Chapter 022 Don't Forget the Grace of Not Killing
If he could live well, who would rather die? After hearing Li Tianqu's words, An Renyi seemed to have no intention of executing himself immediately. He begged again: "Master Li, if it is not difficult to violate the military order, I am really unwilling to be an enemy of you. Now that I have been captured by the master, I have a life and death, and I have no complaints... But if I am forgiven and do not kill the great kindness, I am going to go through fire and water, and I am going to be a cow and horse, and I will be rewarded with great retribution. If I violate this oath, both man and god will be killed, and I will only be punished in the Avici Hell and will suffer endless suffering and will never be reborn!"
Although An Renyi has to pay back the blood debts of dozens of bandits in the village, compared with the Green Forest Revenge, to achieve hegemony, it is necessary to have a strong sense of recruiting talents. Otherwise, Guan Zhong, who had almost shot Duke Huan of Qi, used tricks to kill Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, Wei Zheng, who had assisted Li Jiancheng to suppress Li Shimin, and Yang Zaixing, who killed Yue Fei's younger brother Yue Fan,... countless wise ministers and generals were killed long before they could play their fists...
How much can An Renyi believe in his words of swearing?
Li Tianqu's face was no longer happy and angry, but he continued to stare at An Renyi with a cold expression. However, the biographical deeds of the other party in the official history have quickly appeared in his mind:
An Renyi, a member of Shatuo tribe, was indeed Qin Zongheng, the younger brother of Qin Zongquan, who first joined Qin Zongquan. Later, Qin Zongheng attacked Huainan, but was killed by his subordinates. An Renyi later surrendered to Yang Xingmi and captured Changzhou with the general Tian Fu to capture Sun Ru. He was also highly valued. Then, he responded to Tian Fu's rebellion and opposed Yang Xingmi and was better than Zhu Quanzhong...
An Renyi, who had never shown any sign of the Qin Zongquan army, turned to Yang Xingmi according to his original trajectory and was highly valued, but chose to betray his benefactor... However, the reason was to respond to his close friend Tian Feng, who had a deep friendship with him. In this way, it can be said that An Renyi values loyalty.
However, after An Renyi rebelled and failed to attack Changzhou, he had to retreat to Runzhou. When he fought with Wang Maozhang, the general of the Wu army who came to fight, An Renyi was trapped in the lonely city. According to historical records, "Every time he fought with Maozhang, he would hit him and then attack him. Therefore, the Wu army feared him and did not dare to advance."...
However, after defending Runzhou for more than a year, the Wu army finally dug tunnels and attacked the city walls and quickly occupied Runzhou. An Renyi had to lead his family and the remaining troops to retreat to the upper city tower. For a time, he could still shoot the enemy troops who dared to approach the city tower with his magic arrows without any slightest shooting. This shocked the Wu army soldiers and soldiers dared not step forward.
The generals of the Wu army cursed An Renyi with dirty words at the top of their throats. There was only one Wu army general called Li Decheng who did not echo the bad words and curse. Seeing this, An Renyi called him to climb the city tower, and Li Decheng really dared to be invited to negotiate. An Renyi then said to him: "Only you do not insult me, I will give you my concubine today, and my head on my neck is also regarded as a gift for making achievements, and I will also give it to you."...
Then An Renyi threw away the bow and arrow, was tied up, and was eventually killed. Judging from his life, An Renyi wanted to do his best to be brothers and sisters. Even if he did not say that "treat me with a national hero, I will repay him with a national hero", he was still very emotional. He also took the grace of others seriously. It seemed that he was not untrustworthy and treated the words of swearing and swearing as a non-righteous villain who farted.
But Li Tianqu would not believe that An Renyi would keep his promises so that he was completely unaffected by the current situation. Even if he was not willing to work hard for Qin Zongquan to the end. He led more than a hundred thieves and could only struggle to survive under the encirclement of Qin Zongquan's anti-army. Under such circumstances, how could An Renyi bow down to his will?
After thinking about it, Li Tianqu drove forward and helped An Renyi up, and said in a deep voice: "I can't loosen your ties at the moment. I need your guidance to avoid the anti-military forces burned, killed and looted everywhere around. So you must remember: your life is still under my control. If we are bound to be killed by Qin Zongquan's troops, you will still be the first to die. For the court officials, officials, the vassal commanders, and even the rebel leaders such as Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan, we are just thieves who are incompetent, and now we are also a clay Buddha crossing the river, and we cannot protect ourselves... We have to escort you and set off on the road.
Since you say that serving Qin Zongquan is a must, as long as we can get rid of the interception of the anti-military forces of the many troops... I will not only not kill you, but also give you the opportunity to serve another wise master. And when you confirm that we can really survive in a dangerous situation, there is also the opportunity to make a name for ourselves in this world, don’t forget the oath you made by my grace of not killing.”
After listening to Li Tianqu's words in a daze, An Renyi became increasingly aware that the lord of the Green Forest Mountain Village in front of him was unfathomable and extremely short-sighted thieves. This also made An Renyi think again: It seems that Li Tianqu was still fleeing alone in this deep mountain ridge, but he was able to attract all the bandits of Lugang to follow him sincerely, and even defeated me with a small number of attacks... If he could really compete with the court and gain fame, how great can Li Tianqu achieve in the future?
In any case, since Li Tianqu was willing to leave his life for a while, An Renyi would even claim his kindness as a reward. He also heard Li Tianqu analyze the pros and cons, and Zhang Hu and other thieves temporarily suppressed their murderous intention towards An Renyi.
What is certain now is that within one or two days, there will be more powerful anti-army attacks. Li Tianqu immediately ordered Zhang Hu, Jie Qing and others to wait for the minions to pack up the military equipment, wealth, food, and other supplies in the village. Then he set off a few fires in the village and set off on his way.
After about a cup of tea, the raging fire and the rolling smoke almost swallowed up the mountain village located deep in Lugang. Li Tianqu, who had dived down the mountain from another secret path, looked back and saw that when he had been in a position for a while, several black smoke gathered into a ball and ascended to the sky.
The dry food carried in the team was only enough for a hundred thieves to provide five or six days. However, the estimated time was enough to support Chenzhou, guarded by the governor Zhao Yuan. Although it was difficult to guarantee any changes and surprises during the journey, Li Tianquxin said that success or failure was here. If he imitated Qin Zongquan's anti-army methods without any limit, he would still be unacceptable to the corpses scattered in the mountains and used as food for human flesh before he was forced to that extent.
Li Tianqu ordered the minions to carry as much as possible from the corpses of the anti-army soldiers. Most of the only nine horses in the village were so thin that they were too fat to ride, and could only be used as mules and donkeys carrying supplies. Only three were left, and they were still strong, and they could be used as war horses for Li Tianqu and others to fight.
In addition to the Tang sword he had always worn with him, Li Tianqu chose a Pu sword from the village, and used it as a weapon for horse fighting. Although he inherited the skills of the original owner of this body and his riding skills were quite proficient, the weapons that were not long and short, were also mainly used in infantry battles. At present, there is no condition to teach Li Tianqu to find a horse Zhan Mo sword that is well-crafted and can use more handy when fighting immediately.
If these small staff and shabby families encounter the anti-military troops, they may be wiped out in 100 cases...
Li Tianqu let out a long sigh. Although he looked solemn, he was also full of confidence. If he wanted to achieve success in such a chaotic world, how could he not be indulged in the great danger? Although there are not many people at the moment, at least a hundred thieves are willing to obey my orders. In the future, with my ability, how much will this number of words be able to be increased?
