Chapter 752 One man in charge
Tang Yi learned that Chu Nanzhi's mother and son had escaped from the Yizhou River section in the evening. Although he was furious, he couldn't question Sun Boren before capturing Chu Nanzhi.
In the eyes of everyone, King Qinghe is powerful, even with the reputation of rebellion, he is invincible.
But in his opinion, King Pingning should not be underestimated either. After all, this person was ordered to enter King Jingqin, and someone would respond, and there must be a fierce battle between the two.
At this time, he had to leave a way out for himself.
Whether Sun Boren is the mother and son of Princess Pingning who let go intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Jinxiao will always be grateful for this kindness.
After careful consideration, Tang Yi only dismissed Sun Boren from his official position, and then appointed 50,000 cavalry to go straight to the border of Langzhou.
As soon as the army arrived in Chenluan County, they saw a group of sergeants rushing back from outside the city in disgrace.
Seeing that they were sent to hunt down Xie Jingchen with his nephew Tang Che, Tang Yi asked anxiously: "What happened, where is General Che?"
"Reporting to Lord Inspector, we encountered an ambush in the valley on the way to Zhoukang County. General Che was leading people to fight fiercely with the bandit army, and the special commander came back to ask for help."
"It's unreasonable, there are people who dare to rebel under the governor's rule."
Tang Yi gritted his teeth in anger, ordered the army to advance at full speed, and hurried to Zhoukang County to rescue Tang Che.
When he arrived at Yufudi, Tang Che was sweeping the battlefield with only 2,000 remnants of soldiers. Looking up at the valley, corpses were strewn all over the field. Looking at the situation, his nephew had already repelled the ambush army.
Tang Yi didn't know why and asked: "Who dares to be so presumptuous?"
"It's from Baiyu."
Tang Che sighed sadly: "I don't know why there are Baiyu people here, and there are as many as 3,000 people, all of them are agile. Fortunately, I wiped them all out, but it's a pity that I didn't find that person." Thank you for the trace of the prince."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Tang Yi suspiciously.
Tang Yi saw that his nephew suspected that he was colluding with the Baiyu people, and quickly explained: "I heard that the Baiyu people have arranged a lot of secret work in my court, and it must be for the purpose of supporting Prince Xie."
Afraid that he would continue to hold on to this matter, Tang Yi immediately turned around and said: "I have received news that Princess Pingning has fled from the Jinglu Canal to the border of Langzhou. Che'er, please quickly count the troops and follow me to hunt her down." .”
"Really escaped from the water?"
Tang Che's heart was extremely complicated at this time.
If King Qinghe had listened to him earlier, why would he have let the woman escape? She would have been arrested and returned to Jingling City if she never reached Yizhou.
It’s just that the Yizhou Navy has thousands of people anyway, how could they let them go easily?
He asked very angrily: "Uncle, are all the sailors under your command vegetarians? Just watched people leave the country?"
"Che'er, you have been following King Qinghe for many years, you should know his temperament better than me."
Tang Yi held his horsewhip tightly, and looked at him meaningfully: "Since Your Highness has already predicted that Princess Pingning will not escape by water, if you make your own decision and mobilize people to search along the river, even if you catch Princess Pingning, it will be a shame in Your Highness's heart." It will only lead to a reputation for being arbitrary and unruly."
After a few seconds of silence, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Your Highness has led the army for many years, and he hates those who refuse to obey his orders the most. Since he concluded that the person came from the capital by land, he did not hesitate to send five groups of cavalry to chase after him. In the end, you were on the water. If you catch someone, wouldn't it embarrass him, and he will only be on guard against you in the future."
It was also a word that awakened the dreamer, which immediately reminded Tang Che.
King Qinghe was born to be proud of his talents, very conceited, and he hated the people under him showing off their cleverness.
"Quickly follow me to catch up with Princess Pingning."
Tang Yi looked in the direction of Zhoukang County with deep eyes: "They only passed through the Yizhou River section at noon, so they must not go far. We can bypass Zhoukang County and intercept them at the border of Langzhou."
Paused, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Even if you can't get anyone, His Highness will at most be furious, thinking that he made a mistake, but he will not take his anger on you and me."
Having received his uncle's advice, Tang Che stopped arguing and obediently got on his horse and followed him to Zhoukang County.
The ship was moored at the pier in Zhoukang County, and Chu Nanzhi didn't dare to stay for a moment, and led the whole family to Anhe County in a hurry.
Hired two carriages in a village on the outskirts of the county, lit torches and continued to travel along the rugged mountain road.
Seeing that they were about to enter Anhe County, they heard the deafening sound of horseshoes coming from everywhere.
Chen Chuan realized that it was the Yizhou iron cavalry who were chasing after him, and immediately ordered Tang Weiming: "Mr. Tang, you **** the princess and the little princess into the city first, and I will stop here."
Although Chu Nanzhi was very sure that Ji Rongheng would not hand herself over to the Yizhou Army, Anhe County was a tiny city after all, and it was still some distance away from Langzhou City. She had to rush to the city immediately to discuss countermeasures with Hu Maoxi. Waiting for Ji Rongheng to come to meet him.
"Lieutenant Chen, you must be careful, don't love to fight, fight and retreat to the city earlier."
After telling Chen Chuan a few words, Chu Nanzhi didn't dare to delay any longer. Looking at the frightened little guys in the carriage, she ordered the groom to rush to the city as fast as he could.
Watching the two carriages go away, Chen Chuan looked around, and quickly stabbed the surrounding boulders with a long halberd. After a flash of sparks, countless boulders rolled down and blocked the mountain road.
Seeing this, the dead soldiers of the Zhao family began to chisel the rocks one after another, and built a fortification on the rugged mountain road in a short while.
"Follow me to kill the rebels, and don't let a single person walk through this place."
Chen Chuan waved his big hand, and the soldiers behind him went up to the chasing Yizhou advance army without hesitation.
Under the light of the fire, from a distance away, Tang Che looked at the figure standing on the high fort, and his tired body was refreshed.
He had heard about the reputation of this big hero for a long time, but it was a pity that he had no chance to fight. He finally got the chance today. How could he miss the chance to kill him? Now is the chance, whoever can kill Chen Chuan will take the lead."
All of a sudden, the crowd was excited, and on the narrow mountain road, the deafening sound of fighting resounded through the valley.
After about half a stick of incense, Chen Chuan watched nearly a hundred dead soldiers and more than ten guards of the Zhao family all die in battle. He held his halberd tightly and stared fiercely at the Yizhou army, who had already been killed red-eyed, and turned his head again. Glancing in the direction of Anhe County, then turned around, looked straight at Tang Che, and yelled sharply without fear: "With this general here, you don't want to step over here."
"Lieutenant Chen, you and Princess Pingning are both in my pocket, why do you have to fight fearlessly again."
Tang Che looked confident, and immediately stared at Chen Chuan, his eyes full of disdain: "Even if Princess Pingning can enter Anhe County, the governor of Langzhou and Ji Rongheng dare not let her cross the border."
"Where's the nonsense."
Chen Chuan kicked fiercely, and a sharp knife on the ground flew towards Tang Che's horse.
Only hearing a dull crash, Tang Che's mount was frightened and jumped up suddenly, causing him to almost fall off the horse.
"Looking for death."
Tang Che furiously ordered the soldiers to rush towards Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan stood on the high base, brandishing his long halberd to fight hard, and the momentum of the rainbow-like halberds pierced out and overturned the five or six vanguards who rushed forward.
Tang Che had no choice but to order the halberd team behind him to rush up to the high base to fight with him.
Chen Chuan blocked the crossing alone, and beheaded dozens of people who rushed up.
I don't know how long it has passed, seeing the blood dripping all over the surrounding area, and the corpses are piled up all over the field, but the deafening sound of horses' hooves is still slowly and continuously converging towards the valley, his whole body is sore and weak, his eyes are dizzy He turned his head and looked in the direction of Anhe County again.
Just when he was exhausted, Tang Che slammed his horse, stepped on layers of corpses and rushed to Chen Chuan, and swung his sword straight at Chen Chuan's neck.
For a moment, hot blood splattered and spread on the surrounding boulders.
"Chase, keep chasing."
Tang Che carried Chen Chuan's head and continued to march at full speed.
