Chapter 74 Mystery
Genius remembers it in one second and provides you with wonderful reading.
The chaos happened too quickly, and many people did not react immediately, and the city gate had completely lost.
"Woo~Woo~Woo~" The shrill sound of horns stirred up the entire city, and soldiers in the military camps in various parts of the city were awakened from their dreams and began to gather here.
Outside the city, they were no longer willing to see the enemy's traces. The vast shadows were densely packed under the moonlight, mixed in the night, making people unable to tell how many enemies there were for a moment.
"Hurry, stop them, you guys, put away the suspension bridge for me." The captain did not make a sound on the city wall, but other captains had already begun to call orders.
The captain who had been ordered before walked towards the winch that controlled the suspension bridge with a strange smile on his face.
The captain who was commanding the soldiers saw him walking over in such a leisurely state, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Li Zhao, why don't you come and help me!"
"Help?" Zhao Li smiled and kept approaching, shook his head and said, "I don't think there is any need!"
"What do you mean!" The captain opposite was shocked, and he had already felt a dangerous aura from Zhao Li.
"Clang~" The sword light lit up, and in the incredible gaze of the captain, Zhao Li cut his throat with a sword.
"Huh~" The captain widened his eyes, pulled out half of the sword and fell down dejectedly, and fell to the ground with his eyes open. Zhao Li's martial arts were obviously more than a little better than him, but the speed of his sword was extremely difficult for him to beat him.
"General Zhao, why are you..." The group of soldiers around looked at Zhao Li in shock, a little confused, but more vigilant.
"Put down the suspension bridge...!" The long sword dripping blood was lit at the throat of a long long who was struggling to pull the winch. The smile on Zhao Li's face was gradually replaced by coldness.
"General Zhao, do you want to betray your lord!" Nash let go of his hand unwillingly. The suspension bridge, which had already been rolled up halfway, lost its traction and fell down again.
"Betray?" Zhao Li shook his head with some amusement: "When have I been loyal to him?"
After returning the sword to the sheath, Zhao Li looked around and said calmly: "Everyone, don't say that I didn't remind you that you are the soldiers of Nanyang, but they are even more of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty. In the past, Yuan Shu was nominally still in charge of the imperial court, and it was all right to serve him. But now Yuan Shu was in trouble and killed the three dukes without permission. The court questioned him and even openly raised troops to rebel. This was a plot to rebel. The imperial army had arrived, so it proved that Zhang Xun was finished and the city gate was broken. Do you have to make mistakes and be loyal to the Yuan Shu traitor?"
"General Zhao, you..." A group of soldiers around him who wanted to take action looked at Zhao Li blankly.
Zhao Li took out an iron plate from his arms and said loudly: "I am a secret spy in the court. I was here to investigate Yuan Shu's rebellion, but now it seems that there is no need to investigate. The heavenly soldiers have arrived and the city gate has been broken. Put down my weapons and I will protect you from your safety!"
"We swear to follow the general to the death!" More than a dozen soldiers rushed out of the crowd, all of whom Zhao Li developed in Nanyang. For them, loyalty to the court or Yuan Shu. After all, it doesn't matter to the lower-level soldiers, but Zhao Li was good to them, and they were willing to follow Zhao Li.
The scene was a bit stalemate for a while, but it did not last long. As Li Yan led his men to the city wall, this short stalemate was immediately broken.
Li Yan's martial arts skills were not bad. A long spear in his hand made Huo Huo Shengfeng. On the aisle of the city walls in the village, it did not affect his development. In addition, the main general died in battle, the Nanyang soldiers who came down to take back the city gate could not resist it at all. They were killed by Li Yan step by step, but in this moment, they had already killed the city wall.
It was just that the situation on the city wall surprised him and was strangely calm. The winch that controlled the suspension bridge was protected by more than a dozen people. The leader seemed to be the general of Nanyang, but the surroundings were surrounded by a large number of Nanyang troops. The two sides seemed to be in a stalemate, but this stalemate was instantly broken with Li Yan's killing.
Below the city gate, the troops brought by Li Yan had arrived and quickly rushed into the city gate. The sound of fighting began to sound in the city.
"Dangling~" A Nanyang soldier threw away the weapons in his hand and knelt silently on the ground. Although he did not speak, his attitude had already shown everything.
The effectiveness of role models is endless at any time. As the first soldier kneels down and asks him to surrender, there will naturally be a second and a third.
Although some people wanted to resist, as more and more elite officials of the imperial court entered the city and even began to surge onto the city walls, under this pressure, more and more surrendered people became.
In the end, only Zhao Li and more than a dozen people were left on the entire city wall.
"You want to resist?" Li Yan's eyes fell on Zhao Li and frowned.
Zhao Li waved his hand, signaling his followers to put away their weapons, and shook his head silently.
"Then why not surrender?" Li Yan frowned even deeper. When he came up just now, he was a little confused. The people on the city wall seemed to be divided into two strands. It seemed that there was an internal strife, but seeing that the other party was calm and composed, he did not come up to seek credit like other surrendered generals, and it seemed a little different.
Zhao Li didn't say anything. After turning his hand, he had already added a blue brand in his hand. The carving was quite delicate. Not only did there be dragon patterns on it, but there was also a strange symbol, which made Li Yan even more puzzled.
"Do you recognize him?" Zhao Li looked at Li Yan and asked with a smile.
He shook his head, he had never seen this thing before.
"It seems that you are not qualified enough." Zhao Li sighed and looked behind Li Yan and said, "Your Majesty asked you to come. If someone is following you, let him come to see me."
This was very rude, and he was talking to Li Yan almost in an orderly manner, which made Li Yan very dissatisfied, but he was secretly in his heart. Before he went to war, Liu Xie did send an envoy to follow him. Along the way, he did not manage the army or talk much to him, and was very taciturn. At that time, Li Yan was still wondering whether it was sent by the emperor to supervise him or to control him. However, at this moment, when he looked at Zhao Li, he seemed to understand.
"Come, come and ask the military commander to come." Li Yan immediately said to someone behind him.
"Here!"
"What is this order?" Looking at Zhao Li, who was playing with the green token in his hand with a relaxed look on his face, Li Yan couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Li raised his eyelids and looked at Li Yan and said, "Some things you should know when you should know."
Li Yan was blocked by him and couldn't speak. After a while, under his personal leadership, he came to the city wall. When he saw the green token in Zhao Li's hand, his face changed. In Li Yan's surprised gaze, he took out the other side of the same green token from his arms, which was almost exactly the same, but it seemed that the symbols engraved on it were different.
Seeing this person's token, Zhao Li took back his token and bowed to the other party, but it didn't look like a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
"Supervisor, this is..." Li Yan was a little confused. Although he had already seen that Zhao Li was obviously his own person, he had a mysterious feeling.
"The matter in Nanyang is here, follow me back to meet the saint." The governor said to Zhao Li.
"These brothers have followed me for a long time, and they are also my own people. Can they take them away together?" Zhao Li looked at the dozen soldiers who followed him around and said helplessly.
"Can."
Nodded, the governor turned his head and looked at Li Yan, bowing and said, "It's up to you, I'm going back to report to Your Majesty, and say goodbye."
"This person is..." Li Yan looked at the governor in confusion. Could it be that he was accompanying him all the way to get in touch with this person?
"It's inconvenient for the general to know about this." He shook his head and ignored Li Yan. He quickly went down to the city with Zhao Li and more than a dozen soldiers. He did not stop in the city. He quickly left the city and rushed towards Wuyang overnight.
It was not until the two left that Li Yan calmed down and continued to take over the occupation. At the same time, he recruited several surrendered soldiers who had previously guarded here to ask about Zhao Li's affairs.
