Chapter 93: Casting for Han Sui
Cheng Qiu's original intention was to scare Li Xiangru, but how could he think that Li Xiangru really turned against him?
Although Cheng Qiu is so tough, he has always been a civil servant in Liangzhou with his kindness. Seeing Li Xiangru leading thousands of spirits in front of him, Cheng Qiu was shocked for a moment.
"General, General!" The deputy general beside him looked at Cheng Qiu's stupid look and shouted loudly: "Li Xiangru has rebelled, fight back!"
"Ah~Ah, yes!" Cheng Qiu was shouted twice, and was shocked and ordered: "The whole army counterattack!"
The two armies were already more than ten feet apart, and for the galloping horses, it was just a distance that could be reached in just a few breaths. As soon as Cheng Qiu's military order was issued, Li Xiangru had already arrived in front of Cheng Qiu for more than a ft.
Li Xiangru took advantage of the horse's stance and looked at Cheng Qiu's face that became clearer and clearer. Li Xiangru raised his long sword and roared angrily: "Cheng Qiu's son will take his life!"
Li Xiangru was originally a scholar, but he had already sharpened the scholarly spirit of his body for more than ten years in Longxi. Now Li Xiangru is filled with the unique tough aura of the northwest.
When the horse arrived, Li Xiangru roared and waved his sword and slashed at Cheng Qiu hard. Cheng Qiu was in a hurry and had no time to draw his sword to greet him. When he saw the sharp blade slashing, he hurriedly raised his cheating to protect his head.
Li Xiangru had a full blow, and the sword directly cut off Cheng Qiu's arm and slashed Cheng Qiu's neck.
If he cut directly on Cheng Qiu's neck, Li Xiangru's sword could directly make Cheng Qiu's head fall to the ground. However, when Cheng Qiu's arm blocked, half of the force had been removed from the sword's body.
The sword cut the ball's neck with three points and stopped with all its strength.
"Ah~~~" Cheng Qiu screamed. The severe pain and fear made Cheng Qiu tremble all over. The mount under his crotch was frightened for a moment, and he ran away in panic.
Cheng Qiu, who had broken arm, had a long sword around his neck. While screaming, he was lying on the terrified horse. The blood from his neck and broken arm was sprayed like a fountain, splashing the soldiers along the way.
After the horse ran wildly for a while, Cheng Qiu's screams became weaker and weaker. Gradually, Cheng Qiu's body lay weakly on the horse's back, and slowly merged into the black night as the horse ran wildly.
General Cheng, the vanguard general who was still alive a moment ago, turned into a corpse in a blink of an eye.
Looking at this scene, the vanguard army under Cheng Qiu couldn't help but turn their eyes to Li Xiangru, who was covered in blood.
Li Xiangru glanced at the soldiers in front of him and shouted loudly: "Cheng Qiu is dead, why don't you surrender?"
"Surrender! Surrender!" The three thousand essence behind Li Xiangru shouted loudly at the same time, with a huge momentum.
Although Cheng Qiu has the advantage in terms of quality and experience, he is far behind the 3,000 soldiers under Li Xiangru.
I don’t know who put down his weapons and knelt on the ground first. The soldiers under Cheng Qiu knelt down like the wind blowing wheat waves, whirling down one by one, shouting: “God of your life, General, I’m willing to surrender!”
Li Xiangru gasped heavily and waved his hand and said, "Since I surrendered to me, I, Li Xiangru, will share wealth and honor in the future!"
Li Xiangru said this official words. Although it was useless, he still had to say it.
At this time, the deputy general beside him whispered: "Sir, where will we go now?"
Li Xiangru looked up at the darkness, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and suddenly passed the big knife from the deputy general and slashed at the flagpole beside him.
With a "click", the flagpole broke in response to the sound, and the flag on the pole slowly fell to the ground. The six big words "The Prefect of Longxi of the Great Han Dynasty" can be vaguely seen. Li Xiangru threw out a long sword, and the sword pierced the flag and inserted it deeply into the soil.
Looking at the big flags breaking on the ground, Li Xiangru let out a long sigh, then raised his breath and said, "Brothers follow me to sue Han Sui, and they will definitely dominate Xiliang!"
"Dover the Xiliang, dominate the Xiliang!" The three thousand elite cavalry shouted again with Li Xiangru.
Although the thousands of people under Cheng Qiu surrendered to Li Xiangru verbally, many people have their own plans in their hearts. Now when they hear that Li Xiangru is going to surrender to the rebel Han Sui, some of them can't help but mutter again.
Seeing this, Li Xiangru frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "If there are any objections, we will take care of it together!"
Cheng Qiu's tragic situation is still vivid in his mind. When the soldiers heard this, they waited silently and stopped talking.
Li Xiangru dipped and whispered to the deputy general beside him: "You go to Didao and tell Han Sui that I, Li Xiangru, have similar sincerity!"
"Here!" The deputy general looked at Li Xiangru, clasped his fists and responded, and then ran towards Didao with several followers.
Seeing the deputy general Juechen leaving, Li Xiangru tied the reins and waved his hand and shouted: "All the soldiers, follow me into Didao!"
Two hours later, it was already dawn. Outside Didao City, Han Sui and Bian Zhang led dozens of personal guards to stand in front of the city gate, looking into the distance from time to time.
Bian Zhang looked at Han Sui and said softly: "Wen Yue, how do you know that Li Xiangru is not messing with us?"
Han Sui smiled and said, "I once met Li Xiangru. Although Li Xiangru was a literary life, he was very arrogant and had a good attitude towards people and doing things. Besides, you have seen Li Xiangru kill Cheng Qiu with his own hands. If he didn't come here, where is the world so big?"
Bian Zhang felt that Han Sui was right and nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, a black shadow appeared on the horizon in the distance.
Li Xiangru's deputy general who was anxiously waiting hurriedly walked to Han Sui, pointed to the black shadow in the distance and said happily: "Master, we are here!"
Han Sui nodded with satisfaction and slowly watched the shadows in the distance get closer and closer.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Xiangru had already seen a group of people at the city gate. Li Xiangru raised his right hand to signal the horse. Looking at the door chatting with dozens of people, Li Xiangru was a little moved. On the road just now, Li Xiangru had no clue in his heart. He didn't know whether Han Sui believed him or not. Li Xiangru even thought about it. If Han Sui didn't accept it, he would turn back to Longxi and try to have fun again.
But he never expected that Han Sui would open the city gate and only brought dozens of people to greet him at the city gate.
Thinking of this, Li Xiangru turned over and dismounted and walked slowly to the gate of Didao City alone.
Outside Didao's city gate, the two looked at each other without opening their mouths. Li Xiangru's heart was rumbling: Yesterday he received an order to wipe out Han Sui, and today he wanted to join Han Sui. Things in the world are so capricious! Li Xiangru shook his head slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he lifted his robe and knelt on one knee and said, "Li Xiangru came to join the general, thanks for his unyielding repaid, Xiangru vowed to repay him to the death!"
"Oh, please get up quickly!" Han Sui hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and helped Li Xiangru up: "General Gao Cai, now he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and seeks great achievements with me. It is really my blessing for me, Han Sui! Hahaha~~ Come on, the city has already set up a reception banquet, and we will welcome General Li today." After that, Han Sui grabbed Li Xiangru's hand and walked into the city with a spring breeze.
