Chapter 164 Li Min'an defeats the enemy with one move
This was the first time that the imperial court sent troops to clear out the rebels. The imperial court did not take any action at all regarding the lost Beiyang and even Huai'an. It dared not even say a word to the gods. But it was different in Dongyin. A rebel appeared in Dongyin.
Prince Gao Zhan of Qi in Beiyang was killed by thunderbolt sent down by the Dragon King, and Prince Gao Xu of Liang in Huai'an was punished by eating himself for disrespecting the gods. These were places that people could not reach. Even if the emperor had sent people to order several princes to send troops to seize these places, no one dared to move.
But it was different in Dongyin. King Gao Yi of Jin in Dongyin died, but he died at the hands of a poor commoner. This is unacceptable!
Imperial power is supposed to be supreme, even higher than divine power at its most powerful moment. Therefore, facing the gods, Emperor Gao Xi of Daxia had no ability to resist at all. Other princes did not dare to do anything to protect themselves, but for ordinary people who rebelled, Emperor Gao Xi would naturally strike hard.
How could an ordinary untouchable kill the prince? Such a person should be torn into pieces! If such a person is not punished, and the people of the world follow suit, wouldn't it be chaos?
Even though Daxia had become a foreign country, Emperor Gao Xi still believed that the poor could not attack the royal family. The royal family was born noble, so how could they be oppressed by the untouchables?
General Shao Rongwei led 50,000 elite soldiers from the capital all the way to Dongyin, which took about ten days. Just outside Yong'an County in Dongyin, the 50,000-strong army was at the city gate, and the people inside had already made preparations for the confrontation.
The people of Dongyin spontaneously picked up all the weapons they could find at home and gathered together in the city. If the army broke through Yong'an County, they would rather die than fight against these people from Daxia!
Daxia is about to fall! The future emperor will be Immortal Li! Immortal Li will also give them land! Let them farm and have enough to eat! If Immortal Li dies, they will all die!!!
The people of Dongyin gathered together at this time, working together as one. On the city wall, Li Min'an stood there, watching the army approaching below. In this situation, many people around him were a little nervous. After all, they were just ordinary people, and the most amazing thing they had done in their lives was to follow Li Min'an in rebellion.
But up to now, the entire Yong'an County has only a total of 40,000 soldiers, and they were all recruited not long ago. Their combat effectiveness is a joke. However, the people are very supportive of Li Min'an. To be honest, they feel guilty and a little scared when facing the 50,000 elite troops sent by the court.
Zhuge Tianzong looked serious at this moment, looking at the generals below, knowing that this was a life-or-death battle, and also Li Min'an's first battle to conquer Daxia. If he could capture Daxia's general Shao Rongwei, then he would be famous throughout the world!!!
Are you still worried that there won’t be capable and righteous people coming to join you at that time?
However, facing so many elite soldiers, Zhuge Tianzong was a little worried. Thinking of the team that had gone around behind, he hoped that everything would go smoothly.
He didn't know at this moment that his lord was daydreaming.
That's right, at such a tense moment, Li Min'an was not panicked at all. His eyes fell on the general Shao Rongwei below, and he was a little distracted.
...How did he persuade General Shao Rongwei to surrender in his previous life?
Thinking about the chat with the reborn Princess Ying a few days ago, Li Min'an learned that the most powerful person under his command was still Shao Rongwei, the former general of Da Xia. This news surprised Li Min'an. At the same time, he was curious about how he managed to persuade the other party to surrender. However, when he asked again, Liu Wen was unwilling to say.
At that time, Liu Wen just smiled mysteriously and said that you will know how you did it when the time comes.
Now facing the enemy army approaching, what should he do to make Shao Rongwei surrender to him?
Li Min'an kept thinking of ways in his mind, but at this moment, Chen Lifu and Ding Ergou actually captured two tied women and went up to the city wall. Just as he was about to ask something, he heard the general Shao Rongwei roaring downstairs.
"Li Min'an! How could you be so cruel and ruthless as to kidnap my mother and wife! You despicable villain!!!"
???
What are you talking about? When did I arrest your mother and your wife?
Li Min'an was stunned by the question. When he turned around, he saw his two brothers grinning foolishly.
"General, I just saw two women sneaking around the city gate, so I arrested them. After questioning them, I found out that they were actually General Shao Rongwei's mother and wife! So I brought them here!"
??? Hey guys, don’t you feel something is wrong???
Li Min'an was bewildered by Ding Ergou's words. He thought, "How could you have just grabbed two women and they're General Shao Rongwei's mother and wife? And shouldn't these two be in the capital? How did they end up here? And were they captured by you?"
Don’t you feel something is wrong???
As Li Min'an was surprised, he heard the old woman who was captured next to him, the mother of General Shao Rongwei, shouting to the bottom.
"Son! Surrender now! General Li said that if you surrender, he will not attack the army! He will also distribute land to all the soldiers! After we conquer the world, we will distribute land to all the people!!!"
??? I didn’t say that!
Li Min'an looked at the old woman next to him in shock, thinking, "Did I say that land would be distributed to all the soldiers? But it would be distributed to the civilians in due course, so it seemed that this was not wrong."
"Husband!! Surrender!! General Li not only captured my mother and me, but also all the children in the family. If you don't surrender, I'm afraid the entire Shao family will be killed. You are ashamed of the Shao family's ancestors!!!"
Just when Li Min'an was speechless, the young woman next to him suddenly shouted loudly. What she said made Li Min'an's heart skip a beat. He glared at his two brothers and whispered.
"Have you arrested Shao Rongwei's entire family?"
Ding Ergou and Chen Lifu immediately shook their heads and denied it.
"No, we only arrested these two people."
So... what are you talking about? What are you throwing at me?
Li Min'an turned his head and questioned the woman in front of him who seemed to be the wife of General Shao Rongwei with his eyes. He wanted to say, "I didn't capture your child... What are you doing?"
Before he could ask anything, he heard Shao Rongwei speaking again from the army below.
"Li Min'an! You actually captured everyone in my Shao family and threatened me! But I, Shao Rongwei, am not someone you can threaten casually! Today, I, Shao Rongwei, am leading an army of 50,000 to capture you, the traitor..."
Shao Rongwei started to threaten Li Min'an and said calmly, "I really didn't arrest your family. It was obvious that they came to my door on their own!"
Just as Li Min'an was thinking this, he saw his soldiers capturing many old women and girls, and even some very old men climbing up the city wall.
Then, without Li Min'an saying anything, he heard these old men and women start shouting towards the crowd.
"Son! Surrender! Your mother and I have been captured by General Li! But General Li is a good man! He conquered the country for the benefit of the people! He wanted to ensure that the people could farm and have good food..."
"Husband! Surrender! My son and I have been captured by General Li! But General Li doesn't hold grudges. He doesn't care that you were once soldiers of Daxia. As long as you surrender, you will be General Li's people! When the world is stable, he will even give our family some land..."
"Son! Surrender!!!"
Those who came up to persuade him to surrender did not let Li Min'an speak, which made Li Min'an confused. Then the soldier next to him whispered.
"These people were captured in the city. We knew they weren't from Dongyin, so after we captured them, we discovered they were actually the family members of this young general. They somehow arrived in Dongyin early and were captured by us."
Listen to what you're saying. Is this normal?
Just when Li Min'an was doubting his life, he saw a young general suddenly drop his weapon, get off his horse, and kneel in front of Shao Rongwei.
"General, my parents are old, I can't ignore their lives..."
Once there was one, there was a second one. Then all the young generals under Shao Rongwei surrendered. As a result, the soldiers who were already unsteady and wanted to flee to another camp when they knew that Daxia was going to perish also began to secretly lay down their weapons.
Shao Rongwei seemed to realize that his situation was 'over' and could only look at these people with resentment. Then he rode his horse to the foot of the city wall and looked up at the Emperor of Destiny on the wall.
"Li Min'an! Today you actually captured the families of my brothers and threatened me. Come down and fight! If you can defeat this general, I will lead 50,000 soldiers to surrender to you!!!"
Such a provocation must be accepted. This is the rule of war. Li Min'an has good fighting skills, so he naturally has to fight back. This time, Zhuge Tianzong did not try to persuade him, but instead personally put on armor for Li Min'an.
"My lord, I'm afraid you will have a divine general under your command this time."
Li Min'an also felt something was wrong at this time, but he still nodded, then opened the city gate, rode a white horse and held a spear, and rushed out of the city gate to fight.
Whether it was the people of Yong'an County or Shao Rongwei's 50,000 troops, they were all watching the outcome of this struggle.
Shao Rongwei was the one who had fought his way out of the army. It was no exaggeration to call him a god-like general. It was said that he could once fight his way in and out of the Huns seven times by himself. Now, he was riding a horse and attacking Li Min'an with a long sword in his hand.
Li Min'an looked solemn, and was fully prepared to fight. However, when the two approached, Li Min'an fired a shot, and the next moment Shao Rongwei, who was still on the warhorse, was directly "stabbed" and fell off the horse.
It happened in a flash, and Li Min'an heard the shouts of his soldiers behind him.
"General Li is mighty! He defeated General Shao Rongwei with one move!!!"
"Mighty Immortal Li!!!"
"Shao Rongwei lost!!! Lost!!!"
Accompanied by such thunderous cheers, Li Min'an saw the 50,000 soldiers on the opposite side kneeling down in surrender. The flag that once belonged to Daxia was lowered at this moment. Sitting on his warhorse, looking at Shao Rongwei lying on the ground "seriously injured", he finally understood the meaningful smile of Liu Wen.
The rebel king Li Min'an started an uprising in Dongyin. The Emperor of Daxia sent General Shao Rongwei to lead 50,000 elite troops to suppress the rebels, but they were defeated by the rebel king Li Min'an in one move and the generals surrendered to him.
Don't ask, the answer is that Li Min'an is too strong, Shao Rongwei can't beat him, so he has to surrender...
