The atmosphere in Xiyi City is quite strange. The joy and relaxation that was felt when Duke Li Guo returned gradually disappeared. Regarding this battle, Duke Guo has compiled the files and submitted them to the court. All generals will be rewarded.

However, these generals did not talk about the many situations in the Western Region War in detail. They just kept silent when they mentioned it. When Anxi City's army came with a large force, the atmosphere in the city became a little tense.

When facing an army of 100,000, such a brave general was the guarantee for the survival of his unit and an absolutely important friendly force. But when Li Guanyi charged into the battle alone, he was a warrior and a general.

The most desired highest glory.

If they are enthusiastic, they will go to help and raid the formation.

But now that they have returned to Xiyi City, they are no longer a general, a captain, or a person whose life and death are tied to a rope, but the head of this family and the legitimate son of that family.

They all have their own merits.

The person who rushed into the battle was the person who killed Li Xuanye.

This time, that time.

All come for benefit, all come for benefit.

When they needed to rely on the power of this brave traveling businessman, they naturally resented Li Xuanye for causing trouble.

But at this time, they had all returned to the majestic city at the border of Yingguo. They began to think about the past days of listening to music with Li Xuanye, sipping tea and discussing the good things of the world. They began to feel that the Central Plains traveling merchant was acting recklessly and excessively.

Get rough.

Human minds are conflicted, which is why they are like this.

However, despite this, the Duke of Li Guogong showed extreme enthusiasm and courtesy to this group of allies who came here. He personally went out of the city for more than ten miles to greet them, and prepared fine wine to welcome the guests early.

Li Guogong laughed boldly and said:

"Hahaha, my dear nephew, it's easy for me to wait!"

Seeing the troops led by Li Guanyi again, he was full of praise and said:

"Good military appearance, good courage."

Li Guanyi's troops, Fan Qing's and Qi Bili's troops were in front, each wearing extremely fine armor and holding weapons. Li Guanyi turned over and dismounted, and saw that the old prince was very elegant and swept past Li Guan.

Zhaowen, Li Zhaowen smiled and nodded.

Immediately, he also grabbed Li Guogong's arm and said with a smile: "My lord, you are in good spirits."

Li Guogong laughed brightly and said: "Hahaha, thanks to my virtuous nephew."

"You Tiangeer, save me from the army so that I can continue to drink and have fun here. Otherwise, I would have become a withered skeleton in the grave. How could I still be here to welcome you?"

"Come, come, I have prepared a banquet here and am waiting for you to come in."

"These brave soldiers have also arranged their own accommodation."

Fan Qing took the initiative to speak and said solemnly: "We are armed and armed and cannot enter this big city, so please ask the Duke to give us an area outside so that we can rest here."

Li Guogong persuaded him again and again, but failed. His face was full of praise and he praised him repeatedly, saying that he had the sage demeanor of a famous general in ancient times. However, he was very wary and had a headache in his heart. This army was outside, but when Li Guan entered it, there was no trace of it.

worries.

So Li Guan was allowed to station his troops not far from here, and food and wine were supplied to the maximum extent. Fan Qing and others only received food and supplies, and none of the wine jars were opened.

Li Guogong sighed for a long time, but also praised: "Such a character is like a good general in ancient times."

Nai personally ordered that another set of armor and a weapon-level spear be selected from the arsenal and given to Fan Qing. After Fan Qing asked Li Guanyi for instructions, he respectfully and politely accepted this set of armor and weapons.

The people and officials of Xiyi City were a little shocked when they saw the solemn appearance of the Tiangeer army in Anxi City and thought of the legendary achievements. Even if they had other thoughts in their hearts, there was nothing they could do.

The atmosphere of the time was quite peaceful.

The banquet at Duke Guo's Mansion could be regarded as a feast for the guests and host. Li Guogong talked, laughed and sang as usual. He even went to play the pipa himself and let the singers dance and sing. When he got excited, he remembered that he was old and couldn't help but

The ground burst into tears.

Many staff members of the government and officials from Xiyi City came to persuade him.

Xia Houdui was the only one who sighed and just drank his wine. When he looked at Li Guan, Li Guanyi raised his wine glass to congratulate him, and Xia Houdui lowered his head again, the sadness on his face became heavier.

After the banquet, Li Guanyi and Li Zhaowen talked. Li Zhaowen first congratulated Li Guanyi for his world-famous achievements, then looked at Li Guanyi up and down, and raised his hand to squeeze Li Guanyi's shoulder.

But he paused again, feeling hesitant.

But suddenly I felt something was wrong.

In the past, when I wanted to see such a brother, what was my mistake? Why did I hesitate?

So he patted Li Guanyi's shoulder calmly, grabbed his arm, and pressed his fingers on Li Guanyi's pulse. He felt the pulse naturally and asked, "I heard that Brother Li met the Wolf King."

, he said that you had fought with him for more than ten rounds, but were you ever injured?"

Li Guan nodded and stretched out his hand. Several days had passed since the battle, and his breath was still a little unstable. The wolf king was so majestic and terrifying that he should be able to capture Li Guansheng.

The idea didn't strike me at first.

Li Zhaowen grabbed Li Guanyi's arm, his eyes bright:

"I wonder what Brother Li thinks of the Wolf King?"

Li Guanyi was silent for a long time and replied: "If it is a one-on-one fight, I will use all my methods. With the help of my great-grandfather's swordsmanship and the magic weapon in my hand, I may be able to escape at the cost of serious injuries; if I am leading an army,

I'm afraid I will be defeated even more completely."

"Erlang, what's the news after Wolf King?"

Li Zhaowen said: "In just these few days, after the Wolf King fought with you, he deliberately publicized your methods widely. The leader of Dangxiang Kingdom died suddenly and died in a banquet. The nobles in the city knew from the battle report

The Wolf King is not here, so I think this is their biggest opportunity."

"I tried several times but found no sign of the Wolf King coming back, so I tried my best to lead the elite guards to rush out, and sent out several secret orders to contact those who were still in the area occupied by the Wolf King Chen Fubi.

The elite of the Dangxiang Kingdom who are dissatisfied with the rule of the Wolf King."

"We plan to work together inside and outside to penetrate this Wolf King's army."

"Everything went smoothly in the beginning, and even in the first confrontation, there was a slight chance of victory. So the Dangxiang people were overjoyed and thought they could put aside the problems here and leave safely, but then..."

Li Zhaowen's voice paused.

No need to say more.

Li Guan asked: "The Wolf King took advantage of the opportunity to fish them all out?"

Li Zhaowen said softly: "Yes, the nobles who are trying to counterattack and go out, regardless of whether they are men, women, old or young, good or bad, will be killed. The people from the Central Plains will only be brought back into the army without risking their lives."

"Every village and town they passed through was set on fire. This time they killed the noble officials, but they stopped killing ordinary people. They moved all the party members away and burned their original towns."

"Dangxiang State was terrified and did not dare to disobey. However, the previous Western Region Allied Forces knew about King Dangxiang's affairs and advanced rashly. They had already arrived at Xiongguan guarded by Xiao Wuliang. They were ambushed and started fighting with each other."

"Xiao Wuliang fought several generals in succession and personally killed more than ten generals. The momentum of the Western Regions ministries took a break. At this moment, Dangxiang's domestic resistance force became weaker and weaker, while the Western Regions ministries were because of the previous 'Wolf King leaving Dangxiang abroad'

News, march by force."

"I am involved in a fight with Xiao Wuliang. I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape for a while."

Li Zhaowen said: "The situation in the Western Region is almost at its end."

"Dangxiang died, all the nobles of Dangxiang were gone, nineteen allied forces advanced rashly, Xiao Wuliang occupied Xiongguan, the Wolf King turned away sharply this time, and immediately made a sudden attack, catching both sides by surprise, and deliberately restrained them under such circumstances.

The time awaits.”

"At this moment, we control the gate of Dangxiang country and control the throat of the desert. Our troops are huge and powerful, and they have the potential to dominate."

"His name is becoming more and more fierce."

Li Zhaowen's expression was silent, her hands tightened, and she was obviously very excited about such a turbulent change in the situation. Her face turned red, her eyes were bright, and she said, "Brother Li, do you know why the return of the Wolf King is so hasty?

"

Li Guanyi looked at his palms and laughed at himself:

"Because this is my 'life money'."

Li Zhaowen said: "Huh?"

Li Guanyi told what happened that day, saying: "With such a good general situation in the world, and Li Guanyi's head on his neck, the Wolf King's temperament will choose. Needless to say, if you fight with me, don't talk about losses."

How about, if I die, Anxi City will join forces with those ministries."

"And when all the forces in the Western Region are targeting him, Jiang Su will not miss this opportunity. The Duke of Guo will take advantage of the situation and send troops. And with this opportunity, Chen Guolu Youxian, the old turtle, will slowly advance."

Li Guanyi clasped his five fingers together and said softly: "This is the general trend. Military strategists follow the trend, first attack with troops and plan, then attack with friends, and then attack with troops."

"What I did was a conspiracy to break up our friendship."

"Although the Wolf King is strong, he has no foundation. I am here, Anxi City is standing here, and I have enemies with the seven tribes of the Western Regions. The Qiang people, Dawan, and Shatuo all need to be on guard against me, and I also need to be on guard against them, and Yingguo and I

Alliance, but it is a distant check and balance with Chen Guo."

"What the Wolf King needs is this fragile balance."

"On the contrary, if King Dangxiang had not died and Dangxiang's national power had been stable, the ministries in the Western Regions would not have been so anxious. If he captured me, the situation might not have changed immediately."

Li Zhaowen looked at Li Guanyi and said with a smile:

"Is the matter of Dangxiang State related to my brother?"

Li Guanyi said: "So."
