After instructing He Jingzhu's funeral, Liu Chengyou suddenly thought of more, turned his head and ordered: "Li Fang, you are good at writing!" Prepare a letter for me to "Tell Huainan Shimin", Chen Dahan's good government, and describe my intentions. Spread the Huainan Prefectures, whoever is willing to submit to the Han Dynasty will take his life and protect his property so that he will not be violated! ”

"Yes!" When it was his turn to play with the pen, Li Fang was very energetic and hurriedly stepped forward to answer. His eyes were clear, and he seemed to be thinking about how to write an article.

It was Tao Gu, who was a little strange on his face to Liu Chengyou's instructions, he was a talented person, how could he be weaker than others, and this opportunity to become famous was actually given to Li Fang, a junior.

At this time, Liu Chengyou naturally didn't have the heart to care about the psychological fluctuations of Tao Gu, so he groaned a little and continued to give orders: "Summon the states of Huainan, the states and towns occupied by the Han army, abolish the Tang law, dismiss the government, and all military and political affairs will be implemented in accordance with the Han system!"

In the states and counties that have not yet been lowered, those who take the initiative to serve the Han Dynasty can retain their official positions. In addition, the edict ordered Tokyo to let the left-behind ministers select good talents from the two Beijing commanders, the officials who stayed in Taiwan, the bachelors of the three museums and the scholars of various sciences, and prepare to deploy Huainan to fill the position! ”

"Yes!"

Listening to Liu Chengyou's instructions, the civil and military generals present couldn't help but be infected with some emotions, the Son of Heaven was obviously beginning to implement the digestion of Huainan as Han land and naturalize Huaimin into Han people. And their army went south and fought bloodily, isn't it precisely for this goal that they have done this? What is more implicit is a subtle sense of belonging and honor for the Han.

Follow the Ming Lord, create the country, open up the territory, and the husband should be also!

After a pause, he looked at the generals of the forbidden army again, and Liu Chengyou said: "The generals returned to their respective camps, counted the losses, verified the military merits, and comforted the soldiers. Take out all the wine and meat, reward the three armies tonight, reward the soldiers for their exploits in the war, let the soldiers eat and drink, and I should go to the armies to celebrate!

After that, I repaired for two days in Shouchun, straightened out the soldiers and horses, replenished the ordnance, and I wanted to sweep Huainan! ”

"Yes!" A cadre of generals and colonels responded in unison, which was extremely loud. Most of the people are very energetic, and during the journey, the military discipline is very strict, the wine and meat are celebrated, and there is no martial artist who does not like it.

After suppressing it for a long time, Liu Chengyou also intended to let the soldiers and men relax for a while.

After the dispersal of the discussion, Liu Chengyou was still full of energy and walked around the Jiedu Mansion, the environment was relatively simple, and there was no luxury. In his spare time after the victory, he ordered someone to take the Shouzhou register and the map to check, and there were no two subject clocks, Zhang Dejun came to Tongyu, Xu Xiang and other Tang Army generals asked to see!

On the Jiedu Yatang, Liu Chengyou sat with a golden knife and accepted the worship of the generals of the Tang Army, high and majestic. After all, it is a demoted general, and Liu Chengyou can repay his contribution to his service, but compared with the Han Forbidden Army, there must be a difference.

For the forbidden army, Liu Chengyou is five points of majesty and five points of kindness. For these generals, they are bought with grace, and they are deterred with majesty, and their authority is greater than grace.

This time, the Tang generals who took the initiative to serve the Northern Han Dynasty were not few, mainly Xu Xiang, and there were more than a dozen generals. For a while, Liu Chengyou didn't speak, but just looked at these people with a flat gaze.

Liu Chengyou has always been majestic and cold, and over the years, although the problem of "facial paralysis" has improved, it is still a little frightening when he has a cold face. And for this general, the feeling is deeper, kneeling in the hall, his heart is worried, the surroundings are very quiet, cold, intuitively the eyes of the Han Emperor are a little dangerous, one by one, they all subconsciously buried their heads.

"Let's all be exempt!"

Finally, Liu Chengyou spoke, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief and stood up cautiously.

"Who is Xu Xiang?" Liu Chengyou deliberately looked away and asked casually.

Xu Xiang, who was standing in front of his head, heard the question, and immediately bowed respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the last general is exact!" ”

The corners of Liu Chengyou's mouth were slightly hooked, and there was no emotion in his tone, and he said: "Shenwei Army, but the pseudo-Tang Forbidden Army, Suwei Jinling, you are the first army, and you should be trusted by the pseudo-Tang court, why do you sacrifice the city to each other, isn't it suspected of betraying the lord and treason?" "Beanie box

Liu Chengyou's words fell, Xu Xiang, who was already worried, was even more nervous, and Han Tianzi's words were a little unkind, so he immediately responded: "The last general is dull, but I know that Tianwei is difficult to resist, and I dare not match it." As early as Jinling, the ministers knew that the hypocritical Tang monarch was arrogant, the government was ruined, there was no difference between loyalty and loyalty, there was no reward and punishment, and the country that was divided would not be the opponent of the Central Plains Dynasty. Moreover, His Majesty is wise and eloquent, and he is by no means the enemy of the Li family! Therefore, the knowledge is attached, and the service is to His Majesty, and he is willing to go for the cattle and horses, drive for His Majesty and the court, and hope that His Majesty will accept it! ”

The generals of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty are just a little different, and they rush at Xu Xiang, and among the generals of the Han Dynasty, few people can say it.

With a faint smile, Liu Chengyou looked at the junior colonel beside Xu Xiang, who was also the messenger of the Chengcheng on the eve before, and said, "Your name is Zhang Yi?" ”

Suddenly called, the Divine Guard Colonel, who finally had a name, bowed down and replied, "Exactly! ”

"Tell me!" Liu Chengyou looked at the junior officer, who was still young: "Why do you surrender to the big man?" ”

On the eve of the previous year, this person went down to the city to convey his intention to Xu Xiang and was able to be received by Liu Chengyou. At that time, this person left a deep impression on Liu Chengyou, although this person looked ordinary, but his eyes were sharp, he responded appropriately to his own questions, his words were clear and organized, and he was obviously a reader.

At this time, hearing Liu Chengyou's question, this Zhang Yi did not rush to answer, but turned his brain around and responded respectfully: "Forgive me for being blunt." Everyone spares their lives, the army has besieged the city for a long time, the grain in the city is scarce, the city is about to be broken, there are no eggs under the nest, how can the lowly generals not seek a way to live.

Moreover, the bird chooses its wood, the minister chooses its master, His Majesty is the lord of the world, the virtuous and virtuous will compete to serve, and the humble will see the opportunity to serve, but also to seek a future.

And with the situation of the puppet Tang court, even if we die in battle and die for the country, I am afraid that the Li family will not be able to enter the ears of the Li family, which is not worth ......."

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Liu Chengyou raised his finger and said lightly: "Although this statement is utilitarian, it is not true. I like it, honest people! ”

Liu Chengyou commented, but Xu Xiang at the bottom was a little embarrassed, and fine sweat grew in his hands, but he didn't dare to wipe it with great action, but just squinted at this subordinate who had been with him for many years.

His gaze swept over the Tang Army generals again, Liu Chengyou's face gradually warmed up, his tone was much more relaxed, and he waved his hand and said: "I employ people, embrace all rivers and rivers to the sea, and be eclectic." Although you are a general, as long as you are sincere and serve the country, there is no reason for me not to accept it. At present, the country is employing people, and the southern expedition is in full swing, and you will be used for the affairs of the Tang military and government in the future! ”

Hearing Emperor Han's words, Xu Xiang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, joy floated on their faces, and they hurriedly bowed down: "Thank you Your Majesty for accepting, the last general will swear allegiance to the death!" ”

For these polite words, Liu Chengyou has listened to them, and he will not take them too seriously, but what he wants is this kind of statement.

"Divine Guard, how many people are there?" Liu Chengyou asked Xu Xiang.

"After the losses of the battles before and after, it is now less than two thousand!" Xu Xiang replied honestly.

After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou said: "After I defeated the two armies of Xu and Chen, I surrendered the people to Huainan and set up a new army, called Huaide, there is no military envoy yet, and the remaining soldiers of the Shenwei will be merged into the Huaide army, and you are the commander of the capital!" The rest of the generals and colonels, each given a military position! ”

looked at Zhang Yi again: "I look at your talent and knowledge, hide it in your belly, and use it for me, and I will take up the post of Marquis of Huaide Army!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hearing the reward, a group of people hurriedly thanked him.

It was Xu Xiang, who was thankful, and between his faces, there was a hint of kinship, and Liu Chengyou noticed it and asked him.

Xu Xiang sighed and said something in his heart: "The last general and his subordinates, most of them are from Jiangdong and Jiangxi, and their families are still in the Tang Dynasty, defecting to the Han Dynasty and surrendering to Your Majesty, of course, they are happy to surrender." But I am afraid that because of this, I will be convicted by Tang Ting and involve my family! ”

Listening to his words, there were several generals in the hall, and their faces changed, especially that Zhang Yi. Liu Chengyou's eyebrows also raised slightly, looked at Xu Xiang with interest, and said leisurely: "People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, and can only think of their family members can miss their kings." Those who are in the world should have some awe, scruples, and concerns......"
