On the eighth day of the attack on Xincai, the mentality of the entire "Rebel Army" was very good. Even Commissioner Li himself was a little looking forward to what kind of decision the unlucky people in the city would make.
However, the civil strife in the city did not occur, because early the next morning, messengers brought a large number of representatives of the wealthy families in Xincai City to the bank of Ru River.
"Sheep's tongue is begging for peace."
Yun Zhenlu was very happy. In this way, he would have two or three contributions to Li Jie.
Now of course, they are not as good as those crocodile men and brave men. Who can say for sure when the next generation comes?
As soon as Yun Zhenlu finished speaking, he saw that a large number of Cai people had arrived.
The bank of Ru River suddenly became very lively.
The weather is still very hot, but compared to Xinchai City, which is within easy reach, no matter how hot it is, it can't heat up the excitement.
"Shou Li, this guy has been holding on for so long. He doesn't seem to give up so easily."
Unlike the scholar-bureaucrats, Sha Heng's thinking mode is a bit weird. Of course Commissioner Li thinks the same way, and he doesn't think Yang Tongue will give up easily.
However, Li Jie had another guess: "Under the coercion of Xincai's wealthy family, it's hard for a sheep's tongue to support itself."
Shaheng nodded slightly, feeling that this explanation was quite acceptable.
Soon, representatives of the Shen family, the Yang family, the Shui family and other families followed Xincai's envoys and came to Li Jie's place.
Just as they were about to negotiate, there was a sudden noise in Xinchai City in the distance. After a while, it seemed that a large number of Chinese people from the city rushed out.
Immediately afterwards, thick smoke billowed, and soon, gray and black smoke intertwined there, and soon there were red flames rising into the sky.
"Um?!"
Li Jie's eyes widened and he immediately shouted, "Fuck!"
In the north of Xincai City, Yang Tongue was commanding back and forth. A large number of livestock and vehicles were intertwined among them. Cai's soldiers were extremely nervous.
"Now that the Wu people are persecuting us, since we cannot coexist with Xincai, we will continue to plant seeds for you. When we are united with the reinforcements, we can capture Xincai again."
With a loud shout, Yang Tongue even encouraged the soldiers, "Whoever achieves peace will be rewarded with a piece of cloth."
This journey is an escape, but since it is an escape, I must run as fast as I can.
The entire team carried a large amount of supplies, and the accompanying officers knew exactly what was contained in each box.
With these huge funds, we can still recruit a large army when we reach Pingyu.
If Shouxincai cannot be defended any longer, then continue to retreat. If Li Jie catches up to Pingyu, he will be able to recover at that time.
And Li Jie, who got Xincai, couldn't just watch Xincai collapse. That's how determined he was!
At the moment of the negotiation, the entire Xincai suddenly fell into a collapse, chaos broke out, and countless cries were heard.
Those Xincai wealthy families who were ready to make a move didn't care so much at the moment. They immediately closed their doors and armed themselves to protect themselves.
In the chaos, who knows if the rampaging guys outside will be bold enough.
This kind of chaos has resulted in organized forces being unable to exert their influence at all. In addition, there are people fanning the flames everywhere. At least one fifth to sixty-sixth of the entire Xincai is burning with smoke and fire.
"What a sheep tongue humeral!"
Li Jie had to admit that this guy was really ruthless!
As expected, Yang Tongue is doomed. Burning the city can be done, but it cannot be done by the important ministers who stayed behind. Burning the monarch's home is not a big deal.
What's more, even if Marquis Cai knew that this was Yang Tongue's loyalty, how could the other noble ministers who all have properties in Xincai not hate Yang Tongue? How could they let him go?!
"Hard enough!"
Li Jie exclaimed in admiration, it was really not easy for such a ruthless man to be willing to be a dog for Marquis Cai.
"General! At this moment..."
Seeing that Li Jie was still commenting on Yang Tongue very calmly, Yun Zhenlu became anxious and wanted to persuade Li Jie to quickly chase after Yang Tongue who set fire to Xincai and then ran away.
However, Li Jie raised his hand and interrupted: "No, if Yang Tongue Gong is determined, let him go."
Seeing Li Jie's behavior, Yun Zhenlu also calmed down. He was a little anxious just now, so he didn't think carefully about the operation of the sheep's tongue and arm.
But now he has come to his senses. If he pursues Yang Tongue, it will be difficult to catch up. The water floods Xincai. It is not only disgusting for the Cai people, but also for the "rebels". It is also quite disgusting at this moment. They have to catch up and run away.
There is no way, and it is unlikely that he acted deliberately.
It would have been possible if it had been a "ten-fold siege" situation, but in fact Li Jie didn't have enough troops at hand, and his previous actions in Rubei were just to let Chen An wander around and make Cai Guo's hinterland a little nervous.
Already quite a wealthy operation.
In fact, the main event is still with Chu State. After the Dou clan of Chu State is dealt with, we can really breathe a sigh of relief.
But a righteous man is never an iron man, and his willpower and determination are far inferior to those of his direct descendants, brave men. They need to take turns to rest. After three battles and three victories on both sides of the Huai River, they are already quite exhausted. Compared with the "Arrow-bearing Soldiers"
The two contests were basically draining of physical energy.
At this moment, another large-scale pursuit would certainly bring benefits, but it would be a life-threatening waste and unnecessary.
Starting from forcing Yang Guo to shout slogans to punish Cai Guo, and capturing Xincai, even if the task is successfully completed, the political success will be far more generous than the small gain of chasing Yang Tongue.
Yun Zhenlu had just realized that Xincai was the capital of Cai State, and realized that whether he could get the sheep's tongue and humerus was trivial compared to it.
"Get ready to put out the fire."
Li Jie, who looked calm, issued the order and had no intention of meeting the Shen, Yang, Shui and other Xincai families.
After turning around, Li Jie said to Sha Heng again: "You personally led the team and encountered someone who took advantage of the situation..."
The palm of his hand turned into a knife and he swiped it back and forth. When Sha Heng saw this, he immediately said: "Yes!"
"Send the news of the capture of Xincai back to Gusu!"
"yes!"
Li Jie defeated the capital of Cai State. This news was sent back to Gusu. It was definitely super exciting news, especially now that Wu King Gouchen was launching a war to destroy Vietnam. This news was the most powerful shot in the arm!
At the same time, Cai Mei, the doctor of Shang Cai, suggested that Li Jie immediately make a notice to Huai Shang to publicize the "rebel army"'s punishment of the "unjust country" Cai Guo.
When preaching, you should also bring "pedestrians" from Xu State with you.
All things going hand in hand, Cai Xi, the Pingyu Secretary, even wrote a soft article praising Jiang Yinzi of the Wu State for "drawing his sword to help" the Xu State.
The soft article is not long, and the main targets are Zheng Guo and Zhou Guo.
Luoyi has the most trolls, and the city with the most spies in the world is Luoyi.
As long as Cai Xi's admonishment of Pingyu Sikou appears in Luoyi, the effect is quite astonishing, especially now that Zheng State still occupies Xu State's territory, and the "rebel army" has traveled thousands of miles to fight, and has defeated three border towns of Chu State along the way.
, just to support Xu Guo, what kind of internationalist spirit is this?!
Regardless of whether Marquis Cai is going to Zheng Guo to recruit troops, at least in terms of international public opinion, the big country must have some face. If the effect is good, maybe Zheng Guo will spit out Xu Guo first due to public opinion.
Endure the calmness for a while and digest it later.
"General! Follow the country's great officials to seek an audience."
"It's time to meet, we can't keep putting it off."
Li Jie laughed loudly, cheered up and said, "I wonder if Princess Sui came here together. I heard she is stunningly beautiful, tsk tsk."
