The eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Cao Bin tried hard to open it, but no matter how hard he tried, his eyes were still in chaos. His mind was buzzing, and there seemed to be still sound of horse hooves like heavy rain, and the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. The enemy's hideous face continued to expand in front of him, and then expanded, and the blade with blood slashed towards him.

Cao Bin screamed and opened his eyes suddenly.

This was the biggest humiliation in his life. During the process of running away from death, he had to throw out his personal soldiers again and again to buy time for his escape.

In the end, although I ran away, none of my personal guards came back.

Tens of thousands of troops had collapsed on the whole line. As expected, after the Tang army had cleaned up the results of Gunhai, they would inevitably raise their troops to seize Wuning. The only meaning of escaping after paying a huge price was to immediately organize defense in Wuning, and delay the Tang army's invasion of Wuning as much as possible, so as to wait for the Third Highness to end the Battle of Chang'an before leading the army to aid.

Time is gone, I must do everything immediately.

The only favorable news was probably that he immediately sent an envoy back in the early stages of being besieged, asking the Chief Zhou Qun to recruit troops immediately. Now Wu Ning should be prepared.

My head became clear and my eyes gradually became clear. The house emitted bright light from the glass. When I first entered the city, it must have been dawn. Now I have lit the light. Could it be that I have slept all day?

When he wanted to sit up, Cao Bin suddenly realized that his body could not move.

He looked at his hand in horror.

Could it be that I am overworked and paralyzed?

His eyes looked at his hand.

Everything he saw was worse than he had expected.

His hands were tied tightly to the bed.

Both hands were pulled apart, one left and one right, tied to the bed.

His legs wanted to bend and stretch, but he moved slightly, and another severe pain was felt at his ankles. His heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley and his feet were tied up.

When I tilted my neck, my neck was strangled and my head was fixed on the bed.

Anger and fear were filled with all his thoughts in an instant.

Zhou Qun rebelled.

He immediately determined this terrible reality, but could not think of any solution to the current dilemma.

The door creaked, and then footsteps approached, and a face appeared above Cao Bin.

"The general is finally awake?" Zhou Qun said with a smile.

"Zhou Qun, how dare you betray the Third Highness?" Cao Bin shouted angrily: "The Third Highness treats you very well! Mr. Cao has always treated you well. When you are so repetitive, where is your conscience?"

Zhou Qun sighed, pulled a chair and sat in front of Cao Bin, and said, "General, you can't blame me for this. I'm just asking for life. If you don't ruin tens of thousands of troops in Gunzhou and give me ten courage, I wouldn't dare to do this!"

"After the third prince solves the problem of Chang'an, he will definitely peel you when he comes back!" Cao Bin said.

"General, what's the use of threatening me at this time!" Zhou Qun shook his head and said, "Even if the Third Prince wants to peel me off, it's a matter for the future. But if I don't lose to Tang Jun, they will peel me off immediately. I said, I can't blame me, I can only blame myself if I blame you."

Cao Bin's eyes were red and he stared at Zhou Qun, as if he was about to spit out the fire.

"When the messenger first came, I still tried my best to recruit soldiers and organize reinforcements to save the general. Unfortunately, when the prefectures and counties below heard that the general was in trouble, and none of them offered money readily, I raised three thousand people. How do you ask how to save you? Since you can't save you, I can only save yourself." Zhou Qun said: "So, General, you planted the cause. When you arrive at me, it's just a natural result. Why do you have such great resentment towards me!"

Cao Bin fell silent all of a sudden.

Yes, there is a cause and effect. It is originally because I am greedy. If I had just driven Dai Yue away and not greedy for Gunhai's territory and guarded Wuning and Huainan, how could I have reached this point?

"Zhou Qun, did you ask your son to offer Huainan to Tang Jun?"

Zhou Qun nodded: "General, this is inevitable. Wuning is difficult to defend, and it has become the food of the Tang army. If someone Zhou wants to have a place in the Tang Dynasty and not be abandoned by them, he must make greater contributions. I am afraid that the Tang army will not regard me as a contribution to Wuning, so there will be only Huainan."

Cao Bin sighed, his heart as if dead.

"Of course, General Cao will also be my credit." Zhou Qun continued: "General Cao's identity is extraordinary. If I offer General Cao, I will definitely be credited with a lot of credit by the Tang army. I really didn't expect that under such circumstances, General Cao would still be able to escape back, but this is just right, so I can make another lot of credit. I am here, thank General Cao."

Cao Bin gritted his teeth and stared at Zhou Qun tightly, and blood oozed out of the corners of his mouth.

"General, please have a good rest. The vanguard of the Tang Army is only one day away from Xuzhou." Zhou Qun bowed. "The officials of the prefectures and counties under Wuning have already been with Zhou. Anyway, Zhou is now coordinating all matters, so he is really busy. He said goodbye."

Seeing Zhou Qun about to step out of the room, Cao Bin suddenly screamed.

"Zhou Changshi!"

Zhou Qun turned around, looked at Cao Bin who was at the end of the road, and smiled and said, "What else does General Cao have to say?"

"There is nothing to say." Cao Bin said: "It's just a matter of asking Zhou Changshi."

"We will work together. General Cao has always been kind to Zhou. As long as he can do his best, he will do his best." Zhou Qun said seriously.

"Since you think that Cao has always been good to you, then Cao will ask you something in the end." Cao Bin said: "Kill me and give my head to Tang Jun. A dead Cao Bin or a living Cao Bin will have any impact on your contribution, but it is different for me. I don't want to fall alive into the hands of Tang Jun. Kill me! Kill me!"

Looking at Cao Bin, who was tied tightly on the bed, gritting his teeth and bloody corners of his eyes and mouth, Zhou Qun was shocked and took two steps back, tripped on the threshold, and almost fell down.

"Zhou Changshi, kill me, otherwise even after I die, I will turn into a ghost and seek your life day and night." Cao Bin said sternly.

Zhou Qun took a deep breath, "Okay, since General Cao is determined to die, I will meet your last request, which is what our colleagues can do for you in the end."

He clapped his hands and two guards outside the door responded.

Looking at the guard who was approaching step by step with a knife, Cao Bin smiled miserably, closed his eyes, and shouted: "Third Prince, I am sorry for you!"

The cold light flashed, the sword fell down, blood splashed, and a big head rolled down from the bed to the bed, and his eyes widened.

Zhou Qun shivered with excitement and left with a cover.

One day later, Jose led the Tang army vanguard to the city of Wuning and set up a camp.

The gates of Wuning were wide open. The prefecture chiefs and gentry led by Zhou Qun led sheep and pigs to drive away the Tang army camp with trucks of reward supplies.

Jose looked at the lifelike head of Cao Bin, who was cursed on the big case, and said no tone for a long time. Liu Xing, who was standing on his side, had a complicated expression.

"Liu Xing, you drive your horse to chase a person who is unavailable for hundreds of miles. You can easily die so worthless!" There was no outsider in the tent. Jose looked at Liu Xing and sighed: "This person is also a hero of a generation. It is really a pity and sad to end up in this end."

"If I had known this, why didn't I die under my knife!" Liu Xing stroked the horizontal knife around his waist, "A certain family also thinks he is a hero. He dies in the hands of such a lush person, how could he die under my knife!"

"I'll just say this here!" Jose shook his head helplessly: "No matter what, Zhou Qun offered Wu Ning and Cao Bin's head, even if he made a contribution, and his son Zhou Zhen is now in Huainan and still has a strong army. At this time, he is likely to surrender to our army. No matter what aspect, we must treat him well."

"But I just feel so upset!" Liu Xing said in a buzzing voice.

"Let's think about it!" Jose waved his hand: "I don't want to enter the city anymore. You can lead the troops to the city to station and control the city. Wait for the subsequent General You's main force to arrive before chasing me."

"yes!"

"Emute Zhou Qun to prepare sufficient food and grass for our troops. There will be no wars along the way. I will speed up the marching and arrive in Huainan as soon as possible to meet General Liu's soldiers and horses." Jose stood up and looked at Cao Bin's head again: "Another, find Cao Bin's body, put him in a coffin and put him in. When General You comes, let's see what to do!"

Jose led his troops to advance quickly towards Huainan. At this time, Huainan had already fallen into chaos. Zhou Zhen, the largest Liang army armed force stationed in Huainan, suddenly announced his surrender to the Tang army. Su Bao's troops, who were originally confronting Zhou Zhen in Lianshui, made a quick decision and entered Huainan territory. Together with Zhou Zhen, they launched a sweep of other remnants of the Liang army in the territory. After Liu Ruyan, who was still in Xuanzhou, received the news, he immediately sent Li Gan to lead the cavalry into Huainan. The three troops swept away the fallen leaves with the autumn wind, quickly pacified Huainan in a short time.

At this point, Li Ze finally expanded his power to the south. From the beginning of the Shandong Province, he connected Gunhai, Wuning, Huainan and Zhejiang Provinces into a large area. The Yangtze River became a long tentacle extended by the Tang army, remotely controlling Yueyang, Jingnan and other places. On this line, the only breakpoint was Ezhou.
