Chapter 570 Next, what should we do with the Jingnan Army?
Chapter 570
After Yang Qian bowed down, dozens of generals behind him also bowed down in unison.
Mrs. Xiao stepped down the steps with Wang Zhong's gentle help, and walked to Yang Qian and raised her hands to help her.
"Pingsheng, get up quickly. The Yang Xiaoqing family and the Ai family never thought that you and I would meet in such a scene."
"I didn't expect that." Yang Qian thanked him, stood up, and said with a sigh.
"I never thought that the separation between Jiangdu and His Majesty would be separated by yin and yang, and we would never see each other again."
"Although I cannot follow Your Majesty under the Nine Springs like a Tathagata general. Fortunately, I have captured Yu Wenhuaji and all his accomplices."
"When I move to Jiangdu, I will definitely fulfill your Majesty's last wish."
"Your Majesty's last wish?" Queen Xiao was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Yang Qian meant by this.
"I forgot to report to your Majesty, your Majesty, before your death, you left me a letter..." Yang Qian explained with a bow to Empress Xiao.
While talking, Yang Qian reached out and untied a long bamboo tube from his waist, then took out a piece of rice paper and presented it with both hands respectfully.
"This is a copy that I ordered someone close to me to make so that I can carry it with me. Your Majesty's original work is feared to be lost, so I have treasured it."
Queen Xiao took it with a suspicious look on her face, stared blankly at the writing on the rice paper, and murmured.
"I dreamed that Jiangnan was good, and the expedition to Liao was also accidental, but the color is still there, and I can only leave this year..."
Below, there were still more than twenty small characters. Queen Xiao, whose eyes were already red, blinked and looked carefully again, and saw the familiar handwriting, just like the familiar husband, His Majesty of the Sui Dynasty.
"I have failed the world, but fortunately I will not fail Jiangnan. After the world is at peace, I hope you will let me sleep peacefully in Jiangdu Palace."
"This is my only wish. The Yang Xiaoqing family should take good care of themselves."
Queen Xiao's tears suddenly rolled down like broken beads, the familiar handwriting that penetrated the back of the paper, and the persistence and looseness between the words.
It's like seeing that husband who likes to hold his head high, laugh, act recklessly, and look down on the world.
"Your Majesty..." Empress Xiao suddenly held the copy carefully into her arms and slowly fell to the ground. Her sad voice was like a cuckoo crying blood.
Yang Qian couldn't help but his eyes turned red, he turned his head sideways and looked at the sky.
The wind is strong and the trees are rustling...

Empress Xiao fell ill and had a high fever. Fortunately, the doctors treated her in time, but Empress Xiao also lay in bed for two full days.
Empress Xiao was seriously ill, so Yang Qian naturally had no way to capture Brother Yuwen and then went south.
However, the Fan army advanced to suppress Yu Wenhua and the rebel army, causing most of the Jingnan army to gather here.
Now that the war has been decided, it is time to deal with the follow-up affairs and arrange the directions of each army.
Yang Qian did not live in Tancheng, but continued to live in the military camp. During the battle with the rebels, the Jingnan Army captured a large amount of materials and military supplies.
Of course, there were also a large number of prisoners of war, as well as many troops who fought against the enemy during the attack on Tancheng.
There were more than 30,000 prisoners of war, and there were more than 15,000 troops to break up the chaos. They were all pulled out of the city, and the prisoners of war were naturally held alone.
The army that brought chaos to order needs to be dispersed and reorganized. After all, the Jingnan Army is a collective and cannot have any hills.
At this moment, the Chinese army's tent was packed with generals under Yang Qian's command.
There are definitely as many famous generals as dogs, uh...how should I say the word of praise? Yes, it should be called "Famous Generals Like Clouds".
Yang Qian looked at these famous generals and ministers with pleasure. Such a lineup was definitely top-notch. Most of the world's little experts in marching and fighting had already been brought under his command.
This feeling really gives Yang Qian, a humble gentleman who came from time-travel, a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
After all the generals in the camp calmed down, Yang Qian knocked on the table and said.
"The land of Jianghuai is the source of our Jingnan Army. If there is no chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, food and military supplies can not only be supplied to the Jingnan Army, but also the food in our hands can be used to appease the newly consolidated counties."
"Therefore, I won't say much about the importance of Jianghuai. The second brother is old and serious, and has been stationed in Jiangnan for a long time..."
"Commander, the general is unwilling to stay in Jiangnan." Brother Qin immediately stood up to express his objection.
"..." Yang Qian looked at this person helplessly, where is the promised loyalty to the country?
Looking at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I thought you were honest and loyal, but you were the first to express your objection. What do you mean?
"Commander, the general is really tired of staying in the land south of the Yangtze River. What's more, the general's strength lies in marching and fighting, not in politics."
"Therefore, the general hopes that the commander-in-chief can consider the candidates to rule the counties south of the Yangtze River."
"General Qin, why are you so anxious before the commander has finished speaking?" Changsun Wuji quickly stood up to help calm the situation.
Brother Qin then shrank back a little embarrassed.
Yang Qian cleared his throat and said, "I know your thoughts very well. Everyone hopes to make great achievements. This is a good thing and deserves recognition and praise."
"However, we can't just think about fighting. As the saying goes, we can conquer the world immediately, but we can't rule the world immediately."
"So, I hope that all of you can not only lift a knife, but also be able to hold a pen. Do you understand?"
"Furthermore, now that we control more and more counties, we will inevitably need a lot of manpower.
If you all go to fight in the army, then who should govern these counties?"
Yang Qian began to talk eloquently, which made Brother Qin sweat like rain and look ashamed. All the generals who had originally made up their minds to squat in the military camp also touched their noses and did not dare to murmur.
#####
"Everyone should go back and think about it carefully. If there is peace in the world, can't you continue to worry about the country?"
Having said this, the elegant leader of the Jingnan Army, Yang Qian, secretly wiped the foam from the corners of his mouth and dismissed the crowd.
Changsun Wuji quickly sneaked back with a ghostly look on his face, with a sinister smile on his face and a round face of a profiteer. He didn't look like a good person at all.
"Commander, hey hey hey..."
"You just talk, can you please stop laughing and affecting my appetite?" Yang Qian angrily took two mouthfuls of rice, took the chopsticks and stuffed the roast pork into his mouth, and then complained.
Changsun Wuji had long been accustomed to being shameless and sat down next to Yang Qian.
"Um, Zhili, hurry up and get me a bowl too."
Zhili glared at this shameless person with disgust, but still adhered to the etiquette of not losing the scholarly family's personal scholar, and added a bowl to this guy.
"Commander, tell me... Now that we have captured the Yuwen brothers, we have avenged His Majesty's hatred. What should our Jingnan Army do next?"
"Of course we want to put an end to the chaos in the world." Yang Qian glanced at this guy and said unhurriedly. After speaking, he took two more bites and handed the smooth and clean bowl to Zhili who was standing aside.
"What about after the peace is settled?" Changsun Wuji glanced at the rice bucket in front of Zhili and asked again.
"After peace? What do you want to say?" Yang Qian took the bowl, took two more bites, and continued to eat happily. People are like iron, and rice is like steel. After a meal, you will feel hungry.
"Today, the world is in chaos, and the prestige of the imperial court has been shattered. Now the one who is most likely to rule the world is my Jingnan Army."
"Previously, the commander-in-chief wanted to fulfill his promise to His Majesty and insisted on revenge. Naturally, we all agreed with our hands."
"It's just that now, the Commander-in-Chief's wish has been fulfilled. That's why I will come to inquire on behalf of everyone."
