Chapter 1296 Pyu surrenders

"Meet His Highness the Grandson of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty..."

Under the leadership of General Mi Peng, hundreds of Piao nobles knelt outside the royal city to welcome Li Xiang's arrival.

Although this guy rebelled and achieved certain success, he did not dare to take credit for himself.

Take the final victory as an example. It was not defeated by him and his men, but by the king himself. Because Ogaraba in the south had been occupied, there was no way for the king to retreat, so the king himself had already surrendered. No longer strong enough to resist, he led his palace guards out of the city and surrendered.

If this were not the case, I am afraid that their war would continue. After entering King Piao City, he also tried to attack the imperial city several times, but the result was ultimately unsatisfactory. The only ones who were able to retreat to the imperial city were some elites. , and the imperial city has relatively large reserves. If he continues to fight, according to his own estimation, he can last at least two to three months.

So when I see Li Xiang now, this guy doesn't dare to say how great his contribution is in ending the war quickly. This is because of the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and also because of Li Xiang's strategic planning to deal with such a small country. Li Xiang is already very resourceful. It is better to attack them psychologically than to attack them realistically.

If pushed from north to south, the Tang army can still win, but it will take more time, and the effect will not be very good. If there is any murder, it is very likely that the local people and We have been fighting for decades, even hundreds of years, and this is a very uneconomical thing.

But the psychology of attacking them is different. When all their will to resist is exhausted, we just need to lie down and wait for victory. This is the situation now. After the fall of Ogaraba, the entire Piao Kingdom Thinking that they can still win, no matter what the situation is, even if the gods descend to earth, they may not be able to save Piao.

After His Royal Highness the King's edict was issued, local officials from all over the country surrendered one after another, and led their troops and officials to wait outside the city. The Tang army was unstoppable. In less than half a month, it had already taken control of the Piao Kingdom. major large cities.

In the next three months, Li Xiang will let Li Youqian's men start to move in everywhere. What we controlled before was only the transportation thoroughfares and big cities, and what we need to control next is the entire country.

It went very well at the beginning, because these people all surrendered voluntarily, but it may not be so good in the following time. Some of the remaining people still want to resist. It is useless to persuade you just by talking. You must We have to make them truly surrender, and then we need to use some force.

"The general's ability to abandon darkness and turn to the light early played a big role in the Tang Dynasty's campaign to capture the Pyu Kingdom. I will remember everything in my heart. From now on, I will grant the title of "Piao Kingdom" to the general. The great general who governs the country."

Standing in front of all the nobles, Li Xiang's words can be regarded as letting the general breathe a sigh of relief. After Li Xiang's personal canonization, although he is just a puppet, he has the highest status among everyone, and he will also be able to eat and drink in the future. No worries.

"Thank you for your grace, His Royal Highness."

General Mi Peng kowtowed three times. Some people could tell that this guy's forehead was red. This was mainly because the land was not hard, otherwise he would have to break his scalp to show his loyalty.

The other people who surrendered also received rewards, but of course they were not given that much. At most, they were just honorary titles. As for their original positions, Li Xiang must have robbed them all.

Li Xiang had written to the general before. If there are local officials who can be retained, then all of them will be retained. We are not so unkind. As long as they can help us take care of the whole country, Piao Guo will give them an official. Isn’t it normal to work part-time? You can't just let the horse run without giving it fodder. This doesn't make sense.

But General Mi Peng knows these people too well and can never give them too much power. If he gives them too much power, these people will bring chaos to the entire country, and he still doesn’t know what is going on in these people’s hearts. What are you thinking? If the Zionist Party is included, there will probably be a mutiny in the future.

Therefore, under the persuasion of the general, Li Xiang could only remove everyone's official positions. Of course, the news leaked out inadvertently, and it can be said that the Tang Dynasty writers were pervasive.

Of course, what they said is also true. Our Highness, the Emperor Taisun, is ready to retain your official position and give you a chance to be loyal. However, General Mi Peng thinks this is inappropriate. After all, you are all former ministers of the former dynasty. If you are asked to If it flies too high, it may be difficult to control in the future.

So when the news spread, many people looked at the General differently. You have finally got what you want, and you are still on top. Although you have no family, you have married a lot of wives. If so, you can still have children and grandchildren, after all, you are not very old now.

But as for us people, what’s the use of having an empty name? Salaries can still be paid to them now, but if there are any changes in the future, their group will be the first to be cut off. Only with official positions can they be considered to have real power. No matter what kind of changes occur, they will be able to deal with them. Now The ability to cope is almost zero.

This is what Li Xiang wants to do, to make the people within them hate each other. If the people within you cooperate with each other, then how can Datang control this place?

"It seems that you did not engage in a fierce battle. Wang Gong's preservation is still intact. From today on, this place will become the Protectorate of Piao Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty."

Standing outside the palace, Li Xiang saw that the wall was relatively neat. If there had been any damage, this would have been the most severely damaged, not to mention the well-preserved inside.

"It all depends on His Highness the Grand Sun's orders."

Naturally, General Mi Peng did not dare to have other ideas. When the Protectorate's Palace is established, there will be a Protectorate. He should be the real power here. As for people like himself, then he will actually be the one with the most power. A puppet, what do those people outside have to envy? Am I much better than you? (End of chapter)
