Chapter 521
"The order has been surrendered!"
Ye Li is not someone who can stick to it.
Even though he knew that his retreat had been cut off and could not stop Wang Qi's army, Ye Li was too lazy to talk nonsense and chose to surrender directly. Anyway, Gu Kang had already escaped, and Gu Kang had caused Xiong Tai to be killed, so there would definitely be no chance.
As the order was conveyed, the soldiers of Lujiang County on the ship surrendered one after another. Everyone got off the warship, returned to the water camp to throw away their weapons, and knelt on the ground to surrender.
Wang Qi came with the army. After looking around, he did not notice Gu Kang and frowned.
Where is the person?
Have you escaped?
Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Who is the responsible person? Let's have someone who can speak."
Ye Li quickly stood up and said, "Report to King Qi, the villain is named Ye Li, who is a general in the army. Now all the soldiers obey my orders and arrangements."
Wang Qi asked, "Where is Gu Kangren?"
Ye Li replied: "When Gu Kang came to the ferry, the chief clerk of Qu said that the King of Qi might have a backup plan and suggested that the prefect break through the land, so on the way, Gu Kang handed me the flag of the commander and asked me to lead the troops to retreat to the water camp. Gu Kang and the chief clerk of Qu had already left with a team of soldiers."
Wang Qi said: "Who is the chief clerk of Qu?"
At this moment, Wang Qi was a little curious about the bookkeeper Qu. He set up a trap to capture Gu Kang alive, but Gu Kang escaped.
The chief clerk Qu has some ability.
Ye Li immediately said: "Reported to King Qi, the chief clerk of Qu is Qu Jin, who is Gu Kang's adviser and serves as chief clerk. Gu Kang's ability to have today is inseparable from the chief clerk's advice."
Gu Tong looked regretful and said, "It's such a pity. Your Highness, once Gu Kang escapes, he will be revived when Gu Kang returns to Lujiang, which is extremely unfavorable to us."
Ye Li shook his head and said, "Gu Kang has been away for a long time and cannot catch up with him. I am willing to surrender, please accept the King of Qi."
Wang Qi said: "Would you surrender?"
Ye Li said: "I do, I do. And I know a secret message."
Wang Qi said: "What secret news?"
Ye Li said: "It's Xiong Tai's identity."
Wang Qi said: "What is Xiong Tai's identity?"
Ye Li replied: "Xiong Tai is the third prince of Chu. He has outstanding strength and great influence. Gu Kang is even more of Xiong Tai's person. Well, he should be from Chu. Only the chief clerk of Qu and Gu Kang should know this news."
"The reason I know is that on the way to Jiujiang County, Gu Kang and Xiong Tai, I were the same boat. When they were chatting, I had patrolled not far away. And I had vaguely heard their comments with my ears."
Ye Li said: "Now that Xiong Tai is dead, Gu Kang will definitely be in trouble."
Wang Qi's eyes lit up.
He had previously suspected Xiong Tai's identity, but he did not expect Xiong Tai to be the third prince of Chu.
This is interesting.
If Xiong Tai was not killed, it would be quite difficult for Wang Qi to surrender Gu Kang. Now Gu Kang is defeated again because of Xiong Tai's killing. At this moment, Gu Kang is actually in a dilemma. Once Chu is furious, Gu Kang himself cannot guard the city and cannot stop Wang Qi. If he still surrenders to Chu, he will definitely be dealt with and his fate is extremely miserable.
"Au Zhi!"
Wang Qi ordered.
"exist!"
Gu Tong answered immediately.
Wang Qi said: "You lead all the soldiers to detain the soldiers under Ye Li and continue to sit in the ferry. In addition, all the warships will untie the ropes that tie the oars. Next, I will immediately pursue Gu Kang and cannot let him escape. You can solve the war at the ferry.
"yes!"
Gu Tong answered immediately.
Wang Qi said: "Ye Li, Gu Kang's specific position of division of troops, you come to lead the way, and I will lead people to chase after you. As long as you catch up with Gu Kang, I will remember your great achievements. Not only will you not deal with you, but you will also give you a reward."
Ye Li said: "Ensure that the task is completed."
Gu Kang is a grasshopper in autumn and can't jump for long. If Gu Kang had defeated Wang Qi before, Ye Li would have nothing to say. Now Gu Kang is not only defeated, but also the army has been taken down. At this time, Gu Kang not only threatened by Chu, but also could not resist Wang Qi, so Ye Li felt that there was no need to continue to be loyal to Gu Kang.
He has done what he should do.
Ye Li said solemnly: "Please rest assured that your highness will ensure that you can complete the task."
Wang Qi immediately drew soldiers and left with Xiahou Hu and a team of more than 200 elite soldiers.
These more than 200 people are real warriors.
And the two hundred people were cavalrymen.
These are almost all the cavalry under Wang Qi's command, because it is not convenient for cavalry to rush in the south of the Yangtze River. Especially the war horses of these cavalry were actually mainly provided by Lu Yuanda when they were in Jiujiang County.
Wang Qicai formed a cavalry of more than 200 people.
There is a lack of war horses in the south of the Yangtze River.
There are even fewer cavalry.
Wang Qi and Ye Li led his troops to travel. In a short time, he had already arrived at the place where Gu Kang and Ye Li divided the troops. Ye Li led his troops to quickly pursue him.
At the same time, another whistleblower left to inquire about the news.
Make sure you know the situation.
Don't be blinded by both eyes.
The team chased quickly, but the sky was already dark. Fortunately, it was August now, the moon was like a disk, and under the bright moonlight, although it was night, I could at least see the road clearly.
But even so, the torch was fired.
The army continued to pursue the road.
After coming out of the road of division, there was a straight road along the way. And if you had to go to Lujiang County, the road was even more unique, so it was relatively easy to catch up.
This chase, time has passed, and it is approaching the hour of the night. No whereabouts of Gu Kang are found ahead.
After all, in the afternoon, when Gu Kang's army retreated, Gu Kang evacuated first. Wang Qi took his men to the ferry and took Ye Li, and then began to pursue him with his men.
Ye Li also followed Wang Qi to the road, because he had not caught up with Lu Kang for a long time, and Ye Li became a little anxious. If he couldn't catch up, it would be like he hadn't done a good job.
This is an important thing for him to surrender to Wang Qi.
It must be done well.
Ye Li looked at Wang Qi not far away and shouted: "Your Highness, King Qi, I am sure that there is no mistake in our pursuit. Gu Kang must have retreated overnight, so he did not catch up for the time being."
Not only did he speak to Wang Qi, but he was also cheering himself up for fear that he would not be able to catch up.
Wang Qi said: "Don't worry, chase after me."
Ye Li slowed down a little when he heard Wang Qi's words.
After the hour of Hai, a sentry detective was in front of the pipeline and quickly came back to report: "Your Highness, about fifteen miles ahead of us, a team of people stopped to rest, which was Gu Kang's army."
Wang Qi was excited and ordered: "Come on, hurry on and hurry up at full speed. After catching up with Gu Kang, come and rest. Take Gu Kang down, and I will be rewarded with great rewards."
"yes!"
The soldiers and soldiers were ordered together.
Everyone was excited at this moment, fearing that they would not gain anything after spending half a night. Now they finally got the news, and all the cavalry were cheering up and ready to go to war.
Da! Da! Da! Da!!!
Chapter completed!
