It's not that he looks down on Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang has a lot of useful people around him... Although it's not as good as Liu Bei's strong generals around him, as long as he can use them properly and rely on Yizhou's natural dangers, it's not impossible to defend Chengdu.
But the problem now is that there are frequent insiders around Liu Zhang - he had known that the situation in Yizhou in recent years was not optimistic. If he still considered Liu Zhang's victory or defeat factors in a macro-historical way, he would easily be disrupted by sudden accidents.
arrange.
Apart from anything else, Wu Yi of Yong'an took the lead in the rebellion, and many Yizhou generals will surely follow Wu Yi's example.
It's not a question of objective factors. Sometimes just a breath of momentum - one person's surrender will lead a large number of people to surrender.
Before Yi Xiaotian and Liu Bei could fight to the front, Liu Zhang was already in disarray. By that time, it might be too late if he wanted to save people or go to Cai Zhaoji and the others.
But the current problem cannot be ignored. Yi Xiaotian is now unable to protect himself. The only way out is to follow Qin Mi's suggestion and go to Nanguang to lie dormant until the situation becomes clearer before making other plans.
Yi Xiaotian looked around and found that Zhao Yun, Cao Ang and others had already turned their attention to him. Needless to say, there was no need to say more.
After thinking for a while, he sighed, shook his head and said:
"This is the only way...I can't make fun of your lives, so let's do this. Let's go to Nanguang first to temporarily replenish our supplies. At the same time, we will pay close attention to Liu Bei's marching route. Once the situation changes, we must make a decision as soon as possible."
"Sir, we listen to you."
Zhao Yun nodded, and Cao Ang on the other side also agreed. As a girl, Fan Ling was much more thoughtful than these two grown men. She could clearly see Yi Xiaotian's worry, and walked up to comfort her cautiously:
"Sir, I don't know what to say. I know you are worried about the safety of those girls. However, you must not mess up your position at the moment. Although I have never met those sisters, I will listen to your advice.
I know from the description that you must have established a very precious trust between you. You are worried about them, and they also rely on you - and, unlike the concubine, they are mostly women who can stand alone and will not be easily
Put yourself in danger, so..."
"What Miss Fan is saying is that I obviously claim to be the master of all things, but now it's me who has messed up everything. With your words, I feel much better."
Fan Ling lowered her head shyly, not daring to accept such praise from Yi Xiaotian.
Yi Xiaotian looked at his appearance and shrugged, smiling and jokingly said:
"I feel relieved that Zilong can have a good wife like you."
"Ah... first... sir, what are you talking about... we... we haven't..."
Unexpectedly, Fan Ling hadn't reacted much yet, but Zhao Yun beside him was blushing with rare embarrassment.
She hesitated and didn't know what she was explaining. Fan Ling was said to be a good wife. Of course she was very happy inside. She turned her head and looked at Zhao Yun quietly, and couldn't help but snicker.
After this small episode, the solemn atmosphere in the venue was swept away.
And because the plan has been set, everyone is no longer as anxious as headless flies.
That evening, Zhao Yun and Cao Ang caught another sika deer while Yi Xiaotian and others were packing their bags...
After a brief processing, we took him on the road with him.
——
The rest of the journey was much smoother.
Similarly, as we entered the southern part of Yizhou, the weather became further humid and hot.
The most murderous weather was the hot and humid weather - the few ponies traveling with the group were simply unable to carry people. They were already struggling just to drag luggage, and would fall to the ground to rest after only three or five steps of carrying people.
Under such circumstances, everyone could only walk on foot.
Fortunately, we were on the main road, which proved that Qin Mi's map was correct. He went south along Yangguanshui. Within two days, Nanguang City finally appeared within everyone's sight.
"finally reached!"
Even Yi Xiaotian shouted excitedly.
During the last twenty miles, no one felt tired at all, and they rushed towards Nanguang City happily.
However, no one expected that what greeted them next was not delicious food or soft beds but...
——
When he arrived at the last few miles before Nanguang City, Yi Xiaotian finally saw clearly the situation in Nanguang City at this time.
Instinctively, I felt a sense of uneasiness, so I asked everyone to stop for the time being——
Qin Mi was a little confused, pointing to Nanguang City in the distance and asked:
"Master Yi, why don't you leave?
The city gate is right in front of you."
"No...Mr. Qin, something is wrong..."
Yi Xiaotian frowned, looked at the deserted Nanguang City Wall, leaned down and groped on the ground again.
Zhao Yun's expression was equally solemn. Qin Mi was really puzzled, so he looked at Zhao Yun and asked:
"General Zhao, what did you find?"
"Mr. Qin, lower your voice... something is wrong in this city."
"What...what..."
At the same time, Yi Xiaotian grabbed the soil on the ground, squeezed it in his hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and immediately told an astonishing fact:
"Everyone, I'm afraid we can't enter this city..."
"Zilong, watch your luggage, let's turn around and leave!"
Yi Xiaotian's reaction was quick enough, but Qin Mi was still confused. He was about to ask, but someone had already answered for Yi Xiaotian:
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
On top of the city wall, a strange shout suddenly erupted.
Listening to the sound of the voice, one could barely tell that it was a human voice...but other than that, everyone had no idea what those people were shouting.
In fact, there is no need to understand——
With a roar, the city gate bridge was quickly lowered, and the gate of Nanguang City opened, and a large number of dark-skinned and muscular men suddenly poured out.
Wearing rattan armor, pointing spears and stone axes, they ran almost as fast as riding horses.
Before Yi Xiaotian could lead everyone to escape, these dark-skinned men had already surrounded them.
They kept shouting words that no one could understand, and stared at Yi Xiaotian fiercely. It seemed that as long as Yi Xiaotian and others dared to do any dangerous behavior, they would swarm Yi Xiaotian and his party.
Tear into pieces.
Qin Mi was frightened, and Fan Ling also hid behind Zhao Yun in fear.
Zhao Yun and Cao Xing, one holding a knife and the other holding a gun, stood at both ends of the team, watching the group of guys who suddenly came out warily.
Then…
"This...is this a barbarian?"
Qin Mi finally revealed this shocking fact with a tearful voice.
Yes, who else could they be if they weren't barbarians surrounding them at this moment?
Recalling their excitement when they arrived in Nanguang, it was like they were having a nightmare when they were surrounded.
But this nightmare has come true...
Yi Xiaotian frowned and his body became a little stiff——
He kept scanning the group of people around him with his eyes, thinking about it again and again, and suddenly shouted loudly:
"Is there anyone who can speak Chinese who can come out to meet us?
We have something to say!”
"..."
The long silence seemed to be a mockery of Yi Xiaotian's behavior.
But this time, Yi Xiaotian made the right bet:
"Who are you?
What should I do in Nanguang City?
Answer truthfully, otherwise I will skin you!"
A man with a rather majestic voice squeezed out from the crowd. What stunned Yi Xiaotian and others was that this man was the only one in the crowd who had a mount.
But the mount is not a horse, nor an ox, nor a donkey or a mule, but...
