Chapter 1966

Zhang situ, Ren Fang and other generals deeply admire the combat power displayed by Hong Jiajun. Bu Ying stood beside Xiao Xiang, looking at the chaotic Hongjia army camp, sighed: "originally, this war can be completely resolved"

he sighed not only the casualties of his own soldiers, but also the Hong Jiajun. How can we not feel sorry for such a powerful army that has been destroyed by internal friction.

Xiao Xiang glanced at him sideways and said: "my father was very afraid of the family army before he died. He thought that the family army was the root of our worries in Sichuan and had the intention of banning it. Now that my father is not here, I happen to have such an opportunity. Naturally, my Palace will fulfill my father's will."

As Xiao Xuan's confidant, bu Ying of course knows that Xiao Xiang's words are true. The former king did have the intention to ban the family army, but he has not found a suitable opportunity. However, he does not agree with Xiao Xiang's current means. It is too extreme and bloody. There are millions of family armies in Sichuan, large and small, and all together All of them have to be eradicated like the Hong family army. Will all those who do not stay be killed?

Their existence is a threat to the imperial court, but they are also Sichuan people. They fight against each other, and they are not the internal friction of Sichuan. This will only make the enemies of Sichuan laugh behind their backs.

Seeing Bu Ying and other generals frowning and silent, Xiao Xiang understood what they were worried about. She said with a smile: "generals, you don't have to worry. The reason why our Palace used such tough means to deal with Hong Jiajun is to remind us of the deterrent of killing the enemy as an example. In the future, there will be no such killing."

Hearing this, the faces of the generals finally softened. They all bowed their hands and said, "the princess is wise!"

After daybreak, the battle finally came to an end. After this war, the whole army of Hong family was destroyed, with 150000 soldiers and horses, and the final survivors were less than 5000. Even the eldest son Xiao ting and the bloody Marquis Hong Yuetian were both killed in the chaos.

The next step is to clean up the battlefield, deal with the wounded soldiers and bury the bodies. Xiao Xiang is not interested in these things.

When the soldiers carried Xiao Ting's body in front of her, she looked down and sniffed. Without saying anything, she turned and got into the carriage and motioned the guards around to return to the city.

After a fierce battle, Hong Jiajun was removed from the kingdom of Sichuan. Since then, this title only exists in the history books of Sichuan. Xiao Ting, unfortunately, became the second victim of the struggle for the throne of Sichuan.

He made only two mistakes from the beginning to the end, but they were two fatal ones. One was that he overestimated himself, the other was that he underestimated his opponent.

On that day, Xiao Xiang issued a notice in the name of the imperial court, listing the crimes of Xiao ting and Hong Yuetian, and identified them as chaotic parties in Sichuan.

None of the ministers in Sichuan dare to raise any objection to the notice, including those who belonged to Xiao ting. Now, no one dares to confront Xiao Xiang. It's very simple. Whoever controls the military power will have the right to speak. Now, almost all the central troops near the capital are under the control of Xiao Xiang. If anyone is stupid enough to continue to fight against her, it will undoubtedly be a joke about his own life and his family's life. Who dares to take such a risk? Even if Xiao Xiang is dissatisfied, he can only swallow it into his stomach.

Xiao ting and Hong Yuetian are dead, but Xiao Xiang doesn't let their families go. For Hong Yuetian, Xiao Xiang is very determined, mercilessly orders the killing of nine ethnic groups, and thoroughly eradicates the Hong family.

As for Xiao Ting, Xiao Xiang still has a little kinship in mind. She treats Xiao Ting's family members with leniency. She doesn't kill them indiscriminately, but she doesn't make them feel better. All officials will be dismissed. The court will never employ them. All those who have titles will be demoted to the common people. All the family wealth and assets will be returned to the state treasury and exiled to remote areas of Sichuan.

Xiao Xiang's iron and blood skills have dealt a devastating blow to Xiao ting and Hong Yuetian, and they involve too many people. That is to say, in addition to future troubles, Xiao Xiang has also established her prestige in Sichuan. At least no one despises her because she is a woman.

In addition, the fate of Xiao ting and Hong Yuetian has indeed played a role in setting an example to others. The twelve princes who still remain in Zhaoyang city can be said to be in danger. One by one, they are like frightened birds. If there is a slight disturbance, they will be scared to death.

The only thing they can hope for now is Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Yuan is willing to accept their reliance.

It is not enough to win over these twelve princes, but it is not too late for him to fight against Xiao Xiang, but it is not too late for him to fight against Xiao Xiang even if he takes the throne first.

The biggest difference between Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ting is that he is more tolerant. He doesn't care about the gains and losses of the moment. Everything he does is planning for the future.

Therefore, when Xiao Xiang takes advantage of the extermination of Xiao ting and Hong Yuetian to establish prestige, Xiao Yuan is not idle. On the one hand, he tries to win over the princes from all walks of life, and the other is to win over ministers in the imperial court. However, if he is dissatisfied with Xiao Xiang, he will try every means to draw him to his side. Moreover, he is very intelligent and does not rush to fight against Xiao Xiang, but to win over people's support Those who are useful or even not available for the time being should be drawn to their surroundings as much as possible to form a powerful faction.He thought that he was tolerant and secretive enough to do things, but he still could not escape Xiao Xiang's eyes. In Xiao Xiang's opinion, his second brother Wang had neither courage nor courage, and could only play some invisible tricks in the dark, which was difficult to achieve.

On the third day after the first world war with Hong Jiajun, Xiao Xiang invited Xiao Yuan and the princes of the 12th route to her Princess's mansion for a banquet in her own name, which was also a celebration banquet.

At the invitation of Xiao Xiang, the twelve princes all raised their hearts to their voices. They felt that the banquet set up by Xiao Xiang would not be so simple. They came to Xiao Yuan to ask for his opinion.

Xiao Yuan has done some analysis. The princes' concerns are not wrong. Xiao Xiang does not entertain herself and other princes for no reason. She must be plotting, but what is she plotting? To say that there is fraud, but the central army outside the city did not change, and she and the princes did not fall into her hands. She could not kill herself and the princes without any reason. If she dared to do so, all the people in Sichuan would criticize her. Xiao Xiang was so smart that she would not do such a stupid thing.

Then why did she hold a banquet? Xiao Yuansi thought before and after, and finally came up with a reasonable reason, that is, Xiao Xiang wanted to persuade herself and the princes to support her to ascend the throne.

Want to understand this, Xiao Yuan heart secretly smile. In fact, it doesn't matter whether she or the princes support her. At present, she is the most powerful and receives the most support. It is a foregone conclusion to ascend the throne, but with the support of herself and the princes, her succession will become more orthodox and her face will be more beautiful. Xiao Xiang, the ghost girl, wants both face and interior. In this case, why not sell her a favor?

According to his own judgment, Xiao Yuan decided to accept Xiao Xiang's invitation. He made a statement, and the princes were relieved and said that they would go to the banquet with him.

To make a long story short, that night, Xiao Yuan and the princes went together to Xiao Xiang's Princess mansion.

As soon as they entered the princess's mansion, they felt that the atmosphere was not right. There were soldiers everywhere and guards everywhere. Especially when they entered the courtyard, there was almost no open space in the huge space. All of them were warriors with bright helmets and swords under their ribs. They were all dark and could not be distinguished. They were all fierce and murderous. It was not like a banquet Guards are more like fighting and killing people.

Seeing this, the princes' hearts immediately hung up to their throat. As they walked forward, their legs and stomachs began to turn. Cold sweat dripped down from time to time. Xiao Yi, the Marquis of Changshan, who was walking beside Xiao Yuan, said in a trembling voice: "second young master, there is something wrong here."

Seeing such a scene, the princes were afraid, but Xiao Yuan put down his heart.

With a smile, he said calmly, "don't worry about Changshan marquis. If there is no good wine and no good banquet, then these soldiers will not be put on the surface, but will be hidden in the dark."

Oh? When he said this, the princes looked at each other and thought it over. Zhang Yuan said, "you're so scared that Xiao Yuan's heart is just empty."

"I see. I understand." The princes breathed a sigh of relief, and their facial expressions became more natural.

Walking into the hall of the princess's mansion, you can see that it's really lively. Xiao Xiang sits in the middle. On her right hand side, there are generals of Sichuan, including Zhang situ, Ren Fang, bu Ying, Yang Zhao and LV you. The seats on her left are empty, which is obviously for Xiao Yuan and other princes.

Seeing them coming in, all the generals got up and bowed their hands. Xiao Xiang sat there without moving. He just waved his hands casually and said with a smile, "brother Wang and the princes are here. This palace has been waiting for a long time. Please come in and sit down."

Even if Xiao Yuan is the landlord, she should be respected. But she didn't even get up when she sat there, and she didn't mean to give up her seat. Xiao Yuan frowned darkly. Xiao Xiang has such a big frame now that she really regards herself as a king.

In the heart is not happy, Xiao Yuan did not show on the face, he smile, said: "let Xiangmei wait for a long time, really sorry for brother."

"You are welcome, brother Wang."

Between greetings, Xiao Yuan and the princes took their seats on the empty table. As soon as they sat down, Xiao Xiang slapped his hands and said in a loud voice, "serve wine and food!"

With her words, the maids came in one after another from outside, bringing in pots of wine and plates of delicious dishes.

After waiting for the maid to fill the wine, Xiao Xiang first picked up the glass, stood up and raised it above her head. Then, she poured it on the ground. After the wine was spilled, she said to the people below: "the first cup of wine should be addressed to the king. Even if he is wrong, he is the king of the palace. His blood is thicker than water."
