Chapter 1340 Captured alive

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Zhao Gou was still heartbroken and annoyed.

Qin Hui and Zhang Bangchang also followed closely. After seeing Li Zhu's power, they also knew that Huazhou City could not be defended.

"Zhang Jun, where are you going to protect His Majesty?"

Zhang Bangchang looked at Zhang Jun and asked.

"Go to Lingnan. The Central Plains has been controlled by Qi State, and Jiangnan is not safe. We can't go to Shuzhong now. The only place we can go is Lingnan!"

Zhang Jun said.

"Lingnan, that remote place in the countryside, do you still have a chance?"

Qin Hui asked, "Lingnan is a place where neither officers nor prisoners want to go."

"The population of Lingnan is not small, and it is far away from the Central Plains. It is blocked by mountains and mountains. You don't need to be afraid of Qi wherever you go!"

Zhang Jun replied that the only safe place he could think of now was Lingnan.

Qingqi soon arrived outside Tongguan.

"His Majesty is here, open the door quickly!"

A soldier stepped forward and shouted.

"Your Majesty? Whose Majesty? I only see a bunch of homeless dogs!"

Huang Zhongfu appeared on Tongguan City and looked at the people below the city and laughed.

"Bold! Whose subordinate are you!"

Zhang Jun yelled that he didn't know the guard at Chengguan, or that he didn't know most of the generals of the Western Song Dynasty. There were so many people joining in this short period of time that he didn't even have time to get to know him.

"Haha, I've always been very courageous. If you have the ability, come over and conquer Tongguan!"

Huang Zhongfu patted Guancheng in Tongguan and laughed.

"You are not one of ours!"

Zhang Jun looked at the strict defenses above Tongguan. It was obvious that he was not prepared to let them enter the pass. This was definitely not what their subordinates would do.

"You finally came to your senses!"

Huang Zhongfu admitted directly.

"No, the enemy has occupied Tongguan!"

Only then did Qin Hui realize that they were now surrounded by enemies from front to back.

"Come on!"

Zhang Jun was about to leave with his people.

But the sound of galloping horses sounded, and Li Zhu had already arrived with people.

"How could you escape with such a huge net?"

Li Assistant looked at Zhao Gou and others and shouted.

"How could it be so fast! One city, two hundred thousand troops!"

Zhang Jun looked at Li Zhu in disbelief. He deliberately abandoned the army in the city just to stop Li Zhu. It would take at least two days to completely defeat the army of more than 200,000 people.

"Twenty thousand people. Can't my army of 20,000 still control the 200,000 sheep in the sheepfold?"

Li Zhu looked at Zhang Jun and said, Huazhou is the sheepfold he prepared for the Western Song Dynasty, and the shepherds have already arranged to go in. It is not easy to control the sheep.

Zhang Jun stood in front of Zhao Gou with a spear, and he was ready to fight Li Zhu.

"General Zhang, wait a minute, let's discuss it with Li Zhu first!"

Zhang Bangchang said.

"What else is there to discuss!"

Zhang Jun looked at Zhang Bangchang and asked.

"Li Zhu, why are you so aggressive? Now Sun Lei is far away in Liaodong and is being besieged by the Jin army. The Central Plains has no owner. If you don't want to watch the rise of the Song Dynasty, then why not share the world with me, the Song Dynasty!"

Zhang Bangchang looked at Li Assistant and shouted.

"Are you done talking nonsense?" Li Zhu looked at Zhang Bangchang coldly.

"Li Zhu, you are also a man who has read a lot of poetry and literature. Do you want to succumb to a bandit named Sun Lei?"

Qin Hui also shouted that they wanted to induce the greed in Li Zhu's heart. Everyone wanted to sit on the throne, and Li Zhu now had this opportunity.

"Li Zhu, I am willing to swear to God that I will fight across the river with you!"

Zhao Gou also expressed his assurance.

"It seems you don't understand anything!"

Li Zhu looked at the three people sarcastically, as if he were looking at a few fools.

"Li has read some books, but he didn't see any benevolence, righteousness or morality in them. Instead, they were all about deceiving the world and stealing names. When I travel around the world, all I see is the suffering of the people and the corrupt officials who prey on the people. The sufferings in the world are all Your Zhao family's crime is to break the bones and suck the marrow at home, and to be servile and flattering to the outside world. You are simply worse than animals. You should have died long ago!"

"Although my Majesty, the King of Qi, was born in a rough country, he cares about the people. Since the rise of power, he has never violated the interests of the people. The people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment. They are all grateful for your majesty's kindness. I only hope that your majesty will continue to prosper for eternity!"

Li Zhu directly drew out the golden sword, his murderous aura reached its peak, and the entire battlefield seemed to be a few degrees colder.

"kill!"

Zhang Jun knew that the negotiation had broken down, and Li Zhu was not ready to let them go.

"on!"

Li Zhu also led his men to kill him. He swung his golden sword and cut off Zhang Jun's spear with just one strike, and took advantage of the situation to stab Zhang Jun in the chest.

Zhang Jun was frightened and tried to block Li Zhu's sword with his broken spear, but Li Zhu's sword was too fast and he had no time to do so. He had to turn sideways to dodge.

"Humph!"

Li Zhu swung his golden sword horizontally, and the blade sliced ​​through Zhang Jun's armor, creating a large gash directly between his ribs.

Zhang Jun screamed and fell off his horse, but Li Zhu ignored Zhang Jun and rushed towards Zhao Gou on horseback. As long as Zhao Gou is captured, the Song Dynasty will be dead, and the suffering of the people of the world will be completely over. .

"You can't kill me, I'm the emperor!"

Zhao Gou was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he whipped his horse and wanted to run away. However, out of fear, he whipped the horse too hard, causing pain to the horse. It raised its hooves and neighed in pain, but it did not run away.

Qin Hui and Zhang Bangchang were also full of fear at this time. They didn't care about Zhao Gou and ran north on horseback, preparing to cross the Wei River and head to the grassland to join the Kingdom of Jin.

Li Zhu ignored these two people. He rushed directly in front of Zhao Gou and slashed with his sword.

Zhao Gou, who also knew some martial arts skills, hurriedly drew his sword to block, but his sword was directly slashed by Li Zhu.

Li Assistant reached out and grabbed Zhao Gou like an eagle catching a chicken.

"If you don't want to die, just be honest!"

Li Zhu's cold voice sounded in Zhao Gou's ears, and Zhao Gou was so frightened that he trembled and did not dare to move.

Qin Hui and Zhang Bangchang fled all the way to the Wei River.

"How can I cross the river without a boat?"

Zhang Bangchang said anxiously that Li Zhu might lead troops to chase him at any time.

"Your Majesty doesn't know what's going on."

Qin Hui still has Zhao Gou in his heart. If he wants to be rich and prosperous, he has to find someone to take refuge with him. Without Zhao Gou, he has no idea now.

"Don't worry so much, it's important for us to save our lives!"

Zhang Bangchang just wants to survive now, and he doesn't care about anything else.

"Then find a boat!"

Qin Hui sighed. He knew that it was useless to worry about anything now. Escape was the most important thing.

The two rode horses westward along the Wei River. The Wei River merged into the Yellow River to the east, and then arrived at Tongguan. They could only risk heading west, hoping that the war in Huazhou was not over yet and the enemy would not notice them.

The two walked for a long time without finding a boat. Then they thought that in order to cross the river for the army, they collected all the boats and rafts on both sides of the Wei River.

"Damn it, where are we going?"

Zhang Bangchang said angrily that they could not cross the river without a boat and would be caught by the enemy sooner or later if they were trapped here.

"Look for a fishing village. If there are no boats, there must be bamboo rafts!"

Qin Hui said that they must cross the river quickly to escape the enemy's encirclement.
