0737: Suspicion

When Zhang Fei, Zhang Jaw, and Xiahou Dun led their troops to Xingyang City, they immediately launched a fierce attack. However, this is naturally difficult for Xu Rong, who has been on guard for a long time, after all, the previous behavior of constantly provoking the enemy army, in addition to wanting to play a tired strategy, is not without the intention of luring the enemy to attack.

It's just that when this onslaught lasted for several days, Xu Rong and the others felt that something was wrong.

"That's not right! It is absolutely impossible for the enemy not to see that Xingyang is just a decoy thrown by His Highness! But why are they still so recklessly attacking? Xu Rong frowned and muttered.

"Could it be that they want to lure His Highness and General Gao out for a decisive battle?" Guan Yu stroked his beard and groaned.

"Impossible! The enemy's forces are not much more than ours, and with this approach, the initiative is completely in the hands of His Highness, and the gains outweigh the losses. Zhang Liao objected.

"Maybe the enemy has other plans, but in any case, this matter must be reported to His Highness immediately." Yang Xiu said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Xu Rong and the three of them nodded again and again, and immediately wrote a letter in detail about the matter and sent someone to the revolving gate.

"Hmm...... Going on for days on end? This is really a bit incomprehensible......" Li Yi looked at the letter in his hand and muttered to himself suspiciously.

"Your Highness, it's impossible for the enemy army not to guess that Xingyang is just a decoy. And since Yan Wang and the others still choose to attack, there must be a backhand. Guo Jia said respectfully when he heard this, but after speaking, he showed a look of doubt and shame, "It's just ...... The subordinates still can't guess what they are......"

"Hmm...... What about the others? Any ideas? Li Yi nodded when he heard this, and turned his head to look at the others.

"Could it be King Yan that they are waiting for reinforcements? For example, Yuan Shu in Yangzhou?! Sima Yi said with a solemn expression, "Although the banner of the coalition army is that His Royal Highness does not obey the orders of the imperial court and intends to establish himself as the emperor. If he unites with the puppet emperor Yuan Shu, it will definitely affect his reputation. But if they really colluded secretly, then Yuan Shu must have directly attacked Nanyang to clear the customs, so that King Yan and they had no way to explain......"

"But in this case, they should delay their time, so why do they continue to attack?" Guo Jia retorted when he heard this.

"That'...... Is there anyone else? Sima Yi frowned when he heard this and said, he really couldn't think of anyone else the coalition could woo. After all, if it is today, the only force that can participate in or influence the victory or defeat of this war is Yuan Shu. Liu Zhang? No kidding.

After discussing for a long time, everyone did not guess the enemy's intentions. In desperation, Li Yi had no choice but to order Xu Rong to continue to guard Xingyang, and at the same time send someone to Jingzhou again to inquire about the situation. In addition, he ordered people to go to Jingzhaoyin and asked Zhang Ren and Xu Shu to strengthen the vigilance of Wuguan.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, even if Yuan Shu really participates in the war? The terrain of Wuguan is dangerous, even if Yuan Shu sends hundreds of thousands of troops, he only needs to send a general to lead an army of 50,000 to block them all. After everyone dispersed, seeing Li Yi, who was still frowning deeply, Lu Wen opened her mouth to persuade.

"That's it, that's why I'm worried! If it weren't for Yuan Shu, who would it be? Or are they not trying to win over new allies, but are they pulling out some kind of machia? Li Yi shook his head and sighed.

"Your Highness, don't worry, even if the enemy army really has any reinforcements, with the strength of our army now, there is no need to be afraid at all!" Lu Wen smiled and comforted when she heard this.

"Hmm......" Li Yi nodded noncommittally and didn't say anything more.

At the end of May, the coalition army's onslaught on Xingyang lasted for half a month, and it seems that it will continue to fight. This situation undoubtedly made Li Yi even more puzzled.

"Your Highness, the information I have obtained from various places during this period of time has not found anything abnormal. However, the coalition forces are increasing troops from all over the country, and the specific number is not available for the time being. Guo Jia said in a deep voice.

"That's right...... What about Jingzhou? Li Yi stroked his beard and groaned, his face expressionless, and it was completely impossible for people to guess what he was thinking at this time.

"The troops of the puppet emperor Yuan Shu have already invaded the territory of the Chu State, and Sun Ce of the South Road has broken through Zhijiang City. However, according to the inquiry, it seems that the king of Chu took the initiative to give up Zhijiang......" Guo Jia pouted and said, seemingly disagreeing with Liu Biao's approach.

In addition, the puppet emperor Yuan Shu defeated the defender Huang Zu in Jiangxia and captured the Lower Pheasant City. In Yuzhou, Zhang Xun and Cai Mao confronted each other. However, the Yuan clan is too deeply rooted in Runan County, I am afraid that it will not be long before the territory of the King of Chu in Yuzhou will change hands, right? Guo Jia guessed.

"Meng De, didn't they react to Yuan Shu's troops entering Yuzhou?" Li Yi asked.

"Nope." Guo Jia shook his head.

Back in the mansion, Li Yi lay heavily on the rocking chair, touching Xiaobai's soft fur with one hand, and holding a wine jug with the other hand and constantly pouring it. He looked at the clear sky with a solemn expression. "I always feel that Meng De and they already have a very big plan, and they will cause me big trouble......" Li Yi thought with a frown.

"Your Highness...... Don't worry so much, the wrinkles are out. I don't know how long it took, but Lu Wen's voice pulled him back from his contemplation. followed the sound and found that Lu Wen was looking at herself with a worried and unbearable look.

"Wrinkles?" Li Yi subconsciously touched his face, although he didn't touch anything in the end, he still couldn't help laughing at himself, "Isn't it normal to have wrinkles?" In two years, I'll be in the age of no doubts...... It's also an old man~"

"Tut-tut, that's how I failed...... Other time-travelers returned to the Three Kingdoms and basically ruled the world before the age of forty. Some can even go straight to Europe. But what about me? Although it already has a certain advantage, how to calculate it, it will take at least ten years...... If Mengde and the others insist on it any longer, maybe the great task of unifying the world will have to be handed over to Xin'er. When the time comes, if there is any bloody drama in Kowloon to win the heir...... "Maybe it's really old?" Li Yi suddenly began to think crankily.

Seeing Li Yi's brows furrowed, Lu Wen didn't know what to think, and suddenly reached out and stepped forward to help Li Yi smooth out the wrinkles that surfaced. The somewhat rough fingers brushed over Li Yi's face, looking at Lu Wen's worried and distressed appearance, Li Yi couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while.

Feeling Li Yi's gaze, a trace of ruddy appeared on Lu Wen's cheeks. However, she did not dodge, but looked directly at Li Yi, in addition to the full tenderness in her eyes, there was also unshakable firmness.

Slowly, Lu Wen's face kept getting closer to Li Yi......

Getting closer......

"Smack!" With a bang, Li Yi's big hand pressed Lu Wen's little face, "You girl, are you still playing sneak attack now?" Li Yi looked at Lu Wen angrily, but the turmoil in his heart did not calm down.

"Damn! Just a little bit! You should just pounce on it! Lu Wen shook off the big hand on her face in shame and stomped her feet in remorse.
