The route of the army's march was naturally negotiated by the rangers early in the morning. At present, most of the sergeants were resting against the trees, smoke was curling up from the cooking pots, the horses were being fed, and the sergeants in charge of patrols were passing by in unison. Tai Ling stood on the slope and looked down at his sergeants, nodding with satisfaction. There is still a lingering sadness between his eyebrows.

Needless to say, the Huainan Army is adjacent to the two places. We had had several dealings with each other in the past, but compared to his own commander-in-chief, Huainan had always been law-abiding, paid tribute on time, and respected the new orders of the imperial court. He also knew something about the strength of the Huainan Army. As for the Shence Army sent by the imperial court, he had only heard his name. It was this man who regained Chang'an and defeated Dugujun.

He was just thinking that a wave of arrows suddenly hit the camp, and the sentry in charge of the investigation was shot dead on the spot.

Someone shouted outside the camp, "I am Li Xiujing, the great general of Youshence!"

Along with the sound, an arrow landed at Taiyi's feet. There was also a letter tied to the tail of the arrow. When he opened the letter and read it, Tai Chi sneered. He didn't expect that Li Xiujing was actually trying to persuade him to surrender.

After regaining consciousness, Tailiang immediately ordered to meet the enemy. He ordered all the troops and led the team to chase him out of the camp.

Li Xiujing, who was riding on the horse, looked at Taiyi who was chasing after him with his troops, and smiled slightly. Zong Rein led Feng Yuanxian and He Liang to ride their horses forward, and fired back with their bows.

Seeing that the Zhejiang Army was about to approach, Li Xiujing stabbed the horse with the long spear in his hand. Li Xiujing turned the horse to the left. At the same time, he loosened the reins and turned sideways to draw his bow and arrow, and hit the man with an arrow.

When he saw that the sergeant he had sent was killed by Li Xiujing with an arrow, Tailiang was furious. Immediately he took up his bow and shot three arrows in a row.

The wind of arrows behind him continued, so Li Xiujing simply lay on the horse and secretly made a gesture to Feng Yuanxian.

"Here." Feng Yuanxian galloped out.

Seeing that there was one person missing from Li Xiujing's side, Taijiao let out a cold voice.

"Go at full speed and pursue Li Xiujing! We must not let him join the reinforcements."

There are many lakes in Xuanzhou. The water in the river they were running through now barely covered the horses' hooves. The rain was getting heavier, but the gap between the two teams, due to the combined interference of Li Xiujing's bows and arrows and He Liang's horses, made it impossible for the Western Zhejiang Army behind them to catch up with them for a while.

Taiyi looked at Li Xiujing with a pair of cloudy eyes and took a deep breath. On the contrary, he underestimated this young general who came from the Shence Army. His command was very organized. Although he fought and retreated, he did not see any confusion in the opponent's formation.

After thinking for a moment, Tai Wei turned to his confidant and said, "Give me the order. Whoever captures Li Xiujing first will be promoted to three levels in a row and rewarded with two thousand guan."

Marching in the rain was difficult, but when they heard about the generous rewards, everyone in the Western Zhejiang Army wished they were riding Lu Chitu.

But it rains so heavily. Although people can endure it, animals have long been irritable and restless. He raised his hooves to dig the ground and refused to move forward until the whip fell together with the scarlet lightning, then he ran forward.

The sound of horse hooves came from behind again. At this time, the heavy rain had blocked the sight, and it was a vast expanse of white, and everything as far as the eye could see was an illusory scenery.

"General, they are catching up."

Wiping the rain off his face, Li Xiujing said: "It's best if they catch up. Tell the brothers to cross this river beach and let them kill them."

"Here."

Accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain, the Shence Army led by Li Xiujing and the Western Zhejiang Army in Taikang ran out of the river and onto the wider river.

At this time, the horses of the Western Zhejiang Army were exhausted, paralyzed on the ground, and refused to go any further. However, there is still a stone's throw away from the Shence Army.

Looking around, Tai Ke gritted his teeth and said, "Abandon your horse and pursue us."

However, as soon as Tailiang's voice fell, the cry of killing rang out. The battlefield veteran was keenly aware of the crisis and quickly called on his subordinates to wade through the water and retreat. But before they could enter the water, hundreds of mounted cavalry rushed down from the high slope.

The height of the slope is enough to maximize the speed of these armored cavalry. The flags are flying, and the shouts of killing are endless. In front of the cavalry, the infantry itself does not have much advantage, not to mention there are so many armored cavalry.

The force rushing down from the high slope has knocked over many Western Zhejiang troops. Before they could recover, Changshu had already penetrated their bodies.

Tai Ling, who was hiding from the blade in the water, looked around for Li Xiujing's figure. Finally, we saw each other on a high slope not far away. And Li Xiujing was also looking at him.

Avoiding the blade that was stabbing him, Tai Wei chopped down a cavalryman beside him, grabbed the horse and ran towards Li Xiujing. However, as soon as the man mounted the horse, he received a blow on the back and fell from the horse. I had to fight with these armored cavalry again.

"General, it's really a clever plan. This guy Taiyi was actually deceived." He Liang looked at the situation on the river beach and praised.

"Calculate before the war, lie after the war. From ancient times to the present, this has been the principle of war." Li Xiujing pulled the reins and smiled slowly: "Taichang wants to make contributions, but I wrote both him and Huan Qi in the letter. I scolded him so much, how can he bear it with his temper? A few days ago, his scouts also found out the news that we were herding horses here. Won't it be a great achievement to defeat me?"

He Liang nodded, "Well, no wonder the general can win every battle. But your words are becoming more and more like Pei Shangshu."

Li Xiujing smiled after listening to He Liang's words.

Until the river was stained with blood and the rain gradually subsided. Tai Ling was captured and escorted back to the temporary camp built by Shence. The rest of the Western Zhejiang Army were also put under separate guard.

In the camp, Li Xiujing was baking wet clothes. Hearing the noise, he raised his head and smiled slightly at Tai Xing, who was being led in by Wu Hua Da. He also ordered He Liang to finish the ginger soup.

"General Tai." Li Xiujing smiled.

"I don't dare to be called that by General Shence." Tai Ke looked up at Li Xiujing, "Since I have been captured by you, you can kill or behead me as you wish. It is absolutely impossible for me to surrender."

As soon as Taili finished speaking, He Liang, who came in with ginger soup, happened to hear him.

"Why doesn't General Tai know how to adapt? Huan Qi's rebellion is a serious crime. Why are you following him to join in the fun?" He Liang handed the ginger soup to Li Xiujing.

"Don't give it to me, give it to General Tai." Li Xiujing stuffed the sachet next to her hand into her coat, "General Tai, take a sip of ginger soup to warm yourself up, and then we can have a good talk."

After looking at Li Xiujing in confusion, He Liang reluctantly brought the ginger soup to Tai Jing again.

Tai Ling didn't answer, and said with a smile: "What a great man, he actually carries a woman's sachet on his body. Sure enough, after staying with the eunuchs for a long time, people have become like those eunuchs."

"I'm afraid General Tai has misunderstood. The sachet was a gift from a sweetheart, so it must be kept properly." After saying that, Li Xiujing stood up and walked to Taiyi, and personally untied the rope for him. "Huan Qi's crime of treason cannot be forgiven, but it can't be forgiven." General, you still have a chance of survival. Why risk your life for him?"

"Why is it possible that if I surrender, the court will let me go?"
