General Qin

"Brother Li!"

"Brother Li!"

In the city of Chengdu in Shu County, Ren Xiao was overjoyed when he saw Li You standing in front of him alive.

He took the initiative to ask for orders to conquer the Southwest Yi this time, isn't it just to save Li You.

Now that Li You came back alive, it is equivalent to the purpose of Ren Xiao's trip has been completed, and the big rock hanging in his heart has fallen to the ground, how can he not be unhappy in his heart.

Compared to Ren Xiao's joy, Li You had a gloomy and cold face.

He, Gong Ao and others came out of the southernmost forest in Berkshire.

Later generations say that Bashan Chushui is desolate.

Berkshire has always been famous for its mountains, although Li You led people out of the forest to a small village on the border of Berkshire. But it is still surrounded by mountains. They found a guide from a nearby village and wandered around for a long time before leaving the mountain.

Under the traffic conditions of this era, a long time had passed by the time they arrived in Jiangzhou, the seat of Berkshire.

Although he was defeated, Li You's faith was not defeated. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit. He felt that the next time he led troops to Dian Kingdom, he would never be fooled by those Southwestern Yi people again, and he would definitely kill them all. If you don't stay, the blood will flow, and you will take revenge.

As a result, when they came to Jiangzhou City, they were shocked to hear that the emperor had ordered Ren Xiao to lead the troops of the three counties to attack the Southwestern Yi.

Li You turned pale with shock, because in his calculation, even if the news of this defeat was sent back to Xianyang, it would take some time for the emperor to take revenge and conquer the Southwest Yi.

He just needs to go back in time, write a letter to the emperor to plead guilty, and ask for revenge like Meng Mingshi did when he got revenge on Xiaoshan, and then he will inform his Tingwei father to help intercede, Li You is still very likely to lead the army to avenge his shame .

After all, he fought Southwestern Yi for a year, and the results were quite fruitful. Regarding the geographical situation here, it is difficult for all the generals in the court to compare.

Wherever Li You fell, he had to get up.

But he didn't expect the emperor to be eager for revenge. How long did it take before he sent a general to reconquer the Southwest Yi, which caught him off guard.

The emperor changed his general again to attack the Southwestern Yi, so what should he do?

Li You was so anxious that he hurriedly rode the horse provided by Bajun, and hurried to Chengdu, the county seat of Shu County, through the official road, just in time to meet Ren Xiao who had just arrived here.

Seeing Ren Xiao fully clothed and wearing a general's armor, the last luck in Li You's heart was gone.

Gritting his teeth, he stared at Ren Xiao and said, "General Ren, the emperor ordered you...to conquer the Southwestern Yi?"

Ren Xiao's attitude towards Li You was very good, he laughed and said: "Yes, I heard that brother Li was plotted against by those barbarians in the southwest, and his whereabouts are unknown. Many people said that brother Li was captured by those barbarians. I was worried, so I immediately asked for orders to come to conquer the barbarians, and wanted to save Brother Li. Unexpectedly, Brother Li came back by himself before the fight. Brother Li is really lucky."

Li You felt dizzy for a while.

No wonder the emperor resumed the conquest of the Southwest so soon, it turned out that Ren Xiao asked for his order.

And let Ren Xiao say that he actually asked for his life because he was worried about his own safety.

What is this!

Li Youqi's teeth itched.

Fortunately, he is a son of a nobleman after all, no matter how angry he was, he still maintained his demeanor and said politely: "Thank you, General Ren, for your concern."

"Hahaha, everyone is a good brother, that's how it should be. Before I set off, Captain Ting specifically entrusted me to find Brother Li."

"It's best for Brother Li to come back safely now, so I can explain to Wei Ting. By the way, what is your name, General Ren? You and I are called brothers, so don't be so polite."

Ren Xiao smiled all over his face and asked people to go down to prepare drinks for Li You, to wash him off.

But how can Li You drink at this time? Thinking about the war in the Southwest, he asked urgently: "I fell into the tricks of those barbarians and was attacked by them with a false surrender. That's why I suffered a big defeat. Those barbarians are extremely cunning, I don’t know what is the plan of Brother Ren leading the troops of the three counties to conquer these barbarians?”

Ren Xiao murmured, "There is no rush for this matter. When I came here, the Marquis of Martial Art once instructed that in the art of war, it is said that knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. Let me not enter the army without authorization, and send people to find out the situation of the barbarians first. I will train troops in Shu County first, and then make the next plan when I get the information.”

"Wu Gonghou?"

Li You blinked, and asked a little confused: "Who is this? When did the court gain a Martial Arts Marquis?"

Ren Xiao explained with a smile: "It's General Zhao Tuo. He conquered the Hu people in the northwest, defeated the three Yue clans, exterminated the Huns, and killed the Huns Shanyu. , Today, the Lord specially gave him six thousand households in the city of food!"

"Zhao Tuo...killed the Xiongnu Shanyu...proclaimed Marquis Marquis...given food to six thousand households..."

Li You repeated these words from his mouth.

In an instant, he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, his confidant Gong Ao, who had been following him all the time, had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately reached out to support Li You.

Gong Ao said softly: "Junwei?"

Ren Xiao also asked with concern: "Brother Li, what's wrong with you, are you too tired, why don't you go down and rest for a while."

"I'm fine."

Li You waved his hand and forcibly expelled the matter of Martial Arts Marquis Zhao Tuo from his mind.

He stared at Ren Xiao with red eyes, and said: "Brother Ren, you have been planning for too long. It will take a long time to find out the information of the barbarians. Although I was defeated by their tricks before, But before he left, he set off a big fire and severely injured those barbarians, in my opinion, it is better to lead an army to attack immediately, catch those barbarians by surprise, and directly take Dian Kingdom!"

"I have been fighting here for a year, and the terrain in the southwest is the most familiar. I will lead the way for brother Ren, and go straight to the kingdom of Dian, and avenge my Great Qin!"

What Li You said was categorical.

The emperor has appointed Ren Xiao to lead the army, since it cannot be changed, then accept it, and the most important thing is that he, Li You, must take revenge!

And after following Ren Xiao to defeat the Southwest Yi, maybe he can still pay for his crimes!

Li You's mentality is still good.

But unexpectedly, after he said "lead the way for Brother Ren", everyone's expressions changed drastically.

"No!"

The faces of several generals and staff members turned blue.

Ren Xiao's eyelids twitched and he shouted, "Brother Li, don't want it!"

Li You said in astonishment: "Brother Ren, don't worry about me?"

He explained: "Brother Ren, don't worry, I have been fighting in the southwest for more than a year, and I have left my footprints everywhere. The mountains and forests on both sides of the road along the way have been burned clean by me. I will lead the way. , there will never be any problems. I will never take the credit for defeating the Southwest Yi with Brother Ren, I just want revenge!"

Ren Xiao shook his head and said, "What did Brother Li say? It's just that before I came, Ting Wei once said that after finding Brother Li, he should ask Brother Li to return to Xianyang as soon as possible, and don't want to stay in the southwest for a long time, and the emperor must be waiting for him." News from Brother Li."

"As for the conquest of Southwestern Yi, I will discuss with several county lieutenants before deciding on tactics. I don't know how long it will take. Brother Li doesn't have to wait here for a long time. Let's go back to Xianyang first."

Ren Xiao looked at Li You in front of him, feeling a little apprehensive.

Although he was grateful for Li You's friendship back then, he was also willing to ask for orders to conquer the Southwest Yi to rescue Li You.

But Ren Xiao himself is absolutely unwilling to fight with Li You.

Not only him, I am afraid that there are not many generals in Daqin who dare to form a team with Li You.

After a period of time, the name of "Shuqi County Lieutenant" has been fermented and spread, and after adding various ingredients, it has become very scary.

Some people even said in private that in the first battle against Chu that year, it was because Li You was in the army that Li Xin and Meng Wu were defeated, and these two ever-victorious generals were defeated miserably.

In the second battle against Chu, it was thanks to the old general Wang Jian that he could barely hold it. Even so, he was still defeated by Li You in Rushui, which put a layer of stain on the record of victory. .

Li Youshu's strange power is so terrifying.

Even Wang Jian was barely pressing.

If it was replaced by other generals as the commander in chief, Li You might have to defeat him!

Although these rumors are a bit exaggerated, it is better to believe it!

Who dares to bet?

Who dares!

The governor of Shu who had just walked into the house turned pale with fright when he heard Li You's words.

At the risk of offending Li You, he said: "Brother Li, let's go back to Xianyang. After the defeat in the Southwest, Jinshang has appointed a new county lieutenant. Brother Li is now dismissed. He should immediately go back to Xianyang and report to Xianshang. Stay here for a long time, I'm afraid there will be disasters."

Li You bit his lip.

His post of lieutenant was dismissed.

This is normal, after all, Ren Xiao led the soldiers and horses of the three counties to conquer the Southwest Yi, of which Shu County was the core, and the position of county lieutenant was naturally impossible to be vacant.

Not to mention that he fought that defeated battle, how could it be possible for him to stay in office.

Li You said unwillingly: "If I leave, no one here, brother Ren, will be familiar with the mountains and rivers of the Southwest."

As soon as these words came out, a person stood up behind Li You and said loudly: "Junwei, please go back at ease, don't let Tingwei worry about Xianyang. In the end, he will follow the Junwei to fight in the southwest. The geographical situation here is not the same as that of the barbarians. The distribution has long been familiar in my heart, I should lead the way for General Ren and avenge my Great Qin!"

Li You looked back in astonishment, and saw that it was his confidant Gong Ao who was impassioned, and now he was the Sima of Shu County.

Gong Ao followed him to conquer the Southwestern Yi for more than a year, and he was really proficient in the geography here. Even because he was the executor, he was much more familiar with the terrain than Li You, the leader.

"With the co-sima here, brother Li can go home with peace of mind."

The governor of Shu immediately spoke.

Seeing this, Ren Xiao also interjected: "Yes, yes, since this Communist Sima also knows the geographical situation here, Brother Li doesn't have to worry about it. We will suppress the barbarians and avenge Brother Li."

Li You stared blankly at Gong Ao.

Gong Ao bit the bullet and didn't say a word.

He was very grateful for Li You's kindness, so he followed Li You to conquer Chu and attack the Yi people in Nanjun until this time he came to conquer the Southwest Yi.

But in every battle, there is no good result.

Conquering the Chu land, Li Youlong fought with his back to the wall, but was defeated miserably.

Attacking the barbarians in Nanjun, the first wave was also beaten by those barbarians. Although they finally won by attacking with fire, it is hard to say much about the process.

As for the attack on the Southwestern Yi, the result was also a disastrous defeat.

Gong Ao has long heard the saying of "odd numbers" circulating in the army.

He didn't quite believe it at first, but he believed it a little later, but he chose to bear it in order to repay his kindness.

Until now, Gong Ao couldn't bear it anymore.

No one likes to lose a battle, and no one likes to be the loser who is laughed at all the time.

Gong Ao looked at Li You, his timid eyes became firm.

Commander, go back to Xianyang.

Don't fight anymore.

Hello to you and everyone.

Feeling Gong Ao's gaze, and the persuasion of the governor of Shu and Ren Xiao echoed in his ears.

Li You sighed, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Ren and the sheriff are right, I should go back to Xianyang, and here I will leave it to you."

Hearing this, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

Li You turned around and walked out of the door lonely.

"Brother Li."

Ren Xiao yelled from behind.

"Sheriff."

Gong Ao also spoke.

Li You ignored them and went straight outside the house.

The sun was about to set, and the sky was dyed a fiery red.

In Li You's opinion.

This scene is like someone setting fire in the sky.

It would be great if he could also release this sky-full of flames and burn all the enemies to ashes in one go.

Li You raised his head, choked speechlessly, and looked up at the sky.

"Odd... Odd..."

The next day, a carriage left Chengdu, Shu County, and embarked on the road to Xianyang.
