In the backyard of the military fortress, Liao Jingwu was setting up a banquet, and he and several generals were all red-faced.
"Let me toast the general first!" Colonel Wang Delu was not in the county seat at this time, but was also in the military base. He drank a gulp first, and then asked: "General Liao, are we really not going to save General Li?"
"Who is going? Are you going?" Liao Jingwu stared.
Wang Delu shrank his neck and said with a sneer: "I don't know how to lead cavalry. If I encounter a large group of Liao cavalry, wouldn't that mean I'm going to die?"
"That's it! Just shut up if you don't dare to go!" Liao Jingwu drank the wine in his glass, spit out the smell of wine, and said: "The Duke of Southern Qi has nothing to do with us! These descendants of the Immortal Sect are just here.
Plate gold here, earn some fame, and eventually go back to where they came from. I don’t have many soldiers to begin with, and in the future this will be my capital. Who will I look for if I spend it all?"
A school lieutenant echoed: "What the general said is absolutely true! Now that we have achieved military success, why are we still working so hard? If you ask me, if we stay peacefully until winter, the Liao barbarians will naturally retreat and insist on going to war. If there is an encounter,
What should I do if I go to the Liaoman Brigade? They are really going to lose their heads! Besides, Sun Chaoen is not a fool. Quyang County can still defend it. As for those people outside the city, they will die if they die. The Liaoman will not retreat without some sweeteners.
.”
Wang Delu said nothing more. Although he also wanted to cling to Li Zhi, it was absolutely impossible for him to lead his own troops to attack.
Another captain said: "General, although the military pay from the imperial court has arrived, there is still a huge shortfall. What should we do?"
"How much is missing?"
"The actual amount is 30,000 taels. According to the old rules, you take half, and the officers take another half from the rest. The current military pay and pension arrears are 70,000 taels, and there is still a shortfall of more than 60,000 taels."
Liao Jingwu was a little irritated: "Go, go! Don't talk about this spoiler. What you did in the past is what you will do now! If you have some, you will be given first, and if you don't have enough, you will be owed first. Those who are causing trouble will be arrested, and the leader will be beheaded! Drink.
!”
The generals exchanged glasses and drank wine from noon to dusk.
After Wei Yuan and Li Zhi returned to Shayang Village, reinforcements from all walks of life arrived one after another. In the next few hours, people kept coming, and the farthest ones even came from two hundred miles away. Finally, in the small Shayang Village
A total of nine reinforcements were gathered, totaling more than 800 people. Li Zhi finally found his confidence.
It's just that Shayang Village is too small, and the reinforcements also have their own territory to defend, so after exchanging friendships, they dispersed. Those who were close to each other returned to their own defense areas, while those who were far away spent the night in Quyang County before leaving.
Shayang Village Ancestral Hall.
Wei Yuan was sitting with his upper body naked, and there were wound medicine, bandages, etc. beside him. Li Zhizheng was treating Wei Yuan's injuries with his own hands.
Wei Yuan was hit by three arrows. At that time, he simply used Taoist techniques to cut off the arrow shafts and continued fighting. After returning, he had to be treated. Many types of arrow branches in the Northern Liao Dynasty had serrated edges and could not be removed at will.
Wei Yuan's body lines are perfect, with a tiger's back and a wasp's waist, and his skin has a faint glow. There is no flaw in it, but the three long arrows inserted into his body are like three stains, which are particularly eye-catching.
Li Zhi first used his spiritual consciousness to detect the shape of the arrow's edge, and then used his magic power to change the shape of the arrow's edge, smoothing out the barb serrations. Then he held the exposed arrow shaft and used his magic power to separate the flesh and blood from the arrow's edge before he carefully
Pull out the arrow.
After the arrow was pulled out, a hole the size of a tea cup was left in Wei Yuan's body, and blood immediately poured out.
Li Zhi's other hand glowed with white light, so he had to apply a rejuvenation spell to the wound, and then add a healing charm special to the Four Saints Academy. With a two-pronged approach, this kind of flesh wound usually healed in two days.
Just when the rejuvenation spell was about to take effect, the blood flowing out of Wei Yuan's wound turned into light pink, like a ball of jelly, and actually squirmed back into the wound! Then Wei Yuan's muscles squirmed, sealing the wound.
A small light pink dot was left. After a while, the small dot disappeared.
Li Zhi silently used the rejuvenation technique and immediately started to pull out the remaining two arrowheads, not even dealing with the saw teeth. When both arrows were pulled out, the same blood flowed back, and the wounds closed on their own.
Li Zhi held the arrow and looked at it for a long time, but finally did not believe it. He stuck out his tongue and licked it, and then his mouth became numb, his head felt dizzy, his Taoji was dim, and his breath was weak. He quickly drank a big mouthful of it for himself.
Antidote, and then I recovered.
Li Zhi finally confirmed that the three arrows of Liaoman did not cut corners. Each one was poisoned, and even Daoji could not withstand it. Li Zhi himself was hit by an arrow, but the grade of his armor was too high, and the arrow was transparent
The back of the armor only scratched a little bit of skin, and when the armor penetrated, all the poison was removed by the armor itself, so Li Zhi didn't feel anything at the time. Now that he's trying to die and licked it, he knows how powerful Liao Man's poison is.
Li Zhi threw the arrow aside, put a robe on Wei Yuan, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Wei, how many body-refining holy medicines have you taken?"
Wei Yuan counted them one by one: "Puiyuan Pill, Blood Flower Pill, Bone Forging Pill, and Shenyun Pill."
The two experienced a bloody battle together, and their friendship was already extraordinary at this time. Wei Yuan had nothing to hide and told Li Zhi everything. However, Wei Yuan did not know what medicine the elder sister used for purification, and how long the purification process took.
Some of them are unclear and should not be explained to outsiders.
After hearing the name of the elixir, Li Zhi looked strange: "They are just ordinary elixirs that replenish spiritual energy and speed up progress. Is this all Brother Wei takes?"
Wei Yuan nodded.
Li Zhi stretched out a finger, touched the skin on Wei Yuan's back, and slowly slid it down. Feeling the touch of his fingertips, Li Zhi tried to input a little more mana, but all was bounced back.
Li Zhi sighed: "These ordinary elixirs have little help in improving the physical body. Brother Wei must have suffered a lot in the Taichu Palace. He can cultivate to this day all by himself. In fact, let alone the things prepared for me at home, just
The academy took out two handwritten books of saints to accompany me in my practice, and there was no shortage of various precious medicines to improve my physique. I was only eight feet tall at first, but I gradually grew to more than nine feet. But even with the help of external objects,
In terms of physical body, I am still far inferior to Brother Wei. My defeat at the hands of Brother Wei back then was truly unjust!"
Wei Yuan thought that Li Zhi would recruit him again, just like before, but after sighing with emotion, Li Zhi said: "Brother Wei is so talented now, he will soar to the sky no matter where he is, even if
The same is true in Taichu Palace. After all, Taichu Palace is an immortal sect. No matter how blind-sighted it was at the beginning, it will definitely give Brother Zuwei the qualifications he deserves now. I won't talk nonsense about transferring to the Four Saints Academy. But seeing Wei again
Brother, I do have an idea."
Li Zhi looked at Wei Yuan and said sincerely: "When Brother Wei has cast the Taoist foundation, according to the rules of Taichu Palace, it will be the time to make contributions. If we talk about meritorious deeds, the highest achievement is to expand the territory. I was lucky enough to take a step ahead in my practice and serve in the army.
After several years of experience, I now have some experience in opening up new territories. If Brother Wei is interested after he achieves Dao Ji, we can fight side by side, just like today!"
Wei Yuan also had a young mind, so his blood boiled with excitement and he said "Okay!"
"Then it's a deal!" Li Zhi reached out and gave Wei Yuan a high-five, which was considered an agreement.
This time fighting side by side, Wei Yuan has been observing Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was able to take the lead, and he could fight to the death in the face of strong enemies without fear. Wei Yuan was hit by three arrows, and Li Zhi was also hit by an arrow and was stabbed, and his injuries were serious. When reinforcements from the Northern Liao Dynasty appeared, Li Zhi was in danger.
In the chaos, Li Zhi made a prompt decision and retreated to Quyang County according to Wei Yuan's wishes. It could be seen during the military test that Li Zhi liked the art of war. Now ten years later, Li Zhi is no longer the kid who only talks about war on paper, but a real person.
Having led troops and fought bloody battles, his various performances have already taken the shape of a famous general.
But for some reason, Wei Yuan always felt that Li Zhi's battle was a little less interesting, but Wei Yuan couldn't tell where the difference was. After all, Wei Yuan's talent in the art of war was only displayed during the military test that year. In the following ten years,
I never had a chance to use it in cultivation, and it gradually fell into disuse.
At this time, Li Zhi imagined the days when the two of them would lead armies to conquer the east and west, killing endless enemy armies. He was so fascinated that he asked somewhat arrogantly: "Brother Wei, what do you think of me leading the troops?"
"I always feel that there is something wrong. It should be a lot better if it's me." Wei Yuan almost said this. Fortunately, he hadn't been in Tianqing Palace for a long time, so he just thought about it in his heart and didn't really think about it.
exit.
Wei Yuan thought for a moment, then said: "Brother Li can take the lead and remain calm in times of crisis. He is a famous general!"
Li Zhi was overjoyed, but at the same time a little shy, he quickly said: "Brother Wei, you are too complimentary! I only know the basics of military affairs."
Li Zhi didn't know that when Zhang Sheng taught Wei Yuan, it was called "comparable" in the history books, but it was still far from enough.
