Three days later, Li Bai led his army to a place 50 miles away from Ji County and set up camp.
During these three days, Li Bai had calmed down. Although he had the same smile on his face, it was no longer as warm as before. After experiencing this incident, Li Bai had truly grown up.
Three days ago, in the battle with the Wuwan people, they had wiped out 20,000 of the Wuwan cavalry. Later on, Gongsun Du led the Liaodong cavalry to kill another 5000 people, while Qiu Liju had only escaped back to the north with less than 4000 people.
The Liaodong Army had suffered heavy casualties in this battle, with a total of 15000 casualties, of which 13000 were infantry and 1000 cavalry.
After Li Bai cremated the bodies of all the fallen soldiers, he sent their ashes to Liaodong. After the battle was over, he would send them to the Martyrs Cemetery for burial. Of course, the Martyrs Cemetery was also Li Bai's idea to bury the Liaodong soldiers who had died.
Regarding this matter, Li Bai had already sent someone to Liaodong to inform Lu Su, asking him to take full responsibility for this matter. The generals and counselor Tian Feng all agreed with Li Bai's idea.
As for Youzhou Prefecture Overseer Liu Yu, he had already endured the attack of Zhang Ju's 100,000 men for more than a month and was on the verge of collapse. During this period of time, many bandits appeared in various parts of Youzhou, causing the prefectures to be unable to spare any extra troops to rescue Liu Yu in Ji County. There were more people, but there weren't any. There were fewer people. Zhang Ju had more than 100,000 people, so it made Liu Yu and the other county governors feel extremely awkward.
Li Bai still had around 25,000 soldiers, not including Zhao Yun's 20,000 soldiers. Among them, there were 8,000 cavalrymen and less than 15,000 infantry.
However, after the battle with the Ravenmaru Cavalry, every soldier was no longer a rookie. They had all grown up. Without any hesitation, these 25,000 people could easily defeat Zhang Ju's 100,000 mob.
" Boyong, you take the Tiger Guards and enter the city with me. The other generals stay in the camp and listen to Mr. Yuan Hao's orders," Li Bai looked at the generals in the tent and said slowly.
Tian Feng didn't say anything to stop Li Bai. It wasn't that he wasn't worried about Li Bai's safety, but that the rebel army was too weak. They had attacked Ji County with less than 20,000 people, but they still couldn't take it down in a month. Thinking of this, Tian Feng shook his head.
" Yes, my lord," the generals replied.
Li Bai nodded, glanced at Guan Hai, and then walked out.
" Quick, quick, kill them, kill them for this king!" Li Bai did not go from a place with fewer people, but went around the rebel army's camp. The rebel army's sentries discovered him and reported it to Zhang Ju. When Zhang Ju heard this, he was so arrogant with only 200 cavalry. He did not even put a " general " in his eyes. He immediately ordered all the cavalry in the army, about 2,000 cavalry, to chase after Li Bai and the Tiger Guards.
"Kill them for this king, and this king will reward you handsomely. Otherwise, I will take your life, understand?'，Before they set off, Zhang Ju said viciously to the cavalry leader.
" Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely cut off their heads and offer them to Your Majesty," the leader of the cavalry said to Zhang Ju in a fawning manner. Zhang Ju nodded his head in satisfaction. He thought to himself that this kid was on the right track. In the future, he would definitely promote this person well.
" Boyong, go kill the leader!" Li Bai turned around and saw the cunning and wretched look on the leader's face. He stopped and turned his horse around to Guan Hai. Yes, don't worry, my lord." After saying that, he rode his horse and charged towards the cavalry.
" That bastard over there, do you dare to fight your Grandpa Guan?" Guan Hai stopped his horse in the middle of the two armies and shouted at the cavalry leader.
" That scoundrel, don't be so arrogant. Watch how I take your head." After saying that, he rode his horse and charged at Guan Hai with his saber. Guan Hai held his saber and looked at the charging cavalry leader with disdain. He did not move.
The leader of the cavalrymen saw Guan Hai looking down on him, and the blood rushed to his face, causing his face to turn red. Guan Hai laughed out loud, and Li Bai, who was behind him, couldn't help but laugh."Die, you thief!" The leader was ashamed and furious. He rushed in front of Guan Hai and swung his saber at Guan Hai's head, looking serious.
Puchi. The leader looked at the saber that was only two feet away from Guan Hai's head, his eyes wide open. In an instant, his head was separated from his body. With a bang, the man fell off his horse, and his head rolled to the side. His eyes were still wide open, as if he still didn't believe that Guan Hai could kill him in one move.
Guan Hai looked at the head and curled his lips. Then, he turned to Li Bai and said,""My lord, I have not failed you."
Li Bai nodded and shouted to the slightly chaotic rebel cavalry,"" I'm the Great Han's Liaodong Prefecture Governor. Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju are traitors of the imperial court and will be exterminated sooner or later. If you don't surrender now, are you going to be buried with Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju?"
The deputy general looked left and right. Seeing that everyone had their heads lowered, he glanced at Guan Hai and the Tiger Guards behind Li Bai. Gritting his teeth, he said to Li Bai, If I surrender, can you guarantee that you won't burn the bridge after crossing it?"
Li Bai nodded and said to the deputy general expressionlessly,"" Don't worry, I, Li Bai, won't do such a despicable thing."
When the deputy general heard Li Bai's words, he thought to himself,'This Li Bai doesn't look like a villain who would burn the bridge after crossing it. If he really does this, hmph, I'll kill him even if I have to risk my life.' The deputy general jumped off his horse and looked at Li Bai, saying,"I am willing to surrender to you, sir, but I hope that you will agree to one thing." Li Bai looked at the man with interest and said,"I am willing to surrender."Speak."
"I hope that Milord can let go of these brothers behind me. If they are willing to go home, please let them go home. "Most of them were forcefully pulled into the army by Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju," the deputy general said sincerely to Li Bai.
Li Bai thought for a moment, then nodded and said to the man," Alright, I promise you."
" I, Han Dang, pay my respects to my lord," the deputy general said as he knelt and kowtowed to Li Bai.
So Han Dang turned around and said to the people behind him,""Brothers, those of you who want to go home can go home now. Those who want to stay can also go home."
" We're willing to follow the general," those people answered in unison. Seeing this, Li Bai nodded and thought to himself that this person was a talent.
When Li Bai heard that this person was Han Dang, he was stunned. Seeing that this person was only in his twenties, but his body seemed quite strong, he quickly asked,"Is it Han Dang, Han Yigong of the Right Beiping?”
Han Dang looked at Li Bai in surprise and nodded."" My lord knows about Han Dang."
Li Bai nodded." I've always heard that Han Dang and Han Yigong are righteous and loyal people. Now that I've seen them today, it's true."
" My lord, you flatter me," Han Dang said with a blush.
Li Bai waved his hand and said,"I'll order someone to bring you to my camp first. After you bring me back from Ji County, I'll talk to Yi Gong in detail."
"My lord is going to Ji County?" Han Dang asked.
"I am willing to go with you, my lord. I hope you will agree." Li Bai thought for a moment and nodded."Alright, then come with me."
" Thank you, my lord." Han Dang cupped his fists.
Li Bai nodded and said to Guan Hai,"Bo Yong, send someone to send these people to our camp. Also, tell Mister Yuan Hao that he can't neglect them. Treat them like our army." Guan Hai nodded.
"Right, Yi Gong, do you know a person called Cheng Pu?'Li Bai suddenly turned his head and asked.
Han Dang shook his head. Li Bai was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face. He said to everyone,""Let's go into the city."
P.S. I'll update a chapter tomorrow. I'll get my salary tomorrow, and I still have to bring my wife and children back to my hometown. It'll take a day. Sorry.
