Xiao Shi thought for a moment and replied, "I left after my father's banner fell." It's an hour and a half now. ”

He Ruobi continued to ask: "Then why didn't you listen to your father's orders in this battle, but went to Ren Zhong to be a deputy?" ”

Xiao Shiluo shook his head: "The defeated general doesn't know why, this is the decision of my father and General Ren after discussion, General Ren asked me to act at the opportunity before leaving, don't be reckless, otherwise I may miss my father's life, in fact, at that time, he just hinted that the defeated general took the initiative to surrender." ”

He Ruobi glanced back at Wang Huaqiang, and suddenly said, "Huaqiang, where do you think Ren Zhong will go?" ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "It's hard to say anything else, but one thing is certain, he will definitely not go to ask for reinforcements, otherwise he will at least bring this army that has not suffered losses back to the city to defend, let alone keep watching and doing nothing in today's decisive battle." ”

He Ruobi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly shouted: "It's not good, I'm afraid that he is going to pick up Han Baohu!" ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart was bright, that Ren Zhong did not fully make up his mind to betray Chen at the beginning today, the reason is as Han Baohu said, for the sake of the name of the general, he still does not want to be a surrender general.

So although he provided convenience for Han Baohu, he did not directly defect on the battlefield, nor did he let go of the camp in the south of the city to let Han Baohu enter Jiankang, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, in case Chen Jun could defeat He Ruobi today, he could continue to be a loyal general of the Chen Dynasty.

But it is precisely because of this that he detained Xiao Shiluo by his side, in fact, he tied himself to Xiao Maha's fate, if Xiao Maha chose to fight to the death, then he would also follow up, but today only Lu Guangda's army really contributed, Xiao Maha did nothing from beginning to end, and he had clearly made it clear to Ren Zhong that he would no longer work for the Chen Dynasty, so Ren Zhong was relieved to let Xiao Shiluo surrender on the battlefield.

The reason why Ren Zhong entered the city at this time was that he wanted to capture Chen Shubao in the name of reporting the defeat, so as to ask the Sui army for merit and reward, but he was afraid that the target of the prisoner this time was not He Ruobi, but Han Baohu, who had already been in contact with him.

Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang sighed, he regretted that he had just said too early, this time he caught up with He Ruobi, and it was impossible to throw himself into Han Baohu again.

He Ruobi gritted his teeth and said: "Quick, let's go directly to Jiankang, and order the troops behind to leave one to take care of the prisoners, leave five thousand people to besiege Lu Guangda, and all the others enter Jiankang from Beiye Gate." ”

He Ruobi's order was quickly conveyed to the generals on the battlefield by dozens of heralds around him, at this time, because there were too many troops and the battlefield was too large, it was impossible to convey orders well by signal flags and horns alone, and at this time, the heralds on horseback became the messengers of the commander's orders.

He Ruobi said to Xiao Shiluo: "You continue to take care of the surrendered troops here, as long as you follow our orders and don't act rashly, we will not kill the prisoners." I gave an order to General Yuan and asked him not to hurt Ling Zun as much as possible. ”

Xiao Shiluo bowed his head and wept and said: "The general of the defeated army, how can he be brave, the minister of the dead country, he cannot be loyal." The life and death of my father is not something that I, Xiao Shiluo, can decide, let it be fate. ”

He Ruobi slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely and walked away, Wang Huaqiang also followed closely, and more than a thousand elite riders kicked up a large cloud of dust behind them, covering Xiao Shiliu and his men.

It was dark, it was past evening, He Ruobi was lighting torches, it took half an hour, and finally ran to the nearest Beiye gate, only to see the city head of the flag silent, there was no guard, and the city gate was tightly closed, the drawbridge was pulled up high, only the murmuring moat water was the only sound at the city gate that should be noisy.

He Ruobi's face sank like water, and he was about to fight his horse and step forward, Wang Huaqiang persuaded: "General He, be careful, beware of the people of the Southern Dynasty and the Wanjun Divine Crossbow." ”

He Ruobi shook his head, did not answer, but rode forward a few steps, walked to a place fifty or sixty steps away from the city gate, and shouted: "Listen to the soldiers of the Chen Dynasty guarding the city, I am He Ruobi, the general of the Sui army, your army has been wiped out outside the city, you must have seen it, now that the city is surrendered, there will be a heavy reward, stubbornly resist to the end, and the jade will be burned!" ”

The head of the city suddenly lit up, a flag swayed, hundreds of sergeants with torches, suddenly appeared at the head of the city, led by Han Baohu, and standing beside him was the white-bearded and chest-high veteran Ren Zhong.

He Ruobi's eyes were dark, and he almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood, the most feared thing became a reality, Jiankang was already in Han Baohu's hands, and since Ren Zhong was here, Chen Shubao must have already been dedicated to Han Baohu by him.

Wang Huaqiang is also in a complicated mood, now he can no longer switch to Han Baohu, today he commanded the army for He Ruobi to fight, and later took the initiative to throw himself into He Ruobi, this move is tantamount to a betrayal of Han Baohu, I thought that I could follow He Ruobi to get the great merit of breaking the country and capturing the king, but I didn't expect to be picked by Han Baohu, and the hard work of this southern expedition is afraid that it will be in vain.

I only heard the hearty voice of Han Baohu at the head of the city: "Manager He, Han has been waiting here for a long time, your battle in the east of the city is really earth-shattering, it will definitely be recorded in history forever, the younger brother is feasting his eyes, and he will definitely ask you for the command of this battle another day." ”

He Ruobi covered his chest with his hands, forcibly suppressed the blood he wanted to blurt out, and said, "General Han, where is Chen Shubao now?" ”

Han Baohu and Ren Zhong glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Chen Shubao, the king of the dead country, has been captured by me, and now he is writing an edict to let the Chen army who is fighting in various places lay down their arms and surrender."

Oh, by the way, General He, it seems that Lu Guangda of the Chen army is still fighting the trapped beasts, and the brothers who besieged him have been killed and injured by him a lot when you ran over, do you want me to give you a copy of the edict that Chen Shubao just wrote, and you go and let Lu Guangda surrender? ”

He Ruobi couldn't hold back any longer, pointed to the head of the city and scolded: "Han Baohu, you shameless villain, while I am fighting hard with the main force of the Chen army outside the city, but you secretly colluded with this traitor surnamed Ren, stole into Jiankang, and stole the merit of breaking the country and capturing the king, this matter is not over, another day in front of the emperor, I must ask you for justice!" ”

Han Baohu snorted heavily, changed color, and roared without showing weakness: "He Ruobi, don't be embarrassed, you went out of the battle against the order, so that the soldiers would have more casualties, if it weren't for the lack of fighting spirit in the Chen army, they would have sought a way out, and today you are afraid that you will be defeated!" If you fail all the way, you will kill tens of thousands of soldiers, and you will ruin the major events of the Southern Expedition, even if you are punished by the nine clans, it is not enough to repay your sins.

You still say that I stole your work? Then let me ask you, you violated the agreement and went to war without authorization, is this also robbing me of my credit? I, Han Baohu, only led 500 strong men, and then attacked Jiankang, and broke the country and captured the king without blood, this is my ability, and it has nothing to do with you He Ruobi. ”

He Ruobi was so angry that he kicked the horse's stomach fiercely, and shouted: "Come back with me, camp outside the city today!" ”

Han Baohu said coldly: "Slow, General He, don't kill thousands of people because of your personal will, now Lu Guangda is still fighting, if you don't take Chen Shubao's edict to make him surrender, causing senseless bloodshed and casualties on both sides, then don't blame someone in the imperial history of the DPRK and China to participate in you, not to mention that I, Han Baohu, didn't remind you of this comrade-in-arms." ”

He Ruobi's face was blue and white, and he arched his hand towards Han Baohu in the air: "I thank you for this, and we'll see what else happens!" ”

Han Baohu said with a smile: "General He, I have already sent someone to report to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, he will come over in the next two days, when the time comes, you had better think about how to explain the matter of going out of order in front of him, it is getting late today, and the army of the two of us will not enter the city, but if General He, you only want to bring a few people into the city to see Chen Shubao, I am very willing to open the door and let you in." ”

As he spoke, the drawbridge was lowered, and a small school rode out, respectfully handed a yellow silk book to He Ruobi, and after saluting, he turned back.

He Ruobi hated it so much, but he had no choice but to turn the horse's head and run back to the camp
