But now that Li Yi's ideological work has not been done, Bernie has already taken the initiative to stand up for Li Yi. If Bernie couldn't give Li Yi a good reason, Li Yi would definitely not be trusted.

So after listening to Li Yi's words, Bernie's face turned red at first. After all, although Li Yi was very polite when he spoke to Bernie, the meaning of their words was very unceremonious. As a military man, surrender is arguably the most humiliating thing to do. Now Li Yi bluntly pointed out that even if Bernie is in a good psychological state, it is impossible for him not to change his face. Unless Bernie has no sense of humiliation and doesn't care about Li Yi's cynicism.

But it is clear that Bernie is a soldier whose conscience has not been completely extinguished. It's just that after blushing slightly, Bernie immediately reined in the different colors on his face, and then quickly changed to a calm expression, and said lightly to Li Yi: "General Li Yi's words are very reasonable, it is indeed difficult for you to easily believe my statement as a defeated general." Then I'll tell you my reasons, believe it or not, it depends on what you General Li Yi mean. ”

Bernie cleared his throat before he spoke again: "In fact, this time, before the Tianlan Empire conquered the Yanlong Legion, the ills in the empire had already begun to be revealed. The economy is weak and unable to distribute war subsidies to soldiers in a timely manner, and even because the battle front is too long, the supply of grain and grass in the empire is insufficient, presumably General Li Yi should have paid attention to it a long time ago. Therefore, the reason for the failure of this expedition was the problem of the empire itself, not that the soldiers of the expeditionary force were not strong enough in combat and the generals were not wise enough. ”

"Well, that's true, the main reason for the failure of the Tianlan Empire this time is that the Tianlan Empire is too aggressive." Listening to Bernie's story, Li Yi nodded and said.

Hearing Li Yi's words, Bernie also nodded in agreement, and then continued to speak: "But those princes and ministers of the Tianlan Empire, even the Emperor Kevin, who thinks he is extremely wise, don't think so. They believed that the failure of this expedition was entirely due to the unfavorable command of General Ronin. And the imperial side also doubted the loyalty of the old general because of several dissuasions from the old general to continue the attack. As an opponent, in fact, I still admire your Yanlong Legion's battle plan this time. I have to say that your procrastination trick has indeed dragged down the Tianlan Empire. But now that the situation has developed to the point where the top leaders of the empire do not admit that their decisions are wrong, they just blindly shift all the blame to the old general Luo Ning. If my expectations are correct, the order to execute General Ronin should now be on the way. By the time the old general retreats to the King of Seine with his men and horses, even if you don't capture this place, the fate of the old general's beheading is inevitable. ”

Hearing Bernie say this, Li Yi's heart couldn't help but move. Yes, this time the expedition of the Tianlan Empire failed, although the Tianlan Empire had obvious flaws in its preparations, but those high-level people would definitely not admit their mistakes. Lieutenant General Luo Ning had wanted to delay the attack of the Tianlan Empire's troops many times, and Li Yi also knew about it. Now that the war has been defeated, Lieutenant General Luo Ning, as the supreme commander, can only be counted as guilty if he dies.

It's just that Li Yi doesn't understand why this officer named Bernie is telling him this at such a time. Does he think that he will kindly save Luo Ning's life at such a time? Even if you have this heart, how can you have this strength. After all, although the Yanlong Legion won this time, it was not strong enough to influence the decisions of the royal family of the Tianlan Empire. If Emperor Kevin wants Lieutenant General Luo Ning to die, what can he do?

Besides, the killing of Lieutenant General Luo Ning is also good news for the Yanlong Legion. If this veteran general, who has fought for the Tianlan Empire all his life, continues to live, the Yanlong Legion will still have a headache. He died, and the loss of the Tianlan Empire could be said to be very huge. Being able to see this kind of excitement, who in the Yanlong Legion would stop it.

So after thinking for a while, Li Yi smiled and said to Bernie: "Well, I can also think of all the things you said. It's just that I don't understand, what does it have to do with whether you are bringing troops to us or not when you tell me this. ”

"General Li Yi, since things have developed to this point now, let me tell you what is in my heart, in fact, the current Tianlan Empire is no longer what you knew back then. The empire is already terrible to the extreme, the civil servants are corrupt, and the generals are incompetent. In fact, such an empire is no longer worth the hard work of our soldiers. General Luo Ning is not wrong, and he is one of the few practical figures in the Tianlan Empire now, if he dies, I don't know how many people will sigh for him. So I decided to take refuge with you, there is only one request, that is, when General Luo Ning leads the troops to the Seine King City, I hope that General Li Yi can spare General Luo Ning, and then we, the generals, will go out of the city to persuade the old general, and win the old general into the camp of the Yanlong Legion. Looking at Li Yi intently, Bernie said very seriously.

After listening to Bernie's words, Li Yi was really surprised. He couldn't have imagined that this seemingly unremarkable guy would be able to say such shocking news as soon as he opened his mouth.

What does it mean to win Lieutenant General Luo Ning into the camp of the Yanlong Legion, this means that Lieutenant General Luo Ning will also surrender to the Yanlong Legion. At that time, the commander has been lowered, where will the 400,000 troops under him go, how can he not join the Yanlong Legion with Lieutenant General Luo Ning.

So after listening to Bernie's suggestion, Li Yi's eyes immediately lit up, and then he said to Bernie with a little excitement: "Are you sure you can persuade the old general to join the Yanlong Legion?" ”

Hearing Li Yi's inquiry, Bernie smiled bitterly, and then said helplessly: "I just said let me go out of the city to try, as for whether I can succeed, it still depends on the old general's will." However, based on my understanding of the old general, it is estimated that when I tell him my thoughts in person, the old general will immediately push me out of the big tent and behead me, and then after learning that the city of Seine is lost, he will immediately send people to attack the city of Seine. ”

"Hehe, you know that old stubborn. If you know you're going to end up like that, why try it? Aren't you afraid of death? Looking at Bernie playfully, Li Yi asked with a smile.

Hearing Li Yi's slightly joking words, Bernie only smiled helplessly, and then continued: "What can I do even if I die, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, I always don't want to watch the pillars of the empire die like this." The Tianlan Empire has run out of energy, and if the top leaders of the empire are still obsessed, sooner or later they will follow in the footsteps of the Sayy Empire. It's just that the old general is innocent, and he doesn't need to sacrifice his life in vain for such an empire that he doesn't trust at all. Until now, the old general knew that he would die after returning home, but he still led his troops to the city of Seine, regardless of the hardships. If he really has a different heart, if he doesn't move his troops now and occupies a place in the province of Say, even if the Tianlan Empire has the heart to conquer him, it will be powerless. It's just that the old general didn't do it, so I don't want to watch such a hero go to tragedy either. ”

In fact, when Bernie just walked up to Li Yi and told Li Yi that he wanted to take the initiative to join the Yanlong Legion, Li Yi didn't have much affection for this seemingly mediocre officer of the Tianlan Empire. In his opinion, the reason why this Bernie did this was nothing more than to show his loyalty to himself in advance, and use it as capital, so that he could continue to seek a high position in the Yanlong Legion in the future.

It's just that after he listened to Bernie's eloquent speech, Li Yi's opinion of him completely changed. Although Bernie kept saying that most of the current generals of the Tianlan Empire were incompetent, this did not mean that the bloody soldiers in the army of the Tianlan Empire had completely disappeared.

The Bernie in front of him can be regarded as a man, and Lieutenant General Luo Ning, who is worshiped as a god in his mouth, is also a hero who stands up to the sky.

If the Tianlan Empire wasn't too corrupt, it would be extremely difficult for other forces to eliminate them just by relying on these powerful generals.

It's just that no matter what you say now, it's useless, and the Tianlan Empire can be said to be exhausted. Sooner or later, this empire that does not know how to make progress will go to a state of destruction.

Putting aside these future topics, the decision Li Yi needs to make now is whether to believe Bernie's words and give Bernie a chance to go out of the city to persuade Lieutenant General Luo Ning to surrender when Lieutenant General Luo Ning leads his troops to the Seine King City.

After thinking carefully for a while, Li Yi felt that it was not bad to agree with his suggestion. Because this is fundamentally a method that is beneficial to the Yanlong Legion and harmless.

If it succeeds, then everyone will be happy. The Yanlong Legion not only absorbed more than 400,000 tiger and wolf divisions at once, but also gained a god-level figure - Lieutenant General Luo Ning.

Even if it fails, it is just the death of a prisoner of war officer. This did not have much impact on Li Yi's insistence on the Seine King City.

So after thinking about all this, Li Yi immediately smiled and said to Bernie: "Okay, since General Bernie wants to go out of the city and give it a try, then when the time comes, I will naturally give you this opportunity." I just hope that the general will have better luck, and if he fails, he will not be immediately sentenced to death by Lieutenant General Luo Ning. ”

Hearing that Li Yi agreed to his suggestion, Bernie finally breathed a sigh of relief. After that, he didn't say anything to Li Yi, but when Li Yi looked at his eyes, he always found that there was always lingering melancholy in Bernie's eyes.

Five days later, the Yanlong Legion, which had completely controlled the Seine King City, heard a major news, that is, Lieutenant General Luo Ning, who had been defeated in Xicheng, finally appeared in the field of vision of the Seine King City with a defeated army of 400,000.

Hearing the news, Li Yi was also inexplicably excited. Because of that contradiction back then, Li Yi hadn't seen this old god of war of the Tianlan Empire for twenty years.

Although more than 20 years have passed since that war, after so many years of experience, there is still time to wash. Li Yi's resentment towards Lieutenant General Luo Ning is not as deep as it was twenty years ago, but after all, there is still some unhappiness between the two. So thinking that he was about to meet with Lieutenant General Luo Ning, and that he was going to be a winner, Li Yi actually felt a little awkward.

After all, Li Yi also has a good impression of this old general. Li Yi could feel that he wanted to train himself as his successor back then. It was only by mistake that he made an enmity with the Tianlan Empire, and at the same time formed a hatred with him.

But just when Li Yi was thinking nonsense, Yadi suddenly came to Li Yi's side, and then said to Li Yi with a smile: "Li Yi, your old boss has now brought his people to the city of Seine, don't you go to meet his old man?" ”

Hearing Yadi's joke, Li Yi smiled bitterly, then stood up and said to Yadi: "Okay, I don't owe him anything, what am I afraid of, it's okay to go and see him, for Lieutenant General Luo Ning, there must be a settlement." ”

At this time, Lieutenant General Luo Ning, who was outside the Seine Royal City, was stunned when he came here with his men and horses, but found that the banner on the royal city had been replaced by the banner of the Yanlong Legion. Although he couldn't figure out why this was happening, the old general finally thought about it very calmly outside the city.

After all, although the royal city of Seine had changed hands, when he led his troops to the city gate, the defenders of the city still did not attack his troops, which proved that things must have twisted and turned.

So Ronin waited, waiting for an answer from the people in the Seine King's City.

It's just that what Luo Ning couldn't have imagined was that after he waited patiently for a while, a voice suddenly sounded on the head of the Seine King City: "General Luo Ning, I haven't seen you for twenty years, don't come unharmed." ”

Although the voice he heard made Luo Ning feel very familiar, when he heard the last sentence "Don't come to harm", his brows couldn't help frowning.

Because the current situation of Lieutenant General Luo Ning cannot be described as unharmed at all. The failure of the expedition to the southern border of Said, the fatigue of the carriage and horses on the way to withdraw the troops, and the current Lieutenant General Luo Ning has long lost the breeze of the past, and the remnants of the defeated generals gathered under the city, with a lost expression on his face.

But Shi Ke can't be humiliated, and when he heard that harsh greeting, Lieutenant General Luo Ning immediately looked up at Xiangcheng. First, he wanted to see what kind of sacredness could take over the royal city of Seine without realizing it.

Second, Lieutenant General Luo Ning also wanted to know that the voice that sounded somewhat familiar was the old man he used to be.

But when he looked up and saw Li Yi who was looking at him with a smile on his face at the head of the city, the expression on Lieutenant General Luo Ning's face couldn't help but freeze.

Because he never imagined that after twenty years, he would meet Li Yi again, and it was still in the current situation.

At that moment, Lieutenant General Luo Ning didn't know what to say, he just looked at Li Yi in a daze and didn't say a word.

Seeing that Lieutenant General Luo Ning was stunned, Li Yi did not continue to make trouble. After all, in Li Yi's heart, Lieutenant General Luo Ning's character and ability are very appreciated by him, there is just some misunderstanding between the two of them, and the cause of this misunderstanding is not Luo Ning.

So now that Lieutenant General Luo Ning has fallen to such a point, Li Yi doesn't want to fall into the well again. After all, Bernie is right, Lieutenant General Luo Ning is one of the few people in the current Tianlan Empire who can be called heroes. To treat such a strong man, we should not be extremely ridiculed, but should be treated with courtesy.

Thinking of this, Li Yi looked at Bernie beside him with a smile, then stretched out his right hand, grabbed Bernie, and jumped off the high wall of the Seine King City with him.
