Liang Cheng's defeated army was chased by the cavalry led by Lin Yu for more than 30 miles, and before he had time to take a breath, he was chased and killed by the cavalry led by Lin Yong, who suddenly killed, for more than 50 miles, until he completely deviated from the road to Luoyang, which was considered to be stopped.

The army of Xia Guogong, who had just walked to the ancient city of Shangqiu, learned that Liang Cheng led a large army to besiege Zhengzhou City. deliberately slowed down the speed of the march, planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when both sides were defeated, they would suddenly kill, in this way, not only would they rob the credit, but also make Lin Hao's vitality greatly damaged.

But he didn't expect Liang Cheng's 300,000 army to flee in confusion in just three days. And the direction of escape was not Luoyang City, but in his own direction.

Although Xia Guogong didn't know what to do, why did Liang Chengcheng flee in his direction. However, he will not refuse the fat delivered to his mouth. And let Liang Cheng escape from himself, in case he is known by the Holy Lord, not only the life of his precious son who is imprisoned in the prison is not guaranteed, but even the head on his neck is very likely to move.

Xu Ming, who was in Luoyang City, was also shocked when he heard the news that Liang Chengjun did not regret the defeat, slapped the table suddenly, and roared angrily.

But anger is anger, and he still sees the current situation very clearly. Once Liang Cheng's 300,000 army was eaten by the Ming army, then his plans to go north and east would be completely disrupted.

Now he is just taking advantage of the flooding of the Yellow River, this God-given opportunity to raise troops. Now that the flooding Yellow River has lost its temper, if the imperial court takes the right measures to appease the people, then there will be many deserters on its side.

After all, they were all cornered, and they were coerced and lured by him to rebel together. Once given a choice, who wants to live this precarious life?

Moreover, he has just cleared Zhang Qiao's power in the army, and he needs greater combat exploits to divert contradictions and enhance the support of soldiers for him. Once Liang Cheng's army was wiped out by Lin Hao's father and son and Xia Guogong, he could only be in a corner of peace. In this case, what awaits him is undoubtedly destruction.

However, he sent an army of 100,000 to the rescue, but Lin Yu blocked him at the mouth of Mengjin, and he tried his best to make it impossible to move forward!

Liang Cheng's army, which has lost foreign aid, is already a soldier. Coupled with the lack of food and grass supplies, and the fact that they had experienced many consecutive defeats in just three days, the psychological defense line of many soldiers was on the verge of collapse. He lives in fear all the time, his morale is extremely low, and he has almost no combat strength.

The worst of them is their general Liang Cheng, after Chrysanthemum was stabbed by Yan Yun, every time he just wanted to heal, he burst out and bloomed directly, making him in severe pain.

Coupled with the current situation of being chased and beaten by others, his chrysanthemum is in a state where it may bloom at any time. The high spirits that had just captured Luoyang City had completely disappeared. Instead, there was a convulsive expression of pain, and a constant panic and uneasiness enveloped by the shadow of death......

I don't know when the night has fallen, and panic and anxiety have also knocked on the door of the hearts of these nearly 150,000 men.

After a day's escape, they were all sitting in the wilderness out of breath, and at this time everyone was exhausted, and the 150,000-strong army slept in the wilderness, not to mention patrolling and guarding, and doing defensive measures, and there were not even a few tents in the barracks.

A cold wind whistled through the wilderness, the faces of the soldiers twitched with fear, and the eyes were full of endless uneasiness and fear, and even some soldiers began to cry quietly.

Because of the injury on the chrysanthemum, Liang Cheng, who was exhausted, couldn't even lie down and rest, so he could only kneel on one knee, holding the bloodstained saber with both hands, and the muscles on his face began to twitch violently because of the pain. The black eyes also emitted a fierce light like a yin owl.

Now Xia Guogong's 200,000 army is probably waiting for him in front, and he must not go any further. But where can you go if you don't go?

The way back to Luoyang City was basically blocked by the Ming army, and even if he went back, what could he do? After such a big defeat, and almost wiped out the 300,000 army, Xu Ming would definitely not spare him.

What's more, before he set out on the expedition, he also made a military order in front of the soldiers, and if he did not succeed, he became benevolent! If he goes back like this, what will those soldiers think of him, and how will he be able to gain a foothold in the army in the future? It seems that Luoyang City will not be able to return......

Liang Cheng felt that at this time, he was like a lost dog, being chased and beaten. And it has fallen into a dead end, no matter which path you choose, it is almost a dead end!

"General, the last general has a word, I don't know whether to ask or not?" The red-bearded general Lei Huan, with a slightly trembling voice, stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Speak!" Liang Cheng replied angrily.

After receiving Liang Cheng's affirmative reply, Lei Huan glanced around, and saw that there was no one else except for a few personal soldiers, so he began to ask in a low voice: "General, where are we going next?"

Before Lei Huan's words fell, Liang Cheng immediately raised his head, glared at him with a gloomy gaze, and asked, "Lei Huan, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing this scene, Lei Huan was so frightened that he couldn't help but shudder, and after calming down, he began to say: "General, now there is Xia Guogong's 200,000 army in front of him, and Lin Yu is chasing and intercepting him in the rear. We are now caught between the two of them, and at this time our food and grass will not last for a few days, and now the hearts of the people are excited, as long as the food is cut off, there will be a large number of deserters. When the time comes, what awaits us will be a dead end. ”

After listening to Lei Huan's words, although Liang Cheng had no words, his expression changed slightly.

Lei Huan caught the change in Liang Cheng's expression, and hurriedly added: "Now north of Zhengzhou, it is the territory of the imperial court, even if we break through from Xia Guogong's defense line, it will be difficult to have a foothold. Moreover, when you came, the general, you had already made a military order, even if you could return to Luoyang City safe and sound, Xu Ming's military division would not let us go. ”

Lei Huan's words were what he Liang Cheng was worried about, and he had been thinking about this matter just now. However, when he heard it coming out of his subordinates at this time, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. After pondering for a long time, he opened his mouth and asked, "Lei Huan, what should we do according to your wishes?"

"Surrender to Xia Guogong!" Lei Huan lowered his voice and spat out six words from his mouth.

Although Lei Huan's voice was very small, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Liang Cheng. It's not that he hasn't thought about this problem, but he thinks that Lin Hao's father and son hate him to the core. And what he did was already a big crime to exterminate the Nine Clans, and I am afraid that the court will not let him go.

Lei Huan seemed to see Liang Cheng's worries, and said: "General, I know that you are worried about the imperial court, Xia Guogong is King Fu's person, King Fu has the support of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and almost all of the people above the court and the opposition are King Fu's people." When we defected to Xia Guogong, it was equivalent to embracing the big tree of King Fu. Judging from the end and the future, the status of the crown prince is already in jeopardy, and the one who will ascend the throne and become the honor of the Ninety-Five will definitely be King Fu. When the time comes, wouldn't it be as simple as searching for things to be feuded with. ”

Liang Cheng has been moved by what Lei Huan said, it is undeniable that defecting to Xia Guogong is indeed a good choice, but there is still a faint worry in his heart, that is, Lin Yu and some of his soldiers, and the current attitude of the imperial court towards him.

Thinking of this, Liang Cheng's expression changed slightly, and he asked: "Lei Huan, we rebelled, but the great crime of destroying the Nine Clans, even if he Xia Guogong is willing to accept us, I'm afraid the capital will not let us go so easily?"

A cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Lei Huan's mouth, and he said, "General, you are really smart, and you are confused for a while. ”

Liang Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Oh, what do you mean by this?"

Lei Huan responded: "General, what you said is right, rebellion and rebellion are indeed a great crime to exterminate the nine clans. But we did not rebel and rebel, and we were bent on the country, but we were only victimized by traitors. ”

Hearing Lei Huan's words, Liang Cheng's expression was suddenly startled, and then he nodded suddenly, and a sinister smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Yes, we didn't rebel and rebel, all of this is Lin Hao secretly playing tricks and confusing the public." ”

Lei Huan saw that Liang Cheng understood his words, so he nodded and said, "The general is very right, Lin Hao, the secretary of the military department, lost Luoyang City because of dereliction of duty. Liang Cheng, the chief soldier of Hangu Pass, was dedicated to the country and went to the rescue, but because Lin Hao insisted on going his own way and wanted to shirk his responsibility, he slandered Liang Cheng, the chief soldier of Hangu Pass, for plotting rebellion and rebellion......"

Lei Huan paused for a moment, and then continued quite proudly: "As long as these words are presented by Xia Guogong in front of the saint, plus the help of King Fu's henchmen and Dongchang, it is difficult for the saint to believe it or not, and even the prince is likely to be implicated because of this matter." ”

Hearing Lei Huan's words, Liang Cheng's expression, which was originally distorted by painful convulsions, also stretched out in an instant at this time, and he couldn't help but smile loudly, and said: "Lei Huan is really my right-hand man, don't worry, as long as I Liang Cheng has a bite to eat in the future, I will never forget my brother!"

Lei Huan hurriedly bowed and said, "The last general is here to thank the general in advance!"

Liang Cheng smiled and nodded, as if at this time, he had already paid homage to the marquis, with a smug look on his face. After being happy for a while, he glanced around, and saw that no one from Xu Ming noticed this, so he lowered his voice and said: "Lei Huan, at this time, we still have Xu Ming's eyeliner by our side, and I don't have any right-hand men around me who can be trusted, just in case I have a lot of dreams at night, and I have to work hard for you to run to Xia Guogong, explain what you just meant, and see what their attitude is?"

Lei Huan saluted and said, "Yes, general, the last general will pretend to be convenient in a while, and rush to Xia Guogong overnight." ”

Liang Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then you go back quickly, be careful on the way." ”

After Lei Huan answered, he glanced around, and while the others were not paying attention, he pretended to go to the grass for convenience, and under the cover of night, ran straight in the direction of the camp where Xia Guogong was located.

Looking at Lei Huan's figure that gradually disappeared into the night, Liang Cheng's black eyes immediately flashed with a fierce light like a yin owl, and a thick sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
