The sky was slightly bright. After washing with cold water and being attended by his own soldiers, Qin Yizheng was eating dry food, that is, corn cakes, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.

I saw Mao Lifu rushing into the tent, with a face full of joy, "Your Majesty, the defender of Yaocheng has sent someone here, saying that he is willing to surrender the city!"

Qin Yi was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's great!"

This way, you don't have to spend time attacking the city.

Suddenly, another soldier rushed in, "Your Majesty, a letter has been sent from Xingze City, expressing its willingness to surrender!"

"Your Majesty, the warden of Zicheng City came in person, knelt down on one knee in front of the camp, and said that he was willing to bow his head and submit to me!" A third soldier rushed into the tent and reported joyfully.

Qin Yi couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.

These city guards are quite aware of current affairs, and their moves are quite skillful.

"In that case, let's leave the camp and accept the surrender." Qin Yi smiled slightly, stood up and said.

At this moment, several more soldiers rushed into the tent, and news came that a certain city guard was willing to surrender.

As soon as the sky dawned, there were six city guards begging for surrender. This situation surprised Qin Yi. After all, in the past, it was his troops who came to the city, and many city guards had no choice but to surrender.

But now, before his troops moved, these city guards surrendered one after another. It seems that these guys know what it means to be unstoppable.

In the next few days, Qin Yi has been busy taking over the city, changing officials, appeasing the people, arranging city defense, etc., and directly changed from a military general to a civilian official.

It can be said that the horse is mounted to conquer the world, and the horse is dismounted to rule the world.

The three major city guards of the city guard sect were defeated, and the remaining cities all understood that the change of fortune was the general trend and was beyond their ability to resist.

Therefore, no matter whether they were sincerely convinced or not, no matter whether they were willing or not, only three of the twenty cities resisted stubbornly, and the rest of the defenders all surrendered.

On the fifth day, Qin Yi led a heavy army to the northernmost city of Liukang, Xicheng.

The city guard of Zicheng City, the one who had the most fun, stayed up late at night. When he learned that the three major city guards had been destroyed, he ran all the way south from the northernmost part of Liukang until daybreak, and then he appeared in Qinyi City covered with dust.

In front of the camp.

In other words, kneeling in front of Qin Yi camp on time.

But now, Qin Yi led a heavy army across the entire territory of Liukang, from south to north, and arrived at the northernmost Jicheng, receiving a warm welcome from the people of Jicheng.

Under the arrangement of the Zicheng City Guard, many people came out of the city to greet him. With such an appearance, Qin Yi almost thought that the Zicheng City Guard was an undercover agent sent by Linzhan.

Of course, enthusiasm is enthusiasm, and the procedures must remain as usual. No matter how flattering the city guard is, he must be transferred to another city and start as a junior official.

After taking over Zicheng, the sixty-one cities in Liukang have all belonged to Qin Yi in name and in fact, and are governed by one person!

The Liukang Dynasty also completely disappeared on this day, August 11th, the sixth year of Zhanqing, and was annexed by Linzhan!

Linzhan's territory has directly changed from the land of one dynasty to the land of two dynasties!

Today, in terms of territory and strength, Linzhan is no longer what it used to be, nor can it be compared to Dali!

It is no longer the same dynasty that allowed Dali to bully it wantonly.

Directly from the younger brother of Linzhan, he became the elder of Linzhan. From the place of one dynasty, he became the leader of Linzhan, Jialuan Kingdom and Jialiukang.

And all of this was created by Qin Yi!

It can be said that Qin Yi’s original ambition to create unparalleled achievements has been completed!

The next step is to make every effort to develop people's livelihood, strengthen the military and strengthen the country, so that while the people can live a good life, they must also accumulate national strength.

After all, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. No one can guarantee that Xiangrong will not endanger Linzhan.

Even though the Xiang Rong could not invade Linzhan, if the Xiang Rong failed to resolve the Great Li, Qin Yi would not mind being the terminator of the Great Li.

After all, this dynasty is facing an old enemy, and the two sides must fight to the death.

If we don’t make a decision in this life, it will definitely cause disaster for thousands of years and bring disaster to future generations!

Therefore, there is a consensus among Qin Yi and his subordinates that there will be war in the future.

After completing the management of Liukang's sixty-one cities, Qin Yi led his troops and returned to Kangdu.

After settling down, he sent a document to Zhanjing and asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to start dispatching officials to manage Liukang Sixty-One City.

How many prefectures and counties should be divided into this huge territory, how many prefects, how many county magistrates should be dispatched, and how many officials are needed? Qin Yi left all these brain-burning issues to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to arrange.

A large number of officials were raised in the Ministry of Personnel just to do this. How could Qin Yi waste his brainpower in vain?

After all, Liukang is different from Luan State. Luan State is small and can be divided directly into one Luan Prefecture. As for Liukang, which is about two-thirds the size of Linzhan, it is estimated that it can be divided into four or five prefectures.

The dispatch of officials can be left to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but Qin Yi directly handles military appointments. He is familiar with this aspect, so there is no need to leave it to the Ministry of War.

The only ones bordering the northern part of Liukang are Dajing and Tianyou, each with worse combat power than the other, and both have good relations with Linzhan, so there is no need to deploy too many troops in Liukang's territory.

Qin Yi then decided to transform Kangdu into a military town, named Pingliu Military Town!

As for the appointment of the town coach, he has never struggled with it. He already has a suitable candidate, Sun Xingling!

This person is loyal to the dynasty and him, and has served him for a long time, so he deserves to be promoted.

In addition, Sun Xingling is a stable person, not reckless, and has enough success. He has been stationed in Kangdu for half a year and is familiar with the situation in Liukang and Kangdu, so he is the best candidate.

You can trust your own people!

After making this decision, Qin Yi summoned the generals and announced the arrangement, which immediately aroused everyone's surprise.

After being stunned for a moment, everyone came back to their senses and looked at Sun Xingling with deep envy in their eyes!

Extremely envious!

Following Qin Yi, they initially wanted to achieve meritorious service. After all, Qin Yi was invincible in every battle. By following him, they could accumulate military exploits as quickly as possible.

But later on, when the empress disappeared and Qin Yi became the perfect candidate for the new emperor, everyone more or less had the idea of ​​following Qin Yi and serving the dragon.

This will benefit them immensely!

But now, I didn't expect that Sun Xingling would be the first beneficiary!

Because I followed Qin Yi, I got such a huge promotion. It is no exaggeration to say that I have reached the top in one step!

After all, the commander-in-chief is a second-grade general!

And the commander-in-chief is far beyond an ordinary second-grade general.

Only those who gain the emperor's trust can be appointed as town commanders, in charge of the troops and horses of a town, and responsible for the safety of several mansions.

This is the position that many generals dream of!

"Xingling, congratulations!"

"General Sun, I'm so happy!"

"General, for such a happy event, you should treat us to a nice meal!"

Everyone congratulated him one after another, with lingering envy on their faces.

But Sun Xingling was stunned, his eyes gradually turned red.

He was taciturn and had no idea how to express his gratitude!

At first, when his family was in poverty and he was oppressed by Deng Xuan, he was disheartened and ready to die. It was Qin Yi who saved him.

It was Qin Yi who gave him hope, and it was Qin Yi who led him to make great achievements along the way.

He saw Qin Yi's importance and trust in him and kept it in his heart. He had nothing to do in return but to fulfill his duties faithfully to repay his kindness.

When Zhanjing fell, Qin Yi led his troops south and handed Kangdu, the imperial capital of the dynasty, into his hands.

He also handed over the control of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to him. This trust and responsibility made Sun Xingling very serious about his career. Even though his clothes were getting wider, he did not dare to be careless, only worried about ruining Qin Yi. of hard work.

Now, Qin Yi directly promoted him to a second-grade general and became one of the few commanders in Linzhan. This position was a position he had never dared to dream of!

This kind encounter made him so moved that his throat was choked with sobs and he was completely speechless!

With endless gratitude, Sun Xingling stood up, faced Qin Yi, knelt down on one knee and said solemnly, "The last general will definitely live up to the prince!"

As concise and concise as always, this is his promise!

Qin Yi stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help him up, "No need to be polite, in the future, I hope you will continue to serve the dynasty and the common people, abide by your duties and work hard!"

Sun Xingling nodded solemnly and then slowly sat back down.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Yi looked at the many generals and said, "You have fought with me and made a lot of contributions. After you return to the capital, I will definitely reward you based on your merits!"

These words are not polite. These generals are the pillars of the army. Naturally, they need to be trained well, and they should be rewarded for their merits.

Just like Mu Haorang, given his ability, it would not be an exaggeration to appoint him as commander-in-chief after the old general leaves office.

When the generals heard this, they were immediately delighted and quickly thanked him!

…

After staying in Kangdu for a few more days, when everything was settled, Qin Yi issued an order to pack his bags and prepare to return.

Of the 160,000 troops and horses, he only took away 10,000 of them from Yizi Camp. The remaining 150,000 troops and horses were left in Pingliu Military Town and were under the jurisdiction of Sun Xingling to guard the territory of Liukang.

In addition, he also granted several generals titles, all of whom were promoted to one rank. They assisted Sun Xingling and stayed in Pingliu Military Town.

After that, Qin Yi was ready to set off, but when he was putting on his armor, he suddenly thought of some problems, so he sent someone to call Sun Xingling to arrange things as properly as possible before leaving.

Not long after, Sun Xingling rushed over, bowed his hands and said, "I will pay my respects to the prince!"

Qin Yi nodded and said, "There is no need to be polite. When you stay here, you must remember that while appeasing the people, you must also let the common people of Li accept the fact that Liukang has been merged into Linzhan as soon as possible to alleviate their pain. Resistance."

"When the integration is almost complete, we can begin to recruit soldiers and horses from the Liukang territory. The number should not be large, about one hundred thousand. After the new soldiers are properly trained, they can be mixed with the Linzhan soldiers."

"Of course, everything is focused on improving people's livelihood. After all, after a long period of war, this place is exhausted, so we have to work lightly and recuperate..."

"I will let the future prefects take care of things to improve people's livelihood. You can just keep a good guard. If there are unruly people who rebel, they must be suppressed as soon as possible. After the people's livelihood has improved and you think the time is right, write a memorial. , send them back to Zhanjing, and with permission, you can start recruiting and training troops."

After all, Liukang's territory is not small, and Pingliu Military Town only has 150,000 soldiers and horses, which is not enough. Qin Yicai had such an idea and specifically asked Sun Xingling.

Sun Xingling nodded quickly and said respectfully, "I will obey the prince's teachings!"

After a pause, he continued, "I happen to have something to do, and I want to ask the prince. There is a boat building camp thirty miles north of Kangdu. There are many craftsmen in it. I don't know how to deal with it. Please give me some advice.

"

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then immediately replied, "If these craftsmen are willing to surrender, we will continue to employ them. Our army should also have naval forces. After all, there are island countries overseas. Without naval forces, our army will have difficulty resisting."

Sun Xingling nodded immediately, "I will obey your orders!"

After the arrangements were made, Qin Yi put on his armor and mounted his horse. He took some generals, his own soldiers and Yi Ziying's battalion with him. Under the courtesy of the remaining soldiers, he left Kangdu and galloped towards the south!
Chapter completed!
