Chapter 589: Drinking Horses in the Yangtze River

Yang Shilin fought bravely and looked at all directions. He led two thousand people to gallop through the enemy camp, like driving away a herd of wild boars, blowing up the whole camp.

A few hours later, follow-up troops arrived one after another, joining the battlefield one after another, chasing and intercepting them from all directions.

Facing the increasing number of enemy troops, Zhu Jie completely lost confidence. He had no time to figure out how many troops the opponent had, and he couldn't even figure out who was attacking him from the beginning to the end.

At first he guessed it was Qin Hu's army, but where did Qin Hu come from? This seemed a little too fast, and they were thousands of miles away.

But he really couldn't think of anyone else who would attack him. He just thought that this was a force of at least 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers, so he didn't dare to fight and just mounted his horse and fled.

Zhu Jie and Zhu Ling fled, and the army lost its command. Some surrendered quickly, some fled, and some were killed. The battle ended after dark.

When counting the prisoners, Yang Shilin did not find the Zhu Jie brothers and was furious. The battle had reached this point and they would never be allowed to escape.

"Chase." With an order, several people chased him in all directions.

It was not until dawn the next day that his subordinates reported that they had captured Brother Zhu Jie.

Yang Shilin went over to check in person. When he saw brother Zhu Jie being tied up and thrown to the ground, he felt relieved. He poked Zhu Jie's fat face with a riding crop and said with a smile: "Well, you King Garuda, you didn't expect that."

, you also have today. You have the courage to kill King Yan’s envoy, well done to you, really well done.”

"Come here, take him to the Chinese army's tent."

When Zhu Jie was pushed to the central military tent, he took the gag away and immediately shouted: "Yang Shilin, it's you. We have no grievances. Why did you come to attack me?"

Yang Shilin burst into laughter with high spirits: "Zhu Jie, not to mention that you are full of evil and treat the people as military food, worse than animals. Just because you have offended King Yan, you will die unjustly, and God will not be able to save you. I, Yang Shilin, was ordered to capture you by King Yan.

You, don’t care about your personal grudges.”

"Yes, Qin Hu?" Zhu Jie scratched his eyes twice and suddenly said: "General Yang, I want to ask you a favor. Can you explain to King Yan for me that I did kill Duan?"

Damn it, I really wanted to surrender to him, but I never thought things would turn out like this."

"You want to explain to King Yan, but I can't do it for you. Go and tell him yourself. Mr. Pei is currently in Huai'an County. I will send you to see him."

"Pei Ju." Up to this moment, Zhu Jie still didn't think that he would definitely die. He felt that after meeting Pei Ju, there might be a turn for the better. After all, he was also considered a warrior.

Yang Shilin lazily talked nonsense with him, directly announced the squad, put him in a prison car and returned to Huai'an. After a day and night, the army returned to the station.

Pei Ju and Tian Zan were waiting for the news. When they heard that Yang Shilin had captured Zhu Jie alive, they all stood up happily. Pei Ju was glad that he had kept his reputation, and Tian Zan also knew that his future career would be smooth.

Yang Shilin asked to see Pei Ju. Pei Ju was very polite to him and immediately conveyed Qin Hu's king's order to him: "General, don't worry, you have made great achievements, and there will be a heavy reward from King Yan."

Yang Shilin did not simply eliminate Zhu Jie. He was very powerful and controlled four counties east of the Han River. The land directly bordered Badong County and stretched to the border of Xiaoxian. Since then, Qin Hu's

The power was suddenly exaggerated to reach the two lake basins.

After Qin Hu got the news, he did not expect that it would go so smoothly. In addition to the previous canonization, he also conferred Yang Shilin as the general manager of Jingzhou, doctor Jin Ziguanglu, and rewarded him with 200,000 taels of silver. He also ordered Zhu Jie to be sent to Luoyang.

He wanted to kill this monster in public.

After Zhu Jie saw Pei Ju, he thought that Pei Ju would spare him because he was a prince after all.

Pei Ju didn't bother to talk to him at all. He just stared at him for a long time and then ordered: "Put it down."

Zhu Jie was very puzzled and said: "Master Pei, although I killed your men, I am a prince after all. For a person like me, even the King of Yan has to treat me with courtesy. How can you treat me like this?"

Leng Leng, when will you let me go? I, I just surrender."

Pei Ju sneered: "You are worthy of being called a prince. Let me tell you, I have no right to interrogate you. King Yan has ordered that you be sent to Luoyang to deal with it personally. However, he also specifically ordered you to sit all the way.

In the prison car, there is no treatment. Take him off."

At this point, Zhu Jie still did not give up. He remembered that Qin Hu specially ordered someone to surrender him, which meant that he still valued him.

"You have killed the princes without permission. Who will dare to surrender in the future? Mr. Pei, believe it or not, when we get to Luoyang, King Yan will definitely let me go, so you'd better be nice to me now. We will work together in the same court in the future."

Where is the officer?"

"Haha, then you don't know King Yan very well. Pull it off." No matter how good Zhu Jie felt, Pei Ju knew how jealous King Yan was, so he would not show kindness to Zhu Jie.

After Zhu Jie went down, Pei Ju said to Yang Shilin Tian Zan: "We are close to the territory of Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, but this generation still has room for action. I heard that there is a man named Xu Shao who used to be in Yiling County.

The county magistrate is originally from Anlu and is currently very powerful?"

Tian Zan said: "Yes, Xu Shao is an old minister of the Yu Dynasty. This man controls the land of four counties, Yiling County, Qian'an County, Wuling County, and Changsha County. If he is willing to surrender, then the Yan Kingdom

The land can be connected to Bashu to the west, to the Yangtze River to the south, and to our current land to the north."

In fact, three counties in the territory controlled by Xu Shao overlap with the area controlled by Liu Bei in Jingzhou, so as long as he gets him, he can extend his power to the Yangtze River.

This area includes parts of Hubei and Hunan, and will share the Taihu Basin with Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, Du Fuwei and others. From now on, Qin Hu will drink from the Yangtze River.

Pei Ju once again felt that this was an opportunity to make a great contribution. Yang Shilin's surrender made him realize how much the old members of the Yu Dynasty longed to return to the embrace of the motherland.

In particular, Tian Zan told him: "As far as I know, this Xu Shao once studied in Chang'an and knows many of the dignitaries in Chang'an City."

"First of all, he knows Tang Guogong Li Yuan, but I don't know if he knows King Yan."

Pei Ju frowned: "Why, does he know Li Yuan?"

"Both are imperial students," Tian Zan said.

Pei Ju paced with his hands behind his back: "This is a bit tricky. If he surrenders to the Li clan, then I will be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth."
