Chapter 127: A Single Defeat Leads to Chaos Everywhere

  "Charge! The one wearing a bright yellow shirt ahead is Liang Wang! General's order: whoever beheads Liang Wang will be promoted three ranks and rewarded with 10,000 gold!"

  This sentence shocked Liang Wang greatly, and he hastily used a dagger to slash the royal robes on his body so that the Ming army could not identify them.

  "That man with long hair in front is Liang Wang! Brothers, charge! The merit is right before our eyes! Don't let him escape!"

  Right after that, another shout made our Liang Wang tremble again. Looking at his long hair fluttering in the wind, which he had carefully taken care of every day, he gritted his teeth and ruthlessly swung his dagger to cut off his hair once more.

  Li Wang looked at the short hair in his palm and wanted to cry but had no tears, however, the current situation was still about escaping with his life, and even the most precious hair couldn't compare to the importance of his own life.

  Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, the third shout from behind came right on schedule, without any delay.

  "Brothers, that man who just threw away his hair is Liang Wang! Make sure to recognize him! Catching him will bring us wealth and glory!"

  Li Wang's whole body was trembling with anger on horseback, who the hell is so sharp-eyed that he can see his own appearance at the first time in the chaos of war, what kind of hatred and grievance is this, do you want to be so cruel.

  "Your Highness! I think we should get off the horse and escape, you're too conspicuous on horseback, the Ming army behind us has clearly identified you, if we keep going like this, we'll definitely be caught and can't escape..."

  Li Wang was still fuming, and glared fiercely at Ha Duo. "You should have said something earlier, now look at yourself, your clothes are all tattered, and you even had to cut off your carefully groomed long hair. Who can you reason with now?"

  He didn't care about any of that, and if they didn't pull Liang Wang off his horse right now, none of them would be able to escape. He immediately reached out and pulled Liang Wang down, ordering two of his men to carry him as he began a desperate sprint.

  Alas, the elegant and refined Prince Liang, who normally wore fine clothes and had a majestic demeanor, now looked like a tattered beggar. His two arms were held high by someone, his feet left the ground as he was dragged away in an escape, and yet there was still a hint of the prince's air about him.

  This really made the Ming army behind blind, and the people in front of them were all escaping Yuan soldiers and pursuing their own brothers. It was not easy to find Liang Wang who was not on horseback, and even the soldier who had been staring at Liang Wang just now couldn't be found. In the midst of the chaotic troops, it would be a great luck if he could be found.

  "Your Highness! No one is shouting behind us, let's hurry and escape! Regroup at the back!" Ha Do turned his head to take a glance and reported hastily after finding no one else staring at them.

  "Alright! Hurry up and escort me out of here!" Liang Wang hastily urged, eager to start running. He didn't want to stay by the White Stone River for another moment.

  "Where shall we escape to, Your Highness? Shall we enter Qujing County or head straight for Kunming?"

  "Back to Kunming, I want to return to my royal palace! This is the territory of the Ming people, Qujing will definitely not be able to keep it. Those Tujia people are unreliable, what about the Duan and Meng families? The 50,000 troops that were supposed to go to the rear to resist the enemy have vanished, these treacherous wolves must have already defected to the Ming people, just waiting for me, the king, to take the reward!"

  Li Wang waved his hand and decided on the destination of their escape. The current situation was chaotic, Qujing was adjacent to Baishi River, and it was estimated that by the time they arrived there, the Ming army would be at the city gate. How could a small county like this stop the Ming army's footsteps? It was better to return to his old nest in Kunming, where he could recruit soldiers and defend the city to the death. With the stored grain and geographical advantages, he could hold out for one or two years without any problem.

  He hastily summoned his attendants to escape the place, and didn't even want his royal robes anymore. He thoroughly tore them off and changed into a small soldier's clothes, just in case he was recognized again and mobbed...

  "What a great victory! Our army has won a great victory in this battle! The more than 1 million troops of Liang Wang were defeated and scattered, fleeing in all directions. We have already captured over 200,000 people, and the number of those killed is countless. At present, we are still pursuing the remaining forces and have not yet completed the count, but it is estimated that the victory will be great. Under such a great victory, Liang Wang must have been greatly injured!"

  You Jun commanded Cao Xing to return and report to Fu Youde, with a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed. This victory was much easier than the Northern Expedition, far beyond their expectations. They were able to take down half of Liang Wang's forces so easily, how could they not be overjoyed?

  Moreover, taking down the White Stone River and Qujing City is just within sight, and it's within reach. As long as they take down Qujing City, all of Yunnan will be exposed to their eyes. From then on, there won't be any more obstacles that can stop their great army. The only regret is not being able to cut off the head of King Liang, which is truly a pity.

  "Old Cao, go and order the soldiers to stop pursuing, don't forget that there are still 100,000 enemy troops waiting for us to eliminate in Wushe." Fu Yongde said with a smile.

  "I will obey orders!"

  "General! Look what I've found! See? This is the royal robe of King Liang, and this dagger was found with it. From the jade ornament on top, it's clearly a personal item of King Liang."

  Wang Bi swaggered in, holding a tattered garment and a dagger, which he handed over to Fu Youde.

  Fu Youde hastily took over, and from the top, he could still vaguely see the shape of the dragon head. This dagger was also exceptionally exquisite and sharp, one knife cut through his office desk.

  "What a pity! They are just two lifeless objects. It would be better if it were the King of Liang himself." Fu Yongduo tossed his mouth and threw the two things to one side, saying lightly.

  "Got him! General, we've got him!"

  The sudden voice outside the account caught Fu Youde's attention, and he wondered if it was possible to catch Liang Wang. Then wouldn't his title of Duke be secured? Overjoyed, he rushed out of the camp, and curious Wang Bi followed him out. Logically speaking, he had been chasing Liang Wang all along, and he had only discovered these two things, so how did others get to take credit for this great achievement?

  "General! We've caught North Yuan's Sutu Pingzhang, this man is called Dalima, he's the most trusted general under Liang Wang's command!" A Tujia Hanzi led a disheveled Dalima over, originally he was the army's guide, but since he wasn't needed in battle, he was resting at the back, who would have thought that even while taking a piss, he could catch such a big fish.

  He had seen Daliya before, back when he was hanging out in Kunming every day, and could see him swaggering around the city. At that time, he still admired Daliya, but never thought that one day such a big shot would become his captive.

  Fu Youde was somewhat disappointed, but he smiled and gave the native a generous reward. Whether it was Liang Wang or another high-ranking official, this northern Yuan minister's contribution was not small. He wondered where his beloved Liang Wang had gone, and why did he need to hide like that just to use your head...
