Zhao Rui's face was full of excitement. Not only had he captured Luo City and obtained 30% of Liang's territory, he had also obtained figures like Gong Zizhang!
In fact, what he valued was not only Gong Zizhang's talent, but also his influence in Liang Guo!
Originally, Zhao Rui's strategic purpose was just to capture Luo City, and then gradually encroach on Liang Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Yi's diplomatic plan was so powerful that it directly destroyed the Liang Kingdom, and all the members of the Liang Kingdom's royal family and clan were killed.
As a result, Liang's territory became ownerless. Although other countries were afraid of the temporary retreat of the great merchants, they would come to attack it soon.
Fortunately, Gongzizhang fell into the hands of Zhao Rui, who took him under his command and named him Duke of Liang, just to win over the people of Liang.
Gongzi Zhang is now the King of Liang, the last prince and the only heir to the throne of Liang King.
Now that he has become the Liang Guogong of Dashang, he has represented the choice of the entire Liang State to a certain extent.
In exchange, it is only natural and right for Dashang to take back the land of his homeland for his Liang Guogong!
"Immediately send an order. Except for the army guarding the border in Dashang, all the rest should gather in Luocheng. I will take over all the land of Liang Kingdom."
In fact, this order was specifically given to Gong Zizhang, and it was regarded as a grace given to him.
Sure enough, when the order was given, Gongzizhang knelt directly in front of Zhao Rui.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, there are troops from the four kingdoms of Western Shu, Chen Song, Peng Wei, and Southern Qi in the Liang Kingdom. Taking all the land of the Liang Kingdom means starting a war with the four kingdoms at the same time. Even if all the troops in Dashang are used,
If you transfer here, you may not necessarily be the opponent of the four countries!"
Zhao Rui looked like he didn't care.
"What are you afraid of? Now the capitals of Western Shu and Southern Qi are under my loud military front. They have to send heavy troops to guard the borders. Even if they want to invest troops in the two countries, I believe they will not be too few. If they really want to deal with
The only two countries are Peng Wei and Chen Song! It will be enough for me to gather the merchants and soldiers and recruit some from Liang."
After saying that, Zhao Rui took out a tiger charm from his body and handed it to Liang Zhang.
"The task of recruiting troops and horses from the two places is left to Liang Guogong!"
Liang Zhang's eyes widened. He had just surrendered and was canonized as the Duke of Liang. It was already a great grace. Now that he was given military power, weren't he afraid that he would take this opportunity to establish himself as king and re-establish the Liang Kingdom?
"Your Highness, this is not appropriate. It is better to give this military talisman to another general, and the last general can be his deputy general."
Zhao Rui didn't care so much and just forced the tiger talisman into Liang Zhang's hand.
"My lord, you don't have to worry so much. Just go ahead and do it. The Great Shang army has just entered the territory of Liangliang Kingdom, and you are at a loss to do many things. You still need to rely on your lord. Besides, you also need a team of your own."
Soldiers, it will be more convenient to attack Western Shu in the future to avenge the Liang clan."
Liang Zhang was completely conquered. He didn't expect Zhao Rui to have such a broad mind and magnanimity.
"The last general takes command!"
Zhao Rui didn't say anything more, he just issued a few royal orders as planned.
Now that the Liang Kingdom no longer exists, it won't be long before the entire Liang Kingdom will be included in the territory of the Great Shang. The next thing to deal with is Xi Shu.
This vassal state has always been entrenched in the southwest. It has a vast territory, fertile land, extremely rich people, and strong soldiers and horses.
If it can be captured, it can be used as a granary for the Great Shang, and even serve as the rear for the Great Shang when they unify the world in the future.
This time, Zhao Rui sent Bai Hua to the northern border of Western Shu.
After all, the twenty kingdoms of Rong and Di were destroyed by him. His name in that place was extremely loud. Putting him there was to threaten the northern border of Western Shu and to appease Rong and Di. By the way, he was placed there.
