"Where did this rat dare to hurt my beloved disciple?"
The corners of Li Han's mouth raised slightly, the edge of his sword pointed at Old Man Yan, and said: "Are you his master, Old Man Yan? I heard that you are Loyal servant of the Mountain Master of Sanshen Mountain, if I kill you, will the Mountain Master feel some pain? ”
“That’s so loud, kid, who are you?” Come on."
"What? Isn't it true that this king is your biggest obstacle? Don't you even know your opponent?"
Mr. Yan. You are not stupid, you thought of it when you heard what Li Han said, and said angrily: "So you are the King of Jin Li Han, whose name I have admired for a long time."
Li Han mocked: "You have been doing things behind my back several times. Don’t you think this king knows anything? Is this all caused by you, Imperial Master and Imperial Concubine?”
Mr. Yan sneered: “Yes, it’s your father’s stupidity. , you should destroy the country together."
"Huh, just you? I will kill you today and give you a big gift."
p>"Okay, okay, such a yellow-tongued kid, how dare you fight with me?"
"That's a lot of nonsense."
Li Han stabbed him with a sword Go, there is no weapon in Yan Lao's hand. After dodging the sword, he struck Li Han with a palm. Li Han did not dodge and hit him with a palm. Yan Lao took three steps back, with shock and anger in his eyes. Said: "Your skill is so profound."
Although Mr. Yan is just a servant of the mountain master, he has practiced for more than fifty years. Not to mention conquering the world, at least he should not be defeated. In the hands of this rising star.
Reluctantly, Mr. Yan attacked Li Jun again. However, with three consecutive strikes, except for his own serious internal injuries, Li Jun actually seemed unscathed. How could this not make people despair? ?
After the last pair of palms with Li Jun, Mr. Yan ignored his injuries, picked up Jiang Wanheng who was on the ground and did not know whether he was alive or dead, and quickly fled away into the distance. Naturally, Li Jun was not willing to let them go like this. He held his sword and prepared to chase. However, the remaining Jiang Wanheng guards suddenly blocked Li Jun without fear of death. After such a delay, by the time Li Jun wanted to catch up, they had already disappeared. .
Although Jiang Wanheng and Yan Lao were not able to stay, there was no doubt that they won this battle. The defeated Chu army no longer stayed on the land of Jinyun, but retreated to the border between the two countries and retreated into the Chu state. After Xiong Yao got the news, he also sent people to respond at the border. Although Jiang Wanheng had different political views from him, the soldiers at the bottom were innocent and they were just following orders.
Li Jun did not rush to chase down the defeated Chu army, but pursued and caught up, which could consolidate the results of the victory without making the Chu army lose sight of hope and have the idea of a last-ditch battle, ensuring that they would not Capsize.
Winning this battle was a complete accident. Defeating the enemy in three days was simply unimaginable.

A few days later, Li Jun led the Southern Conquest Army into Nanjun again. In the huge county, there was not a single living person in the streets.
"Where is the Ten Thousand Bones Pit?"
Hearing Li Han ask this, Zhang Lan and others trembled in their hearts, their lips went dry, and they could not speak for a long time. Finally, It was Zhang Lan who said: "At the West Gate."
"Go and have a look."
The huge county city was like a dead city, with only the sound of their footsteps as they walked, and the silence. The silence and emptiness make people feel desolate.
After the Chu army massacred the people of Nanjun, the conquering army who ordered them to surrender dug dozens of deep and large pits at the west gate, allowing the conquering army to bury the bodies of the people with their own hands. At that time, there were unacceptable soldiers of the Zhengnan Army. The leader was the Lu general who was at the same level as Zhang Lan. They led eight thousand soldiers to resist the Chu army. However, they failed and were buried by their fellow Zhengnan Army. West gate. Looking back at their homeland again, everyone was in a low mood. This was their place of humiliation. The excitement of defeating the Chu army disappeared instantly, leaving only regrets for the past.
At the West Gate, you can still see the traces of pits dug at that time. The bones of tens of thousands of Nanjun people and soldiers who died in the battle were buried here. Before He Ze left, the Southern Conquest Army still had 300,000 officially serving soldiers. Now, except for the Southern Conquest Army led by Li Jun, the total number of the Southern Conquest Army that was defeated from the three counties was less than 30,000. Excluding the losses in the battle with Jiang Wanheng. At this time, there were only 120,000 soldiers in the Southern Expedition Army, which was only 20,000 more than the Western Expedition Army at the end of the Four Expeditions.
This is why Li Han was not so anxious to catch up. They injured 10,000 enemy and lost 8,000 themselves. Their numbers were far inferior to the Chu army. If Jiang Wanheng hadn't been caught off guard, this battle would have been a hard battle. The victory or defeat is still close to 50 to 50, and their defeats are even higher.
Facing the graves one after another, Li Jun sighed deeply, and then knelt down for the first time.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Jun waved his hand to stop others from trying to help him up. Upon seeing this, Zhang Lan and others also knelt down.
Li Jun led the soldiers of the Southern Conquest Army to kowtow three times to the dead people and soldiers to express his apology. Li Jun is the son of the emperor and a noble grandson of the emperor. How can there be any reason to kneel down to ordinary people and ordinary soldiers? If this was reported back to Kyoto, Emperor Yan Ping would definitely reprimand him for losing the royal dignity, but Li Han couldn't care less. Li Jun left Beijing at the age of fifteen to join the then Eastern Conquest Army. It has been a full fifteen years now. He has encountered thousands of battles, large and small, and has also witnessed familiar faces of his comrades fall to the ground. Although he was the prince in front of him, Li Han also realized that one day he might just fall down like his colleagues and never stand up again. In that case, Emperor Yan Ping and the Queen would be more satisfied with him. .
To be honest, among all the wars Li Han has experienced, the one that shocked him the most was this battle of Sanjiang City. ChuThe cruelty of the army was unexpected. Faced with the dead people, Li Jun felt that he had a responsibility.
In order to protect himself, he always acted as a backdrop in the court, thinking that Emperor Yan Ping would feel at ease with him. However, faced with such consequences, he began to regret his ostrich tactics. Maybe if he had been more insistent or more ruthless, Emperor Yan Ping would not have transferred He Ze, nor would he have let Song Xuyang take over the Southern Army, and such a tragedy would not have happened.
Although the sudden advance of the Chu army was the main reason, the inability of the Southern army was the most important factor that led to all the tragedies. Among them, his father Yan Ping Emperor had to bear the responsibility. main responsibility. It was precisely because Emperor Yan Ping deployed his generals indiscriminately and failed to provide timely assistance after the Chu army attacked that all this happened. As the son of Emperor Yan Ping, Li Jun was responsible for the deaths of these people.
