"Tear down the pontoon bridge to stop the Han army from crossing the river and pursuing" When there were still more than 10,000 Tang troops left on the south bank of the Yellow River in a bloody battle, Li Ji decisively ordered the pontoon bridge to be demolished and the car to protect the commander, so as not to be covered up by the Han army.
"You have already been given up by Li Ji, do you still have to resist stubbornly?"
Li Cunxiao, Guan Sheng, Yujuluo and others galloped back and forth, gradually forming an encirclement of the abandoned Tang army, fighting bravely and attacking the heart with words.
"I am willing to surrender, but I want not to kill" Unexpectedly, the Tang army, which was trapped on the south bank of the Yellow River, collapsed in an instant and surrendered one after another.
On the occasion of Bo Xishan, the battle gradually came to an end, and Li Ji threw off Li Jing's pursuit at the cost of sacrificing 30,000 people.
Because there were no warships to cross the river, Li Jing could only temporarily withdraw his troops and wait for the day when he had completed his preparations before crossing the Yellow River to attack Jizhou.
The Han army retreated ten miles and set up camp in the wilderness on the south bank of the Yellow River, across the river from the Tang army opposite.
"Li Cunxiao, you are guilty" The lights were brilliant in the handsome tent, and Li Jing, whose face was like frost, sat upright in the middle, looking at this cousin with cold eyes.
Li Cunxiao stood up expressionlessly and knelt on one knee: "The last general was self-righteous and released Li Tong privately, which led to General Luo Yi's death under his hammer."
It was I who indirectly killed General Luo Yi, and the last general is willing to be punished."
Li Jing angrily slapped the case and reprimanded: "Li Cunxiao, Li Cunxiao, how do you let Ben Shuai say that you are not a fledgling hairy boy, but a general who has been on the battlefield for many years, why are you still showing mercy to an enemy general with unique skills on the battlefield?"
The last general saw that he was skilled in martial arts at a young age and his strength was outstanding, so he began to love talents, so he persuaded him and his father Li Siye to surrender.
The thief agreed, who knew that he was a false and wronged snake, and he went back on his word and killed General Luo Yi, but he really didn't know anyone at the end of the year" Li Cunxiao knelt on the ground and explained his behavior in pain.
"Oh, it's so confusing."
Li Jing sighed, "You have been fighting on the battlefield for ten years, and you were teased and applauded by a teenager, don't you know that soldiers are not tired of cheating, if the agreement on the battlefield is useful, what kind of battle are you fighting, you are merciful to this young man, how vicious he was when he killed Luo Yi?"
"The last general doesn't know anyone, and he indirectly killed General Luo Yi, and he is willing to be dealt with by military law" Li Cunxiao bowed his head and took the initiative to ask for guilt.
Li Jing waved his hand angrily and said: "I am smart, I secretly release the enemy generals before the battle, resulting in the death of my colleagues, what is the use of leaving you around, push me out and cut it off."
Li Cunxiao bowed his head to the ground and waited to be killed: "The last general will suffer by himself and be willing to be dealt with by military law" Guan Sheng, Yu Juluo, Qin Liangyu, Tian Yu, Luo Guanzhong and others who were standing on the left and right were all taken aback, and hurriedly stood up to intercede for Li Cunxiao: "General Cunxiao is the humerus of the Han Dynasty, and he has made great contributions to the imperial court. ” Li Jing snorted coldly: "Pity for the enemy is cruelty to oneself, if everyone is as self-righteous as him, how can this battle be fought This wind must not rise, you must kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, push it out and behead" Hua Mulan, who was sitting next to the handsome case, hurriedly advised: "The marshal is angry, and the filial piety and love are not out of selfishness, but he wants to recruit a fierce general for the Han Dynasty and persuade Li Siye and his son to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, who would have expected that this Li Tong would be cunning and vicious at a young age, and besides, Cun Xiao has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, how can he be sentenced to capital punishment because of this unintentional mistake, His Majesty is here, and he will never agree" All the generals knelt on the ground and pleaded for Li Cunxiao: "Please take a break from the wrath of the thunder and let it fall lightly."
At this moment, Ma Chao led the lancers back, listened to the ins and outs of the matter, and pleaded for Li Cunxiao together: "It is also human nature for General Cunxiao to love talents, but who would have expected that this Li Tong would be so cunning and vicious at a young age and ask the marshal to forgive General Cunxiao's unintentional mistakes, and allow him to make meritorious contributions and behead Li Tong's thief under the horse."
Li Jing didn't really want to behead Li Cunxiao, but just to give Luo Yi's soul and the soldiers of the three armies an explanation, so he pretended to make a gesture.
Since all the generals pleaded together, they pushed the boat down the river and said: "For the sake of the generals, plus you have made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, I will spare you this time for the time being."
Although the capital crime is exempted, the living crime is unforgivable, and the commander will write to demote you to one level and deduct a fine for one year.
In addition, the rod will be punished with eighty military sticks, just because it is the time for our army to employ people, so we will send it down, and when the war subsides, we will not forgive."
"Thank you marshal, for your lightness," Li Cunxiao kowtowed expressionlessly to thank him.
Hua Mulan hurriedly stepped forward and helped Li Cunxiao up: "Uncle, please get up quickly, I hope you don't have to hate your brother in your heart." ” Li Cunxiao said gloomily: "What did my sister-in-law say, it was the younger brother who thought he killed General Luo Yi, and the elder brother didn't punish me severely, and the younger brother was already grateful, and he dared to hold grudges again." ” After a pause, Li Cunxiao bowed his hand to Li Jing: "Marshal, I don't kill General Luo Yi, but General Luo Yi died because of me."
Please allow me to leave the barracks temporarily, disguise myself, cross the Yellow River, and wait for the opportunity to behead Li Tong's thief and come back to pay tribute to General Luo Yi's spirit in the sky."
"Confused" Li Jing scolded, "You have to remember, you are a military general, not a brave and ruthless ranger, how can you act alone like a reckless man, and you are so majestic, even if you are dressed in disguise, how can you hide from the Tang Army" Li Cunxiao clenched his fists, his eyes sprayed with anger: "I was tricked by this untrustworthy thief, and the foolish brother was really unwilling."
Li Jing sighed: "Sooner or later, there will be a chance, but not now."
Early in the morning, I received a letter from Your Majesty, saying that Wei Qing had led 100,000 horses from Jiaodong to cross the sea to counterattack Li Tang himself, and His Majesty was worried that the King of Lujiang and Wencheng were not Li Yuanba's opponents, so he ordered you to go to Tang to help in the war, and join forces with the King of Lujiang and Wencheng to defeat Li Yuanba."
"The foolish brother is gone, what should I do here, brother" Li Cunxiao looked reluctant, "Could it be that my brother wants to drive me out of the camp because of my younger brother's fault?"
Li Jing soothed: "Naturally not, you also know Li Yuanba's divine might, the king of Lujiang is still young, Wencheng is afraid that it will be difficult to support alone, and there is really no one in the army who is Li Yuanba's opponent."
Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, only you can confront Li Yuanba head-on, I have Meng Qi here to suppress the formation, plus Huang Zhong and Wei Chigong are about to arrive, and I am not afraid of the Tang generals on the opposite side at all."
"Since this is the case, the younger brother will take his leave, go to the Tang Kingdom, swear to behead Li Yuanba, and wash away today's humiliation" Li Cunxiao hugged his fists and said goodbye to Li Jing and Hua Mulan, the brother and sister-in-law, as well as Ma Chao, Qin Liangyu, Guan Sheng and others, mentioned Yu Wangli and Bi Yanlao, turned over and stepped on the Huang Bi Bone Dragon, and left the camp overnight to go to Jiaodong to find the Wei Qing army. t1706231537:
