Although the war between the four countries was quickly quelled by Chu Yingyi within a month, the post-war matters that needed to be dealt with were still not good.
For example, compensation for defeat, military casualties, resettlement issues for people involved in the war, etc., all need to be dealt with.
Especially this time, the Chu family's army suffered heavy casualties. There were less than 300,000 people left in the 500,000-strong army, and they still needed to expand their ranks.
Although Chu Yingyi did not have to do all these things personally, he was still indispensable for reviewing and giving instructions one by one.
Therefore, since Chu Yingyi returned to the military camp again, he has been busy for a month and has not finished everything.
The matter of compensation is not so easy to resolve, because the Chu family army suffered heavy losses, and the compensation Chu Yingyi demands will definitely not be low.
In the past, as long as Chu Yingyi could say it, even if the request was too much, no one in the four countries would say anything. Who could let someone be so strong?
If you don't give it, it's okay. They will just bring the army and fight over!
At that time, not only the land will be taken away, but also the money and wealth will be taken away, and the face will be lost.
This is really a loss of face.
However, this time is different. The Chu family's army only has less than 300,000 left, and even one-third of them are disabled and wounded. In addition, there are some fixed personnel who need to stay in the camp, so they can go to the battlefield to kill.
The enemy's men are less than 200,000, and these 200,000 have to be divided into three groups and placed in three military camps.
In other words, each military camp can only fight about 60,000 people!
At this time, if the three countries jointly attack, it will not be difficult to annihilate the Chu family army in one fell swoop!
Although the war had been suppressed by Chu Yingyi, the number of troops they sent was not large. Therefore, the three countries felt that they were simply defeated in terms of numbers.
But they had no idea that all the people on the three battlefields were killed by Chu Yingyi alone, because he killed them all directly, so no one reported the situation.
As for the Chu family army, only a few people that night knew about this matter.
And those few people were afraid that Chu Yingyi's behavior would be spread out, which would lead to bad rumors about Chu Yingyi's brutality and murderousness. Therefore, they all kept the secret silently and did not say a word to the outside world.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, Chu Yingyi is just a little more powerful in martial arts and a little better in fighting.
If there are no soldiers in hand, he is weak and weak, and there is no big deal.
Therefore, after the heads of the three countries received the conditions for claiming compensation, they all chose to remain silent, then communicated with each other, and finally agreed that each country would send 200,000 troops to ban the Chu family's army. Chu Yingyi and the Chu family were bound to be
Annihilate the army together!
As long as the Chu family army is finished, Da Chu will be a paper tiger. Maybe the three countries can directly capture the capital of Da Chu together!
The fantasy of the Lord of the Three Kingdoms was so beautiful that he almost woke up laughing from his sleep, as if victory was already in sight at this moment.
However, at this moment, the Emperor of Chu also received the letter and knew that Chu Yingyi was not dead. He immediately scolded Chu Huan angrily and revoked his right to assist in handling government affairs.
Although the Emperor of Chu really wanted to continue to hold on to Chu Yingyi's previous crimes, he could directly issue a decree to punish him, and finally let him die directly.
However, since the war was calmed down by Chu Yingyi, Chu Yingyi's reputation immediately improved again.
Especially in those areas that were seriously affected by the war, Chu Yingyi's reputation in the hearts of the people was already far higher than that of Emperor Chu.
Because people in war zones know the situation better than people in other places.
At that time, the Chu family army was out of food and had no other choice, so they arranged for people to ask nearby people to borrow food. During that time, some hunters who went up the mountain to hunt also saw the Chu family army going up the mountain to hunt with their own eyes.
It had long been known that the Chu family army was deprived of food by the Emperor of Chu. Those who had some good intentions went directly to investigate and found out that all the people in the Chu family army had plenty of food and fish every day, but the Chu family army had no rice to eat.
When the war broke out, the people of the Chu family's army were driven to the battlefield without enough to eat. The soldiers of the Chu army who had a lot of fish and meat did not care when they saw the people suffering.
Later, Chu Yingyi came to quell the war and sent people to appease the people in the war-torn areas. The rice grains borrowed by the Chu family army at the beginning were doubled and returned to the people.
The previous rumors are still rumors after all, and Chu Yingyi's good reputation after so many years of fighting, especially a mere rumor can be broken?
At this moment, Chu Yingyi benefited the people, and their worship and admiration for Chu Yingyi returned again, and they automatically regarded those rumors as rumors.
What the common people like most is word of mouth. Things in the war zone are quickly spread among the common people.
In ancient times, the spread of this news was very slow, but it only took a month for it to spread to most of Chu, and Chu Yingyi's good reputation came back immediately.
And after learning that 200,000 Chu family troops died tragically, and that all those people tried their best to protect the people and died on the battlefield, this made countless people wet their eyes.
After the war subsided, many people spontaneously prayed for the Chu family soldiers who died.
White wreaths were hung on countless streets and alleys, and people on the streets were all dressed in plain clothes.
With Chu Yingyi's status in the hearts of the people at the moment, Emperor Chu couldn't rashly convict him. Otherwise, wouldn't this be a clear opportunity for people to rebel against him?
There will definitely be some rebellious people who say that he killed loyal people indiscriminately and was cruel and cruel, and in the end he might even induce the people to rebel!
Therefore, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, the King of Chu immediately told the world that all the previous affairs of the King of Chu were framed.
As for the Chu family's army being out of food?
hehe--
The imperial edict stated that the Emperor of Chu paid out military pay on time and in quantity every month. However, because the general who went to assist the Chu family army was jealous of Chu Yingyi and wanted to destroy the Chu family army, he had the grain and grass be transferred to Chu Yingyi.
He robbed them and then ignored the Chu family during the war, also because of jealousy.
The general meaning is that those are the dogs under his command who kept following the orders of the Emperor of Chu and made their own decisions, while the Emperor of Chu was kept in the dark.
In the end, Emperor Chu also said that even if he did not give the order, he was still responsible for the lax jurisdiction, so he sincerely admitted his mistake.
Then, the Emperor of Chu also said that he would go on a vegetarian diet for a month for the Chu family soldiers who sacrificed their lives in vain, and the compassionate allowance paid to their families would be ten times the original amount.
Those generals who made their own claims also took the initiative to admit their mistakes, and even admitted that they framed Chu Yingyi some time ago, and were finally beheaded on the order of the Emperor of Chu.
As soon as this edict came out, Chu Yingyi's reputation was completely cleared, and Emperor Chu could not win the favor of the people.
The reason why Emperor Chu wanted to rehabilitate Chu Yingyi was because he knew Chu Yingyi's abilities too well.
With Chu Yingyi's ability, it is definitely not difficult to find out the truth on his own. When the time comes to find him, the gain will outweigh the loss!
Chu Huan and those who devoured Chu Yingyi's property had to vomit out the good things they had eaten with tears in their eyes.
They knew that if they did not take the initiative to return the property to Prince Chu's Mansion, they would not be able to live without it after Chu Yingyi came back!
After the Emperor of Chu issued the edict, he still did not give up and still wanted to kill Chu Yingyi.
Therefore, after he issued an imperial edict to Chu Yingyi, he sent the reorganized grain to the Chu family army.
At the same time, the Emperor of Chu did not forget to write letters to the other kings of the Three Kingdoms.
The contents of the letter immediately strengthened the leaders of the Three Kingdoms’ belief in sending troops, and made them feel that victory was in sight! (To be continued)
