Pig Killer

Chapter 360

"But it seems that it is not easy." The king said hesitantly, "Today in the mourning hall, those princes still follow the lead of the Yu family army. They came out to see me off after seeing the Yu family nod!" He patted his thigh and said, "I still lack a brave general who can fight well! If there is someone who can fight, I won't be so frustrated!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there will always be brave men under great rewards. How can he not accept your promise of high positions and generous salaries?" Li Yi said with a smile on his face.

"But I rewarded him with the title of Marquis of Wu'an, and he still wants to see if my family has it." The king said angrily, but he also admired his kindness and righteousness. How could this loyalty not be given to me!

"My Lord, if you can't do it, then give me another reward! Increase it!" Li Yi looked at him with shining eyes and said, "It's just a title."

The king blinked his cloudy eyes when he heard this, and said ruthlessly, "Then you are the king, the princes." He then said, "All those who participated in the alliance are princes. Only he has a humble background, but he can dominate a region and sit on an equal footing with the princes. It is already a blessing from his ancestors."

"Your Majesty is wise, he will certainly be grateful." Li Yi said flatteringly.

"But we can't give him the throne so easily." The king snorted, "How can we do this without testing him and asking him to pay something? There is no such good thing in the world. We have to test his ability. We have to show him whether he is a mule or a horse."

"After the meeting of the princes this time, Your Majesty will definitely fight with the government army. Then we can see how capable he is," Li Yi said to him with a gleam in his eyes.

"We have to separate the Yu family and him a little bit." The king pointed his index finger at him and said, "We can't let them stay together. If they stay together for too long, it will be even harder to win them over."

"This..." Li Yi's eyes rolled around after hearing this, "After getting along for a long time, we get to know each other better, so isn't it better to have a grudge against each other?"

"Our goal is to use him for our own benefit. We need to see his ability to kill enemies and fight alone." The king said soberly, "I believe no one wants to live under the shadow of others."

He has a deep understanding of this and hopes to be independent and not rely on others.

"Your Majesty is right." Li Yi nodded repeatedly, "What excuse can you use? It will make it difficult for General Yu to speak out his grievances!"

"Hmm..." The king narrowed his eyes and thought hard, "Let him lead his men to attack the imperial capital!"

Li Yi's eyes widened instantly when he heard this, "This is too difficult! With the number of people he has, he will just be killed."

"That may not be the case." The king thought about it carefully and said, "The government troops are all tied up by the Yu family, and the rear defense is empty."

"Your Majesty, there are still 400,000 government troops in the northwest border!" Li Yi said quickly with a bow.

"How much?" The king's eyes almost popped out of the window.

"The 400,000 government troops are more powerful than the prisoners we are dealing with. They are truly a million-strong army, iron cavalry. They are defending against the Xiongnu." Li Yi looked at him with horror and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Hunnu?" The king looked at him in confusion and asked, "What is that?"

"The Huns are more powerful than our government army. They are a group of tigers and wolves, extremely ferocious. They kill everyone wherever they go." Li Yi said fearfully.

"Oh my God." The king covered his mouth with his hands and said with his eyes bulging, "Fortunately we are in the south." He let out a sigh.

After a moment of silence in the carriage, the king's eyes flashed with a coldness and said, "Then let Huang Gong and the others go, so that we can see their abilities."

"What if we can't bear it?" Li Yi said worriedly.

"If you can't bear it, then you can't bear it!" The king said coldly, "There will always be casualties in war."

Li Yi was shocked when he heard this, and then he said calmly, "How can we convince General Yu?"

"Do I need to convince him? He definitely has no objection." The king leaned back on the pillow and said calmly, "Wouldn't he be happy to attack the government troops from behind and tie up their main force?" He added eagerly, "He would love it!"

"They are sworn brothers now, won't they stop Mr. Huang?" Li Yi said worriedly.

"Tsk... Brothers can become enemies! Brothers who became sworn brothers halfway through life, what's the point of that?" The king said calmly, "Don't worry."

"Will Mr. Huang agree?" Li Yi couldn't help but ask again.

"He is just a country bumpkin who has gathered his relatives and friends. When such overwhelming wealth falls on his head, he will be overjoyed." The king sneered, "He will not refuse. This wealth is not begged for, but earned."

"Then I will bring it up during the alliance meeting." Li Yi said enthusiastically, "Your Majesty will decide."

"Hmm!" The king nodded with satisfaction, snorted and said, "Let me see how that little brat will refute me."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Yi said flatteringly, bowing.

After Young General Yu had his father buried, he returned to the central army camp in the drizzle. After enduring for so long, he finally exploded, "I'm going to kill that beggar."

"Major General, Major General, calm down, calm down, go take a hot bath first, don't get sick." Mr. Zeng advised anxiously.

"This little rain is nothing." General Yu waved his hand and paced back and forth, "I can't stand it anymore. Sir, don't try to persuade me this time."

"Okay! I won't persuade you. Just take a hot bath and drink some ginger soup, and then we can discuss what to do specifically, okay?" Mr. Zeng looked at him lovingly and said.

General Yu was delighted when he heard this. "I'll go now." He walked out of the central army tent with heavy steps, and suddenly stopped and said, "Sir, go take a hot bath too. I'll ask the kitchen to make some hot and sour soup to help you sweat."

"Okay!" Mr. Zeng looked at him gently and said.

After the two of them took a hot bath and changed into regular clothes, they sat in the central military tent with rosy faces.

The cook brought in the hot and sour soup noodles, and Major General Yu gulped down the entire bowl as if pouring it into his stomach.

General Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Mr. Zeng who was eating slowly. "Sir, continue eating and listen to me."

"I didn't just say that I wanted to kill that beggar because I was hot-headed." General Yu looked at his teacher seriously and said, "Look at how arrogant he is now. He started to make trouble at my father's funeral. He doesn't even take me seriously."

"He is just trying to provoke you. When you are angry, you will lose your correct judgment." Mr. Zeng put down his chopsticks and said slowly. He looked at him with his dark eyes without blinking and said, "I don't believe you can't see it." He sighed and said, "A little impatience will ruin a big plan!"

"I can't bear it any longer." General Yu gritted his teeth and said, "If I continue to bear it like this, I'd be unworthy of being a son."
