Chapter 311: Cowardly Tiger

When the man arrived at the edge of the dense forest where Yu Ren and the others were hiding, he suddenly threw off his horse and rushed into the forest. Yu Ren saw very clearly by the moonlight that the person who came galloping was Li Xianzhong.

Li Xianzhong dismounted, and more than ten horsemen who followed him arrived closely. When these people saw that Li Xianzhong was about to enter the forest, they all hurriedly dismounted and chased after the forest.

Yu Ren pulled Lu Yue and quietly followed behind them.

This Li Xianzhong was probably too flustered, and he didn't run far before he was thrown by a tree vine. More than a dozen people rushed up after him and surrounded him.

These more than ten people are all Huang Yudie's subordinates, and the leader is Sun Youcai, who had contact with Yu Ren in Taizhou.

Li Xianzhong saw that he was in a desperate situation, and he could no longer maintain the arrogance and invincibility of his former second lord. Hurriedly threw down the long sword in his hand, knelt on the ground and rescued Sun Youcai.

"The king spares his life, the king spares his life!"

Sun Youcai walked in front of Li Xianzhong, and he didn't expect that this grandson, who is said to be the first general of the Ming Dynasty, was so spineless. However, this is also good, but it saves him a lot of trouble.

"You want to live, but you don't want to. Just answer me a few questions. Sun Youcai stepped on Li Xianzhong's shoulder, with a pestle in his hand, and said casually.

"The king, please say, you must know everything and say everything." Li Xianzhong's face was charming, and Yu Ren, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but want to rush up and slap him. But he must be rational after all, and he still tries his best to control this impulse.

Sun Youcai squinted at him. "I'll ask you. Do you really have 5,000 men? ”

Li Xianzhong hurriedly shook his head. "Nope. That's a big thing I just said. We only have these five hundred. ”

Sun Youcai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a hint of pride. "I'll just say it! How could the Ming Dynasty gather 5,000 cavalry to aid Yanzhou so quickly. In the great battle outside the gate just now, they were wiped out by the Jurchens with more than 100,000 people, and most of the country's elite cavalry were wiped out in that battle.

Sure enough, it's your kid who bluffs.

Good! In this case, you can tell me in detail how you learned that Yanzhou was besieged, how you rushed to help, and who you met on the way! If I am satisfied, maybe I will let you live, if you have half a sentence to hide, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

As he spoke, Sun Youcai let go of Li Xianzhong's shoulder, took out a single knife, and wiped the blood stains on the soles of his feet.

Li Xianzhong hurriedly pounded his head like garlic, "Yes." The villain must not dare to hide it.

I got the news of the rebellion in Shandong about half a month ago. Ten days ago, I heard the news of the siege of Yanzhou from the mouth of a canal merchant.

After my father was convicted in the Battle of Sarhu, the whole family split into two groups, one group moved to Korea, and the other group moved to Hejian. Our family is one of the people who moved to Hejian Nanpi.

At that time, when I heard that Yanzhou City was under siege, I immediately gathered the children of the whole clan and prepared to rush to help. ”

Li Xianzhong had just said this, and Sun Youcai interrupted him.

"As far as I know. Your Li family has been very peaceful since your father Li Rubai committed suicide, and never paid attention to the rights and wrongs of the court. Why did you act so positively this time? ”

When Li Xianzhong heard this, his face turned red. These words obviously touched his sore spot, but he answered honestly.

"To tell you the truth, my father had a good relationship with King Lu in his early years before he was convicted. My father had intended for me to marry King Lu's only daughter, Lord Mochizuki, and King Lu was also interested in marrying Lord Mochizuki to me. It was only later that my father was convicted, and the matter was put on hold, and no one mentioned it again.

However, the villain always has such an infatuation in his heart, and wants to marry the county lord of Mochizuki into our Li family. Therefore, the villain took this opportunity to behave in front of King Lu. In the hope of getting the heart of Lord Mochizuki. ”

Sun Youcai smiled slightly, "It turns out that your kid still has such a toad that wants to eat swan meat, but don't you feel that you are a little too self-conscious?" With your mere force of 500 men, you want to defeat 200,000 of us? ”

Li Xianzhong hurriedly nodded, "What the king said is true. It's just that I didn't think so at the time. I think that although your team is large, you don't have much combat experience, and your combat effectiveness is not strong. My five hundred men are all cavalry. With these 500 cavalry, it may not be realistic for me to defeat you, but it is not a problem to rush into Yanzhou City.

As long as I can rush into Yanzhou City with these people, King Nalu will definitely be impressed by me, and there is hope for me and the Lord of Mochizuki. ”

"However, have you ever thought that even if you rush into Yanzhou City like this, you can stop us from breaking the city? When we break through the city, won't all your hopes still be in vain? Or take a little life of your own in it? Sun Youcai asked.

"Well, I'm not too worried. Because before I set off, I met a person. With this person coming out, I believe that the siege of Yanzhou City will definitely be solved. Li Xianzhong said.

"Oh! Who? When Sun Youcai heard this, he hurriedly asked.

"Yang Zhaoji! The imperial court has appointed General Yang as the commander-in-chief of Shandong, responsible for the suppression of the rebellion in Shandong. ”

"Yang Zhaoji? Is it Yang Zhaoji, who was formerly the chief soldier of Datong? Sun Youcai asked.

"Exactly. I heard that this person has always been very good at fighting, and even those fierce Mongols outside the pass are also afraid of him. He is also one of the few commanders left in the Wanli Dynasty. It is precisely because of his appearance that I dare to rush to Yanzhou with confidence. Li Xianzhong said.

"Tell me how you met this person?"

"I met him at noon today. At that time, I took my five hundred tribesmen with me, and I was still hesitating to continue south. happened to meet Mr. Yang. At that time, he only brought fifty or sixty followers, saying that he was going to Jinan to take up his post and prepare for the pacification of the rebellion in Shandong.

When he heard that my father was Li Rubai, he strongly invited me to go with him. The heralded eunuchs who were with him at that time also strongly invited me to go with them. However, on the grounds that the war situation in Yanzhou was urgent, I took people away first. It was precisely because I saw him that I dared to go south to Yanzhou with confidence. ”

Sun Youcai didn't wait for Li Xianzhong to finish speaking, and then asked, "You said that Yang Zhaoji only brought fifty or sixty personal soldiers with him?" Don't have an army? ”

"Yes, there are only fifty or sixty of them." Li Xianzhong affirmed.

"Where did you meet them?" When Sun Decai heard this, his eyes flashed with excitement.

"It's ......" Li Xianzhong was about to say, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him, "Shut up!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and at the same time looked behind them, and saw that Yu Ren had already drawn his sword and stood side by side with Lu Yue behind them.

"Is that you?" Sun Youcai was taken aback. "Brother Yu is really brave, it's time for him, don't run for his life quickly, but he has to come forward to save this soft bone!"

Sun Youcai quietly clenched the single knife in his hand while speaking. Yu Ren's outstretched hand, he has seen it more than once. He knew too well the strength of his opponent that he couldn't resist it at all, especially when he broke out on the battlefield, it was simply terrifying like death. The long war knife in his hand was like an indestructible artifact, and no one could stop him wherever he went.

In this breakout battle, Sun Youcai personally watched his brothers die under their swords, and there were no less than dozens of people, many of whom were masters of their own kung fu.

What's more, there is a little witch by his side who is even more terrifying than him.

Although Sun Youcai was afraid, he also knew that the task this time was very important. Especially the thing about Li Zhaoji that Li Xianzhong revealed. If they can find out the whereabouts of this Li Zhaoji, and send a team of 100 people before he arrives in office, they may be able to kill this newly arrived Shandong general soldier. With the beheading action that Yu Ren taught him last time, Sun Youcai deeply realized the significance of this incident for the entire Shandong war situation.

For their Smelling Fragrance Sect, this matter can be said to be a major matter of survival. Therefore, although Sun Youcai was afraid of Yu Ren, he still raised his courage and was determined to take Li Xianzhong away from Yu Ren's hands.

Yu Ren glanced at Sun Youcai and the more than ten of them. These people were probably also afraid of Yu Ren's might, and they all held their knives tightly, but they retreated behind Sun Youcai.

"Brother Sun. You and I are destined, and the friendship of fighting side by side in Taizhou at the beginning, I Yu Ren has not forgotten. But now you and I are our own masters. I can't show favoritism. As long as Brother Sun and your brothers throw down their weapons and surrender, I promise to spare you your lives, how about it? ”
