Li Cheng's coming down was something Zhao Shuo didn't expect. He was silent for a while www.biquge.info before asking. "Li Cheng? Wasn't he blocked on the South Shore by that uncle of mine? ”

Hearing Zhao Shuo's words, Zhang Chujiu was stunned for a moment and said. "Zhao Gou mobilized a large number of troops and let Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, and Liu Guangshi attack Li Cheng from three sides, but Li Cheng was not stupid, he sent heavy troops to guard the south bank of the Huai River, leaving a way back for himself."

Hearing Zhang Chujiu's words, Zhao Shuo already understood the reason why Li Chengneng fled back. Originally, Zhang Jun was really facing the north to intercept Li Cheng, but the land north of the Huai River had been allocated to Zhao Shuo, so Zhang Jun naturally could not operate north of the Huai River.

Zhang Jun's army withdrew to the south of the Huai River, and the encirclement of Li Cheng was self-defeating. Li Cheng should be happy at this time, but the Zhi Yanshi and Zhi Yanruo sent by Zhao Shuo were menacing and extremely fast, and Li Cheng, who did not want to be an enemy of Zhao Shuo, chose to give up all the land north of the Huai River, cross the Huai River, and fight to the death with Zhao Shuo.

It was wise for him to do this, after all, one Zhao Gou had already made him dying, and if he added another Zhao Shuo, he would definitely lose. This little life is also explained.

Li Cheng's wise choice left him with a possibility, the possibility of defecting to Zhao Shuo, of course, this possibility will only appear in order to survive when Li Cheng is undoubtedly defeated.

Li Cheng left heavy troops to defend the ferry on the south bank of the Huai River, which was regarded as leaving a back road for himself.

The armies of Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong were originally attacking Li Cheng south of the Huai River, and after Li Cheng crossed the river, their offensive became even more fierce.

Zhang Jun withdrew from the north bank to the south bank, and after regrouping, he also launched an attack on Li Cheng.

Zhao Gou regarded Li as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and even mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized to come to encircle and suppress.

Faced with this situation, people who are slightly smarter and have brains know what to do.

And Li Cheng was not stupid, so he left the deputy general to guard the ferry, and personally went to the north of the Huai River to find Zhi Yanshi and Zhi Yanruo, and expressed his willingness to surrender to Zhao Shuo.

Li Cheng was very anxious about the surrender. He knew that now he still had some generals in his hands, and they still had a certain value, and it was still possible to surrender to Zhao Shuo and get an official and a half-position. But once he is completely defeated and has nothing in his hands, it is a question of whether Zhao Shuo wants him or not, let alone an official and a half-position.

Zhi Yanshi and Zhi Yanruo did not dare to make their own decisions about this matter, and after some discussion, they immediately let people release carrier pigeons and spread the news to Luoyang.

"Lord Wang, Li Cheng has repeatedly rebelled and rebelled, such a person, otherwise forget it." Seeing that Zhao Shuo didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Chujiu expressed his opinion.

Li was a native of the Song Dynasty, and when the Jin army moved south, he surrendered to the Jin army, and later became a general of the Jin army, and after capturing the Jianghuai Valley, he was stationed there. When the Jin army was forced to retreat, he established himself as the king, and later accepted the canonization of Zhao Gou, and now he wants to cut off the hegemony again, such a person, Zhang Chujiu looks down on in his bones, and Zhang Chujiu is also worried that after Zhao Shuo agrees to Li Cheng's surrender, one day, Li Cheng will rebel again.

"This Li Cheng is a person with some ability, in such troubled times, such a person, it is a pity to die."

Zhao Shuo spoke, although he didn't say it explicitly, but Zhang Chujiu had already understood, Zhao Shuo cherished Li Cheng's talent and had agreed to Li Cheng's surrender.

"Then I'm going to give orders to the two adults, Zhi Yanruo and Zhi Yanshi?" Zhang Chujiu asked.

"Yes! Let them send Li Cheng to Luoyang, and as for Li Cheng's soldiers, they will be scattered on the spot and scattered to all armies. Zhao Shuo said lightly.

After Li Yuanhao left Zhao Shuo's reception hall, the more he thought about it, the more surprised he became, at this time, he had forgotten about Li Qianshun's purchase of small cannonballs, and his only thought was to hurry back to Xixia to find out whether what Zhao Shuo said was true or false.

If it's fake, he can breathe a sigh of relief, if it's true, then Zhao Shuo is too terrible. In the future, even if the Western Xia provokes the world, it must not provoke Zhao Shuo.

Let his subordinates pass a word to Zhao Shuo, and the frightened Li Yuanhao hurriedly left Luoyang and went straight to Western Xia.

And a few days later, Li Cheng was also sent to Luoyang.

Zhao Shuo met with Li Cheng in the living room.

"The minister Li Cheng visited the prince, thank you for the prince's life-saving grace, he can use the minister in the future, and the minister will go to the soup and the fire, and he will not give up." As soon as Li Cheng entered the meeting room, he fell to his knees and showed his loyalty.

"Do you think you still deserve to be believed?" Zhao Shuo took a sword that was also placed on the table and said lightly.

Li Cheng was stunned, this was obviously Zhao Shuo who wanted to kill him. Now that Li Cheng's soldiers have been incorporated by Zhao Shuo, he is completely a bare-bones commander, and he can't make waves anymore.

I thought he would get away with it, but now it seems that he was a little too naïve.

"Lord, lord, I have indeed done a lot of wrong things before, but it is all a last resort, please give me another chance, if he betrays the prince one day, may the sky thunder five thunders." Li Cheng fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

Swish~!

The long sword slashed, Li Cheng closed his eyes, and he felt that this time he would definitely die.

"I believe you won't betray me, because Li Cheng is dead." Zhao Shuo's long sword rested on Li Cheng's shoulder, and a strand of hair slowly fell. "From today on, your name is Zhao Cheng, the official worship captain, and you are the general I just promoted."

Li Cheng escaped death and hurriedly thanked him. "Thank you, Lord Wang."

"Get up!" Zhao Shuo withdrew his long sword and raised his hand slightly. After Zhao Cheng got up, Zhao Shuo continued. "There's no way to change your surname, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't want to cause conflict with my uncle. Let your surname be Zhao, which can be regarded as compensation for you. ”

The surname Zhao is the surname of the country, the surname of the royal family and nobles, but not everyone can have a surname. At this moment, Zhao Cheng's heart is beautiful, although his surname has been changed, he is very satisfied.

"Zhao Cheng, you rest for a few days, and immediately go to Dengzhou in Qidi, where Ju Zheng is building a dock, where he goes, he will tell you what to do." Zhao Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and found the right thing for Zhao Cheng.

"Yes!" Zhao Cheng bowed and left.

A few days later, the news of Li Cheng's violent illness and death came out, which made Qin Hui, who was assigned by Zhao Gou to walk on the road and look for Zhao Shuo's theory, directly dumbfounded.

The purpose of his going to Zhao Shuo was for Li Cheng's business, and now that Li Cheng is dead, there is no point in him going to Luoyang now.

"This King Song is really good! I actually came up with this strategy in advance. Qin Hui naturally didn't believe that Li Cheng was dead, he shook his head, and then sent someone back to Lin'an to report the news of Li Cheng's death to Zhao Gou, and then listen to Zhao Gou's next will.
