Chapter 45: After Victory

Xiao Yan and a group of people stood on the head of the city, looking at the two raging fires outside the city and saying something. Even the recent people couldn't hear him, but the people next to him look at him strangely. I want to ask, but when I see his pious look, I can't bear to interrupt him.

The two piles of fire outside the city are the bodies of Jin people and Jiankang soldiers and civilians. The fire burned for an afternoon. Xiao Yan and others sat in the council hall of Jiankang City and seemed to smell the smell of blood and fishy smell. After knowing that the people reported that the outside of the city had been cleaned up, Xiao Yan seemed to have a flash of fire in front of him.

" boss, what did you say on the wall just now?" Feilong's words suddenly pulled Xiao Yan's thoughts back.

Ah. Ah, that, that." Xiao Yan hesitated and didn't react. Just now, Xiao Yan stood on the tower and said, "You are also killed in the line of duty. I was killed in the line of duty. Although it's not good, it's okay. I hope you all wear a good society and live a good life. Your death is not my intention. It can only be blamed by the bastard Emperor Jin. If you have nothing to fight, God bless you, these poor people. Amen!"

" boss, are you all right?" Seeing the soulless Xiao Yan, Feilong asked again.

"I gave them some rebirth spells at that time." Xiao Yan made an excuse, regardless of whether they believed it or not, and looked at the fat dragon and asked, "Yesterday, what was the result? How much did they run for him?"

Yesterday, Feilong ambushed by the river, took the opportunity to block the golden soldiers who drove the boat north to withdraw. It's a pity that there are too few people who can drive the boat. Before they can meet the battle, they have already run away and can't catch up. The fat dragon scolded in the bow of the boat. The golden dog of the bitch ran too fast to get out of it. Fat Dragon said a little depressed.

Everyone comforted him, and the fat fish said, " boss, there are still more than 20,000 golden soldiers in the ditch outside the city gate. These people consume a lot of food a day. What should they do?"

In fact, many people have considered this problem. So many people can't be killed, and they can't be released. Let's not talk about whether there is such a big place. Even if there is, the consumption of that day is a huge amount. At that time, everyone was very happy when they were captured, but now it has become the biggest burden. Xiao Yan has thought about it countless times, but none of the methods can work. What a headache!

"Big guy, look at those prisoners, what should they do?" Xiao Yan asked.

There are more than 50 people sitting in the hall. In addition to Xiao Yan's arrival, Jiankang's large and small officials also came in addition to some other affairs. This kind of situation is a great victory over foreigners. Since Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, it has been rare. How can these people not come? Besides, in this case, it is generally about the reward of merit, who can't come?

Even those who can't come will probably delay one or two to help. Don't leave your credit behind. That's true that there will be no shop after passing this village, and I want to cry without tears.

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, most people, especially some officials of Jiankang, should not say it at this time. That's right, it may be better. At that time, add another credit book. In case the idea is bad, maybe the little credit and hard work for so many days will be gone, and it will have a faint reputation. Let's make a fortune.

Although Zhang Xian was a guest general, Xiao Yan still invited him to come with him. Seeing that Xiao Yan asked several times, only the people led by Xiao Yan paid a few attention, but it was not a good idea. At this time, he saw Xiao Yan looking at himself, so he got up and said, "General Xiao, Marshal Yue has also dealt with the prisoners before, but there are only a few hundred people at most, just exchanging prisoners with each other or imprisoned them. Keep it for exchange in the future. If you encounter an unruly one, it will be straightforward.

took a look at Xiao Yan's concentrated look and couldn't help smiling and continued, "General Xiao, there are more than 20,000 people at once. The last general really can't think of any proper way."

After Zhang Xian finished speaking, Xiao Yan was still absorbed as if he had listened to him again. Zhang Xian reminded him, "General Xiao, the last general..."

"Oh, General Zhang said it very well." Xiao Yan seemed to have no reaction and said in a coping tone.

Zhang Xian thought that Xiao Yan was worried about this matter, and he didn't care about his response. He punched and sat down.

Xiao Yan is really not distracted or coping. Although Zhang Xian didn't have an idea, he reminded him to exchange! If you go to tell the Jinren, I am willing to return your 20,000 cavalry to you. Let's talk about the price. Wanyan Zongbi will be happy to death. As for how to change it, it needs to be well planned. The general direction was set, and the biggest stone in Xiao Yan's heart fell to the ground, and he was refreshed. He looked up at these people present, either looking at their noses or noses. In addition, he has a sad face and a bitter look of thinking.

With a smile, Xiao Yan joked, "Dear brothers, brothers! Why do you still look sad after winning the battle?"

Lu Chen saw Xiao Yan and asked with a smile. Although he didn't know why Xiao Yan, who was still worried just now, became like this in the blink of an eye, laughing was better than crying, so the people present also smiled apologetically and said, "This is the list here thinking about how to solve the prisoner's problem, thinking about how to solve this prisoner's problem, thinking about how to be for Xiao General Let's share it." Taking everyone to explain for himself, he not only answered Xiao Yan's question, but also cleverly took his people out of this question.

Then he said, "General Xiao, this Jiankang has been guarded. Looking at this situation, the Jin people will not be able to invade the south again for a while. This time, thanks to General Xiao and his brothers, leading us to fight hard to defend Jiankang. I will definitely go back to the imperial court to vigorously commend and commend the people.

Xiao Yan sat there and saw Lu Chen say this, and the officials of Jiankang suddenly became energetic and echoed Lu Chen's words. Xiao Yan knew what Lu Chen meant. The battle was over and it was a complete victory. In the end, it's easy to talk about merit and reward.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "It's a great contribution to being able to repel the golden soldiers and defend Jiankang." Looking at the more excited Jiankang officials, he continued, "Xiao and all the brothers are Baiding. Do you want this credit? Lord Lu and all the adults will report on their own. When the court sends people to take over Jiankang's defense, then Xiao will return to Dongting.

After listening to Xiao Yan's words, the officials present were overjoyed, and this credit could not run away. After listening to Xiao Yan's words, he immediately bombarded. They got up one after another and talked about Xiao Yan's credit and persuading Xiao Yan. Although Xiao Yan can't hear where he sat, he still knows what he means. First, these people are talking about Xiao Yan's credit, and second, they try their best to persuade Xiao Yan to stay. In addition, Jiankang can't live without you. We can't live without you...

"Gentlemen." Lu Chen coughed and came to the middle of the hall with a fist and said, "General Xiao, for the country and the people. Although I am not a court official, I am deeply ashamed of what I have done for the country and the people. Although this sentence is a little suspected of flattery, it is also a fact. As soon as Lu Chen's voice fell, someone echoed.

Lu Chen moved a few more steps and said slowly, "General Xiao, don't fight for fame and fortune, this is his high righteousness. But let alone fame and fortune, this time without General Xiao, I would be afraid of my life. If you surrender to Jin, your life will be saved. But not to mention the destruction of his famous name, he will have no face to see his ancestors under the nine springs in the future!" Saying that this was not only Lu Chen that touched the sad heart, and the voice was a little choked.

He heard intermittent convulsions in the hall. Although Xiao Yan knew that these people were masters of acting, he was a little moved to hear Lu Chen's words. He got up and bowed and said, "How can Xiao Yan and He De make you admire you so much?"

At this time, there was a sound of firecrackers outside. From last night to now, some well-informed people have known the news of the defeat of Jin Bing, and the sound of firecrackers has not stopped. There are also some suburbs who recommend some old and young people, and they have to visit Xiao Yan on behalf of their neighbors and parents early in the morning. It was hard to persuade him to go back.

Lu Chen heard the firecracker god in the city raise his voice and said, "Did you hear that? What is this? This is not just a few firecrackers, this is public opinion! The people of Jiankang are eager for a stable life! Who gave you this stable life? It's General Xiao Yanxiao. The sound of firecrackers contains the gratitude and friendship of Jiankang soldiers and civilians!"

When Xiao Yan heard this, he thought, " Stop, this is a way for ordinary people to express their joy. It's okay to say that they are a little grateful, but they don't have to rise to the high angle of public opinion!" It's high!"

I can't let him talk any more. If we go on, I don't know what will happen. It's so difficult to return to Dongting safely for a few days to live a comfortable life! Xiao Yan really doesn't want to be involved in the days of cheating all day in the officialdom. He sighed secretly and had to stand up with a smile and look sincere.

"Xiao Yan is just a little close to the power. How can the road lead people and adults say so." Xiao Yan held his fist at the people present and continued, "Let's not talk about this topic today. Let's talk about this matter after I discuss it with all my brothers. What do you think, Lord Lu?

"All right." Lu Chen knew that he should not force Xiao Yan away all of a sudden and nodded and replied.

"As for the commendation of meritorious personnel this time, Lord Lu is fully responsible for the affairs of Lord Lu." Xiao Yan suddenly changed the topic and said, "I have thought about the 20,000 gold soldiers captured. General Zhang Xian was right just now. Let's exchange with the Jin people."

Xiao Yan's words suddenly transferred everyone from Xiao Yan's departure and retention to the captives. And give you a question mark.

"You know, the golden cavalry is elite, but it is not so easy to train an elite cavalry. If we spread the news that these 20,000 people are not dead, we are willing to exchange with the golden cavalry. What do you think will happen? Xiao Yan said.

Although Wen Chen was deeply touched by the toughness of the golden soldiers' cavalry, he was far less than the significance of the general to the cavalry. Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yang Zaixing and Zhang Xian first stood up and said, "It's impossible for the tiger to return to the mountain."

Xiao Yan smiled and motioned them to sit down, "Let them back and wait for them to turn around and hit us." How much does this cost? It's also a loss and can't be done. However, no one has thought that people can let them go back alive, but there is always a way for him not to ride horses or go to the battlefield in the future!"

At this time, someone asked, "This method is very good, killing two birds with one stone, but what can the golden man do?"

"Don't let him know that it's over." Xiao Yan said lightly, "How can he not know? I think you are all connominators, so you don't need me to teach you."

There was a burst of laughter. The most basic thing for an official is to make the black one white and the wrong one right. It is even more compulsory to deceive the top and the bottom. Everyone is tacit.

The man asked again, "What is the golden man exchanged for?"

"Is there such a good thing to bring people to beat us and take care of food and drink when they are captured? Xiao Yan raised his voice and asked. Seeing everyone laughing and saying in unison, "I don't want to."

"That's not the end." Xiao Yan also replied with a smile, "Accommodation and food expenses should not be asked. The lion will open his mouth, even if he can't, he will ask for money to die. In a word, people can give it to them, but they must bleed heavily and make them feel pain.

Speaking of this, if you don't understand, it's better not to fool around and go home to hug the child.
