Chapter 1118
Zhao Guangyi was captured alive by Xia Luqi, and Shangqiu City was decided without a fight.

That night, Xia Luqi sent a letter to Liu Bian, saying that Zhao Guangyi had been captured alive and would surrender in Kaesong tomorrow.

In the camp of the Han army, Liu Bian held the letter sent by Xia Luqi in his hand, and happily said to the generals under his command: "Haha, Pengju, your strategy really worked. Will open the city and surrender!"

Yang Miaozhen cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, could this be Zhao Guangyi's plan to feign surrender, to attack our army suddenly while we are unprepared?"

Liu Bian shook his head and said: "It should be impossible, after all, it is difficult for soldiers and horses in the city to be evil against Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Guangyi has become a frightened bird, he only dares to garrison the city, how can he have the courage to use the trick of feigning surrender?

But don't be afraid of [-], just in case, everything must be well planned, if Xia Luqi escorts Zhao Guangyi out of the city tomorrow, our army can enter the city.On the contrary, if Zhao Guangyi does not show up, our army will not be able to enter the city, so as not to be ambushed! "

"No!" The generals bowed their hands and took orders.

The next day comes.

Early in the morning, Xia Luqi, Hu Yanzan and other generals in the city ordered to open the city gate, and Xia Luqi did not intend to test Liu Bian's courage.Instead, Zhao Guangyi was directly sent to the army to show his sincerity.

"Criminal Xia Luqi, Hu Yanzan pays homage to His Majesty!" Liu Bian led the generals to urge them to go forward, Xia Luqi, Hu Yanzan and other generals knelt down and bowed to Liu Bian.

"You don't need to be too polite, get down quickly!" Seeing that Zhao Guangyi had been escorted out, Liu Bian sincerely surrendered to Xia Luqi and the others in his heart, so he quickly got off his horse and helped them up.

Zhao Guangyi, who was tied up at the side, was burning with anger, and couldn't help scolding: "Xia Luqi, Huyan praises you two villains who sell you for glory, I treat you well, and you dare to betray me, you don't have to!" A good death, not a good death."

The two were so scolded by Zhao Guangyi that they didn't dare to speak back. Liu Bian took a look at Zhao Guangyi and said loudly: "Listen to me, soldiers who surrendered. Now you surrender voluntarily. For everything in the past, I don't blame the past. I only punish Zhao Guangyi, the leader of the bandit. "

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The soldiers who surrendered heard that Liu Bian would not pursue their past mistakes, and they all shouted long live.

Huge cheers overwhelmed Zhao Guangyi's insults, Zhao Guangyi's face turned livid, and he hesitated and couldn't swear anymore.

Liu Bian sneered and said to Zhao Guangyi: "Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi, when Yuan Shu was defeated, several people were buried for him. Look at you, this is the lord. The soldiers under his command want to eat your flesh and sleep on your skin!"

"You..." Zhao Guangyi's face was livid, and he was about to retort.

But Liu Bian turned his head to Xia Luqi and asked, "Where is Zhao Pu, Zhao Guangyi's mastermind? Why didn't he come to pay his respects?"

Xia Luqi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, after we captured Zhao Guangyi last night, we went to find Zhao Pu and found that he had committed suicide in his room."

Zhao Guangyi laughed suddenly and said: "Hahaha, who said that no one died for me, isn't that true?"

Liu Bian glanced at Zhao Guangyi contemptuously, and said sarcastically, "Did Zhao Pu die for Zhao Kuangyin or for you? Don't you have any idea? Take him down, it's annoying!"

Zhao Guangyi was taken down, Xu Chu and Jing Si looked at each other, then walked out with cupped hands, and said, "Your Majesty, there will be an unfeeling request at the end!"

Liu Bian looked at the two and said, "For Zhao Pu? Xia Luqi, take them to restrain Zhao Pu's body!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Chu and Jing Si were overjoyed, and thanked with cupped hands.

Liu Bian helped the two of them up, placed Xu Chu's shoulders and said, "I'll give you a holiday. For half a month, you can take Zhao Pu's body to Yanzhou for burial, and you can bury it with the rites of a marquis!"

The two were immediately grateful, and bowed down again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian helped the two of them up again, and said helplessly, "Okay, don't kneel down, hurry up and collect Zhao Pu's body!"

"The last general is gone!" The two bowed their hands and retreated.

Xia Luqi and Hu Yanzan looked at each other, their eyes were full of envy, Xu Chu, Jing Si has been with Liu Bian for a long time, and the monarch and his ministers have such deep feelings.Looking at Zhao Guangyi, they have followed Zhao Guangyi for so long, and they have never seen Zhao Guangyi treat them like this.

Liu Bian patted Xia Luqi and Huyanzan's shoulders, and said: "Xia Luqi, Huyanzan, you are the fierce generals of the world, as long as you serve me faithfully, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Xia Luqi, Hu Yanzan quickly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian nodded and asked, "Well, what is your relationship with Li Jilong, the general in Xuzhou?"

Hu Yanzan cupped his hands and said: "Li Jilong and I have joined Zhao Guangyi together, and the relationship is not bad!"

Liu Bian said with satisfaction: "Well, now that Yuzhou has been pacified, you can write to Li Jilong in Xuzhou to ask him to surrender, and I promise that the past will not be blamed."

Hu Yanzan cupped his hands and said, "I'll write a letter when I get back!"

At this moment, a cavalryman rushed over and shouted: "Your Majesty, good news from Xuzhou!"

Liu Bian hurriedly said, "Oh? Come on!"

The cavalry handed in the letter, Liu Bian saw it, and said to Hu Yanzan overjoyed, "I originally wanted you to write a letter of surrender to Li Jilong, but it seems unnecessary, Xuzhou has been pacified."

Sha Luqi quickly asked: "Then I don't know Li Jilong...?"

Liu Bian explained to the generals:
"Chen Qingzhi led the troops from Langya to the south and approached the pi of Xuzhou. Qi Jiguang offered a plan to attack with water. About the same time as Xie Xuan defeated Zhou Yu, there was also a heavy rain in Xuzhou. Chen Qingzhi dug Sishui and submerged the pi. Li Jilong in the city had already surrendered. Yu Jin who was stationed in Pengcheng was unable to support himself, so he also surrendered, and Xuzhou has also been calmed down at this moment."

Yang Yansi shouted: "That's great. In this way, we have pacified Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou in the past six months. Only Yangzhou is left in the world, and Yizhou is still undecided!"

Liu Bian said with a smile: "Today is a day of great joy. The general has all the wine and meat, let's celebrate!"

Sha Luqi cupped his hands and said, "Please, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian nodded and followed Xia Luqi into the city.

Then Liu Bian hosted a banquet to celebrate the pacification of the three prefectures of Yan, Xu and Henan.For a while, the whole Shangqiu was full of excitement, and even Zhao Jun who surrendered was allotted wine and meat.

The banquet lasted until late at night.

Early the next morning, Liu Bian summoned civil servants and generals to discuss matters.

His Highness is full of talents.

Some were from the capital, some were from Jizhou, some were from Jingzhou, and there were talents who surrendered in Yuzhou.

Liu Bian said to the generals: "Now Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou have all been pacified. Because the three states are bankrupt and unable to support our army to attack, I plan to rest and recuperate. When the strength of the three states recovers, I will attack Yangzhou and completely pacify Jiangdong. .So I plan to make a plan, what do you guys have to say?"
