Chapter five hundred and thirty third real villain Xing Daorong
The tip of Xia Houlan's gun finally stopped within half an inch of the back of Xing Daorong's head. For such a coward, killing him would really dirty his gun.
In this way, General Xing Daorong, the best warrior in Jingnan, fell into the arms of Cao Jun.
It's a long story, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.
When Liu Xian came to his senses, Xing Daorong had actually changed his family, from being the first warrior in Jingnan to being a pawn of Cao Jun...
Not only Liu Xian, but all the Lingling soldiers looked at Xing Daorong kneeling on the ground with their mouths open, feeling incredible.
A general is the courage of an army.
Seeing that his general Xing Daorong was defeated by the opponent in one round and surrendered to the enemy, the morale of Lingling's soldiers was greatly damaged.
After more people calmed down, a trace of panic began to spread in Lingling County's military formation.
Sweat was already dripping from Liu Xian's temples, and Xia Houlan stopped being polite to them. He immediately pointed his spear and shouted: "Dragon Cavalry Army, attack with the whole army!"
After Xiahoulan's order was issued, the dragon cavalry army began to rush towards the Lingling army like a tide to cover up and kill them!
The power of Wanqi's charge made the Lingling County soldiers frightened. Liu Xian shouted "hold it", but under the cover of his personal guards, he desperately fled towards the rear.
After all, he was just a pampered young man. Liu Xian's usual ability, determination and bravery were all forgotten in the real horror of life and death.
The soldiers of Lingling were not under the command of their generals, so they were completely routed by the cavalry.
Xiahou Lan and the Dragon Cavalry Army had no interest in hunting down these rabble.
After the cavalry charged back and forth, Xia Houlan said to Xing Daorong in a lack of interest: "I don't want to do more killing, General Xing, you go and persuade him to surrender."
Xing Daorong also saw the combat power of the Dragoon Army. The entire battlefield was basically a one-sided massacre.
After hearing Xia Houlan's words, Xing Daorong, who was still a little intolerant, suddenly cheered up and immediately patted his chest and said: "General, don't worry, those are my old subordinates, they will definitely be able to persuade them to surrender!"
Xia Houlan nodded and said: "After I persuade you to surrender, you will still be in charge... Don't let the Prime Minister down."
After hearing this, Xing Daorong was overjoyed. He quickly clapped his horse and ran to the front of the formation and shouted: "Brothers, surrender! It's time to return to the embrace of the imperial court!"
It has to be said that Xing Daorong still has a lot of prestige in the army. As soon as he shouted, many soldiers who were running around stopped.
Xing Daorong shouted twice more,
Finally, one of the Lingling soldiers dropped their weapons, then squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and surrendered.
Someone took the lead, and the rest of the soldiers quickly followed suit; in a short while, the entire ground was filled with soldiers from Lingling County.
Liu Xian was not seen among the surrendering troops, so Xia Houlan said to Tieniu: "You lead two thousand brothers to chase Liu Xian. You must capture him!"
Tieniu clasped his fists with both hands and shouted loudly: "The last general takes orders!"
Then, two thousand light cavalry galloped away.
In this battle, the Dragon Cavalry Battalion basically suffered no losses, and Lingling's 20,000 infantry soldiers suffered only less than 3,000 casualties.
Most of them had fled, but in the end more than 5,000 people surrendered to Xiahou Lan.
Xia Houlan did not break his promise. He handed over the five thousand people to Xing Daorong to lead them, which was regarded as giving him enough trust.
Xing Daorong was now convinced from the bottom of his heart by Xia Houlan's bravery and magnanimity.
Liu Xian's camp, in the Chinese army's tent, "General Xiahou, what should we do now?"
Xia Houlan was looking at the map he had brought. After hearing Xing Daorong's question, he raised his head and said, "We'll wait for the news from Tieniu first."
Hearing this, Xing Daorong thought for a moment and said, "General Xiahou, I have something I don't know whether I should say."
"In our Dragoon Army, if you have something to say, there's no harm in saying it!" Xia Houlan said with a smile.
"Liu Xian is the only son of Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling. Liu Du has always been extremely doting on Liu Xian. He gets wind and rain when he wants it." Speaking of this, Xing Daorong seemed to think of Liu Du and Liu Xian's father and son's daily life.
For his own good... A trace of sadness appeared on his face, and he said: "If Liu Xian is captured, General, you can use Liu Xian to persuade Liu Du to surrender. If it is done, can you not hurt the lives of his father and son?"
If Xing Daorong had not said these words, Xia Houlan would probably regard him as a coward for the rest of his life. After this period, he would probably no longer remember Xing Daorong.
Xia Houlan asked him with a strange look in his eyes: "You surrendered to me before the battle, why do you still care about them now?"
Xing Daorong was very thick-skinned, and he said matter-of-factly: "The general's martial arts have opened my eyes to a whole new world. I am still young, and I don't want to die so early, let alone be buried in a big-ass place like Lingling for the rest of my life."
...Liu Du, Liu Xian and his son treat me well in normal times. If you don't say something nice to them at this time, I, Xing Daorong, am not worthy of being called a warrior."
Xia Houlan stared deeply at Xing Daorong until he stood on his head with chills...
Just when Xing Daorong was wondering whether to kneel down and kowtow again, Xia Houlan suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha! Yes, you are a real villain, much better than some hypocrites!"
After hearing Xia Houlan speak, Xing Daorong didn't care about being a real villain or a hypocrite. He quickly clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you for the compliment, General. From now on, I will go through fire and water for the General without even frowning."
!”
Xia Houlan nodded and said: "I promise you that I will not hurt the lives of Liu Du and his son, and I hope you can remember what you just said."
When Xing Daorong heard this, he immediately put away the expression on his face. He knelt on one knee, caressed his left chest with his right hand, raised his left hand, and swore: "Xing Daorong swears here that if he violates every word he just said,
, will be pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows and die!"
After finishing the oath, Xia Houlan helped Xing Daorong up.
This man who was as majestic as a bear finally looked a little bit more manly again.
Patting Xing Daorong's thick shoulder, Xia Houlan said to him: "After this war is over, I will take you to see your husband. If you are willing to follow me..."
Before Xia Houlan could finish his words, Xing Daorong immediately grinned and said, "I will follow the general! Being able to join the Dragon Cavalry Army is my blessing in this life, Xing Daorong!"
Just as Xia Houlan and Xing Daorong were discussing how to capture Lingling, the cavalry led by Tieniu also caught up with Liu Xian, who was fleeing in embarrassment.
Tieniu ordered his men to tie Liu Xian up and take him towards the previous camp.
Seeing that Liu Xian had been captured, Xia Houlan ordered his army to go straight to Lingling County.
Along the way, Xia Houlan asked Xing Daorong to do ideological work for Liu Xian.
Of course Liu Xian was not a tough guy, so Xing Daorong took action and quickly persuaded him to surrender to Xia Houlan.
When they arrived at Lingling City, Liu Xian took the initiative to walk towards the city wall and shouted loudly to the soldiers on the wall, asking his father to come out and answer.
