Chapter 26 I am Liu Xuanji

After the government troops broke through the camp, Yang Xun did not flee immediately, but led hundreds of his cavalry to launch a counterattack against the Yan army.

Holding a long spear, he was extremely brave. Together with his brother Yang Shancai, they killed more than ten people.

However, personal bravery had no effect on the situation on the entire battlefield. The morale of the rebels was completely lost after their camp was breached by the Yan army.

Faced with the elite Yan army returning from the Liaodong battlefield, any resistance on their part would be futile.

Under the coercion, Yang Xun had no choice but to flee, and in the end he was completely defeated.

As the only cavalry unit among the rebels, they naturally received special attention from the Yan army. Yuchi Liang, the governor of Youzhou, led 3,000 cavalry to follow and pursue them.

The cavalrymen around Yang Xun were all brave men who had followed the Yang family since the time of their father Yang Su. The commander Yang Zuo was even given the surname Yang. When he saw the cavalrymen behind him chasing him relentlessly, he made a prompt decision and let the Yang brothers go first while he led hundreds of cavalrymen to cover the rear.

Although Yang Xun didn't want to leave, Yang Shancai simply whipped his horse's butt from behind and then pulled his horse's head away.

While Yuchi Liang dealt with the hundreds of cavalrymen who were left behind, he also sent out hundreds of cavalrymen to chase the Yang brothers.

The captain of one of the teams was named Liu.

Captain Liu was leading fifty cavalrymen under his command. Relying on his many years of experience in the cavalry, he actually chose the path taken by the Yang brothers from among many forks in the road.

Then he chased him all the way to the bank of the Yellow River.

I was also worried that the Yang brothers would jump into the river, which would be like the duck at my fingertips flying away.

But just in time, a friendly force came towards them and surrounded them.

The Yang brothers were surrounded by Li Yuanhui's troops. Knowing that they had no chance of survival, they dismounted from their horses and sat on the ground.

Li Yuanhui also rode up on his horse. The two friendly armies met unexpectedly. Just by looking at their armor, one could tell that their identities were not simple.

A captain also said, "It's Yang Xun."

Before the rebellion, Yang Xun was the Duke of Chu and the Minister of Rites. After the rebellion, he led the troops many times, so he was easy to identify.

Li Yuanhui's face was full of smiles, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry in his heart. What you fear is bound to come true.

Capturing Yang Xun alive would definitely be a great achievement, and even bringing his body back would be the same.

Now I really ran into it myself.

When Yang Shancai saw his brother acting like this, he also dismounted and stood beside his brother.

"Who is your commander? Come out and say a few words."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanhui rode his horse to the front, then dismounted and spoke: "I am Li Yuanhui of the Longxi Li family. I am currently serving as a military officer in the Yongzhou Military Governor's Office. I would like to meet Lord Yang Chu."

Li Yuanhui decided to give some respect to this brave man who dared to rebel.

"Li Yuanhui? Hahahaha, what a coincidence! I've heard of you. You're the one who shot and killed my third brother Yang Xi?"

Yang Xun said this very easily, but Yang Shancai on the side glared at him after hearing Li Yuanhui's name, because it turned out that the enemy who killed his brother was in front of him.

"It was just luck. At that time, I thought the general was Lord Chu in person."

Yang Xun smiled again after hearing this, then shook his head: "I never thought that my brothers and I would become your achievements."

"Fifth brother, make your move. I cannot let Murong Ying humiliate me."

Yang Shancai looked down and saw Yang Xun's pleading eyes. He then made up his mind, drew out his sword and slashed across Yang Xun's neck.

A great hero died here.

Then he slashed his throat with his sword, but Yang Shancai's sword seemed to have missed the target, so he did not die instantly. Instead, he lay on the ground twitching constantly. Seeing this, Li Yuanhui walked forward, drew his sword and killed him quickly.

The two men died, but disputes followed. The Youzhou Cavalry arrived late and were already on Li Yuanhui's side.

"Where are you from? We are the ones who chased you here. Why don't you hand them over to us now?"

"What are you chasing? If we hadn't stopped him, he would have already escaped and crossed the river. He is naturally ours."

"If it weren't for our Youzhou cavalry driving behind, where would you have gone to intercept them?"

"."

Several squad leaders and sergeants from both sides lost their patience and started quarreling.

Li Yuanhui waved his hand to stop the officers from speaking, and then said to the other side: "Who is in charge?"

In the crowd, Captain Liu rode forward, then dismounted, took a breath and said, "I am Liu Xuanji, the captain of the Youzhou Cavalry Team. Nice to meet you, sir. May I know your unit?"

Li Yuanhui had no choice but to give his full name again: "Li Yuanhui of the Longxi Li family, currently serving as a military officer and school lieutenant in the Yongzhou Military Governor's Office."

Born in Longxi Li clan? Wow, a famous and powerful family, it's not easy to take credit for this.

Captain Liu got off his horse and bowed, "Sir, we are ordered by Commander Yuchi to chase Yang Xun, but we have just seen your team. Even if our two teams work together to capture Yang Xun, what do you think, Sir?"

Li Yuanhui looked at Captain Liu, who was about eight feet tall, with a strong build, handsome looks, and spoke in an organized manner. He also knew how to use the governor to pressure others, and he was indeed a smart man.

"Okay, that's right. But we'll take the person away. Your name is Liu Xuanji, right?"

Zhang Shiwu, who was standing beside him, was about to say "Why?" when Liu Xuanji turned around and glared at him, then said, "That's right, I'm Liu Xuanji, from Zhuo County, Youzhou."

Li Yuanhui nodded, "Okay, I remember, I will report it truthfully, and you can also go with me to the general to receive the credit."

Liu Xuanji smiled and said, "Thank you, Captain Li."

Li Yuanhui nodded, then ordered his men to pack up the bodies of the Yang brothers, tie them to their horses, and then return.

The two cavalry teams were one in front and one behind, with Li's troops in front and Liu's troops in the back.

Zhang Shiwu said indignantly, "Liu Tou, this was originally our achievement, how come they took it away? We said we were going to ask for credit together, but what if we regret it when we get to the general?"

Liu Xuanji laughed and said, "What are you worried about? There are so many people here, how can you regret it? Besides, they are from the Longxi Li family, don't you know? You want to rob them? What's your background?"

Zhang Shiwu said: "What happened to the Longxi Li family? This achievement is clearly ours."

Liu Xuanji cursed directly: "You idiot, do you really think that if this person gets it, the credit belongs to us?"

"if not?"

"Even if we bring the people back and report to the general, our names won't be on it. That's all the merits of the captains and school lieutenants. It's good enough for us brothers to get some reward money. This Li Langjun is different. If he keeps his promise, he will report that I, Liu Xuanji, worked with him. If he wants to take all the credit in front of the general, then we will go back and report it truthfully. Naturally, someone from the higher-ups will go to sue, and the superiors will naturally let us come out to confront, so that our brothers will show their faces. If you fight with him now, you can win. Look at the Guanzhong army, there are more than a hundred cavalrymen."

By the time Li Yuanhui brought Yang Xun's body to the central army, the sun was already setting.

In the afterglow, after hearing that Li Yuanhui and others had brought back Yang Xun's body, Murong Ding went forward to check it out in person.

The accompanying generals all breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the corpse on the ground.

Only Murong Ding let out a sigh and said, "It's Yang Xun."

Then he turned and left, looking extremely lonely.

He is the uncle of the current emperor and enjoys a very high prestige, but he is not suspected. A big reason for this is that although he has many wives and concubines, he has no sons, only one daughter.

And Yang Xun is his son-in-law.
