The enemy's courage has been lost.

The words of this young officer, who obviously came from the secret camp of Daqingshan, explained the crux of Deng Jingshan's current problem.

In the first battle during the day, even though Lu Longjun mustered up Yu Yong, he attacked Zuo Jinwuwei's defense line again and again, but Xue Chong, Xue Jian and other senior generals of Zuo Jinwuwei all went to the front line in person, Xue Jian was old and strong, and when the battle was most intense, in order to boost morale and even go into battle shirtless, he led a team of elite reverse counterattack and killed Lu Long's army in one fell swoop.

And the Lu Dragon Cavalry was defeated after a day of chasing and fighting with the Zuo Jinwu Guards, which dealt a heavy blow to Lu Long's army.

When the night fell, but Lu Long's army had to shrink and retreat, both high-ranking officers and ordinary soldiers knew that this battle, they were finished.

Because behind them, Pingquan and Kuancheng were captured by the right Xiaowei without defending for a day, and the main force of the right Xiaowei had already caught up.

At most, by tomorrow, they will be fully surrounded by the right Xiaowei and the left Jinwuwei.

On today's day, Lu Longjun did not have too many deaths, but there were too many wounded soldiers. The eye-opening snowball attack looked terrifying, but it didn't really kill many people, most of the soldiers were injured, and most of them had broken arms and legs.

But in any case, the wounded soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness will lose their souls more than the clean death of the remaining soldiers under such circumstances.

They did not have enough medicine to treat so many soldiers, and the wounded soldiers could only lie in their tents and wail in pain.

"General Deng, let's go!" The general Wang Xi pleaded bitterly. "The army is blocked, but a small group of elite cavalry can make a detour, although there is also a greater risk, but it is better than sitting here and waiting to die."

Marching Sima Song Yu persuaded Deng Jingshan from another aspect: "Deng Tingshi, your identity is different from ours, if you die here or are captured by the Tang army, the blow to Lu Longjun will be even greater to Zhang Shuai." So, you go, is the best option. ”

Deng Jingshan sat on the pony with a horizontal knife, his eyes closed, but he was unmoved.

"I'm not leaving." His voice was low, but his will was extremely decisive: "Defeat after defeat, from Yingzhou to Mozhou, and then to Pingzhou, where do I still have the face to see Zhang Dashuai, and dying in battle is the only choice for me to repay Zhang Dashuai's trust for so many years." ”

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" Wang Xi said: "General Deng, as long as you can go back, it won't be long before you can pull up another army." ”

"It's easy to pull up a force, but what about you? Which of the old brothers who have followed me for many years? Feng Lun, Huang Zhongfa has already died in battle, if you all die here again, I go back alone, even if I can pull up a force, what is the use? Deng Jingshan smiled bitterly: "Is it just to meet the next failure?" ”

"There are talented people from generation to generation." Song Yu said: "Thorn History will definitely find more young talents." ”

"Now the young talent is back in our backwoods." Deng Jingshan sighed: "Zhenzhou held the imperial examination, I heard that the grand space, Zhu Wen is also engaged in the imperial examination in Chang'an, we here, except for savages, miscellaneous beards, bandits, what else?" ”

Wang Xi and Song Yu were speechless.

"Needless to say, this time I will advance and retreat with you, live and die together!" Deng Jingshan said sharply: "I used to laugh at Shi Yi when he was defeated, but I don't want to be reduced to the same level as him today." Now that I think about it, I really regret it, if I didn't let Shi Yi die in vain, maybe Zhang Shuai would have another general to drive today. ”

The next day, Liu Chenglin, the right Xiaowei, led the main force from Pingquan, and Hou Fangyu caught up with Deng Jingshan from Kuancheng, and completed the encirclement of Deng Jingshan with Zuo Jin Wuwei.

Xue Jian immediately turned around and led his troops to attack Jianchang, thousands of Jianchang's old and weak soldiers did not resist at all, and when Xue Jian's department appeared, they had already opened the city gate early and surrendered. A large number of materials collected by Deng Jingshan in Jianchang fell into the hands of Xue Jian.

On the third day, Li Rui and Gu Han came from Kanyanwu Fort and returned to Liu Chenglin's establishment.

On the fourth day, Li Ze's special envoy, Han Qi, the secretary of the military department, rushed here from Wuyi in the dust.

"This is the end of the war." Han Qi brought Li Ze's decision, "The next matter will be resolved through negotiations, and Li Xiang has no intention of starting a full-scale war with Zhang Zhongwu at this time." ”

"Don't you eat the fat in your mouth?" Xue Chong was extremely dissatisfied.

"It's not that you don't eat it, you still have to eat what you should eat, and of course, you have to give up what you should give up." Han Qi said with a smile: "This is considered from the perspective of the overall situation, the strategy of talking in the northeast and fighting in the northwest must be implemented." Deng Jingshan is Zhang Zhongwu's descendant general, so letting him go back this time is our greatest sincerity. ”

"Liu Siyuan has already gone back, we might as well drag it out and let Deng Jingshan go back a little later." Liu Chenglin was roasting the fire while talking quietly.

"General Liu's words won my heart." Han Qi laughed: "Liu Siyuan must think that Deng Jingshan can't go back this time, so after he escapes to Jinzhou, the first priority is to master Jinzhou City, so as to fully control the remaining half of Pingzhou, and to do this, he has to start a killing ring, and if he doesn't kill a group of Deng Jingshan's henchmen, how can he control the situation?" ”

"When he killed these people, Deng Jingshan went back." Liu Chenglin took out a burning firewood from the firewood pile, puffed up his mouth and blew a mouthful, looked at the Mars surrounding the big tent, and said with a smile: "The show is naturally about to start." Even if Deng Jingshan doesn't want to pursue it, won't the families of those victims pursue it? Won't these old ministries who followed Deng Jingshan back force Deng Jingshan to seek justice? Lips and teeth are cold! Deng Jingshan had to tear his face with Liu Siyuan, otherwise, he would really want to betray his relatives and leave. ”

"That's it, the two biggest forces in Pingzhou are fighting, and we will ensure that they don't have the extra strength to harass us again, and we can also concentrate on solving problems in other places." Han Qi clapped his hands and said.

"That's a real bargain for the old thief." Xue Chong said stupidly.

"General Xue, you have been fighting boldly for this long-distance attack, and Li Xiang is full of praise! Li Xiang said that in this battle, Zuo Jin Wuwei should be the first to make the contribution. A certain family is here to congratulate you first. Han Qi said.

"There, I'm just a partial division, and General Liu is the main force." Xue Chong hurriedly humbled, although he was proud in his heart, he still had to do a job in terms of face.

"If you have been punished in the examination, the military department, the official department, Li Xiang will naturally be dealt with, we don't need to think too much." Liu Chenglin looked at Gu Han, who was sitting behind: "Judge Gu, the next thing is your business." How about it, do you dare to go to Deng Ying tomorrow? Let Deng Jingshan know that we don't have the heart to kill everything, lest he make any irrational moves if his brain is in the water? ”

Gu Han stood up: "Naturally, I am willing to go." ”

"Although Gu Han is the person specially sent by Li Xiang to negotiate, but to be honest, he is still unknown, so if he goes like this, I'm afraid Deng Jingshan won't believe it at all, and then go to someone of enough weight, right?" Han Qi said. "Who wants to go?"

There was a bang, but there were several generals standing up in the room, but they all thought that their identities were sufficient, and some of them thought that they were not enough, so they naturally would not stand up and show their ugliness, and for the first time in negotiation and contact, big names like Han Qi, Liu Chenglin, and Xue Chong naturally could not come forward.

Hou Fangyu, Liu Changfeng, Li Rui, and the three generals of the right Xiaowei all stood up.

"Don't fight with me!" Li Rui waved his hand at the two: "The two of you, one has just killed Feng Lun, and the other has killed Huang Zhongfa, appearing in front of Deng Jingshan at this moment will only make him angry, only I, who fell for his scheme, and the appearance of a person who has been trapped in the dock fort as a turtle for many days will make him feel more comfortable." Besides, I get along with Judge Gu these days and nights, but we have the same heart and mind, and we have a tacit understanding, I will accompany Judge Gu and be the best candidate. ”

Hou Fangyu and Liu Changfeng glanced at each other, nodded, and sat back.

"That being the case, tomorrow the two of you will go this way, if Deng Jingshan intends to negotiate peace, then pick a date, I will meet with General Liu, General Xue and him, and have a talk." Han Qi said with a smile.

On the fifth day, the wind and snow became heavier and heavier, and yesterday overnight, the blizzard fell sharply, and there was a foot of snow on the ground.

Of course, for Deng Jingshan, it is like a year. Their food, the warm firewood, have begun to run out.

"What, there is an envoy from the Tang Army asking to see you?" Deng Jingshan sneered and said: "Okay, if you come, you will come, and you will see you, if you want to recruit Deng, you will inevitably look down on Deng too low." Who is coming? ”

"The leader is a man named Gu Han, who reports that he is the judge of the right Xiaowei, and the other is the general of the right Xiaowei, Li Rui."

"Li Rui?" Deng Jingshan was a little confused this time, if it was a surrender, they would definitely not send someone of Li Rui's level and very special, otherwise if he was annoyed and cut Li Rui with a knife, how could Liu Chenglin deal with it?

If it's not a surrender, then what is the intention? No matter what the other party does, anyway, the final result will not be worse than now, and Deng Jingshan doesn't care.

Gu Han and Li Rui only brought a few guards and drove straight into Deng Jingshan's handsome tent.

Even Deng Jingshan's Chinese army commander account is as cold as an ice cellar inside, almost the same temperature as the outside, the only difference is probably that there is no wind to drill into the neck.

"Tell me, what do you mean and what do you want to do?" Without the intention of inviting the two of them to sit down, Deng Jingshan looked at the two of them coldly and asked.
