"Huh?" Fang Zhuo, the commander of the cavalry on the left flank, said in surprise: "Lord Xia, let's run away?" Don't save them? ”

Xia Zi spat at the mouth and said, "Look at the current situation, how can you save it!" The left and right arrays have been completely crushed, and the Chinese army's large arrays have also retreated, and they can't support it for long without the shade of the left and right flanks.

"Although the team of the guard cannon behind is still intact, the number of people is only five thousand, and it is not from the same guard, it is impossible to form a complete formation in the eagerness, plus they have also witnessed the collapse of the army in front of them, so it is absolutely impossible to hold it!"

"So the best way for us now is to preserve this cavalry in our hands and withdraw to Jinan City."

Fang Zhuo, the commander of the cavalry on the left flank, listened to Xia Zi's explanation, and also understood that he was now powerless. He sighed, "Why did you lose like this? ”

Xia Zi sneered and said, "If it weren't for someone rebelling, how could the battle be like this?" The Chinese army is in a large array, tens of thousands of horses, even tens of thousands of cavalry, it is impossible to collapse in one rush! Then Xia Zi turned his horse's head and took the cavalry away.

Fang Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then he also understood what Xia Zi meant, and followed with his cavalry.

At this time, the original Chinese army's large array, the formation was completely scattered, and there were only a dozen personal soldiers in front of Xie Cheng's command, and the rest of the people had already scattered and fled.

At this time, Chief Su personally led a cavalry of more than 100 people to Xie Cheng, a small group of men. But Chief Su did not command the cavalry to attack Xie Cheng's group, but instead got off his horse and walked in front of Xie Cheng, and said with a smile: "General Xie, if it weren't for you, we would have died today without a place to bury." ”

Yes, the person who rebelled against the court and followed the rebels was Xie Cheng. Last night, Xie Cheng sneaked out of the camp of the army with a personal guard and came to the camp of the rebels, saying that he was going to follow the king of Qi to rebel.

Lu Yuan, Luo Ren, Su Chief and the others couldn't close their mouths in surprise at that time, but Xie Chengcheng stood in front of them, if it was a bitter plan, and there was no general who came in person, he was not afraid of trapping himself here?

Therefore, Lu Yuan and others believed in Xie Cheng's sincerity, and did not flee that day, but led troops to confront the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court led by Xie Cheng on the second day.

Then the Chinese army collapsed as Xie Cheng said the day before, and then they took the opportunity to lead the cavalry to attack the other infantry camps, and then the counterinsurgency army collapsed completely. They won by a big margin.

At this time, Chief Su came to Xie Cheng, and Xie Cheng immediately said to him: "Quickly let the cavalry scatter and don't let the rout run away." In case they all run away, once they return to Jinan for reorganization, they can be used to fight again, but if we leave them behind and then break up and reorganize, we can use them to fight, so that our total strength will be fifty or sixty thousand people, and in the entire territory of Shandong, except for the three guards of King Lu in Yanzhou and the five thousand households in Jinan City, as well as the guards of Denglai Erfu, the imperial court will not have a complete army. ”

"The soldiers of Denglai Erfu are all on the Jiaodong Peninsula, and they can't interfere with the battle situation in Luxi in a hurry, and I ordered Denglai Erfu to be on the defensive before I came out of Jinan, and I can delay it for a while."

"Now after a little reorganization, we will immediately go west to Jinan City, and the five thousand households in Jinan City are not from the same Wei, and the people in the city must be panicked, so we must be able to take Jinan City!"

"And after Jinan, the whole Shandong will be turned upside down, and there is a lot to be done."

Speaking of this, Xie Cheng asked again: "It's just that I didn't see His Royal Highness King Qi in a hurry yesterday, why didn't I see His Royal Highness King Qi today?" Could it be that His Royal Highness is still in the future of Qingzhou? That's unlikely, right? Could it be that His Royal Highness King Qi is sick? What the hell is going on? ”

Chief Su thought that since Xie Cheng had already joined the gang, it would be impossible to hide it from him for a long time, so he said half-truthfully: "Don't hide it from General Xie, in fact, His Royal Highness the King of Qi himself is unwilling to rebel, and it was Lu Yuan and Luo Ren who hijacked the King of Qi to rebel in the name of the King of Qi." ”

Xie Cheng was shocked, he had never thought that it would be such a thing, and he was speechless for a while.

Chief Su actually had a question in his heart that was unsolved, and after Xie Cheng's expression looked normal, he said, "General Xie, why did you rebel?" Obviously, now General Xie is already a hereditary commander, and he has been crowned a marquis, and after quelling this rebellion, it is likely that he will be able to be a hereditary marquis, so why rebel? ”

Xie Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "I thought it was the rebellion of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, although only the rebellion of the King of Qi Sanwei is ten deaths, but after adding these soldiers of the Shandong Capital Division under my command, it is nine deaths and one life, although the probability of failure is still very high, but there is also a hope of success." ”

"And the reason why I have to grasp even this hope of success is because my son was killed by Yun Xi!"

"Ahh Chief Su said in surprise: "General Xie, you still have a son?" "Everyone knows that Xie Cheng only has one daughter and died of illness not long after he got married, why did a son suddenly appear?

Xie Cheng himself said: "I won't tell you, it's my illegitimate son." When Yun Xi toured the north four years ago, didn't he dispose of a large number of officials who had amassed money in the name of King Lu in Yanzhou? This illegitimate son of mine was an official in Yanzhou, King Lu Sanwei, and then he was disposed of by Yunxi. ”

Only then did Chief Su understand what was going on. Xie Cheng continued: "I originally thought that assisting King Qi to ascend to the throne of the Ming Dynasty could be regarded as revenge, although there was little hope, but there was always hope. But now, King Qi, he is actually coerced by you. ”

"Now the power of the vassal kings in various places is still very strong, and if the king of Qi ascends the throne, he may not be too opposed; But if the King of Qi is just a puppet, then the vassal kings everywhere will definitely not support it. After the death of Empress Lu that year, the Lu family continued to control the Han family, and Liu Fei, the king of Qi, first raised troops, and then cooperated with Zhou Bo and others to eliminate Zhu Lu's original origin. ”

Xie Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Now I can only continue to use the banner of King Qi, and I must not let the vassal kings of the world know." ”

Xie Cheng, Chief Su and the others, who had spoken all the words, immediately stopped talking about these things that had little to do with the immediate situation, and let the soldiers of the original Qi King Sanwei intercept the rout. Because of the cavalry, and because of the river to the east, the other three sides were open plains with nowhere to hide, and except for a few soldiers who managed to escape, the others were either killed or intercepted. In total, they received more than 22,000 soldiers.

After Xie Cheng sorted out these gathered routs a little, he immediately let the army march towards Jinan City again. The opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, and Jinan City must be quickly defeated, otherwise when Jinan City is restored to stability, even if there are five times the number of troops, they dare not say that they will be able to take Jinan City. As for the reorganization of the defeated army, it can be carried out completely by attacking Jinan.
