Chapter 595 Imperial Edict and Announcement
The reply with Song Mo's red ink was delivered to Xie Zhan on the fourth day.
Xie Zhan looked at the four words "approved" written in red ink on the memorial, took a deep breath, and sent someone to tell Qin Zhao and others that the emperor agreed to their conditions and the city gates would be opened in three days for a period of seven days.
After the agreement was reached, Song Mo's imperial edict was issued to the world.
The Battle of the East China Sea was over, and the King of Jin and the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force would withdraw from the East China Sea.
In order to celebrate the court's suppression of all rebellions in the south, the emperor issued a general amnesty, and the suffering South was exempted from taxes for three years.
At the same time, in order to celebrate with the people, the emperor specially issued an order to open all the major city gates for a period of seven days. During this period, the people could go out of the city to play without a pass.
At the same time, Pingzhou also issued an official announcement.
The whole announcement roughly meant that the Battle of the East China Sea was over, and the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force achieved brilliant results in the Battle of the East China Sea with minimal losses.
In view of the fact that many talents of Pingzhou were detained by the Dali Dynasty. Therefore, the governor decided to use the two counties obtained by the Pingzhou expeditionary army in the East China Sea to exchange this group of people who were interested in Pingzhou with the Dali court.
The Dali Emperor has agreed to this condition and will open the major city gates in the jurisdiction on March 20 for a period of seven days.
Considering that the opening date of major cities is short and it is difficult for people to travel, Pingzhou decided to set up three routes to Pingzhou from Dongtai County, Guangling, Jimo, Beihai, and Yi'an, Nandi, starting from March 20.
Those in need can go to board the ship according to the route.
Unlike the imperial edict issued by the Dali court to celebrate the whole world, when Pingzhou's announcement came out, countless wise men were speechless.
A big deal, Pingzhou is really a big deal!
Two counties, half a state.
Pingzhou is willing to use two counties to exchange for these people trapped in Dali!
Pingzhou, Pingzhou, I am convinced, I am really convinced.
When Fan Yang learned of Pingzhou's announcement, he stood up!
The Dali court used an imperial edict of amnesty to whitewash the peace and confuse the public, and did not dare to mention that Pingzhou was willing to sacrifice two counties for talents.
The court's means were only to deceive most of the shallow-minded ordinary people.
Fan Yang saw something deeper from it.
As the lord of Pingzhou, Lu Songli was able to maintain restraint under the premise of being in an advantageous position.
Thinking deeply about the reasons, it is nothing more than wanting to preserve its own strength and not wanting to consume the strength of the court. All of this, in the final analysis, is because of the Xianbei.
He saw the righteousness of Pingzhou and the broad mind of Lu Songli.
In addition, Pingzhou spent so much manpower, material resources, time and brainpower to conquer the territory, and Lu Songli gave it up for the sake of talents.
He always thought that those who could sensibly give the great benefits within their reach to the friendly forces (the imperial court and Pingzhou were both in the Han camp) would have the ability to take them back later, and those with such a broad mind would have the potential to become great.
Strong enemy!
In time, Lv Songli would become a calamity for the Dali Dynasty.
Xianbei Royal Court
Not only the imperial court and Pingzhou were paying attention to the East China Sea Campaign, but the Xianbei were also paying close attention.
Lv Songli kept his promise and returned all the Fuyu captives to them after Qin Heng returned to Pingzhou.
Later, they noticed that the East China Sea War was in full swing.
Fight, fight!
In order to let them fight among themselves, the Xianbei also deliberately slowed down their pace of going south to Dali, and since it was spring plowing time, they also planned to let their people learn. So during this period, they calmed down and even stopped harassing the people of Dali.
But what kind of reward did the Dali imperial court finally give them?
When the results of the negotiations between Pingzhou and the Dali court in the East China Sea came, the members of the Xianbei royal court couldn't help but spit in the direction of Chang'an, "Waste!"
It's really a hopeless case, and they let down their good intentions.
Jizhou
(Time goes back to two days ago)
The new army of the Sun family army reached the execution platform, and it was just past noon, so everyone took a short rest.
At this time, a woman came to find Wang Dong, "Director Wang, the child has a fever."
"Fever? Go to the logistics department to get medicine later."
"Everyone hold on, and you will reach Youzhou in the front." Wang Dong and others kept encouraging everyone.
As soon as he left Chang'an, Wang Dong consciously asked everyone to hurry up, and even some of the worthless and large items in the team were left behind by him.
It's not that he left them behind, but he found a place to put them and come back to get them when he had the chance.
Of course, if they came to get them, these things were gone, and there was nothing they could do.
At this time, human life must be important.
Wang Dong just sat down and wanted to eat something hot when he saw Han Jinchen coming with several leading generals.
Han Jinchen is the grandson of the old lady Sun. He is 22 years old this year. He returned to Chang'an to recuperate due to an injury and did not follow the army to the north to fight against the Hu. This time, the Sun family formed a new army, and he, an old general with experience in leading troops, became one of the main generals of the new army.
Wang Dong saw that his expression was not right, and immediately stepped forward, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Han Jinchen said, "Director Wang, according to the scouts' inquiries, a large number of troops are coming in our direction."
Hearing this, everyone's heart sank.
Are these troops coming for them? Are they enemies or friends?
Did the court discover the truth? Impossible.
Is it the Xianbei army? During this period, the Xianbei army often harassed Zhongshan Xinxing and other places...
For a moment, Wang Dong was full of thoughts.
"Director Wang, what should we do?"
"Is there any place suitable for hiding or defense nearby?" Their weak army could not face the approaching people directly.
"There is a place ahead that is suitable for defense..."
"Then let's go!"
They did it right away. They immediately went forward to explain the situation to the main force, and then prepared to move to the place Han Jinchen mentioned just now.
The members of the new army are all descendants of the Sun family soldiers. They still have combat awareness. Even the women obey the military orders.
At this time, more than a dozen riders came galloping from a distance. The leading man was tall and burly. He led the way, followed by more than a dozen riders.
When the other side saw them, they shouted and started.
The wind was strong in the wild. At first, Wang Dong and his men did not hear clearly what he was shouting, and they were all on high alert.
"Jinchen--"
"Sun Qi--"
When they got closer, they heard clearly and saw the approaching people clearly.
"It's my uncle!"
"It's my grandfather!"
It's one of us!
Wang Dong realized that it was Sun Ming who came to meet them in person with a large army!
When the Sun Family Army led by Sun Ming came to the front, most of the families of the Sun Family Army were dumbfounded. Who can tell them how their dead family members came back to life? It was still great that the Sun Family Army was not completely wiped out, and their loved ones and families were still there. It was great.
After a long separation, everyone was very happy.
Sun Ming talked with his family for a long time and was ready to find Wang Dong.
At this time, Sun Qi's face changed drastically, "Grandfather, great grandmother and others are still in Chang'an!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and others heard the words and gathered around.
Sun Ming signaled them to stay calm, "Don't worry, our governor has made arrangements."
With General Sun's words, everyone else calmed down.
Sun Ming found Wang Dong and told him about Donghai entering the negotiations, "The governor asked you to be ready."
Wang Dong said as soon as he heard it, "General Sun, these people are entrusted to you."
He was going to prepare for the next thing, and he must make their Pingzhou's name of benevolence and righteousness spread throughout the world!
