Chengping five years, August 24.

Huang Baichuan killed Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang, gave up Xiangzhou City, retreated to Pinghu County, and asked people to take the heads of Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang and rush to Fengjing, write to the imperial court, and ask for surrender.

August 25.

Qianzhou Jiedu made Wei Wennan lead 10,000 troops, and took Yuezhou, which was empty, without blood, Chenzhou Jiedu made Lu Xianyao lead 8,000 troops and converge with Huang Xu, Gu Yong and Mao Anfu led 15,000 troops, taking advantage of Yang Liecheng's hesitation, they successfully took Ezhou and cut off Yang Liecheng's only way to retreat.

Desperate, Yang Liecheng committed suicide in despair, and his deputy general, led 20,000 defeated troops, laid down his arms, and surrendered to Huang Xu.

Li Xun walked in the barracks, looking at the many soldiers hurrying by, everyone's face was more or less joyful, Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang were killed, Yang Liecheng committed suicide, all the rest surrendered, the battle of Jiangnan, which lasted nearly a month, is finally over.

Li Xun reminisced about everything that happened in this month, and felt that he had experienced too much, which could be described as a series of twists and turns, after several life and death crises, and under the leadership of Huang Xun, he found a glimmer of opportunity from a desperate situation, and finally reversed and pacified Jiangnan, Li Xun couldn't help but think that it was this Huang Xun who was nicknamed a mediocre general, if there was no his existence, what would be the outcome of this battle of Jiangnan?

Thinking about things, Li Xun came to the big tent of Huang Xun, there were many people in it, Liu Congxi, Qin Anming, Zhao Feidu and others all rushed over from Yingzhou, and Zhao Bo'an, Shan Qiu, Mao Anfu and others were also there.

Zhao Baian sat at the top, on either side of him, on one side sat Huang Xuan, and on the other side, there was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a strange face, Li Xun did not know.

Li Xun came to Liu Congxi and sat down, pointed to the strange man, and asked softly, "Brother Liu, who is that person?" ”

Liu Congxi said softly: "This person is Lu Xianyao, the envoy of the Chenzhou Festival, who has just led the army to help in the war. ”

Help? Li Xun sneered in his heart, I'm afraid he came to pick up a ready-made bargain.

"Brother Huang, Huang Baichuan has not yet been resolved, do you think we will march into Xiangzhou and force it to lay down its arms and surrender?"

Lu Xianyao suggested.

Huang Yu smiled and said: "Huang Baichuan sent it to Fengjing with the heads of Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang, please surrender, we still wait for the emperor's edict, and it is not too late to act." ”

Zhao Baian continued on the side: "Huang Baichuan killed Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang, so that Wang Huailie's soldiers took Xiangzhou without blood, it seems that it is also very sincere, we still don't act rashly and wait for the emperor's edict." ”

Lu Xianyao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "That's fine, it's just a little cheap Huang Baichuan's house." ”

Huang Qian and Zhao Baian smiled and didn't say anything more.

Several of them actually know that Wang Huailie now dominates Huainan Province, leaving Huang Baichuan in Caizhou, which is better than directly exterminating him.

Lu Xianyao knew that he was an outsider, and it would be inconvenient for them to speak if he was doing it here, so he said goodbye and left.

Huang Zhi summoned everyone to come today, the meaning is very simple, that is, the war in Jiangnan has ended, he needs to write down the entire war in detail and report it to the imperial court, the most important point is to write the name of the meritorious person, and ask for rewards for meritorious service, this matter requires the consent of Qin Anming and Liu Congxi, and attach his name to the back, otherwise there is only Huang Zhi's separate name, and Zhao Zhi will not sell it.

Liu Congxi took out a roll of yellow cloth from his arms, glanced at Li Xun, handed him the things, and said with a smile: "Brother Dog, I can't write well, so it's up to you to write it." ”

Li Xun took the cloth, was stunned, and hesitated: "You are a prison army, I will write this thing, is it a little inappropriate?" ”

Liu Congxi said politely: "You and I are both prison soldiers, and whoever writes is the same." ”

Since that time in order to help Huang Xun seize the right to send troops, the two broke out a fierce argument, Li Xun and Liu Congxi have almost turned their faces, afterwards, Li Xun did not hold his own identity, showed an arrogant posture, and did not look down on Liu Congxi, took the initiative to find him, eased relations with him, Liu Congxi did not want to stiffen the relationship with Li Xun, so he also took advantage of the steps down, and the relationship between the two seemed more harmonious than before, I have to say that everyone was surprised.

Li Xun thought about it, he had experienced this war very completely, and he was indeed clearer than Liu Congxi about the performance and level of everyone, so this arrangement of gong cloth was written by himself, which could be more accurate.

Li Xun came to the table, lifted the brush, everyone gathered around at this time, looking nervous, at this moment, it is related to the future of everyone, as long as this cloth has their own name, after returning to Fengjing, they will definitely be promoted to knighthood, power and benefit, who doesn't want it?

Li Xun looked at Huang Xun with an inquiry in his eyes, the latter's demeanor was very calm, and he said lightly: "Judge Li has already made a decision in his heart, and there is no need to consult others. ”

Li Xun nodded, pondered for a moment, on the top of the cloth, which represented the first merit, wrote the names of Huang Yi and Zhao Bo'an, and then in the second row, that is, the second merit personnel, wrote the names of Gu Yong, Zhan Tai Jingming, Zhao Feidu, Shan Qiu and other more than ten people, as for the third row, Li Xun did not write, but handed the cloth to Huang Xu, and chuckled: "The whole war is personally commanded and arranged by the general, who has merit, who has had, I think it knows better than me, I know the merits of Gu Yong, these generals, other people, I'm afraid that there will be an omission and I will be said to be unfair, so the rest will be decided by the general himself. ”

After that, Li Xun smiled at Liu Congxi and Qin Anming: "Two adults, what do you think?" ”

Qin Anming glanced at Li Xun deeply, nodded slightly, and did not object, this matter of platoon has nothing to do with him, he also has a cloth in his hand, but the names of the personnel written on it are all those who have performed poorly in this war and will be punished when they go back, among them are the names of Zhao Feidu and Zhan Tai Jingming, but unexpectedly, these two people who are not on the right path with Li Xun were actually written on the platoon cloth by Li Xun, Qin Anming couldn't help but have a deep appreciation for Li Xun, the conviction cloth in his hand, Looks like it's going to be rewritten.

Liu Congxi smiled and said, "I have no opinion. ”

Huang Yu pondered for a moment, nodded, and took the cloth.

Li Xun glanced at everyone and chuckled: "I wrote this cloth of gonggong, I don't know if you have any opinions?" ”

Mao Anfu glanced at Zhao Feidu and the others, frowning, obviously unconvinced, but also said a lot.

Zhan Tai Jingming and the others were overjoyed, and they all bowed their hands and said: "Judge Li's ruling is fair, and we don't have any opinions." ”

The war is over, but Huang Xun still has to stay in Jiangnan for a period of time, and there are many follow-up things that he needs to deal with, but there is nothing to do with Li Xun, the next day, Huang Xun wrote a detailed report on the whole war, and asked Mao Anfu to bring it back to Fengjing, Li Xun returned to Fengjing with Mao Anfu after obtaining Huang Xun's consent.
