The scene of thousands of horses and thousands of troops is enough to make people's blood boil.

The red face and the battlefield, under the reflection of the slanting sun at the head of Xingyang City, are particularly eye-catching.

In Li Yuan's burly and sturdy body, what is hidden is a heart that will never admit defeat. This adventure finally survived.

Of course, he also has one person to thank.

The war drums of Ying Yushu when he was in Jian Jian and the strong combat effectiveness of the Li family's private soldiers were the key factors that forced Cao to join the army.

"The last general, Li Yuan, the captain of Sanchuan County, see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." Li Yuan bowed his body and bowed deeply to Ying Yushu.

"Captain Li doesn't need to be polite, if it weren't for Captain Li to come to the aid this time, this Xingyang would have fallen into the hands of the rebels." Ying Yushu said indifferently.

After the initial throbbing, Ying Yushu finally calmed down his mind, this Li Yuan in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar, familiar was his appearance, and unfamiliar was this person's inner temperament.

Is he still him?

Ying Yushu can't be sure.

"The eldest princess, before the last general entered the city, he had written a letter to Lord Yang Xiong, the county guard, I believe that at this time, Yang County Shou has led the soldiers of Luoyang to help, and Xingyang should be able to defend it." Li Yuan was full of confidence, after more than a month of reorganization, the combat effectiveness of the 5,000 soldiers in Luoyang has been basically restored, before setting off from Pingyin, Li Yuan has sent scouts to Luo Jia and Jiang Yu to inform them of their actions in Xingyang, and the task of Luo Jia and others is to lead the army to the area of Pingyin to contain the attack of Liu Bangjun.

There are 5,000 elite soldiers watching from the flank, and no matter how desperate Liu Bang wants to take Xingyang, he must also consider the possibility of the Qin army attacking back and forth at a critical moment.

"The name of Captain Li, this palace has admired it for a long time, and when Xingyang breaks the siege, I hope that Captain Li can go to Li's Mansion to talk about it, and this palace believes that Captain Li will feel an unexpected surprise." Ying Yu nodded lightly, and walked towards the Li family's guests who were resting under Cheng Heng, where she also had to thank these dead soldiers who were loyal to the Li family and sacrificed their lives for her orders.

Before meeting Li Yuan, Ying Yushu was really looking forward to the meeting, but after meeting Li Yuan, she found that she was facing a stranger.

The Li family, the person who could be entrusted did not appear, and she had to continue to bear this strenuous burden.

――。

Li Yuan watched the back of Ying Yushu leaving, but his mood was mixed.

The memory of the original owner buried deep in his heart is slowly recovering, Li Yuan, the third son of Li Si, the prime minister of Qin, but it is not recorded in the Fu book, his identity, except for the most intimate person of the Li family, no one else can find out, in public, he is the same as Li Bi, a domestic servant adopted by the Li family since childhood.

Different from Li Si's first two sons, Li Yuan's mother has a low status, just a good prostitute in the Shangcai area, Li Si after becoming the prime minister of Qin, attaches great importance to reputation and status, and is afraid that someone will make a fuss about his private virtues, so he has been hiding and not admitting Li Yuan's private son.

It can be said that in the first 20 years of Li Yuan, he was a sad little person with no identity and no status, and it was better not to have a powerful father, if it wasn't for Ying Yushu who saw ten-year-old Li Yuan on that farm and became suspicious, and sent people to send some wealth and silk from time to time, and took care of the slaves and maids, it was a question whether Li Yuan could live or not.

For Ying Yushu, the titular sister-in-law, Li Yuan is grateful from the bottom of his heart. No matter what the purpose was, at least she gave her love when the young Li Yuan needed warmth the most, and this was enough to make Li Yuan determined to protect this illustrious but unfortunate woman.

As for the Li family, whether it was Li Yuan in the previous life or Li Yuan in the later life, they have no good impression of this family that is soaked in utilitarianism and short-sightedness.

Cold and realistic, without a hint of emotion.

――。

Just when Li Yuan was busy training his troops in Chengheng and strengthening their combat readiness to prevent Liu Bang's army from attacking again, Sima Houxi came over with a slender and handsome young man.

"Captain, Chen Ping, a Yangwu man, asked to see him, saying that he had a strategy to retreat from the enemy." Hou Xi's face was happy, and today's battle Junyi's young and strong people contributed a lot, which made Hou Xi's reputation among the people soar.

Chen Ping? This name is so familiar, so that Li Yuan can't believe it, since the crossing, Li Yuan no longer has the luxury of accepting celebrities as younger brothers, Wang Shang, Gan Houbo, Hou Xi, Zhou Xing, Luo Jia These people are in the historical records, or have no name, or only leave a star and a half, as for those famous generals and good ministers in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, they are too far away from Li Yuan.

No strength, lack of prestige, this is Li Yuan's biggest shortcoming. And being in the camp of the Qin army made those who hated the Qin state, such as Zhang Liang, cast hostile eyes on Li Yuan.

"Ping came to relieve the captain's worries, why didn't the captain sweep the seats?" Without waiting for Li Yuan to say anything, Chen Ping stepped forward and bowed.

After witnessing Li Yuan's brave performance in the Battle of Xingyang, Chen Ping finally made up his mind that Li Yuan was a suitable object for him to defect to at this stage.

Wei Wangjiao has turned his face there, Zhao Wangxi has Zhang Er and Chen Yu there, Pei Gong Liu Bang also has Cao Shen, Xiao He, Li Shiqi and other talents under his hands, even Xiang Liang's nephew Xiang Yu also has Fan Zeng, a nest person, assisting, although there are many heroes in the world, but Chen Ping can't find a place where Chen Ping can go out of the ground.

The princes have a good name, how can those powerful big men reuse a person with the stigma of "stealing sisters-in-law and receiving money".

Only Li Yuan is not strong, and there are only a few talented people under him, especially almost no strategists. With Chen Ping's talent, if he defects, he only needs a little contribution to it, and he can be reused. Similarly, if Li Yuan was missed, Chen Ping would not be able to find anyone who could reuse him and trust him for a while.

"Chen Jun is a great talent, if Liu Bangjun can be evacuated within three days, he should have taken Mr. as a military advisor and participated in military and political affairs." Li Yuan was secretly happy in his heart, if the Chen Ping in front of him was really the one in history, it would be a double joy to go to Xingyang this time.

If the city is lost, it can be regained.

If the talent is missed, it is too late to regret it.

"Is this true?" Chen Ping's eyes lit up, and the essence of his eyes appeared. If what Li Yuan said was true, it would definitely be the result of Chen Ping's dream.

Under Li Yuan's command, there are more than five or more than a thousand troops, and there are two cities, compared with those big shili, although it is only a small prince, but Li Yuan is young, and his personal ability is also extremely outstanding, Chen Ping believes that with his resourcefulness and Li Yuan's bravery, he will definitely be able to make a different achievement in this troubled era.
