Chapter 361

Outside the Qingzhou camp, King Yong was wearing armor and a sword on his waist, looking like a fierce general on the battlefield.

Chen Xinran was a little helpless standing behind King Yong at this time.

When the barbarians retreated, King Yong was naturally overjoyed, but then he thought of how to get the most out of this great victory.

One of these benefits is naturally military merit, and the second is the spoils of war on the battlefield.

This time, the barbarians dropped a large number of war horses and 200 artillery pieces.

It's just that neither Jinwuwei nor the Qingzhou Army seems to be unwilling to share these spoils with King Yong, and he is naturally clear about the reasons.

While King Yong was shouting, Xiao Ming walked out of the camp.

At this time, Xiao Ming looked dignified, and there was no smile on his face.

Seeing this, King Yong suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and immediately put away his domineering appearance.

It's just that he is used to being domineering in the fief, and he is Xiao Ming's elder. Relying on this identity, he still said to Xiao Ming: "King Qi, what do you mean by the Qingzhou army's monopoly on artillery? Do you want to eat alone? Don't forget, this is But this king's fief."

Xiao Ming glanced at King Yong lightly, the two had not seen each other for five or six years, and their relationship was not very good before, he said: "Fourth Emperor, please respect yourself, don't you know why the Fourth Emperor is still in the war in Jizhou? After the war, how did the fourth uncle fight, do you need to tell your nephew about these things to the fourth uncle? Or does the fourth uncle want his nephew to tell the father?"

When King Yong heard the words, his expression changed immediately, and he said angrily: "Xiao Ming, what do you mean by saying this? Don't think that this king doesn't know about your collection of refugees in this king's fief. If this matter goes up, you won't be able to please you. ."

"Hahaha..." Hearing this, Xiao Ming laughed, "I don't want to rely on military merit this time. At most, the disaster victims are scolded by the father and emperor. What am I afraid of? It's the emperor's uncle who sold the disaster relief food and grass, which led to the ineffective disaster relief, barbarians. When the army arrives, the uncle can't defend himself, and I don't know if these two things combined are enough to cut off the uncle's one-word king."

In the Great Yu Kingdom, the honorary titles of the one-character kings are higher, such as Yongwang, Weiwang, and the two-character kings are relatively low, such as the Huainan king.

The vassal king made a big mistake, and the imperial court could completely lower the title of the vassal king to express punishment. From then on, the two-character king had to perform the court ceremony when he saw the one-character king.

King Yong had a guilty conscience, but Xiao Ming was so tough that it scared him a lot.

This Luo Quan is hard to say because of his status as King Yong. Now that Xiao Ming doesn't eat hard or soft, he naturally has no tricks.

Turning his eyes, King Yong suddenly squeezed out a smile, "Nephew, you and I are both members of the royal family. Wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders to tear down each other's platforms, that's all, that's all, I don't want this artillery, but this war horse is always a joke. Give me some."

"No way. This time, my nephew worked hard and spent a lot of food and grass, and it was to save the emperor. I heard that the emperor never made a loss-making business, and the nephew didn't do it either."

Xiao Ming said word by word.

The incident in Jizhou this time was too sudden, so he could only forcefully support it, but in order to lift the siege of Jizhou, not to mention the casualties of the soldiers, just food, cannonballs, gunpowder and other items consumed a lot of money.

Although more than 200,000 refugees have been fooled and migrated to the fief, this is still not enough to satisfy him.

King Yong has a fiery temper, Xiao Ming can't do this or that, he said impatiently: "It's not okay, that's not okay, nephew, don't force the emperor to be rude, don't forget, this is mine manor."

"So what, is Uncle Huang going to fight me?" Xiao Ming sneered.

After expelling the barbarians on the grasslands and taking Shanhaiguan, he does not need King Yong to guard the western gateway for himself.

Moreover, once he occupies Shanhaiguan, the passage for the barbarians to enter and exit the Central Plains is in his hands, and these vassal kings should pay him protection fees, so Xiao Ming is also polite to King Yong.

He did it to vent his anger, and also to let these people understand that Xiao Ming was not something everyone could handle, and also for the future development.

If he does not convince King Yong, how can he freely profit from King Yong's fief.

King Yong wanted to say something else, when Chen Xinran suddenly stopped King Yong, and he said, "His Royal Highness King Qi has misunderstood, the Qingzhou army is extremely powerful, how can we be opponents?"

Then Chen Xinran pulled King Yong to one side and said softly, "Your Highness, now is not the time to offend King Qi, let alone the artillery, now the Qingzhou Army has added muskets and hot air balloons, and now we are begging him to be the one. After all, in this war, the Jizhou army was severely damaged, and if there is no firearm, the king of Liang on the side will be riding on top of our heads."

King Yong's eyes rolled, he nodded slowly, and said, "But what can I do? You also saw King Qi's face, it's just too rude."

Chen Xinran said at this time: "His Royal Highness, King Qi has already made it very clear. What he wants is the compensation for sending troops this time. As long as this is satisfied, I believe that King Qi will still be flexible."

King Yong nodded when he heard the words, and said to Xiao Ming: "My nephew, thank you for coming to Jizhou to help me this time. Uncle Huang understands that my nephew's lands are in ruins, and he is very tired. I am willing to exchange something for this cannon, I don't know. Does my nephew need food and grass or..."

Saying this, Xiao Ming showed a smile.

When he saw Chen Xinran, it seemed that there were still sensible people around this King Yong.

So he said: "These barbarian artillery pieces are not very useful to the king, but they can be given to the uncle, but the uncle also knows that the nephew's fief is sparsely populated and lacks manpower, and the nephew's requirements are not high, only the uncle is needed. Allow my nephew to gather the victims in Jizhou, and hand over the victims of the Qinglong King and his subordinates to his nephew."

Speaking of King Qinglong, King Yong had a fierce look on his face, and he said, "Everyone gets this scoundrel and kills him. The barbarians are retreating. I'm about to clean up him and the rioters who followed the rebellion. Since my nephew needs manpower, then this king will send them to him. They were all demoted to slaves and given to their nephews."

"It's unnecessary. Uncle Huang only needs to cooperate with the Qingzhou Army to capture the Qinglong King. These victims will be dealt with by the king himself." Xiao Ming said.

There are still many victims under the command of King Qinglong. These people are all innocent. If King Yong is dealt with, it is estimated that there will be many casualties.

Therefore, he just needs to use the power of King Yong to defeat King Qinglong and gather the victims.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." King Yong laughed.

For him, these rioters were a threat, and he wanted to kill them immediately, and even if these rioters surrendered, he would have no food for them to eat.

Therefore, he did not resist Xiao Ming's request.

Xiao Ming nodded when he heard the words. With King Yong's knowledge, he couldn't see the importance of population. He saw this. If he could add 400,000 to 500,000 people to the fief this time, he would have won this battle in vain. .
