Chapter 1600 - Not Keeping Promises

Facing Liu Qi, a Jiangdong teenager rode out on a horse.

The little general raised the big knife in his hand, pointed at Liu Qi, and shouted loudly: "Liu Qi, Xia Kou has already been waited for by me, if you don't surrender at this time, let alone when!" ”

The cheek muscles twitched violently a few times, and Liu Qi gritted his teeth and shouted: "Sun Quan Zhuzi, An dares to take my Xia Kou!" ”

"Take away your summer mouth, what can I do?" It was Ling Tong who shouted to Liu Qi, he smiled coldly, and said to Liu Qi: "If you and the others refuse to be bound on the spot, you will personally step forward to take your head!" ”

"Who took this thief for so-and-so?" Xiakou was occupied by the Jiangdong army, Liu Qi was full of shame and indignation, and was humiliated by Ling Tong in front of the soldiers, and he was suddenly full of shame and anger, and shouted behind him.

As soon as Liu Qi's shout fell, a member of General Jiangxia rode out from behind him.

General Jiangxia, who rode out on horseback, was about thirty years old, carrying a long-handled axe, and just looking at his figure, he would feel a strong sense of coercion in front of him.

General Jiangxia came out of the queue and arched at Liu Qi with his fists clenched, and Liu Qi nodded at him, signaling that he could fight.

The Jiangxia generals who came out of the ranks also saw that Ling Tong was young, and he despised him a little in his heart.

Riding out of the queue, he lifted the big axe in his hand, pointed at Ling Tong, and shouted: "Wu Na Junior! Huangkou Xiaoer dares to have nothing to say to his son, and today he will take your head and give it to Sun Quan as a congratulatory gift! ”

Although Ling Tong said that he couldn't fight Zhao Yun, where would he put it in his eyes as an ordinary general.

He smiled coldly, gently clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and rushed up against General Jiangxia.

Seeing Ling Tong rushing up, General Jiangxia also burst into applause and killed him.

The two healthy horses galloped in each other's directions, not far from each other, and at the moment when the speed was just increased, the war horses were already staggered.

General Jiangxia picked up the big axe and slashed down at Ling Tong.

Ling Tong didn't dodge either, and when the big axe slashed at him, he slashed the big knife in his hand, and the blade went straight to General Jiang Xia's neck.

A silver arc of light streaked by, and two fast horses staggered by.

Carrying the big knife, he rushed out a few steps, Ling Tong grabbed the reins, and turned his war horse to face General Jiangxia, who was staggering past him.

General Jiangxia on horseback was left with only a headless body.

Blood gushed from his neck, and General Jiang Xia's head was left on the ground that had staggered past Ling Tong, but his body had already been taken away by the war horse.

"Who else stepped forward?" Seeing the body of General Jiangdong falling from the horse, Ling Tong turned around his horse, facing the Jiangxia army led by Liu Qi, and shouted at the top of his voice.

General Jiangxia, who faced Ling Tong, could be regarded as a fierce general under Liu Qi, but he didn't want to be unable to go a round in front of Ling Tong.

The Jiang Xia generals who followed Liu Qi looked at each other one by one, and no one dared to rush forward again.

Seeing that no one dared to step forward, Ling Tong pointed at Liu Qi with a big knife in one hand, and said coldly: "Liu Qi, if you don't descend at this time, when will you stay?" ”

Staring at Ling Tong angrily, Liu Qi lifted the reins, turned around the war horse, and walked to the side.

Jiang Xiajun, who was following him, also turned around, followed him, and ran towards the outside of Jiangxia City.

Seeing Liu Qi lead the army away, Ling Tong did not lead the army to fight.

They only want Jiangxia City, not Liu Qi!

When Liu Qi left, he would definitely ask for help from the Han army stationed in Jingzhou.

Ling Cao was killed by the Han army, and Ling Tong had already hated the Han soldiers, and he wished that Liu Qi would lead the Han army to Jiangxia and give him a chance to fight a decisive battle with the Han army.

Seeing Liu Qi lead the army to leave, Ling Tong shouted to the Jiangdong Army soldiers behind him: "Pass the order, stabilize the city defense, the people in the city must not wander idle, wait for Liu Qi to lead the reinforcements to come!" ”

The officers and soldiers of the Jiangdong Army lined up behind Ling Tong responded in unison, and the team quickly dispersed, each busy stabilizing the city defense.

There was no general under his command who could defeat Ling Tong, and Liu Qi, who had no choice but to lead the army to evacuate, kept looking back at Jiangxia all the way.

Jiang Xia City was getting farther and farther away, and it was about to disappear from his sight.

The Cai family supported Liu Cong to seize Jingzhou, and Jiangxia became Liu Qi's only refuge.

The loss of Jiangxia meant that Liu Qi had no basis from now on, if he could not recapture this place, and the imperial court did not accept him, he could only slowly die out in Jingzhou.

Full of sorrow, Liu Qi looked back at Jiangxia City and let out a long sigh.

The army is in Jiangxia City, he is not Ling Tong's opponent, and now that he is out of the city, it is impossible to storm Jiangxia.

All he could count on was that the Han army would give him assistance to help him recapture Jiangxia, or an edict from the imperial court to give him a place to live!

"Childe, I can't wait for Xiangyang to return, Jiangxia is also lost, where should I go now?" The team marched towards the hinterland of Jingzhou, and a Jiangxia general behind Liu Qi stepped forward and whispered a question to him.

General Jiangxia happened to ask about Liu Qi's sore spot.

Now he is like a lost dog, he doesn't know where to go!

Frowning, Liu Qi thought for a while, and said to General Jiang Xia: "Let's march in the direction of Xiangyang, send people to Xiangyang, and present it to the prime minister, just say that I lost Xiakou!" If the prime minister refuses to accept us, I am afraid that we will only die! ”

"No!" also knew that things had reached a very strict situation, General Jiangxia answered, turned around the war horse, and gave an order to the few personal soldiers who followed behind.

After General Jiangxia gave orders to the pro-soldiers, two pro-soldiers immediately left the team on horseback and galloped all the way in the direction of Xiangyang.

Riding a horse slowly, Liu Qi watched the two personal soldiers leave.

It wasn't until the back of the pro-soldier disappeared from sight that Liu Qi looked forward again.

Furrowing his brows, his face was entangled.

The road ahead was long, but he didn't know where he would end.

If the Xiakou Han army refused to accept him because of his loss, it would have been very difficult for him to survive in Jingzhou for ten days and a half months with these soldiers and horses under his command.

The Cai family has not yet sacrificed Jingzhou, and the affairs of Jingzhou are still up to her.

Although Jingzhou will not be guaranteed sooner or later, Liu Qi is alive, after all, there are people competing with Liu Cong for the position of Jingzhou Mu, and the Cai family will also have a lot less capital to obtain benefits from the imperial court!

With this powerful relationship, the Cai family still has a sufficient reason to kill Liu Qi.

marching slowly with the team, Jiang Xiajun, who followed behind Liu Qi, hung their heads one by one, like a lost dog.

In terms of numbers, they were no less than the Jiangdong Army that occupied Jiangxia.

Ke Ling Tongyi killed a Jiang Xia fierce general, so that the morale of Jiang Xia's army suddenly fell to the bottom, and there was no longer the slightest courage to step forward to fight.

led the army to evacuate and did not start a fight with the Jiangdong Army, but Liu Qi also considered that even if he fought, with the state of the Jiangxia Army, it was impossible to defeat the Jiangdong Army.

Rather than die in Jiangxia, it is better to make a last fight and bet that the Han army will accept them.

As long as the Han army accepted them and decided to send troops to Jiangxia, he would still have a chance to return to this land.

Even if he can't return and is sent back to Luoyang by the Han army, the current emperor will give him a proper placement.

With the army to change the busy march, seeing that the sun was about to set, and the earth was also reflected in the red glow, Liu Qi was about to order the army to be stationed on the spot, a personal soldier raised his hand and pointed forward, shouting to him: "Son, there are a few fast horses ahead!" ”

Hearing the shouts of the pro-soldiers, Liu Qi looked forward.

Sure enough, four or five figures riding fast horses appeared in the direction of the setting sun.

The fast horses that rushed up against them had apparently spotted their savings, but they did not slow down, but the knights on horseback kept waving their whips, urging the horses to speed up.

A few of the soldiers who followed Liu Qi saw the fast horses speeding up, raised their longbows, and aimed at them.

Raising his arm, he stopped the movement of his own soldiers, and looked at the fast horses that were gradually approaching, and the expression on Liu Qi's face became more and more solemn.

He could already see that on the back of the two fast horses walking in the front were the lost soldiers sent earlier to present Xiakou to Pang Tong, and the several horses on which the soldiers followed were riding several Han soldiers wearing big red armor.

Seeing the Han army coming with his own soldiers, Liu Qi was full of mixed feelings in his heart.

He didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings.

lost Xiakou, but the Han army still sent people to meet him at this time, and the possibility of accepting him was not small.

The only thing that made him wonder was that these Han troops came too quickly.

With the footsteps of the two pro-soldiers, they felt that it would take at least six or seven days for Xiangyang to set off during the day, and they would turn back, and the distance they traveled was obviously not far.

Could it be that this Han army was specially sent by Pang Tong to cooperate with him in defending because he had long known that Jiangxia was going to be lost?

I was muttering in my heart, and I was already approaching on a fast horse.

After the two personal soldiers reined in their horses, one of them clasped his fists and said to Liu Qi: "Qiyu Gongzi, on the way to Xiangyang, the two of us encountered a court soldier and horse. The leading general asked the two of us to come to meet with Gongzi with a few court soldiers, saying that there was something important to discuss with Gongzi! ”

Hearing that the Han army was really coming, Liu Qi hurriedly turned his gaze to the faces of the Han soldiers who came with his own soldiers.

Several Han soldiers stepped forward immediately, and the leading Han army arched towards Liu Qi with their fists and said: "We are under the command of two generals, Liang Xing and Feng Xi, and on the orders of the generals, I have come to ask Gongzi, how is Jiangxia?" ”

"Jiang Xia has been lost!" With a sigh, Liu Qi twisted his head to the side, and said with a look of annoyance: "The Jiangdong Sun clan sent a young general, isn't it amazing!" A certain commander stepped forward to fight, but he was cut off the horse as soon as he joined ......"

Han Jun, who listened to his words, did not speak, just silently waited for him to finish speaking.

"I thought that I couldn't fight, so I led the soldiers to withdraw, and failed to fulfill the promise I made to the prime minister, and I was very ashamed!" These words really came from Liu Qi's heart, but what he was afraid of was not that Jiang Xia was lost, but that the Han army did not accept him, so that he would wander in Jingzhou like a lonely ghost in the future!
