The first two conditions of surrender were quite compliant.

Article 1 - Requiring the State of Chu to do nothing against the civilians of Yuedi;

As long as the Yue Kingdom surrenders obediently, and those remnants don't take the initiative to provoke the Chu army without long eyes, then this is naturally not a big problem.

After all, the 20,000 Chu troops dispatched this time were all subordinates under Xiong Wuliang.

And not those soldiers who contribute to the war for free.

If the ordinary soldiers go out to fight, then the best way to boost their morale is to raid after winning the battle - in this era, 'slaughtering the city in moderation' is the normal means of boosting morale after the war, and it is the greatest motivation for those soldiers to risk their lives to win the battle.

This is not only true in this era - looking at the entire ancient times of the land of China!

For example, before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, the later Tang Taizong, had a long and arduous battle, and finally he was about to win the battle, but the other side had to surrender to Li Shimin at this time. After hearing this, Li Jing, the general under Li Shimin's command, immediately rushed to Li Shimin with a group of generals wearing helmets and armor, and said very unceremoniously: "The soldiers follow you to fight, sacrificing their lives and forgetting death, just to win the plundering link after victory." Now that the battle is about to be won, but you accept their surrender, I'm afraid the officers and men of the three armies will not be convinced! ’

Li Jing said very reasonably-Li Shimin is like a contractor, and now the project is about to be completed, you Li Shimin himself is generous, and with a wave of his hand, he said to Party A that the salary does not need to be paid...... But the workers of our three armies did not agree.

Whether you want to pay or not is your business, anyway, our workers' wages can't be missing!

After Li Shimin heard this, he also nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I will take out my personal property and distribute it to the soldiers." ’

Only then did Li Jing leave satisfied, and Li Shimin also accepted the surrender of his opponent smoothly.

It can be seen from the above story - first, if you win the battle, you must slaughter and loot, and if the opposite side chooses to surrender, the victor should not slaughter and loot - this is a natural rule on the battlefield in ancient times.

Second, the army under Li Shimin's command has followed this unspoken rule on the battlefield before, and there are probably a lot of 'cases'!

Li Er's guy has a reputation for being virtuous and loving the people, and even the army under his command takes the slaughter of the city after the victory for granted...... You can see how common this link is!

……

However, the elite soldiers under Xiong Wuliang's command disdain this!

It's not because of how high their moral literacy is......

Rather, there are 20,000 parts, all of which are well-off, and all of them are of a wealthy level - even the most ordinary sergeants have mansions, fields, and mansions, and even have subordinates to serve them at home.

If these 20,000 parts are placed in Europa, they can be called 'knight masters'.

On the other hand, those ordinary Vietnamese civilians were hungry and full, and their family resources were far less abundant than those of Xiong Wuliang's tribesmen, and the thin layer of rice in the rice bowl was not enough to meet the food standards of the many servants in the families of these tribesmen for a few days - it was even a waste of time to rob them.

Since there is no incentive to rob, it is very simple to 'Qiu is not guilty'.

……

Let's look at the second request put forward by Ji Jing -

'The 30,000 soldiers of the Yue Kingdom, retain their establishment, and give them treatment that is not inferior to the Quyang New Army and the Xiao Cavalry Army'.

From the point of view of Ji Jing - these 30,000 people are all old subordinates who have followed him for many years, and they have been fighting and dying for Ji Jing all their lives...... Now that he is about to surrender, he himself will definitely be able to die to apologize and use his life to appease the anger of the Chu State, but he should also find a way out for the other old brothers.

And from Xiong Wuliang's point of view - these 30,000 soldiers are all valuable veterans.

And it is very combative, especially good at mountain and jungle combat.

If you send these Yuedi soldiers when you develop Lingnan or attack Bashu in the future, you can be regarded as knowing people and doing a good job - and the effect will definitely be better than that of Quyang New Army or Xiao Cavalry Army.

If they were to be disbanded or killed, it would be a waste.

As for the so-called 'treatment of the Quyang New Army and the Xiao Cavalry Army' - if it was placed last year, Xiong Wuliang really couldn't afford it.

After all, the treatment of these 20,000 parts, that's amazingly good!

For example, what kind of eldest son can enter the academy to study, arrange a job as a junior official after being disabled and retired, a high pension for the dead or disabled, and a tax reduction and exemption policy for family members...... Ignore these benefits for the time being!

The monthly salary paid to these soldiers is an astronomical amount!

It must be known that the four counties under Xiong Wuliang's rule are all amazingly rich, and Quyang Shangfang and Ping'a Commercial Port are even more powerful - but Xiong Wuliang can only afford to raise 20,000 parts.

But for Xiong Wuliang now, the entire Chu State is under control - it is not difficult to support 30,000 more soldiers.

Moreover, with the outstanding combat power of these 30,000 Yue soldiers, it is also worth Xiong Wuliang to pay such a big price!

……

The first two, it doesn't matter, you can agree to it.

The key lies in the third requirement put forward by Ji Jing -

It's outrageous!

The third requirement of Ji Jing is like this - 'After Xiong Wuliang inherits the throne of Chu, he must give Ji Yi a good treatment, and at the same time, let Ji Yi's eldest son born in the future inherit the title of Marquis of Quyang'.

Xiong Wuliang took the letter from Lu Yi's hand at that time, and swept his eyes, everyone was stupid!

Ah, this?

My reputation as a 'rebel and thief' has spread abroad?

Who told them I was going to usurp the throne?

Even this outrageous condition was thrown out?

I, Xiong Wuliang, are self-denying and conscientious...... cough, it's just for the development and growth of the Chu State! By no means for the throne!

Ha? Don't you believe me?

Ji Yue, who was tied hand and foot, glanced at Xiong Wuliang in shock, and saw the complicated expression on the latter's face, so he added understandingly: "Of course, if you can't inherit the throne of Chu in this life, the widow will not ask you to give Ji Yi any favors." ”

"Anyway, if you can't ascend to the throne of Chu State, the whole of your Hou Mansion will have to die."

"When the time comes, it doesn't matter whether you treat Jiyi well or not."

The words of surprise were very vicious.

Xiong Wuliang's face is already hard to see!

Ji laughed in surprise - first of all, he was not from Chu, and secondly, his death was approaching, so he didn't have the slightest scruples when he spoke at this moment: "What? The dignified Qu Yanghou can't be a ridiculous fool, right? ”

"Do you have to hope that the King of Chu will be kind to you after he takes power? Be kind to your descendants? ”

"Ridiculous!"

"If you are a king, there is a royal family in the country with blood relatives and courtiers, who have self-respecting troops, abundant wealth, and once controlled the core authority of the Chu State...... How will you treat him? ”

Even if Xiong Wuliang was a hundred unwilling, he had to admit that he was right.

Horse-ridden.

I wanted to be a good person...... But now it seems that if you don't be a rebel and a thief, you will die sooner or later!

She laughed again and said contentedly—
