"What is the difference between us doing this and being the king of the mountain?" Zhang Yan asked, "If this continues, do we still have a chance to save the people in the world?" ”

Li Yi glanced at him silently, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you believe you can do it?" ”

Zhang Yan nodded, "I don't know if I can do it, but I believe that someone will do it one day, so we have been working hard." Your idea could save us temporarily, but it wasn't our ultimate goal. ”

"Hope...... Li Yi said softly, "If you survive, there is hope." ”

Zhang Yan's expression moved, and she suddenly understood the key. He bent down, bowed to Li Yi, and said with a wry smile: "You are the one who defeated us, and it is you who helped us, what do you want to do?" Do you just want to take back Anpingguo? ”

"Is it so hard to use an Anping country? Li Xiaoqi has ill intentions, what does he want to do? Are you trying to use us to rebel? Yang Feng asked coldly.

Li Yi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know how to answer.

He really wanted to dominate this era and change the fate of China, but when it came to rebellion, he didn't have this idea, and he didn't even have the idea of replacing the Han world.

From later generations, he knows very well that the emperor has nothing to do, not to mention the tiredness and hard work, if he does something badly, he will be scolded, or even nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

However, if you are not the emperor, what is the use of fighting for hegemony by yourself?

Li Yi stood in place, looking up at the sky, looking demented and dazed.

Zhang Yan looked at him suddenly in a daze, as if he had thought of something. ignored them and hurriedly glanced at Yang Feng.

"Li Xiaoqi, if nothing happens, I will leave Yanzi and I." Yang Feng whispered.

Li Yi woke up in an instant and immediately said, "Can Yang Shuai withdraw from Jizhou before the end of the month?" ”

"I'll lead the army to Taihang Mountain immediately, but I hope you can make way for me in Julu County and Changshan Country. I know. These two counties are now in your hands, and you can certainly do it. Zhang Yan said, "If Li Xiaoqi agrees, then after three days, you can settle in Xindu City." Ten days later, except for Shangai in Changshan Country, the other county seats are yours. ”

Li Yi stretched out his hand towards Zhang Yan and said, "A gentleman's word!" ”

Zhang Yan held Li Yi's hand. Said loudly: "Hurry up and whip the horse!" ”

………………

Li Yi took Dian Wei and Zhao Yun to rush back to the camp of Jianjin City, and saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei anxiously waiting at the gate of the city with a group of people.

Seeing that Li Yi was back, Guan Yu hurriedly stepped forward and asked in surprise: "Big brother went out of the camp to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, why did he only take Zilong and Shunzhi with him?" How dangerous is this, the southern counties of the Hejian Kingdom are still in the hands of the Yellow Turban Thieves. ”

Li Yi laughed and said, "It's not to kill the enemy, what are you bringing so many people for?" It's not that you don't know the abilities of Zilong and Shunzhi, they are there. Even if there are thousands of troops, can they still stop the three of us? That's right. Yun Chang, you can draw up a few paperwork for me right away. ”

"Please give me orders." Guan Yu said respectfully.

Li Yi strode towards the big tent and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Immediately write to the Son of Heaven, saying that we have recovered Anping Kingdom and are planning to move westward. ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were dumbfounded. Guan Yu said in surprise: "Big brother, we haven't fought with the Yellow Turban Army yet. How come you have already recovered Anping Kingdom? Are we going to lie about the military? ”

Li Yi waved his hand impatiently and said loudly, "I'll explain when I have time." Write as I say immediately, quickly. ”

Li Yi continued: "According to Your Majesty's wishes, we will gather 50,000 troops in Jizhou. However, Youzhou. Jizhou had experienced the scourge of war and was extremely financially strained, and it was simply unable to provide the salaries, equipment, and grain and grass of the 50,000 troops. If we rush to the Yizhou battlefield like this, our fragile combat effectiveness will probably not help solve the problems on the Yizhou battlefield. Therefore, we ask Your Majesty to immediately procure a solution for us. At the same time, His Majesty is asked to give us at once the route of the march west to Yizhou, and all the counties and counties where the army will go must provide us with grain and grass. ”

"In addition, immediately give a requisition order to the Youzhou Prefecture Governor's Office. All military reserves, armor, bows and arrows, knives and guns, and other weapons and equipment in the arsenals of the three counties of Yuyang, Zhuojun, and Guangyang were to be requisitioned and sent to Handan in mid-March. ”

"Give the Jizhou Assassin Mansion an order to requisition. The requisitioned Wei County, Bohai County and other counties that had not yet been seriously attacked by the Yellow Turban Army immediately provided all their military reserves and grain and grass reserves, which must be delivered to Yecheng by September. Also, tell them to send me this month's salary immediately. ”

"Send a letter to the garrison of Hejian State, ordering Yue Fei to leave a few soldiers to garrison and maintain his daily work, and the rest of the soldiers immediately rush to Yecheng to prepare to advance westward."

Then, Li Yi turned his gaze to Zhang Fei and said, "Yide, go and invite General Huangfu Song and Cao Cao to the big tent." ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help but shout: "Big brother, what tricks did you play again, why didn't you even fight Xindu City?" ”

"The Yellow Turban Army will withdraw immediately, and there will be no battle to fight." Li Yi said solemnly, "Invite someone for me, don't worry about fighting all day long." ”

"How do you know?" Zhang Fei shouted unconvinced.

Li Yi couldn't get angry, kicked him gently, and said angrily: "Hurry up, go quickly." ”

Zhang Jaw pulled Li Yi to the side of the big tent, leaned over his ear, and asked quietly, "Lord, have you seen them?" ”

Li Yi nodded.

"How's the talk?" Zhang Jaw asked anxiously.

"Three days later, we will be stationed in Xindu." Li Yi said softly, "Zhang Yan is also a person who can afford to put it down, and she is very refreshing." ”

"Great." Zhang Jaw said excitedly, "The main public soldier will definitely surprise everyone by taking the Xindu City without bloodshed." ”

"Not surprised, but thumping your chest. Such good luck, how did Li Yi meet again, haha......" Li Yi laughed.

………………

August 20 of the 7th year of the Great Han Guoguanghe.

Zhang Yan, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, suddenly abandoned the capital of Anping Guozhi, and along the way, he passed through Fuliu City and Tangyang City of Anping State, and Yang City of Julu County, as well as Gaoyi City and Yuanshi City of Changshan State, and quickly retreated to Zhongshan Kingdom. Along the way, the counties were intimidated by the Yellow Turban Army and did not dare to send troops to block it, so they closed the city gates one after another, allowing the Yellow Turban Army to pass through.

Zhang Yan was worthy of the city of Feiyan, and his army retreated very quickly. When the officers and troops stationed in Jianjin City of Anping State reacted, the Yellow Turban Army had already withdrawn to the territory of Changshan Country and could not catch up.

However, it cannot be said that nothing was found, and Zhang Liang, the general of the Yellow Turban Army, was unwilling to withdraw and stayed in Xindu City to block the pursuit of the imperial court. However, there were not many men under his command, only 3,000, and under the attack of 20,000 imperial troops, he only lasted two days before the city was breached, and Zhang Liang also died at the hands of Zhao Yun, the general of the cavalry.

With the death of Zhang Liang in battle, and the retreat of Zhang Yan, the new leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and Yang Feng, the general Yang Feng and others, to Taihang Mountain, the vigorous Yellow Turban Rebellion, which swept most of the Han Kingdom, was declared a failure.

After conquering the city of Xindu, the official army found the tomb of Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, in a mass grave outside the city. Although Li Yi, the cavalry general, tried his best to oppose it on the grounds of entering the earth, he was unable to save Zhang Jiao from the fate of being broken and killed.

………………

Sindu Camp.

Cao Cao found Huangfu Song again.

"General Huangfu, did you swallow this breath like this?" Cao Cao said angrily, "Li Yi's heart, passers-by know, he obviously sympathizes with the Yellow Turban thief!" What is the reason why he can't catch up, I think he just deliberately let go of the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army! ”

Huangfu Song glared at Cao Cao and said in a deep voice: "Captain Cao is cautious!" ”

Cao Cao said unconvinced: "General Huangfu, I didn't talk nonsense. Youzhou's iron cavalry was almost sprinkled all over the surrounding area of Xindu City, if it wasn't for Li Yi's intention to let go of the rebel Zhang Yan, how could he only find out three days after the rebel escaped from Xindu City? What about when we're all stupid?! ”

"The Yellow Turban thief Zhang Liang is a suspicious soldier in Xindu City, and it is not impossible to hide the scout's investigation." Huangfu Song said lightly.

"I ...... I don't believe that the elite of the scouts of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry is unparalleled in the world, how could they be deceived so easily? Cao Cao insisted on his opinion, "Li Yi obviously wants to raise thieves for self-respect, he is worried that after completely exterminating the Yellow Turban thieves, he will be impeached by everyone in the court, so he deliberately let Zhang Yan and his tens of thousands of troops go." ”

Huangfu Song said unhappily: "Captain Cao, what do you mean when you say that General Xiaocai is worried that the ministers of the DPRK and China will impeach him?" General Xiaocai has made great contributions to the imperial court to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thief, why should he be impeached? If heroes like General Xiaocai are to be impeached, then shouldn't people like you and me, who have fought a big defeat and lost a large number of soldiers and horses, apologize with death? ”

Cao Cao was speechless. Does he want to tell Huangfu Song that it is Li Yi who has blocked the financial path of many important ministers in the court, and has committed public anger, and many ministers want to give Li Yi a good look?

Cao Cao understood that if he really told Huangfu Song about these dirty things, this upright general would definitely blow up. He can be regarded as having worked with Huang Fu Song for several months, and he can't be more aware of Huang Fu Song's character. This old general is not only very murderous, but also has a very hot temper.

Speaking of which, although Huangfu Song was born in a family of generals, before he led the army to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves this time, he had always been a civil official, first recruited by the Son of Heaven as a squire, and then served as the Taishou of Beidi County. But perhaps it is precisely because of the genes of the generals that Huangfu Song's character tends to be a pure soldier, and he is not good at all at all at those power conspiracies and conspiracies in the political arena. Otherwise, with his family background, it would be impossible for him to mix into the position of a Northland County Taishou at the age of fifty.

You must know that Beidi County is just a border county with a total population of no more than 20,000 people, and it is not as good as an ordinary county in the Central Plains. (To be continued.) )
