The Three Kingdoms: Zhaolie, the strategist, and the rise of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 204: Jia Wenhe reads people's minds, Li Ziyu forgets his shoes to welcome him

"Our Henan Army and Hebei Army have been at a stalemate in Guandu for more than half a year."

"The military and civilians are in dire straits, so we must achieve victory."

"To be honest with you, Mr. Wenhe, Li has set up several traps in Yuan's camp."

"I am currently in need of a wise and resourceful person to guide me."

Li Yi fixed his eyes and looked at Jia Xu seriously.

His eyes were sincere, and he said solemnly:

"Moreover, Li believed that this matter could not be accomplished without Mr. Wenhe and could not be decided without Mr. Wenhe."

……hiss.

Looking at Li Yi's determined eyes and resolute tone, Jia Xu couldn't help but feel some ripples in his heart.

But he still suppressed his inner excitement, picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and then smiled:

"I am old and dull, why can't I do it?"

"...Sir, you are steady, smart and courageous. I have visited all the camps and found no one like you."

Li Yi also flattered with reason and evidence.

"Mr. Kuang has just arrived at Guandu Camp, and he is also a member of Zhang Xiu's camp."

“Things will go more smoothly.”

What this means is that the Battle of Guandu was essentially a confrontation between Henan and Hebei.

No matter which side the other princes stand on, as long as they do not take direct action, they can be characterized as neutral.

At present, neither Zhang Xiu nor Jia Xu has directly participated in the war.

Identity is less sensitive.

Jia Xu pondered for a while, and his cloudy eyes could not tell what he was thinking.

After a while, he slowly stood up.

Li Yi also stood up at the same time and raised his hand, ready to bow and express his gratitude.

Seeing this, Jia Xu laughed and said:

"...Good, it is my great honor to be able to work with Mr. Li."

Li Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and he completed the gesture in the air and thanked him repeatedly.

Jia Xu asked for specific details again, and Li Yi leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, secretly giving him a plan.

After hearing this, Jia Xu nodded repeatedly.

"…This matter is of great importance. I hope you will not let me down, sir."

After a slight pause, Li Yi added, "Don't let down the people of Henan, don't let down Sikong Cao and General Liu."

The second sentence was purely to put pressure on Jia Xu.

Jia Xu also knew how heavy the burden was on his shoulders, so he made a solemn promise to Li Yi.

"Please don't worry, Mr. Li. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Having said this, he turned and left the camp.

Li Yi personally escorted Jia Xu out of the camp.

"…It's cold outside, Mr. Wenhe, please go home early."

Li Yi smiled slightly.

Jia Xu let out a long sigh, wrapped his fur coat around him, and suddenly turned back to look at Li Yi.

In a half-joking tone, he said:
"...Mr. Li."

"What do you want, Mr. Wenhe?"

"...Haha, I don't dare."

Jia Xu raised his lips and smiled, then looked towards Zhang Xiu who was anxiously waiting not far away.

"...Zhang Xiu is an honest man."

"Today I will hand him over to you, Lord. Please treat him well."

Jia Xu changed his words again and addressed Li Yi by his title.

It seems that he wanted to emphasize that with Li Yi's current status and position, he could definitely save Zhang Xiu if he wanted to.

“Please rest assured, sir, I will not only treat General Zhang well.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a great merit as a gift to him."

Li Yi patted his chest and made the promise.

Only then did Jia Xu feel relieved and turned to leave the camp.

When Zhang Xiu saw him, he hurried over and asked:

"...Sir, what did you say to the Grand Admiral just now?"

"...Hehe, it's nothing. The Grand Commander praised General Zhang's talents. General, you can serve the court loyally and don't have any second thoughts."

Zhang Xiu had always admired Jia Xu, and when the two first met, they performed the rituals between grandfather and grandson.

Therefore, in addition to being Zhang Xiu's guest adviser at work, Jia Xu was more like his grandfather in private life.

"Please rest assured, sir. Since I have led the army to Guandu, how dare I not fight to the death?"

Jia Xu nodded and said:
"Xu has official business to attend to, so he has to leave for a while."

"General, you must know that Guandu is different from Wancheng. All military matters here should be handled by Marquis Li Tan."

"If Marquis Li Tan has an order to mobilize the army, General, do not refuse."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu nodded repeatedly.

Jia Xu left the Guandu camp and headed north.

……

Yuan Jun camp.

Carts of grain came from the north one after another and were continuously transported to Wuchao.

Looking at the military report presented to him, Yuan Shao was overjoyed.

Shen Pei, who was in Yecheng, immediately began to raise food again after receiving Yuan Shao's urging.

Jizhou has a solid foundation, and Shen Pei is a prominent family in Hebei, with a strong influence on the Weijun area.

He actually managed to raise another month's worth of food for Yuan Shao.

Having learned from the last lesson, Yuan Shao also sent a large number of troops to escort food and fodder this time.

Finally, this month's food has successfully entered Wuchao.

And the moment the grain and grass entered Wuchao, it was the death sentence for the Henan army.

Up to now, your Henan Army has refused to fight a decisive battle with my Hebei Army.

Then it can only be a comparison of resources and consumption.

You people from Henan thought that you could wear down our army by stretching the front line, but the facts have proved that you were wrong.

Yuan Shao's intelligence system had already found out that the Henan Army had no more than three days' supply of food and fodder.

What are you fighting with me for?

There are only three days left for the Yuan family to unify the world.

At least that's what Yuan Shao thought.

After reading the military ration statistics presented by Shen Pei, Yuan Shao suddenly discovered that Shen Pei had also written a separate letter to him.

Just as Yuan Shao was about to open it, someone reported that his adviser Xu You wanted to see him.

Yuan Shao was in a good mood at the moment, so he ordered Xu You to come in and see him.

"Ziyuan, why are you looking for me so late and not going to bed?"

"...Haha, our army and Henan's army have been at a stalemate for more than half a year, and it's hard to tell who will win."

"So Youte came to offer advice."

Xu You was a greedy person who valued money more than his life.

Not only did he dare to embezzle military rations, he also dared to ask Yuan Shao directly for them.

Yuan Shao himself had a generous and magnanimous personality, so he often turned a blind eye to Xu You.

But Xu You is a bit naive. It's okay for him to ask Yuan Shao, his rich father, for money on a regular basis.

The key point is that this guy always asked Yuan Shao for money during the war.

It would be fine if you used "official business" as an excuse to ask for funds, but Xu You asked for it directly as "pocket money".

Under normal circumstances, Yuan Shao would have given it.

But what are you doing now?
Fight the Battle of Guandu!

A battle is being fought to decide the fate of the country. Funds are tight. How can I have any spare money to give you?

Therefore, Yuan Shao decisively rejected Xu You's request for "money and property".

Xu You was quite disappointed about this, and felt that it must be because he had not made any achievements for too long, so Yuan Shao deliberately distanced himself from him.

So he made a special trip to come late at night to offer advice to Yuan Shao.

Perhaps if Yuan Shao is happy, he will reward me handsomely.

Facing Xu You who looked confident, Yuan Shao did not show much joy on his face. He just asked calmly:

"What strategy do you have? Please tell me."

Xu You smiled and bowed to Yuan Shao's desk:
"The Henan army is small in number, but they are fighting us with all their might."

"If we leave Xu Yu, he will be weak. If we can send a light army, we can launch a surprise attack."

"Then he will be allowed to pull it out and capture it."

"Even if they haven't collapsed yet, we can make them run for their lives, and we will definitely defeat them!"

Xu You confidently stated his plan.

He was not slacking off these days, but was also intent on observing the Henan Army camp.

He keenly noticed that whether it was Liu's army camp or Cao's army camp.

In order to make up for the wounded or for personnel transfers, new people continued to enter the Guandu camp.

This also means that Henan’s rear must be empty.

"The Henan army has been fighting with our army for a long time, so there is no need for you to attack them again."

"Hurry up and divide the troops among you to hold it, and go straight to the emperor through another road, and the matter will be accomplished immediately."

Seeing that his plan did not attract Yuan Shao's attention, Xu You immediately changed his plan.

It is also a good strategy to divide our forces, plunder Chen territory and seize the emperor.

As long as the emperor was gone, Cao and Liu would lose their greatest advantage in public opinion, namely:
——"Following the emperor's clear edict, we raise an army of righteousness to fight the enemy."

Originally, the people of Yuzhou supported the Yuan family. Once the emperor was lost, everyone would believe even more that the Mandate of Heaven was with the Yuan family.

However, no matter which strategy is used, the core points remain unchanged.

That means we have to divide our forces and attack from the rear.

Yuan Shao's face remained calm and he said calmly:

"I will first surround and capture them, and Cao and Liu will fall on their own."

"Why divide the troops?"

Xu Youwan did not expect Yuan Shao to refuse so decisively, and hurriedly said:

"Mingsir, if you don't take it now, you will be harmed in the future."

Yuan Shao was furious and shouted:

"Are you cursing me?"

Xu You was terrified and apologized repeatedly.

Yuan Shao's anger subsided a little, but he still did not adopt Xu You's strategy.

Xu You could only nod and retreat.

As for Yuan Shao, did he know that Xu You's strategy of dividing the troops was a good one?
The answer is yes.

Since the biggest advantage of the Hebei Army is its large number of people, dividing the troops to attack the Henan Army from behind is definitely the best strategy.

But Yuan Shao didn't need to do this.

Because the Henan Army has reached the end of its strength.

Since the enemy had run out of food, he only had to wait a few more days to win.

Why would he go to such trouble and take the risk of sending light cavalry to launch a roundabout attack?

This is a flaw in Yuan Shao's character, "He is willing to do great things but cherishes his own life."

After dismissing Xu You, Yuan Shao came and opened the letter from Shen Pei.

It turns out that the book mentioned that when Xu You was in Jizhou, he often accepted money and property from the people.

Moreover, he made his sons and nephews pay heavy taxes, and all the money and grain went into his own pockets.

Shen Pei then imprisoned Xu You's family and several others, waiting for Yuan Shao to return and decide their fate.

This was a counterattack launched by Shen Pei, a member of the Hebei faction, against Xu You, who was from Henan.

That is, he took advantage of Xu You's presence at the Guandu front to steal home.

Shen Pei not only collected all the evidence of Xu You's corruption and bribery over the years, but also acted with swift force.

After the news was blocked, all of his family members were arrested and imprisoned, and they were prohibited from informing Xu You.

Then the collected evidence was sent to Yuan Shao's case.

After reading the letter, Yuan Shao became furious:
"Abusive man!"

"Do you still have the nerve to offer me advice?"

When Guo Tu first arrived, he asked the reason and said:

"I'm afraid Shen Pei deliberately framed me. I hope Mr. Yuan will not believe it."

Since Xu You had already been brought to the camp of Yuan Tan's eldest son, Guo Tu still came forward to say a few good words for Xu You.

However, Yuan Shao threw the evidence in front of Guo Tu.

"See for yourself!"

"This Xu You not only embezzled and accepted bribes in Wuye, he even secretly accepted bribes from Li Yi!"

"What? Li Yi's?"

Guo Tu opened his eyes wide, unable to believe his ears.

Who is Li Yi?

The governors of the two armies are Yuan Gong’s mortal enemy!
Brother Xu, Brother Xu, why are you so confused?

You even dare to ask for this money!
Guo Tu also wanted to confirm whether Xu You was really that brave.

But in the face of ironclad evidence, Guo Tu no longer dared to speak for Xu You.

Because if he continued talking, Guo Tu himself would be implicated.

"……snort."

Yuan Shao's face turned pale and he was extremely angry.

"I guess Xu You must have an old relationship with Li Yi, so he gave me advice just now."

"I think he has accepted bribes and is acting as a spy for him, hoping to lure our troops into our territory."

"I will bring him to justice. As the military supervisor, you should investigate this matter immediately!"

Guo Tu was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself that it was an indisputable fact that Xu You had accepted bribes from Li Yi.

Logically speaking, this kind of situation should result in beheading.

Why does Yuan Shao want me to investigate?

However, since the situation had taken a turn for the better, Guo Tu accepted the order and withdrew.

On this side, Xu You returned to the tent and saw that his strategy was not used by Yuan Shao. Instead, he blamed Yuan Shao a little.

He paced back and forth in the tent, sulking.

Suddenly someone reported that there was a guest who wanted to see him.

"Are there any guests?" Xu You put his hands behind his back and frowned, "A call?"

"From the south."

After the attendant finished answering, he added, "Sir, the North and the South are at loggerheads right now, and it is a time of great trouble."

"Since this foreign guest is from the south, it is better not to meet him."

"nonsense!"

Xu You waved his hand and shouted:
"Haven't you heard that it is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar?"

"In front of my Xu You, there is absolutely no reason to turn away guests from thousands of miles away!"

So he ordered someone to invite the foreign guest in.

After a while, an old man dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat slowly entered the camp.

"…Who are you?"

Xu You looked at the old man again and again, and was sure that he did not know him.

The old man immediately bowed and said:
"Liangzhou Jia Xu, meet Mr. Xu."

Although Jia Xu is a low-key person, he is actually very famous.

When he was young, he became famous for playing tricks on the Di people.

When Li Jue and Guo Si rebelled, Jia Xu was once ranked as Guanglu Dafu.

This is the result of Jia Xu keeping a low profile.

Because at the beginning Li Jue and Guo Si wanted to confer the title of nobility on Jia Xu and make him the head of all officials.

However, they were all rejected by Jia Xu.

Jia Xu is now over fifty years old. From the perspective of future generations, we know that the highlight of his life has just begun.

But in fact, he has already achieved success and fame now.

Even Xu You, who was born in Nanyang and earned his salary in Hebei, knew Jia Xu's reputation.

"It turns out to be Mr. Wenhe. I have heard of your name for a long time."

"Please take a seat, please take a seat."

Xu You respected Jia Xu as an elder and invited him to sit down.

Jia Xu bowed again before taking his seat.

"I am sorry to be rude to ask to see Mr. Xu today." After saying this, he took out a brocade box from his sleeve.

"A mere gift is not respectful."

"I dedicate this to Mr. Xu today as an apology for disturbing you so late at night."

"I hope Mr. Xu won't despise me."

Xu You glanced at the things in the box, his eyes slightly changed, and he immediately smiled and said:
"What is Mr. Wenhe doing?"

"You are too polite. You are too polite."

Having said this, he calmly put the brocade box into his sleeve.

Jia Xu's mouth curled up slightly, and he sighed:

"I was born in Liangzhou, and I have never seen such exquisite things."

Xu You's expression changed slightly, and he asked hurriedly:

"What? Judging from Mr. Wenhe's tone, this thing doesn't belong to him?"

"……good."

Jia Xu nodded and admitted generously:

"This item was given to you by an old friend of Mr. Xu."

"Old friend?"

Xu You frowned and thought carefully about his old friends.
In Hebei, he took advantage of his power and had many friends who came to him to give him gifts.

He also couldn't remember how many old friends he had.

"... Oh, look at my memory."

"I have been so busy with military affairs recently that I can't remember which old friend Xu has in Guandu."

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed, and he replied word by word:

"This person is of high status. He is the current Henan strategist and the governor of the two armies."

"Li Yi, also known as Li Ziyu."

hiss……

Hearing Li Yi's name, Xu You was so surprised that he stood up immediately.

He stepped forward and covered Jia Xu's mouth, and whispered:

"Sir, be careful with your words! Sir, be careful with your words!"

The two armies are now at war, and Li Yi is Yuan Gong's mortal enemy.

For a person with such a sensitive identity, Jia Xu said that he had an old relationship with Xu You.

Although this is true, it cannot be said openly.

Jia Xu smiled slightly, looked Xu You up and down, and sighed:
"I see that Mr. Xu seems to be full of confidence, but it seems that he is not having a good time here?"

Xu You was shocked that Jia Xu saw through his thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh:

"...Alas, sir, you have a keen eye, as if you were seeing through fire."

"Honest advice is unpleasant to the ear, and a fool is not worthy of being consulted."

"Mr. Yuan did not use my plan to attack Yingchuan and Chen, which has led me to this poverty."

Jia Xu pretended to be surprised:
"To be honest with you, Mr. Xu, I just passed by the Allied camp and saw Li Yi himself."

"He talked to me for a few words and revealed many details of the military camp to me."

"If Lord Yuan was willing to accept Mr. Xu's plan, the Henan Army would have been defeated."

"Sir, you can go see Mr. Yuan again and explain this matter."

Xu You shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Useless, useless."

"Mr. Yuan has already rejected my good advice. Even if I see him again, I will not use it."

"...It's a pity."

Jia Xu sighed, looked at Xu You, and said with emotion:

"Your talent is ten times better than mine."

"I am over fifty years old, half of my body has already gone to the ground, I am useless now."

"It's just that I see a young man like Ziyuan, who has amazing talent, but has no wise leader, and his plans are not put to good use."

"It makes me deeply saddened."

Jia Xu's words were very inspiring, and Xu You was also moved when he heard them.

He felt good about himself and his strategies were not adopted.

At this moment, Xu You really felt that his talent was not appreciated.

"The world is in chaos, and it's hard to find a wise leader."

Xu You looked up and sighed deeply.

"……Hahaha."

Jia Xu stroked his goatee and said, "Today, the north and the south are at loggerheads, with two heroes vying for supremacy."

"I heard that Cao Sikong is an old friend of Mr. Xu, and General Liu is also courteous to scholars."

"Not to mention that Li Yi, the current Henan strategist, is an old acquaintance of Mr. Xu."

"In that case, why does Mr. Xu still say that it is difficult to meet a wise leader?"

This……

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Xu You's heart was moved.

In recent years, Xu You has received many gifts from Li Yi.

He would send people to send gifts during every festival, and even when his own horse gave birth to a foal, he would send gifts to congratulate.

Even someone as greedy as Xu You felt a little embarrassed.

He also sent someone to prepare some gifts to send back to Li Yi.

Although the two were "pen pals", it is impossible to say that Xu You had no feelings for Li Yi.

After all, with the frequency of Li Yi's gift giving, even a stone would be warmed up.

Based on Li Yi's military status in Henan, Xu You dared to bet that he would really join the Henan Army.

He will definitely be valued by the Henan Army.

"……Ugh."

Xu You sighed again and shook his hand at Jia Xu, expressing his helplessness.

"It's not that I don't remember the old friendship."

"But You's parents, wife, children, brothers and sisters are all in Hebei."

"The lives of the whole family, young and old, all depend on the Yuan family."

"If You goes to the Henan camp, how can you face your relatives in Jizhou again?"

As soon as Xu You finished his sigh, he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside the tent.

Xu You was shocked and hurried out of the tent to see.

"What's the commotion in the military camp?"

"... Sir, General Guo is here with his men!"

Guo Tu is here?

And you brought soldiers with you?

Xu You was shocked and angry, but thought to himself that he had already formed an alliance with him and there was no reason for him to make things difficult for himself.

Then he turned to Jia Xu and asked him to wait a moment.

He went to meet Guo Tu.

"General Guo, you brought so many soldiers to Xu's camp late at night. I wonder what you are doing here?"

"Hey, you, you!"

Guo Tu gnashed his teeth, looking very disappointed with Xu You, and pointed at his nose and cursed:
"You are so confused!"

"I was so blind that I chose you to work with me!"

Xu You was scolded and felt confused. He spread his hands to indicate that he had no idea what the military inspector meant.

Guo Tu took out the document and threw it heavily on Xu You's face:

"Just watch!"

After reading the document, Xu You was shocked.

"What can I say about you? It's fine that you usually embezzle and accept bribes. After all, everyone knows that you love money."

"But you are so bold that you dare to accept money from Li Yi?"

"He is Lord Yuan's great enemy, don't you know that?"

Xu You was even more shocked when he heard this.

He knew very well that Li Yi's money was not easy to take, so he kept it strictly confidential.

Who leaked it?

However, now is not the time to look for spies.

Xu You broke out in a cold sweat and tremblingly explained:

"...Unfair, unfair, the military supervisor is wronged!"

"It is true that Xu was bribed by Li Yi, but that was before the war."

"Since the beginning of the battle, I swear to heaven that I have never received any bribe from Li Yi!"

Guo Tu laughed angrily, thinking to himself, how dare you say that.

From what you said, it means that you were still exchanging letters with Li Yi before the war, right?
You, Xu You, are a wise man, but how come you are treated like a monkey by a young boy?

He is the chief strategist of Henan, and you are the chief strategist of Hebei.

Do you think it is appropriate for you to contact him before the war, or even accept money from him?

"Who believes it?"

"Now that the evidence is irrefutable, Lord Yuan sent me to arrest you!"

Guo Tu threatened Xu You viciously.

Yuan Shao only asked Guo Tu to investigate Xu You, and did not order him to be arrested.

Guo Tu said this deliberately, just wanting to take this opportunity to warn Xu You.

Otherwise this kid will not know the seriousness of the matter and do something wrong.

Xu You was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and he asked again:
"What about my relatives in Jizhou?"

"They were all taken to jail by the judge."

Guo Tu's words were realistic, and he added in a fierce voice:

"You still have the mind to care about others, but you should think about yourself first!"

As he said this, he poked Xu You's forehead with his finger.

When Xu You heard that his family had been murdered, his face turned pale, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground.

"Hey you!"

Guo Tu quickly reached out to support him, coughed twice, and said seriously:

"...Okay, fortunately, as the military supervisor, I can temporarily not ask you about your crimes."

"But you need to stay out of the spotlight these few days and don't get in the way of Lord Yuan."

"Wait a couple of days, when Mr. Yuan is in a better mood, I will say a few good words for you."

"This matter is over."

Guo Tu was complacent. He took this opportunity not only to pressure Xu You, but also to do him a favor.

Xu You will definitely be grateful to me and will be better able to control myself in the future.

After defeating Cao and Liu and unifying Henan, it is estimated that Yuan Gong's health will soon be failing.

At that time, Guo Tu will have to win over all the forces he can.

Fully support the eldest son Yuan Tan to take the throne!
"……call."

Xu You took a long time to calm down before his eyes gradually became firm and he regained his former spirit.

But cold sweat still covered his face.

“…Okay, okay, okay!”

"I promise that I will never appear before Lord Yuan again!"

Xu You gritted his teeth and his eyes were almost bloodshot.

Guo Tu thought that he was determined and was very satisfied, so he said:

"Okay, I'll go back first."

"You can do it yourself."

Having said this, he led the people behind him and left.

After Guo Tu was completely gone, Xu You returned to his tent.

When he saw Jia Xu, he knelt down immediately.

"…I would like to follow your advice, sir!"

Although Jia Xu is old, his hearing is still good.

I was hiding in the tent just now and heard the conversation between Guo Tu and Xu You clearly.

Therefore, when Xu You returned to the camp, Jia Xu had already anticipated this situation.

"……hehe."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled, but didn't say much.

The silence speaks.

……

Guandu, the Allied camp.

War horses, one after another, quietly entered Li Yi's camp.

Inside the camp, soldiers kept carrying firewood and piling it up in the camp, forming a mountain of wood.

Zhao Yun was accompanying Li Yi, and was still deeply shocked when he saw so many things.

"Sir, you prepared so much firewood. Are you planning to rob the camp?"

Li Yi stood with his hands behind his back. Logically speaking, this was the most critical moment.

But Li Yi still showed his usual confident smile, and said half-jokingly:
"Zilong has made great progress."

"Which camp are you going to rob, sir?"

“It’s not certain yet.”

Li Yi shook his head.

"Not sure?!"

Zhao Yun was shocked. "Why did you prepare so much firewood so late at night?"

"...Haha, this firewood is not enough."

Li Yi patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and ordered:

"Zilong, take your men to prepare some more small wooden sticks. Make sure the number is no less than 5,000."

"Then order the soldiers to tie some straw ropes, the number of which must be no less than 5,000."

"It must be ready within an hour."

"Here."

Zhao Yun didn't dare to ask more questions, for he knew that the military advisor was always right in what he did.

As a subordinate, all you have to do is obey orders.

"……call."

Li Yi blew out a breath of cold air and looked up at the sky.

His brows began to frown, and his eyes were as deep and unfathomable as the darkness.

He would only show this expression when there was no one around him.

The biggest problem troubling the Allied forces now is self-confidence, so Li Yi always shows a confident face in front of the soldiers.

This made them firmly believe that this battle could be won.

Relying on the reputation Li Yi had accumulated in recent years, everyone had firm confidence in the war when they saw his calm and confident smile.

At least I can use my willpower to hold on a little longer.

When everyone was strengthening their confidence, only Li Yi was clear.

His forced calmness was like wetting his pants.

People outside may think it’s lively, but only you know the warmth in it.

It is not easy to win this battle. Li Yi has been walking on thin ice with every step he has taken so far.

He closed his eyes and waited quietly.

Suddenly, someone reported that Jia Xu had returned.

Li Yi opened his eyes and asked hurriedly:

“How many people came back?”

“It’s two people!”

Li Yi was overjoyed and almost ran out of the camp, which was rare.

"Mr. Wenhe!"

As soon as Li Yiyi came out of the camp, he saw Jia Xu, but his eyes were behind him.

“Ziyuan!!”

Li Yi laughed and walked forward, hugging Xu You.

"Ziyuan, why are you so late?"

……
