—————

On the east gate of Daying, one day later, Li Li appeared here again, looking away from the railing, as if he was thinking.

However, today he did not wear armor, but a brocade robe, and there was no killing aura around him.

Standing at the east gate to watch the sunset is a bit contrary to the point, but Li Li seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. Perhaps only he himself could understand what the sunset shining on his back meant.

It was also early spring. Four years ago, he came to this chaotic era in the afterglow of the setting sun. At that time, he was seriously injured and wanted to die at the age of sixteen. However, his fate reversed at that moment. The real "Li Li" had a short life under severe injury, while the remaining long years were replaced by him, "Li Zhengfeng".

This is a secret that was permanently sealed in his heart, and it is destined to never mention it to anyone in this life. Therefore, the afterglow of the setting sun on that day has a special significance to him, enough to remember it for a lifetime, and never forget it for a moment.

Three years ago, in the summer, he led the Wuwei army to fight the Xiliang army after Dong Zhuo's death. It was a major battle destined to be recorded in history, provided that if he could achieve hegemony in the future. The Battle of the Southern Suburbs was a major turning point in the entire world, a rebirth of the Xiliang army, and the most important opportunity for Li Li to rise strongly. That battle completely changed the historical trajectory, changed the fate of countless Xiliang soldiers, changed the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, and then changed the pattern of the world. It was like a lever levering the land of China, and a stone stirred up thousands of layers of waves. The rise of a humble little person completely changed the fate of countless people, sweeping the entire turbulent and chaotic world. It led the trend of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

After four years, it was still the eternal setting sun, the same glory, the same passionate and unrestrained, and the same bright red as blood. The sunset in the past, and now the setting sun again witnessed this unprecedented decisive battle with far-reaching influence, witnessing the birth of a generation of overlords in the tempering of blood and fire. They rose strongly among the bones, moved forward with their heads raised in the smoke of war, and reappeared in the afterglow of the sunset.

The decisive battle in Loudi was undoubtedly a key battle that determines the direction of troubled times. No matter who wins and loses the two sides, it will definitely change the world pattern and directly affect the future and destiny of all the princes.

If the Allies win, the once powerful Xiliang Army will become a flash in the pan. The world's number one overlord Li Li will become a dry bone in the tomb, becoming a stepping stone for the new overlord, adding a brilliant halo of merit to the winner. Then, with the victory of the princes of the Central Plains, the troubled times will become more chaotic, and the war will become stronger and stronger. The battle will become more tragic, and the competition between the Central Plains states will become more and more fierce. The result will inevitably be wars everywhere and bones everywhere, and the people of the Central Plains will face the most cruel tempering.

After all, there are many Allied princes. While sharing the fruits of victory, they will definitely accelerate the fight between them. The scope of the melee caused by this is wide and the fierce fighting will be no less than the battle in Loudiyuan, and even more than even. What consequences will be caused by self-evident, and it can be imagined.

In contrast, if the Western Liang army wins, the situation in the Central Plains will be controlled. Although war is still unavoidable, the war will inevitably be limited to one state and one county, and there will be no large-scale comprehensive war. Because the Western Liang army is on the side, prepares for war and is ready to go, forcing the defeated Central Plains princes to have some concerns and always beware of the Western Liang army's troops to advance eastward and attack the Central Plains states. Therefore, to a certain extent, the victory of the Western Liang army is more beneficial to the people of the Central Plains. Because the defeated princes will not only work hard to govern, but also treat the people particularly well, so as to consolidate their foundation, so that they can resist the Western Liang army's conquest and live a longer life.

In addition, after the Western Liang army wins, it will directly change the world pattern, directly weaken some powerful vassal forces, and give relatively weak vassals the opportunity to reverse the situation. This will lead to the strength ranking of the vassal forces in the world. Except for the Western Liang Li Li, the rankings of other vassals will be pushed down again.

Looking at all the princes in the world, the originally ranked high-ranking vassal forces, such as the second-ranked Jizhou Yuan Shao, the fourth-ranked Yanzhou Cao Cao, the Wenhou Lu Bu, the replacement Cao Cao, and the newly rising Xuzhou Liu Bei, the newly-rise Xuzhou Liu Bei, the ranking will all decline sharply. As one goes up and down, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Zhang, Yangzhou Yuan Shu, and Youzhou Gongsun Zan will take their positions and officially enter the top five. The world's number one overlord still belongs to Li Li of Xiliang, and the Xiliang army is the world's most powerful army. Its strength and outstanding record are firmly ranked first, surpassing all the princes, and truly becoming a giant that no one can shake.

This is not a simple ranking order, because each ranking represents a huge gap in strength, which directly affects the choice orientation of literati and military generals in the world, as well as the objects of funding for the aristocratic families and powerful people. The princes with high strength will definitely attract more literati and military generals to come and serve, and will also receive funding and support from more gentry families and powerful forces. The princes with low strength will most likely face the embarrassing situation of no one to be interested in and no one to come to invest. The aristocratic families and powerful people in their territory will most likely choose to flee or secretly fund other lord forces. In this way, a situation will naturally form a situation where the strong are stronger and the weak are weaker, which will then push the princes to accelerate the pace of annexing weak forces, aggravate the evolution of troubled times, and lay the foundation for the long-term separation and will surely unite in the future.

At the same time, the Loudiyuan Battle has one thing in common for the decisive battle, that is, no matter who wins or loses, it will intensify the demise of the Liu Dynasty. With such a large-scale decisive battle, the more people and the more fierce the fight, the greater the influence it will have. This means that the more serious and fierce the trampling on the Liu Dynasty's imperial power is, and completely ignoring the existence of the emperor's imperial power, which invisibly greatly weakens the emperor's majesty and promotes the rapid destruction of the broken ship of the Liu Dynasty.

————————————

The sun sets, and after three days and two nights of fierce battle, the decisive battle in Loudi was finally settled.

The smile of the person who laughed to the end was the brightest, but Li Li, who stood with his hands behind his back, did not smile, but stared at meditating and thinking about the direction of the Xiliang Army's progress in the next three years.

The footsteps of "bangbang" extended to the city tower with the steps and reached Li Li's ears, but he did not turn around, because the person who came was not an outsider, but his trusted minister, military advisors Jia Xu and Guo Jia.

At this time, there was another shadow-like existence standing behind him, which was Li Zhi, the commander of Jin Qiwei who had always been taciturn but was most trusted by Li Li.

"I've seen the lord." Guo Jia and Jia Xu, who were walking into the city tower, bowed, while Li Li turned around when he heard the sound, quickly put away his thoughts, and nodded with his head.

"I have worked hard to serve Xiao and Wenhe in the past two days. When I return to the pass tomorrow, I will give you two a leave and let you rest for three days. Hahaha!"
