A lowly soldier becomes king, I slaughter my way through the late Tang Dynasty!

"General Yulong has arrived! Wolf Mountain will be at peace!"

"General Yulong has arrived! Good days are coming!"

"The people surrender, we'll give them houses and land!"

"The soldiers of the stockade have surrendered; all past transgressions will be forgiven!"

Five hundred soldiers of the Broken Army, carrying torches high, marched in unison into Wolf Mountain.

They quickly took over defense while shouting slogans.

The villagers of Wolf Village, who were about to flee in panic upon hearing that government troops were attacking, were now in danger.

Upon hearing that the person who had arrived was General Yulong, they all stopped in their tracks!

The benefits of a good reputation are evident here.

If it were someone else, the people would probably run away even faster upon hearing their name.

But the person who came was General Yulong, who was famous throughout Hebei and had driven away the Khitans several times, protecting the peace of the region.

The people naturally wouldn't flee.

not to mention.

It is said that the people of Boling County, which was governed by General Yulong, lived like immortals.

The villagers had long yearned for it!

With no resistance whatsoever, the people of Wolf Village stood on both sides of the narrow road, watching the Po Lu Army ascend the mountain.

Those tense and armed soldiers dared not step forward.

Furthermore, most of the soldiers in the village were family members of the villagers, and everyone wanted their family to live a better life, so they were even less likely to take action.

As soon as the enemy army arrived, the soldiers in the village would throw down their swords and surrender as soon as someone took the lead.

Throughout the entire process of capturing Wolf Mountain.

They encountered almost no resistance!

The Polu Army, chanting slogans all the way, completely took over the defense of the Wolf Stronghold!

to the end.

When Zhao Kuangyin burst into Sun Fangjian's residence.

The outcome is decided!

Zhao Pu's eyes were full of excitement as he kept exclaiming in amazement behind Li Rui.

"My lord is truly a divine being! This vast Wolf Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack; even the Khitans cannot take it down."

But our lord, with a single psychological tactic, captured them without bloodshed or losing a single soldier!

the other side.

Chen Xiaoniu was filled with admiration!

Zhao Pu was, after all, a scholar who had never been on the battlefield.

All he knew was that Li Rui had easily taken down the tough nut of Wolf Mountain with a simple trick.

But Chen Xiaoniu had been to the battlefield.

For a pure military general like him, Li Rui's fighting style was so novel and ingenious.

It was truly an eye-opener for him!

To be honest, before today.

Chen Xiaoniu didn't even know that war could be fought like this!

He was prepared to charge into battle and suffer heavy casualties!

As a result, they encountered no resistance whatsoever along the way, and everyone surrendered on their own initiative.

This battle was even more exhilarating than a bloody bloodbath!

"Following the general in battle, let alone this little Wolf Mountain, conquering the entire world would be a piece of cake!"

Upon hearing this...

Li Rui laughed.

"It seems that teaching you to read and write has been effective; you can even say idioms now."

Chen Xiaoniu chuckled.

Li Rui then said to Zhao Pu.

"You have made a great contribution to this victory."

Zhao Pu was taken aback and asked, puzzled.

"I have made a great contribution? The plan was devised by our lord, and it was Prince Ping who went up the mountain as an envoy. So where does my great contribution come from?"

Li Rui's lips curled into a smile.

"The underlying logic of this psychological warfare tactic is that the people of Boling County can indeed live a good life, which makes the people of Langshan Village envious."

"Boling County was governed by you on my behalf, how could you not have made great contributions?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pu felt a warm glow in his heart.

He quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"You flatter me, my lord. The reason why Boling County has been able to be governed to its current state is entirely due to the foundation laid by you and the policies you have formulated."

Pu merely followed the lord's planned route and performed some trivial tasks; he deserves no credit.

Li Rui laughed heartily.

Just as he was about to take Zhao Pu's hand and leave behind a beautiful story of a ruler and his minister that could be passed down to future generations on this Wolf Mountain.

A loud voice suddenly shouted.

"General! Your brother-in-law is dying!"

……

The army doctor was anxiously examining Sun Xingyou's injuries.

Zhao Pu, standing to the side, whispered a reproach to Zhao Kuangyin.

"What happened? Didn't I specifically tell you to protect Sun Xingyou? How did you get so badly injured?"

Zhao Kuangyin looked completely wronged.

"It's not my fault! He was already like this when I rushed in. If I hadn't knocked Sun Fangjian away, he would be dead already!"

Zhao Pu sighed and asked again.

"Where is Sun Fangjian?"

"He's locked in the woodshed, constantly cursing."

Zhao Pu lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over Li Rui's back.

After much deliberation.

Zhao Pu made a decision immediately.

"This Sun Fangjian cannot be allowed to live!"

Even after being reduced to a prisoner, Sun Fangjian was still shouting and cursing.

This clearly demonstrates that this person is absolutely incapable of surrendering peacefully, and if he is allowed to live, he will inevitably become a hidden danger in the future!

They must be eliminated!

A fierce glint flashed in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, and he immediately spoke.

"Okay, I'll go kill him."

Zhao Pu quickly stopped him, lowering his voice.

"No, Sun Fangjian is nominally our lord's brother-in-law. If you kill him, wouldn't that make our lord bear the infamy of killing his own family?"

Zhao Kuangyin seemed to be thinking about something, and then quickly said.

"I understand, I deliberately let him go, and then on the way..."

Zhao Pu nodded slowly.

"This plan will work. Remember to destroy the body and tell everyone that he escaped and his whereabouts are unknown, understand?"

"rest assured!"

With just a few words, the two men decided Sun Fangjian's fate.

Li Rui was unaware of this.

However, given his personality, even if he knew, he wouldn't stop it.

There are some things that he, as the head coach, cannot do, so someone else needs to do them for him.

Now Li Rui only cares about one thing.

Can Sun Xingyou's life be saved?

He had promised Sun Xiaomei that he would reunite her and her brother.

Moreover.

Sun Xingyou played a crucial role in the surrender at Langshan.

He was essentially a bridge between the people of Langshan and Li Rui.

As long as he is alive, the subsequent resettlement and incorporation work will go very smoothly!

He cannot die, neither out of sentiment nor out of reason.

however.

The doctor accompanying the army was not very skilled.

"How is it?"

"Uh... This old man is incompetent. I've lost too much blood and there's really nothing I can do to save him."

Upon hearing this...

Zhao Pu was already thinking about it.

If Sun Xingyou dies, how should the work of resettling and incorporating the people of Langshan proceed?

Can Ah Da and Ah Shui, these two representatives, replace Sun Xingyou and play a role?

And at this moment.

Li Rui suddenly asked.

"Where is Sun Fangjian?"

Zhao Pu was taken aback, and quickly replied.

"Locked in the woodshed, but..."

However, Zhao Kuangyin had already passed away.

Li Rui frowned as he looked at Zhao Pu's expression.

"Bring him here first. Whether or not Sun Xingyou can be saved depends on him."

Zhao Pu immediately sent men to rush forward, and they brought Sun Fangjian, who had already been knocked unconscious, before Zhao Kuangyin could do anything about it.

Zhao Kuangyin looked puzzled.

"What? I knocked him out, I was going to dump him in some remote mountain forest and kill him, what's wrong...?"

Zhao Pu repeatedly gave him meaningful glances, signaling him to shut up.

Li Rui knew perfectly well what the two were plotting.

I just don't have time to worry about that right now.

"Bring a basin of boiling water, two goose feathers, and a piece of scallion."

Upon hearing this...

Everyone hurriedly did as instructed, but did not understand the meaning.

They're saving people!

What are you looking for goose feathers and scallions for? Are you planning to cook something?

Soon, everything was ready.

Zhao Pu couldn't help but ask.

"My lord, what does this mean?"

Li Rui didn't even look up.

"Save his life."
