Yu Yi happened to go to report to the First Lord, hoping to deliver 200,000 soldiers and horses and conduct training in advance. However, he was blocked by a close official, saying that the First Lord was in a coma. Yu Yi quickly asked the reason, and then learned that Zhang Fei had been killed and his head had been stolen by thieves and taken to the state of Wu. If Guan Yu's death did not cause ripples in Yu Yi's heart, Zhang Fei's departure made him very sad. After all, a few days ago, Zhang Fei and Yu Yi had a fight in front of everyone. They didn't expect it to happen so suddenly. .
Just as Yu Yi was about to turn around and leave, he was suddenly stopped by the First Master. It turned out that the First Master was rescued by everyone. When he heard that Yu Yi had come to visit him, he got up and walked out.
Yuyi turned around quickly and saw the First Master's face full of tears. The emotions in his heart finally broke out. He walked to the First Master and cried bitterly.
The ancestor shed tears and cried bitterly: "Now that the four brothers in Taoyuan are sworn brothers, we are the only two brothers left. You can't make any mistakes!"
Yu Yi calmed down and asked, "Third brother was fine when he went back that day. Why was he killed by a traitor?"
The First Master said: "He was attacked by thieves in his sleep, and then his head was cut off."
Yu Yi sighed: "I didn't expect that my third brother, who is extremely skilled in martial arts, would be harmed by a villain. It's really a pity. I will definitely cut my enemy into pieces."
The two chatted for a long time. This was the longest conversation they had since they became sworn brothers. Perhaps the deaths of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei made the former master value Yu Yi even more.
Before leaving, Yu Yi paid his respects and said: "I started the uprising in Daoxiang Village, and I am surrounded by generals such as Huang Shumin, Lei Chunze, Huang Mochou, and Xiaoli. Now my eldest brother has assigned 200,000 troops to me, and I need to enter the drill state in advance. .”
After hearing this, the First Master nodded and said: "Even so, go ahead and choose those 200,000 horses!" After that, he handed over the military talisman.
After Yu Yi returned, she came to Huang Shumin's home and happened to find Huang Mochou back. It turned out that she found Chengdu boring, so she left Chengdu to travel to other places. When she heard that the war was starting again, she came back again.
Yu Yi glanced at Huang Mochou and said: "You came just in time, I will tell you about the previous plan." After speaking, he shook the soldier talisman in his hand.
Seeing the serious expressions on everyone's face, Yu Yi continued: "The First Lord gave me two hundred thousand troops. Now he has given me soldier symbols and I can choose freely. I want to make full use of this and select some soldiers that suit our fighting style. According to this In proportion, Huang Shumin leads 50,000 troops, Lei Chunze 30,000, Xiaoli 30,000, Huang Mochou 20,000, and the remaining 70,000 will be the central army, led by me. In addition, Huang Shumin and Xiaoli will be the main force, and Lei Chunze will be the main force. The logistics support force, while Huang Mochou is the mobile force, until new orders are issued, your commander has the right to command the troops!"
After everyone received the order, Huang Shumin took the military talisman and went to the army to select soldiers.
After completing the deployment, Yu Yi went to Kong Ming's home and asked, "Do you know the news about the death of my third brother?"
Kong Ming said: "Three days ago, the general star in the northwest fell. It was as big as a bucket. I got the news today."
Yu Yi sighed and said: "If the victory of Liangchuan is our highlight moment, the sneak attack on Jingzhou is a turning point."
Kong Ming saw Yu Yi's worries and said: "Now that your Majesty is raising troops to march eastward, it is unwise, but you do not dissuade him. If this continues, Western Shu will perish!"
Yu Yi didn't want to argue with Kong Ming on the issue of whether to expedition eastward. Since this was not his decision, and as a sworn member of Taoyuan, he naturally felt hatred in his heart, so he changed the subject and asked: "Do you know what I am doing?" Why was my brother framed?"
Kong Ming said: "Your second brother was so proud and complacent that he finally lost Jingzhou. Your third brother had a bad temper. When he was drunk, he even liked to whip his generals. Many of them were beaten to death. It is said that this time it was also because of whipping the generals below, so it was His subordinates were dissatisfied, which led to the disaster of killing!"
Yu Yi suddenly understood and sighed: "I went to see the late master today. He is very haggard. He has lost relatives one after another. He is very sad. I'm afraid it's hard to explain!"
Kong Ming stood up suddenly and said: "Among the four brothers, you are the only one who is brave and resourceful. Why don't you replace Your Majesty and become the new emperor? I will fully support you, and your father-in-law will also fully protect you!"
This time Yu Yi did not avoid the question, he just smiled and said: "This time, if God really gives me a big responsibility, I will naturally do my part."
Kong Ming did not expect that Yu Yi would not refuse this time, so he was overjoyed and said: "Sooner rather than later!"
Yu Yi shook his head and said: "I have been thinking about this matter for a long time. Let's take this crusade against Soochow as the deadline. If I am really not my opponent, I will declare myself emperor and take control of the situation." That night, Kong Ming sent someone to prepare After a sumptuous dinner, Yu Yi got very drunk and did not go back.
The next day, someone reported that a team of soldiers and horses had arrived. The First Master walked out of the camp to take a look. After waiting for a while, he found that it was a young general in white robes and silver armor. After seeing him, he quickly got off his horse, knelt on the ground and cried loudly, saying: "Fan Jiang and Zhang Da killed me. Father, sent the head to Soochow!"
The late master was already in a depressed mood. When his brother and son told him about it, he became even more sad and couldn't eat for several days. The ministers bitterly remonstrated: "Your Majesty is ready to avenge your second brother, why don't you even eat and destroy your own dragon body?"
The First Master thought it made sense, so he started to eat and said to Zhang Bao: "Do you and Wu Ban dare to take our troops as vanguards to avenge your father?"
He replied: "I will die for my father!"
The First Lord felt that he could not delay any longer, so he was about to ask Zhang Bao to raise his troops. Suddenly, a group of troops came again. The First Lord asked his courtiers to investigate. Soon the courtiers brought another young general, wearing white robes and silver armor. After entering the camp, He cried loudly. The First Lord saw that the young general was Guan Xing, the son of Guan Yu. His emotions were triggered, and he burst into tears again. Everyone tried to persuade him.
The First Master said: "I am thinking that when I was still a commoner, I became sworn friends with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Yu Yi and swore to live and die together. Now that I have become the emperor, I am preparing to enjoy the glory and wealth with my younger brothers. As a result, both the second brother and the third brother died unexpectedly. How could it not be sad to see their sons?" After saying this, he burst into tears again.
Everyone said: "Two young generals, please step aside first and let your majesty take a rest to avoid being overly sad."
The courtier advised: "Your Majesty is already sixty years old, so you should not be too sad."
The First Master cried more and more sadly, and said: "My second brother and younger brother have passed away, how can I live alone in this world!" After saying this, he knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Seeing that they could no longer persuade him, everyone held a discussion on one side and said, "Now that the emperor is so troubled, how should we persuade him, and what should we do?"
Ma Liang said: "The First Lord personally led the army to march eastward, but he cried every day. This is very unlucky for the army!"
