When Yu Man'er said these words, Li Quan had not yet responded, and several subordinates around him had already shown happy expressions.
That's right, surrender first, save everyone's lives, save so many relatives and family members. Then talk about other things, okay?
It has been several years since Li Quan rose to prominence as a local tycoon in Weizhou. However, in order to easily swing between different forces to obtain benefits, he did not follow the example of a certain force and establish a stable network except for giving himself the title of marshal.
system.
In this way, the entire force will have very little historical baggage, and no matter where it goes, it will be very quick and will not lead to death in a wrong direction.
But precisely because of this reason, when Li Quan's soldiers really reached a critical moment, they immediately thought of lowering their bodies and begging for surrender without any psychological burden. This was true even for close confidants like Yu Maner. In his opinion, his own side was not
I have never taken a knee, this is just a strategy, there is no harm in using it.
Li Quan smiled bitterly.
When he first stopped, he wanted to encourage his subordinates and tell them that he still had a chance, as long as he could rush to the Tieling Platform and capture any one of Pusan Anzhen and Guo Ning... But there was no need to say those words again.
On the battlefield, once the spirit is exhausted, it is difficult to be inspired again. What's more, this guy Yu Man'er is only thinking about surrender, let alone others? Even if Li Quan himself is willing to have the courage to charge, who will follow?
He leaned on his spear and looked up at the heights of the platform.
In a little while, he was wearing heavy armor, holding an iron gun, and with long strides, he had rushed to the bottom of the Tieling terrace. A few steps further, he would be within the coverage area of local arrows.
He has already calculated that this Tieling is not a famous mountain or river, but just a hillock. It will not be difficult for thousands of armored warriors on his side to use the cover of the trees on the edge of the hillock to rush across the slope with arrows fired at them.
.
On the Tieling platform, the servants Anzhen and Guo Ning, who were having talks, had to distribute their manpower to all directions to guard, so there were not many subordinates left around them. The total number of the two families was more than three hundred at best, and the two families were also wary of each other.
, it is impossible to fight hand in hand without grudges.
Li Quan used more than a thousand elite men to attack a small number of suspicious people. How could he miss?
Moreover, Li Quan himself is a master of fighting. I have heard for a long time that Guo Ning ran across Shandong with an iron bone flower, beating countless powerful enemies to their knees. But Li Quan also had an iron spear that shocked Shandong, and he had long wanted to fight with Guo Ning.
Competing!
Li Quan originally thought so, but at this moment, he suddenly became discouraged.
No matter how proficient his marksmanship is, what's the use if he doesn't have subordinates to follow him? How can he fight one for a thousand and rush to the Tieling Mountains to kill him all by himself? That's just asking for death.
But surrender is not an option either.
Others can surrender, but Li Quan cannot.
Pusan Anzhen had just been betrayed. Such a high-ranking official of the Jurchens had a mind smaller than the eye of a needle, and would never accept another traitor with all the evil intentions.
And Guo Ning... he was tricked by Li Quan the last time the Mongolian army invaded. Guo Ning made a pact with Yang An'er at the foot of Moqi Mountain that day, and one of his demands was that Li Quan must be killed. It's just that he must kill Li Quan.
Yang An'er deliberately kept Li Quan, hoping that he would restrain Guo Ning.
By this time, our own plans had been completely shattered by Ding Haijun. How could it be possible if Guo Ning hadn't already planned it? Apart from anything else, Ding Haijun's tens of thousands of elite troops could not be transferred quietly.
To the west of Anding Town!
This guy must have used some method to recruit a group of traitors in Binzhou! This group of people worked together to trick me!
Perhaps Guo Ning also knows that both of them started out in the rough and tried to rise up in troubled times. Their methods and goals are actually very similar.
But precisely because the two are so similar, once they compete with each other, there is no room for concession. Only one person can take this road, so only one of the two can survive.
Li Quan raised his eyes and noticed that someone was looking down on the Tieling platform.
Hey, who is Pusan Anzhen and who is Guo Ning? Are they here to laugh at me, a loser?
Li Quan tightened his grip on the iron gun and straightened his once stooped body. He raised his face and laughed.
No matter what others think, he does not feel that he has failed. In less than ten years, a mere rural tycoon has gained such a great reputation, occupied the territory of four or five states, commanded thousands of people, and almost had the power to influence the world.
Ability, isn’t this enough?
Not to mention wealth, in the past few years, what kind of wine and meat have I not eaten? What kind of singing and dancing have I not seen? What kind of women have I not slept with? Not to mention myself, the people who follow Li Tiejian are all
Everyone is living happily!
That's enough, that's enough!
Just as I was thinking of this, someone called out: "Marshal! Marshal!"
Li Quan turned slightly sideways: "Huh?"
Yu Man'er came closer and whispered into Li Quan's ear: "Marshal, don't you want to surrender?"
"At this point, you can surrender, but it's hard for me." Li Quan chuckled twice: "What, you want to take my head to ask for credit?"
Yu Manger's face turned red and he shouted angrily: "Am I such a person?"
He hesitated for a moment and then said: "I want to... ahem, Marshal, the morale of the army has been lost at this moment. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win..."
He looked at Li Quan's face and plucked up the courage to continue: "However, the soldiers and horses that have dispersed Anzhen and Guo Ning's family on the platform are just this, and the rest of the tribe can't catch up in a hurry. Let's immediately
Retreat and flee to the coastal beaches. They have limited manpower and cannot catch up with us! We only need to hide in the salt people's territory for a while, maybe three months, or half a year. When the situation changes, we will definitely find an opportunity..."
Li Quan was a little moved, patted Yu Manger's shoulder, and shook his head.
After thinking about many things, he regained his composure and his judgment.
"Who is most familiar with the coastal beaches here in Binzhou? Who is the leader of the salt people?"
"It's Yin Chang."
"After we decide to raid Tieling, who is the person responsible for arranging the raid route for us? Now that Ding Haijun suddenly appears to the west of the main camp of Anding Town, it cannot be by flying. Whose territory do they have to pass to arrive? And who?
Whose cover did it take for tens of thousands of people to move so quietly?"
"...It's still Yin Chang!" Yu'er's face changed: "Then we have nowhere to escape? Damn it, this guy betrayed us? I, I must..."
"Everyone has his own idea, don't worry about it."
Li Quan laughed so loudly that he almost shed tears: "Compete with each other and use their own methods. Just focus on victory or defeat. Don't worry about the rest."
After laughing for a while, he said softly: "Although I don't resent Yin Chang, I don't want to give my head to Yin Chang so that he can make meritorious service in front of the new master."
Guo Ning stood on the edge of the platform with a relaxed expression, looking down slightly.
The soldiers of Ding Haijun gathered around him. As for the hundreds of elite troops of the Hebei Jin Army, they were all on alert, guarding their servants Anzhen in Gaixin to guard against the trapped beast of Li Quan who was still fighting.
In the direction where Guo Ning was staring, the man holding an iron gun and running at the front of the team suddenly stopped and said something to his companions. Then, he leaned the iron gun on the ground, suddenly pulled out his saber, and cut it with his hand.
own throat.
Until the man's body collapsed to the ground, more than a dozen people stared blankly, as if they didn't react. After a while, some people cried loudly, some roared sharply, some rushed to hug the body, and some suddenly drew their swords.
, actually intending to commit suicide.
"The way this person acts is completely shameless, but when he is about to die, he has a bit of a heroic spirit." Zhao Jue said in a deep voice.
Guo Ning nodded: "You will come forward soon so that the body can be collected and buried. Don't wait any longer."
Although Li Quan's subordinates cannot compare with Ding Haijun, they are also quite good at fighting. Guo Ning is about to recruit them as soon as possible to expand Ding Haijun's strength. Therefore, he has no intention of humiliating Li Quan, and there is no need to trigger Ding Haijun and Ding Haijun.
The hostility between the rank-and-file soldiers of the Red Coat Army.
Zhao Jue bowed and agreed, and when he was about to say something else, Pusan Anzhen's satisfied laughter came: "Hahaha, that guy is Li Quan, he is dead! He died well!"
Guo Ning frowned slightly, turned around, and saw Pusan Anzhen striding towards him with great momentum.
"Now that Li Quan is dead, the matter is settled. Let's do what we said before. I will take Bozhou, Dezhou, Dizhou and half of Jinan. The other military states in Shandong will be slaughtered by Guo Xuan. How about that?"
The previous intention of dispersing Anzhen, in addition to these military prefectures, also included Binzhou and the complete Jinan Prefecture. At this time, he watched Guo Ning gently and deftly take Li Quan's life, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command.
Shang was sweeping the Anding Town camp, so he lowered his requirements a bit.
