〖Daizhou army was the vanguard, Ting Fei led his own army to break through to attract the main force of Yong army, and the main force of Han army came out from the northwest. Yong people were always afraid of Ting Fei's prestige, and used the army to prevent him from rushing into the formation. Ting Fei rushed to kill him for a day and night. His horse was exhausted, and he was trapped by Yong's army. He was injured in more than ten places and could not walk. King Dayong Qi loved him bravely and went to his former enemy to surrender, but Ting Fei refused to accept him and committed suicide. Ting Fei was only thirty-three years old when he was only thirty-three years old, and hundreds of his personal guards survived, all of whom died. He loves horses and drowns in water. Wang Ling built the tomb of the general in the wild, and also cast the "loyalty tomb" and "yima tomb" to accompany it, and the old villagers built shrines behind the tombs to worship in the spring and autumn.
— "The History of the Northern Han Dynasty: The Flying Biography of Longting"〗
On April 19, when the early morning light penetrated the clouds again, there were only more than a thousand Northern Han troops surrounded by the Yong Corps. Seeing that there was no chance to break through the siege, he formed a circular formation to hold on, and the Yong army attacked from all sides, but the Northern Han army reported the death. The formation of the Northern Han army began to collapse, but the scattered Northern Han troops formed small circular formations and stubbornly resisted. Many hungry Northern Han sergeants were thirsty for horse blood and raw horse meat on the battlefield. , and refused to give up their weapons and surrender. It was not until the early morning that Li Xiancai finally wiped out all the remnants except Long Tingfei and his own troops. There were almost no prisoners. After being powerless to fight, they committed suicide and refused to be captured or humiliated. The few hundred prisoners were either too wounded to commit suicide, or fainted from exhaustion and had no chance to seek death.
Li Xian looked at Long Tingfei, who was trapped in the siege, with a livid face. He clenched his fists and was very angry. At this time, a graceful voice came from behind him: "Why is your highness looking so ugly? Happy is."
Li Xian didn't look back, and said sarcastically, "It turns out that the supervisor is here, why don't you feel sullen?"
I couldn't help touching my nose, retracted my neck, and smiled awkwardly, secretly regretting that I shouldn't have offended King Qi two days ago. But you can't blame me. Although my industry is all over the world, but the profit of the stall is very small, and the business network of Shudi has been lost for nothing. How can I not be saddened.
Speaking of which, the industry in my hands is mainly divided into four parts. The first part is Nanchu Tianji Pavilion. Tianji Pavilion secretly controls 30% of Jiangnan's business, but this 30% is not under my control. Most of the shares belong to me. My collaborator, the other part was distributed to the secret camp disciples, and only part of it is still in my direct control, but according to my plan, after the world is unified, I will spread out all the industries, that is to say, in the name of Tianji Pavilion I can't sell the industries I control, and I can't take money too much, and in order to support the intelligence network in Southern Chu, the profits I should get are basically invisible.
The second part is the Ping An Inn, which is in charge of Luer. This is an industry that I completely control. It is responsible for my liaison with other industries, and it is also a source of information for me. To control such a huge industry, it takes energy and money. It's hard to count. In short, it is still in the stage of breaking even. Although there will be long-term benefits in the future, at least for now, I can't count on it.
The third part is my shares in Hai's Shipping, which can be said to be huge profits and my current main source of gold, needless to say. Without the steady stream of money provided by Hai Shi, I would never have had a Jinghai Villa in a fairyland on earth, let alone a Ping An Inn.
The fourth part is the industry under the control of the Splendid Union. At the beginning, I wanted to give the allies of the Splendid Union a place to support, so that they would not only think about reviving the country and revenge every day, but unexpectedly the wealth was rolling in. These people in the Splendid Union Most of them are very talented and well-connected heroes. If they weren't for such people, how could they have the heart to resist Dayong. Thanks to the efforts of these local scoundrels, the industry of the Splendid Alliance is thriving. Every year I see the income account and I am overjoyed. mouth. At the time, I was a fan of the authorities and didn’t want to give up the Splendid League because I was reluctant to give up these benefits, but after learning about Xiahou Yuanfeng’s request, my mind became clear and I reluctantly realized that I had to give up the Splendid League, in order to prevent Xiahou Yuanfeng from passing through. The industry of the Jinxiu Alliance has infiltrated into my power. I made up my mind to give up all the industry and let Chen Zhen and the others send more than 90% of the working capital to Luer through Tianji Pavilion. Although I have tried my best to minimize the loss, Only the shop, goods and real estate were left to the people responsible for the management of these industries in Jinxiu Alliance, waiting in ignorance for Xiahou Yuanfeng to forcibly take over, but I was still very heartbroken, thinking that my income will be reduced by 40% every year in the future, why not let me Beat your chest and feet.
What, you told me that wealth is like floating clouds, it’s just nonsense, although I, Jiang Zhe, don’t love power and fame, but I still love money. I don't think it was because Xiao Shunzi hit me with a sap that made me go to the top spot. Although I had a few years of comfort because of this, it also changed my life. Maybe I am still living in seclusion in that beautiful place, reading books and drinking tea, watching flowers and fishing every day, and I have endless fun. Although it will be dull, I can spend my life carefree. Besides, with my current body, although I can barely call myself healthy, if I don’t have enough money to use various precious medicines to recuperate my body, and then let me work hard to make money, I don’t know if I can live or not. To the day Rou Lan and Shen'er get married. If you want to live a comfortable life, you don’t need money. The famous calligraphy and paintings I like need money, and the rare and rare books I like also need money, that is, the paper and ink for writing, the fragrance of burning when playing the piano, and the garden full of exotic flowers and plants. , isn't it all piled up with money
Thinking about it this way, this loss is enough to make me feel heartbroken. After thinking about it, it's all because of the Dayong royal family. Since Li Zhi is the emperor, I don't dare to express my anger. Changle is my beloved. I can't bear to express my anger. Naturally Only Li Xian, who was in front of me, was angry, and Zhangsun Ji and Jing Chi, who made them Li Zhi's confidants and favorite generals, so I took my anger out together. These days, he pays no attention to the affairs of the army by recuperating from illness. Of course, I am going to express my anger. I also think that Li Xianzu can block Long Tingfei and Lin Bi. I am not very proficient in combat, so I ignore it. Quite satisfied.
Long Tingfei was trapped and bound sooner or later. Although Lin Bi took the opportunity of the Daizhou Army to take advantage of the Yong Army's inability to reinforce, he broke through the encirclement of Xiying and broke out with seven thousand Daizhou children, but the strength of the Daizhou Army It was a huge loss, and according to the information I got, it was impossible for Lin Bi to break through the siege to affect the overall situation of the Northern Han Dynasty, and her survival also left Dayong, the royal family of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Lin family of Daizhou still room for change. The most unexpected thing was the assassination of Jing Chi, which made the main force of the Qinzhou army successfully break through. If I didn't give him a life-saving elixir when I was in Hanyuan in the past, I was afraid that his life would not be saved. This is obviously beyond my expectations. However, due to Li Xian's decisive decision, Changsun Ji did not have to worry about the besieged Long Tingfei and Daizhou army, but concentrated on chasing and killing the fleeing Qinzhou army. Although the Qinzhou army succeeded in breaking through the siege, and took the opportunity to kill the Yong army who had blocked Qinshui, and rescued the remnants of the Beihan army, but under the pursuit of Changsun Ji, only 30,000 remnants escaped back to Qinyuan. , Now that Changsun Ji has blocked the Qinshui River Valley, and Chen Bing is under the Qinyuan City, it can be said that the expected goals have been achieved. Although it is not perfect, Jing Chi is seriously injured, and Li Xian also feels that it is difficult to save face, but this is still a decisive victory.
Looking at Li Xian's icy face, I sighed and said apologetically, "I have a minor illness a few days ago, and I can't help but miss my wife and children, so I have offended His Highness a lot, and I ask His Highness to forgive me."
Li Xian knew in his heart that what Jiang Zhe said was just an excuse, but he could hear the guilt and repair in his words, and when he heard Jiang Zhe mention his wife and children again, he immediately thought of Shen'er's tenderness and naivety. Appearance, his heart softened, and his anger gradually dissipated. After thinking about it, although he had already pointed to the marriage, whether the marriage will be smooth in the future still needs Jiang Zhe to complete it. Li Xian's face showed a smile that was not a smile, and he gave up on He Jiang. Zhe said with a small smile: "This king also knows that it is actually a big victory, but I just think of such a useless, not only let Lin Bi break out, but also send tens of thousands of remnants to Qinyuan, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment. Besides, Jing The general was stabbed and seriously injured, which also made this king angry."
When I saw that Li Xian had eased, I also smiled and said, "Your Highness, now that the enemy chieftain is in control, it would be a rare honor to capture Long Tingfei alive and offer him prisoners." I thought I could get Li Xian's approval. After all, the credit of capturing the enemy's commander is enough to make Li Xian proud, and it can also make up for his loss of face this time. Contrary to my expectations, Li Xian not only did not agree, but frowned and said: "It's very difficult, this king has fought with Long Tingfei for many years, and he knows what he is like. I would rather die than be captured and humiliated, not to mention others, it is this king, if there is a possibility of falling into the hands of the enemy, there is only one way to go."
I was shocked and looked at Li Xian with new eyes. After many setbacks and blows, the formerly domineering and domineering His Royal Highness King Qi, on the premise of not changing the arrogant temperament of the past, has also become deep in his mind. Turning his eyes to the battlefield, he saw Long Tingfei and his guards who were trapped in the siege. Everyone's faces were very peaceful. The killing in their hands seemed to have no way of affecting their mood. I sighed softly. I thought I was good at grasping people's hearts. There is still some deviation from this kind of battlefield warrior. It is impossible for Long Tingfei to be captured. I remember that someone once said to me that when the hunting palace changed that day, the emperor was forced into a desperate situation by Wen Ziyan, and he intended to die. Now that I think about it, although Li Zhi, Li Xian and Long Tingfei are very different in status, but One thing is similar, that is, they are all real generals. For them, they can die in battle, they can be defeated, but they must not be captured and humiliated. Suddenly, I have a little more respect and attention to the bloody battlefield, let me, a weak person with a weak heart, witness the final style of the peerless famous general with my own eyes.
At this time, Li Xian sighed and said: "Although it is impossible, this king cannot just give up. If Long Tingfei can surrender, the blow to the heart of the Northern Han army cannot be estimated." The situation was completely under the control of the Yong army, so the Yong army stopped the attack and only surrounded the remnants of the Northern Han army. , to rearrange the nearly collapsed circle. The battlefield suddenly became quiet, except for the heavy breathing and the whining of the warhorses, there was silence between the heavens and the earth.
Li Xiance immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "General Long, you are now in a desperate situation. Apart from these hundreds of personal guards, there is no soldier or soldier you can mobilize. This king respects you for your loyalty and admiration for your military strategy. Wushuang, if you are willing to give up your weapons and surrender, this king promises that you will definitely be a guest, even if you are a gentleman, you will not insult your soldiers. Even if you give up your resistance now, the lord of Northern Han will not be harsh, so why fight to the death, doesn't the general cherish these soldiers who are loyal to you?"
Long Tingfei, who was surrounded by his own guards, heard the words and slowly looked around. He saw only a few hundred guards, all of whom were already exhausted, their shirts shattered, and blood penetrated the red shirts, making people indistinguishable. Clear where is the blood, where is the true color of the shirt. The bow and arrow have long been broken, and the steel knife has been blunted. Every guard's brows are deeply tired. Except for despair, there is indifference in his eyes. Everyone here already knows that death will come at any time. Long Tingfei smiled slightly, and said, "You all stand aside, let Long Mou and His Highness King Qi speak a few words."
Those personal guards didn't move, and quickly separated a path. From the gap in the circle, Long Tingfei and Li Xian saw each other face to face again. Wei didn't hesitate at all. Anyway, it was already a mortal situation. What does it matter if King Qi took the opportunity to attack, and although they hated the enemy's commander to the core, they also knew that he was also a hero of the world and would never do anything against his promises. Real heroes and heroes can only get to know each other through bloody battles.
Long Tingfei's eyes fell behind Li Xian, the scholar dressed in azure clothes, described as haggard, but with a relaxed attitude. This time his defeat was due to the joint effort of Li Zhi and Li Xian, if he hadn't expected it. Li Zhi would dispatch a large army to assist Li Xian in dealing with him at such a dangerous time. How could there be such a fiasco, and Li Zhi and Li Xian could cooperate smoothly. The only person who threaded the needle was this man in Tsing Yi - Hou Jiangzhe of Chu Township. However, his eyes flashed, and finally fell on Li Xian, no matter how careful the strategy, if there is no such person to fight hard, he will never fall into the siege.
After taking off his helmet, he threw it off his horse, Long Tingfei smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi, you are also the commander of the first army, how could you not know that the commander was captured, it is a great shame, Long is not talented, and he is also a general, I am the Long family. For generations to receive the great kindness of the lord of the country, and to entrust heavy power, the wife is a princess, the outside is entrusted with the righteousness of the ruler and the minister, and the kindness of the flesh and blood is bound inward.
Li Xian said: "This king also knows that General Long is righteous, and will never be resigned, but the general can be willing to die, don't all your soldiers deserve to die? Well, this king can be loyal to the monarch. Why don't General Long order, order The soldiers under his command surrender to this king, and this king can guarantee their lives are safe. In the future, the emperor will give amnesty to the world, and this king promises to let these soldiers go back to their fields. , An guarding the countryside, doesn't the general want to leave some heroes and heroes for the Northern Han?"
Long Tingfei smiled lightly and said calmly: "His Royal Highness King Qi said it well, since Long Mou is already in trouble, there is no need to drag them to be my company, gentlemen, you have already paid enough for the King and Long Mou. , today Long Mou has trapped you to the death, and you are still fighting desperately. You have done your duty and your loyalty is worthy of your heart. Long Mou now orders that you can surrender. This is Long Mou's order. In the future If you have the opportunity to see the lord again, you can report to the king and say what Long said, you are not cowards who are greedy for life and fear of death, but the warriors of my Northern Han Dynasty."
When these personal guards heard Long Tingfei's words, they all had tears in their eyes and remained silent. They naturally knew what was going on in front of them. The coach had already declared that he would not surrender, but let them abandon their weapons. Long Tingfei's thoughts, They can naturally understand, but how can they feel at ease by abandoning the Lord and stealing their lives. A young guard in his early twenties suddenly covered his face and burst into tears. His face was covered in blood, mixed with tears and blood, and he became more and more embarrassed. His cry seemed to be a signal. A guard lowered his head sadly, and the steel knife in his hand fell Dust, and then, one after another, the guards began to cry, their weapons began to drop, and they had obviously accepted the next fate.
Li Xian did not order Yong Jun to accept the prisoners, but just watched all this quietly.
Long Tingfei showed a bright smile and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi, you and I have been fighting for many years, and we are considered to be confidants of God. I have something entrusted to you. I don't know if you are willing to agree."
Li Xian said cautiously: "This king and the general cherish each other, it is not a day, as long as Li Xian can do it, he must do his best."
Long Tingfei's eyes became gentle and distant, he thought about how to phrase it, and then said: "Long Mou lost his wife and has no children, so there is no need to worry about the aftermath, as for the fathers and sons of the clan, they are all loyal ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty. There is no need for Long to worry about life and death, disaster or fortune, they will live and die together with the Northern Han. There is only one thing that Long can’t let go of, that is, Princess Lin Bi of Jiaping, Long’s fiancee.”
Li Xian was stunned. Lin Bi was the princess of the Northern Han Dynasty. Even if Long Tingfei was worried, he should not have told himself about it. He looked weird and said: "General don't need to worry, Princess Jiaping has successfully broken through the siege, and should have returned to Qinyuan now."
Long Tingfei smiled lightly and said, "It's not that Long is hypocritical. If the Northern Han Dynasty can not be annexed by Dayong, it is useless to mention this matter. If it is unfortunate, it will be included in Dayong's territory. Although Princess Bi is a member of the royal family, she is also The commander-in-chief of the Daizhou Army, the Daizhou Army has defended the territory for more than a hundred years, defended the Hu Barbarians in Yanmen, and made a contribution to the Sheji. Unless Dayong wants to slaughter the people of Daizhou, he will eventually appease Daizhou. If he kills Bi Princess, I'm afraid that there will be no peace in Daizhou, so please ask your Highness to enter the camera to protect the Lin family, and Long can guarantee that once the Lin family in Daizhou surrenders, there will be no two hearts."
Li Xian hesitated for a while, and finally said: "This matter is of great importance. This king can't guarantee it, but he must try his best. My imperial brother is wise and martial, and he will not easily harm loyal and brave people."
A look of relief flashed in Long Tingfei's eyes, and he said: "There is one more thing, if Dayong dominates the world and Princess Bi is safe and sound, Long hopes that His Royal Highness can take care of her on my behalf."
Li Xian's body trembled. If he hadn't grabbed the reins in time, he would have almost fallen off his horse, as if the secret in his heart had been revealed. He blushed and said, "General Long, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Long Tingfei seemed to have seen through Li Xian's intentions and said solemnly: "Long Mou is nonsense, although Princess Bi and I have already been named, but we have not yet married, although we have no fate, but after all, everyone is They all regard her as Mrs. Long, I am afraid that even if Princess Bi intends to choose another good mate, no one dares to ask the phoenix. Princess Bi is a hero among women. The hero of the world, Long is also very respectful, Princess Bi mentioned the encounter in the East China Sea, Long believes that the two also have the intention of confidant and cherish each other, if possible, Long hopes that the prince can take good care of her."
Li Xian was even more red-faced, and it took a long time to say: "Princess Bi has both talent and beauty, and is a famous general in the world, a hero among women, but Li Xian is a romantic and notorious, how can he be worthy of Princess Bi, not to mention..." Speaking of this , Li Xian suddenly stopped talking, just because he suddenly discovered the secret deep in his heart, after a while in Donghai, he actually fell in love with Lin Bi, but because of Luo Fu's husband and hostile status, he never dared to Thinking about it a lot, now suddenly there is an upright opportunity for him to pursue Lin Bi, and he is naturally reluctant to refuse lightly.
Seeing this, Long Tingfei couldn't help but smile and said, "If Princess Bi has permission in the future, I don't know if the prince is willing to agree to this marriage?"
Li Xian was ruthless, ignoring the stunned cronies behind him, and said, "If Princess Bi agrees, Li Xian will definitely live up to the trust." After saying this, Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, probably he didn't. There is a chance to have a direct descendant of the county lord and recruit Shen'er as his son-in-law.
Long Tingfei's expression softened and he smiled: "Long naturally hopes that my Northern Han Dynasty will be prosperous, but I also sincerely wish the prince that everything goes well. Although there are some contradictions, the prince should know that Long is sincere."
Li Xian's face was stunned and he was speechless. Long Tingfei also ignored him and whispered: "Blood blood and yellow sand, loyal souls are buried deep, Long Tingfei died today, there is still lingering hatred, if he can still be loyal to the lord after his death, it would be great!" , Long Tingfei's long sword was unsheathed, cold light flashed, blue blood flowed, and the body fell off the horse in the exclamation of everyone. The soldiers of the two armies originally saw him chatting, laughing and feasting. Although they were entrusting the latter, they had a calm demeanor, and they even gave birth to the illusion that he would not beg for death. Who knew that he would bow his head and whisper, but suddenly drew his sword and killed himself. All by surprise. Long Tingfei's mount is also a rare dragon horse and a good horse. At this moment, his body is covered in blood, and he can't see the heroic appearance of the past. When he saw his master fall before the horse, the war horse whimpered and arched his master's gradually cold body from time to time, hissing. The cry was mournful and sad, and it was heartbreaking to hear.
Li Xian was sad, and was about to order the aftermath when one of Long Tingfei's personal guard suddenly shouted loudly: "The general treats us like a mountain, how can we make the general go alone." The original weapon of this personal guard had been abandoned, but when he fought He was seriously injured, and a sharp arrow penetrated his arm. Although the body of the arrow was cut off, the arrow was still deeply pierced into the flesh. The personal guard was full of grief and anger at this moment, and he reached out his hand to pull out the arrow and brought out a mass of flesh and blood. The personal guard ignored it, the arrow pierced his throat, and immediately died of anger and fell to the ground. The other guard who was crying and weeping saw this and shouted: "General!" He leaned over to pick up the discarded saber and committed suicide. Their actions infected everyone. Those personal guards who abandoned their weapons after listening to Long Tingfei's order were now full of shame and unbearable grief. When they saw this, they all shouted "General" and cut themselves off.
Li Xian said loudly: "No!" But it was too late, but in a flash, hundreds of personal guards had committed suicide. Li Xian put down his hands in a slump, and couldn't help but feel disappointed that no one was rescued. The warriors of the Northern Han Dynasty were indeed loyal. In the center of the battlefield, Long Tingfei's mount suddenly whined and ran to the east. No one in Yong Jun could have thought of stopping this horse, let go of the defense line, and let the war horse escape.
I watched from the back, although Long Tingfei’s move was unexpected, but it was not incomprehensible. He must have known in his heart that no matter whether he succeeded in breaking through the encirclement, the Northern Han Dynasty was already at sunset, and all he had to entrust his funeral to Li Xian. move. However, I didn't expect him to entrust Lin Bi to Li Xian. How this matter has been resolved, whether it is beneficial or disadvantageous, I began to ponder secretly.
Next, Li Xian ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, and I followed Li Xian all the time to see how he arranged it. Li Xian personally ordered a tomb for Long Tingfei to be buried in the wilderness of Ji's family, and he also ordered to bury the dead soldiers next to him, making a large tomb called the Tomb of Loyalty. On the day of the burial, there was a report from the Yong army, Long Ting flew to Qinshui with his horses, and wailed and wept blood on the shore of Qinshui, and then sank into it. When Li Xian heard this, he sighed and said nothing. I was also very upset, so I proposed to bring the corpse of the war horse and bury it on the side of Long Tingfei's tomb. Li Xian immediately agreed and asked to do so. The tomb of this war horse was given the name "Yima Tomb" by Li Xian. "
Before our army headed north, we came to the tomb of Longtingfei again. Although it was only a few days, I saw that there were fragrant flowers offering offerings in front of the tomb. I don’t know who came to pay homage. Although I killed you, this is also a helpless thing. I will help you to fulfill your last wish. I hope you don't blame me under the Nine Springs. Come to claim my life." For some reason, I felt that there was a gust of wind in front of the grave, I shivered, and decided to leave immediately.
