That night's ambush battle, due to Liu Heran's rebellion, the retreat was cut off. Zhao Baian was besieged by Zhang Zhong and fell into a desperate situation.

Zhao Qiankun led three thousand cavalry to the exit of the valley and fought a very fierce fierce battle with the eight thousand soldiers arranged there by Zhan Po. In order to quickly fight and decide, the escape route was opened as soon as possible, and then went back to rescue his father, Zhao Qiankun selected three hundred elite soldiers and rushed to the end of the enemy with a spirit of leaving no return. Zhao Qiankun fought with his life and killed eight generals of Zhan Po in a row, causing the enemy to collapse on the entire line and flee in scattered.

The 300 elite soldiers who rushed over with Zhao Qiankun finally survived, and he was also injured by many swords.

Afterwards, Zhao Qiankun led his troops back to the valley to rescue Zhao Bai'an. After a fierce battle, Hu Xilie, a general from Jiangnan, led hundreds of soldiers to cut off the rear at the cost of his life and fought to the death. In the end, Zhao Qiankun and Zhao Bai'an won the time to escape, while Hu Xilie and hundreds of soldiers were all killed on the spot.

Zhao Qiankun and his father Zhao Baian were left with less than one hundred soldiers, and were chased by thousands of Zhan Po soldiers. In the end, there was no choice but to escape into the mountains, and then escaped by chance.

Zhao Baian himself was seriously injured, but he would not die immediately. There was still a chance for everything. However, Zhao Baian's personality was so arrogant and conceited that he could not accept such a crushing defeat. In the end, he vomited blood and died of worries and anger.

Zhao Qiankun was extremely angry and lost his mind. He immediately went down the mountain to find Zhan Po to fight desperately. Hu Xilie's son Hu Shihou, but after a few persuasions, he could only forcefully detain Zhao Qiankun, then picked two smart soldiers, changed into casual clothes, and went to Jiayan City to report the news here.

Li Xun calmed down and forgot his sadness for the time being, and said to Huang Hui: "I have always been very surprised, where did Zhang Zhong and the 30,000 Zhan Po soldiers go?"

Huang Hui said in a deep voice: "I guessed that Zhang Zhong had a total of 40,000 troops. Although the ambush battle completely wiped out the Jiangnan army, the losses of Zhan Po should be very large, at least not less than 10,000 people. Just count as 10,000 people, Zhang Zhong still has 30,000 people. This time, there were more than 17,000 enemies coming to Jiayan City, of which 7,000 people belonged to Liu Heran and 10,000 people belonged to Zhan Po. So, Zhang Zhong still had about 20,000 people. From last night to now, he has never seen Zhang Zhong's shadow. This is really strange."

Li Xun said: "In this way, we should not be careless. We should prepare in advance to prevent Zhang Zhong from coming."

Huang Hui said: "I have made arrangements to let Yan Yi and Zhou Qian lead 5,000 soldiers to guard the imperial guard camp. Kou Xiong and Zou Meng lead 8,000 soldiers, and with all the captive camps, they enter Jiayan City to prepare for defense. If Zhang Zhong leads his troops and can fight, we will fight. If Kou Xiong leads his troops to defend Jiayan City, we will go to other places, gather local troops, and then turn around and fight again. This is our home court, and Zhang Zhong has no chance."

Li Xun nodded. Huang Hui was a veteran who had been leading the army for many years. His military deployment and arrangements were naturally very mature and meticulous. Now Shi Hu and Liu Heran are both annihilated. As an external force, Zhang Zhong was unable to speak alone. Just as Huang Hui said, there was no chance. Even if he was allowed to occupy Jiayan City now, he would not be able to last long.

After chatting for a while, Kou Xiong, Zhou Qian and other generals arrived one after another.

"Have you found out the situation around you?"

Huang Hui asked Kou Xiong.

Kou Xiong nodded and said, "The scouts have come back, within a radius of hundreds of miles, no abnormalities have been found."

Huang Hui asked Yan Yi, Zhou Qian and others again, "Have everything been arranged?"

Yan Yi said: "Zou Meng has already brought all the people from the prison camp into the city. According to your instructions from the General, he will appease and win over the soldiers of the prison camp. The effect is good, and they are all very obedient."

Zhou Qian said: "Chang Shuo and Hong Chengtao are outside the account. I hope the General and Li Xiangguo can give them another chance. If Zhang Zhong leads his troops, they are willing to take the lead."

Huang Hui sneered: "If I had known this, why should I have been there?"

Li Xun glanced at Guo Yang who was standing aside, and then said to Huang Hui: "The old general, let's give them a chance."

Huang Hui thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Come in, let's have a meeting."

After more than 20 middle and senior generals came in, they sat down one by one, and everyone was very quiet. The situation of the war has developed to this point today, which is actually beyond many people's expectations. They did not expect that there would be so many turning points in the course of the war. It can be said that there were three ups and downs. Everyone walked around the verge of death, but in the end, they successfully got ashore.

Huang Hui did not say anything nonsense, and immediately wiped out Zhao Baian's death, nearly 20,000 Jiangnan troops, and all the troops were wiped out. A series of news was told to everyone present.

When everyone heard the news, they were silent.

Many people naturally show a hint of grief on their faces. They may have many complaints or even resentment towards Zhao Baian, but as a famous general who has been famous for many years, Zhao Baian, as a soldier, refused to surrender until his death. His personality and character are still respected and admired by everyone.

Kou Xiong looked at Huang Hui and said in a deep voice: "Zhan Po still has at least 30,000 troops. If he comes here, how can we deal with it?"

Huang Hui said very decisively: "I have made some arrangements for you before, and I will fight like this. Without the two internal responses of Shi Hu and Liu Heran, Zhang Zhong, as a foreign force, cannot stand firm in the territory of our Han people."

Kou Xiong touched his head and said with some regrets: "I chased him all the way, but I still couldn't hold on to the two bastards Shi Hu and Liu Heran. It's such a pity."

Li Xun said indifferently: "The dogs who fled in panic are not to be afraid."

Kou Xiong laughed and said, "Li Xiangguo scolded him well, I like it."

In the Fengjing War Department, Kou Xiong and Li Xun had some conflicts. Although Li Xun gave in and compromised some of the relationships between the two, that was all. It did not change Kou Xiong's attitude and thoughts towards Li Xun much. However, at the critical moment of this battle in Lingnan, Li Xun fought to the death regardless of his own safety, completely reversed the situation and saved the lives of many people, including him Kou Xiong. This made Kou Xiong feel grateful to Li Xun, and also completely changed his attitude and thoughts towards Li Xun.

Kou Xiong is not a politician, he is a soldier, so he thought it was very simple. Li Xun saved himself and saved the entire situation of the war. This is a man with affection, righteousness and ability. Such people should make friends and be friends.
