The pupils in Yao Xiao's eyes widened slightly, with a look of shock on his face.
Return and work hard!
Become part of the great cause!
At this moment, Yao Xiao suddenly understood. From the beginning of sending troops, Zhao Shan never thought of extorting anything, he just wanted to make Daliang a part of Dagan.
This is the goal implemented from beginning to end.
Yao Xiao became more and more frightened.
Zhao Shan is very scheming, because the whole Great Liang started fighting among themselves because of Zhao Shan's scheme.
While Yao Xiao was frightened, he became increasingly afraid of Zhao Shan. Although he has a weak character, he is somewhat clever and knows that he has no right to choose, so he said without hesitation: "Yao Xiao is willing to submit to Daqian. He does not want to be the emperor of Xiliang, but just wants to be an ordinary citizen of Daqian. "
Zhao Shan replied: "You are a smart man, and I will not treat you badly. When the war is over, your lineage will be Duke Liang."
Yao Xiaogong said respectfully: "I am not a smart man. I just want to be an ordinary person under your majesty's rule. I will only follow your majesty's lead."
Zhao Shandao: "Go down and adjust your mentality."
"Here!"
Yao Xiao bowed and turned around to leave.
Zhao Shan was thinking in his heart.
With the current strength of Daqian, he can directly attack Gubang and destroy Xiliang. After all, the Xiliang royal family was killed too many times by Yao Qian, and Xiliang's own power was also consumed a lot, and he no longer had much power.
This was resolved in a high-handed manner.
For the long-term peace and stability of Xiliang, for the people of Xiliang to be discouraged, and for the future governance to be easier, so that no one will stand up against Dagan again, and people will not think that Dagan is invading, it is necessary to support an emperor with justifiable reasons. Come and submit to Daqian.
Yao Gan can't do it!
Yao Xiao is the most suitable person.
Yao Xiao surrendered the whole country, completely destroying the backbone of all Xiliang scholars in the name of morality, leaving no one with the fighting spirit to resist.
While Zhao Shan was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps, and Zhou Huhou walked in and said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Gui is asking for an audience outside the camp."
"pass!"
Zhao Shan gave an order.
Zhou Huhou went to deliver the message. Not long after, Jiang Gui came to the Chinese army's tent. When he saw Zhao Shan, he saluted and said, "Old Jiang Gui, pay homage to your majesty."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "Father-in-law, there is no need to be polite, sit down!"
The soldiers brought a stool, Jiang Gui sat down with half his buttocks, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Yao Qian killed the clan kings who gathered in Guzang County, and also killed the family members of the feudal kings, and also killed countless people. Official."
"A massacre that killed more than 2,600 people and exiled countless others."
"There are a lot of complaints in Guzang County now. They all say that Yao Qian is not worthy of being a son of man, and they are full of resentment towards Yao Qian."
"But I dare not speak out when I'm angry."
"Yao Qian enjoyed himself all day long and did not take care of government affairs. He completely turned away from the boss."
Jiang Gui said: "Now, Yao Qian arranged for the old man to come to see His Majesty, and sent the last one million taels of silver to ask His Majesty to withdraw his troops."
Zhao Shan sneered and said in a deep voice: "After Yao Qian became the emperor, he began to stage the show. He didn't even dare to come in person to pay the agreed compensation, and directly arranged for you to deliver the money."
Jiang Gui echoed: "Yao Qian is indeed in a state of disgrace when he becomes emperor."
Zhao Shan's eyes were sharp and he continued: "He wants to be the emperor, and let him have fun. I will evacuate with one million taels of silver to Jincheng County. Han Ning, the prefect of Jincheng County, will support King Ping Yao Xiao and raise an army to Jingjing." Difficult. This matter requires my father-in-law's support."
Jiang Gui said without hesitation: "I have no shirking responsibility. Today's Guzang Sifang Gate and the guards of the three gates were promoted by me. When the army arrives, it can easily enter the city."
Jiang Gui was afraid of Zhao Shan from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Shan is too scheming.
It is obvious that we can directly capture Xiliang and destroy Xiliang's Guozuo, but we have to go around in a circle and spend some time and means to support Yao Xiao, let Yao Xiao overthrow Yao Qian and then surrender to Daqian, and also ask Daqian to garrison.
After Yao Xiao came to power, Xiliang was no longer even a vassal state, and the Emperor of Xiliang was Zhao Shan's puppet.
This is justified.
Just like this, Jiang Gui was very afraid.
In fact, Jiang Gui was deeply looking forward to it. Xiliang would become a vassal of Daqian and accept the garrison of Daqian. The status and influence of the Jiang family would inevitably be further improved.
After all, he is Zhao Shan's father-in-law.
Zhao Shan noticed the fire in Jiang Gui's eyes and knew that Jiang Gui also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain more benefits. However, Jiang Gui thought that Zhao Shan was stationed in Xiliang, but he did not know that Zhao Shan's purpose was to completely annex Xiliang.
Now it's just a matter of stabilizing and fooling Jiang Gui.
Zhao Shan did not talk to Jiang Gui anymore, accepted the one million taels of silver sent by Jiang Gui, and sent Jiang Gui away.
The next morning, Zhao Shan led his troops to withdraw.
When Jiang Gui returned with the news of the army's withdrawal, he also withdrew on the back.
As soon as Jiang Gui reported to Yao Qian the news that Zhao Shan had accepted the compensation, news came that Zhao Shan had withdrawn his troops.
Yao Qian danced with joy and said happily: "Okay, okay, Zhao Shan, the god of plague, is finally gone. If Zhao Shan doesn't leave, no one will be at ease. Now, I don't worry anymore, Xiliang is completely safe."
Jiang Gui sneered in his heart and said perfunctorily: "Your Majesty is a wise man and has reached an agreement with Zhao Shan long ago. Without your Majesty, Zhao Shan will definitely attack Guzang County."
"Hahaha……"
Yao Qian couldn't help laughing.
After a long while, Yao Qian stopped laughing and looked at Jiang Gui and said, "Prime Minister Jiang, I heard that among the women in the Jiang family, you have a young and beautiful niece. Is this true?"
Jiang Gui was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know, I have to go back and ask."
Yao Qian leaned forward slightly and said: "Zhao Shan, this thief, calls me nephew every time. He is really arrogant. I plan to marry your niece from the Jiang family. According to this calculation, Zhao Shan and I are of the same generation. You go back and make a selection, I will accept the daughter of the Jiang family as my concubine."
Jiang Gui was furious.
Foolish king!
It is simply unacceptable to be so hungry and wantonly.
Jiang Gui knew that Yao Qian didn't have much time, so he didn't confront Yao Qian and replied: "Please rest assured, your majesty, I will make a selection after I return. It's just that when your majesty accepts a concubine, you need to go through the process. Otherwise, how will the world view the Jiang family? How? What do you think of Your Majesty? Your Majesty is a sage monarch. If you want to revive Xiliang, you can't do anything random."
Yao Qian nodded and said, "Okay, everything will be at the discretion of Prime Minister Jiang."
Jiang Gui left after saluting.
Yao Qian became even more happy.
Zhao Shan left. He promoted Kang Yongyuan to the right prime minister, Wang Lang to the commander of the imperial army, and Fu Meng to the general of the Snow Dragon Cavalry. Everyone in the East Palace was promoted one by one, and all the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.
There are people in charge of government affairs, and there is no need for Yao Gan to worry about everything.
Yao Gan called the singer to dance.
Now that he is the emperor, no one can control him, and he is extremely happy. Looking at the singers swaying their buttocks and dancing with enchanting figures, they drank from the wine bottle, their eyes were slightly blurred, and they shouted: "Keep playing, keep dancing, don't stop!"
The sound of music lingered in the hall.
The dancing figures dance gracefully, making people's hearts sway.
Yao Qian was immersed in it and did not care about any government affairs. He seemed to be in a state of intoxication, but he did not know that Zhao Shan's army had returned to Yunwu County, Jincheng County and Yao Xiao's fiefdom.
