Jiang Zhen laughed out loud at Lian Ben, "It's not that Jiang Zhen looks down on the general, it's just that Jiang Zhen thinks that with the general's strength, if Jiang Zhen didn't give way to the general, the general wouldn't have lasted more than three moves from me!"

After hearing that, Lian Ben flew into a rage, "You arrogant bastard! Good! Good! Good! This vanguard would like to see exactly how capable you are! " After saying that, Lian Ben was about to rush out when Meng Jian pulled him back and said in a low voice, "General Lian, don't try to incite him. It seems to me that this fellow is looking for death. There must be a reason for this."

Before Lian Ben could say anything, Jiang Zhen shouted loudly: "What's wrong, General Lian, do you dare to fight with me? "If you do not dare, then hurry up and scram back with your men!"

After hearing this, Lian Ben shouted angrily at Meng Jian, "I don't care if he wants to die or what. Even if he doesn't want to die, he can't do it now!" After saying this, Lian Ben smacked his horse and dashed out. Jiang Zhen saw Lian Ben rushing towards him and wanted to stab him with the three trident, so he immediately used the golden gourd to block. Then, he used the other end of the golden gourd to smash Jiang Zhen's back.

Jiang Zhen's legs grabbed onto the horse and his body leaned against it, dodging Lian Ben's golden melon. He returned his hand and stabbed at Lian Ben's horse, catching it off guard, causing the horse to immediately gallop towards Hangzhou with a cry of pain. Meng Jian and An saw that the situation wasn't good and the two of them quickly rushed over to support each other, while Jiang Zhen stood there with his hands crossed in front of his chest and laughed, "Let's go together! This general wants to see just how many of you can beat Ben!" After saying that, he patted his horse and went up to welcome them.

The three of them circled around the formation for a while, swinging their weapons like knives, spears and forks. Jiang Zhen, Meng Jian and An Called the two of them to fight for twenty to thirty rounds without losing, and there was even a slight backlash. After Lian Ben's warhorse was startled, he quickly grabbed a new batch of horses from the soldiers beside him and joined the battle.

His sister had stabbed out from a completely unexpected location, causing the three of them to have no choice but to withdraw the blades in their hands and protect themselves. After the three of them had fought for more than ten rounds, Jiang Zhen was finally unable to hold on anymore, not just because Jiang Zhen had always fought alone against three opponents, but also because Jiang Zhen had purposely let Lian Ben hit him with his hammer just now, causing the pain in Jiang Zhen's chest to become even more intense.

Meng Jian and the other two gradually felt that Jiang Zhen's method was a little messy and their physical strength was a little insufficient. The three of them immediately brandished their weapons and greeted Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen's chest was pierced with a spear before being smashed down from his horse by Lian Ben's golden gourd.

When Lian Xin saw Jiang Zhen dismount, he didn't even give him the chance to catch his breath. He brandished the Golden Cucumis Hammer in his hand and smashed it towards Jiang Zhen's head. At this moment, he heard a delicate shout come from behind him, "General Lian, please be lenient!" Before his voice fell, he saw Yuan Li Sha rushing out from the army.

When Jiang Zhen saw Yuan Lisha coming over, he used his three heavenly tridents to prop himself up from the ground and stood up with great difficulty. He then lightly called out, "Li Sha." Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Zhen vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. Yuan Lisha hurriedly rushed down from the horse and hugged Jiang Zhen as she cried out loudly, "Brother Zhen, I'm sorry, Li Sha came too late."

Jiang Zhen looked at Yuan Lisha and said with a faint smile, "At least I can see you again before I die."

Yuan Lisha cried, "Brother Zhen, you'll be fine. I'll immediately have the military doctors come and treat you. You'll be fine." After saying that, Yuan Lisha immediately got up to look for the army doctor with the army. At this moment, Jiang Zhen grabbed her and said with a smile, "No need. Even if I can live, I won't be able to."

After listening, Yuan Lisha loudly cried, "Why?" Do you really have the heart to abandon me like this? "

Jiang Zhen smiled and said, "Yuan Chenyuan has detained all my family members in Jinhua City. If I surrender, my family of over 30 people will be killed by him, so I can only live and die with Hangzhou City, but I can't bear to fight with you. I can't bear to have hundreds of thousands of Hangzhou City's citizens become the victims of this battle, so I can only die here. I just hope that you don't start killing after entering the city."

At this moment, Lian Ben, who was standing beside Jiang Chen, shouted angrily, "General Jiang, it's Lian Ben's fault. So you're so righteous, General Jiang, it's Lian Ben's fault!"

Jiang Zhen laughed after hearing that, "General Lian, you don't have to say it like that. Three generals are experts in martial arts. Cough! "Ahem!" Jiang Zhen had just finished speaking when he violently coughed out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, Jiang Zhen had been hit by two of Lian Ben's hammers and had his internal organs shattered by the impact. If it wasn't for Jiang Zhen's excellent physical fitness and his powerful martial arts skills, he would have died a long time ago.

Yuan Li Sha saw this and felt pain in her heart. While crying, she hissed, "Brother Zhen, don't say anymore. Li Sha must save you."

Upon seeing Jiang Zhen's death, Yuan Lisha immediately cried her heart out. Meng Li, along with the other three high-ranking officers hurriedly saved Yuan Lisha, consoling her nonstop. When Yuan Lisha woke up, she once again burst into tears, but in the midst of her grief, Yuan Li swore an oath that she would behead Yuan Chenghong.

Everyone carried Jiang Zhen back to Hangzhou City for a good burial. After hearing the news, An Jiajiao, Xu Yunxian and the others immediately rushed over. They deeply admired Jiang Zhen's righteousness, and advised Yuan Lisha to change her fate. However, because Yuan Lisha was too sad, it was inappropriate for her to participate in the battle, so An Jiajiao left her in Hangzhou City to recuperate.

Along the way, Lian Ben asked Yuan Lisha about the situation with Jiang Zhen. An Jiajia only said that Yuan Lisha would come and bring down Jiang Zhen the moment she heard that the guard guarding Hangzhou was Jiang Zhen, but no one expected that Yuan Lisha and Jiang Zhen were actually lovers. An Jiajia could not help but regret the way Jiang Zhen had instigated them, and in a fit of anger, they actually killed Jiang Zhen.

Along the way, the army almost did not encounter any obstructions until they arrived at Jinhua City. When they arrived at Jinhua City, they saw that the city gates had been opened from the inside, and a few young eunuchs had come out. The leader of the group was dragging a tray with something wrapped in red cloth, and was walking towards the An clan.

The young eunuch came forward and knelt on the ground as he said loudly, "General An, we are willing to offer up our Master Yuan Cheng Zong to you, General An, to bypass our lives!"

The more the An clan opened the red cloth, the more they opened it and found out that a bloody head of Yuan Chengzong had been placed on a plate. The more the An clan asked who killed Yuan Chengzong, the more the young eunuch replied that he did not know either, only knowing that Yuan Chengzong had been killed in the morning and that he was afraid of being implicated, so he gave Yuan Chengzong's head to the An clan for help.

He didn't expect that Yuan Cheng would actually die in such an obscure manner in the end. However, since Yuan Cheng was dead and the rebellion had been pacified, Xu Yungong, An Yue, and the others would definitely return to report this matter to Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the Golden Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed upon seeing Yuan Chengzong's head. Above the Golden Hall, he bestowed the An clan with the title of Marquis of Ji Prefecture, Zhen Yang was the Madam of the First Pin, and all the other generals were rewarded.
