?

More than a dozen Xia soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and tied up Zang Di's four horses and hooves and pressed them tightly to the ground.

"Pull to the 'gate' of the palace and gather all the people of Jixian County, we have to tell them that from today onwards, there will be no more Yan Kingdom!" All the lands and subjects of the Yan Kingdom belong to the Xia Kingdom, and they will be loyal to the Xia King in the future! Li Xinpeng pulled the reins, raised his gun and pointed at Zang Di who was lying on the ground and said: "If you want to blame, blame yourself for your lack of greed, whose idea you don't think about?" I'm just going to fight our Xia Kingdom's idea! ”

"Li Xinpeng, if you have a seed, kill me here!" Zang Di twisted his body and roared at Li Xinpeng: "What kind of ability is it to humiliate me in front of my subjects? ”

Li Xinpeng pursed his lips and said to Zang Di: "I don't have any ability, but you are not as good as me!" If you have the ability, how can you become my prisoner? ”

Zang Di was ridiculed by Li Xinpeng and had nothing to say, tilted his head to the side, and no longer looked at Li Xinpeng.

A Xia soldier tore off a piece of silk cloth from Zang Di's body and stuffed a few balls into his mouth.

Li Xinpeng did not stop the soldiers from doing this, although he knew that it was of no practical significance to plug Zang Di's mouth with a cloth at this time, but it was of great benefit to humiliate Zang Di and hit the morale of Yan **.

The captives of the Yan Kingdom were escorted by the Xia army to the 'gate' of the palace and kneel on the ground neatly.

"Get on your knees!" Two Xia soldiers escorted Zang Di to the position directly opposite the Yan captive, and one of the soldiers raised his foot and kicked him in the crook of the leg.

Zang Di's 'legs' were weak, and he knelt down with one 'leg'.

He was about to struggle to stand up, but the two Xia soldiers reached out and pressed him on the shoulders and forcibly pushed him to the ground.

Li Xinpeng pressed the long sword on his waist, strode in front of Zang Di, and shouted to the prisoners of Yan who were kneeling on the ground and the civilians of Yan who were driven outside the palace by the soldiers: "Since the division of the Xiangwang Xiting Pavilion, my Daxia army and people have been committed to fighting against the Xiongnu, and have never thought of annexing other princes' lands!" ”

As he spoke, he looked down at Zang Di, who was kneeling on the ground, and then shouted: "But after Zang Di became the king of Yan, the wolf's ambition was difficult to suppress, he first captured Liaodong with an unknown army, killed Han Guang, the king of Liaodong, and then bribed the Huns and some unseen forces of Yan to assassinate the king of Xia. King Xia was forced to have no choice but to exterminate him in order to restore peace to the Yan Kingdom and the people of all countries! ”

Listening to Li Xinpeng's words, the captives and people of Yan Kingdom were all surprised, obviously they didn't expect that this time the Xia army suddenly attacked the city because Yan Wang secretly killed King Xia first.

"Zang Tu has no way! Today, I will kill it for King Xia, and all the lands of Yan Kingdom will be incorporated into the territory of Xia Kingdom, and the Yan ** team will be taken over by Xia Kingdom! When Li Xinpeng spoke, he looked at the Yan people around him, and asked in an octave of voice: "Is there anyone who disagrees with this decision?" ”

It was quiet below, and all the people of Yan Guo lowered their heads, how could half of them dare to say unconvinced.

Li Xinpeng was also honest and unkind, and shouted to the Yan Guoren who were kneeling and standing below: "Since no one is unconvinced, this matter is decided!" Today, on behalf of King Xia, I will get rid of Zang Di for the Yan Kingdom and the people of all countries, do you have any opinions? ”

Most of the Yan people still lowered their heads, and only a few Wenchen who knelt at the front heard that Li Xinpeng was going to kill Zang Di, and they didn't care about the danger, so they 'stood up'.

"You can't kill King Yan!" A Wenchen shouted to Li Xinpeng as if he didn't want to die: "Yan and Xia are both princes, if you want to kill King Yan, it will not be King Xia's turn to be the master, you should report to King Xiang to know, and then make a cut!" ”

"You're not stupid!" Li Xinpeng squinted his eyes slightly and said to the minister of the Yan Kingdom: "Report to King Xiang, can King Xiang still kill him?" If King Xiang wanted to kill him, he would have already done it when he killed Han Guang! Zang Di killed Han Guang, why couldn't King Xia kill him? What's more, it was Zang Di who provoked King Xia first, if it weren't for King Xia's Hongfu Qitian, I'm afraid that Xia Guo was holding a national funeral at this time! ”

After refuting the Minister of Yan, Li Xinpeng knew that it was urgent to kill Zang Di, Mo said that he would report the matter to Xiang Yu, even if he 'handed Zang Di' to Xiang Ye, Xiang Ye might not be able to kill Zang Di due to some external reasons.

If you want to be stable in the future, there is only one way, and that is for him Li Xinpeng to take charge and kill Zang Di.

"Cut Zang Di for me!" Thinking of this, Li Xinpeng waved his hand and shouted to the executioner who had already prepared on the side.

The executioner carried a wide sword, stepped forward a few steps behind Zang Di, he didn't take off the silk cloth that was still stuffed in Zang Di's mouth, just grabbed Zang Di's hair bun, and with the other hand, he held the knife in one hand and slashed at Zang Di's neck.

A stream of blood splattered, spraying the executioner's face all over his face.

When the blood splashed, Zang Di's head rolled out of the way like a ball that had been thrown on the ground, until it rolled in front of a minister of Yan who was kneeling on the ground.

The minister of the Yan Kingdom held Zang Di's head, his eyes were full of tears, and he looked up to the sky and cried.

His cry immediately touched the fragile nerves of many Yan Guowenchen, and many people cried along with him.

Li Xinpeng looked coldly at the ministers of Yan who were crying, and watched them cry for a while before he said loudly: "If anyone dares to cry again, I will let him go down to accompany Zang Di!" ”

Many ministers heard his cruel words and hurriedly stopped crying, only two of them still held Zang Di's head and howled.

One of these two people is the governor of Yan State, and the other is Huang 'Gate' and 'Servant' Lang of Yan State.

Seeing that the two of them were still crying, Li Xinpeng frowned, and whispered to the officer beside him: "Send those two people to Jiuyuan City for me, and tell the king that they are two loyal and righteous people, whether you need to ask the king to cut them off!" ”

The officer answered, and with a few soldiers, he grabbed the two men who were still crying, put them in a carriage, and galloped away from the city.

The two ministers were escorted away, and the onlookers of the Yan Kingdom did not know what their fate would be, and looked at Li Xinpeng tremblingly.

"All the captives are temporarily imprisoned, as for the civilians of Jixian County, how to live their lives, the future official of Jixian County, King Xia, will arrange it!" After saying this, Li Xinpeng turned around and walked into the Yan King Palace.

A few days later, Xiang Ye, who had already arrived in Jiuyuan City, got the news that Li Xinpeng had captured Jixian County and killed Zang Di, and also met the two ministers of Yan who Li Xinpeng had sent to see him.

After he got the news, he was silent for a while, and then said to Jing Ao: "You immediately send someone to Yan Country to inform all the soldiers and horses of Yan Country that those who are willing to surrender to the Xia Kingdom are still under the command of the original generals, and those who are unwilling to surrender to Cheng Cheng have only two ways, either leave the Yan Kingdom and join the Ming Lord, or kill without mercy!" ”

Jing Ao hesitated for a moment after receiving the order, and reminded Xiang Ye: "If we let those armies who are unwilling to surrender to Cheng surrender to others, will it strengthen the power of other princes and bring us trouble?" ”

Xiang Ye smiled slightly and did not speak.

Wu Wei on the side smiled and said to Jing Ao: "If the general thinks that there will be such a result, he should act cheaply, and the king did not say that the general must let them vote for someone else!" ”

After listening to Wu Wei's words, Jing Ao immediately understood that Xiang Ye said this just to let the Yan people know that he would not 'force' the Yan people to surrender.

As for those who are really unwilling to surrender, it is naturally impossible to let them go easily, and on the way of those people's actions, the Xia army can completely set up an ambush and annihilate them one by one!

"I want to meet the two people that Xin Peng sent me!" After arranging the task for Jing Ao, Xiang Ye said to Wu Wei: "The prime minister may wish to go with me to meet, I heard that those two people are loyal and worthy of a great responsibility!" ”

Wu Wei shook his head and said to Xiang Ye: "Hasn't the king heard that loyal ministers don't care about the two masters?" These two people dared to cry loudly when General Li had already made it clear that if anyone cried again, they would be killed together with Zang Di, obviously they were ready to die, and it would be difficult for the king to surrender if he met rashly! ”

"What should I do with that?" Xiang Ye frowned, and said with some confusion: "If I am asked to kill them, I really can't do it!" ”

"No need to kill!" Wu Wei shook his head and said to Xiang Ye: "The minister has a plan, so that the two of them can be willing to serve the king!" And return to the Yan Kingdom with all his heart to serve the king! ”

"What is the Prime Minister's plan?" Hearing that Wu Wei had a plan, Xiang Ye hurriedly asked.

The territory of the Xia Kingdom is very small, although Xiang Ye has recruited a lot of people before, but those people can only meet the governance of the existing territory of the Xia Kingdom, and after the annexation of the Yan Kingdom, the territory of the Xia Kingdom will be expanded by two to three times, and the people recruited by the recruits are far from enough.

What Xiang Ye needs most now is talents, talents who can help him manage the Xia Kingdom and bend the law without favoritism.

"The king issued a false edict and reprimanded General Li for killing King Yan 'privately'." Wu Wei's eyes stared at Xiang Ye's eyes and said word by word: "In addition, a grand memorial will be held for King Yan in Jiuyuan City, and the celebrant will be the two people sent back by General Li!" ”

After Wu Wei's plan came out, Xiang Ye was a little confused by the second monk, and asked suspiciously: "As long as this way, they can be desperate to follow me?" ”

"Of course not enough!" Wu Wei shook his head, and then said: "The king will personally wear linen and filial piety for King Yan, set off from Jiuyuan City, greet King Yan's coffin, and build his tomb on the outskirts of Jiuyuan City!" ”

Xiang Ye twisted his brows and thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't come up with a reason, he let out a long breath and said to Wu Wu: "The prime minister's strategy doesn't sound like it's recruiting Yan Chen, but it seems like admitting that my Great Xia Kingdom is wrong to attack Yan Kingdom!" ”

"Huh." Wu Wei smiled, shook his head again and said: "The subjects of Yan Kingdom are nothing more than nostalgic for Zang Di, in fact, they don't have deep feelings for Zang Di, the king did not do this for Zang Di, but to show the people of Yan Guo the benevolence of the king!" ”~
