The weather in January rarely snows. From time to time, the warm winter sun shines. Although it is still cold, it is much better without the heavy snow.
The more diligent people are already busy with spring plowing and making preparations in advance.
Wang Qi is still stationed in Pengcheng County.
After all, Zhang Yu has many things to deal with when he is in office, and Wang Qi needs to sort out all the matters before he can go north. Wang Qi now lives in the military camp. After all, the Prime Minister's Mansion is Zhang Yu's residence.
Inside the Chinese army¡¯s tent.
Wang Qi is currently looking at the local situation in Pengcheng Kingdom.
Pengcheng State is a small area with many mountains and rivers. It does not have the advantage of being close to the sea in Donghai County, so it lacks a foundation for development. But what needs to be done now is mainly to develop farming and stabilize the situation.
While Wang Qi was looking through the information, Zhuge Feng and Zhou Zishan entered hand in hand.
The two of them now have a very good relationship.
After all, they are all wise men.
The two have many common topics and discuss many matters together.
Zhuge Feng and Zhou Zishan entered, and after saluting Wang Qi, Zhuge Feng said: "Second brother, the military advisor and I are here to take prisoners. We have almost captured the entire Pengcheng Kingdom, and Donghai County is also under our control. I have discussed with the military advisor that Chen Yan's prisoners should be released. For us, releasing this group of people will actually help us."
Wang Qidao: "What do you mean?"
Zhuge Feng nodded towards Zhou Zishan and signaled Zhou Zishan to say.
Zhou Zishan smiled and said, "That's what Zhuge Changshi said."
Zhuge Feng did not refuse, and took advantage of the situation and said: "The military advisor and I agree that many of these prisoners have actually been impressed by us and are afraid of us."
"There are even many people who yearn for our Langya Kingdom and wish to work under our command. Therefore, for such a group of people, we do not need to surrender, and many people will be shaken."
"Putting them back will publicize the power of our country, Langya, and shake Chen Yan's prestige."
"When we destroy Lu Shengqi in Qingzhou and deal with Chen Yan next, when these soldiers encounter us surrendering, at least their combat effectiveness will be weakened, and they may even be directly instigated by us to surrender."
Zhuge Feng said: "This step is to prepare for the next step."
Zhou Zishan echoed: "Lord, we are about to start a war with Lu Shengqi. It is very important to stabilize Chen Yan. Releasing the army back is enough to temporarily stabilize Lu Shengqi."
After Wang Qi heard this, he also thought about it.
Chen Yan¡¯s main concern is stability.
In the short term, it should be impossible to start a war with Wang Qi again. After all, Kong Si is still there to support him.
Wang Qi thought for a while and said: "Since we want to release the prisoners, let's release them. Before leaving, I will talk to them first and build some relationships, which will help us capture Xuzhou in the future."
"My lord is wise!"
Zhou Zishan and Zhuge Feng answered in unison.
Wang Qi stood up, led Zhou Zishan and Zhuge Feng out of the camp, found Xiao Qingzhi, and asked Xiao Qingzhi to take out all the prisoners in custody. More than 20,000 prisoners were all in the army and were taken with them on the journey.
What Wang Qi¡¯s officers and soldiers ate, the prisoners also ate.
From beginning to end, no prisoner was treated harshly. It was precisely for this reason that many of the soldiers under Chen Yan's command had the intention of surrendering to Wang Qi.
It didn¡¯t take long, and all the prisoners formed an army array.
Each of the prisoners looked rosy.
Even in this cold weather, they were never short of clothes. All of them were wearing thick clothes, and when most of the soldiers looked at Wang Qi, they had a hint of gratitude in their eyes.
Wang Qi never abused them.
Everyone was talking in a hurry. Although their voices were very small, there were too many people. More than 20,000 people were talking in low voices, which made the voices buzz like a noisy vegetable market.
"Quiet!"
Wang Qi stepped forward and shouted.
With an order, everyone fell silent.
In the school grounds, there was silence, there was no sound, and no one spoke anymore. Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Qi.
Wang Qi mentioned it in one breath and shouted: "Soldiers, Mo Bao died, and Xu Youdao took you to submit. You have also had some time since you submitted. According to the agreement between me and Chen Yan, Chen Yan took Donghai County and Pengcheng Kingdom. Cede it to me and I will release you.¡±
"Now I have control of the East China Sea, Pengcheng Kingdom, so according to the agreement, it is time to release you. "
"Let you return to Xiapi, Xuzhou."
Wang Qi said: "After all, all of you are Chen Yan's soldiers."
Wow! !
There was an uproar in the army.
Many soldiers were talking a lot, and many even had expressions of resistance on their faces, and many were unwilling to go back.
What are you going back for?
"You're doing well under Wang Qi's command, so why bother going back?"
Wang Qi quietly watched the soldiers discussing and saw many people talking. He even heard some soldiers shouting that they were unwilling to go back and wanted to follow Wang Qi.
There are many voices, and they keep ringing.
Wang Qi allowed the soldiers to discuss. After a while, he raised his hand and lowered his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
When the soldiers stopped speaking, Wang Qi continued: "I heard what you just said and how many people said they wanted to stay and serve me. You believe in me and are willing to follow me. This is great. Thank you. Your trust. But this time, I can¡¯t accept you.¡±
As soon as these words came out, many soldiers even looked disappointed.
There was discussion again.
Wang Qi let the soldiers talk again and did not rush to speak. He wants to win the hearts of the soldiers and at the same time make everyone willing to go back. This is Wang Qi's purpose.
Wang Qi was not in a hurry and allowed the soldiers to continue their discussion.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we are unwilling to leave. We want to stay and serve the Prime Minister."
"I sincerely ask the Prime Minister to take you in."
¡°I sincerely ask the Prime Minister to accept us.¡±
Suddenly, soldiers shouted in the crowd.
The shouts of the soldiers gradually became more uniform, and each soldier kept shouting. The sounds came and went, constantly resounding, echoing throughout the military camp.
After hearing this, Wang Qi also showed a touch of pride on his face.
This is the result of comparing one's heart to one's heart.
"If Wang Qi didn't treat these captives as human beings, didn't give them good food and clothing, treated them like cattle or horses, and oppressed these captives wantonly, all the captives wouldn't be so excited.
Wang Qi waited for a while, then raised his hand and lowered his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
The scene returned to calm.
Wang Qi¡¯s voice was rich and resonant, and he shouted: ¡°There are many of you who are willing to submit to me and work for me. I thank you for your trust in this matter. I still say that I cannot accept you.¡±
"And I also request that all of you must return to Xiapi."
"why?"
"The reason is very simple. All of you are registered. Everyone is in the military and has his or her own name and place of origin. Now that you are released to go back, if someone is unwilling to go back and wants to stay, then your family members in Xiapi and Xuzhou what to do?"
"Ignore them?"
"impossible."
Wang Qi talked eloquently and said with a sincere look: "You have your own family, so you must consider their safety. Furthermore, even though you may have lost your family, you still have relatives and neighbors. If you surrender to me, It is even possible for relatives to be angered."
"Chen Yan was defeated and was furious."
"He can't deal with me, and he can't defeat me, so he is holding back his anger now. If you don't go, you may be angered by Chen Yan, which can easily affect your family or even your loved ones."
"So, you must go back."
Wang Qi said: "You are willing to submit to me, I will note this. But you must go back, so today, I will not leave anyone behind, everyone must leave."
All the prisoners were even more moved when they heard Wang Qi's words.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qi thought about them so much, which was the reason why he didn't keep them.
The officers and men recognized Wang Qi even more.
I think Wang Qi is the real master of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Qi continued: "Everyone leaves, I will give you dry food for five days. Going south from Pengcheng Kingdom, you will enter Xiapi. Now that the heavy snow is no longer continuing, five days is enough to return to Xiapi."
"Xiao Qingzhi!"
Wang Qi gave an order.
"exist!"
Xiao Qingzhi immediately stood up and answered.
Wang Qidao: "Prepare dry food, distribute it to all the soldiers, and let them leave."
"yes!"
Xiao Qingzhi immediately agreed.
Wang Qi said goodbye again and left. Wang Qi's departure made countless soldiers feel excited and sigh in their hearts.
When Xiao Qingzhi saw this scene, he admired in his heart that he was indeed his loyal lord.
Those words are extremely powerful.
