Chapter 155 [Watching the beacon fire, arrogant soldiers and warriors]

"If Li was not mistaken, Brother Ziyuan suddenly returned to the city this time. I guess it was because my Xiliang Iron Cavalry had already arrived at the city?"

Wu Yi was stunned when he heard the sound, subconsciously nodded, and simply said frankly: "It is indeed as the general said. The last general was reported half an hour ago. The enemy general Li Xian, uh, the younger brother of the general, Li Xian, led his army to capture the counties of Ba County, captured Jiangzhou, and recovered the entire territory of Ba County. Five days ago, he led his army to capture Fushui Pass and is now leading 30,000 cavalry to Chengdu.

At the same time, General Zhao Yun's troops under the seat of the general, advanced rapidly, and had already conquered Shu Road and Guanghan County, attacking cities and villages along the way, with an unstoppable momentum. At present, General Zhao Yun is leading an army of 100,000 to attack Shu County, forming a two-way attack with Li Xian's army, approaching Chengdu."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Yi added: "From the speed of the advance of the general's army, at the latest of this evening, more than 100,000 troops under the general's army will be at the city."

Li Li didn't seem surprised after hearing this, and nodded slightly with a calm expression, and said with a smile: "What was expected is just two days later than the plan. I think the road along the way is not going well and I encountered some trouble. Fortunately, they finally fulfilled their mission and arrived in time. The flaws do not cover up the merits, which can be rewarded."

Wu Yi was stunned when he heard the sound, rolled his eyes subconsciously, looked at Li Lijun's confident smile for a moment of speechlessness, and the storm of waves broke out deep in his heart, and the horror was endless.

This is too relaxed and casual, just like casual chatting, which made Wu Yi truly realize what the domineering and majesty of a king is. It is truly worthy of being the overlord of the world. It is no wonder that he can dominate Xiliang for many years. This expression and demeanor are the unparalleled king. Just because of Li Li's transcendence and aura of the mountains and rivers, it is not comparable to that of Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou. It is simply a world of difference and cannot be compared.

Speaking of which, Wu Yi had only met Li Li once before, which was the battle at Yangping Pass during Hanzhong.

That battle allowed the generals of Yizhou and tens of thousands of Yizhou soldiers to truly see the power of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry and Li Li's unparalleled strategy, so that more than 30,000 soldiers, including Zhao Wei, Wu Yi, Zhang Ren, etc., who survived after the war, were very secretive about the real situation of the Battle of Hanzhong, and never mentioned the unbearable experience of Hanzhong, and even firmly denied the fact that he was defeated and captured.

For this reason, all the surviving Yizhou soldiers unified the same caliber from top to bottom, unanimously claimed that Zhang Lu, Hanzhong secretly colluded with Li Li to frame the Yizhou army that went to reinforce, and the army was ambushed by the Western Liang army. Jiameng Pass was lost. The entire Hanzhong area fell into Li Li's hands. Until today, many years have passed since the Battle of Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang, the governor of the state, was still kept in the dark. He still did not know that Zhao Wei led the army to reinforce Zhang Lu's battle in Hanzhong, and all the soldiers of the army were captured from Zhao Wei, including Zhang Ren, Lei Tong, who was entrusted with important tasks by Liu Zhang, and Wu Yi, who was sitting in front of Li Li at the moment, and other Yizhou generals who held real power, including Zhao Wei, the rebel leader Zhao Wei.

In short, all the soldiers in Yizhou who participated in the Battle of Hanzhong were wiped out. All of them became prisoners of the Western Liang army, while all the generals led the troops were imprisoned by Li Li.

After being captured, the main generals such as Zhao Yi, Wu Yi, Zhang Ren, Lei Tong were all detained separately, and they were delicious and delicious, and they met Li Li alone. However, when they met alone, Li Li had said something to them and what they had promised Li Li, except for the parties involved, but others had no idea. Afterwards, Wu Yi, Zhao Yi and other generals were all silent, without mentioning the matter, and did not communicate with each other, assuming that nothing had happened. Immediately, Zhao Yi and Wu Yi and others gathered together to discuss, responded to Liu Zhang's inquiry, and wrote a war report together.

Not only that, in order to avoid excessive talk and leaking rumors, after the army retreated to Shu Road, Zhao Wei discussed with all the generals and decided that all the soldiers involved in the Battle of Hanzhong were not allowed to return to Chengdu, and all the soldiers were dispersed and settled on the spot; some of the soldiers stayed in the Shu Road to continue to garrison the pass, and the remaining soldiers were all sent to Ba County to guard the border fortress. In the following half month, all the soldiers participated in the battle were sent to the border to guard the city, while the generals who returned to Chengdu were talking to each other and refused to admit the fact that they were captured by the Western Liang army. In this way, the truth of the Battle of Hanzhong was completely covered up.

Fortunately, the Western Liang army did not continue to attack after capturing Hanzhong, and did not publicize the capture of the Yizhou army. Over time, all the Yizhou generals who participated in the Battle of Hanzhong were all smoothly over the most difficult period, gradually putting this matter behind the scenes and pressing the truth to the bottom of the water, so that they could never surface.

After so many years, many people have forgotten the Battle of Hanzhong, especially the generals participating in the war, who are reluctant to mention the incidents of that year.

Unexpectedly, as Zhao Wei launched a rebellion, the Battle of Hanzhong was discovered again, and many unknown inside stories were spread to the counties under Yizhou one by one. Various rumors poured into the city of Chengdu and spread to the ears of Liu Zhang, the governor of the state. Fortunately, these rumors were all from Zhao Wei's army. Although Liu Zhang was suspicious and jealous by nature, he could see the situation clearly. Even if he knew that these rumors were true, he could only pretend not to know and turn a blind eye. After all, Zhao Wei's rebels were coming in a fierce manner, and the situation in Yizhou was in a critical situation. At the time of employment, he could not destroy the city walls himself, and he also needed these generals to resist Zhao Wei's rebels. Therefore, these rumors were suppressed by Liu Zhang secretly instructed them to let them go and ignore them.

Even so, the negative impact of these rumors cannot be ignored and still affects the situation in Yizhou. The reason why the Zhao Wei rebels were able to grow rapidly and grow rapidly is not unrelated to these rumors.

The middle and low-level generals who participated in the Battle of Hanzhong have been promoted to varying degrees after so many years of experience accumulation and training. They were either station chiefs, military marquis or guards, and they had more or less power or troops. Therefore, after the scandal of being captured, they adopted a passive attitude towards the Zhao rebels, which invisibly encouraged the rebels' arrogance, resulting in a large-scale battle of the rebels besieging Chengdu.

Now, after finally defeating the Zhao Wei rebels, before they could take a breath, the Western Liang army launched a large-scale attack on Yizhou.

Unlike the Zhao Wei rebels, the Xiliang army had a fierce offensive and advanced rapidly. In ten days, it successively captured the northern and eastern counties of Yizhou. Therefore, the Xiliang army was far above the Zhao Wei rebels, and the speed of attacking cities and villages was several times that of the Zhao Wei rebels. Compared with the two, the Zhao Wei rebels were considered as grass dogs at best, while the Xiliang army was a giant beast swallowing the sky, sweeping across the counties along the way, and heading straight for Chengdu with a thunderous force.

As the Xiliang army launched a large-scale attack on Yizhou, the situation in Yizhou suddenly changed drastically, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was earth-shaking.

The attack on Yizhou by the Western Liang army was completely different from the situation when Zhao Wei rebels attacked Chengdu. As soon as the news of the arrival of the Western Liang army came out, the situation in Yizhou counties suddenly became chaotic, millions of people were in panic, and the families of major families were in panic all day long, and the entire situation was completely out of control.

What's even more terrifying is that Liu Zhang could have ignored the scandal of being captured before, but now that the "right master" is here, how can he still let it go and ignore it like before?

Haven't you seen that Zhao Wei, who had met with Li Li, has rebelled? Zhao Wei, who has always been highly trusted by Liu Zhang, has already rebelled against the Lord. What about the other generals?

As the leader of Yizhou, how could Liu Zhang not know that the reason why the generals under his tent assisted him in extermination of Zhao Wei's rebels was that they had a direct conflict of interest with Zhao Wei. The conflicts between the two sides could not be reconciled. Once Zhao Wei's rebellion succeeded, then the generals and prefects of Yizhou would lose their status and everything they had in existence would be left to a waste. Therefore, they would unite and do their best to assist him in extermination of Zhao Wei, thereby protecting their vested interests.

However, Zhao Wei had not yet completely defeated, but the Xiliang army under Li Li followed one after another and had already captured Chengdu city. What this means is that as long as you are not a fool, it is not difficult to see the huge crisis. A very simple truth: when the Xiliang army is coming, Yizhou is no longer protected, and the first one is Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou. The arrival of the Xiliang army means that he will face a major choice of life and death, either opening the city to surrender, or the city is destroyed and people are killed. There is no third way to choose.

Not only Liu Zhang faced a difficult choice, but all civil and military officials under Yizhou rule faced the same choice, including Wu Yi and Wu Ziyuan sitting in front of Li Li at this moment.

Therefore, when Li Li ran out of an olive branch to him, Wu Yi did not hesitate, immediately took over, quickly adjusted his mentality, and officially joined Li Li's command.

At this moment, watching Li Li Qingmao say indifferently that his army was two days late, Wu Yi was shocked and his mind was lost. Many thoughts surged into his heart, his thoughts were like a tide, and he was filled with mixed feelings.

As the saying goes, your family knows your own affairs.

Perhaps Li Li did not know how much impact the Xiliang army under his command had on the entire Yizhou situation after entering Yizhou, nor did he know how much deterrent the Xiliang army had on the people of Yizhou. However, Wu Yi, as a general of Yizhou, knew very well about these things, and empathized with them, and deeply understood them.

The reason why he suddenly returned to the city today was not only because he learned that the Xiliang army was about to be at the city, but also because he felt that Liu Zhang was ready to attack them, the generals who had been captured by Li Li. Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, he had to return to the city, take his family to the military camp, and stay with the Dongzhou soldiers he had formed himself, so as to ensure the safety of the family and the young.

What Wu Yi expected was that when he came to pick up his sister to the military camp, he actually met Li Li, the supreme commander of the Western Liang Army. All this seemed to be in the dark. His sister Wu Xian saved the entire Wu clan again and brought good news to him in confusion.

In a daze, Wu Yi truly felt the incomparable courage that Li Li had. Only a powerful overlord like him could control hundreds of thousands of terrifying arrogant soldiers.
