Yizhou is roughly divided into two major forces because of Liu Yan and Zhang Lu, one is Liu Yan, who occupies most of the area of Yizhou, not only the Han clan, but also the righteous Yizhou Mu, under the command of a lot of talents, even Zhang Ren, who was born in the Divine Spear Pavilion, is devoted to Liu Yan, plus the support of a number of Yizhou families, it makes Liu Yan's power swell greatly.

Although Zhang Lu said that there was only one Hanzhong, he had the support of the Heavenly Master behind him, and Hanzhong was already rich, although it was not as good as some of the big counties in the Central Plains, but it was also very good, so that Zhang Lu could occupy Hanzhong and fight against Liu Yan. In fact, it can't be said to be a court of justice, but now Liu Yan feels that dealing with Zhang Lu is a bit more than worth the loss, so he wants to put Zhang Lu down for the time being, and wait until the time is right in the future to deal with Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu just turned against Liu Yan, and did not want to erect Yuan Shu as a strong enemy, Yuan Shu's strength is much stronger than Liu Yan, now Yuan Shu occupies Nanyang and Yuzhou, and there is the Yuan family in Runan, the world's first family to rely on, plus Yuan Shu built a library in Pingyu not long ago, which attracted many scholars to Pingyu, so that Yuan Shu's reputation skyrocketed for a while.

Although Yuan Shu made the collection of books he got public in the library pavilion, Yuan Shu and many families were born with some gaps, but most of the elite children of the family still couldn't resist the temptation of the library pavilion, and went to Pingyu one after another, adding a lot of powerful subordinates to Yuan Shu.

When Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and other prefectures and counties were not very stable, Yuzhou and Nanyang, which were under the control of Yuan Shu, were rare stable places in the world, and they were not affected by the war, and Yuan Shu did not impose taxes and other behaviors, so that the people under Yuan Shu's rule lived a good life.

Yuan Shu's strength is so strong that Zhang Lu doesn't want to have such a strong enemy outside of Liu Yan, through Nanyang, Yuan Shu can attack Hanzhong at any time.

Although Zhang Lu occupies Hanzhong according to the power of the Heavenly Master's Dao, so that Liu Yan has no way to deal with him, this does not mean that Zhang Lu's brain has a problem, if he only needs to deal with one Liu Yan, he will naturally be able to protect himself, but once he and Yuan Shu are enemies, and at the same time face the two princes of Yuan Shu and Liu Yan, his Hanzhong may not be able to hold it.

Based on these considerations, when Liu Yan found the traces of Ji Ling, a general under Yuan Shu, in the land of Hanzhong, although Zhang Lu was also very suspicious of Ji Ling's purpose in appearing in Hanzhong, but because he didn't want to make a feud with Yuan Shu, Zhang Lu did not make a move against Ji Ling. Otherwise, with Zhang Lu's strength and the masters of the Heavenly Master Dao, it would not be a problem to leave a Ji Ling.

After letting Ji Ling go, Zhang Lu also began to use the power of the Heavenly Master Dao to investigate the whereabouts of Ji Ling and others in Hanzhong, when he learned that Ji Ling and others entered Hanzhong from the direction of Zitong County, Zhang Lu was relieved, at least now it seems that Ji Ling's appearance in Hanzhong should just be passing by, not Yuan Shu's meaning, if Yuan Shu also thinks about Hanzhong, then Zhang Lu will also feel a headache.

After leaving Hanzhong, Yuan Yao and his party appeared in the territory of Wudang County, Nanyang, and after walking for a distance, Ji Ling raised his eyebrows, and suddenly stepped forward, and the horizontal three-pointed two-edged knife blocked in front of Yuan Yao, and said: "Son, be careful, there are most soldiers and horses coming in front, and the number of people listening to the sound should be about five hundred." ”

"About five hundred?" Yuan Yao's face showed a different color, and he said to Ji Ling: "Master, could this be our person, according to the time, Yang Changshi should have received it a long time ago, will this be the person he sent." ”

The look of vigilance on Ji Ling's face did not disappear, and he said: "It's hard to say, although we are now in Nanyang, we still can't be careless." However, according to my perception, there should be no existence at the level of Condensation Realm and Void Soul Realm among these five hundred people, unless it is a strength far superior to mine or has cultivated some special practice to conceal whereabouts, otherwise my perception will not be wrong. ”

While Yuan Yao and Ji Ling were talking, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, and Zhou Cang also surrounded them with weapons in their hands, and surrounded Yuan Yao tightly in the center.

"Zhou Cang, you go and take a look, pay attention to safety." Yuan Yao looked at Zhou Cang beside him and ordered.

"My subordinates understand!" After Zhou Cang got the order, he turned over and dismounted, opened his legs, and ran away in the direction that Ji Qi knew most of the people and horses were traveling.

Zhou Cang himself is a Scud, and his speed on the ground is not much worse than that of some demon beasts of the same level as Zhou Cang. Soon, Zhou Cang's figure disappeared from the sight of Yuan Yao and others.

After Zhou Cang left, Yuan Yao and the others did not continue to move forward, but strangled the war horse under his crotch and stood still. Before inquiring about the news, it is better to stay put. Although they have Ji Ling, a fierce general in the Condensing Gang Realm, they are not wrong to be cautious after all.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhou Cang rushed back, came to Yuan Yao, and said to Yuan Yao and Ji Ling: "Childe, General Ji, the number of people who came is about 500 people, and they are under the banner of our army, and I don't know the person who is the leader, but he is playing a 'Li' character general flag." ”

"Lee?" Ji Ling frowned: "I remember that Yang Hong, Zhang Xun and Liu Xun should be in Nanyang now, and I haven't heard of any people surnamed Li under these people, could it be that they are counterfeiting the banner of our army?" ”

"Li" Yuan Yao showed a smile at this time, he had almost guessed the person with the "Li" flag, if it was him, he was indeed qualified to play a "Li" flag.

"Master, don't worry, this person should be ours."

"Oh?" Ji Ling turned his head to look at Yuan Yao and asked, "Childe, do you know who it is?" ”

Yuan Yao said: "When I was in Wancheng, I met a small official, named Li Yan, this person is quite talented, and later I recommended it to Yang Changshi, with this person's ability, it will inevitably be reused by Yang Changshi, I estimate that this time to pick us up should be this person." ”

"Oh!" Ji Ling didn't react to Yuan Yao's answer, but just followed Yuan Yao's order to move forward again, and soon after, they met the 500-strong army with the banner of "Li", led by a man dressed in military uniform, riding a horse, and a sharp sword hanging from his waist, it was Li Yan.

When he saw Li Yan, Yuan Yao showed a smile on his face, looking at this Li Yan's appearance, he should be a good mix under Yang Hong. However, Li Yan's ability is already outstanding, Yang Hong is also down-to-earth, and there will be no suppression of dissidents, and it is not strange that Li Yan can get out of the way.
