The Ugly Empress by Yun Guo Shi Fei / 丑娘娘 by 云

Chapter 79, vol 2 Chapter 33: Spoils of War

Zhao Tong was ordered to catch up with the fake Feng state's emperor. When he caught up, he found that it was the original Imperial court official Lu Shi.

Zhao Tong asked people to surround the Imperial court official Lu Shi and said with a smile, “Do you think you can use this little trick to fool the Emperor Xue? I'm afraid Feng Ming has already been caught for a long time!"

Of course, Imperial court official Lu Shi will not be willing to surrender. His purpose was to buy time for Feng Ming to escape. It was a temporary delay.

Zhao Tong saw through his mind at a glance and said: “Do you remember what I told you? I owe you a favor in private. Emperor Xue also thought you were a talent. If you are willing to surrender, I am willing to plead with Emperor Xue. You cannot only die, but also rise."

While sneering the Imperial court official Lu Shi said, “I'll call Emperor Feng to promote you, OK?"

Zhao Tong said with a cold face, “A scholar is nitpicking."

It's said that with a wave of stops, the soldiers will rush up. Imperial court official Lu Shi is a literati who can't do Kung Fu at all. Zhao Tong naturally tied him up easily.

The Imperial court official Lu Shi said, “If you really think you owe me a favor, then let me die happily."

Zhao Tong was silent for a while and then said, “I don't want to kill you."

Then let the soldiers take the Imperial court official Lu Shi back.

Xue Jun Liang captured the Imperial city and captured Feng Ming. Naturally, no one could hold on to the whole Feng state. After half a month, he was ready to raise his army back to the Xue State’s capital.

Although it's a good thing to return to the capital, they still need to discuss how to deal with the captives and manage the Feng state after taking the Feng state.

The Feng state army is more than a few thousand. These people have become captives. There are two ways to deal with captives. The first is to kill, and the second is to conscript.

Killing the prisoners is undoubtedly the easiest way. They need to eat, drink water and consume food. They are also likely to rebel. But the number of prisoners is too large. If they kill them rashly, they will certainly cause public anger, and the image of Emperor Xue will not be good.

Teng Yun said: “His majesty is determined not to kill the captives. Killing the captives in vain will lead to the resistance of the people. At that time, there will be bad pressure on the town and the people. If you want to use the soft plan again, the people will be afraid. It will be more difficult."

Lang Jing said: “The Marquis of Tengnan is reasonable. At present, it is imperative to return to the Imperial capital. The Emperor has been out of the Imperial capital for a long time, so he must return to the Imperial capital to deal with affairs. In addition, he also needs to send troops to guard the territory, appease the people and suppress the remaining forces of Emperor Feng."

Xue Jun Liang nodded and said with a smile, “Then you say, who is suitable to stay in Feng State?"

As soon as he said this, all the people were silent. It seemed that they were thinking. Xue Jun Liang said, “Well, who was the first leader to set foot on the frontier, let him stay to guard it."

As soon as his voice fell, Xue Yu looked up sharply to see Xue Jun Liang, with an unbelievable face.

Xue Jun Liang also looked at Xue Yu and said with a smile, “Why, don't you want to? Also, Feng state has just passed through the war, and needs to recuperate, which is not a small thing."
