Become a feudal king from today

Under the red clouds in the evening, the silver armor on the cavalrymen seemed to have flowing fire. Read М

The cavalrymen of the royal palace who were chasing the remaining enemies returned one after another.

They escorted the surrendered Xiliang soldiers to Jincheng.

Now, they were beaming with joy. This battle was fought thoroughly and finally let them vent their anger.

After returning to Jincheng, Chang Wei reported the battle situation to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu was naturally not surprised by the victory of this battle.

After all the training along the way, if his army couldn't even deal with this Xiliang remnant army, then their meal would be in vain.

"Murong Wuji's troops were all destroyed. What to do next, I have already told you, and I will leave it all to you." Zhao Xu said slowly.

Hearing the King of Yan say this, Chang Wei tasted the hidden meaning in his words, "Your Highness is going back to Yancheng?"

"It has been more than two months since we entered Jinzhou. Liu Fu has asked me several times that some difficult government affairs need to be handled by me personally." Zhao Xu said, "There are also three major schools. The students have been idle for more than two months. I am afraid that they will be distracted."

"Didn't Liu Fu brag that he could handle everything? He is just bragging." Chang Wei was dissatisfied.

He really couldn't bear to see the King of Yan leave.

With the King of Yan around, he felt that he had a backbone no matter what decision he made.

Knowing that the King of Yan was leaving, he suddenly felt empty in his heart.

Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly. Since ancient times, civil and military officials have been accustomed to fighting each other.

Liu Fu and Chang Wei are naturally the same.

Liu Fu blamed the royal family's personal army for spending money like water, and always wanted to limit it. He asked Chang Wei several times to submit the details of the expenditure to the government office for review.

And Chang Wei complained that Liu Fu was meddling in other people's affairs, and that the civil officials did not go to the battlefield, and always held them back.

But for Zhao Xu, it should be like this.

If everyone is happy, it will be bad if they try to smooth things over.

"Okay, I know exactly what you are thinking, and I will not cover for you all the time. The next battle is extremely important, no less important than the battle of Jincheng. If you don't fight well, you will lose everything. Don't blame me for turning against you when you come back." Zhao Xu glared at Chang Wei.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei immediately smiled.

When he first met the King of Yan, the King of Yan was both crazy and stupid.

Even after he recovered from his illness, he only had a good impression of the King of Yan at that time, but he was not in awe of him.

Until these battles, he was completely convinced.

Not to mention artillery and flintlock rifles, he was not as good as Yan in the application of these firearms.

In front of the King of Yan, he was just like what the King of Yan often said in the military school, "You are just a younger brother."

"Hehe, Your Highness, don't worry, if you don't fight well, I will cut off my head and use it as a urinal for you." Although he didn't want the King of Yan to go back.

But the order came down, and he had to execute it.

And this time when he went to Tongguan, he might encounter the Northern Di army. It would be safer for the King of Yan to leave Jinzhou.

Zhao Xu smiled, "You'd better keep your head on your neck. This king can't use such a big chamber pot."

After that, he waved his hand and asked Chang Wei to go back and discuss with the generals how to quickly take Tongguan.

Then he asked Xu Lie to prepare and return to Yancheng the next day.

The next morning.

The rising sun was clear and the spring breeze was warm.

Three thousand cavalry had been assembled outside Jincheng.

These were the soldiers who would escort him to Yanzhou.

Although the war was basically over, there were still many remnants of the defeated Xiliang soldiers wandering around Jinzhou.

For his safety, Chang Wei arranged a strong guard of 3,000 people to ensure his safety.

"Your Highness, King of Yan, please stay."

"Your Highness, if you leave, we will have a hard life again."

"Stay, Your Highness."

"..."

After Zhao Xu washed up, he saw many Jinzhou people kneeling at the door as soon as he left the government office.

Some of these people were enslaved by Murong Wuji in the city.

In addition, there were people from the countryside.

After learning that Jincheng was conquered, they rushed into the city to ask for help.

So he asked Chang Wei to set up a porridge shed to give porridge to the people.

"Don't kneel down, please stand up." Faced with the pleas of many people, Zhao Xu showed a helpless look.

After all, Jinzhou is not his fiefdom, even if the Xiliang people are driven away now.

How to deal with Jinzhou is still a game in the court.

But one thing is certain, even if Zhao Heng relies on him now, he can't include Jinzhou in his fiefdom.

Because in this way, he really has the final say in the north.

And this is something that no emperor would allow to happen.

But even so, Jinzhou is close to Yanzhou, and Jinzhou was conquered by him personally.

He will try his best to retain his influence in Jinzhou.

"Your Highness, your reputation in Yanzhou has spread throughout Jinzhou. Only you can make us live a good life." An old man with a haggard face had tears in his eyes. Zhao Xu helped the old man up and sighed, "Jinzhou is not my fiefdom. I cannot do whatever I want here. Please forgive me." After a pause, he continued, "If you really can't survive in Jinzhou, my Yanzhou welcomes you at any time." After Zhao Xu's words, the people all showed disappointment. The King of Yan was telling the truth. He was not the King of Jinzhou and had no right to issue decrees like in Yanzhou.

The old man sighed heavily, and turned to everyone, "Everyone, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan also has his own difficulties, and there are indeed inconveniences, but His Royal Highness is right. If Jinzhou can't survive, you can go to Yanzhou." Everyone nodded. In fact, they didn't have to, they still didn't want to leave their homeland unless they couldn't survive. Now, they still want to stay and see. If it really doesn't work, they will find a way to go to Yanzhou. Thinking of this, they made way for the Prince of Yan. Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes the hospitality of the people is really hard to refuse. But there are some things that he can't control at present. In his view, Zhao Heng is just a tyrant. For his own wealth and throne, he may change his face at any time. Occupying Jinzhou will definitely annoy him and make him suspect that he has the intention of treason. At that time, the powerful families and the powerful families in the world will be very happy to see this. They will definitely cooperate with the court to encircle and suppress him. What's more, he fully believes that these powerful families will encourage Zhao Heng to unite with Beidi and Xiliang to attack him. The powerful families are definitely capable of doing such a thing.

Of course, what he values ​​most is the domestic market of Dasong, so there is no need to lose the big picture for the small.

So even though he wants to satisfy the wishes of the people, he still can't stretch his hand too far at the moment.

One day, when he is strong enough and has the right to speak, it will not be too late to mention this matter.
