Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 648 The Battle of Linzi (End)

A scuffle broke out in Linzi city.

It can also be said to be a pursuit battle. After all, the soldiers of the Qi army are fleeing towards the palace, while the soldiers of the Han army are chasing after them.

One-sided situation.

If the soldiers of the Qi army who ran slowly were caught up, if they did not drop their weapons and surrender, the only way to be beheaded was to kill them.

Chase all the way.

A lot of corpses were left behind, and there were also many captives.

Liu Qi also led the army to the front of the palace.

I see.

The huge imperial palace is not guarded by imperial troops, the gates of the imperial palace are wide open, and the splendid imperial palace is still brightly lit, but it looks a little quiet.

On the gate tower of the imperial palace, apart from the flags fluttering, there were no human figures.

at the same time.

When Liu Qi led the army to arrive.

There are many officials, eunuchs, maids, etc. rushing out of the passageway of the palace gate, wanting to leave the palace.

When the people in the front saw Liu Qi leading the army, they were also taken aback for a moment, and when they realized it, they wanted to turn around and leave.

Can these people think.

How could Liu Qi make it so easy for them, and he also wanted to know what happened.

Raise your hand.

A group of soldiers and horses quickly stepped forward, holding spears, and surrounded the group of officials, eunuchs, court ladies and others, preventing them from leaving.

"Emperor Han, please forgive me~!"

See can't leave.

The group of officials and others knelt down one after another in order to save their lives.

but.

Liu Qi ignored them, frowned, and said, "Meng Qi, Ling Ming!"

"Your servants take orders!" Ma Chao and Pang De also cupped their hands.

Immediately, the two set up a troop and headed towards the gate of the palace.

When Liu Qi called them, they knew Liu Qi's intention, which was to investigate the situation of the palace.

Waiting for Ma Chao and Pang De to lead a troop into the palace to investigate.

Liu Qi pulled the rein of the horse and rode towards the surrounded officials and others.

Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong followed closely behind, guarding Liu Qi's left and right sides. Although they were just some officials and others, they were not necessarily in danger, let alone in such an unknown situation.

The soldiers of the Han army who surrounded the officials saw Liu Qi and the others coming on horseback, and opened a passage for Liu Qi and the others to enter.

I saw Liu Qi and others coming over.

"Han Emperor, please forgive me, I am willing to surrender~!"

After finishing speaking, he put his head on the ground, not daring to lift it up. After all, their lives are now in Liu Qi's hands.

Ride to these fronts.

Liu Qi glanced at these people, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Where did Emperor Qi go? And what's going on here?"

Hearing Liu Qi's question.

The surrounded officials and others also fell silent.

Immediately, an official who seemed to be the highest position in this group of people raised his head, cupped his hands and said: "Back to Emperor Han, after the change in the direction of the city gate, when General Guan and others came to the palace, Liu Bei was in front of the [-] imperial guards." Under his escort, he escaped from the city with many family members and headed west."

He didn't hide anything, and reported the truth to Liu Qi. This was all the news he learned from the eunuch after he arrived.

Now, he also has anger in his heart.

Liu Bei fled without notifying them. They were just abandoned sons.

Originally, after they learned about the situation in the direction of the city gate, they gathered together and rushed towards the palace to see how Liu Bei would respond.

It is an undeniable fact that they are all courtiers of Qi.

however.

But they didn't expect that when they came to the palace, they found that Liu Bei had fled with his family and was not in the palace.

Those who remained in the palace were only some eunuchs, court ladies, and some concubines who were dispensable to Liu Bei, and these people were also preparing to flee.

see this situation.

How could they not know what happened, but they still had some prayers in their hearts, so they pulled some eunuchs and maids to ask.

I pray that Liu Bei will lead his army to fight against the Han army.

The answer they could get was to extinguish the prayers in their hearts.

Get the truth.

They were about to leave the palace and make plans again.

Just after stepping out of the palace gate, they met Liu Qi who was leading the army and were surrounded by groups, and they alone could not break through Liu Qi's army and retreat back to the palace, they just delayed the time to be arrested.

Facing a dilemma, he had no choice but to surrender in order to save his life.

heard.

Liu Qi's eyes flickered.

But he didn't expect Liu Bei to be so decisive. When they took down a city gate and were still fighting, they fled directly.

It also caught him off guard.

At this time.

Ma Chao and Pound also came out from the passage of the city gate.

Came in front of Liu Qi.

"Your Majesty, there is no trace of Emperor Qi found in the palace, and there are also traces of transportation in the treasury!" Ma Chao clasped his hands.

Ma Chao's words also proved the words of the Qi official.

escape?
Liu Qi frowned.

This is not what he wants. After all, Liu Bei is still alive, even if Linzi City has been captured, he will not feel at ease.

The only thing that can make people feel at ease is the dead.

That is the most reassuring.

"Take them into custody! Gather all the cavalry and follow me to pursue them!" Liu Qi ordered.

Although Liu Bei has escaped for a while, it is not impossible to catch up, and there is still a chance.

What's more, since they are all cavalry, the speed of pursuit will be much faster.

"promise!"

Zhao Yun and others did not raise any objections.

immediately.

These Qi officials and others were also arrested and taken care of.

Moreover, Liu Qi sent a soldier to let Guo Jia and Pang Tong enter the city. After all, they captured Linzi City. Now that he is chasing Liu Bei, someone needs to be in charge of the city, so that the situation in Linzi can be stabilized.

And Guo Jia and Pang Tong are the most suitable candidates.

With the ability of the two of them, it is enough to handle the takeover matters after the capture of Linzi City, and stabilize the chaotic situation in Linzi City.

Moreover, Liu Bei and others have already fled Linzi City, leaving only some defenders fleeing everywhere, leaving only all the infantry, and several generals Wenpin, Liao Hua, and Mi Fang, which are enough to calm down the affairs of the Qi army in Linzi.

in this way.

Liu Qi didn't have any worries, took Zhao Yun and others, and led all the cavalry to chase in the direction where Liu Bei and others fled.

He wanted to rely on the speed of the cavalry to chase Liu Bei and others.

It has reached the current point, if Liu Bei is allowed to escape again, it is not what he wants.

A group of people rode war horses and galloped towards the west.

Liu Bei, who escaped from Linzi City, was his ultimate goal.
