"Marshal, Yelu Mingzhou wants to run, chase or not!" Yuwen Cheng has always been cautious in the use of soldiers, but Rong Jiang did not explain anything to him for the sake of insurance.

Therefore, at this time, Yelu Mingzhou beat his horse and fled, Yuwen Cheng was afraid that there would be fraud, so he ordered someone to clear the remnants of Yelu Mingzhou who had not had time to run with him, and asked Rong Jiang at the same time.

Rong Jiang looked at the sky, was silent for a while, and then raised his lips and smiled: "Chase, of course you have to chase." ”

Yuwen Cheng was obviously stunned, but Rong Jiang was the commander of the three armies, and she said that if she wanted to chase, he would have to obey, so he ordered the troops to pursue Yelu Mingzhou.

Deng Bingxiu and the two of them had already calculated with Rong Jiang, although they didn't expect Yelu Mingzhou to dare to be so bold, and only released 20,000 people each to resist them, but as long as Yelu Mingzhou ran away, they would follow him closely, and they had to force him all the way into the Shao'an Canyon.

Yelu Mingzhou fled all the way to the west, and more than 100,000 people were beaten in his hands, and there were not so many people who followed him.

He stopped in front of the canyon and didn't enter, and the deputy general beside him also frowned and persuaded him: "Your Highness, the two mountains here are sandwiched into a valley, and you can't enter it." ”

Yelu Mingzhou said in his heart that you are talking nonsense, I don't know if you can't enter? He swept around and said in a deep voice: "If you want to go west again, this is the only way, will you let the army go over the mountains?" ”

The lieutenant was about to persuade him again, when the sound of horses' hooves and shouts came from behind him.

Yelu Mingzhou could almost feel the tremor of the ground, so he turned his heart sideways: "Into the valley!" ”

The vanguard battalion in front surrounded Yelu Mingzhou in a protective state, and did not dare to delay the work under his feet, and the spears in his hands were in an attacking posture, and they had to look around to prevent a surprise attack.

When the army had only entered the canyon for the most part, huge rolling stones fell on the hills on both sides, followed by logs and piles of dry straw tied to the carts, and when the cart was halfway through, the arrows rained down on the mountain, and the first part was clearly a cluster of flames, which immediately set the hay on fire.

The Xijon army fell one after another in a burst of screams, and those who were not hit were thrown into disarray, fleeing in all directions.

Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, Yelu Mingzhou turned his heart sideways and shouted at the deputy general who had been protecting him beside him: "Follow me, rush over!" ”

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Yelu Mingzhou was destined not to be able to get out of this canyon.

When the rolling stones on the mountain gradually ended, Yelu Mingzhou had already rushed out of a road, and he thought that he had escaped, but what was waiting in front of him was Situ Xiu and the 50,000 Gunzhou army behind him.

Yelu Mingzhou's eyes flashed with fear, and he pulled the reins with a "call", the horse's hooves were raised, and he followed in place for several turns, he looked at Situ Xiu coldly: "Who is blocking my way?" ”

Situ Xiu snorted coldly, took a bow and shot it, seeing that Yelu Mingzhou was about to dodge once, Han Sheng replied to him: "Situ Xiu of Gunzhou." ”

Situ Xiu's name, how could Yelu Mingzhou not hear of it? He is the one who followed Rong Zhen to kill, and he was also a handsome man who was unambiguous when he was released, and when the two countries were at war, the Xijon people didn't know how much they lost in his hands. It's just that he was inexplicably put into Gunzhou, which was a disguised withdrawal from the Jiangbei battlefield, and Yelu Mingzhou was once glad for this.

It was not long after fighting with Rong Jiang, he sent someone to inquire about Rong Jiang's origin, only to learn that Rong Zhen had passed away early, and most of Rong Jiang's skills were taught by Rong Yu himself, and some were taught to her by Situ Xiu. The things taught by these two people are different, Rong Yu left the battlefield early, and most of the people who can teach Rong Jiang are just some art of war, but Situ Xiu has only been away from Jiangbei for a few years? What he taught Rong Jiang was a real trick to deal with the Xirong people.

It was at that time that Yelu Mingzhou was glad that Emperor Daye had withdrawn Situ Xiu, otherwise the person he met on the battlefield was Situ Xiu, not to mention the loss to the Jiangbei Army, it would have been a great luck for him to be able to retreat.

Therefore, Yelu Mingzhou never imagined that he would meet Situ Xiu here and now, and it stands to reason that Situ Xiu has also reached the age when he should retire, right? It's impossible for a man in his forties to return to the battlefield - why the hell is he here!

He was in a trance, and Rong Jiang had already surrounded him with people behind him, and almost all of the thirty or forty thousand people who followed behind him died in this canyon.

"Yelu Mingzhou, let's arrest it." Rong Jiang rode a horse and stood proudly in this canyon, heroic, so that Yelu Mingzhou didn't dare to look at her for a while.

After a long time, Yelu Mingzhou laughed loudly: "Okay, good, good," he said three times in a row, and suddenly retracted his momentum, looking at Rong Jiang with cold eyes, "You fight more and fight less, and you won't win." ”

Rong Jiangxin said that you are really shameless, so he sighed: "When you killed my Jiangbei Army outside Xiang'an City, did you think about this?" She rode Dabai forward a little more, "Becoming a king and defeating a thief, that's the truth, if you lose in my hands today, you will be defeated in my hands, and there is not so much to say!" ”

She still wanted to go further, Deng Bingxiu stopped her first, God, this can't be the future queen, he is with the army, what kind of accident did Rong Jiang have, he has to go into Beijing.

Yelu Mingzhou was obviously not convinced, but he was trapped here, and there were only fifty or sixty thousand people left, and there were still injured among them, and it was a fool's dream to try to fight his way out.

The horse under his crotch circled in place several times, and Deng Bingxiu and the others who watched looked at each other, not knowing his intentions, but suddenly Yelu Mingzhou's hand was raised, as if there was something in the cuff, but he didn't have time to make a move, and the person had already fallen off the horse.

Yelu Mingzhou had three arrows stuck in his back, which were shot by Situ Xiu.

The commander was killed, and the Xijon army lost its backbone, so it surrendered without a fight.

Rong Jiang ordered someone to pack up Yelu Mingzhou's body and bring it back to the army, and then took a deep look at the more than 50,000 Xirong troops, and didn't say anything, just gritted his teeth and went home.

Situ Xiu followed her and reached out to pat her: "It has nothing to do with those soldiers, they are also ordinary people, just like our soldiers in Daye." You are right not to kill them, and in the future let them go back to reunite with their families, and they will be grateful to you in their hearts for the rest of their lives. ”

Rong Jiang looked sideways, his eyes were wet, he laughed again, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and calmed down.

Deng Bingxiu took care of the things that followed, rode his horse and followed, walking on Rong Jiang's right hand.

Rong Jiang saw him coming, called him first, saw him turn his head to look, and then said: "Send someone to the capital to deliver news, please Ping Xirong." ”

Deng Bingxiu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Did the marshal call me... Go to the request? ”

Rong Jiang snorted: "I didn't ask you to go, I asked you to tell Your Majesty for me," she raised her eyebrows slightly, "Your Yunzhou Army can be regarded as the Son of Heaven's own soldiers, right?" I'll go back and wait for the approval, and it will take ten days at the earliest, but if you send the message back, it is estimated that three or five days is enough, right? ”

Deng Bingxiu touched his nose in a sneer: "Then I'll go back to the camp to arrange it first." ”

Then he rode his horse in the direction of the city.

Situ Xiu followed Rong Jiang two steps, pressed his hand on her shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Think about it?" ”

Rong Jiang smiled back: "I also want to thank my uncle for coming up with the idea for me. ”

Situ Xiu's eyes flashed with a hint of relief, and without saying more, he went back to the city with her. (To be continued.) )
