The sky is white, and the morning dawn breaks.

The dew fades, and everything grows.

The dewy branches and leaves, patches of emerald green, delicate and dripping.

Yungo City.

Overnight, countless plays were staged in the city.

Swords and swords, love and hatred, joy and sorrow, the most noisy and chaotic scenes in the world are interpreted one by one.

However, it all went with the night.

The first rays of light in the morning shine on the world, expelling darkness and ushering in light, and all the gloom is gone.

Daxiao and tears, hatred and blood, fame and glitz in the middle of the night are all submerged in the morning glow, floating in the rising sun.

Under the rising sun, Yunwu City is very quiet, there are few pedestrians in the streets and alleys, and shops, liquor stores and small traders and hawkers are all closed.

On the four city gate towers in the southeast, northwest and northwest, a team of armor soldiers stood upright, their armor was neat, and there were many soldiers, and a kind of desolate and murderous atmosphere filled the entire city.

The only change in the city is that the battle flag with the word "Han" fluttering high on the city tower in the past has been replaced by two large flags at this moment. The battle flag of the word "Yan" is inserted on the east gate and the north city gate, but the battle flag of the word "Han" is still inserted on the west and south city gates, but next to the flag of the word "Han", there is also a slightly smaller battle flag embroidered with the word "Cheng".

Just from the three battle flags, one large and one small, it is not difficult to see that something big happened in the city last night. Yunwu City, which was originally gathered under the banner of the "Han" word war, has been divided into two at this moment, and the northeast and southwest half of the city are facing each other from afar. The castle tower, which was originally accessible on all sides, also built a fence at the corner of the castle tower due to the change of the battle flag, so that the two shili were bounded by the fence, and they were clearly distinguished, each guarding its own half of the city.

From the change of the battle flag, it is also not difficult to see that there was a fierce battle in the city last night. Or rather, infighting. The two groups fought fiercely for the ownership and control of the city, and the result was that the two sides were evenly matched. When the day dawned, the two sides had no choice but to stop fighting and demarcate the border, each occupying half of the city.

Time passes slowly in waiting.

The sun moves slowly, regardless of the attitude of the earth, and sprinkles its fiery enthusiasm into the world, showing off its dazzling brilliance and powerful energy.

Two poles on the sun. It's noon.

Under the city of Yungo.

Li Zheng's 30,000 cavalry drove to the north gate outside the city, Guo Yan's 10,000 cavalry approached the south gate, and Li Li personally led 20,000 cavalry to slowly march to the east gate, but the west gate was unattended.

Three poles in the sun, until the afternoon.

"Crunch!"

With a crisp and loud loud sound, it spread. The east gate suddenly opened, and the drawbridge over the moat slowly fell.

"Bang!" When the drawbridge slammed to the ground. Thousands of armor warriors poured out of the city. After running out of the city gate, they lined up from the drawbridge to the city gate, and quickly lined up to welcome Li Li's army into the city.

In front of Li Li's army.

This time he came to surrender, but Li Li's dress was different from that of the crusade against Ma Teng. Last time he wore a long robe to talk to Ma Teng, but today he wore a dark red brocade robe. He wears a dark gold purple jade crown, golden chain mail, a python lion belt around his waist, and auspicious cloud-covered boots. The mount of the Golden Lion Beast King under the crotch, and the iron-backed war knife of the Golden Lion in his palm.

Dressed in armor, mighty and imposing.

"My lord, the last general will confess that the information sent by the fine work last night was wrong. Last night there was a lot of chaos in the city, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the fighting did not stop until dawn. Now it seems that it is very likely that Cheng Gongying sent someone to send a surrender letter last night, and its purpose is to stabilize our army, so that our army will not take advantage of the internal strife in the city to attack the city overnight. It's just that Yan Yan didn't send someone to send a letter of surrender last night, but now how could he take the initiative to open the city to ask for surrender? Just as Li Li squinted his eyes and looked at the battle flags fluttering above the city, Li Zhi reported in a low voice.

After Li Li heard this, he smiled indifferently and said with a smile: "It's okay." In fact, after dawn, our scouts found out what happened in the city last night. Last night, Han Sui died violently, Yan Xing was assassinated in the cave room and was seriously injured, and his new wife Han Ling was cut off by a thief with a short dagger. Subsequently, Han Sui's henchman Cheng Gongying rushed to hear the news, suspecting that Han Sui and Han Ling's father and daughter were both killed by Yan Xing, and led his troops to attack the county guard, trying to kill Yan Xing to avenge Han Sui. Immediately afterwards, Yan Xing's troops and Cheng Gongying's troops clashed fiercely, and the two sides fought all night. As a result, Cheng Gongying's troops were outnumbered and led his troops to retreat to the southwest half of the city, while Yan Xing still occupied the county guard and the northeast half of the city. Until now, the two sides are still in a stalemate and quarrel. Hehehe--"

When Li Zhi heard this, his expression relaxed slightly, and he retreated behind Li Li without saying more.

After hearing Li Li's story, the radiant Dian Wufang rode to Li Li's side and said in a low voice: "Husband, Cheng Gongying sent someone to send a letter of surrender, but he was a deceitful man, so that our army missed the opportunity last night. Yan Xing didn't hand over the surrender letter last night, but now he opened the city gate to welcome our army into the city. What should we do now, whether we can enter the city or not? ”

"Haha!" Li Li said with a daxiao: "Since Yan Xing has already opened the city to welcome us into the city, how can my cousin refuse my cousin's kindness. Zhang Liao listens to the order! ”

"Please let the Lord know." Zhang Liao beat his horse out of the queue and responded respectfully.

"Ben will order you to take 5,000 gold guards to enter the city immediately to find out the truth. After entering the city, I quickly led my troops into the county guard mansion to protect my cousin Yan Xing and take over the city gates. If there is fraud in the city, just seize the city gate, and my tens of thousands of troops will be waiting for the battle, and the whole city can be captured in an hour! ”

"No, the last general will take the order!" Zhang Liao looked at Li Li with a slightly surprised expression, and categorically did not expect that Han Sui's righteous son and son-in-law Yan Yan was actually the cousin of his own father-in-law. Immediately, he surrendered his order, and in front of the horse formation, he waved his sword and went straight to the East Gate Suspension Bridge with five thousand war horses.

Watching Zhang Liao lead his troops into the city, Dian Wufang turned sideways and whispered to Li Li: "Husband let Zhang Liao lead the army into the city, will Yan Xing be angry and think that you don't believe him?" Moreover, there is still a rebellion led by Cheng Gongying in the city right now, how does the husband plan to deal with it? ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li smiled calmly: "The situation of Jincheng Han Sui's department is essentially no different from that of Jicheng Ma Teng, the soldiers under their command have repeatedly fought with our army, and the two sides have deep grievances. After Jicheng was broken by our army, Jincheng has become a lone army, and sooner or later it will be defeated. After our army joined forces with Li Zheng's troops yesterday, if we attack the city on a large scale, we will definitely be able to forcibly capture this city. And now overnight, the soldiers and horses of 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 whole city as if it were a bag to get something, and a battle could be taken. After our army takes the northeastern half of the city, if Cheng Gongying refuses to surrender and still resists stubbornly, then we don't have to hesitate at all and directly wave our troops to attack.

What is too easy to get, is often easy to lose. Jincheng Han Sui's prestige in the counties of Liangzhou is still above Ma Teng, but he is now dead, which saves us a lot of worry and effort. Cheng Gongying led his troops to resist, but it provided us with a good opportunity to show our military might, defeat him in a dignified manner, and deter Xiaoxiao and a group of wait-and-see clans, as well as the surrounding Qiangdi tribes and grass robbers who were waiting to be sold.

As for whether Cousin Yan Xing would be too careful, he must be able to understand this himself. In troubled times, you can't have the heart of harming people, but you can't have the heart of guarding against people! Only when he is prepared can he be safe, even if he is uncomfortable, he will not be too careful. He will be as cautious as I am. My cousin is extremely cautious by nature and cautious. If I don't make a temptation, he will look down on me and think that I am not good enough! ”

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

Dian Wufang couldn't understand why Li Li valued Yan Xing so much.

On the contrary to Li Li, Dian Wufang strongly disagreed with what Yan Xing had done.

Judging from the information heard in the last two days, the deaths of Han Sui and Han Ling are both related to Yan Xing in some way, or in other words, Han Sui's father and daughter both died indirectly or directly in the hands of Yan Xing. Han Sui didn't care, after all, he was the great enemy of Yan Xing and even the Yan family, and it was understandable that Yan Xing wanted revenge. But Dian Wufang was extremely resentful of Han Ling's death, thinking that Han Ling was innocent, and he was a person who really liked Yan Xing, and married him as his wife, but Han Ling died without knowing it.

Because of this, Dian Wufang had a very poor impression of Yan Xing, thinking that he was a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

After Zhang Liao led his troops into the city, it didn't take long for him to send back the news that Yan Xing had indeed surrendered, and there was no ambush in the city. In addition, the sentry also reported to Li Li that Yan Xing was indeed seriously injured, and the injuries were extremely serious, and the entire lower half of his body had lost consciousness, and now he was paralyzed in bed, and his life was in danger.

Li Li was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately waved his army into the city, and after stepping into the city gate, he drove the Golden Lion Beast King and rode straight to the county guard's mansion.

The county watchman's house.

In the bedroom in the back hall, Li Li, who came in a hurry, saw Yan Xing lying on the couch.

After a year, the two brothers finally met again.

At this meeting, Li Li and Yan Xing did not have any greetings, nor did they have the excitement of meeting brothers. On the contrary, their behavior after meeting was extremely special, both sides looked at each other, and nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Li Li then personally inspected Yan Xing's injuries, but his expression changed slightly, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and the expression on his face was extremely gloomy. Immediately, he waved his hand to signal his soldiers and servants to retreat, only Li Zhi remained in the room, standing motionless at the door.

Looking at Yan Xing's pale and sallow face, and the pained look in his eyes, Li Li stood quietly in front of the couch for a long time, and then leaned over and sat on the edge of the bed, frowning and silent.

Unlike Li Li's sad face, Yan Xing didn't seem to care about his injuries, his face was pale and bloodless, his lips were gray, obviously a symptom of massive blood loss, and a lingering sadness condensed between his eyebrows. Knowing that Li Li was sitting beside him, he didn't turn his head, and still looked at the spirit card on the front plan with a blank face, which was impressively engraved with the words "Soul Seat of Beloved Wife Han Shiling", without any title, only a few words.
