?

Yan Jun, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Li Xinpeng angry, so he stood up tremblingly, and many people were still trembling slightly, peeking at Xiang Ye, who had just come to Jixian County.

Xiang Ye beckoned to them, didn't speak, turned around and walked towards the army that Wang Yu had brought.

"Soldiers, you have worked hard!" When he arrived at this army, Xiang Ye pressed the hilt of the long sword in his hand, smiled at them and shouted: "If it weren't for you this time, it would never be possible to defeat the enemy so smoothly, you are the heroes of this battle!" ”

This new surrendered army has no commander, and when the officers and soldiers saw Xiang Ye greeting them, they were all stunned and didn't know how to deal with it.

After a long time, a more agile officer stepped forward and walked out of the queue, half-kneeling towards Xiang Ye and shouting: "From now on, I am willing to follow King Xia to achieve immortal hegemony!" ”

When the officer knelt, the army behind immediately reacted, and they all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "I am willing to follow King Xia to achieve immortal hegemony!" ”

Xiang Ye had a smile on his face, raised his hand to the army kneeling in front of him and said: "The widow doesn't want to achieve any immortal hegemony, the widow has only one wish, that is, our Great Xia Kingdom will never have a foreign invasion, and everyone can live their lives in peace!" ”

"King Xia is benevolent! Long live the Summer King! Xiang Ye's voice lagged behind, Li Xinpeng and Wang Yu lost no time in shouting slogans, and Xia Jun and Liu Shanbu Yanjun, who had just surrendered, followed behind and shouted.

The captured Yan army looked at the 'excited' Xia army and Liu Shanbu Yan army with fear, many of them were ready to die, in previous wars, the prisoners of war on the defeated side were generally killed, even if they survived, they must have suffered humiliation.

To the surprise of these Yan Jun, Xiang Ye returned to them, not only in front of them, but also with a smile on his face.

"Yan army soldiers!" Xiang Ye straightened his waist, looked at the Yan army captives who couldn't see their heads at a glance and shouted: "If any of you are willing to join the Xia army, you can report to General Li Xinpeng, if you are unwilling to join the Xia army and are willing to return to your hometown to farm, we will also give you the travel fee and let you go home!" ”

As soon as he said this, the Yan army captives suddenly boiled, and many people even wondered if there was something wrong with their ears, the Xia army captured them, not only did not kill them, but also let them choose where to go in the future.

"Big brother, let's go home!" A soldier of the Yan Army pulled the fellow villager next to him and whispered: "King Xia said that as long as we are willing to go home, he will pay the passage fee, I have long been homesick and never want to fight again!" ”

The fellow villager beside him glared at him fiercely, lowered his voice and said, "Do you believe this?" I'm telling you, if you choose to go home, you might be caught up and killed after you don't get far! We are captives, and the ghost believes that you will really go home, and we have only one way to go, and that is to join the Xia Army! ”

"Oh!" The Yan soldier who spoke first was frightened into a cold sweat by his words, and hurriedly patted his 'chest' and said nothing.

Xiang Ye stood in front of nearly 100,000 Yan troops, quietly waiting for their choice.

"King, we don't go home, we are willing to follow the king and make contributions to the king!" After a long time, a Yan army captive shouted out their decision to Xiang Ye, and the few Yan soldiers who wanted to go home were ready to leave the team, but seeing that Tong Ze was still standing still, they all returned to their own positions.

"Good!" Xiang Ye nodded and shouted to the nearly 100,000 Yan army: "Since you are willing to join the Great Xia army, then I will tell you about the privileges enjoyed by the Xia officers and soldiers. All my Great Xia warriors, calculated according to the number of heads, each person will be allocated ten acres of 'fat' fields, which will be cultivated by their families, and if they die in battle, Great Xia will also compensate their families. Of course, I'm talking about being killed in battle, not being killed by enemy captives! ”

When Xiang Ye spoke, everyone outside the city was listening quietly, and outside Jixian County, where nearly 200,000 people were standing, it was quiet, and there was no sound except for the wind.

"Our soldiers in Great Xia have more privileges than this, if you have a wife in your family, if your wife cheats, once it is found out, she will communicate with her. The traitor will be punished by the two of them, no matter what their status, even if they are nobles, they will not have the privilege of being pardoned! Because you are the most respectable nobles in my Great Xia! "When the army went out, Xiang Ye naturally knew what they were worried about, and cut off their scruples at the beginning, and won over the hearts of the newly surrendered Yan army and the captured Yan army.

"That's it! That's all I have to say, and there are many more, let General Wang Yu tell you! Xiang Ye looked at Li Xinpeng behind him, and seeing that Li Xinpeng looked a little absent-minded, he beckoned to Wang Yi and said, "You come and continue to talk to them." ”

Wang Yu stood in the position where Xiang Ye was standing just now, preaching to Yan Jun about Xia Jun's military regulations and policies, while Xiang Ye stretched out his hand to hold Li Xinpeng's shoulder and walked towards a secluded place with him.

"Xin Peng, what's wrong? The mood is not high! After walking farther, Xiang Ye asked Li Xinpeng in a low voice, "Do you miss Xin Tong?" ”

Li Xinpeng nodded, and admitted very calmly: "Yes, it has been a long time since I came out of Jiuyuan City, and she was already pregnant for a month when I came out, I don't know what happened now!" ”

"Huh!" Xiang Ye patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, you are my brothers, Xin Tong and the others are naturally my sisters, she is pregnant, I am also very happy, every day Han Xian will check her pulse, now it is still early before labor, the child will definitely not be born when you go back!" ”

"That's it!" Li Xinpeng nodded, then changed the topic to Xiang Ye and asked, "There is something I don't quite understand, why did the king take in those Yan Jun?" even promised that if they were unwilling to join the Xia Army, they could also pay them to return to their hometowns? ”

"Did they go back?" Xiang Ye pursed his lips, stared at Li Xinpeng with unblinking eyes and said with a smile: "Even if I really give them the travel fee, they won't dare to leave!" ”

Li Xinpeng looked at Xiang Ye with some puzzlement, he didn't understand why Xiang Ye was so confident.

"They are prisoners of war, and it is already infinite mercy that we do not kill them." Xiang Ye smiled and patted Li Xinpeng's shoulder and said confidently: "If you follow the normal procedure, they are all damned people, and even if they don't die, they will be humiliated." I asked them to join the Xia army because our army needed people, and we needed more warriors to fight the Huns; As for the people who promised them to go home to receive the passage money to go home, it is ugly to say, that is really a. The son also set up a torii for himself! ”

Speaking of which, Li Xinpeng still didn't understand why Xiang Ye was so confident, and looked at him without saying a word.

"I said they were captives!" Xiang Ye put his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked at the few white clouds floating in the clear blue sky, and said in a confident tone: "If any of them are willing to leave, no one knows whether they will return to their hometown to farm in peace or set up another force to oppose my Great Xia, I will naturally send someone to intercept and kill them all on the road." I know this, and so do those Yan troops who surrendered, so they won't leave, and even if someone wants to go, they are just a few fools! ”

"Oh!" Li Xinpeng nodded suddenly in realization, and then asked Xiang Ye: "Now that Zang Di is dead, what should we do with Yan Guo?" Will it be annexed or a new king will be created? ”

Xiang Ye pursed his lips, turned to look at Li Xinpeng and said, "Naturally, it is to be annexed, how could I let go of such a good opportunity?" ”

"Then I'll do it right away!" As soon as Li Xinpeng heard Xiang Ye say that he wanted to annex Yan Kingdom, he hurriedly turned around and walked back.

"Wait!" He had only taken a few steps before Xiang Ye stopped him again and said to him: "When doing this, you must pay attention to one point, since ancient Yan Zhao has been a generous and tragic person, don't 'force' them too tightly, otherwise they will definitely do something unexpected to us, and treat the old Yan Kingdom with courtesy." Of course, the rights in their hands are to be taken back in full. ”

Li Xinpeng answered, turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Li Xinpeng's departure, Xiang Ye sighed a little helplessly.

At the beginning, he took refuge in Xiang Yu in order to let the people around him live a little more freely in the future and not be threatened by anyone.

At that time, his heart was full of desire to become strong, but when he really became strong step by step, successively defeated the Xiongnu's attack on Great Xia, and then captured the Yan Kingdom, he realized that his strength had to pay more people's lives.

He regretted it a little, regretting his choice.

But he had no way out, it was like a man who had finally climbed the cliff, and when he climbed the cliff, he found that the moment he got up the cliff, he was so excited that he kicked down the only rope that could send him down the mountain.

There is no way back for him, the only thing he can do is to keep making himself stronger, until one day he can completely subvert the history of Chu and Han, erase Liu Bang from history, and open up a different era.

When Xiang Ye entered Jixian County, Li Xinpeng had already arranged everything.

The civilians in the city were greeted by the streets, and the old Yanguo guys also took to the streets to greet Xiang Ye under the supervision of Xia Jun.

Along the way, Xiang Ye kept arching his hands towards the civilians on the side of the road, and when he saw the greeting team formed by the old Yanguo from a distance, he hurriedly jumped off his horse and walked over.

"I, Xiang Ye, how can I have to work to greet you!" Walking in front of these old Yan Guo guys, Xiang Ye had a smile on his face, and he arched his hand at these Yan Guo old guys and greeted them very politely.

Although the old guys of Yan Kingdom had a bright smile on their faces, they were bitter in their hearts like swallowing half a catty of Coptis chinensis, if it weren't for the Xia army 'forced' them with spears behind them, they wouldn't want to come out to meet Xiang Ye, the enemy who had invaded Yan Kingdom. ~
