Thief Emperor

Chapter 126 Let’s fight!
About ten days ago, Li Yun heard some fragmentary descriptions about this great general from County Magistrate Xue. At that time, Li Yun guessed that this great general was probably a bit straightforward, difficult to get along with, and had no idea how to behave.

I didn't expect this guy to be so unkind!

The prime minister's nephew, the chief official of Xuanzhou, probably didn't say anything else, just said a few words to Li Yun, and this old man made such a big fuss about it!
If it was not Li Yun, but someone else who was driven out so directly by the general, then the general would be slapping Cui Shao in the face, and giving him a hard slap.

Even Li Yun was a little angry. He raised his head and stared at the general for a long time. After slowly exhaling a breath of foul air, he said, "General, what backdoor did I use?"

"You know it in your heart, why ask more questions?"

General Su stood up, his armor rustling. He said calmly, "When I lead the army, I always have to reorganize it. Otherwise, each battalion comes from the same place and has its own ideas. How can we fight? You are just a small captain in Qingyang County, and you want to use the Cui family to break my rules?"

"You can go back by yourself."

Su Jing looked up at Li Yun and said calmly, "Go back to Qingyang and continue catching thieves and robbers. There is no room for you in my army."

After hearing this, Li Yun calmed down a little. He looked up at the general in front of him and said slowly, "The general just told me to go back to Qingyang and continue to catch thieves and robbers?"

"how?"

Su Jing frowned and said, "Do you want me to say it a second time?"

Li Yun took a deep breath and said, "General, I was ordered by my own county lord to join the royal army to suppress the rebellion. Since the general wants me to go back, please write me a note. You don't need to write anything else. Just write that the general ordered me to continue catching thieves and arresting robbers."

"Ho."

Su Jing looked up at Li Yun and sneered, "You are so arrogant. You dare to mention a small county magistrate in front of me."

"Does this Marshal still fear the magistrate of Qingyang?"

The general also lost his patience. He happened to be writing a document, so he took a piece of white paper and quickly wrote a few lines.

"Tell Qingyang's captain, Li Zhao, to go back to Qingyang to catch the thieves and robbers."

After writing two lines, he signed his name and stamped it with his seal as the chief military commander.

"I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of that shitty county lord you mentioned, nor am I afraid of the Cui family behind you. If the court wants me to fight, I have to follow my rules!"

"I will send you back to Qingyang with a written document. If the Cui family members behind you are angry, Prime Minister Cui can send me back to my hometown with a written document as well."

"This battle is not for me to fight!"

General Su's beard was flying high, and there was a strong sense of resentment between the lines of his writing.

When he was in his thirties, he won many battles in a row and was known as a famous general of the time. However, when he was in his early forties, he offended the imperial court and was banished home, where he was unemployed for more than ten years.

It is impossible to have no resentment in your heart.

However, because the imperial court recruited him, he had to continue leading the troops. However, the resentment in his heart had to be vented.

The Cui family became the target of his temper.

Li Yun didn't tolerate him either. He walked up to take the document, took a look at the contents, turned around and left without looking back.

After arriving at the Qingyang soldiers' camp, he gathered the Qingyang soldiers together, holding the document with the seal of the Jiangnan East Road Marching General, and shouted: "General Su ordered me to wait for the anti-theft team to return to Qingyang to catch thieves and arrest robbers. There is no need for me to wait here!"

"Where is the anti-theft team?"

Li Yun shouted.

Of the more than 200 people present, 150 stood up.

"exist!"

More than a hundred people shouted in unison.

Li Yun waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go back to Qingyang!"

These people were all brought up by Li Yun, and most of them had been beaten by Li Yun himself. They were extremely convinced of him at this moment. When they heard what he said, the members of the anti-theft team who had not yet come into contact with Su Jing, immediately responded in unison. In just a short while, more than a hundred people had packed their luggage.

Li took a deep breath and shouted, "Go!"

More than a hundred of them were about to leave the military camp outside Ningguo County. An officer who was inspecting the barracks immediately noticed something was wrong and stopped everyone, shouting, "What are you doing!"

"Without the general's order, no one can leave the camp at will. Go back!"

Li Yun held the document in his hand and shouted, "The general has ordered us to wait for the Xuanzhou Anti-theft Team to return to Xuanzhou to catch the thieves!"

"Still don't get out of the way!"

Mr. Li was confident and righteous. The officer was also stunned. After taking the document, he took a look and saw the seal below. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Wait here for a while. I will go ask the commander!"

Li Yun strode forward, snatched the document back, and sneered, "Go and ask your own questions. Why are you blocking us?"

After that, he put the document in his arms, took more than a hundred people, and left the camp directly. The officer was furious, but because of the document, he did not dare to lose his temper. So he looked at Li Yun who was leaving, and shouted to his subordinates beside him: "Watch them, I'm going to see the Marshal!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the response from the people below, the general came all the way to the central army tent, half-knelt on the ground, and bowed his head and said: "General, Li Zhao from Qingyang has left the camp with more than a hundred new recruits from Qingyang, saying that the general asked them to return to Qingyang to catch thieves..."

Su Jing stopped writing with his brush. He looked up at the general kneeling on the ground, frowned, and thought about the paper he had just written. After making sure that he only sent Li Yun back and did not send all the Qingyang soldiers back, the commander-in-chief flew into a rage and slammed the table, saying, "How dare you!"

"If I don't bring him to justice today, how will the whole army know that our military discipline is strict?"

"Call some men to stop them and tie up Li Zhao and bring him to me!"

The general was embarrassed and lowered his head and said, "General, tomorrow is the deadline you set. Although there are many people in the barracks now, they haven't had time to reorganize and train yet. Which men do you want to recruit?"

"Bastard!"

Su Jing slammed the table angrily and shouted, "I will personally lead my troops to chase them. Bring the horses!"

The old general was so angry that he left the central army, got on his horse, and took 20 or 30 of his men to chase after them. Because Li Yun and the others were walking, he soon caught up with them. General Su pulled the reins, looked at Li Yun not far away, and shouted, "Li Zhao, you are so brave!"

"I asked you to return to Qingyang alone, but why did you take my soldiers with you?"

"You have violated military regulations. I can chop you down right now!"

Li Yun was not afraid. He looked up at Su Jing and said loudly, "The general asked me to go back to Qingyang to catch thieves. The people behind me are the Qingyang thief-hunting team. Everyone in Xuanzhou knows this!"

"To catch thieves, we must naturally lead the anti-theft team to catch thieves."

"As for the personnel that Qingyang should have sent, at most County Master Xue will fill in the gaps for the general in a few days."

Mr. Li said coldly: "General, are you going to go back on your word?"

"You are so eloquent and yet you dare to make excuses!"

Su Jing shouted, "Come here, capture him and tie him up in my tent!"

Although General Su had not led troops for many years, the soldiers following him were all elite soldiers from his early years in the army. Upon hearing this, two or three of them immediately jumped off their horses and rushed towards Li Yun.

Chen Da, Li Zheng and others were about to step forward, but Li Yun raised his hand to stop them and sneered, "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you."

He stretched his muscles, exerted force on his feet, and suddenly jumped out, rushing straight towards an oncoming soldier. This soldier was also tall and was not afraid of Li Yun. He also laughed and rushed towards Li Yun.

The two men quickly came to one another and leaned against each other's shoulders.

After grabbing the opponent's shoulders, this guy quickly discovered something was wrong. He felt his feet lighten and he flew into the air.

When he landed heavily on the ground, the man couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a great strength!"

At this time, the other two soldiers had also stepped forward. They were not wearing armor at this moment, so Li Yun pushed forward and knocked one of them down. The soldier was hit twice in the back by Li Yun. Without even turning his head, he elbowed the man hard. The man tried to block with both hands, but it was no use. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

Li Yun was almost unscathed. He looked up at Su Jing who was riding on his horse and sneered, "General, is Li still using the backdoor now?"

Su Jing was so angry that his eyebrows jumped, and then he said coldly: "Personal bravery is no different from fighting cocks!"

"You rule..."

He was about to talk about commanding the troops, but when he looked up and saw the more than one hundred united anti-theft team members behind Li Yun, he closed his mouth again and had nothing to say.

Li Yun let out a breath of anger and shouted, "If the general still wants to use force, we can only try our best to escape. At that time, the general's document will be made public. What exactly is the meaning, the world will have its own public opinion!"

General Su frowned again.

This kid is really difficult to deal with.

Thinking of the Cui family behind him, Su Jing felt determined.

It would be better to just let these one hundred people go. After all, these one hundred people are of no importance to the overall situation.

However, he looked at Li Yun again and sighed in his heart.

I was wrong. This guy who got in through the backdoor seems to be a real talent.

General Su jumped off his horse, looked at Li Yun, and said, "Come, let's have a fight. If you win, you can do whatever you want today."

"If you lose, you will come back to my tent with me. I want to have a good talk with you about your sins tonight!"

General Su also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and was a fierce general who was able to seize flags on the battlefield when he was young.

He got off the horse and walked towards Li Yun step by step.

Li Yun was not stage-frightened either. He strode towards Su Jing. When they were about ten steps away, the two of them shouted in a low voice at the same time and quickened their pace.

The old man and the young man collided with each other. As soon as they came into contact, Li Yun moved sideways to block General Su's punch, then took advantage of the momentum to push the general back four or five steps, while secretly crying out in pain.

This old guy is wearing armor!

General Su finally managed to steady himself, but he was extremely surprised.

This boy has such extraordinary strength!
