Chapter 614: Surrender
"Your Excellency."
The soldiers who went to the front to find out the situation reported to General Qiu: "Lord Song stopped the rebels in front. ”
General Qiu's face was ugly: "We must catch up this time, and we can't let King Jian escape." ”
He took his pro-army to follow Song Chengxuan all the time, even if he caught King Jian, it was also a pick-up of people's teeth, and it didn't play a role, of course, if Song Chengxuan killed King Jian before they arrived, where would his face go, and how could the soldiers in the army hold their heads up in front of him in the future?
General Song repeatedly killed the enemy in front of the battle, regardless of the danger, and all he saw when he rushed up was the corpses of those rebels, and his face was hidden in the crotch of his pants.
It can't go on like this, General Qiu thought about it and turned his head to look at Cheng Ruhai, who was pale.
"Lord Cheng," General Qiu said, "Lord Song is in front." ”
"Reinforcements aren't coming," Cheng Ruhai said, "We might as well wait for reinforcements ......"
General Qiu said: "If you wait any longer, you may lose the opportunity, so it's better to help Lord Song first." ”
Cheng Ruhai gritted his teeth and looked forward, chasing all the way, his legs were soft and painful, and he was trembling for a while, if he didn't try his best to support him, he was afraid that he would fall off the horse.
He is a civil official, not a military general, where can he stand such a toss, but the emperor's life is like a mountain, he does not dare to have the slightest neglect, the emperor has been angry with him because of King Jian's chaos, what mistake did he make again......
Cheng Ruhai didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Let's go." Cheng Ruhai gritted his teeth and drove forward, as soon as the horse ran, Cheng Ruhai felt a heart-piercing pain in his legs, he knew that this would be the case, when Miss Xu sent the news, he should have listened to it.
Maybe...... Miss Xu did this on purpose, and he still remembered that when Miss Xu handed him the envelope, she seemed to say: "It's very heavy, my lord has to take it." "Back then, Miss Xu expected that there would be today.
Cheng Ruhai clenched his fists, Miss Xu was so cunning.
As soon as the advancing team stagnated, another lieutenant general immediately came to announce: "King Jian's rear army has changed into the front army, and it has broken through to our side, and it may want to break through us and leave from this side." ”
Cheng Ruhai said: "Aren't they going to Baoding Mansion?" ”
General Qiu quickly calmed down and ordered the generals to prepare to meet the enemy, and when he saw Cheng Ruhai not knowing the setback, he patiently explained: "King Jian is preparing to go to Baoding Mansion, but now that Lord Song is blocking in front, King Jian's team has suffered too many casualties, and the court has already known King Jian's purpose, and it is possible to set up an ambush in Baoding Mansion, and King Jian may decide to change direction and detour to Shanxi." ”
It's a detour.
Cheng Ruhai was stunned.
Before Song Chengxuan was on the move, they were only safe to follow behind, but now King Jian was forced by Song Chengxuan to change direction, and they were going to the west to stop them.
That...... Aren't they going to confront King Jane?
King Jian is already desperate, he must fight to the death, and they don't have many people and horses, can they correct King Jian? If they are attacked by King Jane, then they will all be killed by the rebels.
Cheng Ruhai couldn't help but shudder, although he was resourceful on weekdays, he couldn't think of any way to get out of it now.
Cheng Ruhai was stunned, and he heard the sound of Jin Ge striking in front of him, so close as if it was in his ears.
"There is an order from the saint to kill the traitor!" General Qiu shouted, and Jiang Shan around him immediately rushed forward.
"General Qiu," Cheng Ruhai looked over, "we...... Isn't it ......"
"My lord," General Qiu said, "Lord Song can force King Jian back with a hundred troops, how dare we fight to the end without fighting to the death, and really let go of the rebels, you and I are both sinners of the Great Zhou." ”
General Qiu didn't continue, but looked at the long sword on Cheng Ruhai's side: "Prepare to kill the enemy!" ”
Cheng Ruhai's hands and feet are cold, he is a civil official, can he take the opportunity to leave, thinking about this, Cheng Ruhai went to pull the reins in front of him.
"No one is allowed to retreat."
A deep voice came from not far away, and there was a bit of authority in the words: "Fight to the death with the rebels here, and those who retreat are guilty of the same crime as the rebels." ”
The person who spoke was not General Qiu.
Cheng Ruhai looked forward and saw that where the flag was displayed, a person led soldiers and horses to attack, it was Song Chengxuan.
Song Chengxuan's siege of King Jian's soldiers and horses was to join them, so that he would have the strength to fight with King Jian.
"General Song rest assured," General Qiu said, "there are no deserters among the pro-army. ”
Crazy, Cheng Ruhai's heart sank, and General Qiu was also driven crazy by this Song Chengxuan, and he followed Song Chengxuan wholeheartedly to kill the enemy.
He can't be crazy, he has to save his life.
Cheng Ruhai made up his mind to turn the horse's head, but at this moment, several soldiers blocked his way.
"General Song has an order, and those who escape from the battle are guilty of the same crime as the traitor."
The soldier had a calm face and a long knife in his hand.
If it was someone else's words, Cheng Ruhai wouldn't believe it, but Song Chengxuan was different, he had imprisoned Xu Qinghuan before to deal with the Song family and the Xu family, and Song Chengxuan might have a personal vendetta.
"Master Cheng, you are here."
A few riders approached.
Led by the panting King Ning and the King of Shunyang.
"Why don't you go up, Lord Cheng." King Ning was panting, his body was already injured, so chasing all the way, he had already lost his strength, half lying on horseback, seeing Cheng Ruhai trying to escape, he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he ran away, the dead king, the stinky turtle.
"What? Lord Cheng was scared to pee when he saw such a situation? King Shunyang reached out and threw a pair of pants over, "King Ning just changed the pants to borrow you." ”
Seeing that a pair of pants was in front of him, Cheng Ruhai didn't know whether to dodge or not.
The pants fell on the horse's back, although Cheng Ruhai didn't know the origin of the pants, his expression couldn't help but become more obscure, King Ning and King Shunyang were here, it was impossible for him to escape.
He gritted his teeth and drew the long sword beside him, and rushed forward with the soldiers.
King Ning's breathing still hadn't calmed down, and when he saw Cheng Ruhai fleeing in the wilderness, with a smug look on his face, he knew that it would be useful for him to catch up.
Sure enough, even his pants came in handy.
……
King Jian looked at the battle situation ahead.
The pursuers of the imperial court gradually surrounded them.
It may be that David has also received the news that as long as the imperial court guards the checkpoint, it will be difficult for his men and horses to break through the checkpoint and come to the rescue.
It's hard to imagine that he was defeated like this.
"Lord Wang, we will escort you out from here."
King Jane galloped all the way east, surrounded by the guards, which was a way out that the guards had only opened up after a bloody battle, but King Jian felt that they could not escape.
Song Chengxuan was waiting for them not far away.
An arrow burst through the air, and the arrow fell under the horse of King Jane's guard.
King Jian raised his head and looked at Song Chengxuan: "What should I call you?" General Song or Prince of Wei? No, the king of Wei is no longer there, you are not the prince, you are the king of Wei.
We don't have to divide your life and death, I don't have any benefit for you if I die now, it's better to let me go, let me help you consume the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, you can take the opportunity to raise troops and accumulate strength, and in the future, put the crime of rebellion on me, how about you enter Beijing to quell the chaos and seize the throne in one fell swoop? ”
When King Jian said this, a slight smile rose on his lips: "You and I are not enemies, what I resent is only the former emperor and the current emperor, what I am not used to is the current court, if you can make the world come to your heart, I can surrender to you and assist you in ascending to the throne." ”
