Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Du fell into despair completely, and even when someone dragged him out, he was dumbfounded and did not resist.

After accepting Gan Ning, Li Yi didn't hold a banquet or do anything, because Xu Huang had sent hundreds of letters into Yi County to persuade him to surrender. Li Yi only talked about it and started preparing The coming war.

In the afternoon, after the whole army had eaten, a simple wooden platform was set up in the open space in front of Li Yi's army, and Liu Du was tied to it, with knives and axes standing on the left and right. At the same time, Li Yi sent a message to the city, saying It was Liu Du who had been captured alive by him. If Liu Xian wanted his father to live, he would exchange Xing Daorong's head, and if Xing Daorong wanted to save his own life after the city was broken, he would exchange Liu Xian's life.

Li Yi's conditions are very shameless, but now he has an absolute advantage, and Liu Du is the party who made trouble, so naturally there is no pressure to use it.

After the news came out, Li Yi's army began to line up slowly under the dispatch of Xu Huang, Guo Jia and others. After a while, there was a commotion in Yi County City. It seemed that someone had internal strife. Someone on Li Yi's side It was suggested that Li Yi send troops to test it, but Li Yi did not agree.

There is an isolated city on the left and right, and Li Yiquan doesn't bother to care whether he is really in civil strife or deliberately luring the enemy.

About half an hour later, the flag on the head of Yixian County was lowered for some reason, and then the city gate opened slowly, and a general in silver armor rode out. Behind him, there were about two thousand soldiers who rushed out. When Li Yi shot two arrows away, he stopped.

After a slight pause, General Yinjia turned around and didn't know what to say, so he rode forward, stopped in front of Li Yi's formation, and said loudly: "Dare to ask where Li Xianghou is!"

Li Yi squinted his eyes and saw that he was very tall and strong, and he looked like a brave general, but Li Yi didn't mean to answer, not to mention the difference in status between the two, even if he came here directly, he didn't take the initiative to give his name Reporting his surname, but asking where he is first, wouldn't it be a loss of face if Li Yi agreed in this situation?

Guo Jia at the side hinted at Dian Wei, and Dian Wei immediately shouted: "Who is coming, report your name quickly!"

The silver-armored general had actually seen Li Yi, and seeing that Li Yi ignored him, although he was secretly angry, he had no choice but to look at Dian Wei again, secretly thinking that he was a good general, then took a deep breath and spoke loudly. Said: "I am Xing Daorong, the general under Liu Taishou, and I hope to have a story with Xianghou!"

"Cough cough."

Li Yi in the back couldn't help coughing, because when he heard the words Xing Daorong, the phrase "Say my name will scare you" subconsciously popped up in his mind, but it's a pity that this real version of Xing Daorong seems It wasn't very arrogant, which made him feel a little regretful.

Li Yi became interested in talking, so he raised his whip and said, "Xing Daorong, if you are willing to surrender now, I can keep your official position unchanged, and maybe you can continue to lead the army, how about it?"

Hearing this, Xing Daorong took a few steps forward and got closer to Li Yi. He looked at Li Yi for a while, then sighed, and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but even though Xing is a martial artist, he also knows that loyal ministers are not good. I hope that Marquis Xiang will forgive me for the reason of the second master."

Li Yi nodded lightly, without saying anything, Xing Daorong's reaction was within his expectations, otherwise, if Xing Daorong wanted to surrender, he would have surrendered long ago.

Li Yi didn't make a sound, Xing Daorong continued: "Xing knows that the army in the city is in chaos and it is difficult to hold on. If Xianghou's army attacks the city, I will die. Therefore, those who are willing to surrender to Xianghou in the army, now They have all stayed in the city, and behind Xingmou are all people who are willing to die for Liu Taishou!"

Xing Daorong said, pointing to the back, and saw that although the soldiers did not dare to say that they all regarded death as home, they did not show any obvious intention of retreating in the face of Li Yi's army, which was tens of times larger.

Li Yi couldn't help flashing a hint of appreciation, and then frowned, and said a few words to Xu Huang in a low voice, Xu Huang should be, so he stepped back and made arrangements.

Xing Daorong raised his voice, and said: "Although Xing has few soldiers, he is a man who dares to die. If he fights hard, the soldiers and horses of Marquis Xiang will be damaged to some extent. I have heard that Marquis Xiang is kind, and I can't bear to see people die. Therefore, Xing took the liberty to beg the Marquis of Xiang to release the prefect Liu, as long as the Marquis of Xiang agrees, I am willing to lay down my weapons and fight or kill, it is all up to the Marquis of Xiang!"

Xing Daorong's words were commendable, but Li Yi sighed and didn't answer him, but asked, "Where is Liu Xian, where is he now?"

Xing Daorong froze, and then said to the city behind: "My lord knows that he is no match for the Marquis of Xiang, so before Xing Mou sent troops, he set fire to himself!"

Li Yi followed Xing Daorong's gaze, and he saw smoke floating above the city, but he shook his head slightly, completely disbelieving Xing Daorong's words.

Not to mention that Liu Du is so cowardly, the probability of his son being bloody is not high. At this moment, Xing Daorong is willing to surrender in exchange for Liu Du. Since Liu Xian has the courage to self-immolate, then he should also stand up and exchange Liu Du.

Li Yizheng thought of this, and Guo Jia whispered: "Master, Xing Daorong is probably wasting time, and then let Liu Xian take the opportunity to escape!"

In fact, Li Yi also thought of this, and immediately ordered: "Send an additional [-] troops to the other three gates, no matter who you see coming out of the city, no matter men, women, young or old, take them all!"

Guo Jia responded, "Here!"

On the opposite side, Xing Daorong saw that Li Yi ignored him, so he asked again: "I don't know what Xianghou wants!"

Li Yi ignored it, but looked at Xu Huang, Xu Huang cupped his hands and said, "My lord, everything has been arranged!"

Li Yi nodded, then tugged at the reins, and led the people back. Xing Daorong was wondering when he saw this, and saw a wooden platform in front of Li Yi's men and horses, and several people on it The man with the sword and ax was pressing down on a person, it was Liu Du!

Seeing this, Xing Daorong couldn't help being shocked, and shouted: "My lord!"

Liu Du wanted to raise his head to look towards Xing Daorong, but he didn't expect that the swordsman would cut it down without saying a word. Liu Du's big head fell to the ground immediately, and the blood spurted three feet away.

"what!"

Xing Daorong didn't expect this either, he just felt pain in his heart, he shouted, and almost fell off the horse, when he managed to stabilize his body, he rushed forward without thinking, with a hideous face, shouting in his mouth : "Li Yi, I swear to kill you!"

When Xing Daorong rushed, the two thousand soldiers and horses behind him also rushed forward with him, but just after Xing Daorong rushed far, he saw a rain of arrows from the direction of the army formation behind the wooden platform to cover his head. Fortunately, Xing Daorong is not bad at martial arts, so he turned over and rolled off his horse. Relying on his nimble steps, while avoiding the rain of arrows, he rushed to the wooden platform. He wanted to snatch Liu Du's body back.

Seeing Xing Daorong running towards this side, several knife and axemen dropped their weapons and turned around. Xing Daorong ignored them, picked up Liu Du's head with tears in his eyes, and went to pick up Liu Du's body again, but he Just as he was about to step on the wooden platform, his feet tightened, followed by a strong force, which directly knocked him to the ground!

"Where is the Xiaoxiao sneaking attack!"

Xing Daorong yelled and slashed at his feet with his saber, but only heard a sound. The saber was blocked by a young general, and then he saw more than ten men coming out from under the wooden platform, each holding a long gun. , Qi Qi stabbed at him.

Xing Daorong was shocked and wanted to dodge immediately, but the young general slashed at his legs with a backhand knife, Xing Daorong had no choice but to block with his knife, and within this delay, several long spears stabbed Xing Daorong Xing Daorong's body trembled, and he opened his mouth to scold, but he was stabbed by several long spears, so Xing Daorong fell to the ground with his weapon, his eyes were dilated, blood gushed out of his mouth, and his whole body was completely paralyzed.

"Congratulations to the general!"

A soldier congratulated Huo Jun and wanted to cut Daorong's head with a knife, but Huo Jun said, "Wait a minute!"

The soldiers were puzzled, and saw Huo Jun stepping forward, looking at Xing Daorong and saying: "This is not a credit, it is all due to the love of the lord, if someone else can kill him, and the lord said, this person is still loyal. , It's a pity that I followed the wrong person, so let's keep his whole body, and stay together with Liu Du's body later."

After hearing Huo Jun's words, Xing Daorong swallowed his last breath and closed his eyes completely.

Seeing this, Huo Jun shook his head, and then looked forward. The soldiers and horses led by Xing Daorong over there had already rushed to the front of the formation. However, there were only two thousand of them, and there were as many as Li Yi's bowmen alone. Five thousand, after two rounds of arrow rain, there have been heavy casualties, and now they have lost their leader. A few people continue to advance, and most have begun to retreat. It is a mess, and the destruction is in an instant.

"Stay here, I will report to the lord!"

After Huo Jun finished speaking, he walked back, passed through the shield formation, and soon found Li Yi, and stepped forward and said: "My lord, Xing Daorong is dead, and the general will come back!"

"Very well, I will record a merit for you."

Li Yi patted Huo Jun on the shoulder encouragingly. In fact, whether it was Xu Huang Dianwei, Huang Zhongwei Yan, or even Gan Ning who just arrived, they all accepted the task of beheading Xing Daorong. After all, this was the only one in Jingnan. However, Li Yi handed over this task to Huo Jun.

Huo Jun has been with Li Yi for a long time, and he has always done his duty, but because he is too duty-bound, he has always had the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Let this honest man be more honest and work hard in the future.

Chapter 452

Huo Jun had just finished speaking, and another scout quickly came to report, saying: "My lord, just now the west gate of the city was opened, and a group of more than a hundred people left the city and went west. I will order them to stop, but the other party will not follow." They fled back, so we shot arrows to stop them, and the leader of the other party fell off his horse and died after being identified, it was Liu Xian!"

"it is good!"

Li Yi responded, then looked to the left and right, smiled and said: "Everyone, Jingnan has been settled!"

Everyone also showed smiles. Although the contribution of the Jingnan campaign is a bit shabby, the fundamental purpose of sending troops has been successfully achieved. Li Yi not only suffered minimal damage, but also recruited a few talents along the way. It is very gratifying no matter how you look at it the result of.

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord sent troops to Jingnan, where the local officials rushed to surrender, but within a month or so, they recovered the four counties in Jingnan. It can be seen that the lord is famous and let the world admire him!"

Kuai Yue said: "The four counties in Jingnan are pacified, all thanks to the lord!"

Xu Huang, Wei Yan and others also congratulated: "Congratulations, my lord, Jingnan is pacified!"

Hearing the compliments from the crowd, Li Yi had a great heart, laughed, and then waved his hands modestly and said: "I have only two fists and two feet, how can I fix Jingnan? It all depends on the concerted efforts of all of you, and the bravery of the soldiers of the three armies." yes!"

Li Yi knew very well that he also needed credit as the lord. For example, to conquer Jingnan, he had to come here in person to let people know that it was he who Li Yi conquered Jingnan.

However, when it comes to specific small matters, there is no need to worry about it. All the credit should be distributed, and he cannot compete with his subordinates for credit. This is the attitude that a qualified protagonist should have.
