There is a mass grave not far to the west of Jiangyan County. The mass grave is full of graves and broken tombstones. The old birds on the trees still make calls from time to time, making the place even more desolate. Except for the days when ancestors worship and sweep the tombs, there will be people. Except for visiting here, basically no one comes here on weekdays.
There was a new grave in the graveyard. There was a huge tombstone in front of the grave, which made the new grave very conspicuous. At this time, the big tombstone in front of the new grave suddenly moved on its own. In broad daylight, the tombstone turned around on its own. Five degrees of rotation, it would be weird if someone was not scared to death when they saw this scene.
At this time, a door appeared behind the tombstone, and then a large group of people came out of the door. The people behind also came out carrying about ten large boxes. There were more than a hundred people in this group, all wearing ordinary people's clothes. , but among these people there were a few with thin skin and tender flesh who looked nothing like ordinary people. When they walked in, they found out that this group of people was King Wei Liu Jinrong and his companions.
After Liu Jinrong arranged a time for the rebels to break out, he took his cronies and escaped out of the city through the tunnel dug in advance. The other end of the tunnel led to the mass graves outside the city. The exit was mainly chosen here because of the daily traffic here. No one comes here, so it's not easy to be discovered.
But then again, who would go to the graveyard every day to chat with ghosts when they have nothing to do?
When Liu Jinrong and his group escaped, for the sake of safety, everyone changed into common people's clothes. Liu Jinrong also asked people to take away more than ten boxes of jewelry that he had collected when he was rebelling against the king.
Zhou Pingchang also advised Liu Jinrong at that time that it would be a burden to run away with so much jewelry and it would be better to bring less. However, Zhou Pingchang felt that he had never seen so much money in his life. Even if he escaped, he would still have to spend money. If What's the point of living without this kind of money? Liu Jinrong is used to living a life of glory and wealth, but he doesn't want to live a miserable life again in the future.
Chen Haoyuan and Li Yong lived in a large house. I heard that a wealthy family named Qian lived here before. However, after the rebels entered the city, the family ran away early, and Li Yong became the new Zhenbei General. Later it became Li Yong's residence.
The breakout was about to begin in the evening. Chen Haoyuan and the others were packing their things in the house. The jewelry that Liu Jinrong had given Li Yong was placed in a small box. Li Yong planned to take it with him during the breakout this time.
Everyone packed up their things and gathered in the yard. Chen Haoyuan saw Li Yong holding a small box in his arms, so he reminded him that everyone was about to break out. It would be difficult to break out with a box in his arms!
Li Yong also knew that this was very inconvenient, but the jewelry in this box was worth at least a thousand taels of silver. Li Yong was a little reluctant to leave so much money, but Li Yong still kept the jewelry in the end. After all, life is worth more than money. important.
Chen Haoyuan found a hidden place in the yard and asked Li Yong to bury the jewelry in it. After doing this, everyone was ready to set off.
At this time, Li Hu suddenly came to tell Chen Haoyuan that he had something to say to Chen Haoyuan. Chen Haoyuan and Li Hu came to the side. Chen Haoyuan asked Li Hu to tell Chen Haoyuan if he had something to say. So Li Hu told Chen Haoyuan that Wei King Liu Jinrong might have escaped.
After hearing this, Chen Haoyuan thought that this was no joke, and then asked Li Hu where he got the news. Li Hu told Chen Haoyuan that Mr. Guo told him. When Chen Haoyuan learned that it was Guo Huaiyi who said it, he asked Li Hu to lead him directly. Go find him yourself.
When Guo Huaiyi saw Chen Haoyuan coming to see him, he told him his conjecture. After hearing this, Chen Haoyuan felt that what Guo Huaiyi said was quite reasonable, so he took him to see Li Yong.
After meeting Li Yong, Chen Haoyuan asked Guo Huaiyi to tell Li Yong his conjecture. Li Yong seemed a little unbelievable after hearing this. Wei Wang Liu Jinrong had called everyone to work together to break out of the encirclement two days ago, but now he ran away first.
At this time, Chen Haoyuan reminded from the side: As the saying goes, "Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes." What's more, we are not related to him. Li Yong feels that what Chen Haoyuan just said is quite reasonable. .
But then again, since King Liu Jinrong of Wei has already run away, what should Chen Haoyuan and the others do next? Should they continue to implement the plan to break out from the south gate tonight? Everyone doesn't know what to do now.
At this time, Guo Huaiyi on the side said that this matter was not trivial. He was just guessing now. General Li should go and confirm it in person, so as to determine the next step.
Li Yong asked Guo Huaiyi how to confirm? Guo Huaiyi told Li Yong his plan. After hearing it, everyone thought Guo Huaiyi's plan was good, and Li Yong himself thought it was feasible.
Next, Li Yong made an excuse as Guo Huaiyi said and came to the carriage of King Wei Liu Jinrong to report his work. However, Li Yong waited for a long time and there was no response from the carriage. It seemed that there was really no one in the carriage. Yong finally had to leave.
After Li Yong came back, he told everyone about the incident. Guo Huaiyi felt that it was now certain that Liu Jinrong had indeed run away. Although it was certain that Liu Jinrong had run away from somewhere else, everyone had not yet decided where to go next.
At this time, Guo Huaiyi said that since the rebels decided to break out from the south gate, we would go in the opposite direction and break out from the north gate. After the rebel forces broke through, they would attract the main enemy forces, and then we would break out from the opposite direction. That would be much easier. After hearing this, everyone thought Guo Huaiyi's idea was a good one.
In the evening, Li Yong led everyone to the north gate. Gu Ping, Li Yong's deputy general, also came to the north gate with Li Yong. There were about two thousand people who followed Li Yong to the north gate. These people were Li Yong and Gu Ping's former subordinate.
General Tang Yongxing of Zhenxi, as the only veteran general left in the four major battles of the rebels, was appointed by Wei Wang Liu Jinrong as the commander-in-chief of the breakout. At night, the rebels were about to break through, but Tang Yongxing did not see Li Yong's troops coming.
Tang Yongxing came to the carriage of Wei King Liu Jinrong and reported the matter to Liu Jinrong. However, Tang Yongxing outside the carriage did not receive a reply. Tang Yongxing also felt bad at this time and seemed to have thought of something.
But now that the rebels were about to break through, it was useless to think any more. Tang Yongxing sent someone to the north gate to inform Li Yong to meet at the south gate, but Li Yong was unwilling to come. Since Li Yong was unwilling to come, Tang Yongxing had nothing to do with him.
At midnight, Tang Yongxing led the rebels to break through from the south gate.
After Wang Shijie learned the news, he thought to himself: The good guy finally couldn't help but want to break out! Then he personally led people to encircle and suppress the enemy, while deputy general Li Baosheng stayed at the camp to prevent accidents.
An hour passed, and the main force of the rebels who broke out of the encirclement had been heavily surrounded by the government troops. Tang Yongxing led the rebels to fight hard with the government troops, hoping to find a way for themselves to survive.
At this time, the north gate suddenly opened and Li Yong led the troops to break out.
In the army camp, Lieutenant General Li Baosheng got the news and personally led his troops to encircle and suppress the army. However, the officers and soldiers have basically gone to encircle and suppress the main force of the rebels led by Tang Yongxing. There are not many people left, but even so, the number of officers and soldiers is not high. Young Master, it will not be easy for Li Yong and his group to break through.
Li Baosheng didn't expect that someone from the rebels would break out from the south gate. Li Baosheng was a little unhappy when Wang Shijie asked him to stay in the camp before, but now that he thought about it, Wang Shijie was indeed very capable and thought of things comprehensively.
For safety reasons, Li Yong placed Chen Haoyuan and Guo Huaiyi at the center of the team, and housekeeper Wu Xian followed closely beside Guo Huaiyi.
Li Yong soon fought with Li Baosheng who came for reinforcements. The two fought inextricably. Li Baosheng became more and more surprised as they fought. He did not expect that there was such a powerful person among the rebels. The two fought for dozens of rounds. It doesn't matter who wins or loses, but Li Yong still wants to lead everyone to break through. He doesn't want to fight too much with the opponent's general, and the opponent is quite powerful.
Li Yong feinted with a sword and slapped the horse and ran away. Li Baosheng saw that Li Yong was about to run away so he could let him go so easily, so he chased after him. Li Yong fought and retreated while everyone struggled to break through.
