Seeing his own soldiers ready to make a move, Li Yu's face became more and more unsightly.
Seeing this, the officials nearby also hurriedly rode forward.
"General, what should we do? It looks like the enemy came prepared. They even found the family members of our soldiers..."
"The army's morale is shaken now... I'm afraid there will be some trouble!"
"I knew it too... No wonder it wasn't soldiers but a group of civilians who came in. So that's what they were planning!"
Li Yu gritted his teeth.
He looked at the two people who were loudly acknowledging each other's relationship, and suddenly said:
"What are you doing! What are you yelling for!"
As he roared, the powerful murderous aura suddenly made the chaotic situation quiet down.
"Catch these people! They are destroying the morale of the army!"
He gave the order.
Immediately, a general stepped forward, but was stopped before he could take a few steps.
"what are you doing!"
"That's my mother! I can't let you catch her!"
"Yeah, that's my uncle, I can't do anything to them!"
We thought we could quickly capture these guys who were disrupting the morale of the army, but it turned out that not only did those who were recognized as relatives not take any action, but their companions around them were also stopped.
Even in the military camp, people can't
Even if they are a lone wolf, they will more or less have a few close brothers. How can they take action when their brothers' relatives are there?
After a while, when Li Yu gave the order, several generals and bodyguards stood up, while the others stood still.
This made Li Yu very angry.
"What are you doing? Are you disobeying military orders?!"
As he shouted, the soldiers fell silent...
Li Yu wanted to say something, but he swallowed his breath. He knew that the other party's plan was extremely vicious. If he really did something impulsive, he was afraid that all the soldiers would be dispersed.
Even he knew that this group of ordinary people were not ordinary. They were in contact with their own soldiers and could be said to be some kind of "hostages".
Not being able to move or fight can still shake the morale of the army!
Thinking of this, his teeth were about to break.
However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out, and a row of elite soldiers suddenly appeared on horseback behind the people.
The leader was riding a warhorse, wearing heavy armor and holding a long sword.
His face was calm and solemn, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes were piercing. His sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes shot straight at me, like a hawk flying in the sky, which made people feel awe.
"Xu~"
He stopped on his horse in front of the people and looked at Li Yu.
"Are you Commander Li Yu, the traitor?"
"Who are you? Stop slandering me!"
Li Yu was stunned, then reprimanded.
"Haha, I am Geng Hu, the commander under Princess Leping. I am here to capture Li Yu, the commander of Tongzhou."
"You raised an army and established your own army, neglected your duties, colluded with Song Zhi, and did nothing during the natural disaster, allowing refugees to run rampant and bandits to run rampant. As the commander of Tongzhou, your crime is unforgivable! Li Yu! Do you admit your guilt!!"
Li Yu felt a chill in his heart and immediately knew this person's origin.
How come she reacts so quickly!
"What crime have I committed? Don't slander me."
"As far as I know, Princess Leping is at the feet of the emperor in the capital. You keep saying that you are the commander under his command. What a joke! I'm afraid you are a refugee in disguise, just taking advantage of the power of the tiger!"
"Besides, my position was appointed by the Emperor. How can a mere princess like you have the authority to judge me? This is an overstep!"
Li Yu knew that he could not accept this crime. Seeing that the other party was well prepared and his martial arts skills seemed to be strong, he knew that he had to make a quick decision and quickly gave the order:
"Catch them now! These traitors!"
Seeing the soldier hesitate, he said in a deep voice:
"Your family members were held hostage by the rioters. I understand and will not pursue the matter later. But if you disobeyed military orders because of the instigation of this villain, then don't blame the military law for being ruthless."
"When the court blames you, your whole family will be exiled and punished!"
Hearing this, the soldiers of the left camp trembled in their hearts and seemed ready to take action.
Chapter 612: The Battle Is Decided (Part 2)
When Geng Hu saw this, he suddenly laughed out loud.
"You traitors, you actually want to be the masters of the court!"
"Tongzhou soldiers, listen up. Commander Li Yu is reckless and arrogant. He is a traitor. The princess has ordered that this man be arrested, escorted back to the court, and stripped of his official position."
"If you help the tyrant, it's tantamount to rebellion!"
Geng Hu's words left the soldiers at a loss for a moment.
Who should I listen to?
"I have the princess's order! As citizens of Tongzhou, how can you not obey?"
As he spoke, he took out a golden token, which looked lifelike.
The other person looked just like the real thing!
Li Yu cursed inwardly!
"Don't listen to him, these are rioters! You are my soldiers! How can you be deceived by the words of a thief!"
"What's the Princess's warrant? The Princess's warrant can do nothing!"
The princess's warrant was indeed useless, at least it had no real power, but the people didn't understand it, so they went to Geng Hu and said:
"Tongzhou Prefecture is the fief of Princess Leping. As citizens of Tongzhou, you should obey the Princess' orders!"
"The princess sent me here to rescue you from the hands of the villains and prevent you from being deceived by them! Are you going to follow this criminal and lead your own army to oppose the court? If so, I will not joke with you about killing all nine clans."
"As long as you surrender and do not instigate this person, the benevolent monarch will certainly not pursue the matter. After all, you are the people of Tongzhou and the subjects of the county lord."
This kind of reversal of status really pissed off Li Yu!
This person is talking nonsense!
But it was this confident look, the token, and the soldiers behind him who looked more majestic and extraordinary than them, that really frightened them.
No matter how Li Yu explained it, it added a sense of uncertainty.
Not to mention that their families are on the other side, how can they easily take action?
Seeing the soldiers wavering, Geng Hu signaled to the people behind him, and they immediately shouted.
"Dog, don't listen to your superior! Your mother is waiting for you at home, don't commit a crime!"
"Yes, yes, Erwazi, my aunt often mentions you. Did you know that? Your mother is seriously ill and is almost dead. If it weren't for the princess, you would have only been able to see your mother's grave! Don't you want to go back and see your mother? You unfilial son!"
"Wang Wazi, we have been looking for you so hard! Your father is gone! You are such an unfilial son!"
After all this, those who were still hesitant were instantly shaken.
"What! Second Aunt, are you telling the truth?!"
"What happened to my mother? What on earth happened? Wasn't she fine when I left?!"
"Uncle! Are you telling the truth? My father is gone! I am unfilial! I feel so sorry for my father!"
There was constant crying and shouting for a while, and the isolated soldiers heard news from their families for the first time.
They either fled, died, or were seriously ill. In addition, the words they said all emphasized that it was because of the princess's help that their families were able to survive, which added a certain tendency to the instability.
Li Yu became furious when he saw that his soldiers were defeated by the enemy in just a moment.
"Thief, we will kill you!"
As he said this, he spurred his horse to a gallop, and in an instant he was in front of Geng Hu, raising his knife to stab him.
A series of attacks besieged Geng Hu fiercely. As the commander, Li Yu naturally had his own way. His swordsmanship was rough and fierce. Every attack seemed to tear the air and cut off anything that blocked his progress.
In the face of his continuous attacks, Geng Hu kept raising his sword to block them.
Accompanied by crisp metal collision sounds, the blade and the sword edge rubbed against each other, sparks flew.
Li Yu learned the art of quick swordsmanship, the core of which was to defeat the enemy with speed. In his opinion, as long as he used his sword skills to chop off Geng Hu's head and the leader would die, he could easily deal with the rest of the people. Relying on his subordinates, he could quickly defeat the opponent.
However, the reality was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Logically speaking, his sword skills were getting faster and faster, and this person should not be able to defend himself. But in reality, no matter how he swung his sword, Geng Hu could take it all, and he did it with ease!
How is it possible! How could such martial arts be under the command of Princess Leping? Those noble families would not allow such a powerful person to be loyal to that person. Even if he had never seen her in person, Li Yu also had his own information channels.
Princess Leping had damaged the interests of so many noble families. Even if she left, the noble families would not stop causing trouble for her, not to mention sending her a leader like this. Moreover, such a powerful person would not allow herself to be bound and join the ranks of someone else, let alone a woman.
Li Yu couldn't figure out why this man was so strong, while Geng Hu responded to the opponent's attacks with ease.
If it weren't for the blessing of divine power, it would be hard to say whether he could withstand Li Yu's attack. In fact, as Li Yu thought, Geng Hu's martial arts could only be considered above average, which was definitely not enough to deal with Li Yu.
But Keqing cannot be judged by ordinary standards, and the same goes for the people who follow her. No one would have thought that the so-called lucky star they thought was just in name only, was actually really blessed and had extraordinary powers. She was a true god who had descended to earth.
When Geng Hu obtained this power, he broke through the realm, possessed true energy, and entered another realm.
Now, when fighting against Li Yu, he can handle it with ease, and he even uses him for training and teaching him moves.
"General, kill him!"
"Show this thief your strength!"
There was a shout from behind! Cheer for Li Yu.
Li Yu's face turned black.
It seemed that he suppressed Geng Hu with one sword after another, making him unable to fight back, but he knew while being in the battle that the guy in front of him didn't have much strength at all, and he was already at a disadvantage!
"Damn it!"
He cursed inwardly, his face gloomy, and quickly tried to take the opportunity to escape from the battle and make plans later.
However, how could Geng Hu allow him to escape from the battle? He suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked a shadow, instantly kicking Li Yu's long sword away. Then he turned over and punched Li Yu hard in the chest.
Li Yu's face changed, and he quickly blocked with both hands in front of his chest! However, Geng Hu's move was a fake move. He held a knife in one hand and slapped Li Yu's side fiercely.
"what--"
A figure was slammed to the ground.
Geng Hu hurried forward, stretched out his hands, pinched and pulled his arm.
Crack! Under the powerful force, his limbs were instantly dislocated, and Li Yu was subdued in an instant and lost the strength to fight.
"How could it be! General!"
"Damn it, rescue the general!"
Li Yu's personal guards and generals rushed forward to rescue him!
However, when they took action, their soldiers did not move, which made their outcome a foregone conclusion.
As Geng Hu waved his hand, the soldiers behind him stepped forward instantly. In a few quick moves, the generals of the Tongzhou soldiers, including their personal guards, were captured in an instant.
Looking at the soldiers who had lost the desire to fight, Geng Hu nodded.
The battle is decided!
Chapter 613: Beating, Questioning (3 more)
Because they brought the families of the soldiers from the barracks with them, and all the generals were captured, the Tongzhou soldiers were subdued one by one without any resistance and were very honest.
Geng Hu also easily controlled the entire Tong County.
On the day he took control of Tong County, he immediately opened the granary and ensured that all soldiers had three meals a day. He immediately won everyone's hearts through material means.
Then a notice was issued stating that those who did not want to serve in the army could be repatriated, and they would be given food and silver.
