Chapter 97
Because of Liu Xie's special status, some spies have been keeping an eye on him, covertly or covertly.
Therefore, Li Ru, Dong Zhuo and others would rarely discuss some secret matters with him. Of course, under unavoidable circumstances, it was still possible to get rid of the spies and contact Liu Xie to discuss important matters.
This matter only required Liu Xie's approval, so Li Ru and the others did not discuss it with Liu Xie.
But this does not hinder Liu Xie's cooperation.
With a look from Dong Zhuo's side, Liu Xie could often understand what he meant.
Of course, Liu Xie himself is also willing to do such a thing and give a reward to his lord. No matter how you look at it, how cool it is!
'The best thing is to do this a few times!'
Take the lord's money and power, reward the lord in your own name, and get promoted!
This feeling...
It’s really not an ordinary feeling of comfort!
Liu Xie felt that he was a little addicted. It was as satisfying as when he whipped Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu in the treasure house.
certainly.
He didn't dare to slap Lu Bu and the others now, and because of Zhou Yi's absence, he usually stayed cautiously in his own one-third of an acre of land. Watching Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, they all took a detour, fearing that Lu Bu and the others would think of the past.
Come and beat him!
Of course, when he couldn't avoid it, he would find ways to ask Xu Rong and Dong Huang for help. These two were Zhou Yi's confidants, especially Dong Huang. He knew that Liu Xie was someone Zhou Yi valued! How could he dare to be disrespectful?
It is precisely because Liu Xie is quite clever that Zhou Yi went on an expedition for a long time, and he was able to remain intact.
But even though his body was intact, his mind still suffered a lot of oppression, which was horrifying. Just because every time Lu Bu saw him, his eyes were full of evil, and the burning light bursting out of his eyes was enough to make ordinary people cringe!
Liu Xie is not an ordinary person, but because he has been deprived of his True Dragon Emperor Qi, he is not much stronger.
A 'weak' heart is suffering a lot these days!
He is now looking forward to Zhou Yi's early return every day so that he can be liberated early.
"Is this true?!"
Yang Biao was shocked and stunned! He couldn't help but interjected, "How long has it been since then?! General Zhou has actually defeated Han Sui in Fengcheng, and it was also in a siege battle? The opponent had half a million troops, occupying Tianshi
Under favorable geographical conditions? A big victory?! How is this possible?!"
It’s no wonder that Yang Biao had this expression of seeing a ghost.
This is really unbelievable!
You know, not long has passed since Zhou Yi conquered Tianshui County, only a few days.
For a few days, let alone dealing with the aftermath.
Even the work of reorganizing troops and generals may not be completed.
What's more, the journey from the border town of Tianshui to the Fengcheng of Wuwei is a long way, and the time spent traveling through mountains and rivers is absolutely measured in days, not to mention the various possible ambushes, wild beast attacks, etc. encountered along the way.
But even so.
They still defeated Han Sui and succeeded in one battle? In a very short time...
Big win?!
Are you kidding?!
"Yes. This is too outrageous."
Shi Sunrui was trembling physically and mentally, and his lips were trembling, "Anyone who knows a little bit about the military knows that siege warfare is extremely difficult. And as we all know, Fengcheng City has high walls and deep walls! It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It has the blessing of a variety of general trends. If someone has advanced cultivation and has studied many general trends, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to attack the city wall in just a few days.
Even if a peerless warrior really attacks, it will definitely not be a big victory. This is really unimaginable."
"That's right."
Huang Wan came out and said, "I am quite familiar with Han Sui. He has killed a lot of people along the way. The depth of the city and the ruthlessness of his methods are definitely not something that ordinary people can deal with.
And as far as I know, Han Sui has deeply cultivated the magic of general situation and made many achievements in siege warfare.
Not to mention the fledgling generals, even the experienced generals would never be able to win with a hard attack in just a few days when Han Sui had all the advantages! This is really unbelievable! Dong Xiangguo's words are too sensational!
"
"Actually, if we calculate the time, General Zhou might have taken less than a day to capture Fengcheng."
Huangfu Song said, "Reorganizing the army, spending money on the road, surrendering the generals, sorting out the aftermath, etc., no matter how quickly or regardless of the consequences, we delegate power to others, it will still take at least a few days. Calculate it this way. Maybe a siege battle
It only happened for a day, maybe even a few hours."
Huangfu Song said this.
The whole court was in an uproar and discussed a lot.
Huangfu Song ignored it and continued to talk to himself, "Han Sui was defeated in a few hours. And this was despite the loss of more than 400,000 cavalry, and the 100,000 baggage train could not fully keep up. It was a mixture of lowered soldiers.
How to listen, how to make people feel like they are listening to mythology!"
Even famous old generals like Huangfu Song said this. Suddenly, there was an uproar and even more doubts.
Cai Yong frowned and said nothing: of course he had thoughts on this matter, and he also felt that Zhou Yi, a young general who had just emerged from the army, could not be so defiant. But he was actually more concerned about the life, death and whereabouts of his daughter. But unfortunately,
He investigated openly and secretly for a long time, but knew nothing except that his daughter was not dead. The defense in the palace was tight! Especially since Xu Rong took over the Imperial Guard, the defense level has been rising even more.
There are several levels. It is extremely difficult to explore.
Yang Xiu's eyes flickered with uncertainty, and no one knew what he was thinking.
…
All the civil and military ministers of the dynasty had different expressions, some were deep in thought, some were expressing their opinions loudly, some were silent, or some were serious...
There are all kinds of things in the world.
"quiet!"
a long time.
Eunuch Zhao screamed.
All civil and military officials in the court fell silent for an instant.
Eunuch Zhao was a close minister of Liu Xie, or perhaps a close minister of Dong Zhuo.
He represents the face of the emperor, and may also represent the face of Dong Zhuo.
Therefore, no matter whether they were loyal ministers who were loyal to the Han Dynasty or "ministers" who tried to please Dong Zhuo, they would not dare to openly disobey Eunuch Zhao.
The main hall fell silent, and you could hear a needle drop.
Liu Xie coughed dryly and said decisively, "I believe that Mr. Xiangguo will immediately promote General Zhou. In addition, he will give General Zhou the right to open a government and build an army!"
As soon as this statement came out.
The whole court was shocked.
Countless people are so excited that they can hardly control themselves!
But the imperial edict has been issued, and no one dares to say more.
Immediately, someone accepted the order and went to write the edict. Afterwards, Liu Xie was asked to seal it...
One thing is over.
In front of all the ministers, Eunuch Zhao immediately held the imperial edict and left the palace.
He was going to Xiliang to personally issue the imperial edict to Zhou Yi.
………………
A court meeting.
It ended in a mess.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dispersed with strange and complicated thoughts.
Dong Zhuo smiled slightly, with an incomprehensible look on his face that they couldn't understand. In the past, anyone who dared to get angry with Dong Zhuo in the court would be beheaded immediately.
But what about lately?
The ministers frequently opposed Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo never said a word. Even if he occasionally objected, it was very simple and understated, and he was no longer as cruel and bloody as before.
This made the ministers very confused, and they once suspected that Dong Zhuo might be planning some big plan.
It wasn't until the events of Zhouyi happened recently that their focus shifted.
And because Dong Zhuo's attitude changed for the better, many veteran ministers who had learned the art of protecting themselves with wisdom and wisdom dared to openly oppose Dong Zhuo in the court.
Just like this time, many people questioned it.
Dong Zhuo remained calm and calm.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if Dong Zhuo's eyes that seemed to be "watching a monkey show" could be a little more restrained.
………………
On the way back.
All the officials were talking about it.
In the court hall, Dong Zhuo was there and some words could not be said.
But now that Dong Zhuo is away and the imperial guards are far away, they can talk openly.
"What do you mean by Dong Zhuo? He actually gave Zhou Yi the right to establish a government and build an army. Aren't you afraid that another small prince will be born?"
"Is this the point? The point is whether Zhou Yi is really as powerful as Dong Zhuo said!"
"How do you say this?"
"Isn't this obvious? If Zhou Yi is really as powerful as Dong Zhuo said, then giving Zhou Yi the right to establish a government and build an army is blatantly supporting Zhou Yi's independence! What does this mean?
Either Zhou Yi has won Dong Zhuo's trust, and Dong Zhuo can rest assured that Zhou Yi will go out to help him conquer the country. Or there is a conspiracy that we don't know about.
That fellow Li Ru is not an easy person to get along with!"
"But the question is, is Zhou Yi really that powerful? Do you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it. Even the old general Huangfu doesn't believe it. Why would I believe it? So what exactly is Dong Zhuo playing? I still can't figure it out."
"Why don't we go find Old General Huangfu and the others and see what they have to say?"
…
The officials discussed it endlessly.
At present, many people really came to Huangfu Song and others, asking for their help.
Huangfusong and the others were helpless about this.
Can they say that they were not optimistic about Zhou Yi at the beginning, but Zhou Yi beat them in the face not long after?
They can't tell.
They want face!
Therefore, after they looked at each other, Wang Yun, as the representative, said, "What we should say has actually been said in the court. Again, Zhou Yi quickly captured the Fengcheng guarded by Han Sui. It is outrageous and outrageous.
It’s unbelievable.”
"Then what? Is there Dong Zhuo's conspiracy in this? What is the purpose of establishing a government and an army for Zhou Yi?"
"There are too few information channels. Maybe we have to wait for some time before we can say anything."
…
After a bit of 'talking'.
The ministers went back each other with "minds full of surprise and uncertainty".
Huangfu Song, Wang Yun, Cai Yong, and Huang Wan returned to the Yang Mansion to discuss it, but they all frowned and were puzzled.
Only Yang Xiu said at the end, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if Zhou Yi really captured Fengcheng in just a few hours?"
"How is this possible?"
Huang Wan almost instinctively denied it, and shook her head and said, "There is absolutely no way anyone can do it. Even Lu Bu, leading all his Bingzhou wolf cavalry, will never be able to do it. Even the best people in the world like Lu Bu can't do it.
What do you think a newcomer like Zhou Yi can do? Who believes it?"
"Then before, you also said that Zhou Yi's departure would definitely be a disaster, and he might die in the first battle. What's the result?"
Yang Xiu's words were as if he had sprinkled a pinch of salt on the wounds of Huangfu Song and his fellow veterans, causing them to burn and make their faces hurt.
They looked at each other speechless.
It was Yang Biao who said, "Even if Zhou Yi is a peerless genius like Huo Qubing, who has a particularly strong adaptability to the blood and fire on the battlefield, defeating Ma Teng is already extremely bizarre. And based on the analysis from relevant channels.
Ma Teng obviously fell into the trap of provoking the general. Underestimating the enemy, Huang Yuan accepted the challenge. Zhou Yi made a mental calculation but was not careful, so he was defeated!
And what about Han Sui?
Xiliang Yiba. An old fox who rises from adversity and killing.
Knowing that Zhou Yi is very powerful, he must be extremely cautious. In this case, it is still a siege war, and it is an siege war in the Windy City with various general trends.
Is it possible that Han Sui will be defeated within a few hours?
No one would believe me if I told you..."
Yang Biao talked eloquently and kept giving examples and analysis.
The final rational analysis result left Yang Xiu speechless.
But somehow, Yang Xiu still had a very strange feeling: "Zhou Yi gave me a very unusual feeling. Maybe this is true, but it's not necessarily true."
"Won't we know if it's true or not in a few days?"
Although Huangfu Song and others could not leave the city, they had no military power.
But if you really want to know something, you still have the ability to do it.
…
Just when Huangfusong and the others mobilized their secret power to go to Xiliang to investigate the facts, a war song broke out in the land of Xiliang!
Zhou Yi, Yan Xing, Ma Teng and others had already met the Qiang people at the foot of the vast mountains.
A big battle!
On the verge of breaking out!
"Surrender and avoid death!"
Niu Er came out of the queue and shouted loudly.
His subordinates also raised their guns and shouted, and for a moment, the sound crackled the sky and shook the surrounding areas.
Phew!
Niu Er responded with a cluster of sharp arrows.
"kill!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yi frowned slightly and waved his hand.
Ma Chao was full of energy, immediately shouted "kill", and led the Ma Jiajun to rush towards the Qiang people first.
Ma Teng and Ma Chao are famous among the Qiang people.
But the world of the Xianwu Three Kingdoms is different from the Three Kingdoms in history and romance. The geography, people, mountains and rivers, etc. are all different.
Even if history miraculously aligns.
But this is based on the general trend, and many details and other aspects are different.
Including the Qiang people in this area.
Because their force value is also very strong, they are not very afraid of Ma Teng and the others.
As Ma Chao charges.
They actually started to counterattack!
"White Sparrow Army Formation!"
"start!"
"Charge! Scatter! Surround! Gather!"
The Qiang general was named Langque.
He led an army of 800,000 people!
Facing Zhou Yi, Ma Chao, and Ma Teng's millions of troops, they actually had the courage to arm-wrestle and launched a miraculous counter-encirclement and suppression campaign.
boom!
Rumble!
The Qiang people have different physical states. As the military formation opens, countless white sparrows fly down in the air and crash into the bodies of the Qiang people with a rumbling sound. The Qiang people instantly seem to transform into mountains and grasslands.
The flying bird!
Each one is extremely fast and agile.
Facing the charging Ma's army, they were like horses, moving freely and horizontally. They were almost invisible and difficult to capture.
Just a few charges and fights.
Ma Chao's large army was surrounded and killed no less than several thousand people.
Zhou Yi took a deep look at the 'Soldier Soul White Bird' and 'Soldier Soul Pegasus' who were fighting in mid-air.
I found that although the white sparrow is small, its speed is weird and its shape is unpredictable. The Pegasus cannot step on it or hit it, so it is all in vain.
On the contrary, because the Pegasus is too big, it can't turn and move as neatly as the white bird, and it has been pecked by the white bird until white bones appear on its body.
"Drink!"
Langque was in great spirits and kept shouting.
His subordinates also drank and responded.
Suddenly, the Qiang people became more powerful and braver, and the 100,000 vanguard troops led by Ma Chao were already in defeat.
"go."
Zhou Yi pointed to the left side, then to the right side.
Zhang Liao immediately led the elite fish and dragons out of the formation, and followed Li Feng and Li Kan's elite 100,000-blade matrix to charge to the left.
Ma Teng and Pang De led the 200,000 Ma army to the right.
Ma Zhong and Liang Xing's archers behind them bent their bows and set arrows, and launched a reflex attack towards the Qiang army!
Zhou Yi led the Wuzui cavalry, waved his hand, and decisively charged towards the large Qiang army.
This battle.
win.
Xiliangding!
No more troubles.
defeat.
Will be utterly defeated.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. We can only move forward, not backward.
Perhaps the leader of the Qiang people, Langque, also understood this and was prepared to confront Zhou Yi, the new leader.
But he will never understand that the Zhou Yi he faces is an opponent who is far better than Han Sui and Ma Teng!
Chapter completed!
