After a night of bloodbath in the rebel camp, most of the key members of the Liansheng Sect were slaughtered by Chen Youhao. Although he was timid and cautious, he was a ruthless and decisive person.
Now that you have made up your mind, you must kill if you must, and you must kill cleanly.
How many of them were accidentally killed, he didn't need to consider at all.
"General, that person has answered!" Lan Tian stepped forward.
Chen Youhao wiped the blood on the knife: "What should I say?"
Lan Tian: "That person found out my identity and deceived me with a fake token, but he later admitted it."
Chen Youhao smiled: "As expected of the old fox, I have already expected this. Let me tell you about his conditions!"
Lan Tian looked around, and Chen Youhao waved them back, but he always held the knife to guard against Lan Tian.
"Just stand there and say it!"
Lan Tian smiled bitterly, his general was good at everything, but he was too timid.
"He only allowed ten thousand of us to leave!"
Chen Youhao snorted coldly: "Huangkou boy, he really dares to speak? The Iron Wolf King is here, so I dare to fight. The terrain here is narrow, and the cavalry can't use it at all."
Lan Tian paused: "General, do you know that the other party was deceiving us yesterday?"
Chen Youhao: "Use your brain. If he really joined forces with the Iron Wolf King, would he still let us leave ten thousand people?"
Lan Tian suddenly realized: "The general is brilliant!"
Chen Youhao pondered: "This kid is very smart. He knows that we can't take away so many people. Originally, the general's plan was to consume some useless waste by attacking Cangzhou City, but now it seems that we may have to give it to him."
"ah?!"
Lan Tian's outlook was completely shattered.
"But they are all brothers who share life and death with us!"
Chen Youhao: "We don't stick to trivial matters for big things. Besides, can the food and grass we are waiting for support us to go to Guizhou? Lantian, do you know why I sent you to meet that person?"
"I don't know what a humble job is!"
Chen Youhao: "Because I trust you. Of all the people, I trust you the most."
Lan Tian smiled bitterly: "General, I cannot afford such trust in such a humble position!"
Chen Youhao looked straight at Lan Tian: "No, you can afford it. Do you want to know the reason?"
Chen Youhao sheathed the sword, and Lan Tian relaxed his vigilance.
"I want to be humble!"
Chen Youhao suddenly drew his sword and slashed at Lan Tian. The latter's pupils shrank. When he was about to react, it was already too late. Lan Tian paused on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Chen Youhao turned the blade and lightly tapped Lan Tian's shoulder with the back of the blade. The strength of the sword's sheath was enough to show that he had extraordinary martial arts skills.
"This general likes you for being so loyal and uncompromising! From now on, you will be the first lieutenant general in this army!"
Lan Tian was ecstatic: "Thank you, thank you general!"
In fact, he didn't even react at all. Unexpectedly, his slow action actually saved his life!
"I'll leave this matter to you. You choose 10,000 troops to stand by outside the camp. Wait for my news and leave at dawn."
"promise!"
Lantian walked out of the tent and went to pick people happily.
Chen Youhao snorted: "Trash!"
"Somebody come!"
"exist."
"Load all the luggage and food into the trucks and evacuate the camp before dawn."
"promise!"
In fact, how did Lantian know that the 10,000 troops he selected were actually left behind to provide support.
How could he, Chen Youhao, let others manipulate him?
It was dawn, and in the camp, the carriages and horses had slowly left.
Lan Tian stupidly summoned his 10,000 troops and waited for Chen Youhao's order.
"General Lan, what mission does the coach give us?"
Lan Tian said: "How can you ask about the coach's affairs? The whole army obeys the order and rests where it is!"
"promise!"
On the hill, Yang Yong, who was half asleep, was woken up by someone. He was about to scold his mother, but when he saw Qin Yun, he hurriedly greeted Qin Yun.
"Your Highness...what are your orders?"
Qin Yun smiled and said, "Do you want a great merit for you?"
"Yes, I want it!" Yang Yong was very excited.
Qin Yun: "Take people down to accept the other party's surrender."
Yang Yong paused: "Surrender? Who surrenders?"
Qin Yun: "Of course it's the surrender of the rebels!"
For a moment, Yang Yong was stunned, but out of his trust in Qin Yun, he finally ordered 300 men and horses to prepare and go below.
"Enemy attack!"
At this time, the sky was bright, but Lan Tian and others could still see Yang Yong's appearance clearly.
Yang Yong still looked arrogant: "Why are you shouting? Who wants to surrender?"
Lantian was stunned, and a young general stood up and said: "General Lan, I will go and capture this beast!"
Lan Tian looked at Yang Yong and felt that something was wrong. Surrender. Who said they were going to surrender?
"Wait!"
Lan Tian asked the ordering soldier behind him: "General, no military orders have been sent yet?"
The man shook his head, and Lan Tian suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Quick, send someone to the big tent to find out what's going on!"
Soon someone returned to the military camp, but the news they received shocked everyone present.
"Back to General Lan, the camp is empty. All the baggage, food and fodder have been evacuated!"
As soon as these words came out, Lan Tian finally reacted.
"Chen Youhao, you are so vicious, you are trying to make me wait for you!"
"General Lan, what's going on?"
Lan Tian: "Chen Youhao, that fellow, heard that the Iron Wolf King was coming and wanted to run away. He originally agreed to let me take 10,000 people, but he didn't expect that he took the remaining people and ran away first!"
"General, why don't we catch up and find out what's going on? Maybe it's a misunderstanding?"
Lan Tian's eyes were filled with fire: "Where should we pursue? Poyang Pass in front and Cangzhou City in the rear. We don't have food and grass. Can the army last for one day or two?"
"There are ten thousand mouths. Why, can you drink the northwest wind or chew the bark of a tree?"
Only then did someone react.
"Chen Youhao, he dislikes us and leaves us behind!"
"So what do we do now?"
Lantian looked at Yang Yong on his horse in the distance.
"There is only one solution now! That is to surrender."
"But we are all rebels, and surrendering to the imperial court will lead to death!"
Lan Tian pondered: "Everyone, are we really rebelling?"
"this……"
"Since it's not the case, of course he was coerced! Now, we are waiting for Mingwu to pull the trigger and drive away Chen Youhao. What is this?"
"This is bringing order to chaos!"
"General Lan is high, so high!"
"But who is willing to accept our ten thousand mouths!"
Lan Tian looked at the hill: "I know someone, but do you dare to follow me to meet him?"
"who?"
"The Ninth Prince of Daxia, Prince Liang, he is the only one who can save us and others now."
Everyone looked at each other, and finally one person said: "As long as King Liang can guarantee that the court will not hold us responsible, we will vote for him!"
"Yes, vote for him."
"Okay, you restrain the soldiers, and you must not let them know that the army rations have been lost. Otherwise, it will cause a mutiny and we will have no last retreat."
"General Lan, go away, we will guard this place."
Lan Tian nodded. Naturally, the people he selected were all his cronies, so he could rest assured about this.
Soon, Lan Tian came to Yang Yong with seven or eight people.
"I am going to meet with the prince to discuss surrender!"
Yang Yong blinked and exclaimed in his heart, the prince is a god!
On the hill, Qin Yun was having a drink, while Lan Tian and the seven or eight people accompanying him knelt on the ground.
"Please, Your Majesty, give me a way to survive!"
Qin Yun smiled and said, "Chen Youhao abandoned you?"
"This..." Lan Tian and others looked at each other.
Lan Tian: "How does the prince know?"
Qin Yun: "When you came last night, I knew that this guy was going to run away. He deliberately asked you to tell me that he was going to attack Cangzhou City. It was actually a cover. His real destination was not Qiandi, but It is to bypass Luochuan and go straight to southern Yunnan."
Lan Tian: "How does the prince know?"
Qin Yun: "How could he not know the token as an old man? Since he knows the token, why doesn't he show it to you and let you know it? In the final analysis, he is testing you to see if you are a spy."
"If you are, then he will kill you immediately. If you are not, then he will keep you as a backstop!"
Lan Tian was sweating on his forehead. I wiped it, and his head was about to be smoky. No wonder he couldn't become a general after so many years. It turns out that a general needs so many tricks!
But he still didn't understand why Chen Youhao did this.
"Your Majesty, why is he doing this so much? Just explain it to me directly!"
Qin Yun smiled and shook his head, naturally he would not tell them the rest of the words, because this was a tacit understanding, a tacit understanding between foxes.
Chen Youhao knew what Qin Yun was lacking now, and Qin Yun also knew what Chen Youhao was lacking.
Qin Yun lacked credit and supporters, and Chen Youhao lacked time. He left these ten thousand people to Qin Yun. Even if Qin Yun really had tens of thousands of troops, he would not worry about Qin Yun chasing him.
The reason is very simple. These ten thousand people are rebels. Do you want to kill them or not?
If you kill, it will take a long time no matter what. I will have escaped long ago.
If you don't kill, you are so confident in letting them follow you, aren't you afraid that this is a trap set by me?
Qin Yun felt for the first time that he had met a real opponent, but he might also be a friend.
The other party thought he was Yang Yong's father Yang Gong, maybe it was to sell face.
This is why Qin Yun asked Yang Yong to take over.
It seems complicated, but in fact it is simple. Whether it is the rivers and lakes or the court, it is not always about fighting and killing, but there are also people and worldly feelings!
Qin Yun smiled: "You all get up! General Chen has actually shown you a clear path!"
Everyone looked confused.
"Your Majesty, why do you say this?"
"If he wants to leave, he can't take so many people with him. I saw the fighting in your camp last night. First, he was cleaning out a group of people, and second, he was getting rid of burdens."
"Of course, if it weren't for me, your group would probably be wasted."
Lan Tian is not stupid, he must take a stand at this time.
"Your Majesty, we were all coerced by that thief. Rebellion was not our original intention. We are now abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side. Please give us a way out!"
Qin Yun said: "I can protect you, but why should I protect you? It's not troublesome to kill you, and you have many merits. If you keep your ten thousand mouths, will my support of you be in vain?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Lan Tian took out a knife from his waist and slashed his wrist.
He knelt down on one knee and said: "This humble position is pledged to heaven with blood. As long as we protect the lives of our brothers, we will only obey the orders of the prince in this life, and we will go through fire and water, no matter what!"
Qin Yun laughed loudly and stepped forward to help Lan Tian up: "General Lan, why is this happening? Why is it happening like this!"
"Yang Yong, why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you bring some gauze? I will bandage General Lan myself."
"promise!"
Qin Yun bandaged Lan Tian's wound, and the other generals also breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Chen Youhao, who had escaped overnight, turned back to look at the hill where Qin Yun was.
"No matter who you are, I have repaid this debt!"
"General, we encountered a small group of enemy troops coming from the direction of Cangzhou. They are confronting us and other people at the front checkpoint."
"Did you block the way of the army?"
"Block it!"
"Destroy it!"
