Li Qi was about to kill Yong Kai when Fa Zheng admonished him: "My lord, wait a moment."

Li Qi saw that Fa Zheng had something to say, so he asked his soldiers to take Yong Kai away first and asked Fa Zhengdao: "What are Xiaozhi's plans?"

Fa Zhengdao said: "Yong Kai is already a lost dog, so there is nothing to worry about. Why not borrow Yong Kai's head so that Liu Chong can surrender?"

Li Qidao: "It would be best if Liu Chong could open the city and surrender. But..."

Li Qi didn't understand, how could he use Yong Kai's influence to make Liu Chong surrender?

Fa Zheng explained: "General Liao Hua captured Liu Chong's soldiers when he defeated Liu Chong at Tanlu Mountain. We first imprisoned Yong Kai and Liu Chong's soldiers, and then went to persuade Yong Kai and tell him

, if Liu Chong can be demoted with his head, how can he be spared the death penalty, Yong Kai will definitely agree and go. Here we don't care whether Yong Kai is true or false, just let Liu Chong's soldiers deliberately set a fire while burying a pot to make rice at night.

Escape. Liu Chong was not the mastermind in the first place. If he knew that Yong Kai wanted to kill him to avoid the death penalty, he would have killed Yong Kai first to surrender."

Li Qi smiled and said: "Xiao Zhi is really a good strategy. If things go well, we can capture Zangke County without spending a single soldier."

Therefore, Li Qi went to the prisoner of war camp to persuade Yong Kai according to the legal plan.

When Yong Kai saw Li Qi arriving and a black-faced man holding a big sword behind him, he was already panicking.

Li Qidao: "You have committed the crime of rebellion, and death is not a pity. If you want me to spare your life, you must offer Liu Chong's head to make up for the crime."

Yong Kai hurriedly said: "This matter is very easy. I have known Liu Chong for a long time, and I was going to defect to him. If Li Yizhou lets me go, Liu Chong will be killed and surrendered within two days."

Since Yong Kai said so, Li Qi should avoid the difficulty and pretend to believe him for once.

Before leaving, Li Qi also gave Yong Kai a horse.

Yong Kai got on his horse and ran out impatiently.

Zhou Cang said from behind: "This guy ran so fast, he will never come back."

Li Qidao: "We have to believe in the French military advisor. Yong Kai will definitely come back. But he may forget his body in Zangke and his head will come back on its own."

Zhou Cang: "!!!"

From Yong Kai's true intention, he certainly had no intention of coming back. He never even thought about persuading Liu Chong to surrender. He just wanted to take the road Zangke and escape to Jiaozhou.

Liu Chong originally wanted to use Yong Kai's power to deal with Li Qi, but when he saw Yong Kai coming alone, he felt bad.

Yong Kai said to Liu Chong: "Don't worry, Shixin. Just close the city gate and resist Li Qi for a few days. I will immediately go to Jiaozhou Shixie to fetch reinforcements."

Liu Chong was a little hesitant. Shi Xie had ruled Jiaozhou for decades and had never used troops externally. Moreover, the old man was almost seventy years old, could he still fight?

The so-called ability to fight here does not refer to Shi Xie's personal strength, but to Liu Chong's suspicion that he still has the desire to dominate the world?

Even if Shi Xie is willing to send troops, when will he arrive? Moreover, the army is far away, and it is hard to say whether he will be Li Qi's opponent.

A civil servant advised Liu Chong: "We don't know whether the troops from Jiaozhou can reach Zangke, but what is certain is that Li Qi's troops have been stationed on the other side of Wenshui. It would be better to kill Yong Kai and surrender Li Qi, and shift all the blame away.

To Yong Kai’s body.”

Liu Chong said: "But even if I kill Yong Kai and surrender, I don't know if Li Qi will absolve me of the crime of rebellion."

If Li Qi didn't forgive him and he killed Yong Kai, wouldn't he have cut off his own escape route?

While he was hesitating, someone suddenly came to report that the soldiers who had been captured in Tanlu Mountain some time ago had escaped and had something important to report.

Liu Chong hurriedly let the soldiers in and asked, "How did you escape after being imprisoned for half a month?"

The soldier, with a pot-helmet face on his face, said with tears in his eyes: "Tonight, the soldiers of Shu accidentally caught a fire while burying a pot to make rice. The soldiers guarding us were all busy putting out the fire. I will wait for an opportunity to escape."

Another soldier said: "Hundreds of us originally escaped from the camp where we were detained, but we were eventually discovered by the Shu soldiers and chased by them. Now only a dozen of us have escaped back to Zoke."

Another person said: "We sneaked into the grass forest and the Shu soldiers did not notice us. After the Shu soldiers left, we crossed Wenshui and managed to escape."

Liu Chong saw that they were all bloody, wet, and dirty, so he hurriedly prepared wine, food, and clothes to help them cope with their shock.

The soldiers burst into tears of gratitude and said to Liu Chong: "We are grateful to the prefect for his kindness, and we have to repay him for something."

Liu Chong asked: "What's the matter?"

The soldier said: "Yong Kai was captured..."

Liu Chong was shocked: "What? Yong Kai was caught? Then how did he escape?"

The soldier said: "He didn't escape at all. Yong Kai was imprisoned with us after he was captured. We heard with our own ears that Li Qi asked Yong Kai to take the head of the prefect in order to spare him the death penalty."

Liu Chong was shocked, and one of his subordinates admonished him: "Don't panic, prefect. What Li Qi did was just to capture Zoke County without any bloodshed. Yong Kai was the main culprit, and Li Qi could still spare him the death penalty. If the prefect had taken the initiative to kill Yong Kai,

If you sacrifice the city and then put the blame on Yong Kai, you can also be exempted."

If Liu Chong was still hesitant just now, now he is determined.

Liu Chong led his armored soldiers and broke into Yong Kai's residence holding swords and halberds.

Yong Kai was so frightened that he stood up. Seeing that Liu Chong's approach was unkind and he had no way out, he pretended to be calm and asked, "What does Shixin mean by this?"

Liu Chong asked: "Isn't Grand Administrator Yong going to Jiaozhou to move reinforcements? Why haven't you set off yet?"

Yong Kai said: "It's already getting late at this time. Didn't you, Shi Xin, ask me to stay overnight and prepare enough dry food before setting off tomorrow?"

Liu Chong said angrily: "I will give my head to Li Qi tomorrow!"

After saying that, he ordered the armored soldiers to rush forward and chop Yong Kai into pieces.

Early the next morning, Liu Chong held Yong Kai's head in his hands and opened the city gate to welcome Li Qi.

Li Qi, Zhou Cang, Gan Ning, Fazheng and others took the middle route, Zhang Ren took the right route, and Lei Tong took the left route to cross the river in parallel.

When they arrived at Zangke City, Liu Chong had already lined up to greet him, but Liu Chong himself knelt at the city gate, holding Yong Kai's head in his hands to plead guilty to Li Qi.

Liu Chong said: "When Yong Kai launched a rebellion and sent people to tell him, I wanted to refuse. But Yong Kai said that if I didn't join him in the rebellion, I would attack Zangke County with the Jiaozhou soldiers from the east and west to eliminate them.

Their future troubles. Zangke had a small army and few generals, and Chong was confused for a while before he believed Yong Kai's lies. Talking about the battle of Lushan, Chong deeply felt that Li Yizhou's literary and military tactics were the heroes of the world, and he had long since repented. Now Yong Kai is at his end.

When I came to surrender, I also said that I was going to Jiaozhou to fetch reinforcements, and I wanted to kill him. I came here to plead guilty to Li Yizhou and hope that Li Yizhou would be given a lighter sentence."

Li Qi smiled, your child is quite skillful at throwing the pot.

Even if Yizhou County and Jiaozhou raised troops at the same time, wouldn't you ask Chengdu for help?

However, Li Qi still said: "Rebellion is a capital crime, but because you have done a good job in killing Yong Kai and saving the army and people of Zhike from a disaster, I will spare your life. Now I will give you a task. I hope you can

Being able to make meritorious deeds."
