Chapter 346: General Li of Heavenly Might! (asking for monthly ticket)
Helian Jieshan, a famous general of the Sixth Heaven and commander-in-chief of the 100,000 coalition forces in the Western Regions, was beheaded. Li Guanyi's tense spirit finally relaxed, followed by an indescribable great fatigue, which seized Li Guanyi like a wave.

But correspondingly——

The morale of the surrounding Western Region coalition forces collapsed almost instantly. The Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd in Li Guanyi's hand disappeared. He grasped a spear and with a flick of the spear, Helian Jieshan's head was picked up and fell into his hand. The famous general still had an unwilling look on his face, his eyes wide open with anger.

Li Guanyi understood his reluctance.

If it weren't for the internal chaos among these 100,000 people, if it weren't for Li Zhaowen's support in the battle formation, if it weren't for the Black Armor Army, if it weren't for Qibili and Fan Qing, if it weren't for Li Guanyi.

Helian Jieshan would never reach that point and was killed in the army.

And after accomplishing such an achievement.

Li Guanyi only felt that it was a great pleasure. This was the pinnacle of being a general.

He shook his wrist, and a cold light flashed. With a click, the central army's flag swayed and then fell to the side with a loud bang. The generals retreated, all of them pale and terrified, not daring to move forward. Li Guanyi held the gun high in his hand.

His body was stained with blood and his brows were stern.

In the dead silence, he said loudly:
"Helian Jieshan has been killed by me!!!"

Among the 100,000-strong army, the enemy commander was beheaded. The already precarious morale of the Western Region coalition collapsed like an avalanche. Deserters appeared everywhere and chaos broke out in an instant. Li Guanyi exhaled a breath and took a look at the spear that was broken after charging for so long.

Even the Xuan soldiers, with the infusion of grandmaster-level internal energy, continued to fight with the fierce generals supported by the military formation, and eventually could not bear it and broke.

He held the broken spear in his hand like a long sword, and then picked up a long spear from the battlefield, carrying Helian Jieshan's head, and rushed out to kill. The Western Region Allied Forces saw him as if they saw a god, and were all terrified.

Although Li Guanyi was already in a state of spent force, even his immortal body was somewhat weakened.

It cannot regenerate quickly in a short period of time and needs to be replenished.

But his battle robe was stained with blood, his armor was scarred, his brow was raised, and he came with a spear and a sword in his hand. He frightened the generals and captains so much that they reined in their horses and retreated. Among the 100,000 soldiers, no one dared to face his sharp edge.

Needless to say, the Qilin is still waiting in Li Guanyi's arms. Anyone who dares to come over will be sprayed with Qilin fire.

Thousands of soldiers and horses avoid one man and shout "General Tianwei"!

Watching Li Guanyi's rising arrogance from afar, Fan Qing's tense spirit relaxed. Seeing the enemy's army formation open, he was shocked. He sighed solemnly and said, "My lord, it is indeed my lord..."

The same was true for Qibili. He was also frightened. But when he came to his senses, he felt an indescribable sense of pride rising to the sky. The tens of thousands of soldiers in Anxi City had witnessed the unparalleled bravery of their lord. Qibili felt extremely happy.

Xiahou Duan saw from afar the large flag of the central army fluttering and suddenly breaking, and he also saw that the army over there was in chaos. Although the distance was too far and he could not hear any movement over there, the defeat of the Western Region coalition forces was visible to his naked eyes.

Xiahou Duan felt that his hands holding the weapons were trembling, and he was overjoyed. He said:

“What a divine power!”

Among an army of 100,000, kill the main general!

He is truly an enemy of ten thousand men!
As a warrior and general, even though he is getting old, he still has blood boiling in his heart. Even though such a great achievement was not accomplished by himself, he still feels an incomparable sense of pride. At that moment, there is no difference in position, he just feels extremely happy.

All the generals and captains in Xiyi City were like this, their blood boiling.

Even his previous hostility towards Li Guanyi and his dissatisfaction after killing Li Xuanye were all abandoned in an instant. The so-called generals in troubled times admired this kind of extreme bravery the most.

Duke Li praised with a smile, but there was fear and vigilance in his eyes.

What a divine power...

Looking around, the army was cheering, and their morale was so high that it couldn't be higher. Duke Li felt a chill. Xiahou Duan noticed the change in Duke Li, pulled the reins, and whispered: "My lord, he is our ally, why are you not hurrying up?"

Duke Li smiled bitterly: "I wanted to hide this man's achievements before."

"Your Majesty is so focused on conquering all directions that he only knows about our great victory, but he doesn't know about the so-called Tianger and the existence of the Central Plains merchants. Then the matter of the forty-two cities is not a big deal."

"Lift it high and put it down gently."

“This is a competition in the officialdom.”

"But now, do you think you can still keep it secret?"

The eager joy in Xiahou Duan's heart disappeared. He was silent for a long time and said:
"It can't be stopped."

After a pause, he said seriously: "We can't stop it either."

Duke Li said, "Yes, one hundred thousand men. If the enemy and us were added together, it would be recorded in history as two hundred thousand men in such a great battle."

"But there was this man who single-handedly challenged the uncle of the emperor of the enemy country and killed the commander of a hundred thousand men in front of this army. Even the historians who are very stingy with words would record this battle. This man is young enough to be on the list of great generals."

"No matter what the reason for this war is, no matter the strategic comparison between the enemy and us, the competition has led to this result, and the result has been determined."

"Famous throughout the world!"

"Your Majesty has a broad vision and a heart that cherishes the world's talents."

"Do you think Your Majesty would not ask about such a talented general who killed a general in a battle of 100,000 men? Such a person, who has obtained 42 cities, is like a tiger entering the mountains or a dragon returning to the sea. Who can stop him?"

Duke Li sighed and said, "Your Majesty asked about this, and it's a headache."

"Besides..."

Duke Li looked around and saw the army of Xiyi City, whether it was the elite troops who had not scattered despite being besieged and pursued all the way, or the auxiliary troops and defenders of each city, all of them were shouting enthusiastically at this moment, and their morale soared.

Duke Li, on the other hand, felt a chill running down his spine.

After seeing such divine power, this army could no longer fight against the merchants from the Central Plains. It was not that he could not command these people, but these people would suffer a huge blow to their morale without any fighting when facing the young and fierce general!
He just thought about the reaction of these generals and soldiers when they knew that they were facing a god-like general who could take the heads of enemy generals among the hundred thousand men, and he felt an extremely headache.

It is only in the Western Regions that it will happen. I am afraid that once they know that the leader of the opposing army is this Tianger, the generals of various troops will not be able to shirk their responsibilities.

alliance?

That is, he is no longer in alliance with Li Guanyi.

These elite soldiers can no longer be enemies of Li Guanyi.

One person's reputation has reached this point!
Among all the warriors of the past, present and future, who can compare to him at this age? Perhaps only the Overlord...

The current situation has changed from being chased all the way to being besieged in the city, and then to being able to force back the enemy army and get a draw, and now it has reached the level of a great victory.

The Western Region coalition forces all fled in chaos.

First, he fell into the trap of confusing the enemy, and then the black armor charged into the battle formation. Li Guan beheaded ten thousand soldiers, layer by layer. There has never been an army from ancient times to the present that can retain the will to fight and the military momentum under such continuous attacks.

Great defeat.

I only regret that my parents didn’t give me two more legs.

You don't have to outrun the pursuers behind you, as long as you run faster than your comrades.

While retreating, throw away the armor and other things that slow down your speed.

Throwing away all weapons and armor is a realistic expression.

As for the Supervisory Team? The Supervisory Team ran faster, and they were the ones in front.

When the generals of Xiyi City saw the people of the Western Regions being defeated in a miserable manner, they all took advantage of the situation to lead their troops to attack or trap them, hoping to vent the bad temper they had accumulated over the past period of time. As they ran forward, they met a man, but they all lowered their heads, were extremely respectful, and made way for him.

The host parted like waves, making way for a path.

All the generals saw Li Guanyi coming out of the army alone, with mountain-patterned armor on his body and a purple robe on his crotch, a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, and holding the head, looking very high-spirited and invincible.

Li Zhaowen looked at this extremely brave general, his eyes full of colorful ripples.

She had never felt that her childhood friend and good brother was so special.

Li Zhaowen has always been free and easy and heroic, but he still likes to recruit talents from all over the world.

See Li Guan taking the enemy's head among an army of 100,000.

I just feel endless joy.

Li Guanyi glanced over and saw all the generals in front of him bowed their heads in silence. In the distance, there were swords clashing and horses thundering, but this place was extremely quiet. Li Guanyi turned around and inserted the spear in his hand into the ground, then raised his hand and took off his helmet.

The young man had black hair hanging down in a ponytail, his nails were stained with blood, and he looked very energetic.

He raised his hand.

Helian Jieshan's head fell down in disbelief and anger, landing next to Li Zhaowen's horse hoof. Li Zhaowen was stunned for a while before he looked up at Li Guanyi and said with a smile, "What do you mean, brother?"

Li Guan held his helmet in one arm and said:

"The enemy commander has been defeated by me."

Li Guanyi looked tired, with a hint of laziness on his face.

Even the Xuanbing-level armor on his body had traces of being chopped by knives and stabbed by guns, and there were many wounds. Li Guanyi himself was also seriously injured, but he still killed the commander of 100,000 people in the army, and said leisurely:

"Erlang."

He tightened the reins, and Saluzi walked past the stunned girl.

Li Guanyi smiled and said:
"I've been waiting for your song."

Li Zhaowen's heart beat violently.

This is the first time I feel this way.

Although he knew that Li Guanyi said this as a teasing joke, because he wanted to take this military achievement lightly and not be proud of it, the feeling of his heart suddenly beating faster still made Li Zhaowen purse his lips slightly.

Defeat 100,000 enemies, kill the general and seize the flag, all of which was a casual agreement made before the expedition that day.

After a pause, he laughed out loud as usual and said, "Okay."

She said: "I won't let you down!"

Li Guanyi laughed loudly.

The battle was a great victory. Many generals in Xiyi City were filled with anger and gathered more than 30,000 prisoners and various other wounded, totaling more than 50,000. The rest threw away their weapons and ran away faster than anyone else.

Hu'er could ride a horse at the age of four.

The horse rushed forward at such a speed that the Central Plains generals could not catch up.

When the tribes in the Western Regions were fleeing, they used all their might.

The generals from the Central Plains pursued them only for military merit.

They knew in their hearts that if they fell into the hands of the people in the Central Plains, they would immediately become the special product of the Central Plains Wude, a tower made of human heads, something called Jingguan. As their lives were at stake, they ran for their lives.

Normally, you can use 80% of your riding skills, but now you have to use 120% or 130% of them.

The generals also received military merits and captured prisoners. There was no need to risk their lives. They all boasted about their military merits and returned. Li Guanyi, Fan Qing, and Qibi Li joined together. The generals of the Duke's Mansion returned to Li Shude. After a short rest, the generals discovered a problem -

There was already not enough food, and now there were tens of thousands of prisoners.

This group of people were captured only because the army was in chaos and Li Guanyi's behavior was too shocking. They were caught up in the chaos for a while. They are so elite that if they are pushed back and a brave man raises his arm and calls for them to revolt, they will probably mutiniate.

The generals were arguing, some said to kill him, some said to take him away. When Duke Li heard the generals mention Li Guanyi, they were all convinced and extremely respectful. He was a little irritated and pondered for a long time. Looking at the many Western Regions people who were tied up, he came up with a plan.

Went to meet Li Guanyi.

Li Guanyi was chatting with Fan Qing and Qibili, asking about all the things happening in Anxi City. The two generals did not hide anything and told him everything. However, they chatted for a while and had not been able to get everything clear when Duke Li arrived.

After a few words of casual conversation, Duke Li praised Li Guanyi as rare in heaven and unrivaled on earth, and then changed the subject and said:
"My dear nephew, you can see that we have won a great victory today and captured many prisoners."

"When they are handed over to me, I will kill their leader. These people are very hostile to me, and they are eating my food, which is a huge waste of money..."

Duke Li mentioned the captives during his speech.

"When these people fled, they each took away food, and much of it was destroyed or burned. After the remaining food was distributed to your army and mine, there was not enough food left to feed so many people. My dear nephew, you can follow the example of my Central Plains military strategists."

"The construction of the Jingguan is a testament to the great victory in this battle."

"Secondly, to spread our prestige throughout the world."

"Third, let these barbarians in the Western Regions know the bravery of our nephew, General Tianwei."

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes slightly. He could not do such a thing as killing people and building a Jingguan. Moreover, such things, like killing prisoners and massacring a city, seemed to be showing off one's power, but in fact, they would harm Li Guanyi's own reputation.

If Li Guanyi did this, he would be cut off from the Western Regions. Today, the Western Regions is the last force that has not been occupied by a behemoth, and it is also the last qualification to fight for the world.

Li Guanyi looked at Duke Li and knew what he was thinking.

He wanted Li Guanyi to cut himself off from the world.

Just be a brave general.

It is natural for the Duke of Ying to make such a choice.

Li Guanyi replied: "Uncle is so generous, I would be disrespectful to refuse it!"

Duke Li and Li Guanyi chatted for a long time before leaving.

Li Guanyi rubbed his brows and asked Fan Qing and Qibili to take over the prisoner camp. Then he heard footsteps again. It was Li Zhaowen. Li Zhaowen strode over, looked at Li Guanyi and said, "Brother Li, don't kill the prisoners!"

She grabbed Li Guanyi's arm, stared at him, and said, "Whether it's the enemy or us, killing the surrendered is a very disgraceful thing. It is to cut oneself off from the world. The people of the Western Regions tribes take these things more seriously!"

Li Guanyi was relieved. Although Duke Li was indeed a bold and cunning politician, Li Zhaowen was a brotherly man. So he said, "Don't worry, Erlang. I can save it."

Seeing that Li Guanyi was calm, Li Zhaowen also calmed down and said with a smile: "I know your character and courage. I am just a little worried, so I came here to talk. With your vision, you will definitely see through the shortcomings of this matter at a glance!"

"However, the siege of this city has been lifted. Brother, do you want to return to Xiyi City with me?"

Li Guanyi shook his head and replied, "I want to go back to Yemenguan City."

"Settle down in this city. I will go to Xiyi City and meet up with you, Erlang."

Li Zhaowen nodded and said, "I would like to follow my brother here, but I'm afraid my father won't allow it. He and many soldiers in Xiyi City have been chased by the coalition forces from the Western Regions all the way, but they didn't attack violently, which only frightened them."

"Finally, they have been besieged for a long time and are already exhausted. I need to lead the army myself to escort them back."

Li Zhaowen felt a little apologetic, but Li Guanyi comforted her and told her that it was not necessary.

After Li Zhaowen left, Li Guanyi thought for a while, took out the second brocade bag, tossed the bag, and then opened it.

It is impossible for Li Guanyi to kill these people.

But it's impossible to really let it go.

These are the best and toughest troops from the Western Regions.

If we let them go directly, there might be another war later. But if we keep them alive, what Duke Li said is true. Although some food was collected from these Western Regions troops, much of it was destroyed on the battlefield. The dry food was crushed into powder and kneaded into the soil, or burned or taken away.

If both sides split, there won't be much left.

I can't afford to support these tens of thousands of big-bellied men.

Furthermore, once these people mutinied, Li Guanyi would not be able to suppress the remaining 10,000 people. There were many problems lingering in Li Guanyi's mind, and he opened the secret bag.

See the handwriting above:
"My lord, congratulations on the great victory."

Li Guan was slightly startled. He first thought that Po Jun had foresight, but then he smiled:
"If it's Mr. Pojun, it's not surprising that he guessed it."

He continued to read, and inside the Broken Army Bag was written: "In my opinion, the Lord should have won a great victory over the enemy and captured some prisoners. If the Lord performs well after this battle, many people in Xiyi City will want to tarnish the Lord's reputation."

"The hot prisoner is a trick, and I have a plan for that."

"The Wolf King massacred the city and built the Jingguan in order to dominate the Western Regions. The captives in the Western Regions must be trembling with fear and determined to die this time. My lord, you can use the name of the Wolf King to achieve your hegemony. You can keep some of them and let most go."

"Detain those who are still able to fight."

"We also released the sick and some of the lightly injured, and allowed them to take away dry food."

"In this way, firstly, they are sure to die this time, but there is a chance of survival. With great joy, the lord can gain a reputation for kindness; secondly, on the way to the Western Region, cities of all sizes have been captured by people from these tribes. When these people leave, they will definitely return to the cities controlled by their respective tribes."

"In this way, we can publicize the great victory of the lord and shake the morale of the defenders in the city. On the one hand, we can make them fear the lord's might on the battlefield, and on the other hand, we can make them lenient. The fear comes from the lord's might on the battlefield, and the leniency comes from the lord's benevolence."

"If there is such a great name!"

"When the lord attacked the city, the defenders knew that they were no match for the lord in a war, and if they surrendered, the lord would treat them leniently, and might even release them. Their will to resist was not firm at all."

"This is a psychological tactic."

"In this way, the people's hearts can be used."

"The so-called Western Region cities can be taken down with a simple move."

"The third is to use these sick and weak people to consume the resources and herbs of various cities, which can also help the second strategy."

"The general trend of the world, the rotation of yin and yang, is inexhaustible. The Wolf King dominates the Western Regions and is at the peak of his power. However, the lord can do the opposite and benefit from his reputation. The more powerful the Wolf King is, the higher the lord's reputation will be."

"The great military situation and the wonderful flow and change are all here."

"The best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy."

"It is here!"

Li Guanyi's thoughts were clarified, and he followed the brocade bag and said, "My help, sir, is more valuable than thousands of troops!" Then he stood up and went out, first seeing off Li Guogong and others, and then saying goodbye to Li Zhaowen.

Xiahou Duan whispered, "My Lord, will Tianger kill people to build a Jingguan?"

In fact, he felt somewhat uncomfortable with Duke Li's methods.

Military strategists are not murderous monsters. The Jingguan are usually cast using killed enemies.

Killing prisoners, killing surrendered people and massacring cities has always been a source of bad reputation.

Duke Li replied: "He is kind to the people of the Central Plains, but he may not be tolerant of the people of the Western Regions."

"Even if I don't want to kill these people, I can't control them in the end. There will be many crises after the food is insufficient, and there may even be civil unrest. He has to make plans. I don't intend to kill him, but I don't want to be his enemy either."

"I just hope that His Majesty will not be furious."

"Isn't it better to give up the possibility of fighting for the Western Regions and become a brave general in the world?"

Xiahou Duan asked, "What if he can even accommodate people from the Western Regions?"

Duke Li paused for a moment, remained silent for a long time, and said:

"Then he is your Majesty's greatest rival."

"When the winds and clouds come together, no one can foresee the future. People like you and me can only walk with difficulty in this vortex, right? Everything we do is what we should do with our status."

"If he could have such courage and broad-mindedness."

"Then he himself is the source of the storm in this chaotic and strife-ridden world."

"What dissatisfaction do you and I have with being able to serve as a stepping stone for such a person?"

Duke Li chuckled and said casually:
"It's just fate, it's just the world, in such a chaotic world, that's how it is."

Li Guan took a big step towards the prisoner camp. All these people had been stripped of their armor and weapons. They all knew they were going to die, and their faces were pale. When they saw Li Guan taking a big step towards them, their faces were trembling with fear.

Li Guanyi's magnificent move had already left a shadow in their hearts, and they shouted in unison:
"General Tianwei!"

Fan Qing said, "My Lord."

Li Guan looked at him and asked, "How is it?"

Fan Qing said: "...We left behind a lot of weapons and armor. I have sent a message to Changsun, asking him to bring the food and fodder he brought out from Xiyi City, but it can't sustain the consumption of so many people."

Li Guanyi said a few words, Fan Qing nodded, and brought the food harvested on the battlefield. The captives looked pale. Li Guanyi said: "You all know me. I don't want to harm your lives, but the food is not enough."

After these words fell, everyone turned pale, and a warrior said:

"Ha, I see! It's nothing but death!"

"I am a general of the Shatuo tribe. Although I am not on good terms with Helian, I am convinced by your taking off his head. I have never seen a general like you in the world. Even if I die under your sword, I will not be considered to have humiliated my father!"

"Come on, start killing from me!"

When Li Guanyi saw him, he stretched out his hand to grasp the sword and drew it. The fierce general, whose surname was Zhu Xie, was still brave among the defeated army. He stood tall and glared at Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi brought down his sword, but did not kill him. He just cut his rope.

The brave general was stunned. Li Guan put his sword to the ground and said:
"There are injured people standing up."

"You can take some food with you and go back. There is no hatred between you and me. It's all because of Helian Jieshan. I have killed him, and I don't want to kill you. There is not enough food, so some of you stay and some of you go back!"

"Don't mention weapons again."

"If you do it again, I will kill you without mercy."

Many brave soldiers from the Western Regions thought they were going to die, but they were surprised to find a way out of the desperate situation. When they saw Li Guan holding a sword in one hand, they trembled in their hearts, and their fear and obedience arose in their hearts. They kowtowed and left. Another ten thousand brave men, as well as their captains and generals were left behind.

They removed their weapons and armor and handed them over to Fan Qing.

The young warrior with the surname Zhu Xie looked at Li Guanyi's back with complicated feelings.

Li Guanyi had returned to the city on his warhorse. The people in the city had closed the city gates. They could only hear the sound of fighting outside, but they did not dare to look. Only the old man in the city organized the young and strong men in the city, holding the weapons that had been thrown away, and decided to die once the city was breached.

Li Guanyi stretched out his hand. The city gate was in ruins without many soldiers to defend it. With the power of the master, no one could stop him. He pushed the city gate open easily. The people were trembling in their hearts and wanted to die.

But they saw the general who had gone to the battle coming back. They were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. In the quiet atmosphere, only Li Guanyi was leading his war horse. After two battles in one day, it was almost dusk and he walked into the city.

"I'm back, and the city's crisis has been resolved."

The setting sun was blood-red, and the young general was covered in blood. He saluted the tens of thousands of people with his arms crossed, and said:
"I always keep my word when I speak!"

The young general raised his head and smiled brightly:
"is not it?"
