Three days later, within the county seat of Fengyi County.

After the defeat of Li Liangjin, the king of Jiushan last time, the rebels in this county immediately surrendered.

It can be said that under the first battle, they destroyed this bandit who had a huge reputation in the Yangzhou territory, and they were powerless in front of Li Xiuyuan.

However, such a rabble can also attack the city one after another, and you can also see how weakened the national strength of the Great Song Kingdom is.

As long as there is a slightly more decent army, a decent commander, and anyone, any army can easily extinguish the rebels.

However, such an easy thing could not be done by the Great Song Kingdom.

"The battle situation should be counted, what's going on?" Li Xiuyuan said while sitting in the yamen in the county seat.

Wang Ping took the account book at this moment and said happily: "Brother Li, this is a complete victory, Li Liangjin's total of 20,000 horses and horses have been defeated, including more than 4,500 thieves and bandits, more than 13,000 people have surrendered, and the remaining more than 1,000 people are missing.

The grain is innumerable. ”

"How many people did our army die in battle?" Li Xiuyuan asked again.

"More than 400 people were killed in the battle. Wang Ping said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Such casualties are indeed acceptable, after all, no matter how bad the rabble is, it is impossible for the rabble to win a complete victory without damage, and the matter of bereavement has a charter, so let's do it according to the charter." ”

"Is there any news from Xing Shan?"

Wang Ping shook his head and said: "Not yet, but the news from the last scout said that the rebels are still on the mountain, and there is no change, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to stalemate." ”

"Send a hundred leaders of the surrender army to Jintan Mountain, let them know that the king of the nine mountains has been defeated, persuade them to surrender, if the persuasion is successful, they will live, and if the persuasion fails, they will be beheaded immediately if they are caught next time. Li Xiu said from afar.

"After shouting to the mountain, did anyone come down with Li Liangjin's head?"

Wang Ping shook his head and said, "I haven't received any news about this for the time being." ”

"Really? Wait two more days. Li Xiuyuan looked at the bloody aura outside.

After about two days, it will be able to disperse, and then some high-level ghosts and gods will be able to enter the mountain.

As soon as the ghosts and gods enter the mountain, this Li Liangjin will definitely die.

Now it's just a matter of catching a breath.

Li Xiuyuan's judgment was right, and the current Li Liangjin is indeed struggling to catch his breath.

In a cave in the middle of the mountain, Li Liangjin looked embarrassed, his hair was scattered, his expression was panicked, he was trembling and curled up in a corner like a frightened bird, his cold lips were blue, and he didn't dare to make a fire to keep warm.

For fear that the fire will be conspicuous and attract enemies.

The personal guards around him have gone from a few hundred people before to only a dozen people now.

Those people did not die in the mountains, but deliberately took the opportunity to escape, some surrendered, and some were driven away by him.

Because he found that some of the guards were looking at him more and more wrongly.

Li Xiuyuan sent someone to shout, but he heard it clearly.

Those who take their own heads and surrender will be rewarded with a thousand gold and acquitted.

And now Li Liangjin is not sure whether the dozen or so guards around him are tempted by the soldiers.

Therefore, he didn't dare to get too close to them, whether he was sleeping or walking, for fear that one of the pro-soldiers would suddenly cut off his head and go to Li Xiuyuan to receive a reward.

"Little Hou Ye, it seems to be very quiet on the mountain today, Li Xiuyuan's people don't seem to have searched this mountain, the little one thinks this is a good opportunity to escape, as long as we get out of the mountain, we can take a detour to leave here, and when the time comes, take a boat to the south, that Li Xiuyuan can't find me to wait." "A pro

The soldier walked in at this moment, clenched his fists and saluted.

He was a personal soldier brought by Li Liangjin from the Hou Mansion, and he was one of the few people he trusted.

"Continue to stay in the mountains, we will not starve to death or be frozen to death, you are right, let's go quickly, didn't the single person say, as long as you take a boat to the south, you will not die when you go to sea and fall to the island, you can live." Li Liangjin stood up tremblingly, and hurriedly ordered three or four pro-soldiers who he thought were more worthy of trust

He left the cave and walked towards the forest in front of him.

"Little Hou Ye, why did you take the three of us away, and the others were still sleeping, why didn't you call them?" asked the soldier.

Li Liangjin said: "There are many people, and this king is not sure whether they are loyal or not, and today they look at this king with the wrong eyes, and this king feels that he must abandon them, otherwise the road will not be safe." ”

The remaining four pro-soldiers felt that it made sense, so they didn't say much.

Now Li Liangjin is a soldier and feels that anyone can harm him.

Li Xiuyuan's plan was too ruthless, otherwise how could he be so embarrassed that there were only four personal soldiers left by his side.

"Whoosh~!"

Suddenly, at this time, the sound of an arrow sounded, and I don't know where it flew out, and a personal soldier was shot in the neck in an instant, and fell to the ground with wide eyes and unwilling faces, and blood gurgled out.

"Not good, there are enemies. ”

The remaining three personal soldiers immediately protected Li Liangjin, swept left and right, and held the waist knife tightly with their palms.

Li Liangjin in the middle was pale with fright, trembling all over, and his eyes were looking around, but he couldn't see the enemy in which direction.

"See which direction the arrow is coming from?"

"I didn't see it, there are so many plants and trees in the mountains, who knows from which direction they came from. ”

"Little Hou Ye, we have been found now, go quickly. ”

The three pro-soldiers didn't dare to stalemate here, so they hurriedly rushed forward to protect Li Liangjin.

But before he had gone far, one of his own soldiers had stepped on something under his feet, and his foot was pierced, and he fell to the ground with a cry of pain, and when he looked down, he didn't know that the trap set by the damned mountain hunter was actually an iron thorn.

"No, this trap was just laid out, damn it, the people who left last night must have had their eyes on us, and now they must be ambushing around to take our heads. ”

A pro-soldier glanced at the traces next to him, and his face couldn't help but change.

"You protect the little marquis, this iron thorn is poisonous, and I feel that the soles of my feet are numb. The guard who fell to the ground gritted his teeth.

At this time, they all knew that they couldn't delay, and the remaining two pro-soldiers did not hesitate to abandon this person and continue to flee with Li Liangjin.

Soon, however, the two remaining soldiers also died.

One was shot again by a secret arrow, and the other seemed to have found the man, and rushed over with a knife as if to fight him, only to be stabbed and fell to the ground limply.

Li Liangjin, who had no way out, was now slumped on the ground, panting like a cow, and his frightened eyes saw a short, thin man carrying a blood-stained firewood knife, covering his injured arm, and walking out of the grass.

The grass was lifted, and he saw the last of his own soldiers lying in a pool of blood.

"You, you traitor, this king treats you well, why did you betray me?" Li Liangjin was shocked and angry when he saw the clothes on this man, it turned out to be a thief under his command.

The short and thin man snorted heavily, and said viciously: "Thief, you still have the face to say, I was originally a chaifu in a certain county, and then lived a hard life, voted for the young owner, and became a dart master in the dart bureau, because I learned some martial arts with the dart head, and made some silver money by going to the dart a few times, which was originally set."

I was going to ask for a daughter-in-law to live, who would have thought that you, a thief, suddenly led troops to kill, and the dart head was killed by you, and my daughter-in-law who did not pass the door found it was soaked in the well without clothes for three days, and the corpse was soaked, obviously a beautiful girl, but she did not become human

Finish. Do you still have the face to say that you don't treat me thinly?"

"Fortunately, God has eyes, the young owner led the troops to quell the chaos and defeated you, which gave me such a chance to take revenge, I wanted to kill you yesterday, but you thief is too cunning, don't give me a chance to get close to you, so I have to leave at night, guarding you near the cave, fortunately, the dart head is handed over

My martial arts have not fallen, and these personal soldiers of yours have all been killed by me, and now you are left alone. ”

"Today I took your head, and went back to the county, but I worshipped my daughter-in-law, who had not passed through the door. ”

After saying that, the short and thin man strode over with the sharpened wood knife in his hand.

"Don't come here, don't come here, this good man, you can't kill me, I have money, as long as you don't kill me, I'll give you three thousand gold, enough for you to buy a hundred concubines, and how about giving you ten mansions? Li Liangjin was completely panicked, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Bang~!"

But before he could speak, the short and thin man suddenly pounced on him, and stabbed Li Liangjin in the chest with a firewood knife in his hand with red eyes.

"gurgling~!"

Li Liangjin instantly spat blood from his mouth, and a painful look appeared on his face.

"To hell with your stinky money, all I need is your head. The short and thin man pulled out his firewood knife and stabbed it again.

The knife went straight to the heart.

"Ah~!"

Li Liangjin twitched, he no longer had any strength, his eyes widened and he looked at the sky with fear, and his body was no longer conscious.

The short and thin man was afraid that he would not die, so he stabbed three times in succession, and finally saw that Li Liangjin was silent, so he sat next to him out of breath and collapsed, and couldn't help laughing, wiping his tears while laughing.

After his mood stabilized, the short and thin man looked at Li Liangjin's corpse and thought for a while, as if he wanted to cut off his head, but in the end he still didn't do it: "I have taken revenge by killing you, but after all, I have been a soldier under you, if I really cut off your head in exchange for a reward, Ken."

Someone will scold me for being a traitor and bring shame on my fathers and descendants, and I will cut off a piece of your flesh to honor my wife, so that my hatred will be satisfied. ”

As he spoke, he cut off a piece of meat from Li Liangjin's body, then kicked it in his arms, held the firewood knife and strode out of here.

Li Liangjin's bleak dead gray eyes looked at the sky at this moment, and his body was cold, so he was left in the mountains.

He probably never dreamed that he would die at the hands of a chaifu.
