Liu Taozi raised the spear in his hand and threw it towards the distance.

The spear flew out like lightning.

The knights only heard the sound of breaking through the air and a gust of wind blowing past their ears.

Dugu Yongye, who was wearing broken armor and wearing short-sighted soldiers, was pierced by the spear.

"Crack!!"

With the sound of bones breaking, the scene froze.

Dugu Yongye still raised the knife in his hand, his eyes fierce, and the horse under his crotch maintained a charging posture.

The spear passed through his abdomen, half behind him and half in front of him.

The picture suddenly broke again.

Dugu Yongye flew away from his horse, blood splattered.

The surrounding knights were terrified, and the elite guards who had followed Dugu Yongye and had experienced hundreds of battles also showed fear at this moment.

The leader they had protected for many years died.

However, the Han knights did not give them a chance to breathe, and rushed forward one after another. The guards fell to the ground one after another.

A layer of blood red was smeared on the charred land. On the dead trees in the distance, there were evil birds staring at the ground, as if they wanted to pick up some food to eat.

Corpses covered the ground, and the war horses that could still get up stood quietly aside, wailing.

Heavily armed soldiers were picking up the corpses and piling them together.

Someone started digging a hole on the spot to bury the enemy.

Kou Liu panted and walked to a high ground. His face was stained with blood, and he could no longer lift one of his hands. He seemed to have suffered something on his face. One eye was swollen, and he looked miserable.

"Brother."

He spoke.

Liu Taozi had already dismounted and half of his armor was removed. He stared at the battlefield opposite, silent.

"I failed to stop Dugu Yongye and shocked him."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Liu Taozi interrupted him.

After Dugu Yongye left the city, someone quickly informed Liu Taozi of the news. Liu Taozi asked Zu Jue to take Zhang Heizu and Shi Wansui to recover the area around Jinyong City, while he led Kou Liu to pursue Dugu Yongye.

Dugu Yongye ran very fast, and they did not run slowly either.

After chasing for a whole day and night, we finally caught up with the enemy here.

Dugu Yongye did not continue to escape, but launched a counterattack with his last confidants. The fighting was fierce, and Dugu Yongye once reached the position of the middle army where Liu Taozi was.

Then Liu Taozi threw a spear and killed him.

Kou Liu said no more and followed Liu Taozi's line of sight to look at the corpses.

The last group of Qi warriors, Lao Xianbei or someone who called himself Lao Xianbei, also died on the battlefield.

These people were rough, vicious, brave, unruly, and straightforward. They fought out of six towns with their swords raised, and then terrorized the world for decades.

The state of Qi rose because of them and fell because of them.

After clearing the battlefield, Liu Taozi led Kou Liu towards the direction of Jinyong City.

The damage along the road was very clean. Several counties in Luozhou and the villages outside the city were almost bulldozed. Walking this way, all you can see on the road are corpses.

Looking at these wreckage, Kou Liu was so angry that he wanted to kill Dugu Yongye a few more times.

He could die no matter how many times he died.

Jinyong City still retains the wounds left by many wars between Zhou and Qi.

The city wall can be seen with traces of wheel-throwing bullets. Many of the gaps are incomplete and riddled with holes. Broken arrows can even be seen stuck in the cracks of the city wall.

When Liu Taozi led the knights and came here with the severed heads and various flags, Zu Jue had already completed his mission.

After Dugu Yongye escaped, chaos broke out here.

Those with brains began to flee elsewhere, most of them running to the south, hoping to join Chen State.

The brainless ones took the opportunity to start looting, plundering grain depots, and even wanted to rob the palace.

When Zu Jue arrived, there were no soldiers left to fight in the city, and only a group of bandits were left.

Zu Jue took over the city without spending much money, sent people to control the city gates, and then arrested and suppressed them one by one.

Many of the rebels were killed, and the rest surrendered and were imprisoned.

Most of the ministers under Dugu Yongye chose to surrender before they had time to escape.

Of course, the most important thing is that they captured the little emperor established by Dugu Yongye and Duan Shao, Gao Yan.

When Liu Taozi and others arrived at the city gate, Zu Jue took the prisoners to greet the King of Han at the city gate.

The little emperor Gao Yan stood at the front with a look of horror on his face. His clothes had been replaced by ordinary clothes, and he was surrounded by elite soldiers on both sides.

He is a smart kid, but at heart, he is just a kid.

If he survives until summer this year, he will be eleven years old.

Zu Jue stood aside proudly and glanced at the little emperor with inexplicable malice.

When Liu Taozi appeared in front of everyone, everyone bowed to see her.

Zu Jue looked at the helpless little emperor and said in a low voice: "If you want to survive, then make a big gesture and accuse Duan Shao and Dugu Yongye."

The little emperor was trembling all over and didn't know what to say.

Zu Jue's eyes became colder little by little.

Liu Taozi dismounted, walked in front of everyone, and pulled Zu Jue up, "What's the situation in the city?"

"Your Majesty, all those who caused the rebellion have been caught, and the ministers under Dugu Yongye have not been able to escape. The false emperor has also been caught by us."

Liu Taozi then looked at the little guy beside him.

Gao Yan raised his head and looked at this notorious rebel.

Liu Taozi just glanced at him and turned her head elsewhere.

"Send this little baby to Pingcheng."

Zu Jue was a little anxious. He hurriedly came over and whispered: "Your Majesty, the destruction of Qi is a big deal."

"When Duan Shao took away the jade seal, he could be allowed to hold the jade seal and formally surrender in front of everyone in the world. He would condemn the actions of Duan Shao and Dugu Yongye, and prove that your majesty is the one destined by fate."

After listening to Zu Jue's words, Liu Taozi looked at him with intriguing eyes.

"Grandpa."

"Why did you start using this thing again?"

"Do I need a little doll to prove whether I am destined to be here?"

Zu Jue never gave in on certain issues. He said seriously: "This is not an ordinary little baby. This is the emperor in the eyes of many people who miss Qi. It is the last relic."

"Many common people south of the river may not all know Duan Shao and Dugu Yongye, but they must all know the Emperor of Qi."

"It is necessary for the emperor to surrender. Our troops are taking over the states and counties in various places. After this news is announced, it can help us clear the last obstacle and let the world know that Qi State has completely ceased to exist. From now on, it will be

Only Han."

Zu Jue rambled on and on.

Liu Taozi didn't care anymore, "Grandpa, let's go and do it."

Only then did Zu Jue feel satisfied.

Liu Taozi led the rest of the people into Jinyong City.

When his army reached Jinyong City, he had no further plans.

Liu Taozi did accumulate a lot of food last year, so he could send so many troops out together this year.

However, seeing that spring planting is approaching again, the war should gradually subside.

After returning to the palace, Zu Jue immediately took out his new strategy book.

After handing this document to Liu Taozi, Zu Jue was busy going through the standard procedures for the demise of the Puppet Qi.

Liu Taozi didn't care much about the process, but he was very interested in this new strategy.

Zu Jue's original strategy was to focus on the puppet Zhou Dynasty, and let Liu Taozi lead the armies of the four states and cooperate with the army of Shanglingzhou to attack from the north.

Because of Yang Su, the Han army's firepower was transferred from the north to the south, and the main attack direction was changed from the Puppet Zhou Dynasty to Henan.

From this perspective, Yang Su's strategy cannot be said to be completely useless.

Given the current state of the Puppet Zhou Dynasty, if Liu Taozi led the main force and many celebrities to attack from the north, it's hard to say what would happen.

Zu Jue changed his strategy at that time and attacked Dugu Yongye openly, killing Duan Shao, and secretly divided his forces to attack Zhou and seize its Xiazhou defense line.
