Chapter 230(1/2)
"Young Envoy!!" Seeing Sun Yi being killed with his own eyes, several confidant generals rushed towards Sun Jun, but before they even got close, they were shot to death by the soldiers around them.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Yan Tao couldn't even save Sun Yi, and his eyes lost hope. He turned to look at Chu Hong, the latter was the same, as if all the aura in his body was discharged.
The other civil officials and generals also lost their will to resist because they were completely defeated!
Sun Yi was discovered and there was no need for him to burn himself up, and he also put down his weapons and surrendered.
Boping City is controlled by Ning Ze Army.
Since then, all the nine counties in Liangzhou have returned to Liu Yuanxiang.
Ning Ze ordered people to post a pleading notice so that the people do not need to worry.
The civil and military officials were summoned to the official office, and Yan Tao, Chu Hong and other captured officials and generals were taken to the lobby.
"Meet the Governor!" After sitting down, the civil and military officials from both sides were neatly visited.
He waved his hand and sat down. Ning Ze said, "Today, he will reward those who have made meritorious contributions! The commander Ding Que, Gongcao Yangping, and Supervisor Deng Bing, where are the supervisors?"
The three of them immediately left the line and respectfully.
"Ding Que!"
"The last one will be here!"
"You can abandon the darkness and turn to the light and help our army win Boping, which is a great contribution!" Ning Ze said, the nine counties in Liangzhou have experienced wars and need to stabilize as soon as possible. Do you have any objections to appoint you as the prefect of Changping?"
Ding Que was overjoyed: "The last general will receive the order!"
"Yang Ping!"
"Here!" Gongcao Yangping responded quickly.
"Are you willing to go to Shouyang and serve as the prefect of Shouyang?"
"You must do your best!" Yang Ping was extremely excited. He wanted to turn against him in the face of the battle to save his life, but he was highly valued and became the prefect of a county.
Seeing Ding Que, Yang Ping was named the prefect. When he remembered that the nine counties of Liangzhou were taken down by Ning Ze, there must be many vacancies in many places, and Deng Bing's heart ignited a flame of hope.
"Deng Bing!"
"The last one is here!" Seeing Ning Ze call him, he immediately responded and was very excited.
"How about appointing you as the prefect of Funing?"
"I wish to die for the Marquis!" Deng Bing was ecstatic.
Except for the three, the other surrenders who participated in the rebellion and assisted Ningze in seizing Boping County were rewarded.
After arranging the main locations of the nine counties of Liangzhou, Ning Ze turned to Sun Jun, and his tone was a little sorry: "Fourth Prince, are you somewhat overstepping the authority? Now that you have recaptured the nine counties of Liangzhou, you will be the one who wrote to the court to recommend the prince to take over as the governor. The internal affairs of Liangzhou should also be handed over to the Fourth Prince to handle it personally."
Sun Jun quickly replied in panic: "The Marquis of Danyang is ordered by the court. Not to mention that he has not received the order yet, he is not the governor of Liangzhou. Even if he takes office, he dare not disobey the Marquis. Liangzhou is not the Liangzhou of Sun's clan, but the Liangzhou of Dacheng."
He knew that Ning Ze's words meant to be tempted. If he showed a little dissatisfaction with him overstepping power, he would definitely be done in the future. Being able to defeat the nine counties of Liangzhou is all based on the strength of others. If he really thought that he could take the entire Liangzhou back to his hands and escape from the other party's control, he would be seeking death.
Ning Ze smiled and nodded. Sun Jun was still smart. I finally managed Liangzhou and could manage it for you, but it was impossible for you to take it for yourself. If you are dissatisfied with my place of someone else, you will not be able to think of anything.
Continue to reward merits and rewards, including Dewey, Wang Wei, Ding Mu and others, as well as Xiang Rong and Xiang Yan and other civil and military officials who are still in other cities, all of whom were granted officials and given gold. They greatly enhance their loyalty and ensure that they will not betrayal.
Afterwards, the captured officials were ordered to bring their tie up.
Those were all loyal to Sun Yi. They pretended to surrender before, but in fact they did not change their camps.
After Sun Yi's death, these people all became [in the wild] state.
Everyone has carefully looked at the attributes of their own, but they have not found that there are more than 90 intelligence, and their attributes are very mediocre.
The person who fought with himself was not among them.
Of course, Ning Ze would not let go of such a talent. Finding him and recruiting him is the most important task at the moment.
He was not in a hurry and recruited these civil servants and generals in the opposition one by one.
Although most people have poor attributes, at least they have not betrayed until Sun Yi died, and they have good character. Once these officials and generals have successfully recruited them, the chance of being sued is very low and relatively safe.
Most of these captured civil servants were unwilling to surrender and had a firm attitude. They refused Ning Ze's recruitment and would rather give up their official position and become a civilian.
According to Ning Ze's temper and his previous habit of playing games, he refused to surrender and directly chopped him down. Sun Jun advised from the side: "Liangzhou was decided at the beginning, if the killing was too heavy, it would be easy to be turbulent."
So Ning Ze spared them and agreed to resign. But he was not released immediately. Regardless of whether he agreed to the recruitment or not, he called him to wait after asking.
Yan Tao and Chu Hong were placed at the end. When it was Yan Tao's turn, he took the initiative to stand up: "Xiguan is willing to return to Duwu County and continue to benefit the people!"
Ning Ze agreed to his request and allowed him to continue to serve as the magistrate of Duwu County, but the county staff had to reshuffle and arrange his own people.
Yan Tao retreated to the side and Chu Hong stepped forward.
Ning Ze asked: "You are Sun Yi's counselor. I heard that the Changkou Army was created by you. There are also people who have helped Sun Yi break my plan several times, and you are the ones who are also here?"
"That's right!" Chu Hong bowed and responded.
Ning Ze smiled and shook his head: "Although everyone says that, I don't believe it!"
"I don't know what this means?" Chu Hong pretended to be stupid.
"Mr. Chu knows it well," said Ning Ze. "Although Mr. Chu is smart, he is not enough to compete with me. It is not that he looks down on him, and some things cannot be hidden. Please tell me the truth about the one who created the Changkou Army in the future!"
"Mr. Marquis Mingjian is indeed an original creation!" Chu Hong replied.
"I'm not stupid!" Ning Ze leaned against the table with his left hand, opened his mouth and yawned, and continued, "This person is quite close to Mr. Hun. According to my inference, he must be a relative in the mansion. If the gentleman doesn't say it, I will go and look for him in person."
Chu Hong was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself how Ning Ze knew?
The things Chu Wenxiu had come up with ideas were not even aware of, except for herself.
If he knew the truth, wouldn’t he have harmed his niece?
He hurriedly replied: "The Marquis doesn't believe it, and I can't help! All the previous actions are indeed what I did, and everyone can prove it!"
While speaking, he pointed at Yan Tao and others.
"Mr. Marquis, we can testify!" Yan Tao said immediately, "All the previous plans were from Mr. Chu."
"That's right! I can prove it."
...
"It's true!!" Ding Que, Yang Ping and Deng Bing helped to speak.
They all saw Chu Hong’s advice with their own eyes, but they didn’t know what Chu Hong was doing at home.
"Mr. Marquis," Chu Hong said, "I really plan for everything before!"
Ning Ze thought for a few seconds: "Is that right? Mr. Chu is very smart and smart, can he be willing to join our army?"
"This..." Chu Hong looked hesitant.
"Let's do it!" Ning Ze said, "I believe everyone is tired after a night of hard fighting. We present a banquet, and everyone present drinks happily to celebrate. After the banquet, we just go back to rest and nourish our spirits. We will postpone this matter and give Mr. Chu time to consider it carefully."
When Chu Hong heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Marquis!"
"Come on, have a banquet!"
Ning Ze gave the order and delivered good wine and food to the official office and held a celebration banquet directly.
It was so hot that she could drink here. On the other hand, Ning Ze secretly ordered Ning Yong to ask him to find local soldiers to lead the way to Chu Hong's house.
Boping County was captured and the streets were replaced by Ningze troops. Chu Hong had no news yet, so his family naturally worried.
The Chu family gathered anxiously in the hall and restlessly.
Suddenly there was noisy footsteps outside, and someone knocked on the door.
When the servant opened the door, Ning Yong immediately led a large group of soldiers into the house, surrounding all passages in front, back and forth.
Chu Hong's wife Cao was in panic and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Why is Jun Ye like this?"
"According to the order of the Marquis of Danyang, please invite the Chu family to the official office to attend the banquet!" Ning Yong clapped his hands and called the soldiers to "invitation" everyone in the Chu family to go out.
When I came outside the house, I found a carriage for the women in the house to ride.
Cao pulled his daughter Chu Yu in his left hand and Chu Wenxiu in his right hand, feeling uneasy.
Chu Yu was also very scared and then came out and whispered: "Mom, is there something wrong with my father?"
"Mom doesn't know either!" Cao clasped his daughter's little hand tightly and trembled slightly.
Chu Wenxiu gently pinched Cao and whispered: "Auntie, don't worry. These people are afraid that they are coming to me, so they shouldn't hurt you!"
"What does this mean?" Cao asked in confusion.
"No need to worry!" Chu Wenxiu replied, "Although the other party sent troops to escort, he was preparing to put up a carriage with courtesy, which means there was no malice."
After hearing what she said, Cao felt a little relieved and asked in a low voice: "Maybe the master surrendered?"
"It's possible! In short, when you get there, the truth will be revealed!" Chu Wenxiu comforted the Cao family and daughter and boarded the carriage together.
The banquet was quite lively.
Ning Yong returned to the official office and quickly ran to Ning Ze's ear and whispered a few words.
Ning Ze smiled and stood up and clapped his hands: "Sing and dancing, stop!"
The singer and dancer in the hall immediately stopped and stood respectfully towards Ning Ze.
