The King of Fortune

Chapter 79 Defeat like a mountain

The army was defeated like a mountain, Li Jing rushed from east to west and killed him until the sky was dark and the sky was dark. He only looked for the direction of Xiqi City and led tens of thousands of troops from the headquarters to break through.As for the coalition forces of the princes, they will be in chaos, fleeing in all directions, and there will be routs everywhere. As the temporary commander, he has lost his dominance over these soldiers and horses.

Without Jiang Ziya, Li Jing didn't expect Han Rong's tens of thousands of people to be wiped out in one battle, but he was confident in a draw. He didn't expect that the war would start for a while, and he would start to be defeated against the Wanren Army, and then lost again and again. , especially that damned Jiang Xiong, he led tens of thousands of people, instead of fighting with the enemy, he stabbed his own people, and the 30 army was in chaos in an instant.

Those generals who didn't know the truth were still shouting and cursing, but Li Jing knew that Jiang Xiong had secretly defected to the court, and Han Rong had made arrangements early in the morning. He only now knew why Han Rong didn't panic at all when facing Xiqi's 30 troops , No one was sent to Wu Guan for help.

It seemed that I still underestimated Han Rong. No wonder Jiang Cheng dared not show full confidence in this battle in the face of an overwhelming advantage.

"General Li, get out of here before the Wanren Army comes over."

Huang Feihu had lingering fears on his face, Han Rong was too terrifying, he was not at the same level as himself and others, even the resourceful Prime Minister Jiang was not as good as him.

Li Jing smiled wryly and said: "I don't know, it's just that Jiang Xiong led people to block our way, there were wolves blocking the way in front, and tigers chasing behind, it's really a dilemma!"

"There is no way, we can only fight a bloody way, otherwise, when Han Rong comes, none of the hundreds of thousands of troops can leave here alive!"

Li Jing nodded, the situation was so chaotic, he had no intention of fighting, the most important thing at the moment was to lead his men to break through.Your Majesty has high hopes for this battle, not to mention the defeat, if you can't keep the tens of thousands of Xiqi troops, how can you have the face to meet Prime Minister Jiang and your Majesty.

At this moment, Li Jing only felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier than the mountain. When Prime Minister Jiang handed over three 10,000+ troops to himself, the ecstasy and high spirits disappeared long ago, replaced by physical and mental exhaustion.

"General Li, the last general was originally the vanguard, tearing a hole for the army."

Yang Jian volunteered, for the sake of the battle, he was extremely depressed, and he didn't know what happened to Jiang Shishu in the battle.

Li Jing regained his spirits, and hurriedly said: "Then I will thank you, Junior Brother Yang."

……

"Damn it, let me just say that these Zhou people are unreliable. Hundreds of thousands of troops fought against a mere 8 people, but they were defeated by the opponent. Now they are trapped here, running around like headless chickens!"

"Then Jiang Xiong is a person who worships Heihu, why did he secretly surrender to Han Rong?"

"You have to ask him, this dog who eats inside and outside, bah, how many drinks did I have with him last night!"

"Stop complaining, think about how to break through, the Marquis doesn't want to die yet."

Under the advancement of the imperial army layer by layer, the allied armies of the princes fell down row by row like wheat.These vassals are bullying and afraid of hard, greedy for life and afraid of death, they have no so-called national righteousness, the war goes well, they are fearless, once the war goes bad, they first think of their own interests.

"His grandma is a bear. She made me anxious and surrendered directly to the court."

"You are stupid. King Zhou has no way, the court is weak, and Xiqi is strong. If we surrender to the court, we will end up well."

"At this time, you still have the mind to think so much. I don't know whether the court is weak or not, but you have all seen Han Rong's strength. Jiang Ziya put up the formation, and now there is no one. With him, we It’s not like falling into such a passive situation.”

"Old Song is right. In the past, Xirong was strong, and we sincerely obeyed him. Xiqi was strong, and we only followed the lead of Ji's family. Now it doesn't matter if we submit to the imperial court."

Immediately, several princes reached an agreement and were ready to surrender to the court.

……

Jiang Xiong dejectedly led his troops back to the team, the first thing he did was to come to Han Rong, and pleaded guilty: "Marshal Han, the last general is incompetent, he did not stop Li Jing and others, and let tens of thousands of Xiqi troops escape. "

Han Rong said: "Get up first, you can run away from the monks, but not from the temple. One day, this commander will wipe them out completely."

Just now, the battlefield was in chaos, and the 8 men under his command were all entangled with the enemy. Faced with this situation, Han Rong couldn't completely control the situation. Fortunately, only tens of thousands of people left.

Jiang Xiong was confused when he heard it, but he didn't dare to show it, so he said: "The last general thanked the Marshal."

Han Rong nodded, introduced Jiang Xiong to Deng Jiugong who was on the side, and secretly placed Jiang Xiong's chess piece. Han Rong didn't tell Deng Jiugong, so Deng Jiugong didn't know it at all.At this time, Deng Jiugong couldn't help but gasped after hearing Han Rong's whole plan.

"Brother Han, Deng is ashamed to be Marshal with you!"

Deng Jiugong was completely impressed by Han Rong's methods. Just ask, how many people in this world, facing the enemy's overwhelming advantages, can completely dismantle these advantages in just a few days and win the first battle.

Even the legendary Emperor Xuanyuan, the god of war, might not necessarily be able to do better than Han Rong.

But Han Rong said: "Brother Deng, the ruler is long and the inch is short. Han was just lucky to win this match, and you should not treat him like this." If he didn't have foresight and countless classic cases in later generations, To win this battle, I am afraid that the possibility is very slim.

Deng Jiugong nodded slightly, and asked Han Rong how to deal with those princes.

In the middle of the war, several princes surrendered on the spot, and Han Rong let their troops go.The surrender of the princes is a major event. Deng Jiugong felt that he should discuss with Han Rong how to deal with it.

Han Rong said, "Since surrendering, we must show some sincerity, let's go, let's meet them for a while."

When Han Rong appeared, the princes were terrified. According to the gossip they got privately, the reason why Deng Jiugong shined in the Xiqi battlefield was all due to Han Rong's advice and suggestions. It can be said that Han Rong is the core figure of this expedition.

"Ji Fa is still alive and the national power is still there. If you carry him back and return to the imperial court, aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against you?"

Among them, a prince named Song Guogong said: "Marshal Han, Xiqi Sutra has been defeated, and his prestige has been lost. Ji Fa can't take care of himself, so how can he manage us. Besides, with Marshal Han sitting on the west side of the battle, Xiqi will sooner or later It’s dangerous, we’re just following the fate of the sky.”

"I am sincerely submitting to the imperial court, and I also ask Marshal Han to convey it to Tian Ting."

Han Rong pondered: "I know your sincerity, but the court is in troubled times and its national strength is empty. Now it is using a lot of troops against Xiqi. Since you are determined to join us, it is not as simple as submitting a begging letter."

"This……"

When several princes heard the words, they all showed embarrassment. In the face of interests, people are selfish. If they want them to pay for food, it is undoubtedly to bleed their blood.

Han Rong sneered and said, "Although the great businessman has spent his national power in battles every year, he doesn't dare to provoke anyone. If you are determined to follow Ji Fa to the end, don't blame me for being cruel!"

"Marshal Han, please calm down. We are of one mind with the imperial court and are willing to provide food, grass and supplies to help the Marshal and attack Xiqi together!"

Song Guogong was so frightened that his forehead was sweating, and he expressed his position on the spot. Several other princes saw this and rushed to express their position.

Han Rong was very satisfied, and after finalizing the details with a few people, he ordered them to be taken to the camp for hospitality.
