Chapter 772: The Fall
The quiet mountain forests, winding paths, and cool breezes still can't dispel the heat in Gao Jie's heart. Leading the tired war horse, all the way forward with great difficulty, and not finding any pursuers behind him, Gao Jie's anxious mood was slightly relieved, but he still didn't dare to be careless.
The mountains and forests were so quiet that he didn't even hear the sound of birdsong, and with Gao Jie's years of experience on the battlefield, he realized that there would definitely be something bad going on. But he was no longer able to run, and his tired horse was overwhelmed, and he could run on his two legs.
There was a black shadow flickering in front of the trail, and there was also an unusual movement behind him. Gao Jie resigned himself to his fate, stopped and watched, only to see that thirty meters in front of him, there were two tall figures, bright light armor and a fiery red cloak behind him, obviously the general of the chasing army arrived.
More than 2,000 officers and troops have completely surrounded Gao Jie at this moment, and Qing Huaiwu and Qing Huaiwen, who have been waiting for a long time, have looked at Gao Jie after they appeared. Seeing Gao Jie's tired expression, the two looked at each other and laughed silently.
Qing Huaiwu showed his spear, took a few steps forward, and then pointed at Gao Jie condescendingly, and drank coldly: "Don't resist, spare you from death!" ”
Gao Jie looked at Qing Huaiwu coldly, and didn't answer at all, he suddenly turned around and took off his Fang Tian painting halberd from the war horse, paused heavily on the ground, and sneered: "If you want me Gao Jie to die, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it." ”
Knowing that he could not escape death, Gao Jie was no longer afraid, life and death could be put aside, and what could make him lower his arrogant head.
Qing Huaiwu stared, he was very angry at Gao Jie's ignorance, he stopped talking nonsense, and the spear rushed forward violently. Gao Jie was not to be outdone, let out a loud roar, and raised his breath to meet him.
"Ding!"
The spear collided with Fang Tian's halberd, and there was a crisp sound of gold and iron.
Qing Huaiwu suddenly withdrew the spear, and stabbed Gao Jie's left leg in a whirlwind, Gao Jie was not in a hurry, and Fang Tian's halberd easily blocked the spear with a sweep. The two of you went back and forth, exchanged more than a dozen moves, and they were evenly matched, and there was a draw.
On the surface, the two are evenly divided, but Gao Jie secretly complained in his heart, he ran away along the way, and he was already at the end of the strong bow, a typical external strength and middle work. He couldn't last long in a situation like this, and he knew that Qing Huaiwu in front of him didn't use all his strength at all.
"Big brother, it's not too early, the prince is still waiting for our news." Qing Huaiwen, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, suddenly spoke.
"Hahaha, don't worry, it's still early, let my brother and I play with him again." Qing Huaiwu let out a burst of laughter, but the offensive in his hand also increased.
Gao Jie suddenly felt a great pressure, and between loosening and tightening, he had confirmed his conjecture just now. Rather than being teased to death like this, it is better to fight to the death, even if you can't kill the enemy, at least you can die with more dignity.
Thinking of this, Gao Jie no longer had any reservations, he completely gave up the defensive, and Fang Tian's halberd flew up and down in his hand, forcing Qing Huaiwu to retreat for a while. A rat who was accidentally played by himself was in a hurry and lost face in front of many subordinates. Qing Huaiwu yelled angrily: "Look for death!" ”
The spear was like a poisonous snake out of a hole, extremely flexible in Qing Huaiwu's hands, and Gao Jie's offensive was suddenly stunned. And Qing Huaiwu is obviously really angry this time, he no longer has any reservations, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, and the offensive is more ferocious wave after wave.
"Medium!"
Suddenly, Qing Huaiwu's spear stabbed out, and the head of the spear pierced directly through Gao Jie's throat, and bright red blood flowed down the barrel of the spear.
Gao Jie's eyes widened, he was extremely unwilling to die like this, but he was powerless to return to the sky.
Qing Huaiwu held the barrel of the gun in his hand and pulled back suddenly, then abandoned the gun and pulled out the saber from his waist, and grabbed Gao Jie's long hair with the other hand. Between the knife in his hand, Gao Jie's head had been cut off by Qing Huaiwu.
The bloody head was raised high by Qing Huaiwu, Gao Jie was dead, and his lifeless eyes looked at the sky, and a generation of famous generals fell like this, and the scenery was no longer there.
The two soldiers rushed up, took Gao Jie's head from Qing Huaiwu's hand, and then quickly processed it, and then packed it in a black cloth bag.
Qing Huaiwu wiped his spear and saber, and then ordered to leave for Leshan Town to resume his life.
King Fu sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, intending to pretend to be the Dongjiang army, instigating many vassal kings and making them fight. However, man is not as good as heaven, and King Fu's plan was discovered before it began.
This time, stealing chickens and rice failed to provoke the hatred of the Dongjiang army and other vassal kings, but it had already lost a general and 10,000 elite soldiers and horses. And these are just the beginning, if nothing else, what awaits King Fu is the siege from other vassal kings and the Dongjiang army.
At this point, it can already be expected that King Fu's life will definitely not be easy in the future, if he can't get out of this matter in a short time, then in the face of everyone's siege, the only thing waiting for him is death.
After Qing Huaiwu and others left Leshan, Chen Jisheng, who had been hiding in the dark to watch the play, then appeared, standing in front of the grave where Gao Jie's body was buried, with a regretful expression on his face.
Xu Fuzuo patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Why, what is there to pity for this kind of person." ”
Chen Jisheng held his chin and smiled bitterly: "This Gao Jie is also a man, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong master, and now he has ended up like this." ”
Xu Fuzuo paused and nodded silently. This will already make him understand that Chen Jisheng is not sighing for Gao Jie. is glad that he followed Mao Wenlong, a good master, in such troubled times, with the wrong person, there is no good end.
The Leshan affair had ended after Gao Jie's death, and Chen Jisheng and Xu Fuzuo also led their army back to Nanjing early the next morning. This vigorous north-south dispute has come to light so far, and King Fu will reap the consequences.
A few days later, Mao Wenlong, who was in Nanjing, received a visit post from Zhu Yihai, and Mao Wenlong also greeted him warmly. On the same day, a banquet was held directly in the Nanjing Forbidden City, Zhu Yihai came to the Nanjing Forbidden City for the first time, and after watching a circle, his stomach was full of emotion.
The banquet dispersed, it was already evening, Mao Wenlong invited Zhu Yihai to his study, and the two had a long talk behind closed doors.
Zhu Yihai was very direct and said straight to the point: "This time, King Fu's plan has been seen through and the dispute between the north and the south has been avoided, which is really fortunate." Today, I took the liberty to visit the commander-in-chief, and the king had something in his heart that he hoped the commander-in-chief would consider. ”
After this whole day of contact, Zhu Yihai has a deeper understanding of Mao Wenlong, so he will not hesitate to prepare to talk to Mao Wenlong.
