"Your Majesty, now the puppet Wei general Cao Zhen has sent 20,000 troops from Guanzhong and has joined forces with Guo Huai of Yong County."

Li Yan's deputy general Hu Ye reported the battle situation to Li Yan. At this time, the Wei army was already heading here.

"At the same time, we discovered that thousands of Qiang and Hu cavalry entered Yongzhou from the north. They seemed to be Qiang and Hu people borrowed by Guo Huai."

"Really? It seems that Cao Zhen is a little too proud." Li Yan stroked his beard and mocked Cao Zhen happily.

Cao Zhen did not give up on recapturing Chencang and sent 20,000 troops in one go. Moreover, they also borrowed thousands of Qiang and Hu cavalry from the north, equivalent to almost 40,000 soldiers and horses.

Li Yan's mess of soldiers and horses only totaled more than 20,000, and he was defending Chencang, a dangerous city in the world. Relying on only 40,000 soldiers and horses to recapture Chencang from Li Yan is somewhat overestimating.

"I must personally command the Chinese army in this battle and use my troops to overwhelm the Wei army!" Li Yan was high-spirited and prepared to defeat the Wei army with less and more.

Don’t they all say that Ma Di is the mighty general? Can’t I, Li Yan, be the same?

When I was suppressing the rebellion in the middle of Shu, you, Ma Su, were still studying the art of war at home. As for his three-legged cat strategy, Li Yan completely looked down upon him.

This time, Li Yan will use his true talents to imitate the Wei army to establish his prestige in Longyou!

Once he has enough prestige, he can successfully implement the land equalization method and gain enough prestige to compete with Zhuge Liang.

Li Yan has already imagined the scenario where he replaces Zhuge Liang and takes over the power of Shu Han.

It's...fantasy time!

It is worth mentioning that although Li Yan planned to implement the land equalization method, he still planned to make a fortune from it.

Basically, the amount of land per person had to be cut in half. Since the remaining wasteland had no owner, it naturally belonged to him, Li Yan.

As for the powerful nobles in Longyou who were attacked, Li Yan didn't care about their feelings at all.

By pulling together one faction and fighting another, the powerful nobles who were united to resist the land equalization law were basically divided within themselves. Li Yan could easily force them to give up their farmland without daring to have any thoughts of resistance.

Just Ma Su, he almost lost his life for this little thing. He is such a waste and ridiculous.

"General, the vanguard of the Wei army is about to cross the Lishui River. Do we need to send troops to harass them?" Hu Ye handed over his hand and reported to Li Yan again.

"Harassment? Where did the cavalry come from to harass?" Li Yan snorted and shook his head.

"Let's prepare for war honestly. We don't have that much strength to divide our troops."

The Shu Han Dynasty was extremely short of cavalry, otherwise Zhuge Liang would not have been forced to develop the Zhuge Liannu. When Zhuge Liang returned to Longyou, he took all the cavalry away.

Now the only person in Longyou with large-scale cavalry is Ma Su. He, Li Yangang, had a falling out with Ma Su, and even if Li Yan cooperated with him regardless of past grudges, Ma Su would not agree.

Just when Li Yan was about to make the next arrangement, the guards suddenly came in to report.

"General, Fenwei General Ma Di suddenly rushed back with a hundred men of Qingqi, and is now outside asking for a meeting."

"Ma Su? He still thinks that the conflict with me is not deep enough, right?" When he mentioned Ma Su, Li Yan's face suddenly turned dark. He can still feel the slap that this bastard slapped him.

Isn't this guy getting more and more angry when he goes back, so he plans to come back and slap him again?

"See you, see you! Tell him to get out of here!" Li Yan waved his hands repeatedly, driving him away like a plague.

"If he still has the energy to quarrel with me, he might as well take the initiative to go to Lianshui and fight with the Wei people. After all, he is a famous scholar in Jingxiang, how can he do it casually like a local ruffian!"

For Ma Su, Li Yan was aggrieved. Normally, it would be impossible for Ma Su to defeat him. With Li Yan's ability to lead troops all year round, he was not afraid of Ma Su at all.

But he, Ma Di, doesn't talk about martial arts. The two of them were still talking, but Ma Di suddenly came up and slapped them.

Come to cheat, come to sneak attack, I am an old comrade in my fifties!

But Li Yan couldn't slap him back at that time, otherwise it would make things worse for him.

Forget it, don't interfere too much with this ungentlemanly guy, otherwise Ma Di might be ready to stab him with a sword.

"General, General Fenwei said that he has a letter from Chengdu for you, so..." the guard hesitated and continued.

"A letter from Chengdu? What are Zhuge Liang's plans?" Li Yan squinted his eyes, feeling something was not quite right.

Didn't Zhuge Liang just let Ma Su brainstorm the logistics camp to attack his prestige? Why did he make another move so soon? Which side of his face were you planning to slap this time?

"Forget it, let him in." Li Yan frowned, thought for a while and then said.

When he doesn't have the prestige and strength to stage a coup, it's better not to have too many conflicts with Zhuge Liang.

After receiving Li Yan's order, the personal guards brought Ma Su in. Among them, Shu Ji wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by the guards.

Not just anyone could enter the Chinese army's tent, so Shu Ji could only wait outside.

"General..." Shu Ji was a little nervous and looked at Ma Di with questioning eyes.

With Ma Su's current injury, it was completely wishful thinking to kill Li Yan alone. If Shu Ji is not allowed in, there is basically no chance of success if only Ma Su is allowed in.

So Shu Ji signaled to Ma Su whether he wanted to go in directly.

"Shu Ji, wait outside and bring your things with you." Ma Su shook his head at him and said lightly.

"If you have any questions, it's not too late to ask."

"Don't forget my letter to General Wang."

After saying that, Ma Di walked into the military tent alone with his sword to face his mission.

For Ma Su, the assassination of Li Yan this time was indeed a narrow escape, but a slight mistake would affect the fate of the Han Dynasty.

But there was no way, Ma Su could only find a way by himself.

It was not about how to assassinate Li Yan, but how to severely injure Li Yan before he was killed.

But as soon as he walked into the military tent, Ma Su's heart dropped.

There were not only Li Yan in the military tent, but also several of Li Yan's soldiers and a deputy general.

It would be difficult for him to deal with Li Yan alone, but with these people, I'm afraid...

Ma Su's situation at this moment is equivalent to playing the lottery and just happened to see Destruction Piggy after the explosion, and happened to click on the main C's ultimate move.

The arrow is on the string and it has to be fired!

"Li Shijun, the Prime Minister has something important to tell you, but it's a pity that you are not in Xi County. The messenger Jiang Wan can only ask me to bring a message to Chencang and report to the messenger." Ma Di said expressionlessly, leaving no trace. Take two steps forward.

"What's the matter? Just say it!" Li Yan waved his hands casually, feeling like he was being insulted by looking at Ma Di.

"The Prime Minister asked me to tell you that rebels will die!"

Before he finished speaking, Ma Su took a step forward. His sword was unsheathed and he slashed hard at Li Yan, who had not yet reacted.

"Go to hell! Rebel!"
