Jiangzhou Assembly Hall
"Now that Hanzhong is under attack by the rebel army, the situation is critical. General Li, please send reinforcements as soon as possible.”Deng Zhi said to the general standing at the head of the meeting hall.
This was Li Yan, who was also an important minister entrusted to Zhuge Liang.
Li Yan, later renamed Li Ping, word square, Nanyang people. During the Three Kingdoms period, he was an important minister of Shu Han. He was also a minister who entrusted Liu Bei to his father before he died.
Li Yan was once famous for his talent in Nanyang County, and later served in various counties under Liu Biao's rule. When Cao Cao entered Jingzhou, Li Yan fled west to Shu and joined Liu Zhang. In the 18th year of Jian 'an, Liu Bei attacked Mianzhu. Liu Zhang appointed him as a guard to defend against Liu Bei near Mianzhu. Later, Li Yan led his troops to surrender and was appointed as a deputy general by Liu Bei. After Chengdu was pacified, Li Yan was appointed prefect of Qianwei and general of Xingye.
In 222 AD, Liu Bei returned from the defeat of Wu and recruited Li Yan into Yong 'an Palace, appointing him as Shangshu Ling. In 223 AD, Liu Bei was seriously ill. Li Yan and Zhuge Liang were ordered to assist Liu Chan. Li Yan was appointed as the middle governor, in charge of the internal and external military, leaving behind to guard Yong 'an. In 223 AD, he was granted the title of Duxiang Marquis, false festival, and Guangluxun.
In 226 AD, Zhuge Liang was in Hanzhong, preparing to send troops to attack Wei. He wanted to transfer Li Yan to guard Hanzhong, but Li Yan tried his best to refuse. He asked to divide five prefectures into Bazhou and let him be the governor of Bazhou. Zhuge Liang did not agree. Before this, he had advised Zhuge Liang to accept the nine tin and encouraged Zhuge Liang to become a king, but Zhuge Liang refuted him. From then on, the two of them were at loggerheads and gradually separated.
Before Li Yan's fellow countryman, Chen Zhen, was sent to Dongwu, he told Zhuge Liang in private," Li Zhengfang has scales in his belly ", hinting that Li Yan had evil intentions and might cause trouble. Zhuge Liang believed that he and Li Yan could still tolerate each other and work together for the country.
From this, it could be seen that although Li Yan was very talented, his desire for power was too strong. He wanted to seek a higher status for himself no matter what.
"I understand…but we shouldn't relax our defenses on the East Wu side.”
Li Yan appeared to be in a difficult position. In short, he was unwilling to send troops.
"Our side has already acknowledged Sun Quan's throne, and now that Sun Quan has moved the capital to Jianye, the pressure on the eastern front should be much less. I'm an expert in Dongwu. Please don't use this excuse.”Deng Zhi frowned deeply and said in dissatisfaction.
" It's just an order from the Prime Minister, and you want me to send troops…" Li Yan looked at the Prime Minister's order and suppressed his dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang.
"The Prime Minister has a letter for you to read.”Deng Zhi took out a letter and handed it to Li Yan.
"Oh…let me see. Appoint me as the general of the hussars and Feng 'er as the commander of Jiang Prefecture? Good, good, good. At this time, he finally recognized that we were not masters and subordinates, but equals. He then led 20,000 reinforcements to Hanzhong, Yong 'an Governor Shuzhi also followed.”
After reading this letter, Li Yan was in a good mood. He immediately laughed and prepared to send troops.
"Yes, sir!" The general standing at the side replied in a deep voice.
This was Chen Dao, also known as Shu Zhi, from Runan, Yuzhou. During the Three Kingdoms period, he was a general of Shu Han and the commander of the White Pao Army under Liu Bei. His reputation was often second to Zhao Yun's and he was famous for his loyalty and bravery. During the reign of Emperor Jianxing of Shu Han Dynasty, he served as General of the Western Expedition, Governor of Yong 'an and Marquis of Ting. He died in office.
"Hahaha, Zhuge Liang, in the end, you're still begging me.”Li Yan laughed and walked out of the meeting hall.
"Li Yan still couldn't pass the test. I thought that he was just blinded by greed, but I didn't expect it to be this serious. Does Uncle know what to do?" Deng Zhi looked at Chen Dao.
"Li Yan, this troublemaker, should be eradicated sooner or later. I'm like a sharp blade that can be used against outsiders and my own people.”Chen Dao nodded and replied with a serious expression.
Looking at Chen Dao, Deng Zhi couldn't help but secretly nod." Chen Shuzhi is indeed brave and outstanding. He's indeed worthy of being called someone on par with General Zhao.”
Baoxie Valley Entrance
Tian Yang privately went to find Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang." I have a plan to fight this war that requires your help.”
"General, please instruct us. We brothers will go through fire and water without hesitation.”Zhao Tong said very straightforwardly.
"I have the same idea as my brother. " But…" Zhao Guang hesitated as if he was wondering if he should say it.
"But what?" Tian Yang could not help but feel puzzled.
" I'm fine…" Zhao Guang shook his head after much thought. However, Tian Yang could see the hesitation in Zhao Guang's eyes.
"Sigh…Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you so timid?”Zhao Tong was helpless about his younger brother's personality. His father and mother clearly did not have such a personality, so why did his younger brother have to be like this?
"Big brother, it's really nothing." Zhao Guang shook his head, unwilling to tell her.
Tian Yang frowned slightly and said," Then please act according to plan."”
After Tian Yang finished speaking, Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang nodded and planned to carry out the plan.
Just as Zhao Guang was about to leave, Tian Yang stopped him." Please wait, General Zhao Guang." From the moment I touched you, I felt that you were full of confusion. It was dangerous to enter the battlefield with confusion.”
" It's not that important…" Zhao Guang shook his head.
"That won't do!" Tian Yang knew how dangerous it was to enter the battlefield with confusion." Do you think that you can't compare to your elder brother?”
"…" Zhao Guang remained silent. It seemed like he had agreed.
"You're different from your big brother. You don't need to fight on the battlefield like General Zilong. If I'm not wrong, you might be more suitable to develop into an advisor. Didn't you want to give me some suggestions just now?”Tian Yang smiled faintly.
"I can't compare to big brother in martial arts. Big brother is getting closer and closer to father.”Zhao Guang said with shame.
"How can there be such a thing? Everyone has their own characteristics. You don't have to be like General Zilong.”
"Then…would you like to hear my battle plan?”
Zhao Guang asked. Then, Tian Yang nodded, indicating that he could continue.
Slowly, Zhao Guang told Tian Yang about his plan, and Tian Yang couldn't help but praise him.
"Not a bad plan, let's do it.”
Tian Yang nodded and thought to himself,'Although I still don't seem confident, it's enough as long as I gradually develop in a good direction.”
Chang Bai Army Camp
"This time, in order to defeat that Cao thief, Wu Ban will be at Tianyang's beck and call.”Wu Ban cupped his hands and smiled at Tian Yang.
"With the help of a brave general like General Wu, our chances of winning can be said to have greatly increased.”Tian Yang said.
However, Black Light and the others only glanced at Wu Ban before turning their heads to the other side. In their opinion, only those who had reached a certain level of strength were enough for them to pay attention to.
"Let's end the pleasantries here. We can't win this war by ourselves.”Ning Sui interrupted.
" Youchang!?" Wu Ban turned his head and immediately thought that the person in front of him was Ma Su.
Although Ma Su changed his name and followed Tian Yang, his appearance did not change. After all, the ancients believed that the body, hair, and skin were influenced by their parents, and even hair was highly valued. Therefore, anyone who knew Ma Su could see his appearance.
"General Wu, you are mistaken. I am Ning Sui, a staff officer under Chang Bai Army.”Ning Sui replied indifferently.
"I understand. I'm really sorry for the mistake.”Wu Ban immediately replied apologetically.
Although the person in front of him looked like Ma Su, there was no point in pursuing this question.
"The Prime Minister wants us to fight against Guo Huai's army with such a small number of troops just to slow down their speed. Fortunately, the terrain near Hanzhong is rugged, so we can rely on the terrain to fight.”Ning Sui analyzed.
"I think so too. If they fought head-on with the enemy, it might cause huge casualties. Even if they won, they would be filled with regret. Therefore, I have already sent the two Zhao Generals to carry out the necessary preparations. I only hope that the plan will go smoothly.”Tian Yang nodded.
"Hmph, I was still confident. I don't have much confidence when I see this Eastern State person.”Goufu looked at Wu Ban coldly. Ever since Wu Ban appeared in the Chang Bai Army, Goufu's expression had been like this.
Hei Guang and the rest immediately frowned. It seemed like there was some grudge between Gou Fu and Wu Ban.
"You're Goufu? I remember that during the Battle of Yiling, you protected the emperor bravely and won the praise of the former emperor, right?”Wu Ban asked in surprise.
"Praise? I'm afraid that's just to cover up your mistakes. Thanks to you, I'm the only survivor of the entire team.”Goufu sneered.
"..." Wu Ban fell silent.
"What's going on?" Tian Yang frowned and asked.
The battle with the enemy was about to begin, and Tian Yang did not wish for any mistakes to occur midway because of some personal grudges.
"Although Xiao Ju made a great contribution in the Battle of Yiling, his troops were also wiped out.”
Liu Yin also looked at Wu Ban coldly and said indifferently.
"What caused my entire army to be wiped out was a wrong piece of information, and the source of the information was Wu Ban's troops. You caused the death of my partner, even Chancellor Cheng. However, you didn't do anything and even became a high-ranking official. Is there any justice in this? Is it because you are a relative of the royal family?”Gou Fu said angrily.
Ning Sui frowned slightly as he watched the scene before him. He thought to himself, General Wu Ban is the younger brother of General Wu Yi, and Wu Yi's sister is the former emperor's empress. The former emperor's attitude towards Liu Zhang's old subordinates could be seen clearly from this.”
Hei Guang had a cold smile on his face. This was the so-called politics.
"..." Wu Ban remained silent. At this time, it was useless to explain anything.
"Say something! I want to see how a murderer like you can defend yourself.”Seeing that the other party did not speak, the anger in Gou Fu's heart burned even more.
"Hey! Why are you still fighting amongst yourselves? Sometimes, I really don't understand what you Han people are thinking.”
Yang Lan said impatiently, causing Hei Guang to take another look at her.
It was true that those who were involved were confused, but those who were not. At this time, internal strife was undoubtedly courting death. Now, the more important thing was to resolve the crisis in front of them. After the crisis, they could settle scores with whoever they wanted.
"I'm really sorry for causing you trouble.”Wu Ban apologized to Tian Yang and the others.
"I think we should wait until after this battle.”Tian Yang pretended to be calm as he spoke, but he felt helpless in his heart." Yang Lan is right. If it were me, it would be very difficult to say anything to General Wu Ban.”
"Hmph, you'd better not walk in front of me, Teacher Wu!”Upon hearing Tian Yang's words, Gou Fu only said this and did not pursue the matter any further.
Suddenly, Liu Yin seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Tian Yang and said," Boss, I think you probably still don't understand what people from the Eastern State are.”
Tian Yang was slightly stunned. He was actually more familiar with this. After all, he had quite a lot of knowledge about the Three Kingdoms in his previous life. Although his memories were blocked by the world's will of this world, he still knew about the people of the Eastern Region and the Yizhou Region.
The so-called Yizhou people were the indigenous people who grew up in Yizhou, while the people of the Eastern State were outsiders. When the war broke out in Nanyang and Sanfu, a large number of people moved into Yizhou from this land. These people were the so-called people of the Eastern State.
Hei Guang wasn't interested in this at all, but Dongfang Fengfu and the others were very curious because they were still very interested in this kind of history.
At this moment, Ning Sui suddenly interjected," This matter is not important. The Cao thief will not make a difference just because you are from Yizhou or Dongzhou.”
Liu Yin immediately snorted and said," Jing state people make it sound so easy. They can just stay out of it.”
After Ning Sui heard this, he fell silent and thought to himself,'It seems that the rift between the people of the Eastern Prefecture and the people of the Yizhou cannot be smoothed out in a few moves.”
Yang Lan suddenly pressed her hand on her chest, and her breathing became a little hurried. Hei Guang saw this scene, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled." What's wrong with you?”
Yang Lan was naturally happy to see Hei Guang concerned about her, but now was not the time." I don't know what's going on, but I keep feeling a disturbance in my chest.”
"Don't tell me you're not feeling well? Should he not participate in the battle this time and go rest?”
Hei Guang did not know what was going on either, but he could not help but care about the other party.
"It's not like that. How should I put it? It's like the feeling of meeting an acquaintance that I haven't seen for a long time.”Yang Lan shook her head.
Wu Ban looked at Ju Fu, who was staring at him, and could not help but sigh in his heart.”
