Jizhou City is very close to the capital and is considered an important defensive location, so Dongfang Chen remembers the names of the generals here very clearly.
However, none of the young generals on the tower moved or made a sound.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong! Could it be that Qiang Yuqin has surrendered to the rebels?" A gray-headed general said with a worried look. They had encountered many similar situations along the way.
Dongfang Chen's face darkened, and when he looked at the guard on the tower, his eyes suddenly had murderous intent: "Bold slaves, don't you dare to resist the order?"
However, everyone on the city wall remained silent and did not speak to each other.
How did Dongfang Chen know that this Qiang Yuqin was the father of the former Qiang Meiren? Dongfang Xu helped Qiang Meiren get married to Lin Wenlong. The Qiang family and the Lin family were already brothers-in-law, and this time they were even more closely related. Naturally, they were on the same boat.
As comrades in arms, when Lin Qishan decided to join Dongfang Xu's camp, he also wrote letters of persuasion to surrender to many close families, including Qiang Yuqin. Of course, Bai Ruoxi also wrote letters of persuasion to surrender to her close family members.
Therefore, along the way, defections within Dongfangchen's camp continued, and the guards in the city also rebelled constantly. This can be said to be one of the important reasons why Dongfangxu has continued to win and Dongfangchen has been retreating steadily during this period.
"Your Majesty, let's leave as soon as possible, lest the rebels and Qiang Yuqin unite, and then we will be attacked from both sides." A counselor beside him suggested.
Dongfang Chen gritted his teeth, then waved his hand and said: "Let's go!"
After fleeing all night, Dongfang Chen and the remaining soldiers led by him were very tired and wanted to find a place to rest and eat. They thought they could take a rest and take a breath when they arrived at Jizhou City. Unexpectedly, the guard here had already surrendered to the rebels.
military.
When he thought of this, Dongfang Chen was so angry that he wanted to pull Qiang Yuqin's skin.
Dongfang Chenqiang cheered up and led the tired people to prepare to go south.
However, just as his army turned around and before they could even take a step forward, they heard a cry of killing coming from behind. When they turned around to look, their legs weakened with fear.
They saw the gates on all sides of Jizhou City were wide open, and groups of brightly-armored soldiers rushed out under the leadership of a handsome middle-aged general and rushed towards them.
Dongfang Chen's eyes were bloodshot with anger. He turned his horse's head and ordered everyone to turn around. Then he rushed to the front of the team, looked at the middle-aged general and said, "Qiang Yuqin, you dare to rebel?!"
"Dongfang Chen, you are unkind to me. What I do is just to comply with God's will." Qiang Yuqin said expressionlessly.
"Okay! Very good! Today, I will let you know the consequences of being a traitor." Dongfang Chen finished speaking coldly, then raised his right hand, "Everyone listen to the order and follow me to capture the traitor."
After saying that, Dongfang Chen took the lead in attacking Qiang Yuqin.
Dongfang Chen had been suppressed and beaten by Dongfang Xu all the way, and he had already accumulated a lot of anger. Now, seeing Qiang Yuqin dare to ignore his majesty and openly rebel, the anger in his chest suddenly found an outlet and spurted out...
Because of this anger, Dongfang Chen, who was exhausted, suddenly burst out with astonishing strength, beating Qiang Yuqin to the point where he was defeated. However, because Qiang Yuqin was facing the former monarch, he was a little weak, so when he tried to parry,
More, less time to attack.
Seeing Dongfang Chen's bravery, the other soldiers immediately gained strength and rushed towards Qiang Yuqin like tigers and wolves.
The two sides were evenly matched, so a close melee began.
