Although I don't know why Deputy Commander Chang was dressed as a Chuzhou army, many of them were looking forward to Chang Kuo's return. At this moment, there was a lot of commotion and noisy, and no one came forward for a while.
Li Yi was shocked when he saw this.
Chang Kuo is not dead!
He understood...it was not Chang Kuo who died, but the governor of Chuzhou!
That letter was just to lower his guard!
In a panic, he raised the head and shouted loudly: "Chang Kuo has killed the governor of Chuzhou and has rebelled. Take him down quickly!"
But soon there was a louder voice that overshadowed him. The voice was loud and sharp, and even someone who had been scolding people on the street for ten years could not compare to it——
The woman shouted in a voice that sounded like a curse. Although it was straightforward, it had a natural appeal that made dogs passing by want to stop and prick up their ears to hear what was going on: "The one who rebelled was the governor of Chuzhou, not our General Chang! Chuzhou
The governor colluded with Xu Zhengye and wanted to poison our General Chang to death. Fortunately, God has eyes and did not let the traitor who killed a thousand swords succeed!"
He said sincerely: "I am originally a citizen of Hezhou City. I think that when General Chang only brought 20,000 troops to rescue Hezhou, he was prepared to die!"
It is the desire to live and die with Hezhou...
Chang Suining wanted to correct him but held back. Let's just leave it at that. It's good to express yourself freely.
"I'm leaving my words here today. Even if I, the King of Heaven, rebel against me, General Chang Da will not rebel against me!"
When Mrs. Shepherd's Purse said this, she said loudly: "Those who slander General Chang as an anti-thief are the ones calling for "catch the thief!"
Li Yi, who was almost called by her by name, turned pale when he heard this. Why is there a scolding woman here?
Chang Kuo couldn't have hired a woman to scold the formation?!
Seeing the discussion among the army, Li Yi was already panicking: "Where did this vulgar woman come from? How dare you talk nonsense here? Why don't you kill these rebels quickly!"
At this time, a young man wearing Chuzhou military uniform appeared on horseback beside Chang Kuo. The horse took half a step forward, looked at him, and raised his hand to show something.
It was a roll of bright yellow silk with dark blood stains on it.
This object stopped Li Yi's soldiers who were about to take the lead in attacking again.
The young man on the horse spoke with a girlish tone. She looked down at Li Yi and said, "General Li claims that he is not a rebel. If he is not, then kneel down and accept the order."
Looking at the thing in her hand, Li Yi's eyes were shocked.
He searched the entire military camp that day, but could not find the imperial edict brought by He Wei and others... Unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of Chang Kuo and others!
He stared hard at the girl, who was also looking at him and asked: "Don't you kneel before the imperial edict?"
Li Yi gritted his teeth: "What imperial edict... I wonder if it was forged by you!"
But seeing that the other party didn't seem to be listening to him at all, he said to himself: "It's okay if you don't kneel down, just stand and listen."
The young girl unfolded the silk fabric and announced the decree loudly.
His voice was clear and spread everywhere.
Only when everyone in the army finally heard it did they realize that it was actually Yi Shuai's order!
Moreover, He Wei was asked to take over as the head coach...
Although many people did not see He Wei's death in the attack with their own eyes, they heard about it.
"This imperial edict was handed over to me by He Wei personally before he died." The girl finally said: "Li Yi was unwilling to give up his military power, so he secretly killed He Wei."
"That's nonsense! The rebels used false edicts to kill Zhongliang, which is exactly the same as what Xu Zhengye did in Yangzhou... Such dirty and insidious methods are not uncommon!" Li Yi refused to admit it even to the death.
Chang Kuo raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked loudly: "Xu Zhengye is also your lord now. If you insult him behind your back like this, aren't you afraid that he will put on your shoes in the future?"
There is no nonsense in front of the battle. Even if it is laughed at, it has the effect of inciting people's hearts.
Just like that imperial edict, not everyone may believe it, and Li Yi himself will not recognize it, but this does not mean that it is useless.
"I'm afraid you still don't know that Li Yi killed He Wei and tried to trap me to death in Hezhou, and that's not the whole truth!" Chang Kuo's voice became louder and more powerful amid the commotion: "He has already been secretly communicating with Xu Zhengye.
This trip to Yangzhou is said to be an attack on the city, but it is actually a surrender to the enemy!"
"He Wei died in the military camp, and the 80,000 troops ahead who were supposed to go to support Hezhou but are still standing still outside Yangzhou City are the best evidence!"
"The crime of Li Yi's rebellion has already been reported to the capital, and the imperial envoy who is ordered to punish him is on his way!"
After saying that, he raised his hand to behead Xiu, and Su Rong shouted: "Today, I will kill the rebel Li Yi!"
"I hope that those who follow will be rewarded based on their merits afterwards!"
"If anyone still wants to conspire with Li Yi, they will be regarded as traitors and will be punished by the same party!"
Chang Kuo's voice seemed to unleash a murderous aura, causing the army led by Li Yi to subconsciously hesitate and take half a step back.
"Don't listen to this thief's slanderous words!" Li Yi's voice was high but trembling: "I am a descendant of the Li family, and my father is Li Tong, the king of Huainan. I am loyal to the saint... How can an outsider and thief like this be slandered! Today
Whoever takes the head of the traitor Chang Kuo will be heavily rewarded by me!"
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and mounted his horse, making a brave gesture of killing the enemy.
Naturally, there were many of his men in the army, and they followed immediately when they saw the situation, raising their swords and shouting to kill.
The army surged, but it was also chaotic.
Some of them are more willing to believe what Chang Kuo said.
Some people had questioned the strangeness of Li Yi's march as early as when he left Shouzhou, but Li Yi suppressed it with strict military laws.
It was because Chang Kuo was away at that time, but now that Chang Kuo is back, and with someone supporting him to take charge of the overall situation, everyone's long-suppressed dissatisfaction exploded at this moment.
What they care about is not only the truth, but also what comes from the heart.
Regardless of whether Li Yi turned against the traitor or not, Yi Shuai's imperial edict does not seem to be fake!
Now that he has been replaced, he is no longer their coach, and what the other party says is no longer military orders, but bullshit!
Who would listen to that bullshit!
There was also a leader among these people, so many people began to fight back against their colleagues who were still taking orders from Li Yi.
Seeing the chaos in the army, Li Yi gritted his teeth with hatred.
This is one of the reasons why he had to kill Changkuo!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If he and Chang Kuo had switched identities today, I am afraid there would be no such chaos!
The hearts of these soldiers were crooked, they did not believe him at all, and they did not regard him as their true commander!
In the chaotic situation, he tried to stabilize people's hearts by raising flags of command.
After all, he had the upper hand in terms of numbers. Although there was internal strife in the army, it would not lose its momentum in an instant.
And with a total of 60,000 troops, Chang Kuo's words would definitely not reach everyone's ears. Many soldiers behind him didn't even know what was happening, so they could only follow the waving flag and rush forward to fight.
Li Yi took advantage of this gap to change the uniform of the same soldier to confuse his sight, and he fled from the rear with two aides and a group of confidants.
Li Yi sat on the horse, his heart almost beating out of his chest.
The reason why he acted like killing the enemy just now was just to deceive those soldiers.
Facing Chang Kuo, he knew that he had little chance of winning, so how could he dare to risk his own life?
They have to give up when it's time to give up. They can fight each other however they want. The longer they fight, the better. No matter how valuable these 60,000 troops are, they can't be worth his life!
Abandoning these 60,000 troops, he still has 80,000 troops ahead!
Fortunately, he had already sent a message to Yu Zai the night before!
Yu Zai must be on the way to meet him at this time. As long as he meets Yu Zai, he can immediately rush to Yangzhou to find Xu Zhengye.
Now there is only one thought in Li Yi's mind, escape, the sooner the better!
He left in time, but Shuai Qi was still there. With the situation so chaotic, Chang Kuo shouldn't have noticed it too quickly!
But there was one thing he didn't know. When Chang Sui Ning faced the enemy, he always liked to capture the thief first.
Capturing the thief first not only provides a shortcut to victory, but also means that a war can be ended as quickly as possible and the casualties on both sides can be minimized, so Chang Suining is very fond of it.
But at the same time, this method is also extremely risky. If the commander of an army wants to capture him, it means he has to go deep into the enemy's formation, especially a commander like Li Yi who likes to hide behind.
Accompanied by Vice General Jin, A Dian and others, Chang Suining had a clear goal and rushed towards the direction of the handsome flag.
The soldier pretending to be Li Yi, half-hiding his face with a bag, was already frightened to death. When he was knocked off his horse by the spear in Chang Suining's hand, he quickly climbed up and shouted in a trembling voice: "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
"Girl, this is not Li Yi!" Vice Admiral Jin realized later and cursed: "That coward actually ran away!"
He pointed the knife at the soldier: "Tell me which direction Li Yi escaped!"
The soldier shook his head in panic: "...I don't know!"
After he was forced to put on this extremely unlucky coach's armor, he didn't know anything anymore!
Chang Sui Ning had already captured the handsome flag and shouted loudly: "The rebel Li Yi has escaped, please stop the fight as soon as possible!"
The soldiers around him panicked when they heard this - in the middle of the battle, the commander ran away, who could not panic!
But the soldiers further away could not hear it for a while, so Chang Suining threw the handsome flag to Chang Ren and said: "Give this flag to Dad and let him keep it to calm the war!"
Among those who are still fighting for Li Yi, except for Li Yi's confidants, most of them are deceived by Li Yi. They should not waste their lives for this. The best way is to calm down the war as soon as possible.
Chang Ren took it: "Where's that girl?"
"I'm going to chase Li Yi!" Chang Suining shouted "drive" and rushed through the crowd with his horse and gun.
A Dian, Deputy General Jin and others immediately followed.
After rushing out of the crowd, Vice General Jin caught up with Chang Suining who was leading the way: "Young lady, do you know where Li Yi escaped to?"
"I know!" There was a fork in the road ahead, and the girl made her choice without hesitation.
Li Yi must be going to Yangzhou. There are many roads to Yangzhou, but he will only choose one when he flees in panic - that is the road that can connect with the 80,000 troops in front.
This is not difficult to guess, especially if the other party is Li Yi.
Vice Admiral Jin quickly figured this out.
The girl thought of it before he did, which made him, a man who has been marching for many years, feel a little ashamed.
What surprised him even more was that the girl was in front, leading them along the path. The path seemed to be twisted and twisted, but after chasing them for two quarters of an hour, they actually saw Li Yi and others leaving behind.
