Sun Baigu escorted the chariots and horses of Emperor Yanguang and his ministers to flee overnight.

He planned to go east to Yanshan County, and then turn south, cross the Yellow River from Binzhou to Qingzhou, Shandong, and then His Majesty would be safe for the time being.

All the way, the carriages and horses galloped, and at dawn, they finally arrived in Yanshan County.

Ignoring the fatigue of the soldiers, Sun Baigu turned to the official road heading south and ordered the march to continue.

Suddenly, hearing the shouts of killing in the mountains and forests, a strong army rushed out from the south to cut off the official road, and the rain of arrows suddenly attacked the Xuan army.

"Sun Baigu, Lao Tzu has been waiting for you here for a long time!"

With this shout, a general with a long lance led the army to rush towards the Xuanda array, it was Tang Jie.

The two sides fought, and Tang Jie entered the battle, as if entering a no-man's land.

Then, there were earth-shattering shouts of killing in the west and north. A team of Swiss troops rode horses to chase after them, but it was Meng Jiu who looked at the banner.

"The King of the Dead Country still wants to escape?! My military advisor has long expected your trick! ”

The Rui army shouted to kill, and the morale of the Chu army plummeted. The ministers in the middle of the procession were terrified and cried, and the scene was chaotic.

Sun Baigu suddenly thought of Wang Zhen's move to take King Qi away, and his heart was a little dazed.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

He let out a loud shout and commanded the personal guard battalion to meet Tang Jie.

The Guards Battalion is Sun Baigu's most elite and loyal man. They also put their lives behind and went to stop the Tang Festival without their lives.

Over there, Sun Baigu gritted his teeth, led the Shenshu camp and the knights of the upper guard, and fled to the east with the horse of Emperor Yanguang.

He could no longer take care of the ministers and princes and nobles of the Chu Dynasty, except for more than 20 important ministers who could ride horses near Emperor Yanguang, more than 10,000 people were all left behind.

~~

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Long live Da Chu......"

The roar came from the mouths of the soldiers of the Xuanda Guards Battalion, and they fought to the death one by one and did not retreat, blocking the front of the Tang Jie army with their flesh and blood, and slowly fell down one by one.

Finally, Tang Jie led the troops to kill all the guards in front of him, and his body was covered with red blood.

When he looked around, he saw that the mountains were full of Chu Dynasty officials, nobles, and family members running around like headless flies...... The cry shook the sky and was miserable.

And the smoke and dust were billowing in the east, and Sun Baigu had already led the emperor of the Chu Dynasty to run away.

"Chase!"

"Third Highness, dare to ask how to deal with these people?"

Tang Jie looked at the more than 10,000 people who were surrounded on the battlefield, and froze slightly.

These people were selected by Wang Zhen and Zuo Jinglun, and most of them were oriented to the Chu Dynasty, or they were in high positions and powers, or their identities were noble...... In other words, they were almost half of the Chu Dynasty.

Even though Tang Jie didn't count killing people on the battlefield, looking at these unarmed people, he had no idea for a while.

Some in the crowd were weeping, some were pleading, but others were trying to climb into the carriage, standing trembling and shouting.

"The old man is an important minister of the court, and he bears a heavy burden of the king's grace, and he can't cause chaos, only a dead ear!"

With that, he lifted his sword and killed himself.

There was another cry of grief in the crowd, and from time to time someone committed suicide.

"It is difficult to make merit, and it is easy to be martyred. I am the one who has changed for it, and I will keep my body clean. Smile into the Nine Plains, and leave the world ......"

For a time, the cry was mixed with the cry of begging for mercy, and the cry of begging for mercy was mixed with the tragedy of death of generosity.

Tang Jie saw it in his eyes, and only felt that his scalp was numb.

He seemed a little shocked, his lips twitched, and finally muttered, "Charge ...... first"

Before Tang Jie's words were finished, the Swiss army in the west had already pounced, and a rain of arrows struck, and the screams echoed, like purgatory on earth.

"On the orders of the military division, you will not be captured, and you will not be killed!"

Tang Jie turned his head and wanted to say something, but he felt powerless in his heart......

~~

Capital.

The letter of the Battle of Cangzhou was quickly sent to the Tang Zhongyuan Imperial Case.

Tang Zhongyuan looked at it, and his hands trembled slightly.

This siege of Emperor Chu took far more time and lost more troops than he expected.

At the same time, he didn't expect Guan Ning Tieqi to have such combat power......

The current situation is like a fierce horse that he can't restrain, galloping in an unknown direction.

Jiannu outside the Guan, Emperor Chu who fled, Zhang Xianzhong of Xishu, and Zheng Yuanhua of Jiangnan...... Problems and enemies were in front of him, and Tang Zhongyuan found that his troops, food, grass, and prestige were not enough to control the situation.

He suddenly regretted that he did not follow Li Bobai's advice to consolidate the land of Western Qin first, stock up on grain and train troops.

There are also some regrets that he didn't wait a little longer, maybe if he waits a little longer, Wang Xiao can still lead many Chu troops to surrender.

Thinking like this, Tang Zhongyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart-

Is it still possible for Wang Xiao to surrender? Where is he now?

~~

Beijing Suburb Industrial Park.

A horse-drawn carriage was parked next to the road.

Tang Qianqian sat in the carriage and didn't get down, she was sick recently, with a cold and anxiety, the whole person was a sad look.

After a while, Tang Bowang walked around the industrial park and stepped forward to report: "Your Highness the Seventh, most of the stewards in the park have been taken away, and there are not a few old guys we knew when we were in the capital, but the boss of the Wang family still left someone to bring you a message." ”

"Huh?"

"It's Wen Youshu, I'll ask him to come over and say."

"Hmm."

Wen Youshu was originally the shopkeeper of the Wen family, and after Wang Xiao copied the Wen family, Wen Youshu recruited the location of the Wen family's silver, so he saved his life. At that time, there were not many talents who could write and calculate in the Beijing Suburb Industrial Park, so Wang Xiao left him for Fu Qing's main use. Wen Youshu's 'resume' is not very good, so he has never been able to become a confidant of the Wang family. But he is also an old man in the industrial park, and he knows about ordinary things. Wang Zhen left him behind when he left Beijing.

Speaking of which, Wen Youshu had met Tang Qianqian in the teahouse opposite the coal shop on Wufeng Street, but he didn't expect to meet again now, and the identity of the other party was worlds apart.

"The grass people greet Your Highness."

"Say it."

"Yes, when the prince left Beijing, he once said to the small one that the suburban property of Beijing would be handed over to the Seventh Highness in the future, and the account books and other things were in the treasury, and the small ones were ......."

Tang Qianqian didn't want to hear this, and interrupted: "Can you say where is Wang Xiao now?" ”

"The prince said that the master of the horse ......"

Halfway through Wen Youshu's words, Tang Bowang suddenly raised his foot and kicked him lightly.

Wen Youshu reacted and said busily: "He said that Huaiyuan Hou will definitely return soon." ”

"Really?"

"Yes, the eldest prince said that the second son of the Wang family was convinced and had sent a boat to pick up ......."

Tang Qianqian couldn't tell whether Wang Zhen was fooling herself.

Or perhaps, it's not that she can't tell the difference, but she just doesn't want to tell it.

After a long time, she lifted the curtain, looked at the grass and trees in the door, and suddenly felt a little dazed......

~~

At the same time, west of Cangzhou City, Fucheng County.

The Shenji Battalion, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the Shandong soldiers and horses ran here, and finally temporarily left the scope of the Swiss army's offensive and began to change lanes and set off for Jinan Mansion.

Before the blood on Qinshanhu's armor was wiped off, he ran to Wang Zhen with his knife and asked, "Sun Baigu wants to sell our Guanning Iron Horse, do you know?!" ”

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly and said silently.

Wang Zhu rode forward and sneered: "What? Solve the siege for you, but you come to ask us? ”

Qin Shanhu frowned, but shouted: "My Qin family's sons are definitely not afraid of death, but if you want us to cover Your Majesty's escape, you can say it directly!" Why bother to go out of the city to fight at that time, and say that whichever way to defeat the enemy first, you will go from whichever way? ”

"You go and ask Sun Baigu." Wang Zhu said.

"Lao Tzu asked Wang Zhen if he knew ...... know"

"Fourth brother!" Qin Shanhai shouted.

"Fourth uncle......" Qin Xiaozhu heard the quarrel, and he also rode a horse to catch up.

"Big brother." Qin Shanhu turned to Qin Shanhai and said: "Wang Zhen has no official and no lord, we respect him as the elder brother of the Hou Ye before listening to his assignment, and we can kill the enemy and serve the country, but there is no reason to use people as chess pieces......"

"Say no more!"

"I'm in the know." Wang Zhen suddenly responded, looked at Qinshan Lake and said slowly: "When I discussed with Governor Sun, I didn't plan to flee from the south from the beginning, because King Wu Yan must focus on defending the Guanning Iron Cavalry. ”

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"I'm afraid that you will have scruples and dare not go deep into the enemy camp."

"If you can't believe it, you can't believe it, and you don't have to worry about it!"

Qin Shanhu scolded angrily.

He had to ask himself, but he really asked the answer at this time, but he didn't know how to deal with it. After spitting a mouthful of blood, he turned his horse and left.

"Hou Ye is not like you......"

Wang Zhen's face was a little bitter, and he wanted to make amends to Qin Shanhai when he got off the horse.

Now that he has left Sun Baigu, he is also extremely guilty in his heart, and he has not rested for a long time, he has not taken two steps, and as soon as his brain sinks, he faints and falls to the ground.

There was another rush over there, and someone from the Wang family came out to say a few words to the Qin family......

When Qin Xiaozhu saw this scene, he was a little sad.

She turned her head to look at Chunning's car behind her, and asked again in her heart: "Wang Xiao...... Where are you......"

~~

East of Yanshan County.

The horse's hooves flew, and Sun Baigu led Emperor Yanguang all the way to the east, and finally there was no way to escape.

As far as the eye can see, there is a huge coastline in front of you.

The sea is turbulent, and the sound of waves resounds between heaven and earth.

There were endless chasing soldiers behind him, and Sun Baigu didn't have many men left.

fled eastward this way, and the men and horses under his command were transferred from time to time. At this point, there were less than 2,000 cavalry left in Xuanda, and there were only more than 1,000 people left in the Shenshu battalion.

In addition, a group of civil and military ministers were also lost, and only a few important ministers remained. In the ranks, Emperor Yanguang's imperial wheels were also loosened and creaked.

Sun Baigu didn't know what he was still insisting on, he looked at the wide sea, and suddenly thought of Lu Xiufu's surrender to the sea at the end of the Song Dynasty......

Through the ages, what is the mistake of the past again?

He thought, his eyes were hazy, he turned over and dismounted, took off his armor, knelt down in front of Emperor Yanguang, and kowtowed heavily.

"Your Majesty, the criminal ministers are not effective in suppressing bandits, and today I am willing to die for Da Chu."

After saying that, he stood up, put on his armor again, turned to the southwest with his sword, and stood still looking at the running Swiss army in the distance.

"I'm willing to die with the handsome!"

In the midst of loud cheers, the two thousand Xuan troops either stood behind Sun Baigu or gathered around the royal car.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and Emperor Yanguang finally got out of the car slowly.

His whole person seemed to be twenty years old, and his body was slumped, except for the bright dragon robe, there was no trace of imperial air in his body.

"I ......"

He spoke, his voice hoarse.

"I have no face to see the ancestors and ancestors......"

After saying a word, Emperor Yanguang opened his legs and walked towards the coast.

"Stop Your Majesty!"

The ministers shouted, but they saw that the rebels had rushed up......

"Kill Emperor Chu!"

"Protect Your Majesty's ......"

The fight began again, and everyone was in a frenzy.

In the bloody battle, Sun Baigu's armor had been cut off, and he was covered with wounds all over his body.

His eyes were blood-red, and he wanted to go back to see His Majesty, but he was slashed in the leg with a knife, he half-knelt on the ground, turned his head slowly, and there was only a chaotic figure in the battle in front of him......

Suddenly.

"Boom!"

A cannonball streaked across the sea and struck the Swiss army.

Chu Jun was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw that three sea ships had stopped on the sea at some point.

On the sea boat, several large flags are waving in the wind.

"Da Chu, Huaiyuan Marquis ......"

"Yes...... Wang Xiao? ”
