"Chen Yang has big eyes to see Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng stopped his horse, "General Yang is exempt, how is the battle going?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Song army was defeated by our army, more than 2,300 Song generals and soldiers were captured, and those killed by our army are still being counted, there should be no less than 2,000 people, a small number of remnants of the Song army fled into Longquan Mountain, and the minister has sent troops to chase and suppress!"

Zhao Junsheng had a smile on his face: "Well done, you really didn't disappoint me!" The matter of chasing down the Song army's rout will be handed over to you to continue to be responsible! After taking the entire territory of Sichuan and Shu, I will reward my deeds again! ”

"The ministers obey the order, thank you for your majesty's love, and the ministers will be loyal to their duties and live up to your majesty's trust!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, turned his head to Yang Lie and said, "The herald army camped on the spot, and the vigilance patrol and other related matters are arranged by you!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng asked Yang Dayan: "Where is that Song general Li Dan now?" ”

Yang Dayan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Li Dan is imprisoned with other Song army prisoners!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a moment and ordered: "Go and bring Li Dan over, I want to see him!" ”

"No!"

After the tent was built, Zhao Junsheng sat down in the tent, took a sip of water, stood on both sides of the colonel, and several soldiers walked in with Li Dan.

Li Dan was pushed in by two young and strong armorers, and he didn't look at Zhao Junsheng, but looked up at the top of the tent.

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Are you Li Dan?" ”

"It's Li!"

"Are you willing to surrender?"

"Joke!" Li Shan couldn't help but let out a sneer, "I'm a dignified Song general, how can I do such a disloyal and unrighteous thing?" Don't say anything about persuasion, if you want to kill, you have to kill as soon as possible, and Li should also go to reincarnate as soon as possible! ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "It's a bit hard, you really don't want to surrender?" ”

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, come on!"

Zhao Junsheng's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but say: "I don't want the Southern Dynasty to have such a few generals who are not afraid of death, and his Liu family doesn't know which blessings he has cultivated in his life!" If, if you want to be loyal and righteous, how can I not be a man? Someone came, dragged out and beheaded, and buried with the gift of a general! ”

"No!" The two armor soldiers agreed, and dragged Li Dan, who was stunned, out of the way, probably he didn't expect that the person in front of him turned out to be the Great Qian Emperor.

After a while, the executed soldier went and returned, carrying Li Dan's bloody head to come in and restore his life.

Zhao Junsheng glanced at it and said to the generals: "We should be respectful of the loyal and righteous, not everyone can die generously without changing their faces under such circumstances, General Li Shan is a person who is honest and loyal, and he will be buried with the body!" Dongfang Chen, the funeral matters are presided over by you! ”

"No!" The armor man agreed, picked up the head and turned to leave.

Dongfang Chen stood up and saluted: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

The next morning, Zhao Junsheng was inspecting the prisoner camp when a fast horse galloped in, and the knight on horseback was shaky.

"Report ······ Report - Your Majesty, Song General Chen Xian deceived our army, and led his troops to withdraw in the direction of Chengdu City overnight, and our army couldn't catch up when it was discovered, and the commander of the thousand commanders had sent people to make a detour and rush to the big camp outside Chengdu City to report to General Nie Feihu! ”

Zhao Junsheng frowned, and waved his hand left and right: "Give him some food, and get some water!" ”

One of the imperial guards on the left took out a little dry food and handed over a water bag.

The knight who reported the news took the dry food and devoured it, nibbled on the dry food and drank a sip of water, and only after eating the dry food and drinking the water did he recover some physical strength and spirit.

Zhao Junsheng saw that he had almost eaten, and said, "You tell me in detail from beginning to end!" ”

"No!" The messenger agreed, and immediately recounted the events in detail.

After listening to this, Zhao Junsheng said: "This is interesting, Chengdu City has become a place of great war at this time, and other Sichuan and Shu officials avoided it, but he did the opposite, can you tell me, what does this Chen Xian think?" Why is it that the more dangerous the place, the more he wants to go? ”

Dongfang Chen thought for a while: "Your Majesty, do you think that Chen Xian is only afraid that he will have to do this?" ”

"I want to hear about it!"

"Your Majesty, please think about it, Chen Xian's task must be to take those 2,000 people to block our army's pursuit of Li Dan's main force, but our army didn't pay attention to him, and only sent a thousand horsemen to stay and contain him, so that he could not cause trouble and threat to our army's main force, Chen Xian had no choice but to watch the main force of our army continue to pursue, in fact, his mission has failed, if he leads his troops to escape, Jiankang will definitely be held responsible!"

"In addition, with his current strength, if he goes head-to-head with our army, he has no chance of winning, and he can't stop our army from going to other cities, at present, only Chengdu City, the largest city, can let him live, if he sticks to it properly, maybe he can hold out until the arrival of the Southern Dynasty reinforcements!"

Zhao Junsheng's eyes were firm: "Chengdu City is an important town in Sichuan and Shu, if our army takes Chengdu City, the cities in Sichuan and Shu do not need us to fight, they will not be able to withstand the pressure to surrender to our army one after another, and as long as Chengdu City is not broken, the defenders of Sichuan and Shu will hold on, which is not conducive to our army's attack on Sichuan and Shu, pass the order, and the whole army will be drawn after breakfast tomorrow morning!" ”

"No!"

Yang Lie stood up and clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, what to do with the more than 2,300 Song soldiers who were captured?" Do you want to take it to Chengdu City, or do you ······?"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a moment and said: "There are not many infantry in our army entering Sichuan this time, and what is most needed to attack the city is infantry. But if some means are not taken, these prisoners will not be willing to be used by us, and they will have no reverence for our army, and at the same time, in order to prevent them from turning against the water behind their backs, let's kill all the officers and colonels of the rank and above, leaving only the army commander in charge of the soldiers, and the vacant officers and colonels will be drawn from the infantry of our army! ”

Yang Lie clenched his fists: "No!" ”

Soon after, more than 100 officers and colonels captured by the Song army were brought out of the camp, and these people were taken to remote places and executed.

The other captives thought that these officers and colonels had been taken away to enjoy the blessings alone, and that these low-level soldiers could only eat chaff, and they did not know that these officers and colonels had all become ghosts under the knife at this time.

Yang Lie's movements were very efficient, and in the time of a meal, the same number of officers and colonels of the cadre army were added to this group of prisoners, and they immediately performed their duties and began to control the surrender of these prisoners.

For the disobedient commander, kill them immediately, and then appoint someone from among the captives to take over the post of captain, so that the prisoners and soldiers did not dare to blow up the assassination, and one by one became honest, and did not dare to turn a blind eye to the orders issued by the new officers.

After a day of encirclement and suppression in the mountains, the vast majority of the Song army routs who fled into Longquan Mountain were almost all rounded up and annihilated, and only the scattered stragglers were still at large, but the number of these people was too small to pose much threat to the actions of the cadres, and it was estimated that these Song army routs could only take off their armor and flee back to their hometowns.

After Zhao Junsheng received the report that Yang Dayan sent someone back, he gave him an order to lead his troops to join the main force of the army.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Dayan led his troops to return from Longquan Mountain.

After another night's rest, early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng left a cavalry team of 1,000 people to move eastward through Longquan Mountain, posing a threat to Ba County, and then he led the main army back to Chengdu City.

Outside Chengdu, the cadre army camp.

After the time, Nie Feihu took the personal guards and a few officers to colonel the camp for a routine inspection, by the way the camp also inspected the camp, now these soldiers are quite honest, after a few days of integration and teaching, the soldiers have gradually accepted the new identity, temporarily become the assistant army of the cadres, Nie Feihu also issued them some simple weapons, sent people to them to practice.

Under the circumstance that there is no shortage of food and the amount of training is not large, these assistant soldiers are quite honest, and they are quite cooperative and obedient to drills and orders, and they are not as resistant as they were at the beginning.

"General, there is a messenger from the main army to deliver the message!"

Nie Feihu raised his eyebrows: "There is still a messenger coming at such a late hour?" ”

"The subordinates have checked it, and there will be no fakes!"

"Then let him in!"

"No!"

A messenger was brought in, saluted Nie Feihu and then took out a letter and presented it: "The villain is a messenger under the command of Cao Ming, the commander of the thousand, General Cao was ordered by His Majesty to contain the Song army Chen Xian, but Chen Xian was cunning, and led his troops to sneak away last night, according to the tracking of our army's reconnaissance cavalry, Chen Xianbu is coming to Chengdu City, General Cao ordered the villain to send this letter to General Nie, warn the general, and ask the general to prepare early, so as not to be caught off guard!" ”

If it is an ordinary commander, Nie Feihu naturally doesn't care much, there are not a thousand commanders in the entire Great Cadre Army, but there are not a thousand but eight hundred, but the escort cavalry who came with the emperor are all forbidden troops, and they are the trump cards of the middle soldiers, as the saying goes, the prime minister has seven rank officials in front of the door, even if it is a doorman, it is not something that ordinary people can afford to provoke, not to mention that Cao Ming is still the commander of the forbidden army, if you really want to talk about it, Cao Ming's identity will not be lower than him.

Nie Feihu's solemn expression resulted in the letter, and after opening it, he read it, and after reading it, he was thoughtful.

"Is this Chen Xian crazy or has other plans? Knowing that our army has already been under the city of Chengdu, he still prefers to go to Hushan, so he is not afraid of being strongly blocked by our army? ”

A general next to him said: "General, the guard posts and mobile patrol posts sent out have not found any news of the enemy troops!" ”

Nie Feihu thought for a while and ordered: "Order the detective guard to expand the search area, don't just stare at the southeast direction, maybe they will touch it from other directions!" ”

"Yes, General!"

Nie Feihu really guessed correctly, Chen Xian and his 1,600 men and horses did not come directly from the southeast towards Chengdu City, but first detoured to Wuyang County, passed through Wuyang County and then came north.

Fifteen miles south of Chengdu, in a wooded area by the river, Chen Xian arrived at sunset with 1,600 men and horses.

"General Xiang, I have a letter here, you send a capable and clever person to Chengdu City overnight to inquire about the news, and by the way, find a way to contact the defenders, and give this letter to Liu Yu, the assassin, and ask him to arrange a time to open the city gate and let us enter the city!"
