Chapter 235: Pacifying Jiannan
It stands to reason that Li Guanqi has promised not to kill Li Moran until now, which can be said to be benevolent and righteous, but Li Moran has been completely blinded by hatred and anger, and even ignored the rule that the two armies would not kill the envoys, and killed the envoy sent by Li Guanqi to persuade him to surrender. Again the order to charge was given.
Seeing that Li Moran was still sending the soldiers on the road of no return, Qin Shinian, who finally rushed to Li Moran's side, exhorted: "Lord, the enemy army occupies a favorable terrain, I think we should break through." β
"Just to nothing?" Li Moran shouted dissatisfiedly, "My Jiannan Army has a total of 500,000 people, and there have been more than 100,000 casualties in this battle, and even Li Guanqi's hair has not been touched until now, what face do you let me go to see Chen Guangxi?" β
Qin Shinian persuaded again: "Lord, if you don't leave at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave." β
Li Moran glared at him for a long time, and resolutely said: "The last attack, if you can't attack the top of the mountain, I will die here!" β
Qin Shinian opened his mouth to speak, but Li Moran waved his hand and stopped him: "What you mean, I fully understand, 500,000 people against Li Guanqi's 100,000 people, the loss of troops is about to reach this point, if you can't capture Li Guanqi alive, even if you survive, you will inevitably be regarded as incompetent, instead of carrying such humiliation and stealing your life, it is better for me to go underground and meet Xiang'er." β
Qin Shinian was silent. The losses in this battle are too great, even if he goes back alive, Li Moran will definitely not be able to lift up in front of Chen Guangxi, and he will have to obey Chen Guangxi's straw bag in the future, and the disillusionment of ambition is indeed worse than death for Li Moran. It's just that it would be too irresponsible to use more than 200,000 troops as his funeral offerings.
Do you want to follow such a lord and die? Qin Shinian suddenly admired himself a little, and in this case, he could still calmly analyze this kind of life-and-death issue.
Fortunately, Li Moran solved this problem for him in time: "Shi Nian, you go!" Go to Shannan and tell Chen Guangxi about the situation here. Let him prepare accordingly......"
ββ¦β¦ Be. Qin Shinian had a very unbearable look on his face, and was silent for a long time before hesitating to say this word, and under the escort of dozens of cavalry, he left the battlefield.
When they had run for several miles, there was another earth-shattering shout from the direction of the Broken Gut Valley......
"Quick, we're going to Shannan quickly. Tell Dingguo Gong about the situation here, and let him be ready to be attacked by the big cadres on both sides! Qin Shinian urged everyone loudly.
"Want to go to Shannan? This road is not working! A roar forced them to rein in their horses, and in front of them, a heroic young general rode slowly with a silver spear in hand, his tuanhua brocade robe looked unusually gorgeous in the sun, and behind him were hundreds of soldiers who also wore brocade robes and held repeating crossbowsβYu Linwei.
This young general was Chang Di, looking at the pale-faced Qin Shinian and the others, he shouted again: "We have been waiting here for a long time, and those who descend will not die!" β
"How's that good?" The cavalry of the escort asked timidly.
Qin Shinian looked at the repeater in Yu Linwei's hand behind Chang Di. Although he is only a civil servant, he clearly understands that the dozens of horsemen he leads will all die if he can't even stop the first wave of arrow rain!
"It's a big deal...... he sighed and hung his head.
As a result, Qin Shinian and these dozens of cavalry became Chang Di's prisoners of war.
It was getting late, and the weather was getting colder. The sweat on the war horse's body froze into ice beads in the blink of an eye. Solidify the horse's mane together.
Li Guanqi looked condescendingly at the valley. The valley was darker than outside, and the wind was gusting.
"Did you find it?" Looking at the sergeant who was rushing quickly, Li Guanqi couldn't hold back his complicated mood and asked first.
"Found it." The sergeant shouted, "The traitor Li Moran has been killed in battle!" β
Although it was expected news, it still stunned the senior sergeants. A thunderous cheer followed......
Li Guanqi was excited and excited, because he finally saw the dawn of quelling this rebellion, at the beginning of the war, almost no one thought that he could win this war, but he defeated Li Moran in less than half a year. It is only a matter of time before there is only one Chen Guangxi.
But in addition, there are deeper things tumbling in Li Guanqi's heart, to be honest, as a person who has crossed over from modern times, Li Guanqi does not want to fight a civil war in his heart, so he has repeatedly tried to persuade Li Moran to surrender, and even this time when Li Moran was surrounded in ambush and was about to be defeated, he still promised to let go of this meritorious service.
"Take me to meet him!" Li Guanqi's tone was tinged with a hint of loss.
The sergeant led him into the valley, and after a few circles of the valley, he came to a stone wall.
Li Guanqi walked quickly in front of the sergeant, Li Moran's body leaned against the stone wall, sitting upright, his body was pierced by countless arrows, but what was surprising was that he had a relieved expression on his face.
"Do you want to cut off his first achievement, show the whole army, and then send it to Chen Guangxi, so that he knows that this is the fate of the traitor?" Liu Xia said excitedly.
Li Guanqi glared at Liu Xia, and then said loudly: "Li Moran rebelled, his heart can be punished, and his deeds are hateful, but after he is the founding father of my great cadres, their family has made great contributions to my great cadres." Now that the other person is dead, although he deserves it, he should not insult his body. Pass the order down and bury it according to the gift of the national prince! All surrendered troops will be treated favorably, and after reorganization, they will be incorporated into the new army. β
The vast majority of the soldiers looked at the emperor with understanding and reverence. Li Guanqi was the most warlike man they had ever met, he was almost synonymous with victory on the battlefield, they admired him, but what made Li Guanqi even more admired them was that he knew how to respect people, and he always kept the oath he had discovered before the first battle - he would be with ordinary soldiers throughout the war. Now Li Guanqi's respect for the dead and the enemy made these soldiers more willing to die for him.
When Li Moran was killed in battle and the news of Li Guanqi's pacification of Jiannan reached the Shannan army, it caused a great shock to the Shannan army. The vast majority of the officers and men of the Shannan Army still know that they have a few catties and taels, and the Jiannan Army, which is more numerous than the Shannan Army and whose combat power is stronger than the Shannan Army, has not even held out for half a year. So what are the chances of this tofu army, which has not even been able to break through the Wujiang defense line until now?
When the Shannan army heard that Li Guanqi had buried Li Moran with the gift of the national prince and did not investigate the crimes of others, the idea of "surrender" flashed in the minds of almost every soldier. (To be continued......)
