Chapter 119 Soldiers enter Yizhou
"This boat is too small!" Gan Gui wiped the crossbow carefully, with an inexplicable longing in her eyes.

When the crossbow was fired just now, Gan Gui could feel the tilt of the hull even in the cabin.

After re-docking and returning to the deck, I saw shallow cracks on the base of the eight-ox crossbow.

"This is a trial." Guan Yu was still bare-chested, just like Gan Gui's most common people begging for life on the water.

In Gan Gui's view, General Guan is the most powerful general in the world. When he was in Jiangdong, the old man also said that Guan Yu was as fierce as him.

But just such a unparalleled general who rushed to the battle to seize the army's will and cut the flag, is now going to be a navy?
But now it seems that there is a real drama!General Guan Lixian and Corporal Lixian lived and ate and lived with the sailors on the ship, and he always asked for advice in a humble manner every time the navy drills, which flattered Gan Gui.

Now there are such new ships, it is simply...

"In the future, General Guan can use this navy to run rampant in the east of the river."

This was the only thought in Gan Gui's mind.

Looking at Guan Yu who was seriously inspecting and assessing the condition of the hull, Gan Gui couldn't help offering her own advice:
"General Guan, this boat is too small."

Speaking of Gan Gui, she stretched out her hands and made a comparison:
"If this ship is as huge as Sun Hou's, and such a round waterwheel is placed on the ship, it will not interfere with the oars and sails."

"Furthermore, several Liannu can be placed on each side of the ship's side to engage the enemy ship. If this Liannu shoots at the sampan ferry, wouldn't the ship be destroyed?"

"and……"

Gan Gui told excitedly, and Guan Yu listened carefully. In Gan Gui's vision, the big ship used sails for downwind, and round waterwheels and oars for upwind. When fighting, it could be called an invincible giant ship.

"And if the crossbow arrows of Liannu are modified," Guan Yu draws inferences:

"The end of the crossbow arrow is attached with hemp rope, and the crossbow arrow is wedged into the enemy ship, so the athletes can drag the enemy ship closer to the jumping gang?"

"But now there is a problem." Guan Yu raised his head and pondered: "Nowadays, the shipbuilders in Jiangling City have no way to build huge ships."

Gan Gui beamed with joy: "A certain person is willing to go to Jiangdong!"

……

Just when Guan Yu looked at his warship and was still thinking about how to improve it.

On the west side of Jingzhou, a team has already meandered along Yiling Road.

Pang Tong on horseback looked at the steep mountain, his face turned pale.

And looking at the lord who was walking on foot in front of him, Pang Tong showed gratitude on his face.

As if feeling Pang Tong's gaze, Liu Bei turned his head and said with a relaxed smile:

"Shi Yuan is waiting for the good news in Linju, so why insist on following?"

Pang Tong shook his head and said in a low voice: "Then Li Yi doesn't know the lord, he only recognizes me, and the lord comes in person without the leader accompanying him, what's the plan?"

This is also the reason, Liu Bei no longer persuaded, just looked ahead.

There are jagged rocks and rugged gorge ahead. Liu Bei lost his mind for a moment. Ten years later, he will run more than [-] seats here, and then he will become the name of Lu Xun?
"My lord, Zigui is ten miles ahead." Huo Jun came back from the front and announced.

"Rest on the spot." Liu Bei ordered.

It was February at this time, and it was winter, but fortunately, relying on the charcoal powder and the cooked grain powder distributed by Kong Ming, Liu Bei and his party were not difficult.

There are 3000 troops in Liu Bei's headquarters this time, and everyone is equipped with leggings. This thing has been verified before. Simply tying it can indeed increase the marching speed, and it also surprised a group of generals. .

After a brief rest, Liu Bei divided his troops.

He led a thousand people to go forward with Pang Tong, while Chen Dao, Huo Jun, Feng Xi, and Zhang Nan led 2000 people behind to support them.

And outside Zigui City, Li Yi was already waiting here.

"Unexpectedly, Zhou Gongjin was so short-lived."

Li Yi sighed, he had already planned it before, and when he heard that Zhou Gongjin was gathering troops in Chaisang, Li Yi had already made up his mind to go to Jiangdong to buy a big house!
As a result, things changed unexpectedly quickly.

Li Yi didn't know that Zhou Gongjin died of a serious illness until November last year. Whether Jiangdong could continue to attack Yizhou became a matter of debate.

Fortunately, Pang Tong's secret letter was sent along with Zhou Gongjin's death.

This person claimed to be Zhou Gongjin's personal follower, entrusted by him on his deathbed, to come to Li Yi's place, and wanted to attack Liu Bei with Jiangdong.

Li Yi was noncommittal about this, since the credit for contributing to Yizhou was gone, there must be some credit for investing in Jiangdong.

But he has also heard of the names of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei's tent. If Jiangdong is powerful, he, Li Yi, would not mind stepping on Liu Bei to take credit for it.

What if Jiangdong himself had a bad nose...he tied up Pang Tong and sent him to Chengdu, which would be a lot of benefits in return.

Therefore, Li Yi is happy to see Pang Tong's arrival.

"General, they are coming!" Those with sharp eyes had already seen the group of men and horses, and the leader was a scribe on a white horse.

When this army came out of the gorge, Li Yi was also shocked when he saw the solemn appearance of the army.

But there are only a thousand people, there is a strong city behind him, and there are two thousand defenders, what are you afraid of?
"General Li, there are guests coming from far away, so why don't you invite me in to talk?" Pang Tong shouted.

Li Yi hesitated for a moment, and said vaguely: "You wrote earlier that you said you had a letter..."

Then Li Yi saw that Pang Gongcao rode his horse forward dozens of steps, and took out a letter from his arms:
"The letter is here, you can take a look at it!"

Li Yi hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that there was only an old soldier beside Pang Gongcao, he also rode out, going forward to see what conditions the grandson had prepared for him?
Before and after, Pang Tong delivered the letter with an impatient expression that didn't seem fake, dispelling Li Yi's last worry, and leaned forward to get the letter.

Jiangdong's mansion, fertile land, and beautiful lady may all be in this letter!

And at this moment, the old soldier beside Pang Tong raised his head. Those were a pair of heroic eyes that were unwilling to be inferior to others!
The unsheathed long knife was as bright as white in this somewhat dim sky, Li Yi subconsciously covered his throat, he could feel his own strength, and his dream stored in Jiangdong was flowing down his throat, Across the fingers and tenaciously drained out.

The soldiers on both sides watched as the old soldier bent down and cut off Li Yi's head, then got on Li Yi's mount, held his head high and yelled loudly:
"I am Uncle Liu Huang, a big man. Li Yi is a thief who wants to betray the Lord and seek glory. You will surrender without letting go, but do you want to turn against the Han?!"

The soldiers brought by Liu Bei shouted at the same time:
"Pray for glory against the Lord!"

Then thousands of people stepped forward at the same time, and continued to shout:

"I want to turn against the Han!"

At the same time, groups of soldiers in the rear gorge came out side by side, stepped forward together, and shouted in unison:

"Being against the Lord and seeking glory, you want to turn against the Han!"

At this time, the soldiers outside Zigui City have been shaken, you look at me, I look at you:

We became rebels?

Opposite is the well-known Uncle Liu Huang?

The silent soldiers did not hesitate for too long. As someone took the lead and dropped their weapons, the more than 1000 soldiers led out of the city by Li Yi soon surrendered.

For the people in Zigui, their daily life has not changed much.

That day they saw that General Li led his army out of Zigui City in the morning, but in the evening, it was not General Li Yi who returned to Zigui City.

The faces, accents, and probing eyes of this group of soldiers made the old people understand quickly:
This is an army from other places, it should be from Jingzhou!

Calls from outsiders?
But soon the people of Zigui gave up this idea: if they call, how can they not rob?
There were also people from Dongzhou who had fled from Zigui City. A man Li Gong fled from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, Yuzhou and then Jingzhou. When he arrived in Jingzhou, he heard that the Cao thief was coming, so he simply bought a boat and went up the river to settle in Zigui.

In Li Gong's indifferent tone, the Zigui people had an intuitive understanding of how thieves come like a comb and soldiers come like a grate.

Raiding the city, abducting women, confiscating farmland, and massacring cities, every word can make Zigui feel pale.

But today's soldiers are different. Although there is undisguised greed in their eyes when they look at the people, but whenever they look at the general leading the army ahead, the fear in their eyes is even worse.

Chen Dao in front of him listened to the master's orders.

"Please ask Uncle Zhi to bring his own soldiers to maintain the law and order in the city. Anyone who harasses the people will be executed immediately. Since he has received five hundred months of money, he must abide by the military regulations."

Chen Dao took the order.

"Please ask the military division to issue a notice of the situation and print it with an engraving block. In Putrajaya, let us know the situation."

Pang Tong also took orders.

Liu Bei pondered for a while and continued to order:
"I also need to ask Uncle Zhi to send out another soldier to lock up Li Yi's mansion and clear up the remaining wealth. The servants and servants in the mansion will give him money to return home, and he will be dismissed. As for Li Yi's relatives, he will be temporarily locked up."

"My lord is benevolent." Pang Tong praised him.

Watching Chen Dao take the order to do it, Liu Bei sighed:
"Thanks to Shi Yuan's talent, Zigui was able to start without hurting the people."

Pang Tong didn't dare to take credit, but just sighed: "The light curtain information left by Lai Gongyan is detailed enough."

Li Yi didn't say anything about the light curtain, but after Kong Ming and Jiang Wan carefully filtered the information, they basically found out this doubt.

During the Hanzhong War, Zigui Wu County was still in the hands of the lord when Xiangshui formed an alliance. Why did General Yunchang not go to Zigui when he was defeated, but retreated to the direction of Shangyong?
Even though it was because there was Liu Feng and Mengda in Fangling Shangyong, if he could pass Linju and enter Yiling Road at that time, such easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, he could still escape from the sky.

Then there is only one possibility: with the so-called crossing of the river in white clothes, Zigui and Wu County will all be reversed, and judging from the lord's method of calming people after entering Yizhou, Li Yi has always been guarding this place.

Li Yi originally followed Zhao Wei to rebel against Liu Zhang, and when Zhao Wei was defeated, Li Yi rebelled and killed Zhao Wei and rejoined Liu Zhang. However, this move was an expedient measure, just like Pang Xi. Don't take Liu Zhang seriously again.

The arrival of Pang Tong made up the last link: the water near Yiling is turbulent and there are many hidden reefs, and the navy is not allowed, but why Zhou Gongjin is still full of confidence and wants to attack Yizhou?
Covered by Li Yizhi's assistance.

The three of Pang Zhuge and Jiang speculated that there should be a plan to persuade Li Yi to surrender when they crossed the river with the white clothes.

In this way, it makes sense why Lu Xun, a Jiangdong native, was able to advance and retreat in a certain way in the battle of Yiling: most of them were helped by the surrendered general Li Yi.

That being the case, Pang Tong took the initiative to ask Ying to make this dangerous plan:

Seeing Li Yi in the name of Zhou Gongjin's deathbed entrustment, looking for a gap to kill the traitor, Zigui has no leader, how can he resist?

Liu Bei thought it was too risky, but Pang Tong insisted.

Fortunately, the final result can be said to be very smooth, the Zigui soldiers did not go down in blood, and they were able to advance westward!
