Han Zhi waved his hand behind him, and three or four temporary soldiers rushed out with ropes. They ran straight to Li Hanzhi and tied him up without Li Hanzhi putting up any resistance.
At the same time, more than 5,000 Cao Army guards behind Li Hanzhi put down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and waited for Han Zhi to send someone to surrender.
After the guards had completely tied up Li Hanzhi, Han Zhi jumped off his horse and whispered a few words quickly to a guard. The guard ran out quickly and soon disappeared in the jungle on both sides of the road.
Soon, countless guards emerged from the dark. They were the ragtag troops hastily reorganized by Han Zhi. As soon as these guards appeared, they were ordered by Han Zhi to go and capture the 5,000 prisoners.
Many of these ragtag troops were former Grass Army guards, and they had not even changed their armor. However, when they saw the godlike Li Hanzhi being tied up and held next to Han Zhi, all their little thoughts and extravagant hopes disappeared in an instant, and they no longer dared to have any other thoughts.
Until this time, Li Hanzhi, who had seen all this, could no longer not know that he had been fooled again. These guards who came out of the dark were not an elite army at all. The vast majority of them were clearly his former subordinates. They had not even changed their armor. This scene was so ironic that Li Hanzhi's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded.
But what can he do after seeing all this? He just handed himself over to Han Zhi in person. Now he couldn't find anyone to scold even if he wanted to. In grief and anger, Li Hanzhi's face suddenly turned red and he shouted, "Ah, I'm so angry."
A mouthful of blood spurted out into the sky, and with a "plop" sound, Li Hanzhi fainted from happiness and fell to the ground.
Zhu Li looked at him with pity. This Li Hanzhi was truly a talented person. It seemed that if he was to be subdued, he must not be allowed to command troops. At most, he should be a personal guard or something like that. Just like Dian Wei during the Three Kingdoms period who followed Cao Cao, he could only be used as a fierce general, and forget about commanding an army.
If Li Hanzhi knew what Zhu Li was thinking now, he would definitely spit out blood again. It was a pity that he had always had a brilliant record in battle, but because of a careless move, not only did he lose the whole game, but he was also labeled as reckless and unwise by Zhu Li.
Li Hanzhi surrendered and his subordinates were incorporated into the army by Han Zhi.
In order to make this hastily formed ragtag army form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Han Zhi reorganized the army at Dinggong Mountain for ten days and then planned to go north to the Bian River to attack Li Dan.
After ten days, Li Hanzhi and Yang Shihou had no choice but to surrender to Zhu Li. Only then did they realize that this ghost-faced general was none other than Zhu Li, who had recaptured Chang'an. From this point on, Li Hanzhi and Yang Shihou no longer had any complaints.
If they were defeated by an unknown person, they would still be unwilling to accept it given their pride. But the one who defeated them was Zhu Li, who made the Cao army tremble in fear. What else did they have to complain about
Ten days later, the army set out. Zhu Li took Li Hanzhi, Yang Zaixing, Yang Shihou and others with him and set off with the army.
Yuchi Jin, a captain, led a thousand guards under his command and followed Xuzhou's commander Huang Hao to Xiaoxian. However, just as the army crossed the Yellow River, a group of Shatuo cavalry suddenly rushed out from the diagonal direction.
The leader was a man on a white horse with a silver spear. He had a broad face, a narrow nose and deep eyes. He was more than seven feet tall and very burly. He stopped his horse more than a hundred meters away from Huang Hao's troops.
Come, pointing his spear forward, he said proudly to Huang Hao: "Which guards are you from, and where are you going?"
When Huang Hao saw that they were Shatuo people and were coming with great force, his expression became very ugly. The Shatuo people were notoriously brutal. If the other party had bad intentions, the 5,000 guards he had just recruited would probably all be destroyed here.
Thinking of this, Huang Hao did not dare to neglect it, and hurriedly rode forward, bowed and replied: "I am Huang Hao, the commander of Xuzhou, leading my troops to Xiao County to support General Shi."
"Shi Pu?" the visitor asked doubtfully.
"That's right." Huang Hao didn't dare to provoke the other party easily. Even though the other party called Shi Pu by his name, he didn't scold him and looked cautious.
"Hmph, so you are under the command of that loser. I was wondering why their morale was so low. The guards led by that loser are indeed losers too." The man raised his lips with a look of disdain, but he mercilessly denounced the Xuzhou guards.
However, although Huang Hao was depressed about these, he did not dare to refute them, and looked like he was in a desperate situation and could not get anything out of it.
He could hold it in, but someone else couldn't, and not just one, but a couple.
These two people were of course the brothers Xie Tian and Xie Di. Xie Tian suddenly rode out of the camp, pointed his axe at the Shatuo general, and shouted, "Hey, you Shatuo bastard, who do you say is a waste?"
The fact that someone dared to talk back aroused the interest of the general on the white horse and silver spear.
This general was none other than Shi Jingsi, one of the Thirteen Guardians under Li Keyong, also known as the "White Robe General".
Shi Jingsi and Li Keyong are about the same age, but Shi Jingsi is still one of Li Keyong's adopted sons. This is a bad custom of the time, which is simply speechless.
It is said that Li Keyong received a request for help from Zhu Wen and led his troops south. On the way, he encountered obstruction from Zhuge Shuang, and all the generals under his command were furious.
However, Li Keyong did not want to cause any more trouble, so he had to retreat and take a detour. When they arrived at Henan Prefecture, facing the current situation, they did not even have time to rest. Li Keyong immediately deployed his troops and prepared to completely wipe out Huang Chao.
Li Keyong personally led a large army and stationed troops in Xuzhou to confront Huang Chao head-on. He also ordered Li Siyuan to lead troops into Yongqiu and Shi Jingsi to lead troops into Songzhou, intending to attack Huang Chao and Li Zongquan from the east, west and north of Chenzhou.
Shi Jingsi and others, unfamiliar with the road, headed eastward along the Yellow River, but unexpectedly ended up in Xuzhou.
After running around for days, not only did his guards complain, but he himself was also furious. Now such an annoying thing as running too much happened. How could they not be depressed
When he saw a group of staggering mud-legged guards, he just scolded them to vent his frustration.
He thought that if the other side was weak, he would turn back and march westward. Unexpectedly, a burly man suddenly rushed out from the opposite army. He was as strong as a bear, holding two huge axes in his hands, which were very heavy. It was obvious that he was a formidable warrior.
This aroused his interest. You may not know who Shi Jingsi is, but his son is very famous. He was almost the most powerful person in the early Five Dynasties and had few rivals.
Shi Jingsi is Shi Jiantang's father. When it comes to Shi Jiantang, you must know him. He is the sword-fighting general who fought with Wang Yanzhang for two hundred rounds and whipped Wang Yanzhang so hard that he vomited blood and fled.
Wang Yanzhang, the most powerful general under Zhu Wen, was defeated by only two people in his life. One was Li Cunxiao, and the second was Shi Jiantang.
Shi Jingsi is Shi Jiantang’s father. Little Jiantang must be eight or nine years old now, but that’s a story for later.
Shi Jingsi was very excited when he saw Xie Tian, a hot guy. He immediately couldn't help it and deliberately said something provocative: "Shi is talking about you guys, so what can you do to me?"
Xie Tian and Xie Di had such a temper, they were just like firecrackers, the kind that would catch fire at any time. How could they withstand the provocation of Shi Jingsi, who was looking for trouble? Upon hearing this, Xie Tian swung his axe and rode his horse towards Shi Jingsi, shouting, "Di dog, take your brother Xie's axe."
Seeing Xie Tian rushing towards him, Shi Jingsi was secretly delighted. He spurred his horse, drew his gun, and rushed forward bravely. He swung the gun like a stick and directly hit Xie Tian's axe with one shot.
"Bang"
With a loud bang, Xie Tian's arm trembled and his right elbow felt numb. It was obvious that Xie Tian suffered a loss in the first round. Although Shi Jingsi had the upper hand with one shot, his expression became gloomy.
You know, he was wielding the gun with both hands, while Xie Tian was holding the axe with one hand. The opponent actually took his full-strength attack. Although his brows were slightly frowned, he was fine. It was obviously not ordinary.
Shi Jingsi didn't dare to underestimate this reckless man anymore. After one round, Shi Jingsi changed his strategy and stopped fighting head-on. He instantly manipulated the spear like a clever snake, and he targeted Xie Tian's weaknesses with sudden and cunning moves.
After just a few dozen rounds of fighting, Xie Tian was completely suppressed by Shi Jingsi. Seeing this, Xie Di was anxious. Without waiting for Yuchi Jin's orders, he rode his horse and swung his hammer to kill, shouting, "Don't panic, brother. I'm here."
Little did he know that his shouting had stirred up a hornet's nest. In terms of the number of generals, the Xuzhou people were no match for the Shatuo people.
As soon as Xie Di ran out, a fierce Shatuo general rode up to him and shouted, "Do you want to use your numbers to bully the few? How can I, the general of Hedong, be afraid of you?"
The man who ran out of the Shatuo camp was also of great origin. His name was Li Cunzhang, an old follower of Li Keyong. When Li Keyong was the guard and capture envoy in Yunzhong, he followed him.
Li Cunzhang was brave and good at fighting. Although his martial arts were not as good as Shi Jingsi's, he was still able to resist Xie Di. Seeing that Xie Di was being held back and Xie Tian was in danger, Yuchi Jin became very anxious.
Although Xie Tian and Xie Di were a little reckless, no one could compare to their loyalty to Yuchi Jin. What's more, the biological father of these two people died in Hongzhou along with Yuchi Tian. They are the rare loyal descendants of the Yuchi family. How could she ignore them
With this thought, she could not care less. She swung her Fengling sword and rode towards Shi Jingsi. The Shatuo people saw another general with a mustache jumping out from the Xuzhou army opposite. Although he was a little petite, he had an extraordinary aura. They did not dare to be careless and immediately sent another general to rush out to meet Yuchi Jin.
The general who went to meet Yuchi Jin was also a fierce general. His name was Li Cunxin. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with this person, but he is not simple at all. His original name was Zhang Wuluo. He was a member of the Uighur king Li Sizhong's tribe. Later, he defected to Li Keyong.
Li Cunxiao, the most powerful general of the Five Dynasties who hated the sky for not having a handle and the earth for not having a ring, was killed by this man. This man was not only brave and good at fighting, but also cunning and resourceful, and extremely insidious.
Unfortunately, this is a challenge. Although IQ can play a certain role in a challenge, if the gap is too big, any conspiracy or trick will be vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.
