Chapter 0068: If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth
Under the city of Fangcheng, nine thousand soldiers were arranged in several square formations and were training in a swaggering manner. Although the army had no intention of taking Fangcheng as its base, Li Yu did not give up such an opportunity. Yuan Zhao's army was defeated, Yin Shishi's army was annihilated, and the Qihuo Army ushered in a rare peace. He also hurried to reorganize the army, disrupted four thousand troops into the camp, and even the old camp participated in the training. With the help of the food and grass left by Yin Shishi, they could hold on for a while.
Li Yu had a long spear in his hand. Although it was not of the highest quality, it was not an ordinary spear either. He did not practice any other moves, just stabbing. The most classic and basic move of the long spear was stabbing. It was about speed and ferocity. Li Yu was very strong, so he could naturally do it, but he was still a little short of speed.
Xie Yingdeng served as a sparring partner. His spear skills were very high. The spear was the thief among soldiers. It was fast and thief-like. One shot after another was dazzling, and people had no idea where the next move would appear. If you want to defeat this kind of person, there is no other way except to be quick-eyed and quick-handed. You can only counter his moves.
He knew that what Li Yu needed most now was to absorb the essence of spearmanship and integrate it into the horse lance. Even if he couldn't absorb it completely, he had to understand the principles. Xie Yingdeng made a lot of efforts for this.
Although Li Yu was caned, it was only a superficial injury and he recovered quickly. With Yang Ruoxi's medical skills, he was able to practice martial arts on the third day. A long spear in his hand felt like a spear. The cold light flashed one after another, and there was a whistling sound. The wooden stakes in front of him made a series of loud noises, and fist-sized holes appeared in front of everyone, which made people shudder. If such a long spear pierced the human body, it would kill on the spot.
On the city wall, Wu Yunzhao looked at the military training scene below the city with a gloomy face. It seemed that Li Yu did not take him seriously at all. Although he did not have many soldiers, it was uncomfortable to see the enemy training in front of him so openly.
"General Yun, I didn't expect that Master Yin Shi not only failed to destroy Li Yu after a night of fighting, but also made Li Yu much stronger." Fang Chengling sighed deeply.
"Are you blaming me for not cooperating with Master Yin Shi that night and attacking from both sides?" Wu Yunzhao's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but refute. To be honest, if Wu Yunzhao really attacked that night, it would be a question whether Li Yu could easily win.
"No, no, I was just a little angry when I saw the enemy being so presumptuous. I believe the general is the same." Fang Chengling didn't dare to tell the truth. He shook his head and said, "To be honest, I am glad that I didn't send troops at the beginning. Otherwise, Master Yin Shi's fate would be a lesson for us."
"Humph, this Li Yu is abominable. He actually trained his troops right under our noses." Wu Yunzhao was still a little angry. He sneered and said, "It seems that he is so presumptuous because he is sure that we dare not attack."
"Isn't it?" Fangcheng Ling said with a bitter smile: "General, to be honest, I would rather pay some money and send them away from Fangcheng than let them attack the city. General, you know that the more than 10,000 troops of Yuan County Governor have been defeated. If Lu County Governor sees the situation, I am afraid that the life of the county governor will be lost there."
"County Magistrate!" Wu Yunzhao's face changed slightly when he heard this. He was not the magistrate of Fangcheng, he was from a noble family. He knew why his family members were killed and why Yuan Zhao took him in. Now that Yuan Zhao had failed, he knew even more that Yang Guang had already thought of a way to deal with Yuan Zhao after this. It was just that Yuan Zhao was honest before, so Yang Guang could not find an excuse. But it was different now. Yuan Zhao had suffered heavy losses, so Yang Guang would definitely settle accounts with him. At the very least, he would be dismissed from his post, at worst, his life.
Wu Yunzhao might not care whether Yuan Zhao is dead or alive, but after Yuan Zhao's misfortune, what will happen to his future and where to go are all things Wu Yunzhao should consider. Without Yuan Zhao's protection, his identity will soon be revealed. At that time, will he still have a place to stay in the world?
"Call the troops, I'm going to meet Li Yu." Wu Yunzhao had a thought in his mind, and said to the city commander: "No matter what, we have to test it. If we do nothing, the morale of the army will be affected."
"This?" Fang Chengling looked at the thousands of elite soldiers on the opposite side, and a trace of worry suddenly appeared on his face. However, he looked at Wu Yunzhao's appearance, thought for a while, and said: "General, the enemy is numerous and powerful, it is best to be careful."
"At this moment, you and I have no way out. If the enemy attacks, we will definitely not be able to resist. In this case, we might as well meet this beggar army. Perhaps, as the adults said, we can send some food and let them leave. In this way, we won't suffer any losses and can protect the country and the people, right?" Wu Yunzhao suddenly said.
"Yes, yes, what the general said is very true. I will go to meet the wealthy families in the city and ask them to give money and food. Otherwise, once the city is breached, we will be in trouble." Fang Chengling suddenly realized, as if he had found a feasible way.
"That's great. My lord, go find the rich families in the city. I will go meet Li Yu now." Upon hearing this, Wu Yunzhao turned around, went down the city wall, and led five hundred elite soldiers out of the city.
"I'm sorry, Lord Fang, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth . I, Wu Yunzhao, and Yang Guang have a blood feud that must be avenged, so I can only borrow your head. However, I don't know how capable Li Yu is, so I have to weigh him. If he is just a show-off, it would be better for me to come alone and lead my brothers to rule the mountain and become the king. That may not be a bad idea." Wu Yunzhao walked out of the city with a spear in his hand, but countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
He had guessed that Yuan Zhao would be in trouble, and once he lost Yuan Zhao's protection, he would become a criminal again and be wanted by the government. In this case, he might as well take a chance and surrender to Li Yu, offering Fangcheng as a gift. Of course, he would know all this after he had tried Li Yu.
As for whether he had let down Fang Chengling's trust, Wu Yunzhao didn't take it to heart. As long as he could save his life and avenge the Wu family, Wu Yunzhao didn't care.
"Where is Li Yu? Do you dare to fight?" Wu Yunzhao rode out on a warhorse, holding a spear, pointing at the opposing army and shouting loudly. He didn't pay attention to other people, he only saw Li Yu.
Pang Jue had seen Wu Yunzhao a long time ago. He saw that the other party was holding a long silver spear, wearing a phoenix-wing silver helmet, wearing dragon-scale silver armor, and a white robe with a python dragon. He was eight feet tall, with a face like purple jade, and was very powerful. He immediately knew that the other party was a strong enemy. He quickly told Li Yu not to mention it.
