Zhang Xian was speechless and could only stand there and watch. However, he had already made up his mind that if Yang Zaixing lost his share, he would not have any military merit to speak of this time.

However, the expected fierce fight did not happen. It was not known whether Yang Zaixing was too strong or Xu Dadao had already been injured. The former rushed over on horseback, and the latter turned around to face him. But after just a moment, Yang Zaixing raised his spear, accurately pierced the opponent's abdomen through the gap in his armor, and then threw him casually on the pile of corpses.

After killing this man, Yang Zaixing did not take his head or report anything. He just rode away and continued to lead his men to pursue other defeated soldiers.

Li Kui, who was standing by in shock, was a meticulous man. He remembered that Xu Wen and Xu Dadao were old friends of his, so he quickly led his team to rush out and personally deal with the situation... However, at this time, Xu Dadao was thrown to the ground with blood flowing from his abdomen. Although it was obvious that he was beyond saving, his chest was still rising and falling, and he seemed to be still breathing.

Li Kui sighed, then stepped forward and took off the other man's mask and helmet.

"Brother Li!" Xu Wen's mouth and nose were bleeding, and his eyes were blurry. But when he saw Li Kui, he spoke soberly again. "Back then, everyone in Mizhou said that you were the most meticulous and could understand the general situation. When we meet again today, it turns out that the rest of us deserved to die, but you are the only one who is so glorious. It shows that you are really meticulous, and we are all pretending to be heroic..."

Li Kui saw that the other party was clearly having a last gasp of energy. He had a lot to say to the other party, but now he was completely speechless. He could only hold the knife and sigh: "I heard that after Lao Du and the others died, you took Lao Du and their families to my home in Laizhou. I can't lose face, so I will take good care of them for you!"

Xu Wen nodded and was about to speak for a moment, but after glancing at the Song soldiers who were cautiously approaching the flag obscured by the corpses, he chose to shake his head. In the end, he said nothing, but the anger in his chest escaped and he immediately stopped moving.

After a moment, Li Kui suddenly realized why Xu Wen had behaved strangely in his last moments... It turned out that there was no one else under his command, not even Li Cheng. Xu Wen was being loyal until his death and was buying time for Li Cheng who had already escaped.

Although the long-sword cavalry were almost wiped out, it did not mean that there were no other defeated soldiers mixed in and survived under the general's flag. Soon, several defeated soldiers quickly gave a definite answer - Li Chengguo was not here. This time the general's flag was raised privately after Xu Wen discovered it and was unable to turn back to rescue. As for Li Ben, the Grand Commander of the Pseudo-Qi, after failing to raise the flag three times, he simply gave up and fled directly to the northwest.

At this point, he might have already escaped from the battlefield.

After hearing the report, Zhang Xian immediately came to his senses. Without waiting for Yue Fei to give instructions, he directly sent orders nearby. On the one hand, he personally led the cavalry to pursue to the northwest, and on the other hand, he ordered Li Kui to lead some infantry to follow. Their purpose was to seize the Zibo City between Longshui and Ziboshui!

It was between two rivers and was the only city within dozens of miles of the battlefield.

When the news reached Yue Fei, Yue Pengju, who had just arrived at a hill on the south side of the battlefield, just frowned slightly and didn't say much... At this time, the battlefield had been evacuated and a full-scale pursuit was underway. Zhang Xian also made the most sensible or rational pursuit move. The only problem was that the land of Lu was still green in late summer and early autumn, and there were forest areas behind the hills on both sides. Once Li Cheng gave up going to Zibo City to receive the surrendered soldiers and instead escaped directly, he would have to rely on luck.

As for Xu Dadao's sense of loyalty, it can only be said that he is not good at big righteousness, but only good at small righteousness. Yue Fei is too lazy to pay attention to him.

"General Tian." In fact, Yue Fei heard the message and hesitated for a moment before dismounting. He looked at the general in front of him seriously. It was Tian Shizhong who was sitting on the hill in a daze. "The opportunity for battle is rare. Please give the order to mobilize the Hucheng troops behind you and the scattered defenders in Yidu and other places. Tell them not to hesitate and quickly move westward to cooperate with our army to press into Jinan Prefecture and take Zhangqiu together."

Tian Shizhong, who was covered in dirt and extremely tired, looked up in confusion, and looked at Yue Fei with a slightly complicated look, whose half body was black and red, but who was energetic and calm. Then he was silent for a while, but turned around and called a personal guard. He took out paper and pen on the battlefield, and then wrote a few military orders with the pen dipped in a puddle of blood next to an enemy soldier's corpse that had not yet stiffened.

When the guards turned around and rode away, Tian Shizhong seemed to have recovered. Then he said to Yue Taiwei, "I have a few words to say and something to ask."

"General Tian, ​​please speak." Yue Fei remained calm.

"The general fought well!" Tian Shizhong sighed slowly. "There is a river blocking the way ahead, so many soldiers can't be gathered together. As long as we cross the river and force our way through, they will be meat on the chopping board... So after this battle, not to mention that the government wants us to take down one or two state armies, the entire pseudo-Qi will basically be in our hands... Your troops are really powerful, and you, General Yue, are also really powerful! It's rare for me to be impressed by others, and today I am impressed by another person!"

"General Tian is the one who made the greatest contribution in this battle," Yue Fei replied earnestly. "You are indeed a famous teacher in the world."

Tian Shizhong shook his head and said, "This is the second sentence of the two sentences I want to say..."

Yue Fei then realized that what the other party meant by "two sentences" was actually "two" sentences.

"General Yue, this army is the lifeblood of my general..." Tian Shizhong stared at Yue Fei and continued to sigh. "No matter how stingy he is, he has never lacked the army's pay and equipment. The officers are all veterans who have fought against the Jin people in Taiyuan and Huaishang. But with such an army, even if we went to stop the elite troops of Hezhameng'an and Loushi at Yaoshan, we would not have lost as many as today... Therefore, no matter how much I admire you, I will severely impeach you after this battle."
