Chapter 236: Chang'an Shocking Change (1)
Gao Renhou actually didn't want to run, but in that case, if he didn't run, he would either die or be captured. Either way, he couldn't accept it.
He and Zheng Junxiong, with a total of less than 400 cavalry, hurried towards the south like lost dogs, and immediately accelerated when they heard the slightest movement.
I don't blame them for the bow and snake shadow, but they don't hurry, they may be caught up by the pursuers behind at any time.
Gao Renhou and his entourage did not go to Suizhou, but to Puzhou. Suizhou is too close to Zizhou to be safe at all, and only Puzhou, south of Da'an River, is temporarily safe.
Of course, it's just a temporary safety point, and if you want to make a comeback, you have to go to Luzhou, Changzhou and other places, but the hope is also very slim.
After escaping for nearly three hours, the group left the battlefield for more than a hundred miles, and not far away was Xuanwu County, but at this time, Gao Renhou and his party naturally did not enter the city.
Entering the city means that your whereabouts are exposed, but after running so far, you can rest for a while.
The morale of the group was very low, after all, everyone was still high before, and now they have suddenly become lost dogs, and the taste of it is not enough for outsiders.
No one spoke, even Zheng Junxiong was silent. Even Zheng Junxiong looked at Gao Renhou with a somewhat complicated expression, maybe before he wanted to learn it, he cut off Gao Renhou's head and sent it to King Shou to seek wealth?
However, seeing the pro-soldiers around Gao Renhou, Zheng Junxiong was a little jealous, after all, there were still fewer pro-soldiers around him, if he really did it, who knew what the result would be.
Maybe he should send someone to Hezhou to move the rescue troops. This time he followed Gao Renhou to send troops, he did not send all the troops, and there were still some soldiers and horses in Hezhou, maybe plus the soldiers and horses in Hezhou could deal with Gao Renhou and his party.
But that's also a later thing, and for the time being, Zheng Junxiong can't expose his thoughts.
In fact, Gao Renhou also guarded against Zheng Junxiong, but the other party has a history of selling out for glory, who knows if the other party will be staged again.
If you look closely, you will find that the personal soldiers of the two are in separate formations, and Gao Renhou is faintly wary of Zheng Junxiong's department. Only when he arrives in Puzhou can Gao Renhou be temporarily safe, after all, Puzhou is still a place under his control, and he can still be counted as talking.
After resting for a while and eating some dry food, the group continued on their way. The group did not take the main road, but specially selected the lesser-traveled path so that they could avoid tracking.
However, they still did not escape the pursuit of the Tiance Army.
"Whoosh!"
Just as everyone relaxed their vigilance and headed south, hundreds of sharp arrows suddenly flew out of the woods in the distance, and the soldiers around Gao Renhou and Zheng Junxiong fell to the ground in an instant.
The sudden change made everyone panic, and then they saw nearly a thousand cavalry appear in front, and at the same time, nearly a thousand cavalry appeared behind, and scattered, faintly intending to surround them.
A handsome and burly general of the Tiance Army walked out of the cavalry, looked at Gao Renhou and his party in front of him, and laughed, "God really treats me well, the front foot let Zhao attack Chengdu, and now two big fish are being sent." β
The person who came was Zhao Xiong. In fact, it was a coincidence that he was able to block Gao Renhou, he originally planned to go back to the camp, but on the way, he saw Gao Renhou running away, so he didn't answer, but chased Gao Renhou and his party.
However, he also found that Gao Renhou and his party were more cautious and liked to take small roads. In order not to startle the snake, he led his cavalry to the front of Gao Renhou and his party from the main road.
There are only a few roads around here, and it just so happens that he has also walked before, so this blocked Gao Renhou and his party.
Hearing what Zhao Xiong said, Gao Renhou knew who the person in front of him was, except for Zhao Xiong who was making trouble in Chengdu Mansion, who else was there?
Thinking that he had escaped so far, he was also a little unwilling, and the ** of survival made him have to fight to the death, he took out his sword and said loudly, "Fight with them, kill out!" β
As soon as the words fell, Gao Renhou was stunned, looking at the horse lance on his chest, looking very unwilling.
Soon the owner of this horse lance pulled the horse lance back, and Gao Renhou also saw the owner of the horse lance, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were about to split, and he shouted with the only strength he had left, "Zheng Junxiong, you are ruthless enough." In ancient times, there were three family slaves Lu Bu, and only you, Zheng Junxiong, betrayed the master twice to seek glory, haha, I deserve my high benevolence. β
γ‘ζ°γ€~(8)~1~Chinese ηΆ²ΟΟΟ.Ο~8.~1zΡ.cΓ²ΠΌ
After speaking, Gao Renhou vomited a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell off the horse directly, with more air out and less air intake, and was pierced by the horse lance, and the chance of survival was zero.
Zheng Junxiong was also a little embarrassed, but since he had done it, he didn't dare to admit it, "Good birds choose trees to perch, Gao Renhou, you are doomed, I don't want to follow you all the way to the dark." β
Seeing Gao Renhou being killed, his cronies planned to kill Zheng Junxiong to avenge Gao Renhou, but as dozens of arrows came, these people fell off their horses one after another, and everyone else stopped moving. Apparently on the multiple-choice question of loyalty and lesser life, they chose lesser life.
Zheng Junxiong dismounted and came to Zhao Xiong, kneeling on one knee, "The sin general Zheng Junxiong is willing to return to His Royal Highness King Shunshou, and I hope General Zhao will upload it on his behalf." β
"Yes, yes, you would have chosen it. I will report your words to His Highness, but what to do with you depends on His Highness's mood. β
Although Zhao Xiong was a little surprised, he reacted quickly. I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect the other party to have internal strife, which caught him off guard.
Gao Renhou was killed, Zheng Junxiong surrendered, and the pro-soldiers present naturally laid down their weapons one after another. Zhao Xiong asked Gao Renhou to take his body with him, and then escorted Zheng Junxiong and his party back.
By the time I returned to Mianzhou, it was already dark. Li Ye, who was discussing with his subordinates how to attack Hanzhou and the entire Xichuan in Mianzhou, was also a little surprised when he heard that Gao Renhou was killed by Zheng Junxiong.
Gao Renhou is also a character, but he didn't expect to end up like this. Li Ye praised Zhao Xiong, Qin Yi'an and the other three, and the victory in this battle can be regarded as a great achievement.
As for Zheng Junxiong, Li Ye thought for a while and said, "Kill him, it's a scourge to keep such a person." Today he can kill Gao Renhou to survive, but tomorrow will he kill this king to show loyalty to others? β
Regarding Li Ye's decision, although some people felt that it was inappropriate, they still did not insist on opposing it in the end. Poor Zheng Junxiong thought that he could survive by killing Gao Renhou, who would have thought that Li Ye would look down on this kind of person at all, and it would be a hidden danger to keep it, so it was better to kill it.
"Who do you think is the right person to be in this Dongchuan Festival?" Now that Gao Renhou is dead, Li Ye no longer worries about this matter, it is all in the past, and he has to focus on the future.
Dongchuan was captured by Li Ye, he naturally has a lot of decision-making power, but he regards Dongchuan as his own territory, so he naturally has to think about it.
"The subordinates think that this section should not use the people of Shannan West Road and Tiance Army, otherwise the imperial court may not agree. After all, His Royal Highness is a prince, and if he directly lets someone else serve as the envoy of this festival, it is tantamount to embarrassing the court. Li Zhen suggested.
"Li Zhicheng's words are a little inappropriate, right? Dongchuan is taken by His Royal Highness, if it is not controlled by His Highness, will it not be possible to let it be done to others? Li Hong retorted.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Li Zhen's eyes, but it was fleeting, and he smiled and said, "General Li's words are wrong. I just suggested that His Highness give up this position as a Jiedu envoy, but the people below can be His Highness's people, so nominally Dongchuan has nothing to do with His Highness, but in fact it is under His Highness's control.
Not only does it make the imperial court look better, but His Royal Highness can actually control Dongchuan, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? β
"This method is good, since this is the case, let Zhang Shi'an serve as the nominal envoy of the Dongchuan Festival, and the other candidates will wait for the king to think about it before making a decision. Now let's talk about the attack on Nishikawa.
In the first battle of Mianzhou, although our army suffered heavy casualties, the Dongchuan Gaoren Hou Department was destroyed, and the Xichuan army was also lost, and the vitality was greatly damaged.
According to Jinyiwei's intelligence, the Xichuan army in Chengdu Prefecture was less than 10,000 people, and after the news of the first battle in Mianzhou spread, the people of Xichuan were panicked, their morale plummeted, and it was easy to take Xichuanγγγγγγ β
From Li Ye's tirade, everyone realized that Li Ye was bound to win Xichuan. Although Liu Qi and some others are a little too anxious, they have no foreign enemies at present, and Xichuan is indeed weak at this time, so it is also a good time to take Xichuan.
So everyone quickly discussed a set of attack plans, in fact, it was not too complicated, the elite of Xichuan was basically folded in Mianzhou, and there was not much left of the army, how could it be the opponent of the Tiance army?
Just after everyone came up with a set of plans, Xingyuan Mansion suddenly sent someone to send news that Liu Chenyan gave birth to a baby boy.
Hearing the news, both Li Ye and Liu Qi were very happy. Especially Li Ye, because of the war, he didn't think about it for a while.
"Haha! This king has a son! Li Ye couldn't help laughing.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Hearing that the princess had given birth to a little prince, everyone present stood up and saluted.
"Your Highness, the little prince doesn't have a name yet?" Zhang Wei reminded on the side.
"Name?" Li Ye patted his forehead, and hurriedly blamed himself, "Why did this king forget this, he has to take a name." Think about it and see what the name is appropriate. β
"Your Highness, the junior official has thought of one." Li Zhen said with a smile, ""Zhou Yi" has clouds, and since God blesses it, there is no disadvantage. The news of the birth of the little prince came, and it happened that His Royal Highness won this battle in Mianzhou, which can be regarded as a blessing from heaven.
Why not take it in the name of You? β
"Since God blesses, there is no disadvantage? Blessed by God? Li You? That's right, that's the name. Ordered to go down, and the whole army was rewarded with two pieces of money, and the king wanted to celebrate this matter with the whole world. β
Everyone saw that Li Ye was in a good mood, and everyone present was relieved.
Liu Chenyan and Sun Mei were pregnant one after another, if Liu Chenyan gave birth to a baby boy, it would still be a trouble. But now there is no need to worry so much, not only Li Ye, but also everyone present.
