Volume 10 Chapter 460
Chapter 460
When he woke up, his own military camp suddenly looked like this. Li Jin was dumbfounded. He stood barefoot at the door of the camp with a dull expression and motionless TXT download.
At this time, Zhang Rong hurried over in disheveled clothes. Seeing that Li Jin was still in a daze, he rushed forward, shook Li Jin vigorously, and shouted loudly: "General, the Feng Army has already entered, we must hurry up." Run!”
Amidst Zhang Rong's hurried shouting, Li Jin finally came to his senses. His eyes slowly turned to Zhang Rong's face and murmured: "It's over, our army is over, Mo Country is over..."
There is no time to listen to his funeral prayers now! Zhang Rong was so anxious that he was sweating and shouted at the guards behind Li Jin: "Quick! Take the general away quickly. When the wind army rushes over, none of us can escape."
The guards were all shaken. Someone quickly pulled the war horse. The guards helped Li Jin on the horse and escorted him and Zhang Rong to escape to the rear camp.
The army was defeated like a mountain. The Mo army of more than 100,000 people barely put up any decent resistance in their own camp, and were defeated by the Pingyuan Army. More than 100,000 soldiers fled the camp in defeat. The scene was chaotic, and everyone was on their backs. Countless Mo troops trampled each other to death.
After Mo Jun escaped, Feng Jun pretended to pursue them for a while. Seeing Mo's remaining defeated soldiers fleeing away, Feng Jun decisively gave up the pursuit and withdrew his troops.
After all, they were alone and did not dare to go too deep. If the enemy seized the opportunity and surrounded them, the consequences would be disastrous.
Let's talk about Li Jin and Zhang Rong. After this defeat, they retreated more than ten miles at once. After counting their troops, they found that there were less than 50,000 people left, and the army of more than 100,000 was completely dispersed.
When he led an army of 200,000 to leave the capital, he did not make any achievements, and now he was defeated by the wind army and was reduced to less than 50,000 people. All the food, grass and baggage in the army were lost. How could he have the dignity to return to the capital to see the king? ? Thinking of this, Li Jin looked up to the sky and lamented.
Now he was so disheartened that he even considered committing suicide. He looked at Zhang Rong, who was also in a state of embarrassment, and said desperately: "Master Zhang, this time I...may not be able to escape. If...if there really is something wrong, I hope Master Zhang can see that you and I have been ministers in the same palace for more than ten years." Friendship, take care of my family..." At this point, he couldn't help but shed tears.
Zhang Rong's heart moved, and he pulled Li Jin to a deserted place. Then he looked around and said in a low voice: "General, you know the character of the king. We lost this battle so miserably. After we go back, There is definitely nothing we can do. If you want to survive, the general must run now!"
"Run?" Li Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Where else can I run? My family is all in the capital now. If I run away, the whole family will suffer."
Zhang Rong rolled his eyes and said, "General, there is no need to worry about this. I will take good care of the general's family."
Even if there were no family concerns, Li Jin still didn't want to run away and spend his whole life in hiding.
He is used to being pampered, how can he still live an ordinary life? He shook his head repeatedly and said: "I would rather be punished by the king than live in fear all my life."
Zhang Rong nodded in understanding, as if he suddenly thought of something, and whispered: "If the general wants to escape the king's punishment and be prosperous and wealthy in the future, there are many ways."
Li Jin's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "What can be done? Master Zhang, tell me quickly."
Zhang Rong pulled Li Jin towards him, leaned close to his ear, and said, "Follow Feng Guo."
ah? Li Jin was shocked, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Rong in disbelief. The latter sighed softly and said: "This is the only way. Looking at it now, Zhenjiang will definitely not be able to resist the Fengyu coalition forces on the north bank. It is only a matter of time before the capital is defeated. Mo State has no way to recover, and now the only choice is to defect to the Fengguo is the only way to save yourself and your family. General, please don’t hang yourself from a tree!”
Li Jin took a breath, what Zhang Rong said was reasonable, but he was a general after all, so asking him to surrender and switch sides was really difficult at the emotional level.
After pondering for a long time, he shook his head repeatedly and said seriously: "I would rather die on the battlefield than bear the reputation of treason..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Rong interrupted meaningfully: "Neither Qingyu nor Nie Ze are Feng people, but after defecting to the Feng Kingdom, they are now powerful generals of the Feng Kingdom, but there are so many in the world. Have people scolded them? In this battle, the country of Mo will be destroyed. Even if the general does not think about himself, he must think about his descendants and fight for a way for his family to survive! "
Zhang Rong's "heartfelt words" completely touched Li Jin's heart. The reason why it is not easy to gain infamy for defecting to the Feng Kingdom is because there is a high-sounding reason, that is, to obey the emperor and return to the emperor's tent.
With the golden sign of the Emperor here, taking refuge in the Feng Kingdom is tantamount to answering the emperor's call, abandoning the dark side, turning to the bright side, and returning to the orthodoxy.
After thinking about it again and again, Li Jin had already accepted Zhang Rong's advice, but...he frowned and asked in a low voice: "But if I take refuge in Feng State now, what will my family do? How can the king let me go?" My family?"
Zhang Rongle was happy and said: "Didn't I say it? I will take care of the general's family and there will never be any mistakes." Having said this, he no longer concealed anything and said seriously: "Actually, Feng Guo and I We have been in contact with each other for a long time. There is an "Envoy from the Wind Country" living in my home. My family has been secretly moved to a safe place with the help of the "Envoy from the Wind Country". If the general is willing to listen to my advice, come with me to fight against the wind. , I can send people back to the capital now to inform the 'Feng Kingdom Envoy' to protect the general's family."
Li Jin looked at Zhang Rong in disbelief. This old fox was so scheming that he had an affair with Feng Guo early and left an escape route for himself.
But now is no longer the time to worry about this. He asked with concern: "Will the envoy of the Feng Kingdom... be willing to help me? Will the Feng Kingdom accept me?"
Zhang Rong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, General! The General is highly respected in Mo Country and responds to every call. When Feng Country takes over Mo Country in the future, there will be a great need for talents like General to sit in Mo Country and govern Feng Country. Feng Country The Cai family established in Ningdi is the best example.”
Li Jin believed this, and the Cai family had indeed prospered in Feng Guoning and made a lot of money.
He rolled his eyes and thought for a long time. He raised his hands, saluted Zhang Rongshen, and said: "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Thank you Master Zhang for your enlightenment. I have to rely more on Zhang Rongshen when I switch to Fengguo." Sir, please help!"
Li Jin was successfully persuaded by Zhang Rong to surrender and decided to defect to Feng Kingdom.
In Mo Country, he feels that his prestige is much higher than Zhang Rong. Now he can use Zhang Rong as a springboard. In the future, he is likely to become the second Cai Song of Feng Country, enjoying endless glory and wealth. .
But Zhang Rong is not a fool. He has his own ideas. He persuaded Li Jin to surrender. This contribution is too great. It has far-reaching significance to Feng Kingdom and has an immeasurable effect. It is also enough to ensure that he can secure the top spot in Fengzhan Modi. .
Li Jin and Zhang Rong are both villains, selfish and have their own agendas.
Worried about the safety of his family, after Li Jin stopped his defeat, he did not defect to Feng Guo. Instead, he stationed himself at the same place and asked Zhang Rong to send someone to ride a horse back to the capital. He contacted Feng Guo to make arrangements first. Protect your family well. He himself took advantage of this opportunity to gather back more scattered soldiers. Now, the soldiers under his command are the capital of his surrender. The more troops he gathers, the greater the credit he can get when he surrenders to Feng Kingdom. Li Jin still understands this.
Let's talk about Tang Yin's side. The camp of Mo Jun who was attacking his side suddenly fell into chaos, with shouts of killing everywhere, and then a fire broke out. The Fengjun soldiers who didn't know the inside story were completely confused by Mo Ying's sudden change and didn't understand what happened.
Someone immediately suggested that Mo Ying must have been attacked by our own army, and now we should attack immediately to attack the enemy camp. However, Nie Ze objected. He felt that his navy had been completely wiped out and it was impossible to transport the army to the south bank. It was also impossible for his army to drop from the sky to attack the enemy camp. This was probably a trick done by the Mo army himself. , whose purpose is to lure one's own troops out of camp to fight.
This can't be blamed on Nie Ze for being cautious and timid, delaying a good opportunity to fight. The smuggling of Pingyuan Army and Feiyu Army was so unexpected that even Feng Army himself did not expect it.
The soldiers of the Feng Army watched the fire from across the bank, watching Mo Jun do what he did. But as time went by, even Nie Ze saw that something was wrong. If Mo Jun was just acting, it would be impossible to set his entire camp on fire. Then The investment cost is also too high.
It wasn't until the Pingyuan Army and the Feiyu Army won a complete victory and returned in triumph that the Feng Army finally figured out that it turned out that their own army had successfully smuggled to the south bank and killed Mo's Central Army in one breath.
With the arrival of the Pingyuan Army and the Feiyu Army, the soldiers of the Feng Army who were trapped in the Zhenjiang Navy Camp were overjoyed. People finally saw hope again, and there was even the possibility of advancing directly to the capital of the Mo Kingdom.
Good things come in pairs. Shortly after Pingyuan Army and Feiyu Army joined Tang Yin's group, the defeated Mo Army suddenly sent an envoy, saying that General Li Jin and Taifu Zhang Rong were willing to lead their remaining troops to surrender to Feng State, and hoped that Feng Army would accept it.
Tang Yin was overjoyed to hear the intention of the Mo army envoy. If Li Jin and Zhang Rong could lead their troops to surrender, it would not only be a loss of troops, but also a heavy blow to morale. It would be very beneficial to his own side. However, what he was not sure about was Did Li Jin and Zhang Rong really surrender or pretend to surrender?
He proposed to the Mo Jun envoy that if Li Jin and Zhang Rong were really willing to surrender to the Feng Kingdom, then they would be allowed to come and plead guilty in person. As long as they surrendered sincerely, he would forget the blame and reward them heavily.
