The plan to besiege Yu County and Wugong County and capture Li Sanniang, the main rebel force in Guanzhong, failed. The Sui army retreated to Yu County to guard it.
During the siege of Wugong County, Ma Sanbao had ambushed the main camp, resulting in the death of the commander of the Sui army and several generals. In the end, they could only retreat to Yu County to guard and wait for orders from above.
However, at this time, the imperial court in Chang 'an was a little flustered. The war in Taiyuan was losing ground. Now it had reached the east of the river and would soon arrive in Chang' an. At this time, who would care about Li Sanniang's small army?
However, as the most loyal generals of the Sui Dynasty, Yin Shi and Jing Zhao Yi Guyi did think of defending Chang 'an and attacking Li Sanniang, taking her hostage.
Li Sanniang had roped in the rebel army in Guanzhong, then attacked Yu County, Wugong County, and Shiping City. Now, she had caused chaos in Guanzhong and distracted the imperial court. She could be considered a great contributor to the Li family. Li Yuan believed that he valued this daughter very much.
So if they could capture Sanniang Li and use her as a hostage, they could resist Li Yuan for a while. After all, Sanniang Li was Li Yuan's daughter and a great hero of the Li family. They did not believe that Li Yuan would not compromise. If he did not compromise and directly attacked Chang 'an without caring about Sanniang Li, it would definitely chill the hearts of the soldiers and ruin Li Yuan's reputation.
She could also disgust Li Yuan and prevent him from having the chance to become a duke in the future. She believed that Li Yuan would definitely compromise for the sake of his reputation, so this Li Sanniang was the key.
We can't stop Li Yuan's army, but we can still take down a small figure like Li Sanniang.
The Underworld Master and Gu Yi's idea was good, but Third Aunt Li was Third Aunt Li after all. With the help of several aristocratic families in Wugong County and Shiping City, as well as the help of Ma Sanbao's uprising army and Yun Yi, Third Aunt Li already had the strength to protect herself. Their plans were going to fail again.
Although Li Yuan's army was very powerful, with the military genius Li Shimin leading it, it was definitely a very strong army. Fighting with him would definitely not be beneficial.
However, although Sanniang Li looked like a woman, her military ability was comparable to Li Shiming. In addition, she had Ma Sanbao by her side. This person who taught Sanniang Li martial arts and military knowledge from a young age was not weak.
There was also Yun Yi, who had transmigrated from the modern world and was ready to hug Sanniang Li's thigh. With his modern knowledge, he would definitely not let Sanniang Li lose too badly.
The saying that one person could fight against 100,000 troops was not something that could be casually said. It was just a joke. Everyone knew the effects of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. If there was time, they could really make hundreds of them and form a small crossbow battalion. On the battlefield, it was also a trump card.
Sanniang Li was no longer afraid of another large-scale attack by the Sui army. Instead, she had some expectations. With the continuous production of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbows, she had a lot of confidence.
Not long after, Li Yuan's reward for Yun Yi came again. Although Third Aunt Li was the lord of this place, she was still a member of the Li family. Her headquarters was still in Taiyuan, so Li Yuan's reward was definitely set in stone.
At this moment, Yun Yi's official position could be considered second only to Third Aunt Li. It was just a nominal official position. It was an empty official position, but it did not have any real power.
Although Yun Yi had helped Third Aunt Li and the Li family a lot and made a lot of contributions, Li Yuan also had his own concerns.
Most of his understanding of Yun Yi was based on Third Aunt Li's letters. He had never seen Yun Yi in person and did not know what his moral character was like. To put it bluntly, he could not completely trust Yun Yi.
Therefore, Li Yuan's reward for Yun Yi naturally could not be too light, but it could not be too big either. If Yun Yi had power and strength, if he had any other thoughts and wanted to seize Third Aunt Li's military power, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?
Li Yuan naturally did not want to see such a thing happen, so he naturally did not reward them with much gold, silver, and money. There was also an official position. It was a nominal official position, which was considered to be enough face.
However, Li Yuan was obviously thinking too much. Yun Yi was not after the official position, the military power, or the Li family.
Yun Yi only wanted to find a place to settle down in this chaotic world. He also wanted to meet the legendary heroine Li Sanniang and the eternal emperor Li Shimin.
Yun Yi was targeting Li Yuan's daughter, Li Sanniang. Li Yuan would never have thought of this. Even if he had thought of it, he would probably have acquiesced. This was because at this critical moment, what he needed was talent, and what he needed was someone like Yun Yi.
Only when the world was completely pacified would he reconsider. But now, if Third Aunt Li was not married, he would definitely have thoughts of completely roping Yun Yi in.
Knowing the manufacturing and distribution of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, his talent and value would definitely be revalued.
In the past, alcohol and the treatment method for serious injuries might have been trivial, but the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was different now. It was a long-lost technique. To be able to know such a forging technique, one's own strength was different.
If it wasn't a hidden sect, Li Yuan couldn't think of anyone else who would know the manufacturing method of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. To such a hidden sect, of course he had to be friendly and let them see his intentions.
Yun Yi did not care much about these rewards. He did not know how big this official position was, nor did he know what it represented.
He was just a university student, so how could he see such a deep meaning? Anyway, he just had to hug Li Sanniang's thigh.
In this era, as long as one did not rebel, there should be no problem. Of course, the rebellion was not like Li Yuan's. It meant that as long as one did not betray Third Aunt Li and the Li family, one's life would naturally be in danger.
After all, Yun Yi himself knew how important talent was in such an era. As long as you were talented and did not seek death, you might not die.
In the end, the supervisor was replaced because the more Yun Yi looked at him, the more he disliked him. His attitude towards the craftsmen was really bad. How could he let those craftsmen produce the Zhuge Repeating Crossbows properly?
The best way to employ people was to use a stick and a sweet date. Just relying on constant scolding would only cause those craftsmen to have disloyalty and not be able to produce with all their heart.
If they were to tamper with the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, it would not be just one or two people who would die if something went wrong in the war.
Therefore, Yun Yi directly found an excuse. He secretly hid a little of the funds for the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and was reported by Yun Yi.
At this time, the accounting records were very simple. It was so simple that Yun Yi could see the problem at a glance, so he directly reported it. It could be considered as doing a good deed for Sanniang Li.
Then, the supervisor was replaced by Yun Yi. Then, the food of these craftsmen became better, and their attitude towards Yun Yi became different. They also worked harder.
