Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Rise of Murder Names
From noon to dusk, the men and horses of the Heroes Club finally killed the intercepted officers and soldiers in front of them, except for the dozen or so martial arts masters who saw that the opportunity was wrong and fled early, the rest of the officers and soldiers were all dumplings by the tens of thousands of men and horses of the Heroes Club. $$
It's just 'kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself', although the heroes will achieve extremely brilliant results this time, but they also pay a heavy price. Those who came to support later said that among the 3,000 men and horses who followed Cheng Yanjin into Bingzhou, more than 200 of the 500 cavalry died, and this was because they were all masters of martial arts, and those ordinary officers and soldiers could not stop them, and because Cheng Yanjin brought the infantry to break them, they were able to evacuate the battlefield very early.
And the remaining infantry of the Quartet did not have such good luck, the original team of more than 2,000 people, when the battle was over, there were only a few hundred people left, just a fraction of the original, Cheng Biting Jin's eyes turned red.
Looking back at the officers and soldiers who had already had their weapons confiscated, Cheng Yanjin's eyes became colder and colder. Turning around, Cheng Yanjin instructed Zhang Liang beside him, "You give the order, these captured officers and soldiers who are willing to surrender will stay, and those who are unwilling to surrender will be killed." When killing, let those who are willing to surrender do it, and if no one is willing to surrender the petition, kill him! ”
Listening to the cold tone in Cheng Yanjin's words, even Zhang Liang, who had killed countless people, couldn't help but shudder, didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly went down to give the order. Seeing that the officers and soldiers below began to kill their companions after a painful choice, Cheng Biting Jin laughed.
These officers and soldiers killed so many of his men, and he longed to bury them all alive to pay for his brothers' lives. It's just that Cheng Yanjin also knows that these people are just acting on orders, and the real culprit is Li Jiancheng.
But that doesn't mean that Cheng Yanjin can easily forgive these officers and soldiers. He had already made up his mind that if these officers and soldiers refused to surrender, they would all be killed, even those officers and soldiers who were willing to surrender would be cannon fodder for him to conquer the world in the future. If they have a great life and do not die after many battles, then what does it matter if you forgive them!
After cleaning the battlefield, Cheng Yanjin slowly walked to the Huoding, looking at the guy in front of him who was not damaged at all, Cheng Yanjin nodded with satisfaction, pretending not to see the inquiring eyes of several subordinates next to him.
After this battle, many of Cheng Biting Jin's heroes and centaurs also look decent, and they have a hint of iron horse grandeur. Because the last interception team arranged by Li Valve was killed cleanly, Cheng Yanjin's road was already a road to heaven and unimpeded. As for the pursuers who were chasing behind him day and night, Cheng Yanjin didn't bother to pay attention to them now. Everyone is a little tired from killing, and now the priority is to hurry back and rest. As for revenge on Li Jiancheng, there will be time in the future.
Tens of thousands of horses smoothly left the state and rushed towards Qingzhou. Along the way, the momentum was huge, and all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods of the green forest avoided it, lest they be destroyed by this strong 'strong dragon'.
In Li Valve's family base, after learning that Cheng Yanjin successfully broke through the blockade and left safely, Li Jiancheng, who was drinking tea, instantly dropped the teacup on the ground. He really couldn't figure it out, he spent a lot of effort and mobilized all the forces he could muster, but he still couldn't leave the damn Cheng Yanjin behind.
Putting aside the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who died in battle, just the team of elite soldiers mobilized from Jinyang Palace, Li Jiancheng didn't know how to explain to the imperial court. That is not an ordinary sergeant, it is directly under the army of today's son Yang Guang, although it is said that Pei Lian, the palace supervisor of Jinyang Palace, has already taken refuge in Li Zhu, but he can't cover such a big thing.
Just when Li Jiancheng was in a hurry, suddenly a strong voice came: "Something that has no interest, such a trivial thing scares you like this!" In the future, how can I rest assured that you are in charge of this huge family! ”
Li Jiancheng turned his head in surprise when he heard this, and bowed to the door, "I've seen my father!" "It was Li Yuan, the owner of the Li Valve, who came.
Sitting down in the main seat, looking at his son who was already in a cold sweat on his forehead, Li Yuan shook his head with some sighs, "You, let me say what about you!" Aren't there just some people dead? What are you afraid of? As for making you so helpless? ”
Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly and said, "Father, aren't there some dead people?" Not to mention the huge number of ordinary officers and soldiers who died, there are even elite soldiers who were transferred from Jinyang Palace privately, and this one alone is a capital crime if it is passed on to the saint! ”
"Humph! Do you suppose your father does not know this? Without the approval of your father, it's no wonder that you can borrow a soldier from Jinyang Palace! Staring at his son, who was frightened by his words, Li Yuan continued, "Those elite soldiers are dead when they die, what is the use of you being in a hurry there?" Aren't they just people? Just find someone from somewhere else to replace you! ”
"Father, this impostor is easy to spot! That Jinyang Palace" Li Jiancheng was interrupted by his father before he finished speaking.
"Jinyang Palace! What happened to Jinyang Palace? Don't forget, Pei Lian, the palace supervisor of Jinyang Palace, is our Li Valve's people. Besides, the saint can come to this Jinyang Palace for a few days throughout the year, and when the time comes, as long as Pei Lin is clever and doesn't show his feet, it will be fine! Li Yuan said with some hatred that iron does not become steel.
Although his eldest son is steady, he can't withstand the wind and waves, and whenever something happens, he will be in chaos. It would have been fine in times of peace, but in this era of war and chaos, this does not bode well.
Looking at Li Jiancheng, who was standing there pondering, Li Yuan continued, "As for the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who died in the battle, they directly reported it to the imperial court, saying that there were rebels and thieves. Anyway, this state is not peaceful, and it is just because of this stubble that those people in the imperial court can add some soldiers, horses, food and grass to us here. ”
Saying that, Li Yuan said to Li Jiancheng earnestly: "Don't make trouble if it's okay, don't be afraid of things if something happens!" Now that the matter has been settled, as the head of the family, all you have to think about is how to use what has happened for yourself and for the benefit of the family.
As one of the four major valves, how many things can make us afraid? What if the Holy One knew about it? Can he still kill you just because of such a small mistake? Not to mention that the old man disagrees, even the other three surnamed gate valves will not be so nonsense from the saint.
As the heir of my Li Valve, you must have the momentum of my Li Valve, you can't be easily intimidated by anyone or anything, and you can't weaken my Li Valve's name! Otherwise, you will be laughed at by the heroes of the world! ”
"The child obeys!" Li Jiancheng bowed his head and responded. "It's just that Cheng Biting Jin, who escaped, how should he deal with it? This man has humiliated me several times, and now he has openly killed tens of thousands of people from my state, and then left with a swagger. This man is so arrogant that the child begs his father to send out the dead soldiers of the family to crush this man and scatter his ashes to set an example! ”
"It's really confusing, the officers and soldiers who died are not from our Li family, although these people are ordered by you to hunt down and kill that Cheng Biting Jin, but in the final analysis, they are all under the orders of the imperial court, not to mention that they are all dead, or they are all dead, and it has nothing to do with my Li family!
As for Cheng Biting Jin, who escaped, do you only have the idea of killing this person in your heart? You don't think about it, since this person can be killed from that heavy siege, he is obviously a great character. There are many ways to deal with this kind of person, how did you choose the worst one?
Do you think, if a character like this who can fight and kill, if he becomes my Li Valve's subordinate and lets him work for my Li Valve, we can not only let him kill those powerful enemies for us, but also kill him when he is useless, isn't this better than killing him?
You must know that in this world, not only friends, but also enemies can be used. Turning our enemy into a knife in our hands can not only strengthen our strength and reduce those unnecessary losses, but also take his life and death into our hands, and take revenge on him anytime and anywhere, isn't it a very happy thing? Doesn't it make you happier than if you sent someone to kill him? ”
Looking at his son who nodded frequently, Li Yuan said with relief, "This Cheng Biting Jin, don't think about revenge for the time being!" He himself is highly skilled in martial arts, and he has such a group of people under his hands, if we can pull him to our Li family, we can greatly increase our strength.
Isn't your second brother having a good relationship with this Cheng Biting Gold? Another day, let him bring some gifts to make amends for you, and you have to lower your posture, no matter whether you really agree or fake it, as long as you can let him work for our Li family, it will be enough! ”
Li Jiancheng bowed down happily and convincingly: "Everything must follow the orders of my father!" ”
"Well, it's good that you can figure it out, and you can send more men to investigate the route that Cheng Jinjin has taken, and find out why he went to such great lengths to get a big tripod out of here. What is the function of that tripod, this question must be clarified! ”
"The child has already sent someone to investigate two days ago, and I believe it will pay off in a few days!"
"Well, let the people below be sure to investigate carefully, don't be careless!"
"The child obeys!"
Just when Li Valve's father and son were discussing how to deal with Cheng Yanjin, a group of elders of the Song family in the Song family mountain city in Lingnan were also discussing him. Although it was said that Cheng Biting Jin's troubles and annexing the state were blocked by Li Valve's people, how could the Song family, which is also one of the four major gates, be covered up by that small means, so what Cheng Biting Jin did in Bingzhou was sorted out into a detailed piece of information and placed in front of several elders of the Song family within a few days.
Looking at the information in front of them, several elders of the Song family were also a little embarrassed. What Cheng Cheng did was enough for them to pay attention to it. The problem is that the elders have not been able to agree on the handling of this person.
Recruit this person as the son-in-law of the Song family, not to mention turning out the eighteen generations of this person's ancestors, just by finding the third generation, it was found that the Cheng family was mixed with traces of northern Hu blood. Let him be the guest elder of the Song family, as far as his martial arts cultivation is concerned, all the elders here are unwilling to surrender their identities and call him brothers.
But ignoring Cheng Biting Jin, several elders of the Song family felt pity. For a long time, the influence of the Song family has been limited to the Lingnan area, and has never been to the Central Plains. Now that there is finally an opportunity to plant nails in the Central Plains and expand the influence of the Song family, how can the people of the Song family let it go.
In order to deal with the problem of biting gold in this journey, several elders of the Song family discussed from day to night, and did not come up with a specific and feasible solution. This bite of gold is like a tasteless food, discarded chicken ribs with meat, which makes it difficult for several elders of the Song family to make a decision.
