Chapter 621: Please Return
"Brother Li!"
"Brother Li!"
In the city of Chengdu, Shu County, when he saw Li You standing in front of him alive, Ren Huan was overjoyed.
He took the initiative to ask for orders to conquer Southwest Yi this time, wasn't it just to save Li You.
Now that Li You has returned alive, it is equivalent to that the purpose of Ren Huan's trip has been completed, and the big stone hanging on his heart has fallen to the ground, how can he not like it in his heart.
Compared with Ren Huan's joy, Li You had a cold face.
He and Gongao and the others came out of the southernmost woods of Ba County.
Later generations said that Bashan Chushui was desolate.
Ba County has always been famous for its many mountains, although Li You took people out of the forest and came to the small village on the border of Ba County. But it's still surrounded by mountains. They found a guide from a nearby village and wandered around for a long time before leaving the mountain.
Under the traffic conditions of this era, a long time had passed when they arrived in Jiangzhou, the seat of Ba County.
Although he was defeated, Li You's belief was not defeated, but he was full of fighting spirit, feeling that the next time he led troops to the Dian Kingdom, he would never fall for those southwestern Yi people again, and he would definitely be able to kill them without leaving a piece of armor, and the blood was rolling down, and he would revenge this great revenge.
As a result, when they came to Jiangzhou City, they were shocked to hear that the emperor had ordered Ren Huan to lead the soldiers and horses of the three counties to conquer the southwest Yi.
Li You was shocked, because in his calculations, even if the news of this defeat came back to Xianyang, and the emperor wanted to take revenge and conquer the southwest again, it would have to take a while.
As long as he rushes back in time, writes to the emperor to ask for revenge, and asks for revenge like Meng Ming did when he looked at the revenge of Fukun Mountain, and then inform his father of the court captain to help intercede, Li You is still very likely to lead the army again.
After all, he fought in the southwest for a year, and the results were quite fruitful, and the geographical situation here was difficult to compare with the generals of the DPRK and China.
Wherever Li You falls, he has to get up from.
But he didn't expect the emperor to be revengeful, and it was only a long time before he sent a general to reconquer the southwest Yi, which caught him off guard.
The emperor changed the general again to attack the southwest Yi, so what should he do?
Li You was so anxious that he hurriedly rode the horses provided by Ba County and quickly rushed to Chengdu County, the county of Shu County, through the official road, and happened to meet Ren Huan, who had just arrived here.
Seeing Ren Huan's appearance of being draped all over his body and wearing the general's armor, the last luck in Li You's heart was gone.
He gritted his teeth and stared at Ren Huan and said, "General Ren, the emperor ordered you to ...... Conquering the Southwest Yi? ”
Ren Huan's attitude towards Li You was very good, and he laughed: "Yes, I heard that Brother Li was plotted by those Yi people in the southwest, and his whereabouts are unknown, and many people say that Brother Li was captured by those Yi people." I was very worried, so I immediately asked for my life, came to fight against the barbarians, and thought about saving Brother Li. I didn't expect that before I fought, Brother Li came back by himself, Brother Li is really lucky. ”
Li You felt dizzy.
No wonder the emperor returned to the southwest so soon, it turned out that he was arrogant and asked for his life.
And let Ren Huan say that he actually asked for his life because he was worried about his own safety.
What is this?
Li Youqi's teeth itched.
Fortunately, he was a noble child after all, no matter how angry he was in his heart, he still maintained his demeanor in his mouth, and said politely: "Thank you General Ren for your concern." ”
"Hahaha, everyone is a good brother, this is how it should be. Before I left, Ting Wei specifically instructed me to find Brother Li. ”
"It's best for Brother Li to return safely now, and I have to explain it to Tingwei. By the way, what is General Ren, you and I are called brothers, so you don't have to be so polite. ”
Ren Huan was full of smiles, and asked people to go down to prepare drinks for Li You, and wanted to wash the dust for him.
But Li You couldn't drink at this time, he thought about the war in the southwest, and asked urgently: "I mistakenly fell into the tricks of those Yiren, and was attacked by their deception, and then I suffered a big defeat." Those Yi people are extremely cunning, I don't know what Brother Ren plans to lead the soldiers and horses of the three counties to conquer these barbarians? ”
Ren Huan groaned: "This matter is not urgent for the time being. When I came, the Marquis of Wugong once instructed me that the art of war said that knowing oneself and knowing that the other side could not be defeated in a hundred battles, let me not enter the army without authorization, and first send people to find out the situation of those Yiren. I'll train in Shu County first, and then make the next step when the information is in hand. ”
"Martial Arts Hou?"
Li You blinked, and asked a little confused: "Who is this, when did there be an additional martial artist in the court?" ”
Ren Huan explained with a smile: "It's General Zhao Tuo, he won a great victory against the Hu people in the northwest, broke the three Yueshi, exterminated the Huns, killed the Huns Shan Yu, and made great contributions. ”
Zhao Tuo...... Kill the Huns Shan Yu ...... Named the Marquis of Martial Arts...... 6,000 households......"
Li You repeated these words in his mouth.
In an instant, he felt that the world was spinning, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Gong Ao, who had been following his cronies, was quick and immediately reached out to support Li You.
Gong Ao said softly: "County Lieutenant? ”
Ren Huan also asked with concern: "Brother Li, what's wrong with you, are you too tired, why don't you go down and rest for a while." ”
"I'm fine."
Li You waved his hand and forcibly expelled the matter of martial arts marquis Zhao Tuo from his head.
He stared at Ren Huan with red eyes, and said, "Brother Ren, you have been planning for too long, and it will take a long time to find out the information of the Yi people." Although I was defeated by them with treacherous tricks before, but before leaving, I set a big fire, which hit those Yi people a lot, in my opinion, it is better to immediately lead the troops to attack, hit those Yi people by surprise, and directly take down the Dian Kingdom! ”
"I have been fighting here for a year, and the terrain in the southwest is the most familiar, so I should lead the way for Brother Ren, attack the Dian Kingdom, and avenge the shame of Daqin!"
Li You's words are categorical.
The emperor has ordered Ren Huan to lead the army, since it can't be changed, then accept it, and most importantly, he Li You must take revenge!
And after following Ren Huan to defeat the Southwest Yi, maybe he can still make the merit for the crime!
Li You's mentality is still good.
But unexpectedly, after his words of "leading the way for Brother Ren" came out, everyone changed color.
"No!"
The faces of several of the generals' aides turned blue.
Ren Huan's own eyelids jumped violently, and shouted: "Brother Li, don't!" ”
Li You was stunned and said, "Brother Ren doesn't worry about me? ”
He explained: "Brother Ren's rest assured is that I have been fighting in the southwest for more than a year, and I have left my footprints everywhere, and the mountains and forests on both sides of the road along the way have been burned clean by me, and I will lead the way, and there will be no problems." I will never rob Brother Ren for the credit of breaking the Southwest Yi, I just want revenge! ”
Ren Huan shook his head and said: "What did Brother Li say, it's just that before I came, Tingwei said that after finding Brother Li, I would ask Brother Li to return to Xianyang as soon as possible, and don't stay in the southwest for a long time, and the emperor must be waiting for Brother Li's news." ”
"As for the matter of conquering the Southwest Yi, I should discuss with a few county lieutenants before deciding on tactics, I don't know how long it will take, Brother Li doesn't have to wait here for a long time, let's go back to Xianyang first."
Ren Huan looked at Li You in front of him, and felt a little worried.
Although he was grateful for Li You's friendship back then, he was also willing to ask for his life to recruit Southwest Yi to rescue Li You.
But Ren Huan himself is absolutely unwilling to fight with Li You.
It's not just him, I'm afraid that in the entire Great Qin now, few generals dare to team up with Li You.
The name of "Shuqi County Captain" has been fermented and circulated for a period of time, and after various additives, it has become very scary.
Some people even said in private that the first battle of Chu that year was because Li You was in the army, which defeated Li Xin and Meng Wu, and caused these two victorious generals to suffer a heavy defeat.
The second battle of Chu, thanks to the old general Wang Jian in town, this can barely be carried out, Rao is so, or Li You made a Rushui defeat, which cast a stain on the credit book of the victory.
Li is terrifying and terrifying.
Even Wang Jian was barely pressed.
If you are replaced by other generals to be the commander, maybe you will have to be defeated by Li Youcheng!
Although these rumors are exaggerated, it is better to believe them!
Who would dare to bet?
Who dares!
The Shu County Shou, who had just walked into the house, was also frightened when he heard Li You's words.
He risked offending Li You and said: "Brother Li should go back to Xianyang, after the defeat in the southwest, Jinshang has been appointed as a new county lieutenant, and Brother Li is now dismissed, so he should immediately return to Xianyang to pay attention to today, and if he stays here for a long time, I am afraid that he will leave a disaster." ”
Li You bit his lip.
He was removed from his post as county lieutenant.
This is normal, after all, Ren Huan led the soldiers and horses of the three counties to conquer the southwest Yi, of which Shu County is the core, and the post of county lieutenant is naturally impossible to vacancy.
Not to mention that he fought that defeat, how could he still be retained.
Li You said a little unwillingly: "If I leave, Brother Ren, no one here will be familiar with the mountains and rivers in the southwest." ”
As soon as these words came out, a person behind Li You stood up and said loudly: "County Lieutenant, please rest assured to return, don't let Ting Lieutenant worry in Xianyang." The last general will fight in the southwest with the county lieutenant, and the geographical situation and the distribution of Yi people here have long been familiar in his heart, so he should lead the way for General Ren and avenge my Great Qin! ”
Li You looked back in amazement, and saw that it was his cronie Gong Ao who was impassioned, and now he was the Sima of Shu County.
Gongao followed him to fight in Southwest Yi for more than a year, and he was really proficient in the geography here, and even because he was the executor, he was much more familiar with the terrain than Li You, the leader.
"With Gongma here, Brother Li should return with peace of mind."
The Shu County Shou immediately spoke.
Seeing this, Ren Huan also said: "Yes, yes, since this Gongma also knows the geographical situation here, Brother Li doesn't have to worry, we will wipe out the people and avenge Brother Li." ”
Li You looked at Gong Ao in a daze.
Gong Ao stiffened his head and did not say anything.
He was very grateful to Li You for his kindness, so he followed Li You to conquer Chu and attack the Nanjun Yi until this time he came to conquer the Southwest Yi.
But every time there was a battle, nothing good came of it.
In the conquest of Chudi, Li You fought against the water, but was defeated.
Attacking the Nanjun Yi people, the first wave was also beaten by those Yi people who lost their armor and abandoned their armor, although they finally won by fire, but the process is really not easy to say.
As for this attack on Southwest Yi, the result was also a heavy defeat.
Gongao had long heard the rumors of "strange numbers" that circulated in the army.
Originally, he didn't believe it, but later he believed it a little, but in order to repay the favor, he chose to carry it.
Until now, Gongao can't bear it.
No one likes to lose battles, and no one wants to be a loser who is ridiculed all the time.
Gong Ao looked at Li You, and his originally cowardly eyes became firm.
County Lieutenant, go back to Xianyang.
Don't fight anymore.
Good for you, good for everyone.
Feeling Gong Ao's gaze, his ears echoed with the persuasion of Shu County Shou and Ren Huan.
Li You sighed, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Ren and the county guard are right, I should go back to Xianyang, and here, I will hand it over to you." ”
Hearing this, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
Li You turned around and walked towards the door lonely.
"Brother Li."
Ren shouted in the back.
"County Lieutenant."
Gong Ao also spoke.
Li You ignored them and walked straight outside.
The sun was about to set, and the sky was dyed a fiery red.
In Li You's opinion.
It was as if someone had set fire to the sky.
If only he could unleash this heavenly flame and burn all his enemies to ashes in one fell swoop.
Li You raised his head, speechless, and looked up at the sky.
"Odd Numbers...... Odd ......"
The next day, a carriage left Chengdu in Shu County and embarked on the road to Xianyang.
