Chapter 40: The Final Battle of Suiyang (2) (1st Update)

The flames gradually dissipated, leaving only one of the pitch-black copper pillars, black iron chains scattered on the ground, and patches of unburned ashes stuck to it, emitting wisps of smoke.

The boy's voice was already hoarse, and at this time he had given up the struggle, lying on the ground, and sobbing incessantly.

Seeing that the leader of the Xi clan finally turned into ashes, Qin Wei did not have a trace of the pleasure of revenge, he looked at the young man intently, for some reason, he suddenly felt that he was very pitiful, and then squatted down and patted the young man's back gently, suddenly, he saw the young man suddenly get up, exert all his strength, and hit Qin Wei head-on, because the distance was too close, Qin Wei was also defenseless, and was immediately hit by the young man in the chest, the old injury was painful, Qin Wei stumbled, and immediately sat down to the ground. The young man took the opportunity to pounce on Qin Wei, Zhang Xun saw that Qin Wei was attacked, and hurriedly ordered the armor soldier to step forward and pull the young man up, and he was about to kill him on the spot, however, Xiaoxiao suddenly rushed over, pushed the armorer away, dragged the young man into his arms, and stared at Zhang Xun cautiously

"He's just a kid!"

Zhang Xun frowned; "He's a rebel, what about the kids?"

"Your Excellency!" But it was Qin Wei who struggled to get up, clutching his chest and panting vigorously, calming down his churning qi and blood, and then looked at Zhang Xun with a solemn face; "Please also ask your Excellency to give an order immediately and make overall arrangements for Suiyang's defense! As for this kid..."Qin Wei glanced at Xiaoxiao and the young man, "just let him go." ”

……

Yan Feng knelt on the ground, lowered his head and frowned, thinking to himself. The king of Chu in front of him is the former king of Guangping County-Li Jiao, who is the one who used treacherous tricks to kill Qin Wei and take away his Tiandun camp. However, Li Heng succeeded to the throne, and his son is now named the king of Chu, which is extremely noble. There must be a reason why he appears here, and it is better to be careful.

"General Yan, when you returned from the Northern Expedition, this king visited the door several times, and intended to serve the general as a guest, but the general did not appreciate his face, and asked for an order to be transferred to Yuhang, why did he appear in this corner of Huainan now?" The corners of Li Jiao's mouth were slightly raised, and he looked at Yan Feng with playful eyes.

Yan Feng's heart froze, and while answering, he was speculating about Li Jiao's intentions, "Your Royal Highness, I received the emperor's order half a year ago, and I ordered the last general to rush to Suiyang, and the last general did not dare to slack off, so I came here." ”

"This king knows this" Li Jiao's eyes lingered with a smile, but his face was expressionless, and his tone was cold; "What this king meant, I don't think the general heard clearly, this king is asking you, why are you here," Li Li said, and gently stationed the sheathed long sword in his hand on the ground.

When Yan Feng heard this, he secretly said that it was not good, his trip was to kill Helan Jinming before he was able to lead the troops out of the city, but killing the feudal officials of the imperial court is a serious crime, and he should be beheaded according to the law, even if he Helan Jinming is afraid of the war first, but the fact is that he did not get his will, killed the minister privately, and even led the troops out of the city, one by one, has become a major crime of the nine clans. originally wanted to rush to Suiyang first, if he could repel the rebels, he should take the guilt, and if he died on the battlefield, he would live up to the glory of his life. What he never expected was that Li Jiao would appear here!

Yan Feng bowed slightly, sighed, and said to Li Li; "The last general went to Linhuai to borrow troops, but Helan Jinming refused to send troops, so the last general beheaded him, and took the city soldiers to help Suiyang in the starry night, Your Highness If there is nothing else, please let the end of the general pass, Suiyang is in a hurry at this moment. The last general swears here that he will fight to the death to kill the enemy and repay the country's kindness, and if he survives, he will definitely bind himself to His Highness to apologize! ”

Unexpectedly, Li Li did not get angry after hearing this, but smiled lightly, and then helped Yan Feng up and dusted off his body for him, "The general is so loyal to me Li Tang, and he has not hidden anything from this king, he is really the pillar of the country" Li Li praised Yan Feng again and again, and seemed to be extremely satisfied, but Yan Feng couldn't guess the intention of Li Li's trip, and when he hesitated, Li Li turned around and asked;

"What the general just said, bring out all the armor soldiers in Linhuai City? Can you take this king to see it? "Yan Feng, when he heard this, he chuckled in his heart, could it be that this Li Jiao wanted to fight his own soldiers again? Immediately arched his hand; "Your Highness, Suiyang is in a hurry, please also ask Your Highness..."

"Eh, no hurry, it seems... Is the general unwilling to lead the king there? Li Jiao's eyes flashed, but there was already three points of displeasure in his tone.

"Okay..."Afraid of Li Li's royal status, Yan Feng had no choice but to compromise and help Li Li into the car, but Li Li retreated from his entourage and said to Yan Feng with a smile; General, can you be wronged and drive for this king? ”

"Good"

……

Ning Shu saw that it was getting late, Yan Feng had not returned for a long time, and jumped out of the car in a hurry, and was about to go to look for it, but saw more than a dozen soldiers holding torches and opening the way on both sides, among which Yan Feng drove a decorated and palatial carriage to the front of the army. Ning Shu hurriedly greeted him, but saw Yan Feng's solemn face, jumped out of the carriage and shouted; "The king of Chu has arrived, and all the troops are paying homage!"

All the troops knelt on the ground, Li Jiao slowly got out of the car, and when he saw the torches in Yan Feng's army, winding for miles away, he immediately sighed

"General, how many armor soldiers are this?"

Yan Feng frowned and replied, "The last general will take 50,000 infantry troops from Linhuai City, 10,000 horse troops, and 2,000 patrol troops from Yuhang, a total of 62,000 people."

"Good, good! All right! Li Jiao's eyes showed a hint of greed, and then he beckoned everyone to get up, and found that the county lord of Ningshu was actually on the side, so he immediately greeted him, and then Li Li said to Yan Feng; General, do you know that there is a great opportunity for meritorious service in front of you at this moment" Yan Feng has always been suspicious of Li Jiao's seizure of Qin's military power, and he racked his brains in his mind but couldn't think of a way to deal with it, now Suiyang is dozens of miles away, how can he listen to what Li Li said? However, when Ning Shu heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Li Jiao's sleeve and asked happily.

"What does Brother Wang mean by this? Could it be that His Majesty has some reward for Yan Feng? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."

Li Jiao looked at Yan Feng, who was silent on the side, and then said

"My father still remembers General Yan's great exploits when he was in the north to conquer the Turks, and a few days ago he ordered Guo Ziyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to come with a holy decree, and ordered General Yan to help the king go north to recover the two capitals, this is a good opportunity to make contributions" Li Jiao looked at Ning Shu with the corner of his eye, holding Yan Feng's arm unusually happily, knowing that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, and he had another plan in his heart.

After listening to what Li Jiao said, Yan Feng was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Since Your Majesty has a decree, the last general should obey it, but now Suiyang is in a hurry, and I ask His Royal Highness to allow the last general to go to Suiyang!" ”

"Suiyang? Why is the general going to that place now? This king has conveyed His Majesty's will to you, do you want to resist it? ”

Yan Feng saw that Li Jiao really didn't mean to allow himself to go to Suiyang, so he simply turned cold and stood up, "There is no real purpose, I will not accept the order of the monarch outside, please forgive me!" The last general will lead troops to Suiyang! After saying that, he was about to turn around and get on the horse, Ning Shu heard Yan Feng's words, and was suddenly speechless.

"Hehe, the general really regards this king as nothing," Li Li heard this, but he was not too surprised, but said leisurely while walking

"General, to tell you the truth, now Suiyang has become an outcast, as long as the rebel army goes south, this king can wave his army to take Chang'an, take Luoyang, and then come to Fanyang, when he An Qingxu is bound to be difficult to take care of, big things can be done, if the general insists on going to Suiyang, then step on the king" Saying, Li Jiao actually stood straight in the middle of the road, holding the sword in his hand, and looked at Yan Feng with a smile.

"How can Suiyang be an outcast!" Yan Feng heard what Li Li said, his heart froze, and he immediately turned around and yelled at Li Li.

"Suiyang has only a few thousand defenders, and for several months under the conquest of hundreds of thousands of rebels in the south, it has won a respite for the south, and now it is regarded as an outcast! Your Highness! What makes sense? ”

Li Jiao didn't care, laughed disdainfully, and then said, "The general also said, thousands of defenders, persisting for several months, bought time for my Li Tang royal family, they did their duty brilliantly, and afterwards I will also play Your Majesty, for Suiyang City Loyal Martyrs Tree Monument to be passed on for all generations, but at present, what the general has to do is to respect the will of his father and the emperor, and recover the two capitals with this king, and besides, relying on your 60,000 troops, to save Suiyang is just an egg hitting a stone, and he will definitely die." Speaking of this, Li Jiao looked at Ning Shu intentionally or unintentionally, and continued; Sister Ning Shu, are you willing to follow Yan Feng to Suiyang to die? ”

Ning Shu was shocked when he heard this, but he hurriedly threw himself into Yan Feng's arms, crying and begging Yan Feng not to go to Suiyang, but Yan Feng was the first time to push away Ning Shu, who was wearing pear blossoms and rain, with a resolute face, and looked at Li Li coldly and said

"According to His Royal Highness, isn't the 60,000 troops who went to attack the two capitals also hit the stones with eggs?"

"No, no, no, if you only have this little force, how dare this king attack Luoyang" Li Jiao heard this, sneered and shook his head, and continued; "Father ordered Guo Ziyi to lead 100,000 elite Shuo troops to assist the king, so the general doesn't have to worry about the troops."

"Then in that case, can you let the last general take my two thousand patrol battalions and go to Suiyang" Yan Feng guessed Li Jiao's intentions, it was nothing more than wanting his sergeants, so he simply handed it over to Li Jiao. However, when Li Jiao heard this, the smile on his face became three points stronger

"Hahaha, the general really doesn't understand the king's mind, the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, a general is hard to find, the general, General Yan, this king, what I want is you!"

"Yan Feng! If you go, I'll die for you! Ning Shu let out a terrible shout, startling Yan Feng hurriedly turned around, but saw Ning Shu with a sad face, holding a black medicine bottle in his hand, looking at himself fixedly.

"County Lord! They're still in town, and I can't sit idly by! "Yan Feng saw that Ning Shu actually used the trick of taking poison to force himself, his heart was full of confusion, his head was hot, and he was angry in his heart, thinking that Ning Shu was just scaring him, he actually stepped on the horse again and said to Ning Shu;" The county lord is at his own convenience! I must go to Suiyang! ”

"You!" Ning Shu heard that resounding words, he never expected Yan Feng to be so ruthless, and in grief, he actually raised his head and drank the poison!

"Sister Wang!"

"Ning Shu! Hurry up and pass on the military doctor, hurry! ”
