"Brother Gongqi must not mistakenly listen to Li Zhe's one-sided remarks. This is a plan to sow discord. If Zhang's words are inappropriate, I hope that my brother will be generous and contented."

After fighting the horse back to the formation, Zhao Wei rode his horse straight to Zhang Lu and explained hurriedly.

Zhang Lu took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and his expression had returned to normal when he opened his eyes.

"Brother Zhao is worried too much. Li Zhe is known for his cunning reputation and is well known to everyone. How can such provocative words be hidden from me, Zhang Lu?"

While speaking, Zhang Lu looked calm, as if he was talking about something idiot that had nothing to do with him, and was extremely calm.

"The war is imminent, Brother Zhao quickly sends the generals to fight, otherwise once the Western Liang cavalry rushed over, we will be passive."

Seeing Zhang Lu's face was normal and his tone was gentle, Zhao Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and nodded happily, "Brother Gongqi said so well. I will send the generals to fight to see if the generals of Xiliang are really as invincible as the rumors say. If Brother Gongqi does not abandon him, how about going to the front of the battle with me?"

"I really want to ask for it. Brother Zhao!" After saying that, Zhang Lu rode his horse behind Zhao Wei and turned back to the central army formation.

"A group of timid rats who only know how to show off their verbal skills dare to make a big fuss in front of Li, which is ridiculous! Hahaha." Amid the laughter, Li Li drove the Golden Beast Throne Champion to slowly return to the formation, stopped and stared at the Yizhou army under Yangping Pass coldly.

Fa Zheng approached Li Li and whispered: "Just just now, the lord had a chance to capture Zhao Wei alive or kill him in public. Why did he let him go?"

Li Li nodded and smiled, "Xiaozhi said it right. With the speed of the golden beast, I can capture Zhao Wei in an instant. If I want to kill him, it is even easier to turn my back. However, since ancient times, fighting has been polite and then soldiers. If you rashly kill his chief general, it will inevitably arouse the enemy's desire to unite with the enemy, prompting him to be indignant and unite, which will backfire. When talking in front of the formation, the chief general was attacked and killed. This is a great humiliation to the soldiers under his tent. This is a taboo for the two armies to fight, and it will not be worth the loss. Therefore, since ancient times, calling in front of the formation has been a routine, and even if you don't speak for it, you must not declare it."

After a moment of speech, Li Li looked at Zhao Wei and Zhang Lu on the opposite side with a smile. He pondered meaningfully: "This Zhao Wei is a bit interesting. This person is skillful in his mind, clever and demeaning, knows advance and retreat, and knows the current affairs. He is definitely not a good person. Just as he was just shouting, I saw the rapidly expanding power in this person's eyes, and he was just a minister whom Liu Zhang relied heavily on. He responded to Yizhou and had a high reputation. Nowadays, Liu Zhang took such an ambitious person as his arm. I have to say that he has amazing courage, either he is a wise and foolish king. He has the ability to control this person; or he is stupid and incompetent, and he is weak and strong, which is a taboo for those who are superior. Therefore, it is very necessary to keep this person, and I will have great uses in the future."

Fa Zheng nodded thoughtfully, and when he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a general running out of the Yizhou army: "Well? The Yizhou generals have come out to challenge!"

Li Li nodded slightly: "This general who took the lead in the battle had an extraordinary appearance, nearly nine feet in size, had a straight facial features, a resolute expression, a cold eyes, holding a black iron spear, and a green horse under his crotch. He seemed to be very powerful. Xiaozhi could know who this person is?"

Fa Zheng smiled when he heard this: "It happened that I really recognized this person, or I have been paying attention to this person for a long time and knew him well. To be honest, if the lord had not quickly pacified Xiliang with thunder three years ago, I would have probably gone to Yizhou to avoid the war. The reason why I went to Yizhou was related to the general in front of me.

This man's name is Zhang Ren, a native of Chengdu. He is the first general of Yizhou. He is now a military general under Liu Zhang. He is a general of the Central Army. He is a master of martial arts and has a rigorous military management. Liu Yan praised him very much during his lifetime. He ordered him to lead his troops to fight against rebellions and expel the southern barbarians several times, and he won all the battles. Therefore, Zhang Ren is now the leader of the general of Yizhou, and he is in line with Wu Yi. He is incompatible with the Yizhou army. In addition to Zhang Ren, there is also a long-standing general in Yizhou, which is Yan Yan, who is stationed in Ba County. It is said that he recommended Zhang Ren to serve as an official in his early years."

"Zhang Ren, Yan Yan?" Li Li murmured to himself, then turned his head to Zhao Yun not far away and said, "Zilong, I think you are familiar with Zhang Ren, right? If I remember correctly, you seem to have mentioned him before. According to the order of entry, he should be your senior brother?"

In fact, there is no need for Li Li to ask. Zhao Yun had long wanted to volunteer to fight or plead with Li Li, but Fa Zheng was talking and he couldn't interfere.

"What the lord said is very true. There are three people in the last general's sect, the eldest senior brother Zhang Ren, known as the "Sage of the Western Shu Gun"; the second senior brother Zhang Xiu was named the "King of the Northern Guns", and the last general finally got the first. The Yizhou general was the second general's senior brother Zhang Ren. Therefore, the last general volunteered to fight and asked the lord to agree."

"Hahaha!" Li Li shook his head with a smile: "Since this person is Zilong's senior brother, how can he let Zilong fight? Isn't this a sect slaughtering each other?"

After a pause, Li Li waved his hand and said, "Zilong, don't worry, I know everything you think. In the past, I also cherished Zhang Xiu's talent, but he was stubborn. Not to mention that he has been enemies of me many times, he still attacked me while shouting in the battle. Therefore, I personally cut him under the knife. I guess this matter has always left a shadow in Zilong's heart. But this time you don't want to serve me, as long as he doesn't continue to be enemies of me, I will promise you that I will not kill him. In this way, you can rest assured, right?"

"Lord, I thank you for your kindness first, my last brother." Zhao Yun bowed and said respectfully.

"Yes." Li Li smiled and nodded, immediately looked at Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Chen Dao and other generals, and said with a smile: "The enemy generals challenged in front of the formation. I wonder who among you is willing to fight for this 'Western Shu Gun Saint'?"

"The last general volunteered to fight." Generals such as Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, Ma Dai and Cao Xing moved when they heard the sound and asked for a fight.

Li Li laughed happily when he saw this: "Okay, okay, the morale is high, and the morale of the army is available! However, I believe you have heard the conversation between me and Zilong just now. Now I will reiterate that Zhang Ren can only be captured alive but not killed. In this way, you can weigh it yourself whether you can capture him alive; you can't kill him, but he will kill you. Life is at stake, and it is not a joke. Don't force it, otherwise you will die for it. Who would you want to fight?"

"The last general,, the last general asked to fight Zhang Ren!" This time there were many fewer people, only three: Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and Chen Dao, while Zhao Yun and Li Zhi were not included.

Zhao Yun needs no need to say more. Li Li has made it clear that he will not let him go to the battle, while Li Zhi rarely volunteers. He will only take the initiative to ask for battle when Li Li is about to go on the battlefield. This does not mean that Li Zhi is afraid to fight, but that he always abides by his duties and gives all the achievements of killing generals in front of the battle to other generals in the army. This move has won him a lot of praise. This may also be a different scenery under Li Li. Whenever there are wars, the generals of Xiliang have never retreated, no matter what kind of opponent they face. This is exactly the true manifestation of the gathering of military generals under Li Li. There are many generals and are not afraid of any strong opponents.

"Hahaha! I know that the three of you will definitely ask for battle and have the strength to fight against Zhang Ren." Looking at Ma Chao and Chen Dao who were eager to try, Li Li shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Forget it, Meng Qi, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong did not transfer Longxiang Camp to fight, so naturally there is nothing you, Ma Chao, you are forced to join the battle. Brother-in-law, I give you this face and allow you to join the battle, but you don't care about this battle before. Chen Dao's previous record in Sili's battle was good and he went on to fight again and again, so you don't have to fight this time."

Speaking of this, Li Li paused and smiled at Huang Zhong: "This battle will be handed over to Han Sheng, to capture Zhang Ren alive and to ensure that he is safe and sound. I wonder if Han Sheng can do it?"

Huang Zhong's slightly dark and resolute face was already full of joy, and he responded: "Thank you for your accomplishment. Please look at it, and I will definitely live up to my high expectations!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Zhong did not say much, and immediately took the golden sword back and beat the horse and drove straight to the formation.

Watching Huang Zhong go to the battle, Li Li looked at Zhao Yun with a smile and said with a laugh: "With Zilong's understanding of Han Sheng and Zhang Ren, who will win this battle? Can Han Sheng capture Zhang Ren alive?"

Zhao Yun was slightly stunned when he heard this, thinking while pondering, "It's really not to be hiding it. Although the general of Mo knew that Zhang Ren was a senior brother of the same school, he had been with him for a short time. After three months of entering the school, Senior Brother Zhang Ren left his army and returned to Yizhou. Therefore, the general of Mo didn't know much about him, but according to the second senior brother Zhang Xiu, the eldest senior brother Zhang Ren was very hard to practice martial arts. He followed my teacher for a full ten years. His pear blossom spear made his fireworks perfect and superb, and was slightly better than him (Zhang Xiu). Based on this, Senior Brother Zhang Ren had a very high spear skills and his martial arts skills should be above Zhang Xiu, which is equivalent to the combat power of the top general at the middle level.

As for General Han Sheng’s martial arts, there is no need to say more about the general. A autumn wind leaf fallen knife makes him extremely skilled, has rich fighting experience, is calm and sharp, but is extremely powerful. Putting aside age, just in terms of combat strength, General Han Sheng is half the lead in the last general, second only to Brother Feihu in our army, and is the second top general in the Western Liang army. Moreover, General Han Sheng is also the best sharpshooter in our army. His superb archery skills are better than swordsmanship. He shoots wherever he points within 150 steps, and the arrows are shot without any slightest. Therefore, General Han Sheng speculates that Zhang Ren is not the enemy of General Han Sheng, and he will win more than his defeat."

Li Li smiled and nodded, saying loudly: "Since Zilong said that, let's wait and see."

Just as the generals of Xiliang turned their attention to the two armies, Zhang Ren and Huang Zhong had a good reputation and did not make any speculations in the future, so they immediately rushed to attack the general.
