"General!"

When the guards hiding under other bunkers saw this scene, their eyes were splitting. Several loyal guards rushed out from under the bunkers, not caring that they would be exposed.

"General." Looking at the bloody Yu Jian, they were so anxious that they didn't know where to start to help him up.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The bloody humanoid creature on the ground coughed weakly and tried its best to lift its arm, but failed. It just lifted a little and fell back.

"General, where are you injured?"

Yu Jian's chest felt tight and he couldn't speak. After listening to the guards' questions, he wanted to say that he was injured everywhere in his body and was only one step away from death.

After a round of shelling, Li Dingguo drew his sword and pointed it straight at the valley, shouting loudly: "Brothers, they have been beaten to the point where they have no power to fight back. Come on! Capture the thief alive and make the first contribution!"

The flag bearer waved the flag, and the other soldiers who were far away stood up and rushed down the mountain when they saw the flag message.

The only thing that is not perfect is that there is no charge horn. It would be more appropriate if the charge horn is blown.

Lying on his back, Yu Jian noticed the imperial soldiers and horses rushing down from the mountain, but he couldn't move. He was so anxious that he couldn't breathe and fainted.

Seeing this situation, his personal guards no longer cared about the possibility that he might be injured, and directly carried him on their backs and fled towards the entrance of the valley.

The other rebels who were still alive saw that the leading general was unknown whether he was alive or dead, and was being carried out by his personal guards. How could they think of ways to defend themselves against the enemy? They followed their personal guards and ran towards the entrance of the valley.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court caught up with them. Seeing that they could not escape, the rebels who were running behind took advantage of the situation and knelt on the ground and raised their hands in surrender. They knew very well that no matter what, their lives were the most important!

When Li Dingguo saw the rebels running behind surrendering, he shouted at the soldiers and horses in front: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"

After hearing this, the soldiers in front also shouted loudly: "If you surrender, you will not be killed! If you surrender, you will not be killed!"

The panting rebels running in front heard this roar, their legs weakened with fear, and they knelt on the ground and raised their hands in surrender.

"Don't kill me, I surrender! In fact, I don't want to be a traitor for a long time!"

"I surrender! I don't want to be a rebel even if I don't get paid!"

"My lord, can it be a meritorious service if I catch the leader of the thief?"

The guard who was running behind Yu Jian heard this and almost stumbled over his left foot and his right foot. He originally wanted to protect his master loyally, but he later gained his master's attention.

Now being manipulated as fiercely as a tiger by these traitors, Yu Jian's back has become a hot potato.

The high morale caused the imperial troops to march like tigers down the mountain, capturing nearly half of the rebel army, and the other half was basically destroyed by artillery fire.

"General Li, what should we do with this rebel leader?" Niu Debao kicked Yu Jian, who was lying on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Li Dingguo knelt down and felt his breath. "The breath is weak. It seems that he will not survive."

Niu Debao said with pity: "What a pity, living is more useful than dead!"

The merit of capturing the leader of the thief alive is much greater than that of the head. Unfortunately, this Yu Jian was unlucky. He was unlucky enough to be shot after just one shelling.

"He's not dead yet!" reminded the rebel kneeling next to him.

Li Dingguo glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Severe internal injuries, half of his life has been lost even if he is not dead. In this battlefield where there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine, it is only a matter of time before he dies!"

Niu Debao also said: "If he is seriously injured like this and does not die, it will only slow down our progress. If the gain is not worth the loss, we can only kill him in advance."

He landed from Lingshan Guards Station just to take them by surprise and attack them unprepared. If they wanted to take the seriously injured Yu Jian with them, it would definitely hinder their schedule.

In this case, it is better to give him a happy one!
Yu Jian's personal guards frowned, trying to save a chance for Yu Jian: "He fights bravely. If he recovers from his injuries, he might be a strong general, but he may not be able to expand territory for the imperial court!"

After hearing what he said, Niu Debao sneered: "Fighting bravely? You actually mention him as being brave in fighting in front of us? Do you know that he fought bravely and killed our imperial soldiers? If you go by what you said, he was still the executioner who massacred our soldiers." , A person who has done so many evil deeds deserves to die even more!"

The guard was shocked when he heard what he said. He was a rough man with a clumsy tongue. Now everything was backfired! ——
Let's talk about Leling in Qingzhou. After learning that Yanzhou was lost, Tan Lang's hair turned a lot gray from worry overnight.

Finally, after half a month of siege, he adopted the advice of his staff and organized a team of troops to go out of the city at night to raid the imperial military camp for food and grass.

When marching and fighting, food and grass are the top priority.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court paid the most attention to the defense of food and grass. The rebels were discovered before they even got close, and their whereabouts were exposed. The outcome of this rebel army can be imagined, and there will be no return.

Long Yutian acted according to his plan and asked the court soldiers to pretend to be the rebels who were attacking in a sneak attack. On a night of fire and chaos, they fled back to Leling City.

Cooperating inside and outside, Leling City was finally captured by the imperial troops. Tan Lang and Prince Ning led an elite team to break out.

Fleeing all the way north, he was as embarrassed as a bereaved dog!

"General, where are we going now? To Qingzhou or another city?" Tan Lang's staff rode up to him and asked.

Tan Lang looked back at the defeated team and frowned: "Mr. Yi, where should we go?"

Staff: "We left the city in a hurry this time, and the food, grass and baggage were not shipped out, so we have to go back to Qingzhou City, which is our base camp, and we have to go there to replenish the food, grass and baggage."

This time, the imperial soldiers and horses attacked them in several groups at the same time. They were obviously determined to catch them all. Tan Lang was worried that Qingzhou City was in danger, so he said: "One of the targets of the imperial soldiers and horses this time is obviously Qingzhou City. Let's go Isn’t Qingzhou City like throwing itself into a trap?”

The staff nodded: "We can't stay in Qingzhou City. We just replenished the supplies and immediately withdrew our troops and fled east. If that doesn't work, we have a way out. We can take a boat to Jeju Island."

But when it comes to taking a boat, there will definitely be a large number of brothers who have followed them through life and death and cannot be taken away, leaving them in the hands of the imperial court. I can only silently say sorry in my heart!
The imperial troops were divided into four groups to counter the rebellion, with the three armies on land as the main force and the sea landing as the supplement. At the same time, they marched towards the hinterland of Qingzhou.Zhending Road, Shunde Road and Jining Road, all three roads went hand in hand, leaving the rebels with no way to escape and no chance to go to other state capitals.

Li Dingguo, who landed by sea and marched from Yidu Road, cooperating with the other three groups of soldiers, made a contribution halfway before fighting the main force of the rebels.

The four groups of soldiers and horses slowly closed the encirclement. At least the rebels had no chance to flee west or south.Now they can only be forced to flee eastward.

Long Yutian continued to make arrangements like this, which would not give the rebels a way to survive. With the imperial army strong, the rebels had no intention of fighting with the imperial soldiers and horses, and just wanted to escape from the encirclement of the imperial soldiers and horses as soon as possible.

In this strange situation of you chasing me and fleeing, the court's suppression of the rebellion was extremely smooth.

Even Long Yutian lamented that the Queen was taking the credit for him, leaving him alone to pick up the credit.

What really frightens the rebels is not how perfect his strategy is, but the fact that the rebels are afraid of their army's weapons, and the crushing battle leaves no chance for the enemy to win, and directly suppresses the enemy without fighting spirit.

It wasn't until the rebels were forced to Kenli that Tan Lang realized that the Yu Dynasty was no longer the Yu Dynasty of the past. The current Yu Dynasty's army was well-equipped and had sufficient food and military pay. It was a sign of prosperity. How could it be the same as before? Social unrest during an uprising.

"General, we came all the way and took away all the food that could be taken away from the granary. We burned all the food that could not be taken away. My subordinates don't understand. When the food and grass are burned out, where will they get the food and grass next?" Staff Puzzled.

The imperial soldiers and horses chased them fiercely. Logically speaking, they could not transport the baggage and food and grass at such a fast speed. However, the imperial soldiers and horses persisted and kept holding on to them. Leaving aside the baggage and food, the soldiers and horses never let go. Where did it come from?

Tan Lang looked at the vast sea, and the sea breeze blew his white hair on his temples. He listened to his staff and sighed: "No matter what, we will burn the last granary in Cangzhou and recruit all the ships from the nearby coast."

There was no way to escape but to board a ship and go to sea.

The place overseas is vast, and one day he will have the opportunity to counterattack!

After the order was passed on, Tan Lang turned to look at Prince Ning: "Your Majesty, will you follow us and flee overseas, or will you stick to this land? After all, your ancestors are buried in this land!"

Prince Ning: "."

It's as if your ancestors were not buried in this land!
"I am now wanted by the court. If I stay in this land, I will either die or be imprisoned for life. My life and freedom are threatened. There is little point in staying in this land. I will go to sea with you on the boat. .”

After hearing his words, Tan Lang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. These words were high-sounding, and he concluded by saying, "I'm afraid of death!"

The staff intervened at this time and suggested: "General, let me tell you, now that we are about to go to sea, there is no use keeping him, why not kill him? There is also Cangzhou City. It will be easier for them to burn the granary, so why not massacre the city? how?"

Not to mention, Tan Lang was really moved after listening to his suggestion. The main reason was that he had been operating in Qingzhou for several years and finally resumed production. However, he asked the imperial court to pick his peaches. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't accept it!
No matter what, it has to cause some trouble to the court!

After hearing what they said, Prince Ning looked at their crazy expressions and murmured: "You are crazy! You crazy people are really crazy! When fighting for hegemony in the world, even if you fail, you should not anger the people. No matter how you say the people are innocent! "

"Haha, I never thought you would be a good emperor who cares about the country and the people!" Tan Lang gritted his teeth and stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped him.

"Snapped!"

"It's shameless to give you face. I really thought that if I made you the emperor, you would really be the emperor. How dare you preach to me, the general, and give you face?"

Prince Ning covered his burning face and stared at Tan Lang in shock. He never thought that the person who had been so polite to him would one day punch and kick him.

"General Tan, are you planning to break the pot?" Prince Ning rubbed his cheeks, and a trace of sarcasm emerged from the corner of his mouth: "It's not me who caused all this now, but Yu Jian under your general Tan. If he hadn't been defeated If you escape and lose Yanzhou, it is impossible for the imperial troops to surround you so quickly, leading to your complete defeat!"

Tan Lang was upset when he thought about this. When he was in Qingzhou, he was beyond the reach of Yanzhou. The imperial troops attacked so fast and fiercely that it was understandable that he couldn't resist. The most unacceptable thing for him was that Yu Jian abandoned him and escaped by himself. Got it!

This is what he cannot tolerate! ——
When the battle report from Qingzhou reached Jiankang, Li Jingfu excitedly said three good words in front of all the court officials!

"Okay, okay! I, the man of Dayu, still have the same demeanor as Taizu. He put down the rebellion, expelled the Beidi Tatars, and showed the power of Dayu's court!"

"Long live my emperor, may the Great Yu live forever!"

The courtiers were equally excited and knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

Dayu had been in civil strife for several years. Although the leaders of the thieves had not been captured and they had not been killed in one fell swoop, the success of the suppression of the rebellion was a foregone conclusion. The generals who led the army were indispensable. With this honor, at least three generations would not have to worry about wealth!

The Qinzheng Hall was filled with joy and excitement, and all the officials wished they could tell everyone in the world immediately. The emperor also wanted to share this good news with everyone in the world.

"I thought that the rebels had suffered serious losses and they would definitely go to sea by boat. The emperor quickly issued an order to urge the Dragon Supervisor Army to prevent the rebels from going to sea. They must be wiped out in Qingzhou to prevent them from coming back and causing endless trouble!" Zuo! Pu She suggested.

Li Jingfu waved the letter in his hand and explained: "The leader of the bandit, Qin, fled all the way and set fires along the way, causing disasters in some towns. How much damage was caused? I believe that in a few days, another letter will be sent to the inn. Long Yutian They are leading the troops to resettle the people and prevent the rebels from raiding. It can be said that outside, all the team members are working hard, otherwise it will be a big deal if something goes wrong!"

A knowledgeable general stood up and suggested: "Your Majesty, I believe that the most urgent task is how to deploy Qingzhou's border defenses as quickly as possible after recapturing Qingzhou!"

Li Jingfu didn't understand and asked, "How do you say this?"

Zhibing Military General: "The rebels have occupied Qingzhou for several years. It doesn't take much to know that they don't pay enough attention to the coastal border defense facilities. The worst case scenario is that the military fortifications of the border defense have been delayed by them."

"The civil strife has been settled. In the next few years, the imperial court will definitely vigorously develop agriculture. When there is more food, the coastal areas will definitely be invaded by pirates, and maybe foreigners will come to rob it!"

Li Jingfu nodded. To quell the civil strife, we must vigorously develop all walks of life.

Not to be outdone, the Minister of Hubu stood up and said, "Wherever the rebel leaders passed, it was like locusts crossing the border. The best trees were peeled off by them. They did such evil to anger the imperial court. This time they He had the audacity to set fire to all the granaries in his path."

This wave of operations by the rebels has led to the certainty that Qingzhou will be short of food this year. Now it is how to solve this possible famine.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has no food to transfer to Qingzhou. Why don't we let them solve it on the spot? Or ask the Queen to send some?"

Li Jingfu was so angry that he called him a scoundrel, but this was also true. The imperial court really did not have any extra food to transfer to Qingzhou.
