On the upper floor of the east gate of Daying, after a day, Li Li appeared here again, looking from afar by the railing, as if he was thinking.

However, today he did not wear armor, but a brocade robe, and there was no killing aura on Zhou's body.

Standing at the east gate and watching the sunset, it is a bit of a contradiction, but Li Li seems to enjoy this feeling, and perhaps only he can understand the meaning of the sunset shining on his back.

It was also the early spring, and four years earlier he had come to this chaotic era in the afterglow of the sun, when he was seriously injured and dying, at the age of sixteen. However, fate was reversed at that moment, and the real "Li Li" completed a short life under serious injuries, and the rest of the long years were replaced by him "Li Zhengfeng".

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

In the summer of three years ago, still under this slanting sun, he led the Wuwei Army to a decisive battle with the Xiliang Army after Dong Zhuo's death. It was a battle that was destined to go down in history, if he could achieve hegemony in the future. The First Battle in the Southern Suburbs was a turning point in the situation of the whole world, and it was also a nirvana rebirth of the Xiliang Army, and it was also the most important opportunity for Li Li's strong rise. That battle completely changed the trajectory of history, changed the fate of countless Xiliang soldiers, and also changed the fortunes of the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, and then changed the pattern of the world. Like a lever prying the land of China, a stone stirs up a thousand waves. The rise of a humble little person completely changed the trajectory of the fate of countless people, swept the entire turbulent and turbulent times, and led the trend of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It's been four years. It is still the eternal remnant sun, the same brilliance, the same enthusiasm and unrestrainedness, and the same red as blood. The sunset in the past, and the remnant sun now, once again witnessed this unprecedented decisive battle with far-reaching influence, and witnessed the birth of a generation of overlords in the tempering of blood and fire. Rise strong in the bones, march forward in the smoke, and reappear in the afterglow of the sunset.

The decisive battle of Loudiyuan. It is undoubtedly a crucial battle that will determine the direction of troubled times. No matter who wins or loses on both sides of the war, it will definitely change the pattern of the world and directly affect the future and fate of all princes.

If the allies win, the once powerful Xiliang Army will become a flash in the pan. Li Li, the world's first overlord, will be reduced to dry bones in the grave. Become a stepping stone to the new overlord and add a brilliant aura of merit to the victor. Then, with the victory of the princes of the Central Plains, the troubled times will become more and more chaotic, the smoke of war will become more and more intense, the fighting will become more and more fierce, and the competition between the states of the Central Plains will become more and more fierce, and the result will inevitably be smoke everywhere and bones everywhere. The people of the Central Plains will face the most cruel tempering.

After all, there were not a few Allied princes. While sharing the fruits of victory, the battle between them will inevitably be accelerated, and the resulting melee will spread in a wide range and fight fiercely, no less than the Battle of Loudiyuan, or even surpassing. What the result will be and what the consequences will be, it is self-evident and can be imagined.

On the other hand, if the Xiliang army wins, the situation in the Central Plains will be brought under control, and although war is still unavoidable, the war will inevitably be confined to one state and one county, and no large-scale full-scale war will break out. Because the Western Liang Army was on the side, the troops were fierce and ready for the battle, forcing the defeated Central Plains princes to have some scruples, and always beware of the Western Liang Army marching eastward to crusade against the Central Plains states. Therefore, in a certain way, it is said that the victory of the Western Liang army was more beneficial to the people of the Central Plains. Because the defeated princes were forced by the form, not only would they make great efforts, but they would also treat the people with extra kindness, so as to consolidate his foothold, so that he could resist the conquest of the Western Liang army and live longer.

In addition, after the victory of the Xiliang army, it will directly change the pattern of the world, directly weaken the power of some powerful princes, and give relatively weak princes the opportunity to reverse the situation, so as to lead to the strength ranking of the princes in the world.

Looking at all the princes in the world, the originally top-ranked princes, such as Yuan Shao of Jizhou ranked second, Cao Cao of Yanzhou ranked fourth, and Wenhou Lu Bu, who replaced Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, who recently rose in Xuzhou, will all fall sharply in the ranking of strength. Under the elimination of the other's strengths, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Zhang, Yangzhou Yuan Shu and Youzhou Gongsun Zan will take their place and officially enter the top five. And the dignity of the world's first overlord still belongs to Xiliang Li Li, and the Xiliang army is the strongest army in the world, its strength and achievements are firmly at the top of the list, above all the princes, and truly become 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 the heavenly warriors and generals, as well as the objects of the scholars' clans and the strong. The princes with the highest strength will definitely be able to attract more scribes and generals to come to serve, and they will also receive the support of more scholars and powerful forces. The princes at the bottom of the power ranking are very likely to face the embarrassing situation of no one caring and no one to vote, and the gate lords and powerful people in their territory are very likely to choose to flee or secretly fund other princes' forces. In this way, it is natural to form a situation in which the strong are stronger and the weak are weaker, which in turn will push the princes to speed up the pace of annexing weak and small forces, intensify the evolution of troubled times, and lay the foundation for the future division and cooperation.

At the same time, the Battle of Loudiyuan had one thing in common for both sides of the decisive battle, that is, no matter who won or lost, it would exacerbate the demise of the Liu dynasty. The greater the number of people and the more fierce the fighting, the greater the influence caused, which means that the trampling on the imperial power of the Liu family is stricter and more ferocious, completely ignoring the existence of the imperial power of the Son of Heaven, which invisibly greatly weakens the prestige of the Son of Heaven and promotes the rapid destruction of the broken ship of the Liu Dynasty.

————————————

As the sun set, after three days and two nights of fierce battles, the decisive battle of Loudiyuan was finally settled.

The smile of the person who laughed last was the brightest, but Li Li, who was standing with his back to his back at the moment, did not smile, but contemplated with his eyes, thinking about the enterprising direction of the Xiliang Army in the next three years.

The sound of "tom tom" footsteps extended along the steps to the castle tower and reached Li Li's ears, but he did not turn around, because the person who came was not an outsider, but the ministers of the humerus, Jia Xu and Guo Jia, whom he relied on very much.

And at this time, standing behind him was another shadow-like Cunzi, which was Li Zhi, the commander of Jin Yiwei, who had always been silent but was most trusted by Li Li.

"I've seen the lord." Guo Jia and Jia Xu, who walked into the city tower quickly, bowed and waved their hands, while Li Li turned around when he heard the sound, quickly put away his thoughts, and smiled.

"After two days of hard work and filial piety and Wenhe, when I return to the gate tomorrow, I will give you two a leave of absence, so that you can rest for three days. Hehehe! ”

"The lord is serious about what he said, didn't he just say it casually, and then he didn't count it?" Guo Jia said with a smile.

Li Li said casually: "You have no jokes、、、 uh, slip of the tongue, when did I say empty words." My generation of men, swallowing spit is a nail, how can I say without faith? ”

At first glance, Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked stunned, looked at each other, and then nodded slightly and smiled at each other.

When Li Li's words fell, Jia Xu smiled, approached Li Li lightly, and said in a low voice: "It is true that as the lord said, some things have been delayed until now, and we have always kept it secretive and dare not mention it lightly. Previously, the time was not ripe enough, the scope of involvement was too wide, and the impact was huge. But after this battle, it is not the same as in the past, and the time is ripe for a break. I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”

Li Li's expression was shocked, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, a solemn color appeared between his eyebrows, and his eyes instantly became deep.

After thinking about it for a while, he paced to the fence, turned his back to Jia Xu and Guo Jia, held on to the railing, and muttered, "Is it broken?" I thought I would have to wait a few more years, and I didn't want to make a decision so soon. In all fairness, there is nothing wrong with his existence, and he has no grievances with me, and even the number of times we see each other is very limited, and he is only a half-grown child. It's a pity that his background determines his fate, and while enjoying wealth and power, he also shoulders his due responsibilities and missions. Born in troubled times, human life is like a mustard, and we are all in it, and we have no choice but to work hard and be resolute. Alas??????"

Speaking of this, Li Li couldn't help but sigh, looking a little melancholy, but more of a resolute and murderous tone.

"This matter was originally the responsibility of Wen He, and now it is still under your full authority. There is no need to report it, Wenhe can decide for himself, and then remind me when the results are available. ”

"No, Weichen obeys the order and will handle this matter properly, please rest assured." Jia Xu replied respectfully.

Li Li smiled indifferently, bowed his head to signal Jia Xu not to be polite, then turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao must have something important to do here, there is no need to be taboo, but it doesn't hurt." ”

Guo Jia nodded happily and said with a smile: "The lord is an unknown prophet, which makes Weichen admire." Just received a report from the Hedong War, Zhou Yu's army had stormed Anyi City at the fifth watch yesterday, and the battle lasted until noon today. In this battle, General Zhou Yu lived up to the high expectations of the lord, seized Anyi City, annihilated more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under Jiang Qi in Jizhou, collected nearly 20,000 surrendered troops under Zhang Yang's account, and captured a large amount of money and grain hoarded in Anyi City. By the time of the Flying Eagle's message, General Zhou Yu had led his army to capture the entire territory of Hedong County, seize the Dayang Ferry, and intercept more than 500 warships and ferries, which can be described as a complete victory! ”

Li Li said with joy on his face when he heard this: "Gongjin has a good way of using troops, and has won successive battles, pacified the Southern Xiongnu and recovered the entire territory of Merge Prefecture in just ten months, and now he has led the army to recover Hedong County. After the recovery of Hedong County, Hanoi County will be at your fingertips, so that the war on the north bank of the Yellow River can be determined, and the state will be worry-free! Hahaha??????"
