Volume 10 Chapter 332

Chapter 332

The Sichuan and Mozambique armies finally arrived at the coalition camp. The leading troops alone numbered 50,000, all of them Mozambique cavalry. After the cavalry formed a neat queue and the leading general saluted Tang Yin, Yue Ze, Li Xin and Ling Shuang one by one, the front troops behind them also arrived. This is a mixed Sichuan-Mozhi army of more than 100,000 people. Behind it is the Chinese Army, with a total of 400,000 people. Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang are also in the Chinese Army.

When the six kings met and reunited again, the scene was extremely lively. The soldiers of the six countries gathered together, the cheers were deafening, and the dense torches seemed to turn the earth into a sea of ​​​​fire, stretching to the sky and the earth, without any edge.

Xiao Xuan was extremely generous to the armies of Feng, Yu, An, and Huan who captured Xitang first. Except for Lingshuang, he gave each of the three kings of Tang, Yue, and Li a big hug, which expressed his support for them. The kings' longing for each other also showed their sincere gratitude to the armies of the four countries for defeating the enemy first.

Not only Tang Yin, Yue Ze, Li Xin, and Ling Shuang were not surprised by Xiao Xuan's generosity, but even the surrounding soldiers thought it was normal, because Xiao Xuan's reputation was such that he was humble, generous, and a handsome gentleman. , the rare Mingjun Holy Lord.

Amidst the overwhelming roar of the soldiers, the four kings of Tang, Yue, Li, and Ling welcomed Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang into the coalition's central tent. The monarchs of the six countries sat down one after another. Xiao Xuan, as the honorary leader of the alliance, naturally sat in the middle, while the other five kings sat on both sides.

As for the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms, there were too many of them and they could not enter the tent less than a hundred times. There was not such a big place in the Chinese military tent, and there were not so many tables and bedding, so they could only stand on both sides.

Soon, the coalition soldiers came in carrying wine and food, and placed them in front of the six kings. The kings had their guards inspect and pour the wine. Then, Xiao Xuan picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "This is the first glass of wine..."

As soon as he started talking, Yue Ze and Li Xin hurriedly raised their wine glasses and looked at Xiao Xuan eagerly.

When Tang Yin and Ling Shuang saw this, they looked at each other and smiled secretly in their hearts. The two men were really superior in their ability to double-deal. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and it makes sense why Anhuan and Anhuan can have good relations with each other.

Xiao Xuan's face straightened and he continued: "...I respect those soldiers who fought bravely and unfortunately died in the Battle of Defeat Zhen! Although we, the kings, are not saints, we finally did not let the blood of the soldiers be shed in vain. The Zhen Kingdom was finally destroyed by the combined efforts of our six kingdoms, and this time, we should be able to comfort the spirits of the soldiers in heaven!"

His words made all the generals present moved. Even the generals of the Feng Kingdom who had no good impressions of Xiao Xuan nodded secretly. No wonder the Sichuan Kingdom was overbearing and domineering, but Xiao Xuan's reputation has always been excellent. Xiao Xuan's work style It is indeed comprehensive.

Tang Yin, Lingshuang, and Shao Fang also picked up their wine glasses one after another, and said in unison with Yue Ze and Li Xin: "To those fallen soldiers!" As they spoke, the kings took a step back and spilled the wine in their glasses on the ground.

Then, the guards of the kings came forward again to fill their cups with wine. Xiao Xuan picked up the wine glass and said: "For this second glass of wine, I would like to pay homage to Feng, An, Huan, Yu, and the generals of the four kingdoms. If the four king brothers and Wang Mei did not lead the army together, With concerted efforts and sincere cooperation, our six countries will not be able to capture the capital of Zhenguo and destroy the court of Zhenguo so quickly. The four king brothers, the king's sister and the soldiers of the four countries deserve the most credit! "

"Ouch! Brother Xiao Wang is really trying to kill us for saying this!"

"Yes, yes, if Brother Xiao Wang and Brother Shao hadn't held back Zhenguo's main army, our four-nation coalition might not have been able to capture Xitang!"

Yue Ze and Li Xin sang together, showing off their ability to flatter Xiao Xuan.

However, Xiao Xuan did behave like a fair and approachable elder brother at this time. He was not greedy for credit and took the initiative to give his own share of credit to others.

Tang Yin secretly sneered, Xiao Xuan's superficial skills were really beyond the reach of ordinary people. Since everyone wants to say flattering words, then I am the only one who needs to be flattered.

He picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "So, the victory of the Battle of Defeating Zhen is the credit of our six countries, the six kings and the six countries' soldiers. There is no difference between who has greater credit and who has less credit. We have all done our part!”

What he said was like saying nothing, but he received unanimous applause from the kings and generals present. Originally, everyone had climbed over from a life-and-death battlefield. How could it be that Feng, Yu, An, and Huan had the greater credit, while Chuan Mo had less credit? Even if it was Xiao Xuan's humble words, it still made The generals of the Sichuan and Mozambique armies felt uncomfortable. Now that Tang Yin said this, the Sichuan and Mozambique generals felt better.

During the reunion of the six kings and the victorious rendezvous of the armies of the six nations in Xitang, in the first half hour, almost no useful words were said, only nonsense, polite words, mutual flattery and mutual praise.

When all the kings were already drunk, the conversation was gradually brought back to the topic. Yue Ze and Li Xin were very talkative and told Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang the general story of how the Four Nations Allied Forces conquered Xitang.

Although the four-nation coalition's destruction of the city was partly due to luck, it cannot be denied that Tang Yin played an important role in it. Xiao Xuan nodded while listening, and let out a few compliments from time to time, but he was secretly cautious in his heart. Tang Yin was cunning, capricious, and most importantly, he did things in an eclectic way and had no sense of a monarch at all. It is difficult to figure out and make predictions based on one's own preferences and adaptability. This kind of opponent who cannot accurately analyze is the most terrifying enemy.

Xiao Xuan was talking and laughing on the surface, but in his heart, he had begun to promote Fengguo to the position of Zhenguo in his heart - the first biggest rival of Chuanguo in the future!

"I heard that Li Hong has been detained in our army's camp?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"Yes, brother Xiao!" Li Xin replied: "We are also planning to ask you, brother, for your opinion on this matter. Should we escort him to Yancheng and hand him over to the emperor for disposal, or send his head directly to the emperor?"

Xiao Xuan rolled his eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "The journey from Xitang to Yancheng is far away, more than thousands of miles. It will take several months just on the road. What if an accident happens during such a long time? In my opinion, it is better to save the trouble and behead him on the spot and send his head to the emperor. In fact, with Li Hong's crime, even if he is escorted to the emperor alive, he will still be beheaded in the end."

He said it nicely, but he was actually selfish.

Li Hong was escorted to Yancheng, saying that he was handed over to the emperor for disposal, but in fact, it was Tang Yin who was going to deal with him. Sending such an important person to Feng State was ultimately a hidden danger for Chuan State, and would even directly affect Chuan State's occupation of Zhendi.

However, in the eyes of the kings, his words were reasonable, and even Tang Yin did not think as far as he did.

Li Xin said with a smile: "I think what Brother Xiao said is very right. Leaving such a root of trouble, I don't know how much trouble it will bring to Brother Tang along the way. It is better to execute him on the spot."

"Yes!" The kings nodded in agreement, and then looked at Tang Yin to see what he thought.

Tang Yin shrugged indifferently and said: "Since all the kings think that Li Hong should be executed on the spot, then we will do as you all want. Tomorrow at noon, we will execute Li Hong in front of the palace of Zhen State."

"Okay! This time, the six kings will be the supervising officials together!" Xiao Xuan said with a smile.

Yue Ze smiled and said, "Li Hong has a lot of face. He has the monarchs of the six countries as the supervisors. He is the first person from ancient times to now, haha-"

"Haha--" The laughter in the central army tent was loud.

That night, the Chuan and Mo armies were stationed in the camp of the four-nation coalition. Since the camp was built around the city, the space inside was very large. Not to mention accommodating the hundreds of thousands of troops from Chuan and Mo, even accommodating one or two million would be no problem.

There was no talk that night. The next morning, Xiao Xuan got up early and pulled Shao Fang, escorted by a group of guards and generals from Chuan and Mo, to go into Xitang City for inspection.

When passing by the outer city of Xitang, Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang were in a good mood. Just by looking at the appearance of the outer city, they knew that it had not been looted by the four armies of Feng, Yu, An, and Huan. The ground was clean and there was no trace of blood. Wherever they passed, there were chickens crowing and dogs barking, and every household had people and smoke from cooking.

But after entering the gate of Xitang and coming to the inner city, it was clear that this was no longer the capital of a country, but a ruin.

Corpses could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Many people were stripped naked and lying on the streets. Moreover, there were piles of corpses at every street corner. Some of the corpses seemed to have been there for several days, emitting a rotten and foul smell.

Looking at both sides of the street, the doors and windows of every household were broken. Looking inside, it was also a mess, with debris scattered all over the ground.

They walked through half of the city from the gate and walked all the way to the royal palace in the center of Xitang. They did not find a house that was intact and had not been looted. Wherever they looked, there were corpses, half-dead injured people, beggars and children kneeling on the street.

"Too much!" Shao Fang gritted his teeth as he watched, saying, "What the four armies of Feng, Yu, An, and Huan did was really too much!"

He didn't mean the cruelty of the four armies, but that the four armies looted Xitang so cleanly, leaving them nothing.

Xiao Xuan also sighed faintly and said, "It's really too much! Li Hong was wrong, but the people of Zhen are innocent. If such indiscriminate killing spreads, where will the face of our coalition army be? Where will the majesty of the emperor be?"

Shao Fang's old face flushed, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes! So my brother must severely reprimand the four kings Feng, Yu, An, and Huan!" As he spoke, he saw that the palace was close at hand, and he said seriously, "Brother, let's go into the palace and take a look!"
