Li Jing's worries were not useless, and the actions of the Turkic cavalry confirmed his guesses.

The arrogant and complacent Du Ruhui brought a devastating blow to the Fengzhou army.

In order to satisfy their endless desires, the entire Fengzhou army had to be buried together, looking at the soldiers on the other side who had no choice but to jump into the river, or surrender, Li Jing's face gradually slipped two lines of tears.

16,000 people, in less than two days, there were only less than 5,000 people left, this is a record that Li Jing has never had, and it is also the biggest shame in his life.

Anger, despair, helplessness.

All kinds of tangled emotions constantly shrouded Li Jing's heart, he did not lose his mind, but he was forced into this step by Du Ruhui, who had lost his mind.

The destruction of more than 10,000 soldiers made it difficult for him to escape the blame, and his heart was full of guilt and remorse.

Holding the sword that Li Yuan personally gave him, his mood was unusually heavy.

Looking back on my life, even I feel a little tired.

As a Sui general, he found signs that Li Yuan was going to rebel, and wanted to report it to Emperor Yang of Sui, but he encountered a road blockage, and finally could only be captured by Li Yuan in Chang'an, survived by luck, and became a Tang general.

It's because he didn't help Li Shimin rebel, and then he was so snubbed, but he also didn't have a high secret, right?

The defeat in this battle made Li Jing feel deep guilt and exhaustion, some for Emperor Yang of Sui, some for Li Yuan, and some for Li Yuanji, Li Jing felt very tired, so tired that he didn't want to get up again.

Slowly, unconsciously, he pulled out the accessory and carefully examined the sharp blade, which was a weapon that he didn't know how many enemies he had killed.

Slowly, the saber was placed on the neck, and the ancient Chu overlord Wujiang killed himself, and today he plans to do self-understanding on the south bank of the Yellow River, and go together to accompany those soldiers who died because of their mistakes, as well as those who are sorry for themselves.

The deputy general of the "Governor ......" happened to enter the big tent, and when he saw Li Jing's movements, he was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person pounced violently, punched Li Jing in the chest, and then snatched the sword from his neck.

Li Jing, who looked tired and wanted to finish, didn't notice the arrival of the deputy general at all, and didn't react until his chest hurt and the saber was taken away.

"What is the Governor doing? The responsibility for this battle is not on the governor, why did the governor commit suicide? Is it to ignore these brethren? The adjutant general asked with a stern expression.

"I didn't stop him and let him bring the brothers to this point, and I can't escape the blame!" Li Jing said in a trance.

"They're all crazy, what can you do?"

Li Jing shook his head and continued to say in self-mode: "After I die, if you are willing to continue fighting, find someone to take them to Fengzhou as a base to continue the war, and if you want to surrender, you can also go directly to the opposite side, if you don't want to do anything, dress up and disperse." He won't let us go, we hurt him too much......"

"Du Du ......" entered another person outside the tent, dressed a little miserable, shivering all over, and the whole person was in a very bad state.

The man obviously noticed the abnormal situation in the tent, and hurriedly bowed his head, feeling aggrieved and said: "Governor, Fengzhou is gone......"

"What?" The adjutant general was taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the man's shoulder, shaking it vigorously: "What did you say?" ”

"Toyosu is gone, it was burned by a fire......"

"What about Zhao Qijun?" The deputy general couldn't believe it, Fengzhou was located in the rear, how could it be burned down by a fire? Although there are not many people in the city, there are also many people, how can it not be solved by even a fire?

Fengzhou can't have an accident, absolutely not, without Fengzhou, what should they do? In front is the Qi army, behind is the Yellow River and the desert, they have to go south for hundreds of miles to get to the next city, they have no food, and it is impossible to go to the next city.

"Dead! The warehouse caught fire, General Zhao led people to extinguish the fire, and there was an explosion inside, and even the more than 100 people he brought in were gone......"

"This ......" The adjutant general was speechless, and the whole person was directly stunned.

……

Zhenbei City.

The war has finally ended, and the people in the city have gradually settled down, and finally they no longer have to worry about the war burning on themselves.

The defense of Zhenbei City showed its weakness, but it also showed the world how strong it was.

Li Jing did not choose to use the ladder and the nest car to attack the city, because he knew that that kind of means was useless, and he could only increase casualties in vain.

So he chose the weakness of Zhenbei to attack, and it was also the only weakness, taking advantage of the cover of the night, to blow up the city gate with a grenade, which was more reliable than blowing up the city wall, and the chance of success was greater.

But the dense defense still made Li Jing fail.

The war only extended to the inner part of the city gate, where no civilians were placed, but because of the lack of troops in the city, the retired reserve troops were temporarily activated, and the 100 people who were responsible for supporting the city gate were not even one in ten.

The corpses had been cleaned up, and they were lined up quietly and orderly under the city wall, some covered with a single coat, and some simply found a handful of thatch to cover it, and the family members couldn't help crying bitterly.

Li Yuanji clenched his fists tightly, the actual loss in this battle was not large, but Li Jing on the opposite side was even worse, first attacked the city and lost five or six thousand people, and then was scattered by the Turkic cavalry five or six thousand, and fled back to the south bank, only less than five or six thousand people, and two-thirds of its troops were reimbursed in the first battle.

It stands to reason that he should be happy about such a big victory, but looking at the corpse lying there quietly, Li Yuanji couldn't be happy anyway.

"King, why don't we take advantage of the fact that Li Jing's foothold is not stable now, let's kill the Yellow River in one breath and directly occupy Fengzhou?" For these casualties of the soldiers Jie Li did not have any emotion in his heart, compared with the corpses outside, the casualties in the city were simply not worth mentioning, he cared more about revenge, as long as there was a chance, he would bite Li Shimin fiercely.

"Old gun, is there any news?" Li Yuanji did not respond directly to Jieli, but looked at the old gun beside him, although he had long known the importance of scouts, he was far from expecting that scouts were so important to war.

If it weren't for these scouts cultivated by the old gun, this battle would be really hard to say, and if it wasn't guaranteed, the 2,000 people brought by Ma Zhou would be directly solved by Du Ruhui on the bank of the Yellow River.

"There are a lot of them!" The old gun nodded, this battle is not just a little thing on the surface, the internal situation is so complicated that it is a little hard to believe.

"Tell me about it!"

"Fengzhou has become a handful of ashes, the city is basically burned to the ground, and the rabbit cubs don't have a serious job, anyway, as long as they are not discovered, they will continue to do it, until finally there is nothing to do, then retreat, and then that's it!" The old gun said helplessly, and he decided to start with the smallest news.

"In addition, the other side is already completely chaotic, if the king decides to attack, now is indeed the best time, maybe there is no need to fight, as long as the troops can cross the river, the opposite side will have more than eighty percent chance of surrendering directly." Lao Gun continued, earlier he had arranged for some people to dress up as Tang Jun, and took advantage of the chaos to mix in among them to inquire about the news, but he didn't expect to hear some heavy news, looked at it slightly, and continued: "Li Jing wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by the deputy general, it is said that he was tied up by the deputy general, and then stared at it inch by inch. ”

"Oh? And what's going on? Li Yuanji was stunned suddenly, this battle actually forced Li Jing to this step? But Li Jing's offensive strategy was completely fine, and it was the only way, and the fault was that they did not have the equipment of bomb throwers and shells, and the tall fortifications of the city wall.

But this is obviously not Li Jing's responsibility, although it doesn't matter whose responsibility it is for the defeat, the coach must be responsible, but with his own understanding, this incident, nine times out of ten, Du Ruhui forced Li Jing to do it.

"These are just rumors, and our people have not seen them with their own eyes, so we dare not guarantee the authenticity of the news." The old gun then responded.

"Li Jing knows this person very well, this thing should be true." Li Yuanji nodded heavily, turned his head and continued to ask, "What about the others?" ”

"I'm going to ask the Khan of Xiajieli!" The old gun set his sights on Jieli Khan, some things are just one-sided information, and they still need to be confirmed before they can be concluded. But fortunately, Jieli surrendered to them, and it was not difficult to confirm the news.

"What a khan can't be a khan, there is no khan here, you can call me a dubi, or call me a cavalry general!" Jieli shook his head, and said with a slightly modest attitude, the general of the cavalry army was sealed by Li Yuanji on the way back, and the troops under his command were mainly Turkic cavalry, and nominally needed to be under the jurisdiction of Su Dingfang, the general, but in fact, Jieli's autonomy was also very large, and he could be on an equal footing with Su Dingfang, and he also belonged to the kind of status above 10,000 people under one person.

"I want to know, what did Datang tell you at that time?" The old gun stared at Jieli intently and asked directly.

"That is to say, the emperor intends to destroy the Qi State, but it is difficult to draw too many troops for a while, and our department is being pursued everywhere by Yi Nan, and the threat to Tang is not great, so we are invited to attack from the north and south, and after the matter is completed, the north city will be mine, and the north of the town will belong to them, and the city in the middle will be governed by both sides, and the interests will be divided equally. Anyway, I had no way out, so I agreed to them, but I didn't expect us to come, but Tang Jun hadn't shown up yet......" Jieli's dissatisfaction with Li Er has reached the extreme.

The old gun nodded lightly and said, "That's right, the Tang Army wants to kill two birds with one stone, and at the same time destroy our Qi country, and also clean up the general by the way." I heard a piece of news, Li Jing was named the head of the Dingxiang Road march, the Chang'an Dynasty cannot be all crazy, can prompt the emperor to make up his mind to destroy the Qi State, there is only one reason, the Qi State made him feel threatened, worried that if he does not destroy it now, he will not be able to destroy it in the future, that is to say, I suspect that the king is around ......"
