"If Li is not mistaken, Brother Ziyuan suddenly returned to the city this time, presumably my Xiliang Iron Cavalry has already arrived in the city at this moment?"

Wu Yi was stunned when he heard this, nodded subconsciously, and simply said frankly: "It is indeed as the general said." The last general got the report half an hour ago, the enemy general Li Xian 、、、 uh, the general's brother Li Xian led the army to capture the counties of Ba County one after another month ago, captured Jiangzhou, recovered the whole territory of Ba County, led the army to capture Fushui Pass five days ago, and is now leading 30,000 iron cavalry straight to Chengdu.

At the same time, the general's subordinate General Zhao Yun marched at a rapid pace, and had conquered Shu Dao and Guanghan County, attacking cities and villages along the way, and the momentum was like a bamboo. At present, General Zhao Yun is leading an army of 100,000 to attack Shu County, forming a two-way attack with Li Xian's army, approaching Chengdu. ”

Before the words fell, Wu Yi added: "Judging from the speed of the army under the general's command, by this evening at the latest, more than 100,000 troops under the general's command will be able to come to the city. ”

Li Li didn't seem surprised when he heard this, he bowed his head slightly with a calm expression, and said with a smile: "It's expected." It's just two days later than planned, and it's not smooth to come along the way, and I'm in some trouble. Fortunately, they finally fulfilled their mission and arrived in time, and they were commendable. ”

Wu Yi was stunned when he heard this, subconsciously rolled his eyes, looked at Li Li's handsome and confident smile and was speechless for a while, and the turbulent waves turned up in his heart, and the horror was beyond measure.

This was said too easily and casually, as casually as idle talk, which made Wu Yi truly see what the domineering and majestic of a king was. It is really worthy of being the overlord of the world, and it is no wonder that he has been able to dominate Xiliang for many years. This demeanor and bearing are the posture of a king who is unparalleled in the world. Only with Li Li's detached mind and bearing, which swallows mountains and rivers, it is not comparable to Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang. It's a world of difference, and it can't be compared at all.

Speaking of which, Wu Yi had only met Li Li once before, and that was the battle of Yangping Pass during the battle for Hanzhong.

In that battle, the generals of Yizhou and tens of thousands of Yizhou soldiers really saw the power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, as well as Li Li's unparalleled strategy, so that more than 30,000 soldiers such as Zhao Wei, Wu Yi, and Zhang Ren survived after the war. He kept the real battle situation of the Battle of Hanzhong secretive, never mentioned the unbearable experience in Hanzhong, and even more resolutely denied the fact that he was defeated and captured.

For this. All the surviving Yizhou soldiers from top to bottom unanimously claimed that Zhang Lu of Hanzhong secretly colluded with Li Li and designed to frame the Yizhou army that went to reinforce it, so that the army was ambushed by the Xiliang army. Jia Meng Pass was lost. The whole territory of Hanzhong fell into the hands of Li Li. Until today, many years have passed since the Battle of Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang, the state pastor, is still kept in the dark, not knowing that the Battle of Hanzhong when Zhao Wei led a large army to reinforce Zhang Lu suffered an unprecedented defeat; All the officers and men of the army from Zhao Wei down were captured, including Zhang Ren and Lei Tong, who were sometimes entrusted with important tasks by Liu Zhang, and Wu Yi, who was sitting in front of Li Li at the moment, and other generals of Yizhou, who held real power, including Zhao Wei, the leader of the rebel army.

In short, all the Yizhou soldiers who participated in the Battle of Hanzhong were wiped out. All of them became prisoners of the Xiliang Army, and all the leading generals became prisoners of Li Li's subordinates.

After being captured. Zhao Wei, Wu Yi, Zhang Ren, Lei Tong and other major generals were all detained in solitary confinement, ate and drank well, and entertained well, and all met with Li Li alone. However, when they met alone, what Li Li said to their generals and what promises they made to Li Li were unknown to others except the parties concerned. Afterwards, Wu Yi, Zhao Wei and other generals were silent, did not say a word about this matter, did not make any communication with each other, and acted as if nothing had happened. Immediately, Zhao Wei, Wu Yi and others got together to discuss together, respond to Liu Zhang's inquiries in a unified voice, and jointly write a battle report.

Not only that, in order to avoid the rumors of the rumors of the crowd, after the army retreated to Shu Road, Zhao Wei discussed with the generals and decided that all the soldiers who participated in the battle of Hanzhong were not allowed to return to Chengdu, and all were scattered and resettled on the spot; Some of the soldiers and horses stayed in the Shu Road to continue to garrison the pass, and the rest of the soldiers were all sent to Ba County to garrison the border fortress. In the following half a month, all the sergeants who participated in the battle were assigned to the border to guard the city, and the generals who returned to Chengdu were unanimous and did not admit the fact that they were captured by the Xiliang army. In this way, the truth of the battle of Hanzhong was completely covered up.

Fortunately, the Western Liang army did not continue the offensive after capturing Hanzhong, and did not make a big deal about the capture of the Lizhou army. Over time, all the Yizhou generals who participated in the Battle of Hanzhong passed through the most difficult period smoothly, gradually putting the matter behind and pressing the truth under the water, so that it would never be able to surface.

After so many years, many people have forgotten the battle of Hanzhong that year, especially the generals who participated in the war are even more reluctant to mention the events of that year.

Unexpectedly, as Zhao Wei launched a rebellion, the battle of Hanzhong was found out again, and many unknown inside stories were transmitted to the counties under the jurisdiction of Yizhou one after another, and all kinds of rumors poured into the city of Chengdu and reached the ears of Liu Zhang, the governor of the state. Fortunately, these rumors all came out of Zhao Yunjun, although Liu Zhang was suspicious and jealous by nature, he could see the shape clearly, even if he knew that these rumors were true, he could only pretend not to know and ignore them. After all, Zhao Wei's rebels are menacing, the situation in Yizhou is critical, and at the time of employing people, he must not destroy the city wall, and he also needs these generals to resist Zhao Wei's rebels. These rumors were secretly suppressed by Liu Zhang, and they were left to be ignored.

Even so, the negative impact of these rumors cannot be ignored and still affects the situation in Yizhou. The reason why Zhao Wei's rebel army was able to grow rapidly was not unrelated to these rumors.

The middle and low-level generals who participated in the Battle of Hanzhong at the beginning, after so many years of accumulation and training, all had different promotions, or tun commanders, military marquis or guard generals, and they all had more or less power or soldiers and horses in their hands. After the scandal of the capture was reported, they adopted an attitude of passive resistance to the rebels of Zhao Wei, which invisibly fueled the arrogance of the rebels, thus causing a large-scale campaign of the rebels besieging Chengdu.

Now, after finally defeating Zhao Wei's rebels, before they had time to take a breath, they ushered in a large-scale attack on Yizhou by the Xiliang army.

Unlike Zhao Wei's rebels, the Xiliang army attacked fiercely and marched quickly, capturing the northern and eastern counties of Yizhou in succession. It is because of the ferocity of the Xiliang army that it is far above the Zhao Yun rebels, and the speed of attacking the city is several times that of the Zhao Yun rebels. Compared with the two, Zhao Wei's rebels are at best regarded as grass dogs, while the Xiliang army is a sky-swallowing beast, sweeping through the counties along the way, and rushing straight to Chengdu with a thunderous momentum.

With the Xiliang army attacking Yizhou, the situation in Yizhou has changed dramatically, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is earth-shaking.

The Western Liang army's attack on Yizhou was completely different from the situation when Zhao Wei's rebels attacked Chengdu before. As soon as the news of the arrival of the Xiliang Army came out, the situation in the counties of Yizhou suddenly became chaotic, millions of people were panicked, and the major families were panicked, and the whole situation was completely out of control.

What's even more terrifying is that Liu Zhang could turn a deaf ear to the capture scandal before, but now that the "main master" is here, how can he still let it go and ignore it like before?

Don't you see, has Zhao Wei, who had a meeting with Li Li, rebelled? Zhao Wei, who has always been deeply relied on by Liu Zhang, has openly betrayed his lord and rebelled, so what about the other generals?

As the lord of Yizhou, how could Liu Zhang not know that the reason why his generals did their best to assist him in exterminating Zhao Wei's rebels was because they had a direct conflict of interest with Zhao Wei. The contradictions between the two sides cannot be reconciled, and once Zhao Wei's rebellion succeeds, then their Yizhou generals, Beijia and Taishou will definitely lose their status, and all the existing ones will be in vain. Therefore, they will unite as one and do their best to assist him Liu Zhang to eliminate Zhao Wei, so as to protect their vested interests.

However, Zhao Wei has not yet been completely defeated, but the Xiliang army under Li Li has followed one after another, and has already attacked the city of Chengdu. What this means, as long as you are not a fool, it is not difficult to see the great danger in it. It's a very simple truth: the Xiliang army is coming, Yizhou is not guaranteed, and the first person to bear the brunt is Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang. The arrival of the Xiliang army meant that he would face a life-and-death choice, either to open the city and surrender, or to destroy the city, and there was no other way to choose.

It was not only Liu Zhang who faced a difficult choice, but all the military generals under Yizhou were facing the same choice, including Wu Yi and Wu Ziyuan, who were sitting in front of Li Li at the moment.

Therefore, when Li Li ran an olive branch to him, Wu Yi did not hesitate, immediately took it, and quickly adjusted his mentality and officially joined Li Li.

?????? At this moment, when Li Li said lightly that his army was two days late, Wu Yi was immediately shocked, his mind was lost, and many thoughts came to his mind one by one, and his thoughts were like a tide, with mixed feelings.

As the so-called family members know their own affairs.

Maybe Li Li didn't know how much impact the Xiliang Army under his command would have on the entire Yizhou situation after entering Yizhou, let alone how much deterrence the Xiliang Army had on the people of Yizhou, but Wu Yi, as the general of Yizhou, knew all about these things, and felt the same and deeply experienced them.

The reason why he suddenly returned to the city today was not only because he learned that the Xiliang army was about to come to the city, but also because he felt that Liu Zhang was ready to attack them, the generals who had been captured by Li Li. Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, he must return to the city, take his family to the barracks, and stay with the Dongzhou soldiers he set up himself, so as to ensure the safety of his family, old and young.

To Wu Yi's surprise, when he came to pick up his sister and go to the barracks, he met Li Li, the supreme commander of the Xiliang Army. This qiē seems to have its own providence in the dark, and his sister Wu Amaran once again saved the entire Wu clan and brought good news to him in his confusion.

In a daze, Wu Yi really felt the incomparable courage that Li Li possessed, and only a majestic overlord like him could command hundreds of thousands of fearsome arrogant soldiers.
