After observing the battlefield situation for a while, Li Xiong couldn't help but sigh: "It's me who underestimated the heroes of the world." I never thought that this little Yichang guard would be able to compete with our Dacheng Heavenly Soldiers for so long. ”

Fei Hun next to him shook his head: "Your Majesty, this Yichang City is not a small guard, his name is Yao Xin, and he is Yao Yu's younger brother." ”

Li Xiong sighed: "Yao Yu's own brother? ”

"Yes, when Yao Yu led his troops south, it was Yao Xin who led the troops to be stationed in Runan to ensure that Yao Yu's rear was not chaotic. Later, when Yao Yu captured Jingzhou, Yao Xin was transferred to Yidu. ”

"How's this man's abilities?"

"The ability is okay, and it can be regarded as the number one under Yao Yu. Moreover, because it is the identity of the clan, it is very trusted by Yao Yu. However, it is said that he is not too likable in terms of his way of dealing with the world, otherwise, Yao Yu would appoint him as the Taishou of Xiangyang. ”

Li Xiong nodded: "I see." ”

As he spoke, he sighed again: "Being able to defeat my brother and 20,000 strikers, this person's courage and ability are not bad, it seems that Yao Yu will be my great enemy in the future." ”

Next to him, Li Shi, the Chenghan Taibao, had a crimson face, and he was embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Fortunately, Li Xiong didn't say anything, but turned around and asked an old man next to him who was dressed like a fairy wind dao bone and a Taoist.

"Prime Minister, do you have any good way to take Yichang?"

The old man who was called the prime minister by Li Xiong was named Fan Changsheng and was now eighty-nine years old.

Decades ago, at that time, it was still a situation where the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were in full swing.

Ji Han, also known as Shu Han in later generations, moved 5,000 families to settle near Chengdu in order to reduce the rebellion in Nanzhong.

Fan Changsheng, who was originally from the indigenous wealthy family in Nanzhong, was also migrated to Chengdu at this time.

At that time, the Heavenly Master Sect was prevalent near Chengdu, and the common people were suffering from the war and joined the Heavenly Master Sect one after another in order to seek spiritual comfort.

Because Fan Changsheng had a wise root and ability, he was known as a prestige among the disciples at that time, so he was elected as the leader of the Heavenly Master Dao. Opened a sect in Qingcheng Mountain.

It can be said that Fan Changsheng witnessed the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the return of the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu to the Jin, and the rebellion of the Eight Kings.

After Li Xiong broke through Chengdu, he knew Fan Changsheng's prestige in Shu, so he intended to invite Fan Changsheng to come out of the mountain to help.

It's just that Fan Changsheng refused the invitation of Li Xiong, who was already king at that time.

Later, after Li Xiong was proclaimed emperor, Fan Changsheng became an official and was worshiped by Li Xiong as prime minister.

At this time, Fan Changsheng went out with the army, and when he heard Li Xiong's inquiry, he stroked his beard: "Your Majesty, take Yichang as soon as possible, otherwise, the forces in Yizhou will be empty, and if Zhang Yin of Hanzhong commands the troops south, Yizhou will be in danger." In the old man's opinion, His Majesty must not save his strength anymore. Strive to take Yichang in one go before the Jingzhou reinforcements arrive. And then follow the trend. Take Yidu. In this way, our purpose has been achieved. Even if Yao Yu leads the Jingzhou soldiers to counterattack at that time, we are in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Support will also be more timely. At that time, Jingzhou will become the food in our pot, and it is only a matter of time before we eat it. ”

Li Xiong listened to Fan Changsheng's words, and thought so, so he immediately arranged to mobilize all the troops and prepare to attack the city.

Just like Fan Changsheng said, at the beginning, he didn't press all the troops in one go.

In order to worry that it would be too late to rest after taking Yichang, Jingzhou's reinforcements arrived.

Thinking about it now, Yao Xin is so able to defend and continue to consume it like this, it will be an irreparable blow to the morale of his subordinates.

Even if Yichang can be taken at a small price, then, the army whose morale has been depleted is no match for the Jingzhou army.

Realizing this, Li Xiong became even more determined in his inner thoughts.

When Li Xiong pressed all the troops up, Yao Xin on the city wall suddenly felt the great pressure.

He had no choice but to stay at the head of the city without daring to leave for a moment, fighting against Li Xiong's troops.

But even so, there was a danger that the walls would be breached.

···

In the Yangtze River Water Village, Li Li listened to the report made by his subordinates, and his face was full of suspicions.

Li Li is not a descendant of the Cheng Han royal family, he was originally the son of Li Han, the commander of the Western Jin Dynasty. Li Xiong's uncle Li Liu's nephew.

In the early days of Li Xiong's army, Li Li had a lot of help, so after Li Xiong was proclaimed emperor, Li Li was worshiped as a captain.

It's a pity that Li Li's ability is not very strong, and like Li Xiong's brother Li Shi, he was attacked by Yao Xin at night and was defeated.

For the sake of Li Li's face of helping the army, Li Xiong didn't blame him much.

Instead, he continued to let him command 20,000 soldiers and horses, block the Yangtze River, and intercept the soldiers and horses supported by Yong.

Li Li has done a good job, these days, Yongji has not broken through a step.

It's just that what makes Li Li strange is that about two days ago, Yong Ji didn't attack anymore as if he had given up.

Not only that, but on the river, you can't even see even a single soldier under Yongji's command.

In this case, Li Li couldn't help but feel more worried.

After the defeat in the previous battle of Yichang, Li Li clearly knew that these people under Yao Yu were more traitorous than one another.

Now that Yongji has not moved, it is inevitable that Li Li will think about it more.

No, he sent a large number of meticulous workers to investigate the situation, but the result was that Yong Zhi hung up the battle free card.

This made Li Li confused, what's the situation, you are here to support, not to defend, you have been hanging the free battle card, can I retreat without a fight?

Just kidding, isn't it?

Although Yong is not out, it is good news for Li Li, at least there is no need to fight with Yong.

But it has always been like this, and Li Li is also drumming in his heart.

Who knows if Yongji is playing some tricks.

Just when Li Li was puzzled, he sent out the detailed work to rush back to report.

It is said that in the area of Yishan Ma'anshan, enemy troops were discovered.

The enemy waved the Yao and Yongzi banners. He was traveling through two mountains, intending to cross his own army.

Hearing the news, Li Li was taken aback and hurriedly checked the situation on the map.

Ma'anshan is located in the rear of Yichang, and if the Yongzheng army appears from here, then His Majesty, who is besieging Yichang, will be in danger.

Immediately, Li Li didn't care about much, and ordered the whole army to go into the mountains to chase and kill.

Before the order was issued, he was stopped by the general: "Lord Taiwei, the location of Yong Yao Bao is still not clear, and it cannot be judged that they are going to sneak attack His Majesty's rear because their banner is there." In the opinion of the last general, it is better to send someone to Yongji Water Village to inquire about the situation. Wait until you find out what is true and false. Otherwise, Your Majesty will blame you..."

The general's words were not finished, but the meaning was already obvious.

Li Li also suddenly realized, and patted his brain: "Look at my head, I'm confused." ”
