Horse on the World

Chapter 825 Surrender
"Come on, if you meet an old friend in a foreign land, you should be clear about it. Please, General He." Liu Jiang raised his wine glass with a smile on his face.

After watching Liu Jiang for a while, He Ping picked up his wine glass and drank it down.

"Cheerful!" Liu Jiang laughed, "Come on, try it, this is our Dingzhou secret method special stewed noodles, General He, this is duck tongue! Thanks to General He, I can't usually eat it."

He Ping looked at Liu Jiang, who was talking and laughing freely, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Brother Liu, you are here just to catch up on the old days? If it's just to catch up on the old days, we can continue to drink this wine. If you have any other ideas, please invite me now." Come back!"

Liu Jiang smiled, "General He has been at Miaozui for several days, why has he hesitated to move forward? Presumably General He wants to go straight to General Lu Da of Lianghekou, right?"

He Ping was stunned, the other party knew his situation well, but now he was like a blind man with black eyes who knew nothing about the other party.

"This is a military plane, sorry I can't say it clearly."

Liu Jiang laughed loudly, stood up, and pointed in the direction of Lianghekou, "To tell the truth, General He said that at this time, there are only two thousand Dingzhou troops left in the direction of Lianghekou, and the commander is mere subordinates, while Lu The troops of General Dong Dasheng and General Dong Dasheng are already on their way to attack Changning, and they will attack Changning's defenders together with Changning Dingzhou generals Jin Chao and Xu Ji."

He Ping stood up abruptly and looked at Liu Jiang in disbelief.

"General He is wondering why our army abandoned Xinling and rushed to Changning? General He is wondering why we ignored the troops of Marshal Zeng Yifan? Even more wondering why we knew that General He was staying here but ignored it, leaving only The next 2000-strong rear army, and now the commander of this rear army is sitting in front of you, General He, right?" Liu Jiang leaned over, picked up his wine glass, and drank it in one gulp.

He Ping swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and put his hand on the handle of the knife.

Liu Jiang didn't seem to see the other party's movements, and with his hands behind his back, he said slowly: "Originally, we could gather heavy troops and defeat General He in one fell swoop, but General Lu said that there is no need to waste time with only 3000 troops. General He, I Let me tell you bluntly, now you are alone. There is no way to heaven, no way to earth."

He Ping gritted his teeth and said: "Since Xinling is empty, the young commander can march straight forward. You are looking for your own death."

"Walk the army straight forward?" Liu Jiang laughed wildly, "At this time, the army of Marshal Zeng is in a hurry, but the direction is not Xinling, but retreating in large strides. General He, you have been abandoned. .”

He Ping turned pale, "You fart!"

Liu Jiang turned around and stared at He Ping, "General He is a veteran. You should know that if Marshal Zeng hadn't run away, how could our army flank the main force of Hu Zequan's Southern Army in Changning? Why ignore your army, because the current You are no longer a threat! General He, within a few days, your army will freeze to death, and starve to death, do you still need us to fight?"

Looking at the other party's fearless face, He Ping's expression fluctuated, "Why did Marshal Zeng run away? We have the upper hand in Weizhou at this time."

"Superior?" Liu Jiang sneered, "To tell you the truth, General He, half a month ago, my lord of Dingzhou, Li Dashuai, led tens of thousands of troops across the vast sea, and went straight to Yingcheng, the city of Quancheng. At this time, these two cities have fallen into the hands of our army. , Of course, including the piled up materials inside, the logistics of hundreds of thousands of troops entering Weizhou have been cut off, and there is no way back."

"After Hu Zequan got the news, he immediately ordered the front line, including your young marshal, to attack, but he himself was preparing to lead the main force to run away. I don't know where your young marshal got the news. Hahaha, he made a decisive decision and ran away immediately. Hu Zequan's flanks were exposed to us. Of course, as a reward, we didn't bother to chase him. As for how far Marshal Zeng can run and whether he can escape, it depends on his luck. Now the entire Weizhou, our army We have launched a full-scale counterattack, and we have won the account." Liu Jiang said proudly.

"Through the vast sea, to get the spring response directly? How is this possible?" He Ping murmured with a pale face.

"My lord has unpredictable abilities, what is this?"

He Ping lowered his head and muttered a few words to himself, then raised his head suddenly, "I know you are not lying to me?"

Liu Jiang smiled casually, "Brother He, I thought we were acquainted in the past, so I came to show you a clear way, otherwise, I could have set a trap at the mouth of Lianghe, lured you in and caught you all, why take the risk to come here So, if you don't believe me, you can send someone back to see if your young commander-in-chief is still there?"

Seeing Liu Jiang's calm face, He Ping believed it [-]% to [-]% in his heart.

"What do you mean?"

"General He is a veteran and fierce general. You can take the risk to attack Lianghekou. This courage is also appreciated by General Lu. Brother He, the situation in the world is now very clear. The Southern Army is finished. Your family is young. Shuai is about to die, does General He want to die with them?"

"You want me to surrender?"

"No, General He's coming here is not a surrender, but a surrender. It's an uprising before the battle. It's a surrender to the light. General He, as long as you are willing to come over and attack the Southern Army with us, I'm afraid there will be no you in the Jinluan Palace of my lord in the future." Is there a place for you?" Liu Jiang laughed out loud.

"A counterattack?" He Ping's face was bitter.

"That's right, General He. Now that the Southern Army is about to be defeated, if you take action right now, you will be able to take credit for it. You will wipe out the Southern Army and take the southern part of the Liaoshen Army. General He has a very high reputation in the Liaoshen Army. General He has to think carefully about where to go! If General He disregards the lives of your three thousand brothers and insists on being buried with Zeng Yifan, then I, Liu Jiang, have nothing to say."

"I'll think about it, I'll think about it!" He Ping slumped down on the mat, holding his head in his hands.

Liu Jiang clasped his hands together and said, "It is reasonable for General He to think about it, so Liu will leave first. I will wait for the good news at Lianghekou. If General He agrees with my proposal, please come to Lianghekou for a visit." Well, Liu will sweep the couch and take my leave."

Liu Jiang turned and left.

Seeing Liu Jiang's leaving back, the captain who had been waiting behind He Ping had a shocked expression on his face, "General He, is the other party trying to deceive us? Do we want it?"

He Ping shook his head, "This matter is very likely to be true. You don't need to go back to Xinling by sending a few sentries to investigate. You only need to check whether the Dingzhou Army is moving towards Changning. Judge whether what he said is true or false, if it is true, then we will be doomed."

"Yes, General!"

In Lianghekou, in Liujiang's camp, two thousand soldiers and horses were waiting in full formation, monitoring He Ping's three thousand lone army at Miaozui. In terms of morale, equipment, and combat power, Liu Jiang is sure to win.

Of course, if He Ping is willing to surrender, that would be the best, so that Liu Jiang can gather five thousand soldiers and monsters to start the next pursuit. Lu Dalin's task for him is to closely monitor He Ping's troops, but the next How could Liu Jiang not be excited by the pursuit of thousands of miles. If he can say Jiang Heping and the two work together, he can get more credit in the harvest battle of chasing and annihilating the Southern Army. Qianqian's basis, without military merit, is all in vain.

He Ping is not a reckless general, Liu Jiang believes that the other party will judge the situation and make a correct judgment.

In fact, Liu Jiang's judgment was also very correct. Two days later, He Ping led two or three cavalry guards and went straight to Lianghekou. Liu Jiang laughed when he got the news, "The big thing is done!"

After hearing Ji Tong's report, Guo Quan couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, Master Zeng is indeed a ruthless person, so we will attack Xiabaoping as he wished, and then go straight to Baima Mountain."

A school lieutenant next to him smiled and said: "General Guo, you go to attack Baoping, we go to attack Sifangyan, destroy these two supply points of the Southern Army, and make Hu Zequan worse. On the way back from Weizhou, it depends on How can he make it through without supplies, even if they arrive at Quancheng Yingcheng, they will be skinny and skinny, let alone fighting, I am afraid that we will not have the strength to leave."

Ji Tong looked at the captain strangely, he didn't know him, Guo Quan smiled and pointed at the captain to Ji Tong: "General Ji, this is Captain Wu Gui, an official sent by General Wei Xin to contact us Lieutenant Wu, go back and tell General Wei, I wish him all the best, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to catch the Southern Army for a while.”

Wu Gui said with a smile, "I'll take my leave then." He cupped his hands and left.

Looking at Wu Gui's back, Ji Tong asked strangely: "General Guo, him?" Ji Tong was a little surprised at this man's attitude, a school captain didn't show much respect to Guo Quan.

Guo Quan waved his hand and said: "You don't know him yet, his name is Wu Gui, Concubine Chang's younger brother, well, he still has a few talents, the future is bright, Ji Tong, he can make friends."

"The emperor's nobles!" Ji Tong laughed, "No wonder, no wonder!"

"General, how do we fight?"

A smile appeared on Guo Quan's face, "Originally, the lord meant that we should retreat to Dingzhou and contribute a little bit to fight Ningzhou in the future, but now it seems that this is not necessary. King Ning has already planned a retreat. Our The task has changed, and the Overwatch Council has sent a new order, and I will make unified arrangements when we arrive at Baima Mountain. Ji Tong, we are about to return to the Dingzhou Army lineup. After wandering outside for so long, are you a little excited?" Guo Quan smiled. He asked, "Oh, by the way, what happened to the guards who came with you?"

"I put them all in Zeng Chong's place."

Guo Quan nodded, "That's right, tell our people to keep an eye on Zeng Chong and these people until we reach Baima Mountain!" Guo Quan made a chopping gesture.

"Understood." Ji said.

"Order the whole army to attack, target, go down to Baoping!"
