Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian was immediately startled.
I'm too kind.
I have absolutely no recollection that human nature is ugly and dark.
If the demands of these people are met too easily, they will soon become arrogant and self-important.
"My lord, please go back and rest. From now on, I, Han Xin, will be in charge of opening the granaries and distributing grain, as well as the right to use this well."
Jiang Tian nodded and patted Han Xin on the shoulder: "As expected of the person I, Jiang Tian, have chosen. From now on, you will be in charge of the affairs in this city."
...
Langya.
The gathering place of Zhang Shicheng's army.
A gray falcon flew into the military camp like lightning.
General Li Yi stretched out his hand, and the falcon landed steadily in his hand.
Li Yi took a short message from the hawk's talons and walked respectfully to Zhang Shicheng.
"General, a letter has arrived from the direction of Flying Fox City."
Zhang Shicheng sat on a tiger chair: "What is it? Flying Fox City, Dragon City, and Flying Tiger City should all be in our hands by now."
Li Yi quickly unfolded the letter and was immediately shocked.
The guy's face turned deathly pale.
"General, Dong Dahai has been killed, and his men have either been killed or captured."
"What? Who did this?" Zhang Shicheng slammed his hand on the tiger chair, stood up, and demanded loudly.
"General, the three cities of Flying Fox City and Dragon City have all fallen into the hands of a man named Jiang Tian."
"Jiang Tian...who is he?"
"Replying to the Commander, I do not know."
"What about the people from the Liao Kingdom?"
"Yelü Hongyan, the daughter of the Southern King of Liao, has also been captured by Jiang Tian, and her fate is now uncertain."
"What..." Zhang Shicheng kicked Li Yi, sending him sprawling on his back. "You dog, I'll ask you a question, and you'll answer it."
Li Yi quickly scrambled to his feet, wiping the blood from his face: "General, spare me! General, spare me!"
"Guards, drag him out and beat him to death with sticks." Zhang Shicheng was a man of unpredictable temper.
Anyone who offends him is doomed.
Soon, several fully armed militiamen walked in from outside the military camp tent, and they divided the work together.
Some grabbed Li Yi's hair, others grabbed his arms, and dragged him away.
Li Yi screamed, "Commander, give me a chance! Instead of killing me, Commander, let me kill that bastard Jiang Tian!"
Zhang Shicheng nodded: "Take him out and give him thirty lashes."
"promise……"
Screams rang out from outside.
Zhang Shicheng looked around and asked, "Does anyone know who this Jiang Tian is?"
Everyone present shook their heads.
"General, there are only a dozen or so families that have started an uprising in the Great Xia Dynasty. I have never heard of anyone named Jiang Tian."
"General, we know all the generals guarding the border, and we've never heard of anyone named Jiang Tian."
"Jiang Tian actually dared to capture the princess of the Southern Court King of Liao. This man is quite bold."
"General, if we don't deal with this kid, the Liao people will."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhang Shicheng rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Yelü Hongyan came to Feihu City to cooperate with us. If she is arrested and the Southern King blames us, who among us can bear the consequences?"
The group looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
"General, now we must kill Jiang Tian and rescue Princess Yelü, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable," General Chu Xiong said, cupping his hands in greeting.
How to save them?
"Dong Dahai's 10,000-strong army, along with over 100,000 refugees, was wiped out just like that. The enemy's strength should not be underestimated. Destroying Jiang Tian will be no easy task." Jiang Tian, whom Zhang Shicheng had never heard of, had easily annihilated his 10,000-strong army.
"General, we cannot destroy Jiangtian by force; we must outsmart him," said strategist Li Changkong.
"How to outsmart them?"
“Send assassins.” A sinister smile appeared on Li Changkong’s lips. “The other side has not yet established a firm foothold in Flying Fox City. We have been planning to take over Flying Fox City and Dragon City for a long time, and our spies are everywhere in Flying Fox City.”
Zhang Shicheng nodded: "Li Changkong, I need to see Jiang Tian's head on my wooden table as soon as possible. Isn't Li Yi going on a mission? Let him go. If he can bring Jiang Tian's head back, I'll spare him."
"promise……"
After a cup of tea, Li Yi dragged his heavy steps and walked in step by step.
With a thud, Li Yi knelt down in front of Zhang Shicheng.
"Li Yi, Li Changkong said he wants to assassinate Jiang Tian, and you are in charge of arranging the assassination mission."
"promise……"
"Li Changkong, you will lead 50,000 troops to follow Li Yi. You must rescue Princess Yelü and capture the three cities of Longcheng."
"promise……"
"By the way, Qin Hongniang is in Longcheng. You can contact her. She's my woman. She's been lurking in Longcheng for two years." After saying this, Zhang Shicheng walked outside. "The feudal lords of the world are rebelling one after another, but there are very few with the power of Zhang Shicheng."
It's clear that Zhang Shicheng was very arrogant.
...
The 50,000-strong army set off, with the main force heading straight for Longcheng.
Despite being covered in whip marks, Li Yi dared not waste a single moment. He led over a hundred trusted followers straight to Longcheng.
Dragon City, Phoenix Street, Fairy Music Pavilion.
"Open the door, open the door." Li Yi walked to the back door of Xianyin Pavilion.
Li Yi knocked on the door three times long and once short.
With a creak, the door opened.
"Who are you looking for?" a pimp asked, sticking his head out.
Li Yi took out his token: "Li Yi, a general under Commander Zhang, is here to see Miss Qin Hongniang."
"No..." The pimp slammed the door shut, and the instant it closed, a knife was plunged inside.
"Bring your madam here."
"The madam isn't here," the pimp said, glancing at the other man's knife and then at the large group of people behind Li Yi. He suddenly felt a chill.
Thud...
Li Yi kicked the door open, and the pimp behind the door was unable to dodge in time. He was kicked several meters away and fell heavily to the ground.
The rebels behind Li Yi quickly stepped forward, holding knives to his neck: "Where is the madam? Where is Miss Qin Hongniang?"
Soon, the madam came out.
The madam gently waved her fan and walked up to Li Yi.
When she saw the token in Li Yi's hand, she was so frightened that she knelt down with a thud: "This old woman did not know that the General had graced us with his presence. I have failed to greet you properly."
"Get up, where is Qin Hongniang?"
"We went to Flying Fox City," the madam stammered.
"Why go to Flying Fox City?"
"What Jiang Tian took, Qin Hongyu also went with him."
"Jiang Tian, how dare you steal the Grand Marshal's woman? I think he's tired of living," Li Yi said angrily.
"General, how many people have come?"
"Why are you asking this?" Li Yi asked irritably. "It's a military secret."
“General, you…” The madam peeked out again, “Jiang Tian is quite strong. If there are fewer people, we won’t be his match.”
"Tch, what big waves can an unknown nobody make?" Li Yi said with a look of disdain.
