Chapter 71

Wei Jie’s guess was not wrong. The rebels were indeed heading towards the Jianhe River. Hearing that they had set up camp and rested on the spot, they hurriedly began to cross the river. Wei Jie had already ordered people to explore the surrounding terrain, and ordered three thousand light cavalry to take a long detour to ambush them. Then he led a team of men and horses to pursue him from behind.

After crossing the Jianhe River, the terrain became more dangerous. The mountain road was narrow and they could only move forward in formation. The rebels were exhausted from wading across the river without caring about their head and tail. They were suddenly ambushed by Qi soldiers. They didn't know how many troops they had. The morale of the army was in great confusion and they became panic-stricken. At this time, there were still more than 10,000 rebels who had not yet crossed the river. Wei Jie and Xia Houxin surrounded them and ordered their men to shout loudly about the surrender of their commander. The rebels in the rear lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.

By nightfall, Zhao Tong's two generals had been killed by Wei Jie. Human heads were hung on spears to show military power.

The snow had stopped at night, and Xue Li didn't see Wei Jie for a long time, and he gradually began to feel irritable. He couldn't help but ask Jin Zhen: "I'm going back after sunset, why haven't I seen him yet? Could it be that he overestimated his ability?"

Xue Li glanced at the snow tiger again, and it was still standing there majestically. , she looked into the distance again but still saw no one.

If Wei Jie dies, what should happen to the poison in her body? If someone bullies her, who should she look for to protect her?

Thinking of this, she was on pins and needles. She couldn't help but jump off the carriage and walked towards the road ahead. Jin Zheng followed her obediently.

"Where is Mrs. Xue going?"

Xue Li thought that he was asking knowingly and did not answer his question, but said: "Although it is dark, the snow light is so bright, he should be able to see that Jin Qinghui will be with him. ."

The more she spoke, the more anxious she became, and she whispered: "If you continue to fight at night, your master will be in trouble."

Jin Zheng said unconcernedly: "My master never waits until dark."

"I am so arrogant. People."

The white snow reflected the night, and even if he didn't hold up a light, he could still see the road ahead clearly, but for Wei Jie, the scenery in front of him was still a bit blurry.

Xia Houxin was slightly injured while capturing the general's leader. After the victory, he hung the enemy's head on a spear and held it high up in a showy manner. The smelly blood was sprinkled all over his body, but he still stood in front and led the way with dignity.

Wei Jie didn't want to go with him and followed him slowly at a distance. The light armor on his body was stained with a few bloodstains. He was a little impatient and just wanted to go back and take it off earlier.

A large number of people and horses walked through the avenue, and the sound of footsteps was extremely shocking. Xue Li heard it soon, and his footsteps became faster and faster. When she saw the human head raised from the spear, she immediately stopped. Then she suppressed her nausea and hurriedly looked for Wei Jie.

Xia Houxin saw two black figures in the distance and quickly recognized them as Xue Li. He then galloped over and waved his spear to show her off, with undisguised pride on his face. "Did you see it? This is Xu Cheng, the general under Zhao Shiduan. I personally captured one man and one horse..."
