Li Congji hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw Cai Youqin, who was guarding outside the big tent in the morning, disappearing from a distance, and felt a little bad.

In front of the big tent, Li Congji Fei dismounted, and just as he was about to ask for a meeting loudly, he smelled a smell of blood.

"It's not good, it's hard to be a thief."

Li Congji, who has been fighting for many years, is very sensitive to the smell of blood, so he immediately pulled out his waist knife and carefully picked up the tent cloth, only to see the Mei Ji brought by Cai You lying in a pool of blood.

Li Congji was cautious, lest there was a thief hidden inside, and he would be assassinated if he rushed in, so he stood outside the tent and shouted, "My lord." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Mei Ji, who was lying in a pool of blood, let out a faint voice: "Help...... I. ”

Li Congji saw that Mei Ji was not dead, and hurriedly asked, "What about my lord?" ”

"Run...... Finish...... Save ......"

Before he finished speaking, his head hung and he was silent.

"Bastard."

When Li Congji heard that Cai You had run away, he couldn't help but curse angrily, put away the knife, entered the big tent, and saw that Mei Ji's eyes were wide open, and there was no luster in her eyes.

Li Congji sniffed and wiped it on Mei Ji's face to make her close her eyes.

Turning around and coming out of the big tent, Li Congji couldn't help but hesitate.

Cai You said that he handed over the command of the army to him, and he was still a little happy before, the same four festival envoys, but he became the commander, but now the identity of this temporary commander has become a talisman.

Once the news of Cai You's escape spreads, the army will collapse in an instant.

With Cai You's favor in front of the emperor, plus the shadow of Cai Jing's old thief, Cai You should not be punished too much. At that time, I am afraid that the responsibility for the defeat of the army will be put on him, the temporary commander, and the responsibility for the defeat of the 100,000 army is probably not only beheaded, but also his whole family, I am afraid that they will not be able to keep it.

"Give it a try, if you can get through the test, stick to it, otherwise you will vote for the beam, it's better than going back to Cai You to destroy the thief as a substitute for the dead ghost."

Li Congji made up his mind, turned on his horse, and hurried to the gate of the camp.

Most of the officers and men of the Song army paid attention to the back, and when they saw Li Congji coming back alone, someone in the military formation shouted: "Where is Cai You? ”

Li Congji shook his head and said: "The adult has a back injury, faints, and can't go to the front line in person, and when the adult wakes up, he will come to the town in person." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone in the crowd shouted: "Cai You has run away, leaving us to die." ”

"The guys ran away, too."

"Run"

I don't know who pushed whom, and then the military formation was chaotic in an instant.

Yang Wen and the other three jiedu envoys watched a large number of soldiers flee backwards, and hurriedly shouted loudly, but only a few soldiers and horses under their command did not move, and the rest fled without looking back.

Li Congji also knew that the general trend had gone, but he didn't waste his efforts in vain, and came to Yang Wen and the others.

Yang Wen said anxiously: "General Li, what should I do now?" ”

Li Congji smiled bitterly: "Cai You ran away, I will go back for the dead ghost, I am ready to take refuge in Daliang, you decide to stay for yourself." ”

After speaking, he hit his horse and came to the front of his soldiers and horses, and shouted: "Cai You has run away from the thieves, and now the court is like this to destroy the thieves to seize power, they are greedy for life and afraid of death, but they want us to sell our lives." Now that the defeat is decided, he will be punished by the court when he goes back, even if he escapes punishment, he may not be sent to death again. I have decided to submit to the Great Beam, and if you do not want to follow me, flee for your life. ”

Most of the soldiers who stayed unmoved were Li Congji's henchmen, and someone immediately shouted: "Where the general goes, we will go." ”

"Yes, we're following the general."

"Yes, we're following the general."

Under the clamor of the crowd, some people who wanted to leave were embarrassed, but the more than 1,000 people left behind did not leave.

Yang Wen and the three of them looked at each other, but they all led the soldiers to flee backwards. They are all generals of the imperial court, and their families are big, but they are unwilling to defect casually.

Everyone on the side of Daliang couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw that Song Jun actually collapsed instantly.

Li Kui said in a hurry: "Prince, let me kill it, otherwise they will all escape, and my plate axe will be useless." ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said: "The defeat of the Song army has been decided, everyone is Han, if you can kill less, there will be less, please General Han go and recruit them." ”

Han Cunbao and Li Congji and the others also got along for more than a dozen days, and they didn't want to fight with them in their hearts, so when they heard Chao Yong let him surrender, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes." ”

When Han Cunbao arrived in front of Dazhai, there were only more than 1,000 Li Congji left in the village.

At the place where he arrived at the place outside the wall, Han Cunbao shouted: "General Li, now that the defeat has been decided, the one who knows the times is Junjie." ”

Han Cunbao originally thought that it would take a lot of speech, but as soon as he shouted, Li Congji said: "Li is willing to follow General Han's example to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and also ask General Han to introduce him on his behalf." ”

Li Congji was also sprinkled, and decided to surrender, so he no longer pretended, and immediately commanded the soldiers to open the camp gate.

Li Congji rode out of the camp and said to Han Cunbao: "There is General Lao Han." ”

Han Cunbao said with a smile: "When I go back, General Li invited me to have a drink." ”

"Definitely."

Han Cunbao couldn't help but be curious: "General Li, Cai You won't really run away, right?" ”

General Li said with a look of disdain: "The thief not only ran away, but also killed the woman he brought, it is really vicious, the emperor reuses thieves like Cai Jing and his son, and I don't want to die for them." ”

Han Cunbao nodded and said: "Many of the generals on the side of Daliang are good men in the green forest, they are bright and upright, and they are also bold in doing things, and it is easier to work with them. ”

While speaking, the two of them had already come to the front of the Great Liang Army.

Li Congji turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said: "Li Congji has no eyes, he mistakenly voted for the Song Dynasty, and now he is willing to return to Daliang and be a pawn of Daliang." ”

Chao Yong also turned over and dismounted, helped Li Congji up, and said with a smile: "I have long heard the name of the barking mountain dog Li Congji, and he was also a well-known hero in the green forest back then. ”

Li Kui jumped to his feet in a hurry, and shouted: "Prince, those Song soldiers have all run away, and it will be too late if you don't chase after them." ”

Chao Yong was also amused by Li Kui's appearance, and said with a smile: "If you want to chase it, go after it, if you catch a prisoner, you will be rewarded, you only care about fighting, and if you hurt a soldier and don't take a prisoner, you will be punished." ”

When Li Kui heard this, he hurriedly said: "Why do you kill Song Jun and there is still a punishment?" ”

All the generals also looked at Chao Yong strangely.

Chao Yong said: "The Song army is also a Han Chinese, now that they have been defeated and fled, we have won the victory, you kill them is nothing more than your own happiness, and it is not beneficial to my Liang." It won't take long for my Liang to dominate the country, and then they will be my Liang soldiers, and I will use them to deal with the Western Xia, Liao, and Jin, and you will kill them all now, and then we can only train new soldiers, but in case there is no time. ”

The generals were also very impressed when they saw Chao Yong swallowing the world so angrily. While they were still thinking about how to dominate the world, Chao Yong was already thinking about how to deal with other countries.

Li Kui was stunned and said, "Let them go back, don't they still have to do against us?" It's better to kill them all. ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said, "Even if they flee back, they will also be afraid of my Great Liang, and they will bring their fear to other Song soldiers." If they are killed, the Song Dynasty will recruit new soldiers and horses, and we will have to deal with new opponents. Isn't it a sin to kill them and damage my Liang soldiers? ”

Li Kui was a little puzzled, scratching his head there.

Liu Tang said: "Then they are so afraid of death, what do we want them to do as prisoners?" It's better to recruit new troops, so as not to ruin the reputation of our beams. ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "The new army is good, but the battlefield fighting skills alone have to be practiced for more than half a year, we don't have so much time, but the Song army is all trained." If military discipline is strict, they can still become a strong army. The Song army is not a weak army, but poor command and corrupt military discipline, plus Zhao Jiai uses a commander like Cai You to take the lead in escaping, so we can win easily. With Zhao Ji's internal response, I believe that it will not take long for us to dominate the world. ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard Chao Yong say the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Li Kui thought for a while, had an idea, and shouted: "I have a way, I don't take the soldiers, I go to fight alone, so that the soldiers will not be damaged, and I will not be punished." ”

"Yes, exactly. Prince, you can't stop me now, can you? ”

Chao Yong didn't expect Li Kui to come up with a way to exploit the loophole in his words, and said helplessly: "Then you go, but once they abandon their weapons, they can't kill anymore, lest Song Jiang desperately resist in the future." ”

When Li Kui heard Chao Yong agree, he immediately said happily: "Okay, I'm going." ”

After saying that, he spread his feet and ran forward.

Chao Yong saw Li Kui go straight to the camp of the Song army, and hurriedly shouted: "The soldiers in the battalion are General Li's subordinates, they have already surrendered, you don't kill indiscriminately, otherwise the military law will deal with it." ”

Li Kui was still staring at the Song army at the gate of the camp, but when he heard Chao Yong say this, he had no choice but to let them go and continue to chase forward.

Lu Junyi said with a smile: "Since the prince thinks that it is better for those Song troops to escape than to kill, why did he let Li Kui kill them?" ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "If you don't let him go, he will definitely make noise here, and the Song soldiers have already run away for a while, they must be afraid that my Liang soldiers and horses will chase and kill, and they will run one by one." Li Kui didn't know how to ride a horse, so he couldn't catch up, so let him run dozens of miles and come back, and he was ready to practice. ”

When everyone heard Chao Yong practicing Li Kui like this, they couldn't help laughing again.

Some leaders originally wanted to chase after them, but after hearing Chao Yong's analysis, they lost interest.

After the Song army escaped, Chao Yong asked Han Cunbao to recruit Li Congji, but it had been delayed for a while, and it was too late for the infantry army to chase after him.

Only Hua Rong temporarily led Dong Ping's horse army, and he still had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and said: "The Song army is mostly infantry, and the last general will lead the horse army to catch up, and he should be able to capture a lot of people, and ask the prince for permission." ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "Okay, General Hua led the horse army to intercept it, and General Lin led the infantry army to receive the prisoners later." ”

"Order"

Hua Rong and Lin Chong immediately ordered their soldiers and horses to chase after them.
