The morning sun rises and illuminates the earth, imprinting the blood color all over the ground.

Outside the southern city, 60,000 or 70,000 troops rushed into the battlefield, sweeping tens of thousands of corpses on the ground, and only a few hundred survived.

"Master Hou, Liu Yuan's body has been found, and his son Liu Zhi has escaped." In a group of men, the herald knelt on one knee and reported on the battle.

"Yes, got it." Zhang Shun nodded, turned his gaze to the captives on the other side, looked at one of them, and said with a light smile, "Mo Yang, I didn't expect it to be today, right?" ”

"This is a secret decree of the emperor, you sneak attack at night, despicable and shameless!" Mo Yang waited for Zhang Shun and the others to shout.

"It's unfortunate that we also gave the emperor a secret decree, and now you are already a prisoner of the order, waiting for the emperor to condemn." Zhang Shun didn't look angry.

The two princes Mo Yang and Liu Yuan were extremely powerful in Jiuyou, and now they can be pressed under their feet, and their hearts are really much more comfortable.

Leaving the soldiers to clean up the mess, Zhang Shun and other princes returned to the capital with their captives, and the other princes were also recalled to the palace.

But the emperor did not summon them, and when they arrived outside the Taihe Palace, Gonggong Zhuang walked out with the holy decree, "The holy decree." ”

Hundreds of officials and princes knelt together, and Gong Zhuang recited loudly, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The emperor's grace is vast, the general trend of the nine shadows has been decided, last night's incident, I remember the merits of the princes in the past, and will not be held accountable, I hope that the princes can still follow the teachings and do not commit it again." The foreign prince Liu Yuan connived at his son's rebellion, and the princes of the southern families quickly retracted their troops, and Chen Guang, the commander of the general army, was the general of Zhennan, and went to suppress it. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" After Gonggong Zhuang finished reciting the holy decree, everyone shouted in unison.

Mo Yang knelt aside, hearing this, his face was stunned, this kind of sin will inevitably involve the nine clans, and now the emperor has opened the net and will not be held accountable, this holy decree, the princes are completely without the heart of rebellion, the Mo family and the Liu family have fallen, and the princes of Jiuyou still have any thoughts to rebel.

When the other princes heard this holy decree, they really felt that the emperor's grace was immense, and the two princes Liu Yuan and Mo Yang did not pursue it? If it is placed in any country, how can there be such mercy, the emperor's gentle strategy really accepted the thoughts of all the princes

A month later, Chen Guang went to the south, and all the princes sent troops with all their might, without the slightest slackness, and under the summoning, the army of four or five princes in the south added up to nearly 100,000 people, and all the way to the city of Qiaozhou unimpeded.

Liu Zhi didn't expect that he would end up today, seeing that all the princes were so united and closed their doors.

The city of Qiaozhou was besieged by water, and the army outside the city could not be seen in all directions, so it was not spectacular.

Chen Guang sent someone to the city to put down the words, "The emperor's grace, all the guilt is only this Liu blame, and it has nothing to do with others, the foreign prince Liu Houye, has been buried in the emperor's mausoleum, reciting the merits of the past, if you go out of the city and surrender, you can avoid the death penalty, and others will not be held accountable!" ”

Small with affection, big with courtesy, Chen Guang sent people to call the battle in turn, up to the kindness of parents, down to the future of children, moving with affection, but there is no real meaning of bloody battle, the army is a family, so that Liu Zhi's subordinates have no intention of fighting again, Liu Zhi is helpless, open the city gate, and lead the army to rush out.

Seeing this scene, Chen Guang fought alone and met Liu Zhi, the two rode horses and fought hundreds of times, even up and down, Chen Guang has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he secretly admires in his heart, Liu Zhi is indeed a brave man.

No wonder the emperor repeatedly told him that if he could be captured alive, he should be captured alive, and he should not be killed.

There is a reason for the emperor's intention, Liu Xuan is indeed talented, and he is a family member, in addition to remembering the old love, there is also Liu Xuan's love for talent, he understands that the reason why Nanshang has been stable for several years and rarely commits crimes is that the prince has made great contributions.

The soldiers around shouted and cheered, watching the battle between the two people in the field, the blood was boiling, Chen Guang was what kind of person, when he went out with the emperor to conquer the north and south, the first warrior of Jiuyou, the army he led, won a hundred battles, and was also extremely respected among the princes.

I saw Chen Guang pick out with a shot, Liu Zhi was careless, and was knocked off the horse, Chen Guang looked at Liu Zhi and shouted loudly, "Today's holy dragon is mighty, and all the armies are the people of Jiuyou, how can you have a grudge, let you go back today, and fight again tomorrow, if you don't accept it, fight again the day after tomorrow!" ”

After saying this, Chen Guangce rode away, and the army shouted loudly, "We must win!" ”

Liu Zhi watched the army really retreat, fell silent, and then looked at his army, it was obvious that he had no will to fight, he really didn't know, what the emperor was thinking, after careful calculation, he could be regarded as disobeying the holy order and plotting rebellion, even if there were a hundred more lives, it would not be enough to kill, and even the nine clans would be considered light, why would the emperor be so magnanimous and not be held accountable.

He didn't understand, Chen Guang didn't understand, Liu Yi didn't understand, Mo Yang didn't understand, and the princes from all walks of life didn't understand.

They all think that the current emperor seems to be too kind, and the prince is rebellious, how can he be spared so easily, and it is impossible to put it in any country.

I'm afraid that only Liu Xuan himself knows best about this point, after the court meeting, Liu Xuan knows that these princes actually don't have much antipathy, they are all big people, loyal to the emperor and loyal to the death, how can he ruthlessly let Dejiuyou become a cold-blooded country, everything that values peace and can not see blood, or things that can be resolved peacefully, why use knives and guns.

If you really fight with Liu Xuan, it will not be a trouble that can be solved in one day or two days, under the stalemate of millions of troops, it will take at least two or three months to end the war, and the time of these two or three months is enough to be able to exhaust the already deficit property of Jiuyou, so what strength does he have to resist foreign enemies, although Liu Xuan has not experienced war, but in history, there are not many examples of winning wars without spending a single soldier, and the army under Liu Zhi's hands is the people of Jiuyou, and the two armies are facing each other, and the most efficient way is to use ' Embattled's plan, under both soft and hard, Liu Zhi will lose the support of the people if he does not surrender.

In the end, after Liu Zhi was defeated again the next day, he chose to surrender, the whole army celebrated, and after arranging many matters, he returned to the dynasty with half of the princes' military horses, totaling more than four million.

And Mo Yang was seriously injured, but he lost his two sons in a few days in the capital, and he was physically and mentally exhausted.

After the end of the court meeting, the princes swore allegiance, made up for this year's tribute tax, and solved the deficit of the national treasury
