At the military and political conference, not only the generals of Fan Yang's armies, but also the surrender ministers, Xiao Jingxuan also allowed them to participate in this meeting.
Today, there is no news from Huangfu Song, but with Huangfu Song's talent, Xiao Jingxuan believes that there will be good news within ten days.
Nowadays, only Dazhou and Baicheng are not within the control of Yan State.
This time, Xiao Jingxuan wanted to use this court meeting to pool wisdom and efforts to solve this problem.
However, at the beginning of the court meeting, these surrender ministers praised Xiao Jingxuan for a while, which was not enough. They also belittled the former Emperor Yan, as if they could not show their loyalty otherwise.
However, when Xiao Jingxuan began to ask for advice, everyone began to act dumb again. They wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Jingxuan was furious and took pictures of the dragon case in front of the throne with a loud bang.
Seeing that the new master was angry, the surrendering ministers began to panic again, fearing that Xiao Jingxuan would go on a killing spree. So, the veteran minister who stood at the front when he presented the city finally couldn't help but speak.
It turned out that the general stationed in Dazhou was a son of his family. The old minister promised that after he returned home, he would immediately write a letter and he would be sure to surrender immediately with his troops.
After hearing the old minister's reply, Xiao Jingxuan's gloomy face finally became a little better, so he began to gently ask about the old minister's official position and comforted him.
The old minister was overjoyed, so he began to introduce himself. It turned out that this person was the former prime minister of the Yan Kingdom. Not only that, this man was also the head of the Yan Kingdom.
After hearing the introduction of this veteran minister, Xiao Jingxuan felt disgusted in his heart. After a brief comfort, he asked about the situation in Baicheng again.
As for the general who stayed in Baicheng, it was a bit difficult. Most of the civil and military personnel in the court were unfamiliar with him. After asking for a while, he didn't make any good suggestions.
Finally, in desperation, Xiao Jingxuan ordered Hu Yanzhuo and Gongsun Sheng to personally lead the troops, and immediately set off to attack Baicheng with a letter stamped with the imperial seal of the State of Yan.
If Baicheng is willing to accept the reorganization, then that's fine. Otherwise, it's just a matter of one word.
After the military order was issued, looking at the confused courtiers in the court, Xiao Jingxuan felt extremely displeased.
According to Jam Hsiao's character, there is only one word, kill. However, after thinking about it again and again, Jam Hsiao suppressed his emotions.
Although Xiao Jingxuan has taken control of the overall situation at this moment, there is still the variable of Dazhou, coupled with the fact that it has just surrendered, so it is not easy to make a big move for a while to avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, Xiao Jingxuan did not have nothing to do during this period. After all, there were still a large number of surrendered soldiers detained in the camp.
For ordinary soldiers who were willing to join the army, Xiao Jingxuan dispersed them and put them into various battalions. Those who were unwilling to join the army were given travel expenses and let them go home.
As for those officers, things are not so good. These officers must not be allowed to go home. Low-level officers are slightly better, but mid-level officers and high-level officers may not be able to live in the countryside. Once they cause chaos in the local area, the consequences will be disastrous.
After much thought, Xiao Jingxuan filled these people into the guard camp together with the officers from the previous Baicheng reinforcements.
There are mature training methods in the guard camp. Xiao Jingxuan believes that as long as he is given enough time, he will be able to select usable talents. As for the unusable ones, they will probably die on the battlefield.
Today, there are only more than 200 veterans left in the Guards Battalion, and the rest of the Guards have been sent to serve as officers in each battalion.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Guards Battalion that Xiao Jingxuan can firmly grasp the military power.
With the addition of these Yan State officers, the guard camp instantly expanded to about 3,500 people.
Although the number of people has increased a lot, Xiao Jingxuan knows that the combat effectiveness of the current guard battalion is not as good as before.
In the days to come, the Guards Battalion must intensify training and restore combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
Therefore, in the next ten days, Xiao Jingxuan devoted himself to the training of the guard camp.
Of course, in addition to training, Xiao Jingxuan also has to teach them the art of war. At the same time, he also needs to pay attention to available talents.
While Xiao Jingxuan was training his personal guards wholeheartedly, Huangfu Song finally led the army back in triumph. Hearing this news, Xiao Jingxuan was overjoyed. He must express his love for this general.
On that day, Xiao Jingxuan specially came to the city gate to greet Huangfu Song and others who had returned triumphantly. To show his respect for him, he also wanted to promote to all battalions that he had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments.
The results of the battle in Luzhou were also amazing. Two thousand enemies were killed and three thousand were captured, while the army of Huangfu Song and others only suffered hundreds of casualties.
For this reason, Xiao Jingxuan specially held a banquet in the palace and rewarded Huangfu Song, Zhou Tong and others.
After resting for a few days, the guards came to report that the left commander Shi Ding Weiran had arrived.
This made Xiao Jingxuan very happy. Now, the entire Yan Kingdom is about to be taken. It is the time when Ding Weiran is needed to help him handle political affairs and stabilize the overall situation.
Ding Weiran was accompanied by Xiao Jingxuan's secret guard leader, Zhao Gang.
After these two people arrive, as long as Dazhou is certain by then, they no longer need to have many worries. Then, the New Deal can be implemented immediately.
A few days later, a messenger came to report that the general of Dazhou actually refused to surrender. At the same time, he also made rude remarks and was disrespectful to Xiao Jingxuan. When he heard the news, Xiao Jingxuan was furious.
However, there is good news, that is, Baicheng surrendered. To be honest, when Xiao Jingxuan heard the news, he was very surprised.
You know, Baicheng has 10,000 defenders. In addition, all kinds of food, grass and supplies are available in Baicheng. If a fight really breaks out, Xiao Jingxuan will probably have to spend a lot of time.
With the surrender of Baicheng, his troops were also reorganized. However, regarding the reorganization of the surrendered troops, the battalion leaders did not dare to make decisions without authorization, but reported the matter to Xiao Jingxuan.
In response to this situation, Xiao Jingxuan ordered that the defenders of Baicheng be exempted. All defenders, including officers, who are willing to disarm and return to their fields, can be given travel expenses.
Unwilling, the officers were transferred to the guard camp. The remaining soldiers were transferred to Qi Biao and Qu Qingshan's troops.
At the same time, Xiao Jingxuan ordered Qingshan to be appointed as the general of Baicheng to defend against barbarian attacks.
After that, Xiao Jingxuan ordered generals Ye Xiong, Hu Yanzhuo, Gongsun Sheng, and Yang Xiong to lead their own troops and go to Dazhou with Xiao Jingxuan.
Today, the number of Chinese troops under Ye Xiong's command has reached 20,000, and the number of the remaining three battalions has also increased slightly.
Sixty thousand troops attacked Dazhou City with only 30,000 defenders. Xiao Jingxuan believed that they should be able to capture it easily.
Before leaving, Xiao Jingxuan called Zhao Gang. Now, the nobles in the city are of little use to him. The existence of these people may still be an obstacle to the future New Deal.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Jingxuan gave Zhao Gang absolute rights to clean up.
At the same time, in order to prevent Zhao Gang from being short of manpower, Xiao Jingxuan left a warrant so that Qi Biao could send out troops to assist at critical moments.
As for the new policy, Xiao Jingxuan ordered Ding Weiran to suspend its implementation, but preparations can already be done.
Work including selecting suitable officials, rebuilding government offices in various places, restoring people's livelihood in various places, etc. can all be started. As long as Xiao Jingxuan defeats Dazhou, the New Deal can be officially implemented.
When the army set out and arrived at the foot of Dazhou City, Xiao Jingxuan looked at the Dazhou City in front of him and wanted to laugh.
It turns out that Dazhou City is not a city, but a checkpoint. This checkpoint exists to defend the country.
Not far from the checkpoint, there is a market. In terms of the size of the market, it can be considered a town at most, with a population of only a few thousand. Most of them are shops and prostitutes.
It seems that the existence of these shops should be to serve the defenders of Dazhou City.
The entire Dazhou City has no internal defense. Xiao Jingxuan couldn't figure out how the defender had the confidence to refuse to surrender.
However, the arrival of Xiao Jingxuan's army really shocked the Dazhou defender.
The guard general never dreamed that originally, the guard general refused to surrender just to gain more benefits and increase his own price. Who would have thought that Xiao Jingxuan would start to attack so quickly. He was really not prepared at all.
Xiao Jingxuan did not even order the army to set up camp. Instead, he directly launched an attack.
As Xiao Jingxuan's army charged, the soldiers under the city gate began to flee one after another.
Just kidding, how can we organize a resistance without the leadership of an official? Plus there are mostly infantry in the level. How can we stop the powerful cavalry?
When faced with an enemy that was several times their size and far more elite than their own, the Dazhou defenders gave in.
Faced with this situation, Xiao Jingxuan and the generals under his command were speechless. If they had known, they could quickly solve the problem by dispatching a battalion of troops.
However, it was too late to say anything now. With the surrender of a famous defender, Xiao Jingxuan soon took control of the situation in Dazhou City.
After cleaning the battlefield, the commanders of each battalion began to collect the surrendered troops. As for the culprit of this war, Xiao Jingxuan ordered the Dazhou garrison to show his head to the public and pass it on to the army.
As for the others, Xiao Jingxuan was not as kind as before. All the officers were enslaved in the mines around Fanyang. The ordinary soldiers were all transferred to the field soldiers. After all, in life, you always have to pay the price for your choices.
After dealing with these people, Xiao Jingxuan ordered Gongsun Sheng to serve as the commander-in-chief of Dazhou City, and at the same time, he handed over 10,000 field troops to his command.
Before leaving, Xiao Jingxuan pulled Gongsun Sheng aside and gave him some good instructions. After that, Xiao Jingxuan immediately led the army back to Yizhou.
Everyone who stayed behind was shocked that Xiao Jingxuan returned home so quickly. It was too fast.
At the banquet in the evening, everyone burst into laughter when they learned about the battle.
With Xiao Jingxuan's triumphant victory, it meant that Yan State was officially included in Fan Yang's territory, and it also meant that the New Deal had begun. This chapter has been completed!
