My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 358: Fighting with Su Chen, more and more women fight

Listening to these cold words, Qi Qingbao nodded and did not dare to make any other complaints.

But he still couldn't help it, and he begged tentatively: "Your Majesty, then...then my great-grandson...doesn't your Majesty need to punish you?"

"As a child, if you don't know what adults do, it won't be difficult for me. I will leave it to you to raise. Don't raise heirs like Qi Wangge and Qi Ke'an."

For Su Chen to do this, he had already given the greatest preferential treatment. After all, the war was an enemy country. The soldiers needed to give an explanation for the fight.

Qi Qingbao played the role of surrendering to the Xia Kingdom in this whole matter, and he had a good relationship with Wang Huaiyi, so the old man had to be removed from it, and the roots of the Qi family had to be left alive by others.

As an emperor, rewards are rewards and punishments are punishments. You must keep the water level, not only to convince people, but also to show it to the world.

"Then become the Marquis of Gucheng in Lingzhou and live in a town with [-] households. After you pick up your great-grandson, you can go to Lingzhou."

"Thank you for your gift!" Qi Qingbao finally had some sparkle in his eyes. He originally wanted to ask Qi Wangge, his father and his son, and his old wife Zhao Zhuangyi how to deal with it, but when he met Su Chen's eyes, there was an icy chill in his eyes, he said Swallow it back into your stomach.

He exhaled and cupped his hands: "I, Qi Qingbao, will take my leave first."

"Go." Su Chen nodded with a smile, watched the old man leave, walked out of the handsome tent, turned around and walked back to the long desk, raised his hand: "Let the Qi family, father and son, and Zhao Zhuangyi come in."

Outside, Qi Qingbao walked out of the handsome tent and saw his son, grandson, and old wife. Even though the trouble had reached this point, after all, it was the close relative who held his hands in tears and bowed his hands to his son, grandson, and old wife. This farewell, I'm afraid this It will be difficult to see each other again in this life.

He lowered his hands silently, without leaving a word, then turned around and asked a soldier to lead the way, went to pick up his great-grandson, and left the military camp in a carriage heading north.

On the side of the handsome tent, Qi Ke'an quietly pulled down his father's sleeve. When his father turned his head to look at him, he spoke and whispered: "Grandpa is fine, and we will be fine too, right, father?"

Qi Wangge was an adult after all. Although he hoped that everything would be fine as his son said, the reality was that he might not be so lucky. He just didn't want to scare Qi Ke'an, so he tried his best to smile.

"Hey, you three, stop mumbling." Xu Chu glanced at the three of them sideways, waved his hand angrily, and said impatiently: "Your Majesty calls you in!"

Qi Wangge nodded hurriedly, supported his mother Zhao Zhuangyi, and carefully and slowly walked past the fat man into the tent with his son Qi Ke'an.

What came into view were the military generals sitting on both sides, turning their heads to look at them. When they saw Su Chen above them, Qi Wangge and Qi Ke'an knelt down in panic: "The guilty minister pays homage to your majesty."

But Zhao Zhuangyi stood there motionless, turning his old face away.

"You two," Su Chen said in a calm voice. He blew on the tea stem floating in the tea cup, took a sip, and looked at Qi Wangge and Zhao Zhuangyi who were kneeling on the ground.

"Have you ever thought about killing my envoy today?"

"Think..." Qi Wangge nodded hurriedly, and after realizing it, he quickly shook his head: "...I didn't think about it... Did your majesty, the guilty minister, think about it or not?"

Ha ha!

All the generals in the tent laughed.

Su Chen also smiled. He put the tea cup back on the table. When he raised his eyes again, his eyes were completely cold.

"If you usurp the throne, you will usurp the throne. What's the point of having trouble with my envoy? Do you know that I value him very much?"

"Just die, what do you want?!"

Zhao Zhuangyi had a very bad temper. Since childhood, others had been respectful to him and did not dare to disobey her in the slightest. During the decades after she was married to Qi State, even her husband, who was the emperor, did not dare to disobey her.

Facing Su Chen, who was only 21 years old at this time, made her feel extremely uncomfortable. But being in jail, she could only live with her mouth. However, the next moment, the old woman was directly slapped by Zhang Yi who stood up. He fell to the ground, his gray hair was instantly messed up, his mouth and nose were covered in blood, and a few of his few teeth also popped out.

"Mother..." Qi Wangge knelt and turned around to check on his mother.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Qi Ke'an, who had been trembling, was frightened by this. He knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed to Su Chen, "Please have mercy and spare our lives!"

"Your Majesty!" Qi Wangge followed and kowtowed on the ground.

Su Chen smiled at them and raised his hand towards Zhang Yi. He went over to pick up the old woman on the ground and forced her to kneel down.

"Kill you? I'm afraid that the knife will be stained, and death... it will be too easy for you."

The old woman's face was covered in blood and she stared at Su Chen timidly. The slap just brought her back to reality.

Su Chen stood up from the chair, "You and the three of you will be demoted to common people and moved to the Washing Department of the Xia Palace. You will never leave the palace!"

The father and son of the Qi family, as well as the old woman, were originally afraid of death, but Zhao Zhuangyi was immediately stunned when they heard that they would move to the north and be slaves forever, washing clothes for maids, and continuing to kowtow and beg for mercy. This was more painful than killing her with a knife.

"Emperor Xia... I am a member of the Wei clan, and my sister is still..."

"Soon your sister will be here to keep you company."

Su Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense to them. The personal guards outside the tent came in and dragged the three people outside. After the wailing and begging for mercy gradually disappeared, the civil and military personnel of Qi State came next, but only Yang Qi and a few leading generals were allowed in. account.

After some beatings and some comforting words about good birds choosing a tree to roost, they were sent outside to wait.

"Wenyou."

Jia Xu, who was sitting in the front row, received Su Chen's signal. He went over to sit next to Li Ru and whispered: "The royal family of Qi is entrusted to you." "Yes." Li Ru twisted the tip of his chin. After smiling, he stood up and followed him out of the tent.

After there were no outsiders in the tent, Su Chen removed the indifference on his face and smiled: "I don't intend to bury those concubines in the harem or sell them into slavery at a low price. You generals also know that I am a descendant. After all, I have a soft heart towards women.",

There was a pause in the words.

"... Then I will give them all to the generals and leave them to you to settle down. Spread more branches and leaves! Forget it, General Dian."

"Ah?" Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, "Why didn't I?"

"These women are too petite. I'm afraid... they will all be gone in one night. I'll find you someone bigger!"

Dian Wei came to his senses, nodded sharply, and gestured with his hands: "Your Majesty knows Lao Dian so well, I want someone with big shoulders and a round waist!"

The generals below had no idea at all, but when Dian Wei made this gesture and said these words with that ferocious expression, they burst into laughter.

Dong Zhuo stroked his thick beard thoughtfully: "General Dian's taste... is somewhat unique!"

Zhao Yun also giggled on the side, and then Ma Yunlu hit his waist with his elbow and whispered: "You are not allowed to take it!"

"Well, I don't want it for my husband!"

Li Jue, who was not far away, stood up, looking like a horse thief, "In the past, I fought with my lord and earned officials, gold and silver. Now I fight with your majesty and beat the mother-in-law at home." There are more and more.”

Xiang Yu was a little confused when he heard it, but he was too embarrassed to ask. Lu Bu beside him explained in a low voice, and then talked about the concubines of the emperors of Yan and Wei in those days. They were all rewarded to the army generals, but none of them were given to him. Not to stay.

"Wang Wang, will you also pick out some warm blankets later?"

Xiang Yu couldn't help but admire Su Chen's heroic move. As for picking up a few women, he had no interest in it. At the moment, he just wanted to get an official position so that his former subordinates and Yu Ji could come back.

He waved his hand and rejected Lu Bu's proposal.

"Just one Yu Ji is enough. By the way, Dong Zhuo said before, you also have a Diao Chan?"

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I just want my wife to come, and I don't want to do anything else."

"Everyone!" Su Chen walked out of the long desk: "Now that the capital of Qi has been captured, it's time for us to go to the Imperial Palace of Qi to take a look, move out all the treasures from the emperor's treasury, reward the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and give them three days' leave. Enjoy yourself in the city.”

The reason for this is that after defeating the Qi State, they will move to the upper reaches of the Hun River and attack the southern part of the Liang State. At that time, they will join Ma Chao's cavalry and form a north-south pincer attack with Guan Yu and Xia Houyuan's West Route Army!

Before setting off, it is natural for the military officers to take a good rest, whether they go to a brothel or get drunk.

After saying that, Su Chen strode out of the commander's tent. The military generals on both sides stood up and followed him out. They mounted the horses that followed them and led the Huwei and Shenji battalions of their respective bodyguards and archguards out of the gate to Xin. Xiang Zhuri Gate.

The civil and military forces of Qi State who left first, because they came on foot before, naturally went back on foot. Yang Qi walked behind the team. There was a middle-aged scribe beside him, twirling his long beard as if to say something to him. What. ,

The face of this former prime minister of Qi State, who had experienced political affairs, turned pale.

"The State of Qi has been in existence for more than 200 years. There are as many as [-] clans, of which [-] are direct and collateral descendants in the capital... These are the root of unrest. Your Majesty has won the kingdom of Qi, and it is your duty to take care of all the people. This land does not want to see war again."

Li Ru squinted his eyes, with a faint cold light in his eyes, and said softly: "But your Majesty has just conquered the land, and the people's hearts have not yet returned. If you get your hands dirty, it will be very inconvenient for governance. Do you... understand?"

"Three...more than 3000 people...how does this make..."

"Haha... It's too easy to leave quietly." Li Ru hooked his hand and asked Yang Qi to get closer, and then whispered in the other person's ear: "Some of them poisoned the family... Some moved out of the city... Half the way Let the 'robbers' intercept and kill them. As long as the news doesn't spread around, you can do whatever you want."

Seeing that he was still hesitant, Li Ru put his hands in his sleeves and looked ahead.

"You have to think carefully whether you want to die for the clan of Qi State or for your own family. You have kidnapped the emperor to sacrifice your city and country, and you are stained with stains. No emperor in this world dares to use you. Besides, there will only be one country and one emperor in this world from now on." .”

Yang Qi pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and raised his hands towards Li Ru.

"Mr. Xie taught me that Qi and other civil and military officials will definitely share the worries of His Majesty in this matter!"

A long dragon-like procession stood tall with flags, spreading smoke and dust to Xinxiang, the capital of Qi State.

Soon after, the Qi State's flag at the top of the city was lowered and the Xia State's black and white dragon flag was raised!
……

The cold wind blew a steady drizzle.

In the wilderness more than 70 miles away from Xinxiang, the land was extremely muddy. People were still fleeing to escape the fighting. The cavalry from the nearby county government were catching up behind them, shouting at them that the war was over and they could go back. The words of returning home and continuing to take care of the farm work.

Among the bustling crowds, there is also a lone retrograde figure, wearing a brown robe, with white hair and beard, clean and tidy, and incompatible with the surrounding refugees.

With an extra air of wind-immortal Taoism, he murmured something while listening to the roar of the fast horse in the distance.

"The Emperor of Xia moved so quickly...just in time to meet him."

His figure seemed to be insubstantial, and he moved forward smoothly among the crowd. With one step, his figure passed ten feet. In an hour, he saw the big city of Xinxiang and the Xia State flag hanging at the top of the city.
