When Li Xian started taking action, he quickly saw the fact that the chance of charging out from the front was very slim. He still let Yan Chenglu and others rush forward in order to create the opportunity and time for him to leave from the rear.
The moment before the long knife penetrated his chest, Yan Chenglu's blood-filled mind was still fantasizing about fighting his way out of here, attacking Mianzhou, and venting his hatred on Chang Suining's head——
He didn't bother to think about it. What Li Xian was best at was sacrificing other people's lives for his own profit and livelihood. He would be willing to give up on innocent people, and everyone in the Korean government would be willing to give up on him, including a mere Yan Chenglu.
Li Xian galloped on his horse, and was able to escape from the military camp despite the delay and obstruction of the soldiers behind him.
When he left the military camp, he was surrounded by eight thousand soldiers. Most of them were old troops who had followed him for many years. The generals among them were the troops left by his father, the late Duke of Korea. They had suffered losses along with Li Xian and were loyal to Li Xian.
Not two.
But their loyalty was not enough to make Li Xian soften his heart at all. To Li Xian, this loyalty was just a charm that could be used to exchange lives for lives.
After Li Xian left the military camp, he ordered 3,000 men to fight desperately to stop Xiao Min. He then changed his clothes and armor with his confidant He Shan, and ordered He Shan to take the people to another route to confuse the sight of the pursuers.
By fighting and fleeing all the way, Li Xian was able to escape to Dongting just before dawn.
At this time, most of the thousands of soldiers responsible for garrisoning Dongting were Li Xian's men. The general who led him was usually more inclined to flatter Li Xian in the army. In addition, there was no time to know the news of Li Xian's rebellion at this time, so Li Xian marched on urgent matters.
Because the sky was still dim, the selfish general did not ask any further questions and hurriedly let him go.
After leaving the Dongting, Li Xian took a brief rest and counted the number of people. He was surprised to find that there were less than two thousand people.
Xiao Min pursued him relentlessly, but could not get away many times. He had to keep people behind him to resist and delay. At this moment, the less than 2,000 people were too tired.
Not only that, Li Xian himself was injured by an arrow.
He was injured on his left arm, the arrow feathers were broken by him, and the arrowhead was still embedded in the flesh and bone.
Taking advantage of this break, Li Xianren pulled out the broken arrow for himself and hurriedly applied medicine to the wound. However, because the soldier who pulled out the sword was not as delicate as the doctor, even after bandaging, Li Xian's arm was still unable to move.
The pain made him sweat profusely.
At this time, Arlan, who had followed him all the way to this place, stepped forward and held a porcelain bottle in his hands: "This medicine can relieve the general's pain."
Gritting his teeth in pain, the pale Li Xian glanced at her and asked: "When did you prepare this medicine?"
"Before leaving," Arlan said, "It is Arlan's duty to prepare medicine for the general."
Li Xian knew that if he could not relieve the pain, it would definitely affect his subsequent journey. He looked at Arlan and ordered: "Swallow one first."
Allan did not hesitate, poured out a pill and swallowed it.
Li Xian watched her movements closely, then he accepted the order with confidence, and quickly gave the order to continue on his way.
His goal is still Yuezhou.
His original plan was disrupted by Xiao Min, and he fled in desperation, so that the soldiers accompanying him had very little dry food and medicine. Under such circumstances, if they blindly fled, they would not be able to survive without Xiao Min coming to kill them.
how long.
It is impossible for Xiao Min to spread the news to Yuezhou so quickly. He only needs to rush there and occupy Yuezhou City. When the city gate barrier blocks it, he can lead his troops to rest and breathe. The only thing he can do now is survive first.
, to plan the next step!
Driven by the desire to survive, Li Xian and others ran all the way and arrived at Yuezhou City in the afternoon.
Due to the special situation in Yuezhou, the city gates were closed even during the day. Li Xian's men pulled out the commander's flag and shouted to the guards above the city tower: "Open the city gate quickly! Welcome the commander into the city!"
The guard did not hesitate when he saw this and quickly complied.
The heavy city gate was slowly opened, and Li Xian led more than a thousand soldiers into the city.
At this time, a lieutenant general in charge of guarding here came after hearing the news and stepped forward to salute Li Xian.
The sound of the city gate closing behind him allowed Li Xian to finally find some peace. Before he got off his horse, he ordered: "Send the order. Without my permission, no one is allowed to open the city gate without permission."
,Those who disobey the order will be killed!”
"Yes!" The deputy general agreed. Seeing the armor on Li Xian's body and the wound cloth wrapped around his arms, as well as the extremely tired and injured subordinates behind him, he couldn't help asking solemnly: "Dare you ask the commander why?"
Why did you suddenly come to Yuezhou? I wonder what happened?"
Li Xian was not impressed by the young lieutenant in front of him, who had an eccentric appearance. He did not answer the other party's question, but asked: "What is your name?"
"Return to the commander, my subordinate calls me Yuan Wenshi."
Li Xian still had no impression, so he did not dare to be careless. He once again gave serious instructions: "There is turmoil in the army. I am acting under the holy order. Without my express instructions, I must guard the city gate."
Hearing the "commotion in the army", Yuan Wenshi's complexion changed slightly, and he responded with an increasingly solemn expression.
Seeing that he obeyed orders loyally, Li Xianwei felt relieved and said: "Take me to the governor's office in the city and ask someone to prepare medicine and food."
Soon after he took the pills Al Lan gave him, the wound on his arm did no longer hurt, but just now it started to hurt slightly again. It seemed that the effect of the medicine had worn off.
"Yes." After Yuan Wenshi agreed, he added: "It's just that there are other noble people in the governor's mansion now."
Li Xian covered the painful wound with one hand and glanced away: "Who is here?"
"He is the Changjie envoy of Huainan Road."
"...Chang Sui Ning?" Li Xian frowned and said, "Why is she here! Why did you let her into Yuezhou City without permission!"
As he ran for his life, Li Xian couldn't even bother to cover up the hostility and murderous aura that suddenly broke out around him.
Yuan Wenshi was startled for a moment, then explained: "The commander may not know, but about four days ago, Mianzhou had obtained a cure for the plague, so Changjie envoys brought people to Yuezhou City to treat the people, and the minister of house was also here.
"
After Bian's army withdrew from Yuezhou, some people in the city still did not leave. They were either too ill to travel far, or were afraid of the war outside, so they chose to hide in Yuezhou City.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Yuan Wenshi led his people to take over Yuezhou City, they cleaned the city and burned corpses every day, but did not have the heart to kill all the people who were hiding in Tibet.
It wasn't until Chang Suining came with doctors and treatment methods that the common people dared to show up one after another. After counting in the past few days, there were actually thousands of people.
"How many people did Chang Suining bring?" Li Xian asked firmly.
"In addition to the doctors, there are a thousand cavalry."
Li Xian asked again: "How many people do you have?"
Yuan Wenshi paused for a moment and replied: "Go back to the commander-in-chief. The last general will lead five thousand troops here."
Li Xian's eyes moved slightly, and after thinking quickly, he said firmly: "Lead the way, and follow my orders later -"
For him to go out of the city right now would be to die...and he may not be able to kill Chang Sui Ning in Yuezhou City while she is still defenseless!
If Chang Sui Ning dies, the thousands of people under her command will definitely be in disarray, and then there will be no danger.
After Li Xian made up his mind, he drove his horse forward.
Yuan Wenshi's mind was spinning, and he mounted his horse to follow. Halfway through the journey, he slowed down his horse and said, "Commander, there seems to be a regular envoy in front of me."
This was a long street. Li Xian reined in his horse and looked around, only to see a group of dozens of cavalry waiting in front of him.
After a moment, a light green figure walked out of an alley. Someone was holding a horse for her, and another man in official uniform followed him half a step behind. This person was none other than Fang Ting, the Minister of Rites, and his posture was very respectful.
Fang Ting could not help but be respectful.
He came here under the Holy Order to control the plague. As soon as the people arrived, Song Xian stabbed him in a big trap. After that, he had to wait for orders. When the Saint asked him to assist Chang Sui Ning, he took
The doctor went to Mianzhou.
In Mianzhou, he was in a slightly embarrassing situation. During this period, he tried to inquire about Song Xian's news from the Changjie envoy, who did not hide it from him and said to him: "Don't worry, Minister, Master Song is safe."
Went back to Beijing.]
After hearing this, Fang Ting always felt that there was some profound meaning, but he did not dare to ask any more questions.
After all, he was on someone else's territory, and the world was in such chaos, so he had no choice but to be cautious, follow Chang Suining's arrangements, and treat the people affected by the epidemic - not to mention, the method of treating the plague was actually devised by someone else.
.
This made Fang Ting breathe a sigh of relief. Although he could stand by and watch Yan Chenglu burn the people alive, for him, that was the rule of the officialdom, not because he was really hard-hearted. Now he sees that these people can survive.
With the opportunity, he can communicate better, and he feels lucky in his heart.
And during the treatment process, he had witnessed too many tragic scenes with his own eyes, and it became increasingly difficult for him to accept the way the Korean government acted - now there are nine empty houses in Yuezhou City, half of which were caused by Bian Jun, and the other half.
It's the plague that's ravaging it.
Fang Ting was sighing in his heart when he suddenly heard the girl beside him say: "Mr. Han——"
Fang Ting reacted for a moment, thinking that this guy was going to scold Li Xian, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the girl stopped, looked straight ahead, and said in a calm tone: "I've been waiting for a long time."
Fang Ting followed her line of sight and saw people and horses stopping in front of him. The leader was the embarrassed version of the Korean male.
Li Xian was still thinking of waiting for an opportunity to attack Chang Sui Ning. At this moment, he did not show any hostility. As soon as he raised his hand on the horse and was about to say something, he saw the girl in green standing with her hands behind her back and said directly: "Take Li Xian."
Down--"
As soon as her voice fell, dozens of subordinates on her left and right drew their swords without hesitation.
Li Xian's expression changed drastically, and he immediately drew his sword and said, "What does Changjie make of this?"
"Chief Chang, is there any misunderstanding in this?" Fang Ting asked in shock, but when he saw the soldiers drawing their swords after Li Xian, he subconsciously took another step behind Chang Suining. Even he himself couldn't explain what was going on.
What an inexplicable sense of trust.
"There is no misunderstanding." Chang Suining looked at Li Xian with a determined expression: "Korean Duke Li Xian failed in his rebellion and fled here."
"That's nonsense!" Li Xian's eyes trembled slightly, but his voice became colder and sterner, pointing the knife at Chang Sui Ning: "This woman has slandered me and wants to force the general of the imperial court to kill, which shows that she has different intentions... Yuan Wenshi, follow me and kill him quickly
Get it!"
Chang Suining's eyes turned slightly and fell on Yuan Wenshi, whose expression was changing: "General Yuan, quickly call in troops to kill the rebels with me."
"Yes——!" Yuan Wenshi held up his hand, the hesitation in his eyes suddenly disappeared, he reined in his horse, raised his hand and said: "Capture the rebel Li Xian!"
Li Xian was shocked and angry, his eyes like daggers: "Yuan Wenshi, how dare you conspire against me!"
Yuan Wenshi obviously didn't know anything beforehand, but now he wanted to attack Chang Sui Ning because of his mere words without evidence!
Yuan Wenshi's expression was solemn and unwavering - Li Xian suddenly appeared here in a panic, his words and actions were strange.
Although he was not Xiao Min's confidant, he was one of the lieutenants who, together with Xiao Min, accompanied Chang Sui Ning to put down the Xu Zhengye Rebellion. He was promoted to general from that battle.
Thinking back to the time when he failed to pass the lot and stayed in Jiangdu, he had no appetite for food for three days. At this moment, the consecrated copper plate was still tied to his wrist.
There is no need to elaborate on who to believe at this moment, he has already made the decision in his heart.
Seeing soldiers quickly approaching from all directions, Li Xian reined in his horse and retreated, looking at Chang Sui Ning with gritted teeth, and said without any concealment: "You bitch, you and Li Rong are plotting against me!"
In this short moment, borrowing Chang Suining's phrase "long wait", he had already figured it out...Yuan Wenshi hadn't heard the news yet, so why did she, Chang Suining, look so sure? And Li Rong had been to Mian before entering the capital.
State, these two people must have conspired to plot against him at that time!
Chang Suining said "hmm": "It's not that stupid."
She stood there without any change in her expression, as if she had planned everything and was just waiting for him to crash into the urn.
And even though he was sitting on horseback, he still felt contemptuous and looked down upon by him.
This feeling of being plotted and manipulated by the other party made Li Xianru choke with a knot in his throat - the other party was just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, what did she deserve!
The humiliation in this desperate situation, and the increasingly intense pain in his left arm, almost defeated Li Xian's last trace of reason. He drew his sword and rode towards Chang Suining: "...seeking death!"
However, before he could get close, sharp arrows came towards him.
Li Xian's pupils shrank and he swung his sword to block the arrow, but then several more flew towards him and he was forced to fall off his horse while dodging.
Yuan Wenshi led his men to surround him with swords drawn, and the two sides quickly started fighting.
During the response, Li Xianji wanted to kill in the direction of Chang Suining, but he had no chance at all. He could only look at the clean-robed girl in green standing outside the fight, as if he didn't even need her to do it himself.
This realization made Li Xian even more angry and aroused his murderous intention.
But having murderous intentions alone is not enough. His men and horses are already exhausted. At this moment, they see that they are surrounded tightly, with no way out, and their final fighting spirit is rapidly declining.
Those people fell one after another, and corpses were soon piled up under Li Xian's feet. In a hurry, Arlan grabbed one of his arms and said, "General, follow me!"
Li Xian didn't care much and followed Arlan to escape into a narrow alley. The moment he stepped into it, he was shocked to realize that it was a dead end.
Li Xian's expression suddenly changed. When he turned around, a sharp arrow suddenly pierced one of his calves, causing him to kneel down with the knife in his hand.
He tried to push himself up, but for some reason the bones in his body hurt as if they were broken, and black blood began to flow from his mouth.
His vision was somewhat obstructed by sweat mixed with blood. In the hazy moment, he saw a light green figure walking over, accompanied by several generals in armor.
