"I heard that you have looted a lot of Yan people and robbed a lot of property?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhou Baotong and said.

Zhou Baotong didn't deny it, nodded, and then looked at Qi Xiaobai: "Duke Huan, we are all soldiers of Qi like the Standing Army of Qi State, why are their military salaries so much higher than ours?" ”

In the eyes of the successive monarchs of the Qi State, they basically regarded the navy as a headcatcher, which could not be compared with the standing army, the treatment could not be compared, and the salary could not be compared, but they belonged to the military department and could be regarded as a member of the standing army.

As Zhou Baotong said, Qi Xiaobai also knew that the salary of the ordinary navy was less than that of the standing army of Qi State, and even the salary of him, a lieutenant general, could not be compared with the salary of the lieutenant general of the standing army.

"I'll deal with this matter properly in the future!" Qi Xiaobai said to Zhou Baotong, Qi Xiaobai did not immediately agree to Zhou Baotong, after all, the navy is indeed a chicken assistant from the current situation.

However, if it can be improved, Qi Xiaobai will still improve, as Zhou Baotong said, no matter what, although Zhou Baotong is a navy, he belongs to the standing army of Qi State, how can there be such a big gap between the standing army?

"Your navy has also made great contributions in this war, and I will reward you with all the looted property, all of which belong to you!" Qi Xiaobai said to Zhou Baotong.

"Thank you, Duke Huan!" Zhou Baotong said in a low voice, for the navy, there is no use in giving those empty positions, only giving money is more realistic.

Wherever the Qi army goes, a forced requisition order will be implemented, simply put, it is a robbery, but this robbery is a legal robbery by the Qi State, and the robbed things must be handed over to the state, but this time Qi Xiaobai made an exception for the navy, and everything robbed by the navy belongs to the navy.

Basically, Qi Xiaobai rewarded the people who had meritorious service in this war one by one, and then Zhang Haicheng was brought up.

"Hurry up and untie Zhang Junshou!" Qi Xiaobai said to everyone, and then the rope on Zhang Haicheng's body was untied.

Zhang Haicheng was silent, he didn't speak, he surrendered, the Yanmin of Jincheng don't have to fight, they can survive safely, this can be regarded as a good deed done by Zhang Haicheng, but his family is basically going to suffer.

"I will keep my promise, Jincheng, you are still the county guard!" Qi Xiaobai said to Zhang Haicheng.

"Duke Huan, I killed so many people in Jincheng for my own selfish interests, I don't deserve to be the county guard of Jincheng!" Zhang Haicheng said to Qi Xiaobai.

For the sake of his family, let so many ordinary Yan people fight to the death, Zhang Haicheng deeply felt his sin, and he felt that he was not worthy of being the official of his parents in Dangjin City.

But from another point of view, Zhang Haicheng actually didn't do anything wrong, his family is his closest relatives in the world, what's wrong with protecting his family? If you want to say wrong, that is, as the parent official of Jincheng, he did not fulfill the responsibility of this parent, and he did not think carefully about the lives of the people of Jincheng.

After Zhang Haicheng finished speaking, he pulled out the sword of Qi Bing next to him, and then killed himself in front of Qi Xiaobai!

After seeing this scene, Qi Xiaobai was shocked, he didn't expect that Zhang Haicheng, who chose to surrender, would commit suicide.

In Qi Xiaobai's cognition, the officials who surrendered all wanted to survive, how could they want to commit suicide after surviving?

Qi Xiaobai looked at Qi Bing next to him and said, "Burial it well!" ”

"Why is this?" Qi Xiaobai sighed and said.

And the news of Jincheng's surrender reached Yan Dan and Jing Ke's ears within two days.

Yan Dan said angrily: "This Zhang Haicheng actually chose to surrender!" His family is in our hands! ”

Jing Ke sat on the bench and pondered: "With my understanding of Zhang Haicheng, Zhang Haicheng is not a person who is afraid of death and wants to surrender!" ”

Although Jing Ke and Yan Dan learned of Zhang Haicheng's surrender, they did not learn of Zhang Haicheng's suicide.

"What can I do? Jincheng is lost, and this Qi army will not be far away when it arrives in Yanshan! Yan Dan said to Jing Ke.

"Didn't we plan a decisive battle with the Qi army in Yanshan from the beginning? The sooner the decisive battle, the better it is for us! Jing Ke said to Yan Dan.

"Why is that?" Jing Ke asked puzzled.

"Our logistics are insufficient, although we rely on our own farming to supplement grain and grass, but this cannot be quickly solved, the problem of insufficient grain and grass!" Jing Ke Yandan said.

The Southern Hebei Army under the command of Jing Ke is already short of food, and they now only have two roads, one is a quick decisive battle with the Qi army, and the other is to defend to the death, drag on for about a year, and fight a protracted war of attrition with Qi Xiaobai.

As long as you rely on the grain stock and drag it out for a year, you can indeed fight a continuous war of attrition with Qi Xiaobai.

Because after a year, the fields they planted will have a harvest, so that the problem of lack of grain and grass will be alleviated every year.

However, the remaining stock of the Yan army may not be able to support it for a year......

"Tell the county guards of Guzhu and Lingzhi to quickly assemble the grain and grass and send it, otherwise they will apologize for their crimes!" Jing Ke said to Yan Dan.

As the base camp of Jing Ke and the headquarters of the Southern Hebei Army, Guzhu has some grain in stock, but not a lot.

At this time, Ji Li came to Yanshan from Guzhu, and after her son's defeat in the Battle of Linyi reached Ji Li's ears, she had been worried about her son, so she came to Yanshan from Guzhu this time to visit her son.

"Queen Mother, why are you here?" After seeing Ji Li coming, he hurriedly ran to Ji Li's side and greeted.

"I'm worried about you!" Ji Li said to her son.

"It's the son's sin to make the queen mother worried!" Yan Dan lowered his head and said.

Then Ji Li looked at Jing Ke: "Jing Ke, do you think we can still defeat the Qi army?" Defeat Qi Yan's mother and son? ”

"We have not reached a dead end, we have recruited a group of strong men in Yanshan, Guzhu, Lingzhi, plus what we have, we now have more than 200,000 troops, we use the benefits of Yanshan to fight a decisive battle with the Qi army, as long as we win, then everything is possible!" Jing Ke said to Ji Li.

"This is Lao Jing Shangqing, you came to this field for our mother and son, I really don't know how to thank you!" Ji Li looked at Jing Ke and said.

If Jing Ke had followed Qi Yan at the beginning, then Yan Dan's mother and son would have been directly corrected on the spot, and there would have been no such things later, and Jing Ke would not have become a traitor......

"This is for the Yan Kingdom!" Jing Ke said to Ji Li, Jing Ke's heart is indeed for Yan Guo, if it was because he was friendly with the crown prince Yan Dan before, and the back was completely for Yan Guo, he could imagine that a three-year-old child sat in the position of the lord of Yan Kingdom, what would Yan Guo become in the hands of a three-year-old child, plus the child's relatives were very powerful, it was not impossible for Yan Kingdom to change hands!
