Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 649

Time passed slowly.

In the pitch black night, light gradually appeared.

In the eastern sky, there is a faint white light rising, and the black sky is always black, and now there is more white, mixed in it.

It is the scene of dawn.

Ten miles to the west of Linzi City, there was a cavalry standing here, and there were still traces of fighting around, and there were many soldiers in armor lying motionless on the ground.

Some flag weapons, etc., were scattered everywhere.

It is obvious that after a great war, it has not been long.

Except for a few soldiers in red and black armor, the cavalry that can still move are almost all soldiers in black and black armor, and the flags that are still flying are all black flags.

This cavalry is exactly the troops of the Han army.

Led by Liu Qi himself, he pursued westward from the city of Linzi, trying to kill the cavalry troops left behind by Liu Bei who had escaped from the city of Linzi.

"Your Majesty, do you want to continue the pursuit?" Zhao Yun stepped forward and asked.

Liu Qi glanced around, and said: "No need, Emperor Qi came out ahead of our army, and experienced two waves of interception along the way, plus a night of fighting, the soldiers are also a little tired!"

"Let the soldiers clean up the battlefield, take a short rest, and return to Linzi first, wait for the news, and then make plans!"

It's not that he doesn't want to continue chasing, but now he doesn't know Liu Bei's whereabouts, and he doesn't know where to pursue him.

Moreover, in the process of pursuing, the interception encountered was obviously sent by Liu Bei to delay the time, so as to fight for the opportunity to escape.

Because of this, they wasted a lot of time in order to eliminate the obstruction. Liu Bei gradually moved away. It was a very difficult thing to catch up, so there was no need to continue chasing.

There is no need to do things that are meaningless.

"No!" Zhao Yun cupped his hands.

He has no objection to Liu Qi's arrangement. After all, he also feels that he can't catch up with the escaped Liu Bei. If he continues to chase, it's not impossible, but there will be no results.

If you continue to chase, you may hurt the root, not to mention the state of the soldiers, just like this, this batch of war horses may be destroyed directly.

That's not worth the candle.

immediately.

Zhao Yun and the others also followed Liu Qi's instructions and asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and take a short rest.

……

The sky gradually brightened up.

Rays shot out from the eastern sky, illuminating the earth, and the slowly rising sun also revealed its face.

After resting here, Liu Qi led the cavalry and retreated towards the way he came.

Liu Bei escaped, that has become a fact.

However, that was just a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't last long. Now Qingzhou can be said to have completely fallen into his hands, and Liu Bei can't escape very far when he escapes from Linzi City.

What's more, there are not many soldiers and horses left by Liu Bei now, only tens of thousands. When the affairs of Linzi City are handled and the place where Liu Bei stays is found, he can fight and take it down. A hidden danger.

A group of people hurried back to Linzi City without any haste.

After some time.

Liu Qi led the cavalry and rushed back to Linzi City.

Today's Linzi City has also undergone changes. The blue flags on the city walls have disappeared, replaced by black flags.

The guards on the city wall were also replaced by Han soldiers in black clothes and armor.

After all, in the battle last night, the Han army completely occupied Linzi City. It is normal that the defense has changed, but things in the city have not changed much.

You know, they just occupied Linzi City and seized Liu Bei's territory, not planning to destroy the city or anything.

Back to Linzi city.

Liu Qi asked all the cavalry to repair, and then took Zhao Yun and others to the palace. The Qi Palace where Liu Bei lived was now his spoils of war.

Take a rest and eat something.

Liu Qi also summoned everyone to discuss matters in the main hall.

The city of Linzi was captured, Liu Bei fled, and the state of Qi could be said to exist in name only, and the rest was how to integrate the land of Qingzhou.

Even so, Liu Bei and others, who are important figures in the Qi State, have not won, and they cannot be completely relieved.

Cut grass without eradicating its roots, but the spring breeze blows and grows again!
For this reason, he can still understand that Liu Bei is still in Qingzhou, and he still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands.

If it is not dealt with completely and Liu Bei is hidden in Qingzhou, there is no guarantee that there will be no more accidents. Only by removing it directly can he truly feel at ease.

In that way, even if you lead the army back to aid other places, you will not have any worries.

After all, accidents in the rear are the most dangerous.

"How is the situation in Linzi City?" Liu Qi asked while sitting on the dragon chair.

The dragon chair that originally belonged to Liu Bei, the place where the court meeting was held, was also used by Liu Qi.

"Return to Your Majesty, now Linzi City is basically in the hands of our army, and the people in the city have not acted excessively!" Guo Jia stood up and cupped his hands.

Immediately afterwards, he spoke about taking over the city, as well as matters such as captives and harvest.

Without any concealment, he said it out one by one. After all, he and Pang Tong handled the arrangements for taking over the city, and Liu Qi personally led many generals and all the cavalry in the army to pursue the escaped Liu Bei.

And these are things that need to be reported to Liu Qi.

"That's great!" Liu Qi nodded.

Regarding Guo Jia's ability, he is still very clear, taking over a city is not a problem at all.

If there was a problem, it would be a surprise to him.

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, what should we do with the captured officials?"

heard.

Liu Qi pondered for a while, and said: "According to the previous method, if you want to submit, you can stay, and if you don't want to, let them go. Of course, find out whether they have committed any crimes. !"

"No!" Guo Jia answered with cupped hands.

The rest of the people didn't feel any surprise when they heard Liu Qi's arrangement. You must know that they have always done this way.

Liu Qi glanced at the crowd, and said: "Although the imperial capital of the Qi Kingdom has been taken down, the Qi Emperor is still fleeing, and sent a spy report to find out where the Qi Emperor is!"

"And clean up the remnants of the Qi army in Qingzhou. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

Now apart from looking for Liu Bei's whereabouts, the rest is to clean up the forces in Qingzhou and completely control the entire land of Qingzhou.

"promise!"

In this regard, everyone did not have any objections.

"So let's go down and make arrangements. If there is any whereabouts of Emperor Qi, report it immediately and get rid of him!" Liu Qi ordered with a flash of his eyes.
