Chapter 393: General's End
Gou Jing stood at the bloody scene, looking up at the sky, and was puzzled. Since the other party had not rushed out, they went there, neither had wings nor had the ability to drill into the ground. Could it be that they could disappear out of thin air?
Wait a moment! Gou Jing's mind flashed. It's impossible to go up to heaven. Why is it impossible to drill into the ground? This shanty town has been formed for dozens or hundreds of years. Is there any underground passage leading to the outside of the city?
The person in the dark room was cleaning up the bodies, and the bodies of the killed enemy were carried by him. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Stop!" he shouted. The two soldiers carrying the corpse stopped hearing the sound.
This corpse is different from the others that have just passed by. Except for the blood, the other people's bodies are dry, but the entire lower body is wet and has an extremely unpleasant odor.
"Let it go!" he said to the two soldiers.
Squatting in front of the corpse, he looked at it carefully. The dress of the corpse was completely different from that of other corpses. The lower half of the body was wet all the way to the waist, and it seemed like he had jumped into a cesspool. He reached out to grop the man for a moment, and tightened his hand and pulled something off the man's chest. It was a wooden sign.
"Yizhou, Anqing border army? Yun Zhao's people?" Gou Jing murmured.
He stood up and shouted, "Gou Huan!"
"Master General!" Gou Huan always appears at the right time when Gou Jing calls him.
"Go and check, can this person become like this?" he pointed to the body in front of him. "Did you smell it? Have you seen it?"
Gou Huan sniffed hard, then looked at the appearance of the corpse in front of him, and immediately understood in his heart, "Yes, Master Manager, I'll go right away."
An hour later, Gou Jing stood beside the smelly water, and the channel entrance had been cleaned up. The black hole of the canal appeared in front of everyone, and several soldiers were drilling out of the canal.
"Sir, this channel leads to the moat outside the city." The soldier shouted loudly.
Gou Jing's face suddenly turned dark. Without saying a word, he turned around and left. A eunuch quickly brought the horse, Gou Jing turned over and ran out of the city.
By the moat, the people in the darkroom quickly found the traces left by the other party when they left. Standing at the place where Li Xiao and others came ashore, Gou Jing's brows frowned into the character Sichuan.
"Disper the search range and find them in that direction!" Gou Jing ordered. Seeing the search team leaving quickly, Gou Jing sighed and coughed involuntarily. This time, the opponent slipped away again. Can he still catch them? He pounded his back hard, and slowly stood up straight. Looking towards the direction of Beijing, he must catch Li Xiao. Otherwise, the man in Jing would not let his family go.
His expression was slightly excited, "Let's go!" he shouted.
Gou Jing once again embarked on the road to hunting Li Xiao. As long as Li Xiao had not arrived in the south or Su Can conquer the Liang army, he still had a chance, because the entire Central Plains hinterland is pursuing Li Xiao. In this case, he will never be faster than himself, and there are tight lines of defense on both lines. It is not so easy for Li Xiao to escape. He is not desperate yet, and he still has a chance.
At this time, in the north and west of the mainland, there were winds and clouds, and major events that shocked the whole country were taking place one by one.
Congli, Su Can and Quan Changbin came with a 200,000 army, and boldly gave up the Taizhou defense line. The entire army retreated and had already reached the junction of Taizhou and Gongzhou. The news spread, and immediately caused the entire northern prefectures in the Great Yue River to panic. You must know that for the Taizhou defense line, all the elite town troops of these prefectures were summoned to Taizhou. After reorganization, they joined the battle sequence between the Tiger Guards and the Xiaoguards. It can be said that in addition to some basic forces, these prefectures have become completely empty. A large amount of military supplies have been recruited from these prefectures into Taizhou. Originally, hundreds of thousands of troops in Taizhou were guarding them, so they were restless. But now, Su Can Congliang and others clearly wanted to lead troops back, and the Mongolian and Yuan troops were bound to follow them. What should they guard? Moreover, no one can say whether Su Can and others would cooperate with them to rebel against the court?
Before the Taizhou army arrived, many officials from many states were the first to pack their bags, drove onto their carriages, and ran away in a row. The officials' escape immediately triggered a wave of escape in the entire north. Officials, soldiers, rich gentry, poor people, who had some ability, fled south and the entire north was completely in chaos.
In the West, the White Lotus Sect had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, including hundreds of thousands of people, surrounded Guizhou City. The Weiwei Commander Ye Kai was forced into Guizhou City, but he was unable to launch counter-in-command against the White Lotus Sect. He must have hoped that reinforcements would not be possible. Li Jian, who went to Beijing, had no choice but to care about Guizhou at this time. The four guards led by Cheng Qun rushed to Jiangzhou at night, trying to block the rebels north of the river to ensure that the middle abdomen of the Great Yue were not attacked.
The entire Dayue was watching Cheng Qun's movements. If Cheng Qun's movements were a little slower and 200,000 rebels crossed the river, Dayue would fall into dire straits.
At the border between Taizhou and Gongzhou, Su Can, Congliang and Quan Changbin are camping here. They also know the urgency of time, but for them, some things must be brought, such as piles of weapons that are like mountains. These are the foundation for their establishment, and the grain can be snatched away, but for a long time, they will not receive any supplements for these things. Even if they do their best, the main force will not advance more than fifty miles a day.
Su Can led 20,000 vanguards to leave in the early stage. He wanted to cross the river in front of Cheng Qun and build a solid base so that after Liang and Quan Changbin led most of their troops to arrive, they could successfully enter the middle of the Great Vietnamese land and compete with Cheng Qun. They held Cheng Qun's main force, and the Fourth Master came from the south again. Once the two armies met, it would be expected to happen.
Feng Congyi was under house arrest in the camp. Guan Zhenyun was not far from him. Since Su Can Congliang and others led their troops to rebel, Feng Congyi's spirit has completely collapsed. He did not say a word every day, and would only ask the general who was guarding him after getting up every morning: "Where have the Mengren arrived?"
When Guan Zhenyun learned of his father's death, he fell into a state of madness. He could hear his anger in the entire camp. Only when he was tired and in no energy could he be quieter.
The personal soldiers of more than 100 of them were all detained.
When Congliang and Quan Changbin walked into the camp, they saw Feng Congyi sitting cross-legged on the ground, and their faces changed slightly. Feng Congyi looked up at the two of them, then lowered his head indifferently, holding a branch in his hand, drawing something on the sand, and muttering constantly.
From Liang walked up to him and looked down, it was the mountains and geography of Taizhou and Hozhou. Quan Changbin couldn't understand the other messy lines. From Liang could see at a glance that this was exactly the comparison between the positions and forces of the Mongols and the Mongols now, and Feng Congyi was telling the line of how to counterattack.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"General Feng! Join us. Now you know that the Fourth Master of the South has raised a banner, the Western White Lotus Sect has seized several states, and the entire Dayue is in turmoil, and Li Jian will fail sooner or later!" He said sincerely.
Feng Congyi raised his head, "I have joined the Great Vietnamese army for decades and have fought the Mongolian people on the frontier for decades. In my life, I have never raised the knife in my hand like the Great Vietnamese. I didn't know before, now, and in the future, Feng will not fight a civil war!"
Congliang sighed: "General Feng, we must speed up the marching, and Cheng Qun is also rushing to Jiangzhou day and night."
Feng Congyi patted the sand on his hand and stood up. "I understand. If you come here to persuade the surrender today, if you fail to persuade the surrender, you will kill me. With such a burden as me, and it is a huge hidden danger. You are no longer worried, right?"
Congliang silently.
Feng Congyi looked at Congliang, "Can I make a request?"
"General, please say!" Congliang nodded, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."
"You can definitely do it!" Feng Congyi smiled. "I should have been a dead person. I should have been dying since the day you put me under house arrest. I should have died since you were plotting against this matter without even realizing it, but I don't want to die at the hands of my own people, even if you are no longer considered your own people."
Congliang looked at Feng Congyi, "You?"
"Give me a horse and a knife!" Feng Congyi pointed to Taizhou, "I will die there, even if I die, die at the hands of the Meng people, and die in Taizhou!"
Congliang's face was pale and his hands were trembling: "General!" he shouted almost begging.
Feng Congyi waved his hand, "I beg you! I beg you as a veteran of the Great Yue Dynasty and a veteran who has been guarding the frontier for decades!" Feng Congyi knelt down on one knee and stationed at the gate.
Congliang knelt in front of Feng Congyi with a loud bang, and tears flowed down his face, "General, I, I'm sorry for you!"
Feng Congyi smiled and stood up, "Everyone has his own ambitions, and cannot force it. You have your reasons, and I have my long-cherished wishes. Are you willing to fulfill me?"
Congliang stood up and shouted loudly: "Come here!"
Quan Changbin, who was on the other side, grabbed Congliang and whispered: "General Feng, once General Feng is free, will he be able to force the soldiers back?"
Cong Liang shook his head, "This place is more than ten miles away from our main force, and there are confidant troops we have laid out along the way. General Feng cannot do it. Moreover, General Feng has already understood that the return of the Taizhou army is irreversible, and he will not do such a resultless thing."
Quan Changbin nodded and stopped talking.
Congliang pulled Feng Congyi and walked aside, "General Feng, I will give you all your personal soldiers. Don't go to Taizhou, go to Yizhou, there is Yun Zhao's army there. Maybe, if you are there, you can return to the battlefield against the Mongolians."
