Li Yi looked at Jierhalang and said: "You are my prisoner now. Only living prisoners are valuable."

Zhu Qilong jumped off his horse and tied Jierhalang with a rope.

Jierharang, with his hair disheveled, stared at Li Yi with a distorted expression, and shouted: "Li Yi, if you don't kill me today, I will kill you with my own hands in the future."

Li Yi was not angry. Instead, he looked down at Jierhalang and said, "You just want to kill me so much that you end up in this situation."

After speaking, he lifted the horse's belly slightly and urged the horse to rush towards Zu Dashou in the distance.

Zu Dashou was guarded by hundreds of elite cavalry and patrolled the battlefield. Except for a few cavalrymen who took advantage of the chaos to escape, most of the Jin army was shattered under the charge of Guan Ning's cavalry. After suffering heavy casualties, they all fell to the ground and surrendered.

In this battle, it was not that the Hou Jin Army was weak in combat power, nor that Jierhalang's command was incompetent. In fact, even if Li Yi personally led the army to a decisive battle with the Hou Jin Army, the outcome would be between 50 and 50.

Jierhalang's only miscalculation was that he actually appeared in Fuzhou without the Liaodong Guanning Army.

Li Yi urged the war horses to come to Zu Dashou, cupped his hands and said: "The commander-in-chief has come to help me personally. I am very grateful."

Zu Dashou defeated the Hou Jin army in one fell swoop and beheaded countless people. He was in a very happy mood and laughed loudly and said: "Zizheng, you are really a blessed general. With you, I can always kill generals and capture the flag and achieve great achievements."

Li Yi smiled and said: "The commander is joking. If you hadn't led the troops to help this time and defeated the Donglu army, Liu Zhi and I would have died on the battlefield."

Liu Zhi covered the wound on his shoulder and said with a grin: "Zizheng, did Jierharang escape?"

Li Yi said: "Jilharang has been captured alive by my personal guards."

When they heard that an important general of Donglu was captured, Liu Zhi and Zu Dashou both looked happy.

Zu Dashou said quickly: "Jirharang is a general under Huang Taiji. You have captured this man alive this time, which is another great achievement."

Li Yi smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief helped me out this time. Since I have contributed a lot, I will naturally share the responsibility of the commander-in-chief."

Zu Dashou saw that Li Yi was so sensible and laughed and said, "You are so generous, kid."

After speaking, he looked around and said in a low voice: "This time, the Superintendent sent me to help out. Before leaving, let me remind you that he has already planned to negotiate with Mao Wenlong."

Li Yi nodded. After a year, Yuan Chonghuan has initially taken control of the Liaoxi generals, and it is time to deal with Dongjiang Town.

Thinking of this, he said: "Mao Wenlong has been very abnormal during this period. All the major islands are building fortifications. It seems that he does have rebellious intentions. However, after I interacted with Chen Jisheng and other generals, they were all frightened by Mao Wenlong's actions in Dongjiang Town.

Prestige is actually not about Zhongzhen and Mao Wenlong, so I plan to take the opportunity to divide Dongjiang Town to prevent the worst case scenario from happening."

The worst case scenario is that Mao Wenlong rebels and Dongjiang Town threatens Shandong and Ningyuan areas.

If Li Yi can win over Chen Jisheng and other generals, he can stabilize half of Dongjiang Town, and the situation will not collapse suddenly.

Zu Dashou did not expect that Li Yi would actually come up with such a clever trick, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying: "This plan is really brilliant. Zizheng, your ideas and methods will always surprise me and the supervisor."

The soldiers cleaned the battlefield and organized the army into formation. Li Yi and Zu Dashou returned to the army together.

Mao Wenlong led the Chinese army forward slowly. He looked gloomy and stared at Li Yi and Zu Dashou beside him, his eyes full of resentment.

It's really abominable, Li Yi was clearly trapped in a tight siege, but in the end he was rescued by Zu Dashou.

Kong Youde also had a solemn look on his face. He patted his horse and said, "Commander, Zu Dashou's sudden appearance is probably related to Li Yi. Yuan Chonghuan is still watching us, we must be careful."

Mao Wenlong nodded slightly. He turned back and looked at the various generals behind him. They all looked downcast and stared at him angrily.

Mao Wenlong knew that when he restrained the Chinese army and allowed Li Yi to be surrounded and killed, the generals were quite dissatisfied with him. Now that Li Yi had completely defeated Jilharang's army and made great achievements, they were not able to participate, and they were even more dissatisfied with himself.

Secretly holding grudges.

This time, I stole the chicken but lost the rice. Not only did I not take the opportunity to get rid of Li Yi, I also lost the trust of the generals.

Feeling secretly annoyed in his heart, Mao Wenlong could only eat Coptis chinensis without venting his anger.

He urged his war horse, raised his hands and said, "Commander Zu, Mr. Li, you two put on a good show, but you actually kept me in the dark."

Zu Dashou smiled coldly, clasped his fists and said: "Old Mao, you old boy, do you know how to fight? Mr. Li, a civil servant, charged in the front, but you stayed behind and didn't dare to attack. I think you are getting more and more active.

"

It is really unjustifiable that Mao Wenlong stood still this time and watched Li Yi being surrounded by the Hou Jin army.

Although Mao Wenlong was furious in his heart, he could only smile stiffly and said: "Jiannu is brave and has a large number of troops. If I attack rashly, I fear that the army will be defeated. Mr. Li is brave and invincible, so he can naturally hold on for a while. By then, the formation of Jiannu will be chaotic.

, exhausted and weak, if I attack with all my strength, I can defeat the Jiannu army in one fell swoop."

This excuse was quite reasonable, and Zu Dashou sneered and said nothing.

But Li Yi looked around and saw that Chen Jisheng was not there, so he said, "Shuai Mao, why isn't Mr. Chen here?"

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment and said: "Chen Jisheng contradicted my officer in public and defied the general. I have ordered him to be arrested."

"Catch him? Mr. Chen is the deputy general of Dongjiang Town. He kills the enemy on the battlefield. How can he be caught suddenly?" Zu Dashou on the side said with a look of surprise.

Mao Wenlong frowned and said, "Commander Zu, this is my private matter in Dongjiang Town, right?"

Zu Dashou did not have the right to take care of this matter, but Li Yi, as the censor of Qiandu, supervising the border on behalf of the emperor, did have the right.

Chen Jisheng was upright and loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Of course, Li Yi wanted to keep him, so he said: "Shuai Mao, Mr. Chen is also worried about the war, so he lost his mind. Now that Jierharang's army has been defeated, Shuai Mao can also let go

Are you done with Mr. Chen?"

Mao Wenlong frowned and did not want to speak.

Li Yi is the censor of Qiandu. Naturally, if he does not let him go, he will definitely report to the court and impeach himself. But if he lets him go, wouldn't he admit that he is wrong?

Mao Wenlong was unwilling to surrender to Li Yi. He thought for a while and said: "Chen Jisheng disobeyed the general's orders and acted impulsively. This matter is of great significance. If he is not severely punished, how can I run the army?"

Li Yi listened and laughed and said: "Commander, Chen Jisheng is the deputy general of Dongjiang. How to deal with it must be decided by the court and reported to the governor. If you do this, where will the court be and where will the governor be?"

Mao Wenlong ignored it and said: "Chen Jisheng will handle it himself. Mr. Li has worked hard today, so he should rest as soon as possible."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

But it is impossible for Li Yi to give up. If he cannot save Chen Jisheng today, then his efforts these days will be in vain.

Thinking of this, he urged his war horses to stop Mao Wenlong, and said solemnly: "Commander Mao, Chen Jisheng surrounded Jinzhou Prefecture and made many meritorious deeds. He is a meritorious minister. Even if he really made a mistake, he should report it to the court for punishment. You took action today without permission."

Does lynching really treat the court as if it is nothing?"

Li Yi's words were really heartbreaking, and the generals around him were talking about it. Mao Wenlong was angry and glared at Li Yi and said: "I am a military attache of the imperial court, how can I treat the imperial court as nothing? Mr. Li, you keep pestering me and want to keep Chen Jisheng.

I think you are colluding with the border area and have evil intentions."

The two were fighting head-on, and everyone could feel the biting chill.

At this time, Zu Dashou said: "The dispatch of troops this time is the order of the Superintendent. Today's Dongjiang matter can be regarded as the jurisdiction of the Superintendent. If Marshal Mao is really worried about national affairs, he should let Chen Jisheng go. Otherwise, I will naturally ask the Superintendent to come forward.

.”

Mao Wenlong turned his head and looked at Zu Dashou with a gloomy expression.

At this time, Kong Youde said: "Master Li, the commander-in-chief was just worried that Chen Jisheng would be impulsive and disrupt the situation, so he arrested him. Now that the war is over, he will naturally be released."

Mao Wenlong glanced at Kong Youde and winked at him. He also knew that now was not the time for a head-on conflict with Yuan Chonghuan, so he said, "In that case, let Chen Jisheng go."

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and returned to Fuzhou City.

Seeing Mao Wenlong relent, all the generals had different expressions on their faces.

You must know that Mao Wenlong has always been right in Dongjiang Town, but now he actually surrenders in front of Mr. Li, which is really rare.

Xu Fuzou and other generals also understood that Li Yi not only had the emperor's trust, but also the support of Yuan Chonghuan. In this way, no one in Dongjiang and Liaodong could really overpower him.

Zu Dashou looked at Mao Wenlong's figure and said: "Zizheng, I will lead the troops into Fuzhou. Huang Taiji will get the news soon. I will return to Jinzhou today. You will have to bear more responsibility for the Dongjiang incident."

Hearing this, Li Yi cupped his hands and said, "Master Zu, be careful."

Zu Dashou nodded and mobilized his soldiers to prepare to return to Liaodong.

At this time, Xu Fuzhuo and other generals came up and said with a smile: "Sir, you are acting as the vanguard today. When the battle situation is urgent, we are very worried. Unfortunately, Marshal Mao does not allow us to send troops, so..."

Xu Fuzou looked at Li Yi's expression and wanted to see something.

Li Yi naturally understood what they meant and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it. Today, Marshal Mao is commanding the Chinese army. You and others must obey the general. I still know this."

The generals were happy when they heard this. Compared to the extremely powerful Mao Wenlong, they still liked the gentle Li Yi, not to mention that Li Yi had two backers, Yuan Chonghuan and the emperor. If they could be on good terms with him, they would surely prosper in the future.

.

At that moment, they all showed enthusiastic compliments and flattery. Li Yi refused to accept anyone who came and made good friends with them.

After regaining the city, Jinzhou City was in danger. Of course, Mao Wenlong would not miss this opportunity. He immediately asked Mao Chenglu and Geng Zhongming to lead a group of generals and five thousand troops to attack Jinzhou City. However, the defenders of Jinzhou City were still

There were more than a thousand people, plus Zhu Shen in the city, blocking the Dongjiang Army from outside the city, and an siege turned into a siege.

Mao Wenlong was furious. Li Yi sent 2,000 troops to capture Fuzhou. However, he sent 5,000 troops but could not capture the Jinzhou defenders who had become alone. He immediately increased his troops and asked Mao Chenglu to capture Jinzhou City no matter what.

.

However, when Li Yi attacked a city, he never attacked the city head-on, because he understood that the Ming army's organization was too low, and once it lost 10% of its troops, it would be immediately defeated, so he mostly used strategies to attack the city.

Mao Chenglu was forced to have no choice but to force the Ming army to attack the city with all its strength. He suffered heavy losses under the bows and arrows of the Jin army, and his morale collapsed and he fled back to the camp. Then the Jin army took the opportunity to leave the city to cover up the attack, and the Ming army fled one after another, breaking up Mao Chenglu's formation.

In the end, it led to a great rout, and the Hou Jin soldiers chased them for hundreds of miles, killing and injuring thousands of people.
