The vendor obviously didn't have completely accurate information.
But Yi Xiaotian basically agreed with his guess.
It was unlikely that Liu Bei would reach Yihan so quickly. The only problem was that when he heard the vendor mention Wu Yi's name, his heart suddenly trembled.
Wu Yi... was actually transferred to Badong by Liu Zhang?
This is not a good sign...
When he passed by Yong'an before, he was inquiring about who the guard of the city of Yong'an was.
But the problem is that no one living in the city at that time could tell accurately.
Later, he learned that the guards of Yong'an here changed very frequently...Liu Zhang seemed to know the strategic significance of this place to the entire Yizhou, so saying that he was nepotistic was actually a bit biased to a certain extent.
He really didn't dare to put those generals who couldn't figure out the details here to guard the pass. After thinking about it, he decided to let his trustworthy subordinates serve as the defenders of the city.
But why do Yongan's guards change so frequently?
In fact, Yi Xiaotian knows the reason without having to guess.
——One of our own, these three words are easy to say, but how many people can distinguish right from wrong and really find out who is one of their own and who is an outsider?
Liu Zhang was secretly suspicious, a common problem he had had since childhood. When Liu Yan died, Liu Yan's close minister Zhao Wei found that Liu Zhang was very obedient, so he called on those around him to promote Liu Zhang to the top. However, as time went by, Zhao Wei
He also began to covet the position of Yizhou Mu, and eventually Liu Zhang went to war with Zhao Wei, his closest minister at the time. Of course, the final result can be imagined. Liu Zhang won and Zhao Wei killed him. After Zhao Wei's rebellion was put down, Liu Zhang
His suspicious temper was completely uncontrollable.
Even Zhao Wei, who could be said to be a benefactor who supported him to rise to power, can bite him back. How can those who have nothing to do with him be loyal to him wholeheartedly?
Zhang Song is a good example.
That is to say, Liu Zhang was really too busy during this period. Zhang Ren and Cheng Ji were all around, and Yan Yan was worried because he was old and worried. People like Liu Wei, Ling Bao, Deng Xian, Yang Huai, Gao Pei and others were not there at all.
Otherwise, how could he let Wu Yi guard such an important pass in Yong'an?
As for Wu Yi's identity, he actually has the same relationship as Pang Xizhi to Liu Zhang. They are both Liu Zhang's relatives.
However, Pang Xi was married to Liu Zhang's son Liu Xun, and both parties were in-laws.
As for Wu Yi, he married his sister to Liu Zhang's elder brother Liu Hao, making him a brother-in-law who was a generation distant.
But the similarity between Wu Yi and Pang Xi goes beyond just their relationship.
Pang Xi was almost independent with his troops, and Liu Zhang almost occupied Jiayin Pass in the north. Later, he happened to encounter Liu Zhang's purge, and was squeezed out by Cheng Ji and Zhang Ren, so he returned to Langzhong, Brazil in despair.
And what about Wu Yi?
Wu Yi had no thoughts of rebellion and self-reliance in his heart. After all, compared to Liu Zhang, Wu Yi was relatively honest.
But he is one of those people who has a loud voice but an extremely unstable mind.
Of course he knew that there was no future in following Liu Zhang, but without an opportunity, he would definitely not be the one who stood out.
After all, Wu Yi still values his reputation very much. He is Liu Zhang's brother-in-law. He is not as shameless as Pang Xi. As long as this relationship is still there, he will not have an attack——
However…
The problem is that after the Battle of Chibi, Liu Zhang's brother Liu Hao died of illness. Later, Liu Zhang was very aggressive and showed no respect for his sister-in-law.
Gradually, the two families began to drift apart over the course of three or four years.
Up to now, Wu Yi had not communicated with Liu Zhang for a long time.
It is not his turn to be promoted, but it is always his turn to be transferred.
Over and over again, after so many years, Wu Yi inevitably felt dissatisfied.
Especially this time...
——
"Okay, let's go."
Yi Xiaotian thought for a long time, while the vendor looked on eagerly and did not dare to leave quietly.
After a while, Yi Xiaocai waved his hand at him and asked him to leave.
He took the broken silver and quickly thanked him, picked up his pole and ran towards the door.
"Sir, shall we go or stay?"
Zhao Yun was silent for a long time and finally asked.
"This guy Wu Yi... I'm afraid he's going to betray me."
"Wha...what?"
Zhao Yun was startled and his voice was slightly out of control, causing many diners in the store to cast their gazes in this direction.
He quickly lowered his voice and asked again:
"Sir...how do you know?"
Yi Xiaotian rubbed his chin, shook his head and said:
"There is no conclusive evidence, but do you still remember what the Yongan city defense looked like when we passed by Yong'an?"
As they spoke, everyone began to recall what they saw when they first landed.
Cao Ang said thoughtfully on the side:
"I remember, Sir, you said that the defense of this city is not good. Although there are dangerous passes, there are no heavy troops stationed at the pass. I think the people who came to collect the passes should not pay much attention to the place it is guarding, right?"
"That was indeed what happened at the time."
Yi Xiaotian nodded, picked up the chopsticks, dipped some wine in them, and started drawing on the table.
"You see, Yong'an, Baidi Mountain, and Baidi City rely on each other and look after each other. There are 30 to 50 thousand people coming to this gorge. Just putting a little pressure on this city defense zone is enough to delay it for ten days.
It’s been eight days.”
"I heard from the hawker earlier that the people of Badong and even Brazil had already expected that Liu Bei would come to attack them sooner or later - something that everyone knows, but Wu Yi, who is guarding the city, doesn't know about it?"
"But even in the face of an enemy who was very likely to invade, and sitting at such an important pass, Wu Yi was too lazy to take precautions. If you say this was not intentional, I don't believe it."
Zhao Yun opened his mouth wide. After listening to Yi Xiaotian's analysis, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"Then Yizhou is going to be over?"
Although Cao Ang's memory was not good, his knowledge of the art of war for many years was still there. When he recalled the topography of Yizhou, although he did not have an accurate concept, once the Baidi City was lost, wouldn't the entire Shu region be at the mercy of Liu Bei?
?
"That's it, so now we have two choices before us. One is to head to Chengdu as soon as possible. If we can arrive in Chengdu early, relying on the relationship Zhaoji and the others have established with Liu Zhang at this time, we can
With the two natural barriers of Luo River and Fulu River, Yizhou has no chance of resisting Liu Bei's attack - after all, no matter how smooth the road in Yizhou is, there are twists and turns. Even if Liu Bei and the others march in a hurry, they can't keep up with our speed.
"
"What about the other option?"
“The other option is… hmm?
Who is speaking?"
Yi Xiaotian was talking enthusiastically to a few people, but suddenly, a strange voice intervened.
Yi Xiaotian didn't feel it at first, but when he looked at the people around him, he realized...
At some point, a group of people in casual clothes gathered around them——
If you take a closer look, you will see that these are not ordinary diners. With the muscles on their arms, these people's skills are definitely not simple.
Saying...
Zhao Yun and Cao Ang had already touched the weapons beside them.
The situation on the field was tense for a moment.
