Wei Wentong was also a snake, so he climbed up with the help of a pole. He cupped his hands and shouted,"Thank you for your support, princes. I am willing to take up this responsibility.”
In an instant, the expressions of Luo Yi and his subordinates changed. Xue Wanjun could not wait to stand up and say,"My lords, I feel that I am more suitable than General Wei. Firstly, I was originally from Jizhou, so I had the right time, place, and people. Secondly, I think I'm not much weaker than General Wei.”
Those who were doing this were not fools, nor were they reckless people. How could they not know what Luo Yi was worried about?
However, other than Wu Jianzhang and Yang Lin who wanted to eliminate Liu Yu, the rest of the people weren't thinking about Liu Yu. They were thinking about Luo Yi, the leader of Jizhou, and Han Qinhu.
Although Jizhou was in the territory of the Great Sui, Luo Yi could be considered to be a disguised form of self-respect. If Luo Yi was loyal to the imperial court, it would not be a big threat.
In other words, Luo Yi had no intention of rebelling against the Sui Dynasty, but would Luo Yi's descendants still be loyal to the Great Sui?
Han Qinhu immediately stood up and said," Everyone has witnessed General Wei's capabilities. However, this little general may not be a match for Liu Yu. If Liu Yu decides to rebel and wants to go south, I will be unable to stop him. That will be a huge loss."”
Luo Yi said," General Han, that's not true. I know my men the best. Although his skills may not be a match for General Wei, his ability to lead troops in battle is not inferior to General Wei's.”
Wu Jianzhang coughed coldly and said," How about this? Wei Wentong will be the leader and Xue Wanjun will be the assistant. The two of you will guard Yanmen Pass together. No matter what, Liu Yu cannot enter the pass again."”
Wei Wentong stood up and said,"I accept your orders!"”
This put Xue Wanjun in a dilemma. Wei Wentong was the leader while he was the assistant. Although they complemented each other on the surface, Wei Wentong's authority was obviously greater than his. If they disagreed in the future, would Wei Wentong's Green Dragon Crescent Blade be placed on his neck?
Xue Wanjun was in a daze. Luo Yi couldn't play dumb. The current situation was better than letting Wei Wentong enter Yanmen Pass alone. Luo Yi said,"Why hasn't Wanjun thanked wangye yet?"
Xue Wanjun, who came back to his senses, said helplessly,"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Outside Da Li City!
Tens of thousands of miles of desert was accompanied by half-dead plants. A large number of wolves, tigers, and leopards ran amok in the wasteland. Countless wails could be heard here. A large number of white bones piled up like mountains. It was unknown how many large-scale battles had been fought here.
Liu Yu and the others had set up camp here. After fifteen days of rapid marching, Liu Yu's army finally passed through Yanmen Pass. However, after Liu Yu and the others left, the commander of Yanmen Pass actually built a new earth wall outside Yanmen Pass.
A mountain bandit ran into the camp and shouted," Reporting! Marshal, the Sui army has Wei Wentong as the marshal and Xue Wanjun as the vanguard. They have mobilized 100,000 troops to guard Yanmen Pass!”
Liu Yu yawned and said,"As expected, the Sui soldiers want to block us outside Yanmen Pass!"”
Wei Zheng sighed." This is also very understandable. The terrain outside Yanmen Pass is desolate. If we wait for ten years, they won't even need to raise an army to suppress us. We will just starve to death!”
Wang Bodang sighed." Now is the perfect time. We'll take Dali City as our base first, and then we'll do something here."”
"Big Brother, give me 3,000 soldiers and I'll take Dali City today!" Wu Tianxi stood up and said.
Liu Yu stood up and walked around." This battle is to publicize our bravery. So, let's go together!"”
"Wait!" Wei Zheng stood up and stopped him." General, we're still a group of bandits. If we don't…"
Liu Yu waved his hand." I know what you mean. We will call ourselves the soldiers of Yanzhou. If others ask, we are still the soldiers of Great Sui."”
Whoosh! Shan Xiongxin almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He even called himself a soldier of the Sui Dynasty and a soldier of the Yan Prefecture. Wasn't this a joke?
Liu Yu also knew that this was too ridiculous. However, it was too early to declare himself king. However, he could not use the name of a bandit to attack the city!”
Three thousand cavalry and twelve thousand infantrymen were in formation under Dali City. In Liu Yu's play, Xiong Kuohai, Wei Zheng, Wu Tianxi, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang and others were separated from each other.
Hou Junji, a nine-ringed saber in his hand, stood at the edge of the moat and cursed,"That son of a b * tch dared to come down and fight me. If you're a man, don't hide in the city ~~~"
On the city wall!
Da Li's Commander Shangguan Yunrui and Deputy Commander He Tianqi stared at the city wall and frowned." General Shangguan, the urgent documents have been sent to Chang 'an.”
Shangguan Yunrui said," The rebel soldiers are despicable. We have 8,000 men in Dali City. If we don't go out of the city to fight, we will most likely become the laughing stock of the world in the future."”
He Tianqi shook his head and said," General, you can't. This person should be the famous Liu Yu of the Central Plains. Although our Da Li has many troops, we can't compare to his soldiers."”
" That's why I'm letting you stay here," Shangguan Yunrui said." If anything happens to me, Dali City will be handed over to you."”He turned around and said,"Bring me my Mountain Breaker Axe…"
"Roar ~~~"
The city gate was wide open. Shangguan Yunrui had just led three thousand men out of the city when Wu Tianxi came galloping over with the Huntian Boring.
"Thief general, eat this."
"Who is the thief general ~~~"
Shangguan Yunrui swung the mountain axe in his hand. Shangguan Yunrui was the embodiment of bravery in the Northern Desert. He was also a hero envied by many people in Dali City. Therefore, the soldiers of Dali City thought that Shangguan Yunrui could not be defeated!
The Mountain Breaker Axe slashed down like a bolt of lightning. Wu Tianxi laughed to himself and raised the Huntian Boring with both hands to block the attack.
Clang! Clang!
A loud bang was accompanied by huge sparks flying in all directions. Logically speaking, Shangguan Yunrui had raised his mountain axe high and the horse had swooped down. The impact was so great that even if he couldn't kill Wu Tianxi, he could at least knock him over.
But in fact, not only was Wu Tianxi fine, but Shangguan Yunrui's hands were numb from the shock. Even the horse he was riding had been pushed back by a large amount.
"Roar ~~~"
Wu Tianxi clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the warhorse stood up. He raised the Chaotic Sky Boring with both hands and fiercely hacked down. "Thieving general, it's your turn to take this move of mine.
Shangguan Yunrui took a deep breath just by looking at Wu Tianxi's movements. The sound of the wind was like the air being cut by the Chaos Heaven Boring.
Shangguan Yunrui had no choice but to use his Mountain Axe to force Wu Tianxi to attack fiercely. Who knew that when Wu Tianxi rode his horse past Shangguan Yunrui's warhorse, the Huntian Tang fiercely patted the horse's head.
"Roar ~~~"
"Rumble…"
The warhorse let out a sorrowful neigh and fell to the ground with a loud crash. Shangguan Yunrui, who was on the horse's back, was also sent flying. When he landed on the ground, Shangguan Yunrui instantly felt as if his back had exploded.
