To be honest, it was a situation that no one in Yunyang expected Karpass to join Li Yi.
Including Li Yi himself.
His first reaction was that there was definitely something wrong with Karpass. There is no unreasonable love or unreasonable hatred in the world. The hatred between Karpath and him is not something that can be put down at all, so when the situation was tense before, he just tried to persuade the southern frontier army to join his camp. Never held out any hope for Karpass to the east.
Unexpectedly, he did not send an envoy to contact Karpass, but Karpass himself sent it to his door.
When the news arrived, Li Yi was sitting in the lord's mansion leading a boring life. Although Lingyun City is still prosperous, many territories temporarily suspended trade with Yunyang during the war, and Liyi hasn't gotten anything new for a long time. The documents on the table were piled up as high as a hill, and he would look through them in the first few days of his succession, and saw that most of them were bad news, and he didn't bother to read them after losing his temper a few times.
"The eastern frontier army is willing to join us...Fart, I don't know what their tone is? I pushed him, let him stay there honestly, dare to act rashly, be careful that I withdraw his military authority."
Li Yi waved his hand and dismissed the envoy who came to deliver the letter.
But as soon as the envoy left, Asilante, the general of the northern frontier army, stepped over the threshold and walked in. This person is now helping Liyi defend the city, Liyi didn't dare to be contemptuous anymore, so he hurriedly sat up straight, coughed twice pretendingly, and asked:
"Is something wrong?"
Asilante is about forty-five years old this year, and because of his martial arts practice, he looks younger. His half-white hair was tied into a small braid at the back of his head, and his eyes were sharp. After seeing Li Yi, he cupped his fists and said:
"My lord, I heard that the eastern frontier army intends to conquer Yuxi City, and my subordinates think this is a good opportunity."
Li Yi was silent for a while in embarrassment, and replied stubbornly:
"They're unreliable."
Asilante shook his head and said:
"It has nothing to do with whether they are reliable or not. Takis of the southern frontier army, his subordinates have already sent someone to ask. Although he has not received a clear answer, judging from the information reported by the people sent by his subordinates, Takis is currently The attitude of Takis should be more inclined to Yuxi City. To put it bluntly... unless the lord personally orders it, Takis is likely to fall to Yuxi City."
Li Yi frowned slightly.
The phrase "Lord Lord" that Asilante said obviously did not refer to him, but to his father who was still unconscious.
Although the northern frontier army agreed that Li Yi temporarily sat on the position of Lord of Yunyang and gave orders, but including Asilante, everyone still would not call him "Lord Lord" in private. Thinking of this, Li Yi felt a thorn in his heart, but now Asilante was the only military boss he could rely on, Li Yi could only endure it silently even if he felt uncomfortable.
Asilante continued:
"If there is no Yuxi City, this subordinate will not persuade Sir to reach a cooperation with the Eastern Frontier Army. Although this subordinate does not know what is wrong between Sir and Karpass, we really have no other choice at present. From the current situation Look, if we still defend passively, even if we drag down the other brothers of the lord, we will eventually let those people in Yuxi City take advantage of it."
Li Yi snorted and said disdainfully:
"50,000 people... 50,000 people just want to take Yunyang? Give him another 100,000 people, will he dare to fight to the capital? Don't make such a fuss, Karpass, I know my four people better than you Brother. He is just a dandy with no ambitions, and he can't play for a few days."
Asilant wanted to say something else, but Li Yi shook his head, sighed, and continued:
"Back then he caught me by chance, and he could have extorted more from my father. But in fact? One of the lowest-ranking newcomers in my envoy group went to scare him casually, and he let him go. My Fourth brother, you are actually very timid, if you really let him manage such a large area, he can't sleep well."
Asilante didn't know much about Lied. He spends most of his time in the north fighting Zhaochen's territory, and he pays less attention to some things inside Yunyang. Seeing what Liyi said, he didn't refute it, but he still vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but say another sentence:
"But recently many young masters of Yunyang have been defeated by him..."
Li Yi snorted coldly and said:
"That's why I say that my brothers are a bunch of trash. The army that is several times larger than the opponent is still battered, what is it if it is not trash? Didn't you also defeat their army many times with fewer enemies? No matter how strong the army in Yuxi City is, can it still be as strong as you frontier troops? Then don't mess around, the army that has been trained for so long can't defeat a group of new recruits, so the previous battles were not fought in vain."
After Li Yi finished speaking, he felt that the words were a bit heavy, so he quickly changed the subject:
"Besides, my fourth brother won't be able to defend even if he takes down a few cities. He was removed from Yunyang's genealogy by my father a long time ago, and now he is an outsider. Don't look at him having a good time now, wait for him Slowly they can't move anymore, and the rear will be chaotic. The people of our Yunyang can still watch an outsider ride on their heads? He can't support so many people. When a few uprisings happen, he That bit of strength will soon be exhausted."
Asilante frowned, remained silent for a while, and said:
"Since this is the case, I still feel that it is better to let the eastern frontier army go. The first is to test the combat effectiveness of the Yuxi City army, and the second is to make them collapse faster. It is a time of war. It’s too easy to mix into the city they control, and I don’t know what’s going on there. It’s better to let Karpass fight a game, so we can rest assured.”
Li Yi said coldly:
"Then what if Karpass joins Yuxi City? Maybe they have already talked about it!"
Asilante shook his head and said firmly:
"My lord, our Yunyang frontier army, including the southern frontier Takis, have their own faults, but at least they are all loyal to Yunyang. Takis still regards Lide as the real flesh and blood of Lord Yunyang, So he is still observing who is more worthy of allegiance. I chose my lord to stand on the orthodox side of Yunyang. And Karpas, to put it more extreme, is absolutely loyal to the lord. The lord kicked Lide out of the house , then Karpass will regard the Eastern Expedition of Yuxi City as an invasion of foreign enemies."
Asilante looked at Li Yi, took a deep breath, and said:
"If your lord is still not at ease, you can first order Karpass to attack the other Young Masters of Yunyang, and instead of going to Lingyun City, open a road from the southern area to attack Yuxi City. Also, if Karpass really and Yuxi City Xicheng has reached a cooperation, so whether we allow him to attack Yuxicheng...is there any point?"
Li Yi froze for a moment, then waved his hand irritably, motioning for Asilante to deal with the matter.
He himself sat down on the chair, looking at the documents requesting disaster relief on the table, the more he thought about it, the more angry he was, he slapped a big red cross and threw it aside.
