Chapter 216
Thick clouds covered the stars in the sky.

A group of people sneaked in the moonlight.

This is the third night that the Jijia Army has launched an offensive.

"Ji's army is here..."

The scout leisurely came over to report.

"Come here, I can't walk anymore, anyway, they are just bluffing cowards, and they don't dare to fight us at all."

A soldier replied lazily.

Others also did not move.

Ever since, when Ji's army approached them, their necks were smeared with cold knives, and fresh blood flowed out, the soldiers of the king of Shu were still in a daze.

"Ah...they, they are serious, everyone copy the guys."

Someone yelled.

However, it's too late.

After being harassed for three days and three nights in a row, coupled with their hungry stomachs, these people had almost no strength to resist when they faced the Ji family army who were also soldiers.

Within half an hour, two-thirds of the entire King of Shu's army was wiped out.

Li Wei, Yan Shuo and others surrounded the King of Shu, staring at Ji Jiajun angrily and with hatred.

"kill----"

Du Shan gave an order, and the men of Ji's army ran over quickly, brandishing big knives.

"kill----"

Li Wei, Yan Shuo and others went up to meet them.

However, the strength and strength of the two sides are not at the same level. Except for a few generals with better physical strength and martial arts, almost all the others were injured, disabled, and died by Ji's army.

Seeing more and more Ji family troops encircling him, Li Wei looked at King Shu, "Your Majesty, we have no choice but to retreat."

Hundreds of people surrounded the king of Shu, looking for a place to escape.

Suddenly, Li Wei observed a gap.

"My lord, let's go this way."

Yan Shuo felt it was inappropriate, but he had no time to think about it when faced with the menacing Ji family army.

"General, King Shu and the others ran towards the gap."

The soldiers said anxiously.

Du Shan smiled, "Let them run."

"But the general..."

"Hmph, they ran in, so don't even think about getting out alive."

"General means..."

"oops."

The King of Shu and others who fled into the forest through the gap were suddenly thrown up.

Immediately afterwards, arrows flew like a shower of flowers.

Li Wei and Yan Shuo quickly drew their swords and cut the big net that fell on them.

"My lord, be careful..."

The king of Shu was supported by Li Wei and fell to the ground. Hearing the screams of other soldiers, he suppressed the violent veins on his forehead.

But for a while, there are only dozens of them left here.

"My lord forgives my sins, I deserve to die, but I actually brought my lord into the enemy's trap."

The King of Shu waved his hand, "Even if we don't come here, surrounded by Du Shan's people outside, we can't fly without wings."

"The king of Shu has the foresight."

Voices came from not far away.

Everyone looked over and saw Ji Li in armor sitting on his horse with a blank expression on his face.

"It's you."

Li Wei gritted his teeth.

Ji Li narrowed his eyes, "Yes, it's me."

"Hmph, you are the defeated general. You are just relying on your strength. How can you be my opponent?"

Li Wei said disdainfully.

Ji Li sneered, "Then you can give it a try."

Binghan's sword comes out of its sheath, and Ji Li and Li Wei fight.

"Come on, everyone, the king of Shu is right in front of you, take his head, and we can return to Beijing to return to our lives."

"kill----"

.........

"Ping, what do you think is going on now?"

Fang Dalin and Dong Ping stood by the river, looking at the fog on the river.

Dong Ping curled his lips, "The outcome is decided."

.........

"You think I'm still the same person I was two years ago."

The cold sword lay across Li Wei's neck, and Ji Li's eyes were cold.

"It really wasn't Wu Xia Amon."

Ji Li crippled his right arm and handed it over to other soldiers to guard.

On the other side, the King of Shu and others have been arrested.

"General..." Someone came over to ask for instructions.

Ji Li said loudly: "Ming Jin withdraws troops."

Everyone looked excited, "Yes, General."

"Winner and loser, since I lost, you just kill me."

The king of Shu widened his eyes and roared.

Ji Li turned around and glanced at him coldly, "We'll have to wait until the emperor comes to give us an order, and bring them back to the camp and keep them under strict guard."

.........

"Haha, Marshal, this battle was really fun, fun." In the marshal's big tent, Du Shan said excitedly.

"Yes, Marshal, not only that, but we also captured the King of Shu and others alive."

"Now I can go back to the court and return to my life, haha..."

"Speaking of it, this is still a good strategy of General Ji. If it wasn't for General Ji, we wouldn't have been able to arrest the King of Shu and others so quickly."

Ji Li looked at everyone, "I didn't get the original idea."

"Not General Ji?"

Several people looked at each other, "May I ask General Ji, who came up with this idea?"

"...Dr. Dong, I didn't expect that you are not only good at medicine, but also good at strategy."

After the injured soldier heard about it from others, he admired Dong Ping very much.

Dong Ping smiled, "Actually, that wasn't my idea either."

"It wasn't your idea? But the general said that it was your idea to burn the food and grass of the king of Shu and others from the river, and destroy the ice when they came back."

Dong Ping shook his head, but did not explain.

The original source of this idea was Tong Zhi'er.

That year, there was a lot of snow in Qingzhou City, and the stone mill outside their house was covered with thick ice, which made it impossible to make tofu.Tong Zhi'er put the salt into hot water and sprinkled it on the stone mill. After a while, the thick layer of ice on the stone mill melted.

For a while, he went to the riverside to observe every day, first to observe the thickness of the ice layer and test the weight it could bear, and second, to sprinkle hot water with salt on it to see how long it would take for the ice layer to heal. will melt.

"Come on, I'm going to pull out the arrow inside for you, please bear with it."

"Hee hee, manly man, bleeding but not tears, this little pain is nothing, Doctor Dong, just come..."

The great victory in Shiyi, the news that the king of Shu was arrested, was rushed back to the imperial city by Babaili.

The emperor was overjoyed, and immediately announced it to the world. At the same time, he ordered Ji Chang to lead all the soldiers to return to the court, and he would personally reward him.

In addition, in this battle, Dong Ping, who made a lot of contributions, also received a reward.

The news gradually spread from the capital to the entire empire, and finally reached Qingzhou a day later.

"Father, mother, eldest sister, second sister, third sister..."

Hearing Tong Zhaofu's voice, the family came out quickly.

In the main room, the little Tong Zhaofu looked excited.

"Afu, what's wrong?"

Tong Zhier asked her curiously.

"Second Sister, the battle has been won. Marshal Ji has won. Uncle, brother-in-law and cousin are all coming back."

"Ah Fu, is what you said true?"

Tong Duo'er asked him in disbelief.

"Sister, it's true. The emperor personally issued an edict to announce to the people all over the world. I just saw the edict in Qingzhou, so I'll come back and tell you."

"Your brother-in-law is coming back, he is really coming back, great, great..."

"I'll go and tell your second uncle and aunt the news."

Tong Zhixin turned and walked outside.

.........

A wobbly month has passed.

Ji Chang led the soldiers and finally arrived at the outskirts of the capital.

"Marshal Ji, all generals."

A high-pitched eunuch's voice came, and Ji Chang quickly walked over.

"Eunuch Hu, why is it you?"

Eunuch Hu narrowed his eyes with a smile, "The emperor learned that Marshal Ji and others arrived here today, so he asked the miscellaneous family to welcome them here. The emperor is already waiting for you at the gate of the palace. Marshal Ji, please..."

Ji Chang nodded, turned around, and said loudly: "All officers and men listen to the order and speed up."

"Yes, Marshal."

A mighty team entered the city.

Along the way, there are people lining the road to welcome people, and at the end of the road, there are hundreds of civil and military officials led by today's emperor.

Ji Chang and others dismounted from their horses and knelt on the ground, "I have seen the emperor at last, long live my emperor, long live long live long live."

"Ai Qing, get up quickly."

The emperor stepped forward and pulled Ji Chang up.

"You are all good boys of my court, I will definitely reward you a lot, so get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Marshal Ji, the three of you, father and son, have won a complete victory this time, and I feel relieved."

"This is all thanks to the great blessing of the emperor."

"Okay, well said, Aiqing, go to the Jinluan Palace with me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The majestic palace with green tiles and red walls.

After an absence of six years, the King of Shu came back here again, but this time he was in a prison cart.

"Bring him out, the emperor will interrogate him in front of all civil and military officials."

"Yes, Eunuch Hu."

"Rebellious officials and thieves..."

"So cruel..."

"The emperor must kill him."

The king of Shu was indignant at the courtiers' comments, but he didn't mind, and looked straight at the man on the dragon chair.

"King of Shu, I think I treat you kindly, why did you rebel, causing blood to flow like rivers, and people living in dire straits?"

"Do you treat me well?"

The king of Shu snorted coldly, and stared at the high-ranking emperor with a gloomy expression, "You sent me to that poor village, is that treating me well? If you can't become the master of the world, what's the point of living on meddles? If you really Treat me well, I shouldn't have competed with me for the throne in the first place. The person on the dragon chair deserves to be killed by me."

"Presumptuous! King Shu, how dare you be so disrespectful to the emperor."

The king of Shu looked at the minister who spoke disdainfully, "This king has rebelled, so what respect do you have for him?"

"you………"

"Master Wu, you step back first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at the king of Shu who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed: "At the beginning, I didn't want to compete with you for the throne. It's just that you are too cruel. If you were a king, the whole world would be burned."

"Excuse!"

Being contradicted and disrespected by the king of Shu again and again, the emperor who is used to being the emperor and the emperor who is used to controlling him is also angry.

"Come on, the king of Shu rebelled, causing the people to live in dire straits, and their lives were devastated. If I don't kill him, how will I explain to these dead people. Put the king of Shu into the prison, and three days later, behead him to show the world."

"Emperor Shengming."
