Chapter Forty-Eight: Release the Locusts to the Field
Seeing Xia Yan vomiting blood, the people below all looked puzzled.
"What the hell, Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Hey, at first glance, it seems that I have been under too much pressure in the past few days, and now I have been released."
"So, do you need to call the imperial doctor in this case?"
"Um, otherwise, let's take a look at the situation first."
puff--
After a while, Xia Yan forcibly calmed himself down, and the blood in his mouth stopped gushing at this moment.
Taking a deep breath, he said to Xing Daorong below: "General Xing, since you have come back, what about Xiguo?..."
"Your Majesty, if you talk about the Xi Kingdom, you will be out of touch. The Xi Kingdom now is your Majesty's territory. It should be called Hucheng now!"
"Yes, yes... Hucheng, then over there in Hucheng?..."
"There are people guarding it. I have asked Shangshu Xu to send some people to take over. At the same time, I have brought back all the prisoners of the 100,000-strong army of the original Xi Kingdom, and also brought back the leader of the original Xi Kingdom!" After listening to Xing Daorong's words,
Xia Yan smiled bitterly.
"Since everyone has been brought, let me see them."
Soon after, the former leader of Xi Kingdom was kidnapped by Wuhua Da and brought into the hall.
"Shangguan Qingyang has met the Lord of Daxia."
Now that he is a prisoner, the leader of the Xi Kingdom has lost his former dignity, his hair is messy and his eyes are a little lifeless.
It was precisely because of this that Xia Yan knew his real name.
Shangguan Qingyang, no one has called him that for who knows how many years. As the leader of the Xi Kingdom, he has always been the strongest among the nearby countries.
If he hadn't been in Daxia's palace now, Shangguan Qingyang would never have thought that he would be defeated by Daxia one day.
But it was useless to say anything at this moment. His life and death depended on Xia Yan's thoughts.
Xia Yan said silently: "Brother Shangguan, you have had a hard journey."
"……."
Xia Yan's words made Shangguan Qingyang unable to answer the call for a moment. What kind of operation was this?
Seeing Shangguan Qingyang like this, Xia Yan didn't pay attention. He just said to the following with a slight reproach: "Shangguan brother is also the leader of a powerful country. How can you wrong others like this? Release your ties as soon as possible. The days to come will be delicious.
Drinks will be served!"
A group of old men were confused for a moment, but after all, it was what Xia Yan said and they had to respond, so Xu Jing stepped forward and said: "I know, I know, we didn't take good care of him."
Then they immediately let Shangguan Qingyang loosen his bonds, and thoughtfully handed him a flower.
At first, Shangguan Qingyang was a little skeptical about what this was, but then he saw several old men lighting it and trying it.
As soon as I tasted it, I felt refreshed and said, "Good stuff!"
Seeing this, Xia Yan smiled slightly and started chatting with him.
"Brother Shangguan, can you tell me how our General Xing defeated you?"
In his heart, Xia Yan still couldn't believe what Xing Daorong said.
If those deeds just now were done by Huo Qubing, I might be shocked, but I wouldn't live in disbelief.
But what I just said was said by Xing Daorong.
He knew what kind of treasure Xing Daorong was, so he decided to ask Shangguan Qingyang.
As the saying goes, failure is not scary, the most terrifying thing is not knowing how to fail.
Xia Yan is like this now, even if he dies, he must let me know it!
Originally, it should be a very shameful thing for a defeated emperor to tell how he was defeated.
But Shangguan Qingyang below, after experiencing the sugar-coated bullets just now, felt that he was not so ashamed, so he slowly spoke.
"Originally... I was fine in the palace. It stands to reason that I have 30,000 city defense troops, 8,000 forbidden troops and thousands of inner palace guards. It is impossible to invade the city with ordinary strength, but..."
Shangguan Qingyang was honest and told everything he knew without any concealment.
"So the situation is like this. I don't know why everyone was gone in the end. They all went to my son-in-law."
Seeing Shangguan Qingyang say this, Xia Yan frowned slightly.
Doesn't this mean that the real reason has not yet been clarified, and if that doesn't work, we have to ask his son-in-law.
So, at Xia Yan's signal, he brought Qi Xian into the palace.
Like Shangguan Qingyang, Xia Yan had no intention of blaming him and just asked him to tell everything to him.
But who would have thought that Qi Xian, who had already made up his mind to give Xing Daorong a big gift, would still insist that Xing Daorong was so brave that he made a mess on his side.
This left Xia Yan speechless. Could it be that he was really wrong in his suspicion?
There is no internal response, no emergencies, is it just that Xing Daorong is really brave?
Thinking of this, Xia Yan didn't say anything more, but just forced himself to be calm in his heart.
"I know, let's take them all down and treat them well."
In the end, Xia Yan didn't ask about the gunpowder.
Naturally, they would not know that another Uncle Fengchu, who had already arrived on the territory of the Zhu Kingdom, was holding another 800 kilograms of gunpowder.
And at this moment Xing Daorong also spoke, it was about the things that happened to the soldiers captured by Yu State before.
Generally speaking, if you occupy a country, the prisoners of that country cannot be put back under any circumstances.
The reason is also very simple. This group of people are all people who have fought on the battlefield. If they let the tiger return to the mountain, it will be a hidden danger.
Not to mention, an army of thirty thousand people.
If these people go back and organize an organization similar to "anti-Xia Fuyu", it will definitely be a big trouble for Xia Yan.
All the old men understand this, and Xia Yan also understands it in his heart.
So several old men immediately objected, thinking that this move was simply letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
This group of people will either be kept as cannon fodder when attacking other countries, or they will be forced to work as coolies. In short, they cannot go back.
But Xia Yan knew it in his heart, but he didn't bother to worry about it.
What does this kind of hidden danger mean to you? Decide immediately.
"Since you promised them, let them go."
Hearing this, a group of old men were stunned.
"What?!"
"No, Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. This is going to destroy the country!"
"That's right, let 30,000 hidden dangers go back. People let the tigers go back to the mountains, but you are letting the locusts go back to the fields!"
The group of elders all changed their faces at this moment, and the joy just now disappeared without a trace.
If it were in the past, Xia Yan would really like to have another war of words with these uncles.
But today, he was exhausted mentally and physically by Xing Daorong, and he really didn't want to say anything more.
When I was getting annoyed, I saw Xing Daorong who was smoking Huazi below, and I immediately had a plan in mind.
"Everyone, didn't you say that General Xing is your idol in life? Don't forget that this was proposed by your idol."
"Eh...it seems to be true..."
"Yeah, I almost forgot, this was proposed by our Great Xia God of War."
"If it was proposed by General Xing, then there seems to be nothing wrong with it?"
"It seems reasonable. Have we misunderstood Your Majesty again?"
"It makes sense. Your Majesty and General Xing are in the atmosphere. We are only on the first level."
"Well, that must be the case..." This chapter has been completed!
