Three days later, in the open space west of the city, all the remains of the soldiers that could be collected had been properly buried. Li Jun ordered people to erect a stone tablet there to commemorate the comrades who died.
Looking at the demoralized army, Li Jun, dressed in white clothes and with his head wrapped in a white scarf, bowed three times in front of the graves of the dead soldiers, cut his palms with a knife, and let the blood drip into the wine bowl. , Li Jun picked up the bowl, sprinkled it on the ground, and said: "I promise you that I will kill Ye Huxian, take back Dingyun, and avenge the shame."
After the memorial ceremony, Li Jun just turned around, raised his fist that was still dripping with blood, and said to the soldiers in the audience: "Sacrifice yourself to fight for the national disaster, and treat death as if you are home. The blood of the soldiers will not be shed in vain, and the blood debt must be paid with blood." The king hereby swears that he will never return the favor until he takes revenge."
The soldiers who were aroused were also excited: "Revenge! Revenge!"
Seeing that morale had improved, Li Jun issued the order for training. At the same time, he ordered people to post recruitment notices, expand the source of troops, and recruit new soldiers into the Huben Army for training together. As for the reinforcements, they also train and live together with the soldiers of the Huben Army to enhance the feelings of fellow soldiers. This battle brought Li Jun's prestige in the army to a peak. The reinforcements who were not convinced at first did not dare to question his orders anymore, and the problem of relations between the two armies gradually disappeared.
However, although he wanted to take revenge, Li Jun has been holding on since that day and refused to respond no matter how much he sent people to provoke him. He concentrated on training the army every day, set up an arena in the school grounds, put out a very considerable bet, and said: Whoever can win will be made a general and give him a reward of a thousand taels. Under the heavy reward, the soldiers who did not know the truth were eager to go on stage to try their skills, but in the end they were beaten without exception. His superb martial arts and superb ability to lead troops in combat made everyone more convinced of him.
Within two days, Fuliang and Zhang Guang, who had arrived late, finally returned to Jinyang. When Fu Liang heard about Li Jun setting up the ring, he didn't want to humiliate himself, but Qin Yao accidentally let him know that Li Jun hadn't fully recovered yet and was far less brave than he was two years ago. The speaker seemed to be unintentional, but the listener did have a heart. Fu Liang, who was quick-thinking, couldn't wait to challenge Li Jun. There was no suspense about the outcome of this battle. Fu Liang was beaten with a bruised nose and face, and was thrown off the ring in a very degrading manner. However, Li Jun seemed to have deliberately let him go. The two exchanged more than a hundred moves, and Fu Liang was "unfortunately defeated". , Therefore, all the soldiers also recognized Fuliang's force. After all, almost no one can perform twenty moves under Li Jun.
Fu Liang was simple-minded and did not see Li Jun's intention. He just felt that as Qin Yao said, Li Jun's body was far from recovered. In the past, when fighting against Li Jun, he would be beaten every time he failed to make ten moves, and he would definitely lose if he could hold out thirty moves at most.
As a matter of course, Li Han announced that Fuliang would guard the ring instead of him. The person who could defeat Fuliang would be awarded the title of deputy general and temporarily act as the general of Zhenxi. At the same time, if Fuliang is defeated, he will be deprived of the title of General Zhenbei. Fu LiangI scratched my head, feeling like there was something wrong here, but I couldn't put it out.
On the other hand, when Qin Yao and others saw his aggrieved look, they felt extremely happy. The prince is famous for being petty. Do you think that the last time the princess was here, the prince would not settle the score with you? There is a saying called settling accounts after the fall, do you understand?
Everyone thought that Li Jun was playing tricks on Fuliang in order to retaliate for Fuliang teasing the princess in Crouching Tiger Ridge. But when Le Weisheng came on the court and had an inextricable fight with Fu Liang, they seemed to understand why Li Jun did what he did.
As expected, the agile Le Weisheng and the veteran Fu Liang were evenly matched, which stunned all the soldiers below. It was about honor, and the potential of the two people was completely stimulated. Three quarters of an hour later, both of them were panting, but neither of them refused to admit defeat. In the end, it was Li Jun who managed to smooth things over. They were both victorious and undefeated, and the two were considered a draw. In this way, Fu Liang does not need to be demoted, and Le Weisheng can get the opportunity to temporarily act as General Zhenxi.
Li Jun knew that there would be many soldiers below who would feel dissatisfied, so he simply increased the pressure and asked the current generals of the four towns to accept the challenge. It also gives them a chance to win over the soldiers' morale.
"I know that many of you are unconvinced. Why can the four of them lead an army alone? Today, I give you a chance. The subordinates of each army will challenge your generals. Who can defeat them?" If the four of them fight, I will make him a lieutenant, and I will never break his promise. However, to be fair, they will accept up to three challenges a day. The rest of the time, you will have to train with them and carry out military orders together."
Showing off force is not the ultimate goal. It is Li Jun's goal to get along with the generals of the four towns and the soldiers. Of course, this also increases his prestige in the military from the side.

"Before you fight them, I will give you a try first." Li Jun walked past the four people one by one with ill intentions and said, "Fu Liang."
Hearing this, Fu Liang jumped three feet away and wailed: "I surrender."
The people watching below laughed, but they had seen the two competing before, and they understood why Fu Liang was like this. reaction.
Li Jun glanced at He Ze again and said with a smile: "He Ze."
He Ze cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is very skilled in martial arts. I will finally be convinced of the matter of martial arts competition." Forget it."
Li Han laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense, we'll talk after two moves."
Li Han didn't give him a chance to dodge, and just bullied him. Li Jun stepped forward and slapped him, and He Ze took three steps back. Li Jun stepped forward again, and He Ze was forced to take three steps back. Even with his internal strength, He Ze was no match for Li Han. With the last palm, He Ze took more than ten steps back before neutralizing the attack. Li Han didn't mean to hurt him, so although he was a little embarrassed, he was not actually hurt.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He Ze seemed to understand something.
Li JunyiLaugh, turn around and walk towards the next target.
"Weisheng, come."
Le Weisheng was full of youthful spirit. Even though he knew that he was no match for Li Han, he still stepped forward bravely. However, this could not change the reality. After fighting for more than seventy moves, he was defeated unfortunately. For Le Weisheng, Li Han was teaching him while fighting, which wasted some time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Le Weisheng was very grateful for Li Jun's advice.
Li Han smiled softly, turned around and walked towards the final highlight.
"Master Lu, please."
