Chapter 922 Kill the loyal minister

"Catch He Tengjiao and don't let the old thief run away!" The shouts of the Huai Army were everywhere.

"Supervisor, we are defeated, we are all Ming troops, why should we kill each other? We might as well surrender." General Ma Jinzhong advised.

Ma Jinzhong was originally a rebel army, nicknamed Mian Hundred Thousand, but later defeated by Zuo Liangyu, surrendered to Zuo Liangyu. When Zuo Menggeng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Ma Jinzhong was unwilling to shave his hair and surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He took his troops and horses to Huguang to join He Tengjiao. In the original time and space, Ma Jinzhong defeated the Qing army many times. Later, he cooperated with Li Dingguo to recover Guilin, Changsha, Yuezhou and other places. However, when the anti-Qing situation was very good, Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Ma Jinzhong died of depression shortly after retreating to Yunnan.

He Tengjiao would rather die than surrender: "I would not surrender to Li Ni! This man is a wolf-like ambition, and he looks at the wolf, and is not inferior to Cao Cao and Sima. It's ridiculous that the foolish monarch actually trusts this person! Besides, the foolish monarch is not a good thing. He gave up the country and escaped in a panic, harming the people along the way, and even more valued the eunuch party! I would rather die than be with the foolish monarch and treacherous ministers!"

Wu Liuqi and Wang Quan blocked the He family's retreat, and Cao Bianjiao's cavalry also arrived. The Huai Army infantry behind rushed over one after another. Most of the He family's officers and soldiers surrendered, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller, leaving only a few people still resisting stubbornly.

Zhang Kuang, Mandazhuang, Qin Yuchun and others have been captured, Li Zao and Chen Yougong have been killed, and only one Ma Jinzhong is left beside He Tengjiao and is still struggling to support him.

"What are you resisting when you are 100,000? Surrender quickly!" A familiar shout that made Ma Jinzhong come into his ears. Ma Jinzhong looked closely and saw a Huai Army general holding a big axe and wearing heavy armor, leading the elite iron-armored soldiers to kill him.

"A hundred thousand, you surrender quickly. For the sake of our brotherly match, I will recommend you to the Duke of the People!" Another voice that made Ma Jinzhong very familiar with him came. When he turned around, he saw Li Guo and Liu Tichun leading a group of soldiers wearing blue arrow clothes and white felt hats surrounded him.

Ma Jinzhong quickly ordered his soldiers to stop resisting. He turned over and dismounted, knelt down and saluted Li Guo and said, "The criminal general Ma Jinzhong has seen General Li, General Liu!"

With Ma Jinzhong's surrender, the remaining He family army completely gave up their resistance, and He Tengjiao was captured alive.

Li Yong, the general who was captured with He Tengjiao, said: "Sir He, you don't listen to the advice of the last general, so that today."

He Tengjiao lamented: "It's too late for me to regret it! However, Emperor Yongli is as kind as a mountain to me. Now that things have come to this point, I can only repay the former Emperor Hongguang and Emperor Yongli with death."

In addition to the crown prince's naval army, more than 100,000 troops of the He family army were wiped out, and He Tengjiao was also imprisoned. However, at this time Li Guodong had no time to deal with He Tengjiao and a group of prisoners, and he was leading his army to attack Lianshan.

Lianshan County was on the northeast bank of Beijiang, and the Huai Army's Land Division naturally could not cross the Beijiang River to attack the county. However, after Li Guodong sent a surprise soldier to attack He Tengjiao's grain transport team, he disguised himself as the auxiliary soldiers of the He family army and arrived on the other side of the river in Lianshan County. Then an officer secretly resisted the surrendered He family army's auxiliary soldiers with a knife, and asked them to call the He family army navy and drag themselves across the river.

As a result, the Crown Prince's men saw the He family's grain transport team coming to the riverside. After seeing a group of familiar faces, the Crown Prince's Navy's men were indeed fooled. They sent the Huai Army across the shore with the navy ship, but they didn't know that they were sending their enemies here.

Li Guodong, Han Dashan, He Xing and others disguised as small soldiers and mingled among the soldiers disguised as auxiliary soldiers of the He family army. The army crossed the river on the ship of the He family naval division. After crossing the river, everyone got off the ship. With Li Guodong shouting, the Huai army soldiers disguised as auxiliary soldiers of the He family army rushed into the city gate with shouts. The Huai army soldiers hiding in the cart also jumped out one after another. After killing a group of rebels, the remaining He family navy surrendered.

The Huai Army simply and clearly controlled the naval ships of the He family army by the river, and the Huai Army who entered the city, led by Li Guodong himself, retreated the defenders in the city, learned the crown prince's residence from the prisoners, and then the Huai Army soldiers killed them.

The Crown Prince had no time to react, and the Huai Army had already rushed into his mansion.

"I surrender! I surrender!" The Crown Prince, the navy chief of the He Family Army who was born in Dongting Lake, had no fighting spirit and knelt on the ground and surrendered to the Huai Army who had invaded his mansion.

The Huai Army captured Lianshan with almost no bloodshed. Except for the few more than 200 He family officers and soldiers who resisted were killed, all the others surrendered, and the He family navy fell into the hands of the Huai Army intact.

After capturing Lianshan and capturing the Navy of He Family Army, Li Guodong sent someone to send orders to Cao Bianjiao and the others, ordering them to end the ambush against He Tengjiao and immediately rushed to Lianshan.

The Huai Army, who had won a great victory, rushed towards Lianshan with prisoners of war. Along the way, the He family army had been cleared, and the Huai Army was not intercepted along the way and arrived directly on the other side of Lianshan River.

He Tengjiao was tied up like a rice dumpling, and two burly men escorted He Tengjiao into Li Guodong's central army tent.

"Kneel down!" Two big men pressed against He Tengjiao's shoulders and wanted to kneel down.

"Bah! I knelt on the sky and the earth, the emperor in the middle, and the parents, how could I kneel down to you and Sima like Cao Cao!" He Tengjiao struggled and burst out all his strength. The two burly men could not suppress him for a while.

Just when the two big men were about to kick He Tengjiao's legs, Li Guodong stopped him: "You can kill the soldiers but not be humiliated. You two will retreat first."

The two big men bowed and retreated.

He Tengjiao looked at each other and roared at Li Guodong without being outdone: "Li Erzhe, although I lost, you, the treacherous lord in Nanjing, have no good end! You are so tyrannical, sooner or later, someone will deal with your treacherous lord and ministers!"

Li Guodong did not accept He Tengjiao's words, but instead laughed: "Sir He, your skills in fighting are still too poor. You don't know how to fight and are reluctant to listen to advice, so that you fell into the hands of your own master today!"

"A real man dies and dies, so why fear? When I die, future generations will evaluate it. Justice is in the hearts of the people!" He Tengjiao roared.

Li Guodong originally wanted to make He Tengjiao's reputation bad, let him be infatuated for thousands of years, and then he committed suicide. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate to do that. After all, He Tengjiao was also a national hero in his original time and space. Although he was a national hero who was successful but not good enough to make trouble, he was also a hero who died heroically after all.

Therefore, Li Guodong changed his mind and ordered him to say, "Come on, I'll push the commander He and snatch him. I'm a loyal person, so I'll leave him a whole body."

Two swords and axe handlers dragged He Tengjiao out, put a rope around his neck, and then pulled hard on both sides. As the strength of the swords and axe handlers increased, He Tengjiao rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, and swallowed in a short while.

The swordsman walked into the central army's tent and reported: "The commander He is dead."

Li Guodong said: "I buried him with great burial, after all, each of them is his master. We cannot treat loyal and kind people unfairly."

Next, Zhang Kuang, Ma Jinzhong, Mandazhuang, Qin Yuchun and others were taken in.

Li Guodong asked: "Are you willing to surrender? You are also civil servants and military generals of the Ming Dynasty. There is no shame in surrendering to the orthodox Ming Dynasty. This is a abandonment of darkness and turning to the light."

Ma Jinzhong was the first to kneel down: "Ma Jinzhong is willing to surrender!"

"Hahaha!" Li Guodong quickly walked down the steps and helped Ma Jinzhong up with his own hands. "My Duke got General Ma, but he has added a powerful general who can fight!"

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Li Guodong looked at Zhang Kuang, Mandazhuang, Qin Yuchun, Prince Wang and others again: "General Ma understands the righteousness and has surrendered to the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty. When will you wait until you do not surrender?"
