Chapter 558: Stormy Rain

The next morning, Liu Yi went to see his mother to say goodbye to his mother after morning exercises, and then went to the state capital, the old man led the women to send him out of the house, Cai Yan also loaded all the things that Liu Yi brought with him, and ordered people to send them to the station of the guard camp outside the city, and it was Liu Yi's practice to spend time in the army on the eve of the expedition, which allowed him to withdraw from the warmth of home as soon as possible and quickly adapt to the atmosphere of the military camp.

In the state capital, Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai went through the details of yesterday's deliberations again, which is also the disadvantage caused by the backward means of communication at the end of the Han Dynasty, even if Liu Yijun has greatly surpassed other princes because of the existence of carrier pigeons, but only the transmission of information from Jizhou to Beiping will take a day or more, Luoyang will take at least three days, and there will still be accidents in this process! This kind of situation can be used to by others, but Liu Yi is still not very accustomed to this for so many years, especially in the current situation, it is even easier to be anxious.

After Liu Yi issued the military order yesterday, the response of the battalions was very rapid, and all the soldiers had arrived at the station of the guard battalion as required before noon today, and this time Liu Yi led a total of 10,000 people in the Tiger Guard Battalion, 6,000 people in the second battalion of the White Tiger Xuanwu, and 2,000 people in the guard battalion plus more than 20,000 cavalry troops in Fan Chou's Bingzhou battalion, this number is not huge, but in Liu Yi's hands it is already an extremely powerful force, but it is a little insufficient to deal with the changes in Sizhou, but compared to Sizhou, Jizhou's mobile forces are even more important, and 20,000 is already the limit.

Liu Yi, who left the state capital at night, went directly to the barracks, and after a round of inspections, the mental outlook of the soldiers in each battalion made him feel very satisfied, and the long-lost barracks made Liu Yi feel cordial in his heart, for him in this world, the barracks and home are the two most important places, and the state capital is more of a place for leisure, because it does not need to spend too much energy there.

Tomorrow is going to go on the expedition, usually Liu Yi will sleep early the night before, just before he goes to bed, Jizhou's message was sent to the military camp, this message is Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Jia Xu jointly signed, for Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai's response expressed their approval, but also made a suggestion, this time most of the matter is inseparable from Cao Mengde, so the original Tai Shi Ci Beiping camp to break into Qingzhou can be suspended, instead to wait for Cao Jun to dispatch a substantial blow in a small area, At the same time, Guo Jia specifically mentioned the matter of Zhang Hu's suppression last time in the letter, and bluntly said that he asked the lord for his guilt!

At the critical moment of the Battle of Jizhou that day, Zhang Hu once received information from Ugo that there was an additional young minister under Han Sui, who gave him advice and secretly wooed the Qiang tribes, and seemed to want to be unfavorable to Ma Shoucheng. Zhang Hu felt that no matter how this matter developed, it would not be unfavorable to the lord, because the lord was extremely righteous, but the world would never tolerate this, maybe Han Sui's success could make Liu Yi have no constraints in his heart! Back then, Jia Xu could not hesitate to be famous for the sake of the lord, and now he can also suppress this, Guo Jia's thoughts and Zhang Hu's thoughts are quite consistent, and the three of them also know that this matter is known to the three of them, this time Zhang Hu was poisoned, Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai After some analysis, they both felt that in addition to Cao Cao, they were inseparable from Ma Teng, and Guo Jia felt that something was strange when he heard it, so he also informed Liu Yi of the original nature of the matter!

After receiving this handwritten letter, Liu Yi had to fall into contemplation again, it can be said that he has been with him for many years to understand every great talent under his command, but they also have a deep understanding of themselves, it seems that the deep righteousness is really their own fatal wound, he does not have too much anger about Zhang Hu Guo Jia's concealment, even if he wants to pursue it, it will not be this juncture, and his heart is more of a reflection on his own personality, is his purpose really the great cause of the emperor? If that were the case, he would have to make a change, or he would one day pay a heavy price for it.

After careful consideration, he personally wrote a letter to Guo Jia in response, and did not mention it after the incident, but he had to remind Ma Teng to pay attention to the current situation, the biggest reason why Zhang Hu made this judgment was because Sizhou had more than 100,000 troops of him and Zhang Liao, Zhang Yan and others, but now this premise is greatly reduced because of Zhang Hu's inability to govern, at this time he is not willing to face Cao Cao and Han Sui at the same time, the Xiliang Ma family in history was destroyed by these two people together, and Ma Mengqi's life can be regarded as a displacement and suffering. In the end, Liu Bei was ranked among the five tiger generals, but he had never been really reused, and he died of depression at the age of forty-two.

Liu Yi was also imagining at this time, if Zhang Hu and Guo Jia really told themselves, what would he do? Now there is no answer to this question, or there is no meaning, he can only secretly make up his mind that in the future, no matter who he uses troops for, he will not be affected by the slightest other factor, Xiliang Han Sui is not well known to others, but Liu Yi has admired the name of the Yellow River Jiuqu for a long time, and then thinks of the last assassination, maybe there is still a figure of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong among the people behind the scenes, it seems that now except for Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang, all the powerful princes have stood on their opposites, even the former is just a combination of interests, but this is also what he has to face after all, and knock them down one by one.

Early the next morning, Liu Yi led the army out of camp, and their first goal was to join the party in the important town of the state! That is, his nominal hometown in this life, the matter of Sizhou is imminent, and Liu Yi will speed up extremely fast during the march, which is a necessary lesson in the peacetime training of the Youzhou army, so although the march is like flying, the combat power of the soldiers will not be greatly affected, and this march is in their own territory, and there is no need to worry about the possible enemy attack at any time.

In just ten days, Liu Yi's troops have walked 1,200 miles, and the average speed of 120 miles a day is quite amazing for a normal march, at this time they have reached the side of a post station closest to Shangdang, where they can be in Shangdang City around noon tomorrow after a little rectification! In the past few days, Liu Yi would receive news from Beiping whenever he went to a post station, the most exciting of which was that Zhang Hu was no longer in danger of his life after taking the pill given by Wang Xinran, but his body was extremely weak and needed to recuperate, so he should not overwork!

This news made Liu Yi quite happy, but what followed was a series of unfavorable military information with him, and the information transmitted to Chang'an Ma Teng was a step late, and on the second day after Liu Yi set out on the expedition, Han suddenly launched a mutiny, killing all the Ma Teng family who were caught off guard, Ma Chao and others fought bravely out of the encirclement but were nowhere to be found, and at the same time, a group of skilled black-clothed people began to attack Tian'er everywhere in Chang'an City, these actions were obviously planned for a long time, and most of the liaison stations in the city were destroyed. Tian'er has suffered the heaviest blow since becoming an army, fortunately Liu Yi's single-line contact method has played a role, and the only remaining secret place has sent him some important information, this time Han Sui's layout is all from the head of one person, and this person has just passed the year of the weak crown, it is Sima Yi, the son of Sima Fang, the word Zhongda!

Ma Teng's killing and the heavy blow suffered by Tian'er shocked Liu Yi, but he still had a certain psychological preparation for all this, what really shocked him was the person who planned this matter, born with the image of a hawk and a wolf, and then fought against Zhuge Liang Sima Zhongda, the governor of Wei State, this person is excellent in both military and political affairs and is extremely good at forbearance, Cao Cao can be restrained in fashion, but the foundation of this peerless hero has been stolen by his descendants as soon as he is gone, and now Sima Yi will appear in the land of Chang'an can only show one point, he must be Cao Cao's internal response, And this dark line must be incubated for a very long time, and it is easy to move, but now it is a shock, and the means in it are interlocking and carefully arranged, and this person's talent will never be under any of the top strategists in the world.

The reason why he made such a judgment was because Liu Yi believed that it would be difficult to serve Han Sui with the vision of a great talent like Sima Yi, and he was still tricked by the traitor in the troubled times after all, and what worried him even more was that since Sima Yi chose to make a move, killing Ma Teng's family to deal with Tianer would only be his first step, and what would follow would definitely be a monstrous wave against Sizhou! In it, Han Sui's method of dealing with Ma Teng made Liu Yi realize that only the dead can guarantee safety in troubled times, what kind of brotherly love is the meaning of friendship? Han Wenyue didn't have the slightest scruples about it.

His guess was indeed correct, on the day after the Chang'an Rebellion, Han Sui took advantage of the Hangu defenders not knowing this situation to carry out a surprise attack, and a team of elite soldiers crossed the mountains and mountains next to the Hangu Valley and went deep into the territory of Sizhou, although the Qinglong Battalion was a bloody battle under the leadership of the commander Yang Ming, but after all, it was outnumbered, after giving a huge blow to the enemy army entering the pass, this was in the West Garden to serve Liu Yi, and then for more than ten years has been loyal to the general with two thousand soldiers to defend the last line, and died on the battlefield! At this point, the situation in Sizhou has taken a sharp turn, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of Han Sui's department is about to rush to Chang'an! However, Yang Ming's death battle finally won some time for Zhang Liao to respond, and in the case of Zhang Hu's inability to govern, Wen Yuan resolutely led the light cavalry to counterattack at the moment of the enemy's great victory, and defeated all the men and horses in the front of the enemy's triumphant army. Even so, he did not use a single soldier on the Tiger Prison, so that Li Dian, the general of Cao Ying, had to be abolished and returned! The situation is thrilling.

After Liu Yi heard the report, he did not stop at the post station but immediately led the army to rush to the party, the situation in front of him was extremely grim, the original army of more than 100,000 in Sizhou had been damaged in order to cooperate with the Jizhou War, at this time, in addition to the tiger prison, Zhang Liao had only 50,000 available soldiers, and although his assault achieved great results, it also made the enemy's march more cautious, this time Han Sui and Zhang Lu jointly attacked more than 200,000 troops, including more than 70,000 elite Xiliang iron cavalry, Even with the 20,000 soldiers in Liu Yi's hands, it is still an absolute disadvantage.

This military urgency can be said to be unique in Liu Yi's career, at this time it is too late to transfer troops from all over the country, Liu Yi can only rely on his own strength to complete the Sizhou battle, and this battle will have a profound impact on his future direction, this heavy pressure and the death of the siblings made Liu Yi's fighting spirit more excited, he admitted that he had lost the first hand, but this first hand could not determine the success or failure of this battle, Sizhou a battle he Liu Langsheng will shock the world again!
