The south gate of Xiapi City is called "Baimen Tower" because its city tower is all built of white building materials.

After the rain, the sky is clear, and a rainbow runs across the sky, colorful, colorful, like a dream and fantasy, and it looks very beautiful.

However, this rainbow is not well-known to the world nowadays, and very few people really know its origin.

Therefore, although it has an unparalleled beauty and is the most magical and beautiful existence in the world, most people do not know how to appreciate its beauty, nor do they know that this natural wonder is extremely rare and precious.

Not only that, it is also regarded as an ominous sign of the heavenly phenomenon, and it is believed that bad luck will come where it appears.

Coincidentally, this rainbow appeared above the south gate of Xia Pi City at this moment, because it rained heavily overnight until afternoon.

However, there is no absolute in the world.

When most people still cannot understand the rainbow, some people know how to appreciate its beauty and beauty and its preciousness. Therefore, he stopped in the wilderness and quietly looked up at the dazzling rainbow, and his eyes watched without blinking as its colors gradually faded until they completely disappeared into the blue sky. The only person who knows how to appreciate the rainbow and is willing to postpone the war for it and stops to quietly watch it is Li Li Wenchang, the commander of the Western Liang Army.

As of the afternoon, after eight hours of bloody battles, Xia Pi City had fallen into Li Li's hands, but not all. To be precise, most of Xia Pi City was under the control of the Xiliang Army, but there was still a small area and a small group of people still fighting stubbornly. Moreover, this small remnant force threatened to fight to the end. It claimed that if there was a breath, he would not sit idly by and watch Li Li occupy Xia Pi City.

Looking back on the process of Li Li's army capturing Xia Pi. This morning, when the rain slowed down, he ordered the troops and horses to siege the city to surround three and one without attacking. He also retreated the troops and horses of Lei Bo's troops who captured the provincial capital's mansion in the city. In this way, Lu Bu, who was defeated in the East Gate, mistakenly thought that the situation was not irreversible and there was room for maneuver. So Lu Bu led more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry back to the city and returned to the aid of the provincial capital's mansion as soon as possible. When they arrived, they happened to encounter Lei Bo's troops retreating.

Seeing the rebels attacking the city retreating voluntarily, Lu Bu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and ordered the army not to pursue it so as not to be ambushed by the Western Liang cavalry. In the next two hours, Lu Bu's army was stationed around the provincial governor's mansion, while he and his subordinates racked their brains to think about ways to break through. But he was helpless and had no choice.

As noon approached, Lu Bu resolutely decided to lead his troops to break through the unguarded South Gate and retreat to Guangling. When he thought, as long as he could break out, he could summon troops from various counties, regroup and gather all the troops. At that time, there was no need to be afraid of the Xiliang army, and he was fully capable of fighting the Xiliang army head-on.

However, just as Lu Bu led his troops to leave the provincial governor's office, the situation suddenly changed. Jia Xu, the left military advisor of the Western Liang Army, led tens of thousands of infantry troops to the east gate of Xia Pi City, and placed many siege weapons in front of the formation, as if in a large-scale attack. Seeing the Western Liang army coming in full force, the East Gate defenders were frightened, and hundreds of defenders immediately abandoned the city and fled. Then they were out of control, and in a moment the East Gate defenders ran away, giving the East Gate to Jia Xu's army.

After easily capturing the East Gate, Jia Xu immediately dispatched troops and divided his troops to capture the Ximen Hezhou Mufu. Then Jia Xu's army marched straight in. In less than half an hour, he wiped out more than 4,000 enemy troops, captured five or six thousand surrendered troops, and conquered the Zhou Mufu.

After Li Li, who was stationed in the north gate, learned that Jia Xu had arrived, he immediately divided his troops into two groups and launched a full-scale attack. Among them, Huan Fei, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun led 20,000 infantry and cavalry directly to the south gate, set up an ambush outside the city, and intercepted Lu Bu's defeated army. The remaining troops were led by Li Li himself to the provincial governor's office, attacked Jia Xu's army forward and backward, and captured most of Xia Pi City in one fell swoop.

Sure enough, when Lu Bu learned that another reinforcement from the Western Liang army had arrived, he hurriedly led his troops out of the southern gate and tried to escape to Guangling. However, he was ambushed and was attacked by Huan Fei, who had rushed to the ambush outside the southern gate first. Ji Ling's army attacked him head-on, defeated Lu Bu and returned, and had to retreat back to the southern gate and defend the city.

However, Lu Bu, who retreated to the South Gate, was not a good person. He blatantly ordered the soldiers under the tent to demolish hundreds of houses and blocked all the roads leading to the South Gate, thus transforming a large area in the south of Xia Pi City into a relatively independent city, namely the Nancheng. Subsequently, Lu Bu and his thousands of remaining troops under the tent defended the Nancheng, resisted stubbornly, fought against trapped beasts, and claimed that they would fight to the end and never surrender.

A strange phenomenon appears in the sky, and a rainbow flows into the sky.

As the rainbow flew away, the scorching sun shone on the earth in the afternoon, and the outside of Xia Pi City was lush.

Outside the South Gate City, in front of Li Lile's horse formation, there were left and right sides of the left and right military advisor Jia Xu, and more than 20 military generals lined up one after another, followed by a total of 50,000 infantry and cavalry. What appeared in the eyes of the defenders on the city were flags and warriors. Looking around, the city was covered with dense Xiliang troops, with military power as prison and murderous aura.

"The lord waited for a moment, and finally came forward and shouted, letting that guy Lu Bu come out to answer!"

Huan Fei, who was standing behind Li Li, saw his lord staring at the top of the South Gate. He immediately raised his reins and wanted to go out to call, but Li Li waved his hand to stop him.

"No need, I don't have to say anything more than anything. Now, Gu and Lu Bu have nothing to say. Since this is the case, why bother to do this again?" Li Li sighed softly. Huan Fei, Xu Chu and other generals changed slightly after hearing this. A hint of joy flashed in their eyes, but they didn't dare to show it, because Lu Lingqi was by their side at this moment.

Obviously, Huan Fei and Xu Chu and other generals had deep prejudice against Lu Bu, or they were very dissatisfied with what Lu Bu did over the years, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they hated him deeply. Therefore, they were very worried that their lord would show mercy to Lu Bu again this time, or they were eager to take Lu Bu in their account. But now after hearing Li Li's words, they couldn't help feeling relieved and finally could feel relieved.

Since Li Li had nothing to say to Lu Bu, it means that Li Li did not have the intention to subdue Lu Bu. Since this time, Lu Bu was dead this time and no one could save him. Even if Lu Lingqi pleaded for mercy, it was in vain. This is because Li Li is not a person with weak ears. He never expresses his attitude easily, but once he expresses his attitude, he cannot change. No one can make him change his mind and take it back into his life. On this point, Huan Fei, Xu Chu and others believe it deeply, and are sure that no one can let his lord change his original intention.

Just as Huan Fei and other generals were secretly happy, Guo Jia said softly: "Since the lord has no intention of talking to Lu Bu, there is no need to go to the South Gate in person. Now our army has siege the Nancheng heavily. Just one order from the lord can completely destroy the entire Nancheng within two days, making it a ruin." It is obvious that Guo Jia, Huan Fei, Xu Chu and others have completely different views. He does not think that Li Li's words were made public, but instead think that Li Li's words were insincere.

Li Li shook his head slightly and said calmly: "Look at it again, look less and just give it a look to see off my old friends. Now, there are fewer and fewer old friends in the past, and most of the princes have been killed one after another. Now it is Lu Bu's turn. Gu has known him for many years, and now he has come to visit him, so he will be acquainted with him." Guo Jia looked surprised when he heard this, and his eyes were quite confused. So he turned his head and looked at Jia Xu, but saw Jia Xu shook his head slightly, and he couldn't grasp Li Li's intentions.

However, there is a word in Li Li's words that shocked Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Huan Fei and others, and there was a brightness in their eyes. This extremely critical but easily overlooked word is "同". In fact, they had heard this extremely special word from Li Li before, but they did not care. They just thought it was because their lord had a moment of speech and a mistake in the tongue. However, in recent times, they have repeatedly heard Li Li claiming to be "同" and now they hear it very clearly.

Since ancient times, those who are qualified to be called lonely and widowed are emperors, generals and ministers. Since the First Emperor unified the world, calling lonely and widowed is the exclusive title of emperor. Others definitely dare not overthrow it, otherwise it would be a crime of disrespect, and they would even be labeled as a traitor and beheaded all over the family.

Today, if we look at power and status, there are only two people who are qualified to be "orphan". Li Li will not give in to the top, followed by Cao Cao, who led the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. However, even so, the two of them, who regarded themselves as "orphan", still had the suspicion of usurpation, which was equivalent to plotting rebellion, which was like a tyrant and hidden the ambition of the emperor.

As soon as he thought of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but think secretly, suddenly remembering that Li Li had called himself "self-glorious" since the defeat in Yecheng. Suddenly, Guo Jia nodded with some understanding and guessed Li Li's intention to call him "self-glorious".

After the defeat in Yecheng, the morale of the entire army was low, and even the generals in the army were a little depressed. At this moment when the morale of the army was fluctuating, Li Li, as the commander of the entire army, directly affected the morale of the army. Because of this, after the defeat, Li Li not only did not feel depressed, but was as calm and cheerful as always, with a bright smile on his face, and openly called himself lonely, making his emperor's ambitions in the world public without any concealment. This move seems to have no effect, but in fact it has a huge impact. The most direct effect is to let the civil and military officials and generals who always follow him to sweep away the decay and boost their confidence.

In fact, this inadvertent transformation was effective, greatly encouraging the fighting spirit of the generals and thus affecting the soldiers of the entire army. This capture of Xuzhou was a heart-warming agent for restructuring the military's power, and a clean and neat battle to boost the morale of the entire army, allowing the soldiers of the entire army to emerge from the haze of Yecheng's defeat, regain their fighting spirit, and reappear the iron-blooded spirit of the invincible army.

Just as Guo Jia was thinking secretly, Li Li's voice came again in his ears: "Last night, Han Xian and Yang Feng died in the battlefield. Although they did not capture the East Gate, they still made great contributions. Their funerals were handed over to Feng Xiao, and they were buried with their official titles during their lifetime and properly placed their wives and children."
