Volume 4 Chapter 59 The two heroes fight under the green jujube city
At dusk on the second day, Li Yao finally waited for Zhu Gang.
Although Zhu Gang was attacked by Li Yao like this yesterday, which was a bit embarrassing, he had absolute prestige in the army, and no subordinates disobeyed him.
Li Yao's army has gained the psychological upper hand since yesterday's battle, Zhu Gang looked up at Li Yao on the city tower calmly, Li Yao persuaded: "Brother Zhu Gang, I advise you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, lest you die and become a thief!"
Zhu Gang responded: "Brother Li, I also want to be a hero." But if a hero is not a hero, isn't it the winner who has the final say? What kind of anti-thief infamy, that's all false, anyway, it's not yet determined! As for me, I have guarded the boundaries for the imperial court for all these years, and I have never heard that the imperial court is going to add an official to me, and I will be a marquis or something, and my brother is very depressed in my heart!"
Li Yao said: "If you rebel because of this, then you are a big fool! Now that several state generals are ready to return to their hometowns, it is entirely possible for the imperial court to promote you famous border generals, why are you so anxious to set up your own door? On the Xiongzhen side, is it better to fight and kill and kill?"
Zhu Gang said: "This is the border fortress that the imperial court attaches great importance to, and what is my Tibetan border! Besides, there is no one in the imperial court, who knows him, and who promotes him? I am afraid that it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month, so it is better to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing!"
Li Yao felt between the lines of Zhu Gang's words that his determination to rebel and his long-standing resentment couldn't help sighing: "Brother Zhu Gang, if it is usual, we can still be brothers, I think I and you seem to be a little familiar." ”
"Me too. Zhu Gang grinned: "Zhu Gang admired the demeanor of my brother yesterday! It's a pity that we live for each of us today, so it's inconvenient to talk sweetly and disgust everyone! I have heard for a long time that my brother's sword skills are outstanding, I don't know if I can learn from my brother today?"
Li Yao's tense heart finally relaxed, it seems that this Zhu Gang is also a calm master, otherwise if Zhu Gang leads the forces superior to his own to attack, I don't know how many people will die today. Li Yao knew that he had no way out, he received a military order from Xiao Limin, and he could delay it for a day.
For the generals, only execution.
"Fetch me a knife!" Li Yao took his long knife, turned and went downstairs, turned on his horse, and went out of the city with eight guards.
Zhu Gang saw Li Yao in a white robe again, and couldn't help but be surprised, and said to himself: "It's a pity that this life is not at the right time!"
Li wanted to approach Zhu Gang and shouted, "Zhu Gang, do you want to fight?"
Only then did Zhu Gang recover from his stunned thoughts, and when he lifted the double axe, his stomach and face trembled, and he drove with a bang! Zhu Gang greeted him and said, "I'm older than you, let you make a move!"
Li Yao's eyes showed a cold light and said: "Then the old brother is welcome!"
Li wanted to run to, waved the long knife with one hand and swept towards Zhu Gang, although Zhu Gang was fat, his body was very flexible, the whole person was lying flat on the back of the horse, with two axes against his chest, Li Yao's long knife slipped against Zhu Gang's axe body, and quickly stood up, Li Yao didn't expect that this Zhu Gang really had a hand, and the action was so fast.
Thinking about it, Zhu Gang's body type, if he takes the initiative to make a move, it is easy for the enemy to see the flaws, but now he is looking at the gap and has a counterattack, Li Yao naturally has no time to see his flaws.
Sure enough, he is a veteran of a hundred battles!
Zhu Gang's double axe split, Li wanted to close the knife to block, this force, startled Li to sit down on the fine war horse, the horse hooves, Li to separate, and then strangled the reins, at this time Zhu Gang took advantage of the momentum to make a comeback, the body was ahead, and the axe on the right hand side of the axe was chopped down towards Li Yao, Li wanted to raise the knife in a panic to block, and the horse left. Because at this time, the war horse under Li Yao's seat has lost its soul, and if he doesn't go, he is afraid that if he continues to stalemate, Li Yao will be defeated by his own mount.
Zhu Gang's face was tightened, he clenched his axes, and slapped his horse to chase Li Yao. Li Yao glanced at his head, the long knife mopped the ground, tightened the reins, and the front hooves of the war horse under the seat were exhausted, at this time Zhu Gang's double axe had arrived, Li wanted the long knife to turn his back, and with a clang, the double axe hit the knife shaft, although Li Yao's back also suffered some force, fortunately, there was no external injury.
Said that it was too late and that was fast, Li Yao went to the left side, the long knife had moved along the right side to the abdomen, and then stabbed out from the left side with Li Yao sideways, at this time Zhu Gang's half body was on the right side of Li Yao's body, and suddenly saw the blade coming from the left, and fell down to the right, with two axes on the ground, Li Yao did not succeed in this knife, and he had no will to fight, turned around and stabilized the war horse, and rushed back to the city.
Zhu just wanted to chase again, but when he saw Li Yao's eight personal guards and swordsmen stopped in front of the city gate, Zhu Gang also stopped.
At this time, Zhu Gang was not far from the city, looking up at the soldiers guarding the city on the city tower, although Li Yao was defeated, their faces did not fluctuate at all, but they were also calm.
Although Zhu Gang is already within the range of these people, since ancient times, the main generals of the two armies on the battlefield have faced each other, and neither the enemy nor the enemy can hurt people with hidden arrows, this is the rule.
After Li wanted to return to the city, he immediately dismounted, this horse had been with him for five years, although he had not been on the battlefield, but Li Yao felt that it should not be like this. Last night's first try, this old horse's performance was very majestic, why is it so unbearable today?
The two sergeants hurriedly came up to check, only to find that the soles of the horse's feet were sunk into a fast ironclad, and there were no other signs of bleeding except for some dried blood around the soles of the feet.
Li wanted to caress the neck of the old horse in distress, and the sergeants present were all moved. The old horse rubbed against Li Yao's cheek, as if apologizing.
Li Yao sighed lightly, in such an environment, ordinary people would be a little disappointed when they encountered such things. In the past, Li Yao had unlimited scenery and a bright future, and even had a far-reaching reputation. In the past 20 years of Qingzhou City's wealth, how many young talents, in this army, there is only Li Yao, who is famous for martial arts and has become a beautiful man admired by everyone in Qingzhou City.
It's a pity that Li Yao didn't care, he once had a wife, and after leaving a son to Li Yao, he died of asthma, and since then, Li Yao has never married a partial house.
Li Yao's life can be vigorous, can leave countless romantic affairs, or it can be plain, he chose the latter.
Outside Qingzao City, as the sun set, Zhu Gang led the army and walked slowly towards his military camp. In his rough body, there is a delicate heart. He also has a conscience, it's one thing for him to do good, it's another thing to do good, he doesn't want to enter Qingjube City so early, and then the blood will flow like a river. There are so many Li people in the city, they can withdraw as many as they can, anyway, it is Li Yao, who is famous in this southwest military town, who is guarding Qingzao City, and Zhu Gang has reason to explain the reason.
Zhu Gang's clumsiness is the wisdom of life.
