Li Jikui shouted angrily and closed his eyes slightly.
His fists were clenched and unclenched, loosened and clenched again, obviously he was struggling fiercely in his heart.
If he surrenders, he will be completely nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the party.
But if they don't surrender, all the Southern Expeditionary Army will probably die here today.
Looking at the party soldiers behind him, the hedgehog-like phalanx in front of him, and the rows of catapults behind the phalanx, Li Jikui finally gritted his teeth and threw down his sword.
What the staff said was right, leaving the green hills without worrying about having no firewood.
When you die, there is nothing.
"Li Jikui, you will definitely regret your decision today!"
Zhuo Ban spat at Li Jikui with a ferocious expression, put the knife across his neck, pulled hard, and cut himself.
Dozens of his confidants also drew their swords and followed Zhuo Ban away.
But those who committed suicide were in the minority after all, and the vast majority of the party soldiers had long been desperate. Now that the commanders had surrendered on their own initiative, they immediately dropped their sabers.
There were dense clanging sounds on the battlefield.
"take away!"
Qinghuai gave the order, and dozens of people rushed out from behind and took Li Jikui and the main party generals away.
Then only accept the surrender of ordinary party soldiers.
"Haha, it's finally over!"
On the top of Qingshui Mountain, Mr. Zhao Fushu laughed and said: "Sir, let's go down the mountain to meet General Fan and Lord Marquis."
"Let's go."
Jin Feng also let out a long breath and followed Mr. Zhao down the mountain.
As soon as Mr. Zhao entered the camp, he was taken away by his colleagues. They said something happened, so Jin Feng had to take the guards to find Qinghuai.
Qinghuai was busy directing the Tielin Army to place the prisoners. When he saw Jin Feng approaching, he quickly took a few steps to greet him.
"Sir...thank you very much!"
Qinghuai bent down deeply and bowed to Jin Feng.
"Master Marquis, I can't bear the fact that you're out of sight."
Jin Feng quickly supported Qinghuai: "If someone from the Ministry of Etiquette sees it, neither of us can explain it clearly."
"Don't worry, sir, you will soon be a noble too."
Qinghuai said with a smile.
"real?"
Jin Feng's eyes lit up slightly.
Why did he come all the way from Jinchuan to Weizhou?
Isn’t it just for merit and title?
"Dakang and Dangxiang have been fighting for so many years. This is the first comprehensive victory. It is a monumental achievement that can be recorded in history. Your Majesty will definitely confer a knighthood."
Qinghuai said confidently: "Sir, don't worry."
Jin Feng nodded, feeling confident.
"Sir, let's go, follow me to see General Fan. He has been praising you these days."
Qinghuai pulled Jin Feng into General Fan's tent.
As soon as we entered, we found Li Jikui sitting carelessly in the guest seat.
Although his hands and feet were tied with ropes, he was not nervous at all. He didn't look like a prisoner, but more like a guest who came to visit.
"General Fan, why is he here?"
Qinghuai frowned slightly.
"Li Jikui is a member of the royal family, so he still needs to have the proper etiquette."
General Fan said: "This is the rule."
This is the era of imperial power, and the majesty of the royal family cannot be desecrated. This is the default rule among all royal families.
"Mr. Jin, we meet again."
When General Fan saw Jin Feng, he immediately held up his hands and said, "The last time we met, I was blind, I didn't know your talent, and I underestimated you. I am here to apologize to you!"
"General Fan is joking, a young man is just a scholar, how can he be a great talent?"
Jin Feng smiled and waved his hand.
"The gentleman just used a little trick to trap tens of thousands of Dangxiang's troops in Qingshui Valley, and then blocked Qingshui Valley with just a few hundred people, cutting off the Dangxiang people's retreat. If such a strategy cannot be called a genius, who in the world can?"
Dare you claim your talents?"
Mr. Fan's eyes were full of admiration.
"What did you say? There are only a few hundred people on Qingshui Mountain?"
Li Jikui stood up with a loud sound, his face full of disbelief.
More than thousands of party elites had died on the Qingshui Mountain trails and Qingshui Valley these days. He had always believed that the main force of the Tielin Army was in Qingshui Mountain.
However, General Fan said at this time that there were only a few hundred people on Qingshui Mountain. How could he not be shocked?
If the young man in front of me is really so powerful, why was he unable to defend Qingshui Valley and was beaten back to Qingshui Mountain?
After thinking about this, Li Jikui suddenly figured out something, and his eyes suddenly widened:
"You deliberately gave the Han slaves a chance to release Zhuo Ban and put us into Qingshui Valley, right?"
"Li Jikui, it turns out you're not hopelessly stupid, right?"
After being suppressed and beaten by the party members for so many years, this time he finally felt proud. General Fan laughed proudly: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Jin also made the wire, the horse trap, the phalanx, and the catapult.
"
When Jin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
He came to the battlefield just to live a more leisurely life and win a title in the future. He did not come to the limelight, and he did not want to be hated by the party members.
If it's an ordinary party member, forget it, the worst case scenario is to kill him.
But Li Jikui was from the Dangxiang royal family, and it was clear that he would be exchanged back.
He suffered such a big loss at the hands of Jin Feng this time. When he returns to Dangxiang, he will most likely take revenge on himself.
Isn't this just looking for trouble?
"General Fan, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Jin Feng felt a little unhappy, made a scholarly salute, turned around and left.
"I'll see you off sir."
Qinghuai also took a deep look at General Fan and followed him out of the tent.
But he was injured, and when he chased him out, Jin Feng had disappeared.
Qinghuai turned back to the tent and glanced at Li Jikui: "Liu Qiong, take him away for me!"
"yes!"
Liu Qiong didn't care about his royal appearance. Without saying a word, he grabbed Li Jikui's collar and dragged him out.
"It seems Qinghou has something to tell me."
General Fan smiled slightly and waved the guards and staff to retreat.
"General, why did you tell Li Jikui those things just now? Isn't this an obvious way to make Li Jikui hate Mr. Li?"
Qinghuai asked straight to the point.
"Don't you want him to stay in the Iron Forest Army?"
General Fan smiled and asked: "If he stays in the Tielin Army, what will Li Jikui be afraid of? If Mr. Jin can defeat him the first time, he can defeat him the second time."
Upon hearing this, Qinghuai immediately understood General Fan's intention.
While waiting at the foot of Gray Wolf Mountain, the thing he and General Fan talked about the most was Jin Feng.
General Fan once asked whether Jin Feng would follow Qinghuai in the future. Qinghuai replied that after this battle, Jin Feng should return to Jinchuan.
So General Fan deliberately exposed Jin Feng's background in front of Li Jikui, hoping to tie Jin Feng to the Tielin Army.
"General, why are you doing this?"
Qinghuai smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Jin is a capable person, but he is also extremely proud. If I discuss it carefully with him, maybe he will stay, but if the general forces him like this, it may be counterproductive."
