Meanwhile.

It is now dusk, the Huai River is located in the southern Tang Chuzhou, whether in the water or on the shore, everywhere is filled with black smoke, crows are flying in the sky, nearly 100 burned boats are parked on the river bank in a mess, almost so that the blood-colored Huai River water is cut off.

On the more than 300 ships captured by the Northern Zhou army, soldiers in armor were scattered on the deck.

On the north side of the boat, Cui Zixuan had been cleaned, but the plain white clothes were worn on his body, because of the residual blood, the whole person was still a little slaughtered.

There was a commotion, and five or six people who had also been cleaned and looked personable walked towards Cui Zixuan under the leadership of Lu Gan, and they came behind Cui Zixuan and saluted him: "Brother Zixuan." ”

Cui Zixuan turned around.

The bloody battle had just ended, and there was still a small blood mark on his left cheek, and when he saw the children, Cui Zixuan smiled gently, and asked in a dumb voice, "Have you seen Your Majesty?"

The children nodded.

Lu Gen came to Cui Zixuan, looking at the corpses and broken wood and broken flags that could be seen everywhere in the river and on the riverbank, Lu Gen whispered excitedly: "Thank you Brother Cui for your help, so that we can join this war of annihilation." ”

This battle can really be called the battle of destroying the country, this battle, after the Southern Tang soldiers drowned, they also captured tens of thousands of people, and obtained more than 300 warships, so far, the Southern Tang Dynasty sailors in the Huai River were all wiped out. For a long time, the Southern Tang Dynasty was dominated by sailors, if it was said that before this battle, the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty were equal in terms of troops, after this battle, the Southern Tang Dynasty was completely dispersed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and they were also afraid.

Several other families also walked to Cui Zixuan's side.

Together with Cui Zixuan, they looked down on the Huai River valley in the remnant sun, and most of the wandering and fear they had been wandering and fearful disappeared with this great victory.

After a while, Cui Zixuan spoke: "Let's go, it's time for us to go back to Daliang." ”

It is said to be back to Daliang, but there are four families with five surnames and seven wangs who participated in the battle here, and all of them are family descendants, and besides, because in addition to the Boling Cui clan, the other three families are ready to move, so the carriages they accompanied were loaded with many family treasures.

By the time the families were ready, it was already five days later when Cui Zixuan's team set off.

In the blink of an eye, a team of nearly 10,000 people had been marching on the official road for six days.

Although they walked for six days, due to the huge number of troops, their travel speed could not exceed forty miles a day, and until now they are still in the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

It's evening again, looking at the night fog in the wilderness ahead, Lu Gan let out a breath of cold air, he came to Cui Zixuan's side with the Taiyuan Wang's sister-in-law dynasty, Qinghe Cui's sister-in-law Cui Xin, seeing Cui Zixuan looking at the woods in front of him, Lu Gan took the lead and asked, "What is Zixuan looking at?"

The place where Cui Zixuan stood was about a mile away from where they had set up camp, and it was a small mountain.

Hearing Lu Gan's question, Cui Zixuan turned his head, he looked at the three family sons, smiled and said slowly, "I'm waiting for the pursuers." ”

"What?" the faces of the three of them changed.

Cui Zixuan turned around, he looked ahead with his hands again, and said, "If my expectations are not bad, tonight, Li Jingjin, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, should want to sneak attack us." Looking at the shocked faces of the three friends, Cui Zixuan suddenly smiled, only to hear him say in a low voice: "Do you think that the eldest son of our four major families gathered in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and only participated in a Huai River water battle with Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin can be satisfied?" On the night fog, he smiled slightly, his eyes were bright and burning, "Our real highlight is tonight." ”

Wang Chao pondered for a while, and then said urgently: "You mean, capture Li Jingjin alive?"

Next to the dynasty, Cui Xin immediately said: "You don't have to capture alive, if you kill Li Jingjin, the Southern Tang Dynasty can only make Li Wu the crown prince." Li Wu grew up in the countryside, and although he has grown in the past few years, he is far inferior to Li Jingjin in terms of intelligence and ability under the rule. ”

As soon as Cui Xin's voice fell, Lu Yan said excitedly: "Yes, if you can kill Li Jingjin, even Chai Rong will look at us differently!" In a blink of an eye, he asked again: "As far as Brother Cui knows, how long will it take for Li Jingjin's men to arrive?"

Looking at the increasingly dark distance, Cui Zixuan whispered: "It's almost there!"

Although there are many talents in the family, there are not many who really have military talents, and the most outstanding of them is naturally Cui Zixuan.

also because of the recognition of Cui Zixuan's talent, a few years ago, the families secretly made an agreement, all headed by Cui Zixuan. It is also for this reason that almost all the three of Lu Wang and Cui are in battle, and they take Cui Zixuan as the leader. Therefore, now for such a big thing, Cui Zixuan cut it first and then played, and the three of them didn't think of anything inappropriate.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

Under the arrangement of Cui Zixuan's four people, tens of thousands of people from the four major families mobilized silently, and traps were also formed silently.

In the blink of an eye, the wee hours of the morning came.

When the morning star appears in the sky, it is often the time when a person is most sleepy, and so are these people of the four major families, and the camp that is noisy until midnight is silent.

In the darkness, knights silently surrounded from all sides. In front of the knights are extremely light forwards.

In the night, only the blades of the cold light emitted rays of light from time to time.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the camp, getting closer and closer, suddenly, a scream came.

The scream seemed to be a signal, but in the blink of an eye, the screams came one after another, accompanied by the terrible cries of the horses.

At this moment, I don't know who took the lead, and suddenly there was a loud shout from the darkness, "Enemy attack!"

As soon as the voice fell, the camp was full of fire, and when the guards of the four major families turned over, the attacking Southern Tang Dynasty suddenly discovered that they were actually in armor and swords and arrows in hand!

"It's not good, there's an ambush!" More than a dozen knights looked at a knight in the middle at the same time, and with the sound of "Teng-", a wall of fire suddenly burned in the dense forest behind him, and the young prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty turned pale in an instant, only to see him shout urgently: "It's not good, I've fallen for Cui Zixuan's trick!" Accompanied by Li Jingjin's panicked screams, were the screams of the guards who were ambushed in the depths of the woods......

......

As one battle report after another came from the front line, the city of Daliang cheered.

As a person who is good at collecting messages and likes to collect messages, Jiang Mi's messages are always the most sensitive. At this moment, a guard quickly rushed into the study, knelt down on one knee in front of her and said, "Madam, Li Jingjin, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was killed by Cui Zixuan!"

Li Jingjin is dead?

Jiang Mi was startled, she turned her head to look at the guard, stared at him and asked, "Really?"

"Yes!"

The guard then said: "At that time, as soon as the news came out, the civil and military forces of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty were all lying on the ground and crying bitterly, and the Southern Tang Emperor Li Jing vomited blood in court. Now, Li Wu, the king of Yan, has been named the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Wu is the crown prince? Her brother actually became the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty?

Jiang Mi hung her long eyelashes, and after a while, she said softly, "Nantang is not to be afraid. After a while, Jiang Mi said to himself: "The next target of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will be the Shu Kingdom." ”

......

Soon after Jiang Mi received the news, Mrs. Cui also got the news.

On the day that Cui Zixuan killed Li Jingjin, the people of the Cui clan in Boling went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors in ecstasy. In the gloomy ancestral hall, Mrs. Cui knelt in front of the ancestors and ancestors, and said in a choked voice because of too much joy: "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and the day of the emergence of the Boling Cui clan is finally clearly visible!"

Several elders also burst into tears, and one elder even fell to the ground and cried, he hissed and shouted: "Ancestors and ancestors, my Boling Cui clan has finally seen the light of day...... His cry drove the emotions of everyone present, and for a while the ancestral hall cried endlessly.

Today, the biggest threat to the Northern Zhou Dynasty is the Southern Tang Dynasty, and now the most powerful military army in the Southern Tang Dynasty was broken up by Chai Rong, and the most wise and warlike prince in the Southern Tang Dynasty was also killed. The middle-aged man said, "Whatever it means, you'll know if you ask." Lu Yan nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for the ships to speed up.

After a while, the two fleets converged.

When the bridge was set up between the boats, several leaders of the soldiers walked towards the boat where Lu Yan and the others were, and when they saw them on the boat, Lu Gan and Fan Yang and the Lu clan hurriedly greeted them.

Walking in front of the soldiers was a young man with a long beard, he strode forward, came to Lu Gan, the eldest grandson of the Fan Yang Lu family, and after saluting him, the young man presented a letter and said in a rough voice: "Master Lu, my son has ordered the villain to present this letter. ”

Lu Yan took the letter.

He opened it and took a look, then quickly closed it and said to the young man, "Thank you for your hard work, please go and eat first." ”

"Yes. ”

After those people retreated, Lu Yan turned to the middle-aged scholar and ordered, "Whoever asks Uncle Yang to call everyone to my cabin." ”

"Yes. ”

After a while, everyone from the Fan Yang Lu clan arrived.

Looking at them, Lu Yan stroked Cui Zixuan's letter on several sides, and said in a deep voice: "This is Cui Zixuan's letter, you can take a look." With that, he picked up the letter and handed it to the middle-aged man standing in front.

After a while, the five or six Lu disciples in the cabin had finished reading the letter.

Stretched out his hand to take the letter, threw it into the charcoal tray and burned it, Lu Yan said in a deep voice: "We want to keep the glory of our own family, and enterprising is the only way." I think you have already read the content of the letter, and the road pointed by Cui Zixuan has a way ahead, everyone, what do you think?"

A Lu disciple in his thirties, with a three-fold beard and a face like a crown of jade, walked out, and he said, "The opportunity is indeed a rare opportunity. It's just that this time we brought less than 2,000 people and horses, and the rest are all Cui Zixuan and the Yang family's people, so even if we have made a contribution, I am afraid that the big head is still with Cui Zixuan. ”

After destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty, whether it was Hou Shu or Wu Yue, or the Northern Han Dynasty, they were not the opponents of the Zhou State at all. It can be said that after this battle, it will not take ten years for Chai Rong to unify the world! And the Boling Cui clan, which has jointly created a new peaceful and prosperous era with Chai Rong, will inevitably be able to prosper again for several hundred years.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui and the elders were happy and cried, Mrs. Cui got up from the ground tremblingly, she looked at the tablets of the ancestors with tears in her eyes, and thought with relief: Everything is worth it, it's worth it!

......

It was not only the people of the Boling Cui clan who were excited, as the news of the northern line came one by one, and with the news of the death of the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the streets of Daliang cheered and shook the sky, and people with lofty ideals cried with joy. Finally, after decades of not knowing life and death, they saw the dawn of peace in the world again.

In the limelight, Cui Zixuan's team, the teams of the major families, and Chai Rong's army gradually appeared outside the city wall.
