The next morning, after breakfast, several lieutenant generals who had heard that Li Shao was planning to challenge the enemy camp alone, together with Zhuang Mingzhe, chased after the wind and went to Li Shao's tent.

Knowing that he could not be persuaded, he stopped trying and instead asked him to bring a few lieutenants, personal soldiers to be responsible for his security, and troops on standby to support him.

In the eyes of some soldiers, Li Shao's action was reckless, impulsive, and ignorant, but in the eyes of more soldiers, he was a true hero!

He has the courage that no one else can match. His spirit is truly admirable. With such a general in the army, there is no need to worry about the enemy not being defeated.

They shouted excitedly that they wanted to go with him. For a moment, even before Li Shao set out, their morale was very high.

Li Shao was very satisfied seeing this situation, and naturally rejected all those who wanted to accompany him to challenge.

As for the troops on standby, they were reluctantly allowed to follow, but they could only follow from a distance.

No matter how worried or unwilling everyone was, they had to hold it in. After all, in the army, what Li Shao said was the "imperial edict."

At this time, the commander of the Chu-Liao coalition was in the tent.

Several burly men in armor were sitting around the table, drinking and eating meat. They all had a lot of flesh on their faces and did not look like good guys at all.

However, one can tell from their bulging muscles and the hostility they exude that they are no ordinary people.

The most eye-catching person was Cheng Feng, who was sitting in the main seat. He had a full beard and a long scar running diagonally from the corner of his eye to his chin, which made him look even more ferocious.

Even when he was eating with his brothers, the two giant axes were kept within easy reach.

Cheng Feng and his brothers were enjoying their meal and drink, but Luo Yuanwu, who was sitting nearby, felt uncomfortable.

Before Cheng Feng and others parachuted in, Luo Yuanwu was the commander-in-chief of the Chu-Liao coalition forces. He was born into a prominent family, entered the officialdom through the military examination, and had a smooth life.

He had suppressed countless bandits in the State of Chu, but he never expected that one day he would have to sit in the same tent with this group of crude bandits, and he was still the one who was inferior to them.

This bunch of bandits were drinking and eating meat in their tent early in the morning. It was really disgusting to watch. Instead of formulating a battle plan to counterattack the Jing Kingdom’s army, they just ate and drank.

At this time, Cheng Feng suddenly said, "Deputy General Luo, you just moved your chopsticks a few times and then left the table. What's wrong? Is the food here so unpalatable to you?"

"I dare not. It is because I am not used to eating meat in the morning that I failed the general's kindness."

No matter how he complained in his heart, Luo Yuanwu still had his face ready. After thinking for a while, he said, "General, although the Jing army is on high alert, the spies have not been able to find out whether Jing Xiangyuan has been tricked."

"But judging from the previous situation, the Jing army should have continued to attack and pursue the victory. If they haven't sent out troops yet, it must be that Jing Xiangyuan is in trouble. Why don't we take this opportunity to counterattack?"

Although he didn't know how the Liao Kingdom had assassinated Jing Xiangyuan, Cheng Feng and others had said with certainty that the Liao Kingdom had sent people to deal with Jing Xiangyuan, and he would not live for many days.

Luo Yuanwu still didn't believe it, but now he had to believe it. He secretly sighed in his heart that the Chu Kingdom was still far inferior to the Liao Kingdom in terms of means.

Before Cheng Feng could say anything, Huang Kuan beside him sneered, "You also know that you are a junior general, not a commander! Whether to attack or not, and when to attack is up to our eldest brother, and it is not your turn to complain."

"That's right! He thought he was the head coach! Hahahaha" the people nearby also laughed.

Suddenly, Luo Yuanwu's face felt like it was being roasted in fire, burning and smelling terrible.

The feeling of humiliation filled his entire heart. He clenched his fists tightly and tried his best to restrain himself from conflicting with them. According to reliable sources, these bandits were extremely perverted and had eaten people alive. He alone was no match for them.

A few people teased him a few more times, but seeing that he didn't even dare to talk back, they felt it was boring and ignored him, turning around to continue drinking, eating meat and chatting.

During the whole process, Cheng Feng just stood by with a cold eye and did not stop his brothers from insulting Luo Yuanwu.

"Oh, big brother, why don't we send out troops to kill all of Jing's troops tomorrow? There are no women or boys in this place where we are camping, it's really hard to endure!"

"That's right. Let's charge over there and occupy the city. That will also help my brothers vent their anger. If this continues, I will have to run to Dingxing City to enjoy myself first."

"Old Four is right. Apart from women, I haven't killed anyone for a long time. My hands are itching!"

"You guys! Okay, we'll send out troops tomorrow! Kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor!"

"Hahaha! Big brother is so awesome!"

"Brother is mighty!"

Luo Yuanwu, who was standing by, heard these bandits speak crudely and treat war as a joke. They didn't care about strategic deployment and sent troops based on their mood. It was really...

At this time, the general in charge of guarding the perimeter of the military camp came to report: "General, all lieutenant generals, a man who claims to be the commander of the Jing army came to the gate of the military camp and is clamoring to meet you. He is holding the commander's token in his hand, which does not seem to be fake."

"Oh?! Interesting, they actually came to our door today. How many troops did they bring?"

"Back to General, there is only one person."

"What?! One person!" In fact, he had just said that he was the only one coming, but such an incredible thing was just considered a misunderstanding on his part. He did not expect that someone would actually dare to run to the gate of their military camp alone.

Cheng Feng sneered, "Then I really have to see what kind of person this so-called new head coach of the Jing Army is today."

Jiang Han said, "What kind of person is that? I think he is just a fool! He must be mentally ill to come here alone to challenge us. He doesn't take us seriously."

Others echoed.

"Of course, big brother, there's no need for you to take action against such a small character. Any one of us can kill him."

"Yes, brother, let me go! I'm going to chop him into minced meat!"

"No, let me go. I'm going to chop off his hands and feet and make him into a human pig to use as a urinal. Hahahaha!"

Several bandits were laughing wantonly, with bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes, and they were vying to kill Li Shao.

However, they were all rejected by Cheng Feng. He was the commander of an army, and naturally he was the only one who could put the commander of Jing army under his feet.

He immediately took his two axes, rode his horse and rushed to the camp gate. His brothers and the deputy general Luo Yuanwu naturally followed him.

When they approached the entrance of the camp, they saw a tall warhorse sitting on the open space in front of them. There was a young man with an upright figure. It was Li Shao.

The sunlight shone on his armor, reflecting a dazzling light, as if covering him with a layer of sacred glory.

His face was deep, his eyes were sharp, and his muscles were still clearly visible under the armor. One could tell at a glance that the power contained in it was truly extraordinary.

However, what shocked them was that they really only saw Li Shao. The terrain of Lin'an County, where the two armies were stationed, was open overall, and there were not many trees and grass around to serve as cover. If there was an ambush by the army, it would be easily discovered.

So Li Shao really came alone! Even if he was hiding, the army responsible for the support would not be close! This man is really a fool! The people on the Chu-Liao coalition side now have only this thought in their minds.

At the same time, Cheng Feng was ecstatic. He wanted to capture Li Shao alive and then torture him severely. When the war started, he would drag him to the front of the battle and humiliate him ruthlessly. He would ensure that the Jing army would lose all face and their morale would be broken. Hahaha!

As he thought of this, he quickly ordered the soldiers who had lined up in front of the door and the archers who had drawn their bows and were ready to shoot arrows at any time to stop. If they accidentally shot and killed the fool, his subsequent clever plans would be in vain.

Cheng Feng is the commander-in-chief, and his words are the highest orders, so all the soldiers naturally obey him completely.

However, what made Cheng Feng unhappy was that no matter he was being targeted by numerous arrows or when he ordered the archers to put down their arrows, Li Shao's expression on the horse in front of the door never changed. He showed no fear at all. Instead, he had an extremely dazzling smile on his face.

Seeing Cheng Feng and his men approaching him on horseback, Li Shao taunted, "Hey! You finally came out. What a waste of time! Are you a bunch of cowardly bandits so scared that your legs are weak? You crawled over here slowly."

"Who are you calling a bandit?! You idiot, it seems you really don't want to live long enough! You dare to run to the gate of our military camp alone. Our eldest brother will shoot you into a sieve with a single order!"

"Hey! You can't just shoot him to pieces. Capture him alive and cut off his tongue. See if he dares to talk nonsense again!"

"Hahaha! Cutting off his tongue isn't enough, cut off his nose and ears too!"

Although they were indeed bandits in the past, they are all officials now. How could they not be annoyed when Li Shao kept calling them bandits?

Facing their vicious curses and threats, Li Shao's face remained calm. Instead, he reached out and scratched his ears, "So noisy! Is this all you can do with your words?"

This look of not taking them seriously at all made them look like clowns. Just as they were about to lose their temper, they were stopped by Cheng Feng's eyes.

"There's no point in saying more. Let me see if your life is as tough as your words!"

After saying that, he squeezed the horse's belly hard and rushed towards Li Shao with two axes in hand.
