Tang Yi learned that Chu Nanzhi's mother and son had escaped from the Yizhou River section in the evening. Although he was furious, he could not accuse Sun Boren before he captured Chu Nanzhi.
In everyone's eyes, King Qinghe was so powerful that he was invincible even with the reputation of rebellion.
But in his opinion, King Pingning should not be underestimated either. After all, if this person is ordered to join King Qin in Beijing, there will be people who will respond, and there will definitely be a fierce battle between the two.
At this time, he had to leave a way out for himself.
Regardless of whether Sun Boren let go of Princess Pingning and her son intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Jinxiao will always be grateful for this kindness.
After careful consideration, Tang Yi simply dismissed Sun Boren from his official position, and then ordered 50,000 cavalry to go straight to the border of Langzhou.
As soon as the army arrived at Chenluan County, they saw a group of soldiers running back from the city in disgrace.
Seeing that they were sent to hunt down Xie Jingchen with his nephew Tang Che, Tang Yi asked anxiously: "What happened? Where is General Che?"
"Reporting to the Governor, we encountered an ambush in the valley on the way to Zhoukang County. General Che is leading his men to fight fiercely with the bandits. We have ordered the general to come back for help."
"It's unreasonable that someone dares to rebel within the jurisdiction of this governor."
Tang Yi was so angry that he gritted his teeth, ordered the army to advance at full speed, and rushed to Zhoukang County to rescue Tang Che.
When they arrived at the ambush site, Tang Che was cleaning the battlefield with only two thousand remaining soldiers. Looking up at the valley, corpses were strewn everywhere. Looking at the situation, his nephew had already repelled the ambush army.
Tang Yi asked confusedly: "Who dares to be so presumptuous?"
"He is from Baiyu."
Tang Che sighed sadly: "I don't know how there are Baiyu people here. There are as many as three thousand people. They are all agile. Fortunately, I wiped them all out. It's a pity that I didn't find that person."
Traces of Prince Xie.”
After saying that, he looked at Tang Yi questioningly.
Tang Yi saw that his nephew was suspecting that he was colluding with the Baiyu people, and quickly explained: "I heard that the Baiyu people have placed a lot of spies in our court, and they must have come to support Prince Xie."
Afraid that he would continue to dwell on this matter, Tang Yi immediately said: "I have received news that Princess Pingning fled from the Jinglu Canal to the border of Langzhou. Che'er, please quickly count the people and follow me to pursue her.
.”
"Did you really escape from the water?"
Tang Che's heart was extremely complicated at this time.
If King Qinghe had listened to him earlier and let the woman escape, he would have been captured and taken back to Jinling City before reaching Yizhou.
It's just that there are thousands of people in the Yizhou Navy. How could they let people go so easily?
He asked angrily: "Uncle, are all the sailors under your command vegetarians? Are you watching people leave the country?"
"Che'er, you have been following King Qinghe for quite some time. You should know his temperament better than I do."
Tang Yi held on to the riding whip tightly and looked at him meaningfully: "Since His Highness has already determined that Princess Pingning will not escape through the waterway, if you take it upon yourself to launch a massive search along the river, even if you catch Princess Pingning, there will be no doubt in His Majesty's heart.
You will only get a reputation of being arbitrary and unruly."
After a few seconds of silence, he shook his head helplessly and said: "His Highness has led troops for many years, and he hates people who disobey orders the most. Since he concluded that the people were leaving the capital by land, he did not hesitate to send cavalry to chase them in five groups. In the end, you were on the water.
If you catch someone, wouldn't it embarrass him, and he will only be wary of you in the future?"
It was also a word that woke up the dreamer. These words immediately reminded Tang Che.
King Qinghe was born to be arrogant and arrogant, and he hated the people under his command showing off their cleverness.
"It's better to follow me quickly to catch up with Princess Pingning."
Tang Yi looked deeply in the direction of Zhoukang County: "They just passed through the Yizhou River section at noon, so they must not be far away. We can bypass Zhoukang County and intercept them at the Langzhou border."
After a pause, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Even if you can't get anyone, His Highness will at most be angry and feel that it was his own mistake, but he will not vent his anger on you and me."
After receiving his uncle's advice, Tang Che stopped arguing and obediently mounted his horse and followed him to Zhoukang County.
The ship was moored at the Zhoukang County pier. Chu Nanzhi did not dare to stay for a moment, and led the whole family in a hurry to Anhe County.
We hired two carriages at a village on the outskirts of the county, lit torches and continued traveling along the rugged mountain roads filled with dust.
Just as we were about to enter Anhe County, we heard the deafening sound of horse hooves coming from all directions.
Chen Chuan realized that it was the Yizhou cavalry who were chasing after him, and immediately ordered Tang Weiming: "Manager Tang, you escort the princess and the princess into the city first, and I will stop here."
Although Chu Nanzhi was very sure that Ji Rongheng would not hand her over to the Yizhou army, Anhe County was a small town after all, and it was still some distance away from Langzhou City. She had to rush to the city immediately to discuss countermeasures with Hu Maoxi.
Waiting for Ji Rongheng to come and pick him up.
"Colonel Chen, you must be more careful, don't be too eager to fight, and retreat to the city as early as possible while fighting."
After giving Chen Chuan a few words, Chu Nanzhi did not dare to delay any longer. Looking at the frightened little guys in the carriage, he ordered the groom to rush to the city as fast as he could.
Watching the two carriages go away, Chen Chuan looked around and quickly used his halberd to stab the surrounding boulders. After a burst of sparks, countless boulders rolled down and blocked the mountain road.
Upon seeing this, the dead soldiers of the Zhao family began to chip away at the rocks, and within a short time they built a fortification on the rugged mountain road.
"Follow me and kill the rebels. No one should be allowed to pass through this place."
Chen Chuan waved his hand, and the sergeants behind him rushed forward to fight the pursuing Yizhou First March without hesitation.
Under the light of the fire, Tang Che looked at the figure standing on the high barrier from a distance, and his tired body felt refreshed.
He had long heard about the reputation of this Dahe warrior, but it was a pity that he did not get a chance to fight. Today he finally got the chance. How could he miss the opportunity to kill him? He immediately shouted to the cavalry behind him: "Today is the day for you to make your name."
Now is Li Wan's chance, whoever can kill Chen Chuan will be the first to do so."
For a moment, the crowd was excited, and the sound of fighting on the narrow mountain road was deafening throughout the valley.
The fierce battle lasted for about half a stick of incense. Chen Chuan saw that nearly a hundred dead soldiers and more than ten guards of the Zhao family were all killed. He clenched his halberd and stared fiercely at the Yizhou Army who had already been killed. Then he turned his head.
He glanced in the direction of Anhe County, then turned back, looked straight at Tang Che, and shouted in a loud voice without fear: "With this general here, you can't even think of stepping through this place."
"Chief Lieutenant Chen, you and Princess Pingning are both in my pocket, so why bother to fight fearlessly?"
Tang Che looked confident and stared at Chen Chuan from the horse, with a look of disdain in his eyes: "Even if Princess Pingning can enter Anhe County, the governor of Langzhou and Ji Rongheng will not dare to let her cross the border."
"Where does this nonsense come from."
Chen Chuan kicked out fiercely, and a sharp blade on the ground quickly flew towards Tang Che's horse.
There was only a dull crashing sound, and Tang Che's horse was frightened and jumped up suddenly, causing him to almost fall off the horse.
"court death."
Tang Che ordered the soldiers to rush towards Chen Chuan angrily.
Chen Chuan stood on the high base, wielding his halberd and fighting hard. With a few powerful halberds, he overturned the five or six cavalry vanguard who rushed forward.
Tang Che had no choice but to order the halberd team behind him to rush to the high base and fight hand to hand.
Chen Chuan blocked the crossing alone and killed dozens of people who came forward.
I don't know how long it took, but he saw the blood all around him, and the corpses all over the field were almost piled up into a mountain. However, the deafening sound of horse hooves around him was still slowly gathering towards the valley. His whole body was so weak and weak, and his eyes were groggy.
He turned his head and looked back in the direction of Anhe County again.
Just when he was exhausted, Tang Che kicked off his horse, stepped on the layers of corpses and rushed to Chen Chuan's side, and swung his sword straight towards Chen Chuan's neck.
For a moment, hot blood spattered and spread on the surrounding boulders.
"Chase, keep chasing."
Tang Che carried Chen Chuan's head and continued to move at full speed.
