Chapter 92 Appalling
"Yun saw Liang's flag and rode his horse to stab Liang among the crowd, cut off his head and returned."

"If a single horse enters a group of several thousand cavalrymen, he will kill or injure more than a hundred people before escaping. If he does this six or seven times, no one will dare to pursue him."

"He flew over the broken bridge, glared at it, held his spear in his hand and said: I am Zhang Yide, let's fight to the death together!"

Li Yuanhui knew all the deeds of famous generals in history and was always fascinated by them.

This scene made Li Yuanhui suddenly recite a poem. Yes, it was Xin Qiji's "Reminiscence of the Past at Beiguting in Jingkou".

A golden horse and an iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

He knew that Liu Xuanji was a good fighter, but he didn't expect him to be so good.

One man, with a lance and a broadsword, chased and hacked at thousands of people, leaving corpses all over the ground.

Such a fierce scene, but I never thought I would be able to witness it with my own eyes.

I used to doubt the authenticity of personal bravery in the era of cold weapons, but the scene before me is irrefutable evidence.

Not only Li Yuanhui was shocked, but also Liu Tong, Guo Xiaoke, and the brothers Duan Wuchen and Duan Wuda.

The arrival of reinforcements finally made Liu Xuanji stop and breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Yuanhui asked Guo Xiaoke, Liu Tong and others to be responsible for harvesting and cleaning the battlefield. He and Duan Wuchen rode their horses to Liu Xuanji, who had taken off his helmet and was lying on the ground gasping for breath.

After getting off the horse, Li Yuanhui took the water bag handed to him by Han Quan and handed it to Liu Xuanji who was lying on the ground.

Liu Xuanji sat up and waited until his breathing calmed before taking a big gulp.

"Captain Liu's courage is no less than that of the Overlord. He is truly a man of heaven."

Among the younger generation of Dayan, Duan Wuchen was one of the best in terms of bravery and military strategy. However, after witnessing Liu Xuanji's bravery today, he couldn't help but praise him excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuanji laughed and said, "General Duan, you are too kind. Hahahaha, they are just bandits, not worth mentioning."

Duan Wuchen said: "I am not being polite at all. Captain Liu, please don't be so modest." Duan Wuda beside him also kept nodding.

"Thank you, General Duan."

Li Yuanhui asked, "Brother Liu, are you injured anywhere? I'll send someone to help you deal with it."

Liu Xuanji smiled and said, "No need. Silang, you gave me the fish scale armor, which is very strong. The blood on my body is from the bandits. I am not injured, but I am a little exhausted now. I just need to rest for a while. Don't worry. Today, I am grateful for this armor."

"As long as nothing happens."

Liu Xuanji's armor is of great value. It was given to him by Li Silang. It is difficult for the weapons in the hands of the bandits to cause any harm to him.

The reason why Liu Xuanji was able to accomplish such a feat was not only because of his own bravery and excellent armor, but also because of the weakness of his opponent.

These bandits are pale and skinny, and they are lucky to have a full meal a day. They have no training, so it is a bit of a pipe dream for them to break armor with hoes and shovels.

After cleaning up the battlefield and counting, it was found that Liu Xuanji alone had killed 150 rebels and bandits.

Duan Wuchen and Li Yuanhui's troops also made some gains, but no matter what they achieved, they could not compare to Liu Xuanji's heroic performance today.

After returning to the camp, Duan Wuchen and Li Yuanhui repeatedly vouched for Liu Xuanji and called over a dozen of their cavalrymen to testify. Only then did Murong Yang and Xue Ji believe in Liu Xuanji's heroic act.

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just horrifying, horrifying."

Some people in the Yan army did not believe it, and naturally, the rebels in Qi County and Wang Bozhong's army did not believe it either.

But all the defeated soldiers said the same thing, which forced Murong Xuan, Wang Bozhong and others to believe that there really were such fierce men in the world.

In the central army tent in the Dongpingling South Camp, Chengyang Wang Murongxuan sat in the middle, Wang Bozhong sat next to him, and officers from both armies sat on both sides. Zhang Baiqian stood in the middle and recounted the battle, but when Wang Bozhong heard that the other side was alone, he wanted to draw his sword and chop Zhang Baiqian to death.

"What are you talking about? Just one person defeated you and made you flee in disarray?"

"Yes, that man, wearing heavy armor and holding a long spear, no one can get close to him."

If Zhang Baiqian exaggerated the number of enemies, there might be some water in it. After all, in order to avoid the responsibility of defeat, both the Yan army and the rebels would exaggerate the number of enemy troops.

But what's the purpose of saying that the other party is just one person? It obviously doesn't fit the theory of escaping the crime, so there is only one possibility, really.
"Do you know the man's name?"

Zhang Baiqian said: "While chasing and killing, the man shouted that he was the descendant of the Han Dynasty's Chengyang Jing Wang, Liu Xuanji of Zhuo County."

"Liu Xuanji?"

"Liu Xuanji?"

Qin Bogui, the eldest brother of the Qin brothers, and Chen Dengyun, Murong Xuan's brother-in-law, exclaimed at the same time.

Murong Xuan immediately asked: "Do you know this Liu Xuanji?"

Chen Dengyun said, "Reporting to the general, I recognize him. We met him in Chang'an at the beginning of the year, so we have some friendship."

"Oh?"

After Murong Xuan started the rebellion, he proclaimed himself the General of the Eastern Expedition and the Commander-in-Chief of the Qingzhou military. He nodded, but did not continue to ask questions. However, he secretly made a note of this matter in his heart.

Wang Bozhong, on the other hand, wanted to draw his sword and chop Zhang Baiqian, but gave up after being persuaded by everyone.

After the meeting, Murong Xuan kept a few of his confidants and asked, "Who is this Liu Xuanji you are talking about? What is his relationship with you?"

Cui Xiaotong then told Murong Xuan everything that happened in Chang'an. The five of them had not told Murong Xuan about this before, thinking that it was better to have less trouble than more.

But now, it doesn’t matter. The rebellion has already happened. It doesn’t matter even if the second prince Murong Zan was killed on the spot in Chang'an.

Murong Xuan laughed after hearing this: "Hahahaha, you guys are really tight-lipped after committing such a big crime in Chang'an."

Chen Dengyun smiled awkwardly and said, "This is not a serious matter. Li Yehou asked us to keep it secret, and I was afraid that you would blame me and the news would leak out, so I didn't tell you. But in this situation, this matter is not important anymore."

After Murong Xuan laughed, he asked again: "Since you two have some friendship, can you persuade Liu Xuanji to give up the dark and join the light?"

Cui Xiaotong on the side shook his head: "At least it's impossible now. Liu Xuanji is on good terms with the sons of Duke Tang, which means he has boarded the Longxi Li family. The Li family is now in full swing, and Duke Tang is unifying the military affairs of the prefectures in Shu. Although our army is now in Qingzhou, the imperial army has not arrived yet. If we can't resist the attack of the imperial army, we will have to flee the world and wander around. Why would Liu Xuanji surrender to us at this time?"

Murong Xuan's face turned serious when he heard this. "Then can we use this incident to cause chaos in the Yan army? Since Li Yuanhui has a grudge against the Second Prince, can we let them fight during the battle?"

Cui Xiaotong said: "You can give it a try, but this plan is unlikely to be effective. Although Li Yuanhui is young, he is steady and now he is under the care of the King of Wu and the Princess. He will not act rashly. On the contrary, the King of Liang is tyrannical, so maybe we can use him."

Murong Xuan nodded, and then said: "But this matter is not urgent. We will make plans after the various departments of the court are due. Now there is another matter that is of great importance. The two people in Huainan and Pengcheng are slow to act, and the pressure is all on Qingzhou. You should write a letter for me immediately and ask them to start the rebellion as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Qingzhou is suppressed by the court, Murong Ying may take action against them. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be in danger."

Cui Xiaotong bowed and said "yes", and then retreated with several others.

After leaving the tent, Chen Dengyun spoke up, "How about we use this incident to target Mr. Li? Is that a good idea?"

The Qin brothers and Yang Xianguo also looked at Cui Xiaotong.

Cui Xiaotong said: "Since the matter of Chang'an has been brought up, it is inevitable that we have to make some fuss. Although we are under the care of Ye Hou in Chang'an, we are now serving different masters and the two armies are fighting. If we can capture him on the battlefield, we will naturally repay Chang'an's kindness. But now, we have no right to worry about him."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. Cui Xiaotong was right.

What we should worry about now is not Li Silang on the opposite side, but our own side.
