Chapter 273 Practice Li Kui
Li Congji rushed to the central army's tent with a quick horse and saw Cai You, who was guarding outside the tent in the morning, disappearing, and felt something was wrong.
In front of the big tent, Li Congji flew off the horse and was about to ask for a meeting loudly when he smelled a bloody smell.
"Not good, can there be a thief assassination?"
Li Congji, who had been fighting for many years, was very sensitive to the smell of blood. He immediately pulled out his waist knife and carefully picked up the tent cloth. He saw the beautiful girl brought by Cai You fell in a pool of blood.
Li Congji was cautious, fearing that there would be thieves hidden inside, and he would be assassinated when he entered rashly, so he stood outside the tent and shouted, "Sir."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Ji, who was lying in a pool of blood, made a faint sound: "Save... me."
Seeing that Meiji was not dead yet, Li Congji hurriedly asked, "Where is the master?"
"Run...... Save..."
Before he finished speaking, his head hanged and he lost his voice.
"Damn it."
When Li Congji heard Cai You run away, he couldn't help but curse, put away his knife, entered the big tent, and saw Meiji's eyes wide open, and her eyes were gone.
Li Congji took a breath and smeared Meiji's face, asking her to close her eyes.
Li Congji couldn't help but stumble when he turned around.
Cai You handed over the command of the army to him today. He was a little happy before. He became the commander of the four governors, but now the identity of this temporary commander has become a death talisman.
Once the news of Cai You running away spreads, the army will collapse instantly.
With Cai You's favor in front of the emperor and Yu Yin, the old thief of Cai Jing, Cai You should not be punished too much. The responsibility for defeat at that time will probably be attributed to his temporary commander. The blame for the defeat of the 100,000 army will probably not only beheaded him, but also the whole family will not be able to save it.
"Try it. If you can pass the test, you will stick to it, otherwise you will be able to surrender. It will be better than going back to be a scapegoat for Cai You's traitor."
Li Congji made up his mind, turned over and rushed to the camp gate.
Most of the Song army soldiers were paying attention to the back. Seeing Li Congji come back alone, someone shouted in the military formation: "Where is Cai You?"
Li Congji shook his head and said, "The adult had an injury on his back and fainted and could not go to the front line in person. When the adult woke up, he would come to take charge in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted: "Cai You ran away, leave us to die."
"Everyone ran away, too."
"Run"
I don’t know who pushed whom, and then the military formation became in chaos in an instant.
Yang Wen and three other governors watched the large number of soldiers fleeing back and shouted loudly, but only a few soldiers under their command had not moved, and the rest fled without looking back.
Li Congji also knew that the situation was over, so he didn't waste his energy and came to Yang Wen and the other two when he beat the horse.
Yang Wen said anxiously: "General Li, what should I do now?"
Li Congji smiled bitterly and said, "Cai You ran away. I'm also a scapegoat when I go back. I'm ready to surrender to Daliang. You guys decide to stay or stay for yourself."
After saying that, he rushed to the front of his troops and shouted, "Cai You traitors ran away. Now the court is so traitors who are greedy for life and fear of death, but they want us to work hard. Now the defeat is determined, and we will be punished by the court when we go back. Even if we escape the punishment, we may be sent to death. I have decided to surrender to Daliang. If you don't want to follow me, then go and run away quickly."
Most of the soldiers who remained unmoved were Li Congji's confidant, and someone immediately shouted: "We will go wherever the general goes."
"Yes, let's follow the general."
"Yes, let's follow the general."
As everyone exclaimed, some people who wanted to leave were embarrassed, but more than a thousand people left were not leaving.
Yang Wen and the other two looked at each other, but they led their troops back to flee. They were all generals of the court, with great family and great business, but they were unwilling to defect casually.
Everyone on Daliang was overjoyed when they saw that Song Jun collapsed instantly.
Li Kui said anxiously: "Crown Prince, let me kill me, otherwise they will all escape and my axe will be useless again."
Chao Yong shook his head and said, "The defeat of the Song army is determined. Everyone is Han. If you can kill less, you should be less. Please ask General Han to surrender them."
Han Cunbao, Li Congji and others had been together for more than ten days, and they were unwilling to fight with them. After hearing Chao Yongrang's surrender, he nodded immediately and said, "Yes."
When Han Cunbao arrived in front of the big village, there were only more than 1,000 Li Congji left in the village.
When he arrived at a place outside the village, Han Cunbao shouted: "General Li, the defeat is now determined, and those who know the current affairs are heroes."
Han Cunbao originally thought it would take some time to talk, but he didn't expect that as soon as he shouted, Li Congji said, "Li is willing to imitate General Han and abandon the secret and turn to the light, and ask General Han to introduce him on his behalf."
Li Congji was also distorted and decided to surrender, so he stopped pretending and immediately directed his soldiers to open the camp gate.
Li Congji rode out of the camp alone and bowed to Han Cunbao and said, "I'm sorry, General Han."
Han Cunbao smiled and said, "Let's go back and General Li invite me to drink."
"must."
Han Cunbao couldn't help but say curiously: "General Li, won't Cai You really run away, right?"
General Li said with contempt: "The traitor not only ran away, but also killed the woman he brought. It's really cruel. The emperor valued traitors like Cai Jing and his son, so I don't want to work hard for them anymore."
Han Cunbao nodded and said, "Many generals on Daliang are green forest heroes, open-minded and generous in their work, and it is easier to work with them."
While talking, the two had already arrived in front of the Daliang Army formation.
Li Congji turned over and got off the horse, knelt on one knee and said, "Li Congji has eyes but no beads, and he mistakenly surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Now he is willing to surrender to Daliang and be a small soldier in Daliang."
Chao Yong also turned over and dismounted, helped Li Congji up, and smiled and said, "I have heard of the famous barking of the mountain dog Li Congji. He was also a famous hero in the green forest back then. I, Daliang, have the help of the general, have become more wings."
Li Kui was anxious and shouted: "Crown Prince, those Song soldiers have all run away. If they don't chase them, it will be too late."
Chao Yong was also amused by Li Kui's appearance and said with a smile: "If you want to chase, go chase. If you catch the prisoners, you will be rewarded. If you only care about fighting, you will be punished if you hurt the soldiers but have no prisoners."
Li Kui heard this and said anxiously: "Why are there any punishments for killing Song army?"
The generals also looked at Chao Yong strangely.
Chao Yong said seriously: "The Song army is also Han people. Now they have been defeated and fled. We have won. You kill them is nothing more than to be happy for yourself. It is not beneficial to me. My Daliang will not be able to use it for a long time. Then they will be my Daliang soldiers. I will also use them to deal with Xixia, Liao and Jin. You will kill them all now. At that time, we will only train new recruits, but what if there is no time."
The generals were very impressed by Chao Yong's arrogance. While they were still thinking about how to unify the world, Chao Yong was already thinking about how to deal with other countries.
Li Kui was stunned and said, "When you let them go, don't they still have to do the right thing with us? It's better to kill them all."
Chao Yong shook his head and said, "Even if they escape back, they will be afraid of my Daliang. They will bring fear to other Song troops. If they kill them all, the Song Dynasty will recruit new troops. At that time, we will deal with new opponents. Isn't it a sin to destroy my Daliang soldiers in order to kill them?"
Li Kui was a little confused and scratched his head there.
Liu Tang said, "Then they are so afraid of death, why do we want them to be prisoners? It's better to recruit new troops, so as not to ruin our reputation."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "The new army is good, but the ability to fight on the battlefield alone requires more than half a year. We don't have that much time, but the Song army is well trained. If strict military discipline is applied, they can still become a strong army. The Song army is not weak in the army, but poor in command and poor military discipline. In addition, Zhao Ji likes to use a commander who takes the lead in running away like Cai You, so we can win easily. With Zhao Ji as an insider, I believe we will not be able to unify the world in a long time."
When everyone heard Chao Yong speak out that the Song Dynasty emperor was introverted, they couldn't help laughing.
Li Kui thought for a while, got an idea, and shouted, "I have a way. I don't bring the soldiers and fight alone, so that I will not harm the soldiers and there will be no need to be punished."
"Yes, that's it. Prince, you can't stop me now, right?"
Chao Yong didn't expect that Li Kui could come up with a solution to get the loophole in his words, and said helplessly: "Then go, but once they abandon their weapons, they can't kill them anymore, so as not to resist Song Jiang's death in the future."
When Li Kui heard Chao Yong's agreement, he immediately said happily: "Okay, I'm going."
After saying that, he spread his feet and ran forward.
Seeing Li Kui heading straight to the Song army camp, Chao Yong hurriedly shouted: "The soldiers in the camp are General Li's subordinates. They have surrendered. Don't kill them indiscriminately, otherwise the military law will deal with it."
Li Kui was originally staring at the Song army at the gate of the camp. After hearing what Chao Yong said, he had to let them go and continue chasing them.
Lu Junyiqi said: "Since the prince thinks that the Song army is better than killing them, why did he let Li Kui kill them again?"
Chao Yong smiled and said, "If he didn't let him go, he would have been making noise here. Moreover, Song Bing had already run for a while. They would have been afraid that my Daliang soldiers would chase him and run to death. Li Kui didn't know how to ride a horse and was absolutely unable to catch up. He asked him to run dozens of miles back and practiced the lunch box."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard Chao Yong's practice of Li Kui like this.
Some leaders originally wanted to chase after him, but after hearing Chao Yong's analysis, they lost interest.
After the Song army fled, Chao Yong asked Han Cunbao to surrender Li Congji, which had been delayed for a while, and it was too late for the infantry to chase him again.
Only Hua Rong temporarily led Dong Ping's horse army and still had the opportunity to make contributions. He reported: "Most Song army is infantry, and the last general led the horse army to chase after him. He should be able to capture many people. Please ask the prince to be clear."
Chao Yong nodded and said, "Okay, General Hua leads the horse army to intercept, General Lin leads the infantry and then rushes to receive the prisoners."
"Get order"
