The sky is white and the dawn breaks.

The dew drops gradually fade and everything is blooming.

The branches and leaves with dew are green and tender.

Yunwu City.

Overnight, countless dramas were staged in the city.

The light of swords and shadows, love, hate, love, joy and sorrow, the most noisy and chaotic scenes in the world are interpreted one by one.

However, all of this went with the night.

The first ray of rays of rays of rays shine on earth in the morning, driving away darkness and ushering in light, and all the haze dissipates.

The laughter and tears, hatred and blood, fame and fortune and glitz in the middle of the night were all buried under the morning glow and floating in the rising sun.

Yunwu City under the morning sun is very quiet, with few pedestrians on the streets and alleys, shops, taverns and vendors all closed down.

On the four city gate towers, southeast, west and northeast, teams of soldiers stand upright with their chests, neat armor, and numerous soldiers. A bleak and solemn atmosphere fills the entire city.

The only change in the city is that the battle flag with the character "Han" flying high on the city tower in the past has now been replaced by two large flags. The battle flag with the character "Yan" is inserted on the east city gate and the north city gate, while the battle flag with the character "Han" is still inserted on the west city gate and the south city gate. However, next to the flag with the character "Han" is also inserted, there is a battle flag with the word "Cheng" embroidered on it.

Just from the two large and small battle flags, it is not difficult to see that a major event happened in the city last night. Yunwu City, which was originally gathered in the character "Han" battle, has now been divided into two, and the northeast and southwest half of the city confront each other. The city tower, which was originally connected to the four sides, also built a fence at the corner of the city tower due to the change of the battle flag. The two forces were clearly separated by the fences and each guarded half of their own city.

From the changes in the battle flag, it is not difficult to see that there was a fierce battle in the city last night, or internal strife. Two groups of people fought fiercely to compete for the ownership and control of the city. As a result, the strength of both sides was equal, regardless of the top and bottom. By dawn, both sides had to stop their troops and quit the battle and rule. Each occupied half of the city.

Time slowly fades away as we wait.

The sun slowly moved, and regardless of the attitude of the earth, it spread its hot enthusiasm to the world, showing off its dazzling glory and powerful energy.

There are two poles on the sun, and it is noon.

Under Yunwu City.

Li Zheng's troops led 30,000 infantry and cavalry to go outside the North Gate City, and Guo Si's troops led tens of thousands of combat cavalry to approach the South Gate City. Li Li personally led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to slowly advance to the east gate. Only the west gate was ignored.

It’s noon on the sun, and it’s noon until afternoon.

“Cruff——!”

As a crisp and loud sound spread, the East City Gate suddenly opened wide, and the suspension bridge on the moat slowly fell.

"Bang!" When the suspension bridge slammed into the ground, thousands of soldiers rushed out of the city and rushed out of the city gate. From the suspension bridge to the city gate, they lined up in order, quickly lined up to welcome Li Li's army into the city.

Li Li's army in front of the formation.

This time, Li Li's outfit was different from when he attacked Ma Teng. Last time he wore a long gown and talked to Ma Teng, but today he was wearing a dark red brocade robe. He wore a dark gold purple jade crown on his head and a golden chain mail. He wore a python-patterned lion strap on his waist, auspicious cloud-covered boots, a golden beast king mount under his crotch, and a golden iron-backed sword in his palm.

He is wearing a military armor, majestic and imposing.

"Report to the lord, I will be guilty. The information I sent to me was wrong last night. The city was very chaotic last night, and the shouts of killing were shocking, and the fighting was stopped until dawn. Now it seems that Cheng Gongying sent someone to send a letter of surrender last night was very likely to be a fraudulent surrender. The purpose was to stabilize our army so that our army would not capture the city overnight while the internal strife in the city. However, Yan Yan did not send anyone to send a letter of surrender last night, but how could he take the initiative to open the city to ask for surrender now?" Just as Li Li squinted his eyes and looked at the battle flag flying on the top of the city, Li Zhi reported the report in a low voice.

After hearing this, Li Li smiled indifferently and said with a smile: "It's okay. In fact, our scouts found out the changes in the city last night after dawn. Last night, Han Sui died suddenly, Yan Xing was assassinated in the bridal chamber and was severely injured. His newlywed wife Han Ling was cut by a thief with a short dagger. Then, Han Sui's confidant general Cheng Gongying rushed over and suspected that Han Sui and Han Ling were both killed by Yan Xing. He led his troops to attack the county magistrate's office and tried to kill Yan Xing to avenge Han Sui. Immediately afterwards, Yan Xing's troops fought fiercely with Cheng Gongying's troops, and the two sides fought overnight. As a result, Cheng Gongying's troops were outnumbered and led their troops to retreat to the southwest half of the city, while Yan Xing still occupied the county magistrate's office and the northeast half of the city. Until now, the two sides are still in a stalemate and can't argue. Hahaha---"

When Li Zhi heard this, his expression relaxed a little, nodded and retreated behind Li Li, and stopped talking.

After hearing Li Li's story, Dian Wuxia rode his horse to Li Li and whispered: "Husband, Cheng Gongying sent someone to send a letter of surrender, but he used a fraud to make our army miss the opportunity last night. Yan Xing did not hand over the letter of surrender last night, but now he opened the city gate to welcome our army into the city. What should we do now? Will we enter the city?"

"Hahaha!" Li Li said with a laugh: "Since Yan Xing has opened the city to welcome us into the city, how can my cousin refuse his good intentions? Zhang Liao obeys the order!"

"Please make an announcement." Zhang Liao rode his horse and responded respectfully.

"I will order you to lead five thousand gold guards to enter the city immediately to find out the truth. After entering the city, you will quickly lead troops to the county magistrate's office to protect my cousin Yan Xing and take over the city gate. If there is a fraud in the city, you just need to seize the city gate. My tens of thousands of troops will be waiting for the battle, and you can capture the entire city within one hour!"

"No, I will take the order!" Zhang Liao looked at Li Li with a slight surprise. He definitely did not expect that Han Sui's adopted son and son-in-law Yan Yan was the cousin of his lord. Then he bowed his order, beat the horse formation, waved his sword, and led the five thousand war cavalry straight to the East Gate Suspension Bridge.

Seeing Zhang Liao leading troops into the city, Dian Wuxia whispered to Li Li: "Will Yan Xing feel resentful when he asked Zhang Liao to lead his army into the city? Do you think you don't believe him? Besides, there is a force of resistance led by Cheng Gongying in the city. How do you plan to deal with it?"

"Hahaha!" Li Li smiled frankly and said, "The situation of Han Sui's troops in Jincheng is essentially no different from that of Ma Teng, Jicheng. The soldiers under their command have fought repeatedly with our army, and the two sides have deep grudges. After Jicheng was captured by our army, Jincheng has become an isolated army and will sooner or later be defeated. Yesterday, after our army met with Li Zheng's troops, if they attacked the city in large numbers, they would be able to forcibly capture the city. And this night, the soldiers and horses in Jincheng actually had internal strife, divided into two, and both morale and strength were far inferior to yesterday. Under such favorable conditions, our army captured the entire city like taking objects, and could be defeated in one battle. After our army took over half of the northeastern city, if Cheng Gongying refused to surrender and still resisted tenaciously, we did not have to hesitate and directly attacked.

Things that are too easy to obtain are often easily lost. Jincheng Han Sui's prestige in the counties of Liangzhou is still above Ma Teng, but he is dead now, which saves us a lot of effort. Cheng Gongying led his troops to resist, instead providing us with a good opportunity to show his military power, defeat him upright, shock the little girl and a group of waiting and watching clans, as well as the Qiang Di tribes and bandits waiting to be sold around.

As for whether cousin Yan Xing would be too careful, he must understand this. In troubled times, he should not have the intention to harm others, but he should be careful! Only by being prepared can he be free of trouble. Even if he is uncomfortable, he will not be too careful. When he is in a different place, he will be as cautious as me. My cousin is extremely cautious by nature and careful in his mind. If I do not make a temptation, he will look down on me and think that I am not enough to accomplish great things!"

After saying that, Li Li shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, and his words and deeds all revealed his understanding and respect for Yan Xing.

Dian Wuxia could not understand why Li Li valued Yan Xing so much.

In contrast to Li Li, Dian Wuxia was extremely disagreeing with Yan Xing's actions.

Judging from the information I have heard in the past two days, the deaths of Han Sui and Han Ling have some close relationship with Yan Xing, or in other words, both Han Sui and his daughter died indirectly or directly at the hands of Yan Xing. Han Sui is fine. After all, he is the great enemy of Yan Xing and even the Yan family, and it is understandable that Yan Xing wants to take revenge. However, Dian Wuxia was extremely resentful of Han Ling's death, thinking that Han Ling was innocent, and she was even a man who really liked Yan Xing and married him as his wife, but Han Ling died without understanding.

Because of this, Dian Wuxia had a very poor view of Yan Xing and believed that he was a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

After Zhang Liao led his troops into the city, he sent someone to send back the news not long after that Yan Xing did indeed surrender and there was no ambush in the city. In addition, the whistle cavalry also reported to Li Li a bad situation, that is, Yan Xing was indeed seriously injured, and was extremely injured, and his entire lower body had lost consciousness, and was now paralyzed in bed, and his life was in danger.

Li Li was shocked when he heard the news and immediately rushed into the city. After entering the city gate, he drove the Jinniu Beast King and rushed straight to the county magistrate's mansion.

County governor's office.

In the back dormitory, Li Li, who was rushing to see Yan Xing lying on the couch.

After a year, the two brothers finally met again.

During this meeting, Li Li and Yan Xing did not have any greetings, nor did they have any excitement of brothers meeting each other. On the contrary, their actions after meeting were extremely special. Both sides looked at each other and nodded slightly, even if they were greeting each other.

Then Li Li personally checked Yan Xing's injuries. Then his expression changed slightly, his eyebrows frowned, and his expression on his face looked particularly gloomy. He immediately waved his hand to signal his personal soldiers and servants to retreat, but only Li Zhi was still in the room and stood at the door without moving.

Looking at Yan Xing's pale and waxy face and the painful and tidy expression in his eyes, Li Li stood quietly in front of the couch for a while, then leaned over and sat beside the bed, frowning his eyebrows and silently.

Unlike Li Li's sad expression, Yan Xing didn't seem to care about his injuries. His face was pale and bloodless, and his lips were gray. It was obviously a symptom of a large amount of blood loss. A lingering sadness condensed between his eyebrows. Knowing that Li Li was sitting beside him, he did not turn his head, and still looked at the spirit card on the front plan table with a blank expression. The words "The Spiritual Position of Beloved Wife Han Shiling" were engraved on it. There was no name, only a few words.
