Chapter 433: A promise is about to be cashed out

Ahead is Hangu Pass, facing the fortress that is not open by one man, Li Yi has no way to break the pass, so he can only wait for the arrival of the follow-up soldiers and horses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The status of Hangu Pass is very important, and it will go straight through the customs when you leave the customs, and there is no danger to defend, which is the last barrier that Dong Zhuo can retreat from. Dong Zhuo handed over the heavy responsibility of guarding the pass to his henchman Duan Xuan, and left 10,000 soldiers and horses for him to send.

After a long wait, Li Yi waited for two days, and finally looked forward to Zhang Ying's Chinese army. At this time, Li Yi's army had grown to more than 30,000 people, and although its combat effectiveness had declined, its majestic momentum was no longer comparable to that when the troops were dispatched.

Finally, the treasure can be dug up blatantly, and the people's fat and ointment looted by these magnates will not only see the light of day, but also be taken from the people for the people.

The economy of Jianzhou is booming, but the tax rate of 30 taxes and one cannot support the huge financial expenditure, especially after the start of the canal, the fiscal deficit has increased sharply, and the people have paid hard work and sweat, and can only go home with white slips. I wanted to make up for the huge deficit by seafaring trade, but the foundation of navigation was weak, so I had to adopt a cautious and prudent strategy, step by step, and cross the river by feeling the stones. Nowadays, maritime trade is confined to the doorstep, and the profits are negligible.

Due to the shortage of funds, which affected the progress of the canal project, Li Yi initially strictly banned the issuance of white slips, which led to the suspension of the canal. The people are under great pressure to sell grain, and they would rather not be paid as long as the canal is restarted. Weighing the pros and cons, Li Yi could only conform to public opinion and restart this huge project by issuing a blank note.

However, the white strip did not affect the progress of the project in the slightest, because Li Yi did what he said and won the trust of the people, and his name was the best golden signboard.

Just when Li Yi extinguished the fire in Luoyang, the good news reached the army, and the initial section of the Songliao Canal, the section from Dongliao Water to Yitong River, was opened to navigation. Hearing this exciting news, Li Yi, Zhang Ying, Yu Bing, and even the officers and men of the whole army couldn't help but cheer.

In order to prevent trouble, absorbing the invasion of Goguryeo, the north of Tongcheng is a densely populated area, and the navigation from Dongliaoshui to Yitong River benefits more than half of the people, which is of great significance. When Li Yi led the army to the south, the river dredging work of Wuhou Qinshui, Raoleshui and Dongliaoshui was also in full swing.

Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo calculated everything, almost exhausted the organs, and ended up infamous for thousands of years, but he made a wedding dress for others and fulfilled Li Yi. With this huge amount of money, Li Yi can not only recover all the white strips, but also ensure the smooth operation of Jianzhou for several years.

Since the beginning of the battle, although he has achieved great victories in a row, he has failed to reward the three armies, and now Li Yi has become the richest man in the world.

The army arrived at Hangu Pass, and the endless joint camp put tremendous pressure on Duan Xuan. And Li Yijun copied the tactics of the Tiger Prison Pass, and sent troops and horses to the front of the pass every day to spread rumors and make trouble. It's just that last time it was a half-truth, but this time there is no truth. The morale of the defenders at Hangu Pass was low, and when they heard these rumors, their morale was further damaged.

Duan Xuan didn't have many hole cards, so he didn't dare to fight easily, so he could only appease the army's morale every day and meet Li Yijun's strong attack. Duan Xuan is a fierce general under Dong Zhuo, and Hangu Pass is guarded by him, although the defenders are disheartened, but without one or two thousand lives, they can't replace this Xiongguan.

Sun Tzu's Art of War: Go to the army to strategize, then to attack the enemy, then to attack the army, and then attack the city! Only a fool would ignore the lives of a soldier and do such a stupid thing.

But the problem was in front of Li Yi, and he had no choice but to set his sights on the two wives. Yu Bing was also worried, she silently calculated the time, and suddenly raised her head and said: "Tomorrow Xuanwei will be free, if the general changes his mind, it is still too late to turn back!" ”

Huaxiong came from a humble background, naturally no one wrote for him, and after a long time in Li Yi's camp, he saw that the generals were all famous and well-known, so he also asked Li Yi to express his words. Li Yi came easily, and the word Xuan Wei was tall and majestic, which made Hua Xiong very satisfied.

Over time, they fell in love, especially Li Yi and others were almost equal to their own people to Huaxiong, even the old lord had never trusted him so much. At this time, Hua Xiong's mood was very conflicted, and he was hesitant about what to do.

was about to lose a beloved general, Li Yi was even more upset, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Li Yi is still the same thing, Xuan Wei will stay for himself!" ”

Li Yi is benevolent and righteous, and his virtue is all over the world, and he praises the military and the people. And Dong Zhuo is perverse, doing all kinds of evil, doing everything, being despised by the world, and it is self-evident which is better and which is inferior. Loyal ministers do not care about the two masters, which is Hua Xiong's last psychological defense, and he repeatedly recited this wise saying in his heart to comfort his contradictory heart. Hua Xiong hesitated for a long time, and muttered softly: "Hua Xiong is not a person who likes the new and hates the old, I am afraid that he can only let the horse Guanxi." ”

Zhang Ying's heart was shocked when she heard this, her eyes rolled, and she smiled slightly: "General Hua, please relax, we are all trustworthy and righteous people, and tomorrow will let Xuan Wei find the old master again!" ”

After Hua Xiong heard Zhang Ying's words, he should have been happy, but somehow, his heart was infinitely sour. Hua Xiong was very conflicted in his heart, and he left slowly.

Seeing that Hua Xiong was walking away, Zhang Ying showed a look of dancing eyebrows, and she lowered her voice and said, "I have a plan to break the Hangu Pass!" ”

Li Yi jumped up when she heard this, Yu Bing was also very excited, her eyes widened, and she said with a trace of doubt: "Sister, what you said is true?" ”

"Zhang Ying's words are true! With the help of Huaxiong, breaking the letter valley pass is like exploring the bag to take things! Seeing Yu Bing looking at him with surprised eyes, Zhang Ying smiled slightly and said: "My brother has a promise, Huaxiong has to let go, but letting Huaxiong go is like a tiger returning to the mountain." In order to weaken Dong Zhuo and strengthen our Jianzhou army, Huaxiong must not be allowed to make the trip. I thought of a plan, using the release of Huaxiong back to the letter valley, not only to deceive Xiongguan, but also to make him lose his way and return to our account, my brother just need to sit and wait for the breakthrough and regain the loyal general! ”

When Li Yi heard the words, he couldn't wait to see it, Zhang Ying wanted to sell it, but when he saw Li Yi's anxious appearance, he had to explain the strategy and the plan. This plan is complicated, and every detail cannot be missed, Li Yi and Yu Bing nodded frequently, and the three of them acted separately after thinking about it.

Among the prisoners of war held by Li Yi, there was a Sima surnamed Duan Mingyan, this person was vivid, unstoppable, after a detailed investigation, it was learned that this person was Duan Xuan's younger brother. Relying on his brother to be Dong Zhuo's proud general, Duan Yan flew and trekked and ran rampant in the Xiliang army. After being captured, his bad habits were hard to change, exposing his evil face. The Jianzhou army treated prisoners preferentially, and Zhang Ying thought that this person would be of great use, so he connived at him to run amok. (To be continued.) )
