In this way, Li Tong went to Huang Xu's side with Jiang Wan.

After meeting Huang Xu, Li Tong presented the land, population, and household records of Langling County under his command and the ferries, villages, and townships around the Huaihe River to show his loyalty.

After Huang Xu scanned it for a while, he didn't look at it again, because he knew that with Li Tong's current situation, he was in no mood to lie in this regard, and there was no need to lie.

"Brother Li is so responsive to His Majesty's new policy and is willing to give up the land and disciples that he has ruled for many years. Huang is deeply gratified. Don't worry, I will immediately go to His Majesty and express Brother Li's loyal and patriotic act to the Emperor."

Your Majesty is making a report. Your Majesty is the wise master of the world, and you will be rewarded for your merits. I am afraid that Brother Li will receive a big reward this time."

Li Tong hurriedly said: "It is Li's duty to be loyal to the country. Whether it is a big reward or not, it is not important to Li... By the way, Mr. Huang Fu, I heard that Your Majesty is in Xiangyang now.

, but is it true?”

The corner of Huang Xu's mouth raised slightly: "Fake?"

"Oh." Li Tong's face immediately showed disappointment.

But soon, I heard Huang Xuyan say: "Your Majesty is in Jiangling now."

Li Tong's spirit suddenly lifted again: "Then could you trouble me to take me to Jiangling to see your Majesty?"

Huang Xu shook his head and said: "Wenda, Huang was ordered by His Majesty to come to Langling to collect the land gangsters, re-register the household registration, and arrange the distribution of new fields. He can't leave for a while. If you believe me,

See Your Majesty, I will send someone to take you to see Your Majesty, how about that?"

When Li Tong heard this, he felt a little confused. It seemed that the disciples in his hands still had soldiers, and he was afraid that he would have to hand them over. There would be no relief at all.

But now, what can be done? This is an inevitable result and cannot be changed by his own willpower.

At that moment, Li Tong agreed to Huang Xu's request, and then under the guidance of Huang Xu's men, he went to Jiangling to meet Liu Qi.

When Liu Qi met Li Tong, his first words were: "Wenda has been wronged."

In his mind, Li Tong had already simulated dozens of situations and methods on how to start his meeting with Liu Qi, but he never expected that Liu Qi would say such a thing when he saw him.

To be honest, Li Tong felt aggrieved and aggrieved, but in the face of the power of the Han Emperor, he had to bow his head.

"Your Majesty... I will not be wronged."

"Hey, there are some things that are right and right. For example, in the world of Han Dynasty, when the New Deal is implemented, all tribes in various places cannot have a place where they can do special things. They share the land with each other and force the Han Dynasty. This is the law of nature, right reason, and axiom. There is no

There is room for negotiation... But in order to realize this axiom, people like Wenda have indeed sacrificed too much... This Langling County and the surrounding areas of the Huaihe River are your foundation, and you have worked hard here for many years.

, I can fully understand the gap and discomfort in my heart now that I have to hand you over to my father-in-law."

After listening to Liu Qi's words, Li Tong's nose felt a little sore. He really didn't expect Liu Qi to say such words.

To be honest, Li Tong was full of grievances and complaints when he came. In fact, he wanted to have a good relationship with his wife today, but Liu Qi comforted him in this way, which actually made him embarrassed to speak.

Li Tong held it in for a long time, but couldn't say a word. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

Liu Qi waved to Li Tong and said, "Sit down!"

Li Tong immediately responded and sat down below Liu Qi with a look of helplessness.

"I know that you have been wronged. For the great cause of the resurgence of the Han Dynasty, your hard work was taken away by me. But you can understand the general situation, consider the overall situation, and dedicate your disciples and foundation without hesitation. This is

This makes me very admired and extremely pleased."

Li Tong smiled bitterly, and the words Jiang Wan used to persuade him to surrender rang in his mind.

What about 30,000 soldiers, 100,000 soldiers, the overwhelming number of soldiers... Who dares not to understand the general situation and take the overall situation into consideration?

"This is what I should do. It is my duty to be loyal to the great Han."

"I won't treat you badly. Come here and bring me the imperial edict I just drafted yesterday."

Then the young eunuch who served Liu Qi hurriedly presented a piece of exquisite yellow silk to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi smiled and then his face froze.

They ordered Liu Pan and Huang Xu to immediately mobilize troops and generals from Jingzhou and Nanyang. If Li Tong dared to make any dissatisfaction or change, they would immediately conquer Langling County and wipe out Li Tong's entire clan, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.

Standby edict.

Liu Qi's smile only stiffened slightly, then he slowly closed the edict and said to the young eunuch: "Not this one, another one."

The young eunuch was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and hurriedly went to the shelf to get another copy of the imperial edict for Liu Qi.

Liu Qi looked at him with a smile, thinking about how to deal with this little fool who was waiting for him when Li Tong left later.

After opening the imperial edict, Liu Qi briefly looked at it and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Wenda, come here and take a look, I have already drafted the imperial edict."

Li Tong did not dare to neglect and hurriedly stepped forward to take the imperial edict handed to him by Liu Qi.

When he opened it, Li Tong almost shed tears.

The general meaning of the imperial edict is that Li Tong was granted the title of Marquis of Jiangong, the captaincy of Yang'an, and the title of general.

At the same time, among Li Tong's disciples in Langling, the current military soldiers were still unified and organized into a self-contained army, which was handed over to Li Tong. At the same time, his nephews and members of the clan were all arranged by the county office to enter the local area.

Official school, when he matures in the future, he will enter the Imperial College for key cultivation.

For Li Tong, who had made few meritorious deeds, this was simply a great gift.

"I... thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Tong immediately stood up, kowtowed heavily to Liu Qi and fell to the ground.

"If your beloved doesn't let me down, then I won't let you down either. Just take your soldiers and stay with me. Although your beloved is free and able to dominate in Huairu, in the end, he won't be able to take the stage.

I will never be able to reach the top of this world, so I am willing to rule the world with my beloved. As long as my beloved is willing, everything will not be a problem."

"I obey the decree!"

After subduing Li Tong, Liu Qi immediately planned to continue his southern tour and visit Changsha and other places.

But it was at this time that Tian Kai came as Gongsun Zan's envoy, expressing that Gongsun Zan was willing to accept Liu Qi's transfer order and go to Hebei to meet with Zhang Yan as Liu Qi's outpost against Yuan Shao.

On the other side, Cai Xun sent someone to present the heads of Cai Zhong and Cai He.

He said that the actions of the Cai family in enclosing land in Nanyang County were all done by these two people. Today, these two people are specially executed. He also presented the list of all the land and asked your majesty to be generous and spare the Cai family.

The moment he saw the heads of Cai Zhong and Cai He, Liu Qi couldn't help but sigh. Compared to Zhang Yun, Cai Xun seemed to have acted more decisively. If Cai Mao were still alive, he might not be able to do this.

He immediately wrote a letter personally and sent someone to Cai Michu in Luoyang to comfort the queen and let her relax.
