"Seriously, General, don't you really care?"

Under the dumb eyes of Cheng Yang, Withered Sheep and others, Xu Chang, the young general of the former Withered Sheep Army, cautiously asked Liao Li, who was sitting by the bonfire roasting hares.

It was dusk one day before Liao Li's army arrived in Jizhou, because he had already overfulfilled the day's rush, so Liao Li was not stingy to let the soldiers under his command bake the fire and rest, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as the young general Xu Chang sat down, he asked thoughtlessly.

Because the withered sheep was only a hundred generals at that time, and as his former general, Xu Chang only got a position of chief after being incorporated into the Jizhou Army.

"What?" Liao Li glanced at Xu Chang suspiciously when he heard this.

I saw Xu Chang lick his lips, laughed a few times, and said embarrassedly, "It's your title of general...... Now General Fei Guo, General Ma Dan, and you, the general, are the three generals of my Jizhou Army, and no one is outstanding! However, General Fei Guo was called 'Tiger of Liang State', and General Ma Dan was called 'Wolf of Yanmen', but only the general ......"

"What's wrong?" Dialing the bonfire, Liao Li looked at Xu Chang with a smile.

Looking at Liao Li's smiling expression, Xu Chang didn't know what to say in his heart, so he had to look at his former old boss Withered Sheep with a look of help.

Originally, the withered sheep was not very interested in this kind of thing such as who broke into what title, but since it involved Liao Li, a general whom he had a good impression of, this aroused his curiosity in Xinzhong. Therefore, after noticing Xu Chang's gaze for help, he couldn't help but say. "The cattle of Nanyang, Jingzhou...... No matter how you listen to it, it doesn't feel as domineering and majestic as the tiger wolf......"

As soon as the words fell, a group of highly qualified generals such as Chengyang nearby burst into laughter.

"Haha. Cow ......"

"It's really not as domineering as Lao Fei and Lao Ma...... I said, General, your title has really lost the prestige of our three armies......"

"I'll go back and beg your lord to see if I can be transferred to the first or second army...... In the future, if any enemy general comes out to show the name of your general, if we talk about a cow in Nanyang, Jingzhou, this will not make others laugh to death? ”

Looking at the laughing and teasing appearance of the group of generals in the army, it was obvious that they had joked about Liao Li's title more than once.

But. Liao Li's expression remained the same, turning the hare strung on the branches, and saying slowly, "The cattle of Nanyang, Jingzhou...... Isn't that a good title? I think it's appropriate to listen to it, you see, I was originally born in Nanyang, Jingzhou......"

"The key is in the back!" Seeing that Liao Li was unmoved, the withered sheep said with some tears and laughter. "Cow ...... I always feel so awkward......"

"Hehehe!" Liao Li shook his head and smiled, and said indifferently, "I see...... You think cows are too weak, don't you? ”

The withered sheep nodded again and again, and said with a little admiration, "A fierce general like a general." Withered sheep thinks it should be given a more domineering name! ”

His words are not flattery, after all, Liao Li is a fierce general that even Wu Heng, the fourth commander of the Taiping Army, is very afraid of, and he once commanded a three-sided battle in Guangling City at the same time, and blocked the attack of tens of thousands of Taiping troops with 10,000 troops, and even. It can also suppress the breathlessness of the Taiping army in turn.

It seems that such a fierce general finally fell to the title of a 'cow', and the withered sheep really felt worthless for Liao Li.

And at this time. Cheng Yang walked over and interjected, "Actually, the title of your General Liao is not a cow, but a stubborn cow!" - At first, this was what the eldest grandson military master called. ”

"Mrs. Eldest Sun?" The withered sheep was slightly stunned, he naturally knew who the eldest grandson military master in Chengyang's mouth was referring to. According to seniority, he also has to call the eldest grandson Xiangyu a godsister.

"Also, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!" Walking up to Liao Li's side, Cheng Yang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You don't even know what to do, do you?" Back then, our General Liao, it was Lord Xie who personally entered Luoyang to persuade him to surrender, and at that time, our General Liao was still angry and wanted to fight with Lord Xie, saying that he would die together! Fortunately, General Zhang Dong, who was the chief general of the Luoyang Army at the time, stopped ......"

"And this?" The withered sheep looked at Liao Li in surprise, he really couldn't imagine that Liao Li, who was so steady now, had such a hot temper back then.

"Okay, okay, stay there!" Under the stunned gaze of the withered sheep, even Liao Li felt that his old face was dull, waved his hand and drove Cheng Yang away, and said angrily, "What are you doing about Chen Sesame and rotten grain?" ”

As if noticing the embarrassment in Liao Li's heart, whose old face was flushed, Cheng Yang glanced at the nearby generals, laughed triumphantly, and immediately went to eat meat by himself.

"I don't know where I heard it......" Looking at the back of Cheng Yang leaving, Liao Li gritted his teeth with some hatred. Just like Gou Gong, who is now following Xie An before and behind him, as his official position gets higher and higher, Liao Li cherishes his wings quite a lot, and naturally he is reluctant to have his old bottom turned out, or in front of young generals such as Withered Sheep and Xu Chang who admire him very much.

"Don't pay attention to that guy, this cow ......" Licking his lips, Liao Li lowered his voice and said, "Actually, in fact, I also had some opinions about this title at first, why can Lao Fei and Lao Ma get a domineering and majestic name, but when it comes to me, it becomes a grazing animal?" However, at that time, Master Xie persuaded me......"

"Brother-in-law?" The withered sheep showed a little surprise on his face, and subconsciously asked, "What did my brother-in-law say?" ”

I saw Liao Li raise his head and reminisce, and said in Xie An's tone, "Cow? It's good, it's a pretty ferocious beast......"

"Poof-" Xu Chang, who was drinking water, heard this sentence unexpectedly, and a mouthful of water squirted out. Originally, he happened to spray Liao Li's face, but Liao Li didn't know that his intuition was too strong, and the whole person was slightly to the right, so that Xu Chang's mouthful of water didn't touch him at all.

"Isn't that right?" Liao Li looked at the strange-looking withered sheep and Xu Chang suspiciously.

Glancing at Xu Chang, the withered sheep licked his lips and said with difficulty, "Cow...... It doesn't look like a ferocious beast, does it? - General Liao has never seen a cow? ”

"Of course I did!" Liao Li glanced at the withered sheep strangely.

However, the withered sheep still has a more strange look. Stunned, he said, "That's right." How can a docile beast like a cow be compared to a tiger wolf? ”

Liao Li laughed when he heard this, and said, "What you are talking about is just a kind of docile bull, according to adults, there is also an extremely aggressive and ruthless bullfighting in this world, I am afraid that the tiger and wolf may not be able to subdue it!" ”

"Bullfighting?" The withered sheep tilted his head and thought about it. said suspiciously, "It can't be that my brother-in-law is troublesome and makes it up, right?" ”

"How is that possible!" Liao Li was immediately anxious when he heard this, and he was deeply grateful to An for knowing and promoting him, but he couldn't allow others to say that Xie An was not, if it weren't for the withered sheep being Xie An's brother-in-law, I'm afraid he would have turned his face long ago.

"Good, good. Let's not mention bullfighting, take ordinary cattle as an example, have you ever seen any so-called tiger dare to rush at the bull head-on? ”

[What kind of rhetoric is that?] ]

The withered sheep was stunned and speechless.

"Didn't you?" Seeing that the withered sheep was speechless, Liao Li said quite proudly, "Ah." Even the tiger did not dare to rush at the ox head-on, and if the beast dared to do so, the next breath would be pierced by the sharp horns of the ox! As he spoke, he paused and said with a faintly condescending tone. Master Xie once said that if a cow does not eat grass, it eats meat. The ferocity is definitely above the tiger wolf! ”

It may be that his voice was a little loud, so that the nearby generals of the Jizhou Army invariably turned their heads and savored Liao Li's words.

"Like...... Makes sense? A Jizhou soldier touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

As soon as the words fell, I saw another soldier scolding in a low voice, "Nonsense! What Master Xie said will be false? ”

"Hmm......"

"Cow ...... If it's full of sharp teeth, and with its sharp corners......"

It may be that they are really idle, and the soldiers of the nearby Jizhou Army actually carefully deliberated and discussed. During this period, another soldier told the true story of a cow attacking people after being provoked, which proved from the side that Liao Li's concept did have a certain truth for him.

It's no wonder, after all, the strength of the ox is greater than that of the tiger, and there is also a pair of sharp horns, with the help of the charge to open the intestines and break the belly, otherwise there is a famous general in history who came up with a trick of the fire ox array to solve the crisis of the soldiers coming to the city?

Looking at that group of people, the withered sheep really couldn't cry or laugh.

[What is this?] Just now he said that the cow was just a docile beast, but as soon as he mentioned that this was said by his brother-in-law, the cow suddenly became a beast more ferocious than the tiger wolf? ]

However, after glancing at Liao Li, who was full of piety, the withered sheep wisely closed his mouth.

However, it is undeniable that Xie An's words have also affected him to a certain extent.

[If cattle are carnivorous and not grass-eating...... Is it? It seems to make some sense......]

After thinking about it, Liao Li found with some tears and laughter that even he seemed to be faintly convinced.

"It's really impossible to refute...... Brother-in-law's crooked reasoning! ”

The withered sheep shook his head with a smile.

……

……

"It's terrible, if the cow is a carnivorous beast and not a herbivorous animal......"

Muttering to himself, the withered sheep looked at Liao Li, who was holding the head of the Northern Xinjiang general in the distance, with a moving face.

Just a face-to-face effort, Zhang Wang's two thousand Yuyang iron cavalry were defeated, and even Zhang Wang himself was killed by Liao Li, the powerful force of the Jizhou army made the withered sheep secretly shocked in his heart.

You must know that this is the Third Army of the Jizhou Army, and it is only a very small part of the 10,000-person division of the Jizhou Army......

[No!] It's not that the Jizhou army is stronger than the Yuyang Iron Cavalry, but ......]

The eyes of the withered sheep subconsciously looked at Liao Li not far away, he knew very well that if it weren't for this peerless fierce general this time, he would never be able to completely defeat the two thousand Yuyang Iron Cavalry of Zhang Wang, at least it would never be so easy to win.

At the same time, Liao Li casually threw Zhang Wang's head to a Jizhou army cavalryman, and said coldly, "Don't pay attention to the defeated soldiers, the target we are waiting for, but that big fish!" ”

"Oh oh - " Nearly 2,000 Jizhou cavalry raised their arms and shouted in unison, as the so-called soldiers are brave, generals are the soul of soldiers, following Liao Li, a peerless fierce general who is gradually showing his talents, I believe that even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan, all the Jizhou soldiers are not afraid.

"Chase!"

"Oh-oh-"

Leaving behind the more than 1,000 Yuyang Iron Cavalry detachments that were at a loss because they lost their main generals and lost the battle, or even the four routs, Liao Li led the original team that had almost no losses. Quickly move forward to catch up with Youdou's army.

"These people...... Just let them go? On the side of the withered sheep, Xu Chang muttered secretly while driving the war horse.

Yes. If it was Liao Li in the past, he would definitely kill all these defeated Yuyang Iron Cavalry before he thought of chasing Youdou, but at that time, Youdou didn't know where to go. And now, Liao Li is willing to let go of this low-hanging fruit, it is undeniable that he has indeed changed a lot from Qi Zhi's incident, and he gradually began to focus on the overall situation. He is no longer obsessed with the details, and he must demand that he do everything to the best of his ability, which delays the fighter plane and makes mistakes.

At the same time, Youdou, one of the Five Tigers of Northern Xinjiang, seemed to be aware of the situation of the troops behind the palace, and his heart became more and more angry, he didn't expect it. Liao Li, who was just an unknown lieutenant general in his eyes, actually defeated his Yuyang Iron Cavalry detachment of 2,000 people in such a short period of time.

[What's going on?] How did you lose? The Jizhou soldiers are not proficient in riding and archery, but with the help of hand crossbows, and loading crossbow arrows when the war horse is galloping, this is not a simple matter......]

Youdou frowned slightly, and thought secretly in his heart. It seems that the lethality of this Liao Lijun is indeed extraordinary, with only two thousand Yuyang iron cavalry......

[Did I underestimate my opponent?] ]

A thought suddenly popped up in his mind, which made Youdou faintly unhappy. As Fei Guo and Liao Li said, because of their invincibility on the grassland in recent years, Yuyang Iron Cavalry has set its position quite high. To put it bluntly, Fang Cai Youdou sent out two thousand Yuyang Iron Cavalry to deal with Liao Li. This is already quite worthy of Liao Li's approach. He originally thought that the two thousand Yuyang iron cavalry would be able to defeat Liao Li's army, and at least he would repel it, but in less than half a pillar of incense, Liao Lijun's cavalry team of two thousand people actually followed.

And what made Youdou feel extremely incredible was that Liao Lijun, who had caught up again, had almost no reduction in troops.

What does this mean?

Youdou's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

In his opinion, if Liao Li just shook off the pursuers behind him like Ma Dan shook off Xiao Huo before, it would be fine, but if it was...... But if this cavalry defeated the two thousand Yuyang iron cavalry on its side, and it was in such a short period of time......

[Impossible!] The strength of the Jizhou Army is absolutely impossible to be strong enough to surpass our Yuyang Iron Cavalry......]

"General...... Is it? As if he had figured something out, Yooto muttered to himself.

Thinking about it, although Youdou has a fiery personality, it is undeniable that he is very talented in leading the cavalry, otherwise, Li Mao, the king of Yan, would not appoint him as the deputy commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and take over the entire army in his Li Mao's absence.

No, after thinking about it carefully, You Dou realized the most critical reason why the Jizhou army was able to defeat his two thousand Yuyang Iron Cavalry detachment.

The gap between the generals!

[That Liao Li...... It's no ordinary person! ]

Leaving all his previous contempt and disdain behind, Youdou secretly told himself.

"All the troops are reined in!"

Youdou shouted, and the 18,000 Yuyang Iron Horsemen, who were galloping, quickly slowed down, and then stopped their horses. During this period, it was only more than ten breaths of work before and after, and it can be imagined that Yuyang Iron Riding has solid basic riding skills.

At the same time, Liao Li also ordered the whole army to rein in their horses, and from a position of about three hundred zhang, they watched from afar at the Yuyang Iron Cavalry that had stopped for some reason in front of them.

Through comparison, it can be seen that although the cavalry of the Jizhou Army led by Liao Li performed very well in the battle, they were obviously inferior to the Yuyang Iron Cavalry in terms of riding skills. It's no wonder, after all, the Yuyang Iron Cavalry is the Great Zhou Zhiqiang Iron Cavalry that defeated the grassland tribe, a nation on horseback.

If it weren't for the fact that the Eastern Army had the name of Yanhu Ji to support the scene, otherwise, on the grassland, the Eastern Army would definitely not be as deterrent as the Yuyang Iron Cavalry.

"Tide! The general on the other side is Liao Li of the Jizhou Army?! ”

Riding his horse to the rear of his own brigade, You Dou shouted in the direction of Liao Li.

Seeing this, the withered sheep frowned and said to Liao Li, "General, that guy seems to want to talk to you." ”

"Hey!" Liao Li smiled when he heard this, and ordered in a low voice, "Order the whole army to prepare for retreat, and I will meet him!" ”

"Order!"

Ordering the withered sheep, Liao Li took a few steps forward and shouted, "What's the matter?" ”

[Is that Liao Li?] ]

Far away, You Dou carefully looked at Liao Li a few times, and suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "General Ben has no grievances with your army, why do you frequently harass our army?" ”

"It's funny!" Liao Li sneered and reprimanded mercilessly, "Li Mao, the king of Yan, led his troops south to attack the capital of my Great Zhou Kingdom, intending to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne, and the wolf's ambition is obvious!" ――You are the army under the command of the traitor Li Mao, and this general is the general of the Jizhou army, the king of Beijing, how can you sit back and watch you leave from under the nose of this general? Naturally, he did his best to cut off the wings around the traitor Wang Mao! ”

"How daring!" Seeing Liao Li's disrespectful words, You Dou was furious in his heart, gritted his teeth and scolded, "What a thief, how arrogant he is!" Do you really think that with your only 2,000 men and horses, you can cut off my 20,000 Yuyang Iron Horsemen? ”

"Ah, that's what Liao thinks!" The corners of his mouth raised a sneer, and Liao Li said lightly, "Didn't Fang just eat your Excellency's two thousand fine horses?" Let General Ben do the math...... Ah, look at this day, it's not half a day before and after, so to speak, as long as ten and a half days, that is, five days, this general can ride you 20,000 Yuyang iron...... Eat them all! In the last four words, Liao Li's face suddenly sank, and he said categorically in an extremely cold tone.

"Is there ...... That's right! Even though Youdou's temperament has changed a lot in the past few years, he was also angry by Liao Li's words, and laughed angrily, "Good, good, good!" -- General Ben wants to see how you eat me with only 2,000 cavalry! ”

As he spoke, the spear in his hand pointed at Liao Li, gritted his teeth and scolded, "Punish Liao Li first, and then kill Ma Dan!" ――Even if you chase to the ends of the earth, you have to cut these two fangs with a thousand knives! ”

"Oh-oh!" Nearly 18,000 Yuyang Iron Knights raised their arms and shouted, and then turned around and rushed towards Liao Lijun.

At this time, Liao Li had already given the order to withdraw his troops, and while shaking the reins of his horse and screaming to run under his crotch, he turned his head to look at Youdou, who had obviously been angered by him.

"Let's chase...... I'm not afraid that you will chase, I am afraid that you will not chase! - Let's go! ”

"Oh-"
