Liu Qi saw that after his own patient persuasion, Sun Quan finally agreed to his conditions and wrote a letter ordering Jiangdong Qunxiong to surrender, and his heart was still full of excitement and excitement.

After all, these are heroes and heroes from all over Jiangdong, and even most of them are famous ministers in history, such as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, He Qi, Han Dang, Jiang Qin, these are all famous generals in the history of Jiangdong and even in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and although Ling Cao's own ability is still a little behind the above, his son Ling Tong is a famous general in Jiangdong, and Gu Yong is the most relied on prime minister in the Sun Quan period, others such as Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhuge Jin, Kan Ze, Qin Song, Chen Duan, Grim, Wu Cang and others are also a generation of famous ministers, and these recognitions are all elite figures in the history of Wu State!

Got so many talents at once, this is a situation that Liu Qi has never encountered in history, his command is already full of talents, and now after getting these talents, it can be said that in terms of quantity and quality, it is not much inferior to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the two great princes, and even surpassed.

Of course, there are also regrets in this, such as the fierce general Zhou Tai, because he was loyal to Sun Quan, although he got the order to surrender to Liu Qi, but he never accepted the reality that the Jiangdong forces were destroyed and his master Sun Quan became a prisoner, and finally killed himself when people were not paying attention.

Liu Qi loved Zhou Tai's talent deeply, and couldn't help but feel sorry for it when he heard it, so he ordered Zhou Tai to be buried thickly, and then named Zhou Shao, the son of Zhou Tai, as the Marquis of Guannei, and sent him to Yangzhou Academy to study.

Liu Qi's approach made all the civil and military forces in Jiangdong feel a little comforted, and their resistance to Liu Qi was no longer so strong.

"See the lord." Although there is still some reluctance in their hearts, firstly, Sun Quan's order is clearly written, secondly, the Jiangdong forces have perished, and they must accept the fait accompli, just like the late lord Sun Quan said, they still have to stay for the promising body and make their due contributions to the world and the people, so Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zhuge Jin, Kan Ze, He Qi, Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Ling Cao and others all helplessly bowed to the ground, and paid homage to Liu Qi, expressing their obedience.

"You don't have to be polite." Liu Qi was very excited in his heart, and helped them up one by one, and every time he helped up a person, he talked about some of their deeds, which were the most proud of them in their lives, or some praise for them, and these praises were also the most objective.

After all, Liu Qi is a high-achieving student of the history department who has crossed over, and has a special study of the history of the Three Kingdoms, and he is still relatively familiar with these Jiangdong Huchens in history, and some people who are not familiar with it can also grasp the understanding of the old Jiangdong ministers who have taken refuge in him like this, so as soon as Liu Qi said these words, the hearts of those Jiangdong ministers who had just surrendered all felt a trace of relief, at least their new masters still knew them well.

Next, Liu Qi awarded them one by one according to their talents and current positions.

Huang Gai and Cheng Pu Zhiyong were appointed as generals Jianwei and Yangwu respectively, Han Dang and Jiang Qin were appointed as Yamen generals, Ling Cao and He Qi were appointed as generals of Pi, Zhuge Jin and Kan Ze were respectively appointed as Jingzhou Gongcao and Shucao respectively, Zhang Hong and Gu Yong were appointed as Yangzhou Zhizhong and Beijia respectively, assisting Yangzhou Assassin Xu Shu to govern Yangzhou.

And for those civil officials who secretly sent letters to express their intention to surrender before the city was broken, such as Zhang Zhao, Qin Song, Chen Duan, Wei Teng, Yan Ji, Wu Cang, Bu Jing and others, Liu Qi did not discriminate, and were awarded important positions, Zhang Zhao was appointed as the Huiji Taishou, and concurrently led Yangzhou Prefecture and County, Qin Song, Chen Duan, Wu Cang, Bu Jing and others were respectively opened to Yangzhou to engage, and Yan Jian was opened to Jingzhou because he was proficient in scriptures.

As for those Jiangdong generals before the breakthrough of Shanyin, Liu Qi naturally did not favor one over the other, and they all had their own rewards, Zhu Zhi was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou, Dong Xi was appointed as a partial general, Bu Qi was appointed as a county of Jingzhou, Zhu Huan was promoted to Yamen general, Fu Ying, Sun Gao, Zhu Cai, Xu Jiao, etc. also had their own rewards.

In addition, Xu Shu was listed as General Andong and led the history of Yangzhou Assassin, Lu Xun was promoted to General Fenwu, Wei Yan was promoted to General Fenwu, Wei Yan was General of Rebellion, Huang Zhong was General Dangkou, Chen Wu was General of Capture, Liu Pan was General of Kou, Jiang Wan was General of Jingzhou Supervision, General Zhenwei, Lü Meng was General Zhenwu, Du Xi was General Guangwei, and other generals and generals were also rewarded.

"In addition to the Jiujiang part of the Jiujiang occupied by Zhang Liao, there is only Wanling guarded by Zhou Yu in Yangzhou, Zhou Lang is a smart man, he knows that he can't keep this city at all, and he must not let Wanling be looted by war again, right? Gongfu, you and Gongjin are old friends, can you work hard and go to Wanling? ”

Liu Qi glanced at Huang Gai and said with a slight smile.

"No. The last general commanded. Huang Gai did not hesitate, took the letter written by Liu Qi to Zhou Yu, hugged Liu Qi, and then went to Wanling City.

At this time, Zhang Tong, who was beside Liu Qi, saw that Liu Qi actually asked the newly surrendered Huang Gai to be the envoy, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly attached to Liu Qi's ear and said: "My lord, Huang Gai is an old minister of Jiangdong, although he has just surrendered, but he may not really be attached, the lord ordered him to enter the city to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, in case he colludes with Zhou Yu to jointly commit fraud and surrender, and then plot against the lord, isn't it dangerous?" ”

But hearing Liu Qi laughed: "Huang Gongfu is a believer, he will never be like this, those who doubt it don't need it, those who use it don't doubt it, since I use Huang Gongfu, then I won't be suspicious of him, you can rest assured." ”

However, Zhou Yu saw that Liu Qi's army had a lot of soldiers and horses in the city, and the number was probably no less than thirty or forty thousand, so he couldn't help but sink in his heart, and secretly thought that he was afraid that the Huiji of the lord Sun Quan had been broken, so he sighed long.

Not long after, I heard a report from my own soldiers: "Qiyu Governor, General Huang is back, saying that he has something important to see the Governor." ”

Zhou Yu was stunned, and thought that Huang Gai had already taken refuge in Liu Qi, and when he came to see him this time, he must have persuaded himself to surrender, but he knew that if he continued to resist like this, it would make no sense except to bring more disasters to the people.

So Zhou Yu ordered his own soldiers to let Huang Gai in.

After a while, Huang Gai said with a guilty face: "The last general Huang Gai will see the Metropolitan Governor, and after a few months, the Metropolitan Governor will not be harmed?" ”

Zhou Yu sneered: "At the beginning, Old General Huang kept saying that he would be loyal to the lord, why is he here today?" Could it be that after being captured, the enemy army was not strictly guarded and fled back by himself? ”

Huang Gai sighed and said softly: "It's not a secret, the last general now belongs to General Zhennan, in fact, since the last general was captured in Hulin, he has decided to rather die than surrender, but it is all blamed on the last general's greed, and there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that after the lord defeats the enemy army in the future, he will save the last general, or find a way to redeem the last general, but the last general did not expect that the last general was waiting for the news that the lord was defeated and captured, and then the lord wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender, so that the last general and others would stay for the promising body, Contribute his talents to the world's society, and finally have no choice but to surrender. ”

Although he had been mentally prepared, after hearing the news of Sun Quan's capture with his own ears, Zhou Yu's face still changed greatly, and then he asked tremblingly: "Is the lord still here?" ”

After the last general was captured, the situation in Wanling fell into an unprecedented crisis, the lord hurriedly sent Danyang and Wu Jun two soldiers and horses to the rescue, but unexpectedly both soldiers and horses were ambushed by the Zhennan general, Danyang Taishou Wu Jing, the general Sun Yu unfortunately died, Zhu Zhi of Wu County was also defeated and returned, but unexpectedly Wu County was suddenly attacked by Lu Xun's army stationed in Niuzhu, Zhu Zhi was forced to surrender under the enemy, and accepted Lu Xun Jianyì, respected Wu Hou as the patriarch of the Sun clan, and denounced the crime of the lord. And after that, Danyang County Lieutenant Concubine Lan and County Cheng Dai responded to Wu Hou and killed the new Danyang County Guard, the third prince Sun Yi, and then Lu Xun used a plan to separate the concubine and Dai two thieves, and then led the army to Moling, and the concubine was killed by the design of the third prince's wife, and the lady saw that Lu Xun was powerful, so she surrendered. ”

Huang Gai sighed and continued: "After Lu Xun concentrated the army of Danyang, Wujun and Zhuji, and stormed Shanyin, the lord was defeated, and he had already had the will to die, but he was persuaded by Liu Qi and decided to persuade us to surrender, but he set off for Xiangyang, and met Mrs. Gu and Wu Hou on the way to Shanyin to pick up the old lady, and admitted the crime of killing his brother, but because of his sincere attitude, he got the understanding of their mother and son, but the old lady refused to live with the lord, and the lord moved to Xiangyang to settle down under the cry, and since then he has lived in a simple place and accepted concubines, If there are no accidents, it is estimated that this will be the end of life. ”

Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard this, although he had already guessed that it should be possible for Sun Quan to assassinate Sun Ci, but he never wanted to believe it in his heart, or he didn't dare to believe it, but he didn't expect that in the end, the iron-like fact was still in front of him, so he had to believe it.

"Actually, this time the last general came here on behalf of General Zhennan, mainly because ......"

"Don't say it, Ben will know that it must be the lord who wrote a letter to persuade me to surrender. Hehe, public reply, is there any other choice for this matter? Ben will agree to that's it. You go to tell General Sù Zhennan that tomorrow at noon, Ben will be waiting outside the South City Gate. ”

"Since the Metropolitan Governor is so happy, then the last general will not say more, and the last general will retire." Huang Gai arched his hand to Zhou Yu, and then called Zhou Yu the letter of persuasion written by Liu Qi, and then turned to leave.

Just about to get out of the big tent, Huang Gai suddenly turned his head and said to Zhou Yu: "If the last general has this talent, he will be worshiped by General Zhennan as General Jianwei. ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think that I have made a name for myself by taking refuge in Liu Qi?" No, I'm just trying to keep the city full of soldiers and civilians, and then I'll follow Bo Fu underground. ”
