Everyone fell into the water, the water was cold and extremely uncomfortable.
Liu Bang could swim, but in the cold river, countless soldiers fell like dumplings. For a while, he couldn't get away, and he drank several mouthfuls of water, which made him choke extremely uncomfortable.
More and more people are falling into the water.
As the rafts behind them continued to collapse, countless soldiers were thrashing about throughout this section of the river.
After Li Jing fell into the water, he was protected by soldiers, and he knew how to swim. But at this moment, Li Jing's heart sank, because this time it was completely over.
Defeated!
Lost to Wang Can.
He may even follow in the footsteps of Li Xiaogong.
"call!"
Suddenly, a piece of wood flew across the air and hit Li Jing directly on the head.
In an instant, Li Jing fainted.
And many of the other Li Tang soldiers were struggling at this moment and were in trouble.
While the soldiers were struggling, an army was coming quickly with torches on the official road not far away.
The leader is clearly Wang Can.
He led the army from Yuqiu Mountain and arrived at the river bank.
After Wang Can arrived, he came to Mu Guiying's side and saw everything happening on the river bank, with a bright smile on his face.
This time, I made a profit.
Wang Can immediately mobilized his soldiers and ordered the soldiers to intercept Li Tang's soldiers downstream to prevent Li Tang's soldiers from being washed away. Then he continued to order the catapults to bomb. After all the rafts were destroyed, he ordered the soldiers to stop the attack and began to send people to salvage Li Tang who fell into the water.
Soldier.
At this time, all Li and Tang soldiers lost their combat effectiveness.
Three hours later, it was daybreak, and most of the soldiers who fell into the water had been fished out.
Everyone was detained.
Li Jing and Liu Bang were also discovered. In addition, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin and others were also discovered and controlled.
The army escorted * and Han soldiers and retreated to Chengdu.
After arriving in Chengdu, the army was stationed.
Chinese army tent.
Wang Can sat on the main seat and ordered people to invite Li Jing into the big tent.
He did not summon Liu Bang immediately, because Wang Can did not even have any intention of recruiting Liu Bang to surrender. As long as Liu Bang was there, those who were subordinate to Liu Bang might resist stubbornly and be unwilling to submit.
Wang Can's first plan was to kill Liu Bang.
The method of dealing with Liu Bang was very simple, but Wang Can was quite approving of Li Jing.
Li Jing is a great god.
This is the first person in the military.
If Li Jing can be recruited and surrendered, the benefits will be great.
Li Jing had now put on clean and thick clothes and freshened up. When he saw Wang Can, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he said: "The Emperor of Shu set up a series of plans to wait for me to retreat through the waterway. He is really clever."
Wang Can said: "Li Gong was so complimentary."
After a pause, Wang Can said seriously: "Now that Mr. Li has been defeated, are you willing to submit to me? With Mr. Li's ability, he should be able to do something even greater. In our country of Shu, I can give Mr. Li this broad platform."
"
Li Jing chuckled and said: "I would like to ask the Emperor Shu. As an old man, do you dare to submit to you? I have followed the emperor for decades. I have a brotherly relationship and an irreversible relationship. Under such circumstances, I will submit directly to you.
, do you dare to use it?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Wang Can replied with a chuckle.
Li Jing said: "It's easier said than done. This is not something that can be easily handled."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Actually, it is easier said than done. As long as Mr. Li surrenders to me, then I am ready to let Mr. Li set up a military academy alone and teach in the academy. As for leading the troops to fight.
, there is no need for Li Gong to take action for the time being. Especially against Li Tang, I am afraid that Li Gong cannot face it. Therefore, the arrangements I give for meritorious service are what Li Gong can complete."
"The Emperor of Shu is quite smart!"
Li Jing sighed in admiration and said: "It's just that I let the Emperor of Shu down. I have followed His Majesty for more than ten years. Counting the time in my previous life, I am afraid it is even longer. My roots are in the Tang Dynasty, and my family are all in the Tang Dynasty.
My heart is even more devoted to the Tang Dynasty. My whole body has long been integrated with the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible to separate it. I appreciate the kindness of Emperor Shu."
"well……"
Wang Can sighed: "Mr. Li, why are you doing this?"
Li Jing said: "If it were the Emperor of Shu who encountered my current situation, how would the Emperor of Shu face it?"
Wang Can said: "If it were me, I would know that those who understand current affairs are heroes."
Li Jing said: "You are joking."
The expression on his face became more and more serious, and he said seriously: "Emperor Shu, my attitude has been made clear. Whether you want to kill or behead him, please do as you please."
Wang Can said seriously: "Mr. Li, you are sure of me, won't you kill me?"
Li Jing said: "I fall into your hands. Life and death are in your hands. Whether to kill or not is a matter of your own thoughts. What to do is up to you."
"That's it, that's it!"
Wang Can sighed and ordered: "Come here!"
The two soldiers entered the camp, clasped their fists in salute, and waited quietly for Wang Can's instructions.
Wang Can said: "Take Li Jing down and take good care of him. Don't neglect him."
"Here!"
After the soldiers received the order, Li Jing retreated.
After Li Jing withdrew, Wang Can ordered people to bring Cheng Yaojin in.
Although Cheng Yaojin's achievements are not as good as Li Jing's, and Cheng Yaojin's ability is not as outstanding as Li Jing's. But in fact, Cheng Yaojin is also a brave and strategic man, and he is a general in the army.
Wang Can did not go around in circles, and glanced at Cheng Yaojin, who had his head held high, his eyes sharp, and a fierce look, and said: "Cheng Yaojin, are you willing to submit to me?"
"willing!"
Cheng Yaojin answered directly.
Wang Can was stunned for a moment, but Cheng Yaojin's straightforward answer was a bit unexpected.
The next moment, Cheng Yaojin continued: "I lied to you. How could I, old Cheng, submit to you? Even if Li Tang is overthrown, I cannot submit to you. Of course, Li Tang cannot be overthrown, and your king
Can, will eventually be placed in the hands of His Majesty. Your victory now is only temporary. When Your Majesty recovers, he will definitely kill you."
When Wang Can heard this, a shadow flashed across his eyes.
Although he admired Cheng Yaojin's talents and hoped to recruit Cheng Yaojin, he was not as eager as Li Jing for Cheng Yaojin.
Li Jing was the military god of the Tang Dynasty.
His abilities are extremely outstanding.
Wang Can was able to ambush Li Jing this time, which actually gave him a huge advantage. If Wang Can hadn't destroyed Li Jing's ship first when ambushing Liu Bang, he would not have been able to completely gain the advantage.
If we hadn't mastered the topographic map of Yuqiu Mountain first, we wouldn't have been able to succeed.
Everything is linked together.
As long as there is a problem in any link, it will be extremely difficult to eliminate Li Jing.
Therefore, if Wang Can wants to recruit Li Jing to surrender, even if Li Jing is unwilling to submit, Wang Can is willing to entertain him with good food and drinks. After defeating Li Tang, Li Jing will have no one to be loyal to, and Li Jing will automatically submit to him.
But Wang Can didn't have the patience for Cheng Yaojin.
Wang Can rolled his eyes and thought about how to deal with it. If he killed Cheng Yaojin directly, it would have no effect at all except making Li Shimin feel sad.
At least, Cheng Yaojin’s role must be brought into play.
Suddenly, Wang Can's plan came to his mind. With a smile on his lips, he said: "Cheng Yaojin, I just summoned Li Jing, and he has expressed his willingness to submit. Li Jing is willing to submit, why do you have to show off?"
"impossible!"
Cheng Yaojin replied directly: "I know the kind of person Mr. Li is. He is loyal to His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty, and there is no way he could submit to you. Wang Can, there is no use in deceiving me."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Li Jing's original intention was not to surrender. However, under my coercion, he had no choice at all. I told him that if he was unwilling to surrender, I would kill all the prisoners*
Soldier."
"Tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, all because of Li Jing's thoughts. What choice do you think Li Jing will make?"
"Besides, I also said two things."
"First, I said that if Li Jing does not surrender, I will kill you and Su Dingfang and publicize it to the outside world. This is what Li Jing did to survive."
"Second, I will arrange for people to go to Xiangyang and bring Li Jing's family to Chengdu first. This will confirm the news of Li Jing's surrender and make him unable to retreat."
Wang Can said: "Under such circumstances, Li Jing has no choice. Now, Li Jing has surrendered. Cheng Yaojin, are you really unwilling to surrender?"
Cheng Yaojin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Wang Can, you are despicable and shameless."
"Shameless?"
Wang Can smiled and said: "The two armies are fighting each other, each showing off his or her abilities. If I hadn't captured you, but you had defeated me, I'm afraid you would be the arrogant one. On the battlefield, the only thing that can be said is victory or defeat.
There is no other despicable thing to say."
"you……"
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he was speechless.
In fact, this is indeed the case. When fighting on the battlefield, the two armies each have their own master. In order to defeat the other side, they will constantly use various strategies. This is the most common thing.
Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath and said loudly: "Wang Can, even if Mr. Li surrenders to you, I, Cheng Yaojin, have decided to follow the emperor. Whether it is in my previous life, this life, or the next life, I will
Cheng Yaojin is the Emperor's servant in life and will be the Emperor's ghost in death, and will never betray him."
When Wang Can heard this, his expression changed slightly.
He successively recruited Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin to surrender, but both of them refused. They were both loyal to Li Shimin and extremely pious to Li Tang, and they would rather die than surrender.
From this aspect, it proves Li Tang's cohesion.
Wang Can didn't think there was anything wrong with Cheng Yaojin's refusal to submit. He had a plan in mind and gritted his teeth and said: "Cheng Yaojin, are you really not willing to submit? If you don't submit, you will die."
Cheng Yaojin said: "I swear to the death that I will not surrender!"
Wang Can snorted and said: "If you don't surrender, I will force you to surrender. I will arrange for people to go to Xiangyang and take your family away first, creating the illusion that you have surrendered and betrayed Li Shimin. Arrive.
Time depends on how you conduct yourself."
"You are shameless!"
Cheng Yaojin yelled and cursed loudly.
When he looked at Wang Can, his eyes widened with hatred and murderous intent, and he wished he could kill Wang Can immediately. (To be continued)
