Chapter 1085 Two Balls of Fire

Li Rujing did fight well in Jianmen Pass.

Shi Gong might not have been a feint attack at the beginning. If Li Rujing had not defended the city of Guancheng, Shi Gong would have broken through Jianmen Pass and went straight to Chengdu.

But it was precisely because Li Rujing's defense was properly done that Shi Gong decisively deviated from the litchi road and rushed to Zhang Xianzhong's army.

For Li Rujing, no matter how good he fought, he could not stop the defeat of the Western Army.

This is a kind of helplessness of a leader, like a game of chess, he is a carriage, horses and cannons, and the coach behind him is eaten up, and it will be useless to move forward bravely.

Li Rujing marched along the west bank of the Fu River and finally rushed from Jiange to Tongchuan, and joined forces with Sun Kewang again.

He walked into Sun Kewang's tent and asked the first thing he said: "The adoptive father... is really gone?"

Sun Kewang was naked and had several bandaged wounds on his body.

He did not answer immediately, but walked forward and hugged Li Rujing.

"The righteous brother is really gone?" Li Rujing asked again: "Didn't you say, I guard the Jiange, are you following your father? Where are you when the father was surrounded?!"

Suddenly, Sun Kewang burst into tears.

"Second brother! Father... Father is broken! I don't have time to save him, I don't have time to... Father!"

Li Rujing felt more and more painful.

When he was young, he tried his best to practice martial arts and learn military tactics. His adoptive father told him that he could overthrow the court that bullied them and the poor. But afterwards, he only saw his adoptive father's cruelty and bloodthirsty death.

Now that the close friend has died, the adoptive father has been defeated, and the West is about to fall apart. How can we go ahead?

He originally wanted to surrender to the Chu Dynasty so that the world would be peaceful as soon as possible, so that the people in Shu would not have to suffer from war. But now, if his father's grudges are not repaid and his kindness has not been returned, how can he surrender?

At this time, the one who was holding him was the righteous brother who grew up with him for twenty years. However, Li Rujing knew that this righteous brother was full of selfishness.

Then what can he do and who can he join him?

...

"Second brother, let's avenge our father." Sun Kewang cried.

"Avenge?" Li Rujing murmured.

He closed his eyes as if he saw his soldiers die under the artillery fire of the Chu army. Seeing Sun Kewang and he led his troops into Guizhou and Yunnan to burn and kill and loot, countless people cried and died under the horse's hooves.

He thought to himself, "I don't want this." The next moment, Zhang Xianzhong's figure emerged in his mind and slapped him hard on the face.

"Did you forget how I raised you?! The ungrateful wolf..."

Sun Kewang still hugged Li Rujing and kept repeating: "Second brother, don't blame the elder brother for those little things a few days ago. Brother is just afraid that you will be confused and cannot accept your father in time... Now that the father is dead, we must avenge our father."

"Okay, take revenge."

Li Rujing finally responded.

A flash of light flashed in Sun Kewang's eyes, and the feeling of grief also dissipated...

The two brothers had nothing else to say, and they each held their tears, stood in front of the map, and discussed the next battle.

"I have fought with the Chu army and lost a lot of people."

Sun Kewang spoke first, pointed to the map, and said, "Now Shi Gong is capturing cities everywhere, and led his army south, intending to arrive at the Yangtze River to set up defenses first.

Shi Gong thought we would run away, but we didn't. We simply fought with Tang Jiedu.

Tang Jie has been chasing me. He underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, so he must cross the river here in Jiulianzhou. I ask my second brother to lead his army to intercept Tang Jie. I lead my army from Zhang Feiliang downstream to cross the east bank again.

In this way, second brother, you take advantage of the Tang Dynasty to attack, and I attack from the rear. In this battle, we avenge our father and lose. We also have the honor to see our father under the storm..."

As Sun Kewang said, a few days later, Tang Jie really led his troops to cross the river near Jiulianzhou.

However, after Sun Kewang led his troops to the lower reaches of the Fu River, he did not return to the east coast to attack Tang Jie as he said. Instead, he quickly headed straight to the southwest.

He planned to rush to Xuzhou, cross the Yangtze River in Sankou City, and transfer to Guizhou and Yunnan.

Before leaving, Sun Kewang did another unexpected thing... He sent troops to set fire and burned Li Rujing's stored food.

Because from the beginning, he had no intention of taking Li Rujing with him.

He knew early on that Li Rujing's reputation in the army was not inferior to him, and he was even better than him in terms of generals.

Even though Sun Kewang was so generous to his soldiers, he gave them a banquet and allowed them to rob them, some of the soldiers in the West were more willing to serve Li Rujing.

Sometimes when the night is late, Sun Kewang examines his heart and has to admit that he is just jealous of Li Rujing.

This jealousy burned in Sun Kewang's heart like fire for a long time.

When the news of Li Rujing defeating Shi Gong at Jianmen Pass came, Sun Kewang was not happy, but felt uncomfortable as if he was pinched to his throat.

On the contrary, after hearing that Shi Gong was pretending to attack Jianmen Pass, he actually took the lychee road. Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and died, but Sun Kewang felt... very happy for a moment.

But he soon thought that this could only prove that Li Rujing was far stronger than him.

If Shi Gong could defeat Li Rujing quickly, he could have gone directly to Chengdu from Taurus Road and surrounded Zhang Xianzhong. It was just a pretending skill that proved that the Chu army regarded Li Rujing as an opponent, but did not take him seriously.

Therefore, Sun Kewang used Li Rujing to resist the Chu army and burned Li Rujing's food and grass with fire. In this way, Li Rujing had no room for any more mistakes. Even if he could not defeat the Chu army, he could only fight with the will.

Furthermore, if Li Rujing's remaining troops were dispersed and there was no food and grass, he would have to choose to rob and rob. With the Chu army's false benevolence and righteousness, he would definitely divide most of his troops to collect and suppress him, and he could also delay time.

As for whether Li Rujing will rebel?

Sun Kewang is not worried about this. How could he not understand Li Rujing after being a brother for twenty years? With his father's revenge, Li Rujing has been forced to a situation where he can't even surrender...

"I guess he can only die."

Sun Kewang sneered slightly, clamped his feet and ran wildly.

In front of him, it seemed that he could see Guizhou and Yunnan. He seemed to see himself traversing in the wilderness, establishing a country and winning the power, and having great potential.

"Walk!"

As the guns and cannons roared, Tang Jie suddenly pulled Wang Zi.

At this time, they were standing on the battlefield. Wang Xun was still watching Tang Jie command the Chu army to cross the river, and another soldier came to report something.

"Where are you going? You haven't killed these thieves yet."

"Sun Kewang escapes, let's go chase him." Tang Jie said, shouting loudly to the deputy general to continue commanding, and leaving Zhang Guangdi with his adviser.

Wang Qi was stunned and didn't say much, and followed Tang Jie off the battlefield.

In the past, he was extremely reluctant to stay in such a place with flying arrows, but now his heart seems like there is a fire burning in his heart, making him forget about the danger.

This is anger.

Wang Qi had heard that Wang Xiao and Bumubutai had both hanged people with bows.

This time he decided that Wang Yan would hang Sun Kewang alive in his hands like that...
