Early the next morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as the morning dawned, the angry Li Chong was ready to lead the army to retreat and go south to Yangzhou, but at this moment, the soldiers in the entire barracks suddenly began to have swollen hands and feet, and the pain was directly sitting on the ground and unable to get up.

Xia Ling saw this situation in the barracks, and he couldn't help but sigh in Li Chong's ear: "That little thug really made a bad move last night, and killed your army miserably, and now that the prince's army is paralyzed here, the next situation may not be optimistic!"

"Hurry up and think of a way for this king, no matter what, you must help this king get out of this adversity, and you must not let this king fold here. Li Chong ordered Xia Ling with a cold face.

"In my opinion, the prince still gathers all the people who have not been hit, and if the enemy moves, there are also people and horses to protect the prince at any time to retreat. Xia Ling could only bow his head and give Li Chong such a suggestion.

Li Chong's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he had no choice but to follow Xia Ling's suggestion and order Xue Yi to gather all the soldiers and generals who had not been poisoned by Li Yao, but with this gathering, Li Chong sadly found that his more than 200,000 troops were now only about 10,000 people intact.

In other words, Li Yao not only burned down his grain and grass camp last night, but also put almost all of his troops directly here, and Li Chong hates it now! He wants to break Li Yao's body into thousands of pieces, but now he can't move his people.

Li Chong had no choice but to sulk in the barracks.

But at this moment, something that made Li Chong have a headache happened again, with a loud horn sounding a mile away, Li Yao actually came with more than 50,000 horses and rumbling generals, and Li Yao's battle horn sounded together, Di Renjie in Jingzhou City also immediately ordered Li Yuanfang to open the city gate, and took the remaining nearly 100,000 horses in Jingzhou City to kill them all.

In this way, the total number of soldiers under Li Yao and Di Renjie was about 150,000, but Li Chong was only 10,000 enough to mobilize.

Xia Ling hurriedly shouted: "General Xue, you hurry up and escort the prince to evacuate, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as the prince is still there, we will have a comeback, if the prince is captured, this uprising will really be lost." ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you here. Xue Yi said to Xia Ling without thinking about it.

Xia Ling nodded noncommittally.

Xue Yi took the remaining more than 10,000 horses and horses to protect Li Chong and quickly retreated, while Xia Ling stayed in the barracks and stayed with the paralyzed more than 100,000 soldiers, this time, Xia Ling had already made up his mind to die, because he understood that with Li Yao's character, even if he escaped, he would try his best to catch him and put him to death.

If he can't be caught, Li Yao will also arrest Cheng Lingwei and force him out, so Xia Ling doesn't want to harm Cheng Lingwei, he would rather die in the hands of Li Yao than protect Cheng Lingwei's safety.

Half an hour after Li Chong fled.

The army led by Li Yao and Li Yuanfang was killed in Li Chong's barracks, and as soon as the 150,000 horses arrived, all the soldiers in Li Chong's barracks immediately disarmed and surrendered, and even Li Yao and Li Yuanfang captured Li Chong's army without much effort.

And as the sun rose, all the soldiers in the barracks who had been poisoned by bad drugs had swollen hands and feet, and they were all lying on the ground crying for their fathers and mothers, looking miserable.

Jumping down from the war horse, Li Yao looked at the scene in front of him, and he couldn't help laughing: "There are still rebels, Lao Tzu will defeat you all in three moves." ”

"Brother, you really have experienced harm! Defeat Li Chong in three moves!" Cheng Boxian and Qin Jing both opened their mouths to praise Li Yao.

"Did you catch Li Chong? Did you find Mingzhu?" Li Yao asked.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads.

As soon as they entered the barracks, they searched all over the barracks, but they found no trace of Li Chong, let alone Dong Mingzhu, and they didn't know where Li Chong took Dong Mingzhu.

Li Yao's brows furrowed.

At this time, Li Yuanfang walked over with someone escorting Xia Ling and said to Li Yao: "General, I didn't catch Li Chong, but I caught him." ”

"Xia Ling, let's not come here unharmed!" Li Yao stepped forward and shouted coldly.

"Feng Xiaobao, what else are you going to do besides making these bad moves? I, Xia Ling, came late, if I came earlier, where would you have the scenery you have now. Xia Ling said disdainfully to Li Yao.

Li Yao raised his hand and slapped him.

Dong Mingzhu was brought by Xia Ling with someone to arrest her, if it weren't for this dog offal, where would Li Yao worry so much, and where would he be so worried about Dong Mingzhu, and now Li Chong and Dong Mingzhu are both missing, which can only show one point, that is, Li Chong ran away with someone to grab Dong Mingzhu.

Thinking of this, Li Yao asked, "Let me ask you, where did Li Chong go?"

"I was evacuated by General Xue an hour ago, do you think we are still waiting for you to arrest me?" Xia Ling asked disdainfully.

"Where's Mingzhu?" asked Li Yao.

Xia Ling smiled proudly and said happily: "Of course the prince grabbed her and left." ”

"Hmph! All the war horses in the barracks are weak and can't move, even if Xue Yi takes him to escape for an hour, Lao Tzu will still be able to catch up with him if he rides a war horse for a day. Li Yao glared at Xia Ling and screamed viciously.

After speaking, he directly instructed Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, I'll hand it over to you here, this dog offal, you can take me back to Jingzhou City, put him in prison, and wait for me to get Mingzhu back, and then come to clean him up." ”

"That Li Chong ......"

"Don't worry, Lao Tzu came back with other people's heads and handed them to Master Di. Before Li Yuanfang could finish speaking, Li Yao interrupted him.

Li Yuanfang nodded noncommittally, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked again: "Then general, how should these soldiers be healed?"

"Get some turf ash and spirits, put it on them, and the swelling will go down in two or three days. Li Yao opened his mouth to explain to Li Yuanfang.

Li Yao hurriedly ordered someone to go down and do it.

Li Yao immediately jumped on the war horse, took Cheng Boxian, Qin Jing, and Rouge together, led more than 30,000 horses and horses, and pursued them towards the back of the camp in a netting way.

With the help of the fast horses under him, Li Yao was confident that he would chase Li Chong within a day.

Li Yao left with his men and horses, Li Yuanfang led the soldiers to escort everyone back to Jingzhou City, Xia Ling was escorted to the city to see Di Renjie, the captured soldiers, because of the swollen hands and feet, had no combat effectiveness, and could only surrender to Di Renjie, and then Li Yuanfang took people to burn the turf ashes and put strong wine on them, and the pain on their bodies was reduced a lot.

Above the head of Jingzhou City.

Di Renjie stood quietly, and Xia Ling was tied behind him by five flowers.

Di Renjie was silent for a while, and then he said to his subordinates: "Untie him! I have something to ask him." ”

"Yes, sir. The two soldiers responded in unison and immediately untied Xia Ling.

The rope was untied, Xia Ling first moved his hands, and then clasped his fists and saluted Di Renjie: "Xia Ling see Master Di." ”

"Back in Chang'an City, I persuaded you not to help the abuse, but now you are helping Li Chong to resist the Tang Dynasty, do you know that you have committed a capital crime?" Di Renjie turned his head to look at Xia Ling and asked.

"Master Di, Xia Ling is already a dying person, you can say whatever you want, even if Master Di has said so, then let me ask Lord Di a question, should the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan be surnamed Li or Wu?" Xia Ling stood up straight and asked Di Renjie bluntly.

Di Renjie was speechless when asked by Xia Ling on the spot.

Now Wu Zetianquan leans towards the government and the opposition, and has long taken the Tang Dynasty as his own motives and ideas, as long as he is a smart person, no one can not see it, but in Di Renjie's view, no matter whether the Tang Dynasty is surnamed Li or Wu, as long as the people in the world live well and live a prosperous life, what does it matter if the surname Li is surnamed Wu?

Di Renjie is a person who really cares about the people of the world, so his mind is not comparable to Xia Ling, just like he treats Wu Zetian on this issue.

Di Renjie just wants the world to be stable and the people to live well, even if Wu Zetian wants to take the Tang Dynasty for himself, but as long as she is for the country and the people, and can let the people live a stable life, Di Renjie will support her.

But Xia Ling felt that Wu Zetian's approach was wrong, as a woman, not only was she not qualified to ask about the political affairs of the Tang Dynasty, but she could not pinch the Tang Dynasty in her own hands.

Based on this, Xia Ling asked again: "She is Wu Meiniang, but she is just a female streamer, how can she be? When the eldest grandson's family died tragically, but because of her, the Shangguan family died tragically, but because of her? In the past few years, she has also cultivated a face like Feng Xiaobao, who was born as a gangster, and now she is so heavily used in him, is she Wu Meiniang a slut?"

"Hey! Xia Ling! The old man only gave people one sentence, those who really serve the country and the people have the world in their hearts, and those who really serve the public and the Tao have grievances in their hearts, you are a talent, I don't want to kill you, I just want to say such a sentence to you, I hope you can understand. Di Renjie sighed and replied to Xia Ling.

"Xia Ling has been taught. Xia Ling replied with a cold face and an expressionless fist.

Although he said that he had been taught, he may not agree with Di Renjie's words at all.

Di Renjie waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to take him down and detain him.

Before Xia Ling left, he stopped again and said to Di Renjie: "Master Di, there is one more thing I want you to tell Feng Xiaobao. ”

"What's the matter?" Di Renjie asked.

"Someone once wrote me an anonymous letter exposing him for cheating King Langya, Dong Mingzhu is also the person who wrote me an anonymous letter, arrested and brought it to me, I don't know who that person is, but he should definitely know. Xia Ling told Di Renjie the truth about his arrest of Dong Mingzhu, and asked Di Renjie to tell Li Yao.

Di Renjie's brows furrowed when he heard this, but Xia Ling ignored it, and resolutely followed the two soldiers to turn around and go down the city tower.
