The surrender ceremony took place in the early evening, which was the established rule. ? happy? arts? Fiction www.ls520.

In the use of troops in the Spring and Autumn Period, the military has always been dismissed after defeating the army, instead of killing a lot of people. Among the killings, there is a military ritual system left over from the aristocratic era. This is the biggest difference from the Warring States Period. The poem "If you can control the invading mausoleum, how can you kill more people?", King Zhuang of Chu talked about "martial arts" after the Battle of Pi, and refused to build a view of the capital, which is probably the most typical example.

Although rituals and music have collapsed badly in the past few decades, as Shiqing, Guoxia still strictly abides by this standard. The Qi people were surrounded so tightly that they didn't even have room to rearrange the queue, so they weren't afraid of what they would do.

The etiquette of surrender among the princes is roughly the same, not only the surrender of the defeated, but also the surrender of the victor. After the appointed time, he drove the red chariot and horse representing the victor, and met Guoxia and Gao Wupi who were riding in the chariot in front of the two armies that were full of corpses.

Guo Xia is a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and a sparse beard. This historically gave Zhao Yang a headache, and the famous Qi general who turned the Jin war situation several times was too late to shine, and his martial arts luck was in Wenshui. He was cut off by Zhao Wuxi.

This unprecedented defeat is enough for him to be left unseen in the history books of Qi for a hundred years...

Guoxia was not there at the Jiagu meeting. This was his first meeting with Zhao Wuxi. While surprised by Zhao Wuxi's youth, he forced his fists together and said, "General Zhao can propose a truce, it's really two things. Good luck to the soldiers."

"It's a surrender, an unconditional surrender, not a truce." Zhao Wuxi was escorted by many black-clothed guards. He had to beware of Qi people playing the trick of Cao Mo's robbing the alliance. Facing Guoxia, he behaved politely. The tone was not polite at all.

Guoxia was stunned: "Unconditional surrender?"

"Of course, the Qi people cannot offer any quid pro quo, and everything should follow my instructions and orders."

Guo Xia frowned, probably because he felt a little humiliated, and his chest was heaving. If it was normal, he would have waved his sleeves and turned around and left. Gao Wupi hurriedly pulled his sleeves behind him, reminding him that Qi Ren had lost in a mess. Can't fight anymore.

This is an indisputable fact, Guo Xia pondered for a moment, then chose to bow his head.

He took off his helmet and said sincerely to Zhao Wuchen: "Allow me to talk about an old incident from decades ago. At first, Chen Ai Gong joined the King of Chu to attack Zheng State. On the way Chen Jun passed, wells were filled and trees were destroyed. Cut, the Zheng people resented Chen Jun very much. Later, Zi Zhan and Zi Chan of Zheng State led 700 chariots to attack Chen State. After a successful night attack, they entered Chen City. Entering Chen Ai's palace, He Zichan personally guarded the gate of the palace. After accepting the surrender, he ordered the number of prisoners and left. The two people's lenient treatment of those who surrendered was praised by the princes..."

"The general's benevolence and generosity, we have heard of it in Qi. Today's defeat is all my fault. I hope the general can let the soldiers go. complain."

Zhao Wuchun smiled and said: "If I do something to the prince, I am afraid that I will be slandered by the princes and gentlemen for the rest of my life. Even if it is only for the sake of future reputation, I will not do it. Please rest assured, the prince, my promise is still valid. As long as the Qi people put down their weapons, their lives can be guaranteed, and after the bowing ceremony is completed, I will let people arrange a place for the two to rest."

Guo Xia sighed. As a martial artist, the most difficult thing to accept is to bow down and surrender. Fortunately, once he loses, he is not the popular Chu people who kill themselves to thank the king and the elders of his hometown. Surrender is still a common thing in the Central Plains War, especially It was Qi who surrendered to the people of Jin, not once or twice...

As if it was a replica of the Battle of Saddle and the Battle of Pingyin, the Qi people's military flags were thrown in front of Zhao Wuxi one by one, while the Guo and Gao people removed their armor, presented their swords, and got out of the car to salute Zhao Wuxi.

Zhao Wuxi accepted the salute calmly, and he asked people to accept the military flags of the two men of Guo and Gao, as well as the drums in the army: the drum of the country and the drum of Gao. The army, Zhao Bing let out the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis, but they could only throw their weapons into the open space, accept the arrangement of fate, and wait in line for Zhao's custody.

The officials around Guoxia presented the army establishment and roster. The Qi army, which had more than 40,000 people when it entered Lu, has surrendered after all the small wars. Two or three thousand, or about thirty thousand, were caught by Le Ziming and Tian Ben. And Zhao Jun's casualties in this battle did not add up to more than 3,000. This was an unprecedented victory, and the ending was beautiful. It was more perfect than the battle of the snowfield!

After this battle, Qi State lost two-fifths of its troops! The remaining three-fifths, and the other half belonged to the Chen family...

The southern gate of Qi State has been completely opened to Zhao Jun!

But Zhao Wuxi felt a headache when he looked at these people from the Qi country with their heads down.

There are still many things to do next, such as the corpses on the battlefield need to be collected, whether the enemy or his own side, he still remembers the typhoid fever four years ago. Now it is midsummer, which is the season when bacteria are easy to breed. The corpse will rot and stink in a few days, polluting the entire Wenshui. This is the lifeblood of Xilu. Xilu was originally killed by Qi ** in spring ploughing. This is even worse.

In addition, the prisoners need to be broken up and detained, and a charter must be drawn up for their disposal. Is it killing? is it off? Or severance? This is enough for Zhao Wuxi's staff and staff to argue for several days...

...

Young Master Yangsheng was also sent over by Tian Ben. He was still **** with five flowers, and his body was wet. Yu Xi, who had witnessed the cavalry raid on Qiying four years ago, saw him coming, so he laughed and said, "Young Master Qi, It's been a long time, how come the situation today is exactly the same as four years ago, do you still remember me?"

Yang Sheng was very embarrassed. He had lost his pretence four years ago. He didn't recognize who the tall and thin horseman was in front of him, but it could be seen from this that Zhao Wuxi didn't care about his son's identity. Hard to let him go. So after entering the army tent, he looked at Guo Xia and Gao Wupi, who were sitting beside him with sullen faces and did not speak with pleading eyes.

"Guozi, Gaozi, you are the guests, and Yangsheng is a prisoner. Although Yangsheng is at fault, I hope that Guozi can see that I am the son of Qi, and I am the descendant of Jiang, and I will serve Zhao on behalf of the boy. General begging for mercy."

Gao Wupi was very vengeful. He didn't even want to take a look at this young master who ran away first, causing no one to answer him. Guo Xia shook his head helplessly and said, "Young master knew this moment, why did you have to do it in the first place..."

Before Young Master Yangsheng could answer, he was pushed into the middle of the tent. Zhao Wuxie sat behind the case with a golden knife and looked at him coldly.

"I also hope that the general will forgive the boy. If the boy can return to Qi, he will give him ten cities and towns, plus countless beauties, money and silk."

Zhao Wuxi felt ridiculous: "You are not yet the Marquis of Qi, so you want to cede the land? Don't forget, young master, you are not even the prince, and what you say in the court of Qi is not as important as a doctor!"

He then showed a sneer that made Guoxia and Gao Wupi feel cold: "What's more, if I want Qi's city and wealth, can't I get it myself?"

Yang Sheng tremblingly knelt down and begged for mercy, but Zhao Wuxi ignored him, just waved his hand and was pushed out.

Generally speaking, princes and grandsons of princes who are captured are usually redeemed, but Yang Sheng has always been unloved by the princes of Qi, and he has a bad reputation within the state of Qi. , I'm afraid no one wants to save him. Besides, judging from Zhao Wuxi's tone, he probably wouldn't easily bypass Yang Sheng.

After Young Master Yangsheng's cry for mercy disappeared, Guoxia turned around and said: "Yangsheng is unworthy, this is all my fault in governing the army, which made the general laugh, I don't know how the general will arrange him, whether it can Give him the same treatment as me?"

Zhao Wuxi said: "Guozi, although I promise to guarantee the lives of the soldiers and soldiers of Qi, there is only one exception. Those who committed monstrous crimes in the state of Lu and killed innocent people indiscriminately will be screened out and punished, so that the people of Lu can be given a punishment. Tell me, Gao Zi, do you have the blood of officials and commoners on your hands?"

When asked suddenly, Gao Wupi, who was on the side, felt a tightness in his heart, as if he had something dirty on his body for no reason, and quickly explained: "I was not in the rear army when I was in Xilu, and Yang Sheng's actions have nothing to do with me. As for that Lu Qiu Ming, he died in a car crash while being pursued by the general, and he did all the looting in private..."

He looked at Guoxia: "It has nothing to do with Guozi."

Zhao Wuxi squinted and stared at Gao Wupi for a while, until he saw that the prince was sweating coldly, and then said with a smile: "I believe you, and I believe this is not the military order of the prince. I am afraid that I will not be able to sit on the seat of the guests because of sins like him."

He beat him secretly, but Guoxia still didn't know it, and still pleaded: "Yangsheng is guilty of the state of Lu, but he is also a son of a country, and he also asks the general to give him decent treatment..."

"Guozi is willing to change his situation with him?" Zhao Wuqi interrupted Guo Xia's plea, Guo Xia immediately stopped talking~www.wuxiahere.com~ He suddenly reacted, although Zhao Wuqi used Qing Treating him with respect seems to respect him as a guest, but in reality, he is just like Yang Sheng, but a more respectable prisoner!

The vanquished who surrendered unconditionally has so many demands! You can't even protect yourself, and you still want to plead for others?

"Although I am familiar with the art of war, it is very problematic to judge the timing, and there are too many women in my heart..." From the performance after Guoxia surrendered, Zhao Wuxi made such a judgment on him, no wonder in history On the other hand, he who controls the military power of Qi State will be pitted by Chen's father and son.

After being a little less apprehensive about Guoxia, Zhao Wuxi continued: "Yang Sheng is not only a prisoner, he is also a war criminal who committed monstrous deeds against the State of Lu. He and the rest of the war criminals took him to Xilu, and in Yuncheng let Si Kou and the judges try their crimes!"

Guo Xia was startled: "The trial? The general wants someone to sue Yang Sheng? He is a son, and Qi has always had rules, so he can't punish a doctor..."

Zhao Wuxi stood up and said, "I don't know what rules Guan Yiwu gave to Qi Guo back then, but in Zhao clan and Lu country, the family and the country are governed by law! Whether it's the son or the Duke of Qi himself. , even Zhou Tianzi, if he commits a crime in the state of Lu, he has to follow my rules!" (To be continued.)
