In Chang'an City, good news spread frequently. Chai Rong defeated Zhao Kuangyin and Duke Zhuang of Lu in Lu, captured hundreds of military generals alive, obtained countless soldiers and horses, killed more than 100,000 enemy troops, made great achievements, and completely pacified Lu.

Han Qinhu and He Ruobi competed for merit. In the battle of Lu, the two of them rushed to the forefront. Zhang Hua promoted Han Qinhu to become the general of the cavalry and He Ruobi to become the general of the Fenwei.

Chai Rong was promoted to General Pingdong, and his performance was remarkable for generals such as Lin Renzhao and Zhang Yongde.

In particular, Lin Renzhao led hundreds of Southern Tang dead soldiers to sneak into the Lu State's headquarters from the water cave. Among thousands of troops, he captured Duke Zhuang of Lu alive, which was unbearable. Therefore, Zhang Hua named Lin Renzhao the general of Tiger Power.

All the generals who participated in this battle were rewarded.

More than a hundred captive generals were on their way to Chang'an. If they absorbed talents from Song and Lu, then the plan to attack Qin after the beginning of spring would have more chances of winning.

In addition, if Chai Rong's army pacified the Lu State, it could invade Qi State and work with Zhuge Liang and Li Ji to pacify Qi State.

Half of the land of Qi and Lu have been incorporated into Zhang Hua's territory, and the other half is the sphere of influence of Western Chu.

"Zhao Kuangyin is first-class in command, force, or political skills. After all, he was the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, and ended the era of frequent changes in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms... If Zhao Kuangyin was to be launched, the risk would be too great."

Chai Rong captured Zhao Kuangyin alive, and Zhang Hua was really not able to appoint Zhao Kuangyin.

Qin Emperor and Han Wu, Tang Emperor and Song Zu, Genghis Khan.

As Song Zu, Zhao Kuangyin has balanced abilities, which is also a common main panel.

"Forget it, let's detain Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi brothers for the time being. At present, there is no shortage of such two generals..."

Zhang Hua considered the risks that might be faced by appointing Zhao Kuangyin, and had already decided on Zhao Kuangyin's fate before he met him.

As for whether to use Zhao Kuangyin in the future, that is what happened in the future.

Zhang Hua kept Zhao Kuangyin's life, and maybe he still had value in use in the future.

At this time, Zhang Hua was already a little impatient to recruit prisoners from Lu and Song, especially among these prisoners, there was Gongshu Ban, the founder of craftsmen.

Hundreds of famous generals were detained in prison vans and entered Chang'an City. The people in Chang'an City were in full swing!

Zhang Hua sent troops from the Eastern Expedition to pacify Lu State, and the good news was returned, and the people's hearts rose.

Among the hundreds of generals captured alive, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, Cao Gui and Gao Huaide, all of them are famous!

Especially Emperor Taizu of Song and Emperor Taizong of Song, they were the two emperors in front of the Song Dynasty.

The people from the Song Dynasty were unbelievable.

Zhang Hua's generals actually captured the two emperors alive.

Kings, princes, generals and ministers, wouldn’t they have any seeds?

Zhang Hua's forces, Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, Lu You and others were in a complicated mood.

The two emperors of the Song Dynasty where they lived became prisoners of the ranks.

Zhang Hua recruited these prisoners in the imperial guards' camp.

"Zhao Kuangyin, we meet again. But this time, I haven't taken action personally yet. You have been defeated, are you convinced?"

Zhang Hua knew that among the more than 100 famous generals, Zhao Kuangyin was the strongest.

Even Zhao Kuangyin's former lord Chai Rong spent the best efforts to defeat Zhao Kuangyin with the help of Han Qinhu and He Ruobi.

When Zhang Hua first played against Zhao Kuangyin, he still used Zhao Kuangyin's unaware that Chai Rong was playing under his tent, so he asked Chai Rong to come forward and use his scheming to shake Zhao Kuangyin's Song soldiers' hearts, and thus defeated Zhao Kuangyin.

This is a pretty tough opponent.

There may be only a few emperors with stronger abilities than Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "Victory and defeat are common affairs of military affairs. Since I have been defeated, I will be left to deal with it and will never complain."

"I am willing to serve in my heart, just to restore our brothers' freedom!"

Zhao Guangyi is still young and is eager to plead with Zhang Hua.

He didn't want to live a life of a prisoner who was dark and terrible.

"Zhao Guangyi..."

Zhang Hua had heard of Zhao Guangyi's reputation, but of course it was a bad reputation.

In the Battle of Gaoliang River, Zhao Guangyi was defeated by Yelu Xiuge's Khitan cavalry and fled in a donkey cart. He was known as the "God of Sorghum River Cart"...

In addition, Zhao Guangyi always believed in the Pingrong Wanquan Formation he invented.

Compared with Zhao Da, Zhao Er's military ability is more than a little worse, but Zhao Er is good at playing power and has good political ability.

Zhao Guangyi is not a foolish monarch. Compared with his descendants, Zhao Guangyi has been actively expeditioning the Northern Han throughout his life, destroying the Northern Han Dynasty, and has tried many times to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Unfortunately, Zhao Guangyi has ambitions, but his military capabilities are not enough...

Zhang Hua turned his attention to Zhao Pu, the military advisor of Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Pu claimed that he "half the Analects of Confucius ruled the world", which can be said that Zhao Kuangyin's Wang Zuo participated in major events such as the Chenqiao Mutiny and the release of military power with a cup of wine, and it is very likely that he was one of the driving forces behind it.

Zhao Pu was equivalent to Zhao Kuangyin and Xun Yu was equivalent to Cao Cao.

Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Murong Yanzhao, Bi Zaihui and other military generals were all famous generals for a while.

There is no problem using these generals.

Duke Zhuang of Lu's face turned pale. His king of the country became a prisoner under the ranks, and all three brothers died tragically, which can be said to be extremely unlucky.

But this is also related to Duke Zhuang of Lu allowing three brothers to take over the power of Lu.

"The famous general Cao Gui, who made a concerted effort, as well as the three tiger generals of Lu, Shulianghe, Di Xumi, and Qin Jinfu, if I forgive Duke Zhuang of Lu, are you willing to serve me?"

Zhang Hua extended an olive branch to the generals of Lu.

In addition to the most famous generals of Lu, there are dozens of noble generals in Lu, but they are not very famous.

"Since Lu no longer exists, I am willing to become an official."

Cao Gui had enough of the three Shangqings of Lu State to drag him down. Since Lu State was destroyed, Cao Gui could join the Xia army with justification and use his talents.

Cao Gui was beaten by Chai Rong for no reason and was unable to display his abilities, so he was very unwilling to accept it.

At least after surrendering to Zhang Hua, Cao Gui will no longer be pointed at by a group of useless nobles on his head.

"We are willing to become an official to protect the life of the king!"

The three tiger generals of Lu State were muffled and had little thought.

These three people are not generals, but brave generals of Xu Chu and Dian Wei type. They have very high military strength, but the commander may not be very high.

The most famous general in the commander-in-chief of Lu State was Cao Gui, who was good at military tactics.

In order to win over the people of Lu, Zhang Hua did not throw Duke Zhuang of Lu, who was lacking the ability to lead troops, into the Heavenly Prison, but deposed it as a commoner.

Since then, the State of Lu no longer exists.

Zhao Kuangyin was much more dangerous than Duke Zhuang of Lu. He became emperor not by blood, but by his own ability. Zhang Hua could not directly release Zhao Kuangyin.

"Our Gongshu class is willing to serve the king."
