There is no way to avoid what is coming. This is the first time the two have fought against each other since Crouching Tiger Ridge. But no matter in terms of commanding troops in battle or personal charisma, he seems to be inferior to Li Jun.
As cousins who grew up together, Lu Tong thought he knew Li Jun quite well. Therefore, like He Ze, he was not convinced by Li Jun's reputation in the military.
In the 13th year of Yan Ping's reign, the tribes invaded. Li Jun was joining the army in Jinyang. It can be said that it happened at the right time. At that time, there was no such thing as the Huben Army. The Eastern Expedition Army was theirs. name. However, at that time, the Eastern Expedition Army was full of factions, the commander was incompetent, the various legions were united and exclusive, and the internal struggles were extremely fierce. After the Yeluo tribe invaded, Emperor Yan Ping had actually intended to ask other expeditionary troops to support him, but he never thought that in just six months, Li Jun would integrate the scattered Eastern Expeditionary Army and change its name to the Huben Army. The great defeat of Yehuqian, the great Khan of the Yeluo tribe at the time, established the existence of the strongest name of the Fourth Expedition Army, the Huben Army.
Even so, Lu Tong felt that he could also accomplish such a move, and Li Han only benefited from his status as a prince.
When he decided to kill Li Han two years ago, he did not hesitate and even persuaded the hesitant prince. In his opinion, killing Li Han was just a fight for the throne. Just a stepping stone. After killing Li Jun, either he or He Ze can take over the Huben Army and turn the Huben Army into a supporter of the prince.
But it turned out that they were out of ideas. Without Li Jun, the Huben army returned to its previous state of disunity. Each general supported his own troops and refused to obey anyone. Although He Ze was the commander-in-chief of the Huben Army designated by Emperor Yan Ping, his generals did not listen to his orders at all. When he was with Li Han, he was completely different. He Ze once tried to distance himself, but these people ignored him at all. He also tried to use iron-blooded methods to scare these people, but was ridiculed to pieces. After being summoned over and over again, the empty military tents, and the soldiers who would mutiny when forced, even if they squeezed out the others, He Ze still failed to win over the hearts of the Huben army.
Lu Tong was even worse. In the first battle, he was ambushed by Ye Huxian. He lost more than half of his soldiers in the hasty escape. Even a big defeat was considered a light one. It’s not that he doesn’t understand the art of war, he just marches and fights. How can there be any rules? Different enemies must be treated with different methods. Sneak attacks on grain and grass are not suitable for every enemy. The ability to perform on the battlefield depends on the general's adaptability.
But it is unfair to attribute all the reasons for the defeat to Lu Tong. Everyone understands the principle of knowing oneself and the enemy, but the emperor's order is difficult, and not everyone has the courage to resist the unreasonable emperor's order. Lu Tong didn't dare, He Ze didn't dare, and even the prince didn't dare.
Lu Tong bowed his hands and said: "Please give me some advice from the King of Jin."
Everyone else accepted it. He was not as shameless as Fu Liang, so he had to accept Li Han's "beating" . He was well aware of Li Jun's petty ways. From childhood to adulthood, no one could hurt him at all without any cost. Even the extremely favored eleventh prince, Li Wei, was attracted by him.The beating made me cry for father and mother. Li Yan would eventually get back the debt he incurred on the night of Yan Ping's eighteenth year.
This kind of sparring would lose its original meaning if swords were used. Only fists can not only arouse people's blood, but also control the size of the damage.
Lu Tong, who comes from a noble family, is no exaggeration to say that he is proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, and his martial arts moves are much more exquisite and practical than those of the other three. This boxing technique was originally just a basic fist and kick technique for beginners, but after being improved by Lu Tong, it became the weird and unpredictable Lu Family Boxing. This fist can always attack the human body at an incredible angle, which makes Li Jun more playful.
Unconsciously, a quarter of an hour passed, and if he continued playing, he would be in trouble, so Li Han regretfully stopped. When Lu Tong attacked again, not only did he not give in, but he stepped forward, accurately blocked the angle of Lu Tong's attack, restrained his arm, and punched Lu Tong in the soft flesh of his armpit. Li Jun didn't stop after he succeeded, and punched his soft flesh one after another. Under the suppression of absolute power, Lu Tong could not break free from Li Jun's restraints, and he was so anxious that sweat poured down his forehead. Fortunately, Li Jun was still cautious and did not break his bones or muscles, but this feeling of numbness, itching and pain was really terrible. After Li Jun let go, Lu Tong's arm couldn't be closed. It hurt when touched and there was a bruise under the skin. It wasn't serious, but it would take five or six days before he could go down.

"I have seen that it is not difficult to defeat the four of them. As long as you train well, you will be promoted and rich, and return to your hometown in fine clothes. It will not be a problem. If you fight well, I will accept you as a personal soldier, so brave "Come on!"
When the soldiers below saw Li Jun defeating the four people in a smooth manner, their hearts were ready to move. Their lazy thoughts were instantly forgotten. For a while, the army became martial and their morale was greatly boosted.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and there was no movement in Jinyang City. Emperor Yan Ping couldn't hold himself back, so he sent someone to rush.
The envoy was a close servant of Emperor Yan Ping and had little knowledge. Li Han chatted with him here and there, feasting every day, and another month passed. When the envoy returned to Beijing, Emperor Yan Ping became even more depressed after receiving the report.
Although there were obstacles from Wei Guangdu and others in the court, Emperor Yan Ping still urged him every month, then every half month, then every ten days, and finally every three days. The words became sharper and sharper, and the inquiry at the beginning turned directly into accountability.
"Li Jun, you are greedy for life and afraid of death. You are hiding in Jinyang and dare not fight, wasting food and grass, and dragging down the national treasury. What do you want? I have ordered you to fight again and again, but you have ignored it. There is still something in your eyes. Don’t you have a king? Do you want to treason and usurp the throne? From now on, the supply of food and grass to the Huben Army will be stopped.”
Emperor Yan Ping’s insult. You can ignore it, but being cut off from food and grass is a big deal.
After sending away the envoy, Li Jun began to make a livingJi is worried. Everyone in the tent had different opinions on this. Some people thought that they had been recuperating for nearly half a year, and the morale of the army was strong, so it was a good time to go to war. However, some people thought that the time had not come yet, and although the morale of the army had declined, , but overall it’s still a fight. When troops are sent out at this time, the outcome is unpredictable.
But no matter what, without food and grass, this battle cannot be fought.
After shooing away the crowd, Li Jun kept pacing in the tent. Qin Yao watched for a while and said, "Why don't you ask the princess for help?"
1 The words awaken the dreamer. But after asking his wife for help, Li Jun scratched his face and felt a little feverish.
