Nie Bing saw Lu Qian looking into the distance with a frown on his face, and couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"Mr. Lu, didn't we attack these three cities as we wished? Moreover, we didn't do too much damage. I think you are worried. Is there something wrong?"
After hearing Nie Bing's words, Lu Qian shook his head and said, "I don't know what's wrong? I suddenly felt uneasy. Maybe it was too smooth along the way. Have the defenses in the three cities done what I said?"
Nie Bing nodded and then said, "I've done everything you said, and I've laid out traps and traps. Zhou Linkai of Great Zhou is obviously a mediocre person... It's normal for us to have such a smooth journey."
At this time, Liu Wei rushed all the way to the city wall.
Looking at the smile on his face, it was obvious that he had some good news.
"What's the good thing?" Lu Qian asked Liu Wei.
Liu Wei told Xia Jiuyuan how effortlessly he captured 400,000 troops, and how Zhou Linkai led all the generals into a trap.
Lu Qian couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and said to Liu Wei, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that our Daxia has a prince like Xia Yan, and their Dazhou also has such a prince..."
Liu Wei nodded, and then said, "There are two factions in the Huo family army now. One faction advocates killing the prisoners, and the other advocates taking the prisoners to negotiate terms with Dazhou. Your Majesty didn't pay attention, so he sent someone to ask you."
"Of course we can't kill them! If these 400,000 prisoners go well, we can let them spit out the territory they occupy our country, and by the way, give us all the sixteen cities of Yanyun, and even take their cities!" Lu Qian said to Liu Wei .
Liu Wei nodded and said to Lu Qian, "Then I'll go talk to the messenger?"
Lu Qian was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go in person."
Lu Qian felt that this matter was not trivial. If it was not handled well, there might be huge changes.
They were arranged to guard the city, and then rushed towards Baima City.
...
The next day, at dawn, we arrived at Baima City.
Just arrived in Baima City.
He found that the generals who defended the city looked at Lu Qian a little differently.
There seemed to be some fear in his eyes.
Lu Qian arrested a person and questioned him.
Listening to what they said, I almost fainted from anger.
"What? Five hundred thousand prisoners, all killed?"
The general guarding the city looked at Lu Qian and said, "That's right, isn't that what you want, general? Your Majesty also follows your advice..."
Lu Qian frowned.
Obviously, Xia Jiuyuan did this to make him take the blame.
He quickly drove the carriage to the city lord's mansion.
Found Xia Jiuyuan.
Xia Jiuyuan was eating breakfast leisurely at this time.
"Your Majesty, how do you manage to eat that? That's half a million lives... Even if they are from the Zhou Dynasty..." Lu Qian is a modern person after all! Now Xia Jiuyuan has inexplicably carried half a million lives on his back.
He felt the frustration in his heart let out a sigh of relief, and said to Xia Jiuyuan with a frown on his face.
After Xia Jiuyuan heard Lu Qian's words, his expression was slightly startled and he looked at Lu Qian with cold eyes.
"General Lu, are you accusing me?"
Lu Qian also realized his gaffe at this moment, and then said, "I don't dare..."
Seeing what Lu Qian said, Xia Jiuyuan smiled faintly, and then said to Lu Qian, "General Lu, don't be so angry... Come, sit down. Eat with me."
Seeing that Lu Qian didn't move, Xia Jiuyuan stood up and pulled Lu Qian and said, "What's wrong? Are you angry with me? I'm actually doing this for your own good..."
Seeing that Lu Qian didn't answer.
Xia Jiuyuan said to himself, "General Lu, you are a smart man. If this war continues like this, will the number of people who will die in the end be less than 500,000? Probably not. You are not the kind of mother-in-law. people."
"You also know very well that putting people back...even if Da Zhou will give in now, this mute will not let go. If they find the right time, they will definitely make a comeback. Will the number of people who will die by then be less than 500,000? If I kill hundreds of thousands of troops on Friday, my border in Daxia will be safe for at least ten years!"
"And now, I say you are the one who ordered to be killed. No matter how it is spread outside, it will definitely be said that you are a god of murder. As long as you go out to fight, they will be afraid of you. For you, this is good! Zhou has now lost half a million troops. We only need to attack all the way, and it will be overwhelming... maybe we can even unify Zhou!"
Lu Qian listened to Xia Jiuyuan's absurd reasoning, his expression was ugly and he didn't say anything.
"Now that the overall situation here has been decided, I am also preparing to return to the court. I will leave all the power to you here! I order you to recover our territory first, and the sixteen cities of Yanyun that belong to us! By then, this big world will I give you all the credit! I think you are a talent and want to use you!"
Seeing Lu Qian, he still didn't speak.
Xia Jiuyuan patted his shoulder and said with a cold expression, "What's the matter? General Lu, are you unwilling?"
Lu Qian heard the slight anger in Xia Jiuyuan's words.
Didn't he come here just to gain Xia Jiuyuan's trust?
Seeing this, he quickly adjusted his emotions, with a faint smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty is wise, I am naturally willing. I just learned the news suddenly, and I didn't turn around for a while. There was a contradiction in my words. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Everyone is dead! If he fell out with Xia Jiuyuan now, he would have no choice but to be killed by Xia Jiuyuan.
Nothing changes at all.
And this is war!
Seeing what Lu Qian said, Xia Jiuyuan laughed, and then said, "Okay... I really saw you right! Now that Dazhou has been hit hard, the next war will naturally be overwhelming."
Lu Qian nodded, and then said to Xia Jiuyuan, "Your Majesty, in this case, it is better to capture the rest of the city together and return to the court at the base."
Xia Jiuyuan shook his head and said, "The purpose of my personal expedition has been achieved! It's time to go back..."
Lu Qian looked at Xia Jiuyuan with confusion on his face.
Xia Jiuyuan said, "Dian Guangming has arrested both Xia Yan and Guo Sixin on my behalf... Now Daxia's internal and external troubles have been resolved."
"Guo Shoufu? What's wrong?" Lu Qian asked Xia Jiuyuan in shock.
Xia Jiuyuan gave Lu Qian an interesting look, and then said, "Don't General Lu know? Didn't Guo Sixin ask you to take the opportunity to kill me when you were outside? However, you are still a smart man and did not take action! Since I How can we be afraid of Yang Yun's rebellion if he has reused the Yang family?"
"I came out to give them a chance to rebel! Now Chengde, Chengsi and his son, as well as people related to them, have been arrested."
Xia Jiuyuan's words shocked Lu Qian. This dog emperor was too terrifying.
He already knew it. Are they going to rebel?
I was secretly glad that I didn't act rashly.
The best emperor master
