Lei Yuan came to Yiling here, of course he did his homework in advance.

Most of the prisoners obtained from fighting with the Wu army were handed over their weapons and sent to the public security city for unified resettlement as bargaining chips for subsequent negotiations. However, some of them fell into the hands of the Lei family. Lei Yuan learned about the current situation of Yiling from them; he also understood why Gan Ning was always an alien among the generals of the Eastern Wu.

Since Liu Yan entered Shu in the fifth year of Zhongping, Yizhou has been in a state of turmoil. When Liu Yan himself died of illness due to internal and external troubles, his son Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, the situation he faced was even more difficult.

In just a few years, in Ba County, east of Yizhou, there were first powerful forces Gan Ning, Chen Mi and Lou Fa, who successively departed from Jingzhou, and failed to rebel, and fled to Jingzhou. Later, Zhao Wei, the general of the Eastern Army who fought against Gan Ning and others, failed to rebel, failed and was attacked and killed by his generals Pang Le and Li Yi. Pang Le and Li Yi were suspicious of Liu Zhang because of this move, so he gathered troops to the Zigui area and did not return to Chengdu.

Two groups of Yizhou people were entrenched in the deep and dangerous places of the Xiajiang River, which was contrary to the Jingyi states. Gan Ning, the best among them, did not want to fall for a long time, so he led 800 children to Liu Biao. After many twists and turns, he followed the Jiangdong army back to Yiling.

When Gan Ning returned to Yiling, he was hitting Liu Zhang's dispatch of his troops to lead his troops deep into the Xiajiang River, trying to actually control the major traffic route from Zigui to Yiling. Xisu was naturally no match for Gan Ning, and surrendered very simply. As a result, from Yiling to Zigui, the area was controlled by this Yizhou litter group led by Gan Ning. Its influence could reach the fish belly, Qunin, and to the east approach Zhijiang and Jingyang.

With its influence in this area, Gan Ning was named Zhou Lang's general, but he was actually a collaborator with his own strength. The common goal of the two was to attack Shu. Zhou Yu's plan to attack Shu was the only possibility for Gan Ning to return to his hometown; and Gan Ning and his companions were indispensable support in Zhou Yu's plan to attack Shu.

That's why Gan Ning mobilized tens of thousands of troops across the river to attack Lei Yuan. He had such appeal and had enough reason to support Zhou Lang.

However, Gan Ning's crossing the river failed. Although his last attempt was not launched, it was a failure. Xi Su and thousands of soldiers died in battle. Gan Ning himself, General Lou Fa, Pang Le, and Li Yisan, and the remaining troops, are now "visiting" in the military camp under the Gong'an City.

Lei Yuan led his troops to Yiling this time, not only to control this key place, but also to control the families of the Yizhou liu gathered here, so as to assist Xuande Gong and influence Gan Ning and his soldiers.

Lei Yuan asked clearly from the prisoners that the person who was responsible for staying in Yiling was Gan Ning's old partner Chen Mi. This lord was originally a county magistrate of Ba County and had repeatedly attacked Ba County. The barbarians in Jianwei County rebelled and were quite famous. In recent years, because they were old, they gradually stopped participating in military and political affairs. Therefore, when Gan Ning transferred troops to cross the river, he led the old and weak to stay. The veteran in front of him was obviously Chen Mi.

Although this person is a defeated general, he is still useful and cannot be humiliated at will.

So Lei Yuan stood up and took two steps, bowed his hand slightly and signaled, "Is it that General Shen? Come to visit the door rashly, and I hope the old general will not blame him."

It seems that there is no fighting and blood just now, but the young man who is hunting here and visits relatives and friends.

The veteran was stunned and after a while, he replied, "It's Chen Mi."

He had never expected Yiling City to be attacked so rapidly, even if he became a prisoner at this moment, he still felt a little dazed.

At this time, he looked at the soldiers with distinctive armor in the hall, and then looked at Lei Yuan, thinking that Lei Yuan was too young, not like the leader of the enemy. But the young man stood calmly among the generals, with strong confidence in his words. Chen Mi couldn't figure out where he came from for a while.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "I wonder who you are under Duke Xuande? I'm sorry, I don't know the young handsome man from Jingzhou."

Lei Yuan replied, "In the lower Lei Yuan, General Fenwei under Duke Xuande."

He reached out to invite "General Chen, and this gentleman, let's sit down and talk."

"Okay, okay." Chen Mi replied subconsciously.

The two followed Lei Yuan into the main hall, and both sides sat down. Chen Mi bowed and said, "It turns out that you are the Lujiang Lei Xuzhi! I have heard of his reputation for a long time, and I am lucky to meet you! General Lei's army is so powerful that he must have been ordered by Duke Xuande. Then, if you have the order, we will follow it."

Since Lei Yuan did not mention the matter of war just now, Chen Mi would not mention it. At this age, he had seen many life and death separations and reunions, and had long lost his interest in being loyal to the family. He was in this troubled world, but he was just struggling to survive. After fighting each other, his family was indeed no match for him. Taking advantage of the other party's polite attitude, he should bow his head and surrender quickly. There is no need to worry about face issues.

"It's so good." Lei Yuan nodded and said, "First ask the old general Shen to order the whole city to stop resisting. After our army arrives, we will also go west to Zigui. At that time, please ask the old general Shen to be the village guide... Don't worry, Duke Xuande will have a good reward."

Chen Mi nodded and took out the military talisman from the waist bag.

Lei Yuan signaled with his eyes, and Li Qi went up to pick him up.

"General Lei's soldiers are brave and fierce. How can I, the old and weak in Yiling City, be the opponent? If you resist, just hold this military talisman and call me to give up your weapons." Chen Mi smiled mockingly, and watched Li Qi leave with the military talisman, and said, "But, General Lei doesn't need to ask me about the matter on Zigui."

"oh?"

This time, it was really relaxed and happy to attack Yiling City. The enemy's leader was not very energetic and cooperated very well. This situation made Lei Yuan simply suspect that it didn't seem real. At this moment, Chen Mi's words changed, and it seemed that there would be some twists and turns, which made Lei Yuan cheer up.

He leaned forward a little and asked, "Who should I ask if I don't ask General Shen?"

"Of course I'm asking me." The scribe who sat beside Shen Mi suddenly laughed out loud, "Your army and horse have just fought fiercely with my troops, so that's fine. Now I'm still unscrupulous in seizing my lord's territory... Shouldn't I ask me, the magistrate of Zigui?"

"Bold! Seeking death!" The entourages beside Lei Yuan shouted repeatedly.

Lei Yuan raised his hand and shouted immediately.

No wonder the enemy he met after he attacked the government office just now was very brave, which was very different from the weak soldiers guarding the city. It turned out that it was not Chen Mi's subordinate, but the person's division in front of him. If he could compile such a division, he would be an ordinary person. He also claimed to be the magistrate of Zigui County. Lei Yuan thought about it and never heard of when there was a county magistrate in this semi-independent area in the Gorges River.

Lei Yuan looked at the scholar again.

This person's words are very contemptuous, but there is no intention of provocation in his expression. He seems to be just speaking in his usual tone and is born so arrogant. It is obvious that the members of the group are almost killed, but they are obviously surrounded by swords and guns, and they insist on speaking like this, which is interesting.

Lei Yuan asked jokingly, "Since that's the case, can this Zigui County Magistrate who came from somewhere be able to report his name to the common name?"
