Although the King of Xirong escaped with a small number of followers and guards, there were still dozens or hundreds of people. The main staff here were the core personnel, and the other soldiers had naturally been dealt with.
Wushi did not have a regular army, so in order not to cause chaos, they came up with a poisoning strategy.
At present, the head of King Xirong has been cut off and placed in a wooden box.
While Wu Yi ordered his men to clean up the scene, he also called a young man and said: "Keti, you immediately ride a fast horse, present the head of King Xirong to the King of Qin, and explain our Wushi's position. I am absolutely willing to be under the rule of Qin."
"Yes!" Keti responded, but hesitated and said tentatively: "Chief, what should we do with the property of King Xirong?"
"Report to King Qin." Wu Yi said directly.
"But this." Keti was a little unhappy.
But before he could speak, Wu Yi said displeasedly: "Don't be so smart, just do as I say."
"This, yes." Keti accepted the order and left.
Because the King of Xirong fled in a hurry, he actually didn't take much property with him, let alone a treasury. Most of the gold and silver were still in the Rong capital.
A few days later, Rongdu.
At this time, the post-war affairs here have almost been dealt with. Xiao Yuan is comprehensively considering the entire Xirong area, considering the garrison and future territorial management, as well as other ethnic minority issues.
In the study room, a large map was spread out on the floor, showing the entire territory of Xirong.
The entire territory here is almost as large as the four and five counties in the Central Plains combined, and the area is still quite large.
Xiao Yuan squatted next to the map, holding a brush in his hand and sketching from time to time.
"Your Majesty, General Wang He would like to see you." The guard entered and said respectfully.
"Let him come in." Xiao Yuan didn't even raise his head.
After a while, Wang He entered the room and saluted respectfully: "The last general, Wang He, comes to see the king."
"Well, what's the matter?" Xiao Yuan still didn't look back and responded casually.
Seeing the king squatting in front of the picture, busy, how could Wang He dare to stand, so he quickly knelt on the ground, maintaining the posture of a monarch and a minister, and waited quietly.
But he didn't dare to speak. Xiao Yuan couldn't help but turn his head and glance at him, then stood up and said with a gentle smile: "Why are you kneeling? Get up."
"Yes." Wang He gave another salute.
Xiao Yuan took the writing brush and looked down at the map again, "Tell me what you have to say."
"He is such a king." Wang He organized his words and explained: "The former minister was careless and wanted to take a shortcut. When passing through Baizhang Mountain, he accidentally poisoned the mist and almost killed the soldiers. Thanks to the nearby soldiers, The residents of the tribe came to rescue and survived."
"I have completely failed in this matter. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yuan had heard reports about this matter. Baizhang Mountain had poisonous fog. No one expected that Wang He's original intention was to outflank the enemy's retreat.
After placing the brush in the pen holder, Xiao Yuan walked up to him and stretched out his hand to straighten his armor: "You can bring the soldiers and come alive to see me, which is the greatest honor to me."
In an era when superiority and inferiority are clearly defined, what is the status of a monarch, and Wang He is just a partial general.
The latter immediately panicked and was so frightened by the flattery that he knelt down quickly. At the same time, his heart felt hot and his eyes were slightly red and he said: "Your Majesty, you are so cruel to me. I will never be able to repay your kindness with nine deaths!"
"Okay, okay, get up and talk." Xiao Yuan pulled him up and said seriously: "This Yi tribe saved the lives of our soldiers. No matter what, this kindness must be recorded. At least it shows that they are Those who are kind do not have any ill intentions towards Qin."
"What the king said is true." Wang He followed: "The people of the Yi tribe are all kind and honest. The reason why they live in the Baizhang Mountain area is because they were forced by King Xirong."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded and said thoughtfully: "In this way, in order to thank the Yi tribe for rescuing our soldiers of the Qin Army, I will reward you with some silk, satin, gold and silver, and at the same time, invite the leaders of the Yi tribe to come to Rongdu."
"Yes! I'll do it now." Wang He looked happy.
"Go." Xiao Yuan waved his hand with a smile.
"Wei Chen resigns."
After he left, Xiao Yuangang was about to continue studying the territory of Xirong, but Lin Chu walked in quickly, clasped his fists and bent down and said: "Your Majesty, the Wushi envoy is here."
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan smiled, "Invite him in."
"Yes." Lin Chu took the order and left, and not long after, he brought Keti in.
The latter also held a wooden box in his hand. After entering, he knelt down on the ground and saluted respectfully: "The little man Keti, on behalf of the Wushi clan, specially presents the head of King Xirong to His Highness King Qin."
As he spoke, he also held the wooden box in both hands and raised it high.
The machete on his body has been removed, and the wooden box has been inspected long ago.
Lin Chu stepped forward, took the box, and put it respectfully on the table.
Xiao Yuan opened it casually and squinted slightly. When he saw the head of King Xirong, he lost all worries. After closing the box, he said: "Very good, this time, Wushi's contribution is indispensable, and I will also be rewarded heavily."
"These are what Wushi should do. The leader of Wuyi also said that from now on, Western Xinjiang will only be recognized as under the rule of Qin." Keti said, took out another letter from his arms, held it up again and said: "In addition, , this is the list of items carried by King Xirong when he escaped, please take a look at it."
The letter was presented again. Xiao Yuan unfolded it and glanced at it, then closed it and put it aside. He said with a smile: "It is up to the king to decide whether these properties belong to the Wushi."
"Ah?" Keti was in a daze for a while, but when he came to his senses, he was undoubtedly beaming with joy, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Qin!"
In his heart, those in power would like to rob and plunder, how could they be so generous?
This is related to the past rule of Western Xinjiang and the exploitation and slavery of Bai Rong.
But Xiao Yuan is not comparable to the King of Xirong. How can mere gold and silver win over people's hearts?
This list was undoubtedly Wu Yi's smartest and correct decision. Although this move was small, he could have embezzled the property, but if it was reported, the meaning would be completely different.
Xiao Yuan was in a good mood, waved his hand and said: "Okay, this is what you Wushi deserve. In the future governance of Western Xinjiang, I still need your help, and I will make clear rewards and punishments, and will never treat you unfairly." You meritorious man, get up."
"Yes, please remember this, little one." Keti was very excited, and after standing up, he was very respectful.
Xiao Yuan added: "In addition, tell the leader of Wuyi to ask him to come to Rongdu. I still have some things to discuss with him."
"Yes, the villain will definitely bring the words." Keti replied quickly.
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded and looked at Lin Chu again: "Let me entertain you."
"No." The latter accepted the order, and after taking away the wooden box's head, he extended his hand to Keti politely and said: "Your Excellency, please."
"Ah, please, general." Keti quickly lowered his body and gave Xiao Yuanshen a salute: "I'm sorry, please leave."
