Chapter 944
"My lord, we are chasing on horseback. The other soldiers are walking at different speeds. When you are hungry, drink a few sips of wine to warm your stomach. When the troops behind come, the backup supplies are almost here. When the time comes, let's kill a few of them." The cow will give the adults a full meal."

Liu Yanzhen nodded and said: "All right, all right, I want to gain some weight. The sky is getting darker and darker. Let's stay here overnight and return to Shouzhou tomorrow to show off in front of Liu Renshan. I want to see his uncomfortable face. Although there is no friendship, I have known him for many years, his face has never changed, and his calm expression seems unshakable, this time I will let him make a move."

It was getting darker and colder, and the soldiers didn't bring anything, and they were hungry all day, which was really uncomfortable.Just when Liu Yanzhen was about to lose her temper, she suddenly heard a large number of footsteps...

"It's finally here. This group of trash usually eats more than anyone else, but it turned out to be useless. Hurry up..." Liu Yanzhen suddenly felt something was wrong. The speed of this group of people was too fast. If only the infantry behind ran away How can I have this strength all day long?Moreover, the sound of footsteps was too heavy, and there shouldn't be that many of them.

Just as he was wondering, Xian Shilang suddenly came to report: "My lord is not well. The Zhou army crossed the pontoon bridge at night and was preparing to attack. The vision is too poor at night, and we are all cavalry. Although we have bows and arrows, we can't shoot them at all."

"It's just a trivial matter, just stand on the bank of the river and tell them to come and kill one, or two to die." Liu Yanzhen was not in a hurry, because he had a good location, he was not afraid of the Zhou army's attack at all.

After a while, Xian Shilang didn't report back, it is believed that the situation has been stabilized.But Liu Yanzhen still felt something was wrong, was the rushing sound too loud?And it's not just in the direction of the river, why is there fighting sound in the direction behind him?
Just as he was wondering, Xian Shilang appeared in front of Liu Yanzhen again: "My lord, this time is really bad. The Zhou army attacked from the rear, and we ambushed among us."

"Ambush? Where did the troops behind us go?"

"I don't know, maybe it's too far away, so I haven't arrived yet. But after so long, it should be almost there."

Liu Yanzhen gritted her teeth and said, "Defend and persevere. When our army arrives, we can kill every single one of them."

Thousands of cavalry faced the attack of Zhao Kuangyin and Li Chongjin, and they were still attacked by the enemy. Soon, the entire army was wiped out, and all the captured soldiers were rescued. After the first battle, there was almost no big loss, and Liu Yanzhen was directly taken down. Shi Lang tried his best to protect Liu Yanzhen, but was hacked to death with a knife.

In the end, Zhao Kuangyin and Li Chongjin joined forces and completely captured Liu Yanzhen's army.They also brought Liu Yanzhen himself into Li Gu's tent on the other side of the river.

In this battle, they were invisible at night, and with more people fighting less, there was no suspense.Liu Yanzhen had no military talent at all. Her only ability was to play with power. She didn't let anyone lead troops to fight in the first place, so she had to make a fool of herself.

Zhao Kuangyin and his party had actually crossed the river a long time ago, but they immediately marched to another place to cross the river again, and they were already prepared for an ambush.If a large number of people go directly to ambush, the pursuers will see their footprints scattered, which will easily expose this plan.So Zhao Kuangyin would rather trouble a little, and find a place to ambush after crossing the river twice.

This time, Zhao Kuangyin and Li Chongjin were in a group, and Zhao Kuangyi also followed the army with his second brother. With Zhao Kuangyi's martial arts, there was no need to worry that he would be injured in front of the two armies. As long as he was not besieged, there would be no problem.Zhao Kuangyin and his party first sent people to wait and see from a high place, and after Liu Yanzhen's cavalry unit left, they went directly to attack the infantry behind and took all the food and supplies by the way.

This time, Zhao Kuangyin and his party almost reached under the city wall of Shouzhou, plundering countless resources, and Shouzhou guard Liu Renshan watched helplessly on the city wall as this team devoured most of the supplies that originally belonged to Shouzhou. Liu Renshan had nothing to do, and he didn't send a single soldier. He just closed the city gate and watched from above the city wall, and didn't even order anyone to shoot arrows...

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin originally thought that even if Liu Renshan didn't dare to go out of the city for reinforcements, he should at least shoot arrows in the city, so that at least they could restrict their actions and even kill some of the Zhou army.But Liu Renshan thought it was meaningless to do so. After all, supplies were scarce now, so it would be better to save more arrows and wait for the next Zhou army to attack the city.

After Zhao Kuangyin and Li Chongjin hit the city of Shouzhou, they immediately turned to chase Liu Yanzhen's cavalry. It was not until late at night that Zhao Kuangyin turned around and returned to the bank of Huainan. At the same time, Zhou Jun also forcibly crossed the river from the floating bridge. Attacked from the front and back, the cavalry unit was completely annihilated before it could charge.

When Liu Yanzhen was pressed to Li Gu's camp, fear was written all over his face. He really didn't know how he failed, let alone why there was an enemy army in the rear, because they were chasing their footprints all the way to the Huaihe River. Go, there is no dispersal at all, how could there be enemy troops hiding?
Zhao Kuangyin threw Liu Yanzhen to the ground, and then said: "General Li, this time you are the coach, and Li Chongjin and I are the pioneers. You decide how this man will die."

Li Gu said with a satisfied face: "The two generals have worked hard, what can we do this time?"

"Go back to General Li, capture more than [-] people, kill more than [-] people, seize most of the grain and grass Liu Yanzhen sent to Shouzhou, and more than [-] horses from the cavalry force."

"Not bad, not bad, everything is within the expectations of the coach." Li Gu also let go of the big stone in his heart, because he was the first coach assigned by Chai Rong to attack Shouzhou, but it is a pity that there has been no progress after so long. , and the loss of soldiers and generals, originally thought that after Chai Rong came to Shouzhou, he would be severely punished, but... Liu Yanzhen actually gave him such a big gift, how could he not accept it?
Although no one captured Shouzhou, they intercepted the grain, grass, soldiers and horses that Liu Yanzhen sent to Shouzhou, and captured Liu Yanzhen alive. This is no small feat.With this merit, even if Chai Rong came, he would only scold himself a few words, but he would never punish him, and he would even praise him.

Li Gu put on a show and said: "Who is the general who will be surrendered, please report his name."

"Why do you need to talk too much?" Zhao Kuangyin said, "It's enough to just decide how to die. This kind of gutless little person, if you don't kill him, it's a waste of food. There's no need to talk nonsense with him."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't give Li Gu face at all. Even though he was the coach, it was Zhao Kuangyin's brothers who charged into the battle, and Li Gu's status was not as good as Zhao Kuangyin's, but Chai Rong appointed him to be the first to take charge.Not to mention Zhao Kuangyin's bad tone towards him, even Li Chongjin didn't want to give Li Gu face.

Fan Zhi said: "General Zhao, please be more polite. After all, General Li is also the person in charge this time. Although he really has no skills, but this time the retreat was proposed by him. There is hard work without credit, right?"

Li Chongjin said: "Lord Fan, what you said is wrong. Li Gu just said that after retreating, he should guard the pontoon bridge and wait for His Majesty to come in person, but the plan of coming back to ambush after crossing the river was thought up by little brother Zhao Kuangyi, even if it is rewarded, he should be rewarded." He is."

"I'm the person in charge. If I don't agree, you can't do this, right? What's more, I didn't say I wanted to take away all the credit. I just want a little hard work. Aren't you upset?" Li Gu said depressedly: "Master Fan also said that I am responsible this time, can't you just let me pretend for a while?"

"All right, all right, keep pretending."

Li Gu said: "Who is the general who will be surrendered, please report his name."

Liu Yanzhen was dumbfounded, was she really defeated by this group of generals who quarreled all day long?How they lost is still unclear, but some clues were heard from their conversations. Zhao Kuangyin crossed the river first, then crossed the river again from other places, and then found a place to ambush.

Liu Yanzhen's defeat was convincing, but she regretted it. She should have listened to Liu Renshan's words and stayed in Shouzhou honestly. It didn't last long, and the group of people were discussing how to kill themselves.

Since it was a dead end, Liu Yanzhen also went out. Anyway, he couldn't survive, so it's better to be tough before dying.

"Huh~ If you want to kill, you have to do whatever you want, so why do you need to talk too much?" After Liu Yanzhen said this, she suddenly felt very comfortable in her heart. This is the first time that she has been so tough. It feels so natural to be so tough in front of others. good.

Li Gu admired: "Oh~ you have such a temper? This is beyond my expectation. Zhao Kuangyi, you have a good memory. Is Li Yanzhen so stubborn in the rumors?"

"Liu Yanzhen, deputy general Xian Shilang and others are both brave and foolhardy. They usually only play some political tricks. Not only does he not have such a temper, he should be extremely timid and afraid of death. If he is captured, he will kowtow and beg for mercy." Zhao Kuangyi said: "If you have this temper... maybe you have arrested the wrong person. But if you think about it carefully, maybe the words of the second brother just now stimulated him, and he kept talking about how to kill him. As a result, he thought that he would definitely die, and wanted to kill him beforehand. Give yourself some dignity before you die."

Li Gu nodded and said: "Liu Yanzhen, is this the case? If I say I can give you a way of life, how much money are you willing to pay in exchange for this way of life?"

"What do you mean, my lord? Are you really willing to let me live?" Li Liuyan's eyes suddenly lit up. He thought there was a dead end, but unexpectedly there is a life.If they have money in their own family, if they are willing to give them a way out, they can give as much as they want. Anyway, things like money can be earned again, but if a person dies, no matter how much money they have, it will belong to others.

'Shua~~~'

Zhao Kuangyi raised the knife in his hand, and directly chopped off Liu Yanzhen's head to the ground, followed by a spurt of blood from his chest, causing most of the people present to have blood on their faces.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't know why Zhao Kuangyi suddenly killed Liu Yanzhen with a knife. He wanted to play tricks on him for a while.Anyway, Liu Yanzhen is definitely going to die. Even if this kind of person surrenders, it is useless. There is no need to keep him alive, but there is no need to be so anxious. After finally capturing the enemy prisoners, he wants to play for a while.
