Chapter 1419 The fate of the three lords of Wei Shu and Wu

For Zhao Yu's second inquiry, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren looked at each other slightly, bowed to Zhao Yu, and said: "Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, thank you for the grace of Your Majesty Zhao Guo not to kill, and the two of us are willing to accept such a disposition." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After hearing Xiahoudun and Cao Ren's words, Zhao Yu could be said to be relieved, you must know that Zhao Yu was very worried about Xiahoudun's fiery temper, and would refuse on the spot, and then beg for death. If that's the case, Zhao Yu will have to kill him, but Zhao Yu admires Xiahoudun very much, once he kills Xiahoudun, then Cao Ren will follow in his footsteps. Zhao Yu hurriedly said: "Okay, since the two generals have spoken, then I will believe the two, and the two will fade for the time being." Later, I will send someone to prepare some entanglements for the two of you, enough for the two of you to live a carefree life for the rest of your life. If there are any difficulties in life, the two of you can come directly to Jizhou to find me when the time comes, and I will definitely accept you unconditionally. ”

After settling the matter of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, Zhao Yu was also relieved, and now after the battle with the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu, it can be said that it has all ended. The three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu returned with a crushing defeat, and all the armies were either sent back to their hometowns to work as farmers, or they had already fallen under the command of the Zhao army and became new members of the Zhao army. After everything is settled, there is only the matter of the three masters of Wei Shu and Wu, Cao Rui and Liu Chan have already expressed their sincerity to Zhao Yu, but Sun Quan has always insisted.

Now in public, Zhao Yu can't do anything else, if it is the same as before, or when he is still King Zhao, he will definitely eradicate the three of them in one fell swoop. But this time, in front of so many people, and also in front of some generals and ministers of Wei Shu and Wu Xincheng, Zhao Yu could not do this, and he had to be treated with benevolence, righteousness and courtesy. However, Zhao Yu is in such an embarrassing state as an emperor, but as a general, he should share the worries and solve problems for the king.

In the midst of the scene, even if someone saw the end of the ear. I saw Jia Xu, one of the three princes of Zhao State, so he stood up and bowed to Zhao Yu: "Your Majesty, now I have personally led the army and completed the entrustment of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the past, so that the world is unified again, and all kinds of disputes have ended, which is really gratifying." Moreover, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were all destroyed, but the monarchs of the three kingdoms still existed, and it would be inappropriate to let them belong to the ranks of the generals of my Zhao State, and there has never been such a case. ”

"Therefore, from the perspective of Weichen, Your Majesty might as well remove the titles of Cao Rui, Liu Chan, and Sun Quan from their titles and positions and demote them to commoners like they did with Xiahoudun and Cao Ren. Then give some money and arrange some subordinates to choose a comfortable place to spend the rest of their old age. As long as these people are not thinking about making trouble, we can ignore them, after all, they can't make any waves. ”

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhao Yu would never have any intention of refusing in public, and Zhao Yu believed that Jia Xu would definitely have some meaning in saying to himself in public. I only heard Zhao Yu respond: "Well, what Lord Jia Xu said makes sense, and this matter will be handled by you." Although these people were our enemies before, but now that we have completed the unification, we must not be too stingy, nor can we be too hasty to kill them all. As long as the three of them are not waiting for an opportunity to make small moves, I am willing to let them go, which can be regarded as worthy of our fate as Hanchen in the past. What do you think? ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Regarding Zhao Yu's decision, the audience just cheered in unison, and the rest of the words were too much, and they were somewhat flattering. Anyway, at least the immediate troubles have been solved, and with this alone, Zhao Yu is much more relaxed.

Zhao Yu casually asked again: "I don't know Lord Jia Xu, where do you think it is more appropriate to place these people?" ”

Jia Xu immediately responded: "Back to Your Majesty, Jia Xu thinks that Xuzhou, the closest place to Yangzhou, is the most suitable place for them to survive. Xuzhou is close to Yangzhou, and they also rely on water for survival all year round, so it is relatively easy for them to adapt quickly. Moreover, Xuzhou is an important water base of our army, even if these people want to make trouble, we have heavy guards. Even if someone wants to hurt them, with our troops, we can protect them well, and definitely not a single hair will be damaged. ”

At that moment, I only heard Zhao Yu say: "Okay, very good, now that this war is over, it has been a long time since I left Jizhou, it's time to go back." Except for some soldiers and horses left behind and officially took over Yangzhou, the rest of the people were all evacuated. Generals and ministers, for the time being, let the lieutenant generals under your command lead the soldiers and horses back to the camps of each department. Liangzhou and Yizhou are all important places in my Zhao country, and they can't be guarded without garrisons all year round, otherwise, it will make some of the surrounding nomadic tribes ready to move. For these people, when necessary, a slap must be given. ”

"As for Jiaozhou, we should also arrange for some of our own cronies and soldiers to be stationed to prevent other troubles, but we must treat the people of these prefectures and counties with kindness and righteousness, and absolutely not threaten them with force. We must treat these new people who have joined us as we have done with the people of our Zhao Kingdom in accordance with the holy decree I have given before, so that they can feel and experience the blessings, favors, and prosperity of our Zhao Kingdom. As for some of the newly demoted officials of the stalls, the important ones are still reused, they know better than us about the situation of the stalls, and know how to develop the stalls, so that the local people are rich and their income increases. ”

As soon as Zhao Yu's voice fell, everyone in the audience immediately said in unison: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will definitely do our best to protect every piece of Zhao Kingdom's homeland." ”

When everything was over, Zhao Yu and the others first stayed in Yangzhou for two days, and then except for the soldiers and horses left behind, the rest of the people and horses all followed Zhao Yu and set off together. Some of the lieutenant generals led their troops and horses back to the states and counties to start strengthening the defense, as far as Zhao Yu was concerned, the more after this kind of big victory, the more cautious he must be, and there must not be any omissions. Of course, not because of fear, but to avoid unnecessary damage, a little more seriousness, less unnecessary trouble.

However, just when the army set off, the previously mentioned arrangement for Cao Rui, Liu Chan and Sun Quan to go to Xuzhou to live, of course, is superficial, but it is actually a kind of house arrest. But for some important ministers, such as Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liao and others, it is better to be able to keep them under house arrest than to die. However, Zhao Yu's army was large in number and could not completely walk on waterways, and most of them were mainly land. Only Ganning's Yinglong Naval Army needed to travel by water, pass through Xuzhou, and return to Jizhou.

Just when Gan Ning led the naval army to set off, Jia Xu also specially arranged a task for Gan Ning: "General Gan Ning, this time Jia Xu decided to arrange for the three lords of Wei, Shu and Wu to go to Xuzhou to settle down, and this time Jia Xu has a task that needs to be handed over to General Gan Ning." It was to bring Cao Rui, Liu Chan and Sun Quan, as well as their families, to Xuzhou by water, and send these people to Xuzhou for resettlement. ”

After receiving Jia Xu's task, Gan Ning did not have any doubts, and agreed without hesitation: "Please rest assured, Lord Jia Xu, Gan Ning promises to complete the task." ”

However, just as Gan Ning was about to lead the men and horses to retreat, he only heard Jia Xu smile at Gan Ning again and said: "General Gan Ning, you should know how difficult it is for Your Majesty to establish the Zhao State single-handedly, and now it is not easy to complete the unification of the world, if there are some hidden dangers left, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to live with peace of mind in the future." But Your Majesty is the king of the world, and there are some things that you can't do in person, and you still do it in front of the ministers and generals. Jia Xu believes that General Gan Ning, as the general of the Five Tigers of the Zhao Army, will definitely remove all obstacles for His Majesty's great cause, so that His Majesty can sit back and relax. ”

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Gan Ning couldn't help but be stunned, what Gan Ning didn't expect was that Jia Xu would actually send him such a mission. However, Gan Ning clearly knows what this matter means, and the whole thing must be done carefully, once the matter comes out and makes a big fuss. Then Gan Ning will be the culprit of the whole thing, and the consequences will naturally be unimaginable, and Gan Ning will bear all the consequences alone. And the biggest punishment may be to send him to death, but Gan Ning is not afraid, Gan Ning, as the general of the Five Tigers of the Zhao Army, should pay for His Majesty and for the Zhao State, so Gan Ning doesn't care about all this at all.

Immediately, I saw Gan Ning facing Jia Xu, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Lord Jia Xu, Gan Ning knows how to do this matter, and Gan Ning promises not to disappoint His Majesty and your lordship." ”

"Okay, then Jia Xu will accompany His Majesty all the way back to Jizhou and wait for the good news from General Gan Ning." Saying that, Jia Xu smiled at Gan Ning and turned to leave.

As Zhao Yu left with the army, Gan Ning also led Yinglong's army, carrying a group of men and horses from the waterway to Xuzhou. On the way, Gan Ning arranged Liu Chan, Cao Rui and Sun Quan, as well as their family, all in one hull. In order to prevent these people from escaping halfway, Gan Ning deliberately arranged them in the cabin, at this moment these people have long lost their former demeanor, and all of them have changed into ordinary civilian clothes and arranged them in several rooms. All the outside are guarded by a special person from the Ying Long Water Army, and all meals are arranged together, and no one can leave the room without Gan Ning's permission.

At night, Gan Ning suddenly led a few people to come, and after some motion, these people tied all the doors from the outside. It can be said that without the assistance of outsiders, the people inside can't open at all. When all this was done, some of the remaining sergeants suddenly began to sprinkle some liquid around them, which looked a little pungent after being spilled. I saw that there was an extra torch in Gan Ning's hand at some point, and in front of these people's personal soldiers, he threw it directly on the liquid, and a raging fire ignited in an instant.
