The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 652
Liu Zhi was naturally overjoyed when he discovered Ruan Zhengyu, King of Annan. In order to get this credit, he also worked hard, urging his horse and spear, and went straight to Ruan Zhengyu.

Ruan Zhengyu also noticed that the opponent's general was rushing towards him, and he was already a little frightened at this time.

Seeing that their master was in danger, the guards beside Ruan Zhengyu rushed towards Liu Zhi one by one desperately, trying to stop Liu Zhi so that his master would have time to escape.

Liu Zhi got a little impatient when he saw the other side's guards attacking him, so he immediately ordered the soldiers behind him to step forward to stop him, while he bypassed the guards and headed towards Ruan Zhengyu.

Ruan Zhengyu also passed through the battlefield. When he saw the opponent, he gritted his teeth and brandished his big gun, wanting to kill this general so that he could escape.

Unexpectedly, when the two sides fought each other, it was discovered that the martial arts of the two were even on par.

Liu Zhiwu moved the gun in his hand and flew up and down, while Ruan Zhengyu blocked it back and forth with the gun in his hand.

Liu Zhi sat in a group with the other party, without any panic, because he knew that time was on his side, as long as he held Ruan Zhengyu back, when all his guards were killed, Ruan Zhengyu would be captured.

Ruan Zhengyu naturally understood this truth, so he gritted his teeth and fought to the death with Liu Zhi, just wanting to have an immediate result.

At this moment, a group of men and horses came out in the alley next to it, and the person who did it immediately, Ruan Zhengyu knew, was Du Peng, the general of hussars under his command.

Ruan Zhengyu was immediately overjoyed when someone of his own arrived, "General Du, come and rescue Gu."

Seeing Ruan Zhengyu being entangled by a general, Du Peng didn't want to go there at first, but with so many soldiers under his command watching, he had no choice but to come forward to fight Liu Zhi.

This time Liu Zhike couldn't hold on any longer, being so entangled by two people, his life seemed to be in danger.

And Du Zhong, who was in Liu Zhi's formation, was shocked when he saw Liu Zhi was in danger. If something happened to the Central Plains general, he would not be able to explain it, so he waved his horse and waved a gun in his hand to respond.

With Eucommia's support, Liu Zhizhen's side finally settled down, and his life would not be in danger.

Seeing this situation, Ruan Zhengyu knew that it would be too late if he didn't leave, so he said to Du Peng next to him, "General Du, hold on for a while, and come to rescue you when the lonely king gathers his soldiers."

After Ruan Zhengyu finished speaking, without waiting for Du Peng to agree, he rode his horse and fled to the rear of the formation.

When Du Peng saw this situation, he was so angry. I tried my best to save you, but you left me here. If this is the case, then why bother.

So Du Peng swayed his gun and turned his horse's head to escape, but he couldn't go anymore, and countless wolf soldiers were already surrounded.

And Liu Zhi also rushed to him behind him, and he could not help but say that it was a shot. Du Peng couldn't dodge in time, and was stabbed in the right arm, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

At this time, Du Peng already knew that the general situation was over, and he put his left hand on his right arm and stopped resisting. Seeing that the opponent gave up resistance, Liu Zhi immediately ordered his officers and soldiers to pull him off the horse, tie him firmly and sent him to the rear for Jia Ke to deal with. .

After Liu Zhi finished dealing with the affairs here, Ruan Zhengyu had disappeared, and now Liu Zhiqi's seven orifices were smoked, and the credit for what he had already obtained was gone.

Liu Zhi was still not reconciled, so he took his men and horses to search for the results nearby. They only searched for an hour or two, but they didn't find any trace of Ruan Zhengyu. He knew that this time he escaped.

This battle lasted from the middle of the night until dawn, and by the time the sun was high, there were no traces of Annan's soldiers in the entire Shenglong Mansion. These people were either killed or captured.

After Jia Ke received the news in the big tent of the Chinese army, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately ordered the army to enter the city.

When Jia Ke arrived at the gate of the city with his army horse, Liu Zhi and Jirigela were already there to greet him.

Seeing the two of them, Jia Ke smiled and said, "You two have worked hard, and when you settle down, you will definitely be rewarded."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, the two hurriedly humbled a few times, and then the group surrounded Jia Ke and entered Shenglong Mansion together.

After Jia Ke entered the palace of Shenglong Mansion, he sat upright in the middle above the Yin'an Palace, with all the civil and military generals standing on both sides.

Seeing everyone standing still, Jia Ke asked, "Did you capture Annan King Ruan Zhengyu this time?"

Liu Zhi was a little ashamed when he heard Jia Ke's question, but he couldn't help it, so he stepped out of the class and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I will meet Ruan Zhengyu at the end, but he ran away."

After hearing this, Jia Ke frowned. If this Ruan Zhengyu escaped and went to other places in An Nanguo to regroup, it would be a trouble for him.

So Jia Ke turned around and asked Du Lin, An Nanguo's Grand Fu, "Old man, Ruan Zhengyu has escaped this time, where do you think he will regroup."

Du Lin thought for a while, and then said: "Reporting to King Yan Qiansui, Ruan Zhengyu escaped from Shenglong Mansion this time, so he can only go to the south."

Jia Ke nodded after listening, and then continued to ask: "The old man is the leader of Annan Nanfang. I don't know what to teach me."

Jia Ke's words are very clear, just ask this Du Lin, Ruan Zhengyu has fled to the south of you, and you, the leader of the south, should also contribute.

After hearing this, Du Lin didn't hesitate at all, "Reporting to King Yan Qiansui, my little old man, this is writing a letter and sending it to the south. At that time, the nobles in the south will definitely follow Yan Wang Qiansui's lead."

Jia Ke was very satisfied after listening to it. Talking to a smart person is like this. As soon as you start, he understands what you mean.

As long as the nobles in the south obeyed his orders, then Ruan Zhengyu's escape to the south would be nothing but a shackles.

Jia Ke had just smiled there, but Du Lin poured cold water on him again.

"Qiantui King Yan, although Ruan Zhengyu fled to the south, but if there is any trouble, he probably won't sit still. Ruan Zhengyu still has a way out."

After hearing this, Jia Ke was taken aback, "The old man has something to say."

"Reporting to King Yan Qiansui, Ruan Zhengyu's queen is a princess of Thailand, and this princess is quite favored by the current king. If Ruan Zhengyu escapes to Thailand, the king of Thailand will definitely take him in."

Jia Ke frowned after hearing this, and then asked Li Deshan next to him, "You are in charge of the safety of the palace, have you found the queen of Annan Kingdom?"

Hearing Jia Ke's question, Li Deshan quickly lowered his head and said, "Returning to the master, the servant did not find Queen Annan in the palace."

Jia Ke now understood that Ruan Zhengyu had indeed arranged for him to escape, presumably the Thai princess had been sent to Thailand.

Jia Ke frowned and asked Du Lin: "How is the situation in the southeastern countries? You can tell me in detail."

When Du Lin heard Jia Ke's question, he quickly replied: "Reporting to King Yan, there are three major countries in the southeast of the Celestial Dynasty, Annan, Thailand, and Burma. There are also some small countries as buffers between these three countries. A big country controls the situation in the southeast of the Celestial Dynasty.”

"And all three countries have marriages with each other, there hasn't been much conflict over the years."

After hearing this, Jia Ke was a little puzzled, "These three countries should argue with each other, how can they live in peace?"

Du Lin said helplessly: "I want to report to King Yan that the Celestial Dynasty puts too much pressure on these three countries. They are afraid that once the national situation is damaged, the Celestial Dynasty will follow the trend."

"Even if the Celestial Empire doesn't intervene for the time being, if they are too powerful and the Celestial Empire thinks it is a threat, they will send troops to conquer. Therefore, for their own safety, they temporarily suspend their troops and strike against the Celestial Empire together."

Jia Ke nodded when he heard this, which is barely an answer, but Jia Ke didn't think so. These southern barbarians were all rebellious. How could they repair soldiers because of the pressure from the heavenly kingdom? Don't you see, these countries have repeatedly violated The border of the celestial dynasty shows their respect for the kingdom of the celestial dynasty, which is superficial.

This may be because these barbarians have been fighting every year and their national strength is exhausted, so they made this bad move to temporarily repair their troops in preparation for another battle.

Let's talk about Jia Ke's suspicion of the south here, and talk about Ruan Zhengyu, who led his soldiers and thousands of troops and broke out of the south gate of Shenglong Mansion.

He regrouped two or three miles away from the city, and looked around, except for a few generals who followed him, none of the civil servants were there.

Now that Ruan Zhengyu was at the end of the mountain, he felt that he was at the end of his rope, and the more he thought about it, the more hopeless he was, and he couldn't help but draw out his sword and was about to commit suicide.

In the end, he was stopped by the soldiers next to him, and Ruan Zenglie immediately came to his senses. What happened to him was just a wrong thought for a while, and he had his own thoughts, so he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

Coupled with the constant persuasion of the generals next to him, Ruan Zhengyu immediately cheered up again, and he said to the generals on the left and right: "We are only waiting for a small setback, and there is still half of the country in the south. When we come to the south with the lonely king, we will regroup and start again." Ding Ding An Nan Jiangshan, you and others will definitely not lose the reward of the Marquis."

After Ruan Zhengyu comforted the generals, he stopped hesitating and led his people to go directly to the south. However, since Shenglong Mansion was completely surrounded, if he took the main road, he would be discovered by Jia Ke's army immediately.

So Ruan Zhengyu asked the local natives in the army to find a path in the mountains, and these people bypassed Jia Ke's defense and came out of the encirclement.

As soon as Ruan Zhengyu left the encirclement, it was as if he smashed the jade cage to fly the colorful phoenix, and released the golden lock to drive away the dragon.

These people were as busy as a fish slipping through the net, they didn't dare to stop, they went directly to the Jiading Mansion in the south before stopping and entering the city to rest.

Ruan Zhengyu, the magistrate of Jiading Mansion, brought people here and hurriedly sent people to clean up the room and settle them down.

And Ruan Zhengyu didn't trust these southerners, he placed the army he brought from the north this time around his palace to protect his safety.

At the same time, he sent several generals who followed him from the south to gather the military power near Jiading Mansion, intending to regain control of the south, and then fight Jia Ke in a decisive battle.
