The death of Lieutenant General Wu Cheng instantly extinguished the raging flames in Li Tianrun's heart. Looking at the high-spirited Tian Yunpeng not far ahead, Li Tianrun hesitated, with mixed feelings in his heart, and finally chose to lead the army and retreat!
"If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. When the time comes and the situation changes, I will cut down your flag to sacrifice."
Li Tianrun, who had said harsh words, did not dare to anger Tian Yunpeng again.
Dangjiu led his soldiers to run and retreat towards Poyang Lake.
Looking at the embarrassment of the bandit general Li Tianrun leading the retreat, Tian Yunpeng flashed a trace of contempt in his eyes and did not continue to pay attention.
Instead, he handed over the power of commanding his troops to Pichen and Pihan, who were assisting in the battle, and asked them to lead the soldiers to pursue Li Tianrun's fleeing army.
Be sure to connect to the next step of General Lian Po’s strategy in time!
"I'll keep it in mind"
Pihan and Bichen cupped their hands and took the military talisman handed over by Tian Yunpeng.
Then he led the tiger soldiers under his command and chased in the direction of Li Tianrun.
Let’s look at Li Tianrun again. After he was defeated by Tian Yunpeng, he fled north and wanted to return to Poyang Lake. However, the dense forest was deep and he would not be able to retreat for a while. This actually created an excellent situation for Lian Po and others to implement their plan smoothly.
Cooperate!
When Li Tianrun led his army to retreat to three-quarters of the dense forest, they were shocked to see birds and beasts scattered in all directions. An army of more than 8,000 people, well prepared, blocked their retreat.
"Is this the Southern General Li Tianrun in front of you?"
Hearing the voice coming from the direction of Yuan Jun from the opposite side, Li Tianrun was stunned for a moment, then he braced himself 200% and responded cautiously.
"So what? Can I leave my name when I come?"
Seeing Li Tianrun like this, Yuan Fang sneered and did not immediately report his name. Instead, he looked at him carelessly, intending to delay the time until Tian Yunpengjun arrived.
Then attack from both sides.
"Yuan has long heard that there is a tiger general named Li Tianrun under Fang La's command in the southern country.
He is said to be brave enough that no one can match him, but when I saw him today, he was like a tortoise with its head shrunk and a mouse scurrying around holding its head. How could he be called a tiger general?
In my opinion, it would be better to change it to the number one turtle general in the South or the number one rat general in the South. What do you think, General Li? Do you think my idea is a good one?"
As soon as Yuan Fang said these words, the eight thousand soldiers behind him laughed loudly. It also made Li Tianrun on the opposite side lose face, and even the morale of his soldiers was low.
"How dare a rat dare to insult me? I think you are an old man who has hanged himself. You are tired of living."
Li Tianrun, who was furious with anger, had red eyes and bared his teeth, wishing to cut Yuan Fang across from him into pieces with a thousand knives.
"General Li Tianrun, you are very good at pulling! What's the use of pulling? You need to be strong and have a background to get around. Which path are you in? Oh, it turns out you are a little loser!"
Yuan Fang, who often worked beside Yuan Shu, was naturally familiar with the "Yuan Family's Quotations". Now he mocked the enemy Li Tianrun in front of the entire army and made "Yuan Cui" shine.
"Shu Zian dares to insult me,
Die for me!"
Li Tianrun became so angry that he completely lost his mind. He directly picked up the magic weapon in his hand and rushed towards Yuan Fang's army.
When Yuan Fang saw this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and then summoned his general Pishu to march out to meet the enemy. Bishu understood this, immediately raised his weapons, tightened the reins, and faced Li Tianrun directly!
"Ding! Li Tianrun's skill "King of Swords" is activated, and its basic force value is detected to be 99. Weapon skills are activated, Red Mian Baoju 1, Iron and Steel Hundred Refinement Sword 1, and the force value is increased to 102 (104)."
As a fierce general of the Southern Kingdom, Li Tianrun has been practicing hard for several years, making his basic force value break through to 99 points, and even touching the border of 100 points. However, even if his weapon skills are activated, his basic force value is still not as high as that of Pishu!
Which one is strong and which one is weak can be known at a glance...
In an instant, the two generals were entangled, and in a short period of time they could not decide the outcome. The main thing was to cooperate with Lian Po's next strategy!
"Li Tianrun, I think you are good at martial arts, so why did you join the bandits? Why don't you come under my command, Yuan Jun, and get an official position?"
When Li Tianrun heard Bi Shu's words, his face was livid, his eyes were burning with anger, his arms were violently exerted, and his veins popped out, and he could vaguely compete with Bi Shu.
"A good minister will not serve the two masters. What's more, the Southern Kingdom is still there, and I have not yet fallen to the point of becoming a defeated general who will subjugate the country.
In the public sector, Fang La was kind to me, and I will repay it with my life! In the private sector, he was a violent man who oppressed the people, causing the death of both my parents. Then my only brother Li Tianyou died in the rebellion. If I surrender to you,
, what face can you have to live in this world?”
As the saying goes, hateful people must be pitiful. Li Tianrun is a typical example. He was born in troubled times and was forced to rebel. Now there is no way back. He can only walk in the dark, even if he knows that he will die if he continues.
, so what?
As little people like them, if they don't break out in silence, they can only die in silence! How many people can really die a good death?
"When we were born in troubled times, everyone was their own masters and surrendered to Fang La. It's not your fault. It's just that the laws of heaven are unfair and the court is mediocre. As a result, evil is in power, the people are in dire straits, and the princes are separatist."
During the fight with Li Tianrun, Pishua deeply felt the hardships of Li Tianrun climbing up the ladder step by step as a small person, and also felt sad for his experience.
"My lord Yuan Shu has great ambitions, takes the people of the world as his own responsibility, and works hard day and night. Under his rule in Yuzhou, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and do not pick up lost things on the road. Can he be regarded as a wise king of the previous generation?"
After hearing what Pishua said, Li Tianrun paused for a moment while using the moves on his hands, and couldn't believe it. Is there really a pure land in this troubled world?
"If what you say is true, this Yuan Shu will indeed be a wise king!"
Li Tianrun took a deep breath. Although his whole body's aura was weakened, his strength in his hands remained undiminished. He continued to be entangled with Bi Shu, and the outcome was indistinguishable for more than fifty rounds!
"Ding! During the battle with Pi Shu, Li Tianrun realized the true meaning of life, resulting in a breakthrough in martial arts. The basic force value was permanently increased by 1 point. The current basic force value is 100, and the force value is increased to 103 (105)."
The breakthrough on the battlefield made the battle between Li Tianrun and Pi Shu last longer, and they would fight for dozens more rounds without deciding the outcome!
"General Pishu must not be wary."
Seeing that Pishu was still unable to capture Li Tianrun, this made Yuan Fang, the commander in chief, a little anxious, and he quickly shouted to signal Pishu to end the battle as soon as possible.
When Pishu heard this, he could only increase the strength in his hands, hoping to capture Li Tianrun alive!
"Bichen, Bihan is here. Brother, please don't let this enemy general go."
A sudden change occurred on the battlefield. When everyone took a closer look, it turned out that Pichen and Pihan were leading the army to pursue the thieves. On the way, they saw the thieves fighting Yuan Fang's troops and came to support them.
The two Yuan armies merged into one army, eight thousand plus five thousand, directly forming an army of ten thousand people, which far exceeded the five thousand soldiers under Li Tianrun on the opposite side!
In terms of numbers, morale, and weapon strength, Yuan's army crushed the opponent, but only Li Tianrun's army could not catch the eyes of Yuan Shu, Lian Po and others.
Their purpose is to annihilate all the new forces in the Southern Kingdom, leaving them completely powerless to resist!
