to persuade them just by mouth, you have to make them really surrender, then we need to use some force.

"The general can abandon the darkness and surrender to the light as soon as possible, and the role played in the battle of the Tang Dynasty to occupy the country of Pi is not small, everything can be remembered by this king, from now on, this king will be the general of the town of the country of Piu."

Standing in front of all the relatives and nobles, Li Xiang's words can be regarded as a relief to the general, after having Li Xiang's personal canonization, although he is just a puppet, he is also the highest status among everyone, and he will not worry about eating and drinking in the future.

"Thank Your Highness the Emperor for your grace."

General Mi Peng kowtowed three times, and some people could see that this guy's head was red, mainly because the land was not hard, otherwise he would have to break his scalp to show loyalty.

The other people who surrendered also had their own rewards, of course, there were not so many for them, at most it was an honorary title, and as for their original positions, Li Xiang must have plundered them all.

Li Xiang had a letter with the general before, if the local officials can be retained, then they will be retained, we are not so impersonal, as long as they can help us take care of the whole, is it not normal for the country to give them an official and a half-position? You can't just let the horse run and not give the horse fodder, which is also unreasonable.

But General Mippen knew these people too well to give them much power, and if they were given too much power, these people would have turned the whole country into a miasma, and I don't know what these people were thinking now, and if there was a Restoration Party, there would probably be a mutiny in the future.

So under the persuasion of the general, Li Xiang could only take off everyone's official positions, of course, the news also inadvertently flowed out, and the Tang Dynasty meticulous works can be said to be pervasive.

Of course, what they said is also true, our Royal Highness the Imperial Prince is ready to keep your official position and give you a chance to be loyal, but General Mippen thinks that this is inappropriate, after all, you are all former ministers of the previous dynasty, if you are allowed to fly too high, it may be difficult to control in the future.

So when the news came out, many people looked at the general differently, you guy got what he wanted, and now he is still high, although there is no family, but if you marry a lot of wives, you can still have children and grandchildren, after all, your current age is not very big.

But what good are we people to have an empty name? Now they can still be given money, but if there is any change in the future, their batch will be the first batch to be cut, only with an official position can they be regarded as having real power, no matter what kind of changes occur, they can deal with it, and the current ability to deal with it is almost zero.

What Li Xiang has to do is this, let the people inside them hate each other, if the people within you cooperate with each other, then how should I Datang master this?

"It seems that you didn't fight too fiercely, Wang Gong's preservation is still intact, and from today on, this will become the capital of the Tang Dynasty."

Standing outside the palace, Li Xiang saw that the wall was quite neat, if there was any damage, this place should be the most seriously damaged, not to mention the inside that was well preserved now.

"It's all up to His Royal Highness the Taisun to order."

General Mipone naturally didn't dare to have other ideas, when the time comes, the Metropolitan Protectorate will be established, then there will be a Metropolitan Protector, he should be the real power here, as for people like himself, he will actually be a puppet at that time, what do those people outside have to envy? Am I much better than you?
