...

Seeing the dense and neat Liangshan army, Ximenqing's sworn brothers were paralyzed all of a sudden, even Ximenqing's face turned pale with fright, and the Wang Po was so frightened that she cried!

pity!

No one cares about the feelings of these troublemakers anymore!
Not only that, many big households who are in pain because they have to take money and food out of the house even want to eat their trouble-making spirits raw!
Li Zhixian rushed down and shouted: "Heroes, we have captured Ximenqing, Wang Po and others, and now they are all kneeling on the city wall. In addition, we have already invited Wu Erlang. I hope that the heroes will have the virtue of good life in heaven." , stop fighting!"

Ruan Xiaoqi rode forward again, and said, "Bring out grandpa's brother Wu Erlang by using the Bachi bridge, drag Ximen Qing, Wang Po and the other dogs out to grandpas, and send the money and silver to grandpas." Come out, as long as you complete these three things, the grandpas will retreat immediately!"

Lizhi County discussed and said: "I beg you to be kind, our Yanggu is only a small county, and this year's drought, 500 million shi grains, 500 million guan coins, my county party committee really can't afford it, I beg the heroes to accommodate, The food will be reduced to 50 shi, and the money will be reduced to 50 guan, okay?"

Ruan Xiaoqi pointed at Lizhi County with his saber, and said, "You think our Liangshan Army is a beggar? Only Ximen Qing and others have more than that. I think you will not cry when you see the coffin!"

At this moment, the Liangshan infantry appeared neatly in the distance!
After looking at it, Ruan Xiaoqi pointed at Li Zhixian and the others with a saber and said, "Dog officials, pig officials, and you rich and heartless landlords and Lao Cai, wash your necks and wait for the public trial!"

After saying that, Ruan Xiaoqi flattered him and returned to his camp.

Li Yan, who had already heard the conversation between Ruan Xiaoqi and Li Zhixian, didn't look at Ruan Xiaoqi, but turned to ask Zhu Wu: "If you attack by force, how should you attack?"

Zhu Wu replied: "Attack from all sides, three falsehoods and one solidity."

Li Yan asked again: "Which side is empty? Which side is real?"

Zhu Wudao: "There is reality in the virtual, and there is fiction in the real. Which side is virtual and which side is real, we can decide temporarily according to the specific situation."

Li Yan looked at Li Zhixian and others in the city, and said: "They treat our Liangshan army as beggars, and if they don't show their sincerity next time, maybe we have to fight this... Military division, if Start the war, this battle is under your command."

Zhu Wu's heart became hot, and he listened to his words and watched his actions. Now Zhu Wu really believed that Li Yan really regarded him as a military advisor, and he was not just promoting him to win over their Shaohuashan family.

A person as intelligent as Zhu Wu naturally wouldn't say much, because people like them understand that no matter how much they say, it's better to do more.

Zhu Wuchong clasped his fists at Li Yan and said, "Yes, brother!"

After speaking, Zhu Wu went down to arrange the siege.

Li Yan's prestige is so high that no one can shake it, it's time to cultivate talents who can stand alone, and Zhu Wu is obviously such a talent, so Li Yan consciously began to build a stage for Zhu Wu to help Zhu Wu accumulate prestige, In order to send Zhu Wu to work alone with others in the future.

Seeing that the Liangshan army under the city began to mobilize, Li Zhixian and others above the city all panicked!
Lizhi County complained to those big households who refused to pluck their hairs and said: "I'll let you wait for money and food, this time it's okay, everyone is waiting to go to the public trial stand to have their heads chopped off and their homes ransacked!"

A big family said: "How can this Li Yan be so stupid, asking for a lot of money to pay back the money on the spot, and paying back the owner of a village, he doesn't even understand such things!"

Another big family agreed: "That's right, I'm not forbidding him to pay back the money. How can we start a fight at the slightest disagreement? You're really reckless!"

At this time, a burly man with a face as heavy as jujube, phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows and beard over his belly couldn't help but said: "Several high officials can slowly bargain with that Li Yan before they start preparing to attack the city. I still have time. "

Hearing such a run on by the red-faced man, the faces of several big households were not good-looking, especially the few big households who just asked Lizhi County to offer 50 shi of grain and 50 guan coins!
Seeing the Liangshan army mobilized in an orderly manner under the city, the faces of these big households are even more ugly!

A big man gritted his teeth in pain and said, "It's not because you and other generals are incompetent, otherwise how could we suffer such humiliation!"

This big family spoke out the aspirations of other big family members, and someone immediately agreed:

"That's right! It's because you generals are incompetent that bandits dare to be so rampant, and openly besieged the city to extort money and food!"

"If there is a general like General Mian Nie in our county, how dare Li Yan come to our county to act wildly!"

"Who said there are no powerful generals in our county? There is a martial sage heir in our county, with a Yanyue steel knife in his hand, it is said that he is invincible all over the world!"

"There are such heroes in our county, how could I not know!"

"Maybe it's a fabrication. How could the hero surnamed Yun come from our county? We are destined to be blackmailed by bandits!"

"..."

Yun Tianbiao was overwhelmed by all the rich people, his face turned purple eggplant color, then he raised his beard and said loudly: "Wait for a certain family to get that Li Yan's dog head!"

After finishing speaking, Yun Tianbiao raised his knife and went down the city wall.

Not long after, Li Yan, who was listening to Zhu Wu's arrangement for the siege, saw the city gate open!
Li Yan was taken aback!
The soldiers of the Liangshan Army were also taken aback!
Soon, the gates of the city opened wide, and more than 200 machete men ran out.

After the more than 200 machete fighters left the city, they split to the left and right, and took out a general.

With phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, green robe and gold armor, blue scarf and red face, beautiful beard fluttering, riding a Dawan white horse, holding the Yanyue steel knife upside down, only a red rabbit horse is missing, and Guan Yu is alive and well.

When this general and the more than 200 machetes he brought lined up, the city gate that had just been opened was closed again.

Li Yan and the others looked at each other, who is this guy?Why is this guy so similar to Guan Yu?What is this thing for?
Lin Chong said: "I heard that Pudong inspecting Guan Sheng is a descendant of Guan Yu. He is very similar to his ancestors, proficient in the art of war, and has undue courage. He must be that Guan Sheng?"

Yun Tianbiao stepped forward on his horse, and said in a clear voice: "A certain family is Yun Tianbiao, the chief of the land army and horse department in Yanggu County. I heard that you are a strong general in Liangshanbo, like Yun. Do you dare to fight me one-on-one?"

Hearing that Yun Tianbiao wanted to single out the generals, Lin Chong, Zhang Qing, Shi Jin, and Chen Liqing challenged at the same time:

"Brother, let me meet him for a while!"

"Brother, I'm going to fight!"

"I beg my brother to give me this opportunity!"

"I go!"

Looking at the four Lin Chong who were eager to try, Li Yan thought: "Is there really such a stupid thing as fighting before the battle?"

What Li Yan didn't know was that there were really stories about fighting generals in ancient times, and not all of them were just rumors of barnyard officials.

Zhao Yi, who is known as one of the three masters of historical textual research in the Qing Dynasty, cited more examples of battles and generals in "Kao Yu Cong Kao", most of which come from official history.According to Zhao Yi's introduction, from the Spring and Autumn period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, there are very few records about fighting generals in official history. According to the "Spring and Autumn Annals", in the first year of Lu Xi, the army of Youshuai, the prince of the state of Lu, defeated the army of the state of Ju in Li.Zhao Yi said that "Zuo Zhuan" mentioned that at that time, the son-in-law You said to Juna: "There is a feud between the two of us, what is the crime of the soldiers?"It can be seen that the matter of fighting generals has already existed in the Spring and Autumn Period. "Hanshu" once recorded that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought in Guangwu, and Xiang Yu wanted to fight Liu Bang single-handedly.Liu Bang said: "I would rather fight wits than strength."Xiang Yu ordered his warriors to challenge him, but was killed by the Han general Lou Fan with an arrow.

Li Yan's point of view is exactly the same as Liu Bang's, and he is extremely disgusted with such stupid things as fighting generals, especially when he has an absolute advantage on his side

Although this will inevitably lose some dignity in front of the battle, it can win a fighting opportunity.

Li Yan pointed at Yun Tianbiao and the others with his stick, and said, "I shot them!"

After hearing Li Yan's order, Lin Chong, Zhang Qing, Shi Jin, and Chen Liqing were all taken aback. They didn't expect Li Yan to give such an order!

But none of them dared to be negligent, and immediately ordered the people in the headquarters to draw their bows and arrows!
In an instant, a rain of arrows shot at Yun Tianbiao and the others!

This is not over yet, Li Yan waved the mixed iron panlong stick in his hand, and at the same time ordered: "Come on! Kill them all with me!"

Hearing Li Yan's order, Lin Chong, Zhang Qing, and Shi Jin led their headquarters to charge forward at the same time, and shot a rain of arrows at Yun Tianbiao and others...
