In Huayang Pass, all the generals of the Huan Army gathered together, and they all heard some news.

Xiang Ge stood directly above him, looked around for a week, and then sighed softly and said: "The war has reached this point. I think everyone knows that if the battle continues, not only will the soldiers be killed and wounded, but the overall situation will also be affected.

Talking about it will not help matters."

"In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Huayang Pass can no longer be defended..."

The connotation behind these words was already very obvious. When the generals heard the words, they all remained silent and lowered their heads slightly, without expressing any opinions.

In fact, the desire to surrender has already spread in the army, but no one dared to bring it up before. Now that the coach said this, many people even breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the generals of the Huan Army, those who followed Xiang Ge were all from the same line. You can also imagine what the commander is like and the people under him.

The rare people who dare to fight, like Yan Zheng, were either from bad backgrounds and were ostracized, or they were killed in the previous battle between the ghost clans.

It can be said that most of the current high-level military officials are just idlers.

Two days later.

Xiang Ge led a group of generals and opened Huayang Pass.

On the plain outside the pass, there is an endless array of black armor and red tassels as far as the eye can see.

With the flags fluttering, Xiao Yuan was riding a tall horse in front, followed by Xu Hu and other protective generals on the left and right.

Seeing him, all the Huan generals, led by Xiang Ge, lifted their robes, knelt on one knee, lowered their heads, stepped in and saluted, and said in unison: "Welcome to His Highness the King of Qin——"

"Your Highness, please accept the military talisman." Xiang Ge was also in front of the generals, raising his hands respectfully.

Xiao Yuan turned over and dismounted, and gestured to Xu Hu.

The latter understood and stepped forward to take the Huanjun soldier talisman. Xiao Yuan also had a smile on his face. He quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Xiang Ge up:

"General, please get up. Everyone, please get up."

"Today, Your Highness is going to war in the sky. The light of Xiang Ge's fireflies does not dare to compete with the sun and the moon. He is leading his troops and is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses..."

A simple surrender ceremony, Xiao Yuan also seemed very happy, "Okay, okay, General Xiang Ge understands the righteousness, I am very pleased."

"Please enter, Your Highness."

Later, when the Qin army entered Huayang Pass, Huan's soldiers were already ready and put down their weapons and surrendered without any setbacks in the process.

After the military defenses were removed, that night, Shangguan Wenruo and Jia You were also in Xiao Yuan's tent, discussing with them the issue of how Huan's army should be surrendered.

Shangguan Wenruo was the first to express his opinion on this. He said: "The land of the Central Plains has been war-torn for years, and the number of young people has dropped sharply. And these more than 100,000 surrendered soldiers are young men. Many of their families have

If you have a wife and children who are looking for you, your Majesty, you must not kill them, otherwise, you will not only be stigmatized as killing prisoners, but it will also chill people's hearts."

Regarding this matter, Xiao Yuan thought about it, thought for a while and said: "In this way, these 60,000 young men who were conscripted by Huan Guo will be sent away on the spot and let them go home individually. They are ordinary people in the first place.

, and I’m afraid it would be a bit inappropriate to recruit those 50,000 regular troops.”

"Your Majesty is wise. The more than 60,000 young men must be very happy to hear this news." Shangguan Wenruo said: "As for the 50,000 Huan troops, after your Majesty regains Huan, he will definitely establish the Wuwei Mansion, and it has always been a priority.

Recruit soldiers, and most of these soldiers have been on the battlefield, so they can be used as candidates for the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Mansion. If they know that they are demoted, they will also be grateful to the king, and it will also have a certain effect on the future governance of Huan Di.

"

"Can they serve as officers and soldiers?"

"It's absolutely feasible. These soldiers of Huan Army are regular troops, not a mob. They were unwilling to fight, and they don't want to fight. Now they surrender, and the king has given them such a favor. How can they not shed tears of gratitude and sincerely serve." Shangguan Wen.

If you say it sternly.

"Well..." Xiao Yuan thought about it for a moment, then nodded.

Then, Shangguan Wenruo said: "Your Majesty wants to peacefully resolve the Huandi issue. Next, you need to appease some representatives of the gentry to make politics more stable."

"What suggestions do you have?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him.

Shangguan Wenruo said directly: "Selecting talents and appointing nobles from the Huan Kingdom. If the king is mainly from Qin every time he goes to a place, sooner or later he will be counterattacked by the local nobles, and then the turmoil will start again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia You followed up and said: "I second my opinion. Your Majesty has always been broad-minded and has a heart for the world. He knows people well and is responsible for their duties. Only by abandoning the opinions of other countries can the world return to its heart."

Both of them believed that in order to regain the Huan Kingdom, they could not suppress it blindly with force. The power of the gentry should not be underestimated. It was different from the previous days when the Qin Kingdom was opened.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan took the overall situation into consideration and temporarily accepted their opinions.

Later, Jia You said: "However, Wei Chen suggested that Guo Kai should not be kept here. He is really a treacherous person. Today, he will betray King Huan without hesitation for the sake of gold and silver wealth. Tomorrow, he will do the same."

Same thing."

Of course, Xiao Yuan wanted to kill this person, but he shook his head slightly: "Guo Kai surrendered to our army and persuaded Xiang Ge to surrender, thinking that he was an insider. If he killed him like this after destroying Huan, I would be afraid of losing my trust.

, from now on, no one will dare to surrender again."

"The king's concerns are very true." Jia You did not refute this, but said: "If Guo Kai does not make a mistake, the king cannot kill him, but he can completely borrow the help of others, such as the current Huanguo court."

As he said that, he explained: "Now King Huan doesn't know that Xiang Ge has surrendered. The king can let Guo Kai return to the capital and continue to be an internal supporter. He will be promised a high official and generous salary, and at the same time, his secret correspondence will be leaked.

If King Huan is informed of his crime of collaborating with the enemy, King Huan will definitely be furious, and when the time comes, Guo Kai will no longer be alive."

After Xiao Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but pointed at him and said with a smile: "What a good plan."

The next morning.

Guo Kai was summoned by Xiao Yuan. After meeting, he quickly bent down and saluted: "Your Highness, King Qin."

"Huh? Mr. Guo will be an important minister of our Qin State from now on. I don't like this title." Xiao Yuan pretended to be displeased.

When Guo Kai heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly bent down again: "Yes, yes, your Majesty, please calm down. I am a humble minister. I don't know what your Majesty's orders are when he is summoned."

Xiao Yuan smiled and asked directly: "Does Huan Guo know about Mr. Guo's coming to Huayang Pass?"

"No, King Huan didn't know that Wei Chen said he was ill at home." Guo Kai returned truthfully.

"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded, "In that case, Mr. Guo can return to Huandu and persuade King Huan again. If he can make him surrender, I will also record one of his great achievements. By then, Huandi will be pacified.

Later, Mr. Guo will be the leader of Huanhou, the magistrate of Huanzhou, and the general in charge of Huanzhou affairs."

Ah!? Hearing this, Guo Kai's eyes widened, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

Huanhou, Huanzhou Ling, this is not a decoration, but a real high position and power. This is too tempting for him!

And in his opinion, the success rate of persuading King Huan to surrender is undoubtedly very high.
