After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 287 Dilemma
Song Jinggong did not expect that at this time, Xiang Yu would suddenly flee. The Han army got a lot of money and food and led the troops back. As a result, the Lu army came with a large army at this time, which filled his heart with despair. .

Under such circumstances, staying in Shangqiu was waiting for death, so Song Jinggong chose to go to Jin without hesitation. It didn't matter if he left, the entire Shangqiu city would lose its backbone.

Under the attack of the Lu army, Shangqiu fell within three days. Le Xuan, who was in the prison at this time, heard the news, heaved a long sigh, said nothing, and hanged himself in the prison. .

After Chen Yin was released, Uncle Sun Wuji, who knew the cause and effect of the incident, admired him very much and wanted to persuade him to surrender, but was rejected. Chen Yin asked himself to die, but Uncle Sun Wuji had no choice but to agree.

In the end, he ordered Le Xuan to be buried outside Shangqiu City with the ceremony of Doctor Qing. Next to him is Chen Yin's cemetery, which can be regarded as allowing the pair of master and servant to stay together for a long time.

At this time, Huangye, who was leading troops to resist the Zhengguo army, was terrified after receiving the news. Under such circumstances, only the entire Song Kingdom was left. His army was still stubbornly resisting, but the ending was not Already doomed.

Under such circumstances, Huang Ye had only three options. The first was to flee directly regardless of these soldiers, because under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to lead an army across the land of Zheng State or the land of Wei State into the Jin country to go.

The reason is very simple. There is not enough food. The second option is to surrender. But for a long time, the relationship between Song people and Zheng and Lu has been very bad. This time Han took the lead to attack Song with other two countries.

Therefore, Huang Ye had a bad impression of the Han Kingdom. He could not surrender and could not make up his mind. I am afraid that there was only one last option left, which was to continue fighting.

Under such circumstances, Huang Ye seemed rather hesitant, and at this time his favorite son, Huang Feiwo, suggested.

"Under such circumstances, father has fallen into a desperate situation. If he doesn't think of a way, the final result will be that our royal family will perish from now on."

This sentence hit Huangye's mind, the reason why he hesitated was because he was worried about the future of the Huang family, so he said.

"But what can we do now? Now that the Kingdom of Wei and the Kingdom of Jin are fighting against each other, it is impossible for us to go to the Kingdom of Jin through the Kingdom of Wei at this time. Could it be that we are going to seek refuge with barbarians like Chu and Wu?"

Huang Fei I shook my head when I heard this, and he spoke with great meaning.

"Whoever surrenders mainly depends on what will be the most beneficial for our emperor in the future. Zheng Guo was severely injured after being defeated by Zhao Jianzi last time. Once the Jin Kingdom returns to calm in the future, Zheng Guo and Wei Guo will be the first to deal with it." .”

"And the state of Lu is sandwiched between the state of Han and the state of Qi, and there is no future for swinging left and right. Looking at the world today, the Marquis of Han can be regarded as a wise king. If we invest in the Marquis of Han at this time, our royal family will be able to prosper in the future gone."

Huang Ye knew his son very well, he didn't have such vision and insight, so he frowned and asked.

"Who taught you this? It doesn't seem like you can tell the truth. Could it be that your Korean friends have already contacted you? Or is there someone among the imperial family's retainers who wants to surrender to Han?"

For such a question, Huang Fei, I am not nervous, he answered honestly.

"Some time ago, someone from the Han Kingdom came to contact with his son and said that the Song Kingdom would surely perish this time. At that time, I thought he was just scaremongering, and he didn't take it seriously at all."

"It's just that I didn't expect that the result was the same as what this person said. Shangqiu was breached by the Lu army in such a short period of time. Even an ordinary Korean can see such an ending. From this, it can be seen that Han is definitely the best. choose."

After hearing this, Huangye almost laughed angrily. He could guess without thinking that his son must have received a lot of benefits, so he tried his best to encourage him to surrender to Han.

However, he also listened to what he said just now, and it was indeed very reasonable. Among other things, Meng Di was able to lead the cavalry to victory in the two coalition forces of the princes to conquer the Jin State. It is the mainstream in the future.

And this time, Meng Di faced Xiang Chao and won easily. Such a result made Huang Ye realize that the future Han State is likely to become a powerful vassal state. Since it is a surrender, it is natural to choose the strongest one .

After making up his mind, Huang Ye didn't hesitate at all, and directly led his troops to retreat, heading towards Xiao County all the way.

Now that the battle of the Song Dynasty is basically over, Meng Di directly led his troops to station in Xiao County to join Yanghu. The next step is to receive the population. This time, Meng Di personally sits in the town. It's easy to go wrong.

Fortunately, Xiao County hoarded a large amount of grain. Every time a thousand households were collected, Mengdi would send cavalry to escort them to Huaicheng, and at the same time provide mules, horses and carriages to help them transport some old people, children or belongings.

Although this is a little slow, the effect is surprisingly good. You must know that many people will die when they migrate these years. The most important reason is that the escorting army treats these people like prisoners.

Now that the army of the Han State is doing this, at least these people have a sliver of comfort and hope in their hearts. For this reason, Meng Di specially called Shi Huang and Yu Rang over, and told them face to face.

"You are responsible for the entire escort process. If you find someone who has escaped, you will be treated as a prisoner after you are caught. As for the rest of the people, you must try your best to meet their requirements. It is best not to die."

"After all, they will all be citizens of our Han country in the future. Treating them better at this time will also allow them to integrate into the Han country faster. This will speed up the development of the Huaiyi land, and the management will be easier. Much simpler."

"So don't cause unnecessary friction at this time. If there are soldiers in the army who oppress the people without reason or rob the people of their land, wives and daughters, they will be severely punished!"

When Emperor Shi heard this, surprise appeared in his eyes, and he said in a puzzled way.

"My lord, if you punish your soldiers because of these people, I'm afraid it will lower morale, which is not a good thing for our army."
