The Daizhou army was the vanguard and charged into the formation. Tingfei led his own troops to break out and attract the main force of the Yong army. The main force of the Han army came out from the northwest. The Yong people were afraid of Tingfei's reputation and used a large army to prevent him from charging into the formation. Tingfei charged for a whole day and night, and his horse was tired.
With all his strength exhausted, he was trapped by Yong's army. He was injured in more than ten places and could not walk. King Yongqi loved his bravery and went to the front of the enemy to recruit him to surrender. Tingfei sternly refused, leaving it to the future, so he committed suicide. Shi Tingfei committed suicide.
He was only thirty-three years old, and hundreds of his bodyguards were still alive, but they all died. The general loved his horse and threw himself into Qinshui River to his death. The king ordered the general's tomb to be built in the wild, and he also built a "Loyalty Tomb" and a "Yi Ma Tomb" to accompany it in his hometown.
A temple was built behind the tomb to offer sacrifices in the Spring and Autumn Period. All loyal and righteous people who went into the temple to worship would often see supernatural powers.
——"History of the Northern Han Dynasty·The Biography of Long Tingfei"
On April 19th, when the early morning light penetrated the clouds again, there were only a thousand Northern Han troops left on the battlefield, surrounded by the Yong Army. After the main force of the Northern Han troops broke through yesterday, Long Ting flew into the formation several times.
, seeing that there was no chance to break out, they formed a circular formation and stood firm. The Yong army attacked fiercely from all sides, but the Northern Han army responded with a death wish. The two sides fought until dusk. Li Xian was so angry that he ordered people to raise torches and fight hard all night until late at night.
The Northern Han army formation just began to collapse, but the dispersed Northern Han army formed small circular formations and stubbornly resisted in vain. Many hungry Northern Han soldiers drank horse blood and ate horse meat raw on the battlefield.
, refused to abandon their weapons and surrender. It was not until early in the morning that Li Xiancai finally eliminated all the remnants except Long Tingfei and his troops. There were almost no prisoners. All the Northern Han troops were almost ready to die. Some Northern Han troops
After being unable to fight, they committed suicide rather than being captured and humiliated. The few hundred captives were either too injured to commit suicide, or they fainted from exhaustion and had no chance to die.
Li Xian looked at Long Tingfei who was trapped in the siege with a livid face, clenching his hands into fists, and was very angry. At this time, a clear and elegant voice came from behind: "Why does your highness look so ugly? Seeing that the enemy chief is about to be crowned, your highness should
Happiness is."
Li Xian didn't look back and said sarcastically: "It turns out that Lord Supervisor is here, why aren't you sulking?"
I couldn't help but touch my nose, retracted my neck, smiled awkwardly, and secretly regretted that I shouldn't have offended King Qi two days ago. But you can't blame me. Although I have properties all over the world, I have a big business.
The profit is meager and I have lost my business network in Shu for nothing. How can I not feel sad about it?
Speaking of which, the industry in my hands is mainly divided into four parts. The first part is Nanchu Tianji Pavilion. Tianji Pavilion secretly controls 30% of Jiangnan's business, but I cannot control all of these 30%. Most of the shares belong to me.
The other part of my collaborators was distributed to the secret camp disciples, and only part of it is still under my direct control. However, according to my plan, after the world is unified, I will disperse all the properties, that is to say, in the name of Tianji Pavilion
I cannot sell off the property I control at will, nor can I withdraw excessive amounts of money, and in order to support the intelligence network in Nanchu, the profits I should get are basically invisible.
The second part is the Ping An Inn that Lu Er is responsible for. This is an industry that I have complete control over. It is responsible for my contact with other industries. It is also a source of intelligence for me. It takes a lot of energy and money to control such a huge industry.
It’s too many to count. In short, it’s still at the break-even stage. Although there will be steady profits in the future, at least for now, I can’t count on it.
The third part is my shares in Heidegger Shipping Company. This part can be said to be a huge profit, and it is also my current main source of money. Needless to say. Without the continuous money provided by Heidegger, how could I have a fairyland on earth?
Jinghai Villa, not to mention the establishment of Ping An Inn.
The fourth part is the industries under the control of the Splendid Alliance. I originally wanted to give those allies of the Splendid Alliance a place to stay, so that they would not only think about rejuvenating the country and taking revenge every day. Unexpectedly, there are huge financial resources. These people in the Splendid Alliance
Most of them are talented and well-connected heroes. If they are not such people, how can they have the intention to resist Dayong? With the efforts of these local snakes, the industry of Jinxiu League is booming. I am so happy when I see the income accounts every year.
Mouth. At first, I was obsessed with the authorities and didn’t want to give up the Jinxiu Alliance because I couldn’t bear to part with these benefits. But after learning about Xiahou Yuanfeng’s request, I came to my senses and found out helplessly that I had to give up the Jinxiu Alliance in order not to let Xiahou Yuan
Feng infiltrated into my power through the Jinxiu Alliance's industries. I made up my mind to give up all my industries and asked Chen Zhen and others to send more than 90% of the working capital to Lu Er through Tianji Pavilion. Although I tried my best to reduce the losses.
Only the shops, goods and real estate were left to the Jinxiu League to manage these industries. I waited in ignorance for Xiahou Yuanfeng to take them over, but I was still heartbroken. I thought that my annual income would be reduced by 40% in the future. Why not
Let me beat my chest and stamp my feet.
What, you said to me that wealth is like floating clouds, that's nonsense. Although I, Jiang Zhe, don't love power and fame, I still love money. If there is no gold and silver, how will I support my family? Is it possible that I will be corrupted and take bribes? Think about it back then.
Isn't it because Xiao Shunzi beat me up that I took the No. 1 exam? Although I lived a comfortable life for a few years, it also changed my life. If I had a fortune back then, maybe now
I still live in seclusion in that place with beautiful mountains and rivers, reading books, drinking tea, admiring flowers and fishing every day. I have endless fun. Although it will be a bit dull, I can spend this life carefree. Besides, with me
Although my current body can barely be called healthy, if I don’t have enough money to use various expensive medicines to recuperate my body, and if I have to work hard just to make money, I don’t know if I can live as long as Roulan and Shen.
The day my son got married. If you want to live a comfortable life, you don’t need money. The famous calligraphy and paintings I like cost money, and the rare books I like also cost money. The paper and ink I use to write, the fragrance I burn when I play the piano, are full of money.
The exotic flowers and plants in the garden are all piled up with money.
Thinking about it this way, this loss is enough to make me feel heartbroken. After thinking about it, it is all because of the Dayong royal family. Since Li Zhi is the emperor, I dare not express my anger. Changle is my beloved, and I cannot bear to express my anger. Naturally,
I can only express my anger at Li Xian in front of me, but Changsun Ji and Jing Chi, who are Li Zhi’s confidants and favorite generals, so I express my anger together. These days, I have been recuperating and have paid no attention to military matters. Of course I am angry at them.
Gui Qiannu, I also think that Li Xianzu can stop Long Tingfei and Lin Bi. I am not very proficient in combat matters, so I ignore it. How could I have thought that the battle situation has become like this now, but I am still quite concerned about the current situation.
satisfy.
Long Tingfei was trapped and would be tied up sooner or later. Although Lin Bi and the Daizhou army took advantage of the opportunity that Yong's army was unable to reinforce, they broke through the siege of Xiying and led 7,000 Daizhou children to break out. However, the strength of the Daizhou army
The damage was serious, and according to the information I got, Lin Bi's breakout could no longer affect the overall situation of the Northern Han Dynasty, and her survival also left room for change between Dayong, the royal family of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Lin family of Daizhou. The most unexpected thing was
The only thing is that Jing Chi was assassinated and the main force of the Qinzhou Army successfully broke through. If I had not given him a life-saving pill when I was in Hanyuan, I am afraid that his life would not have been saved. This is obviously beyond my expectation. But because Li Xian
He made a decisive decision and ordered Changsun Ji not to worry about the besieged Long Tingfei and Daizhou Army, but to concentrate on chasing and killing the fleeing Qinzhou Army. Although the Qinzhou Army successfully broke through, they also took the opportunity to kill the Yong Army who had sealed off the Qinshui River, and rescued
However, under the pursuit of Changsun Ji, only 30,000 remnants of the navy fled back to Qinyuan. Now Changsun Ji has blocked the Qinshui Valley, and Chen Bing is under Qinyuan City. It can be said that the expected target
They have all been achieved. Although it is not perfect, Jing Chi is seriously injured, and Li Xian feels embarrassed, but this is still a decisive victory.
Looking at Li Xian's cold face, I sighed and said apologetically: "I have been ill a few days ago and I can't help but miss my wife and children. Therefore, I have offended His Highness. Please forgive me."
Li Xian knew in his heart that what Jiang Zhe said was just an excuse, but he could hear the apology and reconciliation in his words. When he heard Jiang Zhe mention his wife and children, he immediately thought of Shen'er's charming and naive character.
Li Xian's heart softened, and his anger gradually dissipated. Thinking again, although he had already promised to get married, whether the marriage could go smoothly in the future still needed Jiang Zhe to make it happen. Li Xian showed a half-smiling look on his face, and gave up on marrying Jiang.
Zhe's little holiday, he smiled and said: "I also know that it is actually a great victory, but thinking of being so useless, not only letting Lin Bi break out, but also releasing tens of thousands of remnant troops to Qinyuan, there are some flaws. Besides, Jing Jing
The general was seriously injured after being assassinated, which also made my king unbearably angry."
Seeing that Li Xian had softened, I also smiled and said: "Your Highness, the enemy chief is now under control. If we can capture Long Tingfei alive and offer him as a prisoner, it will be a rare honor." I originally said this.
I thought I could get Li Xian's approval. After all, capturing the enemy's commander alive was enough to make Li Xian feel proud, and it could also make up for the loss of face he had suffered this time. To my surprise, Li Xian not only did not agree, but frowned and said
: "It's very difficult. I have fought with Long Tingfei for many years and know what he is like. He has a proud temperament and is the military god of the Northern Han Dynasty. If he is defeated, he would rather die than be captured and humiliated. Not to mention others, that is
If there is a possibility of my king falling into the hands of the enemy, there is only one way to go."
I was shocked and looked at Li Xian with new eyes. After many setbacks and blows, the mind of this once domineering His Highness King Qi, without changing his former arrogant temperament, has become as deep as the abyss.
Turning their eyes to the battlefield, they saw Long Tingfei and his bodyguards who were trapped in a tight siege. Everyone's face was very peaceful, and the killings on their hands seemed to have no effect on their moods. That was a real warrior facing a certain death situation.
With a look on his face, I sighed softly. I thought that I was good at grasping people's hearts. I was still a little biased towards this kind of warrior on the battlefield. It was impossible for Long Tingfei to be captured. I remembered that someone once told me that during the hunting palace that day,
During the revolution, the emperor was forced into a desperate situation by Wen Ziyan and had intended to die. Now that I think about it, although Li Zhi, Li Xian and Long Tingfei have very different statuses, they have one thing in common, that is, they are all
For them, real generals can die in battle or be defeated, but they can never be captured or humiliated. Suddenly, I had more respect and concern for the bloody battlefield, which made me, a weak-minded person,
People, let’s witness the final grace of the peerless general with our own eyes.
At this time, Li Xian sighed and said: "Although it is impossible, I cannot give up just like this. If Long Tingfei can surrender, the impact on the morale of the Northern Han army will be immeasurable." After saying that, Li Xian ordered a cessation of war. Now the battlefield is
The situation was completely under the control of the Yong Army, so the Yong Army stopped attacking and just surrounded the remnants of the Northern Han Army. The Northern Han Army, which was already on the verge of despair, did not continue to attack, but stopped in the hope of regaining some strength.
, to reorganize the nearly collapsed circular formation. The battlefield suddenly became quiet. Except for the heavy breathing and the whine of the war horses, there was silence between heaven and earth.
Li Xiance immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "General Long, now you are in a desperate situation. Except for these hundreds of personal guards, there is no soldier to mobilize. I respect your loyalty and admire your military strategy."
Wushuang, if you are willing to abandon your weapons and surrender, I promise that you will be treated as a distinguished guest and will not even treat your soldiers lightly. The general used his body as a bait and fought bloody battles day and night.
Even if you give up resistance now, the leader of the Northern Han Dynasty will not criticize you harshly, so why bother fighting to the death? Doesn’t the general cherish these soldiers who are loyal to you?"
Long Tingfei, who was surrounded by personal guards, heard the words and slowly looked around. He saw only a few hundred personal guards. They were all exhausted. Their shirts were broken, and blood seeped into the red shirts, making it difficult to tell the difference.
Wherever there is blood, where is the true color of the shirt. The bows and arrows have long been broken, and the steel knives have been blunted. There is a deep look of fatigue in the brows of each guard, and there is nothing but despair and indifference in their eyes. Everyone here
Everyone already knew that death would come at any time. Long Tingfei smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, get out of the way and let Long and His Highness King Qi say a few words."
The guards looked calm and quickly separated a path. From the gap in the circular formation, Long Tingfei and Li Xian saw each other face to face again. Although they were separated by a distance, it was enough to see each other's faces clearly. Those close relatives
Wei didn't hesitate at all. It was already a certain death situation anyway, so it didn't matter if King Qi took the opportunity to attack. Moreover, although they hated the enemy coach deeply, they also knew that he was also a hero in the world and would never do anything contrary to his promise.
Real heroes can only understand each other through bloody battles on the battlefield.
Long Tingfei's eyes fell on the scholar behind Li Xian who was dressed in green and looked haggard but had a leisurely attitude. This time, his defeat was due to the joint efforts of Li Zhi and Li Xian. If he hadn't expected it,
Li Zhi would send out a large army to assist Li Xian to deal with him at such a dangerous time. How could he have such a disastrous defeat? The only person who can make Li Zhi and Li Xian cooperate smoothly is this man in Tsing Yi - Hou Jiangzhe of Chuxiang. However,
His eyes flashed past, and finally fell on Li Xian. No matter how detailed the plan was, without this person's hard fight, he would never have fallen into a tight siege.
Taking off his helmet and throwing it away from his horse, Long Tingfei smiled and said: "Your Highness, King Qi, you are also the commander-in-chief of the army. How could you not know that the commander-in-chief was captured, which is a great shame and humiliation. Long is not talented, but he is also a general. Our Long family
For generations, one has been greatly favored by the master of the country and given great power. His wife is treated as a princess. Externally, he is entrusted with the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers. Internally, he is bound by the kindness of his flesh and blood. How can there be any reason to tie one's hands?"
Li Xiandao: "I also know that General Long is righteous and will never give up his hands willingly. However, a general can be willing to die. Should all the soldiers under your command also die? Well, I can be loyal to you. Why don't General Long give orders?"
If the soldiers under his command surrender to me, I can guarantee that their lives will be safe. In the future, the emperor will grant amnesty to the world, and I will promise to disarm these soldiers and return to their fields. Instead of letting them die with the general, it is better if the general lets them go so that they can marry and have children.
, guarding the countryside, doesn’t the general want to leave some heroes for the Northern Han Dynasty? "
Long Tingfei smiled faintly and said calmly: "His Royal Highness King Qi is right. Since Long is besieged on all sides, there is no need to drag them to stay with me. Gentlemen, you have already paid enough for the king and for Long.
, today Long has trapped you to death, but you are still fighting to the death, and you have fulfilled your responsibilities, and are loyal and loyal. Long now gives an order that you can abandon your weapons and surrender. This is Long’s order. In the future,
If there is a chance to see the king again, you can report it to the king and say what Long said, you are not cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but our brave warriors who stand upright in the Northern Han Dynasty."
When these personal guards heard Long Tingfei's words, they were silent with tears in their eyes. They naturally knew the scene in front of them. The coach had already stated that he would not surrender, but he asked them to abandon their weapons. Long Tingfei's thoughts,
Of course they can understand, but how can they feel at ease when they abandon their master and live in secret? A young guard in his early twenties suddenly covered his face and cried loudly. His face was covered with blood, and the tears and blood mixed together, making him more and more miserable. His cry sounded like
It was a signal. One of the guards lowered his head sadly, and the steel knife in his hand fell into the dust. Then, one after another, the guards began to cry, and their swords began to fall from their hands, obviously having accepted the fate that would follow.
Li Xian did not send an order for Yong's army to go and accept the prisoners, but just watched all this quietly.
Long Tingfei showed a bright smile and said: "His Royal Highness, Prince Qi, you and I have been fighting for many years, and we can be regarded as close friends. I have entrusted you with something. I wonder if you will agree."
Li Xian said cautiously: "I, the king, and the general cherish each other, not just for a day. As long as Li Xian can do it, he will definitely do his best."
Long Tingfei's eyes became gentle and distant. He thought about how to word his words before he said: "Young man Long lost his wife and has no heirs. There is no need to worry about his funeral. As for the fathers, elders and children of the clan, they are all loyal ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty.
, there is no need for Long to worry about life or death, they will live and die together with the Northern Han Dynasty. There is only one thing that Long can’t let go of, that is Jiaping Princess Lin Bi, Long’s fiancée.”
Li Xian was stunned. Lin Bi was the princess of the Northern Han Dynasty. Even if Long Tingfei was worried, he shouldn't have mentioned this to him. He looked weird and said: "General, don't worry, Princess Jiaping has successfully broken through and should have returned to Qin by now."
source."
Long Tingfei smiled faintly and said: "It's not Long's pretentiousness. If the Northern Han Dynasty can avoid being annexed by Dayong, it is useless to mention this matter. If it is unfortunate, it will be included in the territory of Dayong. Although Princess Bi is a member of the royal family, she is also a member of the royal family.
The commander-in-chief of the Daizhou Army. The Daizhou Army has defended the territory for more than a hundred years and controlled the barbarians in Yanmen. His contribution lies in Sheji. Unless Dayong wants to massacre all the people of Daizhou, he will eventually appease Daizhou. If he kills Bi
Princess, I am afraid that there will never be peace in Daizhou, so I ask Your Highness to give me some advice to protect the Lin family. Long can guarantee that once the Lin family in Daizhou surrenders, there will be no second thoughts."
Li Xian hesitated for a moment and finally said: "This matter is of great importance. I cannot guarantee it, but I will definitely try my best. My royal brother is wise and powerful and will not harm loyal and brave people easily."
A gleam of relief flashed in Long Tingfei's eyes, and he added: "One more thing, if Dayong rules the world and Princess Bi is safe and sound, Long hopes that His Highness can take care of her on my behalf."
Li Xian's body trembled. If he hadn't grabbed the reins in time, he would have almost rolled off the horse. As if the secret in his heart was exposed, he blushed and said: "General Long, what are you talking about?"
Long Tingfei seemed to have seen through Li Xian's mind and said solemnly: "Long is not talking nonsense. Although Princess Bi and I have already decided on our names, we have not yet married. Although we are destined to have no destiny, after all, everyone
They all regard her as the Dragon Lady. I am afraid that even if Princess Bi intends to choose another wife, no one would dare to seek the queen. Princess Bi is a hero among women, and I cannot bear to have her live a lonely life with this false reputation. The prince is
Long also respects the heroes of the world very much. When Princess Bi mentioned the encounter in the East China Sea, Long believes that the two of them also have a mutual affection for each other. If possible, Long hopes that the prince can take good care of her."
Li Xian's face turned red, and he said after a long time: "Princess Bi is both talented and beautiful, a famous general in the world, and a hero among women. However, Li Xian is a romantic dandy with a notorious reputation. How can he be worthy of Princess Bi, let alone..." Speaking of
Here, Li Xian suddenly stopped talking, because he suddenly discovered the secret deep in his heart. After a while, he actually fell in love with Lin Bi. It was only because of Luo Fu's husband and hostile status that he never refused.
Dare to think about it, now that he suddenly had an honest opportunity to pursue Lin Bi, he was unwilling to refuse it lightly.
Long Tingfei couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and said: "If Princess Bi also wants to agree in the future, I wonder if the prince will agree to this marriage?"
Li Xian was so cruel that he ignored the stunned confidants behind him and said: "If Princess Bi agrees, Li Xian will definitely live up to her trust." After saying this, Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart. Maybe he didn't.
It was a chance to give birth to a legitimate princess, so she took Shen'er as her son-in-law.
Long Tingfei's expression relaxed and he said with a smile: "Long naturally hopes that my country will prosper in Northern Han Dynasty, but he also sincerely wishes the prince everything goes well. Although there are some contradictions, the prince should know that Long is sincere."
Li Xian looked stunned and speechless. Long Tingfei ignored him and whispered: "The blood and yellow sand, the loyal soul is buried deep. Long Tingfei died today, and he still has lingering hatred. If he died, he could still serve the country."
How wonderful it would be to be loyal to the Lord!" After saying that, Long Tingfei took out his sword from its sheath, a cold light flashed, and green blood flowed freely. Everyone screamed, and his body fell off the horse. The soldiers of the two armies originally saw him talking, laughing and having a banquet. Although
He was entrusting his posthumous affairs, but he had a calm demeanor, and even gave birth to the illusion that he would not seek death. Who would have expected that when he saw him bowing his head and whispering, but suddenly drawing his sword to kill himself, they were all caught off guard. Long Tingfei's mount is also rare.
The good horse, the dragon colt, was covered in blood at the moment and had no trace of its former heroic appearance. When it saw its master falling in front of the horse, the war horse whined and bowed its head from time to time to arch the master's body that was getting colder. The neighing sound was sad and sad.
Smells heartbreaking.
Li Xian was dejected. Just as he was about to give orders to deal with the aftermath, one of Long Tingfei's personal guards suddenly shouted loudly: "The general treats us with great kindness, how can we make the general go out alone?" This personal guard had originally discarded his weapons, but when he fought, he
He had been seriously injured, and a sharp arrow penetrated his arm. Although the arrow body was cut off, the arrowhead was still deeply pierced into the flesh. The guard was filled with grief and anger at this moment, and he desperately reached out and pulled out the arrowhead, bringing out a ball of flesh and blood.
The guard ignored him and stabbed his throat with the arrow. He died immediately and fell to the ground. The other guard, who was crying, saw this and shouted: "General!" He leaned over to pick up the discarded saber and committed suicide.
They died. Their actions infected everyone. Those personal guards who had given up their weapons after listening to Long Tingfei's orders were now full of shame and unbearable grief. When they saw this, they all shouted "General" and committed suicide.
Li Xian shouted: "No!" But it was too late, but in the blink of an eye, hundreds of personal guards had committed suicide. Li Xian put down his hands slumped, and couldn't help but feel sad that no one was saved in the Northern Han Dynasty.
Warriors are indeed loyal. In the center of the battlefield, Long Tingfei's horse suddenly whined and ran towards the east. No one in the Yong army thought of stopping the horse, let go of the defense line, and allowed the horse to escape.
I watched coldly from behind. Although Long Tingfei's move was unexpected, it was not incomprehensible. He must have known in his heart that no matter whether he could break through successfully or not, it was already sunset in the Northern Han Dynasty, so he could only entrust Li Xian with his funeral arrangements.
However, he entrusted Lin Bi to Li Xian, which I didn't expect. How this matter has been resolved, whether it is beneficial or disadvantageous, I began to make secret calculations.
Next, Li Xian ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, and I followed Li Xian all the time, wanting to see how he arranged it. Li Xian personally ordered a grave to be built for Long Tingfei in the Ji Family Fields, and also ordered the soldiers who died to be buried.
He was buried next to it and a large tomb was built, which was called the Zhongyi Tomb. On the day of the burial, Yong's army reported back. Long Ting flew his war horse to Qinshui River, wailed and cried blood on the bank of Qinshui River, and then sank into it. Li Xian heard this and sighed.
Without saying a word, I felt sad in my heart, so I suggested that the corpse of the war horse be transported and buried next to the flying grave in Longting. Li Xian immediately agreed and had people do it. The grave of the war horse was named "Yi Ma Tomb" by Li Xian.
Before our army went north, we came to the tomb of Long Tingfei again. Although it was only for a few days, I saw that there were fragrant flowers in front of the tomb. I didn’t know who came to pay homage. I personally drank wine in front of the tomb and prayed: "General Long,
Although I was the one who killed you, it was a helpless thing. I will definitely help you fulfill your last wish. I hope you will not blame me. You have a heroic soul and you should protect the land and water. Don't let evil ghosts cause trouble.
Come and claim my life." For some reason, I felt some sinister wind blowing in front of the grave. I shivered and decided to leave immediately.
