If Yu Wenxian ran away with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, then Li Xingchen might be worried, but only two people ran away, and they were two people who had no outstanding achievements and reputation before.
What a storm.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed, and all the aristocratic families that were the foundation of the country have been squeezed out by Yu Wenxian or have defected to the Han Dynasty. Even if these two guys are the sons of Yu Wenyong and Yu Wenxian, where can they get support?
Do they really think that local aristocratic families are willing to take risks?
Or maybe you think that the Xueyantuo people or the Goguryeo people in the distance can provide more help?
Li Xingchen still had confidence in the Han system and its ability to control people's hearts, but he wanted to see what trouble these guys could pull off even if they could really run away.
Yu Wenzhao hurriedly wanted to explain something, but Li Xingchen had already stretched out his hand to support him: "Although King Zhao is a prince, he is able to judge the situation, abandon the dark and turn to the light, and save countless people and the majestic city of Ye. He is really meritorious. He calls himself a common people, but he is a shabby person."
Can’t I reward meritorious officials?”
Yu Wenzhao was startled for a moment, and saw a smile on Li Xingchen's face. It was obvious that he was joking for him. His suddenly beating heart calmed down a little, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: Your Majesty, how can you joke like this?
, aren’t you afraid of scaring people to death? Are you shabby? Even if you give me a hundred courages, I wouldn’t dare!
However, the meaning revealed in Li Xingchen's words also made Yu Wenzhao very happy.
Although it was clearly mentioned in the previous agreement between Yu Wenzhao and the Han Dynasty that after opening the city gate and letting the Han army enter the city, the Han Dynasty wanted to reward Yu Wenzhao based on his merits, so naturally he would not want the prince. A prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had no regard for Yuwen Zhao.
It is not a good thing to recruit, and throwing it away will show his intention to break with the previous dynasty - but other official titles, rewards and the like are always needed.
Yu Wenzhao was not willing to be a rich man in this life, but he also knew that it was better than nothing. Being a rich man with a huge fortune was better than turning all the princes into ordinary people as planned by the previous Han Dynasty.
Strong - lose everything overnight, who would be willing to do so when ensuring that they won't lose their head?
So even though he knew that he might risk his life to open the city gate, but in the end he would only get money, Yu Wenzhao was willing to do it.
Now that Li Xingchen told him that he might also be entrusted with important tasks, Yu Wenzhao was naturally grateful.
Where in the world can I find such a wise master? From now on, I should do my best to serve the great man.
And Li Xingchen then went on to say a few words to Yu Wenxuan and other clan members behind Yu Wenzhao, as well as to the civil and military officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It was nothing more than to encourage people's hearts and show that as long as they did not do any bad things that everyone would punish, they could still obtain the title of "Legend of the Han Dynasty" in the Han Dynasty.
Use it yourself.
After these words, people's hearts were naturally settled, and many people began to express their loyalty on the spot, with the intention of doing everything for the big man.
Although this statement is somewhat true and somewhat false, I am afraid only the person who said it knows clearly, but at least it makes the originally somewhat miserable atmosphere become active and enthusiastic, and everyone still has feelings for themselves.
They are inexplicably excited about a good future - those who have the courage to come here are certainly not people who have done bad things. There cannot be many such guys under Yu Wenxian's command, and they also know that even if Yu Wenxian turns a blind eye,
Turning a blind eye, the big man who is always picky about employing people can no longer let them cause trouble, so there is no need to wait for the big man to come to the door. Some corrupt officials will scatter their wealth, commit suicide at home or flee to the countryside early.
Gone wild.
Therefore, most of those who have the courage to stand here are talented and ambitious officials. On the one hand, they are sending the final journey to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and on the other hand, they also want to have the opportunity to meet His Majesty the Han Dynasty in order to continue to use their abilities.
.
Of course, Li Xingchen didn't mind appointing these people, and many of them were originally famous people from Jizhou and other places. Since they could win some fame in troubled times, they were not in vain.
More importantly, their last master Yu Wenxian was not an incompetent master after all. If it was Yu Wen Yun who sat on the throne, then Li Xingchen would have to weigh it up. Who can be like Yu Wen Yun?
What kind of crooked melons and cracked jujubes, flattering villains.
Therefore, Li Xinchen had to thank Yu Wenxian for at least selecting so many useful talents for him. In addition to these civilian officials being able to continue to hold important local positions, Li Xinchen naturally also had arrangements for the generals headed by Yu Wenzhao and others.
There is still room for them to play in various battlefields such as the northwest and southwest. These places are far away from the basic base of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, it is difficult to call friends and form parties for personal gain. If they work hard, they can still make achievements.
Xu Shanxin led Li Xingchen into the inner city, and the Han army soldiers were already lined up on both sides of the road to guard.
"Your Majesty, the palace city has been captured, and our army is clearing out the remaining enemy troops." Xiao Shilian stood under the city gate and gave instructions. When he saw Li Xinchen coming, he hurriedly stepped forward.
“Yu Wenxian set himself on fire?”
"It should be so. The ruins are being cleaned now. Several of Yu Wenxian's personal servants have been captured to identify the body. According to the captured prisoners, Yu Wenxian entered the ancestral hall on the high platform alone and set fire to himself. He came down from the ancestral hall.
There is only one way in total. Unless he jumps down, someone will definitely know about it, so we can be sure that Yu Wenxian must be in the ancestral hall." Xiao Shilian explained, "In addition, there are indeed two groups of troops breaking through the north gate of the palace city. Outside the city, we
The army has defeated them, but because there were many dead soldiers fighting to the death, and the enemy even used a few armored cavalry, they could not completely annihilate them. They only killed the enemy's Prince Yuwenzhi of Qinghe County, and Cao Cao was still there.
Wang Yuwenyun’s whereabouts are unknown, and it seems he may have run away.”
Li Xingchen nodded. The number of Han troops in the north of the city was not very large to begin with. The enemy had not yet made any move to break through, so he was somewhat lax. In addition, with the armored cavalry breaking through, it was not that easy to resist. It was acceptable to lose one of them.
, as for whether these people are guilty of dereliction of duty, it is not Li Xingchen’s turn to worry about.
"Let's go in and have a look." Li Xingchen continued to ride his horse forward.
The palace gates have also been opened, and the palaces of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are in front of you.
Yu Wenxian only burned the ancestral hall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Obviously he did not want the ancestral hall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the tablets of his ancestors to fall into the hands of the Han Dynasty. Even if Li Xingchen would not do anything humiliating, he might make a fuss about it.
, it is inevitable for newspapers and the like to draw a picture and then publicize it to inspire people.
However, the flames spread with the wind and still enveloped many surrounding palaces. Fortunately, the Han army quickly entered the palace and extinguished the flames. Otherwise, these majestic three towers in Yecheng would have been burned to the ground.
