Shaowu gave a thumbs up and said: "Senior brother, can you see this? I have been in the court for many years, I thought that I would be able to be happy and angry, but I didn't expect to be seen through by you at a glance." ”

Huwa smiled: "It's not you who have flaws, although Senior Brother Pan Gu didn't speak, but his eyebrows danced secretly, and the blind man couldn't notice it...... Tell me, what is it?"

Shaowu: "I want to thank my junior brother for his recommendation, I just received the battle report from the front line this morning, and General Lingbao took Yancheng again." Zheng Jun still wanted to talk about the conditions, but Lingbao didn't give him this opportunity; now that the general trend has been decided, Zheng Muguo will have to surrender if he doesn't surrender. ”

Huwa was also pleasantly surprised: "Congratulations in advance to Senior Brother for pacifying Zheng Muguo, even so, I can rest assured that I can go back to Jinshan to do my own thing, and not let Ah Yuan wait for a long time." ”

Shaowu: "I plan to take advantage of the official surrender of Zheng Muguo to announce the crimes of Yingzhu, Yu Pu and others, and publicly execute a group of criminals escorted from Zheng Muguo, won't my junior brother wait for that day?...... The ceremony of surrender should also be performed by you. ”

Huwa shook her head and said: "Yingzhu is dead, I killed it with my own hands, and now it is just another death." As for the murderer, there is no need for the lord to do it himself, and it can be handed over to the executioner. As for the celebrant of the surrender ceremony, I recommend the deputy priest Zhengxiling. Zheng Muruguo's situation was more complicated than that of Ba Muruguo, and Xiling was appointed to temporarily serve as Fumin Daren to deal with the aftermath. ”

......

The envoy sent by Zheng Jun here has just met Ba Jun, how did Lingbao over there take another city? During this time, there was more than one group of people who had a secret conversation in private. Just when Zheng Jun and Gu Caiqi were discussing in Yingzhu Ridge, the City Lord's Mansion of Weichuan City had become a temporary command camp, and the three front generals such as Lingbao, Xiaoyang, and Lin Xiao also had some discussions.

Looking at the distribution map of the battle line that had just been drawn, Lin Xiao said: "A few days ago, most of the military formations in the direction of Yancheng have been transferred out of the city outline, and the other small part of the military formations originally wanted to cut off the rear route of our army. It has now been routed by reinforcements in our rear. The last reinforcements assembled in the country are coming, do you want them to immediately reroute and attack Yancheng directly?"

Lingbao squinted his eyes and said: "I ordered those five army formations not to assemble in Weichuan City, and directly killed in the direction of Yancheng, not to be able to attack the city, as long as the defenders on the border line were entangled, so that the other party had no time to retreat to the city." Half of the troops in Weichuan City were left to garrison, and I personally led the army to set off. Kill from the flank to Yancheng, and you will take it in one fell swoop. ”

Xiao Yang hesitated a little and said: "We have achieved great success in capturing Weichuan City, so we don't need to fight again for the time being." As long as this city is firmly held, sooner or later, Zheng Muguo will sue for peace or surrender, so why don't we wait?...... Although Zheng Muroguo lost Weichuan City, the main force of the army was not annihilated, and the cost of the decisive battle was still very high. ”

Lingbao pointed to the map and said, "The main force of the Zheng Muguo army is still there, but I don't want to fight them to the end. If you take the smoke city, you can't wait any longer. It is necessary to march at full speed and capture the enemy forces that have been transferred out of the city before they can return to defense.

According to the secret news, some people in the Zheng Dynasty advocated peace talks, and some people clamored for a bloody battle to the end, especially many generals in the army who held heavy troops and still had illusions. If they are not subdued, Zheng Muguo will not surrender willingly.

Even if the main force of Zheng Muguo's army was not damaged? If they lost another city, they would have no room to advance or retreat, and they would not even have enough places to garrison their troops, let alone how to ensure logistical supplies. will collapse without a fight!"

Lingbao immediately issued a military order, ordering the last five reinforcements from the country to rush straight to Yancheng. Entanglement of the defenders of the border of the Zheng Muro, so that they must not retreat back to the city. He personally led the army to leave Weichuan City, ordered to march at full speed, and attacked Yancheng and successfully took it before the opponent's main force had time to return to defense.

At this point, two of the four cities in the remnants of the Zheng State have been lost, although the main force of the army has lost less than a quarter. But from the perspective of the overall strategy, it has collapsed on all fronts. The only two remaining isolated cities were no longer in danger to defend, and a large number of soldiers and civilians were crowded in Xicheng and Guishu City, and even the military camps could not be properly placed.

The main battle faction in the Zheng Dynasty also saw that it was okay to act, and if it continued to hold on, of course, it would be death, and if the main force was gathered and launched a counteroffensive in a desperate manner, it would almost be equivalent to death. This battle is no longer fought. When Gu Caiqi returned to Guishu City, he saw this situation.

Zheng Muguo no longer had the capital to negotiate the conditions, and after learning of the promise made by Shaowu in private, Hongzhu convened the ministers for the last court meeting and officially announced that he had decided to surrender. Zheng Muguo seems to have a tradition of mutiny, and several generals rushed out on the spot to try to admonish and force Zheng Jun to swear to the death, but Gu Caiqi took it.

From the surrender of the Xiangmuro Kingdom to the surrender of the Zheng Muru Kingdom, only half a year has passed. At that time, ordinary people trekked on foot, even if they walked from the remnants of the Xiangmuro Kingdom to the remnants of the Zheng Murro Kingdom, I am afraid it would take half a year. Therefore, Shaowu's actions were amazingly fast, and even the forces on Bayuan had no time to react.

If you don't do anything, it's just that, and if you do it, it's the momentum of thunder. The opportunity to calm the remnants of the two countries came very unexpectedly. The tiger baby was trapped in the small world, which caused the internal strife of the phase room, and the country of Ba muro took advantage of the situation to pacify the country of the phase room. And after pacifying Xiangmuroguo, Shaowu made arrangements to pacify Zheng Muroguo at the first time, and the coach Lingbao in front was even more surprised.

The surrender has been decided, and there are still many specific details being discussed. Zheng Jun Hongzhu sent an official envoy for the last time, and then Ba Jun Shaowu announced another matter to the world, which was related to the Shanchuan City tragedy that year.

If this matter is not mentioned, many people will probably forget about it. When Shaowu returned from Wufuqiu that year, Zheng Gu, the deposed monarch of Zheng Muguo, and Yingzhuling, the sect leader of Yingzhuling, sent people to infiltrate Shanchuan City in disguise to assassinate. Fortunately, Shao Wu's ascension to the throne was his destiny and he escaped the attack of the Assassins, who slaughtered a caravan instead.

Now that Zheng Jun has surrendered, he has handed over the murderer who is still alive to Ba Muruguo to deal with. After the interrogation of Lord Rissho, he publicly executed a group of criminals outside the west gate of the national capital. A total of 25 prisoners were executed that day, in addition to the 23 people sent by Zheng Muroguo, plus Yingzhu and Yu Pu. Yingzhu was already dead, but he still took him out again and died again in public

Shaowu did not disclose the fact that Huwa and others infiltrated Yingzhuling and beheaded Yingzhu to capture Yu Pu. The people who don't know the inside story take it for granted that Yingzhu and Yu Pu were also taken by Zheng Jun and sent to Bamuroguo. As for those who understand, of course, they know that this is impossible, and they all guess that it was the young man who asked the master to take action, and as for who did it, let alone the young man, then he can only guess.

In early summer, the surrender ceremony was finally officially held, and there was no Zheng Muguo in Ba Yuan. As for Hongzhu, he was also named "Zheng Jun" by Shaowu, but he is no longer the king of a country, but a feudal monarch who enjoys the respect of ten lords in the country.

Hongzhu's treatment seems to be the same as Zimo, but Shaowu is not as polite to him as Zimo, and he is not as lucky as Zimo. Hongzhu's fief is in the area of the West Boundary Mountain, which is where Ding Gong was exiled after being convicted, and it is far from being comparable to Zimo's fief in terms of prosperity and wealth.

And Hongzhu can't go back to the fiefdom to live on weekdays, but lives in Badu City, and Shaowu specially prepared a luxurious mansion for him. Although the house is luxurious, and many comforts such as clothing and food are also worry-free, Hongzhu cannot easily leave the capital, even if he goes out for a walk or hunting, he has to greet him in advance, let alone make friends with the DPRK and local officials at will, and is in a state of semi-house arrest under surveillance.

As for the meritorious ministers in the Ba Mu country, of course, Shaowu was rewarded lavishly.

The first meritorious person is Lingbao, the commander of the army in front, who was named the general of Zhendong, and is listed with the general of Zhenbei Beidao, the general of Zhennan Hanxiong, and the general of Zhenxi Panyuan. Lingbao's ascension speed is amazing, but his credit is just as amazing. Pan Gu was given the title of General of Zhenxi for pacifying Xiangmuroguo, and Lingbao was awarded the title of General of Zhendong for pacifying Zheng Muguo, and no one could raise any objections.

Xiaoyang was appointed as the master of the Si Li, and his position was equivalent to that of Deputy Cangzheng, enjoying the honor of the Eight Lords. Master Kuramasa is old, and I am afraid that he will be old in a few years. In the past few years, let Xiaoyang be a deputy and learn a lot of experience, so that he can take over Cangzheng's position smoothly in the future.

Shaowu originally wanted to train Xiaoyang to serve as Lizheng, firstly, because the current Lizheng is still very strong, and he can continue to do it, and secondly, after a series of investigations in the past few years, he feels that Xiaoyang will be more suitable to serve as Cangzheng in the future. Xiaoyang is still very young, and he still needs to sharpen it for a few more years.

In the Bamuro Kingdom, there were still the older generation of important ministers represented by the shrike, but Shaowu had gradually promoted a large number of young talents. Especially the generals in the army, except for Beidao, who is still in the prime of life, is an old minister in the Hou Liao period, the other three Zhenguo generals are all young people newly appointed after the young minister succeeded to the throne.

Hou Liao left a group of effective courtiers for Shaowu, ensuring that Shaowu smoothly took over the monarchy and quickly won a national war, but the age of that group of backbone ministers is not young, and Shaowu must also train and promote new people.

Time flies, and it has been eight years since Shaowu ascended the throne as Ba Jun. In this eighth year, he completely and completely solved the remaining hidden dangers in the rear of the hinterland of the Ba Mur Kingdom, and merged the territory of the original Ba Chamber, Xiang Chamber, and Zheng Chamber, and the five countries of Ba Yuan have become the three kingdoms of Ba Yuan.

As the whole country celebrated, there was also sad news. Wei Mang, the former general of Zhennan, who has returned to his hometown, failed to achieve success in his cultivation and unfortunately died not long ago. Shaowu sent an envoy to his hometown to mourn him, and set up a sacrifice on behalf of the monarch, and at the same time rewarded the grandson of Weimang. Even the tiger baby who has returned to Bujin Mountain has heard this news.

Wei Mang could have enjoyed a good life comfortably, and he didn't have to reluctantly pursue the realm of Dacheng. He was nearly seventy years old when he resigned, and he was still as healthy as he used to be in his body because of his cultivation, but from a monk's point of view, his spirit and spirit had passed his peak state, and his hope of breaking through to his Dacheng cultivation was already very slim. He still insisted on taking that step, but he didn't take it after all. (To be continued......)
