Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Before the surrendered peasant army had finished reorganizing itself, a piece of shocking bad news spread throughout the entire Jingzhou city.

The Qing Kingdom was destroyed, Emperor Qing died, Fan Xian died, and the city of Jinling and Suzhou, important cities of the Qing Kingdom and tax-collecting areas, were all captured by the Han army.

Li Chengze ran thousands of miles, his thighs were almost rubbed bloody by the horse, and he could barely stand in front of Li Chengru.

"Brother, surrender now! You and Emperor Gao have a long history and have always had a good relationship. As long as you surrender, I can give you the position of King Qing."

In the hall, many generals were in an uproar and talked a lot.

Now that the Qing Kingdom has been destroyed, all the aristocratic families and powerful people are dead.

There is really no need to continue this war.

Moreover, as long as Li Chengru surrenders, he will surely enjoy wealth and glory in the future. If Emperor Gao can accept Li Chengze and other members of the Nanqing royal family, he can certainly accept Li Chengru as well.

Li Chengru looked at his younger brother with complicated eyes.

"You win!"

"But I will not surrender. There is only the eldest prince Li Chengru who died in battle in this world, and there is no Li Chengru of the Han Dynasty who is still alive."

A son should not be ashamed of his poor family!
Qing Kingdom is Li Chengru's home no matter what.

Li Chengze became anxious, and he went to Jingzhou City just to persuade his elder brother to surrender before the army arrived.

Given the cruel and ruthless character of General Ergouzi, Li Chengru would probably not have a good death if he fell into his hands.

Many generals also began to waver, but Li Chengru had great prestige in the army, so they did not dare to interfere.

Li Chengru slowly stood up and bowed deeply to the many generals.

"Everyone, I know this is a losing battle. You don't have to accompany a member of the royal family like me to die."

"If any of you want to leave, I will never stop you. Follow my brother and get the wealth and glory you want."

The voice is sincere and genuine, without any impurities.

There was a hint of deep despair in Li Chengze's eyes.

That's why my brother asked Li Chengze to travel thousands of miles to save Li Chengru.

But because Li Chengru is such a loyal and honest person, it is absolutely impossible for him to surrender.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I have an old mother to take care of at home. I can't die with Your Highness."

Of the thirteen generals in the hall, about five or six stood up, looking ashamed.

Li Chengru once saved their lives on the battlefield, but now they can only live in misery.

"It's fine……"

Li Chengru nodded slightly and estimated the number of troops willing to follow him.

There were only about 30,000 people left, barely able to defend Jingzhou City.

Li Chengze was helpless. He sighed softly and took these generals to surrender outside Jingzhou City.

Li Chengru glanced at these followers who were ready to die and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Everyone, are you willing to accompany me to create another miracle?"

"I am willing to die for your Highness!"

Many generals clasped their fists and greeted him with military salute.

Li Chengru's eyes were filled with passion.

"In that case, bring all the war horses in the city. I want to prepare a great gift for the General of Chariots and Cavalry."

A hundred miles away from Jingzhou City, an army of two hundred thousand marched towards Jingzhou City with earth-shaking steps.

Er Gouzi is in high spirits. Now he is the second-in-command of the Han Dynasty's military. Even kings and princes can only be dispatched under his command.

"I wonder if His Majesty will make me king after I recapture Jingzhou and take over Jinglu."

Er Gouzi couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

The general has been named King of Zhao. Emperor Gao is going to send Han Xin to Langya County of Northern Qi to take over the defense line of the Snowy Northern Barbarians and the Western Hu.

In other words, in the future court, all military generals will have to follow his lead.

"General, this place is very close to Jingzhou City. Why don't we send scouts to investigate?"

Uesugi Tora looked at the surrounding hills and felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Yan Xiaoyi nodded in agreement, as Li Chengru had cavalry under his command.

These cavalrymen were from the time when Li Chengru was the general of the Xiliang Road camp and Qianlong Bay was under Li Chengru's control. It can be said that they are loyal to Li Chengru and even Emperor Qing and Fan Xian cannot take them away. They are the foundation of Li Chengru's survival.

Er Gouzi suppressed the smile on his face, thought for a while, and nodded.

He was not a fool. To win the war, he had to proceed cautiously. After following Han Xin and Liu Hong for a long time, he also learned a lot.

However, the scouts had just been sent out for a short time when almost all of them hurried back to the army in panic.

"General, it's bad. Li Chengru has arrived with 20,000 cavalrymen. The soldiers escorting the logistics baggage have almost been dispersed."

Er Gouzi couldn't help but scream out loud.

"Is this guy crazy? This place is a hundred miles away from Jingzhou City. If he gets caught in a military formation, Li Chengru won't be able to escape."

If it's thirty or fifty miles away, we can launch a surprise attack.

Er Gouzi could still understand this common military practice. Looking at Jingzhou City and the mobility of the cavalry, they could attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

The problem is that this is an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

There was no time to hesitate, Ergouzi's eyes turned cold.

"King of Jin Shangshanhu, listen to my order. You lead my 30,000 cavalry to fight against Li Chengru. King of Yan Yan Xiaoyi, listen to my order. You lead 30,000 archers to block the road that Li Chengru must take to retreat to Jingzhou."

As for Er Gouzi, he commanded a central army of more than 100,000 people.

As long as the central army does not collapse, Li Chengru will not be able to cause any trouble.

As for the logistical supplies, the Han Dynasty was a large and powerful country, so the worst that could happen was that they could just ask for another one.

The militiamen who were escorting the logistical supplies had already fled, leaving behind only a large amount of supplies.

"Your Highness, do you want to burn all this food?"

The generals under his command swallowed their saliva, feeling somewhat reluctant and with a look of pain on their faces.

However, in order to maintain the mobility of the cavalry, it is already very good to be able to carry three days of food.

Li Chengru looked at the large amounts of food and was silent for a while.

"Forget it! Let's give these grains to the people of Kyoto. It can be regarded as Qing Kingdom's compensation to them over the past few years."

When the generals under him heard Li Chengru's words, they immediately felt something was wrong.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

"Hehe... During the Siege of Kyoto, Mr. Qin Ye and my father were always betrayed by those aristocratic families when they were defending the city."

"How could I make such a mistake? I don't want Jingzhou anymore. I want to take Hangzhou."

Li Chengru was in high spirits and looked extremely happy.

Perhaps only after the fall of the Qing Dynasty and no one to restrain Li Chengru could he display his military capabilities.

He originally rose to prominence as a general relying on the border cavalry, and was forced to fight in defense battles every time. No one knew the frustration in his heart.

Soon, the 20,000 cavalrymen led by Li Chengru threw the food to the people in the nearby villages almost at random and rode away.

By the time Uesugi Tora led the cavalry to arrive, it was already too late.

"Li Chengru? I underestimated you."

Uesugi Tora didn't look depressed at all. Instead, he had a faint smile on his face.

Yan Xiaoyi has blocked Li Chengru's only way to evacuate Jingzhou City, unless Li Chengru abandons Jingzhou City and garrisons in other small cities along the Jinglu Road.

If that were the case, General Ergou would probably laugh his head off.

Jingzhou City is the only big city in Jinglu, and other cities cannot stop hundreds of catapults.

However, Shangshan Hu and Yan Xiaoyi waited for a long time but did not receive any news from Li Chengru.

Er Gouzi took over Jingzhou with almost no effort. He felt dizzy and a little unbelievable.

It’s too easy!
Then what was the point of Li Chengru's sneak attack on his logistics and supply troops?

"General Chariot and Cavalry, this is a letter from my elder brother."

Li Chengze forced a smile and handed Ergouzi a letter.

Er Gouzi opened it casually and took a look, then he was completely shocked.

"Not good!" (End of this chapter)
