At this time, because of the continuous impact on the relationship between the two infantry formations, Lan Zhen's cavalry formation was a little scattered, and the strength of the horses decreased a little, plus there were many infantry running around on the side to block the cavalry's charging route, and for a while, the two cavalry Qianhu sent back by Lu Yuan actually blocked Lan Zhen's army.

Lan Zhen had already received the chapter table that Zhu Jiye had transferred to him from the city of Jinan, and knew that the rebel army that had been called 'Cheng Rebellion' before was originally led by Lu Yuan. Although he didn't know what Lu Yuan had done in Qingzhou, he also knew that he had to catch Lu Yuan in order to be regarded as a complete achievement.

And since Lu Yuan is the leader of the rebellion, as long as he is caught or killed, most of the remaining rebels in Shandong will collapse without a fight. So no matter what the reason is, Lan Zhen has to go a long way.

But at this time, the battlefield was too chaotic, and the terrain here was not a flat terrain, and he didn't know where the road was going soon after he was stopped. Although Lu Yuan must have fled towards Texas City, there are so many trees and rivers, and it is difficult to say how to go.

Lan Zhen led his troops to finally kill the rebel cavalry who came to stop him, and then carefully inquired with the cavalry who had dispersed before, and after knowing where Lu Yuan had escaped, he hurriedly chased after him. But when he caught up with the army led by Lu Yuan, he saw something that he didn't expect at all: the army led by Lu Yuan had collapsed, and a cavalry of thousands of people scattered to chase and trample on them.

Lan Zhen led the soldiers to take a closer look at the side, and saw the banners of the King of Qi, the King of Gaoyang County and the King of Yong'an County, and wondered: How did they come here?

However, Lan Zhen was puzzled, and he still took precautions while slowly leading people over.

After the people over there saw Lan Zhen's army, a group of people under the banner of the king of Yong'an County also came over here. Lan Zhen saw Zhu Mengjiong, and after immediately bowing his hand, he asked, "Lord Yong'an, why are you here?" Why did Your Majesty let you lead troops to chase after you? ”

Zhu Mengjiong said: "It's like this,......"

It turned out that after Zhu Xianyang set off with 5,000 light horses yesterday morning, he didn't rest day and night, and they were one person and two horses, so they rushed here at this time.

When they arrived, the cavalry led by Lan Zhen had already bypassed the cavalry led by Luo Ren and trampled on the infantry behind. When Zhu Xianyu saw this situation, he was about to charge with his soldiers, but was stopped by Zhu Gaoxu.

Although Zhu Gaoxu is usually a bit arrogant and arrogant, he is very careful when he really goes to the battlefield, he carefully observed for a while and then pointed to the northernmost army and said: "Now only this army has not been broken, what we should do most is to defeat this army." ”

But the position they were in now was not suitable for charging, so Zhu Gaoxu quietly circled with the army to a suitable place for charging, and then suddenly began to charge.

Lu Yuan and his soldiers thought that they had thrown off the pursuers and were running towards Texas City with all their might, and the formation was completely gone. I didn't want to think that at this moment, another cavalry suddenly rushed out.

They were in disarray, and had already broken up by the time the cavalry rushed in front of them.

Zhu Xianyang was afraid that the generals had run away, so he ordered Zhu Mengjiong to surround the periphery with 2,000 people, and he and Zhu Gaoxu and the rest of the cavalry trampled back and forth in the middle. Zhu Xianyan hated the rebels in Shandong, whether it was the original Qi Wang Sanwei's people or the later rebels. But he knew that when the rebels officially surrendered, these ordinary soldiers would not be executed, that is, exiled, so he rode horses back and forth and trampled them to death.

However, Zhu Xianhui also ordered: "When you see a military general wearing armor, you must not trample on it or execute it, and all of them will be captured alive." ”

Lan Zhen didn't know about Qingzhou, and saw that the rebels were completely in chaos, and many ordinary soldiers knelt down to surrender, but they were still trampled to death mercilessly by Zhu Xianyang's soldiers, so he said to Zhu Mengjiong: "Lord Yong'an, hurry up and gather the soldiers!" ”

Zhu Mengjiong said with a wry smile: "I don't dare to say it to Xian Ye, you can say it yourself." ”

Lan Zhen saw Zhu Mengjiong's expression and knew that something must have happened, but anyway, he still felt that it was inappropriate to deal with these rebel soldiers in this way, so he led someone to rush in and stop Zhu Xianjiong's horse and said, "Chen Lanzhen has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi. ”

Then he said, "Your Highness, quickly gather up the soldiers." ”

Zhu Xianhui was just about to get angry, but when he saw that the person who blocked him was Lan Zhen, he suppressed his anger and said, "No! I'm going to trample them all to death! However, although he suppressed his anger, his voice was still very angry.

Lan Zhen said: "Your Highness, no matter what crimes the rebels have committed, they have little to do with these ordinary soldiers, why does Your Highness have to execute them?" ”

Just when the two of them were arguing like this, one of Zhu Xianyang's personal guards rode over and said, "Your Highness, you have captured Lu Yuan!" ”

"What!" Zhu Xianyang suddenly shouted. Then Zhu Xianyang didn't have the heart to trample on these ordinary soldiers, and rode over there. Lan Zhen and Zhu Gaoxu glanced at each other and began to gather the army.

Zhu Xianyang rode to the other side, didn't tell who Lu Yuan was, and asked his guards: "Which one is Lu Yuan?" ”

The guard pointed to a person and said, "The person over there who is lying unconscious on the ground is Lu Yuan." ”

Zhu Xianhui looked at the tied man he couldn't recognize anymore and asked, "He's not dead, is he?" ”

"He didn't die, but he was about to kill himself when we found him," said the guard, "so we rushed forward and knocked him unconscious, and then pulled the poison out of his teeth." In order to prevent him from committing suicide when he woke up, we tied him up. ”

Zhu Xianyang said: "Okay, well done." ”

Then Zhu Xianyang gritted his teeth at Lu Yuan and said, "I can be regarded as catching you, I must make your life worse than death." ”

Zhu Xianyang said to the guards again: "Since he has poison on his teeth, then we must also prevent him from biting his tongue and killing himself, so that people can break all his teeth." And, pick off all his tendons and tendons. ”

Hearing Zhu Xianhui's words, even the guards shuddered. However, they didn't dare to disobey Zhu Xianyan's words, and one of them got off the horse and knocked on his teeth.

At this time, Lan Zhen ran over again and said to Zhu Xianyan: "Your Highness, although Your Highness now desperately wants to break them into pieces, but, after all, there are other military generals in Lu Yuan who are the main envoys of the rebellion and the prisoners of the imperial court, is it more appropriate to send them back first and let Your Majesty take a charter out and then deal with them?" ”

"Besides, not all of the rebels in Shandong came from Qingzhou, and even if they came from Qingzhou, they may not all be disrespectful, so it's better to screen them first."

Just now, Zhu Mengjiong had already told Lan Zhen what was going on, so Lan Zhen could understand Zhu Xianjiong's mood. But if he really let Zhu Xianyi torture these people to death here, he thinks that Yun Xi will not think that Lan Zhengan is right not to stop him.

Of course, Yun Xi will not deal with Zhu Xianhui because of this, anyone who does such a thing on himself will be the same as Zhu Xianhui; But Lan Zhen thinks that Yun Xi may blame Lan Zhen and does not stop it. So after Lan Zhen carefully considered her words, she stepped forward to persuade Zhu Xianyang.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu also rode over and persuaded him: "Xian Yan, what Lan Zhen said is reasonable, not all the rebel generals have committed great disrespect, it is better to screen them first." ”

"Lu Yuan doesn't need to be screened, but he is the person led by the Shandong rebels this time, presumably the imperial brother has something to interrogate him first, so you should give the imperial brother a report and ask the imperial brother for instructions."

"Don't worry, Brother Huang will definitely hand these people over to you again in the end. If the imperial brother does not hand over these people to you to deal with, I will go with you to kneel and beg the imperial brother. ”

Although Zhu Gaoxu was also very angry, the matter was not on him after all, so he was able to analyze the matter calmly.

Zhu Mengjiong also came up to persuade. Of course, Zhu Xianyi was unwilling to accept these opinions, but he couldn't stand the persuasion of the three of them in turn, and Yun Xi's previous order was to let him obey Lan Zhen's command, and in the end, these people were still taken away by Lan Zhen.

Lan Zhen found a literate person to write a report to Yun Xi, listing the names of all the rebel generals who were captured alive and received the corpses this time, and asked Yun Xi to give the regulations for disposal. Then Lan Zhen arranged for Gu Cheng to conduct a preliminary interrogation of these generals to identify who was the general of which guard.

Then Lan Zhen didn't have time to do anything else, and said to Gu Cheng, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Xianyang and Zhu Mengjiong: "Now Dezhou City is close at hand, and we don't know where the army of King Yan is heading south. The so-called soldiers are fast, and I will immediately rush to Dezhou City with the cavalry to prevent King Yan's army from entering the city. ”

"We have a total of 12,000 cavalry, leaving 5,000 men, and I will rush to Texas with 7,000 men at once."

"The matter here will be handed over to the three princes and Gu Cheng."

Zhu Mengjiong and Zhu Xianyi nodded in agreement, but Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said: "Take me, I am familiar with Yanwang Sanwei, and it will really be better to meet Yanwang Sanwei when the time comes." ”

Lan Zhen glanced at Zhu Gaoxu deeply, and after a long while, he said, "Okay." ”

Since Zhu Gaoxu is also going to follow, the only people left are Gu Cheng, Zhu Xianyang and Zhu Mengjiong. Lan Zhen originally wanted to keep Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaochu is brave and strategic, and he is older than Zhu Xianyu, so he can dissuade Zhu Xianxu, but unfortunately he can't do it now.

Lan Zhen could only instruct Zhu Mengjiong a few words, and told him to stop Zhu Xianji when he still wanted to deal with the captured generals; Then he instructed Gu Cheng a few words, and set off again with the cavalry who had just rested for a while. Fortunately, this time they captured a large number of horses and physical strength of the rebels, although the surrendered cavalry did not dare to use it now, but the horses still dared to ride.
