The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 192

Zheng Yi took away the items and letters given by Zhang Yan.

Taking advantage of the blue crab shells appearing in the distant sky, he ordered a group of people to wade out.

To hide people's eyes and ears.

As soon as these Black Mountain soldiers left the city, they set off in the direction of Yixing City.

During the period, they took the main road and the small road separately, hoping to distract the attention of the soldiers of the Han army and provide Zheng Yi with better opportunities.

According to Zheng Yi's speculation and judgment, there must be an ambush at the north gate, and the south gate is where Huangfusong's main force is located.

The east gate leads directly to Ngai Hing City, and there must be many ambushes on the way to ask for help.

Only Ximen can see that the Han army does not attach great importance to it, whether it is from the Han army's feigned attack or from the deviation from the route of asking for help.

So Zheng Yi chose to sneak out from the west gate on a horse, avoiding the location of the Han army, and traveled all the way without stopping.

Since he has been active in the Taihang Mountains all year round, he is very familiar with the terrain.

After all the hardships.

Finally, he was allowed to avoid the eyeliner of the Han army and made a detour to Yixing City.

Yixing City, in the meeting hall.

When Dian Wei and the others heard that Zheng Yi really came again, they all admired Liu Yi's ingenious plan.

They thought that Liu Yi was a lion and asked Zheng Yi to bring a message to Zhang Yan, demanding five hundred horses and a thousand catties of iron.

Zhang Yan should not agree.

Especially after they teased Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan would not agree to their request.

It has been several days since Zheng Yi went back, and it has been a long time since the other party has taken any action. Dian Wei and the others have long given up hope.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan finally sent someone to come again.

Everyone is smart, and they all know Zhang Yan's situation.

It must have come to ask them to send troops.

After all, now that Zhang Yan sent someone here, it's not just to say hello, right?
They have heard the reports from the soldiers that Zheng Yi came here alone.

This puzzled him.

Liu Yi made it very clear last time, as long as he didn't see the horse for a day, Bing Tie would definitely not send troops.

Now that the Black Mountain Army is besieged by floods in the city, Zheng Yi will definitely not be able to meet Liu Yi's request.

Then what is the use of his coming here?

All are smart people.

Liu Yi and Zhang Yan are not considered hostile, but somewhat competitive.

Both of them want to integrate the forces of the rebel army in the Taihang Mountains and strengthen their strength.

Although Zhang Yan's strength has been greatly damaged after a series of battles, it is difficult to stop Liu Yi's pace of unifying the Taihang Mountains.

Now it is facing a major crisis.

As long as Liu Yi allows Huangfusong to destroy Zhang Yan, no one can stop him from becoming a speaker in this area.

Therefore, Liu Yi could completely ignore Zhang Yan's request for help and use Huangfusong's hand to destroy the Black Mountain Army.

They believed that Zheng Yi would not fail to understand this point.

But now that Zheng Yi is here, they are very curious about how Zheng Yi will persuade Liu Yi to send troops.

Dian Wei couldn't help admiring and said:

"My lord really has you! This kid Zhang Yan really obediently begged to come to the door again."

Pei Yuanshao said disdainfully:

"Zhang Yan is just a generation who can't show his strength, and with an army of tens of thousands in his hands, he is at the end of his rope!
With his little ability, he wants to compete with me and others, it's simply beyond his control.

If General Bai hadn't been merciful that day, we would have wiped them out long ago. "

Zhou Cang smiled and said:

"My lord! Tonight is different from the past. Five hundred horses and one thousand catties of iron are not enough..."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words.

When will Zhou Cang learn to be bad?
Actually took advantage of the fire to force a price increase.

But when I thought about how to get more horses and iron.

Everyone is still very excited.

War horses can increase the number of their cavalry.

Iron can further enhance the combat power of the army.

The strengthening of their overall strength by these two materials is visible to the naked eye and can be effective in a short time.

No one will dislike them much.

Liu Yi also nodded with a smile and said:
"Yuan Fu is right.

One moment, another moment, the initiative is now completely in our hands.

Zhang Yan and the others are not qualified to negotiate terms with us at all.

As long as we can send troops to relieve their crisis, let alone five hundred horses and a thousand catties of iron.

Even if they want more, they have to agree, and if they don't agree, they have to agree..."

But now,

Bai Qi didn't care about horses and iron,
Li Dagui reminded:

"My lord, Hong Bo led the army to set up defenses on our way to support.

Although these days are very law-abiding.

However, Zhang Yan and others were trapped in the city by the flood.

Right now, when I send troops, Huangfusong, a treacherous and cunning man, will definitely spare some of his troops to attack.

It is because of negligence that Zhang Yan fell into crisis, and we have to guard against this. "

Li Dagui's worries are not unreasonable, but everyone still has great confidence in the defensive strength of Yixing City.

The city wall of Ngai Hing City is strong, and the soldiers are fine and food is sufficient, which is far beyond what Zhang Yan's troops can match.

As long as they guard the city, Huangfusong has nothing to do with them.

If Huangfusong healed his scar and forgot the pain, they didn't mind letting him have a long memory.

With Bai Qi around, Liu Yi was not worried that Huangfusong could threaten his life.

But he knew it very well.

Zhang Yan and others were besieged by the flood, if they didn't go to rescue them, they would not be far from defeat.

Once Zhang Yan is wiped out.

At that time, they will become the main targets of Huangfusong's conquest.

It wasn't something he liked.

Huangfusong and Zhang Yan have lost both sides.

Taking advantage of Zhang Yan's remaining prestige, it might be a good thing to cooperate with him to defeat Huangfusong.

It would be great if Zhang Yan's department could be annexed in one fell swoop, so as to save the trouble of integrating in the future.

Therefore, Liu Yi was more inclined to send troops.

He cast his eyes on Bai Qi and asked:

"General Bai, what do you think?"

Seeing Liu Yi speak, everyone became quiet for an instant, and turned their attention to Bai Qi.

They have nothing but adoration in their dialogue.

Among the crowd, only Bai Qi's opinion can influence Liu Yi's decision to a certain extent.

Gather all eyes.

Bai Qi saw Liu Yi's thoughts at a glance, and said slowly:

"The existence of Zhang Yan and his Black Mountain Army will do more good to our army than harm.

They live in the south and we live in the north. My lord can annex Zhang Yan's forces in no hurry.

The existence of Zhang Yan can not only better share our pressure, but also divert the court's attention.

The lord can finally annex them after integrating other large and small forces. "

After saying that, Bai Qi glanced at Li Dagui and explained:
"Huangfusong is mainly defending us right now, it is absolutely impossible to send troops to attack us.

They besieged Zhang Yan's army with insufficient food and grass, and they were powerless to attack us.

The most important thing is that Huangfusong wants to get out of this quagmire as soon as possible.

They will gather the strength of all the troops to give Zhang Yan and others a thunderous blow, and then the team will return to the court and report to Liu Hong.

Wanting to crusade against us will be the next thing..."

Bai Qi talked eloquently, and everyone nodded when they heard the words.

To be a human being, the pattern should be big.

Do things with a broad horizon.

They only pay attention to the immediate interests, and they don't see far-reaching enough. After Bai Qi explained it, they suddenly became enlightened.
