Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 96 He Can't Run!

Gao Jie has rich combat experience. Although he didn't know the specific battle situation on Hu Maozhen's side, when he approached the imperial camp, the sound of gunfire suddenly disappeared, and the shouts of killing could not be heard. He judged by his feeling that Hu Maozhen should be a murderer. Dorje was missing, so he temporarily changed the order. Practice has proved that he is wise.

At this time, there were still a thousand people around, and under the night, more than 1000 black shadows were rushing like snakes towards the northeast of the dense hills and forests...

As soon as Gao Jie and the others ran out of the two miles, the two lines of pursuers behind them merged together.The 1 troops of Zu Hai and Li Quan arrived from the imperial camp along the way, and the troops of Xu and Liang, the two chief soldiers, arrived on the other side.

"What's going on?" Zu Hai and Li Quan asked the two general officers when they saw that one of their faces had been condensed into an iron block and the other into a purple eggplant.

Countless torches shone like daylight, and the faces of the two general officers turned ashen gray, and they quickly knelt down, "The last general is incompetent..." General Xu and Liang briefly recounted what happened, and finally He begged, "My lords, spare your lives. I am willing to take the blame and do meritorious service, and I will definitely bring Gao Jie back."

Zu Hai was furious, and swung a knife to kill them both, but was stopped by Li Quan, and said to the Second Commander: "It's useless, don't hurry up and chase after it, if you run away from the thief chieftain Gao Jie, you will ruin the big event of the Lord, read this book." Thousands of households are not alive!" Wait a minute!"

The two generals Xu and Liang were originally Huang Degong's subordinates. After being reorganized, they followed Zhu Yousong to the expedition this time. No matter how he was the general soldier in the past, he is now regarded as the general soldier approved by Zhu Yousong. There are 600 guards in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of official ranks, Zu Hai and Li Quan are not necessarily higher than these two general officers.

But Zu Hai is in command of Jin Yiwei, and Li Quan is in charge of Qianhu in Dongchang. At this time, the two of them still represent the factory guard. The power of the factory guard is too great. They can intervene in any imperial case, up to Sangong, down to Xun Qi, can kill first and then play at critical moments, or even not play. People and horses, so it is not an exaggeration for the two to say this. It is a matter of minutes to cut off the heads of the two general soldiers.

The faces of the two commander-in-chiefs turned pale, and the rest of the generals also shook their clothes to fight. After listening to Li Quan's instructions, they were obedient, and after kowtowing, the two generals Xu and Liang got up and chased them down with their subordinates. Zu Hai and Li Quan Together with them, a total of 2 horses launched a net-like pursuit.

Twenty minutes later, Zu Hai and Li Quan's troops really caught up with Gao Jie's soldiers. Naturally, a fight was inevitable, but these people refused to surrender, some stayed behind, and the other continued to run wildly. Half an hour later, Gao Jie's remnant left behind a body, and the rest got into the lush forest on the hillside.

Zu Hai and Li Quan led 2 people to surround this piece of hills and lush forests, then carried out a carpet search, and beheaded hundreds of people. The remaining 300 people were desperate and finally became prisoners. It was daylight.

But there was no sign of Gao Jie. After interrogating the prisoners, it was found that Gao Jie disguised himself as an ordinary soldier and fled. The second general identified Gao Jie one by one. Among the more than 300 prisoners, he checked the corpses along the way. Gao Jie only found the bodies of his chief soldier Hu Linyi and several generals, side generals, and junior generals.

Obviously Gao Jie has run away!

Zu Hai was furious, and wanted to kill all the more than 300 captives, Li Quan stopped him again, "Brother Zu can't do it, the emperor has an order, those who surrender will not die, and the emperor will blame you and me for killing the captives indiscriminately." Sorry."

"Well——" Zu Hai let out a heavy breath, and turned his eyes like buns to the two general soldiers, "Damn it, it's all your fault, 1 horses can't trap these few birds People, I have scratched you!"

The two generals were so frightened that they all knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy, Li Quan stopped Zu Hai again, although killing the two generals was not wronged at all, but the two generals were officials ordered by the court after all , and Huang Degong's old department, it's better to leave it to the emperor, Zu Hai agreed, and finally they tied up the two general soldiers, Zu Hai and Li Quan also ordered the soldiers to tie themselves up, and escorted the three hundred Many prisoners met with Zhu Yousong to plead guilty.

Zhu Yousong really took a nap in the imperial camp. When Zu Hai, Li Quan, and the two general soldiers who were tied with ropes knelt down in front of Zhu Yousong and begged for sins, Zhu Yousong was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, he secretly thought that Gao Jie was indeed a rogue. Not only was he good at picking up girls and leading soldiers in battle, but he was also good at escaping. Being able to successfully escape from the shell under the siege and pursuit of thousands of troops was considered a talent.

But this kind of talent must not be kept, even if he surrenders, he cannot be spared, not to mention the crimes he committed in Xu Si and Yangzhou, but this alone is hard to forgive, even the wife of the boss dares to forgive him. Guai, moral character is not generally bad, a person can be without talent, but he must not be without virtue, fortunately, he saved a hand.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong smiled lightly, and ordered someone to loosen the ropes of the four generals, "Qing and others fought all night, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, so what is the crime? Gao Jie is notoriously tough and cunning. You can't blame it all, get up."

"Thank you for your kindness... But my lord, Gao Jie has escaped..." Zu Hai and the others were grateful for the emperor's benevolence, but they still didn't dare to stand up. They also know now that Gao Jie was surrounded by soldiers but not wiped out, and it was Xu Sizhi who was planning for His Majesty Bing, now that Gao Jie has run away, isn't it just a waste of all previous efforts, His Majesty just finished it lightly?

"Hmph, he can't run away!" Zhu Yousong sneered and looked in the direction of Sizhou, Cheng Zhu said in his chest, "Gao Jie must be missing his wife... Li Quan, I will give you 1 horses to clean up the battlefield and organize the prisoners, including The wounded barracks, as well as some supplies, food, grass and other trophies, are all here for you. Your burden is not light. These captive soldiers are not less than [-]. They must not be taken lightly. The soldiers who have finished their work will return to Fengyang. Where will I be? Congratulations to you."

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm sure you'll be foolproof." Only then did Li Quan remember that his old master Zheng Hongkui was still waiting for orders near Sizhou with two horses, and secretly sighed that his Majesty used his troops like a god, without leaking water.

Li Quan was quick-witted and skillful, he was quick to step and step down, he was a great general, Zhu Yousong was very optimistic about him, so he entrusted him with important tasks.

Zhu Yousong nodded, and looked at Zu Hai again, "After eating and fighting, Qing took the rest of the troops and went to Sizhou with me."

"According to the order."

At about 1 o'clock in the morning, Zhu Yousong left the hills of Yizhen with his [-] imperial battalion under the protection of more than [-] generals in Zuhai, and headed towards Sizhou.
