After Yongjie sacrificed tens of thousands of barbarian troops, he finally returned to the Dianchi City with thousands of remaining people.
However, Yongjie was not out of danger yet. There were still many Yizhou troops pursuing him. If he did not return to the city as quickly as possible, he would still be in danger of being destroyed.
"Open the door! Open the door quickly!"
"General Yong is back! Open the city gate quickly!"
After some urging, a figure finally appeared on the city wall, it was Li Peng, the county captain of Dianchi Lake.
Li Peng is a member of the Li family in Yizhou County, and he is the contemporary head of the Li family. The Li family is second only to the Yong family in Yizhou County.
However, the Yong family has been standing in Yizhou County for hundreds of years, and the gap between the Li family and the Yong family is not the slightest bit.
"Where is General Yong?"
Li Peng was very cautious and did not open the city gate immediately. He still remembered Yong Jie's order to guard the city gate.
"Li Peng, open the door quickly, I am here!"
Yong Jie quickly threw away his hat and shouted to Li Peng on the city.
"General Yong, wait a moment, General Mo will open the city gate right now!"
After Li Peng made his promise, there was no movement at the city gate. Yong Jie was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and kept looking around.
At this moment, bursts of dust kicked up from behind the army, and shouts of killing continued to be heard.
"Lord, it's bad, the pursuers are coming!"
Yong Jie suddenly panicked and shouted to the city.
"Li Peng, open the door quickly! Hurry!"
Yong Jie had only two choices at this time, one was to continue waiting for Li Peng to open the door for him, the other was to run away quickly and escape from this place first.
If you continue to wait, it is possible that the enemy will not open the city gate even after they reach it, so Yong Jie will have no choice but to capture him.
If you choose to escape, you will also face a situation where you have nowhere to go. After all, the Yong family's home base is in Dianchi Lake.
Yong Jie couldn't help but trembled at the thought of hiding in the mountains for the rest of his life.
In the end, Yongjie chose to stay at the city gate and wait for a glimmer of hope. After all, for Yongjie, who had been pampered since childhood, it was better to give it a try and live a miserable life of wandering around the world.
This time luck was finally on Yong Jie's side, and before the pursuers from behind arrived, the suspension bridge was gradually lowered.
rumble...
Looking at the city gate that was gradually opening, Yong Jie finally showed a smile.
Dianchi Lake is the seat of Yizhou County. The city is tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Yongjie relied on the Yong family's position in Dianchi Lake to be able to resist the attack of Liu Zhang's army for a long time.
Once he is unable to capture Dianchi Lake for a long time, Liu Zhang's logistical pressure will suddenly increase greatly, and sooner or later he will inevitably retreat because he cannot withstand the pressure of food and grass.
At that time, Yong Jie's chance to make a comeback will come!
Yong Jie's smile grew stronger and stronger. Although he was defeated this time, there was no good news.
The large number of casualties among the barbarians will inevitably arouse the resentment of the entire barbarians against Liu Zhang, and the only person the barbarians can rely on is undoubtedly the Yong family!
After the city gate was completely opened, Yong Jie did not rush in immediately. Instead, he froze on the spot, with a smile frozen on his face.
"This this..."
Yong Jie stared blankly at the densely packed armored soldiers in the city, and his brain suddenly fell into a short-circuit state.
It is true that there are soldiers and horses in Dianchi City, but where are there so many? They are still such elite armored troops!
Suddenly, a figure appeared in Yong Jie's eyes, making him even more confused.
The young man in front of me turned out to be Li Hui, Li Peng's eighteen-year-old son.
"Li...Li Hui? You...where is your father? Are these the soldiers and horses of your Li family?"
When asked this, Yong Jie himself didn't believe it.
He knew the power of the Li family very clearly. If the Li family had such an armored army, how could they always succumb to the Yong family?
"The traitor Yong Jie, general guard's heavenly troops are here, why don't you dismount and surrender!"
"What did you say!"
Hearing Li Hui's roar, Yong Jie, no matter how stupid he was, understood that the Li family had rebelled!
Li Peng must have dedicated the capital of Dianchi Lake to Liu Zhang!
"Where's Li Peng! Come out!"
"I, Yongjie, treat you well, why are you turning against me?"
The Yong family and the Li family have been coexisting for hundreds of years, and even the rise of the Li family is inseparable from the Yong family's help!
Such a great favor to the Li family and no conflict occurred. Yong Jie still couldn't figure out the reason why Li Peng betrayed him.
"Li Hui, call your father out! Doesn't he have the face to face me?"
Yong Jie roared heartbreakingly, and all doubts were solved at this moment.
No wonder their raid on Liu Zhang's camp failed. No wonder Liu Zhang was able to deal with the two barbarian armies so perfectly. It turned out that there was a spy who tipped them off!
Li Hui's childish face showed a disdainful smile, and his eyes were filled with contempt.
"Yongjie! You are an incompetent person with a cruel nature and no virtue. How can you bring comfort to the people of Nanzhong?"
"Since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to roost, and wise ministers have chosen their masters to serve. My Li family submits to the emperor and serves General Wei, why not?" "Your ancestor, Yong Chi, has always been a capricious villain.
Gaozu was magnanimous and refused to pursue the case. Unexpectedly, four hundred years later, the descendants of Yongchi did not appreciate Gaozu's kindness, but instead had different intentions and tried to sway the Han Dynasty!"
"I, Mr. Li, have lived in the Han Dynasty for a long time, and I am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty! How can I associate with rebellious ministers and traitors like you! Rebellious traitors! Why don't you dismount your horse and surrender!"
Li Hui's harsh words made Yong Jie speechless and his face turned red.
Thinking that before he left the city, Li Peng vowed to him to defend Dianchi Lake, Yong Jie couldn't help but become furious.
"Thieves who betray the Lord, even if I die, I, Yongjie, will slaughter all of your Li family!"
"Kill with me!"
Behind Yong Jie were almost all dead soldiers of the Yong family. After hearing Yong Jie's order, they still rushed forward without fear of death.
Because Li Hui stood too close to the front, Yong Jie had a killing look on his face in an instant.
"I'll kill you first and make Li Peng regret it for the rest of his life!"
Yong Jie is well aware of the importance of Li Hui in the Li family, and he is regarded by the Li family as an important talent for revitalizing the Li family.
If Li Hui could be killed, Li Peng would definitely be miserable about what happened today.
"Boy, if you want to blame, blame your father for his betrayal!"
when!
At the critical moment, a halberd suddenly struck, accurately hitting Yong Jie's sword and cutting it off!
Then a giant giant Khan suddenly appeared and protected Li Hui behind him.
"Rebel, this general is here, yet he dares to act so arrogantly!"
Yong Jie suddenly froze on the spot. He realized that the man sitting on the horse was not as tall as the giant man in front of him.
"Thank you, General Dian!"
Li Hui can stand here confidently, so he naturally has something to rely on.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter! My lord said, you are a talent, let me protect you!"
"You can do it, kid. What you said is well-founded. I give you a thumbs up!"
Dian Wei had followed Liu Zhang for many years and met countless capable people with lofty ideals. Just after hearing Li Hui's angry rebuke, he recognized him in his heart.
"General Dian, Yongjie is a key figure in the enemy's army. Don't let him go! Behind him are soldiers trained by Yongjie. General Dian must not be careless!"
Dian Wei smiled slightly, not to mention these dead soldiers, even the barbarians were here, he was still fearless.
Dianwei's great halberd was seen waving forward and giving the order to attack.
