Zhao Wuxi won a big victory on the west bank of Daye Jersey. When the belated encirclement finally came to fruition, the morale of the bandits collapsed and Liu Xiazhi lost control of the situation. (Baidu search network update is the fastest and most stable) He was intercepted by Mu Xia, Yu Xi, and Ran You from all sides, 10% were killed and injured, 90% Wangfeng surrendered, and it only took a moment to end the battle.

Checking the results after the war, more than 700 people were killed or wounded, and more than 2,000 people were captured. Of the 3,000-strong Yellow Turbans, less than 300 people escaped.

Then he reorganized his team and counted his casualties. Wu pawn, Yibing and Ting **** were wounded two hundred and died sixty or seventy. This was a brilliant victory, but it still made Zhao Wuxi feel a little distressed.

Most of the two or three hundred robbers who escaped escaped along the swamp and into the wetland in the lake. It was a dead end, and half of Thailand had to be submerged by the mud. Because he was not very familiar with the situation in the black quagmire, in order to avoid unnecessary damage, Zhao Wuxi did not let anyone pursue him.

In addition to this reason, because the tiger that he cared about most in this hunt has been caught and is waiting for Zhao Wuxi to check, so he is not interested in the small fish and shrimp that slipped through the net.

The tied man in front of Wu Shi was tall, with messy buns, his face was covered with black mud, and he was wearing a tight black armor, which was obviously different from the ragged group of thieves. According to the testimony of others, this was the Liu Xiazhi, the leader of the bandits.

Condescendingly, Zhao Wuxixiao looked at this person with interest, although he hadn't figured out what to do with it.

Judging from his knowledge of Liu Xiaji from Liu Xiaji, the disciples of Confucius, as well as his personal understanding of Liu Xiazhi from the enemy's rear, this person was his most troublesome opponent after coming to Lu Kingdom. His vision, courage, and judgment of the situation belonged to the superior. Wait. It can be said that he is a man of great wisdom and courage. If you can subdue it, maybe you can use it as a tyrant. It would be a pity if it was killed.

But if not kill. However, due to the public opinion of Dr. Qing and the people of the territory, it is not easy to be brought under his command. This is related to the issue of class. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, nobles and commoners were opposed to each other, and it was basically impossible for later generations to "be an official, kill and set fire to be recruited".

What's more, this man was rebellious and put forward an unprecedented slogan and program, which has transformed from a thief to an "uprising army". Although it is defeated now, it is still a banner around Onozawa, if the tiger returns to the mountain. It may be difficult to recover in the short term, but when the situation is right in the future, there is a possibility that another huge wave will be set off.

Because of the virtues of the literati and officials in the surrounding towns of Daze, Zhao Wuxi knows best, but the tyranny of the government every year causes a steady stream of people to flee in, no less than Zhao Wuxi's collection of people.

He retracted his thoughts and coughed softly, "Let him raise his head."

"Liuxiazhi" was **** with five flowers, and several sergeants pressed him to the ground with their thick hands and knelt down toward Wu-shirt. This made the tall man shudder for a while.

However, when "Liu Xiazhi" was pulled by the soldiers' hair and raised his face, he looked at the scarred face, those loyal and brave eyes, but not very wise. Zhao Wuxi blurted out subconsciously.

"You are not Liu Xiazhi!"

...

Time went back to a moment ago, facing the martial pawns who were about to encircle, Roof Zhi was in a desperate situation. The thieves looked down on the wind. There are still many people who want to turn around and arrest him to present it to Zhao Wuxi, so as to make a fortune.

"Am I going to die here today?"

He fought and retreated under the **** of several cronies. Retreat to the edge of the bushy quagmire, which has already swallowed up a lot of corpses, making it impossible to get down.

"Come here." He saw that there was no hope of breaking through. Then he called a trusted friend to his side, held his sword and said to him:

"There are very few people I admire in my life, Liu Xiazhi, one of them is the left Sima Shen Yinshu of the Chu State. After Bai Ju, he fought against the Wu army in a row and was wounded three times. He was finally defeated in Yongqi, and he could not fight again because of his serious injuries. He used to be a minister in the State of Wu, and he knew the King of Wu, Wu Yuan, Sun Wu, etc. He didn't want to be captured and humiliated, so he asked his subordinates to cut off his head and take him away. I want to follow suit today. There are two corpses. It is better for Zhao Xiaosikou to not recognize him than to hang his head on the Yuncheng Tower!"

After he finished speaking, he wanted to learn the tradition of the defeat of the Chu nobles in this era, and he drew his sword and slaughtered himself on the spot.

Seeing this, the cronies immediately hugged their legs and held hands to stop them.

A person with a stature similar to him said: "I think when the general first entered Daze, he encountered setbacks and fled alone several times. Now there are more than 2,000 soldiers and hundreds of ships on Dongyuan Island. How can I say such depressing words. The villain has pledged allegiance to the general, but he is the general's minister, and the emperor humiliates the minister to death, it is better for the general and the villain to change their clothes and armor, and then escape from the mudflat!"

Robber Zhi was extremely moved, but hesitant on his face. Seeing that more and more people were approaching, his cronies hurriedly shouted: "I also ask the general to leave quickly. I just ask the general to attack the city and conquer the land someday, and don't forget to punish the unreasonable. Your Majesty, cut down on greedy and mean doctors, equalize the rich and the poor, and wait for the promises of the noble and the lowly!"

So, the tall thief who put on the clothes of Robber Zhi became his stand-in. After wiping mud on his face, he was captured instead of Robber Zhi. Not only did Zhao Wuxi see through it at a glance, but after revealing his true face, he even captured him. Those who defected to the pirates also said no.

As for the real thief...

"Even if Liu Xiazhi escapes, he may die under the hooves of arrows and horses."

When talking about this issue, in front of Zhao Wuxi, the knelt thief laughed and said: "The general is very good at water and can hold his breath in the mud for a long time. At this time, he must have already entered the lake and traveled the world. How can you wait for Shuzi to find him!"

Hearing that Liu Xiazhi changed clothes and absconded, everyone's faces were heavy, and it was a pity that Kan Zhi, who was beside Zhao Wuxi as a herald, stomped his feet, and Ran Qiu even bowed down and asked for punishment.

"It's all about not covering up your whereabouts. If you close the circle early, you will definitely be able to capture Liu Xiazhi alive!"

Although he failed to win the battle today, Zhao Wuxi did not take his anger out. He waved his hand to get everyone to stand up, and turned to the bound robber, saying, "Young robbers dare to call themselves generals. I ask you, is it really worth exchanging your life for Liu Xiazhi's life?"

The bandit stalked his neck and said, "The life of a villain is like a mustard, and the life of a general is like a Daifu! How can we compare!"

Everyone was furious, and they all applied to show the man's head to the public, but without a shirt, he said: "It's hard to tie a tiger. It's not easy for me and Liu Xiazhi to meet each other. The guests are far away, but they leave without saying goodbye. How rude, We must send someone to chase and keep him. Invite him to Yuncheng to drink some freshly brewed Lu wine."

He became serious and ordered: "Yu Xi, quickly send light knights to search along the lake shore, you want to see people, but you want to see corpses! The rest of the people quickly identified the ingredients of these surrendered pirates and found out where they came from. The island, who is in charge of the island. Then I sent embroidered messengers to cross the lake in a boat, trying to go to each island, saying that the robbers have been destroyed. The small Sikou of the State of Lu can avoid the death penalty for the accomplices, and persuade them to early Bring people out of the lake to return, and if you find the whereabouts of the robbers, you will definitely be grateful if you bring them along."

After a while of reconciliation, the officers went their separate ways, Zhao Wuxi turned his eyes to the thief Zhi's confidant whose face suddenly turned pale: "As for you, I don't want your order. Untie it and give it to him. A boat. Let him go to Dongyuan Island to meet Liu Xiazhi and bring me a letter. If the thief is alive and can avoid my many 'invitations' one by one."

...

The blade pierced into the thin body of the fish, twisting it desperately. Its tail and muscles twitched violently.

As the warm and smelly blood gradually dripped into his mouth, the trembling between Liu Xia's metatarsal fingers gradually stopped. His stomach squeezed the life of the silverfish until he sucked the last drop of juice. So far, the fish has only bones left. Only then did he stick out his tongue and lick the scales around his mouth into his mouth, ending his only "morning meal" in two days.

The smell of blood boiled from the stomach. A low roar came out of the throat of its own accord. It was dull, long and deep.

Liu Xiazhi seemed to be familiar with this voice. He remembered that when he was six or seven years old, when he was a wild species, he hid in a tree beside the big swamp and watched a few barbarian hunters round up a wounded lone wolf. The wolf was in a desperate situation, roaring in a low voice, so similar to his current situation.

The wolf finally died, with several arrows stuck in his body, and was cut up and skinned by the hunters.

"But I don't want to die!" The desire to survive in Liu Xiazhi's heart has never been stronger.

Towards the end of his battle on the western shore of Ono Jersey, he changed into the tattered clothes of his cronies and crawled away feeling the corpse. Standing on the edge of the pool, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He slowly squatted down, like a huge deformed worm, and slowly dived into the chest-high swamp sewage.

He even let his face all over the mud, holding his breath, swimming in an extremely delicate way, until he was out of the sight of the pawns before he emerged. Next, he continued to move forward in this way. The weight of the sword was just enough to prevent him from floating, and the silt on the bottom of the water was moved in the direction he remembered. Few people know that this quagmire leads to a temporary temporary formation caused by the rainy season. Small rivers, small rivers into the big lake.

In this way, he avoided the big rope, left the lake shore, and then crossed the waterway for dozens of miles with superb swimming skills, and came to an island controlled by the group of thieves.

Here, Liu Xiazhi was warmly received by the "island owner", and the enthusiasm reached an abnormal level. Only then did he keep an eye on it, and he stole a boat and escaped overnight. Sure enough, the ropes used to slaughter pigs and slaughter sheep were actually used to tie the robber's feet. After wiping the robber's feet on the island, the island owner just bowed his head and surrendered to the messenger sent by Zhao Xiaosi Kou.

He spent two days in the depressed mood of betrayal and separation, using raw fish and turtles as food, and stunned back to Dongyuan Island.

At this time, the news that Robber Zhi was dead, or that he had been captured and taken to Yuncheng was spreading wildly on the island. Except for Dongyuan Island, many islands in Onozawa responded to Zhao Wuxi's surrender. A trend of total collapse.

Fortunately, his return stabilized a mutiny on Dongyuan Island and eased the situation of the islands falling down a little.

The cold wind of late autumn blew his face, and Liu Xiazhi, who had changed into a suit of armor, stood on the top of the mountain in a trance, looking west. About to sunset, the tireless rumble of the waves is still the same, the power contained in Dahu's anger is still astonishing, but his power has shrunk significantly compared to before the war, so far, the population and soldiers controlled by Rogue Zhi have been reduced. Halfway ~lightnovelpub.net~ ships come to spy from time to time, but instead of docking, they face off against the long boats in the fishing port and in the reeds. Those are the bandit leaders of the islands who have taken refuge in Zhao Wuxi, and there may be some on board. Zhao Wuxi's messenger.

"Fortunately, I was prepared to gather most of the ships, and even the family members of several island owners and cave owners on Dongyuan Island, making them want to surrender but are afraid. So there are still more than a thousand young people who can be used by me, but I can at most It can last for a few months, and when winter comes, I will be short of food and clothing, and if it encounters rain and snow..."

His prestige had fallen to its lowest point and could no longer be maintained.

By then, a single porridge hut in Yuncheng would be able to outsmart five thousand soldiers, and he, and the forces he had worked so hard to manage, would only be disintegrating!

Gradually, the color of the world dimmed, he watched the mist rise on the lake, the dawn of the setting sun gradually dissipated, the clouds became as gray as his mood, the green lake turned into a dark abyss, the cliffs on the island The cold wind blew in the gap, like an old woman crying for her husband and son who had not returned home.

At this moment, Liu Xiazhi learned that the cronie who was captured for him had returned in a small boat, and he also brought a handwritten letter from Zhao Xiaosikou! (To be continued...)
