What the barbarians are best at running between the mountains. After Liu Yi accelerated the marching speed, the marching speed increased a little. It took two days to complete the road in one day, allowing Liu Yi to see the strong physical fitness of the barbarians.

In addition to the ruthless and cold land, people who grow up in their bones are also stronger than ordinary people. Liu Yi found that Nanzhong is really a treasure land, not only with a large amount of unexploited resources, but also a good source of troops. It can be seen from this barbarian soldier who has not been trained. If you train carefully for one or two years and cooperate with the attributes of the military camp and school grounds, why worry about not being able to train a strong soldier?

Ma Su's face was a little pale. Liu Yi was in a strong body and was not too tired when he marched like this for a long distance. But for Ma Su, even though the military camp at night had the attribute of restoring energy, he still couldn't stand it.

"Come in the car and sit for a while. I'll ride a horse, don't show off." Liu Yi looked at Ma Su's somewhat dry lips and shook his head, telling him not to show off.

Although I haven't called half a word of pain along the way, I've spent all my energy on resisting fatigue, so how can I make suggestions?

"Thank you, Marquis Ting!" Ma Su hesitated for a moment and thanked Liu Yi. Liu Yi got off the carriage and rode a war horse. His riding skills are good now, at least he can still do it when he is on the road.

Recruiting the guide: "How many days will it be before Jianning?"

"At the current speed, you will be able to reach Wei County tomorrow." Wei County is located in the south of Zhuti, which is considered to be the border between the two counties, but there are more than 300 miles of mountains in the middle. Except for the barbarians living in the mountains, there are no other places for humans to gather.

"How many days will it take to go to Dianchi Lake?" Liu Yi frowned when he heard this.

"It is two hundred miles from Wei County to Dianchi Lake, and the road is much easier to walk. You can reach it in three days of marching!" said the guide.

"Husband is going to take Dianchi directly?" Lu Lingqi saw Liu Yi change his horse and rode his horse to him and looked at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi nodded and said, "This time we came to suppress the rebellion. We have great righteousness. If we attack the city, this urgent march will lose its meaning. After Dianchi Lake, the other counties dare not move around. If they move, they will be a crime of rebellion."

"If you can catch Yong Kai to punish him, you can be shocked." Lu Lingqi smiled.

"I don't want him to be caught." Liu Yi shook his head and expressed his opinion: "Although it is a bit unkind, the matter in Nanzhong is solved and murder is inevitable. Yong Kai is alive and can gather those people together and deal with it. But if he is beaten to death, the others will inevitably retreat, which will be even more difficult to deal with. It is okay to use the method of Zhuti County once, but it will not be good if he uses it again. We have kindness and can control some of the Zhuti barbarians. The barbarians in the other four counties are not so easy to control. Once it is messed up, it will be really messed up."

Simply put, Liu Yi came here this time to kill people, and he had to kill a lot of them. He needed a legitimate reason to kill people, so he didn't want Yong Kai to die so quickly, at least he had to pull away the people he should have, so that the enemy and us would go from the original vague state to a sharp and confrontation state.

"Report~" A scout came to Liu Yi's side and did not dismount. This was Liu Yi's rule. He handed a bamboo slip in his hand to Liu Yi and said, "Jianning urgently!"

Ma Su, who had already entered the carriage to rest, poked his head out of the carriage and looked at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi reached out to take the bamboo slips and unfolded them. This time the bamboo slips were not much, but they were very unhappy.

"Marquis Ting?" Ma Su called out lightly.

Liu Yi shook his head and handed the bamboo slip to Ma Su.

The bamboo slips record the whole process of Yong Kai's rebellion and killing Zheng'ang. If you are full of righteous indignation, it would not be that he and Zheng'ang have no intersection, and it is not about himself. It is a bit pretentious to say that it is so sad, but it is indeed a bit uncomfortable in his heart. After all, Zheng'ang refused to follow this matter. It can be seen that this is a very principled person. Liu Yi would not be such a person, but he really admires such a person in his heart.

"It seems that Yong Kai has begun to plan a rebellion." Ma Su looked at Liu Yi and said in a deep voice.

"Yeah." Liu Yi nodded, it was obvious.

Ma Su thought for a while and said, "Although it is not very good, this matter is beneficial to us, so it is just for this reason."

"It's true." Liu Yi nodded, looked at Ma Su and said, "It's just that you're a little too cold-blooded."

Ma Su's mouth twitched when he heard this and got back into the car. What does this matter have to do with cold blood?

...

After Yong Kai killed Zheng'an, he knew that he had no way out. He forced himself to recruit private soldiers from various families, and sent people to contact Zhu Bao, Gao Ding and Yongchang prefect Wang Kang, hoping that the three families could use troops together. Not to mention destroying Liu Bei, but at least he would have to separatist Nanzhong and become independent. At the same time, he also sent envoys to Cao Wei and Eastern Wu to hope to obtain the support of these two families.

After Liu Yi's troops passed through Wei County, it was naturally difficult to hide their whereabouts. Someone quickly went to inform Yong Kai, but the county town along the way was as Liu Yi expected, and he did not dare to rashly stop Liu Yi's troops.

On the 19th day of the first lunar month, Yong Kai received news that Liu Yi's troops were invading the territory and quickly sent people to transfer the troops from all over the country. In just a short while, how could the troops be transferred?

On the third day after receiving the news, Liu Yi's troops were already at the city, and in Jianning City, Yong Kai just temporarily put together some private soldiers of the family. Jianning's troops were mostly scattered in various places to suppress the barbarians and would not be concentrated in the county town. Even if Yong Kai persuaded each family, he had only gathered 6,000 troops. Without knowing the fact that Liu Yi was in fact, he did not dare to go out of the city to fight without authorization.

"Don't worry, Liu Yi came from afar, and he was in a hurry all the way. The soldiers would be exhausted and unable to attack the city. They would definitely not attack the city today. We only need to defend the city for a few days, and wait for reinforcements from all over the country to attack inside and outside, and the enemy would be defeated." The aide said firmly.

Lu Yuan, who was standing beside him, was also a little nervous. He looked at the army that appeared in sight in the smoke and dust in the distance, and was a little nervous. However, after listening to the analysis of the staff, he felt it was reasonable and he felt much more relaxed at the moment. No matter what, Liu Yi's name was still a bit deterrent.

Yong Kai nodded and looked at the smoke and dust in the distance. Liu Yi's army had gradually become clear in his sight. The 5,000 troops brought not too much shock.

The staff was also a little confused. It was unlikely that Liu Yi brought this little man and came to attack the city, right?

"This must be Liu Yi's pioneer!" Lu Yuan said in a deep voice. He knew that Liu Yi had transferred Jian Wei's troops, but how many people had been transferred there? Lu Yuan didn't know, but it was definitely more than that.

Yong Kai nodded. He also tended to be more likely. He said to a general: "Be careful to guard the city. If the enemy comes to fight, he doesn't have to pay attention to him."

Anyway, before the reinforcements arrived, Yong Kai was not ready to send troops. After all, Liu Yi was a good warrior. No matter how his military style was, it was a fact that he had never lost the war.

"Here!" the general nodded and agreed.

Yong Kai no longer paid attention to that army. In his opinion, the other party's chances of siegeing the city today are not very likely. He has to hurry back to the city and persuade those people to give him some private soldiers in the mansion. Now the number of people in the city always feels that it is not very stable, at least tens of thousands of people are required.

...

Dianchi Lake is much stronger than Zhuti, at least with bricks and tiles. Unlike Zhuti, it is just a city. Liu Yi came to the city under the escort of Wei Yue and Chen Ergou to observe carefully.

"Marquis Ting, do you want to fight?" Wei Yue looked at Liu Yi.

"Of course we have to fight." Liu Yi nodded: "The longer you drag, the more unfavorable it is for us. Look at the defenders on the city wall, the defense is not too tight. Obviously, they don't think we will attack the city immediately. We will do the opposite and catch him off guard. You take people to camp, paralyze the enemy, pull the components of the siege equipment I brought, and assemble them immediately!"

Dianchi Lake should be the weakest time now. If you rest and fight again, the meaning of your rushing march will be gone. Although the wall of Dianchi Lake is thicker than Zhu, it is only relatively high. The wall is more than two zhang (1 zhang in Han is 2.23 meters). Compared with the cities in the Central Plains, it is impossible to even compare with a county town, which naturally reduces the difficulty of siege. In addition, the troops I brought this time are all well-equipped barbarians. If you cooperate with the siege equipment, it is most likely to break through the city when the defenders are relaxed.

Wei Yue and Chen Ergou took the order and left.

Seeing that the defenders began to set up camp here, they did relax. But in fact, Liu Yi ordered people to quickly assemble the ladder and the city rushing car. When the twilight was getting late and the soldiers guarding the city were preparing to change the guard, the ladder and the city rushing car began to slowly move towards the city wall. At the same time, the fully armed barbarians also began to push towards the city wall with their shields.

"No, the enemy attacks!"

The guard general was loyal to react at this time and quickly ordered the trumpeter to blew the trumpet. The soldiers who had been waiting for the change of duty were now standing behind the female wall in a hurry and began to prepare to take the enemy, but it was difficult to adjust for the loose state for a while.

The ladder was built on the top of the city wall, hooked the female wall, and could not be pushed open. The sparse clusters of arrows fell down. Even if they hit someone, they were mostly bounced away by armor, but more were blocked by shields.

By the time the troops from the other cities were transferred, Liu Yi's barbarians had already stepped onto the ladder and charged towards the city wall.

"Roar~"

The barbarian soldier let out a violent roar, stepped on the female wall, and jumped high. The shield in his hand, taking advantage of the downward inertia, smashed the city guards in front of him, and directly burst the opponent's brains.
