At night, Sun Lei sat in the tent and enjoyed the night view. The ancient sky without light pollution and various factories was very clear, and the bright Milky Way was mesmerizing.
"Brother, the cultivator is here!"
Li Zhu said in a low voice that a "fire dragon" came slowly from the lower reaches of the Fen River, with more than 20,000 people.
"As expected, a veteran on the battlefield is a veteran on the battlefield."
Sun Lei looked at the enemies coming slowly. Zhong Shidao's delay in arriving was because he was guarding himself, and Yang Keshi was a bait.
Lu Zhishen looked at the enemy slowly approaching with complicated eyes. Yang Keshi's call of traitor yesterday made him panic. When he joined the army, they were all Paoze brothers who fought together in bloody battles, but now they are called traitors.
"Let's go, General Zhong is here, let's go meet him!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"It's better to attack the camp in the middle of the night!"
Yue Fei had a sudden idea.
"Then come over and have a look. You might as well give me a greeting gift!"
Sun Lei laughed and said.
In Taiyuan City, Tian Bao's face was so dark that he almost turned into a pot. Yang Keshi had already made him unable to resist. Now Zhongshi Dao has also arrived. How can he defend Taiyuan City again?
"Sun Lei, you shameless thing! You're full of lies and you don't do anything for money!"
Tian Bao roared in the direction of Sun Lei's camp. If Sun Lei hadn't deliberately avoided the battle, he wouldn't have been in such difficulty.
But just after Tian Bao finished roaring, there seemed to be movement in Sun Lei's camp. This frightened Tian Bao and others so much that they hurriedly hid behind the female wall.
"Why is Sun Lei out? What is he going to do in this dark place?"
Tian Bao peeked in the direction of Sun Lei's camp. Although he was on the city, he couldn't see clearly. Sun Lei didn't even light the torch when he left the camp, so he obviously didn't have good intentions.
"Second King, is this Sun Lei trying to deal with us?"
Zhang Xiong looked at Tian Bao and said, "Now Zhongshi Dao has also brought people to kill. There are 30,000 Western troops, and Sun Lei only has 10,000 people. How can he resist it?" It’s not surprising that he wants to go to the city now. Where can he be safer than the city?
"Command the army to guard the city for me and never let Sun Lei enter the city!"
Tian Bao immediately ordered to everyone around him.
"Second King, isn't this bad?"
Everyone hesitantly said, Sun Lei is a reinforcement after all. At this moment, Sun Lei's army is blocking the door. What if Sun Lei turns around and leaves?
"What's wrong! I just want Sun Lei to die!"
Tian Bao said with a gloomy face.
"Second King, don't worry, we will send more manpower right now!"
Zhang Xiong, Xiang Zhong, and Xu Yue said in unison that they did not want Sun Lei to lead troops into the city.
Sun Lei knew nothing about all this and led the army to the vicinity of the Western Army's camp.
"Look, why is this a night attack?"
Sun Lei pointed at the huge bonfires outside the Western Army camp. The firelight directly illuminated an area of one or two miles around the camp.
Yue Fei could only stare. The enemy seemed to have been prepared for their sneak attacks at night. With the fire, no one could sneak up to the camp.
"Light the torch!"
Seeing that he couldn't make a sneak attack, Sun Lei stopped worrying and asked the soldiers to light up the torches.
"enemy!"
Immediately, shouts and gongs and drums came from the Western Army camp.
The army gathered quickly, and the white-haired Master Zhong led the army out of the camp.
"I've seen General Zhong!"
Sun Lei laughed and cupped his fists at Zhongshi Dao.
"Are you Sun Lei from Liangshanbo?"
Zhong Shidao looked at Sun Lei. He had been in the army for many years and had seen many tough bandits, but this was the first time he had seen Sun Lei like this.
"It's Xiaoke!"
Sun Lei nodded and smiled.
"Where's Ruda?"
Zhong Shidao did not look at Sun Lei anymore, but looked at the opposite army. Looking at the armor of the Forbidden Army, Zhong Shidao sighed. The Western Army had never obtained such good armor after so many years of bloody fighting.
"Handsome!"
Lu Zhishen rode out of the battle and faced Master Zhong with a clasping fist.
"I know everything about you. You are too impulsive. If you commit a crime, you should be punished by the law. You actually went to Luocao?"
Zhong Shidao looked at Lu Zhishen and lectured him like an elder.
"Old General Zhong, you can't say that! Right or wrong, if you don't even have a bloody spirit as a general, what else can you achieve?"
Sun Lei looked at Master Zhong with a smile. Lu Zhishen lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
Zhong Shidao can definitely be regarded as a famous general, but he is much inferior to other people in the same period. Not to mention Zongze's rapid rise, the brilliance of juniors such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, and Wu Jie can also be overshadowed. Pass him.
But this is not because of lack of ability as a teacher, but because he is too rigid and does not know how to adapt. After all, Zhongshi is a scholar who enters the martial arts. Although he comes from a military family, he always has the rigidity and pedantry of a scholar and lacks the impulsiveness and determination of a military general.
Just like when Tong Guan conquered the Liao Dynasty, the emperor ordered not to kill the northerners without permission. Zhongshi Dao was restricted in everything in Baigou. He was entangled in whether to fight or not to fight, and he did not dare to accept the orders of the foreign emperor at all. This was an advantage and a disadvantage.
"Ruda has a sharp tongue and a straightforward personality. I'm afraid it was you who deceived Ruda!"
Zhong Shidao looked at Sun Lei coldly and said, as if Sun Lei had tricked an honest student from his family into joining the underworld.
"Commander Zhong, don't blame me as a brother. I'm not suitable for the army, and I can't be involved in official circles. On the contrary, I am most content to hang out with my brothers!"
Lu Zhishen suddenly spoke. At this moment, his eyes were firm and he no longer had the hesitation he had before.
"you!"
Master Zhong's face changed slightly. The military laws in his army were strict, and his generals and soldiers never dared to contradict him!
"Commander Zhong, I am the one who beats Zheng Tu to death in the street! Pleasure and revenge are what I want. Whether it is the rules of the army or the concerns of being an official, they are not what I want!"
Lu Zhishen said loudly that he was still indignant when he first killed Zheng Tu. He couldn't suppress the anger in his chest, so he ran straight to the street and punched him to death three times.
But later, when he was hiding in Tibet and had no way out, Lu Zhishen realized that the moment he killed Zheng Tu was his true self, and that was what he wanted to do and what he should do.
Zhong Shidao looked at Lu Zhishen with an angry look on his face. He originally wanted to persuade Lu Zhishen to abandon the dark side and join the bright side, but now he realized that Lu Zhishen was determined to fall into the trap.
"Old General Zhong, I brought my troops here just to help a group of Tian Hus. I have a covenant with him! This Zhao Ji knows best, and the covenant must be kept!"
Sun Lei said with a smile, even when he declared peace and conquered Liao, Zhao Ji still thought about the alliance with the Liao Kingdom, which prohibited the expedition troops from killing Liao people or their cavalry, and focused on persuading them to surrender. Such a stupid emperor can be regarded as a piece of cake for the ages.
"But when I came to Hedong, I realized that Tian Hute was no longer a thing. He revolted and killed innocent people indiscriminately, making the people of Hedong miserable. I couldn't stand it any longer. If General Zhong wants to kill him, he will be killed, and I will treat him as such. If you don’t see me, just pretend I haven’t been here.”
Sun Lei rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
"Do you think I will believe you?"
Zhong Shidao looked at Sun Lei coldly. When he wiped out Tian Hu, he also knew other giant bandits. Wang Qing and Tian Hu were as eager to expand their territory; Fang La was the most ruthless and massacred in Jiangnan.
Each of these three parties has hundreds of thousands of troops, occupying several state capitals and dozens of counties. But in his eyes, these three parties are just clowns and not something to be afraid of.
Only Sun Lei is not in a hurry to expand, but trains troops and nourishes the people. This is the real big trouble.
"What I said is true. You go kill Tian Hu, I will stay here and I will never take action!"
Sun Lei looked at Zhong Shidao and said sincerely.
"Take your life!"
Zhong Shidao waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him lined up with shields to charge. (End of chapter)
