After handing over the bounty to Fiji, Xiao Ming and everyone went to the main hall of the Mi family, and Xiao Ming was also a little surprised that the battle of Pengzhou City went so smoothly this time.

After inquiring about the process of the battle between Lu Fei and Luo Xin, he gradually understood that the Pengzhou army would be defeated so quickly because they were not familiar with the tactics of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and they still used traditional combat methods to deal with his army.

Therefore, under the long-range fire of artillery and muskets, the Pengzhou army suffered heavy casualties, which in turn exacerbated the fear of the soldiers, resulting in a great reduction in the morale of Pengzhou City after the city gate was captured.

In view of this, Xiao Ming said to Lu Fei: "Now that Pengzhou City has been taken by us, Wei Di will no longer have any natural danger to defend. Xiao Ming said with a deep groan.

These days, he has been thinking about the current strategy, according to his plan he wants to annex Wei as soon as possible, so that he will not be flanked by the enemy, and he can concentrate on dealing with the vassal king in the west.

"Yes, Your Highness." Lu Fei bowed and said.

gave an order to Lu Fei, and at this time Xiao Ming said to Fiji and other officials: "Now that the Southern Expeditionary Army has taken Pengzhou City, how to manage it is your business, and in the past two days, you will count the land and actual population of Pengzhou City, and distribute the land to the people." ”

It was this policy that allowed Xiao Ming to gain the support of the people of the feudal country, and Fiji had already felt the benefits of the changes brought about by this policy after coming to Qingzhou.

Fiji nodded, and he suggested: "Your Highness, in addition to the normal Juntian, the old minister thinks that he should also give some of the good land to the people who join the army to encourage the local people to join the Southern Expeditionary Army, so that the Southern Expeditionary Army can continue to grow." “

"Well, you're right, that's exactly what this king thinks, now the fiefdom can no longer continue to provide soldiers for the Southern Expeditionary Army, and can only rely on recruiting from the occupied cities, in addition to taking out a part of the fertile land, you also have to post notices to appease the people and make the people return to their hearts as soon as possible." Xiao Ming said solemnly.

Fiji and other officials bowed down.

After that, he took the officials to the Pengzhou Mansion to officially take over the government affairs of Pengzhou City and its nearby counties and villages.

……

Jinling City.

The news of the defeat of Pengzhou City spread here along with the fleeing wealthy clans.

When Mi Wenyi told King Wei everything about the past and back, the teacup in King Wei's hand fell to the ground, and King Wei's face turned pale and his body shook a little.

"Uncle Huang!" Seeing this, Xiao Qi immediately stepped forward to support King Wei.

"The 50,000 elites of Pengzhou City plus the local wealthy clans can't hold it for a day, what does this king want you to do?" After taking a few breaths quickly, King Wei said angrily: "Someone will escort Mi Wenyi to this king, and ask for beheading tomorrow!" “

"Your Highness, it's not that the ministers are derelict in their duties and collapsed before fighting, it's that the King of Qi's muskets and artillery are too powerful, and although the soldiers resist with flesh and blood, it is useless." Mi Wenyi was shocked.

"This king doesn't need your explanation, in vain this king values your Mi family, I didn't expect it to be just a group of indiscriminate rotten people, needless to say, Pengzhou City is the gateway to Wei, and now there is no danger to defend if you lose Weidi, if this king doesn't kill you, won't the guards of other cities follow you one by one!" King Wei cursed.

"Your Highness, spare your life." Mi Wenyi was dragged by the guards crying and being escorted down.

Xiao Qi sighed, and he said to King Wei: "Uncle Huang is angry, the plan today is how to keep the land of the feudal country, this time Xiao Ming is prepared, the momentum is violent, we can't sit still." “

King Wei's fat face was full of frustration, and he said, "Pengzhou City has only been breached in one day, how many days can other cities resist?" Is it true that you want to kill me? “

"Uncle Huang is at this time when he feels sorry for himself, Xiao Mingdi has few people, and there are many enemies, at this time most of the troops are used to prevent King Zhao, although Pengzhou is lost this time, but the army of King Qi is also a loss of soldiers, it is impossible to fight again without a period of rest, take this opportunity to join forces and let King Qi have no time to go south."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Mi Wenyi said that after the army of the King of Qi entered the city, the autumn did not commit any crimes, it can be seen that Xiao Mingqi is determined to be in the world, this move is to appease the people, if so, the next target of the King of Qi after Wei must be Yandi, and the nephew thinks that at this time, he should send an envoy to form an alliance with the King of Yan to jointly resist the King of Qi." Xiao Qi said.

King Wei frowned, "It's just that this King Yan has always been evil, will he agree?" “

"If Wei Di dies, King Yan will have the opportunity to directly face Xiao Ming's soldiers, which is more important King Yan naturally knows in his heart that Wei and Yan are not equal in strength, even if there is some friction, they can't overturn each other, but Xiao Ming is different, he can take Pengzhou City so easily is enough to show his strength, and in the face of such a strong enemy, he can only resist by joining forces."

"Well, what you said is right, not only King Yan, but this king will also send an envoy to Chang'an and Liang State, if the alliance can be successful, we will destroy Xiao Ming!" King Wei said hatefully.

Xiao Qi nodded, bowed down and said, "Uncle Huang, my nephew is willing to take on the responsibility of being an envoy to repay Uncle Huang's kindness for taking him in." “

King Wei looked at Xiao Qi with pity, and he said, "Why do you need to go there in person for such a matter, just send a few officials to go." “

"Uncle Huang, the matter is big, and the other officials are afraid of ruining the alliance when they go, and my nephew has no other skills, except for the vertical and horizontal techniques of "Guiguzi". Xiao Qi said.

King Wei sighed, "Virtuous nephew, Uncle Huang originally wanted to win the throne of this Great Yu Kingdom for you, but now he doesn't report it, Uncle Huang is really ashamed of you." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qi hesitated, he said: "Uncle Huang, my nephew has already been put down, why can't Uncle Huang let go, if Uncle Huang can listen to his nephew's words, it is better to be a vassal to the King of Qi from now on, and be a free prince from now on, so that he can keep the honor of the second half of his life, in the nephew's opinion, only the King of Qi in the world can restore the royal homeland." ”

"Xiao Qi, at this time, I will grow the morale of others and destroy my own prestige." King Wei said angrily, "Uncle Huang will not be a vassal to Xiao Ming'er." ”

Sighing, Xiao Qi said, "Since this is the case, my nephew will follow Uncle Huang all the way to the end." ”

Looking at Xiao Qi fixedly, King Wei didn't say what he wanted to say after all, and with a wave of his hand, he let Xiao Qi leave.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that he would live in the shadow of Xiao Ming forever since the Battle of Cangzhou, and now everything proved that his instincts were right.

But as a favored vassal king, how could he bow down to Xiao Ming? ，
