after being kidnapped by the general

"Chu Hechao," Yuan Li said faintly, "You are so coquettish..."

Chu Hechao suspected that he had heard it wrong, "What did you say?"

Yuan Li looked at him silently, his eyes seemed to see through all the filthy words Chu Hechao was thinking.

Chu Hechao was seen blushing, and changed his words: "Your grain supply yard is very powerful. It has only been released for half a year, and it can be effective so quickly."

Yuanli glanced at him, "Yes, I have sent someone to try to find Zhou Gongdan. Zhou Gongdan is alone in Jizhou, and I am always afraid that something will happen to him. With people from the Grain Institute by his side, he has at least a helper."

In Jizhou, people from the Grain Institute are trying to get in touch with Zhou Gongdan.

Half a month later, they sent back a secret letter.

The letter is in Zhou Gongdan's handwriting.The letter stated that he had met with the people from the Grain Institute and everything was fine, which reassured Yuanli.

Zhou Gongdan did not expect that Yuanli would send someone to assist him, so he was pleasantly surprised.

All the people in the Grain Institute are elites. Even if they can't help Zhou Gongdan, at least they can protect Zhou Gongdan from retreating.

Since Zhou Gongdan came into contact with the people in the Grain Institute, he had to say that he felt much more relieved, finally able to sleep with peace of mind, and had more energy to deal with the Jizhou incident.In the letter, he succinctly explained what happened in Jizhou recently in Yuanli.

Luo Yue and the others sent by Li Li were not doing their business in Jizhou, and they played around so that Wu Shanshi and the others put down their guard.Unexpectedly, after a period of time, Luo Yue used some method to make Wu Shanshi's mother and wife's concubine accept a lot of gold, silver and jewelry as a gift from Li Li.

And the rumor of "Wu Shanshi, the governor of Jizhou, accepting Li Lihou's gift" did not know where it came from, and it quickly spread in Jizhou.

Wei Ji was furious and ordered to kill several people who spread the news, but the rumors still couldn't be stopped.Wu Shanshi was also very angry about this. He killed several of his concubines, but he couldn't do anything about his wife and mother.

The Northern Zhou ruled the world with filial piety, how could Wu Shanshi kill his mother?

His legitimate son cried and begged to let his wife live, how could he not give his son face?

Wu Shanshi was holding back his stomach, and was furious at being teased. He wished to catch Luo Yue and chop him up, but was stopped by the counselors.

Wei Ji didn't want Wu Shanshi to have anything to do with Li Li.He asked Wu Shanshi to take out all the money that Li Li gave to his mother and wife and return it to Luo Yue, and asked Luo Yue to go back to Luoyang with these things.

But Wu Shanshi felt that Luo Yue framed him in such a way that he had already been reprimanded. Wouldn't it be more aggrieved to return the money?It's better to use this money as military pay, levy more soldiers, buy more military rations, and use this to kill Li Li.

Wei Ji was so angry that he fell ill.

When he fell ill, Wang Yun thought about it, and felt that since the matter was a foregone conclusion, it would be better to follow the plan.So he offered a plan with Wu Shanshi, let Wu Shanshi pretend to conspire with Li Li, and then took advantage of this opportunity to kill Li Li first.

Things have come to this point, this can be regarded as a solution.Wu Shanshi pondered for a long time, and felt that killing Li Li was a [-]% sure thing, so he adopted this suggestion, and apparently agreed to the solicitation of Luo Yue and others, and prepared to lead troops to Luoyang to "join" Li Li.

This incident happened in just half a month, and Jizhou, which was once peaceful, has now been disturbed.And the culprit was Luo Yue, who had retired after all his achievements.

"Wu Shanshi pretended to conspire with Li Li..."

Yuan Li frowned, thinking carefully, "He is really bold."

This news will definitely cause an uproar, and the good reputation Wu Shanshi created earlier will be destroyed in one go.Unless he can really kill Li Li himself to reverse the situation, Wu Shanshi's charges will never be cleared.

This is equivalent to looking for food at the mouth of a tiger, and the sword is slanted, and the disadvantages obviously outweigh the advantages.But this is a good opportunity for Yuanli and the others...

Yuanli's eyes flashed.

Zhou Gongdan sent this news, it also means that he wants them to completely confirm Wu Shanshi's stigma, right?

However, it is not impossible for Wu Shanshi to kill Li Li.

Jizhou is closer to Luoyang than Youzhou, and Wu Shanshi's advisers are very cunning, and Li Li is also unprepared against Wu Shanshi. From this point of view, it is very likely that Li Li's head will be captured by Wu Shanshi.

Just as such worries arose in Yuanli, Zhou Gongdan wrote at the bottom of the secret letter: "Please rest assured, my lord. Li Li will definitely be on guard against Wu Shanshi, and he will not be easily captured by Wu Shanshi. Gongdan once spoke to Wu Shanshi, so that Wu Shanshi wrote that you are the governor of Bingzhou, and upon hearing this, Li Li would have mistakenly believed that Wu Shanshi had joined forces with you and the general. Under the current circumstances, Li Li would not believe Wu Shanshi's heart of surrender."

With this passage, the letter is over.Yuan Li was refreshed, and couldn't help but read it over and over again, his blood boiled, "Wonderful, Gongdan is really exhaustive."

Chu Hechao took the envelope curiously, looked at it, and nodded in praise, "He's a wonderful person."

Yuan Li sighed: "Such a wonderful person, we must guarantee that he will come back in full."

Chu Hechao's face flashed coldly, "Wu Shanshi was determined to kill Li Li, but he didn't come to ask me if I would agree. If I don't kill Li Li with my own hands, I won't get rid of my hatred."

"Li Li's life will naturally be taken by us," Yuan Li said affirmatively, pulling his lips, "Since Wu Shanshi intends to take the lead, we should speed up."

Chu Hechao pondered for a moment, and said, "The troops and salaries have been prepared."

Yuan Li looked at the weather forecast and made a final decision, "Then let's set off in five days."

Five days later.

Fifty thousand Youzhou soldiers were wearing leather armor, standing erectly in front of the gate of Ji County, all of them were serious and majestic.

The flag with the word "You" fluttered and was rustled by the wind.

Drums roared.

The cavalry is in front and the infantry is in the rear.Among the tens of thousands of soldiers, there are also a hundred three-bow bed crossbows promoted by three people.

In the war against Li Li, it will be the first appearance of the three-bow bed crossbow.They will play an important role, and may leave a strong mark in the historical records.

Yuan Li was also wearing a majestic Xuanjia, and his long hair was tied up meticulously.Ruyu's handsome face was full of a calm smile.

He leaned on the sword around his waist, and whispered to Liu Jixin, Guo Mao and others to take good care of Youzhou.

This time when the army went out, Yuanli left Liu Jixin and Guo Mao behind.Guo Mao had important tasks to carry out the strategy of farming, and Liu Jixin was in charge of leading the political affairs hall to process official documents, and he could not leave.

The two generals Yuan Congyun and Wang Er will also stay in Youzhou to defend Youzhou.Keeping them in Youzhou, Yuanli can feel at ease.

Regardless of Yang Zhongfa's age, he is always strong and strong, no worse than a general in his prime.This time against Li Li, Yang Zhongfa, as Chu Hechao's lieutenant general, must not be absent.

After writing down Yuanli's words one by one, Liu Jixin and Guo Mao couldn't stop worrying, and looked at Yuanli with worried eyes, "My lord, take care of everything."

Yuan Li smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will return safely."

Yuan Dan stood behind Yuan Li, patted his chest with a smile and said, "I will protect Le Jun's safety even to the death!"

He went out to fight with Yuanli for the first time, and he was so excited that he stayed up all night. Now that he was wearing Xuanjia, he suddenly felt that he had become mighty and extraordinary, and he looked like a famous general.

Yuan Li replied with a smile: "Just you? You should take good care of yourself."

Yuan Dan scratched his head in embarrassment.

Yuan Dan and Zheng Rong from Bingzhou will be taken by Yuan Li to see the world together.Zheng Rong and Guan Zhihuai will be waiting to join them in Guangchang.

Yuanli also took away Wu Kai and Lu Hui and Gong Bin, who had performed outstandingly and had been named young generals, went to Luoyang together as their generals.

Liu Jixin and Liu Jixin also felt a little relieved when they thought of the luck of the lord, as well as the well-equipped weapons and strong soldiers.Liu Jixin took a deep breath and bowed deeply, "We will guard Youzhou well, and hope that the Lord will return in victory."

Yuan Li nodded, took one last look at the gate of Ji County, turned around and walked towards Chu Hechao.

The two got on their horses, Chu Hechao raised his whip and shouted, "Let's go."

Waving the flag and leaning forward, the soldiers who saw the flag moving also followed suit.The dense crowd of people stepped on the ground and shook it, making everyone who saw this scene excited.

Watching the back of the army gradually disappearing, both Guo Mao and Liu Jixin deeply hoped that the lord would return safely.

It is because of Yuanli that they have come to this day. Once something happens to Yuanli, it will be a disaster for them.

"Huh," Guo Mao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with burning eyes, "My lord will definitely return with a big victory."

Liu Jixin smiled, stroked his beard, and said forcefully, "It's only natural!"

After leaving Ji County, the army joined Guan Zhihuai and others at Guangchang, who was leading the [-] Northern Frontier Army.

The [-] army marched vigorously towards Luoyang.

They didn't bring more people.

Because the soldiers and horses in Li Li's hands are no more than 15 at most.All states and counties in the Central Plains responded to Youzhou's call and led troops to attack Li Li.At that time, the combined strength of all heroes will be about 30. It is already a lot for them to bring [-] soldiers from Youzhou. It is necessary to leave a chance for soldiers from other states and counties to attack Li Ligong.

After the Youzhou soldiers set off, the states and counties in the Central Plains also got the news, and they led their troops to Luoyang one after another.

Li Li also knew the news that several armies were attacking Luoyang.

Among them, there are three armies that are in full swing.One was Chu Hechao, who wanted to avenge the murder of his relatives, and the other was the [-] army led by the emperor's two emperor uncles—Qin Meng, the governor of Yizhou, and Qin Pei, the governor of Yuzhou.

The third is the [-] army led by Chen Wang and Chen Liu.

What Li Li was most afraid of was the [-] soldiers in Youzhou.

Not only because of the ferocity of the Youzhou soldiers and the Beijiang Army, but more importantly, the leader of the soldiers was Chu Hechao.

That was Chu Hechao.

There were only two great generals in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, besides Chu Hechao, the general Yan Taboo that Li Li had wooed.But Chu Hechao was the youngest and most powerful general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It was not for nothing that he was known as the God of War in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Li Li trembled in fear when he thought of his great achievements.

The name "Chu Hechao" can represent that there is no one in the Central Plains.

He immediately invited General Yan Taboo to discuss countermeasures.

The countermeasures have not yet been discussed, and Qin Meng and Qin Pei's Qin army, which is closer to Luoyang, is almost at Yingchuan.

Yingchuan County is not far from Luoyang!

Li Li immediately asked Yan Taboo to send people to attack Qin's army, and Qin's army must not be allowed to approach Luoyang.

If it was really necessary to wait until the rebels had reached the gate of Luoyang before fighting back, it would be too late, and Li Li could not escape even if he wanted to.The battle must be as far away from Luoyang as possible.

Yan Yu is a veteran with rich experience in fighting the enemy, he also knows this truth, without further ado, he dispatched Zhonglang General Wan Liang under his command to lead [-] soldiers to Yingchuan County to meet the enemy.

Li Li looked gloomy, and said: "This battle must be won."

Although the number of people who came to attack Li Li was large, most of them were fools who mixed food and drink with credit. As long as Li Li could win a big victory in the first battle, more than half of these rebels would be frightened and hesitate. .

Conversely, if they lost the first battle, everyone in the world would think that Li Li was just a paper tiger, and they would swarm up and tear Li Li to pieces.

Yan Yan also said in a deep voice: "I understand."

Zhonglang General Wan Liang rushed to Yingchuan with [-] troops on the same day, and formally encountered Qin's army in Yingchuan ten days later.

Compared with the irregularity of Qin's army, Wan Liang was steadily promoted to Zhonglang General step by step, and he was also one of the famous generals in the world.

Qin Pei and Qin Meng were mediocre governors of the two states with royal blood. They were defeated not long after facing Wanliang.

And their soldiers were accepted by Li Lixin, and filled the 3 prisoners into his army.Before Chu Hechao and Yuanli led troops to fight Li Li, Li Li used the enemy's hands to strengthen himself first.

With the addition of these [-] soldiers, Li Li's momentum rose sharply.When the news of the disastrous defeat of Qin Meng and Qin Pei reached the ears of other rebels, they were shocked by the other rebels.

Fifty thousand soldiers of the Qin clan, lost just like that?

Did Li Li win so effortlessly?

Li Li and the others...are they that strong?

This disastrous defeat of Qin's army made most of the rebels who came to take credit for their contributions a little scared, and did not dare to approach Luoyang any more.They stayed in Jiyin County, eating and drinking every day, waiting for someone to take the lead in attacking Li Li, so that they could follow behind and have a sip of soup.

When they were frightened into shrinking turtles, Li Li took the opportunity to enlist conscription, even forced conscription.

Pull the people into the army, give these people a few old weapons or a stick at will, train them for ten days and a half months, and then push them onto the battlefield.

Such soldiers are not called soldiers. To be more precise, they are just ordinary farmers. They have only one role on the battlefield, and that is to send them to death.

Use corpses to block the enemy's advance, and use flesh and blood to slow down the time for the enemy to draw the knife.

Yan Yan doesn't like to use such soldiers, because such soldiers have not been trained orthodoxly, and they will collapse at any time and flee in a herd.As long as there is a deserter on the battlefield, the rest of the soldiers will be terrified and flee together.And once there is a collapse, it means that the army will be in chaos, and a big defeat will follow.

But if these soldiers who had only practiced for more than ten days were placed at the front as human shields, Yan Yan would have nothing to say. Although this move was cruel, it was also a simple and effective method in his opinion.

In September, the soldiers of Youzhou, which made Li Li most afraid, waved their flags and finally came to Hanoi County, thousands of miles away from Luoyang.
