A few days later, Zhenyang.
Yang Qing'an was right. For Xiao Yuan, Anyang was indeed very important.
It was Jia You who gave advice to Xiao Yuan, and Anyang became an important military base for the future attack on Huan State.
Due to the strong intelligence and the convenient delivery of letters, at this time, he had also received a letter of recommendation from Li Zhengfang.
After reading it, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said: "Li Zhengfang recommended Yang Qing'an, which was beyond my expectation."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wenruo was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised.
But soon, he added: "Mr. Yang is a humble person, has considerable experience in handling government affairs, and has held important positions such as Fuling's deputy director and Yong'an's director. There is really no problem in him going to Anyang to serve as the county governor."
"Well, I am still aware of Yang Qing'an's talents, but..."
Having said this, Xiao Yuan paused for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said: "Forget it, send an order to Wang Ting to prepare a letter of appointment and let Yang Qing'an take office as soon as possible."
"Yes, I will take care of it now." Shangguan Wenruo responded and was about to salute and step back, but he paused again and couldn't help but said: "But Your Majesty, the Second King Xuanling will definitely mention the Anyang matter. , especially the Spirit King, this matter may be quite troublesome."
"Don't worry about it for now." Xiao Yuan said seriously: "We will definitely capture Anyang. The trouble is not here, but in Zhou Ce's Anjun."
After saying that, he also waved his hand: "You go down first."
"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."
The Allied forces had stayed in Zhenyang for a long time, and the days passed like this.
More than ten days later, news finally came back from Wang Su, and finally the post-war affairs were finalized with King Huan on behalf of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms at a price of 60 million taels of silver.
This compensation almost wiped out King Huan's family fortune. He couldn't accept it at the moment, so how could he not delay the time, negotiate and negotiate, and try to lower the price as much as possible. It took so long, and it was reasonable.
In the Zhenyang Mansion, when he learned that the matter had been finalized, King Ling was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile on his face and said: "Master Wang Su has fulfilled his mission. He has been working around for more than half a month and finally became our ally to gain the benefits after the war."
As for King Xuan, she did not expect that this war would be so beneficial at the beginning, so she seemed very happy and said with a smile: "I propose that all the existing supplies of the Allies be taken out, leaving only Just take some food and fodder back home, and then reward the three armies and declare the complete victory of this battle."
"Okay, Sister Xuan's proposal is good, and I agree." King Ling immediately received it.
Xiao Yuan also nodded, and just as he was about to speak, King Ling changed the subject and looked at him and said, "By the way, Brother Qin, I heard that you have dispatched officials and are ready to take office in Anyang?"
"It is true." Xiao Yuan said directly.
King Ling calmed down: "If this is true, then how can Brother Wang take Anyang?"
"What about Brother Lingwang's opinion?" Xiao Yuan asked.
The Spirit King was silent for a moment.
King Xuan looked at the two of them, his thoughts changing.
At this time, Ye Gui couldn't help it anymore and said in a bad tone: "The annihilation of the ghost clan was a joint effort of the Allied Forces. All the results after the war were obtained by the bloody battles of all the soldiers. If His Highness King Qin wants to occupy Anyang, there must be someone." Say something?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hu sneered and said unceremoniously: "The Battle of Anyang was fought jointly by our army and the Xuan Army. What right does your Ling Army have to say!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Gui was immediately furious: "If it weren't for the alliance of the Three Kingdoms, how could the 200,000 Qin troops alone have wiped out the ghost tribe? If it hadn't been for the three-pronged alliance, they would have reached Wuxia Pass and then broken through Can you reach Anyang if you pass through the pass!? Moreover, when the alliance was formed, it was already stated that all the spoils obtained by the allied forces will be equally distributed among everyone! How can Qin go back on its word at this time!"
When Xu Hu heard this, he was also furious. Just as he was about to refute, Xiao Yuan raised his hand: "Okay! There is no need to argue about this matter. The annihilation of the ghost clan is actually a concerted effort by the Allied Forces. There is no doubt about this."
As he said that, he also looked at the Spirit King: "Brother Spirit King, you might as well say it directly. We can discuss it easily. There is no need to hurt the harmony."
The Spirit King rolled his eyes and began to think.
The geographical location of Anyang is not important to him, and if it is given to Lingguo, he will still need to send troops to garrison the border, which will consume military resources and labor. Once the ghost tribe invades again, he will have to bear the primary responsibility, which is laborious. Unpleasant.
To him, it is like a chicken rib, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
Likewise, he didn't really want it, but he also didn't want to let Xiao Yuan take it.
After thinking again and again, King Ling put a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Brother King Qin, Yu Anmin has plundered the people's wealth in recent years, secretly communicated with the ghost clan, sold private iron, and made a lot of gold and silver. How should this money be spent?" I’m afraid how to distribute it is still open to discussion.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned secretly and immediately understood the meaning of his words. He also said with a smile: "Brother Ling Wang means that since the Qin State wants to take Anyang, it should not be used as gold and silver in Yu Anmin." If you want to step in, can you understand it this way?"
"Then it depends on what King Qin thinks." King Ling kicked the ball back and looked at King Xuan and said, "You think so, Sister Xuan."
"This..." King Xuan hesitated and glanced at Xiao Yuan secretly.
Anyang is not important to Lingguo, and it is even more dispensable to Xuanguo. She really wants to stand on Xiao Yuan's side, but she can't say it directly, so she can only perfunctoryly say: "In this matter, you two Brother Wang, let’s discuss it first.”
When King Ling heard this, he also frowned secretly. He originally thought that King Xuan must be consistent with him in terms of interests, but he didn't expect that he would be talking about him.
However, at this time, Xiao Yuan had already made a decision after weighing the pros and cons, and immediately said: "Yes, I agree with Brother Ling Wang's proposal. If anyone wants to take Anyang, they cannot divide the gold and silver of Anyang."
The materials, grain, grass, gold, silver, and jade that Yu Anmin hoarded were no less than Huan Guo's compensation. Such a large amount of money would make anyone greedy, including the king.
But in the long run, Anyang is more important to Qin.
Seeing that he agreed, King Ling brushed off his displeasure and smiled heartily on the spot, saying: "Brother King Qin is indeed courageous. In that case, it's decided! Everyone is happy!"
Of course he had reasons to be happy. With the wealth of Anyang and Huan Guo's compensation, this war had brought direct benefits to Ling State, amounting to tens of millions of taels in real money. How could this not make King Ling excited?
Anyway, in his opinion, the people of Anyang have been plundered to a great extent. Every household is extremely poor. It is also the frontier of the country and must always defend against foreign enemies. It is useless to take advantage of this to share more gold and silver. It is completely acceptable.
It can be said that both sides get what they need.
