The battle lasted an hour.

An hour later, the rebels were already retreating, and many rebels began to abscond, no matter how Li Hedong stopped them, it was useless.

These people didn't want to leave Datang in the first place, but now they are being killed like this, what are they doing if they don't escape?

The rebels collapsed, and the mad demon army made a big move, directly deciding the final situation.

Li Hedong and the few dozen remaining rebels were surrounded by Qin Tian and them.

"King Chu, you have no other choice."

Li Hedong looked at Qin Tian and smiled: "You want me to surrender?" ”

Qin Tian shook his head: "No, Ben Hou has already given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it." ”

The meaning of the words is already very clear, now, even if Li Hedong surrenders, it will be too late, he can only die.

Li Hedong's eyebrows were solemn, and then he laughed: "This king has never thought of surrendering, let alone dying in your hands." ”

As he spoke, Li Hedong suddenly pulled out his knife and killed himself.

His movements were fast, and Jiang Buhe reached out to stop him, but he couldn't stop him after his fingers were cut off.

Li Hedong fell to the ground suddenly, and Jiang Buhe's fingers were still bleeding.

The weather was surprisingly hot, and after a big battle, everyone felt a little out of breath.

"Lord Wang......" Jiang Buhe didn't seem to expect such a result, the originally good situation, in a few days, it turned out to be such an end.

After he shouted loudly, he did not question in the slightest, and immediately drew his knife and killed himself.

Li Hedong and Jiang Buhe are both dead.

Qin Tian looked at the two of them, and didn't have any idea about Li Hedong, a prince who became a prisoner, such a gap was something he couldn't accept, he was really touched, but Jiang didn't agree.

He was just a strategist, but he was willing to follow Li Hedong to be buried, which is rare.

After the end of the war, Qin Tian led his people back to Jingzhou City again.

At this time, Jingzhou City has slowly calmed down, and many people have come out of their homes one after another.

Of course, more importantly, they all received relief food from the imperial court.

Jingzhou City will slowly recover, and maybe in the future, it will be very prosperous.

"Brother Qin, now that the rebels have been destroyed, are we going back to Beijing?"

Cheng Chu asked silently, Hou Junji and Su Dingfang also looked over, now, they are the heroes who pacified the rebels, and they will be rewarded after returning to Beijing.

Not only them, but also those soldiers were in a hurry to go back.

Qin Tian shook his head: "It's not the right time, the reason why the King of Chu was able to raise an army to rebel is because his fiefdom has iron ore, and iron ore allows him to make a large number of weapons, we have to find iron ore, and then report it to the imperial court and send people to mine it." ”

Hearing Qin Tian's attention to the iron ore, a sneer appeared at the corner of Su Dingfang's mouth: "My Datang's weapons are enough, why do you need to mine iron ore again, and waste the people and money?" ”

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all armed, and now that the rebels have been destroyed, the tens of thousands of blades of the King of Chu have also become theirs, even if the Tang Dynasty is now expanding its army, it is enough to allocate weapons to them.

Weapons, Datang is not lacking.

All along, Datang has been fighting, and this thing has not yet reached the time of storage.

Qin Tian shook his head: "There is indeed no shortage of weapons, but the quality of my Datang weapons is inevitably not good, Ben Hou wants to use the iron in this iron mine to create a batch of excellent blades, and completely improve the strength of my Datang soldiers and horses." ”

Hearing that Qin Tian was going to strike iron, Su Dingfang pursed his lips again, very disapproving, but he didn't say anything.

Soon, Qin Tian found someone who knew the news of the iron mine, and asked that person to lead them to check.

The iron ore is in a mountain in the fief of the king of Chu, which is very hidden, and when the king of Chu sends people to mine iron ore and build weapons, it is also in it, and before that, he has ordered the mountain to be closed, and no one is allowed to approach.

Therefore, the king of Chu has been plotting a rebellion for a long time, so he has not been noticed.

Qin Tian took people into the mountain, walked for a long time, and finally saw the iron mine, the iron mine was very large, and although the iron stored in it was used by Li Hedong a lot, there was still a lot left.

After seeing these iron ores, Qin Tian was even more pleased, with these iron ores, he could double the strength of the Tang Army.

On the same day, Qin Tian sent people to block the iron mine, and after he came out, he directly recruited miners to mine, and here, he sent people to the capital to deliver a letter and tell Li Shimin about these situations.

Qin Tian is a little fanatical about iron ore, but Hou Junji and Su Dingfang are not interested in it at all, weapons are not at all nervous, and if they don't have them, they don't feel anything.

Therefore, they did not want to continue to stay in Jingzhou City.

On this day, two people came to Qin Tian.

"Lord Qin, now that the rebels have been destroyed and our mission has been completed, what is the matter if you don't leave here?" Hou Junji's tone was not particularly friendly.

Su Dingfang's side was even more direct: "If you refuse to go back, then we will go back to the capital first." ”

The two of them came to force Qin Tian to move today, Qin Tian saw that the two of them were in such a hurry to go back to receive the credit, and smiled: "Since the two of you want to go back, then go back, the head of the King of Chu, if you want to, you can also bring it back, this credit will not be taken from you." ”

Hearing this, Hou Junji and Su Dingfang were both stunned for a moment, killing the King of Chu, what a great credit this is, Qin Tian didn't want it?

The two of them looked at each other, a little confused as to what Qin Tian meant.

"You don't want it?"

Qin Tian said that the cloud was light and light, and Hou Junji pouted: "Why not, if you want to give, we naturally want it, and we already have a share of our credit." ”

"General Hou is right, this time to quell the rebellion, our credit is the same, you take the head of Li Hedong, the king of Chu, back to Beijing."

After saying this, Hou Junji and Su Dingfang left directly.

And after they left, Qin Wu, Cheng Chumo and the others were a little puzzled.

"Brother Qin, don't you give us the credit for killing the King of Chu?"

"That is, if you give it to me, maybe the Holy One can still knight me." Qin Wu complained a little, the brothers followed Qin Tian to kill the enemy, and finally made a great achievement, but they were sent out by Qin Tian casually.

A group of people looked at Qin Tian, completely unable to understand what he thought, Qin Tian here, smiled bitterly: "If killing the King of Chu is really a merit, I won't give it to them, counterinsurgency is an attack, but killing the King of Chu is not a merit, today's saint still cares about family affection, although he won't say anything, but he won't reward the person who killed the king of Chu, so this credit is okay or not, continue to stay here and wait for news from Chang'an, as long as the saint agrees to my plan, after I go back, I will have your credit." ”

As long as Li Shimin agrees to smelt iron and sends someone to take charge of the mining here, they can go back, and now, he must protect this iron mine.
