So many troops were stationed instead of arresting or exterminating the bandits, but closing the gates of the city instead. What is the reason for this?

As for Li Daozong's all, the Koreans are dubious. After all, Yang Wanchun has been the city lord for decades, and his superficial reputation is not bad.

For a while, the Koreans didn't know who was right and who was wrong.

The old man also had doubts in his heart, but it was a matter of his wealth and life, so he could only bite the bullet and ask: "If you dare to ask the general, it may be possible..."

Li Daozong watched with eyes, a little impatient.

Zhang Liang, who was behind him, said in a low voice: "Anyway, the corpses in the river are going to be fished out. Instead of letting the soldiers take the risk of getting sick, let them do it themselves!"

Makes sense! !

Sooner or later, the corpses will be brought out. To get rid of this hidden danger, it is better to let the soldiers get rid of it by themselves than to get them out.

Li Daozong nodded, stretched his brows and said, his eyes were like lightning, and he said to all the Koreans.

"The general can send an army to lead you to see what Yang Wanchun did, but you need to do things like pick up the corpse."

After all, he looked at the old man with his eyes, exerting invisible pressure.

"This~"

The old man looked distressed, very suspicious that Tang Jun thought he was not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to sink himself into the river.

"You don't have to worry about your safety, I am the King Jiangxia of the Tang Dynasty, and I promise you will return safely!"

Chapter 193 The cliff ahead, turn around and face the battle

"King Jiangxia?"

"Is it the King Jiangxia who chased Tuguhun for two thousand miles?"

"Is it the King Jiangxia who captured the Turkic Jieli Khan?"

When the Korean people heard Li Daozong's self-signed name, their expressions changed drastically, and their eyes were full of awe and fear.

Not for anything else, just because the name Jiang Xia Wang is too resounding.

Facing Li Daozong's gaze, the old man seemed to be being watched by a tiger, and swallowed stiffly.

"King Jiangxia is famous all over the world, this old man... I would like to believe in King Jiangxia."

Li Daozong turned his head and asked the soldiers behind him, "Did the Mohe people tell us where the corpses were thrown?"

"Don't worry, general, the interrogation has already come out."

"Okay, send two teams to lead them to retrieve the corpse, so as to solve this hidden danger as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

soon.

Two teams of soldiers in armor and holding spears stood before everyone.

They were escorting a Mohe man with a bruised nose and his hands bound.

Li Daozong waved his hand and ordered to the old man.

"You wait for twenty able-bodied men to take the wheelbarrow and set off with the army to fetch the corpse from the river."

"Yes!" The old man didn't dare to disobey, turned around, and said a few words in Korean that he didn't understand to the people behind him.

The crowd became agitated, and twenty Koreans with unwilling faces walked out of it, and another tribe gave up their wheelbarrow

"Follow up, follow up!!" The leading soldier waved his hand to signal the Korean to come forward.

"Yes Yes!"

Under the eyes of everyone, the soldiers led twenty Koreans out of the city gate.

As time went by, the news gradually spread, and more and more Koreans gathered here with their families.

After they heard the news, they also wanted to know what happened, and waited here at a distance after their companions explained.

Zhang Liang glanced at the Koreans who appeared continuously, his face was a little dignified.

"There are more and more people. If this continues, the people may be in disorder. Do you want to transfer some people from the barracks to guard this place?"

"I'm afraid not!"

"One part of the army has to guard the tens of thousands of Mohe captives, the other part has to maintain the stability of the entire city, and there are still many people lying in the ward!"

All the people were silent when they heard the words, and there were simply not enough manpower.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Liang said worriedly: "If someone deliberately instigates it, it may cause chaos. There are hundreds of thousands of Koreans in this city!"

Li Daozong stood still, and said proudly: "It's okay, even if there are millions of Koreans, they are nothing in front of me!" ! "

Niu Jinda squinted slightly, and said disdainfully: "It's just a bunch of mobs, if my Lao Niu dares to rebel, my Lao Niu can kill them all!"

"Tch, I sound like I'm scared..."

As time passed, the city gate opened slowly.

Tang Jun and twenty Koreans pushing wheelbarrows appeared in front of everyone.

"They really came back!"

"What's that sack on the wheelbarrow?"

"I don't know, it smells so bad..."

Tang Jun, the leader of the team, walked up to Li Daozong and reported.

"General Qi, there are too many corpses in the river. I am afraid that the general and others will summon me, so I took my own initiative and brought some of them back."

Li Daozong nodded and praised: "Well done!"

After finishing speaking, he walked slowly in front of the wheelbarrow that the Korean man was pushing, and with a bang, he pulled out a Tang saber in front of everyone, looking down upon all the Korean men.

The Koreans only felt a cold light flash in front of their eyes, and they couldn't help being angry and fearful.

He raised his sword and shouted loudly: "The plague has nothing to do with you, it was Yang Wanchun who threw the corpse, which caused my Tang soldiers to be infected with the plague.

Today, I, the King of Jiangxia, together with Patriarch Pu, sent people to pick up the corpse from the river to prove the crime of Yang Wanchun and to reassure the people! ! "

After all, Li Daozong cut the sack with a horizontal knife, and the sack was directly torn open.

A swollen unrecognizable corpse was displayed in front of everyone.

All of a sudden, there were sounds of vomiting, panic, and discussions, and the scene suddenly became commotion.

"He is wearing Korean clothes, and Tang Jun hasn't come before, which means it was really made by the city lord!!"

"How could he do this, it must be condemned by God."

"No wonder there are bandits stealing people. It turned out that they were throwing corpses in the river. The city was closed so that I would not touch the river water!!"

"Damn Mohe people, damn Yang Wanchun!!"

"So, Tang Jun is really infected with the plague, so wouldn't I be at risk of being infected if we gather here!?"

For a moment, while everyone was furious, they also felt terrified, and retreated involuntarily, showing a look of horror.

Not long after, the faces of the gathered Koreans were terrified, and even greater panic began to spread, lest they be infected with the plague.

"Hmph! A group of rabble, another million will be nothing more than chickens and dogs!!" Li Daozong looked at the Koreans scattered like birds in front of him with disdain.

On the other hand, the old man and his clansmen stood aside with bitter faces.

"Why don't you go away!? But you still want to go out of the city, not afraid of the chaos?"

The old man's face trembled, showing shame and said: "It's the old man who is ashamed, the old man's fault, please give the old man a chance to make up for it."

"Compensation, what do you have that can catch my eyes?" Li Daozong said contemptuously.

"I'm a businessman, and I still have some Korean ginseng and medicinal materials in the cellar at home. I would like to dedicate it to the general so that he can replenish his body."

"Medicine!?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, how could they have forgotten this, how many medicine shops can be found if they are looking for medicinal materials?You must find those nobles and drug dealers.

Zhang Liang and the others looked at each other, and passed a look [the medicine has been found]

"Okay, come here, have a banquet, treat Patriarch Park well!!" Li Daozong smiled, as if seeing a fat sheep, and Patriarch Park shuddered when he saw it.

at the same time.

Changsun Wuji drove the battleship to the Daliao River in Guzhu, which is more than [-] kilometers away from Anshi City.

Originally, the speed should be faster, but more than a dozen people on the battleship fell ill first, and along the way they had to stop at the shore to rescue the fallen soldiers, so a lot of time was delayed.

Fortunately, no eggs were produced.

According to the rescued soldiers, Yang Wanchun was traveling all the way east and wanted to escape to Guzhu.

This means, that is to say, the Daliao River is a place he must pass through.

Changsun Wuji looked up at the two banks of the Daliao River. At this time, the river was wide and calm.

This means that there are no bridges, and a large number of ships must be prepared in advance to pass.

But obviously Yang Wanchun fled in a hurry, how could he prepare the ships in advance?

So he had two options at this time, one was to change direction and escape towards the north, and the other was to continue along the river bank, wait until the narrow place, and pass through the bridge.

But no matter which way he chooses to escape, he can stay here.

Even if you can't squat to guard him, you can go northward along this river, and you can stop his idea of ​​fleeing to the north.

"Woo." A long cry sounded, startling countless birds in the forest to hop and flee.

It doesn't seem to be here, so we have to keep moving forward.

Changsun Wuji scanned the surroundings with a binoculars, and then drove a certain distance.

I saw that the wide river bank gradually narrowed, and the river became turbulent, with straight and steep mountains on both sides, and a wooden bridge connecting the two banks in the middle.

Changsun Wuji observed carefully with a binoculars, and murmured in admiration.

"

There are cliffs and cliffs here, and only a wooden bridge connects the two sides. As long as someone guards the bridgehead and cuts off the rope after passing through, it is an excellent place to escape!

Such a good place to escape must not be left behind, otherwise once you pass through here, you will be tens of kilometers away from the hinterland of the plain, and it will be troublesome if you want to intercept it. "

"Come on, blow up this bridge!!"

"Yes!"

With an order, several gunners took sandbags and cannons to the deck and aimed behind the wooden bridge.

Just listen to the rumble.The shells fell straight on the bridgehead on the cliff.

I saw countless mud and rocks rolling down the cliff, and the wooden piles used to fix the bridge fell together with the rocks. The wooden bridge broke from this side, and countless planks were scattered in the water.

"Good fight!!" Changsun Wuji exclaimed.

And at this moment, at the foot of the mountain.

Li Shiji's face was flushed and he was out of breath, pointing his sword at Yang Wanchun and Gao Yanshou in the distance, he shouted loudly.

"You have nowhere to escape, thief. If you don't let go, you will be captured. This general promises to keep your whole body!!"

"Catch it without a fight!!"

"Come on!"

More than 2000 gun and shield soldiers behind him knocked on their shields and shouted in unison.

"Damn it!!" Gao Yanshou cursed with despair on his face.

At this moment, he was covered with grass leaves and branches, and his figure was very embarrassing.

Because the horses had been running for a long time without water, and the weather was hot, they were already so tired that they foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground.

Everyone had to dismount and run away.

The physical strength of Gao Yanshou, Yang Wanchun and others is no match for Li Shiji who has been away all year round, and they are chasing closer and closer.

At this moment, the two of them had cracked lips, panting like cows, and felt that their legs were numb, and they were not their own.

Gao Yanshou showed despair, and said with tears all over his face: "Crazy, really crazy, he chased me for hundreds of miles! This is hundreds of miles!!"
