Chapter Seventy-Four: The Soldiers Are Divided into Two Paths

Xi Zhicai spoke: "Lord" just didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and a thunderous shout suppressed his words below.

"The rebellious Zhang Liang will die, and you won't surrender?!" Zhang Fei sat on top of the black horse, jumped Zhang Liang's head with a snake spear, and shouted loudly.

The battlefield was silent for a while, whether it was the Yellow Turban Army or Liu Yu's subordinates, they all couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei, who was furious, and the head that kept dripping blood, the battle intent and madness on their faces slowly subsided, and they became silent.

After a while.

"Bang Dang"

I don't know who first put the weapon in his hand on the ground in the Yellow Turban Army, as if it was a chain reaction, with the first one, the next moment, a dense sound of weapons falling to the ground resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Yellow Turban Army without weapons also sat on the ground red with blood as if resigned to their fate, covering their wounds and wailing.

Listening to the wails around him, Xu Rong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although his command was already a fierce soldier who had gone through a hundred battles, but in the face of this ruined Yellow Turban Army, he fought for an hour in a row, not only suffered heavy losses, but everyone was exhausted, and he didn't know who would win and who would lose if he continued to fight.

"Clean up the battlefield, bury the dead, unify the wounded for treatment, keep these Yellow Turban soldiers firmly guarded, and deal with them according to the old rules." Looking up at Liu Yu on the city wall, Xu Rong pondered for a moment, and immediately opened his mouth to command.

Several generals around "Nuo" respectfully received the order, and immediately beat their horses and galloped to all directions to convey Xu Rong's order.

After a while, the soldiers, who had been significantly reduced by half compared to before the battle, immediately took action, first put the Yellow Turbans in custody, and then began to clean up the battlefield, and there was once again an uproar outside Nanpi City.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the stumps and blood all over the ground below, Liu Yu's face couldn't help but show a look of fatigue, until now, the road to hegemony has not officially begun, he is already a little overwhelmed, and he can't help but sigh in his heart: "Sure enough, it's not just a matter of thinking about the hegemony of the world, if it goes on like this, I will die before the world is peaceful." ”

sighed here, Liu Yu couldn't help but think about what Xi Zhicai had done, but the murderous intent in his heart was completely gone.

In fact, from the very beginning, Liu Yu knew that he was not a good hero and a king, and Xi Zhicai's layout of slowly transforming him into a qualified king can be said to be very correct at present, and it has infinite benefits for him, but if he is really transformed into a king, he doesn't know if he will be himself or not himself by then?

"Whew" Liu Yu exhaled heavily, just like this breath exhaled the tangled entanglements in his heart out of his body, his eyes re-revealed a piercing edge, and said in a low voice: "Fighting for the world, the result doesn't matter to me, what I want is the process in between, so"

"Let me fight for this world." Turning around, Liu Yu whispered while walking back, and when he arrived at Xi Zhicai's side, he patted the other party's shoulder, did not speak, and passed by.

Up to now, Liu Yu can be said to know Xi Zhicai very well, and he also knows that the other party is not a Guo Jia character as he thought before, but a character with monstrous ambitions in his heart, similar to Sima Yi, and he doesn't believe in the legend of Xi Zhicai's death in history, but thinks that Xi Zhicai also did the same thing to Cao Ying as he did to him, and it was also leaked, but Cao Ying said: "I'd rather be responsible for the people of the world than for the people of the world to bear me." The hero of this sentence, coupled with the fact that there was no shortage of top strategists under Cao Ying's command at that time, so the ending of Xi Zhicai can be said very clearly.

"Stepping on the steps" slowly walked towards the stairs, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that I have to find the mastermind again." ”

For Xi Zhicai, Liu Yu doesn't plan to kill him, after all, he is very short of top strategists now, he will reuse Xi Zhicai, but he will not believe in the other party wholeheartedly as before, and treat the other party as his mastermind, after all, betraying once can betray twice, this kind of thing is enough once, he never wants a second time.

Moreover, for Xi Zhicai, the reason why Liu Yu will not kill the other party, in addition to the need for the other party's strategy, the main reason why he still has trust in him is the main reason, after all, although Xi Zhicai has a lot of ambition in his heart, but the other party's goal is only to train him into a generation of founding emperors, and he is not like Sima Yi who always thinks about being the emperor.

And the reason why Liu Yu wants to choose the mastermind again is not that he doesn't believe in Xi Zhicai, it's just that people's hearts are the most unpredictable, and sometimes power can completely change a person, and he is not sure that Xi Zhicai will not be behind himself in the end.

That's when it happened.

"Master Qiqi, Yecheng is in a hurry."

A hurried voice interrupted Liu Yu's contemplation, and when he looked up, a messenger quickly turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, holding the cylindrical letter in both hands, seeing this, he signaled to the guards beside him, and he did not step forward, but took a few steps back.

At Liu Yu's signal, a Yanyun eighteen rider next to him quickly walked down the stairs, took the letter and walked back to Liu Yu's side quickly, and handed the letter in his hand to Liu Yu.

took out the letter and opened it, and only the words "Zuo Feng to Wei County" jumped into his eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Yu's eyes couldn't help but flash a gleam, and at this time, he also knew that the messenger in front of him must be a secret agent developed by Zhang Ling, so he immediately let down his guard and waved his hand: "I have received the information, you go back and receive the reward." ”

"Master Xie, my subordinates retire." The messenger respectfully received the order, turned over and got on his horse, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"I didn't expect Zuo Feng to come so soon, it looks like the plan is about to change." Liu Yu thought deeply.

By now, history has been changed by Liu Yu, in the original history, Zhang Jiao should have been defeated to Guangzong, and Lu Zhi would also besiege Zhang Jiao in Guangzong, and then offended Zuo Feng, so he was ordered by the emperor to be escorted back to Luoyang, and then Dong Zhuo replaced Lu Zhi, but unfortunately Dong Zhuo was bent on keeping his head down, so he was defeated by Zhang Jiao, and Lu Zhi's preparations were exhausted.

And now, because of the appearance of Liu Yu, Zhang Jiao gathered the elites of the surrounding states to Jizhou from the beginning, thus gathering 500,000 soldiers and horses, and there were 300,000 of the most elite Yellow Turban troops in Yecheng, so that Lu Zhi relied on 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight hard, and there was no way to defeat Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Jiao did not go all out, so that the battle situation in Yecheng was deadlocked.

Liu Yu didn't know if the plot of Lu Zhuo's dismissal in history would appear, but he didn't dare to bet, if Dong Zhuo was really replaced, then under Dong Zhuo's passive sabotage, he would face Zhang Jiao's 300,000 army alone, and when he was Sun Wu and the First Emperor alive, there was no way to break through Yecheng, so he didn't dare to bet.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu suppressed the thought in his heart, turned around and said, "Zhicai, you send someone to recruit Yide and a few people to come to the county guard mansion to discuss the military situation." After saying that, he walked quickly down the city wall and walked towards the county guard's mansion.

Xi Zhicai, who was standing on the city wall, was stunned at first when he heard this, and the next moment, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and said softly: "Since you still dare to use me, then I will still help you win the whole world and help you ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan." ”

After speaking, Xi Zhicai chuckled and went down the city wall, for him, his ambition since childhood is to become a Zhang Liang-style character, help a person get the world, and finally retire after success, but one thing is destined to be difficult in the world, he is not Zhang Liang, and Liu Yu is not Liu Bang, so he failed, but Liu Yu is not Cao Ying, so he is still alive.

Up to now, although Xi Zhicai has not given up his ambitions, he does not want to follow Zhang Liang anymore, relying on his own wisdom, he believes that he will definitely help Liu Yu get the world.

"I don't just want to help him get the world, I also want to be a supreme minister to prove that I surpass you Zhang Liang!"

Time passed, and the golden crow in the sky slowly slanted westward.

Nanpi, the lobby of the county guard's house.

Liu Yu looked at Zhang Fei, Xi Zhicai, Dian Wei, and Xu Rong who were sitting on the left and right, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Qingyun, what are the casualties in this battle?" ”

"Lord, Yan Yunjingqi has lost two people, 100 seriously injured, no less than 1,000 people have been lightly injured, more than half of the 20,000 soldiers have been lost, and there are less than 8,000 people who can fight when they throw out the seriously injured." Xu Rong got up and said with a solemn face.

The faces of the other people in the hall changed slightly when they heard this, although they thought that this battle would be greatly damaged, but they did not expect that it would be so large, even Yan Yunjing's cavalry was damaged, and moreover, more than 10,000 of the 20,000 soldiers died, this kind of casualty has not been seen since the beginning of the war.

However, everyone present knew that Xu Rong was not to blame for such a big loss, after all, the Yellow Turban in Jizhou was obviously more than a step higher in elite than the Yellow Turban in other places, and it was already Xu Rong's credit to be able to win.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Yu immediately ordered: "Xu Rong, you and Zhang Fei stay in Nanpi, while selecting the elite of the Yellow Turban to replenish the source of troops, while sweeping Jizhou, if you are sure, you will give me the giant deer to capture, the most important thing is that you will send the resources of Jizhou to me secretly back to Youzhou, this matter must be cautious, and no mistakes can be made." ”

"Nuo" Zhang Fei and Xu Rong glanced at each other, and at the same time got up to receive the order.

"Today is a day off, and tomorrow Ben Hou will lead three thousand Yan Yunjing with Zhicai and Dian Wei to ride west into Yecheng and go to meet that corner for a while." Liu Yu said in a deep voice.

After talking about the details in detail, Liu Yu let a few people leave, got up and strolled out of the lobby, looking at the western sky, he couldn't help but exude a strong royal spirit, and said in a low voice: "It's time for the Yellow Turban Rebellion to end." ”
