Late Yuan Dynasty: I am the true emperor

Chapter 28 Why are you dissatisfied? ! (Please read)
At the entrance of Dongsanshiliting village, under the scorching afternoon sun, Zhu Liangzu was surrounded and ready to die that day.

He pointed the iron spear in his hand and took the lead to attack Lu Jin, the culprit. However, before he could touch the corner of Lu Jin's clothes, Zhang Desheng next to him blocked it with his gun.

While Zhu Liangzu was trying to block, Lu Jin suddenly rushed forward, and the mace in his hand whistled fiercely as he smashed it fiercely into Zhu Liangzu's chest!

The blow was so powerful that Zhu Liangzu's pupils shrank. The mace in Lu Jin's hand was taken from his home. It was the weapon he usually used for martial arts practice. How could he not know its power?
If this really hits me, how can I still be alive? He quickly held his gun horizontally to block it.

The next moment, there was a loud clanging sound of metal clashing, and both sides were shocked so much that their hands became numb. Zhu Liangzu was even knocked back two steps and could not help but gasp.

"Hiss——this guy has great strength!"

Lu Jin on the opposite side was also very surprised. He was carried forward half a step by the inertia of the mace. After he stood still, he looked at the iron spear in Zhu Liangzu's hand with suspicion. There were only some scratches on the spear, and it seemed that there was nothing serious.

"It's not broken at all? It can't be made of iron, right?"

He actually guessed it right. The iron spear in Zhu Liangzu's hand was made of a bamboo shaft with an iron core, which could be considered the best material for spears and sticks in ancient times. As expected of a landlord, he must have spent a lot of money to make this iron spear.

"His gun has an iron core, let's attack together!"

The next moment, guns and sticks came out from the field, the sound of sticks whistling continued, and the sound of metal clashing continued.

The mace in Lu Jin's hand was indeed too heavy, with too much inertia, and it was easy for him to fail to retract the attack in time. If he fought alone, he might have been killed by Zhu Liangzu a long time ago, but now it was a group fight! !
Zhang Desheng beside him has been protecting him. Once he sees Lu Jin making a move, Zhang Desheng will definitely block it for him the next moment. Lu Jin is not afraid of anything and just relies on his great strength to attack fiercely.

He wielded the mace weighing dozens of kilograms with great vigor, which made Zhu Liangzu suffer in silence.

Yu Tingyu also held a big stick and kept hitting Zhu Liangzu's legs. He only hit him twice, which made him stagger and he was nearly stabbed to death by Zhao Zhongzhong. Whenever Yu Tingyu was in danger, his two sons, Yu Tonghai and Yu Tongyuan, would immediately step forward to protect their father.

Brothers Zhao Zhongzhong and Zhao Yong were no less impressive. They fired their guns at tricky angles and posed threats to Zhu Liangzu from time to time.

This is what it means when brothers fight tigers together and fathers and sons fight together in battle!

Zhu Liangzu really had martial arts skills. He was able to dodge and maneuver under the siege of the crowd, and his iron spear danced like a windmill.

But in the end, the tiger was no match for the wolves. After fighting for only ten minutes, it was completely defeated. It could only defend itself and was unable to fight back. Defeat was only a matter of time.

Zhu Liangzu panted heavily, and gradually came to his senses. This group of people obviously wanted to capture him alive, playing cat and mouse with him! Otherwise, he would have died long ago. How could he have survived until now?

But he had no choice but to be forced to perform the role of the teased mouse. Thinking of this, a feeling of humiliation surged in his heart, and the next moment, the moves in his hands became more fierce.

Outside the field, on the main battlefield, brothers Liao Yongjian, Liao Yongzhong, and Yu Tongyuan had completely wiped out Zhu Liangzu's 3,000 main forces. With their well-rested warriors, they faced the exhausted enemy and defeated the enemy at the first sight. The outcome was no longer in doubt.

The three of them felt that it was easier than the last time they fought Zuo Junbi. After all, it was their first time and they were quite nervous, and they had no experience in ambushes.

This time we have experience, morale is high, and the enemy is weaker than last time, so how can it not be easy to fight? !

The three men arrived at the battlefield at the entrance of the village and saw that the eight of them were still besieging Zhu Liangzu. They couldn't help but shook their heads. Yu Tongyuan, who was only 17 years old, immediately shouted when he saw this.

"Dad, big brother and second brother, I'm here to help you!"

"Get out of the way!" Yu Tingyu, his father and his two sons cursed in unison.

Liao Yongjian immediately laughed and said, "Eight against one, do we need your help? You have nothing to do, right? Go count the casualties and take in the prisoners."

"Oh." Yu Tongyuan curled his lips and went to work reluctantly.

After being beaten for half an hour, Zhu Liangzu was already exhausted and gasping for breath. Seeing that the fighting on the main battlefield had ended, Lu Jin and the other eight people launched another round of fierce attack.

Lu Jin found an opportunity and swung out with his mace. This time Zhu Liangzu could no longer defend himself. The iron spear in his hand was knocked to the ground with a clang, and his body was shaken and retreated three steps. Seeing this, Yu Tingyu swung his mace at the back of his knees, knocking Zhu Liangzu to his knees.

Brothers Zhao Zhongzhong and Zhao Yong took the opportunity to draw their guns and hold Zhu Liangzu's ribs on both sides. Zhang Desheng and Ye Sheng held his neck with their spears in front and behind. The iron spear that Zhu Liangzu dropped was kicked away by Yu Tonghai.

Looking at the muscular man Zhu Liangzu, who was kneeling on the ground with his bare hands and was restrained from all sides, Lu Jin swung the mace in his hand and pointed it directly at his crown.

"How's it going? Are you convinced?"

Zhu Liangzu glared with his eyes wide open, eyebrows raised, and cursed at Lu Jin.

"Bah! I don't accept it. How can you be a hero if you use your numbers to bully the few? With your mediocre skills, if we were to fight one-on-one, I would have shot you dead!"

"Behave yourself, a defeated general is still so arrogant." Yu Tingyu hit him on the back with a stick, and Zhu Liangzu groaned. "Hahahaha." Lu Jin didn't get angry when he heard it, but laughed instead.

"In a one-on-one fight, I may not be able to beat you, but we are two armies fighting each other. How can there be fairness on the battlefield? Then I will definitely use my numbers to bully the minority!"

After that, he turned to look at Liao Yongjian, "Brother Yongjian, how many casualties are there?"

Without waiting for Liao Yongjian to speak, Yu Tongyuan immediately said happily.

"Brother Lu, this time we only had a few minor injuries, which can be counted with two hands. We killed 1364 enemy soldiers in battle and captured 1638. None of our soldiers were killed in battle. This is a great victory!"

Zhu Liangzu opened his mouth in shock. He had never expected that within less than half an hour, his 3,000 main forces would be completely wiped out. What was even more outrageous was that not a single soldier was killed on the other side. What kind of incredible achievement was this? !
Then he caught a glimpse of Lu Jin looking at him smugly, with an expression that said, "Are you convinced this time?"

Zhu Liangzu was immediately furious.

"Bah! You only know how to use conspiracy and trickery, and you even kidnapped someone's family to threaten them. You are despicable and shameless, and you are such a villain. If you have the guts to fight me in a fair fight, I will definitely chop off your head!"

Before Lu Jin could say anything, Yu Tonghai, who had become a little fan of Lu Jin, immediately hit Zhu Liangzu in the stomach with a stick.

"What are you so proud of, you defeated general? No matter how powerful you are, you will still be captured by us!"

"Tsk tsk tsk"

Lu Jin made a clicking sound and had a look of regret on his face.

"Back then, you were able to kill Miss Jinhua in battle formation and became a general for your meritorious service. I originally thought you were a great figure, but I didn't expect you to be just that. You are just a fool without a brain. You are so mentally retarded that your words are worse than those of a three-year-old child. How can you be a general?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Liangzu was immediately furious and said, "You bastard, kill him if you want to, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin swung the mace in his hand and knocked Zhu Liangzu to the ground. Before he could get up, he pressed the mace on his chest. Zhu Liangzu closed his eyes and said nothing, looking like he was ready to die bravely.

However, he did not wait for the fatal blow that would hit his crown, but instead heard Lu Jin's disdainful words.

"You are worthy of being humiliated by me? Why did I humiliate you? As a general, haven't you read the Art of War?
"The Art of War by Sun Tzu says, 'Warfare is the art of deception. So when you are able, pretend to be incapable; when you are using something, pretend not to use it; when you are near, pretend to be far away; when you are far away, pretend to be near. Lure the enemy when it is profitable; take it when it is in disorder; prepare for it when it is strong; avoid it when it is strong; frustrate it when it is angry; make it arrogant when it is humble; tire it out when it is at ease; and alienate it when it is close.'

"'Attack when the enemy is least prepared, and take advantage of their surprise. This is the key to victory in military strategy, and it cannot be announced in advance.'

"'He who plans for victory before the battle has made many plans; he who plans for defeat before the battle has made few plans. Those who plan for victory will win, those who plan for defeat will lose, and what about those who plan for defeat without any plans?! From this perspective, the outcome is clear.'

“I surrounded Luzhou but didn’t take it in order to lure you to come for help. You could say that you fell into my trap the moment you saw Zuo Junfu’s messenger asking for help.

"The Art of War says 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger', but you, a fool, know nothing about the enemy. You have the precedent of Zuo Junbi's annihilation, but you are not alert at all, and you don't even think about how Zuo Junbi died? Do you think you can conquer the world with martial arts? This is arrogant, and arrogant soldiers will surely fail!
"I see that your troops are highly motivated and your soldiers are strong. You are not an easy army to defeat. So I will lead you to Luzhou first, and then transfer you back to the army when you are almost there.

“The Art of War says that ‘a general should not raise an army in anger’, but you, a fool, were easily angered by me. When you learned that I had asked your family to go with you, you instantly lost your mind. You didn’t understand the enemy’s situation and ignored the soldiers’ fatigue. You just forced them to march, and thus fell into my strategy of tiring them out.

"Even with all this deliberate planning, I am still worried. I have never met you and know nothing about your style and character. I am afraid that your reaction will be beyond my control, so I sent Ye Sheng to play psychological warfare on you, deliberately revealing false numbers of soldiers to you, deliberately telling you that Zuo Junbi died from the betrayal of his subordinates, thereby weakening the fact that he died in an ambush, so that you can relax your vigilance.

"When you heard that I kidnapped Yin Congdao's family, you felt the same way and were furious. Didn't you know that you had fallen into my psychological warfare? You thought I could only use despicable means and was afraid of fighting, so you looked down on me.

"'To plan more means victory, to plan less means no victory, and what about to plan nothing at all?' I have made so many plans, and yet you, a reckless man, went out to fight without any plan, and I easily led you astray. Everything from beginning to end was in my plan, and your every thought and action was in my control.

"How can you beat me?!

"Why do you refuse to accept?!"

Lu Jin's words reviewed the entire plan of this time, and the Chaohu generals present were fascinated by what they heard. It was this god-like man in front of them who could come up with such a brilliant strategy and lead them to easily defeat the once invincible enemy.

Zhu Liangzu opened his mouth wide after listening to this. Only after listening to Lu Jin's review did he connect all the events of the past two days together. Only then did he realize that he had been plotted against from beginning to end.

If that's the case, then the loss is not unfair.

When a general does not read the Art of War and does not use his brain when fighting a war, and now he has lost so miserably, even a proud man like him does not have the face to say a word of dissatisfaction. In the end, he just snorted and turned his head away, not daring to look at Lu Jin again.

"Brother Lu, this guy is so tactless, just beat him to death."
