Next, Xiao Yuan discussed with Shangguan Wenruo about the garrison, and finally decided that Zhao Mu would guard Lingdi and command 100,000 troops to be stationed north of Ruizhou.
The selection of this location is of absolute strategic significance. It not only facilitates the subsequent supply transportation of the base camp, but also chokes the throats of several counties.
After formulating these matters, Xiao Yuan said casually: "In the opinion of the military advisor, will there be any rebellion in Lingyang later?"
Shangguan Wenruo was stunned and did not dare to answer easily: "The king has always been far-sighted and I believe he has made a decision in his heart."
Xiao Yuan smiled: "Okay, I'm tired today, so you can go down first."
"Yes, I will retire." Shangguan Wenruo bowed and retired.
In fact, judging from the various layouts, it is aimed at the spiritual land.
At the beginning, King Ling obtained the hereditary marquis title for his eldest son Ling Yang on the condition that the eastern border army and the whole country surrendered. This title was announced to the world by Xiao Yuan through a royal edict.
In the current situation, he cannot attack Lingyang casually, otherwise, not only will his prestige be affected, but it will also trigger widespread panic and rebellion in Lingyang.
During this period, he dealt with a lot of things. He had ordered the Duwei camp to take Cheng Ping back to Qinzhou and place him under secret house arrest, as well as Yin Dian.
These two people, one is the number one counselor in the Ling Kingdom and the other is a general, both pose great threats.
The latter resisted tenaciously at the time, but with his own efforts, he naturally did not cause any trouble.
On the other hand, Xiao Yuan did not take any measures against He Miao. This old prime minister of Ling Kingdom was in his position based on his seniority. Now he regarded himself as Lingyang's teacher and often visited Lingyang Mansion.
The next day, Xiao Yuan summoned three more people in the study.
Miao Wei and Feng Xin, and Kong Cheng.
The first two men were responsible for opening the North Gate, and they are now working for General Anton and Lingzhou of Qin State respectively.
Kong Cheng, one of the top nobles in the Dongling clan, talks about benevolence, justice and morality, and has a high-sounding appearance, but in fact he has long secretly cultivated his reputation.
But he is a very key person, because in the eyes of the previous Lingguo, Kong Cheng was an absolutely loyal minister.
Now, when he saw Xiao Yuan, Kong Cheng trotted forward, knelt down on the ground, with his butt raised, and flattered him: "The king is so talented and bold, he has conquered the world. He can be said to be the best king in the ages. I have always been fond of the king." I admire you so much, and to be summoned today is truly a blessing for three lifetimes..."
Such flattery made even Miao Wei and Feng Xin on the side a little surprised, especially Feng Xin, who was a scholar, and the way he looked at Kong Cheng changed a bit.
Doesn’t this person claim to be a great figure in the literary world, speak righteously, and keep saying that he will be loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and die with the country? Why is he like this today?
Xiao Yuan showed no expression, and said in a calm voice: "Ai Qing Pingshen, I summoned you here today because I have something important to explain."
"Please give me your Majesty's orders, I will go through fire and water." Kong Cheng looked serious.
Xiao Yuandao: "Kong Aiqing's main task is to monitor Lingyang for me and send a message as soon as there is any trouble. Your current status is very good, and Lingyang will definitely look for you."
Because the Kong family is a large gentry family, if Lingyang has any idea or wants to achieve something, he must get the support of these people. He may not find other former ministers, but he will definitely find the Kong family.
"In addition, these are General Miao and Lord Feng. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can ask for help secretly." Xiao Yuan said, introducing Miao Wei and Feng Xin.
"Understood, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will live up to my great trust!" Kong Cheng quickly agreed, then nodded towards Miao Wei and Feng Xin.
The reason why Xiao Yuan asked the three of them to come over had other considerations. The most important thing was that Feng Xin was currently working for Lingzhou. There are some officers and soldiers.
After explaining this matter, Xiao Yuan asked them to retreat. In the afternoon, I met Chang Zhen again.
Xiao Yuan did not show any dissatisfaction with Chang Zhen, and had a polite conversation with him and some comfort.
Accepting surrender, pacifying, appeasing, official positions, dealing with the nobles...it was a whole lot of things, and Xiao Yuan was busy for three or four months.
During this period, Lingdi went through the change of power smoothly and basically completed the reunification of the country. King Ling's condition became more and more serious and he could no longer get out of bed.
Xiao Yuan packed up some of Lingguo's official classics and prepared to return to the court.
At this time, officials sent by Wang Ting began to take up their posts one after another, and the new troops transferred had begun to form military guards in various places.
Hongyang County.
After this county was located in Lingzhou, it was not affected by the original battle of Qin Ling. It was decided after King Ling surrendered.
Although the governor of Hongyang County has been transferred, he is still the former Lingchen, and his policies have not changed much and remain the same.
This is also the place where Qin general Cao Jin took office, and was proposed to be the captain of Hongyang County and the chief of Wuwei Mansion.
Hongyang is a large county. Not only did he bring more than 2,000 new troops, but he was also accompanied by Zhang Xun, who also came to serve as the county magistrate.
The reason why we brought so many people was that not only did we need to establish a county-level Wuwei Mansion, but we also needed people at the county level.
Of course, Zhang Xun was an official of the Qin State. He was transferred by Jiangling Lord Bo and was considered a promotion.
Hongyang City Gate is tall and there are many pedestrians coming in and out. Such a large number of soldiers naturally caused a commotion, and the people quickly gave way to both sides.
Recognizing that these were the official uniforms worn by Qin Jun and Zhang Xun, the city gate guards did not dare to make a mistake and looked at each other one after another. A team leader also trotted over quickly, nodded and bowed and said with a smile: "I don't know, General... ....”
Cao Jin was wearing the armor specially made by the officers of the Wuwei Mansion, holding a riding whip in his hand, and said in a gentle voice: "I have been appointed as the Lieutenant of Hongyang County by the king's order."
Then he introduced Zhang Xun: "This is the newly appointed county magistrate, Mr. Zhang Xun."
"Ah, it turns out they are two adults." The team leader bent down and said, "I offended you a lot just now. I hope you will forgive me."
"It doesn't matter. From now on, you and your men will be under the control of my officer." Cao Jin said concisely and concisely.
"Yes, yes, my lord, please come into the city." How dare the captain say no? This is a county lieutenant, in charge of all the officers and soldiers of the county.
After entering the city, the little chaos didn't cause anything. People on both sides of the street stopped and started talking quietly with others.
"I heard the war is over..."
"Yes, Lingguo is gone. Now Hongyang belongs to Qin..."
"I don't know if these two newly appointed officials are good or bad..."
"As long as there is no war, it will be fine. If there is a war, it will be us civilians who suffer..."
"Yes, our family's food rations were all gone..."
"Don't talk about rations. I heard that hundreds of thousands of people died in Caizhou..."
"Well, the wars between the countries have been going on for so many years and the world is in chaos. Who doesn't want a stable life..."
"I heard that King Qin has already unified the world..."
