Chapter 061 [Evil News Again and again]

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

A hurried knock on the door came from outside the door, followed by Li Zhi's voice: "Lord, General Zhou Yu sent someone to report that Cao's army in the north bank camp had an unusual movement late at night!"

"Uh———Bangbangbangbang!"

In amazement, Li Li quickly turned over and stood there, ran over barefoot, and opened the door with a "scarlet" sound.

"What are the abnormal movements? I have allowed Zhou Yu to do things cheaply, so why do you need to ask for instructions!"

Li Zhi responded: "Report to the lord, it is not only Cao Cao's troops who move in the middle of the night. The defenders of Yecheng City are also frequently mobilized, and the lights are bright and noisy, as if something big happened. When General Zhou Yu discovered that Cao's army camp was different, Cao Cao and his troops had already left the North Bank camp and disappeared. Soon after, fierce battles broke out at the south gate of Yecheng. Cao Cao ordered people to send Zhou Yu to report to Yecheng, claiming that tonight was a good opportunity to attack Yecheng and asked him to send troops to reinforce. Therefore, General Zhou Yu ordered his personal soldiers to come to ask the lord whether to send troops to reinforce Cao Cao and attack the city overnight?"

"Yuan Jun is frequently mobilized, and the city is brightly lit?" Li Li changed his expression when he heard the sound, and his anger suddenly surged on his cheek, scolding: "Why has such an important news been delayed and it was not reported until now? Zhou Yu,,," In a rage, Li Li wanted to question Zhou Yu, but the words came to his mouth but stopped abruptly.

Then he tried his best to restrain his anger, forced himself to calm down, turned around and walked into the inner room, waved to Li Zhi to come forward to help him put on armor, and murmured in confusion: "Zhou Yu has always been cautious and thoughtful, why would there be mistakes tonight? Isn't this what Gongjin did?"

Seeing Li Li talking to himself in a low voice, Li Zhi did not dare to say much. He quickly took out the soft armor and war armor and carefully put it on Li Li, and was very skillful in his movements. Obviously, he often put on the armor for Li Li. But tonight was different from the past. Li Zhi was particularly careful. He first put on a soft armor thin as silk, then put on a armor for him, and finally put on knee-length boots for him. After doing this, he held Li Li's pocket and followed him lightly, followed Li Li out of the inner room and walked into the tent.

Li Li, who was dressed in full, slowly walked to the coach's desk and sat down. The anger on his face had dissipated and his expression calmed down. He sat in the generous and soft coach's position without saying a word, concentrating and contemplating.

Tonight is indeed very long. He had sent Guo Jia, who was sleepless late at night, and then Gongsun Zan and Ke Bineng came again. After half an hour of conversation, the two bowed and left. Only then did Li Li go back to his room to rest. Unexpectedly, less than an hour after he fell asleep, he finally fell asleep. Li Zhi knocked on the door again, and brought such a message that surprised him deeply.

It's so abnormal! The atmosphere is abnormal, things are abnormal, and even Zhou Yu, who has always reassured him, acts extremely abnormal. There must be a certain connection behind these abnormalities, and there are unpredictable crises hidden.

This is Li Li's conjecture. It comes from his keen intuition about danger, that is, the stress instinct for danger. Although this feeling is unfounded, he firmly believes that his intuition will not make mistakes and believes in his instinct premonition when facing crisis.

Inexplicably, Li Li sat in the empty tent and smelled a strong and murderous aura, and these extremely depressing auras were all for him. But he couldn't figure it out, couldn't find the source of danger, and could not guess where this crisis hidden in the darkness was lurking.

As of now, the one Li Li was most worried about was Cao Cao. He was sure that Cao Cao would not be willing to let him go, and his meek and easy-going expression would inevitably be brewing a huge conspiracy, or that Cao Cao was planning a bottomless trap, trying to lure him Li Li to the edge of the trap step by step, and then push him down. But this was just a speculation without any basis, purely a suspicion of judging others by oneself, unexplained and unreasonable, and no reason.

In fact, until now, Cao Cao did not show any sign of betraying the alliance against Yuan, betraying him, Li Li, and turning against him. On the contrary, Cao Cao had tried his best to attack Yecheng. More than 50,000 troops were wiped out, and now only a few thousand people were left, but he still did not give up attacking the city. Even in the middle of the night, he led his troops to attack the south gate of Yecheng.

This is what Cao Cao did. Although it was a bit abrupt in Cao Cao's leadership of his troops to attack Yecheng overnight, he did not exceed his authority. Because Cao Cao was the chief general of the former army, he had the right to decide to launch an attack on Yecheng at any time, even if he attacked the city in the middle of the night, it was within his authority. What's more, since ancient times, there has been a way to adapt to the orders of the generals on the outside.

Zhou Yu, who was ordered to lead the army into the North Bank camp, was just a plundering camp for Cao's army. He would not send troops and soldiers to assist Cao Cao in siege before receiving Li Li's military order. Moreover, Zhou Yu also had the mission of secretly monitoring Cao's army, so he left the camp with Cao's front foot, and he immediately found out.

This is what Li Li was very annoyed with Zhou Yu. In the evening, he ordered Li Zhi to go and pass the order, and ordered Zhou Yu to keep an eye on Cao's army's every move. If there was any abnormal movement, he would be surrounded and even wiped out them all. However, now Cao's army left the camp silently, but Zhou Yu realized it later. It was not until Cao's army launched an attack at the South Gate that he knew where Cao's army was. What is this? Negligence or neglecting one's duties, or openly disobeying the military order?

Li Li roughly guessed why Zhou Yu made a mistake. All of this was because Zhou Yu was resistant to him or was dissatisfied with him. The source was when he led his army to the south and coerced Sun Ce to ask Sun Quan as a hostage, which led Sun Ce to bear the pain of separation of his brothers after his defeat in Jiangbei. In this matter, Li Li was indeed vicious and had the tendency to be open and honest. In addition, Li Li did not take into account the previous agreement with Zhou Yu, and seemed to break his promise and acted alone, regardless of Zhou Yu's feelings.

At the same time, the brothers Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are the favorites of the Tong family. He and Sun Ce are as close as brothers, and Sun Quan is naturally his younger brother. But now, Sun Quan has been taken to Chang'an as a hostage. Although a student named Tai Academy was actually imprisoned after entering Chang'an and was isolated from the world since then. Li Li also issued a strict order for this, and no one is allowed to visit him, including Zhou Yu and his wife Da Qiao.

In fact, when Zhou Yu learned that Sun Quan was sent to Chang'an, he immediately wrote a letter asking Da Qiao to try to give Sun Quan some care. Unexpectedly, Da Qiao could not see Sun Quan at all, and even asking Xiao Qiao to come forward to help would be useless. Therefore, Li Li's strict order seemed to be specifically targeting him, Zhou Yu. In this way, if Zhou Yu had no idea, it would undoubtedly be self-deception. After all, he is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he has feelings. It is reasonable to give Sun Quan some care appropriately when he thinks of his past affection. However, such a small request was stopped by Li Li's strict order. How could Zhou Yu feel without any emotion?

If you have emotions, you will act voluntarily, and the consequences of act voluntarily will inevitably lead to negligence and omissions. Just like now, thousands of Cao troops left the camp quietly, but Zhou Yu learned about it later and then hurriedly reported it.

Everything is accidental, but behind the accident is inevitable. This leads to differences and suspicion, and when these gather at a certain point in time and erupt at the same time, it will inevitably lead to a disaster.

At dawn, Li Li ordered Gao Shun's troops to stay in the camp and leave 10,000 war cavalry to obey his call. Then he personally led the Jinqiuwei, Huben Camp and Feixiong Camp to leave the camp and head straight for the north bank of the Zhang River.

"Report———! At midnight last night, a large group of people appeared thirty miles southeast of Yecheng. Never one of our army's hundreds of scouts were spared and were killed!" Less than three miles away from the camp, a blood-soaked scout school rushed towards him. When he arrived in front of Li Li, he flew off the horse, but his feet were unstable and fell to the ground. Even so, he reported the important military situation outside the east gate of Yecheng as soon as possible.

After hearing the sound, Li Li's expression changed slightly, and he instantly returned to calm. He asked quietly: "All scouts were killed at midnight last night. Why did you escape when you reported it? How did you escape?" As he spoke, Li Li clearly saw three sharp arrows inserted on the back of the military marquis, and several bloody wounds on both sides of his shoulders. At this moment, the armor on his body had been soaked in blood and was on the verge of fainting.

"Report,,,, lord, when Mo Zheng led the team to patrol an hour ago, he found that the scout outside the east gate had been killed for a long time. He learned from a seriously injured team that a army of tens of thousands of troops headed to the east gate of Yecheng in Zishi. Then the troops attacked the city in large numbers, and our scout was killed by a group of unidentified black men. The general led the team back to report the news and was intercepted by the group of black men. The three hundred soldiers in the team only Mo Zheng and more than ten personal soldiers broke out of the siege, and the other brothers were all dead."

"Well? Those tens of thousands of troops attacked the city in large numbers?" In amazement, Li Li's face no longer calm, instead he was a solemn face, frowned, and a deep doubt appeared in his eyes.

"The man in black who is unidentified?" Li Li was deeply surprised by this. Since it was not the sudden emergence of a large army and scouts, where did these black-clothed dead soldiers emerge? Who is the manipulator behind the scenes? Could it be Yuan Shao?

Just as Li Li was about to question further, the scout school fainted, "Take it down and treat it for the best students, and you must save him!"

Waving his hand to signal the personal soldiers to take him back to the camp, Li Li pondered: "At this time, there are still tens of thousands of troops coming to attack Yecheng, and only Cao Cao's tent has taken off his troops. But this army came so fast. Cao Cao only issued a military order three days ago, but he didn't expect that two reinforcements from day and night arrived. Is it really a rapid advance?"

Guo Jia, wearing armor, continued, "It's indeed strange. Outside the east gate of Yecheng, is the hinterland of Jizhou. How did this Cao army sneak into Jizhou? Where did he draw it from?"

"Forget it, instead of making a guess, it's better to go and see it yourself." Li Li shook his head slightly, waved his hand immediately, and signaled the army to continue moving forward.
