Chapter 2566 King Qin’s Triumphal Return

The Lu family relies on this army of hundreds of thousands of people.

The army base was bombarded by the King of Qin, and tens of thousands of people were captured. Those who were willing to go home were offered money, and those who were unwilling were surrendered and allowed to join the Zhou army.

Northern Qi was already a territory of Zhou Dynasty, so there was no shame in joining the Zhou army instead.

Except for a small number of people who asked to return to their hometown, most were willing to join the Zhou army.

Then a magical scene happened.

King Qin led an army of 100,000 to attack the Lu family. Not only did he not lose a single soldier or general, he came back with 70,000 to 80,000 more soldiers. The whole city was attracted to go out and watch.

Of course, King Qin did not really bring all these 70,000 to 80,000 prisoners to Kyoto.

Kyoto is so big that it can’t accommodate so many people at once. On the way back from Northern Qi, every time he passed through a place, the King of Qin dispersed the surrendered Lu family troops and stayed there.

Most of them are distributed in various health centers.

In this way, it will not put too much pressure on a certain place to raise an army. Even if the Lu family is scattered, even if they have different intentions, they will not be able to cause any trouble.

This is the same method used to treat the Jiuli people.

The Jiuli people are allowed to live together in order to protect them from being bullied, but the number of people is not allowed to be too large. To prevent them from disobeying discipline and causing any trouble.

This method still works very well.

The people of Jiuli have been keeping to themselves until now.

Of course, an important reason why they are willing to keep their peace is because they believe that their saint is the second princess of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

The saint asked them to integrate into the lives of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they obeyed.

It can be said that the people of Jiuli surrendered not to the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, nor to the Queen, but to their Second Princess.

King Qin returned with a great victory.

The Lu family was defeated.

But the centipede is dead but not stiff. With the huge size of the Lu family, even if their army is destroyed, the Lu family cannot be destroyed in a short time.

What's more, so far, the Lu family still holds Xiao Ziliang in their hands.

Although Dazhou didn't care about Xiao Ziliang, the people of Northern Qi did.

In their hearts, Xiao Ziliang is the Xiao royal family and the master they want to be loyal to.

If Dazhou really didn't care about Xiao Ziliang's life or death, it would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the people of Northern Qi.

Stability is more important than anything else.

The imperial court has always been tolerant of Northern Qi's rule and provided many benefits to the people.

Now that the prince of Northern Qi has been arrested, can the court ignore it?

It must be managed.

The emperor, empress, and prince led hundreds of civil and military officials to personally welcome King Qin's triumphant return.

The King of Qin was riding on the back of dark clouds, wearing heavy armor and looking handsome and handsome, which attracted bursts of applause from the people watching.

Everyone knows that the King of Qin is a mighty god of war, and he put down the rebellion of the Lu family of the Northern Qi Dynasty without even using a single soldier.

But the King of Qin knew clearly that this time he sent troops to the Lu family. Although he did not lose any troops or generals, he still spent millions of taels of military resources.

Mainly spent on artillery.

The production of artillery is extremely expensive, and every cannonball thrown is a waste of money.

When the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department were discussing this matter, they once asked a question: Which is more important, the money spent on using artillery shells, or the lives of soldiers.

In war, the casualties of the lowest level soldiers are also included in the cost.

Is it more expensive to raise troops or to make artillery shells?

The arsenal has clear accounts, and the cost of raising a soldier can be easily calculated.

The results of the comparison are astonishing.

The cost of a cannonball far exceeded the money needed to raise a soldier.
