Everyone looked back suddenly, only to see a boulder rolling down from the top of the cliff at the entrance, destroying all the way, crushing countless trees, banging, falling incorrectly at the entrance, blocking the entrance, killing and injuring hundreds of Xia troops, and blocking more than 2,000 Xia troops outside the entrance.

At this time, the shouts of killing in the valley were everywhere, and on the cliffs on both sides of the valley, three thousand elite soldiers who had been lurking suddenly appeared.

Flying arrows rained down and shot most of Dou Jiande's front wing troops.

Dou Jiande's retreat was cut off, and he was about to desperately break through, not far ahead, "Li Shimin", who had gone and returned, appeared again, took off the mask on his face, and revealed a bitter face.

"The King of Xia has been defeated, why not descend early!"

Dou Jiande heard this familiar voice, looked at this unfamiliar face, had mixed feelings in his heart, stared at Zhen Ming for a long time, and then said with a wry smile: "Mr. Ling deceived me so hard, dare to ask Mr. Name." ”

Zhen Mingku smiled slightly: "Contemptible Zhen Mingku." ”

Dou Jiande's face changed greatly, staring at Zhen for a long time, and he was stunned for a long time before he sighed, "General Zhen is far-sighted and lurks in our army early in the morning. ”

Zhen Ming said lightly: "Zhen respects King Xia as a person, so he persuaded King Xia early in the morning not to get involved in the matter of Luoyang, if it weren't for the contemptible people who were killed by Wang Shichong, he didn't want to be an enemy of King Xia." ”

Dou Jiande glanced back at the surroundings, although he still had the strength to fight, but he was facing the general of the dark guard, who had always won more with less and was good at using strange soldiers, and there was undoubtedly only one end. That is, the whole army was annihilated, and all thoughts were disillusioned for a while, and he smiled bitterly: "The family affairs of the victorious and defeated soldiers." Lost in the hands of General Zhen, Dou was convinced, I only hope that General Zhen can treat my subordinates well, and I am willing to surrender. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals around him were sad and indignant, and they expressed their willingness to fight with their lives. Protect him from the encirclement.

Dou Jiande was moved to tears by their loyalty, and he was about to surrender, but they persuaded him hard. It's hard to make a decision for a while.

Zhen Ming whipped out of the horse, stood in front of the formation, and shouted: "Zhen has always respected the high righteousness of King Xia, and he dare not insult him. I can't bear to let the two armies fight to the death. Let the living beings be miserable, and make more killings, so I want to make a gamble with the Xia King, if the Xia King wins, the Xia King can leave on his own, but if the Xia King is defeated, please dismount and surrender, as for the other Great Xia Army. If you want to surrender with King Xia, of course, it's best. But if you don't want to surrender, you can also leave on your own, and Zhen will never force you to stay. ”

Dou Jiande's eyes burst out with a glimmer of light when he heard this, and hope suddenly appeared in his heart, and he was full of pride, and laughed: "General Zhen is really a heroic person, according to what you said, how to gamble?" ”

Zhen Mingkuan smiled slightly: "You and I each choose three people to play, and two wins in three games will not hurt people's lives too much, and the winner can be distinguished." ”

"The best!"

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a person rode out behind Zhen Mingku, pointed to a spear, and shouted: "Qin Shubao is here, who dares to fight!" ”

Dou Jiande looked back at a general beside him, nodded his head, and this man rode his horse to the front of the formation, and said in a loud voice: "Liu Heimin is a good leader!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Shubao glanced back at Zhen Mingku, Zhen Mingku obviously didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in this situation, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Second Brother Hei, don't come unharmed." ”

Liu Heimin has been behind Dou Jiande since just now, just because of the difference between the enemy and me, he didn't come out to recognize each other, seeing Zhen Mingku's mouth speak, his face showed a trace of sympathy and appreciation, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhen, I have heard about the goose sister, I thought you were dead, I wanted to take this opportunity to follow King Xia into Luoyang, slaughtered Wang Shichong's family, and avenged this deep revenge for you and the goose girl, I didn't expect you to live well, I am very happy, today you and I are each our masters, fight on the battlefield, and you don't have to show mercy." ”

Zhen Ming was silent for a while, and then said to Dou Jiande: "King Xia, this game, there is no need to compete, we have lost." ”

Liu Heimin was stunned, and Dou Jiande was also a little surprised, and glanced at Liu Heimin deeply, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Liu Heimin sighed secretly, Zhen Ming's bitter move was undoubtedly because he didn't want to let either Qin Shubao and him be hurt by his past friendship, but he didn't know that this caused Dou Jiande's suspicion, and he had no intention of distinguishing it, so he smiled bitterly and stepped aside.

What came out next was Cheng Biting Jin, whose arm was still in a plaster cast, hanging from his chest.

When Dou Jiande saw it, he was overjoyed and sent the general Zhang Qing, thinking that he was nine out of ten.

Unexpectedly, the two fought, and within ten times, Zhang Qing was chopped off the horse by Cheng Biting Jin with a board axe, and was defeated in embarrassment.

In the case of a one-to-one draw, Zhen Mingku personally went into battle, and Dou Jiande also rode out of the battle from the formation.

It is a matter of life and death for Xia Jun, Dou Jiande has no intention of showing mercy to his subordinates, and he will make a fatal move.

Originally, with his strength, if he could play steadily and defensively properly, even if Zhen had a chance of winning, the gap would not be so obvious, but he was in a hurry to win, but he made a big taboo.

Zhen Ming first retained his strength, dealt with it calmly, tested Dou Jiande's moves, and probably knew it in his heart, pretending to be overwhelmed by Dou Jiande's fierce attack like a wind sweeping away leaves, and retreated, and the movements vaguely revealed signs of an old shoulder injury.

If Dou Jiande is familiar with Zhen Ming's hard life, I am afraid that not only will he not take the initiative to attack at this time, but he will be cautious and cautious.

It's a pity that he really doesn't know Zhen Mingku's personality, and he changed to someone else, seeing Zhen Mingku's weak state, I'm afraid he will only be more cautious, he only heard that Zhen Mingku's first battle in Luoyang a while ago was seriously injured, and when he saw Zhen Mingku's attitude of coping, he didn't hesitate to give up his defense, attacked with all his might, and tried to kill Zhen Mingku's horse with one blow.

At this moment, Zhen Mingku, who was originally a little slow and laborious, suddenly accelerated his body's reaction speed by more than two times, dodging Dou Jiande's full force, and the sudden change made Dou Jiande unable to react, and he was pulled forward by inertia, and when he wanted to balance the defense, he was already old, Zhen Mingku, who rose from the horse, crossed behind him, and stabbed back, and the back of the knife hit him heavily on the back of the head, knocking him out.

His people had already landed on Dou Jiande's horse, and gently sent Dou Jiande, who was about to fall off the horse, to the ground.

There was an exclamation from the Xia Jun camp.

The victory and defeat have been divided, and there is no element of tricks, Cheng Yanjin shouted: "I am willing to gamble and lose, if you lose, you will all withdraw!" Go home! ”

……

The Great Xia army was defeated, evacuated from the Tiger Prison and returned to Qizhou, the news of Dou Jiande's capture was transmitted back to Luoyang, the Luoyang army immediately seemed to be infected with the plague, the army was filled with a breath of despair, every day people escaped from the Great Zheng army, and the Wang clan had begun to pawn pawns, exchanged for gold and silver, ready to flee at any time.

The war in the north of Luoyang has gradually settled, after the Tang army captured the Kip Stone Fort in the north of Luoyang, cut off the connection between Qianjin Fort and Luoyang, most of the Wang family were trapped in the Qianjin Fort, panicked, and lost contact with the outside world, I don't know what the situation in Luoyang is, all day long to climb high and look far away, hoping to see reinforcements from Luoyang.

One night, more than 100 refugees from the direction of Luoyang, holding their babies, fled to the Qianjin Castle and asked to open the door to take refuge in the fort.

The people in the fort refused their request, and the group of refugees had to bypass the castle and head north.

After the Wang clan in Qianjin Fort saw them leave, they thought that the siege of Luoyang had been lifted, and these refugees were able to get out of the city.

Hundreds of Wang clansmen in the fort were captured, and under the order of the leader, all men, women, and children were slaughtered.

No one knows where this ruthless strange army came from, some people guess that it is the angry Dark Guard, some people guess that it is one of the countless enemies that the Wang family has once killed, and some people guess that it is Li Tangjun.

According to one of the Zuoling Guards who later escaped from the fort, it was a group of Rightling Guards who entered the fort, wearing Praetorian Guard uniforms, and vaguely heard those people referring to the leader as "General Luo".

As for who this General Luo is, he doesn't know, he was so frightened that he hid in a pigsty dung pit in the fort, until after the army withdrew, he came out of the dung pit and fled into the mountains, and since then, he has never come out again, until the world has been unified for a few years, he learned from a passer-by who accidentally got lost in the mountains that the world has been decided, came out of the mountains, told people about it, and also revealed the truth about Tu Qianjin Fort when the Tang army attacked Luoyang.

Knowing the fall of Qianjinbao, Wang Shichong could no longer calm down, and led two thousand Zuoling guards to sneak out of the south gate of Luoyang, preparing to abandon the city and flee, go south to Jiangdu, and join the Jianghuai army.

Unexpectedly, there was an ambush in the south of Luoyang City, forcing the two thousand Zuoling guards back into the city.

Wang Shichong knew that the general trend was gone, and out of consideration for preserving the bloodline of the Wang family, he decided to seek refuge from the Li family.

Overnight, he sent envoys to the tent camp of Li Tang's army to discuss the terms of surrender.

At this point, Li Tang's army won a complete victory, only waiting for Wang Shichong to surrender the city.

……

In the Chang'an Palace in Luoyang, good news was spread frequently, and hundreds of officials in the court and China congratulated Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was in a good mood, ordered the whole city to celebrate for three days, and sent an envoy to Luoyang to surrender.

After retreating from the court, Li Jiancheng went to the harem to ask Li Yuan and proposed to him that Ling Shuang should be the envoy to surrender and discuss the conditions of surrender with Wang Shichong.

Li Yuan thought twice and agreed to Li Jiancheng's suggestion.

……

"Zhen Mingku's and Wang Shichong's share the sky, if it is found that the third miss is secretly trading with Wang Shichong to protect the safety of Wang Shichong's family, the first person Zhen Mingku wants to get rid of is probably the third miss."

In the secret room in the prince's mansion, Li Jiancheng consulted with several confidants and ministers, and it was an elegant scholar who spoke to help Li Jiancheng give advice. (To be continued......)
