Chapter 696
When Zhuge Liang was in full swing to recruit talents in Xiliang, Zhao Kuangyin finally received the news that the Mongolian army had been defeated in Xiliang in Yecheng, Jizhou.

In Jizhou, Yuan Shao was defeated and died a long time ago, and Zhao Kuangyin was also unable to support himself, so he stationed troops in Yecheng.The purpose was to wait and see the situation in Xiliang. If the Mongolian army won a big victory, he would send troops to attack Liu Bian and seize the opportunity to seize Jizhou.

And the Mongolian army was defeated, and it didn't make any sense for him to be in Yecheng.

Zhao Kuangyin summoned all the generals to discuss the matter of withdrawing troops.

The counselors on the left are headed by Zhao Pu, Cui Hao, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and others.

The generals on the right are led by Zhao Guangyi, Xu Chu, Hou Junji, Yuexi, Shi Wansui, Yang Dayan, Yu Jin, Li Dian and others.In addition, there are Du Xue, Li Kui, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and other Liangshan factions.

Zhao Kuangyin took the high seat and looked around at the generals below. Under Zhao Kuangyin's gaze, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others were a little cautious.Song Jiang held on to Li Kui tightly. In such a big scene, Li Kui should not be allowed to be presumptuous, and if he didn't pay attention, he might be killed.

Zhao Kuangyin looked around, sighed and said, "I have received news that the Mongolian army has been defeated in Xiliang, and fled back to Mobei. Cao Cao's army has captured Yumen Pass and marched into the Western Regions!"

The generals were terrified, and Zhao Pu said in amazement: "How is it possible? The Mongolian and Yizhou troops have a total of 25 soldiers and horses, and the Han army is only combined with 15 soldiers and horses. With such a huge gap, even if the Mongolian soldiers and horses cannot win a big victory, they will not win." Defeat, why did you lose the Yumen Pass? Is the news of the lord wrong?"

Zhao Kuangyin said in a deep voice: "I have confirmed again and again, there is no mistake! The reason why Mongolia was defeated was because they extorted money in the Western Regions. The Han army took advantage of this and secretly persuaded the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions to rebel. As a result, Mongolia There is a flaw in the army, and it is defeated!"

"The Mongols really can't have high hopes!" Xu Chu clenched his fists and said angrily.

This time, they placed high hopes on the Mongols. However, the Mongols were still defeated even with an army of [-] more, which annoyed the generals.

The next time Li Kui wanted to scold the Mongols, but Song Jiang held him back and scolded him in a low voice: "If you say something more today, the elder brother will die in front of you!"

"If you don't say it, don't say it, how can you talk about death in a good way!" Li Kui murmured.

"Above the main hall, how can you wait for the noise?" Zhao Guangyi frowned, looked at Song Jiang and others and shouted coldly.

Originally, Zhao Guangyi hated Li Kui, but later he followed Wu Yong's suggestion and went to fight against Yin and returned in defeat.Zhao Kuangyin scolded him when he came back, so Zhao Guangyi hated Wu Yong.Everyone was talking about it, but when Zhao Guangyi heard what Li Kui said, he deliberately scolded them to embarrass them.

Li Kui was furious, and immediately broke free from Song Jiang, and scolded Zhao Guangyi: "You bastard, everyone is talking about it, why don't you let me say it!"

Zhao Guangyi sneered and said: "All the generals are talking about the military situation, I heard you said irrelevant things, can't you reprimand them?"

"How do you know that I said something irrelevant?" Li Kui rolled his eyes and said, "My brother and I are also discussing military affairs!"

The corner of Zhao Guangyi's mouth twitched: "In this case, I want to hear what military situation you are talking about!"

Song Jiang was afraid that Li Kui would say something outrageous, so he hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Second General, don't blame me, my younger brother is rude..."

Zhao Guangyi stared, and said coldly: "Hustle? He has been rude to me several times, and I will bear it again and again. Now you are officers and soldiers, not bandits. If you step back, I want to hear what you are discussing." Military situation!"

Zhao Kuangyin looked on coldly, he knew that Zhao Guangyi was dealing with Liangshan people, and Song Jiang, Li Kui, Wu Yong and others on Liangshan would be troublesome after all.Zhao Kuangyin also wanted to eliminate future troubles, so he didn't stop him.

Everyone looked at Li Kui, and Li Kui's face turned red when he was forced to, but there was no difference between a black face.Li Kui rolled his eyes and said: "My brother and I are saying that the Mongols are useless and have ruined our major events. What can we call success and failure?"

"Oh, the Mongols are useless, how do you treat them?" Zhao Guangyi sneered.

"Hmph, who am I, Li Kui, afraid of with a pair of axes? Look, I'm going to chop off that guy Liu Bian's head right now!" Li Kui made a gesture and wanted to go out.

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Kuangyin called to Li Kui, looked at the people in Liangshan and said, "Since you are such a hero, I am very pleased. Now that I have decided to retreat, I will leave it to you Liangshan troops to take over!"

"What's so difficult about this?" Li Kui shouted: "After I, Li Kui, kill anyone who dares to come up, I will kill him!"

"Haha, that's very good. Song Jiang and Du Xue will decide to withdraw their troops tomorrow, and you will lead the troops of the Liangshan Headquarters to end the rear!" Zhao Kuangyin stroked his beard and laughed.

"Promise!" Song Jiang, Du Xue, Wu Yong and others stepped forward, but they had no choice but to accept the order.

"Go down and get ready!" Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand, and after the generals of Liangshan went down, Cui Hao came out and reminded: "Master, Liangshan's troops are capricious, let them be cut off, although the disaster of Liangshan has been solved, it is necessary to prevent them from surrendering to Han. military!"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "I also guess that they will be like this, Xu Chu, Shi Wansui, Yue Xi, the three of you lead [-] soldiers and horses to retreat, Hou Junji, Zhao Pu, Cui Hao, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, and the second brother , you and I are the former army! Yu Jin, Cao Ning, Yang Dayan, Li Dian, Hou Junjier and others are the central army!"

"No!" All the generals in the hall bowed their hands and took orders.

That night, Song Jiang, Du Xue, Wu Yong, Li Kui and others gathered together, and Song Jiang said bitterly, "Tie Niu, you have caused a catastrophe today!"

"Brother, I, Tieniu, can't be more angry than Zhao Guangyi, I can't wait to kill him with an axe!" Li Kui said angrily.

Wu Yong said angrily: "You bastard, I told you not to talk, don't talk. You just didn't listen. Now that the lord tells us to cut off the queen, it's obvious that you want us to die. You have harmed not only us, but Liangshan as well." Brother Wan!"

"I..." Li Kui's tone faltered.

"Military division, what can you do?" Song Jiang looked at Wu Yong and asked.

"Now we have to surrender to the Han army. Zhao Kuangyin's subordinates don't like us. Even if he escapes and returns to Yanzhou, he will be disadvantageous to us. It's better to surrender to the big man directly!" He gritted his teeth and said.

"Alright!" Song Jiang nodded: "We helped them in the battle of Qingzhou back then, and if we wanted to join the big man, they wouldn't do anything to us. We don't want us to be rich, at least we must save our brothers' lives!"

On Liu Bian's side, he had long expected that Zhao Kuangyin would lead his troops back to Yanzhou, so he prepared his troops for battle.

Xue Rengui, Yue Fei, Wu Yunzhao and other generals led [-] cavalry to be ready at all times. As soon as Zhao Kuangyin's troops retreated, they would immediately pursue them.

Early the next morning, Song Jiang Du Xue and others led troops out of the city first, while Zhao Kuangyin led the main force out of the east gate.On the side of the Han army, Yue Fei, Xue Rengui, Wu Yunzhao and others led the cavalry to rush out, heading straight for Liangshan soldiers and horses.

Song Jiang adjusted his army appearance, urged his horses out with Du Xue, Li Kui, Wu Yong and others, came to the front of the army and dismounted: "General, wait a while and charge into battle, I will wait for Liangshan soldiers and horses to surrender!"

Compared with Yue Fei, Xue Rengui was more murderous, he frowned slightly and said: "Surrender at this juncture, there must be fraud, don't worry about him, let's rush to kill him!"

But Yue Fei stopped him and said: "I heard that Liangshan's men and horses are at odds with Zhao's army. Maybe it's not true that they will surrender. Your Majesty will lead the army behind and report to His Majesty before making a decision!"

Xue Rengui pondered for a while and said: "Since there is such a relationship, let's report to His Majesty. Yun Zhao, hurry up and report to Your Majesty!"

"No!" Wu Yun summoned his flying horse to go away, but after a while, he met the main force led by Liu Bian, and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhao Jun has [-] descendants. He claims to be Liangshan soldiers and horses. Now he has decided to surrender. May I ask your Majesty how to deal with it?" ?”

"Among Liangshan, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, etc. are villains, Li Kui is a killer, only Du Xue is available. You go and inform Xue Rengui and Yue Fei, and leave Du Xue behind, let Song Jiang, Li Kui, Wu Yong, etc. lead an army to pursue them Zhao Kuangyin!" Liu Bian gave an order after pondering.

"No!" Wu Yunzhao urged the horse back again, and reported to Yue Fei and Xue Rengui.

Upon receiving Liu Bian's order, Xue Rengui hurried forward and asked, "Among you, who is Du Xue!"

Du Xuehu came out suspiciously, cupped his hands and said: "General, the last general is Du Xue. I'm waiting for my surrender. I don't know if Your Majesty will accept it or not?"

"Your Majesty has accepted your surrender and ordered you to lead the troops to pursue Zhao Kuangyin's main force, and Du Xue stayed behind to obey!" Xue Rengui said coldly.

"Promise!" Du Xue got on his horse and came to Xue Rengui's army. Xue Rengui Fang Tian pointed his halberd and pointed at Song Jiang. Mistake. If you don’t pursue it with all your strength, it will be regarded as a false surrender and you will be killed!”

Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others looked at each other with bitterness on their faces.But now that the cavalry is in the front, if they don't pursue with all their strength, it will inevitably lead to the cavalry rushing to kill.Both left and right are dead, it is better to pursue Zhao Kuangyin, when the time comes, there will be cavalry escorts, maybe they can find a way out.

"Brothers, Zhao Kuangyin is a treacherous minister of the great man. Now we will join His Majesty and become the heavenly soldiers of the great man. Come with me to fight and take down Zhao Kuangyin!" Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others got on their horses and went to chase Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Jun's rear army, Xu Chu, Yuexi, Shi Wansui and others cut off the rear.The soldiers flew to report: "Several generals, the Liangshan bandits have surrendered to the Han army, and they are coming to our army!"

"Haha, as expected by my lord, Liangshan's men and horses dared to surrender to the Han army. Brothers, follow me to meet the enemy!" Xu Chu immediately shouted coldly.

But for a long time, I saw Song Jiang from a distance, and Li Kui and others led their troops to charge and kill.Song Jiang looked away and saw that it was Xu Chu, Yuexi, Shi Wansui and others who were behind him. He was frightened out of his wits: "Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyin kept a hand, and the three of them will kill the queen!"

"Brother, let's hide in the middle army quickly, so as not to cause death!" Wu Yong hurriedly urged his horse to go to the middle army, Song Jiang hurriedly followed, but Li Kui brandished the pair of axes and said angrily: "Xu Chu, What is there to be afraid of Yuexi, let them taste the iron bull's axe!"
