Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 463 A battle that determines both superiority and inferiority, and life and death! [2nd update]

Poyang Lake?
Silver helmet and silver armor?

Tiger-headed Spear Prodigy?
A courage that no man can withstand?

Combining these pieces of information, Cai Fu already knew who it was: it was Yu Hualong!
In some storytelling performances, Yu Hualong is also described as a disciple of Zhou Tong, and there's even a rhyme ranking them by martial arts skills:

One soars, two acts of righteousness, three transformations into a dragon, four acts of respect, five acts of courage, and six acts of martial prowess!

In the original novel "The Story of Yue Fei", Yu Hualong was not Zhou Tong's disciple, but his strength was very close to that of Yue Fei.

Yu Hualong was able to kill Niu Gao with several shots in succession, leaving him breathless and sweating profusely. Unable to withstand the attack, Niu Gao turned his horse and fled.

He fought a three-day battle with Yue Fei.

The first day's battle lasted forty rounds without a clear winner.

The second day of fighting ended in a draw.

On the third day, the battle continued until the afternoon with no clear victor. Yu Hualong then used a golden dart to ambush Yue Fei.

As a result, Yue Fei caught the golden dart and threw it back, breaking the bell hanging around Yu Hualong's mount's neck!
The horse was startled and jumped up, knocking Yu Hualong to the ground.

Instead of taking advantage of the situation, Yue Fei dismounted, helped him up, and told him to change horses and fight again.

Yu Hualong was convinced and joined Yue Fei's cause, becoming sworn brothers with him.

Actually, Yue Fei had quite a few sworn brothers, but Yu Hualong was definitely the best.

In the original novel, after Yue Fei was murdered by Qin Hui, the Yue Family Army learned of the news and rushed to Lin'an to avenge Yue Fei.

As the warships crossed the river, a sudden gale arose, and clouds and mist filled the air.

A large flag appeared in the sky, bearing the four characters "Serve the Country with Utmost Loyalty".

Yue Fei stands on a cloud, with Yue Yun on his left and Zhang Xian on his right.

The generals of Yue Fei's army wept and knelt before him on the bow of the ship, saying they wanted to avenge him.

As a result, Yue Fei forbade them to go.

Niu Gao forcibly ordered the ships to set sail, but Yue Fei flicked his sleeve, creating towering waves that capsized three or four warships.

Yu Hualong roared in anger, "How can you live in this world if your elder brother forbids his younger brothers from taking revenge!"

With a roar, he drew his sword and committed suicide.

He Yuanqing also shouted, "Now that Brother Yu has left, I've come too!"

He smashed his own head open with a hammer!

Upon seeing the two commit suicide, Niu Gao wept bitterly, then, with a splash, jumped into the Yangtze River.

The others said, "Since the marshal forbids us from taking revenge, let's return the warships to shore and go home together."

Then Yue Fei's army disbanded.

The Yue Fei in the original novel truly let down Yu Hualong and He Yuanqing, but fortunately, Yue Fei has been reformed by Cai Fu.

Furthermore, since He Yuanqing was adopted by Cai Fu as his godson, he certainly wouldn't die such a miserable death.

Of course, if He Yuanqing were not such a hero, Cai Fu would not have adopted him as his godson.

Yu Hualong was also a hero of this kind. Now that Cai Fu had met him, how could he not recruit him into his ranks?
"In that case, I'll go and get my revenge!"

Cai Fu said decisively, "What little general? I want to see what he's got the ability to hurt my brother!"

"Thank you for your kindness, brother, but Kanglang Mountain has more than three thousand lackeys, and that young general is as brave as ten thousand men..."

Li Jun realized that his approach to persuasion was inappropriate, so he quickly changed his angle:
"Besides, the world of outlaws is a place where the strong prey on the weak."

"When that young general was not around, my brothers and I overpowered Luo Hui and Wan Ruwei, and they then made me the leader of Kanglang Mountain."

"Now that young general has returned, he is as brave as ten thousand men, and he has taken back Kanglang Mountain."

"When will this cycle of revenge end? Let's just forget about it..."

Save it!
Li Zhu, who was lying like a corpse beside him, subtly pursed his lips:
If he doesn't avenge you, I'll take your surname!
Wait a minute, I...

Why do I have so much confidence in King Qi?
As expected, Cai Fu said confidently:
"The world of outlaws is a dog-eat-dog world, that makes sense!"
"Now that the young man has arrived, he can help Luo Hui and Wan Ruwei take Kanglang Mountain back!"
"Now that your brother is here, why can't he help you take Kanglang Mountain back?"

"That doesn't make sense, does it?"

"Ah this..."

Li Jun was speechless. Cai Fu had already made his decision: "Get a good rest tonight, and we'll go to Kanglang Mountain tomorrow!"

……

The next day.

Poyang Lake, Kanglang Mountain.

"Hey bro, have a bowl!"

Luo Hui and Wan Ruwei were having drinks with Yu Hualong.

Yu Hualong was young and originally didn't want to drink, but Wan Ruwei said, "What hero doesn't drink?"

Luo Hui also said, "Brother, we're offering you a toast, but you refuse to eat. Do you look down on us?"

Yu Hualong was inexperienced and didn't know how to refuse, so he reluctantly took a bite.

Seeing Yu Hualong's pale face turn rosy in an instant, Luo Hui and Wan Ruwei burst into laughter:
"That's a real hero!"

Luo Hui and Wan Ruwei wanted to persuade Yu Hualong to drink some more, but suddenly a henchman came running to report:

"Great King, Second King, Marshal Yu, something terrible has happened!"

"The three of them, 'River Dragon,' are back!"

"what?"

Luo Hui's face darkened: "They dare to come back?"

The henchman added, "They also brought a group of heroes, saying they want to have another match with Marshal Yu!"

"joke!"

Wan Ruwei curled his lip and said, "We have a strong army and a large number of soldiers. Why should we compete with him again?"

The henchman said timidly, "They were shouting and cursing down the mountain, and the insults they were using were really nasty..."

"Many brothers think they were right to criticize..."

"Ok?"

Luo Hui and Wan Ruwei's expressions changed, and they realized that many of the henchmen on the mountain were recruited by Li Jun.

When Li Jun and his men went up the mountain, Kanglang Mountain only had five or six hundred small fry.

After Li Jun and his men went up the mountain, they recruited soldiers and horses, and Kanglang Mountain has grown to its current size of more than three thousand followers...

Although those five or six hundred henchmen were the core, there were actually quite a few people who were loyal to Li Jun.

Luo Hui and Wan Ruwei caught Li Jun off guard, and their men surrounded Li Jun's residence.

Only then did Yu Hualong defeat Li Jun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng in a one-on-one fight, throwing the three of them out of Kanglang Mountain.

Now that Li Jun and his two companions are back, if they are not completely defeated, Kanglang Mountain may descend into internal strife...

Yu Hualong, his face flushed, slammed his hand on the table:
"I possess the courage of ten thousand men, and have yet to meet my match!"
"What are you afraid of? Let's compete!"

Luo Hui and Wan Ruwei thought about it and agreed. Yu Hualong was a man of unparalleled bravery. Who could defeat Yu Hualong?

"it is good!"

Luo Hui slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Gather everyone together, and let them give up completely this time!"

Wan Ruwei snorted coldly: "Don't listen to him, just stop there!"
"This time, we will determine who is superior and who is inferior, and we will also decide who lives and who dies!"

So Luo Hui, Wan Ruwei, and Yu Hualong gathered three thousand henchmen and came down the mountain in a menacing manner.

Once they reached the foot of the mountain, many of the underlings changed their minds upon seeing Li Jun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng on horseback.

They were originally Li Jun and Tong Wei and Tong Meng's former subordinates, and they didn't follow them down the mountain because they thought Li Jun and the other two were crippled.

But now, seeing Li Jun and his two companions riding majestically on horseback, they remembered Li Jun's good qualities again...

Little did they know that Li Jun had tied his lower body to the horse, otherwise his legs wouldn't have been able to clamp together properly.

Tong Wei and Tong Meng were in slightly better condition than Li Jun, but they were still gritting their teeth and forcing themselves to stay on the horse.

This was to shake the morale of their old troops, which is also the source of their confidence to propose another match.

【Don’t worry, there’s more to come】
