As soon as Li Huizhi gave the order, he personally went downhill and mounted his horse and crossed the river forward.

After many years of accumulating authority, his department naturally has nothing to say, but just learns from the same thing, and the officers of each department tacitly agree from top to bottom.

In other words, although there are heavy clouds in the early morning, it is destined to be not a sunny day today, but it cannot prevent the fundamental sunrise and sunset, so the sky is getting brighter and brighter. Correspondingly, the gradual clarity of the sky is followed by the gradual clarity of the situation, and by this time, even the non-commissioned officers of the lower ranks will judge from the undisguised attitude of the officers and the facts they have seen with their own eyes...... In other words, any grassroots officer or battlefield veteran with a little judgment can judge the crisis at this time from some facts that are believing.

Not to mention anything else, 10,000 battalions of state soldiers were stationed in Neihuangcheng; Tens of thousands of Liaodong soldiers no longer concealed their whereabouts, and were rapidly marching south along the east bank of the Qing River; The gap leading to Yecheng in the northwest direction of Neihuang appeared with a large army of the Yan army, and Cao Hong and Gao cadres lost directly...... These three things cannot be covered up no matter what.

As a result, when Li Jin crossed the Qinghe River and entered the Inner Yellow Triangle, he began to contact the stragglers on a large scale. In this regard, Li Jin did not care, nor did he have the intention of gathering and gathering, but just struggled to the north, trying to converge the main force of the southern army near the left of Inner Huangcheng. In fact, he and his officers took the lead in crossing the river before, which in itself was encouraging some really timid subordinates to flee directly, but the clan atmosphere of his army was too strong, and not many people escaped.

Halfway through the morning, Li Jin finally rushed to the location of Sun Ce's main force on the west side of Neihuangcheng, and found the surprised Sun Ce himself in the tired Sun Ce army.

"General Li really lives up to me!"

Seeing Li Jin throw down his subordinates and enter the battle alone, Sun Bofu was of course overjoyed, at least on the surface.

"So far, it's useless to talk more, I want to hear about Wu Chenghou's plan." Li Jin held the knife forward, and his face remained unchanged.

"I thought about it for a moment." Sun Ce also hurriedly raised his eyebrows. "So far, there is only one way to go, and that is to leave Neihuangcheng and the whole army to the northwest and continue to attack Yecheng...... According to what my Uncle Zi Lian said, there are actually only about 10,000 people in the gap in the northwest of Neihuang, and they are all soldiers hastily pulled up by Yecheng and Yingzhou. ”

Li Jin looked at the movement on the head of Huangcheng not far away, and then turned his head and smiled at Sun Bofu: "Wu Chenghou can't believe me?" ”

Sun Ce immediately lowered his head and smiled.

"I understand that the Seventh Army comes from a variety of sources, and if the march goes smoothly, it will naturally unite as one, but now that it is dying, and the overall situation of the world is faintly visible, it is natural to have their own thoughts." Li Jin looked at the unscorching sun in the southeast above his head and sighed slightly. "This is also the reason why Cao Gong was ready to personally lead troops to raid Yexia in the first place, because he was really afraid of this situation."

"But Gongguan Yan is keeping an eye on it, my father can't come." Sun Ce laughed, and actually admitted the statement of 'each with his own thoughts'. "Moreover, Huang Zhong has already disobeyed military orders, and many soldiers have fled from various departments, what else can he do at this time?"

"The more critical the situation, the more General Sun should trust the people beside him." Li Jin turned around and said calmly. "I know what Wu Chenghou thinks in his heart...... If it was General Cao Zilian who came at this time, he would definitely give up his henchmen; If it is Gao and Zhang, although they may not fully trust, they will also act immediately; The only one who came was the old ministry that Yan Gong had set up by himself, and the so-called people with four surnames were slaves, but they seemed to have to be on guard against one or two. ”

"General Lee." When Sun Ce heard this, he held his knife and became serious. "I have faith in you, for my Father has believed in you. However, you and I know very well, where is today's incident, but what is so simple as the Yan army has already laid an ambush? To the south of the Yellow River, the overall situation of the Central Plains is no longer enough to support it...... At this time, I certainly believe that Zushi is a reliable person, but don't I need to think about the family? Isn't it because he always has to plan for the family when the overall situation is repeated? ”

"It's different!" Li Jin replied almost immediately. "Yan Gong is lenient and benevolent, and he can hold the law for a long time, which is much better than Cao Yuan Ergong...... Only at this time, I, Li Jin, can no longer care about the back of my body, and wash my old name! It must be known that Li has always calculated for the family, but he has no choice but to plan for the family every time, and this time he naturally has to be willful for himself. ”

Sun Ce was slightly stunned, and then looked up and down at Li Jin, who was arrogant in front of him, before he let go of the hand holding the ancient ingot knife in his waist, and slowly bowed his head: "If General Li says so, it seems that he has a little villain's heart...... In fact, I don't hide it from General Li, I want to escape! After all, it is such an earth-shaking thing to overthrow the Han with Yan, even if the climate of Yan Gong is successful, it may not be able to fulfill everything he wants, and there will be no shortage of people who oppose him. And if you can escape alive, you naturally want to return south to Jiangdong, and wait and see according to the river. ”

"I understand." Li Jin didn't care. "Although the Marquis of Wucheng is young, he is a prince, and his ambition is naturally there, and once ambition is contaminated, there is no possibility of giving up easily......"

"Actually, it's a bit similar to being tired by the family, plus a little obsession." Sun Ce suddenly smiled left and right. "It's just a life, don't you want me to be unconvinced?!"

Li Jin didn't want to talk about this topic more, but after a slight pause, he asked directly: "The situation is urgent, what is Wu Chenghou's plan?" ”

"I want to take advantage of the fact that Tai Shici has not yet closed the siege and Gao Shun has not yet arrived, and go south along Huang Ze to see if I can miss the two armies and escape from the encirclement all the way." Sun Ce finally gave the truth. "Look at the sky, there will be heavy rain this afternoon or evening, if you borrow the sky, you can't say that there will still be a little life, but you don't dare to move lightly......"

"Is it because the defenders in the city are eyeing each other?"

"However, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, which is already terrifying, and there is also Huang Zhongbu's uncertain position......"

"I have a word." Li Jin suddenly interjected.

"Please."

"General Huang Hansheng is only because he wants to cover up for you Wucheng Hou, so he made a mistake here, his people are Liu Biao's subordinates, and Liu Biao has sent troops since the war, but it is ambiguous, so it is expected that his subordinates will be shaken."

"It's nature." Sun Ce said disapprerovingly. "Outsiders say that this battle is essentially a battle between the Yan army and the annexation of the Central Plains, but they don't know that after the Central Plains is annexed, the Yan army will inevitably be headed by Jing Xiang when it acts again, and Liu Biao has always been short-sighted...... Its subordinates were the first to be lured to surrender, but the success was also expected. ”

"That's not what I mean." Li Jin said earnestly. "After General Le died last night to report to Duke Cao, General Huang's position was there again, and he could have taken advantage of the situation to raise the two armies to surrender, but he has only been motionless and not fighting until now, in fact, he is still worried about the righteousness of the robe...... He may surrender, but he has no intention of stabbing you and me in turn! Therefore, if Wuchenghou immediately went south at this time, General Huang would never fight back, but would continue to stand in the north of the inner Yellow City, so that the Yan army in the city would not dare to move lightly. ”

Sun Ce was silent.

"As for Ximen," Li Jin continued to say calmly. "Let's stop Wu Chenghou a little."

Sun Ce was still silent.

"Wu Chenghou, let's hurry up!" Li Jin urged more and more. "If you don't leave, you don't even have to think about it."

Sun Ce didn't say a word, just bowed, put on his helmet, and directly turned around and ordered the whole army to get up and return south.

Li Jin stood in place, speechless, and even sat back and watched many of the Li disciples in his own subordinates secretly turn around and follow Sun Ce's subordinates and head south.

And sure enough, Huang Zhong, who took the remnants of Lejin and the headquarters, did not have the slightest intention of blocking it, but moved forward slightly, approaching the south gate of Neihuang, without any intention of blocking Sun Ce throughout the whole process, but had the intention of covering up for his department. At the same time, it was impossible for Cheng Yu to give up the pursuit of Sun Ce, because he was unwilling to push Huang Zhong and the remnants of Le Jin to the opposite side, so the west gate of the city was wide open for a while, and Cheng Wu personally led thousands of soldiers and horses out of the city, trying to catch up from here, and followed Sun Ce.

But at this time, Li Jin turned over his horse, drew his sword and moved forward, and took the initiative to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters that were only in their early 2,000s to fight bravely!

The battle broke out in a hurry on the field west of the city, and there were many soldiers on one side, but most of them were newly mobilized Yingzhou and county soldiers, who had not yet undergone the baptism of a major war; One side has few soldiers, but they are the children of the same clan of the Li clan, watching over each other, self-contained, and experienced in war...... It was a draw!

However, the problem is that although there is no big war between the two sides at this time, in fact, the overall situation has been decided, and the victory and defeat are clear, even if it is theoretically possible to fight to a draw, it should not be so...... The reason for this is that Li Huizhi was unexpected, and he actually dared to fight back, which really caught Cheng Wu off guard for a while, not to mention that after the battle, this famous general of the Central Plains did not retreat a single step, and fought in front in person, and the battle lasted only a quarter of an hour, and his body was covered with blood.

Li Jin fought so hard, but he scared Cheng Wu a lot...... The two are fellow countrymen, and they are former colleagues, how can they not know each other's abilities? In fact, Cheng Wu dared to go out of the West Gate because he felt that Li Jin had to surrender if he couldn't say it, who would have thought that the other party would not only not retreat a step, but instead lead troops to put on armor and go straight to him?

For a time, the eldest son, one of the promising governors of Tuntian in Hebei Province and the governor of Yingzhou, was also secretly complaining. After all, Guo Yuan learned from yesterday's experience, he really didn't want to lose his life in vain at this point in time!

will be a soldier's courage.

The contrast between the two leaders is naturally remarkable, and after the two armies fought each other for two quarters of an hour at the Inner Huang Ximen, it was Cheng Wu who was frightened for a while, and took the lead in cringing, but he was afraid of his father and the seriousness of military law, so he didn't dare to go back to the city directly, so he was ready to retreat under the city wall and take a breather through the city wall.

However, instead of accepting it when he saw it, Li Huizhi took advantage of the situation to order the whole army, counterattacked forward, and squeezed Cheng Wu's troops directly under the city! And his people even rode horses directly, with their own generals and hundreds of henchmen, and rushed straight under the banner of Cheng Wujiang! Seeing him like this, he didn't mean to let go of his former colleagues and old friends at all!

At this moment, Cheng Wu was really frightened, and his brain was almost blank.

However, fortunately, he has a good father.

On the city wall, Cheng Zhongde sighed, his face was full of helplessness, but he was methodical...... The camp governor ordered the gates to be closed just in case; On the other hand, he mobilized his crossbowmen to step forward, ignoring the chaotic areas of battle under the city, and directly released arrows on the city to drive out Li Jinbu!

The rain of arrows flew down, and Li Jinbu was naturally frustrated on the spot, and Li Huizhi himself was killed on the spot when he was more than 100 steps away from the city wall, and he himself was also hit by an arrow in his right shoulder.

However, when he jumped off his horse and broke the shaft of the arrow in the gap in his armor, he was not angry.

Not only that, but in front of everyone's eyes, I saw that this General Li, despite the pain in his shoulder, actually raised his knife and pointed at Cheng Wu's banner, which was only seventy or eighty steps away from him, and said to each other in a loud voice: "The front flag is the old man under the command of the Yuan family in the past?" Li is one of the four cattle in the Central Plains, and this cow can be sealed as a marquis, and it is about to be given to the deceased! Not only does he have the overall situation, but he also has a lot of soldiers, but why don't he dare to take it?! Instead, he stands at the feet of his father and hides, like a chick hiding behind a hen! ”

After that, his people laughed loudly, and the sound shook the field, and the city and the city heard it all the time, and their reactions were different...... The children of the Li family naturally laughed and laughed sarcastically, but Cheng Wu couldn't find a crack in the ground to get into, even Cheng Yu in the city was awe-inspiring for a while, and he was silent.

However, in the stalemate, with the reminder of his young son, Cheng Zhongde looked north, in the end, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help sighing:

"Why bother? Send another 2,000 people out of Beicheng to support, and then another 1,000 people tell your brother that if you dare to take half a step back today, you will resign and go home to farm...... Lu Xiangchang can die, and Yan Gongchang can fill the army, what is he?! Shameless? ”

Cheng Yan didn't dare to slack off, and hurried down to the city.

More than 100 steps away from the west of the city, Li Jin turned his head, but he also sighed slightly, then turned over and changed horses, and led his troops to the north...... There was a lot of smoke and dust there, as if Cao Hong and Gao Gan were defeated.

Sure enough, Li Jin was only three or five miles to the north, and before he even arrived at noon, he ran into Cao Hong, who fled back in a hurry but also lost his horse, two or three miles east of Huang Ze.

When the two met, Cao Zilian didn't wait for the other party to let the horse, so he was out of breath and waved his hand again and again:

"Don't go north! The soldiers have no intention of fighting, they haven't closed their eyes for two days and nights, and they have already been completely defeated, and you take this little soldier to the north at this time, which is just a dead end! ”

Li Jin was about to ask again, but Cao Hong remembered something again: "Just now, I saw from afar that there were soldiers and horses walking south, but you helped Sun Bofu escape?!" ”

"It's too early to escape."

"It doesn't matter, in the current situation, you and I can do our best, I, Cao Hong, can delay so far and let his son-in-law go, which can be regarded as the right conscience." Cao Zilian heard that Sun Ce had left, so he actually sat on the ground and didn't move.

Li Jin's heart moved slightly, but he took the opportunity to ask: "General Zilian, is this ready to surrender?" ”

"How can I get down?" Cao Hong sneered on the ground. "I am a member of the Cao clan in the end, not to mention how he Cao Mengde is, only to say that since Xiahou Miaocai died, we Cao clansmen actually have no room for submission...... And that day, Cao Mengde asked me to be stationed in Bo County, and after telling me about today's plan, I knew that nine times out of ten, I would die! Why don't you descend? ”

"It's just willful......," Li Jin sighed faintly, and repeated the words he had said to Sun Ce before. has always been burdened by the family, so that he was regarded as a slave of the four surnames, and today I really don't want to repeat it, I just want to live for myself! ”

"Hypocrisy!" Cao Hong laughed when he heard this. "Where are you being willful about your reputation? It's clear that I'm still planning for the family, but I just haven't figured it out! ”

Li Jin was stunned for a moment.

"Let me ask you, if you only plan to die for your own reputation, why do you want to bring the children of your family to die together?" Cao Hong sneered. "Are you a shameless person, and you have to be buried with your own children when you die?"

And Li retreated for a while.

"In the final analysis, you think that Gongsun Wenqi is a person who determines the world, and you know that this is the last time, and you also understand that the other party will not kill innocents indiscriminately, so you have changed your past scruples about the survival of the family into considerations for the survival of the family." Cao Hong, who was sitting on the ground, continued to look at each other and sneered. "You faintly perceive in your heart that the world will be decided, and Gongsun Wenqi's governance is not the same as in the old days. It's just that your Li family is the first powerful in the Central Plains, and it is not tolerated by the new generation. And the hundred-legged insect dies without stiffening, it is the initiative to surrender, but how can thousands of veterans of the war not be tabooed? And you, a family slave with four surnames, are the patriarch, I am afraid that it will attract the hostility of scholars and officials, and in vain tens of thousands of people in the whole army! That's why he longs for the elite of the clan to fight to eliminate the hostility, and he can easily die to calm people's hearts! ”

Li Jin opened his mouth to refute, but he was speechless.

"In fact, born in the world, like you and me, I was born in the big family, born by the kindness of the family, and worked hard for the family for a lifetime, where can I change it for a while, and how can I really get out? It's not that I haven't thought about being an Amway account offline with peace of mind and enjoying a lifetime of happiness. Seeing this, Cao Hong didn't care, but reached out in the chaos to drag the other party to sit down together. But now, you and I, who are not immune, can be a companion on the way when the old and the new are repeated, and it is a pleasure to be a companion on the road. ”

Li Jin shook his head again and again, but he broke free of the other party's palm: "General Zilian said it clearly, but he may not understand the thoughts of our martial artists...... I have given an order today, and I will not retreat, but I cannot wait here with you to die! It's just a matter of fighting to the death! ”

After that, Li Huizhi continued to shake his head, but he turned on his horse and re-ordered the team, which was already less than 1,000 people, to go against the current and continue to seek opportunities to fight north in the midst of the rout.

Cao Hong looked at the other party's back, and shook his head, and he waited for a while, and saw a Cheng Zi banner slowly coming from the direction of Inner Huangcheng, but he felt relaxed, but he secretly wondered if he could use his head, which can be regarded as a wanted card, to exchange Cheng Zhongde to take care of the old and young in his family...... After all, this guy is more of a businessman than a general.

In the afternoon, the sky gradually became gloomy, Li Jin marched to the edge of Huangze for more than ten miles in the north of the city, and finally saw an old man's banner again, but it was one of the seven phases of the Yan Kingdom, Han Dang Han Yi led 5,000 Ye soldiers and 5,000 battalions of state soldiers here.

The two of them stood opposite each other, this time I don't know if they were reminded by Cao Hong just now, or if they couldn't bear it after all, Li Jin did not lead hundreds of Li disciples behind him to move forward together, but instead fought the horse forward alone and greeted Han Dang face to face.

"Why don't you retreat?" Seeing that the other party saluted and directly drew his sword to reveal his blade, Han immediately frowned and spoke.

"If it descends again, won't it confirm the theory of four family slaves?" Li Jin replied slowly, and directly raised the knife to invite, the sky was gloomy, but when the knife light flashed on his head and wiped his forehead, it was still quite brilliant for a while. "I take the liberty of asking...... Is there still a soldier behind Brother Yi? ”

"Not really."

"That's right, today is the end of the day." Li Jin also suddenly felt relaxed. "Brother Yigong, if one day Yan Gong asks about him, please be sure to greet him, saying that I have chased him for half my life, but I didn't catch up after all, but I made a mistake and became an enemy of him every time, which is really ashamed."

Han Dang was slightly moved: "Why bother retreating?" You're not the only one who can't catch up? What Yan Gong can't tolerate? ”

Li Jin was stunned again, but he was silent for a while, just holding the ring knife in his hand and not moving.

Seeing that the other party was no longer speechless, Han Yigong on the other side was helpless, so he suddenly raised his spear and rode forward, and rushed head-on with Li Jin, who had started the war horse immediately behind.

As soon as the two generals joined together, Han Dang stabbed Li Jin off his horse with a spear, and the latter died on the spot.

————I'm the dividing line where I died————

"When Taizu heard that Li Jin was dead, he was stunned for a while, but he looked left and right and said: 'Li retired as a famous general, trapped in the clan, and could not stretch out, and was infamous in vain, and was burdened by it until death.
