Looking at Gan Ning who suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Yan did not hesitate to take Gan Ning's head with the long knife in his hand. It looked as if he was going to chop Gan Ning's head into pieces, revealing an aura of ruthlessness and determination.
"Li Yan?"
Liu Qi was slightly surprised when he saw the ruthless Li Yan. Although he knew that Li Yan was a civilized and martial artist, and even knew that Li Yan's martial arts and literary talents were only slightly inferior to those of Zhuge Liang, Huang Zhong and others. But he had seen Li Yan like this recently.
His decisiveness in killing also surprised him a little.
"My lord, Li Yan is both civil and military. Not only can he fight fiercely with General Gan without falling behind, but his methods are also very good. According to the news from the Jin Yiwei, Liu Zhang was able to mobilize an army of 200,000 this time without any worries.
, Li Yan is indispensable."
Zhuge Liang beside Liu Qi sighed.
"I underestimated him." Liu Qi shook his head. Although he thought Li Yan was very talented, he didn't like being so narrow-minded. There were too many talented people in the world, and he didn't need such a person.
"Well, Zilong is going to win." Liu Qi suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun.
Huang Quan was seen using all his strength in one move. Before he could retract the sword, the spear in Zhao Yun's hand was thrust straight into Huang Quan's chest again. This time, Huang Quan's body had not regained its balance and there was no way to dodge.
Forced into a blind corner, Huang Quan took a deep breath, with determination in his eyes. He used his legs a little to avoid his heart, allowing the spear to penetrate the armor and penetrate into his body. Then he glared sharply and endured
Feeling severe pain in his body, he suddenly pulled back his long knife and struck Zhao Yun's head straight.
Seeing Huang Quan like this, Zhao Yun was also slightly shocked. Huang Quan looked elegant and elegant, but he didn't expect to be so ruthless, even trying to hurt him, but he was seriously injured.
Shocked in his heart, Zhao Yun retracted his spear instantly, raised his arms to block Huang Quan's sword, and then turned slightly sideways and passed by Huang Quan, causing Huang Quan on horseback to spit out blood and his body became shaky.
stand up.
Turning the horse's head, Zhao Yun looked up at Huang Quan, with admiration hidden in his eyes: "You are very good, I won't kill you."
Huang Quan, who was supporting himself on the horse, was stunned when he heard this, and then bowed to Zhao Yun, unable to hold on any longer and fell on the horse's back.
"General Huang?" Seeing Huang Quan fall, there was a cry of exclamation from the top of the city tower. Huang Quan was a humble and polite man, and he had many connections in Yizhou.
"Someone help Gong Heng back." Liu Zhang ordered the people beside him with a gloomy face.
After a while, the city gate opened and a group of soldiers rushed out to help Huang Quan into the city. Then there was a sound of gold, and Li Yan immediately abandoned Gan Ning, turned his horse and rushed into the city.
At the same time, Gan Ning and Zhao Yun also returned to the formation.
"My lord, I finally let Huang Quan go because he made an independent decision, and I also ask my lord to atone for his sins." Returning to the front of the formation, Zhao Yun bowed to Liu Qi.
Liu Qi chuckled lightly, stretched out his hand to help Zhao Yun stand up: "It doesn't matter, I admire Huang Quan very much, but it is a pity to die like this under your gun."
"Thank you, Lord." Zhao Yun felt relieved and stood up with a smile on his face. He already understood what Liu Qi meant. Liu Qi said this with the intention of subduing Huang Quan.
"Liu Yizhou should know that destiny is irreversible. The situation in Yizhou is now over. Leaving the city and surrendering as soon as possible can save the lives of the people of Yizhou. And as long as you wait for your surrender, I will send a letter to the emperor to hold you and wait for your title." Liu Qi patted his horse and stepped forward to look up at the tower.
He shouted loudly, the sound was not loud but it could be heard clearly throughout the entire tower.
"Hmph, Liu Qi, you are going against the grain and starting a war. How can I do what you want? Although you have a slight upper hand today, I have 200,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou here. I want to see how you capture Mianzhu?"
Liu Zhang was dissatisfied because of Huang Quan's injury. When he heard Liu Qi say this, he immediately got angry and shouted at Liu Qi.
"Haha, you are relying on Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, but you expect these two people to sneak attack on me in Jingzhou?" Liu Qi suddenly chuckled and looked at the top of the tower with a smile on his face.
"Huh?" Liu Zhang's expression changed. He did the sneak attack on Jingzhou in an extremely secretive manner. He didn't expect that Liu Qi would already know about it. However, Yan Yan and Zhang Ren should have arrived in Jingzhou by now. Even if Liu Qi knew about it, what could he do?
?
However, looking at Liu Qi's half-smiling expression, Liu Zhang felt a little uneasy.
"Liu Yizhou is arrogant and wants to compete with me in Jingzhou. Are you going to coexist with him? You should know how Liu Zhang treats you. Isn't this a lesson to the Wu family?" Ignoring Liu Zhang anymore, Liu Qi turned around.
He turned his head and looked at the other people on the tower.
"No, this Liu Qi wants to alienate the relationship between the lord and various aristocratic families." Beside Liu Zhang, Zheng Du's expression changed and his gaze towards Liu Qi immediately became extremely solemn.
Turning his head to look at the crowd, sure enough, the eyes of everyone on the tower were already flashing, and they obviously had a plan in mind.
The current situation is indeed a bit difficult for Yizhou, but as long as Zhang Ren and Yan Yan can succeed, the entire situation in Yizhou can be reversed.
It is precisely because of this that everyone's eyes flickered and their expressions revealed a bit of understanding. Until now, everyone had no idea why Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were not there at the same time in such a big battle. It was not until this moment that they knew that this was happening.
The two of them went to sneak attack Jingzhou.
However, judging from Liu Zhang's intention, Liu Qi seemed to have discovered it a long time ago and did not pay too much attention to Zhang Ren and Yan Yan's sneak attack.
Even Liu Zhang on the side was angry. The Wu family was suppressed because of Wu Yi, but maybe it was because the Wu family had expanded its power too fast in recent years. But how could this be explained to others.
"Let's go." After saying this, Liu Qi glanced at the people on the tower, turned his horse and led the army away.
He said this not because he expected these aristocratic families to break with Liu Zhang, but he just hoped that these people would not resist too fiercely after Liu Zhang's defeat.
Although he hates these aristocratic families, Liu Qi has to admit that these aristocratic families are indeed very useful sometimes. Just like Liu Zhang now, even though he knows that Liu Qi just said it casually, he can no longer believe in these aristocratic families.
……………………………………………………
The army retreated for more than ten miles and set up camp on a hillside. This hillside had a very wide view and could even see the situation in Mianzhu City.
In a large tent, Liu Qi and others were discussing the next action.
"Zilong, lead 10,000 people to bypass Mianzhu and go to the hinterland of Yizhou." Liu Qi raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yun. Only Zhao Yun here was suitable to attack the Yizhou city deep into the hinterland.
"My lord, let the last general make a sneak attack on Chengdu?" Zhao Yun said with a somewhat puzzled expression. Even if Chengdu is empty, he cannot make a sneak attack, and it seems that the situation of the army at this time cannot be hidden from Yizhou's eyes and ears.
"Instead of asking you to sneak attack on Chengdu, my lord wants you to sneak attack on other places in Chengdu, whether it is a place to store grain and grass or an important city in Yizhou." Zhuge Liang shook his head and explained.
"My lord means to let the last general sneak attack Yizhou city, so that Yizhou can come under pressure." Zhao Yun said with a flash of light in his eyes.
"Yes, Chengdu, the most important place in Yizhou, cannot be captured in one day, but most of the defenders in other places have been extracted by Liu Zhang, making it easier to attack. Yi Zilong can only attack it in one day.
After visiting a few cities, I want to see if Liu Zhang can still sit still in this city." Liu Qi sneered.
"No." Zhao Yun bowed in response.
"Also, when Zhang Ren goes to Jingzhou for a sneak attack, he will definitely choose the nearest Wuling County. Although Wang Can of Wuling County has just taken office, it should not be difficult to resist Zhang Ren's attack in a short time. The reinforcements from Changsha Guiyang will be able to arrive later.
Come, and I think the land of Xiangyang must have a way to deal with it. If Zhang Ren really captures Wuling while you are here, then you can go directly to Wuling and hold him back. If Zhang Ren is not captured, you can cut off his
Capture him alive from the back and kill him if necessary!"
Before Zhao Yun left, Liu Qi said here.
"Nuo." Zhao Yun's face looked slightly solemn. Preventing Zhang Ren from capturing Wuling was even more important than him capturing the city of Yizhou.
Deng Deng Deng…………
At this moment, a soldier in black clothes walked in quickly, saluted Liu Qi and said loudly: "Good news from Jingzhou, General Wang Yi severely damaged the Yizhou army, forced Yizhou General Yan Yan to surrender, and surrendered at the same time
There are also five thousand soldiers and horses from Yizhou."
The cold voice seemed to be mixed with excitement, and it echoed in the big tent for a long time. Liu Qi and others were stunned for a moment, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, Liu Qi did not pay attention to Yan Yan and Zhang Ren in front of the formation, but
Everyone knows the situation in Jingzhou at this time.
No one expected Yizhou's sneak attack. Once the sneak attack was successful, it would be like a bolt from the blue for Jingzhou. Now Yan Yan's surrender is enough to make several people breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay." Liu Qi shouted, with a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with the news.
"My lord, I will say goodbye." Zhao Yun took a deep breath. Although he was inexplicably excited, he did not dare to delay. Yan Yan had already attacked Jingzhou, and Zhang Ren would definitely not be too late. Wuling should already be fighting fiercely.
Alright.
Zhao Yun left quickly with an army of 10,000. The army of 10,000 only carried dry food for two days. Most of the cities in the hinterland of Yizhou were empty at that time, so it was easy to raise food and grass for the army of 10,000.
Also going with Zhao Yun was Wu Yi, who had just surrendered. Although he had no choice but to surrender, after receiving the news from the Wu clan in Yizhou, Wu Yi had completely turned to Jingzhou. The Wu clan had never had any dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang.
, and even more so to protect Liu Zhang and the entire Yizhou family as enemies. How could Wu Yi be willing to end up like this?
What's more, in his opinion, the Wu family is in the current situation because of him, and now the only way to revive the Wu family is to submit to Jingzhou.
