When Li Rusong barged into the government office, Xiao Ruxun was dealing with the repair of the warehouse. He communicated with Liu Chenglong about this matter and arranged some things that the North Koreans could do. Li Rusong did not inform or hand over the visiting card. He pushed aside two guards who tried to stop him and rushed into Xiao Ruxun's office in an imposing manner.
"Xiao Ruxun! Why did you reject my plan? Why didn't you let me cross the river? "
Hearing this loud voice, Xiao Ruxun did not take it seriously. He comforted Liu Chenglong, who was inexplicably frightened. Xiao Ruxun sat firmly in the main seat and picked up a pen to write an order. He did not even look at Li Rusong who had barged in.
In the request for crossing the river, Li Rusong mentioned the plan of 5,000 cavalrymen to raid Pingyang City to avenge the 1,000 loyal soldiers of Liaodong. It was very detailed, and he also mentioned how to avoid repeating the mistakes of Zu Chengxun. However, it was decisively rejected by Xiao Ruxun.
"Xiao Ruxun! I asked you a question! Why didn't you reply to me?! "
Li Rusong was even more annoyed.
Xiao Ruxun wrote the last word seriously and handed the order to Liu Chenglong. Then he picked up another order and continued writing. He said while writing, "I have my reasons for my military orders. Commander Li only needs to obey them. I don't care that you crossed the river without an order. Now go back and take care of the soldiers and horses, and wait for my orders."
"Humph! Order! " Li Rusong spat on the ground and said with a disdainful face, "I, Li Rusong, have been on the battlefield for 30 years. The number of people I have cut off is more than the number of rice you have eaten! How dare you order me? What right do you have to order me? Answer me! Why did you reject my plan?! "
Liu Chenglong had long heard of Li Rusong's name, but he had never met him. He had long heard of the temper of the Young Master of the Liaodong Army, but he did not expect that he would be so unruly in front of the commander of the Heavenly Army. Now he was afraid that something bad would happen.
"Li Rusong, this supervisor is the military commander appointed by the imperial court. You are this general's subordinate. Just based on this, this supervisor can order you around! A subordinate contradicts the commanding general in public and speaks rudely. This supervisor can also punish you according to the law, don't you know? As for rejecting your plan, it's because I have another plan. I want to annihilate the enemy in Pyongyang, but five thousand cavalrymen are not enough! "
Xiao Ruxun put down his pen, narrowed his eyes, and stared coldly at Li Rusong.
"Humph! Commander in Chief of the Army! Annihilate the enemy in Pyongyang! "Li Rusong sneered," Don't take a chicken feather as a token of authority! Don't think that you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth just because you are an earl. I dare to scold the governor, beat up the political officials, and beat up the scholars. When they see me, they all lower their heads and take a detour! Not to mention you! Don't even mention annihilating the enemy in Pyongyang!
Do you know how much it costs to annihilate the enemy in a siege battle? You, Commander Xiao, are famous for cherishing the lives of your soldiers in Ningxia. In the whole of Ningxia, three thousand people died in battle. Why? Do you plan to lose thirty thousand people in this battle in Pyongyang? We'll use a small number of troops to attack Pyongyang and defeat the Wokou pirates. Then, we'll use the least amount of losses to force them to retreat. Then, we'll take back Pyongyang and shock the Wokou's morale.
"Commander Li, I naturally have my reasons for my plan. In order to wipe out the Wokou pirates and make them unable to rise again, I must wipe out all of the enemies in Pyongyang. You only want the city, but not only do I want the city, I also want the lives of all the pirates in the city. Furthermore, the road leading to Pyongyang is filled with potholes and mud. I am currently ordering people to repair the road, so the cavalry will not be able to pass through. There is no need to discuss this further."
"No need to discuss again? Little brat, I have fought on the battlefield for thirty years, and there is no one who dares to speak to me like this except my father. See if I will pay attention to you. You can go and see if there is a need to discuss again! If you don't want to fight, I will! "
Li Rusong was about to leave when Xiao Ruxun slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at Li Rusong and shouted angrily, "Li Rusong! I don't care that you have repeatedly insulted me, but you disobeyed my orders and threatened the commanding general. This is a taboo in the army! According to the law, you should be beheaded. I will give you twenty strokes as a warning to others for your hard work! Left and right, take down Li Rusong with me! "
If it were soldiers from other places, they might not dare to make a move against the famous Li Rusong, but Xiao Ruxun had asked Wu Weizhong for the Zhejiang soldiers in the southern army system. The soldiers led by Qi Jiguang were never afraid of Liaodong's famous generals, and they didn't put Li Rusong in their eyes. Under Xiao Ruxun's order, six or seven Zhejiang soldiers rushed to Li Rusong's side and stretched out their hands to capture him.
"How dare you!"
Li Rusong was proud and fierce. He wanted to fight back, but who would have thought that after he knocked over a Zhejiang soldier with a punch, two more Zhejiang soldiers would grab hold of one of Li Rusong's arms. Li Rusong struggled with all his might, but he couldn't break free. With this pause, two more Zhejiang soldiers rushed forward and grabbed hold of Li Rusong's legs. The four of them lifted Li Rusong's limbs into the air. Li Rusong had nowhere to borrow strength, and he struggled with all his might, but he couldn't use any of his strength.
"Ah!!! Nu 'er! Come and save me!! "
Li Rusong shouted towards the door. Following that, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard from the entrance of the office. Xiao Ruxun focused her eyes and saw a fierce-looking general with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was wearing a fur coat and brandishing a greatsword as he charged in with unstoppable courage. Not even three to five Zhejiang soldiers could stop his blade.
Nu 'er … hehe … Nurhachi!
I finally see you!
The killing intent in Xiao Ruxun's heart soared, and she almost gave the order to kill Nurhaci on the spot, but she immediately controlled this impulse — now was not the time to kill Nurhaci, he still had a place to use his skills. If he was killed now, not only would the Jurchen cavalry be in danger of rioting, it would also be a pity. Moreover, if they killed Nurhaci, Nurha Lan and Nurha Lu might appear. Keeping Nurhaci alive would give them an advantage in the future, so Nurhaci could not die yet.
"Left and right, capture that general with me!"
Xiao Ruxun gave another order, and more Zhejiang guards rushed forward. A wolf lance was thrust towards Nurhaci's face. Nurhaci was shocked, and hurriedly raised his saber to block. Who knew that this strange weapon would actually make a turn, and the force was so great that the saber in Nurhaci's hand almost fell from his hand.
Nurhachi tried his best to steady himself, but two more people brandished their spears and attacked his lower body, forcing him to block left and right. He was accidentally stabbed in the stomach by a stick, and cried out in pain. Then, he was hit in the face by another stick, and fell to the ground with a muffled groan. The helmet on his head fell to the ground, revealing the rat tail that disgusted the Han people for hundreds of years. Immediately, some guards rushed up with hemp ropes and tied up Nurhachi, who had been beaten senseless.
On the other side, Li Rusong wasn't much better off. He was thrown to the ground by the four Zhejiang soldiers, and before he could regain his senses, someone pounced on him with hemp rope and tied him up tightly like a dumpling. At this point, even King Kong wouldn't be able to break free from the ropes, let alone Li Rusong. The thirty personal guards he brought along were all swept off their horses by Xiao Ruxun's Zhejiang soldiers, and their faces were all bruised and swollen. One by one, they were all tied up.
Liu Chenglong was so scared that he was trembling in the corner.
When Xiao Ruxun got the situation under control, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she worshipped him. She really worshipped him. This general was too awesome. He actually dared to tie up the insufferably arrogant Li Rusong. Wasn't this completely offending the Liaodong Army?
"Come on! Li Rusong has no respect for the military law, and has repeatedly contradicted me. Twenty strokes! The rest will be fifteen strokes! Execute immediately! "
At Xiao Ruxun's order, the guards immediately picked up Li Rusong and Nurhachi and went out to beat them up. The sound of flogging was heard, and Li Rusong's loud voice never stopped.
"Ah! Xiao Ruxun! How dare you hit me! How dare you … Ah! How dare you hit me! How dare you hit me! How dare you hit me! Ah! "
However, Nurhachi clenched his teeth and didn't say a word. He was quite strong-willed, but he also suffered an undeserved disaster.
These twenty strokes were ruthless, beating Li Rusong to the point that he couldn't get up. The other thirty personal guards weren't really injured, and a few of them could get up. They immediately went forward to support their general, but they were pushed away by Li Rusong with a slap. They forced themselves to raise their upper bodies, and their eyes seemed as if they could spit fire.
"How dare you hit me? Xiao Ruxun! How dare you hit me! "
"Li Rusong! Considering your outstanding military service, I didn't punish you severely, but this time, there won't be a next time! If there is a next time, I will definitely kill you in front of the army! "
Xiao Ruxun stood up and shouted. Li Rusong was angry and immediately wanted to talk back, but he was stopped by Nurhachi who covered Li Rusong's mouth, "Commander Xiao! I know my mistake! I know my mistake! Commander Li has a bad temper! I ask Commander Xiao to give us a way out and allow us to atone for our mistakes! "
Li Rusong struggled even more violently. Nurhachi clenched his teeth and slammed his palm on the back of Li Rusong's head. Li Rusong's eyes rolled and he fainted. Nurhachi prostrated on the ground and said loudly, "I ask Commander to give us a way out!"
Xiao Ruxun originally wanted to teach Li Rusong a lesson, but who knew that Nurhachi was so determined and quick to react. He had no excuse to make a move.
"You are the leader of the Jianzhou guards, Tong Nu Er Hachi, right?"
Xiao Ruxun narrowed his eyes and looked at Nurhachi.
"Yes, it is I!"
"Hmm, you're a sensible person. If Li Rusong was half as sensible as you, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Go back and reorganize your cavalry. Let's move the rations and supplies together. Don't cause any trouble!"
Nurhachi said, "I will obey!"
"Let's go!"
Nurhachi breathed a sigh of relief. He called for people to lift Li Rusong up and help him along the way. The group of people limped out of the office. They did not dare to stay for a moment. They rushed to the shore and drove the boat to the north bank. Then they brought Li Rusong back to the barracks at night to keep a close watch on him.
Looking at their backs as they left, Xiao Ruxun nodded slowly. The more he wanted revenge, the more military merits he needed. Only then would his fighting will be stronger, and he would use the Jurchen cavalry more fiercely. The fiercer he used, the better. As for whether he would offend the Liaodong Army and Li Chengliang, Xiao Ruxun was not worried at all. Perhaps the emperor would know the news here in a few days. Xiao Ruxun dared to bet that Zhu Yijun would be very happy.
