"Ahead, where is the place ahead? How far is it from my Shouchun?"
After galloping all the way, Yuan Shu, who had long since left the battlefield, was exhausted.
Looking at the lush woods on both sides of the road, Yuan Shu's panic calmed down a little.
Presumably, after running so far, Xiang Yu can't catch up no matter what?
Damn it! Those lowly mud-legged people dare to betray me!
When I return to Shouchun and gather his 300,000 troops, I will kill all these traitors!
Obviously, under the repeated blows, Yuan Shu had fallen into madness.
But just when Yuan Shu was enjoying himself, the thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly came from both sides of the road.
"Who! Who is it? Someone is coming! Go and find out quickly, are my reinforcements coming?"
Yuan Shu did not give up hope.
Because he knew that in Yuzhou, he still had 50,000 troops commanded by his general Qiao Rui. He must have heard that he was competing with Xiang Ji of Xuzhou, so he came to support him, right?
Loyal minister! Great loyal minister!
Although he knew that Xiang Ji had troops between Shouchun and Xiacai, Yuan Shu did not think that the sound of horse hoofbeats was made by Xiang Ji's Xuzhou army.
That mud-legged man has only been a prince for a few days? Can he have such strength? Can he develop cavalry? How is it possible?
Yuan Shu looked down upon Xiang Ji from the bottom of his heart.
Who are the descendants of the overlord of Western Chu? Did you remember the old man Huang hundreds of years ago? Or what kind of background can he have who was defeated by our Han Emperor?
But the sudden loud shout shattered all Yuan Shu's hopes and illusions.
"Changshan Zhao Zilong is here! Yuan Shu, why don't you dismount and surrender!"
A general in silver armor and a white horse holding a gentian gun appeared first in Yuan Shu's eyes.
When Yuan Shu heard that Zhao Yun had signed up for his account, he was shocked.
If his generals don't recognize Zhao Yun, how can he not recognize him?
Isn't this the white-horse Yi Cong who broke out with Xiang Ji at Hulao Pass?
Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly, this army actually has a cavalry unit, and it is led by Zhao Yun.
"Come here, take this kid down for me!"
There are nearly a thousand Yulin troops beside him. Yuan Shu is not afraid of Zhao Yun. Even if there are cavalry behind him, how many can there be?
After receiving Yuan Shu's order, the Yulin Army launched a charge against Zhao Yun.
When he saw the enemy attacking, Zhao Yun did not panic and had a faint smile on his lips.
Just these one thousand defeated soldiers with low morale, and the two thousand Canglong Army who are fighting against me? Are you crazy?
The gentian spear in his hand was raised high, and he waved it downwards at the oncoming imperial guards, and finally pointed the tip of the spear directly at Yuan Shu.
Following Zhao Yun's movements, the sound of horse hooves suddenly shook loudly in the dense forest behind him. Immediately, a large number of cavalry rushed out and launched a one-sided bloody massacre against the stunned imperial guards.
With low morale, poor physical strength, and no numerical advantage, how could the Royal Forest Army be the opponent of the Cang Longqi?
After just a few rounds of charges, all the imperial guards who resisted with weapons turned into corpses.
Seeing the hell-like scene in front of him, Yuan Shu panicked.
"No, you can't kill me.
I am the emperor and the master of this world!
If you kill me, you will be committing regicide, a crime that cannot be tolerated in heaven and earth!"
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Zhao Yun almost laughed out loud.
Regicide? Is this guy crazy? Whose king are you?
Moreover, our lord has already killed the real emperor, let alone you, the fake emperor?
"Emperor? Haha, do you know who killed the emperor of Han Dynasty?"
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Yuan Shu was stunned.
What did he mean by saying that? Wasn't Dong Zhuo the one who killed Emperor Xian? Could it be!?
By the way, Dong Zhuo was killed by Xiang Ji on the way to Chang'an.
So! Could it be!?
From this sentence, Yuan Shu understood a lot.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Looking at the gentian spear that penetrated his chest, Yuan Shu opened his eyes wide and looked up at the sky unwillingly.
I hate it! I hate why there is this damn Xiang Ji! Why couldn't I know the truth about Emperor Xian's death one day earlier!
If, if I could have known earlier, then it would definitely not be my army that would face Xiang Yu!
With endless unwillingness and hatred, Yuan Shu bid farewell to his short imperial career.
Looking at Yuan Shu who fell to the ground and died, Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh.
Is this, perhaps, the second emperor to fall at the hands of the lord?
Although this person was killed by Zhao Yun, wasn't it also because of Xiang Ji's order?
After searching Yuan Shu's body, Zhao Yun did not find the jade seal that Xiang Ji had mentioned to him. It seems that he had not brought the jade seal with him.
After getting on his horse, Zhao Yun did not let the Canglongqi hide anymore.
Now that Yuan Shu has been killed, the battle on the Lord's side should be over, right?
Then, I, Zhao Yun, will wait here for the arrival of the lord.
Xia Cai.
"Lord, the statistics have been completed.
There are still 34,000 of our 50,000-strong army when we set off for the expedition. Excluding the 2,000 Canglongqi that General Zhao Yun took away, our army has a total of 14,000 brothers who will stay here forever."
Looking at Liao Hua with a look of regret on his face, Xiang Ji felt a faint pain in his heart.
These are all my foundation, all the old brothers who have followed me along the way.
But now, they are buried in this place forever.
Brothers, I, Xiang Ji, swear to God here that I will not let your sacrifices go to waste. I will definitely build a brand new dynasty that can make the whole world tremble and be remembered in the history books!
You know, Xiang Ji has never forgotten what happened to the land of China after the unification of the Three Kingdoms.
Hundreds of years of chaos and chaos!
Tens of millions of Han people were almost exterminated.
What a miserable experience this is?
Xiang Ji is not a saint, but since he came to this time and space and this world, why wouldn't he try to make some changes?
"Lord, the statistics of the surrendered Yangzhou troops have also been completed."
Finally, Cui Yan who came this time put Xiang Ji in a good mood again.
Hundreds of thousands of troops. As long as all these hundreds of thousands of troops are digested, won't your own strength increase exponentially?
"According to statistics, a total of 113,000 people surrendered to our army.
There are more than 40,000 people in the east gate who led the uprising against Yuan Shu, and they have been reorganized with our army. As for the remaining lords, who do you think they are?"
Those who took the lead in the uprising were naturally trustworthy, so they had no problem with the generals dispersing and reorganizing their own troops.
But the loyalty of the remaining ones who were persuaded to surrender after attacking other city gates is worth considering.
This is also the reason why the generals asked Cui Yan to come and report. After all, Xiang Ji is the one who makes the decision. In any case, he must look at Xiang Ji's intentions before making a decision.
Upon hearing Cui Yan's question, Xiang Ji knew that he was asking what he should do with the remaining 70,000 people.
To kill, one would certainly not be willing to part with it, and to let go, one would also not be reluctant to part with it.
"What's so difficult about this? Since we have surrendered, we should treat them equally and tell them that from now on, they are all our soldiers, and from now on, I, Xiang Ji, will not let them starve again!"
Xiang Ji smiled boldly at Cui Yan and gave the answer.
