Destroy Jin and conquer Song, and carry the Northern Expedition through to the end

Chapter 111: The world is in turmoil (Part )
The young man called Shi Baiju was only about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, at the age where he needed to save face. In addition, he had a pale complexion and was obviously a pampered person. How could he tolerate such humiliation? He immediately wanted to continue fighting with red eyes.

After trying hard to snatch the knife a few times, Shi Baiju felt as if the knife was cast into stone, not moving at all. Looking up, he saw that it was Li Tieqiang, with whom he was usually friendly. He finally calmed down a little: "Brother Li, it's a good thing you came. Help me kill that barbarian today and put an end to the hatred in my heart!"

"Hahaha, Shi family kid, you might as well go find your father instead of Third Brother Li. I've always respected the elderly and loved the young. If your father comes over and apologizes to me, I'll let this go. How about that?"

Before the person walked out of the tent, the unscrupulous voice came out first.

The next moment, a big bearded man with braided hair and a long-handled scimitar in his hand opened the curtain and walked out laughing.

He was just about to make a joke, but he saw Xin Qiji looking at him coldly, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Xin Qiji placed his hand on the hilt of his heavy sword and said coldly, "Yelü Xingge, are you planning to privately kill your comrade-in-arms in the commander's tent?"

Yelu Xingge hurriedly shook his head, and the gold rings on his braids collided with each other, making a crisp tinkling sound.

"Xin Wulang's words are so unreasonable. The commander-in-chief and the generals in the tent saw it clearly. It was clearly this guy who drew his sword first. If I hadn't resisted, I would have been sliced into pieces. Now that this guy is inferior in skills, can he bite me back?"

Xin Qiji remained unmoved. He took a step forward, holding his sword. "I don't care about these things. I have one thing to say. Yelu Xingge, Shi Baiju's sword has been captured by the big iron spear. Do you need me to retrieve your sword?"

Yelu Xingge brushed his long beard and narrowed his eyes.

It's not that he had never fought with Xin Qiji. In fact, for a wild and unruly Hu man like him who came from Liaodong, fighting was a very common thing.

But the key is that we really can’t beat them.

Xin Qiji's heavy sword was so thick that it could be used as a long mace. Even if one was protected by heavy armor, one would definitely suffer broken bones and internal injuries from being hit by such a heavy sword.

The key is that Xin Qiji can use two of these heavy swords at the same time!

Is Yelu Xingge crazy to fight with such a monster just for a few words?

Yelu Xingge laughed heartily and sheathed his scimitar. "Big Blue Si, I'll give you a favor today and not bother with this kid. Shi family kid, I'll give you those hemp ropes. You don't have to return them. Use them to wipe your delicate butt!"

After saying this, Yelu Xingge did not even turn his head, lifted the curtain, and returned to the marshal's tent.

"You stupid dog..."

Shi Baiju's face turned red instantly, but Li Tieqiang patted him on the head again.

"Shi Shisan, you're crazy! In this situation, even if we wanted to help you, what could we do? Do we really want to fight that barbarian in front of the Marshal? If the two of us don't take action, can you be a match for Yelu Xingge?"

This was indeed true. Shi Baiju gritted his teeth, retracted his knife, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Tieqiang again.

"Come back, where are you going?"

"Go back to camp. It's embarrassing to stay here anyway."

Li Tieqiang patted Shi Baiju's head again and said, "You're stupid! If you want to object to the outcome of this kind of military meeting, you can only say it on the spot. Saying it afterwards is like defying military orders and is punishable by death according to military law. Aren't you afraid that after you return, someone will take action and blame your army for all the dirty work?"

Baiju's face was pale and uncertain, and before he could make up his mind, he was dragged into the general's tent by Li Tieqiang. Liu Huai, who had watched a big show, saw Xin Qiji gesture to him to wait, so he put away his playful expression and watched Xin Qiji enter the tent.

After Xin Qiji entered the general's tent, he saw the generals of the Tianping Army with different expressions as expected. He also saw Geng Jing, the governor of the Tianping Army, sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face as expected.

After Xin Qiji and Li Tieqiang sang loudly, Geng Jing's expression was still gloomy, but it also improved a lot.

The Tianping Army generals, with different expressions, also restrained their expressions and became much more serious.

The reason is simple. As two of the three generals under Geng Jing, once Xin Qiji and Li Tieqiang return, it means that Geng Jing's power completely overwhelms the rest of the generals.

And unlike Zhang Anguo, who stayed behind to guard the Heavenly King's Army, Xin Qiji was a man of integrity, a man who was strict with others and even stricter with himself.

Although this kind of person is not loved by everyone, he is not annoying either. If he is consistent in his words and deeds, people may not be very close to him, but they will definitely respect him.

Li Tieqiang is a sincere man who is good at dealing with people.

At first glance, these two adjectives might seem contradictory, but they are not. Simply put, Li Tieqiang treats everyone with sincerity, regardless of their stance, character, or status. It's never hard to get a smile or a word of advice from him.

Li Tieqiang's smooth personality and status made him a lubricant between his comrades at all levels of the army.

For example, today, if Li Tieqiang had not been here, the Pingshan Hu would not have dared to attack Xin Qiji.

"Xin Laowu, I've received my brother's head that you sent me yesterday." The bald, burly man sitting in the third seat to Geng Jing's left said coldly, "I only have one question to ask. My brother started at Dongshan, always at the forefront of battle, and has walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood many times. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard.

Yesterday, just based on what you, Xin Laowu, claimed to have witnessed and the corpses of an entire village, you killed all of my brothers. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

Xin Qiji and Li Tieqiang had just bowed in the tent and had not said anything when they heard the Pingshan Hu attacking in public. They were both stunned.

Li Tieqiang immediately rebuked him, "Pingshan Hu, everyone knows you're a thief by nature, and you're the one who does the most vile things. You've done it, and now you're trying to boast about your achievements and judge their merits. Isn't that ridiculous?"

The bald man known as Pingshan Hu knew that Li Tieqiang was a talker, so he sneered and asked, "Even if my brothers did it, so what? The world is in such chaos. Whether it's a village or a farm, if they don't pack up their wealth, kill their cattle and sheep, and leave with our Tianping Army, they're not heroes. They have ulterior motives. What's the harm in a little punishment?"

Pingshan Hu spoke confidently at the beginning, but at the end, when he saw Xin Qiji looking at him coldly, his voice gradually became embarrassed, but his momentum remained bluff.

Li Tieqiang let out an exaggerated hiss and jokingly added, "When you started the Pingshan Hu Rebellion, weren't you also hesitant and nagging? One day you said you had caught a cold, the next day you said your wife was about to give birth, and the day after tomorrow you had to wait for the big animal. And Chief Geng didn't kill you for that."

Li Tieqiang really didn't dare to bring the topic to the village massacre. He was worried that Xin Qiji would disregard the consequences and kill Pingshan Hu on the spot.

Should Pingshan Hu die?

Considering how he has violated military discipline, he deserves to be killed a hundred times.

But what about the other people in the Tianping Army?
What about Jia Rui, Zhang Anguo, Yelu Xingge, Ye Shichan, Sun Hei, Du Shiba, Shi Baiju, Liang Atai. Are their butts clean?
If Pingshan Hu is defeated for this reason, won't everyone else feel insecure?
Were they all killed?
At this time? At this place?

How can it be? !
