Chang'an is good

The days are shorter in winter, and the sky is gloomy on this day, and it gets dark earlier.

The [-] infantry behind him traveled day and night and couldn't keep up. Li Yi, who was in a hurry to leave Shouzhou, only brought [-] forwards. At this time, he didn't dare to rush at night for fear of being ambushed by gangsters, so he ordered to set up camp in place rest.

Li Yi was still restless.

An aide comforted him: "The coach is calm and calm, and the army will be able to keep up tomorrow."

Another person also said: "After another four days, you will be able to join the [-] troops in front, and you will be able to reach Yangzhou in a short time."

Previously, Chang Kuo ordered [-] troops to support Hezhou, but except for the [-] former troops taken away by Chang Kuo, the remaining [-] troops were all instructed by Li Yi to "take the opportunity to attack" Yangzhou.

Naturally, the [-] troops had never really fought against Xu's rebellious army. At this time, they were camping two hundred miles away from Yangzhou to "wait and see".

The leading lieutenant, Yu Zai, was Li Yi's confidant, and he knew that Li Yi was on his way to Yangzhou, and he just waited to meet Li Yi.

The aide said: "At that time, the two divisions will meet up, and the commander will have an army of 14. Then he can have a good discussion with Xu Zhengye about the conditions of cooperation."

Although this vision for the near future is exciting, Li Yi's mind is full of Chang Kuo meeting to kill him at the moment, and he has no time to think about other things.

He simply ordered: "...Send a message to Yu Zai, telling him not to just wait around, and quickly come to meet me with the army, just in case!"

Since it is only a four-day journey, if he goes forward and Yu Zai comes to meet him, then it only takes two days to meet and rendezvous-after all, going in two directions is the fastest.

The staff thought about it, but felt that this two-way rush was not too necessary, it was useless, and it was a waste of manpower and material resources, so they persuaded: "If Vice General Yu and the others want to break out of the camp to meet them, they need to prepare a lot, and it will be a waste of money. Sending a letter also takes time, and I'm afraid it won't be much faster before and after."

"Who told them to leave the camp? In this way, tell Yu Zai to come with a light horse, and the rest will stay in the camp!" Li Yi insisted on letting Yu Zai come to meet him. Yu Zai is his most trusted confidant , followed him for many years, and was loyal to him.

At first, he reluctantly let Yu Zai lead the army to go out in order to prevent the [-] troops from being subject to his military orders.

When people are in fear and anxiety, they always want to have someone they trust by their side.

It was an urgent intuition deep in Li Yi's heart that he wanted Yu Zai to help him, and after a while, he would find that his intuition was correct at this time - it was just too late.

The staff couldn't resist him, so they obeyed and ordered them to send a letter to Yu Zai overnight.

Li Yi paced back and forth in the tent, asking his staff if the army behind him could catch up tomorrow, and then asking Yu Zai where he could be picked up the soonest.

He calculated and calculated, asked and asked, and his heart was always uneasy, until a secret letter was sent to his camp.

It is a secret letter from Chuzhou.

After showing the letter, Li Yi was overjoyed, only to feel that the sharp sword hanging above his head suddenly disappeared.

"...Chang Kuo is finally dead!" He said with great surprise.

Died in Chuzhou!
Xu Zhengye said that he would help him reach Yangzhou smoothly, so people set up an ambush to stop and kill Chang Kuo along the way. Wei Jun, the governor of Chuzhou, was from Xu Zhengye, and Xu Zhengye had already told him this in his letter.

Na Wei Jun also sent someone to send a letter to him, and exchanged news with each other, which can be regarded as meeting each other in the letter.

The two staff members rushed to read the letter upon hearing this.

"That's great!" Li Yi felt that the happiness came too suddenly, and he was a little bit afraid: "He really wanted to kill me, but he led his army to Chuzhou..."

Chuzhou is only two days away from where he is now!

Fortunately, Wei Jun was reliable in his work, so Chang Kuo died in Chuzhou!

Thinking about it now, Chang Kuo only has a few wounded soldiers and generals around him now, what kind of situation can he become?It was because he had always been too afraid of the other party that he was so uneasy and regarded the other party as a serious problem.

But no matter what, when a person dies, everything will be fine!
"The Wei Governor's letter also said that he learned that the coach has only [-] strikers to protect him, and he is willing to lead the Chuzhou army to escort the coach to Yangzhou. He is already on his way..." An aide looked at the letter and said doubtfully: "Is this also Xu Zhengye's arrangement?"

"Not necessarily." Li Yi laughed "ha": "What is escorting me, I think he clearly wants me to escort him to Yangzhou—"

"My 14 troops are about to meet up, and I still need the Chuzhou Army to escort them?" Li Yi said: "If he killed Chang Kuo, it was equivalent to tearing apart his face with the imperial court. After this matter was revealed, he naturally couldn't deal with it alone."

His analysis is clear and logical, which is in line with the current situation and human nature: "So he is going to Yangzhou to ask for credit from Xu Zhengye, and he is just seeking asylum along the way!"

"Didn't it say in the letter? He will come with Chang Kuo's head!"

What is this if it’s not asking for credit?
Out of caution, the two staff took out Wei Jun's letter from last time, carefully compared the handwriting and seal, and found nothing unusual.

Li Yi no longer had any doubts, felt at ease, and even asked people to prepare wine to celebrate.

When raising the wine glass, the staff did not forget to ask: "Since that's the case...in the commander's opinion, should the letter sent to Vice General Yu be sent back just now?"

"No need." Li Yi said: "Let him come, be prepared."

Without Chang Kuo, there will still be other threats. He has heard that the imperial court has already arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and there will be actions in the near future.

But this did not hinder Li Yi's good mood at the moment. In his opinion, no one would be more difficult to deal with than Chang Kuo. Chang Kuo was dead, so was he still afraid of a mere imperial envoy?

The tension and anxiety all the way was relieved at this moment, and Li Yi drank to his heart's content.

The staff advised him not to drink too much, but he listened to the advice and did not let himself get drunk.

But under the influence of alcohol, he fell asleep very soundly, and when he opened his eyes the next day, it was almost noon.

Without the threat of Chang Kuo, Li Yi no longer panicked at this time. With the advice of his staff, he decided to wait for the [-] troops from behind to arrive before going on the road together, which is safer.

When it was getting late, Li Yi really waited for the news that the army had arrived.

In order to catch up with him, the army had been traveling from Shouzhou for many days and was exhausted, but Li Yi rested here for a whole day and night, but now he was full of energy. Therefore, the army only rested for an hour in place, and then continued to drive overnight.

So at noon the next day, when the soldiers and horses were resting and eating, a scout suddenly came to report that they had found the Chuzhou army from the right.

Li Yi's staff asked sternly: "It's really the Chuzhou army? Have you checked it out?"

The soldier nodded: "It is true that they came from Chuzhou. The military flag and uniform cannot be faked. It is indeed a sergeant from Chuzhou. The leader is wearing the official uniform of the governor."

Li Yi said: "In that case, let's wait for them here for a while."

He has no interest in the Chuzhou army, and at the moment he doesn't pay much attention to the governor Wei who has never met before, but he obviously wants to see Chang Kuo's head with his own eyes.

The army took the opportunity to rest here, and after waiting for more than an hour, they saw the Chuzhou army rushing over.

Li Yi then got out of the carriage, and accompanied by two staff members, went to the front of the army to meet the governor of Chuzhou.

"My next official is Chuzhou Inspector Wei Jun, I have seen General Li!" The middle-aged man in the Inspector's official robe saluted Li Yi.

Li Yi glanced at him, nodded, and quickly shifted his gaze to the box held in the hands of the soldier beside him.

The middle-aged man understood, and hurriedly said: "This is my first visit, I have specially prepared a small gift, and I invite General Li to take a look at it..."

With that said, he personally took the heavy box and walked towards Li Yi.

But when he was about to approach Li Yi, he was stopped by an aide who raised his hand.

The staff member said with a smile: "It's better to let someone watch it first—"

The middle-aged man is kind-hearted: "Please."

The staff carefully looked at the box twice before raising their hands to open it.

At this moment, Li Yi is surrounded by his confidantes, so there is no need to worry that the appearance of Chang Kuo's head here will cause turmoil in the army.

After all, it was impossible for Li Yi to spread the news of Chang Kuo's death in such a way at this time.

Just check it out.

When the box was opened, it was indeed a dead head.

However, the staff's eyes changed, and they immediately raised their eyes to look at the "Chuzhou Governor" who was holding the box: "Wei Governor must have admitted the wrong person!"

Hearing this, Li Yi immediately took a step forward, but also frowned.

Although he didn't know who this leader was, it wasn't Chang Kuo at all!
What does the governor of Chuzhou mean?Did he kill the wrong person?What about Chang Kuo?escaped? !
Li Yi had already sensed that something was wrong, and the staff beside him pointed directly at the "Chuzhou Inspector" and said, "Take this person down!"

I'm afraid there is a fraud in it!

The staff member was very alert and decisive, and slightly modified the description. Deputy General Jin, who was pretending to be Wei Jun, cursed "bad luck" in his heart, and immediately threw the box at Li Yi, and at the same time drew out the long knife under the cloak.

The girl said that it would be great if she could take the opportunity to catch Li Yi first!
But the girl also said that if the situation is not good, you don't have to force it, and you have to protect yourself first.

In order to check the head of "Chang Kuo", Li Yi only had dozens of confidantes around him, and the other soldiers were guarding ten paces away. Fighting back.

Not far away, Chang Suining, who was dressed in the Chuzhou military uniform, saw this and immediately led his men to rescue them.

Li Yi was protected and hid in the back, while angrily ordered: "...these people are the accomplices of Xu's rebels, kill them quickly!"

The deputy generals and lieutenants in the army couldn't react immediately when they heard the words.

Why did it suddenly start?

Isn't it Chuzhou Army?How did you become an accomplice of the anti-thieves?
However, when the military order was issued, the army that was still resting immediately rose up on alert, picked up their weapons and rushed forward in a line.

But suddenly he heard a loud shout from the opponent's army: "General Chang is here! Are you going to attack the next and kill the deputy commander!"

General Chang? !
When everyone was surprised, they saw that the opponent's army was walking to the front of the formation, one man and one horse, with a burly figure and majestic eyebrows and eyes, no doubt it was Chang Kuo!

"It's the deputy commander!"

"Vice Marshal Chang is back!"

There will be more updates later!
