?
Some people, like General Gui, would rather die rather than serving Fei Yang Kingdom. While his loyalty was admirable, there were not many people who would be able to be the same as him and said that with certainty.
The moment they chose to refuse following Fei Yang Kingdom meant that they would be sentenced to death along with their family members.
Thus, some other commanders chose to bury their resentment.
And it was also because of this that Emperor Yang Zhou didn't dare to recklessly reuse these people if it was not necessary. General Kai at the north border was just one of the few cases that they chose to use because of some reasons.
Besides, they have already deployed some commanders to the north during this period of time and Emperor Yang Zhou felt that it was unnecessary to worry so much. Even if General Kai wanted to rebel, it wouldn't be that easy.
He was surrounded by four kingdoms.
The moment he made a move against one of them, the other three would never sit still.
How could he dare to have any thoughts against Fei Yang Kingdom? He would be digging his own grave. So as long as he had a brain, he would definitely know that it would be impossible for him to do anything against them.
"River General Kui, huh?" Emperor Yang Zhou muttered.
The person who was hardest to settle was actually River General Kui. This was because River General Kui's prestige in Wei Da Kingdom's people heart was simply too big. There will definitely be people who were willing to follow him if he were to announce a rebellion.
This was why Emperor Yang Zhou felt headache.
Killing him directly would cause resentment in the heart of the people who used to be part of Wei Da Kingdom.
But not killing him meant that they would be leaving a knife that might stab on their back.
So, they all have a lot of debates about him.
As for General Pan… it was clear that no one had good impression of him. Emperor Yang Zhou had already given the order to his men before he met Long Qian Xing to release General Pan and demote him. He will be a 4000 men commander and stationed at the middle border between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom.
If he could prove himself capable, Emperor Yang Zhou will rise his rank.
But if he was proven to be useless…. Then he should just stay as 4000 men Commander Pan for the rest of his life.
His soldiers were split and more than half were handed to others.
There were many managements and these soldiers knew that they now had to work for Fei Yang Kingdom. But for the specific, it was not entirely clear yet because everything was still in progress.
"Would you like to see him, Your Majesty?" Long Qian Xing asked.
"Yes."
So the next destination after coming to Yi City was the prison. Even though it was called as prison, the place where they put River General Kui was actually a separate courtyard that was relatively good. In this place, River General Kui would not be lacking anything.
After the battle in which he lost, River General Kui had long given up and knew that there was no point in him fighting again. The war between the six kingdoms had been going on for a long period of time and this time, he had become the failure who allowed the enemy to break the defense line.
He knew that a lot of people would despise him.
But River General Kui was also helpless.
He had done so many things and tried his best, but in the end, he was not as good as the other party.
For this… he acknowledged it.
But even though he acknowledged it, he could not bring himself to be part of Fei Yang Kingdom and served them. He knew very well that from the bottom of his heart, he could not accept this change of status.
He knew that they were considering releasing him if he chose to pledge his loyalty to Fei Yang Kingdom.
He was old.
And his family members were declining.
There was only one person who was quite capable in his line, but he was also captured. River General Kui only felt that in the battle of wits and strategies that he used to be so proud of, he was thoroughly defeated.
He heard of General Duan's defeat and allegiance change.
But he couldn't do it.
Clang!
Hearing the sound of metal, River General Kui raised his head and saw two youths walked to the gate. There were previously many guards around, but now there were only three people in this large courtyard.
Looking at their clothes, River General Kui smiled bitterly. "It's truly an honor for you to pay a visit to someone like me, Your Majesty."
"I have heard of your military exploits, River General Kui. You're indeed a person worthy of admiration." Emperor Yang Zhou looked at the old man in front of him.
River General Kui was even older than Great General Nan and already looked very old and thin. His martial arts were not as good as other generals and years of battle at the frontline had caused his body to deteriorate.
Right now, it was a bit hard to imagine that this weak and old man in front of them was the famous River General Kui from Wei Da Kingdom.
He looked rather harmless.
But of course, neither Emperor Yang Zhou or Long Qian Xing relaxed their guard. They knew better than relaxing when they were facing their enemies.
"It's indeed an honor for me." River General Kui looked at Emperor Yang Zhou and could guess the other party's intention. "Your Majesty, pardon me for not being able to be on the same side with you."
He could change his allegiance.
But he didn't want to.
Even if his rationality was telling him that it was the best choice, his heart was unwilling to do so.
