A few months ago, Lei Yuan had awe for these figures who were famous in history. One of the effects of his previous life on Lei Yuan was that he often subconsciously told himself that I was just an ordinary person, and these in front of him were outstanding people who would, or had been a powerful figure, and could be remembered thousands of years later.

But this influence is fading. As he becomes more and more integrated into this era, he has come into contact with more and more ancient people. His horizons are becoming more and more broad and his confidence in himself is becoming stronger and stronger. Many famous figures have even become defeated generals under his sword. Since that is the case, what about the so-called ancient people? In the history of Lei Yuan's existence, how could Lei Yuan himself not be famous and passed down through history and became an ancient person who was later generations?

When Lei Yuan thought about this, his eyes were always on Li Yan, and he didn't realize that Li Yan began to be nervous.

After all, the two have different identities, and the situation of one being a knife and the other being a fish is obvious. Even if Li Yan claims to be extremely courageous, he will inevitably be timid. He only feels that the young man in front of him is unpredictable, and the more silent he is, the more powerful he is, which makes him stand up and sweats heavily behind him.

After a while, Lei Yuan said: "From Zi to Wu County, they are all under Jingzhou. Now Duke Xuande is the governor of Jingzhou. Should the official side consider reporting to Duke Xuande in person for the past few years? I have been here for a long time and have been deeply aware of the situation and will definitely receive the attention of my lord."

"Actually, I have been trying to do this for a long time. It has been delayed until now because I was in Chengdu and could not find a suitable opportunity." Li Yan nodded.

"It's so good, then, I will arrange for my subordinates to accompany you..."

Lei Yuan had just said a little while but was interrupted by Li Yan: "However, since I saw the Lei tribe in Lujiang today and the general, I plan to go back to Chengdu, so I don't have to pay homage to Duke Xuande for the time being."

This is a bit unexpected.

After a brief shock, Lei Yuan smiled and said, "Why should the righteous side do this? Could it be that my subordinates have just had something rude to make you unhappy?"

He was still kind of polite to his words, but Lei Yuan sat upright and his palm was pressed on the hilt of the sword.

Lei Yuan has been able to command thousands of soldiers and rule tens of thousands of people after many bloody battles. He has his own arrogance and aura. However, Li Yan, no matter what he does in the future, he is just a short-selling county magistrate sent to Jingzhou to cause trouble. If he is ungrateful, Lei Yuan would not mind letting one more person die in Yiling City.

A sharp look appeared in his eyes, which shocked Li Yan in an instant.

Li Yan waved his hands repeatedly: "General Lei, don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of despising my noble family or looking down on me."

He sat in a straight position and said seriously: "I will not hide it from General Lei. When I was young, I, Li Zhengfang, also joined the army to kill bandits and made great achievements. Later, as the magistrate of Zigui County, recruited talented brave men and used military tactics to form a few years ago. Although the number of people was only more than a hundred, I was confident that I could defeat several times the enemy and become the backbone of thousands of troops; it was enough to be rampant in Shu. Unfortunately, half of this group had just fallen under General Lei's military front."

"The Lei family in Lujiang was originally a powerful sect across the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. If they had not had this ability to save their lives, they would have been obscured in the troubled times." Lei Yuan nodded slightly: "Although the subordinates under him are all elite, they have lacked some fierce aura of ignoring life and death after being tragic killing."

"It's true." Li Yan sighed.

"When I was in Jingzhou, I long admired the reputation of Xuande Duke. At that time, Xuande Duke was stationed in a small town with thousands of ill-fated troops, but he was able to march northward to defeat Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin and other Cao camp generals. Wherever his military power came, he shook Nanyang. Such power was truly worthy of the hero of the world."

"Before I came to Yiling this time, I had some understanding of the generals under the Sun and Liu families. I also imagined that if I could move Chen Mi, re-enter the counties of Xiajiang, and deal with them separately according to the different abilities and personalities of the generals. However, I never expected that Xuande Duke's movements were so fast, and General Lei's attacks were so fierce. What would happen to General Lei's troops and generals who were famous for Guan and Zhang? From this point of view, Xuande Duke's wings were full and it was time to flap his wings and take off."

"What does Mr. Zhengfang mean?"

Li Yan clasped his fists with his hands, pressed his fists on the mat, bowed to Lei Yuan and said, "I am not familiar with the Central Plains, Hebei, nor Jiangdong. However, because of the experiences over the past few years, I have some understanding of Yizhou. In my opinion, Liu Jiyu is really a mediocre master compared to Xuande Gong, and Yizhou is a fertile land of thousands of miles..."

"Stop!" Lei Yuan raised his voice and blocked Li Yan's words.

Xuande Gong's strategy of having Jing Yi was a secret limited to a very small range. Even Lei Yuan himself had not heard of it, and he was sure of relying on the knowledge of later generations. However, Li Yan saw through it so easily, either because he had extremely outstanding vision and insight; or because he was used to rash words, his ideas and practices were frivolous; of course, it was also possible that he was talking nonsense to protect his life. With Lei Yuan's understanding of Li Yan, he probably had all three.

Lei Yuan's thoughts changed rapidly, but his expression was very calm on his face. He waved his hand in a disregarded manner: "My lord is a patron of the Han Dynasty and is a relative of Liu Jiyu, so he should watch and help each other. Before, the Marquis of Wu intended to raise an army to attack Shu, but he was blocked by my lord. Mr. Zhengfang, don't say such words."

Li Yan also realized at this time that this was in the hall surrounded by armored soldiers, with many people and mixed people, which was not suitable for deep conversation. He couldn't help but feel ashamed. When he saw the general under Xuande Gong for the first time, he was inevitably anxious to show off and miscalculated, but he must not leave any bad impressions for this.

While he was thinking, Lei Yuan asked again: "I still didn't say anything, why did you want to go back to Chengdu?"

Li Yan exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He also felt that what he said just now did not touch Lei Yuan at all. Lei Yuan knew very well about Yizhou, but he was unwilling to discuss it with him. Perhaps, he should go to Jingzhou and explain it to Xuande Gong in person?

No, that's not the case.

With the current situation, according to the heroic ruler of Jingzhou, the next goal must be Yizhou. Lei Yuan said just now that Duke Xuande wanted to recruit Gan Ning... This Gan Ning was just a reckless man in Shu, so why did Duke Xuande take so much attention? In nine out of ten, the plan had been decided long ago, and I didn't need to lobby or promote it.

Li Yan was a little depressed, but he immediately cheered up and said to himself: It's okay. I can do something more practical and truly important that can determine the situation.

Thinking of this, Li Yan looked around without realizing it, looked at Lei Yuan and the soldiers beside him, and thought, "If I could provide practical help to the master, wouldn't it be better than vernacular? By then, my identity and status would definitely be above these warriors."

He calmed down and explained to Lei Yuan: "I came here. Out of Liu Jiyu's instructions, if I hurriedly return to Duke Xuande, it would probably cause Liu Jiyu's unhappiness. Therefore, it would be better to go back to Chengdu first. Please rest assured General Lei, when I see you again in the future, I will definitely benefit Duke Xuande."

Lei Yuan couldn't help but admire him. It seems that this gentleman has already determined the meaning of Xuande Gong. It is really not easy to be a 25-year-old.

So he shook his head in Li Yan's expectant eyes.

Dozens of subordinates in the hall thought Lei Yuan was about to deal with Li Yan, so they pressed the handle of the knife and stepped forward half a step. The armor leaves around them vibrated and made a clanging sound.

Li Yan's face turned pale instantly.

He tried his best to suppress his tension and fear, and wanted to fight for himself. But he heard Lei Yuan say, "Mr. Zhengfang wants to return to Chengdu, so as not to hurry in one or two days. This afternoon, our successor army will all arrive in Yiling. I should lead a group of troops and send my feet to Zigui to avoid any changes on the way, okay?"

Huh...so that's it?

Li Yan understood very well that after this army accompanied him to Zigui, he might not leave, and he might have to change hands with Wu County. But he suddenly had no energy to argue about these things, and just smiled bitterly and said to Lei Yuan, "I will listen to the general's arrangements."
