Everyone in the Haisha Gang was shocked by You Gui's appearance. They originally thought he had been killed.
Later, Han Gaitian convened everyone to discuss the matter, and You Gui relayed what Li Yizhi meant.
Regarding Li Yizhi's recruitment, Han Gaitian and others agreed unanimously without much thought.
There was no way, since Yu Wenhuaji's death, their private salt business had suffered a heavy blow, and they were at a loss as to the future.
Now that Li Yizhi personally issued a solicitation, they naturally wanted to catch him quickly.
Han Gaitian said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this is a good opportunity for us to make great achievements. We must go all out. As long as we help Li Jing defeat Shen Faxing, I believe we will have a lot of credit by then. Look at Yin today. Kaishan, he was just the leader of the Zhuhua Gang at the beginning, but now he has become the commander of the Imperial Guards, which is the position that Yu Wenhuaji held before."
"Yes, Gang Leader."
…………
Ten days later, Song Zhi and Song Shidao finally arrived in Yangzhou.
By this time, the war in the south had broken out in full force.
Shen Faxing was very ambitious and wanted to fight all the way to Yangzhou, but unfortunately he received a wake-up call just after he sent out troops.
First he was defeated by Li Jing in the field battle, and then he was harassed by the Haisha Gang in the rear. Hundreds of thousands of stones of food were burned, forcing him to retreat quickly. Finally, he was ambushed by Li Jing and was defeated.
Shen Faxing was defeated here, and a major defensive loophole appeared on Li Zitong's side. Li Jing seized the opportunity and sent a general to attack.
In the end, Li Zitong was defeated and fled, losing tens of thousands of horses.
On the battlefield to the east, Li Jing was sweeping away Shen Faxing and Li Zitong. The outcome was already determined, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
Compared with the battlefield in the east, the battle in the west was much more intense. However, because Jiangdu only focused on defense, Lin Shihong and Xiao Xian made no progress.
Yangzhou, Jiangdu Palace.
Because Li Yizhi was practicing in seclusion, Tian Wen did not dare to disturb him, so he naturally came to meet Song Zhi and Song Shidao.
Tian Wen was naturally impressed by Song Zhi's intention, and he said happily: "As for the marriage, I completely agree. However, we have to report this matter to the Duke, and he will give the nod. But you I also know that in order to prepare for the decisive battle with Yu Wenshang, Guo Zheng is currently practicing in seclusion, and it is really not appropriate to disturb him now."
Song Zhi nodded at him and said with a smile: "It's natural. We'll wait until the Duke of Chu comes out of seclusion. However, in order to show the sincerity of our Song family, I think we can send troops to Shaoguan and cooperate with you to pacify Jiangnan, Tian What do you think, sir?"
Tian Wen said happily: "This is the best thing to do. I will summon General Li Jing later and ask him to establish contact with your Song family and send troops together."
If the Song family cooperates, they may be able to pacify Jiangnan in less than three months.
As for Li Yizhi's opinion, neither Tian Wen nor Song Zhi thought he would reject it.
Time passed slowly in the beacon fire.
During this period of time, major events in the world are happening, which makes people dizzying.
The most eye-catching thing is naturally that the Song clan sent troops, which caused Chu and Liang to retreat one after another to prevent their nests from being invaded.
Regarding the Song Clan's dispatch of troops, some people believed that the Song Clan decided to strive for world hegemony, so many people were "looking forward to the possible subsequent battle between Song and Li".
However, some people believe that the relationship between Li Yizhi and the Song clan has always been very good. This time the Song clan sends troops, it is actually an alliance between the two parties.
In short, no matter what the reason is, there is no pure land in the world except Bashu.
June 15th is coming soon.
Because this day is the day of the decisive battle between Li Yizhi and Yu Wenshang.
Now, a large number of warriors have poured into Yangzhou City, all coming to watch the battle.
After all, Fang Fang is a master who has been famous for decades. He was once as famous as Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, and his martial arts skills are unfathomable.
On the other side is a newly rising young master, and he is rising like a comet, with a speed that is jaw-dropping and also unfathomable.
The world has been peaceful for more than ten years. It has been a long time since there has been a decisive battle between such a strong master. Naturally, they cannot miss it.
The Duke's Mansion, the backyard.
Li Yizhi sat cross-legged on the futon, immersed in his Dantian.
I only 'saw' that in the Dantian, the golden Xuanwu was swallowing blood, gradually condensing into golden blood energy, and integrating into his body.
Compared with more than a month ago, this golden Xuanwu has expanded a lot, indicating that Li Yizhi's strength has greatly increased again during this retreat.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Li Jing swept away the rebels outside and was invincible. The huge momentum created in this way was all added to him, allowing Li Yizhi to practice like a fish in water and make rapid progress.
"Sixty percent blood essence!"
"Although I am still in the middle stage of Xiantian, with my combat power, it should be comparable to 90% of ordinary true energy."
"Even if Yuwen Shang has deep cultivation and pure essence, I still have a chance to win."
"After all, I still have a trump card that I have never used."
The combat power of a warrior is actually a comprehensive performance, affected by various factors.
The most fundamental thing is naturally the amount of true energy and the purity of true energy.
Why is it that in the same realm and in the same sect, the older generation is stronger than the younger generation?
It is because they have practiced for enough time that their true energy has been refined to an extremely pure level, allowing them to exert stronger combat power.
This is the case for Yuwen Shang, although his level may not have improved much compared to ten or twenty years ago.
But the actual combat power has definitely been greatly improved.
On June 14, Li Yizhi left the customs one day early.
After Shao Lingzhou received the news, he rushed over as soon as possible. His face was solemn and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, I'm afraid something will happen in tomorrow's battle. We must take precautions as soon as possible."
Li Yizhi asked in confusion: "Oh, what happened?"
"Not long after you retreated, General Li Jing, with the cooperation of the Haisha Gang, defeated Shen Faxing, and then took the opportunity to defeat Li Zitong. Now these two people have lost their homes and led the remaining soldiers to flee to Poyang. And the Chu State and
The Liang Kingdom, because the Song family sent troops to Shaoguan and the two generals Li Jing and Luo Tong attacked, they lost hundreds of miles and it was difficult to take care of both ends. Their defeat was only a matter of time."
Shao Lingzhou paused and continued: "Therefore, in order to block our advance, the four of them have secretly sent a large number of masters into Yangzhou, preparing to take the opportunity to take action after your decisive battle with Yu Wenshang."
Li Yizhi nodded and said calmly: "The four of them don't have any experts, so there's nothing to worry about. But you have to be careful about what you said."
In fact, these four companies are not without experts, and they have huge backgrounds.
Lin Shihong is a member of the Yinkui sect, and Xiao Xian's Liang Guo is also entangled with the Yinkui sect. Ren Shaoming, the cavalry hui who assists Lin Shihong, is the son of Tie Le Fei Ying Qu Ao, and his subordinates are the evil monks Fa Nan and Yanni.
Chang Zhen is a member of the Yin Kui sect.
In other words, Jiangnan is basically the sphere of influence of the Yinkui sect.
Li Yizhi knew that if he wanted to pacify Jiangnan, he would definitely alarm the Yinkui faction.
This time when these four families join forces, there will definitely be other Yin Kui sect masters lurking among them.
However, among the entire Yin Kui sect, the only one he has concerns about is Zhu Yuyan, and even if there are others, they are not enough to threaten him.
Suddenly, Li Yizhi chuckled and said: "I'm afraid they are not the only ones who want to take the opportunity to kill me, right?"
