Just when Zhang Yongde surrendered in Daming Mansion and went north, Zhao Kuangyin's army also advanced to Luoyang. Cao Bin, who was guarding Luoyang, refused to surrender and reduced his troops by 200,000 to defend Luoyang. Zhao Kuangyin's envoy to Xiangzhou also ran into trouble, and Pan Mei also refused to surrender to the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin did not order an attack on Luoyang City, but instead besieged Luoyang City. According to the latest intelligence reports in the pass, Zhao Kuangyin is actually worried about the rear base camp. He is also waiting for the situation at Zhang Yongde. After Lu Qi reorganized his army, he sent 600,000 troops to the south. He did not attack Yingtian Mansion in Songzhou directly. Dajiang, advancing slightly to the southwest, finally attacked Xuzhou, which is adjacent to Songzhou. After advancing along the coast and occupying Sizhou, they continued to enter the Huainan area, and their troops went straight to Yangzhou. Lu Qi personally led 400,000 troops to occupy Xuzhou and garrisoned, waiting for the Jin army to cross the river to join the battle. Now that he had achieved great success, there was no need to cover up, and he could gather superior military power to destroy Zhao Kuangyin's Song Dynasty. The march of the Seventh Army of the Chinese Army to the south frightened the two brothers Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Kuangmei. Zhao Kuangmei sent an urgent message asking Zhao Kuangyi to abandon the defense of the river and shrink his army to join forces in Songzhou. After Zhao Kuangyi received the letter in Chuzhou, he decisively gave up the defense of the river and planned to shrink his army. He returned to Yingtian Mansion in Songzhou. But Lu Qi would not let Zhao Kuangyi return to Songzhou. He had already divided his army with 200,000 troops. He rushed from Xuzhou to Haozhou and went straight to Qingliu Pass, blocking Zhao Kuangyi's way back to the army. Just when Zhao Kuangyi was shrinking the defense force of the river, Lu Qi's army along the coast advanced to Yangzhou, and Lu Qi's military order was also able to be sent across the river. After receiving the order, the Jin army in the south of the Yangtze River immediately began to cross the river. Chizhou and Jingkou were Where the army crossed the river, two armies with a total of 600,000 troops arrived in the north of the river. 300,000 Baling troops crossed the river from Jingkou to Yangzhou, and immediately followed Lu Tianfeng's army in the north of the Yangtze River to attack Zhao Kuangyi's army. Zhao Kuangyi shrank and assembled 180,000 troops, hurriedly marched to Qingliu Pass, and ordered them to leave the pass and forcibly break through the enemy who had blocked Qingliu Pass. military. Qingliu Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not easy to pass, but it is not easy to break through the outer blockade from Qingliu Pass. We charged dozens of times and nearly ten thousand people died but still could not break through the blockade on the other side. My subordinates advised not to break through because the enemy on the other side was The number of troops must be hundreds of thousands. Even if they fight on the ground, they will not be weak. It is recommended to take a detour to return to the division. Zhao Kuangyi was angry and helpless and ordered a detour. However, during this detour, they were overtaken by the enemy troops from Yangzhou. A big battle broke out in Chuzhou. During the fierce battle between the two sides, the Baling Army who had crossed the river also arrived, but it was Zhao Kuang who attacked overwhelmingly. The rebels, Zhao Kuangyi, were shocked and confused, and could only flee in panic. However, they escaped with their lives under the desperate protection of Wang Yansheng and his cronies. He led less than 20,000 troops and fled to the northwest, but he went to join Zhao Kuangyin's army. , I dare not go to Songzhou anymore. After Lu Qi received the reward, he immediately sent his troops westward to Songzhou and besieged Yingtianfu City in Songzhou. However, Yingtianfu City was defended by 200,000 troops. Lu Qi was not in a hurry to attack the city and waited for his army to gather. , and finally had a decisive battle with Zhao Kuangyin's army who returned to the army. Zhao Kuangyin learned about the military situation, and his heart trembled. Zhang Yongde actually surrendered to Lu Tianfeng without fighting. Lu Tianfeng led an army of 600,000 troops to attack south. The military information brought by Zhao Kuangyi's escape shocked Zhao Kuangyin even more. Why didn't the Jin army cross the river and attack Lu Tianfeng's army? Could it be that Lu Tianfeng had reconciled with the Lord of Jin? Or is it a temporary cooperation? No matter what it was, Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to return. The 600,000-strong army set out to return. When they arrived at the edge of Songzhou, they were blocked by Lu Tianfeng's army. There were 600,000-700,000 troops. The two sides lined up for a long time. Liduo's formation was like a duel between more than a million troops. Zhao Kuangyin's army galloped out and approached the center line of the two armies. He reined up his horse and shouted: "King Yu, Lu Tianfeng, I, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, have heard for a long time that you are a good general and would like to have a showdown with you. Do you dare?" Fight." Lu Qi frowned in the army. He turned around and gave orders. A guard general rode his horse out to the center line and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Yu said that he has an army of millions here, and there are also troops in Luoyang and Guan Nei. The 600,000-strong army has arrived, and it is already a sure win. There is no need to fight with Zhao Kuangyin anymore. I advise Zhao Kuangyin to surrender, and His Highness King Yu will not kill." "This challenge has the meaning of a battle of wits, Zhao Kuangyin's challenge. It was out of a disadvantage to make a comeback and boost the morale of the army, but Lu Qi's refusal was to counter Zhao Kuangyin's conspiracy, using the absolute advantage of military power to undermine the morale of Zhao Kuangyin's army. The general who sent the challenge went back, but soon another rider came out, reined in his horse at the center line, and shouted: "Lu Tianfeng, you said in Yuanzhou that you would compete with X in the future. In today's battle, X may not have the chance to wait for you." To fulfill my promise, can I fight with a certain person first?" When Lu Qiyi saw it was Wang Yansheng, his eyes turned cold and he rode out. The generals around him tried to dissuade him but were unable to do so.King Yu rushed to the enemy general with a big iron gun. "Well done." Wang Yansheng shouted loudly, and his horse also rushed forward. In his hand was a simple sword. The heads of the two horses were facing each other. The simple sword slashed at Lu Qi fiercely, but Lu Qi's big iron spear was violently facing the sword. The stabbing blade swallows the mouth. There was a clang of gold and iron, and Wang Yansheng's simple sword was stabbed and rebounded. Wang Yansheng abandoned the sword with a shocked expression, and quickly grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand, drew the sword and slashed the back of Lu Qi's neck. , that sword quickly turned into a terrifying rainbow of cold light. But Wang Yansheng groaned. Lu Qi's big iron spear had already pierced his throat first. Lu Qi also leaned down to avoid the sword slash. The big spear swung sideways with the horse's running momentum, and Wang Yansheng was After being defeated, the life and death battle between the two people was basically a face-to-face encounter. As soon as Wang Yansheng died, Zhao Kuangyin's army suddenly sounded the deep horn, and then the war drums roared. Zhao Kuangyin's army began to attack. A large number of horse troops rushed out of the array and ran towards Lu Qi, and there was a rain of arrows in the air. Before hearing the commander's order, the soldiers of Lu Qi's army took the initiative to attack angrily. The army rushed forward like a raging sea tide. Lu Qi immediately stood on the spot, using his big gun to shoot away the flying arrows, and stared coldly at Zhao Kuangyin's cavalry. . Suddenly, dense crossbow arrows flew from behind him, ruthlessly penetrating into Zhao Kuangyin's cavalry. Zhao Kuangyin's cavalry immediately fell on their backs. Thousands of people were killed and injured under the first wave of crossbows. Zhao Kuangyin's army was frightened, and both the infantry and cavalry troops subconsciously slowed down. Then Lu Qi's army rushed past the place where Lu Qi stood up to engage Zhao Kuangyin's army. The shouts of killing were loud, and the two sides collided and fought fiercely, but within a moment, suddenly a large number of Zhao Kuangyin's rear troops turned around, and then Zhao Kuangyin's army collapsed, and most of the nearly 600,000 troops fled without fighting. At the center of Zhao Kuangyin's army, Zhao Kuangyi yelled orders with red eyes. The soldiers around him were all frightened and at a loss. However, Zhao Kuangyin, who was dressed in golden armor and wore a bright yellow cloak on his shoulders, looked ahead calmly. "Second brother, let's go quickly." Zhao Kuangyi turned around and said in horror. "You go." Zhao Kuangyin said calmly. Zhao Kuangyi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, turned around on his horse, and fled backwards. However, hundreds of guards stood with Zhao Kuangyin. They gritted their teeth and stared in front of them, as if they didn't see others fleeing. Within a moment, they were rushed over. Soldiers will be surrounded layer by layer. Lu Qi rode his horse to Zhao Kuangyin. Surrounded by soldiers, he looked at Zhao Kuangyin ten meters away. Zhao Kuangyin looked at Lu Qi and said loudly: "I have lost. I just want to see you and talk to you." "Since the prince has admitted defeat, There will be many opportunities to talk to me in the future," Lu Qi responded loudly. Zhao Kuangyin was startled and said: "You call me the king of the county, do you mean to release people?" Lu Qidao: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, may not want to hear the news of your death." Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a moment, dismounted his horse and walked forward, explaining as he walked. After wearing the Minghuang cloak, he took off his helmet, walked to Lu Qi's horse, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Zhao Kuangyin is willing to surrender to His Highness King Yu." Lu Qi dismounted and helped Zhao Kuangyin up before walking away. Their eyes met, Lu Qiyi He smiled and said: "When I drink and talk with the prince in the future, I will suffer for a few days." "I thank your highness for not killing him." Zhao Kuangyin responded respectfully. Lu Qi nodded, turned around and held his hands, Zhao Kuangyin nodded and walked away, escorted by Lu Tianfeng's soldiers. Lu Qi ordered Zhao Kuangyin's guards to rush to deliver the order to end the war and stop the escape, and to convey the pardon of all innocent people. Zhao Kuangyin's rebel army If they fled into the mountains and fell into the grass, they would become a great local disaster.
