Later, as Kuang Zhi expected, the Feng State heard that Cen Gao was defeated, and the government and the opposition were frightened, and they were afraid that the Chu State would retaliate. So Cen Gao was beheaded for the crime of rebellion, and sent envoys to Zhongchu with Cen Gao's head and several carts of gold and jade jewelry to ask for guilt.

When the courtiers of the Chu State saw Cen Gao's head, they learned that Kuang Zhi had blocked the army of the Wind Kingdom in Wanchuan City and annihilated nearly 70,000 enemies.

Although Kuang was suspected of dereliction of duty, when Zhongchu was in this crisis, it coincided with such a great victory, and the Manchu Dynasty jubilated, and they all congratulated that the danger of Zhongchu had been solved, and they ignored Kuang's crime of dereliction of duty.

Han Ming also received the news as soon as possible, and a stone stuck in his heart finally landed. Now only the trouble of Gong Xingbo remains.

After Zhang Dabiao was defeated, Han Ming transferred Feng Yu to exterminate Gong Xingbo.

Han Ming was not prepared to let him go this time, and was determined to leave Gong Xingbo in the land of Zhongchu forever. To this end, he specially seconded 20,000 people from Feng Xu.

Feng Yu led the army and traveled all the way to the starry night, but he did not go straight to Cloud City, but made a circle and stationed in Cloud Valley, which was not far from Cloud City.

Cloud Valley is a valley in the southwest of Cloud City, much like the valley of Gufengkou.

After Gong Xingbo took Yunzhong, he stationed a large army outside Yunzhong City, forming an angle with Yunzhong City.

At this moment, he was staring at the map of Cloudsdale in the tent.

"Report, General, the reinforcements of the Chu army did not go straight to Yunzhong, but made a detour to Yungu, and now they are stationed in Yungu. "There's a spy coming to report.

"Do you see who the reinforcements are?" Gong Xingbo asked.

"Banner word. The spy replied.

"Good. ”

Gong Xingbo breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the reinforcements were Han Ming, after all, Gu Liang Yangbo, whom he admired the most, was defeated in the hands of Han Ming, the shadow of the famous tree, he was more or less afraid of Han Ming, and when he learned that the person who came was not Han Ming, Gong Xingbo was relieved.

"If you explore again, you must find out the specific situation of the Chu army. Gong Xingbo ordered.

"Ordered. ”

Gong Xingbo learned of Feng Yu's movements and immediately led his troops to Yungu.

He led the troops with strict discipline, and the orders were forbidden, and the soldiers did not dare to disobey in the slightest. This also made the Chen army, from the generals to the soldiers, orderly and strong. This is also an important reason why Gong Xingbo was able to defeat Liu Zhixian and Zhang Dabiao in one battle.

Gong Xingbo was rushing to Yungu with half of the soldiers and horses, and according to the report from the spies ahead, the Chu army was building a fire in Yungu.

This is a good opportunity, and Gong Xingbo will definitely not let it go. He decided to advance with his whole army in order to raid the Chu army and defeat them while they were eating.

"The order was given, and the whole army marched lightly and at great speed. ”

After Gong Xingbo gave the order, it didn't take long for Chen's army to arrive in Cloud Valley.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yu had already prepared, and as soon as Gong Xingbo's army arrived, before he had time to make adjustments, he would face Feng Yu's army head-on.

Long before Gong Xingbo arrived, Feng Yu received the news that the Chu army was in full array, and as soon as the Chen army arrived, before the formation began, Feng Yu led the white horse guard to kill him immediately.

Bai Ma Wei is a light cavalry formed by Feng Yu, and he shines when he sneaks into the county. The brothers Liang Yong and Gu Liangwu of the Battle Valley, saving grain, and later surrounding Liang Yangbo in the valley, Bai Mawei showed his skills all the way, and played a good reputation among Chen and Chu, and his prestige was unmatched for a while.

People say that Feng Yu's White Horse Guard and Zhang Dabiao's Flame Camp are the two sharp swords in Han Ming's hands.

This time, Feng Yu took Bai Mawei on the battlefield and waited for Gong Xingbo to arrive, which Gong Xingbo never expected.

By the time Bai Mawei rushed in front of Gong Xingbo, Chen Jun, who had been marching for a long time, had no heart to fight. From the moment he first saw Feng Yu's military formation, Gong Xingbo knew that the victory or defeat on the battlefield had been decided.

The White Horse Guards roared and rushed up, and Gong Xingbo fought and retreated under the wings of the guards. In Feng Yu's assault, Chen's army was crushed with one blow

The Chen army was pursued by the Chu army for a hundred miles, and Gong Xingbo withdrew from the battlefield with great strength with the courage of the guards.

After gathering the remnants of the army, he knew that he could not continue to fight, so he decided to gather his manpower, retreat to Cloud City, meet with the defenders of Cloud China, and hold on to Cloud City to wait for rescue.

But by the time he made that decision, it was already too late.

Feng Yu led people to garrison Yungu in order to lure Gong Xingbo over. When Gong Xingbo and Feng Yu were fighting, Han Ming had already secretly led an army of 50,000 to capture Yunzhong, and then surrounded Gong Xingbo in three ways.

If Gong Xingbo hadn't fought Feng Yu at the beginning, he might have been able to retreat, but now he has suffered heavy losses, his men are all remnants of the defeated army, and Cloud City has been taken again, and he is extremely embarrassed, the hero is in the twilight, the strong man is at a low point, and there is no escape.

Gong Xingbo is surrounded on all sides, and it is already a desperate situation at the moment, but Gong Xingbo is very tenacious.

When Han Ming personally led a large army to surround him, he still led his soldiers to charge, wanting to break through the encirclement, but his strength was too small to break through the encirclement.

In fact, if he knew that Han Ming had arranged three lines of defense inside and outside in order to trap him, he might have despaired, but in the current situation, he was afraid that he would not even be able to break through the first line of defense, and he would no longer be able to witness the last two lines of defense.

In the end, Gong Xingbo was forced to the Falling Star Valley by Han Ming, and with the Chen army's dozens of charges to no avail, the entire Chen army's camp was filled with a depressed atmosphere, although Gong Xingbo had the will to fight, but he knew that he was powerless to return to the sky.

On the second day, Zhang Dabiao personally led his troops to break through the camp of Chen's army and rushed straight to Gong Xingbo's tent. There was no obstacle all the way, and when he stepped into the handsome tent, Zhang Dabiao saw that Gong Xingbo had already killed himself in the handsome tent.

This rising star of Chen Guo's future collapsed in the Falling Star Slope.

After Gong Xingbo's death, Han Ming buried his body, although he was the general of Chen Guo, but Gong Xingbo died on the battlefield and was respected by Han Ming. He drained the last drop of the empire to which he was loyal, which Han Ming admired very much.

Of course, appreciation is appreciation, if you don't get rid of him, and when it becomes the climate in the future, it will definitely be the second Gu Liang Yangbo. At that time, Han Ming was afraid that he would not even be able to sleep well.

The news of Gong Xingbo's death in battle was transmitted back to Chen Guo, and Chen Guo's envoy had no idea of luck, and Wen Cheng's talks were in the upper hand throughout the whole process.

In the end, the conditions stated were very harsh, not only to compensate for the losses caused by Chen to Chu during the war, but also to continue to maintain a trading city, but only to open the city of Jiangzhou. At the same time, Chen Guo's defense in Beiyu County was removed.

Beiyu County is close to Jiangzhou City, which is the gateway between Chen and Chu, and the removal of Beiyu County's defense is equivalent to opening the door of Chen Guo.

These conditions cannot be said to be harsh for Chen Guo, they should be called exploitation, and several times Chen Guo's envoys were so angry that they wanted to leave the table directly. But in the end, there was only one sentence from Wen Cheng: If you don't accept it, you will fight.

Hearing this, the envoy of Chen Guo had no temper.

After this battle, several major families in China have begun to move, and the external troubles have not been settled, and the internal worries have risen again, and Chen Guo seems to be calm, but in fact the waves are turbulent, and if he is not careful, he will never recover.

Under such circumstances, the envoy of Chen had no choice but to reluctantly agree to Wencheng's request. Wen Cheng even heard that after the peace talks, the envoy of Chen Guo was bedridden, and it seemed that he was very angry.

Not long after the peace talks ended, Han Ming rushed to Jiangzhou City, and Wen Cheng and Cui Ying specially set up a table and banquet in the largest restaurant in Jiangzhou City to catch Han Ming's wind.

As soon as she sat down, Cui Ying picked up her wine glass, stood up and said, "The little woman has thanked Han Hussar in advance, as well as Lord Wen and General Feng, if you don't have your help, I'm afraid the loss of my Cui family will be incalculable." ”

After speaking, Cui Ying drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Seeing that Cui Ying was so bold, Han Ming and the others were naturally not sloppy, and raised their heads to drink all the wine in the cup.

Pushing the glass and changing the lamp, after three rounds of wine, everyone was slightly drunk.

"General, I'm a little curious, you said that we all won, why don't you continue to fight?" Zhang Dabiao picked up his wine glass and said drunkly.

Han Ming glanced at him.

"You can drink your own with peace of mind, why are there so many things. ”

Zhang Dabiao still did not stop, and continued: "My lord, if you let me lead the troops, I will guarantee to call you to the capital of Chen Guoguo, so that they will not be able to run one by one, and when the time comes, I will arrest the lord of Chen Guoguo and lead the horse to the general." ”

When everyone heard Zhang Dabiao's words, they laughed. Han Yu also found that Zhang Dabiao had drunk too much, so he hurriedly pulled him down.

When Han Ming heard Zhang Dabiao's nonsense, he felt funny in his heart, but he reminded Han Ming of one thing.

It was getting late, and the banquet was coming to an end, and after eating and drinking, Han Ming separated from everyone.

However, he did not go back to rest, but went straight to the barracks. In order not to let people see that he was drinking, he also went to the river to take a bath, sober and sober, because the military camp is heavy, and it is strictly forbidden to drink.

During this period, there was no glamorous plot, and after taking a shower, I came to the camp.

After Gu Liang Yangbo was captured, he was imprisoned in the barracks by Han Ming.

According to the provisions of the peace talks, Gu Liang Yangbo will not release him until Chen Guo's Gu Liang family comes with the ransom, and it is estimated that it will only be these two days.

For this old General Chen Guoda, Han Ming still has a lot of respect.

After Gu Liang Yangbo was seriously injured by Han Ming on the battlefield, he has been lying in the camp tent to recuperate, although his complexion is still very poor, but he can finally walk on the ground.

Seeing Han Ming's arrival, Gu Liang Yangbo was expressionless, and sat in his seat steadily, even if he was the general of the defeated army, Gu Liang Yangbo still showed an arrogance, nothing else, just his personality.

Han Ming sat down opposite Gu Liang Yangbo, and when he saw that he didn't move, he asked, "General Gu Liang, don't come unharmed." ”

Gu Liang Yangbo did not answer.

"I don't know if I'm doing well in my Chu army's camp, if there is a place where hospitality is not good, you can bear with me. ”

"Something straight to say. Gu Liang Yangbo didn't like to listen to Han Ming's nonsense, so he asked directly.

When Han Ming heard this, he didn't want to talk to him, so he asked straight to the point: "At the beginning, when I led the army to attack Qiongcheng, you could have led the defenders of Gudao and Qiongcheng to fight me, what makes me a little puzzled is, why did you choose to hold on?"

"Moreover, I heard Feng Xu say that when he led the army to fight you, you avoided it and did not fight. ”

Speaking of this, Han Ming's doubts deepened.

"As far as I know, General Gu Liang is known for his offense, what is the reason for you to change your style of play?"

Hearing Han Ming's inquiry, Gu Liang Yangbo didn't want to answer, and after waiting for a while, he suddenly opened his mind, sighed, and said, "Alas, if you are not careful, you will lose everything." ”

Then, he began to talk slowly to Han Ming.

"My Gu Liang family, the largest family in the Chen Kingdom, has power in the government and the opposition, and even the emperor has to look at our faces. But the other two families have been eyeing us, and the two families have joined forces over the years, which has weakened my Gu Liang family a lot. ”

"This time to lead the troops, it was suggested by Li Guo to unite my Chen State and Feng State to attack Chu State together, we discussed, Li Guo attacked first, attracted the attention of the Chu army, and then we and Feng Guo raided from behind to catch you off guard. Gu Liang Yangbo explained.

"I could have led the army to fight the Chu army and others, but sometimes, it is not enough to win. Fighting hard with the Chu army, even if it wins, it will definitely damage the strength of my Gu Liang family, and when the time comes, the momentum of my Gu Liang family will definitely decline. If you can get the maximum benefit at the least cost, you can change the style. ”

"I see, so the reason why you didn't fight a decisive battle with our army in the first place was to wait for the army of the Feng Kingdom and the Li Kingdom to come in, and then force us to retreat and return to help, so that you can take Chu Nan without much effort, and you can also improve the status of your Gu Liang family in the Chen State court. Han Ming suddenly realized.

He has long known that the military does not exist independently, and it will definitely be affected by the politics of the court and the economic strength of the country, but he didn't expect that for Gu Liang Yangbo, politics not only did not become a help, but became a drag, making him shackled.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but fortunately, Kuang Yue trusted him a lot, and was willing to give him the right to let him go and fight, giving him enough support. Presumably, Kuang Yue was under pressure from the ministers above the court.

Listening to Han Ming's words, Gu Liang Yangbo nodded, "That's right, I just didn't expect ......"

"I didn't expect that the army of the Kingdom of Li didn't come, and the army of the Kingdom of Wind didn't move?" Han Ming interrupted.

"General. I'm very curious, how can a person like you hope that other countries will come in, and do you have so much confidence in them? This doesn't seem to be General Gu Liang's style. ”

Gu Liang Yangbo shook his head with a wry smile, without words.

After waiting for a while, he sighed helplessly: "Actually, everything is going well, I just didn't expect you." ”

Han Ming pointed at himself, "Me?"

"Yes, you. I wonder why all the scouts I sent out have disappeared without a trace. ”

This is the biggest question that plagues Gu Liang Yangbo, if it weren't for the fact that his scout was cleared by Han Ming, and he was like a blind man, he would not have been forced to choose to fight to the death in the end.

Han Ming smiled, this was his decisive weapon, and it was also the trump card that he dared to compete with these battlefield veterans, so naturally he would not tell others easily.

"Have you heard of the legend of Zhongchu?" Han Ming asked rhetorically.

"I've heard a little. Gu Liang Yangbo's face was heavy and he nodded.

"I'm from the other side of the Banwa Mountains. ”

After saying this, Han Ming walked out of the camp tent, leaving Gu Liang Yangbo alone with a stunned face.
