Chapter 474 474
Qiu Feng didn't refute anything, although he had a lot of opinions about Zhaoyang's words, but at this time, he still had to act according to Zhaoyang's intentions, although five thousand people were nothing, but they were also troops.
Wu Qian knelt on the ground at this time, silent.
Zhaoyang looked at Wu Qian: "I will accept your life!" As Wu Qian himself guessed, he took refuge in Zhaoyang, and even if he was not killed on the spot, he would still die in the end.
Everyone looked at Zhaoyang, hoping that Zhaoyang would give an explanation, after all, Zhaoyang had accepted this man's power, everyone had surrendered, and you were killing their boss, which sometimes couldn't be justified.
Although this is not accepted by Zhaoyang, Qiu Feng represents Zhaoyang, and the world will feel that Zhaoyang accepted the surrender of Wu Qian.
However, Wu Qian expected it by himself, Zhaoyang valued Wu Qian and said: "I won't let you kill you like this, I will let you die in front of the Shucheng Gate to show the prestige of our army!" ”
Wu Qian just smiled when he heard it, for him, it didn't matter, he just changed his way of death.
For Wu Qian, it doesn't matter if he changes the way he dies, and it is not unacceptable, after all, it is not tortured to death, and the specifications for dealing with him are also very high.
This fully demonstrates the respect for Wu Qian.
"Come on, let's put Wu Qian down for me!" Zhaoyang gave an order, and two soldiers came in, and they escorted Wu Qian out.
"This Wu Qian is dead, who is the main general of this Wu Qian's legion?" Zhaoyang looked at Qiu Feng and asked.
"Back to the king, this Wu Qian entrusted this power to Cheng Gang, and this Cheng Gang is now the boss of this army!" Qiu Feng returned to Zhaoyang.
For Cheng Gang, Qiu Feng is still a little envious, because Cheng Gang has soldiers under him, and if the war is over, he will definitely get a piece of borderless land and be knighted.
"Bring this Cheng Gang in for me!" Zhaoyang said to the guard beside him.
Soon Cheng Gang walked in slowly, Cheng Gang saw Zhaoyang, he walked forward very interestingly, and knelt on the ground: "Meet, King Chu Zhao!" ”
"You're very interesting!" Zhaoyang looked at Cheng Gang and said.
"The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie!" Cheng Gang looked at Zhaoyang and said flatly, since he has taken refuge in this Zhaoyang, then he will try his best to please this Zhaoyang and seek a benefit for this legion.
Originally, he wanted to escape directly, go to the land of Fujian, and open a cottage, but in this situation, he knew that the war between Zhaoyang and the Central Army would not end, and he would not be able to leave.
What he has to do now is how to preserve his forces when Zhaoyang is in a decisive battle with the Central Chu Army.
Since he is the eldest brother of this group, he has to think about the lives and meals of this group of people, which can be regarded as an explanation to Wu Qian, and he did not live up to Wu Qian's instructions.
Hearing Cheng Gang's words, Zhaoyang laughed: "Okay, a good person who knows the times is Junjie!" ”
"You've got five thousand, right?" Zhaoyang looked at Cheng Gang and asked.
"Although there are 5,000 ministers, they are all loyal and brave men, willing to give everything for the great cause of the king, including their lives!" Cheng Gang said on the side, of course, he just said that.
Is this Zhaoyang going to complete the great cause of being the king, this is the great cause of the king, and he can succeed with only 5,000 people?
In this way, it is just to curry favor with Zhaoyang.
When Zhaoyang heard this, he was really excited, but he pretended to be reproachful, looked at Cheng Gang and said, "Cheng Gang, I have to say two words to you!" ”
"What do you mean, for the sake of my great cause? Am I waging war and launching the Qing Jun side for myself? I am for the sake of the people of Chu and the ministers around the king of Chu, as for me to be the king, I think that I can give the people of Chu a better future! ”
"It's not that I want to be the king, it's just that I want to be the king, I can give the Chu country a better future, and make the Chu country develop better than now, all of this is for the Chu country, it's not that I want to be the king!" Zhaoyang looked at Cheng Gang and said.
Cheng Gang scolded in his heart, this is full of morality, but dare you say that you don't want to be in your heart? You must be better than Chu Mourning Wang Xiong?
However, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, Cheng Gang lowered his head and said: "What the king taught is that the king launched a war, this is for the sake of the whole Chu people, such a righteousness, we can only worship!" ”
After Zhaoyang heard this, he smiled with great satisfaction: "The son can be taught!" The fact that you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light and realize your way back shows that you know this righteousness very well in your heart! ”
Cheng Gang was very angry in his heart, but he had no choice but to tout Zhaoyang here, because only by touting Zhaoyang could he be preserved and not let these brothers be cannon fodder.
He was Wu Qi's cannon fodder before, but when he came to Zhaoyang, he didn't want to be Zhaoyang's cannon fodder.
In fact, for Zhaoyang, Cheng Gang's status is no different from those nobles, because in Zhaoyang's eyes, only the Zhao family army is precious, and the rest are cannon fodder, all for him to seize the ladder to the throne.
"Cheng Gang, everyone has their own title, you come to me, you can't live without a title, you look at Chu State, you want that land, I will reward you!" Zhaoyang pointed to the map and said, where there are no nobles on the map, or where the nobles have died, the enemies are replaced by a red far point.
And Zhaoyang asked Cheng Gang to choose these places, of course, this choice of places is also particular.
Zhaoyang also rewarded those who made meritorious contributions in the war, but some land can be taken, and some land cannot be taken.
The land that can be taken is those barren land, and the land that cannot be taken, although it is a borderless land, but Zhaoyang wants to occupy it and become his own power.
Zhaoyang actually thought of retreating, even if he couldn't break into Shucheng and enter the core position of the central Chu State, he wanted to occupy the entire eastern part of the Chu State, so as to confront the central government.
And to occupy the entire east, to prevent someone from turning the tables, he can also absolutely suppress, that is, he must grasp all the core positions in the east.
Some of the nobles in the eastern core area were defeated by Wu Qi, wiped out, and occupied by Zhaoyang, and some took refuge in Zhaoyang, and Zhaoyang occupied them under the framing of Zhaoyang.
Of course, Zhaoyang himself is framed and occupied behind his back, and he has not fully shown it, and there is a part of the core position, which is occupied by other nobles, this is a group of people that Zhaoyang is unwilling to offend, this group of people may not be as good as Zhaoyang, but it should not be underestimated, it can bring certain trouble to Zhaoyang, if they are united, there is a certain threat.
However, this kind of ownerless important core area, although Zhaoyang puts it out, you can't choose it, even if you choose, Zhaoyang won't give it to you, and you will feel that you are not interested, and you will take back the reward.
At the beginning, there was a person who was rewarded with a fief, but this person wanted an important pass in the east, as a territory, how could Zhaoyang give this kind of place? He then found a fork in the road and deprived the man of his reward.
Cheng Gang was stunned when he heard that he was going to reward him with his fiefdom, he didn't expect that his touting would have such an effect, making himself a prisoner, a captive general, and an instant nobleman.
