Chapter 284

In the back of the Lingzhou City Lord's Mansion, Xu Ping said to Wu Zunlu, Ning Lingge, Yeli Wangrong and Cheng Kesheng: "Today I have prepared a small wine, so you can drink a few drinks. After a while, Yuanhao will be killed and we will discuss other things."

Yeli Wangrong saw that the dishes on the table were all filled with dishes, including vegetables, vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and meat. They were extremely exquisite and had never been seen before. However, the most conspicuous thing was not whether the dishes were good or not, but that they were all eaten by Han people, and there was no Hu Feng anymore.

After everyone sat down, Xu Ping said to Yeli Wangrong: "From today, you have been ministers of the court and no longer tribal leaders. You can eat whatever you like in private, but in the face of the officials, you still have to learn Chinese customs and follow the Chinese etiquette."

Yeli Wangrong and Cheng Keshang looked a little ugly. They didn't say anything, but they asked Yuan Hao outside to kill him. They changed all of them to Chinese customs, and the Han rituals became resistant. Xu Ping always believed in his promises, and the two really didn't believe that Xu Ping would do something that would be cooked by a rabbit. But they could tolerate them, but they couldn't tell what to do in the future. After all, they were the head coach of the northwest of the Song Dynasty, who was an official of the Song Dynasty court. After the Dangxiang was pacified, it was impossible for them, such powerful grand clan chiefs, to have their former status.

Seeing Yeli Wangrong and Cheng Keshang's expressions, Xu Ping smiled and said, "Where Yuan Hao and his leaders who refused to surrender, you will inevitably feel sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox. There is no need to do so! I clearly say that from now on, as long as you no longer regard yourself as the leader of the Dangxiang, but as an official of the court, you will be prosperous and prosperous for a lifetime! Of course, like Yuan Hao, you will not let go of your previous territory and citizens, and think that you can only be rich and prosperous with your troops, and then the fate will only be the same as those outside!"

Yeli Wangrong took a deep breath and bowed, "The Protector is heartbroken to us, and we will swear to die to repay the court's grace!"

Xu Ping nodded and said to Cheng Ke: "The imperial court had a clear edict before that those who held Yuan Hao were appointed as the governor of Dingnan Army. This time, you two were in charge, so you asked King Yeli to serve as the governor of Dingnan Army and assist Wu Jingluo in fuxingling Road. As for the general, I have submitted a report to the court and recommend you as the governor of Baojing Army. After the imperial edict came down, he went to Yinxia Road to assist Fang Jingluo in recruiting the Fan tribe of Hengshan. What do you want?"

Hearing that he was also a military governor, Cheng Keshang's face calmed down and bowed, "Guardian Gao Yi!"

The Baojing Army was between the two prefectures of Xingling, and the Dingnan Army was the military quota of Xiazhou. It was the official position of the leader of Dingxiang starting from Tuoba Sigong. The Jiedushi of Dingnan Army was on Xingling Road, and the Jiedushi of Baojing Army was deliberately made. The meaning was to tell these two people that their Jiedushi was no longer in real positions, but only had the same official rank as other officials. From now on, the Dingxiang region would have to be subject to counties and places, and no longer be restrained. As for the official positions of the two people to do things, they would have to wait for the court to decide.

Seeing that both of them were military governors, Brother Ning Ling couldn't help but be anxious and asked, "Protector, how should I deal with me?"

"You are with others, and I cannot be the one who is the guardian of the border. Today, I was beheaded Yuanhao. In order to avenge the crime, you brought all the thieves' heads to the capital and sued the emperor for treason for Dangxiang's crime of treason. As for the future, I think I will lose a title. Zhao Baozhong's old title is still in Kaifeng Prefecture, and his grandson Congji was an official in the court. When you arrive at Kaifeng Prefecture, you are not lonely."

Zhao Baozhong was Li Jipang. He brought some of the leaders of the Dangxiang to Beijing and included them in the royal family. Therefore, his descendants ranked according to Zhao Zhen and his family. His grandson was named Zhao Congji, and he was considered a member of the Song Dynasty's royal family, but his official positions were not high in this generation.

It is impossible for Brother Ning Ling to stay in the northwest. He was just treating Li Foma and becoming a low-ranking idle king in Kaifeng Prefecture. If he knew how to be a human being, he might have done better. After all, he was surrendered by himself, not captured by Xu Ping. Zhao Baozhong's descendants were not obvious because he committed a big taboo when he was fighting against Li Jiqian. At the most critical moment, he had a private communication with Li Jiqian, but was betrayed by Li Jiqian. After his death, he could still be awarded the title of Jiedushi. The Song Dynasty was worthy of him.

As long as Brother Ning Ling remembers the lessons of his previous generations and is honest, he can even get the treatment of a royal prince. Of course, there is definitely no real power, and the surrendered king is just like that. Speaking of which, Li Foma's current title is still higher than Xu Ping, but what's the use? The supervisor of the Xu Ping family and others were also treated as guests of honor in his mansion.

When he heard that he wanted to be a prisoner of guilt, Brother Ning Ling couldn't help but feel a little sad. The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. This was the result. Not only did he behead his father, but his son also had to take his father's head to the court to confess his guilt. Only with a good attitude of confessing guilt can he have a good life in the future. However, when he remembered what Yuan Hao did to him and remembered that he did not lose the title of prince, Brother Ning Ling's mood improved again.

After drinking a tour of wine, Xu Ping said to everyone: "This dynasty governs the world with kindness and forgiveness. As long as you care about the court, glory and wealth will be iron-clad. Remember my words, the most important thing is loyalty, don't have the thoughts of Yuanhao again. As long as you have made contributions to the country, what's the difficulty of writing iron certificates for the alchemy? The glory and wealth of the court are not as strong as eating sand in this desolate place?"

Yeli Wangrong, Cheng Keshang and Ning Lingge said it was together. No matter what he thought, the current situation must accept this result. Xu Ping did not let all the Dangxiang leaders enter the capital, but still let Yeli Wangrong and Cheng Keshang stay. Of course, Xu Ping had his own purpose. With such two people staying, the remaining Dangxiang tribe would be much easier to deal with. With the Longyou army watching, the two of them could only do their work honestly.

More importantly, if the Khitan really takes action at this time and wants to seize the Heishan Military Supervisor, there must be a leader of Dangxiang to lead his troops to negotiate. Now is not the time to go to war with the Khitan, Xu Ping does not want to lose the title of righteousness, and it is also the Khitan who wants to be defeated. The Dangxiang army will attack the Khitan, and the Song army will receive the land captured from behind. If the Khitan dares to directly attack the Song army, there is nothing to say. The Chanzhou Alliance will be invalidated. The annual monies for the current production will be stopped first, and the two armies will set up a formation to confront each other.

Now that the treasury is full, the Song Dynasty is most afraid of being a military confrontation with the Khitan and competing for national strength. The Song Dynasty could bring out seven or eight hundred thousand permanent troops to force the Khitan on the front thousands of miles away. If the Khitan wanted to maintain the same force, the national strength would be greatly affected and would be dragged down in a few years.

After all, the Khitan is a small country composed of non-Dangxiang tribe, and the 200,000 troops in Longyou are too forced to fight the battle to destroy the country. As long as the confrontation lasts for a few years, the Khitan national strength will be defeated and the internal military reform is completed, then everything will be easy to say.

The territory occupied by the Dangxiang tribe spans thousands of miles and millions of people. Because Yuan Hao is very talented and talented, it is easy to conquer it. It is not a matter of complete digestion. The Song Dynasty also needs time to consolidate the results of this battle. Hetao is to be developed, and several counties in Hexi are to be taken back, and even Hehuang is not allowed to continue the development of Yesiluo. Things are so complicated that the war is not allowed to continue. Yinshan and the Khitan are tested, and everyone finds the way to get along in the future. This war is about to end.

After three years of coming to the northwest, the war was not the same as Xu Ping had imagined before. Xu Ping was also a little tired. The harvest of this war requires time to settle, which is true for himself and for the Song Dynasty court.
