Chapter 422                                                             

At that time, Li Feng and Li Ying led more than 20,000 provincial government troops to enter Pyeongchang County with great fanfare, and captured Pyeongchang City and Zu Town in one fell swoop.

For a moment, it was so powerful that it was in full swing.

Now, only Li Feng was left, with dozens of followers, and fled out of Pyeongchang County in a hurry, like a dog that was stranded.

In sharp contrast to the scenery a few days ago.

This battle in Pyeongchang County also completely broke up between Li Yu, Li Yuan, Ji Yanyan and the Nine Kings.

Originally, Li Yu, Li Yuan and Ji Yanyan were both in a relatively neutral position.

Even though they were more inclined to the new king, Li Ju, they never thought of fighting with the Nine Kings on the battlefield.

After this incident, Li Yu, Li Yuan and Ji Yanyan completely turned to Li Ju, and there was no possibility of joining forces with the Nine Kings.

The provincial government army was completely wiped out by the border army, King Li Ying of Lu was killed, King Li Feng of Jin fled, and as for the Liangzhou governor Cao Ren, he was captured alive by the border army.

The border army led by Gao Tu won a complete victory and returned triumphantly. At the same time, they also brought back Li Ying's body and the captured Cao Ren.

When the border troops arrived at Pyeongchang City, they were welcomed by the people in the city.

The scene now is empty.

The people gathered on both sides of the street were crowded with people, and they couldn't tell the difference.

Wherever the army passed, it attracted cheers like tsunamis.

The generals led by Gao Tu came to the Palace of King Wu to meet Li Yu.

After meeting, Gao Tu and the generals intervened in salute and said in unison: "I pay homage to Your Highness!"

Li Yu stood up, walked to Gao Tu, patted his arm hard, and smiled and said, "Dingjun, this battle is good! Illegal the rebels, boost the morale of the army, and also have great morale!"

Dingjun is the word Gao Tu.

Gao Tu hurriedly bowed and said seriously: "It's... the palace... the palace's highness is amazing... the victory is won, and the minister only follows... the boat goes smoothly!"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Dingjun is humble!"

It is indeed not difficult to kill 20,000 with 50,000, but it is rare to kill 20,000 with 50,000, which is not something that ordinary generals can do.

Gao Tu beat him beautifully in this battle, and Li Yu was also very excited and became much closer to Gao Tu.

Li Yu no longer called him the Lengbing General Gao, but was called by his words.

Gao Tu said a few more polite words, then waved to the outside.

Not long after, four soldiers raised a panel and walked into the yard, which was covered with white cloth.

Gao Tu said to Li Yu: "Dian... Your Highness, the corpse of the rebel Li... Li Ying... is here... please... please..."

"Okay! I get it!"

Li Yu patted Gao Tu on the shoulder.

He stepped out of the lobby and came to the courtyard outside.

When he walked to the wooden board, he lifted the white cloth covered with it in a corner.

Li Yu just glanced inside and put down the white cloth.

The corpse under the white cloth is really not good-looking, it is completely covered in blood.

Without even seeing it clearly, Li Yu hurriedly withdrew his gaze and said to Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan who were in the hall: "Fifteenth sister-in-law, sixteenth brother, come and have a look!"

Ji Yanyan walked over first.

Without a moment of hesitation, she lifted the white cloth directly.

The head of the corpse is fine, but its body is broken.

It was vaguely recognizable by the face of the corpse, which was indeed Li Ying.

Even if he turned into ashes, Ji Yanyan could recognize him.

Ji Yanyan still remembers the scene of Li Ying killing Li Xiang with her own hands until now, and is vivid in her memory.

She glared at Li Ying's body, and tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Li Yuan walked forward, just glanced at the body, then withdrew his gaze, gently held Ji Yanyan's arms with both hands, and whispered to comfort him: "The Emperor's sister-in-law's Day is to be mourned and follow the changes! Fortunately, the great revenge is now avenged!"

Ji Yanyan lowered her head and nodded with a sob.

Li Yu, who was standing aside, looked at Li Yuan and Ji Yanyan, with a strange look in his eyes. When did their behavior become so close?

But Li Yu didn't take it too seriously.

The fifteenth brother was killed, the fifteenth sister-in-law was heartbroken, and the sixteenth brother comforted her kindly, which seemed normal.

If this matter was put in modern times, it would be normal, but in this era, ethics between men and women were strict, and even physical contact between uncle and sister-in-law was unethical.

Li Yu walked around the wooden board, and he was also filled with emotion about Li Ying's death.

He and Li Ying are brothers, but Li Ying is enemies of him everywhere and is determined to kill him. Now seeing Li Ying's incomplete body, Li Yu cannot be sad, but he cannot be very happy either. He just feels much more relaxed all of a sudden.

After the soldiers carried Li Ying's body away, Li Yuan supported Ji Yanyan and asked with concern: "If the emperor's sister-in-law feels unwell, go back and rest first!"

Ji Yanyan's eyes were red and she slowly shook her head.

Li Yuan had no choice but to support her and walk back to the lobby.

Next, Gao Tu asked someone to bring Cao Ren up.

At this time, Cao Ren had already had disheveled hair, and was wearing a white middle coat, which was very dirty, and there were a lot of bruises on his face and body.

When he entered the lobby, he looked up at Li Yu, Ji Yanyan, and Li Yuan, and immediately lowered his head.

When Li Yuan saw Cao Ren, he was so angry that he was furious.

He slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Cao Ren, Your Majesty is as kind as a mountain to you, but you are traitors and colluding with the Nine Kings to rebel. Are you worthy of Your Majesty?"

Cao Ren drooped his head and said nothing.

Now he has nothing to say.

Now that things have come to this point, he will definitely be unable to escape death.

Li Yuan became more and more angry as he spoke, and said to Li Yu in a deep voice: "Seventeenth brother, I don't think there is anything to say with such a person, just pull it out and chop it!"

Hearing this, Cao Ren's body shook, subconsciously raised his head and looked at Li Yu.

Li Yu was also looking at Cao Ren and pondering for a moment. He said to Li Yuan: "Sixteenth Brother, Cao Ren is the governor of Liangzhou after all!"

If Cao Ren died in the chaos like Li Ying, that would be fine.

But now he has been captured alive. With Cao Ren's identity, his side really has no right to execute him.

Li Yuan thought for a while and asked, "What will happen to him if you are seventeenth brother?"

Li Yu said: "Escort to the capital and leave it to His Majesty for disposal!"

Li Yuan thought for a moment and nodded. This was indeed the safest way.

He glared at Cao Ren again and said angrily: "In this way, let this thief live a few more days!"

Afterwards, Li Yu sent Gao Tu to continue to command the main force of the border army to the prefecture of Liangzhou and Liangzhou City.

There are not many state government troops left in Liangzhou City. Now Li Ying is dead, Li Feng fled, Cao Ren is captured, Cao Heng is killed, and there are no leaders in the state government.

At this time, 50,000 border soldiers, like wolves and tigers, were coming to the city again, so how could the prefecture dare to resist?

The officials of the state prefecture took the initiative to open the city and surrendered to the border troops.

The border troops led by Gao Tu entered Liangzhou City without any bloodshed, and took advantage of the situation to rescue Zhang Hong, who was detained and even the prefects of various counties under house arrest.

The officials of the prefecture and even the rescued prefects fell to his knees in front of Gao Tu, rushing to express his treason with the rebellion between him and Cao Ren and Cao Heng.

The reason why they did not stand up to oppose it was entirely due to the tyranny of the two brothers Cao Ren and Cao Heng.
