Chapter 356: Death and Life Decision
Zhuzhou Mansion, Linjiang Military Camp---
Li Yan stood under Li Cen, the Marquis of Nanguo, and bowed down to report: "Father, the war in Zhuzhou has basically ended, and some sporadic resistance is no longer enough to affect the overall situation. Our army marched westward from Linjiang City, and after a month, it completely annihilated all the formed garrisons of the Zhuzhou Prefecture and occupied all the major towns including the Zhuzhou City. Lord Sima Tian is reassuring the people, believing that they will soon be able to settle down. ”
Li Cen frowned, not at all happy because of the great victory in Zhuzhou, and said, "Have you figured out the situation in Qianzhou?" ”
Li Yan hesitated for a moment, and replied: "According to the news sent by the mission we sent to Shuzhong, the Shu army that raided Qianzhou was about 20,000 people, and it was commanded by Shama Naigu, a member of the Zhen tribe, and Yang Yi was also very likely to personally accompany the army. ”
Li Cen's face was not good, and he said coldly: "Hmph... Their news came really quickly, and if it was sent a few days later, I am afraid that Yang Yi would have already taken Qianzhou. ”
Li Yan said: "This can't be all blamed on them, in the past few months, the Shu army has been wandering near Daque Mountain on the grounds of drills, but no one expected that they would really dare to sneak through the Death Demon Domain to attack Qianzhou Mansion." ”
"What about your sister? Doesn't your sister know either? Li Cen said suddenly.
Li Yan paused for a moment, not knowing how to answer, Li Yu has now become the quasi-princess of the Shu Palace, Yang Yi has such a big move, it is impossible for her not to notice it.
Li Yan wanted to defend his sister, but Li Cen waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "It's really a big woman." ”
Li Yan hurriedly said: "However, the progress of the Shu army after entering the Qianzhou Mansion is not smooth, Qianzhou is the base camp of the Changsheng Sect, their power there can be said to be deep-rooted, according to the report of the spies, the Shu army is now trapped in a place called Huanxiang Mountain south of the Qianzhou Mansion, it is difficult to move an inch, it is estimated that it will take another half a month, the long supply line of the Shu army will be difficult to support, and Yang Yi may have to choose to withdraw his troops at that time." ”
Li Cen's eyes were slightly closed, and his fingers were gently tapping on the desk, and he already knew the news that Li Yan said that the Shu army was blocked in Qianzhou, but Li Cen always had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Naughty, you have a good relationship with the Nine Nerds, do you think this person is a person who will give up easily?" Li Cen suddenly asked.
Although Li Yan wondered why Li Cen asked this, he shook his head without hesitation and said: "No, the nine nerds look lazy and casual on weekdays, and no one will feel that he is a tough person when he sees it, only after staying with him for a long time, he will find that he will never be soft in his bones, if he doesn't fight with you, it's not that he can't fight with you, but it's probably because he looks down on you from the bottom of his heart and thinks that there is no need to fight with you." ”
Li Cen nodded slowly and said: "This kind of talent is the most terrifying, he never cares about other people's eyes, but he always does some jaw-dropping things inadvertently when others are noticing."
Back then, Kowloon in the capital won the throne, and the wind and clouds met. Yang Qi, Yang Su are so high-spirited, but now they are dead and prisoners, only Yang Yi and Yang Jie, who no one looked down on at the beginning, became the final winners. ”
Hearing what his father said, Li Yan smiled and said: "According to the child, if Yang Yi really wanted to compete for the throne, I'm afraid Yang Jie would not be his opponent." ”
Li Cen said: "Hmm... Yang Jie is forbearance, Yang Yi is indisputable, the mentality between the two has changed in essence, and people with power are always unable to find the right path. However, in the past few years, from Yang Yi's entry into Shuzhong to the pacification of Dayue Kingdom, it can be seen that this person's strategic vision is really extraordinary, and what is even more surprising is that this prince of the Nine Nerds also has an extremely outstanding talent in governing internal affairs. ”
In the past few years, Li Cen has never given up the investigation of Yang Yi, and even secretly sent someone to find out all the palace maids and eunuchs who had been to the cold palace where Concubine Ning and Yang Yi lived and questioned them in detail, but no one saw any clues, Yang Yi couldn't even take care of himself for more than ten years before he entered Guozi School, and his change happened after escaping from a serious illness, and no one knew what he had experienced.
"Could it be that the Nine Nerds are really plague gods?" Li Cen laughed at himself.
The Shu army was now blocked in Qianzhou, but Li Cen always had a sense of foreboding.
"Pass the order, the whole army will repair for two days, and immediately advance to Qianzhou after two days, and be sure to enter Qianzhou City before the Shu army!"
Li Cen paused for a moment and said to Li Yan: "You immediately set off to return to Linjiang City, and send an envoy to negotiate with Yang Jie in secret again, no matter what the price is, you must ensure that Yang Jie will not vomit and suddenly intervene." ”
Li Yan nodded and said, "Yang Jie is now busy rectifying the chaos in Gyeongju Mansion, plus with so many benefits we promised, he shouldn't suddenly run out to make trouble, after all, he doesn't want to start a full-scale war with us now." ”
Li Cen said coldly: "It's not that it should, but it must!" ”
"The child knows." Li Yan paused for a moment, and hurriedly bowed down to worship, but a sense of loss rose in his heart, knowing that he might not see the nine nerds again this time.

Perhaps Li Cen and Li Yan's father and son both looked up to Yang Yi a little, because Yang Yi's situation at this time could be described as extremely difficult, and he could become the soul of the Immortal Sect at any time.
When Yang Yi saw the Heavenly Master for the first time, he could be sure that this person was Wu Huan, the head of the Immortal Sect, and it happened that Wu Huan was standing on the hillside, and he also saw Yang Yi standing in the crowd at a glance, and his eyes never moved away.
"Heavenly Master!"
"King Shu!"
The two of them whispered softly almost at the same time.
Without too many words, nor without the momentum of swearing to the death relative to Qiangqiang, Yang Yi and Wu Huan clearly understood in their hearts that every minute of delay, the entire battle situation would change rapidly.
Wu Huan's eyes were like torches, staring at Yang Yi deadly, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to the hundreds of Dharma protectors behind him: "Capture the nine nerds alive, and the others will not leave them alive!" ”
Yang Yi gently wiped off the blood stains on his cheeks that were almost dry, and said to everyone: "Don't care about the back, just rush forward, rush out and count one by one!" ”
The battle began silently, a battle of modest scale, but undoubtedly a strong conversation.
The Dharma protector led by Wu Huan is one of the best generals in the Immortal Sect, and he has become famous in the Immortal Sect. In the past few years that Wu Huan has been in charge, there are countless people who want to take his life, but almost no one can get close to him, and the strong Dharma protector plays a crucial role.
Three years ago, Sima of Qianzhou, angry at Wu Huan's brutal tyranny, gathered more than 2,000 disciples and righteous soldiers to assassinate Wu Huan when he went out of the city to worship immortals, and Wu Huan was only guarded by 200 Dharma protectors at that time. However, even though the strength advantage was close to tenfold, Sima of Qianzhou still failed to kill Wu Huan, but he was beheaded by the Dharma Protector in the chaotic army, and the rebel army was wiped out. This battle also made the Dharma Protector a terrifying existence in Qianzhou.
And Yang Yi's side, after a few days and nights of fighting and fleeing, although there are only more than 1,000 people left, but all of them who can survive until now are people with extraordinary martial arts.
Therefore, this battle is destined to be extremely fierce.
In this encounter, "you die and I die" is not an exaggerated modifier, but a true portrayal of the battlefield, even a pawn, knows in his heart that the outcome of this battle will affect the final belonging of the entire Qianzhou and even Daguang Nandi.
