"This general, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! We are surrendering to Liu Zhijun! Chen Lan shouted at Guan Hai.

Guan Hai stopped the archers at this time, and said with a smile: "The lord has an order, as long as you put down your weapons, you can avoid death, since you want to surrender, why do you still hold weapons?" How do you know if you are really descending or false? ”

Chen Lan had a black line, he was greedy for merit, he just wanted to capture Ji Linghao and ask Liu Ze for credit, but he didn't expect the other party to ignore this stubble at all, if he really let the archers shoot a transparent hole, it would really be unjustly killed, he hurriedly said: "The general doesn't know, we have decided to serve Liu Yuanjun, and we are about to capture Ji Ling to dedicate it to Liu Yuanjun, so I didn't disarm, please forgive the general." ”

Guan Hai suddenly realized: "I see, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Chen Lan was aggrieved in her stomach, and said in her heart, I wanted to say it a long time ago, did you give me a chance to say it? But these words can only be thought about in his heart, and at this moment, he dared to say it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Fang should have talked to the general a long time ago, but when he was fighting with that Ji Ling, he couldn't tell the difference, please forgive the general." ”

Guan Hai looked at Ji Ling's distant back, but at this time he was a little frustrated, and said, "Hateful, let that Ji Ling escape!" ”

Chen Lan said: "It's okay, the direction of Ji Ling's escape is to go to Huaishui, before the decisive battle this morning, Ji Ling has burned all the pontoon ferries, at this time there is no half of the boat on Huaishui, Ji Ling dug his own grave, it is already impossible to escape, a certain wish to lead the way in front, lead the general to capture Ji Ling." ”

Guan Hai was overjoyed and said, "Okay, you guys lead the way." If you can capture Ji Ling, I will definitely sponsor your merit in front of the lord. ”

Chen Lan Leibo had also heard of Guan Hai's name, and knew that he was Liu Ze's confidant, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and thanked him: "Thank you, General Guan." ”

Guan Hai immediately ordered the archers, led by Chen Lanlei, and pursued towards the Huaishui River.

Ji Ling was like a frightened bird, panicked, and led dozens of cavalry soldiers to flee the way. But he had just walked to the edge of the Huaishui. Only then did I suddenly realize that the pontoon bridge on the Huai River was gone, the ferry was gone, how could I escape the Huai River? Look at the empty river. Ji Ling couldn't help but feel sad. Lamentation. The strategy of fighting against the odds was not the first of his kind. That was used by Han Xin four hundred years ago, and it was not Ji Ling's trick, it was Xiang Yu's famous work. The person who used it four hundred years ago succeeded, but why did he fail when it was his turn to Ji Ling?

Ji Ling can't figure it out, it doesn't make sense! Why can others use it, but he can't use it, is it possible that it is written wrong in the soldier's book? Originally, he was counting on a battle against the water, putting it to death and resurrecting it, raising his morale and taking the Xuzhou army in one go, but the Xuzhou army only shouted a slogan "Those who surrender will not die", and their own army collapsed in an instant, throwing away their weapons and surrendering. It was only at that time that Ji Ling understood that if he wanted to survive on the battlefield, there were still many means, not only to cut off the back road and fight to the death to save his life, but more often as long as he threw away his weapon and raised his hands, he could save his life.

I understood this, but it was too late. The ferry boat is gone, the pontoon bridge is gone, and this qiē was arranged by him himself, digging his own grave! Ji Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was really digging a big hole for himself.

The speed of the archers was extremely fast, and they had been biting Ji Ling to the death, and as soon as Ji Ling's footsteps reached the edge of Huaishui, Guan Hai had already led his troops to fan around. Seeing that the situation was not right, several of Ji Ling's personal soldiers just tried to escape along the river embankment, Guan Hai would give them such an opportunity, but with a slight wave of his hand, the arrows were like flying locusts, and those personal soldiers were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.

Guan Hai laughed at Ji Ling and said, "Ji Ling! You're already exhausted, and you can't get off the horse and descend early! Otherwise, these people will be your fate! Guan Hai pointed to the corpses of the soldiers.

Ji Ling looked at the few personal soldiers around him, and then looked at the cold and shining crossbow arrows in the hands of the big archers, and sighed to himself that today was already the road to death, but he was not ready to surrender on his knees. Although Yuan Shu is not a good person, he has always been reused by Ji Ling, and Ji Ling has always been loyal to Yuan Shu, and has always regarded himself as a slave of the Yuan family.

"Although the army is defeated today, Ji would rather die than surrender!" Ji Ling pulled out his sword, his face was twisted, his eyes were about to split, and he said to Guan Hai: "You have to waste your efforts again, Ji is willing to die to repay His Majesty Chen!" ”

Then Ji Ling looked south in the direction of Shouchun and cried: "Ji Ling is not talented, he has lost what His Majesty wants, and the crime is unforgivable!" Die today to repay your majesty! Saying that, Ji Ling did not hesitate to put the saber across his neck, didn't even look at it, and quickly wiped it on his neck, and a stream of blood spurted out, splashing blood in five steps.

Guan Hai sent someone forward to investigate, and Ji Ling was already dead of anger. So he cut off Ji Ling's head and prepared to ask for credit before taking it to Liu Ze's account.

The main general Ji Ling died, the deputy general Lei Bo Chen Lan surrendered, and the battle of Yicheng quickly came to an end, 50,000 Huainan soldiers, except for nearly 30,000 prisoners, the rest of the 20,000 horses, most of them died in the chaos. Ji Ling's last battle did not play a role in boosting morale, but accelerated the collapse of Yuan's army, and none of the 50,000 horses escaped, and all of them were annihilated.

After the end of the war, Liu Ze had already set up a Chinese army account, and all divisions and brigades reported their victories before the account.

Guan Hai lifted Ji Ling's head and led Chen Lan Lei Bo to see Liu Ze.

"Lord Qi, Ji Lingren's head is brought!" Guan Hai carried Ji Ling's bloody head and stepped into the tent.

Liu Ze couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Ji Ling was killed by Ziqian before?" ”

Guan Hai didn't rob the merit, and said on the ground: "The last general did not kill Ji Ling, and Ji Ling fled to the Huaishui side, and saw that there was no way to enter the ground and no door to the sky, so he had no choice but to commit suicide." ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly and said, "If it weren't for the hard work of chasing each other, why would Ji Ling commit suicide?" In today's battle, the son should be the first contribution! ”

Guan Hai was not complacent, and said: "Today's ability to get the head of Ji Ling is not the work of the last general, Yuan Jun's general Chen Lan Lei Bo is also a great meritorious, if they don't entangle Ji Ling, and then lead the last general to pursue, the last general will definitely be difficult to get his merit, if the lord wants to reward, it is better to reward these two people, right?" ”

Lei Bo Chen Lan was overjoyed, she couldn't imagine that Guan Hai would be so benevolent and righteous, and he didn't have the skill of killing Ji Ling, you must know that the battlefield is chaotic, and it is not uncommon to take advantage of merit and robbery, they are just two small generals, if Guan Hai is really greedy for their merits, then they don't even dare to let out a fart. At this time, Guan Hai not only did not rob them of their credit, but also recommended them to Liu Ze, how not to make the two of them grateful, and stepped forward to meet Liu Ze: "General Lei Bo Chen Lan visited Liu Yuanjun." ”

Liu Ze glanced at them and said, "General Zuo Lei Bo!" Right General Chen Lan! It stands to reason that Yuan Shu is not thin on the two of you, why would he rebel on the spot? ”

Lei Bo Chen Lan glanced at each other, bowed down and said: "Yuan Shu went against the grain, claimed to be the emperor, and committed an unforgivable crime of rebellion and capital crime. I am willing to vote for Liu to serve under the king's account! ”

Liu Ze smiled and said: "Treason and traitor, everyone will be punished, and the two generals can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, which is really a blessing for my great man." However, the two of them are generous in front of the Yuan Shu Palace, and this duke can't give you the position of the left and right generals, and even the duke is just the general of Zhendong to lead the rebel general. ”

Chen Lan hurriedly said: "How dare you dare, why did Yuan Shu's puppet emperor do a good job, the two of us voted for Liu Yuanjun, and were willing to be pawns in front of the horse, in order to serve their lives." ”

Liu Ze said: "Today, Ji Ling is the head, you two have indeed made a great contribution, this prince will reward meritorious deeds, and the right to retreat." ”

Lei Bo Chen Lan bowed and retreated.

Liu Ze looked at Ji Ling's head resting in the tray, and sighed: "I didn't expect Ji Ling to be able to serve Yuan Shu to the death, 50,000 Yuan soldiers, only Ji Ling killed himself with a sword, and he can be regarded as a tough guy!" Although Ji Ling is not good at fighting, and he is even more of a layman when he plays tricks, he also has an arrogant backbone that will not surrender, which is enough to be admired. Come on, put Ji Ling's body together, use the best coffin to collect it, and send it to Shouchun. ”

Righteousness and awe-inspiring regard death as home, such a character Liu Ze is the most respectful, Ji Ling, as the chief general under Yuan Shu, has no words about his loyalty to Yuan Shu, after the defeat, he did not choose to surrender, and refused to become a prisoner, such a temperament is indeed admirable, Liu Ze thinks that he despises this Ji Ling. Heroes are heavy heroes, Liu Ze naturally did not have the habit of Ji Ling's violent corpse in the wilderness, but ordered someone to retrieve Ji Ling's body, sew the head back to the cavity, put it in a coffin, and send it back to Shouchun.

After Yicheng completely annihilated Ji Ling's 50,000 horses, the situation in Huaibei gradually became clearer, and in the next few days, the first army company under Yicheng, Ping'a, Xia Cai and many county towns, swept through the land of Huaibei, the momentum was like a rainbow.

Yuan Shu saw Ji Ling's corpse in Shouchun, and couldn't help but weep and grieve, and at the same time, Liu Ze's army had threatened Shouchun's safety from the north, which made Yuan Shu panic all day, in addition to strengthening the defense of the Huai River to prevent Liu Ze from crossing the Huaibei River from sneak attack, it also worried him that it was Zhang Xun's defense in Yinling. Yin Tomb is the gate to the east of Huainan, once lost, the enemy soldiers can drive straight to Shouchun, for Yuan Shu, whether he can hold the Yin Tomb, is equivalent to whether he can keep Shouchun, whether he can keep his Emperor Zhongjia of the Great Chen Dynasty.

And Liu Ze's eyes also fell on the Yin Mausoleum across the Huai River...... (To be continued......)
