Chapter 131: Drop the table

The city was in chaos, and Guo Shao could not quite figure out which part was where. However, he couldn't figure out that the chief general of the Tang army might have lost control of the army. During the melee, there were many surrenders in the Southern Tang army, and the overall situation was determined. In ancient times, especially civil wars, street fighting was not so easy. After losing the formation, he relied on the control of subordinates of the lower-level generals.

All the Southern Tang troops guarding the East City surrendered. When Guo Shao heard that Lu Mengjun was dead, he went to watch with Luo Mengzi and others.

Walking up the city tower, I saw a group of surrendered soldiers who had thrown their weapons lying on the ground. A corpse was lying on a wooden stand. When Guo Shao walked up, he couldn't help but gently cover his nose with his fingers, and a stinking stinking came to his face.

I saw that the corpse was burned all over, his face was dark and blurred so that his facial features could not be distinguished. He was wearing the general's clothes and armor.

At this moment, Guo Shao found a sword next to the body, and reached out and grabbed it. When he pressed the spring, a clear sword light that looked like water popped up. Guo Shao looked happy, pulled out the sword, took his nails and gently stroked the sword, and immediately cut off a small piece of his nails. He couldn't help but praise: "What a sword, what a sharp sword!"

The generals congratulated Guo Shao on obtaining the sword.

But Guo Shao still felt something was wrong. How could a general be burned out of recognition? If Lu Mengjun personally rushed to the front line, would all the Tang soldiers run around?

He immediately deceived: "This person is definitely not Lu Mengjun! Where is Lu Mengjun?"

No one answered, Guo Shao thought for a while and said, "The surrendered soldiers on the city tower remained still, whoever moved to kill whom! Go and call Wang Chong (a general of the Southern Tang Army's mutiny)."

At this moment, a surrendered soldier kowtowed and said, "Give up your life! Marshal Guo spares your life, and the last general is Lu Mengjun..."

Suddenly, the surrendered soldiers of the Southern Tang army around him looked at each other, and some people showed anger. Lu Mengjun should have been very cruel to his subordinates, but unexpectedly, he was so greedy and afraid of death... The surrendered soldiers were disappointed.

Guo Shao still called Wang Chong, and as soon as he recognized it was Lu Mengjun. So he asked his personal soldiers to tie them up alone. Lu Mengjun kept saying: "I am willing to join the Great Zhou army and be in front of the command of General Guo!" But Guo Shao ignored it.

Suddenly, Chai Kehong was surrounded by Gao Huaide in the South City. Guo Shao hurried down the city tower and led his personal soldiers out of the city and rushed to the South City. Because the city was still in chaos, there were fires everywhere, so he could not take the shortcut.

In a similar scene as Shouzhou, Chai Kehong is sitting directly south of the city, and there is no place to go at this time. Chai Kehong is a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Guo Shao rushed over just to see the style.

Gao Huaide was here too. He did not order the army to attack the Nancheng City Tower, but the city gate was already open and the Zhou army was all inside and outside.

Guo Shao rode his horse to the city, raised his head and narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Chai Kehong at the top of the city. He found that he was a very young general, not a few years older than Guo Shao. Chai Kehong was a famous general after all, and he had a much different temperament than Lu Mengjun. He stood there calmly without avoiding at all. However, no Zhou army soldiers shot him with arrows.

The smoke rolled in the wind, and Guo Shao suddenly felt the despair in the hearts of the general who was not much different from him. The feeling of success, defeat, failure should not be so pleasant!

Luo Mengzi shouted immediately: "General Chai Kehong, come down and surrender quickly! Liu Renzhan did not defend his elder brother's attack in Shouzhou. He is still fine now, and my elder brother will not treat you badly."

Guo Shao thought about it and greeted Luo Mengzi, "Don't persuade him, let him go."

Chai Kehong suddenly shouted loudly: "I was not defeated! It was his subordinates who harmed me, not that I was inferior to others in military service!" After he said that, he suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly.

Guo Shao looked back and said, "Liu Renzhan can be tolerated; Chai Kehong cannot be forgiven, so he dare not surrender... The national destiny of the Southern Tang Kingdom, the morale of the Tang army, and the hopes of Huainan were placed on him, and it collapsed so quickly; such a young man carried too heavy things, he could not bear it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Kehong stared at the west-facing sun for a long time with great nostalgia... His eyes were full of dust, which made Guo Shao's heart tight.

"I'm not defeated!" he shouted, and his body suddenly leaned forward.

"Bang!" Guo Shao felt his heart tremble.

...

Chai Kehong died in Haozhou, and he was responsible for too much responsibility for the Southern Tang Kingdom. He blamed him for what deserves him and what should not be deserved.

Not long after, the Sizhou Navy General led more than 300 warships to surrender to Hantong. The Sizhou garrison Fan Zai met the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and said that his family was in Jinling. He allowed him to secretly take out his family and surrender. Chai Rong approved the report.

Han Tong led the navy to Chuzhou, and the Southern Tang Army general Guo Tingwei led his troops to surrender. The Chuzhou garrison Zhang Yanqing defended the death, but was trapped in the city and could not be afraid. Soon after, Han Tong's navy entered the canal from Chuzhou and approached the river.

Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin led their troops to attack Xiong and Tai. The two cities guards heard that Chai Kehong of Haozhou was defeated and went out of the city to gather troops to fight. They were defeated by Zhao Kuangyin. The general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Jingda, had just crossed the river and wanted to reinforce Huainan. He heard that many places had fallen, and the Zhou navy immediately entered the river and led his troops back.

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty set up the palace outside Haozhou City, and soon waited for the surrender of Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Guo Shao and other generals witnessed the surrender ceremony of the Southern Tang Kingdom in the palace: the envoy Liu Chengyu knelt down and offered a surrender. Li Jing claimed to be the lord of the Southern Tang Kingdom in the book, gave up the title of emperor, and sought to cut off all fourteen states and sixty counties north of the river, and paid hundreds of thousands of property from the Zhou Dynasty court every year. The Southern Tang Dynasty asked for surrender, begging Chai Rong not to cross the river and beat him again.

It was the twelfth month of the second year of Xiande, and the Huainan War lasted for more than half a year. Chai Rong mobilized almost all the Zhou Dynasty's troops to hundreds of thousands.

Chai Rong's face showed a nearly morbid red light, and the ministers and generals around him looked happy. Chai Rong said, "I promised the request of the Lord of Southern Tang. Go back and tell the Lord of Southern Tang that you can enthrone the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, and I will treat him well."

The envoy retreated and waited for the emperor's edict from the Zhou Dynasty.

Chai Rong couldn't wait to reward and deploy the meritorious soldiers. There were many generals who died in battle, but more were promoted. There were too many people, and Guo Shao couldn't remember them, so he only paid extra attention to those who had something to do with him on the spot.

Guo Shao was promoted to the commander of the guard Sima Budu Yuhou, and was still in charge of the Zhongwu Jiedu, Xuzhou; Gao Huaide served as the commander of the Infantry Commander of the Guards and Jianjiedu; Chai Gui was appointed as the commander of the right wing of the Hu Jiejun Army. Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin were already the inspectors of the front palace and the commander of the front palace respectively, and the military position was not promoted. Li Chongjin was still in charge of the commander of the guards and was also appointed as the chief inspector of the inspector of the Huainan Jiedu (Guo Shao felt that the latter two positions seemed to be useless). Han Tong was appointed as the deputy commander of the guards and Shi Yanchao was transferred to the front palace to serve as the commander of the front palace.

Others were the transfer of middle-level military generals approved by the Privy Councilor. Guo Shao's relatively close subordinates Li Chuyun, Luo Yanhuan, Yang Biao, and Wang Zhang were all promoted to the commander of the military commander (all in the left wing). It turned out that some of the military generals in the left wing were transferred to the right wing. Luo Mengzi and Deng Fei led the Du Yuhou of the army, and Luo Mengzi was still in charge of Guo Shao's personal command.

Lu Mengjun's legs were not tied up, and he was let go and screamed and turned around and wanted to run away, but his feet were tripped gently by his personal soldiers, and he fell to his mouth and chewed the mud, and his pain screamed like a pig.

"I had to! I had to torture and insult someone like that..." Yang's face was pale, and his arms were trembling violently after seeing the blood, but he still gritted his teeth and stabbed them.
